Chapter 35: The Battle of Mapingli (6)

After repulsing the Turkish brigade, I took the time to count the number of people, and found that there were only about fifty men left, including the wounded. In fact, all the soldiers who fought on the front line just now suffered knife wounds of great variety, and at this time there was no distinction between wounded and non-wounded soldiers. But I don't know why, but I don't have as negative as when there were more people and more people at the beginning. Maybe it was the suicide of the wounded soldiers who didn't care about life and death that made me see their strength and make me understand what kind of team I have! So I am now more confident and courageous, and I have no doubt that when the barbarians of the Turkish brigade attack, we will beat them down again, even if only the last man remains.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Battalion Commander Li walked up to me, his left hand with three fingers cut off. By this time it was already wrapped in bandages. I can almost imagine the enemy's cutlass sliding down Commander Lee's submachine gun, and then three of his fingers falling to the ground. But I also know that the enemy must not be pleased, otherwise Battalion Commander Li would not be standing here now.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Battalion Commander Li must not have participated in much actual combat, and at this time, he fought a vicious battle as soon as he came up, which made him a little unaccustomed.

At this time, his face looked a little pale, his lips trembled a little, and he said to me hesitantly: "Didn't you say that our task is to stay in Mapingli for a day? That our reinforcements

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and remembered Commander Pang's order: "Hold on for one day, and after one day we will withdraw to Mapingli to meet you!" If we haven't withdrawn to Mapingli in a day's time, you can retreat north! Don't come back. ”

Looking at the white sky in the east, if we count according to the time we arrived in Mapingli, it can be said that it has been a whole day, but there is no shadow of persuasion. None of the volunteers came near us.

Will they come? I don't know, and I can't be sure, because in history, they also had plans to retreat to Mapingli, and the military headquarters also had an order for the division to retreat to Mapingli. It's just that less than half an hour after they marched towards Mapingli, the military headquarters once again ordered to "stay put." So they had to turn back halfway. After such a moment of hesitation, Ma Pingli was lost. , the division was soon surrounded by the enemy on all sides.

That should have been a day ago, but now I'm here for a whole day, a day that hasn't happened in history. Will the kindergarten teacher come? I'm not sure. Because I don't know if the military headquarters will continue to give ridiculous orders, and I don't know if the division commander will continue to carry out those ridiculous orders.

What I do know is that as long as the Chi 0 division does not come, then I will not choose to retreat.

"Battalion Commander Li!" Thinking of this, I turned to Battalion Commander Li and said, "We have fallen into the encirclement of the enemy, and even if we want to retreat now, we can't retreat. Moreover, most of us are wounded soldiers, and if we break through, we may not be able to break through even if we pay a heavy price, so it is better to hold on here and wait for the comrades of the Hanshi to withdraw and join us, what do you say? ”

This reason is actually very simple, our life and death are actually linked to the 0th Division, if we don't have a division, we will always have a day when the whole army will be wiped out if we continue to fight like this, and the Ming 0th Division also needs us to nail it here, so as not to let the US troops cut off their retreat and form a four-sided encirclement for them.

"Hmm!" Battalion Commander Li nodded, and said with a look of embarrassment: "I also understand these truths. It's just that we're now

Saying that, Battalion Commander Li paused, looked back at the few soldiers in the tunnel, and all of them, all of them were wounded, and said: "The soldiers haven't rested for too long, they are too tired, and they are all injured, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long!" ”

"Hold on as long as you can." I was a little helpless, I didn't have a good rest for a few days and nights, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyelids, and my head was like a mess of paste. The warriors must have been no better. It's not. A few fighters had barely sat down and fell asleep leaning against the trenches. Moreover, the U.S. military will not give us a chance to rest, and if we continue to be tired like this, we will be exhausted to death.

"And those ***!" Battalion Commander Li is worthy of being in logistics, and at this time, he was still a little reluctant to look at the tunnels full of explosive bags and shells and said: "We worked hard to transport these things, and they were detonated like this, but it's a pity!" ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, Battalion Commander Li was really right, it was really not worth it to detonate it like this, and after thinking about it, I said to Battalion Commander Li: "Before dawn, immediately let the soldiers bury those explosive 'medicine' bags and shells in our trenches, and the positions on the anticline should also be buried!" ”

"Wrap up the explosives in our own array?. Hearing this, Battalion Commander Li couldn't help but be taken aback: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, then we are not sitting on the explosives 'medicine' to fight with the enemy, in case the spider is detonated by the enemy's shells,"

"So I'm going to bury you a little deeper!" I said a little impatiently: "The depth is subject to the fact that it will not be detonated by the enemy's artillery fire, and then connected with a lead, and the lead wire must be drawn all the way to the vicinity of the high ground!" ”

"Yes". Battalion Commander Li answered, and soon went to wake up the soldiers who had just fallen asleep, and then the soldiers dug the pit and carried the explosives and the explosives.

I'm not worried that the Yankees will find out what we're doing, digging 'holes' in the trenches, they'll think they're building a 'hole' in the trenches, not to mention the Sichuan cannonball box and the trenches, no matter who is in the Sichuan congregation, but what they don't know is that we buried all these explosives and shells.

※※

If the night is a friend of the volunteers, then the day can be regarded as half of the enemy of the volunteers, especially in such a clear and sunny day, in such a weather, the enemy's aircraft, tanks, artillery and other long-range weapons can show off their might in front of the volunteers.

As the soldiers had a hunch, the Yankees did not give us any time to rest, and when the first rays of sunlight in the east had just shone on the tired faces of the soldiers, the enemy's artillery fire rang out. The sound of the cannon came one after another, and the rumbling sound and the shaking of the ground made my eyelids sink and I almost fell asleep, which gave me the illusion of falling asleep in a crowded and noisy bus in modern times.

He shook his head desperately to sober himself up. Because I have heard from the soldiers that many of the soldiers who fell asleep like this in the midst of the sound of the cannon found that they could no longer hear any sound. This may be because the muscles of the whole body are relaxed after falling asleep. The muscles and flesh of the ears have also lost their self-protection function with rest! So I still forcibly tore some cotton wool from the inner lining of the cotton coat and stuffed it in my ears, and then tilted my head without hesitation, leaning against the wall of the pit and 'confused' and confused."

Anyway, I'm surrounded by comrades. As soon as the war began, they would soon tell me, as long as they weren't all as unconscious as I was.

I was woken up by the fighters next to me, and when I opened my jerky and stinging eyes, I quickly realized that the enemy had stopped shelling, and I couldn't help but complain in my heart, why don't these Yankees fight more. It's better to play for the day so I can get a good night's sleep.

It's funny to think about it, when I first came to this world, I was scared half to death by the small-caliber artillery of the puppet army, but now I can sleep beautifully under the large-caliber heavy artillery of the Yankees. And hopefully they'll fight a little longer.

Carrying a gun, he ran to the position and looked down. The black pressure below was full of people, and there were more than a thousand of them, slowly approaching our army's position under the cover of dozens of tanks. These tanks were probably transferred by the US military after spending a night building a road nearby! The U.S. army's charge really can't do without these iron lumps.

If you take a closer look, this time the Yankees' attack is a little different from usual. Their attacking force consisted of three battalions, divided into three lines: left, center, and right, attacking on three sides of our position. The left and right lanes are American troops, while the center is the Turkish brigade.

These Yankees really look up to us. With more than a dozen people and dozens of tanks to deal with our fifty or so, wounded soldiers, and the combination of Turkish brigades and American troops, this seems to be a combination of barbarism and modernization, with modern equipment to cover those barbaric Turks rushed up to us 'hand-to-hand'.

Of course, our fifty or so wounded soldiers will not be their opponents, but I know that this high ground is destined to become a sad place for these enemies.

"Whoosh, whoosh, a few Bazooka rockets with a few white tails came straight to the soldiers' positions, and then there was only a roar. A raging fire was lit in front of the position. Then there was a 'chaotic' bombardment of mortars and tank guns. Only the earth and rocks in front of the position flew 'chaotically', and there were also 'mixed' corpses in them.

It should be said that the bazookas equipped by the US military at this time were not advanced, because it was equipped with a large number of puppet troops in the early days of the Korean War, but because of the short range of the caliber, the armor-piercing shells that were fired were almost useless against the Korean People's Army's and Bi tanks.

But it's because it's shoulder-mounted. As long as two people cooperate, they can quickly reload and 'fire', and the combat 'fire' rate can reach 10 rounds per minute. Therefore, it is not good to fight tanks, but it is a weapon of assistance when the infantry charges.

"Hit!" At the sound of the order, the fighters opened fire. This time, when the enemy was at least five or six hundred meters away, I gave the order to go to war, because this time, I didn't want to hold on at all, and I didn't want to repel the enemy.

As a matter of fact, the distance of 500 to 600 meters is very suitable for machine gun strafing in the hands of the volunteers, because it is difficult for the weapons in the hands of the US military to play a role at such a long distance. The 'firing' range of the Peng submachine gun is only 200 meters, and the US troops with the submachine gun can directly ignore it; Although the theoretical 'firing' range is more than 700 meters. But very few people can hit the enemy at a distance of five or six hundred meters, except, of course, a sniper rifle with a scope, like me; Only the heavy machine guns of the US troops and the closed heavy machine guns on the tanks could pose a threat to our troops on the position, but because of the angle problem, the only thing that was hit was the soil layer in front of the trenches of the soldiers.

On the other hand, the range of the light machine guns and heavy machine guns in their hands is close to 1,000 meters. Although there is also the problem of insufficient 'precision', ****** bullets can still defeat many enemies. It's just that the United States has won several victories in this dish with tanks, and if the troops are sharpened, they will shrink behind the tanks and not be restrained. The machine-gun bullets hit the "Sherman Pershing" like gongs, and they flew everywhere with a clanging sound.

So without waiting for my order, the soldiers only stopped this kind of "wave" and bullet attack, and helplessly watched as the enemy "forced" higher under the cover of the tank, until it drove to the foot of the mountain where the tank could not drive.

"Retreat!" At this moment, I gave the order to the soldiers: "Give up your position and withdraw as fast as you can to the high ground!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers who were about to 'shoot' at the enemy couldn't help but be stunned, and some soldiers shouted at me in confusion: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, it's the soldiers who are using their lives in this formation."

"Execute the order!" I can't say anything about it.

"Yes!" Although there were many fighters who didn't understand, they still responded, put away their weapons and ***. The cat retreated along the 'crossing' trench towards the Wanyin Heights.

I raised my rifle and shot eight bullets in the chamber of the U.S. soldier who was about to rush up, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Yankees fell in response. This hand quickly made the Yankees realize that there were snipers on it. So they all lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Hit one with ten bullets. Enemies, unlike hitting two enemies with a single bullet, has a completely different effect. Ten bullets hit one, and the enemy was not afraid to hear the sound of the gun, and rushed upwards with a hula; But if a single bullet can hit one or two, the psychological pressure on the enemy will make them dare not make a bird.

I watched with satisfaction as the Americans lay on the ground below, loaded a new magazine for my rifle, and withdrew after the troops.

Running down the high ground along the 'crossing' trench, I heard the 'fierce' gunfire coming from the concave high ground and the knife leading high place, and I thought that these Yankees were also attacking the three high ground at the same time. After crossing an open area a few hundred meters away, and climbing up again, we successfully withdrew to the 10,000-3 Heights before the U.S. troops caught up.

"What's wrong, Deputy Battalion Commander Cui?" As soon as he saw us, Huzi couldn't wait to ask: "Can't hold the position?" ”

"It's not!" I shook my fork: "Huzi, prepare a few people, wait to rush up with me to take back the position!" ”

"Done!" Huzi responded without thinking about it. Soon several volunteer soldiers were called.

"How many?" Hearing this, Cui Zhenyou couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the growing number of American and Turkish soldiers on the 3rd Heights, and asked suspiciously, "There are hundreds of enemies up there, to say the least." Just a few people to take back the position?.

Before the words fell, we heard a burst of machine guns and mortars from the Li3 Heights, and those Yankees were not idle, and as soon as they occupied the Mi 3 Heights, they couldn't wait to take advantage of the favorable terrain and attack us indiscriminately.

Because the Blade 73 Heights are directly behind the Blade Heights and the 2 Heights anticline fortifications, and the distance between several Heights is also very close, only the rumbling of artillery is heard for a while, and bullets and shrapnel are flying 'indiscriminately'. The bombing made it so that the volunteer soldiers could not raise their heads.

"Ignite, ignite!" I hurriedly ordered Camp Commander Li.

In the sound of gunfire, although Battalion Commander Li couldn't hear what I was shouting, he also understood what I meant. Those who took three steps and made two steps ran down the hill under artillery fire, and after lifting a stone, they quickly found the lead, and without saying a word, they set it on fire.

But at this moment, only a loud bang was heard. A shell exploded next to Battalion Commander Li. Put him whole. They were all lifted into the air, and then they fell to the ground again.

I hurriedly jumped out of the trench and braved the artillery fire to run to Battalion Commander Li's side, pulling his hand. Unexpectedly, his entire arm was broken. I felt a chill in my heart, and I didn't dare to try the other parts of his body anymore, so I used all my strength to pick him up and run back.

Shells roared around, and machine-gun bullets whipped up strings of dirt at their feet. I could even feel the air flow of the bullet in my 'trousers' tube. And I also felt that this was pulled by someone and that was pulled by someone, and later I learned that it was a bullet that hit several 'holes' in the cotton clothes, this is the benefit of being thin, and the cotton clothes were broken with several 'holes', and I was stunned that I was not injured,,

Finally ran to the trench, and with the help of a few comrades, he slowly put Battalion Commander Li in the trench, and at this time he was already covered in blood and kept 'pumping' and grabbing.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, Deputy Battalion Commander Cui" Battalion Commander Li shouted intermittently, and I couldn't hear what he was saying in the sound of the artillery, so I had to put my ears up until I felt the hot breath coming out of his mouth, and then I vaguely heard him say, "Teach." Teach me to shoot guns and kill devils"

My heart was sour. Gritted his teeth and nodded slowly, and when he raised his head and looked at Camp Commander Li again, he was already out of breath, and he still had a relaxed smile on his face. It's like walking away but a 'door' is on the mind.

I held back my tears. just looked at Battalion Commander Li blankly, comrades-in-arms who lived and died together are like this, sometimes although they have only known each other for a day, they are like old friends who have been 'made' for decades!

At this time, I only heard "Boom! With a loud bang, a huge flame rose from the Li3 Heights in the stunned eyes of the volunteers and the American troops. Mi 3 The heights were razed to the flails in an instant,,
