Chapter 107: Counterattack and Defense
Under the cover of night, the soldiers quietly descended the high ground at three o'clock in the morning and touched the enemy position. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although we knew that the volunteers were good at night fighting, the U.S. and South Korean troops on the other side did not think that we dared to take the initiative to launch a sneak attack on them who were superior in numbers.
The enemy searchlights had been parked there since the middle of the night, and it was estimated that the guards had fallen asleep.
"Boom"
Just when the soldiers were about to enter the enemy's position, an accident still happened, and the cunning American troops randomly arranged some warning mines outside their own defense line, and some soldiers were accidentally hit.
"Up!"
With a wave of his hand, grenades in the hands of the soldiers rained down on the enemy positions, and soon there were firecrackers exploding one after another.
The U.S. soldiers, who had just stepped out of their tents or sleeping bags, were completely exposed to the overwhelming explosion and panicked.
"Kill!"
Countless volunteer soldiers turned over to the enemy position in the sound of explosions, and Rulin's bayonets flashed with dazzling cold light.
There were shirtless and shoeed U.S. troops everywhere, and the South Korean troops were relatively well-equipped because they didn't have enough tents.
Due to the suddenness of the Volunteer Army's attack, the enemy and us were quickly mixed together, which made the heavy firepower and automatic weapons of the American and South Korean armies useless, and they could only fight with bayonets, fists, and teeth like soldiers in ancient times!
Cars and armored vehicles behind the enemy were launched, and several Pershing tanks could still be vaguely seen. U.S. and South Korean soldiers quickly loaded boxes of weapons and food into transport trucks and began to evacuate under the cover of tanks and a small number of infantry.
Seeing the enemy's baggage running, the most anxious is the regiment commander behind, and a big target of this mission is the enemy's weapons, ammunition and food.
"Interspersed with the past, don't entangle, the devil is going to run away!"
Under the orders of the regiment commander, the volunteer soldiers formed a formation of three or three, covering each other's advance. is like a dog's tooth, biting the fat of the US and South Korean armies.
The soldiers who are best at hand-to-hand combat form a commando formation, like a saber plunged into the enemy. These veterans who fought with the RB people burst out with amazing might. Soon a gap was carved in the enemy army.
The follow-up forces soon widened the gap and divided the enemy forces. The divided enemy army faced a two-sided attack, which was even more difficult to parry, and finally evolved into a rout!
Only a small number of men were left in the regiment to clear the remnants of the enemy position, and the rest of the soldiers drove the retreating enemy like ducks, picking up the weapons, ammunition and cans left by the enemy while pursuing.
The volunteers did not have so many troops and food to support the prisoners, and even if they were caught, they could only be let go, so it was better to let them teach weapons and leave.
Behind the high ground was a flat river, after all, two legs could not catch up with four wheels, and a large number of the enemy's baggage was finally taken away.
The battle was over before dawn, and the weary soldiers could not rest yet, and after dawn the annoyed enemy would surely come back in large numbers.
I limped to my newly occupied position, trying to see if I could help.
The soldiers are sweating and building positions, and the original positions of the American and South Korean troops are on the other side, and there are only bare slopes on this side, so the soldiers have a lot of work.
The fortifications were built on the ridge and the anti-artillery holes were built on the back of the high ground, which is the experience we have learned after many battles with the American army, and in doing so, it can effectively resist the threat of direct fire from the enemy. Of course, in the face of enemy air force bombing, there is still nothing we can do.
Among the busy soldiers, I saw Jiang Yitao and others, who were silently digging the fortifications, and a corpse lay on the ground not far away.
I was shocked that there were still newcomers who had died. walked over and lifted the covered clothes, revealing Li Ziyun's young face. He had a bullet hole in his forehead and a large hole in the back of his head, which was empty.
"Squad leader", Jiang Yitao put down the shovel and greeted me.
I nodded at him and asked, "Are you healed?" ”
"It's not a big deal, we were just stunned, thank you for saving us"
I shook my head and whispered, "Don't thank me, it should be."
By the time the fortifications were finished, it was already dawn. Before the soldiers could eat a hot meal, the enemy couldn't wait to attack!
In order to prevent excessive casualties from enemy air raids, only one company was left on the high ground ahead, and the rest of the soldiers hid behind the high ground.
The U.S. and South Korean troops still used heavy artillery to clear our fortifications first, and the dense shells fell all the way up from the foot of the slope, and the high ground facing the enemy was suddenly in a sea of fire.
After the shelling began to extend, the US and South Korean tanks began to attack the high ground under the cover of infantry, and enemy fighters also appeared in the sky in the distance, and the volunteer soldiers on the front line were about to face the three-dimensional attack of the US and South Korean troops.
After the end of the enemy shelling, the soldiers hiding behind the high ground entered the defensive line one after another, ready to withstand the onslaught of the enemy troops.
This time, instead of using incendiary bombs, the US fighters dropped several conventional bombs, which did not cause serious casualties to the volunteers. After dropping the bombs, the enemy fighter plane did not leave, but turned a corner and attacked again at a low altitude, using the machine gun on the plane to strafe the volunteer soldiers in the trenches.
The volunteer trenches were not a straight line, and the soldiers played hide-and-seek with enemy planes in the intricate trenches.
U.S. fighter planes have been bullying the volunteers for their lack of anti-aircraft firepower, so the planes dare to fly close to the treetops, use air currents to break the camouflage of our troops, and then launch attacks in turn.
This time they made a mistake in their calculations, and during the march and lurking, the volunteers expressly forbade shooting at the planes, but there was no such restriction in positional warfare.
Several attacks by US planes allowed the fighters to figure out the pattern, and several light machine guns were quietly gathered and waited on the path that enemy planes had to pass.
An F84 "Nectarine" flew lower than any of the others after making a bend with his wingman in preparation for a final round of strafing, as if to show his mettle.
At the moment when he finished strafing and pulling up the plane, several flames suddenly appeared in front of him!
The bullets from several machine guns burst out in an instant, weaving an interception net, killing the pilot in the cab instantly, and the plane rolled over and planted on the gentle slope of the high ground behind, and exploded and ignited.
The sudden situation caused the US fighters to quickly raise their flight altitude, hovering and not daring to approach, and the rapid consumption of fuel forced them to return to the airport after a few turns.
The American tanks stopped at the foot of the high ground and turned their turrets to provide fire support to the infantry, sending rocks and dirt flying across the ridge.
Suppressed by tank guns, the U.S. and South Korean infantry advanced rapidly, quickly moved to a position less than 100 meters from the ridge, and then charged.
The tanks below, fearing accidental damage to their own people, stopped shelling, and it seemed that the positions would be swept down by the American and South Korean troops.
