Chapter 108: Waiting
"Kill!"
Look at the U.S. troops pouring up like a tidal wave in the smoke. I yelled, stood up, took aim at the U.S. military, and pulled the trigger.
In fact, it is inaccurate to say "aim" at this time, because the enemy is right in front of me and there is no need to aim at all. With a barrage of gunshots, one enemy after another screamed and fell in front of me. After a while, only a "clang" was heard, and the magazine jumped out of the chamber.
For the most part, I hate the "clang" of the M1 rifle because it tends to tell the enemy that I am out of ammunition. But at this moment, I thought it was nice to have this sound, because it also reminded me that the rifle was out of ammunition. Otherwise, I think I'd still be holding this rifle with no bullets and pulling the trigger at the enemy.
The U.S. military apparently heard the crisp sound as well, and at the same time they were very familiar with it, and of course they knew what it meant. As a result, the U.S. troops, who had been beaten by me and retreated, once again mustered up the courage to rush up. But what they didn't expect was...... Not only do I have their M1 rifles, but also their proud melee weapon, the M1911.
"Bang bang bang......" There was another series of gunshots, and several American troops who rushed to the front rolled down the hill with a scream. The corpses of the fallen American soldiers slightly blocked the momentum of the American troops who were rushing upward. But they also had red eyes, and rushed up desperately past the screaming corpses.
I threw away the M1911 in my hand and reluctantly loaded my rifle with a bayonet.
The reason why I feel helpless is because I know very well in my heart that fighting bayonets is really difficult to defeat with two fists and four hands, and no matter how good my skills are, I can't withstand the attacks of three or four people, not to mention that I don't have much skill in fighting bayonets. Moreover, the enemy is not only three or four times more than us.
This position will be lost early, I hope the soldiers in the tunnel can think about the overall situation and don't rush out to save us, otherwise Shangganling may not be able to hold it!
I immediately laughed at this idea of my own, at this life-and-death juncture, how can I only think about the mission and the position like the soldiers! We don't want anyone else to come up and save us......
"Down with US imperialism!"
While I was waiting for the enemy to rush up with my bayonet, one of the fighters rushed towards the enemy with two rifles with a loud roar......
Wait a minute! Two rifles?
The battlefield was already full of smoke and made people's vision unclear, so that the US military could not distinguish what was with what after hitting a few smoke bombs. If you look closely, where are the two rifles! It's two smoky blasters!
As soon as I hurried to the ground, I heard a loud "boom", a "violent storm" blowing over my head, and a huge shock wave took my hat and flew away. When I looked up, I saw that there was blood and stumps all around me, including myself.
"Long live Chairman Mao......"
Before I could react, another fighter rushed down, this time holding a bag of explosives. Then I soon found out that this kind of behavior of the fighters was not only in my position 9, but also in other positions without exception.
Smoke grenades prevent the shooter from finding distant targets, and most of the targets that are close to them are not in a hurry to reload. At this time, there were no more gunshots on our positions, but instead there were shouting slogans and roars, as well as exclamations and unbelievable shouts from the US positions.
"It's crazy, they're crazy!"
"I can't believe it's true!"
The U.S. military soon gave up on the victory they were about to win and retreated. In fact, I think they also know that there aren't many people on our positions, and they also know that as long as they hold on a little longer. can successfully capture our positions.
But they just can't hold on.
Because, they can't imagine that there is such a way of playing in this world. Back then, little Japan used its plane as a bomb to crash into a U.S. warship, and that was also to defend Japan's last line of defense, so what did the volunteer soldiers defend? It's just not two small highlands, and these two small highlands are not even our land.
So the US military is scared. Originally, they thought that the volunteers would not fight hard because of the territory of North Korea, but now they know that they are wrong, and they are very wrong!
I think this is why in the next few decades, the United States will always like to use words such as "hypnosis" and "brainwashing" to describe Chinese soldiers. Because they couldn't believe how a normal person could do such a crazy thing!
"Retreat! Retreat into the tunnel! "Looking at the American troops retreating like a tide, I gritted my teeth and gave the order.
As soon as we withdrew into the tunnel, the sound of American artillery rang out. Although the sound of the cannons has not changed, and the density of the cannonballs is also very high, for some reason, I always feel that these cannons are no longer as loud and powerful as before. On the contrary, I also felt that the sound of these artillery was like the US military was covering up their timidity and venting their fears......
Time passed little by little, listening to the thinning of the artillery of the American army overhead, and I gradually recovered from the shock on the battlefield just now.
This battle taught me that sometimes it's not just rifles and artillery that can take down the enemy. And courage!
I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, and was shocked to find that the hands were already pointing to eight o'clock, but we still did not receive any news of the attack by the American army.
"Haven't the U.S. forces attacked yet?" I couldn't help but ask Instructor Qin beside me.
"Nope!" Director Qin shook his head: "I think they were scared by the fighting style of the soldiers just now!" ”
"That's it, the comrades of the Eighth Company fought so bravely!" Miao Huaizhi said approvingly: "When encountering such a style of play, the Yankees will not be able to accept it this time!" ”
"Hmm! It turned out that it was the Eighth Company ...... who went up just now, "Listening to Miao Huaizhi's words, I knew that it turned out that Gao Yongxiang's soldiers who went up with me just now."
"Chief of Staff!" Director Qin smiled bitterly and said: "We have made an appointment with the artillery to cover the artillery at nine o'clock, if the Yankees don't come up, then we will waste a batch of shells in vain!" ”
"yes!" I nodded helplessly: "I hoped that the US military would come up later, but now I hope that the US military will come up soon, which is really embarrassing!" ”
"Report!" At this moment, a dusty volunteer soldier ran in and saluted in front of me: "The American army is coming up again!" ”
"Oh, it's just the right time!" Hearing this, Instructor Qin couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Chief of Staff, this time we don't need to send troops to go up to the top!" When they come up, let them rest for a while, and it's almost time for our artillery to cover it. Let's just wait in this pit to see a good show! ”
"No!" I shook my head: "It's better to send a platoon as usual." ”
"Chief of Staff!" Hearing this, Director Qin couldn't help but remind him a little unbearably: "We don't have much ammunition, and the casualties are also very large!" ”
"If we don't send some troops up to the top, maybe it will arouse the suspicion of the Yankees!" I replied: "They are not fools either, and they know that we have artillery." And once they capture the high ground, they will also withdraw with a large force like us, leaving only a small army to garrison on the high ground, and then the effect of artillery coverage will not be good, and the goal of killing and injuring a large number of enemy troops will not be achieved! ”
"The Chief of Staff is right!" Listening to what I said, Instructor Qin had no objections, and immediately nodded and replied, "I'll ask Company Commander Gao to bring one up immediately!" ”
"Wait!" As soon as I heard that it was Company Commander Gao again, I couldn't help but explain: "Tell that Company Commander Gao, we still have to save ammunition, don't be too ruthless, our purpose is to lure the enemy up as much as possible." You must not rush down with the explosives bag like you did just now! ”
"Yes!" Instructor Qin answered, and immediately grabbed the phone and gave an order.
This time I didn't go into battle with the fighters again, because I suddenly felt tired and needed to rest. The battle may not be as fierce as it was yesterday. It wasn't as long as yesterday, but I felt more tired than yesterday. I think this is probably the reason why I picked up another life from the ghost gate just now! Although it is not the first time that I have taken this little life from Lord Yama, I still can't stand it.
Ignoring the mud and blood all over his body, he slowly lay down on the bed, and the scene of the soldiers rushing towards the enemy with explosives bags and blasting canisters flashed in his mind over and over again.
I don't know how long it took, Instructor Qin suddenly ran up to me and shouted, "Chief of Staff, it's not good!" The enemy pressed too hard, and the fighters on the position could not retreat! ”
"What?" Hearing this, I suddenly rolled over and sat up from the bed, and when I woke up, I grabbed my rifle and ran out of the headquarters. At the mouth of the tunnel, he met Miao Huaizhi with a few soldiers at the mouth of the tunnel ready to respond, and immediately ordered: "Miao Huaizhi, bring your people with me, bring more grenades!" ”
"Yes!" Miao Huaizhi responded, and waved excitedly into the tunnel, and dozens of volunteer soldiers followed with a hula.
The battlefield was not as easy as I imagined, and the positions were littered with the corpses of volunteer soldiers. Originally, I thought that this battle would be won as long as I casually topped it and withdrew to the pit when I couldn't stand it, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce.
"What's going on?" I lay next to Gao Yongxiang and asked, only to find out that Gao Yongxiang was also hanging color, and his left arm was still wrapped in a bandage!
"Chief of Staff!" Gao Yongxiang shot the submachine gun in his hand at the enemy who was rushing up, and then retracted his head and reported to me: "Chief of Staff, this group of enemies is a little different from the previous ones!" It's very hard, and the marksmanship is good. Many of our comrades died under their cold guns! Looking at this situation, if we retreat, we may be killed by them on the way before we get back to the tunnel! ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately raised the rifle in my hand and looked at the American soldiers down the mountain.
I couldn't help but be taken aback by this hope, because among the attacking American troops, I saw that some of them had oil paint painted on their faces.
"Rangers!" The word quickly jumped into my head.
I immediately pointed my scope at their arms and looked at them, and a black armband flashed in my sight. That's right, it's them.
In modern sources, I have some knowledge of the Ranger of the U.S. Army, which in the Korean War was a 112-man Ranger company assigned to an infantry division of 18,000 men to serve as a special task for each division. In the actions of the divisions, the rangers were responsible for cover. Tasks such as searching, denying or assaulting important targets.
Of course, because the Rangers are small in number and fine, they are generally not used in ordinary missions, especially in this high-casualty mission.
But this time it was an exception, and it seemed that the Yankees in front of them were in a hurry to fight and sent their most elite troops up.
Looking at the U.S. Rangers in the scope, I remembered a battle I had fought with them. At that time, there were only a few dozen of them, and they flew directly to the rear of our army's defense line with helicopters, in an attempt to cut off our army's rear route. Although they ended in failure, I still remember their courage and the quality, coordination, and combat capability of the whole army. What impressed me even more was that I killed one of the Rangers' snipers in that battle, and the gun I had in my hand was his......
Wait a minute!
I suddenly remembered what Company Commander Gao had just said: "Many of our comrades died under the cold guns of the enemy. ”
This made me realize that there were snipers in the enemy again.
So I hurriedly withdrew my sniper rifle and shrank my head back......
"Whoosh!" Almost at the same time, a bullet flew past my scalp.
I screamed to myself that if I hadn't known that snipers were waiting for important targets, I might have just come up and let the enemy crash before I could fire a shot!
But to put it another way, I was able to be targeted by enemy snipers as soon as I came up, which also shows that I am very attractive!
The so-called heroes know heroes, I know that there are snipers in the enemy, and my heart is a little itchy. I want to try it out with him to see who wins and loses, and of course, the stakes are the lives of two.
But on second thought, it will soon be time to be covered by our artillery fire. If I don't have a tight competition like this, maybe I'll even put all my comrades in it together......
Thinking of this, I waved at Miao Huaizhi and the others: "Grenades, throw them all at me!" ”
"Yes!" Miao Huaizhi is also a veteran, and of course he knows that this is to cover the withdrawal of troops to the tunnel. Therefore, without my explanation, he immediately commanded the soldiers to line up and disperse, and then picked up the small trumpet hanging around his neck and blew it, and the soldiers threw the grenades one after another.
There was a chaotic sound of "boom ......", and a cloud of smoke rose in front of the position, and this smoke was like a black cloth pulled up on the inclined plane, completely blocking the sight of both the enemy and us.
As soon as the explosion sounded, the soldiers grabbed their weapons and turned around and ran towards the mouth of the tunnel.
The mouth of the tunnel dug at the top of the mountain is not far away, and it is only a few tens of meters away from the position on the top of the mountain. With the cover of the grenade barrage just now, we all ran towards the mouth of the pit with confidence.
The U.S. military will not guess our intentions. Even if they guessed that we were going to retreat under the cover of the barrage, they didn't dare to act rashly, after all, they couldn't be sure if there were still people left on our army's position, and no one dared to joke with their lives, right?
But suddenly, a gunshot rang out from behind us, and the two fighters next to me fell to the ground with a "tom". Before they fell to the ground, the bloody arrows that spurted from their bodies rushed in front of me, and in an instant there was a bright red on the charred earth.
One shot in double! It's a sniper!
I can't help but grit my teeth and hate it!
He kept chasing after the grenade explosion, otherwise he wouldn't have been behind us so soon. I can't imagine this guy would be so ruthless! Not only did he guess that we were going to retreat, but he also chased after us regardless of whether there were people left behind in the position!
Why is he so desperate?
I soon realized that he was fighting for me, snipers, and many times it was a fight for life, and this time was no exception.
And the reason why his bullet didn't hit me was because he didn't recognize me from the back at all. He's declaring war on me with this shot! He's telling me he's coming!
He wants me to come back and fight him......
If I don't look back, he'll still provoke me in the same way, and he'll perform his marksmanship in front of me just like he did just now!
Damn it! Dead is dead!
Thinking of this, I rolled over and rolled towards a nearby tunnel.
I didn't look back, let alone raise my gun to aim at him, because I knew that if I did, I wouldn't have any chance of survival.
He's a master.
When marksmanship rises to a certain height, it is no longer marksmanship that determines whether a sniper is a master, but the head, judgment, endurance and other factors. Judging from his performance just now, he is indeed not simple.
So, I wouldn't be stupid enough to turn around and shoot him while he was aiming his gun in my direction.
I quickly realized I was right, for the moment I rolled into the tunnel, two bullets whizzed over my head.
I clutched the gun in both hands, lying motionless in the crater, ready to poke out of the crater and shoot. I made up my mind that if this guy dared to shoot at the soldier again, I would fight him.
Perhaps under my pressure, this guy never fired another shot, and let all the fighters enter the pit one after another.
At this point, I quickly realized what he was waiting for, he was waiting for other American troops to come up, and as soon as his comrades came up, he could kill me or even capture me alive, so he couldn't take the risk of fighting with me. All he had to do now was plug the crater where I was hiding with the muzzle of his gun, and then he could easily wait for the victory to come......
But he's waiting, and I'm waiting!
I wanted to pull out my pocket watch and check the time, but I was afraid that the guy would suddenly appear in front of me with a gun at this time.
So I can just wait, wait......
In this chapter, I would like to pay tribute to the volunteer soldiers who were once stationed on the surface of Shangganling. When fighting with the enemy for a surface position, because it is impossible to arrange too many troops on Shangganling, there is often a situation where the firepower is insufficient for the enemy to rush to the position. The way for our troops to repel the enemy is to rush at the enemy with explosive packs, blasting canisters or cluster grenades, and die with the enemy.
