"We were deceived, just now, the wooden grenade made by the Chinese army that was thrown around us from above was fake, and it did not explode at all. Our battalion commander, Major Thomas, was killed by snipers from the Chinese army on the top of the mountain, and we must also be more careful not to make fearless sacrifices.

"I'm Captain James, and I'm the Supreme Commander here, and you must follow my orders now. I now order all of you to quickly find nearby bunkers and hide, and not to fight the Chinese troops on the top of the mountain. ”

Among the American soldiers on the hillside, there was a captain named James, who was very vigilant, and he quickly and loudly beckoned the American soldiers who were in the chaos around him to hide nearby, and gave his order in standard American English.

The American soldiers, who were in a panic, gradually regained their calm, and according to the instructions and requirements of the American company commander, Captain James, they all hid in the vicinity behind some dirt pits and large rocks, so as to avoid the fierce fire of the soldiers of the third company and one platoon of the volunteers on the top of the mountain.

Even so, just now, when the US soldiers took advantage of the chaos, the soldiers of the third company and one platoon of the volunteers who were ambushed on the top of the mountain made a rough estimate and killed and rewarded no less than 30 US soldiers, dealing a heavy blow to this group of US soldiers who tried to capture the top of the mountain.

If there is one big blow to this team of American soldiers, it is that Sun Lei shot the head of the top commander of their team, the major battalion commander named Thomas, which led to the situation that this team of American soldiers was leaderless.

However, at this critical moment, in the middle of this US military team, a US captain company commander named James suddenly appeared and stepped forward to replace the battalion commander of Major Thomas, who was shot dead by Sun Lei, and became the supreme commander of the US army team that has now suffered a lot of casualties.

After a chaotic scene of less than a minute just now, under the able command of Captain Hames' company commander, the remaining US soldiers, who were less than 100 people, began to organize an effective counterattack on the spot, which made Liu Sanshun, the commander of the first platoon of the third company of the Chinese Volunteers, feel a headache.

However, the soldiers of the third company and one platoon of the volunteers who were lying in ambush on the top of the hill saw that they were halfway up the hill more than 50 meters below them, and suddenly threw a wooden-handled grenade they were carrying from a place more than 20 meters away next to them, and landed among the American soldiers who were hiding behind large rocks, causing great panic among the American soldiers who valued their lives as very important.

Suddenly, these soldiers were surprised and delighted, because in their entire three companies, there was only one person who could throw a grenade at a distance of more than fifty meters, and that was Sun Mancang, who had just died not long ago.

In the assessment of military projects before crossing the Yalu River and entering the Korean War, the distance of throwing grenades reached 30 meters to be considered qualified, and the soldiers of the Third Company of the Volunteer Army, whether they were veterans or recruits, in the assessment of throwing grenades, no one else except Sun Mancang could reach more than 50 meters.

Therefore, after Sun Mancang died heroically, the soldiers of the third company and one platoon of the volunteers who were ambushed on the top of the mountain, when they attacked the American soldiers on the slope of the mountain 50 meters below them, they could only shoot and did not use grenades to attack.

One of the main reasons is that both Liu Sanshun, who is the platoon commander, and the ordinary soldiers in the platoon think that even if they throw grenades at the US soldiers more than 50 meters away, at most they will throw more than 40 meters away. There was no threat to these American soldiers at all.

The wooden-handled grenades they carried, as well as the American-style grenades previously captured from South Korean soldiers, were no longer of use at this time.

However, when the soldiers of the third company and one platoon of the Volunteer Army witnessed Sun Lei and threw the wooden-handled grenade that had exploded a long time ago into the American soldiers who were more than 50 meters away from them quickly, far and accurately, they suddenly saw a glimmer of life.

In addition, after Sun Lei fired that shot, he shot the battalion commander Major Thomas, the supreme commander of the American army of more than 100 people, revealing his location, and immediately became a direction for the American soldiers who were hiding again.

In an instant, bullets continued to fly over the small pit he was squatting in, and if it was at this time, Sun Lei, even if he showed his head a little bit from the small pit, he would definitely be pierced by these bullets.

In desperation, Sun Lei had no choice but to stay obediently in this small dirt pit and never dare to show his head again. The U.S. soldiers, who were shooting from the halfway point to the small dirt pit at the top of the hill, each carried several American grenades, but none of them used them.

I have to say that in terms of the distance of throwing grenades, not only the soldiers of the volunteer army cannot throw more than 50 meters away, but among these American soldiers who participated in World War II, none of them can meet this standard and requirement, and naturally they don't want the American grenades they carry to be wasted in vain, so they can only shoot to suppress Sun Lei hiding in a small dirt pit.

Liu Sanshun, the platoon commander who stayed on the top of the mountain to direct the operation, felt at this time that just by killing a top commander of the US army, he could only make this US army of more than 100 people fall into chaos for the time being.

After all, if you kill a major battalion commander in this US military team, there will definitely be a captain and company commander who will come out, and if you kill this captain and company commander again, then there will definitely be a lieutenant who will come up to command the operation.

Thinking about this, Liu Sanshun secretly made a bold decision, that is, to completely annihilate this remaining US army of less than 100 people.

Even if they can't annihilate them completely, they must still defeat their living forces, so that they must make a decision while retreating in the face of difficulties, either to die here or choose to disarm and surrender.

And the people who can realize Liu Sanshun's idea, in addition to Sun Lei, look at the third company and one platoon of the Volunteer Army with more than a dozen people left, I am afraid that there will be no second suitable candidate.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Sun Lei is the only best person to realize Liu Sanshun's bold idea, which is beyond the reach of anyone except him.

The reason why the soldiers of the third company and one platoon of the Volunteer Army only knew that Sun Lei threw a grenade at a distance of more than 50 meters after witnessing it with their own eyes was because Sun Lei's "apprenticeship" from Sun Mancang was a private agreement between the two of them, and no one knew about it at the beginning.

Otherwise, the soldiers of the third company and one platoon of the Volunteer Army would have handed over the various grenades they were carrying to Sun Lei and asked him to blow up the more than 100 American soldiers who tried to occupy the top of the mountain.
