Chapter 27 299 Battle of the Highlands (1)

When the vanguard of the American tanks and infantry passed, the fragile convoy completely exposed the flanks in front of us, and Company Commander Zhang only shouted a blow, and the light and heavy weapons of the whole company opened fire on the enemy in unison.

Suddenly, the gunfire was loud, and the two cars in front were smashed into a sieve in the blink of an eye, and the American GIs inside were either killed or injured before they could jump out of the car, and the whole car was stained red with the blood of the American soldiers with a scream. However, there were also some clever ones who lay under the car at the first time and dodged the first round of bullets, but before they could react, the car exploded with a loud bang.

The car's fuel tank was turned on, and the burning car spewed black and red smoke into the air, and in a short time the whole highland was enveloped in the choking smell of gasoline and smoke. Several U.S. soldiers were screaming and rolling out of the car, screaming hysterically and rolling frantically, and after a while they could no longer move.

“Incoming！ (U.S. military colloquial: Pick up the enemy.) ）”

“Go，Go，Go!”

As soon as the convoy stopped, the GIs jumped out of the cars one after another under the command of the officers, each looking for cover and raising their guns to return fire.

As soon as the U.S. troops opened fire, the sound of guns was completely different, rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, mortars, recoilless guns...... Suddenly, bullets and shells rained down on the mountain. If it is said that the guns of the volunteers just now were in pieces, then the bullets and shells of the US army in front of them can be described as piles.

Mother, I cursed in my heart, I only had time to shoot a shot and was crushed in the trench by their bullets and couldn't lift my head. There were bullets whizzing around my ears, and the shells kept exploding in front of and behind me, only to hit the gravel shrapnel and the enemy...... It is no wonder that some people say that the firepower of a battalion of the US army exceeds the firepower of a division of the Volunteer Army, and now it seems that there is such a thing.

At this time, the enemy's vanguard also retreated, and the infantry fought and retreated somewhat in confusion, and from time to time a few carried the wounded on their backs. Only four of the six tanks came back, and two of them were bombed by other volunteers in just a few moments.

It also made me realize that our company was at the forefront of stopping American deserters.

The tanks pushed away the burning cars, and then lined up on the road to meet our positions with a fierce bombardment, and the machine guns on the tanks also joined in the strafing fire, only to hit the gravel and ice in front of the trenches in all directions.

Exercise! Where is this war? It's like a bullet comparison! I'm afraid that after this battle, this small mountain bag can directly become a mine to mine iron ore.

This was the first time our company had fought the Yankees, and we were unprepared for the sudden and stormy blow, and we immediately felt overwhelmed, and all of us were crushed in the trenches and could not be exposed. Several unconvinced comrades tried to throw grenades, but as soon as they stood up, they were hit by several bullets and fell in a pool of blood.

The company's trenches were divided into three lines, each more than 20 meters apart, for the purpose of adding a few more lines of defense so that the enemy would not easily break through. Second, because the hill is too small, if there is only one line of defense, the soldiers of a company are crowded together, and it is easy to be killed and injured by enemy artillery fire.

But even if the line of defense I was on was the front, more than 60 meters from the road, I had to stand up if I wanted to throw a grenade.

But fortunately, the volunteers have already built relatively strong trenches, and they are condescending, so as long as we don't stick out our heads, the enemy's bullets and bullets can't do anything about us.

"Lao Tzu just waits to see how long you can fight!" I made up my mind that I wouldn't stick my head out, no matter how many bullets you had, it would be time to run out.

In fact, I think the other volunteer soldiers thought the same way, because then few people stuck their heads out to fight the Yankees. The volunteer soldiers are heroic and are not afraid of death, but it does not mean that the soldiers will make senseless sacrifices. Fighting is all about saving yourself as much as possible and destroying the enemy.

I felt that this sentence was really too reasonable, and I secretly made up my mind that if I could survive this battle, I must engrave "Only save yourself" on one side of the butt of the gun, and "Only by destroying the enemy" on the other side. Of course, the side of self-preservation must be obvious...... Therefore, in order to fully implement the spirit of this sentence, I will go into the bomb shelter first!

Thinking about it, no matter what his comrades-in-arms thought, he turned around and climbed into the bomb shelter. It turned out that I was also very prescient, but in a moment I heard the whistling of enemy planes in the sky, and then the enemy's heavy artillery also sounded, and in a moment all kinds of explosions resounded on this small hill, and the whole earth shook and shook......

Remembering that I was almost deafened by the heavy artillery of the American army last time, I hurriedly pulled some cotton wool out of the inner lining of my cotton coat and plugged my ears.

Call! The whole world is quiet...... Except for the dirt and rocks that fall from the roof of the bomb shelter from time to time, which still scares me, everything else seems to be gradually moving away from me.

I haven't had a good night's sleep for a few days and nights, and when I quieted down, I only felt my eyelids sink for a while, and I just wanted to close my eyes and rest for a while, but I fell asleep unconsciously. In a daze, I only felt that my breath was tight for a while, and I was suddenly hit by something, and when I woke up, I saw a big stone in front of me, and I thought it was it that fell down and woke me up just now.

Looking at the entrance of the cave again, I couldn't help but be startled, the corpse of a heavily armed American soldier was blocking the entrance of my air-raid shelter, no wonder I felt nervous just now, and I felt that this reactionary was dead and planned to take one away, trying to suffocate me to death!

Not good, I'm ...... How long have I been asleep, it took me a long time to react, why did all the American troops come to our position?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly removed the cotton wool from my ears, grabbed the M1 rifle, kicked the corpse of the American soldier blocking the hole, and walked out.

The sound of gunfire continued, but as soon as I walked out of the cave, I was pierced by the light outside, and I hurriedly lay down on the spot, and secretly said in my heart that if there was an enemy outside, I would die.

I endured the stinging pain and opened my eyes, and I couldn't help but be startled by the scene I saw, there were corpses everywhere inside and outside the trenches, there was not a single living person, there were American soldiers, there were volunteers, and some were charred, and I couldn't recognize which side it was. The corpses of both sides were overlapped on top of each other, probably after a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Slowly poked his head out to see that the Yankees' tanks were still there at the foot of the mountain, the American soldiers were there, and the artillery was also ...... It's just our comrades-in-arms?

At this time, there was a sudden burst of gunfire behind me, and when I looked back, I couldn't help but be startled, more than 200 American GIs were attacking the last line of defense of the Volunteer Army behind me!
