Chapter 466: Chinese who are not afraid of death are too terrible
No one knows what the Chinese are using because it's too weird and too violent.
So much so that the 6th Company of the American Ranger who attacked was crippled just by taking a look.
Wharton was really going crazy, and the entire U.S. Army formed a total of eight Ranger companies, three of which were deployed in Europe to fight the Soviet Union, two stayed at home as rotational rest, and the remaining three were all put into the Korean battlefield.
However, at such a heavy cost, Neutron Mountain remained unmoved, and Colonel Wharton could not help but secretly regret it, in fact, after the defeat of the Canadian army, he proposed to General Van Vliet to withdraw his troops.
However, Van Vliet was confident in the iron law of steel crushing flesh and blood, and the strategic plan of capturing Tieyuan and encircling and annihilating the main force of the Western Front of the Volunteer Army was too tempting, but Van Vliet did not agree to his suggestion, but persuaded him to continue to invest in a larger-scale offensive.
Unexpectedly, the steel of their Americans is hard, and the flesh and blood of the Chinese are harder.
Until this moment, Wharton finally understood that the reason why the Chinese army called the Heavy Fire Company on the top of the mountain was able to rush out of the previous encirclement and inflict heavy losses on him again and again was not because of how powerful the weapons were in their hands, but because each of their soldiers had a determination to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths!
Such an enemy is terrible, more terrible than all weapons!
"Call the Air Force, burn that thing for me!"
There was fear, but it was no longer something that Wharton could control when it came to this role, so he could only helplessly regard himself as a gambler who was anxious to return to his roots, and numbly pressed the weights that he could use again and again, so his face became extremely cold and even more frighteningly numb.
……
Fang Liang was also very numb, although he was very happy in his heart, because of the enemy's onslaught and was repelled by them, but the rumbling and violent explosion just now shook his mind dizzy, his ears rang non-stop, but more importantly, he was dazed by the flames devouring life.
Xiao Lizi is dead, Lao Cao is dead, and Wu Chen is dead...... There are still many people who know each other, and those who don't know are dead!
At first, Fang Liang was still grief-stricken when he saw the death of his comrades-in-arms, just like a few months ago when he saw his battalion commander sacrifice himself to ensure the passage of the train, tears flowed non-stop.
But gradually, his tears were gone, not because he was ruthless, but because too many people had died, and his tears had long since dried up.
Suddenly, Fang Liang's dried eyes once again had the urge to burst into tears, and he wanted to laugh, because he could cry again, crying for his dead comrades, crying for his parents who were far away in China, and crying for himself for finally repelling the enemy......
Finally, the corners of Fang Liang's mouth twitched, and "poof~" fell in front of a "conscienceless cannon", and the military uniform, which had already been stained red with blood, gushed out bright blood red again!
"Tiny house!"
Lao Tang, who had just returned to the tunnel, saw this scene and couldn't help shouting, several, at this moment, four US attack planes suddenly dived at a low altitude, and 8 napalm bombs fell in response, and Lao Tang, who had not yet rushed out, was directly pressed to the ground by several soldiers behind him......
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The position of the unconscionable cannon was in a sea of fire, looking at the scorched ground with blazing fire, Old Tang had red eyes, clenched his fists, listened to the enemy who was charging again at the bottom of the mountain, looked back at the scarred soldiers behind him, and only said: "Prepare for battle!" ”
He carried a steel gun and prepared to break through the raging fire and fight the enemy in a final bloody battle.
At this moment, the radio intercom, which had not been silent for a long time in the tunnel, suddenly sounded, and a wounded soldier who was familiar with communication equipment grabbed the headset with difficulty, and after listening to only one sentence, he shouted hoarsely: "The artillery will cover the neutron mountain with artillery fire, and the superiors will let us withdraw!" ”
Old Tang, who was about to rush out, was stunned when he heard this, and didn't say anything, just looked at the Zhongzi Mountain position, which was no longer in shape, waved his hand at the only few soldiers, and then walked towards the exit in the depths of the tunnel......
Five minutes later, a rain of shells suddenly smashed into Neutron Mountain, and the American troops who had just reached the top of the hill only had time to feel the victory before they were covered by this dense artillery fire.
In order to cover the artillery fire of the front line this time, the commander-in-chief of the Tieyuan front not only asked for the three German-made 150mm howitzers that the logistics department of the Volunteer Army had survived, but also pressed all the Katyusha rocket artillery regiments that were obtained from the artillery directly under the headquarters of the Volunteer Army.
In addition, the remaining more than a dozen medium-caliber guns formed a powerful artillery group, and the moment it received a response from Neutron Mountain, it began to strike overwhelmingly and violently.
At the same time, the reserves deployed in the depth of Tieyuan, under the cover of this artillery fire, began to launch a powerful counter-assault on the US troops on the front line of Neutron Mountain.
As soon as the US military, which had already gone to the outside world to become a strong foreign force, saw that the Chinese army still had such a strong firepower strike capability and counterattack momentum, it immediately lost all its fighting intentions, and immediately shrank its defensive line and turned to the defense.
At this time, the heavy firepower company and other troops that had been attacked by the US military and had been holding their positions for several days took advantage of this opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield safely.
In response to this, General Van Vliet, the commander of the Eighth Army, who was located at the front, was furious and strongly demanded that General Ridgway continue to give him reinforcements.
However, this time General Li Qiwei did not lose his mind as he did last time, because the reconnaissance report he had just received showed that the Chinese elite corps that had almost dumped the Eighth Army in the second battle had been put up for repair and had been moved south to the 38th parallel as a strategic reserve for the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
In this way, Tie Yuan also lost his strategic value, because the Chinese army can rely on this new force to carry out another large-scale attack on the US army, and then the US army, which has already pressed all the reserves, will fall into a complete passivity, so Li Qiwei decisively chose to end the combat operation and turn to the defense on the spot, as for the next trend of the Korean War, leave it to the domestic politicians to solve.
After Van Vliet learned of Ridgway's attitude, the grumpy general immediately shook the coffee in his hand and scolded Ridgway for being cowardly and shameless as a domestic politician, but Colonel Wharton, who was under Van Vliet's rage, was secretly relieved.
No way, the Chinese who are not afraid of death are so terrible that the current Colonel Wharton has long broken off the idea of collecting Chinese weapons and equipment, and only wants to return home quickly, because in the face of the courage of the Chinese army not afraid of death, any weapons and equipment with bright data is a trivial joke, in this case, what is the need to stay in North Korea to find what proof?
Wharton had the idea of returning to China, but Bai Yi had already received the exact order to return to China, but at this time he was not in a hurry to leave, but sat opposite the bandaged old Tang on an empty meadow, silently staring at the dense and large water cup full of two pots in front of them, and did not say a word for a long time......
