In less than ten minutes, Sun Lei led the 20 volunteer soldiers selected from the first platoon of the 3rd Company of the Sharp Knife Company, and operated a line on the hillside to open the muzzles of the guns towards the north side of the hillside, firing a total of 70 shells.

In addition, seven waves of 10 shells were fired in succession, killing a total of more than 100 US soldiers and wounding nearly 200 US troops, so to speak, dealing a heavy blow to the US troops who had charged to a distance of about 100 meters on the north side of the hillside.

As the supreme commander of this US military unit that abandoned the military fortress in Xiajieyuli and could not escape here, Colonel Madeep, the commander of the US Army, never dreamed that he would be so embarrassed after fighting all his life and leading troops to fight for more than ten years.

What he didn't expect even more was that on the hillside 100 meters south of where they were, a small force of less than 200 Chinese volunteers had so many mortars, and they fired seven waves of shells in one face, killing and wounding more than 300 American soldiers.

To say that he is also a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years, in his opinion at this time, as long as they can approach the hillside more than 100 meters away on the south side as soon as possible, it is to narrow the scope of the shelling.

According to his own calculations, the light mortars used by this small unit of Chinese volunteers on the hillside ranged between 200 and 50 meters, and if they could get within 50 meters of the range of the mortar, it was estimated that the mortars would be useless.

After thinking of this, Colonel Madeep, the commander of the US Army, immediately shouted at the US soldiers who were already in chaos around him: "Children, the small mortars used by the Chinese army on the opposite hillside, as long as we approach them, once we enter a distance of 50 meters, the mortars will be effective, and they will not be able to shell us."

"Let's not stay here, kids, if you want to come back to America alive with me, follow me and rush forward to the bottom of the southern hillside, where it should be safest."

To say that at this time of life and death, the commander of the US Army, Colonel Madeep, was not a cowardly person, and as the supreme commander of this US military unit, he was the first to rush towards the hillside more than 100 meters away on the south side after he finished speaking.

The American soldiers who were in a mess around him just now and didn't know what to do, saw their regimental commander, Colonel Madeep, rushing forward regardless of life and death, and they felt that they had nothing to fear, and they all responded to the call of the commander of the American regiment, Colonel Madeep, and followed him to continue to charge towards the hillside more than 100 meters away on the south side.

As mentioned earlier, due to a heavy snowstorm in this place many days ago, coupled with bad weather that lasted for many days at minus ten or even thirty degrees, the snow covering the ground showed no signs of melting at all.

As a result, it can be a bit difficult to walk on top of the thick snow, not to mention running on top of the soft snow, not to mention the fact that some of the snow and ice have merged together and become very slippery.

Also, at this time, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, the temperature had reached more than 30 degrees below zero, and the remaining 500 American soldiers, under the leadership of the commander of the American regiment, Colonel Madeep, advanced about 20 meters forward.

However, the result was that it was only a short distance of 20 meters, but all of them were turned on their backs, some slipped and fell to the ground, and some were struggling, and this time the charge became very slow.

In addition, these American soldiers have a very strong desire to survive, and when they charge forward, they are all scrambling to be the first, and many of them have been pieced together from various companies before, and they are very unfamiliar with each other's relationship, and it is inevitable that there will be pushing and shoving, which is also a headache for the commander of the American Army, Colonel Madeep.

Sun Lei, who was standing on the hillside with binoculars, saw that the remaining American soldiers were still running desperately towards the hillside where they were, and immediately ordered the gunners operating the ten mortars to load the shells and continue to fire.

"Boom Boom ......"

Ten shells were fired from the muzzle of the cannon almost at the same time, and with just a blink of an eyelid, these ten shells fell one after another eighty or ninety meters away from the hillside.

After the 10 shells fell, there was an explosion of "boom, boom, boom," followed by the screams of dozens of US soldiers who were injured by the shells, and at the same time, more than 20 US soldiers were blown into the sky by the shells......

On this side, Sun Lei vigorously ordered the volunteer soldiers who were operating the ten mortars to continue to fire shells, and wave after wave of shells landed on the north side of these American soldiers without exception, making them feel that there was no way to retreat at all, and they could only risk their lives and continue to rush forward.

Sure enough, these American soldiers saw that every time they rushed forward for more than ten meters, then there would be shells falling behind them, and in desperation, even if some people wanted to retreat, but they didn't want to be killed by shells, they had to choose the only way to rush forward.

After another five minutes, Sun Lei led the twenty volunteer soldiers in a platoon, firing a total of no less than 150 shells, and the commander of the American regiment, Colonel Madeep, led the remnants of the defeated army to rush forward to a place about 50 meters away from the hillside.

In other words, at this time, the ten mortars could no longer effectively bombard these American soldiers who entered within 50 meters, so Sun Lei had to order the 20 volunteer soldiers in the platoon behind him to stop the shelling.

After 15 minutes of continuous shelling, more than 200 US soldiers were killed, and more than 300 US soldiers were killed.

After the shelling stopped, Sun Lei hurriedly went down to the trench, trotted all the way to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and reported that the remaining US troops with less than ordinary strength had now charged to a place about 50 meters away from their hillside, and were no longer in the range of mortars.
