Chapter 438: Fighting is not human life, it is morale!
"It's so ruthless, it's so ruthless......"
In the same way, not only Wu Chen on the battlefield was sighing, but Robben, the lieutenant colonel who was commanding the 2nd Regiment of the Royal Canadian Infantry to carry out the attack, was also gritting his teeth and shouting.
Not far behind him, nearly twenty Canadian soldiers with severed hands and legs were wailing in pain, for which the medics of the entire 2nd Regiment were already busy.
However, what worries Robben more than others is that the front-line soldiers used for the offensive are gradually becoming overstretched, and there is no way, in order to get the seriously wounded but never dead Canadian soldiers out of the battlefield quickly so that they can be treated in time, it often takes two to four intact soldiers to carry the wounded down safely.
One or two are fine, but if there are one or twenty such seriously wounded at the same time, half a company's strength will be devoted to the treatment of wounded soldiers, and even if the attacking Canadian company has a higher heart than the sky, it will not be able to continue the attack with the force instantly reduced by half, and can only be in a dilemma halfway up the mountainside, constantly using radio to call Lieutenant Colonel Robben for help over and over again.
Listening to the hoarse shouts on the radio on the side, and looking at the seriously wounded who kept coming down, Lieutenant Colonel Robben was almost crazy, he was also a veteran of World War II, he could be regarded as a battle-hardened, but none of the battles made him so dazed as he is now.
In total, the losses of the company in charge of the attack were not large, and twenty-one wounded were sent down from front to back, only two died because of bullets in the chest and abdomen, and the rest would not be in danger of life as long as they were properly treated.
However, in the face of such a low mortality rate, Lieutenant Colonel Robben was never happy, so much so that at one moment he even wanted to let all the wounded die.
There is no way that the tragedy of broken hands and feet, the wailing and desperate words of grief like human voices, are more powerful than any guns and ammunition, after all, those guns and ammunition want human lives, and the small toy-like mines used by the Chinese hit morale and people's hearts, otherwise he would not have made such a feeling with hatred!
"Doodoo~~~~"
Just when Robben was in a dilemma for the current situation, a loud horn suddenly sounded on the main position of Zhongzi Mountain, and at the same time, a burst of shouts and killings sounded from above, and along with this shouting and killing, there was also a rapid charge of the Chinese army......
"Sir, Chinese have begun to counterattack, and we can't hold out any longer...... Ah~~~boom~~~"
In the radio intercom, the Canadian company commander who was sticking to the halfway up the mountain had just finished speaking, when he was blown up by a bang, and at the same time, he woke up Lieutenant Colonel Robben, who was stunned at the foot of the mountain.
Although he couldn't understand why so many Chinese soldiers would survive after experiencing such heavy artillery fire before, he knew that if he didn't make a decision, the company commander who was screaming on the radio just now would be his fate, so he didn't think about it and ordered the intercom: "Retreat, immediately retreat five kilometers." ”
As soon as the voice fell, he immediately adjusted the communication frequency and shouted loudly again: "Is it an artillery group?" I need support...... The specific parameters are......"
Lieutenant Colonel Robben had just picked up the special parameter map for artillery from the ammunition box on the side, looked for relevant parameter information, and was about to indicate the target to the artillery in the rear, when the sensitive nerves tempered by years of battlefield experience suddenly tensed, and he could no longer care about the US artillery commander who was constantly urging a reply in the intercom, and was ready to burrow under the table.
It was too late, and at the moment of Robben's action, an 80mm recoilless shell overbearingly tore open the canvas tent of the command post, and directly turned into the period, only to hear a "boom~~" explosion, and the entire command headquarters collapsed completely in the aftermath of the scattered explosion.
Lieutenant Colonel Robben only felt a piercing pain coming from his back, so his eyes darkened, and he said sneeringly: "I really shouldn't rush to take the lead!" And he fell to the ground forever with the collapsed tent......
And as the command post of the 2nd Regiment of the Royal Canadian Infantry was knocked out by the Chinese army, and the commander Lieutenant Colonel Robben was killed, the Canadian troops responsible for attacking Neutron Hill were no longer in high spirits.
Wu Chen was willing to let go of such an opportunity to beat the water dogs, threw the 80mm recoilless gun in his hand to the gunner next to him, picked up the Type 50 automatic rifle, and waved at the three rows of soldiers: "Comrades, rush with me~~"
"Rush~~"
"Kill~~"
As the shouts of the three platoons of soldiers sounded again, the retreating Canadian soldiers were like frightened birds, speeding at a speed of 100 meters, while constantly throwing unsightly guns and ammunition everywhere.
Wu Chen led three rows of soldiers to stop after only a few hundred meters of pursuit, and then divided a part of the soldiers to collect the guns and ammunition abandoned by the Canadian army, and carried the remaining soldiers himself, quickly scattered the butterfly thunder in the cloth bag into the bushes at the foot of the mountain, and led the troops to quickly return to the position when everything was done.
At this moment, several planes of the US army roared down, and then several napalm bombs fell in response, and the flames that rushed to the sky raged, and the few soldiers who fell behind were engulfed in the scorching fire before they had time to enter the bunker, Wu Chen only heard a few screams that cracked his lungs, and he never saw a person enter the bunker again, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and slammed the rough side wall of the bunker a few times, and regretted: "It's still a step too late!" ”
In fact, this counterattack is not to simply repel the enemy, but to cover the evacuation of Fang Liang and other sappers at the same time, and arrange the butterfly mine minefield in front, after all, the kind of ground ash on the mine is more suitable for the bushes with lush vegetation, because the color of the ground and tree trunks there can be well integrated with the camouflage color of the butterfly mine, so as to exert greater combat effectiveness.
But the problem is that the front of the Neutron Hill position has long been scorched by enemy artillery fire, let alone any bushes, even a single intact dead branch is difficult to find.
The reason why the previous butterfly mine was able to achieve such good results was mainly because it caught the enemy off guard, but now that the enemy has noticed the existence of the butterfly mine, he will inevitably use demining engineers to clear it, just like the broadsword mine that achieved a lot of results in the early days of the dynasty.
After the enemy paid attention to it, they strengthened the efforts of the engineers to clear the mines, so from the beginning of the fourth campaign, the combat effectiveness of the broadsword mines was greatly reduced, and now the enemy has suffered a big loss on the butterfly mines, so it is natural to find a way to eliminate them, so the forward positions that are not conducive to concealment are no longer suitable for deployment, but the bushes under the mountain have become ideal places for arrangement.
It is precisely because of this that Wu Chen will see the time accurately, launch a counterattack, and take advantage of the collapse of Canada to immediately organize people to scatter all the butterfly mines on the dense bushes, forming a forward minefield with a length of 600 meters and a depth of 30 meters, so as to completely shield the main position on the top of the mountain.
Originally, Wu Chen was complacent about his wit and decisiveness, but he didn't expect that the US combat planes would come so quickly, and several old brothers who had survived hundreds of battles were burned alive like this, which made Wu Chen forget about his previous self-deedness.
pinched the butterfly mine left by the beam of the house before evacuation, and his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Brothers, let's go, I, Wuchen, let those foreign devils pay for their blood debts!" ”
