Chapter 140: Artillery Coverage of the Chinese (35)
Although Captain Hurley tried his best to motivate his GIs and try to hold on to them, the GIs' minds had already been shattered by the continuous grenade explosions, and the better ones had a better personality, and when they faced Hurley, they nodded and agreed, and ran as fast as rabbits as soon as they turned around.

The hot-tempered one simply put a gun to Hurley's nose and scolded him for his incompetence in command, what is the defeat of the army, this is the case.
Seeing that the situation was irreparable and that there was a possibility of mutiny under pressure, Captain Hurley could only accept the advice of his soldiers and began to retreat.
At this time, the "Mad Bull" company-level battle group may not be able to attack, but the retreat is expected, so the GIs gathered around Hurley again, obeyed his arrangement, alternated cover, like a rolled up hedgehog, and began to slowly retreat south along Highway 9, at the same time, Hurley strictly ordered the South Korean and Turkish troops who were actively rushing from the 104th Heights to attack the pursuing Chinese troops from behind.
At the same time, he called an artillery group several kilometers away, positioned it with accurate coordinates, and stopped and fired at the Chinese troops who were constantly rushing in, and even in order to evacuate safely, Hurley personally talked to the air force responsible for supporting it, and brought in four night fighters.
In this way, under the aircraft, artillery, and Hurley's powerful counter-assault, the Chinese army that continued to pursue finally could not support it, and the movement gradually slowed down, taking advantage of this opportunity, Captain Hurley commanded the "Mad Bull" combo battle group, with a super high degree of mechanization, and suddenly opened full power, and in less than ten minutes, the Chinese army that was convenient for pursuit opened a distance of nearly 500 meters.
Seeing this, Hurley, who had been aggrieved for half a night, finally seized the opportunity to take revenge on the Chinese army, so he grabbed the communication machine responsible for guiding the rear artillery group, personally reported the coordinates, and guided batches of artillery shells, like a storm, splashing on the Chinese army in hot pursuit.
At this time, the South Korean and Turkish troops who were hurrying over from the 104th Heights had also exchanged hands with the Chinese army's blocking forces, and Lee Yuanji's anxious and blunt call for fire support sounded again and again in Hurley's jeep through the command and communication plane.
However, as if he hadn't heard, Hurley turned off the command intercom that was responsible for communicating with his allies.
There was no way, Hurley's original purpose was to use the South Koreans and Turks to drag down the pursuing Chinese army, even if it was only delayed for a few minutes, then his goal would be achieved, because he could use the firepower advantage unscrupulously to continuously attack this powerful Chinese army.
What the? Will you accidentally damage allies? Isn't friendly troops used to be cannon fodder, since they are cannon fodder, how to die is not the same, and there is no need to divide what charge battle death or accidental injury to death! Therefore, for Hurley, the life or death of the South Koreans and Turks has nothing to do with him, even if he directly orders to cover it with artillery fire, Hurley said that he has no pressure.
You must know that he commanded the troops to get rid of the pursuit of the Chinese army, but in the process of this process, the losses of the "mad cow" company-level battle group are really not small, not to mention anything else, just that overwhelming "grenade rain" made half of the troops of this company-level battle group lose their combat capability, and in the subsequent retreat process, some soldiers were killed or wounded, and until now less than one-third of the soldiers can barely fight.
It can be said that without the continuous support of ground artillery and aerial fighters, his company-level battle group of more than 100 people could have been completely buried in the desolate northern part of Korea.
He had fought the entire Pacific War, but had never encountered such a humiliating defeat, which annoyed a proud Hurley, so he had just escaped the pursuit of the Chinese army, and he thought about how to get revenge after dawn, and constantly vowed in his heart that he must wash away the shame he suffered today with the continuous blood of the Chinese.
However, just as Hurley was fighting back towards the Tailiang Rear Tactics, there was a sudden earth-shattering explosion in front of the fast-moving convoy, followed by a violent storm set off by the explosion, roaring along the American marching column, and the GIs sitting around the trucks, jeeps and even armored vehicles were instantly engulfed by the storm before they could understand what was happening.
The sudden flames echoed with the most lethal fragments.
Blurred flesh and blood and soldiers who not only mourn and mourn roamed the wilderness!
The continuous explosions continued, but the "Mad Cow" company-level battle group has become a thing of the past.
When witnessing this hellish scene in front of him, Hurley, who was already deeply injured, had no desire for revenge again in his heart, only nostalgia for life and fear of the Chinese army behind him......
"Boom~~" Another earth-shattering explosion sounded, and the flying prefabricated fragments directly smashed Captain Hurley, who was paralyzed in Willis's jeep, into a mess of flesh, so that he didn't even have time to scream the most painful wail, and it became a pile of garbage-like filling.
Ensign Wilhelm, who had taken the lead in concealment, could no longer maintain his already tense nerves, and finally broke down and cried out, like a desperate beast, constantly making the most primitive pleas, but just a few hours earlier, he was still discussing the joke of the Chinese army with the dead Hurley.
And now, William, who is suddenly anti-ancestry, has forgotten that he is now the biggest joke in the world.
However, at this time, William didn't care about these, whether he laughed or not, life was the most important thing, so he was like holding a life-saving straw, holding the contact radio, and roaring at the intercom with the most primitive roar: "We are covered by Chinese artillery fire, please support, we are covered by Chinese artillery fire, ask for support......"
William's extremely wailing roar soon turned into radio waves and reached the division headquarters of the 1st US Cavalry Division six kilometers behind, where the generals and colonels of the 1st US Cavalry Division, who were anxiously waiting for the news of the "mad cow" combo battle group, listened to this desperate cry for help, and almost fell to the ground one by one.
They had just responded to Hurley's request to implement artillery coverage on the pursuing Chinese army, and how long did it take for the Chinese army to return the favor with its own way, and directly completely blocked the "Mad Bull" combo battle group with sharper artillery fire, so fast and powerful counterattack, is this still the Chinese army in their impression?
