Chapter 37: The Bloody Battle of the Pass I
Yang Guang came to the east side of the high ground, and he looked for a good position behind a few rocks. He saw two enemies kneeling in a bunker on the eastern heights, firing incessantly down the hill with an M2 heavy machine gun, with the entire side exposed to his scope. He adjusted his breathing and gently pulled the trigger, and a 5.8mm bullet entered the American sergeant's left temple. The warhead rolled 90 degrees in the enemy's brain tissue and exited horizontally through the right auricle. He fell silently into the arms of the American soldier beside him, and the sub-shooter turned his face to the west in horror. Before he could see anything, a bullet pierced his steel helmet from the forehead and into his brain. plunged headlong into the corpse of his companion. Hearing that the machine gun was silent, an American soldier ran quickly towards the machine gun position with his waist bent, and Yang Guang shot him in the back. Yang Guang listened: "help! helpmeοΌ He shouted twice as hard as he could, and then there was no movement. If you don't die, you will definitely have to cut off the stall at a high level in the second half of your life. He stared closely at the wounded American soldier, and an American soldier heard his cry for help and came to his rescue, just crouching beside the wounded man and lying on his stomach, the bullet piercing his heart. Yangguang shifted positions and continued to monitor the machine gun. An American soldier crawled under the sandbag fortifications, trying to get close to the heavy machine gun. He was shot in the head by Yangguang, and the bullet pierced through the steel helmet and entered the brain from the Baihui point before stopping in the mouth, and a large amount of plasma mixed with white brain tissue flowed out of the enemy's mouth.
Yangguang had complete control of the eastern heights, close to the defending enemy to the west.
Twenty minutes later, the gunfire in the east also stopped.
After a while, Comrade Ergouzi ran up breathlessly, found Yang Guang and said, "Instructor Yang, the company commander, they have also taken down the east mountain." He asked me to come and protect you."
Yang Guang looked at the man with a U.S. military cartridge bag on his back and an M2 carbine with a scope in his hand. I just turned 18 this year, 2 years younger than myself, less than 1.6 meters tall, and I have become a correspondent in the second soldier company, and said with a smile: "Heh, heh." You're still protecting me, what should I do. β
"Nope. I'm going to learn how to shoot with you. Sniper" Ergouzi raised the M2 carbine in his hand, and said stubbornly on behalf of a scope.
Yang Guang thought about it for a while, this second dog has really helped himself a lot in the past ten days, helped himself carry his bags during the march, and always brought himself the first to eat first. He had given him a chocolate bar, but he had only bitten a small piece like a corn kernel and would not eat the rest again, saying that he had kept it for his sister, who was ten years old and had never eaten candy, let alone foreign candy. This made Yangguang Ting's heart uncomfortable. He gave him two more, but he refused to ask for anything. Yang Guang thought that maybe it would be safer to stay with him. "Okay, I'll take a look at that carbine of yours first."
Ergou handed over the gun and said, "This is what I just killed a big man and captured by the US military."
Yang Guang raised the M2 carbine, looked into the distance and said, "Not bad." This gun is generally equipped by the U.S. military for non-commissioned officers or officers and special forces. He unloaded the cartridge, looked at the 30-round magazine, reloaded it, and then took out the cartridge box in the two two-pouches attached to the butt of the gun, pressed it down and down, and felt that the bullets were full. How is your usual marksmanship? Yang Guang asked
"If there is a company commander in the company, it's me. I've been a soldier for two years, and I've killed five or six enemies. Yang Guang said with a smug smile.
"Alright then, don't run around with me, and be careful to hide yourself. Let's find a few places where we can fight and hide. β
Yang Guangling asked Ergou to patrol the entire western position, and told him how to enter the position and how to exit the position as he walked. And find a steel helmet of the US military to put on the second dog. They found several good sniper spots. What pleased him the most was the main peak of the highland to the west, which was located on the lower left shoulder of the Y-shape, 150 meters from the railway. The main peak is composed of a 25-meter-long, 20-meter-high, and 20-meter-wide granite rock in an east-west direction. Due to long-term wind and rain erosion, there is a boulder that occupies 1/3 thick and 1/3 long in the south from the main peak, and the top of the boulder leans on the peak in the north, forming a 7-meter-long and 2-meter-wide stone with a very irregular stone in the middle. There are many rocks around the peak. Condescendingly, the open land of less than 3 square kilometers in front of it has a panoramic view, and the slope in front of the main peak is steep, forming a 50-degree angle to the ground, and the tank cannot come up from here. Cleaning and transforming can form an excellent sniper position that is both offensive and defensive.
Yang Guang asked Ergou to find a few people, clear the stone in the room, flatten the inside, and fold the one-meter-high sandbags at both ends of the stone peak. Attach sandbags and trenches between the surrounding boulders. It would be better if two machine gun forts were added at both ends of the peaks. This allows you to control the open space in the lower half.
Yang Guang borrowed a dozen fighters from the second platoon. Roll the more than 20 barrels of gasoline at the foot of the hill and around the woods in front of them, from which the enemy must assemble and set off if he wants to attack the 198 heights. I found a bag of white ash that the US military might use to disinfect the camp next to the US soldier's tent, painted eye-catching white dots on each oil drum, and placed it in the woods for necessary cover. Then I returned to the high ground and looked at the more than 20 white spots 300 meters away with a scope at several firing points, and they were all eye-catching and clear.
At this time, Wang Baozhu returned to the high ground with more than 100 people from the 3rd platoon and the machine gun platoon, resisting an M2 heavy machine gun. He told Yang Guang: "This is the 198 Heights handed over to our 5th Company. There will be 4 companies in a while, which will be deployed at the foot of the mountain. The 169 heights to the east were given to the 6th and 7th companies. The seizures were also left to them. Just come back with a machine gun. Our entire 373 regiment of 4,000 people was all put into this area. It looks like this place is important. β
Yang Guang said: "The important thing is to be sure, this is the only way for the enemy to retreat south, and we may have to face one or two thousand enemies, not many regiments." The battle hasn't started yet! Let's hurry up and repair the fortifications, especially the anti-artillery hole, whether you can hold it depends mainly on the ability of the anti-artillery ability."
In Wang Baozhu's eyes, Yang Guang is a person who has a university question, and he knows everything and everything. Something to eat, what to do, what to do, anything can be done. He immediately said to several platoon commanders: "Go back quickly, dismantle the railway, move sleepers, put trees and hold on, load sandbags, and repair fortifications." As previously handed over by the Yang instructors. On the edge of the position, dig the cat's ear hole first, and dig deeper when you have time, expanding to both sides. Encounter stones with explosives to blow up. β
Yang Guang said: "I see that your fingers are set at the main peak of 198." That's good. It's my sniper position. β
"Okay, let's go and see," said Wang Baozhu.
Hurry back, everyone. The work was done in full swing, and the sound of artillery firing on the position was endless, and they were very busy. At dawn, each squad made a defensive position in a shallow tunnel five or six meters deep, more than one meter wide and more than one meter high, in front of the tunnel was a stone dug out in the middle of two layers of sandbags, and thanks to the straw bags that Lao Mei, who used to live here, left two wagons under the corner of the mountain. Even the cooking class is on the back side of the mountain, and a concave shape is blown out in the mountain, which is surrounded by sandbags on the open surface, and the top surface is paved with railroad rails, and the stove and storehouse are covered with half a meter of soil and a layer of sandbags. Everyone sent all the seized food to the cooking class. It's just that Ergou quietly told Yang Guang to secretly hide two cans of beef for him and put them under the stones under his backpack. Yang Guang teased Ergou and said: "You are a party member, this is a violation of discipline." β
"Hey. You're different from us, you haven't suffered hardship. You must be the young master of the big landlord," Ergou said.
Yang Guang smiled and said, "Almost." "Everyone says so, but you're a good person and you're learned. It's good for people, too. Everybody loves you. As long as you draw a line with your big landlord's father."
Yang Guang smiled and said, "Okay, Comrade Ergouzi, put the canned food there, you can keep it and eat it. I'm a young master."" That's not going to work, if you don't eat it, I'll send it back right away. When the war is over, when I go home, I must be sent a box by the ball organization for my mother and my sister to try. They didn't eat as well as I did in the army, they didn't eat anything. I opened a few boxes in the cooking class just now, and I smell it so good."
As soon as the day dawned, the second division of the United States withdrew from the north. The five "Wesley" field jeeps in front of them were sitting with 5.6 people, and they quickly drove into the pass of Y Row. Wang kept a shot to open the head of the driver of the first field jeep, and Yang Guang had already put the driver's head of the fifth Wesley jeep into the third ^ of his scope, and with the sound of Wang Bao's gunshot, Yang Guang also pulled the trigger of the second fire. The driver of the fifth jeep hit the wheel to the left before he died, and the car immediately flipped under the roadbed, and the second dog was also busy with an M2 carbine on the side. Yang Guang immediately moved the muzzle of the gun to the driver of the fourth jeep. A shot knocked him out of the car. The car rushed forward for more than ten meters without driving and also overturned off the roadbed. After moving to a new sniper position. Yang Guang noticed that there were still a large number of enemies behind, and there were about 40 trucks that had entered the U-shape. There are also 12 tanks in the middle . At this time, the gunfire was loud, and it took only two minutes for more than 30 American officers and soldiers in five jeeps to be reimbursed. The warriors below quickly rushed up and quickly cleaned up the battlefield. Then there is a quick withdrawal. The battlefield is calm again.
