Chapter 337: Retreat from the enemy
For the first time since the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea began, there was a battle in which less than a company of troops was fought against a regiment of the enemy.
This is something that the Yankees dare not imagine, because in the Yankees' impression, the Chinese have always used the tactics of crowds, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting at the same time.
It's not that a small force like this has never been encountered, but it was all cold guns before, and no one dared to make such a big move, so the Yankees did not send reconnaissance personnel to explore the road in advance.
In addition, there are still their own soldiers stationed on the mountain collar, who Cheng thought that someone would set up an ambush here, and let them suffer such a big loss at one time!
The reacting GIs, knowing the enemy's strength, rushed over the falling rocks to see which daring guy dared to attack them.
If the number of ambushes and Americans at this time were the same, the American troops would definitely not be so brave, even if they had tanks, because they would have spared their lives.
But what about the current situation?
Although I don't know the exact number, I can probably guess that the number of enemies is not much, so how can I not show my prestige at this time?
As a result, the special operations team retreated first, followed by the U.S. troops, and the last ones were trying to find a way to move the boulder, because there were still supply teams to pass through here.
The front tank was already approaching the minefield, and with two loud bangs, the front tank was blown off one side of the track in the flames, followed by the second and third vehicles that fled in a hurry......
The only four remaining tanks came to a halt, perhaps because they were afraid, and after stopping, the tanks stopped motionless.
Just when Chu Jian just wanted to ask Wei San if he wanted to kill them, the four tanks over there all opened the hatches, and then the tank soldiers inside all jumped out with their hands raised.
Gao Baoguo and Wang Liansheng, who came wildly, shouted at the tank soldiers who raised their hands and surrendered at the same time: "Lie on the ground and throw away your weapons!" ”
More than a dozen team members rushed to the team with sweat on their foreheads, and after disarming the tank crews, one of them caught a tank crew and gathered them together.
When the captives were all gathered together, all the members of the special operations team immediately scattered, taking the four intact tanks for their own use, and the rest of the team members used the tanks as cover to fight the soldiers who caught up.
After the special operators gathered the prisoners together, Wei San said through the walkie-talkie: "Pay attention to evasion, the shells are coming!" ”
The sixteen tank crews were still glad that they had escaped with their lives, but they didn't know that the next moment the shells sent them into the sky!
After the shells were issued, Chu Jian turned the tank around, hit the reverse gear, and merged with the other four tanks in a row, and stopped in place.
The U.S. troops, who were still scolding and chasing from a hundred meters away, were stunned at this time, and a row of five tanks in front of them formed a neat formation and pointed their gun barrels at them.
A regiment of two or three thousand people stopped in the face of this scene.
The scene became extremely strange for a while, and two or three thousand people looked at the five tanks and didn't know what to choose.
"What are you waiting for!! Come on! I don't know which commander shouted, so the American army moved again.
Wei San in the tank opened the hatch, Li Shun and Sun Jianshan jumped in, and closed the hatch with a "bang", and Wei San said coldly: "It's time to fight back!" ”
A question came from the walkie-talkie: "Captain, how?" ”
Wei San: "Do you still need me to teach you how to kill?" ”
"Roger!"
"Haha, cool!"
"Phew, this is to scare them to death, right? Look the Yankees are squatting! ”
"Don't say it's useless, let's get started!"
"Hah! Machine guns, fire! ”
The U.S. soldiers chased after them coaxingly, but now they are curled up as dogs, no one wants to eat the first wave of bullets, and their originally straight bodies are now bent into shrimp shapes.
The commander who gave the order was not confident, and urged: "All rush...... Come on! Damn, you guys! ”
These words did not change anything, the GIs were still hunched and crawling at a rapid pace, but when the tanks on the opposite side moved, the GIs rushed to the ground as if they had been hit hard.
It was impossible for them to think about it, because the five tanks carried fifteen machine guns, not to mention the special combat team's own machine guns, these fifteen machine guns had M2 Browning heavy machine guns in them, and the 12.7mm bullets were once again in the hands of the special combat team.
A rain of 7.62mm bullets mixed with 12.7mm bullets sprinkled the entire valley with golden beans, and shells continued to shoot out during the process.
The attack of the American army is pitiful, the Garand rifle cannot penetrate Sherman's armor, and even the M2 Browning heavy machine gun needs to be damaged from the weak point of the tank.
Five tin cans protected everyone in the special operations team, and those who did not get into the tank hid behind the tank and shot outward.
In fact, what frightens the US military the most is these people behind the tank, because the bullet trajectory of the machine gun is still easy to distinguish, as long as it does not come forward, it can always save their lives.
But the rifle in the back is different, because the weapon of the special operations team is an M3 carbine with night vision!
And this is what the US military does not know, in the eyes of the US military, those who dodged the machine-gun fire were shot in the head at the next moment.
I wasn't killed by artillery fire, I wasn't swept into rags by machine guns, but I didn't know where the bullets were flying.
Stray? It's certainly not a stray bullet!
Because more and more people were hit by stray bullets, in just over a minute, hundreds of American soldiers were killed, not counting the shells that were blown away.
The commander who urged the advance also tried to save face, but in his urging he found that his soldiers did not take a step forward, but pulled farther and farther away from the tank?
The GIs braved the rain of bullets and crawled on the ground, although their bodies were crawling, but the action was actually crawling backwards!
Funny, the troops of two or three thousand men were frightened by the five tanks that were parked in place.
When the commander saw this, he also made an excuse for himself: "Let's retreat behind the rocks and wait for the supply team to arrive, and then we will charge!" ”
No one listened to what he was talking about, because he rushed up stupidly when he knew he couldn't do damage to the enemy?
Gap!
Those who rush up are stupid in the eyes of the soldiers, but in the volunteer army, it is a heroic act!
It seems that retreat has become the signature of the US army, and the commander did not blush when he ordered the retreat!
If the two sides are replaced, there must already be fighters holding explosives bags to fight desperately at this time!
But the Yankees only knew how to hide behind bunkers and wait for reinforcements, for air reinforcements, for the enemy to retreat on their own......
After all the American GIs retracted from the boulder, they had a safe environment, and when they looked back, they left more than 200 comrades on the way back.
Many of the more than 200 comrades-in-arms did not die, and they fell to the ground and begged for someone to come and save them......
yes, fifty more wounded......
