Chapter 363: Hold on

"Boom-" The shells exploded near the trench, splashing up a cloud of dirt and stones, and everyone clinged to the trench! Winters was also mostly in the trenches, constantly shouting to the soldiers: "Posture down, posture down!" The North Koreans are going on the offensive, prepare weapons and ammunition, check their grenades. Carlisle, get ready for mortars! "Winters hunched his waist through the trenches, and it was clear that he had chosen not to hide in the battalion headquarters in the deeper trenches, but to be with his brothers.

He had received an order that the North Korean army had been cut off by the Black Panther special forces, and that the North Korean army, which was now attacking Busan, would face a situation of being flanked from both sides, and their only way out was to break through the Busan defense line and repel the American troops defending frontally. In this way, the crisis can be survived. It is clear that the commanders of the North Korean army know that this is their only chance! They attacked the positions defended by the 187th Regiment like crazy, each time more ferocious, each time more troops were invested.

"The North Koreans are coming up!" Major Cook shouted at Lieutenant Colonel Winters. There was a tremor in his voice, and it was clear that he was stunned by the situation. Scattered all over the mountains were the figures of North Korean soldiers, who were like ants climbing a huge enough food for them, desperately rushing towards the defensive line.

"God, my God!" Major Cook couldn't help but groan, and then he said to Lieutenant Colonel Winters, "I think we need help, for God's sake, I hope we still have reinforcements!" ”

"There are no reinforcements, Cook, you don't know what kind of situation we are facing!" Winters watched the North Korean army in front of him silently, he took a deep breath and said, "Tell the brothers that this is likely to be the last assault of the North Koreans, and if you stop them, we will win." ”

Indeed, this charge, using up all the shells of the North Korean army, they sent all their soldiers, including the reserves, in order to take this defensive position that gave them a headache and could not be attacked in one charge. The battalion led by Winters was unfortunately chosen as the main direction of attack.

"Oh my God, Dick has it this time!" Colonel Sweeney watched the attack of the North Korean army through the binoculars, and couldn't help but gasp, with all the strength mobilized by the North Koreans, just one battalion of Winters, which was blocking head-on, was facing an attack of almost two regiments. "Captain Hans, you lead the reserve company up and help Lieutenant Colonel Winters consolidate his position!" Then he said to the officer behind him: "Let the artillery prepare, we are going to do a big job!" ”

The situation was indeed dire, and Winters kept reminding the soldiers: "Steady, steady, let them come closer." As he spoke, there was a sudden sharp whistling sound overhead, and it was the artillery of the American army that began to counterattack, and at this time, there was also a "buzzing" sound in the air. Some soldiers shouted at the sky: "Oh, pretty fellows, go bomb them, to hell with them!" ”

The roar of the artillery and the bombing of the planes turned the hillside of the attack into a sea of fire, and the smell of scorching could be smelled from afar. Gasoline napalm burned everything, and even the U.S. troops on the defending side could see the North Korean troops screaming in the flames and couldn't help but frown.

It was destined to be an extraordinary battle, and even though the North Korean army was bombarded by planes and artillery, they miraculously retained most of their strength and rushed towards the defensive positions without flinching.

The faces of the North Korean soldiers can also be seen very clearly, they seem to be expressionless, they have no hideous faces and no cowardly fear, like tireless machines, they wave the rifles in their hands, and shri as they run.

Winters raised his rifle and aimed it at the soldiers in front of him, then decisively pulled the trigger and shouted, "Fire!" With a "bang", a soldier fell to the ground with the sound of gunshots!

"Fire!" Orders shouted from the position, and all sorts of light and heavy weapons began to spew flames, as if Winters had the illusion that he was back in the European theater. The familiar M1 rifle, the familiar sound of brothers calling for each other's help and help, seemed far away, but very close.

"I've been shot!" Someone was shouting for help.

"Doctor! I need a doctor here. Someone got hurt! ”

It was as if the cry came from the ice and snow, making Winters feel as if he was in E Company again, and the faces seemed to be the big cow Landowman, Li Gaote, Hubler, and Sifudi......

With a "boom-" a cannonball exploded next to Winters, and a puff of air lifted him up, and the rifle in his hand was detached from his hands and thrown high into the air. His body fell heavily to the ground, and suddenly a sharp pain came from his tuǐ, making him can't help but groan and curse: "Damn! ”

"God!" Major Cook exclaimed, "Lieutenant Colonel Winters! He rushed towards Winters, trying to drag him into the bunker set up in the trench, but as he propped up his head, he suddenly felt something hit his head hard, and the crimson liquid quickly filled his eyes.

Major Cook was shot in the head, blood splattered all over his face, and he fell to the ground, his body falling less than five meters from Winters, but he could not get up again.

"God!" Winters couldn't help but groan, he tried to get up, and then approached the edge of the trench, he found a rifle, but just now the shrapnel of the cannonball pierced his little tuǐ, and he staggered a little, and the bullets coming from the opposite side were so dense that people could barely lift their heads.

"Doctor!" Winters shouted loudly, at a medic who was bandaging soldiers in the trenches, "I'm wounded, hurry up, help me!" ”

At this time, someone was shouting, "Major Cook is dead, God, we can't resist." ”

"Damn, who's yelling there!" Winters asked as he turned to the doctor who ran over. The doctor looked over for a moment, "It's Mueller, that guy is a new recruit, he can't stand this scene, this is the most brutal battle I've ever seen!" A lot of people are injured, it's normal for someone to break down, Lieutenant Colonel! The doctor comforted Winters and began to stop the bleeding and put a bandage on him.

"He's going to kill us. Hurry up, doctor! While Winters was still wrapped in bandages, he stood up and shouted at the soldier who was crouching in the trench in fear and did not dare to straighten up, "Soldier, raise your rifle and shoot at those damned North Koreans, hurry!" With that, he rushed over, and the doctor shouted behind him, "Lieutenant Colonel, your tuǐ has not been wrapped in a tie yet!" ”

"I can't do it!" Winters said and rushed to the soldier's side, lifted his collar, pressed him to the edge of the trench and shouted, "Soldier, pick up your gun, yes, that's it, shoot, yes, well done, shoot, don't stop!" As he spoke, the soldier named Muller cried and emptied all the bullets with his trembling hands, and with a "ding" sound, the magazine bounced out with a crisp sound.

"Don't stop, keep fighting, we have no way out, we have no reinforcements, no one will take our place!" Winters walked loudly back and forth in the trenches, and kept shouting loudly, "Retreat, we will die, repel these North Koreans, we will live, don't let up, shoot, hit hard!" ”

Just when the feeling of fear caused by the death of Major Cook was spreading, Winters appeared in time, he dragged the wounded tuǐ, and shouted at the soldiers over and over again in the trench, but it was precisely because of Winters's constant shouting that these soldiers realized that their battalion commander was still here, and they were not defeated!

"Kill this son of a bitch!" Carlisle was also shouting loudly in the trench at this time, and he vigorously recognized a grenade, and the North Koreans who rushed to the front were blown away by the grenade, "Let you taste my melons, come on, you hún eggs!" ”

The North Koreans are already getting closer and closer, even at a distance of forty or fifty meters, it seems like a huge trench. By that time they were advancing, relying on the falling corpses, pushing forward, albeit slowly.

"Get on the bayonet!" Winters gave the order loudly, this is a matter of no choice, finally to the point of white-knuckle fighting, Winters couldn't help but till a sigh, and then continued to raise his rifle shè, they must climb out of the trench within twenty meters of the North Koreans, otherwise they will wait to be cleaned up.

Then, just as he was about to give the order to charge, suddenly the rear of the North Korean army rose up, and it seemed that a dense burst of gunfire sounded, followed by the sound of shells exploding.

"It's now!" With a tight grip on his hands, he used the uninjured tuǐ to hold on, jumped up the trench, and shouted at the brothers in the trench, "Let's rush out and kill them, it's our time, we'll fight on both sides!" "Obviously, the North Koreans also see the crisis, and their rear is being attacked.

Another squadron of the Panther special forces has already gone on the offensive. The attacking Korean army had been flanked from both sides, and the soldiers who had just rushed forward were dealt a blow and retreated like water, and Winters took the opportunity to direct his brothers to counterattack.

"Bang!" With a bang, it was the sound of the butt of the gun hitting the face and the sound of broken bones, Carlisle smashed the butt of the gun, and the face of a North Korean soldier suddenly collapsed, and he shouted fiercely: "This time it's for Cook!" ”

Yes, this battle, this battalion of Winters is basically crippled! Seeing the brothers fall to their side one by one, there was an inexplicable resentment and anger in everyone's hearts, and they all vented on those North Korean soldiers.

It was only a matter of time before the offensive forces of the North Koreans were annihilated, and the defense of Pusan was basically successful, and not long after this battle, on September 15, 1950, MacArthur boarded the flagship Mount McKinley to personally supervise the battle, and under the cover of more than 300 warships and more than 500 aircraft of the United States and Britain, the 10th Army of the United States successfully landed at Incheon, raided from the rear of the Korean army, cut off the waist line of the Korean Peninsula, and quickly recaptured the port of Incheon and the nearby islands. On September 22, the joint ** who had retreated to the Busan ring defense circle counterattacked, and on September 27, the Inchon landing force joined up with the Busan troops near Suwon, and recaptured Seoul a day later.
