Chapter 116: A Threat from the Skies

The grenade exploded in the air, and the black powder filled inside was not powerful enough to cause any damage, making people wonder whether to be happy or sad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the face of the follow-up reinforcements of the Volunteer Army, the US army chose to withdraw temporarily.

The casualties of the three companies in this battle exceeded 60 percent, and the position was almost broken through. In the interval of the truce, the entire third company was engaged in the construction of fortifications.

Due to the tight schedule and scarcity of materials, the Third Company only dug a few foxholes and a few rudimentary anti-artillery tunnels.

Many, like me, who were not seriously wounded, chose to stay on the ground after a simple treatment.

Instead of organizing the next sprint again immediately after being repulsed, the coalition forces chose to stand still and wait quietly.

Everyone knows what the coalition forces are waiting for, they are waiting for the cooperation of the air force.

Although they are all clear, there is no way to counter it.

Lying next to me was a wounded man from the Third Company named Niu Fu, whose head was covered with bandages, including his eyes.

He was holding a magazine in his hand and was pressing bullets into it. The clicky sound is rhythmic and reassuring to listen to.

"Here you go, I don't need it" After pressing the bullet, he handed me the submachine gun he used.

This is an American-made Thomson submachine gun, the grip has been played with and shiny, and it looks like it has been used for a long time.

"This is my old buddy, from the Liberation War to the present, there is no major problem."

I solemnly took the gun, which is a trust between soldiers and the bloodline inheritance of the army.

Handing over the gun, Niu Fu seemed to let go of his thoughts, took out a piece of paper, carefully shook the tobacco, and rolled it tightly.

"When do you think we will have as many planes as American devils in the sky?" Niu Fu looked at the sky and asked suddenly.

"Soon, soon!" The commander of the third company suddenly spoke up behind me.

Niu Fu is actually the old squad leader of the third company commander, and the third company commander specially rushed over to persuade the old squad leader, he understands what blindness means to an old soldier.

Without disturbing them to catch up, I squatted down and looked at the battlefield with black smoke everywhere.

There must be a way to reduce the casualties of comrades-in-arms! I racked my brain to think of what would work for me until I saw the abandoned Coalition cars on the highway.

"Company commander! I thought of a way! "I excitedly ran back and pitched my idea to the company commander.

The coalition artillery opened fire again, probably with little shells, and this time the intensity of the shelling began to weaken.

When the coalition infantry began to assemble, the planes of the American army finally appeared!

"Ignition!"

With the order of the company commander, dozens of piles of car tires were ignited, billowing black smoke covered the sky, enveloping the entire Songgu Peak, and even floating above the coalition forces.

The US bombers rushing to the aid were tragic, and it was difficult for them to determine the reference on the ground, so they did not dare to drop bombs.

The U.S. fighter jets did not pay any attention, and with their superb piloting skills, they lowered their altitude one after another and rushed into the thick smoke.

The soldiers of the Third Company, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly opened fire, forming a fire network in the air to intercept the US plane.

The four planes were completely defenseless and crashed head-on into a hail of bullets.

Two of the planes lost control and crashed into the ridge, while the remaining two struggled to turn around and reverse course. The other planes hovering high in the sky were frightened and hesitated to enter the "black fog".

As time dragged on, the coalition soldiers were about to enter the dangerous distance of the air raid, and the US fighters had no choice but to indiscriminately drop bombs on their own designated positions.

Most of the bombs and rockets hit the valley behind the ridge, and only a few bombs landed on the positions.

The place where I was staying was unfortunately hit by an incendiary bomb, and the flames struck people who did not dare to approach. During the battle, the volunteers had long summed up the way to extinguish this flame.

Two grenades were thrown into the flames, and the blast of air and dirt quickly extinguished the flames.

Extinguishing the remaining flames with shovels, we entered the dug firing position.

The Coalition soldiers were already very close, and if it weren't for the black smoke destroying their air-ground coordination, this battle would have been very difficult to fight.

The veteran Niu Fu was placed by me in a nearby foxhole, and his weapon was a box full of grenades.

"Tom"

"Boom!"

The "no conscience" cannon remodeled from gasoline barrels roared in the Korean theater again, and a salvo of four guns cleared a large open space in the coalition forces.

"Damn, the fight is too hard, the devil doesn't dare to go up"

The commander of the third company was very annoyed, the "heavy firepower" was exposed too early, and the coalition army's already little courage was scared. The coalition offensive failed before it could begin in formation.

The Coalition infantry, which had suffered heavy casualties, needed to be relieved, and they withdrew the U.S. 2nd Division and replaced it with the South Korean Infantry Division.

"Too much deception!"

Seeing the weapons that the coalition forces took the lead this time, I was so angry that my teeth itched. Bullying the volunteers did not have long-range firepower, the coalition sent the M7 Priest self-propelled guns and M19 self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles to the front line.

There are very few people in the trifecta who know these two things, only I know their dangers. Before I could find the commander of the third company, these two big killers were powerful.

The 105-mm M7 was so powerful when loaded with high-explosive shells that it shocked several soldiers of the third company to vomit blood even if it did not hit directly.

Even more powerful was the M19 anti-aircraft vehicle, its 40mm double-barreled cannon with an astonishing rate of fire, each shell like a grenade, tearing apart the exposed three companies of soldiers.

The soldiers of the three companies on the front line were beaten so that they were powerless to fight back, and all the weapons of the three companies were helpless to take them.

The passive assault situation only improved after the enemy soldiers rushed up, and we fired at each other and threw grenades at the enemy at a distance of less than 30 meters.

"Da Da Da"

The submachine guns were at their best at this distance, and the enemy forces were knocked down by me with Niu Fu's gun.

Listening to the crisp sound of the old man, Niu Fu raised his face with a satisfied smile, as if he was fighting himself.

This veteran soldier is still very deadly even if he can't see, he listens to the movement outside with his ears sideways, and can always interrupt the enemy's follow-up attack with a grenade when the enemy has just gathered.

"Tom"

"Boom"

There were so many enemies that it was already difficult to cope with guns and grenades alone, and the "no conscience" gun, which had been silent for a long time, opened fire again.

The unconscionable artillery only fired one round, and the prepared enemy forces secretly brought the mortars to the front line, and the well-trained coalition gunners quickly locked on to the position of the "unconscientious" guns. After a few volleys, we lost all our "heavy firepower"!

There was also the sound of fierce battle coming from our rear, the enemy's reinforcements went north, and the 335th Regiment was in danger of being attacked from both sides!

There were not many soldiers left in the third company, and the messenger sent for help brought the order of the regiment commander - no reinforcements, hold the position!
