Chapter 954: It's Dawn

...... dawn, the tragic situation of the entire Yunshan temporary airfield was also revealed in front of the eyes of all US soldiers. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Chief of Staff Holmes was no longer able to work in his command tent, and he had to stay in a semi-underground fortification hastily constructed by sappers to read the map.

The ground was littered with craters, and the condition was terrible. After a night of fierce fighting, the entire 8th Cavalry Regiment was cut into several parts. The largest part of them was the regimental headquarters at the airport, but it had become full of wounded soldiers and wailing.

"Maybe I should have followed Palmer's advice last night to break out." Chief of Staff Holmes pinched his forehead in pain, if Colonel Palmer was disgraced by a laxative, he would lose his honor because of a defeat.

No one expected that the situation would become the way it is now, and the biggest cause of this was the Chinese communist army unit that set a trap to attack the headquarters of the Eighth Regiment last night. Chief of Staff Holmes was already cursing the opposing commander as a 'goddamn cold-blooded executioner'.

If it is an American unit, ten percent of the casualties should be withdrawn from the battlefield. But last night, the enemy commander who attacked and harassed not only slaughtered the American troops, but also coldly ordered his subordinates to launch suicide attacks, and did not retreat or surrender when more than half of the casualties were killed.

When he realized that the enemy's attack was a trap, Chief of Staff Holmes decisively intensified his attack and threw his reserves into it. The troops sent in the follow-up have also broken through the opponent's rudimentary defenses many times, and he has even seen the dawn of victory.

However, ......, when the 'Pershing' tank was crushing the enemy's defenses, enemy soldiers with explosives bags would jump out of the trench and blow them up. This constant unfolding scene began to shake His Excellency the Chief of Staff's confidence in victory.

The American GIs were also brave, but this was based on a strong firepower advantage, and it was really rare to see that soldier who had the courage to sacrifice himself in the face of adversity in exchange for victory. But last night, His Excellency the Chief of Staff saw many enemy soldiers doing this.

If it's just the bravery of flesh and blood, it can be suppressed with enough firepower. Your Excellency the Chief of Staff has at most one or two admiration for those brave enemy soldiers, and the fruits of victory that should be enjoyed should be enjoyed. But last night there was a butcher hiding in the dark with a dead black gun.

That damn butcher, damn it, damn it, damn it......, butcher!

The thought of that elusive enemy tank made His Excellency the Chief of Staff grind his teeth with hatred. I have never seen such a ruthless person, I have never seen such a cunning and difficult person, I have never seen such a cruel and ferocious person.

It was clearly a captured U.S. M4 tank, and the person driving it never confronted the U.S. military. It always hides in the darkness in the distance, even when its comrades are being killed by the American army.

But if you think it's cowardly, you're wrong. It will use every opportunity to strike at the US military. As long as you see a sudden burst of fire on the battlefield, it must have been made by it.

Chief of Staff Holmes ordered a platoon of tanks to remove it, but four tanks chased into the night, and soon became four torches in the night, one of which was itself. After a while it returned to the battlefield again, already triumphantly driving an M26 'Pershing'.

According to the radio call, His Excellency the Chief of Staff only knew that the other side had destroyed a 'Pershing' in a sneak attack, and then it was chased by the remaining 'Pershing' and had nowhere to escape.

But God knows how that cunning guy used his 'Sherman' as bait when he was on the verge of desperation, sneaked up and grabbed a 'Pershing' and turned the tables. In short, when one after another 'Pershing' and 'Greyhound' are blown up in the dark night, it means which guy is back.

A whole platoon of tanks, plus a bunch of 'Greyhound' armored vehicles, personnel carriers and trucks, is now mostly turned into scrap metal braving the night. Nearly half of them were killed by the terrible Butcher of the Night, and very few were able to escape back to the airport.

Moreover, this butcher also has a strong sense of revenge, and when it was determined that the US airfield had lost the ability to organize another attack, it continued to shell around the airfield all night. The flares and grenades that kept going all night didn't kill or injure many American soldiers, but they had too much impact on morale.

In particular, it found the regimental headquarters of the airport with a sharp eye, and blew up the command tent with one shot. This grenade completely deprived the Eighth Regiment of its central command capability, and not only more than 10 radio stations were blown up, but also many officers from the division headquarters were also killed.

Chief of Staff Holmos, who survived, did not feel that he was lucky, he still had thousands of men in his hands, of which the personnel of the third battalion were basically intact. But although the people are still there, a large amount of equipment has either been destroyed or lost, and everyone is in fear.

Outside the airport, the entire two regiments of the Chinese communist army have been surrounded by several thousand people. It was completely impossible for the 8th Cavalry Regiment to break through again. But it doesn't matter, it's dawn now, and it's finally dawn!

A trace of fish belly white appeared on the edge of the sky, and the morale of the US troops at the entire airport immediately rose. All the soldiers who were still alive were beaming, knowing that when the night had passed, the mighty American Air Force would come back to their aid.

The Air Force will bring supplies, will take away the wounded, will beat those hateful yellow monkeys. Ah......, praise the American Air Force!

"Sir, we've been in contact with the Eighth Air Force, and their first P51 fighter jets will arrive over us in ten minutes, hoping that we will indicate the target." The liaison officer in front of the radio was full of joy.

"Good, very good!" Chief of Staff Holmes said several times, and his mind that had been depressed all night was finally relieved, and even the dry and cold air in North Korea was clear, "Fortunately, we still have strong air power, otherwise I really don't know what to do?" ”

Without His Excellency the Chief of Staff saying too much, the remnants of the Eighth Regiment trapped at the airport spontaneously cheered after receiving the news. Especially when the P51 with its roaring engine flew over the airport, many people even got up from their bunkers and waved their clothes into the sky.

Looking at the potholed ground, the P51 captain who led the team greeted the army brothers who were struggling on the ground on the radio, and then asked where the enemy was? They had received news from last night that the 8th Regiment had been violently beaten all night, and that they would take off to come to their aid as soon as it was dawn.

Flying, circling, lowering altitude, and with the 50 machine guns ready to fire, eight P51s are about to start sweeping the ground in God Mode, while saving the hapless Army soldiers on the ground.

But before the pilots of the P51 group were happy for a few seconds, the ground near the airport suddenly tore off several camouflage nets, and more than a dozen M16 half-track air defense vehicles also aimed their guns at the sky, and they fired first.

Not far away, several 90-millimeter anti-aircraft guns with their guns uncovered also began to spew flames, and a dense rain of bullets swept across the sky. The pilot of the P51, who was flying low, was about to climb as soon as he was frightened, but by this time it was too late, and two fighters had already hit.

Fuck ......, damn the army, you actually threw all the anti-aircraft equipment to the enemy. I curse you all to hell!
