Chapter 336: Hope
The front of the position was covered with mines of the US army, which were not the trick mines used by the independent division before, and they were tied with a few grenades. The US military's mines are real mines, and there are loose mines that explode when you raise your legs and pressure mines that explode when you step on them, and these two kinds of mines can not only kill and injure the enemy, but can also play a role in delaying the enemy's military operations.
"Flares, flares·····" Several commanders shouted.
For a while, flares rose into the air from all directions, illuminating the Butterfly Valley in a bright light.
Chen Fei looked at the devil in front of him, regardless of the casualties, and thought to himself, it should be the final decisive battle.
"Hit!" The old steamed bun position took the lead in firing, and Chen Fei quickly ran to the north position, only to see that after the devil was blown down by a mine, he was pushing the log forward, and the mines were detonated one after another.
"Damn, Wang Liang, tell the chief of staff to bring a few mortars." Chen Fei shouted.
"Yes." Wang Liang shouted back and jumped out of the trench.
"Without mortars, he can't attack the little devil, we have so many automatic weapons and bullets open to fight, when have we fought like this, hehe, the little devil also has this day." The old steamed bun monster laughed.
"You can't be careless, after all, there are too few of us, and if we are not careful, it will make the devil turn around, and it will be troublesome." Chen Fei said as he shot.
"Don't worry, I'm okay here." The old steamed bun also shouted while shooting.
"Hmm." Chen Fei squatted down and replied while changing the magazine, and suddenly he saw Shang Lirang lying in the trench not far away and shooting at the devil.
Shang Li used an M1 carbine, and she looked very skilled.
"Shang Li, so you also participated in the battle?" Chen Fei asked.
"All 271 of our intelligence officers are in the trenches, and although we are an intelligence unit, the intelligence officers who have been trained on the battlefield are more capable, aren't they?" The old steamed bun replied.
"Then you don't have to let her come up, really, Shang Li, Shang Li, come here, come here······" Chen Fei shouted.
Shang Li lowered her head and ran over and said, "Commander! ”
"Well, you go and watch the radio station, in case something gets in trouble." Chen Fei said.
"Division commander, the radio station of our intelligence department has nothing to do these days, and I can't say that I can go to the radio station alone, and it is also my wish to kill a few little devils with my own hands." Shang Li said.
Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Okay, you haven't been on the battlefield again, hurry back, you are the treasure of our independent division, let's go." ”
Shang Li looked at the old steamed bun, and the old steamed bun immediately said, "Go back quickly, don't let the division commander worry." ”
Shang Li nodded, and returned to the intelligence office to prevent the artillery hole.
Chen Fei shouted as he shot: "If there is any difficulty, come and report it immediately, I will go to Lao Zhangtou over there, and the chief of staff will bring a mortar and bombard me fiercely." ”
"Got it." The old steamed bun replied.
Chen Fei hit a magazine, bowed his head and exited the trench, and ran to Lao Zhangtou's position.
Sure enough, as Chen Fei expected, this is the main direction of the devil's attack, and Lao Zhangtou is in a hurry again.
Lao Zhangtou has the largest number of people here, but the combat effectiveness is the worst, the submachine gun shoots desperately without a range, the light and heavy machine guns still fight like grandma, and the bullets don't know where to fly, but fortunately, the soldiers are still calm, and the shooting has not stopped.
"Division commander, you're here, the devil's attack is too fierce." As soon as Lao Zhangtou saw Chen Fei jumping into the trench, he immediately came over and said.
"Well, tell the brothers to hold steady, it's okay, no matter how many devils there are, our firepower is so intensive, it's difficult for them to rush up." Chen Fei said.
Lao Zhangtou nodded, and Yang Sanfu took over a heavy machine gun and was loading the chain.
"Flatbread, go to the U.S. military to have a look, ask Sanmao can you talk to Lao Mai about supporting a few mortars?" Chen Fei said.
"Yes." Flatbread replied.
Chen Fei looked at the devil who was wriggling like maggots in front of the position, and said to the old man next to him: "Where is your grenadier?" ”
"There aren't many grenades left, and I want to use them when it lasts." Old Zhang Tou said.
"Use it, if you can kill and injure one more devil now, you can make the devil one less person, the devil comes from afar, and there are no supplements." Chen Fei said.
"Okay, let's arrange it right away." Lao Zhangtou replied.
"Flares, flares, a few more shots, so that the grenadier can see the target." Chen Fei said loudly at the back of Lao Zhangtou.
"Got it." The old head will not be authentic.
Chen Fei squatted down, reloaded the rifle, and also checked the submachine gun on his back.
The devil approached little by little, the log destroyed the mines buried in the mud, the mines exploded one by one, and the mines were solved. ,
After a while, grenades rained down on the enemy group, and the explosions were louder and louder, even overpowering the gunfire.
The little devil is also hard, unmoved, or slowly advancing.
Chen Fei was just about to shoot with a gun, when Sanmao jumped in, "Division commander!" Sanmao shouted.
"Why are you here?" Chen Fei immediately said.
"I brought four mortars, I was setting up a firing position, and I was going to shell it immediately, and I brought a platoon and three American Browning heavy machine guns." Sanmao Road.
"Oh, the U.S. position, what's the situation?" Chen Fei said.
"There's no pressure, and there are eight mortars, so the devil can't get closer to 150 meters." Sanmao Road.
Chen Fei smiled and said: "With mortars, the U.S. military has fought this battle with great success. ”
"Who said no, but the Americans are very skilled in the use of mortars, it seems that there are two guns here, two guns there, and the firepower is not weak at all." Sanmao Road.
"Really? It was the fucking night that I was scared of the devil's sneak attack, so I scattered and arranged, okay, just hold it. Chen Fei scolded with a smile.
If the grenadier grenade devil can still withstand it, then the mortar shell, the devil can't withstand it, and another bloody scene is staged.
The U.S. military's M2 Browning heavy machine gun is much more powerful than the British Vic heavy machine gun that the old Zhang Tou is using now.
Although there is nothing wrong with the Vic heavy machine gun, the performance is too good, but the bullet caliber and rate of fire cannot be compared with the M2.
Three M2 heavy machine guns fired at each other at the same time, hitting the devils who were lying still and dodging the shells one by one.
"It's so powerful, it can pierce through such thick wood." Zhang Yongsheng gestured in surprise.
"The equipment of the U.S. army is really good, the devil has no artillery support, these three heavy machine guns can make it difficult for the devil to move an inch." Lee North and South Road.
Suddenly, a rocket flew out of the position and rushed towards the devil, "Boom! "The explosion was powerful.
"Curved shots, direct shots, see how your devils attack." Zhang Yongsheng scoffed.
"Don't fucking bullshit, give me a hard beating!" Chen Fei shouted loudly.
This night, in addition to fierce battles, it was still fierce battles, and the sound of guns and cannons resounded throughout the night sky. The devil is red-eyed, and it is estimated that he did not achieve his goal, and it is a dead word to go back.
Chen Fei and others and Merrell's U.S. troops were also desperately defending, the guns were broken and replaced, the artillery was hot and watered, and the powerful firepower hit the devil without thinking about it.
The defensive positions in Butterfly Valley were full of corpses of devils, and as soon as the morning dawned, US bombers and fighters flew over again, and this time the devils did not retreat but advanced, and began the final attack.
"Hidden! Take cover! The plane is about to drop bombs, hide quickly! Several company platoon commanders ran and shouted in the trenches.
The fighters retreated into their trenches.
"Boom, boom!" The dive bombers began to drop bombs, and in a few moments, drowning the charging devils in the explosion.
Chen Fei and the others felt the power of the bomb explosion at close range, as if the earth was trembling, and the huge explosion sound could make people's ears buzz.
"I don't believe that the little devil can survive such an explosion!" Zhang Yongsheng shouted at the top of his voice.
Chen Fei and the others were all hit by heavy artillery, and everyone felt that the bomb was still powerful, and it could make people feel like their hearts were about to beat out from such a distance.
At the end of the ten minutes of explosion, the fighters leaned out and looked ahead.
The smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, and the devil who was shouting and charging has disappeared.
Chen Fei held the binoculars and looked at it, even the corpses on the ground were much less, it was estimated that they had been mixed with the soil, and there were stumps and broken arms around the huge craters, but there were still a few devils lying on the ground and groaning.
"Flatbread, notify all troops, send people to clean up the battlefield, don't live." Chen Fei said.
"Yes." Flatbread replied.
This battle made the soldiers present know that although the little devil is fierce, no matter how powerful he is, he is also fleshy, and in the face of powerful weapons, people are ants and cannot resist at all.
"Bang bang bang ~" The sound of the devil's shot came from a distance, no matter whether it was alive or dead, as long as there was a humanoid one, it had to be shot.
"Division commander, so many corpses, burn them." He Wenbin came over and said.
"Okay." Chen Fei replied.
The battle was finally over, Chen Fei sat in the trench, took out a cigarette and lit it, this time the defensive front was very successful, Chen Fei's troops wiped out more than 2,000 devils at a very small price, although it was inseparable from the brave resistance of the soldiers, but in the final analysis, the weapons of the US army were too powerful.
The little devil can be regarded as a light enemy, in the absence of heavy weapons, relying on flesh and blood to encircle and annihilate Chen Fei, it was okay before, but now it is almost impossible.
"Oh, General Chen congratulates us on the success of our cooperation, I have reported to the Allied Command, and the headquarters will reward us soon, haha······" Merrell came over and smiled happily.
Chen Fei also smiled and said: "Yes, I have to celebrate, but not now, before the 38th Division arrives, we have to be vigilant." ”
"Oh God, general, you are too serious, the little devil has been completely wiped out, and the reinforcements will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and there will be no more hostile situations." Merrell Road.
"Hopefully." Chen Fei replied.
"General, my friends at the headquarters will give me an airdrop of whiskey in the afternoon, General, I hope we can drink together." Merrell Road.
"Okay, no problem, I haven't drunk wine for a long time, and I don't know the taste of wine, so thank you in advance." Chen Fei replied.
"OK, see you in the evening." Merrell was very gentlemanly and left.
"Commander, this old man is very cute." Chen Fang said.
"Well, it looks optimistic, yes, it's kind of American enthusiasm." Chen Fei said.
"Division commander, a regiment of the advance force of the 38th Division will arrive tomorrow." Liu Xiaomei came over and said.
"Well, great, call back and tell the command about the situation here." Chen Fei said.
"Yes." Liu Xiaomei replied.
In the evening, only Chen Fei and Merrell celebrated the victory, and there was only one night left, Chen Fei was not at ease, and did not let everyone celebrate together, but he was still on guard and ready for battle.
"General Chen, the devil is dead, why can't everyone celebrate?" Merrell asked.
"Lao Mai, if you want to celebrate, wait for the day after tomorrow, tonight is the last night, before the 38th Division striker arrives, you still can't relax, the roundabout sneak attack is the devil's forte, it's better to be careful, come, cheers, it's a celebration in advance." Chen Fei said with a smile.
"Oh God, you're too careful, General, but I'll listen to you, come, do it!" Merrell replied.
The two drank and chatted, and the two became friends after a life-and-death battle.
Chen Fei also has a certain understanding of Americans, and Merrill also has an understanding of Chinese.
"Report!" Liu Xiaomei came in and said.
"Well, what's the matter at this late hour?" Chen Fei said.
"The Chongqing Military Commission sent a congratulatory telegram and awarded you the Medal of Merit for the Light of the Two Kingdoms." Liu Xiaomei said.
"yes, got it." Chen Fei replied calmly.
"Oh God, General, you don't seem to have much interest in medals, shouldn't a soldier be honored for them?" Merrell wondered.
"I'm very happy, it's just that my brothers fought hard for this medal, and there is nothing to show off." Chen Fei said.
"Oh, that's also the result of your good command, I have already sent the Allied Command a written text of the battle we have been holding on to Butterfly Valley for the past few days, and the headquarters will definitely reward you." Merrell Road.
"Hehe, Lao Mai, the more awards, the greater the pressure on the troops, my independent division is too hard, and it needs to be repaired well." Chen Fei said with a wry smile.
Merrell was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "We are about to carry out a counteroffensive, the burden on the general's shoulders is not light, looking at your expeditionary force, it should be China's elite troops, I think that only the general's troops can truly be called elite divisions." ”
"Lao Mai, the soldiers and commanders we went to Burma and India are the best, but you haven't been in contact with them, and when you have time, you can touch them one by one, and it will definitely make you change your mind." Chen Fei said with a smile.
Merrill thought about it, nodded, Chen Fei looked at his watch and said, "It's not too early, I won't drink this wine, let's come to Japan for a long time,"
"No, not the last cup to congratulate the general." Merrill said as he raised his glass.
"Okay, this wine is good, sweet, to my taste, dry!" Chen Fei replied, immediately picked up the wine glass and touched it with Merrell, and drank it all.
Early in the morning, Chen Fei woke up from his sleep, and there was a commotion outside, "Wang Liang, Wang Liang ······" Chen Fei shouted.
"Commander, wake up, I'll fetch you water." Wang Liang came in and said.
"Why is it so noisy outside?" Chen Fei said.
"Oh, the advance regiment of the 38th Division has arrived, just arrived, their regiment commander is waiting outside for the mud, I told them to wait." Wang Liang said.
"So fast, didn't you mean afternoon?" Chen Fei said.
"I heard that Chief Chen Cheng kept urging them to march, and they didn't stop all the time, which was very hard." Wang Liang said.
"Okay, I'll get dressed and call their head over." Chen Fei said.
"Yes." Wang Liang replied.
Chen Fei got up, quickly got dressed, and after a while, he saw a lieutenant colonel with a beard and a dusty look come in.
"General, the commander of the advance regiment of the 38th Division reports to the commander." Li Tuan said in a loud voice, and immediately saluted after speaking.
Chen Fei returned the salute and immediately said, "Sit!" Chen Fei said as he took out a cigarette and handed it to Head Li.
"Thank you, is your mission to stay there or to keep going?" Chen Fei said.
"Sir, we are here to support you, and our original mission was to advance along the route opened up by your independent division all the way to the Hukang River valley area." Head Li said.
"Oh, then, the troops will repair for two days on this day, and wait for me to report the situation to Chief Chen Cheng, and then decide, my defensive position here will be handed over to you in the next few days." Chen Fei said.
"Yes." Head Li replied.
"Okay, you are also tired, I have a lot of vacant barracks here, so I will ask the chief of staff to arrange for you, Wang Liang, and ask the chief of staff to take Commander Li to arrange the residence of the brothers of the advance regiment." Chen Fei said.
"Yes, Captain Li, please!" Wang Liang said immediately.
Head Li saluted Chen Fei, then turned around and followed Wang Liang away.
