Counterattack on all fronts (2)

After the counterattack on Shangganling began, thousands of artillery pieces of various kinds on the whole line carried out artillery bombardment of the enemy for four hours, and the large-scale artillery bombardment dealt a heavy blow to the defense system of the US army, especially the second echelon of the main peak of Shangganling that was ready to launch an attack, and the fortifications of the two main heights of 539.7 and 537.7 were hit the most seriously, and the second echelon behind the main peak heights was almost completely destroyed by the intensive fire of the rocket artillery division, and the fortifications of the two highlands were destroyed by 70 percent, especially Wu Fatzi's artillery, after several back and forth, The loss of more than half of the garrison's troops at 539.7 opened up the best basis for the attacking troops, and immediately after the artillery bombardment was over, the counterattacking troops began to counterattack.

The counterattacking troops rushed forward as fast as they could, and the American and South Korean troops in the fortifications immediately began to intercept and fire, and although they were subjected to heavy artillery fire, the fire was still very dense, and the attacking troops pressed their fire on the hillside. "Organize the Demoman, blow up that machine gun point for me!" The commander of the attack company shouted. "Yes!" The Demoman behind him was about to run out when he saw the machine-gun fortifications blocking him being blown away. "What's going on?" The company commander of the assault company asked. "Looks like it's us!" A fighter next to him shouted. The company commander fixed his eyes and saw that behind the enemy's fortifications, a military flag full of holes was flying in the wind! "It's the comrades of the tunnel troops!" The company commander glanced at it and said, "Rush up to the main peak of the True Ridge Highland!" "Rush!" The attacking force and the tunnel force converged and rushed together towards the high ground at the top of the mountain!

The two troops rushed not far away, and under a stone next to them, several pieces of rubble were pushed off, revealing the barrel of a gun. "Da Da Da!" The barrel of the gun suddenly erupted with fire, and the soldiers who rushed in front were immediately knocked to the ground. "What's going on?" The company commander glanced at the stone. "That's the enemy hollowed out the bottom of the stone and made it into a firepower point, such a firepower point can only be stuffed into it with a blasting canister for blasting and destruction, if it can't be effectively destroyed with a * bag or cannon, because he has a big stone on it!" The company commander of the tunnel unit said backwards, "Who's going to blow it up?" "I'll go!" A soldier who was not tall said a word, and jumped out directly with a blasting canister with a large charge. "Cover!" The company commander shouted, and the machine guns and * around him rang out one after another!

The soldier carried the blaster and quickly scurried to the bottom of the big rock, and the warrior pulled the lead of the blaster, and threw the blaster into it. But before he could leave, he found that the blaster had been thrown! He picked it up and threw it in again, but it was quickly stretched out again. "Let me in!" The soldier pressed the blaster with his shoulder, and stuffed the blaster into it again, and the American soldiers inside saw that the blaster with a large charge was about to explode, and they didn't care about anything, so they turned around and wanted to run out of the fortifications, but before they could react, the blaster had exploded, and the fortifications and the volunteer soldiers died together!

"Well done!" The commander of the assault company said as he looked at the soldier who had perished with the enemy's fortifications. "Rush up and avenge Xiao Liu!" The fighters of the pit company rushed forward again! "Rush forward!" The attacking company followed. Two companies rushed to the summit along the ridge! At the top of the peak, a heavy machine gun was being loaded, ready to stop the onrushing Volunteer attack force, but the heavy machine gunner did not realize that he had appeared in the sight of a cannon. "Take aim and take out that heavy machine gun with one shot!" The ghost cannon said to his gunner, "If you can shoot it out with one shot, you will be the leader of your squad!" "Then I'm the squad leader now!" After the gunner took aim, he reached out and fixed the position of the cannon, then picked up the cannonball and stuffed it in! "Look at me!" The gunner pulled the triggering cord and a cannonball flew out! The ghost cannon looked at the machine gun fortification on the top of the peak with a telescope, and the American soldiers in the fortification were already preparing to shoot, when a flash explosion blew the fortification into the sky!

"Good fight!" The ghost artillery was very satisfied with its own gunner, and seeing that the machine gun was knocked out, the troops quickly rushed forward, but unfortunately they didn't rush far before the troops all lay on the ground, obviously suppressed by the enemy's fire! "Okay, look at me!" The ghost cannon ran back to his position, then called the gunners of the five guns together, and after aiming, let the five guns shell at the angle they told them, raising each shell by half a point! The five cannons began to fire according to the orders of the ghost cannons! The five-gun shells hit the Americans' defenses and fortifications along the trenches on the top of the hill, and the Americans who saw it were stunned and had no choice but to retreat!

On the other side, the highland attack battle was not very smooth, although Wu Fatzi's heavy artillery firepower was very scary, but in the face of the pillbox trench fort, his heavy artillery still had no way to guarantee that it could be completely destroyed, and when the counterattacking troops attacked the high ground, they also encountered the same situation, a very tricky pillbox blocked the way for the attacking troops to advance. The leader of the demolition team has blown up several pillboxes and fortifications in a row, and he has been wounded in seven places, so it stands to reason that he should have withdrawn from it, but looking at the tricky pillboxes in which position, if they are not blown up, they will definitely cause damage to their troops. The team leader took out two *, which was his last explosives, and the team leader approached the bunker alertly, and threw out two *, and the two * accurately landed next to the fortification, and after an explosion sounded, the fortification was blown down!

Seeing that the fortifications were blown down, the team leader happily planned to retreat, but at this time, only half of the remaining fortifications erupted into flames again. The leader of the demolition team looked at the machine gun that sounded again and suppressed the attacking troops, and then looked at the east was already white, and the sky was about to dawn, if he didn't take advantage of this time to take the enemy's position, and when the day dawned, the enemy's air support came, then it would be impossible to complete the counterattack! The leader of the demolition team, with his incomparable hatred for the enemy and the fearless spirit of the revolution, stubbornly crawled to the firing point, rushed at the muzzle of the enemy's flaming tongue, puffed out his chest, opened his arms, and pounced. In an instant, the enemy's spewing tongue of fire was extinguished, and the roaring machine gun was silent. The leader of the demolition team used his young life to open the way for the troops to advance victoriously, and his unit quickly occupied the position and annihilated the defenders!

Under the cover of artillery, the various companies launched an attack on the set target, and because the artillery fire was very well prepared, the Americans were very reluctant to fight a night battle, so the counterattack on the night of 30 March was very smooth, the two main peak heights of 537.7 and 537.9 and several sub-positions around these two heights, the guard positions and sentry posts that went out were all recaptured, the surface positions of the entire main battlefield of Shangganling were all recaptured, two companies of the US troops were annihilated, and one battalion of the South Korean Army was eliminated. The counterattack on the main front can be said to be a great success. In particular, the heavy losses of the second echelon allowed the Americans to not launch a single counterattack on the main position for a whole day!

Just when the counterattack on the main position was going smoothly, the first reaction of the US army was Cowen, the commander of the US Seventh Division. Cowen, who was dizzy from the shells, stood up, shook his head vigorously, and it took a lot of effort to get the sensory organs to tell him that the Chinese cannon sound had stopped! "Divisional commander! The Chinese artillery stopped! The staff officer staggered over and said. Check the battle damage, casualties and report immediately! Cowan said. Be! The staff officer agreed. After about half an hour, Cowan heard the report that his position was almost completely destroyed, but the anti-artillery fortifications were still very strong, and the shells did not kill many people, and he was able to go into battle after a short rest!

"It is precisely because you gave the order for the whole army to enter the fortifications that our combat effectiveness was preserved, great!" Cowen's staff officer said, "We can attack now!" "Our target is the Chinese's position No. 6, they must not have thought that we will be able to launch a counterattack in such a short time, and they will definitely be able to catch them off guard!" Command! Two battalions will join a division of the Allied Army and launch an attack on position number six! Cowan also said excitedly. But this can only Cowan was still shocked a lot, because the two artillery divisions on the opposite side needed to cover the counterattack of the main position, so they once again received an order to bombard, and the artillery of the two divisions broke out with a huge roar, and the opposite side of position No. 6 was instantly covered!

"These bastards!" Cowan was once again overwhelmed by the artillery, and by the time he had recovered his strength, a company of the South Korean Army that had just been assembled for the attack was covered, suffered heavy losses, and had been ordered to withdraw from the battle! "Shall we wait any longer?" The staff officer, who had just gotten up from the ground after being shaken, asked. "No, we must put in a counterattack as soon as possible, the Chinese will definitely put in a counterattack in the direction of the main position, and we can only contain their counterattack if we put into the offensive as soon as possible!" Cowan said. "Yes! I'll arrange it right away! The staff officer said.

"Are we losing a lot?" Van Vliet anxiously asked about the battle situation ahead on the phone, and the person on the phone told him that the main position in Shangganling had been lost, and now the Chinese had occupied the position in Shangganling, and the second echelon of the American army had been hit hard, and now there was an urgent need for logistical supplies, medical personnel and new infantry regiments or divisions, as well as tanks, artillery planes and all conceivable support, otherwise there was no guarantee that the Chinese would not launch a larger-scale counterattack!
