Tunnel Warfare(3)
"Fire!" At the sound of an order, the artillery of the two artillery divisions of the Chinese People's Volunteers began to roar angrily, and thousands of shells hit the two highlands in Shangganling, and the fierce and accurate artillery fire blew up the flames of the two palm-sized highlands, and the arms and legs of the South Korean troops on the position were suddenly blown up, and the company commanders of the South Korean Army did not even say a word, and they were hit by a single artillery shot and disappeared, and the entire position was overwhelmed by artillery fire in a short time!
"Report!" The staff officer of the US army came over and reported that "the Chinese army suddenly fired a large number of artillery shells on the high ground, apparently to counterattack, and the South Korean army on the high ground asked for reinforcements!" "These idiots will call for reinforcements!" The commander of the 7th Division of the US Army said. "What then? Ignore them? The staff officer asked. Of course, we can't ignore it, I'm afraid that the Chinese's counterattack has already begun, and the highlands that have been won with great difficulty cannot be lost just like that, and the 9th Division of the South Korean Army is ordered to reinforce and block the shooting with artillery fire! "The commander of the 7th Division of the US Army ordered." Be! ”
"Rush!" The counterattack troops, led by the company commander, began to charge, and the artillery fire of the ghost artillery also began to open the way, and the shock troops rushed up with the shells! The troops in the tunnel were also ready at this time. "The time has come for us to counterattack, the first and second platoons will attack from the mouth of the tunnel in the east, and the third platoon will attack from the west, we must open the passage for the counterattack troops and take out all the fire points and machine gun forts!" The company commander in the tunnel looked at his three platoon commanders and said, "Although the surface position was given up by our order, it was also lost from us, and we must take it back!" ”
The first and second platoons were ordered to attack, but as soon as they left the tunnel, they encountered three machine-gun forts and one firing point of the South Korean army in order to contain the attack of the tunneling troops. "Who blew up these rocks?" The platoon leader asked. "I'll go!" One of the fighters next to him grabbed a few* and rushed forward. "Cover!" The platoon commander shouted, and as soon as the guns of the other fighters rang out, the fighter who rushed out was killed! "Who's on?" The platoon leader continued to shout. "I'll go!" Another warrior rushed forward, but before he could get far before he was killed again! "it!" The platoon leader scolded fiercely, "Give me *!" "Platoon commander, you can't go!" A soldier next to him grabbed the platoon commander! "That's right! You can't go! Another voice said. The platoon commander turned his head and saw that it was a soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back, obviously not his own platoon!
"Platoon commander, I am from the Eighth Artillery Division, and I was ordered to come up and direct the artillery attack!" The soldier said. "Isn't that? In such a small area, can your cannons hit accurately? The platoon commander said. Look at me! "That soldier took out the map and marked a few points on the map, and then grabbed the walkie-talkie and began to report, and made a report on the enemy's location!" Will it work? The platoon commander looked at the soldier suspiciously and said, "I remember that the artillery position was not reported by you, can you hit accurately?" "Platoon commander, look and see!" After the soldier finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the South Korean fire point and the machine-gun fort that were still spewing flames. Not a minute later, the platoon commander watched with amazement as the machine gun forts and firing points were blown up by a few shells!
"! What a god! Comrades, rush! The platoon leader shouted and rushed forward with his platoon. After eliminating the fire points and the machine-gun fort, the platoon commander rushed to the high ground with his men in one go! At this time, there were not many South Korean troops on the high ground, and the platoon commander and his soldiers had not been angry for a few days, so they went up in a posture of playing with their lives, and after a few spurs, the South Korean soldiers on the high ground were killed by the fierce and vicious volunteer platoon commander and his people in a hurry, and the high ground returned to the hands of the volunteers at one time! However, at this time, the platoon commander found that a large number of South Korean troops were climbing up behind the high ground, and hurriedly called the soldiers of the artillery division over and asked him to indicate the target and conduct blocking shots!
"Fire!" Wu Fatzi got the direction of the other party's reinforcements, and immediately ordered to open the artillery, and the swarm of heavy artillery shells smashed on the head of the South Korean army that was climbing up, Wu Fatzi's best thing is to cover the heavy artillery, a series of rapid shots, the South Korean army that was climbing up the flesh and blood of the bomb flew sideways, looking at the exploding shell wall pressed over, the South Korean army didn't care about anything else, turned around and ran, the rear of the warlord team did not have time to shoot, they saw the shells that were blowing up, so they didn't care about the retreating South Korean soldiers, Throw down your weapon and start running backwards yourself!
The situation was similar on another high ground, the pit to the company, under the leadership of the company commander, cooperated with the counterattack troops to launch a counterattack, and a company of South Korean soldiers could not stop the counterattack of the volunteers at all under the bombardment of artillery shells, and after a not very fierce hand-to-hand combat, the South Korean soldiers threw down everything they could throw away, turned around and ran away! The reinforcements of the South Korean army on this side were also very rapid under the command of the US army, but unfortunately, the reinforcements were about to rush to the high ground, and the artillery shells of Oh Fatzi arrived, and under the indiscriminate bombardment, the reinforcements here also turned around and ran back. The two heights of Shangganling returned to the hands of the volunteers, although the artillery fire of the US army was very fierce, but because it was night, the accuracy was not satisfactory, and there was no effective organization of the counterattack of the volunteers, and the two heights that had paid a great price were lost again!
When the Volunteer Army counterattacked, Van Vliet was sleeping, and before he went to bed, he had already written a report that Shangganling had been taken, and the battle ended in the victory of the United Nations Army! Although Van Vliet also knew that the Volunteers would definitely fight back, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the position was in his own hands to end this meaningless battle. But as soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by his own staff officer, who told him that the Chinese had successfully counterattacked!
"It's all stupid pigs!" Van Vliet angrily tore his report to shreds, angrily yelling and scolding, "Hold on for another day, even ten hours, and I can end this damn battle, but now I have to do it all over again!" "Commander, the Chinese have always been good at night battles, and it is already remarkable that the South Korean soldiers can hold out for a few days, and it is expected that they will be lost!" It's just that "the staff officer glanced at Van Vliet" It seems that it is not the right time to lose! "Tell the commander of the Seventh Division, no matter what he can't do with his hands, he must retake those two damn heights again, go quickly!" Van Vliet roared loudly! "Yes! Commander! "The staff officer didn't dare to say anything more!
"Ping!" The commander of the U.S. Seventh Division viciously shot the commander of the South Korean Army, who was still quibbling, and turned his head to look at the commander of the South Korean Army fiercely. Seeing that the regimental commander was beaten out, the division commander of the South Korean Army was terrified! "The Chinese held out for nine days, you only held out for two days and sixteen hours, you are not soldiers at all, just a bunch of waste, stupid, stupid pigs!" The commander of the 7th Division of the US Army blushed and scolded. "Sir, the Chinese have dug tunnels in the positions and have been harassing us, and when they counterattacked, the troops in those tunnels also played a great role..." The division commander of South Korea tried his best to explain. "We provided you with *,*,*, artillery and tanks, and you couldn't even destroy the enemy hiding in the hole!" The commander of the 7th Division of the US Army gritted his teeth and said.
"We... The division commander of the South Korean Army wanted to say anything more, but was rudely interrupted! "Don't make excuses for your failures, attack, attack! Just take the high ground back and you can explain! The commander of the Seventh Division of the U.S. Army looked at him coldly. Yes, sir, I'm going to resume the offensive and I'll definitely take back my position!" Said the division commander of South Korea. Then you don't want to go! The commander of the 7th Division of the US Army shouted!
"Report! The enemy is attacking again! "The chief of staff comes in and reports." It seems that the Americans are going to continue fighting! Commander Qin said, "It seems that the high ground will still be lost!" The firepower of the Americans is too fierce, and if you add fuel, there will not be enough people to fill it! "Then there is no way, since the Americans want to fight, then we can only accompany him to fight!" said the chief of staff. "This counterattack tunnel troops have played a great role, and future operations will still be dominated by tunnel operations!" Commander Qin said: "Send the engineer unit up to repair the tunnel!" ”
"That's not the way to go!" The commander of the 7th Division of the US Army said as he looked at the South Korean Army, which had climbed up again and again and driven down again and again. "What then, do you call our people?" The staff officer said next to him. "It's no different for our people to go up! However, our people can make a fuss on the hills next to these two heights, where there are a few hills where the Chinese did not send troops to guard, if they can occupy those hills, they can use mortars to carry out precise strikes on their main positions, so that they can cooperate with each other to take these two heights! The commander of the 7th Division of the U.S. Army said, "Send a group of troops and take advantage of the enemy's attention to the South Korean idiots, and go up!" "Yes!"
The three companies of the US army, divided into several combat squads, took advantage of the lively fighting in the main area, quietly climbed the small hills that no one occupied, and smoothly moved the mortars up, and then began to use binoculars and mortars to carry out accurate attacks on the main position! This tactical move was very useful, and the precision* successfully suppressed all kinds of firepower of the volunteers on the high ground, and greatly supported the attacking South Korean army! The artillery correspondent on the high ground immediately reported the situation back! After a few rounds of firing from the ghost artillery that had been instructed in the direction, it was said that the small hill occupied by the US troops had been flattened, and by the way, they had made a round of coverage against the attacking South Korean army, and the South Korean army withdrew again!
