(595) Metal Flowers

In the past three days, Yang Jingyi fought with Lao Liu. It was this war-hardened veteran who taught Yang Jingyi how to be a warrior who could both protect herself and kill her enemies.

"It's a pity that he's not here, otherwise it would be nice for the two of us to cooperate in battle!" Yang Jingyi sighed.

Lao Liu was wounded in order to cover an anti-tank man. In order to destroy an enemy Soviet "KV-1" tank that rushed to Yang Jingyi's position, the anti-tank man stood up and aimed. But the enemy tanks were cunning and accelerated their movements. The enemy infantry found out that the anti-tank men were about to take him down, and at this time, Captain Liu Hanliang and Yang Jingyi could only jump up and fire at the enemy, and the enemy's machine gun hit Captain Liu Hanliang in the thigh. Of course, Yang Jingyi's sacrifices were not in vain, and the enemy's tanks were beaten to shreds. The enemy was also frightened by their lifeless tactics, and left more than a dozen corpses and fled from the position in a hurry.

The enemy's artillery suppression was still endless, and in order to strengthen the ability to fight continuously, they probably carried several bases of ammunition per infantry fighting vehicle.

couldn't look up and go out, Yang Jingyi began to be a little anxious. It would be troublesome if the enemy infantry could easily touch them, and they were equipped with weapons suitable for trench combat. Every time the infantry that the enemy touched into the tunnel, it took a lot of energy for Yang Jingyi and her comrades. The infantry that the enemy touched into the tunnel would not move around, but they would always stay there and block the road with firepower, affecting Yang Jingyi's maneuver in the tunnel. In order to take out this kind of nasty enemy, Yang Jingyi usually formed a group of two or three people to cooperate in the assault from several directions, using Yang Jingyi's familiarity with the structure of the tunnel to give the enemy a surprise blow from the dark tunnel in several directions at the same time. Generally, the enemy will be beaten by Yang Jingyi, and there will be more death and less life. But now there is only Yang Jingyi alone, which is not easy to do.

Looking at her watch, about a minute has passed, but Yang Jingyi feels like it's been a long time. Suddenly, not far from Yang Jingyi, an enemy let out a heart-rending cry before dying, and then the enemy's guns bombarded the left side of Yang Jingyi's position.

Taking advantage of the gap in the transfer of enemy firepower, Yang Jingyi quickly poked her head out. I saw an enemy swept by his own flamethrower, rolling and howling on the ground with flames, and not far from him, a flamethrower fell to the ground on his back, the flamethrower in his hand still burning.

The enemy's flamethrower must have been killed by the snipers in Yang Jingyi's flank position when they touched Yang Jingyi's side, and they also carried a companion with him.

Without hesitation, Yang Jingyi quickly found an enemy machine gunner in an exposed position, and he was vigorously strafing to the left. Aiming at most of his upper body, Yang Jingyi shot another short shot. The guy didn't even snort and collapsed next to the machine gun.

After retracting into the bunker, Yang Jingyi was about to pull the smoke generator, when suddenly, a shuttle bullet swept a few centimeters above Yang Jingyi's head, stirring up a string of fires on the wall of the bunker. Cement chips splashed on Yang Jingyi's face, causing her pain.

"It's dangerous!" Yang Jingyi screamed in her heart.

It seems that the enemy has been paying attention to Yang Jingyi's movements, and opens fire at the first suspicious sign. If it weren't for the fact that the terrain here was a little higher, Yang Jingyi's movements would be a little faster, and the enemy's bullets would have been summoned to her.

There was no time to rejoice, pulling the smoke generator, Yang Jingyi quickly ran to the next sniper point. I didn't run a few meters, and the explosion of shells was already ringing in the position just now.

"Where did the enemy shoot just now? A little direction? No, it seems to be the position of the three-point species. There was a big bomb crater there that could be used to shoot at Yang Jingyi. Yang Jingyi thought silently in her heart, calculating where the enemy's infantry might be lurking.

The enemy has strengthened the tactical coordination of infantry and artillery. There must be enemy soldiers crouching at a distance to coordinate, and they have to find a way to disrupt the enemy's attack attempt. "It would be nice if the anti-tankers destroyed a tank, so the enemy would be in a panic." Yang Jingyi began to pray that the anti-tank rockets that came in the evening would find an opportunity to destroy the enemy's tanks sooner.

"Gotta lure the enemy tanks over and give them a chance to strike." Yang Jingyi's head quickly calculated how to attract enemy tanks.

The enemy's infantry fighting vehicles still did not give up the fire suppression on Yang Jingyi's side, and Yang Jingyi could not poke her head out at all when she reached the exit of the third bunker. Yang Jingyi's shooting just now strengthened the enemy's determination to suppress the fire on Yang Jingyi's position, and they believed that there were Chinese snipers operating in the small position on the right, and as long as the covering infantry controlled the exit of the tunnel, the Chinese army could be divided and annihilated one by one.

There was no way, Yang Jingyi gave up the idea of trying to kill the enemy from here. Cautiously returning to the second layer of the tunnel, Yang Jingyi walked briskly towards the concealed observation post on the right side of the position.

When she lay on the periscope and looked out, Yang Jingyi found that the enemy had advanced another 50 meters towards Yang Jingyi's position. From time to time, the enemy's flamethrower spewed out blinding dragons and fired at the bunkers at the exit of the tunnel. "If you let the enemy advance like this, it will be difficult to fight." Yang Jingyi thought with a frown.

In the dark night, the enemy's tank suddenly shook, the turret emitted fire, and then the explosion reached Yang Jingyi's ears.

Yang Jingyi was stunned. Why did the anti-tank men lose their breath and launch ahead of schedule! No, why did the enemy fire at the highest point of the position to the right of the position? "It's Liu Junkai and them! Risking being hit by the enemy to fire at the enemy tank, they must have seen the enemy's intentions and attracted the enemy to maneuver to the right! ”

The enemy tanks, like beasts that smelled fish, roared and pounced on the right position. Tank targets, the temptation for enemy tanks is much greater than the suppression of infantry.

The enemy's tanks and self-propelled guns fired several shells viciously like hyenas that had found carrion, and one after another slammed through the night and pounced on Liu Junkai where they had just fired the shells.

"Liu Junkai, hurry up and hide!" Yang Jingyi muttered in her heart, but the person quickly ran towards the outermost bunker exit of the right position.

Enemy tanks and armored vehicles still fired at the top of the high ground on the right. Yang Jingyi poked her head out to identify the position of the infantry from the fire of the enemy's artillery, and raised her submachine gun to shoot at the enemy.

The smoke transmitter placed by Yang Jingyi just now released a thick smoke, and the wind direction happened to drift towards Yang Jingyi. The view of enemy infantry fighting vehicles in the distance was obscured.

When Yang Jingyi fired several short strafing shots, the enemy's rightmost tank finally spotted Yang Jingyi, and without hesitation, moved the hull to the slope where Yang Jingyi placed the anti-tank mine, and tried to fire at Yang Jingyi. 10m, 8m, 5m...... The enemy tank slowly turned its turret to Yang Jingyi's side as it moved.

"Boom!" A shell exploded not far behind Yang Jingyi's head. Because they were too close, the enemy did not directly hit Yang Jingyi. But Yang Jingyi was still hit by the air wave of the shell explosion and fell to the ground.

When Yang Jingyi raised her head again, she found that the enemy tanks were no longer advancing. "No, the enemy tanks must be brought in." Yang Jingyi raised her head and raised her gun to shoot at the turret of the enemy tank.

The turret of the enemy tank was stirred up by a string of sparks from the bullet, and the enemy was in a hurry, and advanced a few meters to Yang Jingyi's side, and the barrel of the gun stretched out to Yang Jingyi's side again to prepare for launch.

"Anti-tank mines, do it quickly!" Yang Jingyi began to talk to herself anxiously, "Quick! Fast! ”

When Yang Jingyi saw the enemy's tank barrel aiming at her, her heart seemed to stop beating at that moment, and her brain was at a loss.

At this moment, a bright flower suddenly bloomed in the night sky above the tank, and a cluster of hot metal jets pierced the top of the tank in an instant. This was the most beautiful metal flower Yang Jingyi had ever seen in her life, and she watched in amazement as the tank disintegrated in this bouquet of flowers. Detonated tank ammunition lifts the turret open, and the flames illuminate the mutilated tank body eerily. The steel behemoth, which was formidable just a moment ago, is now an ugly pile of scrap metal.

She had blown up a tank before, but she crouched in the tunnel and did not see the enemy tank being blown up by a heavy anti-tank mine.

"I didn't expect to be so exciting to blow up enemy tanks!" In the distance in front of her, a series of shells exploded to bring her back to reality, who was still thinking nonsense. The comrade on the left is covering her. When she came back to her senses, she quickly got into the bunker, only to find that her back was soaked.

Digging into the tunnel, she began to figure out her next sortie. She had shown her face in the front and back of the right position, and the enemy had become more and more familiar with the structure of the positions of the Chinese soldiers in the past two days, and it was difficult to find an unexpected sortie for the enemy. Movement into the trenches of the surface positions was undoubtedly a waste of targets for the enemy, and the enemy's crossfire made it impossible to hide, let alone effectively strike the enemy. Dampening the idea of going out, she began to reach for the first bunker closest to the enemy.

The enemy's ground troops were halted by the series of attacks by the Chinese soldiers just now, and from the periscope she saw that the enemy's ground armored troops were gathered about 300 meters away from them, and their infantry was probably in the crater of 60 or 70 meters in front of the armored vehicles.

The smoke she had just released was gradually blown away by the wind. The position was gradually exposed in front of the enemy, and the enemy began to shoot vigorously again, and the sound of shell explosions rang out one after another.

"The enemy infantry is coming in again," she sighed.

"Yang Jingyi? Yang Jingyi? How are you? Suniana's voice came.

As soon as Yang Jingyi replied, "I'm here," an earth-shattering explosion rang out on the position as the shells glided through the air and the piercing screech. The ground shook again, and shards of concrete fell on their helmets and shoulders. It took a while after the explosion to let go of the fingers blocking her ears, her whole stomach churning from the explosion just now, and the feeling of wanting to vomit but not being able to vomit tormented her and made her miserable. Sunyana also leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

This is war. No flowers, no fresh air, not even quiet nights; Only deadly bullets and artillery fire, only the choking smoke that fills the surroundings, and the Grim Reaper who hides in the dark corners of the night and will push the exhausted you down the abyss of death at any time.

Although she knew the cruelty of war, she only knew what it was like when she experienced it herself: in hope and despair, in excitement and frustration, in sobriety and exhaustion, a night of battle would give you a taste of many unforgettable experiences in life. This is war! Everyone seems to be passing by quickly, and a one-night experience can make you old.

Sunyana nudged her, who was still lost in thought. Standing up, they came to the exit of the tunnel. The enemy began to sweep fire again, and from time to time shrapnel and splashed dirt fell in the outside. The enemy infantry slowly touched up again, constantly bombarding with flamethrower jets and automatic grenade launchers. The pitch black night outside is lit up from time to time. The remaining enemy tanks were still hovering their positions, but they seemed to be much farther away.

"We've got to find a way to get the enemy down. Otherwise, you will get caught up in a tunnel skirmishes with the enemy. Sunyana said as she listened attentively to the conversation of her enemies.

They stayed for a while. Sunyana turned on the machine gun safety, and they moved a little closer to the exit of the pit bunker.

A bright ball of light formed by the explosion of a flare suddenly appeared in the sky. They paused for a moment, and after the shells fired blindly by the enemy outside the bunker exploded, they crouched and fell into the bunker. Illuminated by bright flares, they saw a large area of enemy figures scattered not far ahead. The sudden flares kept the enemies open, and they all stopped moving and looked for shelter.

Without a call, various firing points on the positions of the Chinese troops simultaneously opened fire on the enemy. Automatic grenade launchers, machine guns, submachine guns, and assault rifles simultaneously beckoned to the enemy, causing them to cry and flee in all directions.

The enemy's infantry finally retreated two or three hundred meters back. But at the cost of dozens of new corpses under the position.

They retreated into the tunnels to avoid the retaliatory shells of the enemy. The two magazines had been fired, and she went back below to replenish two, and a few grenades in her hand, ready for a possible melee with the enemy.

The enemy was still not far in front of their positions. Another covered bombardment of 155-mm grenades. After the rectification, the enemy came up again.

Still using the old way, when the flares were lifted into the air, they killed them out of the tunnel. After less than a minute of contact combat, the enemy again fled with his head in his hands. There were again more than a dozen more corpses in front of the position.

Yang Jingyi heard what was probably the angry voice of the enemy commander. The enemies began to point fingers at each other. It is no wonder that with such powerful firepower and tanks working together, there is no reason to be so embarrassed by the Chinese army. However, the enemy's attack was indeed continuously blocked, and several tanks and nearly a hundred corpses of infantry were hitched! It seems that tonight the enemy commander is going to have another sleepless night.

If the Soviet commander knew that there were only a dozen Chinese soldiers guarding this position, only one tank, not a heavy tank with large-caliber guns, and not much anti-tank equipment, he would probably be to death.

After another twenty minutes, the enemy did not need heavy artillery support, and pounced on it with the fire support of tank guns, infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled guns.

"The enemy seems to have brought in the self-propelled guns." From the sound of enemy shells falling on the position, Sunyana recognized that the enemy had intensified her fire.

Using range-finding equipment, enemy self-propelled guns could provide indirect fire support to their infantry without being affected by flares. The enemy presumably had artillery surveyors in place, and the dense fire coverage made it impossible for them to fight their way out of cover. This time, the enemy changed its offensive strategy, and the artillery simply covered the battlefield layer by layer, covering the infantry up to the entrance to their tunnel bunkers.

The battlefield was once again filled with gunsmoke, and the choking smoke was carried into the tunnel by the wind. The enemy's advance was rapid, and in less than five minutes they heard the sound of the enemy's infantry moving not far from them.

To avoid being injured by the flamethrower, they were forced to retreat deeper into the pit and wait for an opportunity at a turn.

"That's a problem. The right position is separated from them, and if the enemy blocks the mouth of the tunnel, then Song Yugang and the others will be in danger. Yang Jingyi began to worry about Song Yugang and them.

Sunyana didn't seem to hear Yang Jingyi speak, she listened intently for a while, and suddenly said, "Hurry up, go to the bunker!" ”

Yang Jingyi looked at her with some confusion. But without hesitation, he rushed outside with his gun, unscrewing the cover of a grenade as he ran.

The flares had just been lit outside, and the enemy was already in disarray, and in the distance there were two enemy armored vehicles that were on fire, and the remaining vehicles were maneuvering left and right, and the two tanks were firing blindly; The enemy infantry had climbed up to their positions and were firing vigorously into the bunkers of the tunnels, and their sudden appearance surprised the enemy.

It turned out that Liu Junkai and they took advantage of the enemy's retreat a while ago to quietly ambush in the building of the central position, the enemy's armored fighting vehicles thought that there was tank support, and the Chinese soldiers did not dare to appear on the surface position, so they swaggered to suppress the fire. I didn't expect their tank to be killed and risk appearing. As a result, two cars were destroyed in a row. Without waiting for the enemy to aim and shoot, Song Yugang ordered the flares to be fired. Now the enemy began to get caught up in the struggle again.

Yang Jingyi shouted and strafed with a submachine gun, sweeping down the two enemies in front of her, Sunyana held a Soviet-style machine gun, followed her closely, and Yang Jingyi was different, she did not shoot indiscriminately, but used the machine gun to the effect of a sniper rifle.

Almost knocked down dozens of enemies, Yang Jingyi's submachine gun ran out of bullets, she threw away the submachine gun, dodged and jumped into the trench, at this time she saw that Sunyana's machine gun bullets were also gone, at this time the two Soviet soldiers found that her guns stopped firing, so they pounced on her.

Yang Jingyi pulled out her pistol and was about to go up to help her, but a Soviet soldier suddenly pounced on her from behind and grabbed her wrist.
