After a short break, the trek began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After marching for more than six hours, the shadow of Heights 210 was finally seen, and the soldiers were very tired at this time, and the physical strength of the soldiers was constantly declining due to hunger and exhaustion, and it was difficult to maintain it now.

"Captain, can you give the soldiers a rest first?"

The soldiers were complaining, and Xiao Mubai, as a commander, couldn't turn a blind eye, so he walked up to Staro and asked for instructions.

Staro was looking at the map with his hand, a somewhat rudimentary map that the pilot of the reconnaissance plane had detected and then drawn from memory.

One can imagine how accurate it is to see with the naked eye and recall.

Kuah Island, at the beginning of the war, the American soldiers had never heard of such a name, nor did they expect that they would go here to fight, everything was unfamiliar, so strange that people resisted.

Staro was about to speak, when someone suddenly interjected.

"We can't rest, we can't rest for a moment, we must attack that hill as soon as possible."

Xiao Mubai turned his head and saw an officer, he was a little old, his hair and sideburns were a little white, and he was wearing an ordinary military uniform, without any markings.

However, Xiao Mubai knew that according to George's memory, this person was Lieutenant Colonel Tal, the commander of Lieutenant Colonel C Battalion under the First Steps Corps, and Starro's immediate boss.

It wasn't a good day, the sky was overcast and it seemed like rain was about to fall.

I don't know why this rain came, maybe it was to cool down and make the American soldiers feel better, maybe it was to stop the battle and not want the soldiers to die.

Xiao Mubai didn't know that this battle would be brutal, and the cloudy sky before seemed to indicate this.

Yesterday it was still sunny, but today the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and there was a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

The sky was overcast, and the 210 Heights seemed to be shrouded in fog, and the foggy seemed to be covered with a veil, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"We're going to take that mountain!"

Seeing Xiao Mubai look at him, Lieutenant Colonel Talr repeated a sentence of emphasis, showing his extraordinary determination.

Captain Staro turned his head to look at it, then turned to look at Lieutenant Colonel Tár, who replied with difficulty, with a hint of bitterness in his tone.

"No, Lieutenant Colonel, we can't outflank the enemy."

"Under the cliff on the left is the river, the Japanese are holding the jungle, and we have to attack head-on." Lieutenant Colonel Tarr spoke of his plan for action, pointing to both sides.

Xiao Mubai couldn't interject, he could only listen to the fighting methods of the two bosses, and Xiao Mubai couldn't participate in this level of confrontation.

"What about the water source? There is no clear water in the mountains. My brothers all fainted from lack of water. ”

Captain Staro looked left and right and gave another reason for his objection.

Staro was not wrong, he was just trying to protect the soldiers as much as possible, because it was wrong to start the attack now, it was doomed to fail, but Lieutenant Colonel Tal was bent on making meritorious contributions and turned a blind eye to this.

Lieutenant Colonel Tarr stood up, patted the dirt on his knees, put on his steel helmet, and spoke mockingly.

"They can go to war if they can complain."

Then, Lieutenant Colonel Tal just left, followed by a few guards at the battalion headquarters, and left without looking back, leaving only Xiao Mubai and Captain Staro in place.

This sentence is to express his heart directly, and he does not leave any emotion, and the soldiers next to him are very unsightly when they hear it.

"George, what do you think?"

Captain Staro was very powerless, powerless to stop all this, he could only watch the soldiers die, he looked at Xiao Mubai for help, in vain to get a little comfort from here.

"Captain, we have no choice." Xiao Mubai was also very helpless, after he said this, he also stood up and put on his steel helmet.

"Meet in Row C!"

Preparing for battle, the soldiers were low and leaning on the tall grass, lurking from the side. One soldier after another advanced, quietly lurking along the contours of the mountains.

Climbing up a small mound and leaning down, Staro motioned to stop.

"Side by side, Platoon C stays behind."

Staro looked at the 210 heights in front of him and didn't look back, Xiao Mubai next to him listened, wanting to speak, but there was no reason to speak.

"We'll have to cross three hills and take the hills." Captain Staro gestured, not giving Xiao Mubai time to think about it.

"The captain said we can't outflank the offensive, we have to make a frontal surprise attack." Captain Staro stared ahead, the breeze blowing, the grass undulating, and the 210 Heights stood as if it were a moat.

"Waite?"

"In!"

Waite was a lieutenant platoon commander in Platoon A, an unsmiling American officer of German descent who was extremely gifted in command and had always been an elite figure.

"See that stronghold, wait until you storm the hillside, find the enemy stronghold and destroy them."

Staro muttered as he stared ahead, unaware of what he was thinking.

"There must be an enemy over there."

On the high ground not far away, in a stronghold, this is a machine-gun bunker, and the Type 92 heavy machine gun is placed at the lookout, and the cold muzzle of the gun is staring downward, and the target is directly aimed at the American soldier.

In the silent grass, there are not even insects and birds, which is quiet and terrifying, and makes people feel chills in their hearts.

This time the enemy was different from the last time, the last time there was only a squad of more than fifty devils, and most of the rest were unarmed North Korean laborers, and the devils were surrounded from the beginning without the slightest defense.

And now, the U.S. military doesn't even know how many soldiers there are on the opposite side, where the devils are strongholds, machine gun bunkers, and where there are little devils in ambush, and they don't know anything.

In short, it was a war for which there was no preparation, and it only began with the impulse of the commander, for which he would have to pay.

"Questions?" Staro looked back in a daze.

"Nope!" Answer categorically, for everyone.

The sky gradually darkened, the mountains became more hazy, the fog rose, and the view began to be blocked.

Across the shallow Channel of Ainbotham, there is a small reef in the middle of nowhere. A spiky mountain towered like a volcanic crater, the tip of which resembled a woman's breast, and the clouds stayed and drifted there.

The soldiers were waiting for instructions from Lieutenant Colonel Tal, and without instructions they could not shoot without permission, and they all lay in the cold grass and waited.

"Lord, are you there?"

A soldier clasped his hands, and he trembled. He had been dehydrated a few hours earlier, and now he was so weak that he could only pray like a weak man in the face of battle.

"Don't let me betray you, don't let me betray my brother, you fill me with confidence and hope."

Xiao Mubai patted him on the shoulder to calm him down.

On the top of the hill, Lieutenant Colonel Tal was calling for artillery support, and if possible, Heights 210 would be covered by artillery fire for ten minutes, at which point the Japanese would suffer a heavy attack and heavy losses.

However, all this is difficult to predict, and there are only two groups of 105-mm howitzers, which can only play a little role in boosting morale.

Not long after, the artillery cover suddenly arrived.

"Boom!"
