The sound of machine guns and bomb explosions soon became loud, and the soldiers consciously helped the wounded to hide in the tunnel before I could give an order. Due to the slow speed of helping the wounded into the tunnel, more than a dozen soldiers who did not rush into the tunnel fell in pools of blood.

After a while, the enemy planes, having not found a target to attack, circled the sky a few more times, dropped a few bombs at random and flew away.

As soon as the bombing sound of enemy planes had just disappeared, there were faint bursts of gunfire from the south.

"Don't get out of the pit for the time being!" I ordered, the enemy shelling had not yet begun, and if the wounded went out at this time, it would do little but increase the casualties.

Running to the position with the soldiers, the trenches that had just been built were beaten into a mess, with strings of bullet holes like small pots. There are craters like craters, and sorghum rice that has been blown all over the ground. Make the whole position look like a mess.

Herein lies the benefits of bombing by enemy aircraft. Regardless of whether our fortifications are built on a positive or anti-inclined plane, they can cause considerable damage to our fortifications.

"Rebuild the fortifications!" Seeing this, I reluctantly ordered.

"Yes!" The warriors answered, and soon '' the shovels again. They also know it in their hearts. In the face of the powerful firepower of the American army, it is difficult to stop their attack if there are no fortifications. Able-bodied warriors are fine and can move to find shelter in favour of the terrain, but for those wounded who have limited mobility, there is only one result if there are no fortifications, and that is to serve the enemy as a live target.

From this point of view, it may not be a good thing to bring the wounded into battle. Because from the beginning of the formulation of the strategy to the current actual combat, the wounded more or less affect the flexibility of the whole team. But it wouldn't work without them, and I sighed helplessly, we are too few in number, and without them we simply don't have enough troops to defend these three heights.

I couldn't help but chuckle when I thought of this. When did he become so ruthless. The wounded were willing to sacrifice their lives to fight alongside us, and I was able to weigh their pros and cons on the battlefield without considering their feelings at all.

However, it seems that there can be no too much emotion on the battlefield, leaving a small army to cover the retreat of the large army, and not telling the soldiers the truth to let them carry out a feint, these are all things that people outside the battlefield seem to be emotionally unacceptable, but they are not uncommon on the battlefield. Maybe this is the cruelty of the battlefield!

"There is a situation!" A sharp-eyed warrior shouted.

The soldiers looked along the road, only to see a few people running out of the corner of the road, because the distance was too far, and it didn't look like a volunteer army, and they couldn't tell the enemy from the enemy for a while, so the soldiers hurriedly raised their guns and prepared for battle. I leaned over the scope and saw several KPA soldiers in tattered clothes appear in front of me.

"It's your own people!" I hurriedly shouted: "Go down and a few people to answer, and the others are ready to fight and block the enemy who is catching up from behind!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered, and soon a dozen fighters jumped out of the trench and ran down the hill to meet them.

After thinking about it, I then ordered: "Order the artillery to get ready, target the road a kilometer ahead!" ”

The soldier beside him answered, and soon ran to the back of the mountain and fought at the battalion commander Li on the Li3 Heights

。

The artillery positions of the Volunteers were different from those of the Yankees, whose artillery was generally arranged on flat open ground, while the artillery of the Volunteers was mostly hidden.

The most convenient and safe way is to hide the entire gun body in the air raid 'hole' and only 'expose' the barrel to the outside, of course, this kind of fortification is required to be high, large and strong. high because the howitzer's barrel is cocked high; The big is to give the artillery enough space to transport *** and reload shells; Needless to say, if such a tunnel is not strong enough, and a large piece of earth and rock collapses with a sound of the cannon inside, then you will be buried alive after a few more shots. Therefore, although such a work is good, it requires a lot of manpower and time.

The other is to dig a cannon 'hole' behind the mountain. When the cannon is fired, the cannon is dragged out of the 'hole', and then dragged back after a few shots, so as to prevent the enemy's planes and artillery from knocking out our small number of cannons in one shot. This kind of fortification is much simpler than the previous one, and only needs to be made larger than the ordinary tunnel. The disadvantage is that the use of artillery takes longer to prepare and is more dangerous.

Because of the constraints of time and manpower, the artillery positions we are building now are like this. I saw that not long after the flag was fought, and in the dozen or so tunnels under the Liao 3 heights, a 'door' and 'door' were quickly dragged out, and the whole body was covered with camouflaged howitzers, and then under the 'operation' of those artillerymen, the barrel began to slowly rise, aiming at the road in front of the high ground.

At this time, more and more KPA troops were retreating from the road, and there were four or five hundred people. Dozens of KPA soldiers took the initiative to stay at the corner of the road to take cover, shooting guns and throwing grenades at the enemy who was catching up behind, but soon a shell bombarded them.

The smoke cleared, and before I could see the corpses of the soldiers, a thick tank barrel burst in like a claw sticking out of hell

"Komiri. Then there is the cocoon's track, the Tansu's turret, and the Gradation Gun with the turret.

It's the "Pershing" tank again, and after so many 'exchanges' with the Yankee's tanks, I've long been familiar with heavy tanks like them, and almost when I first saw that gun barrel, I knew that it was this killer again.

The KPA that was being pursued did not know which unit it was, but it was assumed that it had no experience in 'fighting' with US tanks, so it suffered a big loss. No, they would run all the way down the road under the pursuit of the tanks, and they could only drill into the nearby forest, and it wasn't like there was nothing left."

"Da tart tart". At this time, the machine gun on the Pershing tank rang out, and the KPA fighters fell in a row screaming and falling. I hurriedly ordered the artillery to open fire, but waited for a while. I only heard a "boom", only one shell exploded a few dozen meters behind the tank, and I turned my head suspiciously to look at the cannons. I saw them adjusting the angle of the cannon again. Only then did I realize that the shot just now was what is often referred to as a test 'fire' in artillery.

If the test 'shot' can hit the target, of course, it is good, and the other guns will not need to be corrected to 'shoot' directly, and if the test 'shot' misses, it will be necessary to adjust the elements according to the impact point, so that the hit rate will be much greater.

"Boom". With a bang, the cannon was fired by the enemy's tank, and more than a dozen KPA fighters were blown up and flew away screaming, and then two more "Pershing" cars turned out at the end of the road. I was secretly anxious that if the machine guns and tank guns on the three "Pershing" tanks were allowed to open fire, the more than 200 KPA troops, including those we had gone to pick up, would all lie down on the road.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, and then only a roar was heard. The dozen or so 'guns' in the rear opened fire one after another, and the guns all hit the section of the road where the enemy tanks were, and in an instant the three tanks were enveloped in artillery fire.

"Good!" The fighters shouted, and some even clasped their fists and cheered at the artillerymen in the rear.

But what stunned the fighters was. The Pershing tanks survived this fire, and there was no damage to their armor. But fortunately, those tanks were also a little abnormal, they neither fired nor ***, and slowly drove forward for a while and finally stopped.

Just when the soldiers and I were confused, the soldiers of the artillery position called the flag, and the soldier next to me who understood the flag language looked at it and said: "The howitzer has no armor ability and cannot blow up the enemy tank." Can only stun enemy tankmen

When I heard this, I understood that the howitzer was used to fight infantry, but I mistakenly used it to fight tanks, and of course it seemed to have some effect. Those tankmen were unprepared for the "clang" of shells in the tank. At this time, I must have been dizzy and couldn't wake up for a while, and if I didn't blow it up now, I shouted to the side: "Huzi, go and blow up those tanks for me!" Run back as soon as you're done with the explosion! You know where to fry, right? ”

"Know! guaranteed to complete the task". Without saying a word, Huzi pulled a dozen fighters and ran towards those tanks with anti-tank grenades.

"Order the artillery," I quickly turned around and ordered: "Aim at the corner of the road and block the infantry behind the tank!" ”

"Yes!" The warrior beside him quickly passed the order out. After a while, I only heard a roar, and these artillery of the Volunteer Army really did not cover it, and it was really accurate, and the shells were fired at the corners of the road. The corner was blocked so tightly that no tanks or enemies dared to break in.

I was thinking that the reason why the volunteers' guns were accurate was because of the lack of bullets, and this artillery was accurate. It is said that in actual combat, if a shell misses, the entire artillery crew will be punished. Therefore, under such a system, the artillery of the Volunteer Army still practiced hard kung fu! After all, the life and blood of logistics fighters are condensed on every shell. Where will it be like the Yankees, as soon as the cannon is fired, it will be 'chaotic'. From this point of view, sometimes it is still good to have less.

Not long after, there were several thuds. Those three Pershing tanks were quickly and completely reimbursed. I quickly ordered the artillerymen to retreat into the tunnel, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the American artillery to go out.

"Boom" for a while, the Yankees are arrogant, the cannon bombs everywhere regardless of the south and the north, compared to the few cannons we just fired is really a bit cold. And we have to hide from the dozen or so 'guns' that we have to shoot like a baby.

When I braved the dirt and gravel raised by the artillery fire and ran into the tunnel, I found that it was much more crowded, and the darkness was crowded with people to turn around. It's all going to be difficult. I knew that the extra ones were the KPA that had just retreated, and I couldn't help but feel a little bit at the bottom of my heart. To be honest, if I want to stop a division of the American army by relying on those wounded soldiers and our team of more than 100 people, I am really a little empty. Now with the addition of this new force, although the number of people is not large, it still makes me feel a lot more steady.

As soon as the cannon stopped, I grabbed my gun and ran to the position, but before I could run a few steps, I was hit by the one behind me. The KPA fighters stopped.

"Comrade, comrade!" He shouted at me in stiff Chinese: "There are too many troops of the American imperialists. There is a division, so you better retreat quickly."

"Do you speak Chinese?" When I heard this, I couldn't help but stop reading and said that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. But the dirty ratio has a maturity that is not commensurate with age. If you look at him holding a gun, he looks like he's ready to shoot at any moment, and he should be a veteran.

"Hmm!" Hearing this, he nodded, stretched out his hand and shook my hand cordially and said, "My name is Cui Zhenyou, I have been a soldier in China for two years, and I have learned some Chinese, but I can't speak it well. ”

"Comrade!" Before I could reply, he looked at me eagerly and said, "There are too many enemies, so you better wait and retreat!" If you don't retreat, you'll be surrounded by them! ”

I glanced at him and replied lightly: "You have been a soldier in China for two years and have learned Chinese, but you have not yet learned the 'spirit' of the *** people!" ”

Cui Zhenyou couldn't help but be stunned, and soon understood: "Your task is to defend Mapingli?" ”

"Yes!" I nodded in response, "Whether to stay or retreat, you can do it yourself!" ”

said that he turned around and was about to leave, but was soon stopped by Cui Zhenyou.

"Comrade, you wait!" Cui Zhenyou gritted his teeth, pointed to the KPA soldier behind him who was sitting on the stone, sweating profusely and panting, and said, "I'll go and discuss with our battalion commander to see if I can,"

"Your battalion commander?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but look at the People's Army with some suspicion, according to me, I know that some officials of the People's Army are wearing riding 'pants' and riding boots, aren't they? But this one,

"Oh!" Cui Zhenyou saw my suspicion and replied a little embarrassedly: "Lieutenant Colonel Quan" is to not attract the attention of the enemy, this is it,"

"Hmm!" I kind of get it when I hear this. I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, let you officers wear horse pants and step on riding boots, let you go majestic! This time on the battlefield, the enemy will know that you are officers. Sniper bullets, tank shells, and so on are all coming at you. This is not? You'll have to change into a military uniform to retreat.

At this time, Park Chung-sun also rushed over and said a lot to the lieutenant colonel. I don't 'interject' on the side, I really listen. All that is said is that this position in Mapingli is very important, there are a lot of supplies, and it is also the rear of a division of the Volunteer Army, if it is lost, it will cause great losses to the Volunteer Army.

"Major Park!" Before Park Chung-sun finished speaking. The lieutenant colonel stood up impatiently and said, "Do you know how many American troops are behind us? One. Teacher! And a lot of tanks, planes, artillery! What about us? Nothing! Even if you add these wounded soldiers of the Chinese. There are only a thousand people! How is it possible to block the attack of the enemy more than a dozen times? One of our regiments of more than 2,000 people has just been broken up by them

"That's you!" I smiled and said to the lieutenant colonel in Korean: "We may not be able to stop those Yankees either, but one thing is certain, if they want to pass, they must step on our corpses!" ”

As he spoke, he ignored the shocked and embarrassed expressions of Lieutenant Colonel Quan and the others, and waved his hand at the soldiers: "All of them, prepare for battle, people are in the position!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers also seemed to understand what the KPA was saying, and they all deserved to be very loud, and even the wounded soldiers walked through the KPA one by one. On the other hand, the soldiers of the People's Army, they immediately stood their heads as if they were half short.

After taking the position, he was surprised to find that the US military still did not move. Perhaps they were taken aback by the fire. So they don't dare to act rashly. After all, there are more than a dozen 'guns' in the volunteer army at least at the division level, so they must be having a headache now: what kind of unit is the front one? Why did another division suddenly come out?

Then, after a while, a reconnaissance plane soon emerged from the clouds, which confirmed my thoughts. So I regretted it: why didn't we let the soldiers dig a few more positions, and come up with a suspicious plan to make the Yankees really think that we have a division. However, it is too late to say anything now, and the US reconnaissance planes will soon discover that we are only guarding three hills, at best a regiment. Then they will soon surround us......

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" I don't know when. Park Chung-sun came to my side and said to me with a 'look' on his face: "Lieutenant Colonel Quan asked me to bring you a message, and he said that he was very 'excited' that you saved the soldiers of the People's Army, but they were given the task of retreating, so

"You go tell him." I looked at the reconnaissance plane that was spinning in the sky, smiled bitterly and said: "If you want to leave, hurry early, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!" ”

"They, they're gone

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when I heard this. The quality of this People's Army is not so bad! We just saved them, and they left without saying a word. But if you think about it, you can understand that they don't have the face to say goodbye to us!

"Comrade!" At this time, Cui Zhenyou's stiff Chinese sounded behind him, and when he looked back, he found that Cui Zhenyou had returned with dozens of soldiers from the People's Army.

I saw him look at me squarely, patted my 'chest' at me, and said, "I asked the lieutenant colonel to cover in the back, and I came up with my own company!" Assign me a task! ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and secretly said that there are still tough guys in this people's army! . If you want to know what's going on, please log in... More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
