Chapter Seventy-Two: Stuck in a Stalemate

"Comrades, don't shoot without my order, everyone must listen carefully to the gunfire coming from the opposite hillside, and when these American devils who climb up from below are closer to us, we will not be too late to fight."

Liu Sanshun, the commander of the first platoon of the third company of the Volunteer Army, who was in charge of commanding the operation on the hillside on the north side of the highway, saw that the soldiers lying on the left and right sides with him showed a look of eagerness to try, so he lowered his voice and said in a commanding tone.

In the battle they participated in, the opponents they saw were all vulnerable South Korean soldiers, and this time, when they found out that their opponents were American soldiers, they might not be as easy to deal with as South Korean soldiers, but when they met a strong opponent, the soldiers still had a more or less excitement in their hearts.

As the platoon commander, Liu Sanshun saw the clue, and he immediately suppressed the soldiers' overly excited emotions, and he must let the soldiers maintain a stable heart in order to be able to play their normal level in the next battle.

Once the mood of the fighters fluctuates, then, in the next battle, there is a very big possibility of abnormal performance, and now there are only about 20 fighters in their platoon, Liu Sanshun, as the platoon commander, is naturally careless and must be prepared.

What's more, when Liu Sanshun received the latest combat mission from the company commander and the instructor half an hour ago, he demanded that all the people in the platoon guarding the hillside on the north side of the highway must use the gunfire on the hillside on the south side of the highway as a sign before they can shoot their guns.

No matter what aspect it is, Liu Sanshun wants to reiterate to the platoon of soldiers he leads before this battle to clarify the tactical discipline of the third company of their volunteers.

Just now, these 20 or so soldiers in a platoon were all excited and geared up to see that they could fight a good battle with the invincible American soldiers on the Korean battlefield.

However, after hearing what the platoon commander Liu Sanshun said, the excitement of these soldiers eased a little, anyway, they had long put their own life and death on the line, and held on to the hillside they were guarding with the feeling of seeing death as home.

The more than 100 American soldiers who climbed up from the bottom of the hill had a complete company, and under the leadership of the stubborn American major battalion commander Thomas, in less than two minutes, they had climbed to a place about 50 meters from the top of the mountain.

Correspondingly, the captain and company commander of the US Army named Jackson also led more than 100 US soldiers to climb to a place about 50 meters away from the top of the hill on the south side.

"Bang!"

Zhao Yifa, commander of the third company of the Chinese People's Volunteers, who was in charge of directing the operation on the top of the hillside on the south side of the highway, immediately fired a shot at the group of US soldiers below the mountain with the box gun he was holding that had been captured from the South Korean soldiers.

After firing this shot, Zhao Yifa, as the company commander, shouted loudly to the soldiers lying on his left and right sides: "Comrades, give me a hard shot of these American foreign devils who don't know whether they are alive or dead." ”

"Bang ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

With the order of the company commander Zhao Yifa, the soldiers, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, took the guns in their hands and fired fiercely at the more than 100 American soldiers about 50 meters down the hillside on the south side.

Although the 3rd Company had previously captured a large amount of weapons and equipment from South Korean troops, because they were on some mountain trails, it was not convenient to carry heavy weapons and equipment, such as heavy machine guns and mortars, all of which were sent to the regiment headquarters.

Therefore, the weapons and equipment of their third company are mainly based on various guns, such as rifles, box guns and light machine guns, plus some hand grenades. In addition to this, there is also the large blade that each of their warriors carries on their backs, which can only be used in hand-to-hand combat.

Liu Sanshun, the commander of the third company and the first platoon, who was responsible for directing the operation on the top of the hillside on the north side of the highway, immediately heard the sound of the shot fired by Zhao Yifa, the commander of the third company, with the box cannon in his hand, he also shouted at the soldiers lying on the left and right sides of the snow: "Comrades, give me a hard beating, so that they will find their teeth all over the ground, so that these more than 100 American foreign devils will not come and go." ”

As soon as the platoon commander Liu Sanshun's words fell, the soldiers, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, took the various different types of guns assigned to them and opened fire on the more than 100 American soldiers who had climbed to the top of the hill where they were only about 50 meters away.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang ......"

For a time, the gunfire was so loud that the American soldiers who were climbing the slopes on both sides of the highway fell into a rain of bullets, and they were powerless to resist.

Unexpectedly, the American soldiers of these two companies guarded by the volunteers on the hillsides on both sides of the highway were stunned in the face of the sudden fierce attack.

Whether on the north slope or on the south slope, the top row of American soldiers was hit by oncoming bullets and fell to the snow one after another in the blink of an eyelid.

In less than half a minute, the US soldiers who had blocked the bullets in front of them lay in a pool of blood one by one, and died in such a vague and unexplained situation in an unguarded situation.

The American soldiers who stayed behind were stunned for less than ten seconds, and they lay down on the hillside and quickly organized a counterattack.

You must know that these US soldiers, in terms of their ability to fight individually, at that time, must have been above the volunteer soldiers, not to mention, the weapons and equipment equipped by each of their US soldiers were also quite good, and they quickly organized an effective attack.

Even the soldiers of the 3rd Company of the Volunteer Army, who occupied the advantage on the top of the mountain, had a condescending strategic geographical advantage, and fired fiercely at the American soldiers who were staying halfway up the mountain, and at first killed more than 20 American soldiers who were closer to the top of the mountain.

The American soldiers who were far away from the top of the mountain hurriedly found some large rocks on the mountainside, which became their natural shelter, greatly reducing the mortality rate of the division.

When the battle started for less than ten minutes, it fell into a stalemate, and the American soldiers hiding behind the big rocks on the mountainside, in the process of organizing an effective counterattack, the volunteer soldiers guarding the top of the mountain also began to suffer certain casualties.

Sun Lei, who had always stayed on the side of the hilltop near the slope, in a pit half a meter high and one meter square, did not even fire a shot after the battle started for more than ten minutes, and waited for the order of the platoon commander Liu Sanshun.

Otherwise, if he takes the initiative to shoot a shot, it will reveal his hiding place, which is absolutely fatal for a sniper on the battlefield.
