Although Liu Hai tried his best to prepare for artillery fire and weakened the offensive momentum of the US army with all his might, after the US offensive began, relying on the cover of the air force, he still threw an astonishing number of * and artillery shells at the positions of the volunteers. Within an hour, 9,000 shells were fired, more than 200 shells, and the man-hours on Position 6 were basically completely destroyed. More than 10,000 rounds of ammunition also fell on the main peak of Shangganling, * hundreds, and the position on the right side was about the same, and after more than two hours of firepower preparation, the US army's counterattack began!

The South Korean army in front was driven by the US troops, walking in front with guns, followed by US tanks and a large number of US troops, the US artillery was still extending, the explosion on the No. 6 position was still continuing, and the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion and 1st Company of the 93rd Regiment had already rushed out of their bunkers and rushed to the trenches! "Fight when you get closer!" The company commander looked at the dense South Korean army and the American army below, and shouted at his soldiers. "Boom!" There was an explosion, a tank shell exploded next to a machine gun, and the machine gunner was pushed out by the blast of air! "Put the machine gun on the ground and bring it up when you fight!" The company commander looked at the machine gunner and shouted: "Heavy machine gun camouflaged!" Demoman prepares, heavy machine gun covers the Demoman attacking tank! ”

"Fire!" The company commander saw that the South Korean troops had already rushed to within 100 meters, and at the sound of an order, the rifles and light machine guns on the position opened fire together, and the South Korean soldiers who rushed in front were knocked to the ground, and the South Korean soldiers were very clever and lay on the ground. “*！” The company commander shouted, and hundreds of people called up, and after a burst of explosions, the South Korean army wanted to withdraw, but after the US troops behind fired a burst of gunfire, the South Korean army did not continue to retreat! In order to cheer up the South Korean army, the US tanks pressed on, opened fire while firing guns, and pounced on them with great momentum!

"Demoman prepare! Heavy machine gun cover! The company commander shouted, and the camouflaged heavy machine gun suddenly opened fire, and the Demoman rushed forward with *Bao and *. The machine guns of the heavy machine gunners were very good, and the South Korean troops who watched the momentum of the American tanks rushed around the American tanks, but the American tanks could not block the machine gun bullets for every South Korean army. The positions of the heavy machine guns of the volunteers were arranged in a very orderly manner, and the South Korean Army thought that everything would be fine if it hid behind the American tanks, but the heavy machine gun fire from the flanks knocked the South Korean Army back again and again. At this time, the Demoman rushed directly and pounced on the American tank, which had no infantry cover. A couple of packs * and Soviet heavy * were thrown up, three American tanks were blown off their tracks and *thrown into the cockpit, and then with an explosion the tank emitted black smoke!

Seeing that their soldiers and various firearms were cooperating very closely, the US troops had not yet rushed up, and when they saw that the tanks were destroyed and the South Korean troops were dead again, they suddenly lost their morale and turned around and withdrew, and the company commander happily waved his pistol and said, "We fought well, as long as we cooperate well, what about the Americans, they must not obediently lie down under us!" "Company commander, be careful!" A squad leader next to him grabbed the company commander and knocked him down, and an explosion exploded where the company commander was standing, followed by the crackling of American shells. "Hidden! Into the defensive holes! The company commander raised his head and shouted. Rumble! "The shelling of the American army has started again!

"How's the situation up front?" Liu Hai looked at the artillery reconnaissance machine in the sky a little depressed and asked his staff officer. "The front fight is okay, the artillery of the Americans is very fierce, but the troops in front of us are experienced veterans, especially the No. 6 position, the 93rd Regiment fought very well, and repelled six enemy counterattacks in a few hours, destroying seven enemy tanks!" The staff officer replied. "How's the situation with the various artillery divisions?" Bangs asked. "The enemy's planes are watching very closely, not only the artillery reconnaissance planes but also the patrolling bombers, and now the artillery divisions of the whole line dare not take the lead!" The staff officer replied. "It's okay!" Liu Hai looked at the US planes in the sky with a telescope and said, "Their high-intensity surveillance bombing is a waste of aircraft sorties, and the attack does not have sufficient air support, they will not be able to break through our defense line, and when the time comes, they will be transferred back to support their army attack, and as soon as they leave, we can do it!" "Yes! I tell everyone to get ready for battle! The staff officer said.

"This won't work!" Cowan watched his soldiers being driven down again, and said to his staff officer, "Ask for air support, increase, and tell Commander Van Vliet that if we don't have enough air support, we can't capture the Chinese's positions!" "Our air force is now targeting the Chinese artillery positions, and Commander Van Vliet has concentrated a large number of aircraft to monitor and eliminate the Chinese artillery positions, and the focus of our current attack is on the direction of the main peak of Shangganling, and we are afraid that we will not be able to take care of it!" The staff officer said. "You can tell General Fan Van Vliet that as long as you give me enough air support, I will definitely be able to take position six!" Cowan said. "Yes!" The staff officer said.

"How's the main position going?" Van Vliet asked, after reading Cowan's report. "There's no new news yet!" The staff officer said, "Don't worry, our artillery fire was ten times stronger than it is now, and it took so many battles to occupy their surface positions, and besides, the terrain of the two heights is unfavorable to us, and it will take longer to organize an attack!" Now our Air Force is also not fully assisting, so it will take a little time! "The Chinese artillery has not fired all this time?" Van Vliet asked. "Nope!" The staff officer replied. "In this way, some of the fighters on the left and right sides will be withdrawn to bomb the enemy's positions, but the surveillance in the direction of the main positions cannot be canceled!" Van Vliet said.

In fact, there are not many fighter and bomber squadrons used by the US military to directly support the front line, because the air force is the killer weapon of the US army, and most of the air force fighters are used to bomb the rear supply routes of the volunteers, especially the blockade of railways and highways. Although Liu Hai's several surprise movements were successful, it was only Liu Hai's proper use of tactics and super good luck, in fact, most of the volunteer logistics units on the railway and road transportation lines would withstand a large number of * and strafing by the US army every day. It is precisely because a large number of fighters are used to attack and block the rear transport lines, so there are naturally not many fighters used to directly support the front line, just like now, if Van Vliet wants to comprehensively suppress the artillery of the volunteers, then the direct support of the air force to the front line will be reduced, which will increase the defense of the volunteers, and it can be regarded as reducing the attack power of the US army.

"Report, the enemy's air suppression of the positions on the left and right flanks has decreased, and now only part of the artillery reconnaissance aircraft is still monitoring in the sky!" The chief of staff reported the latest air situation to Liu Hai. "Tell the artillery division on the left to concentrate on bombarding the US positions opposite Position No. 6 and attack them by concentrating fire and bombing them at close range! Five rounds in the first wave, ten rounds in the second wave! "Liu Hai heard that the air suppression was revoked, and immediately issued an operational order to the artillery division behind the No. 6 position, the No. 6 position is very important, the Americans must have gathered heavy troops over there to prepare for the attack, and now that the air suppression has been revoked, a large-scale attack will definitely be launched, and if you shoot intensively at the enemy at this time, you will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!

Liu Hai's estimate was not wrong, and after supplementation, Division Commander Cowen had already assembled two US regiments, three South Korean divisions, and two tank squadrons at Position No. 6, intending to use the South Korean Division to launch a rotational attack on Position No. 6 when air support arrived, and wait until the defenders of Position No. 6 were exhausted and exhausted, and then dispatch American troops to launch a final attack. Just after the air suppression was withdrawn, the two artillery divisions arranged on the left immediately launched an attack on the opposite side of position No. 6 in accordance with Liu Hai's attack order. The shells of the two artillery divisions successfully hit the attack positions of the South Korean Army, a large number of South Korean troops were killed and wounded by the shells, the South Korean troops who were about to launch the attack were demoralized because of the sudden blow, and the commander of the South Korean Army who had been mobilized before the war was killed, and the offensive was forced to be cancelled!

"Bastard!" When Cowan heard that his attacking troops had been bombed, he never expected that as soon as the air suppression was canceled, the opponent's shells would be smashed over, but in the face of reality, there was no way, Cowan could only decide to change the attacking force and continue to attack! Another South Korean regiment was driven to the front, and this time Cowan did not wait, ordering his artillery and air support to immediately launch a surprise attack on position six. The * and artillery shells of the US army fell on the No. 6 position like raindrops, and the volunteer soldiers who had become accustomed to the fire coverage of the US army held their guns and waited for the artillery fire to end. After about half an hour, the U.S. firepower was ready to end, and the South Korean army climbed up again!

Just after Cowan ordered the attack on position No. 6, explosions also sounded on the main peak position in front of Sangganling, and the offensive with the South Korean Army as the vanguard of the attack also began! However, the front of Shangganling is still under the air suppression of US planes, the main peak position is narrow, and the firepower coverage effect is good; if there is no certain artillery support, it is difficult to hold the main peak position, and even if it is forcibly held, it can only use the tactic of adding fuel to return to the state of the early stage of the campaign.

"Division commander, now we urgently need our artillery support on the main peak position, but the enemy's air suppression is very tight, we can't just wait!" The chief of staff looked at the smoke on the main peak position and asked anxiously. "Gather all the anti-aircraft guns together, then ignite and breathe smoke, and when the American planes are attracted over, the artillery will provide intermittent support!" Bangs thought for a while and said. "But that kind of support is very limited!" said the chief of staff. "It's better than nothing!" Liu Hai glanced at the US military planes in the sky and said.
