The overwhelming firepower attack demonstrated the unparalleled equipment superiority of the US military, but this baptism of iron and fire could not make the volunteer soldiers surrender. The strong will of our ancestors is really beyond the imagination of those of us who live in ordinary lives.
Even if the bodies of his comrades are shattered, even if he is hungry and cold, even if he can no longer see the moment of victory, as long as there is still a breath of life left, there will be unyielding warriors who will step forward.
The battle lasted until an hour before dark. Colonel Puller's men had occupied several crucial commanding heights, but the battle was not over, nor was the resistance eliminated.
"How many enemies do we still have?" The colonel who is on the front line has been asking this question. What he wants is the effective force to kill a large number of opponents. As long as all the people are dead, all problems will naturally be over.
"We have counted the number of corpses and prisoners. The 60th Division of the Chinese Communist Army in Fushengli has lost at least 3,000 people. More than half of them were left behind by the 178th Regiment directly opposite us." The adjutant gave a summary based on the reports from each unit.
Promising data.
From the perspective of the US military, if a unit loses 10%, it will have to retreat, if it loses 20%, it will lose its combat effectiveness, and if it loses 30%, it will be a catastrophe.
Now in just one day, the 60th Division suffered a loss of almost 30%. Among its three main regiments, the 178th Regiment suffered half of its casualties. Such heavy casualties can almost declare the army to be broken.
"I really feel sad for those Chinese Communist soldiers behind the hill." After a depressed day, Colonel Puller finally laughed. He felt that his tough style had paid off. At least tonight, he didn't have to worry about the enemy's night attack. The opponent should be completely
Losing the ability to attack, you can only retreat.
At this moment, the U.S. military's frontline aviation controllers sent good news. The 'Pirate' fighter jets responsible for ground support found the hidden enemy's new heavy tank and the captured 'Pan' when attacking the valley behind Fushengli.
Wait for the vehicle.
"Get rid of those sons of bitches." Colonel Puller cursed fiercely on the radio. The scene in the morning was still echoing in his mind. It was a huge humiliation. A tank destroyed an armored battalion of its own. Although this armored battalion
It's incomplete, but it's also an unbearable loss.
"We also found the anti-aircraft gun. Ah..., the enemy tanks are maneuvering, they are accelerating. Hell, I saw the radar, it is firing." On the radio was the roar of the 'Pirate' pilot, followed closely.
I saw the heart-stopping black smoke appearing on the horizon again.
Is that scene in the morning going to happen again?
Behind Fushengli, several bonfires were burning under the chassis of the 'Pershing'. The low temperature in the Changjin Lake area made many weapons unusable. Once the tank engine stopped, it was difficult to start, and it had to be heated up.
Other vehicles are also being heated. All soldiers have their stomachs full and place their weapons by the fire to bake. They all use US military equipment and strive to obtain maximum combat effectiveness.
Looking at the time, Zhou Qingfeng stood on the turret of his IS-7 and shook his arms, and all the personnel began to board the vehicle. Each vehicle had to be packed with more than ten or twenty people, and even the tank was covered with people. He super-staffed the tank
The number of people in the platoon played a huge role, and finally there were enough drivers to drive the vehicles.
Each tank only retains the driver, gunner, commander and other tank crews who require professional skills. Other positions are filled by ordinary volunteer soldiers. The excess tank crews are sent to drive the stolen tanks and vehicles, which is enough to carry three hundred
The needs of soldiers.
While the tanks were heating up, the entire starting position was inevitably discovered by the US military 'pirates' in the air. Several enemy planes immediately launched a dive, trying to kill this powerful armored assault force with machine guns, bombs and rockets.
However, the two engineering vehicles used together formed an anti-aircraft firepower network. The fire control computer, which was made with electron tubes at a high cost, was calculating at high speed and controlled the double-barreled anti-aircraft gun to rapidly spray shells.
The turret of the anti-aircraft gun is rotating flexibly and rapidly, and the barrel is tilting intelligently, using extremely precise firepower to vent the anger that has been suppressed for a day - damn the Americans, they will bully us for not having a strong air force. If you have the ability, don't use aircraft to fight
ah!
In the fierce burst of firepower, countless hot bullet casings jumped out from the anti-aircraft gun turret. Enemy planes were shot down one after another, but enemy planes flew over one after another. Apparently the U.S. military pilots in the sky received the message.
Tough order, this huge threat must be eliminated.
"Damn it, are your tanks warm?" Seeing the enemy planes flying around like flies in the sky, and the huge fuselage of the B-29 even visible from high altitude, Zhou Qingfeng shouted angrily, "If you don't start it, we will
He's going to be blown up alive."
The platoon deputy and 'Old Machine Gun' at the back were also sweating. They had tried their best to find firewood in the snowy land of barren mountains, but the current campfire was not big enough. 'Old Machine Gun' was forced to panic, so he simply set himself
He took off his precious cotton clothes and threw them into the bonfire.
"Burn, burn, burn, the tank won't start. I might as well freeze to death." As soon as the 'Old Machine Gun' set an example, the soldiers in the tank platoon followed suit. After all, as long as the tank started, they could still hide in the tank to avoid the cold. If it couldn't start, they could hide in it.
, wearing clothes is also a death.
With the super anti-aircraft gun, the 'Pirate' is not scary, but the B-29 'Super Flying Fortress' is scary. It flies too high, even the 40mm anti-aircraft gun can't reach it. And it's a carpet bombing, there's no way to hide.
Hiding everywhere.
Zhou Qingfeng raised his telescope and saw that all the strategic bombers in the sky had opened their magazines. He immediately slapped the turret and shouted to the pilot: "We can't wait any longer. Let's take the first step."
The three IS-7s are electrically driven and have been strengthened for severe cold temperatures. They started immediately after receiving Zhou Qingfeng's order, and the powerful power pushed their huge bodies forward.
As soon as Zhou Qingfeng moved, the two IS-7s behind him also moved. The platoon deputy and "Old Machine Gun" both knew that their platoon leader was going crazy again - this was to attract enemy planes to leave and give them time to warm up their engines.
Sure enough, the three IS-7s are the thorn in the side of the US military. Seeing this heavy tank with a thick muzzle begin to accelerate forward, whether it is a fly-like 'pirate' or a giant like 'super air fortress'
', and they all followed.
In order to emphasize the accuracy of bomb delivery, a B-29 even risked lowering its flight altitude. The Norton bomber it was equipped with claimed to be able to drop bombs into a pickle barrel on the ground. It obviously wanted to fly along the valley and then use a huge number of bombs.
The IS-7 that killed Zhou Qingfeng.
"Fuck-You!" Looking at the 'Super Sky Fortress' volleying in the air, Zhou Qingfeng only had one M2HB in his hand that could shoot in the air. This thing is pretty good at hitting infantry, but it's hard to hit 'pirates', and it's hard to hit B-29
It's even more impossible.
"Speed up, I don't want to die. Speed up. The rain of bombs is about to fall. We must rush to where the Americans are to avoid it!"
