Chapter 362: Defensive Battle

"Vane? Corporal Carlyle? Winters looked at him, his expression was very calm, and he didn't look angry at all, "How many years have you been a soldier?" Three years? Four years or more? ”

"Two years, sir!" Carlisle tried to straighten his xiōng, but his mind was still dazed by the drunkenness of the previous night. [No pop-up novel network]

"Two years?" Lieutenant Colonel Winters nodded and said, "I served as an officer in the summer of 1942 from the Tacoya Barracks, serving in Company E, 2nd Battalion, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, on the eve of June 6, 1944, parachuted into the Normandy area, participated in the Normandy landing campaign, the market Huā garden operation, defended Bastogne, captured Hitler's Eagle's Nest, my front from France to the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany to Austria, when my company went to fight, it was more than 120 people until the end of the war, Forty-one people have lost their lives for the country, and more than 100 have been injured, many of them seriously, many twice, several three times, and one as many as four times. Even in the most difficult battle of Bastone, our brothers were under great mental pressure, but they did not break down, but held out until the time of victory. ”

Winters didn't say this very loudly, but the team stood silently, no one spoke, and they all listened with bated breath. Winters looked at Carlisle and said, "I want to know, have you broken down?" If you are still a soldier, then accept the punishment honestly, and not make any excuses for yourself. ”

"Yes, sir!" Carlisle said loudly, his eyes looking straight ahead, standing with his pen tǐng, "I am willing to accept the punishment!" ”

"Very good!" Winters nodded, then looked at all the brothers and said, "We are the only active team of the 101st Airborne Division, I am a veteran of the 101st Airborne Division, and I hope to find the feeling of the 101st Airborne Division where I once served from here." As he spoke, he saluted the soldiers, then turned to Major Cook and said, "Carlisle will be left to you to deal with, and if there are any soldiers who violate the rules, I hope you will not have mercy on them." Because on the battlefield, the enemy will not have mercy on them! As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the battalion headquarters without looking back, without looking at these people again, and his back looked so firm!

After this time, there was basically no problem with the training, after all, this is a group with the first principle of obeying orders, it is the army. The soldiers' consciousness and sense of honor have forced them to reattach importance to this basic requirement. The appearance of the battalion led by Winters was also new, and it soon attracted the attention of Colonel Sweeney, who had to emphasize the basic training and the normative behavior of military discipline and appearance in the regiment again, because of Lieutenant Colonel Winters's example, the battalion commanders of other battalions also had to cheer up, and the effect of this was that the 187th Regiment showed a new mental outlook, and also restored the confidence of the soldiers little by little.

It was at this time that they received an order to enter a defensive position, and they were to take over the northernmost section of the defensive position in Busan, where a regiment of the 25th Division was disabled and had to be retired to rest, and the 187th Regiment officially took over their defensive front.

After paying a huge price, the 25th Division held the defense line in Busan, and firmly controlled the position, nailed there, so that the North Korean army was greatly resisted, the two sides fought very fiercely, sometimes, ten attacks would be launched in a day, the North Korean army charged the American position as if it was not fatal, a little regardless of casualties and costs.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" The soldiers of the 25th Division saw the 187th Regiment replenished, and some of them finally let out a long breath, and in this position, hundreds of shells came to comb this place every day. This made the soldiers who defended this section often feel desperate and frightened by the shells, and now that they are finally getting out of here, there is nothing better than this!

"Have a nice holiday, guys." Carlisle waved at the ragged soldiers who were holding each other up, or in a state of mind, "You look like a bunch of people coming out of hell, let's clean up the Koreans, guys, so you can sleep peacefully!" ”

"God bless you, buddy, North Koreans are crazy, don't take crazy people lightly!" Those men kindly reminded Carlisle that they had had enough of the position! And in their opinion, the nightmarish days of the 187th regiment are coming.

"Okay, don't worry about that, we'll take care of the position!" Carlisle yelled at the soldier as he turned to one of the soldiers next to him and said, "The North Koreans freak out the numbers." You know, we've played against them, it's nothing, we're going to win them! As he spoke, he walked forward with his rifle on his shoulder.

Not everyone in the 187th Regiment is as optimistic as Carlisle, but the military discipline and training in the past few days have finally allowed these guys to regain a little self-confidence. Not to cower when entering the position. This is very rare for a team that has been hit hard in the past.

And just when the 187th Regiment entered the defensive position, the Black Panther special forces had already received the task, they would carry out sabotage operations on the elongated display of the North Korean army, cut off the North Korean troops without heavy weapons who broke through, and provide the US planes with the coordinates of the actions of the armored forces of the North Korean army for bombing, all of which was carried out in an orderly manner, and all this was just to consolidate the defense of Busan.

At this time, the weather in North Korea gradually began to cool, and the weather in September rained from time to time, and the dust splashed by artillery fire in the woods would also be washed away when it rained, giving off a bright green sè. The 187th Regiment had been holding its position for ten days, and these ten days had already made them realize the desperate attack method of the Koreans.

"If we don't have support, we won't be able to survive!" Major Cook spoke to Winters, their headquarters in a deep, dug bunker. The soldiers of the 187th Regiment once again strengthened the defensive positions on the basis of the original defense, including deep-dug bunkers. The brief ceasefire on the battlefield made everyone's spirits almost broken.

"I know, but we've got to hold on!" Lieutenant Colonel Winters nodded silently, he originally thought that there would be no more difficult battle than Bastone, but now that the North Koreans were constantly attacking the position with superior troops, he felt that difficult moment again, "No one can help us, except ourselves." Cook, take up arms, what we have to do now is not to stay in the bunker command, but to be with the brothers! With that, he picked up a rifle and walked out.

The smoke and dust in the sky have just been washed away by the rain, and the air has the smell of dirt, and the rain drinks the dust slowly dripping from the leaves, and every grass seems to absorb the source of life from the leaves.

A drop of water dripped from the straw camouflage on the brim of his hat, and then splashed a little circle of water in a small puddle in front of him, and Lieutenant Colonel Halig crawled there motionless, blending in with the grass and trees around him, his eyes staring like an eagle at the road ahead, an improvised road, and from this road a regiment of the Koreans would pass by, they were the follow-up reinforcements of the North Korean army, and the weakest point of the whole line of attack of the North Korean army.

The ground shook slightly, and it was a North Korean army truck. They didn't have many trucks, and most of the army was on foot, and it was their vanguard who rode in trucks. Gradually, the truck appeared as a blur of shadows on the improvised road, and the shadows became clearer and clearer as the roar became louder and louder.

"Don't move anyone, let them go!" Haliger's order was quickly relayed to the entire squadron. More than 2,000 people from two squadrons of the Black Panther Special Forces were involved in the battle. Halig is responsible for cutting off the North Korean army, while another squadron will be responsible for sniping and rescuing the North Korean forces attacking Busan, thus forming a two-sided attack with the defending forces in Busan. Now, the most important thing is to see if Hailig's truncation operation called "Blade" can be successful.

The North Korean army's car drove past in front of them, and they could even see the serious faces of the soldiers sitting in the car, they were not smiling, and there were no tents on the car to shield them from the rain falling in front of them, the North Korean soldiers looked wet, but no one moved, and every soldier was sitting upright.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Heflang kept whispering in his mouth, his voice was very low, so low that only he could hear it, the feeling of oppression before the war came, people couldn't help but start to nervous, this has nothing to do with new recruits and veterans, the more people who participate in the battle, the stronger this feeling is.

"It's time to go!" Lieutenant Colonel Hailig nodded at one of the majors, the convoy of the North Korean army had been a long time gone, and the follow-up troops began to appear in sight, "Get ready, brothers!" Waiting for my orders! ”

"Yes sir!" The Major crawled past Hellig, who was to convey Lieutenant Colonel Hellig's order at once. The sniper rifle was slowly raised wrapped in turf, and the barrel of the automatic rifle gradually lifted, shining with a cold glow in the cold air.

Halig raised his automatic rifle and adjusted his aim, the face of a North Korean soldier blocking the crosshair behind his crosshair, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang!" The soldier suddenly fell to the ground, and suddenly the gunfire rang out intensively.

"Enemy attack!" An officer with a pistol raised his pistol high and fired several shots into the air, trying to stop the soldiers who looked panicked after being attacked, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" He shouted and tried to organize the team, but someone had already targeted him.

"That's you, baby!" The alignment of Toy's sniper rifle was firmly locked on him, and he whispered, "You're mine!" As he spoke, he pulled the trigger, and the officer's body seemed to pause, his head was hit, blood splattered in the air, and his head fell back as if it had been hit by a bāng bat.

The officers were quickly killed by the snipers, and the soldiers of Húnluàn were not effectively organized, and they tried to fight on their own, but were soon hit by accurate bullets and let out desperate howls, which made it difficult to muster the courage to do anything but find cover to hide.
