Chapter 104: In the Corner of the Army
The UN troops, whose rear route had been cut off, fell into a frenzy, and as we advanced into the corner of the army, we were met with a frantic counterattack by the enemy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Our 338th Regiment defended on the left side of the whole army, which completely belonged to the role of playing soy sauce. Listening to the artillery fire of the 337th and 339th regiments in the distance, our whole regiment was so anxious that we scratched our ears and cheeks.
Today our task is to repair the fortifications, and there are not even large lumps of earth in the leveled trenches, and there is really no place to repair them.
"The head of the regiment is back!" The sharp-eyed soldier saw a group of cats in the distance.
I stuck my head out to take a look, and hurriedly instructed Jiang Yitao to pick up a shovel and get up to work.
"Where else do you need to get, don't pull us if you want to curry favor with the officials!" Mao Qiang threw the shovel and sat on the ground and couldn't get up.
Although the other people were still moving, they were perfunctory at first glance.
"Commander, did you get the combat mission?"
"That's right, Captain, 337 and 339 have been fighting for two days, it's time for us to go eat some meat!"
......................
The soldiers asked in a rambling manner, not paying the slightest attention to the dark face of the regimental commander.
"What a noise!" The sudden shout of the regiment commander quieted the surroundings, and several soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and quietly hid.
"Pretty idle, huh? Are the fortifications repaired? Ready for dry food? The regiment commander yelled at the soldiers who were watching the excitement around him, he had just returned from the division headquarters, and he had been scolded for going to war, and now he was on fire.
"Huddle together in broad daylight and wait to be bombed, right? Get out of here! ”
The crowd around suddenly dispersed, even the new recruits had seen the fiery temper of this regiment commander in the past few days, and no one wanted to be caught alone for half an hour of training, and they had to write a thousand-word review.
When passing by us, the head of the regiment looked at us who were "hard" and busy, and snorted in his nose, looking still very satisfied.
After the head of the regiment left, Mao Qiang gave me a thumbs up, and I smiled proudly. Using the same set of later generations to deal with the leaders to deal with this simple volunteer army, I felt a little blushing.
I thought that life would be so uneventful, but I didn't expect that the situation would change before dawn the next day!
"Hurry, hurry! Keep up! ”
The regiment has received a mission, and we are about to change guards with the 337th Regiment and face the US artillery fire!
The 337th Regiment was defending an unnamed piece of high ground, and as soon as they walked up, they smelled a strong smell of burnt and blood, which made many veterans look dark.
The bodies of the wounded and comrades were evacuated first, as if the endless stretcher team silenced the advancing team.
In order not to be noticed by the enemy, there was only the clanging sound of water bottles and weapons colliding during the whole change of defense.
It took less than twenty minutes for us to all enter the position. The sky will slowly brighten, and the movement of enemies high underground will be clearly visible.
The first thing that came into view was the dense corpses of enemy soldiers on the gentle slopes of the high ground, the nearest of which was only a few meters away, which showed the cruelty of the battle in the past few days.
At the foot of the gentle slope is a small valley, opposite a high ground that is level with our position, about 800 meters away. Due to the lack of long-range artillery in the early stage of the Volunteer Army, the enemy troops on the opposite side arrogantly held binoculars and watched the wind and grass here at all times.
There was an earthen stove left by the 337th Regiment on the position, and several soldiers lit a fire and boiled soybeans with American steel helmets with the inner lining, and a faint green smoke drifted out of the trenches. In the past few days, chewing soybeans has caused all of us to have swollen cheeks, and many soldiers are ready to hurry up and get themselves a soft meal.
I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I couldn't say why, until I heard a muffled noise on the other side.
"Get out of that !!"
I yelled and ran over there, hoping it was still too late. Hearing my shout, the boiled soybeans turned to look at me suspiciously, as if they were still chewing on something.
"Bang Bang"
A few shells landed pinpoint into the trench, and the wave of air tossed me backwards, and a pitch-black steel helmet rolled to my hand, burning my hand.
These shells were just the beginning, and soon there was a thunderous shelling sound behind the enemy high ground, and countless shells rained down.
"Fast forward to the bomb hole!" Our platoon commander stood up and shouted back and forth in the trench until a shell exploded next to him, leaving a huge crater with smoke.
"Platoon commander!"
I rushed through the smoke and dust, found the platoon commander who had been blown up and was covered in blood, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into the bomb hole.
"Fast into the hole... Anti-artillery hole...! The platoon commander's voice grew lower and lower until there was no more movement. I let him go and followed the others into the gunhole.
The anti-artillery hole is not large, and only about 20 people can be squeezed in, and it looks very crowded inside. The brothers were very fast, and in the innermost corner, they rarely experienced such shelling, whether new or old, so they were still a little distracted.
I counted the number of people and saw that there was one person missing.
"What about the people of Juandong (Anthony's Chinese name)?" I asked Jiang Yitao.
"He's been with us all the time, and I don't know where he's gone," Jiang Yitao looked around, and finally shook his head and said.
"Made!" With a loud curse, I rushed out of the bomb hole, bent as far as I could, and searched the trenches, although I didn't think he would survive.
Enemy shells were poured on the positions like no money, so that I could not hear anything but explosions in my ears. In the past, I didn't feel much about fighting others with the US military, but when the shells fell on my head, I realized that the US military was really extravagant.
Anthony's life was quite large, and the intensive artillery fire actually did not hurt him. The guy was still lying in his original position, screaming, and his face was pale.
I reached out and grabbed him by the collar and tried to pull him into the bomb hole. Unexpectedly, this guy was so frightened that he lost his mind, shouted and pulled out his bayonet and stabbed me.
I dodged the bayonet and struck him in the neck with my palm, knocking him unconscious.
"Soft eggs!"
I looked at this guy's wet crotch and blushed for him, he really grew so big.
Back at the gun hole, I was instantly dumbfounded. The earth concealed the exit of the bomb hole, revealing only a few broken sections of wood.
"No !!"
I hurriedly knelt down and dug with my hands, don't have an accident, the horn only gave me three resurrection places!
Soon I dug up a severed hand, which must have been close to some warrior outside, and despite the worry in my heart, I continued to dig, and soon pulled out the first person.
It was a volunteer soldier I didn't know, and he was still breathing weakly, so I wiped the dirt off his nostrils and mouth with my sleeve and set it aside to continue digging.
Digging out the first survivor gave me a lot of comfort, since the soldiers outside are all right, then Jiang Yitao inside has a good chance of surviving!
The artillery fire of the US army stopped, and the nearby volunteer soldiers saw the situation here and immediately came to help. After the number of people increased, the excavation speed suddenly accelerated, and more and more soldiers who had passed out were rescued.
