In several tents next to Sun Lei, there were several soldiers of their sharp knife company who were urgently shut down, and they are still in a state of unconsciousness.

They suffered severe physical injuries during a pursuit mission, and it took about a day for them to be taken to the field hospital, which was thirty miles north of the front line.

Sun Lei, who was seriously wounded, fell when the US troops on the north and south sides of the road east of Songgu Peak launched the third charge, and after repelling the third charge of the US troops with more than one battalion, he was carried out by the stretcher team that went to the position to treat the wounded.

Determined to escape from the encirclement of the Volunteers as soon as possible, the American army on the north side of the road east of Songgu Peak quickly organized a large number of troops to launch a fourth charge shortly after the third charge failed.

The snow and ice covered by the previous few days have basically melted, and there are still a lot of dead grass and scattered trees growing on the position of Songgu Peak.

Therefore, before launching the fourth charge, the U.S. troops threw a lot of incendiary bombs at the forward position of Songgu Peak, and soon a raging fire burned on the position.

Suddenly, on the front line of the entire Songgu Peak, as the fire became bigger and bigger, the piles of corpses emitted a pungent stench in the process of burning, making people feel sad and angry, but helpless.

Fortunately, the stretcher team responsible for treating the wounded, after repelling the third charge of the American army, immediately rushed to the front of the position of Songgu Peak to search for the wounded and sick who were still alive, and carried Sun Lei, who was dying at the time, out.

If the comrades of the stretcher team had gone two or three minutes late, several seriously wounded soldiers of the Third Company of the Sharp Knife Company, including Sun Lei, as well as other wounded and sick of the First Company and the Second Company who had fought together, would have been buried in this huge sea of fire because of the fire deliberately set by the US military.

Taking advantage of the fact that the fire was burning at its peak on the forward position of Songgu Peak, the American army on the north side of the road that was trying to flee south immediately launched a fourth charge towards the Songgu Peak position.

After a hand-to-hand battle with the third charge of the U.S. army, the soldiers in the platoon at the forefront of the Songgu Peak position, except for the dead and the seriously wounded who were carried away by the stretcher team, there were less than ten people left.

Among them, including Zhang Dake, the squad leader of a platoon of sharp knife squads, as well as two soldiers of the sharp knife squad led by him, four soldiers of the assault squad led by Sun Lei, and a soldier of the Red Flag squad, stayed in their original position and continued to fight.

Because before the company commander and instructor gave the order to retreat, Zhang Dake, as the squad leader, would never retreat half a step, he had to lead the remaining seven soldiers who were still alive to hold on to this cutting-edge position in their platoon, and he would definitely not be able to take half a step back.

Fortunately, because the position in charge of Zhang Dake's platoon was too close to the road, and the nearest place was only twenty or thirty meters, they were lucky enough to escape from this sea of fire deliberately created by the US military.

Less than twenty meters away from them, it was burning continuously, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, although they were still twenty or thirty meters away, they could still feel a great sense of heat.

At the same time, after the thousands of giant corpses lying on the front position of Songgu Peak were burned, the strong and pungent smell emitted also made the eight soldiers in a platoon, including Zhang Dake, keep coughing and sneezing again.

Following this fire, the soldiers of the fourth charge of the American army quickly rushed to the position at the forefront of the Songgu Peak that they were holding, less than thirty meters away from them.

When he discovered that the team of the US troops launched the fourth charge was trotting all the way and was about to come to them, Zhang Dake, who was covering his nose, coughed several times, and then ordered loudly to a machine gunner next to him: "Ahem, ahem, these undead American devils are rushing over again." Ahem, hea, heavy, give me a shot! ”

At this time, after repelling the first three charges of the American troops, the last machine gun they had left was no longer able to shoot because the barrel was bent.

What's more, they have less than 100 machine gun bullets left, even if this machine gun can be used normally, it is estimated that it will not be able to hit in a minute, and this 100 machine gun bullets will be gone.

After discovering that the machine gun could not be used, the machine gunner hurriedly inserted an American rifle with a bayonet on the corpse of a dead comrade not far away.

Without saying a word, he quickly pounced, and with a fierce tug from the corpse of his comrade-in-arms, he took the bayonet-mounted American rifle in his hand.

Originally, this volunteer soldier who was a platoon of machine gunners had already had a hole in his thigh that had been pierced by a bullet, so he took out a bullet and plugged the wound in his leg to stop the bleeding.

After getting the bayonet-mounted American rifle, the machine gunner pounced on the American soldier who was about to rush to the front of the platoon, and fought the bayonet with the American soldier in front of him.

At this time, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies who had just retreated from the battlefield on the front of Songgu Peak to rest and recuperate, saw the US troops on the opposite road charging again, so they immediately rushed through the fire at the front of the position, and continued to use hand-to-hand combat to stop this charge launched by the US troops.

Zhang Dake, who was hiding behind a small hill about 20 meters away from the road, saw that the machine gunners just now had rushed out without warning, and then found that the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies had also rushed up.

He was still rushing or not rushing and swaying from side to side just now, so he immediately took the blood-dripping blade in his hand and rushed forward with the other six soldiers in a platoon, and continued to fight with the American soldiers who launched the fourth charge.

Seeing more than 100 Chinese soldiers rushing down from the opposite position, led by a Chinese soldier with a large blade stained with blood, the American soldier who had just overturned the machine gunner in the platoon to the ground, quickly threw the machine gunner aside, scattered his legs and ran back.

Zhang Dake, who was in front of him, insisted on carrying the same machine gunner whose leg was pierced, because in his opinion, there were enough people in their platoon who had sacrificed their lives, and it was not easy to survive one, so it was still necessary to minimize casualties.

Otherwise, in less than a day, the eight people left in their platoon to hold their positions are estimated to have died here one after another.

The machine gunner looked up at the American soldiers who had stopped charging on the side of the road, and then urged Zhang Dake: "Squad Leader Zhang, you go and command, the enemy is going to fire again!" If you stay here, you and I will die, you hurry up and take the remaining comrades and hide behind the mountain bag, you will be a burden with me. ”

As if he hadn't heard the heavy's kind reminder, Zhang Dake threw away the large blade he was holding, lifted up the machine gunner who had fallen to the ground with both hands, and carried the machine gunner on his back.

Zhang Dake retreated less than five steps back with the machine gunner on his back, and on the American position not far behind him, there was immediately a rumbling of artillery......
