Chapter 21: Encirclement
"All return to the tunnel!" At my command, the warriors were soon back in the tunnel.
This sortie was a bit of a surprise to the soldiers, because we repelled a Yankee charge almost without firing a shot.
"It seems that this anti-tank trench really works." As soon as he returned to the tunnel, even the old squad leader who didn't like to talk opened his mouth.
"That's it!" Zhao Yongxin also nodded and said: "We didn't fire a shot, and the Yankees lost a tank, and several people were killed, so many times to come!" We don't have to do it, and the Yankee tanks will be all reimbursed."
"Beautiful yours!" The old squad leader smiled.
What is a little surprising is that Huzi, who usually loves to brag, now doesn't say a word, just giggles beside him.
"What are you laughing at?" I finally couldn't help but ask.
"I, I'm just thinking about the tiger 'touching' my head and smiling even happier: "I'm thinking, when we dig that anti-tank trench" The comrades of the 80th Division are still making fun of us! Said that the trenches we dug can't hit tanks, and now they can't laugh, it's time for me to laugh! ”
There was a coax, and the soldiers were all amused by Huzi's stupid appearance.
Before the laughter fell, the enemy's shells came one by one, but to the surprise of the soldiers, this time the Yankees shelled not the positions of the volunteers, but the anti-tank trenches we built.
With a burst of roar, bursts of flames and smoke from the explosion of artillery shells rose in the valley between the two heights, and after a while the whole valley was plunged into a cloud of gunsmoke, and there was no longer a shadow of anti-tank trenches?
After a long time, the sound of the artillery finally stopped, and the smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, and when the anti-tank trenches reappeared in front of the soldiers' eyes, they were already unrecognizable, and in some places they were originally high raised earthen embankments. By this time it had become a deep crater. But even so, because the anti-tank trench was dug deep and wide, and there was still a pit after the paint ditch was blown up, the original topography was generally maintained.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, these Yankees were also arrogant, and they couldn't find a good way to get past this anti-tank trench, so they simply came to shuffle the cards. But if this in modern times are famous "Golan trenches." "If it is cracked so easily, then it is in vain.
"Yankee's tanks are coming".
Everyone looked in the direction of the enemy. Sure enough, I saw more than 30 tanks rumbling up again with a large group of infantry, led by a dozen Shermans, who seemed to be dragging a lot of things behind them, but they couldn't see what they were under the cover of the rain and tank exhaust.
"Get into position!" With a wave of my hand, I led the soldiers back to the trench at the foot of the hill, and this time it was time for a tough battle.
The trenches were very close to the anti-tank trenches, only thirty meters, so when the enemy tanks drove in front of the anti-tank trenches, we finally saw what was dragged behind them sandbags.
The equipment of the US military is different, and the most important thing they pay attention to on the battlefield is efficiency, followed by money. There is no doubt that it is much more convenient and practical to build trenches with sandbags than the trenches dug by the volunteers with shovels, because they only need to put the soil into the sandbags and then build the sandbags layer by layer. Moreover, the construction of trenches with sandbags is not limited by the terrain, such as rocky areas or low-lying areas, where it is difficult for volunteers to build fortifications, but sandbags can quickly and easily build fortifications of various shapes.
Now their sandbags are clearly coming in handy again, and if it weren't for the large number of sandbags available to the U.S. military, it would not have been easy for them to pull up so much landfill in one trip.
The guns rang out again, and the volunteer soldiers on the high ground on both sides of the anti-tank trenches would not let the American troops succeed so easily. In fact, the 'crossing' firepower they constituted can well block the infantry that follows behind the tanks, and the US military's will to fight is not strong, and perhaps it cannot be said that their will to fight is not strong. Under their mentality, the volunteers used machine guns and mortars to strafe and bombard the infantry behind the tanks from the high ground, and the infantry obediently broke away from the tanks and retreated to the second line: but the tanks still drove very arrogantly to the front of the anti-tank trenches with its ironclad protection and powerful firepower.
With the roar of motors, piles of sandbags were piled up in front of the trench, and then the Sherman tank, which had been converted into a forklift, gently pushed it, and it didn't take much 'effort' to fill in the anti-tank trench.
Seeing this, as soon as I waved my hand, I took fifty fighters armed with anti-tank grenades and 'touched' them on the waist. These 50 or so fighters were selected from more than 300 people to have the best bomb throwing results during the bomb throwing practice.
This also includes Huzi and Ren Fengyou, Zhao Yongxin has affected his results because of a foot injury, and I just let him command the other troops in the rear, and they are responsible for fighting the tank observers on both sides of the high ground, in case we are heroic, it will be their turn."
The fighters don't have to worry about being spotted by the tanks, because the second brother is blocked by ten embankments. Although this Steve was blown up by enemy artillery fire, we were still able to advance covertly with the help of the 'Jiao' trenches and the remaining earthen embankments. Plus, the enemies are hiding in the tank, so it's really hard for them to spot us;
The distance of more than thirty meters was not long, and after a while the fighters scattered and ran to the earthen embankment to lie down, and prepared anti-tank grenades just to wait for the tanks to come up. The muddy water all over our body just became our camouflage, allowing the warriors to merge with the earthen embankment.
The rumbling was getting louder and louder, and the creaking of the tracks was sharp and harsh. It's like the steel beast grinding its teeth before eating, and there is an unbearable itch at the root of my tooth
At this time, the sound suddenly changed, and a tank climbed out of the earthen embankment, and the entire hull of the tank was raised high due to the slope. Put it at the weakest bottom of the armor *** in front of the volunteers.
Speaking too late, a volunteer soldier skillfully pulled out the safety pin of the anti-tank grenade in his hand, and then looked at the bottom of the tank, only to hear a "boom" sound, shrapnel and rotten swim flying, the bottom of the tank was blown open a big "hole", and under the inertia "nature" slid over the earthen embankment to the bottom of the earthen embankment and never moved again.
When the fighters saw that this trick really worked, they did not expect that the tank would be so vulnerable. I can't help but be demoralized. All of them are holding anti-tank grenades and jumping 'to try'!
Then three more tanks rumbled up one after the other, and soon two more were killed by the volunteer soldiers, but the other was allowed to cross the top of the embankment smoothly because the grenade was not on target. This is a Sherman tank, just listen to the "canopy." With a thud, its head slammed into the muddy water from mid-air. The flying mud flew in all directions, causing the surrounding volunteer soldiers to be so embarrassed that they forgot to throw grenades at it for a while.
I hurriedly chased after a few steps, then condescendingly threw the anti-tank grenade at the Sherman tank, hitting the top of its turret with a bang, and the tank only squeaked a few times and stopped moving. Soon after, two more fighters filled the tail of the tank with two more grenades, completely destroying it.
This is another great feature of the Golan trenches, the use of earthen embankments to put the two weakest armored positions of the tanks *** in front of us.2
The armor-piercing of the tank was mainly on the perimeter, the thickest part was the front armor, followed by the side armor, and again the rear armor? Since directly above and directly below the tank will rarely be attacked by anti-tank weapons, these two. The armor is as weak as a crocodile's belly.
When the earthen embankment reaches a certain inclination, the tank climbs the earthen embankment. The bottom of it will be 'exposed'. And when going down over the earthen embankment. And it will 'show' its top. The so-called "raise your head to 'show' your belly, and bow your head to 'show' your back." "That's what I'm talking about. This gave the Volunteers two excellent opportunities to blow up tanks.
On the other hand, the U.S. tank, when its head is held high, the cannon cannot be aimed at the sky, not to mention, even the machine gunner inside can't see the volunteers below because of the angle, and the speed will increase when it crosses the earthen embankment. And it will also oscillate violently, so that the machine gunner cannot aim at all?
So the tanks that crossed the earthen embankment were like one by one. "Live target" will not shoot, will not ***, but also put the weakest part *** in front of the volunteer soldiers "live target"!
Occasionally, a few tanks would have been clever enough to break in through the gap in the embankment, but they were also unable to escape the fate of being blown up, because the volunteer soldiers had already been ambushed on the embankment on both sides of the gap, and all they had to do was to condescendingly drop grenades on the top or tail of the enemy tanks."
The other tanks of the American army did not seem to know what was happening behind the embankment, and although the tanks were blown up one after another behind the embankment, there were still tanks on the other side, which only made the hands of the volunteer soldiers a little weak. Finally, when the fighters were running out of anti-tank grenades, the few remaining tanks of the US army realized that something was wrong, and they made two turns on the side of the earthen embankment, and finally retreated unwillingly!
At this time, the earthen embankment was already full of black smoke and fire of all kinds of tank wreckage, the soldiers counted a total of 20, the loss of the volunteers was only two soldiers because they were too close to the grenade 'wave', resulting in one death and one injury.
I can't believe that even I can achieve this kind of result. Before this battle, I even left a batch of grenades for Zhao Yongxin's troops, in case they could fight again after our heroic battle, but now it seems that there is no need for that at all.
"Rejoice! It's *** painful". Huzi looked at the bombed tanks and shouted at me proudly with laughter: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" I killed the three Iron Kings
"What's the smugness?. Ren Fengyou cut and said: "I also killed three, but if there is no anti-tank trench organized by Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, I will be heroic if I see that you have not killed any of your tigers!" ”
"That's right, it's right, it's still Deputy Battalion Commander Cui's anti-tank trench!" The tiger laughed, and so did the warriors, for whom there was nothing happier and more relieving than striking the enemy hard.
When we returned to the high ground where the kindergarten teacher was stationed, we were covered in muddy pools. The soldiers of the kindergarten division only stared at us in a daze, at the bombed-out tanks at the foot of the high ground, and all of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Some fighters are whispering: "The tanks of the emotional Yankees are all medium-sized; Two, it was almost blown up so easily. ” ※
But these words were quickly reprimanded by others: "What do you know? I haven't hit the tanks of the Kuomintang! At that time, the Kuomintang tank was the smallest Xiafei light tank in the Yankees' pile of tanks, and the United States had aided the Kuomintang during the Chinese Civil War, and we don't know how many lives we would lose when we blew up that tank! Now there are more than 20 cars bombed by people, and there are so many big frank people."
"That's it!" Another. The voice also lowered his voice and said: "People call it a snake to fight seven inches, and they are looking for the thinnest place of the tank to start, they are experts, and they want you to fight!" It's long gone, thoroughly! ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel secretly proud in my heart, if the previous Fourth Division only came out of the forty years of fame and worshiped us. Then the battle just now has already made them admire us in their hearts.
Before we could rest for a while, we saw a communicator running up with a cat on his waist, because our group of soldiers who had just finished blowing up the tank were covered in mud, so he searched for a long time and couldn't find anyone, and finally had to shout at us in embarrassment: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, where is Deputy Battalion Commander Cui?"
"Here!" I looked up slightly.
"Captain Pang asked you to go!"
"Hmm! Just come". I raised my head, casually washed my head and face with the rain, and followed the correspondent towards the regiment headquarters.
Before I walked to the regiment headquarters, I heard the hearty laughter of Commander Pang: "This Deputy Battalion Commander Cui is really worthy of his reputation."
It turned out to be talking about me. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. The news of this head Pang is still 'very' fast, and he knows all about it before I have just finished the battle, as if he has sent someone to watch how I fight, maybe there will be a record!
"Report!" I shouted at the 'door'.
"Hmm! Come on, come on, come in! ”
As soon as I walked in, Captain Pang held my hand warmly and said, "Come on, come on, I'll introduce you." This is Pan Fang, the political commissar of our regiment, and as soon as he came back from his mission, he heard that you had won a big victory! ”
"Hello commissar!" I hurriedly 'straightened' up and saluted.
Comrade Xiao Cui". Commissar Pan stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Good fight!" Well played! When I first came back and heard the good news, I couldn't believe it! ”
"Why can't you believe it!" Commander Pang handed a glass of water to the two of us: "When I reported this news to the division commander, do you know what the division commander said on the phone? "What? Blew up twenty-one enemy tanks? We are only killed and wounded? I said, Comrade Pang Kechang, have you confirmed it? We are the best soldiers and the people's team, we must seek truth from facts, and we must not drop such a thing as falsely reporting our war exploits!
Commander Pang not only imitated his voice, but even his demeanor and movements were a little similar, which only made Political Commissar Pan and I laugh.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, I have another piece of good news." After laughing for a while, Regiment Commander Pang patted me on the shoulder and said, "The division commander just told me that the enemy's combat plan you hypothesized has finally arrived at the headquarters after the division commander has reported it layer by layer, and the command headquarters attaches great importance to your assumption and orders the troops on the front line to reconnoiter the enemy according to the assumptions you made.
To the great shock of the command, the enemy's maneuvers on all sides were exactly what you had assumed. Not only is there signs of the enemy, but according to the reports of the KPA intelligence officers who have penetrated into the enemy, the US military has also prepared airborne troops and 'elite' armored units, intending to penetrate and 'intervene' into the rear of our army to divide and encircle our army. So the command decided to immediately stop the offensive, and the whole army turned to a strategic retreat! ”
"Great!" I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I heard this, and my assumption finally made the volunteers fight for two or three days to retreat. Don't underestimate these two or three days, the volunteers were originally going to 'insert' into it in the past two or three days, but now they have begun to retreat, and the results are too different!
"Hmm, are we going to retreat too?" Hearing this, Political Commissar Pan couldn't help but ask.
"No!" Commander Pang shook his head and said: "Considering that our army has already come into contact with the enemy, the command ordered our 60th Army to take on the task of blocking and holding its position and covering the retreat of the large army!" ”
Hearing this, my heart slowly sank. Could it be that this large army retreated early, and the 80th Division still could not escape the fate of being surrounded and completely annihilated?
"What's wrong? Deputy Battalion Commander Cui? "When Head Pang saw that my 'look' was wrong, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Captain Pan, Political Commissar Pan, look!" I walked to the shell box, pointed to the map on it, and said, "Yesterday, the division commander also said that the worm division of our 60th Army is assigned to the Kou Army, and the Yang Division is assigned to the 1st Zhan Army. The 60th Army is divided into three units on a frontal distance of dozens of kilometers to command, "it will take at least two days for the 8th Division to be rebuilt, and it will take one day for the 7th Division, and during this time, the US Army is very likely to have launched ***, so that the 8th Division and, the 7th Division cannot get closer to our army! However, the friendly units on the left flank and right flank of the 80th Division retreated according to the orders of their superiors"
"You mean" Regiment Commander Pang quickly saw the truth, and couldn't help but 'gasp' when he heard the words: "You mean that our army is in danger of being surrounded?"
"That's right". I nodded, and replied affirmatively, "Not only is there a danger of being surrounded, but the possibility of being surrounded is even greater!" ”
