Chapter 141: Position No. 3
Didn't fix the typo, it's too late, sorry! Chapter 141 Position No. 3 Heaven and Earth are slaughtered, and the cold wind is blowing.
As soon as I walked out of the tunnel, I realized that the weather outside was already so cold, and we only hid in the tunnel for more than ten days, and suddenly came to this small plateau in winter.
After nearly ten hours of artillery bombardment, the position was filled with smoke and the choking smell of gunpowder, so much so that I did not dare to gasp for breath, because with every breath I had, there would be a strong cough in my throat**.
This is not the time to cough, the snow-white smoke is full of murderous motives, and at any moment it may 'shoot' bullets in patches.
But my heart bends down and coughs a few times, and maybe I won't be able to get up again.
So I had to endure the discomfort in my lungs, and followed the soldiers towards the high ground with my rifle, "There was no gunshot, no lighting, and there was a deathly silence all around, and it was as dark as ink."
This time, *** is only limited to the Likou Heights.
The reason for this decision is mainly that the main purpose of this *** is to annihilate the enemy, and the North Mountain, which is defended by our army, is slightly shorter than the South Mountain defended by the enemy, which is not conducive to defense, so it is not in the battle plan for the time being.
The visibility on the position was very poor, and the soldiers could barely see more than a meter away, but the volunteer soldiers who had been lurking in the tunnel for half a month, everyone had participated in two or three times on the surface position, and they already knew the target on the surface position, so they kept rushing towards the No. 3 main peak position.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang in front of me, and my heart couldn't help but 'twitch', and I subconsciously fell to the ground.
But after waiting for a while, he still didn't hear the gunshots, so he got up and ran forward.
Then there were a few muffled "booms", and I quickened my pace and looked ahead at Position 4.
In this way, we successfully occupied the position.
No resistance from the enemy was encountered, except for a few on the positions.
Beyond the bombed and deformed bunkers were some reinforced concrete blocks that had long since been discerned.
A few openings in those bunkers were still slowly emitting green smoke.
Presumably, the soldiers who ran ahead, regardless of whether there were living people inside, stuffed two grenades into it first.
A short run further on.
Passed through the ridge that was only a dozen meters wide and stood.
On the position, one of my hanging hearts also let go.
The surface position of Shangganling.
It's easy to defend and hard to attack, especially this one.
The position is even more dangerous and abnormal, and it was here that Huang Jiguang sacrificed himself to block the gun's hole more than ten days ago before taking this position down.
So I was worried about having to do it again, and now I can finally put some of my mind at ease.
I think this is thanks to this large-scale artillery bombardment by our army! Ten hours of continuous bombardment, almost without interruption, which has never been seen before in the history of our artillery.
As the puppet army and the US army of our enemy, of course, they could not think of it, and at the same time, they were not psychologically prepared enough.
That's when we made a 'mess'.
In particular, the volley of rocket artillery drilled in the few seconds when approaching the attack was even more remarkable.
If a few hundred rockets were fired at the position in batches at different times, the effect might not be so good.
But all those rockets were poured down on this small high ground in a matter of seconds, and the sound and vibration it produced were unimaginable.
Many puppet soldiers hiding in bunkers may not have been directly bombed, but they are likely to have been deaf, stunned, or even shocked to death.
It took only a few minutes for us soldiers stationed in the tunnels to rush up to the top of the hill, and the enemy in the bunker may not have come to their senses, so we easily recaptured the two heights.
But just as the fighters stepped up their pace and rushed to the position of the No. 3 main peak, a few flares from the height made us realize that it was impossible to take the rest of the position so easily.
The sound of the machine gun soon rang out, and in the smoke, even the bright light of the flares could only vaguely illuminate the shadows of the volunteer soldiers.
But this was enough for the enemy, and the bullets quickly came down in pieces.
Then grenades were dropped from above, and only a 'chaotic' sound was heard, and half of the dozen or so fighters who had just grabbed the position fell in a pool of blood.
。
Positioned between Positions 3 and 4, immediately at the foot of Positions 3, it is so small that it is almost impossible to mark on the map.
In other words, Position 3 is just above Position 0 and is very narrow.
Enemy grenades almost always don't need to be dropped, and can be smashed into the heads of poisoners with a single drop.
However, because the grenades used by the puppet army are oval, they often roll down the slope to other positions when they are thrown on our position, otherwise, the dozen or so fighters in the No. 0 position, including me, are afraid that all of them will be sacrificed without exception.
Why didn't Li Baocheng on the other side still make a move! I couldn't help but feel anxious as I clutched my rifle and felt the bullets falling from my head like a gust of wind.
Enemy machine guns are aimed at.
The No. 3 position was 'chaotic' for a while, and I think for the No. 3 position, "the No. 3 position is not dangerous to defend, but I am afraid that it will not be long before our only remaining state, the battle ten will be sacrificed to the enemy, and the "stray bullet" point down 11 The No. 3 position is the main peak of the Zhukou Heights, that is, the highest position.
Its important 'character' is self-evident, mastering it is actually mastering the highest point, and the enemy only needs to put a machine gun up to pose a threat to almost any high ground on the high ground of the helper's mouth.
In addition, it is not a large area, and it is difficult for long-range artillery or even mortars to hit it, so it naturally becomes a battleground for both enemy sides.
It can be said that if the No. 3 position is not taken, even if we take the other positions, as soon as the sky is 'dark,' the enemy may take advantage of the geographical advantage on the No. 3 position to condescendingly cooperate with the frontal troops to attack, and without 'expending' too much effort, we can take all the positions back.
The focus of our mission, and even the operational plan of "fighting people with people" that I formulated, all revolved around the No. 3 position.
Therefore.
Before the war, I planned with Li Baocheng.
The two men each led a platoon of troops and carried out a two-sided flanking attack on position No. 3.
Our platoon was on the right flank of position No. 3 and position No. 0.
Li Baocheng led another platoon to attack the left flank of the No. 3 position through the No. 8, Slogan, and Old No. 3 positions.
However, from the present point of view, it is obvious that Li Baocheng's troops did not occupy the old position on time and formed a flank attack on the No. 3 position with our platoon.
At this time, there was a sudden shouting and explosion in the direction of the old position opposite.
It made me realize that Li Baocheng's troops were blocked by the puppet army on the old position.
Sure enough, after a while, a volunteer soldier came up to me and reported to me, "Chief of Staff! The second platoon led by Company Commander Li encountered the stubborn resistance of the puppet army at position No. 10 and was unable to launch an offensive against position No. 3 as originally planned! Company Commander Li is organizing firepower to intensify the attack on the No. 10 position."
"Not lazy! These puppet army boys! Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly.
If this was in the early days of the Korean War, it was also a puppet army, and after ten hours of shelling by the volunteers, it would be strange if we could find a puppet army jumping alive and 'chaotic' on Shangganling.
But now, they can still organize a powerful counterattack.
It seems that "the battlefield is the best training ground for a unit."
That's a good statement.
Under the guidance of a large number of instructors from the US military, the South Korean army has been training for five years.
But what is the result? Their army, known as the "Heroes of Asia", has been proven on the battlefield to be, "the bear of Asia, but it is also this army, and after only two years of fighting, it has become a tenacious, cunning, and scheming army". I raised my gun and looked through the scope towards Position 3, but I couldn't see anything in the dark.
Actually, I don't have to look at it to know it, from.
There is only one path from Position No. 3 to Position No. 3, and the strange rocks on the road are very steep.
Some would think that having a lot of stones on the road would be more conducive to the charge of the troops, as they would provide cover for the charging troops.
But this is actually a layman's statement, which may still be true when fighting with cold weapons, but in modern warfare, when the enemy drops a grenade, those stone fragments will be transformed into high-speed shrapnel, killing and injuring a large number of charging troops.
However, the left flank of position No. 3 was not like this, so when formulating the plan to attack position No. 3, it was based on the direction of Li Bao and the direction of attack for our army.
But now, when I was in a dilemma, a machine gun suddenly rang out from the rear.
When I looked back, I saw that four or five 'strong' machine guns had been set up on the No. 4 position at some point, and they had concentrated their fire on the No. 3 position.
By the light of the flares, there were volunteers running in our direction everywhere.
I couldn't help but secretly scream that this was our reinforcements.
In the telegram sent to me by Regiment Commander Zhang, I knew that because of the fear that the enemy would attack from the direction of Xishan, the military headquarters had always refused to transfer one soldier and one vehicle from the 44th Division to the direction of Shangganling.
And because the Bituan and the Shi Regiment were familiar with the terrain of Shangganling, they transferred supplementary soldiers to supplement the troops, and the Bituan and Shi Tuan were organized into nine companies as the main attack force of this time.
And some of these newly joined supplementary troops of our army have not even been on the battlefield for less than three months." When such troops fight on the battlefield, it is very easy to make the mistake of being reckless and impulsive, that is, they do not know how to preserve their strength and blindly recommend the tone to fight and rush hard.
I was just about to shout at them to stop the fighters from rushing forward.
But a few mortar shells came at me, and in an instant the rubble rained everywhere, and my shouts were muffled by the sound of explosions.
"Rush!" After a few shells, there was a shout of killing.
When I looked up, I saw that the soldiers were rushing in our direction in patches, and because the ridge was very narrow, the crowd was rushing towards the No. 3 position like a 'tide', and I could not stop it at all.
The machine guns that had been pressing us quickly shifted their direction, and the bullets flew over my head in rows with a sharp whistling sound, and then hit the soldiers.
Blood splattered and screams rang out, and the warriors fell to the ground and into the darkness one after another like lifeless stakes, blood quickly staining the scorched earth beneath their feet.
But the soldiers still rushed forward heroically, the soldiers in front of them came down, and the soldiers in the back stepped over the corpses of their comrades, one after another, but the enemy's firepower was long, and the soldiers of a platoon rushed up, and before the blink of an eye, they all fell in a pool of blood, and I watched all this with tears in my eyes, but there was nothing I could do.
Seeing this, the few remaining fighters beside me also 'disorganized' their positions, jumped up from their hiding places, and rushed to position 3 with a loud roar.
I didn't have time to stop them, so I had to watch them rush forward.
I knew what they were trying to do, they wanted to be able to get close to Position 3 and throw a few grenades to cover their charging comrades while the enemy's attention was diverted.
But before they could take a few steps, they heard two thuds.
The puppet army only threw a few grenades casually, and tens of millions of "shrapnel" were produced in that gravel area, and the soldiers were immediately shot and fell to the ground.
You can't attack from the front! After I calmed down, I quickly made such a judgment.
Although the visibility is very low in this dark night, this road is too narrow, and the puppet army does not need to 'spend' any 'fine' effort to monitor this road.
But what other way is there besides this one? There was no road to the north of the cliff, and the road to the west was supposed to be the best direction of attack, but it was blocked by the No. 10 position and could not be attacked for a while.
Then there's only "South? Even I couldn't help but be shocked when I thought about the south.
Because the south side is the enemy's anti-slope, not only is the terrain steep, but more importantly, the puppet army has built many anti-artillery 'holes' here, and a large number of enemy reserves are hiding in this anti-artillery 'hole' to prepare to attack our army.
In other words, this south is the enemy's position, "the south is the south, and I made a decision as soon as I gritted my teeth."
Anyway, I can speak Korean again, and in this darkness, everyone is dirty and a guide, who is afraid of whom! Thinking about it, I immediately turned around and crawled towards the anticline position of the puppet army.
This slope is really *** steep, almost like a cliff.
I hadn't taken a few steps before I had to turn around and climb down slowly.
It's no wonder that the puppet army doesn't rush up along this slope, this place is so steep, and they have never been good at fighting at night, rushing up from here, it's no different from looking for death.
In a few moments I was out of the range of the machine guns, and the shouts of the soldiers and the sound of gunfire were much smaller because of the ridge that separated me.
Sneakily 'touched' and 'touched' for a while.
I just felt that something was wrong.
I'm a puppet now! This is my own territory, so crawling on the ground, that by their own "comrades-in-arms."
I saw it, and it was strange not to 'show' my feet.
Thinking of this, I immediately got up from the ground, thought about it, and put away the bayonet on my rifle again.
Even though my gun is too... Rifle.
But I think most of the puppet army at this time will not know how to use bayonets.
Looking at the darkness in front of me with some weakness, I made up my mind and took a step and turned around with the center of the No. 3 position, hoping to use the shortest distance.
Without touching oneself "comrades-in-arms."
In the case of 'touching' up.
But heaven does not obey people's wishes! When I 'groped' in the dark for a while, and finally 'touched' the south of Position No. 3, I found that there were more than a dozen puppet soldiers lined up in two rows in the darkness and ready for battle.
Obviously, they are the puppet army that replaces position position No. 3.
Although the terrain of Position 3 is dangerous, the area is not large, and at most four or five people can be stationed at the same time.
Therefore, the puppet army can only use our combat method, that is, to suffer one casualty and add another to the position.
So I started to get into trouble.
Am I going to go up like this? No way! There are no casualties among the puppet troops on the position, not to mention that there are still more than a dozen puppet soldiers lined up there, so I just rushed up like this, and it would be strange not to be stopped by them for questioning! Or, "Obediently follow the queue?" Not at all! There are more than a dozen puppet soldiers lined up, and if I line up behind them, I'm afraid that after this battle, it won't be my turn to go up.
I also want to make sure that they don't recognize me in this military uniform during this time" When I was in a dilemma, I suddenly saw an empty *** box on the ground, and I couldn't help frowning.
With as natural a movement as possible, I picked up two stones from the ground and stuffed them into the *** box, then put the lid on my shoulder and carried it on my shoulder, "just covering the military hat on my head."
It's seamless! The military uniforms of the puppet army are similar to those of the volunteer army except for the military cap.
Now that I have this shell box as cover, and it's pitch black all around, if anyone can recognize me, then I really have nothing to say.
So he strengthened his courage, and the cat pretended to be in a hurry and walked briskly to the No. 3 position, and shouted very arrogantly as he walked: "??!??! (Korean: Get out of the way!) )。
Where would those puppet soldiers know that there was fraud, and they really made way for me, although I still pretended to be calm on the surface, but in my heart, it was a burst of 'chaos' jumping! It's really not easy to pretend to deceive people, and it's even harder than going through the ghost 'door'! Suddenly, one of the feet accidentally hit a cross.
Immediately, there was a scolding voice beside him: "I said boy, be careful for me!" The red 'color' elements are not playing with you, and you look good if you delay the business! Why don't you hurry up? "Yes! Yes".
I was so busy that I just thought that I didn't wrestle.
Otherwise, if you throw the two stones inside, it will be a big mess! (Visit h.)
