Dead Fight to the End (2)

"General, our reinforcements have gone up!" Staff officer reports to Van Vliet. Van Vliet was banging on the table at this time looking at the number of reinforcements. "Jack, do you think we need to fight any longer?" Van Vliet said. "To be honest, I don't think we should still fight, these two mountains are not so important at all, not to mention that from the current situation, the enemy has also increased his troops, if you pay too many casualties because of such a worthless mountain, it will be worth the loss! It's better to attack the Pingkang Valley directly! The staff officer said. But the problem now is that these two hills are also related to our governors and domestic campaigns, and our president's military think tank says that these two hills are very important, and if they are taken down, they can gain unprecedented initiative! Van Vliet said as he knocked on the table. It's completely speculation, he must have used the world map when he looked at the map, even if he hit it down and then went to the Pingkang Valley, there would be dozens of kilometers! The staff officer said unceremoniously.

"The problem is that our president, Mr. President, believed it, and he was counting on us to win these two heights smoothly in order to add points to his campaign, but now even his opponent Eisenhower felt that we should fight a victory and give his background, the American army!" Van Vliet said. "General, with all due respect, this offensive plan was proposed by you!" The staff officer said. "That's right!" Van Vliet said, "I originally thought that the Chinese would not be here to make a big deal with us, but I did not expect that the Chinese did not have the slightest intention of making concessions, and increased troops and people, in this case, as you said, even if it is defeated, it will not be worth the loss!" "Can we suggest to the above to stop?" The staff officer asked. "The will of the two presidential candidates is not so easy to change, you know that politicians only look at interests, never ask whether they live or die!" Van Vliet said.

"If that's the case, can we use some channels or methods to get the Chinese not to fight with us here?" The staff officer said tentatively. "Persuade the Chinese to retreat? This is even harder than persuading politicians to give up their interests! Van Vliet said. We can release one of their prisoners of war and let their men persuade their commanders, I believe that the Chinese are not stupid, it is not cost-effective to fight to the death with us in such a place! The staff officer said. This place cannot be said to be unimportant, as long as we can take here, the Chinese's position can be fully seen by us, from here to the Pingkang Valley the Chinese will have no danger to defend, if you fight alone, the Chinese will lose! Van Vliet said. Don't you want to fight? "I'm really a little hesitant, don't attack if the reinforcements go up, I'm going to make a report!" Van Vliet said.

"General Clark, this is the report that Van Vliet just handed in, and he said that he hoped to give up attacking the Chinese in Shangganling!" Clark's chief of staff gave the report to Clark. Clark took it and looked at it, then put down the report and thought about it, then looked at the chief of staff and said, "Do you know why he doesn't want to fight?" "That's the case, according to the latest situation we have, the Chinese have increased their troops again, it seems that they do not intend to give up there, and want to fight with us, I think General Van Vliet originally just hoped that the Chinese would take the initiative to give up there, I heard that his plan for this attack has a nickname called Xiaoben Management, and now both sides have increased their troops, and Xiaoben Management has become a big deal, maybe this situation has exceeded his campaign expectations, to be honest, I also think those two highlands are not worth fighting!" said the chief of staff.

"But now it's different, our Mr. President wants to add points to his party through this campaign, and General Eisenhower wants to win this battle, and General Van Vliet won't know this, he just wants me to poke this hornet's nest!" Clark said, placing the report on the table. "What then? Are we going to react domestically? The chief of staff asked. No need, call him back directly and tell him that this battle must be fought and won, there is no room for victory! Clark said. That's it? The chief of staff said. Just reply and tell him that I'll send more planes to support him! Clark said.

"What is the use of airplanes? If the planes could take away the Chinese, then we would have occupied China long ago! Van Vliet thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let people persuade the Chinese to surrender on the forward position, so that they will retreat!" "I don't think it's useful, the Chinese won't retreat!" The staff officer said bluntly: "I think the current situation is unchangeable, not only the Chinese cannot retreat, but we cannot retreat, once we retreat, the Chinese who have come up with reinforcements will definitely counterattack, and it will be difficult to say at that time!" "Yes!" Van Vliet regretted his impulsiveness a little, this battle is fought as it is now, and the final result is unknown! "Since this is already the case, then simply let go and fight well, I don't believe that the Chinese are iron-beaten!" Van Vliet said with determination.

"Fire!" The artillery and infantry of the US army received the order to attack at the same time, and the artillery of the US army bore the brunt of the attack, using 350 guns to carry out another round of crazy bombardment on the two heights, and groups of shells of various calibers smashed on the two heights. The explosion of the artillery shells has not ended, and the planes in the sky are coming again, and all kinds of * and rockets are still solidified on the position, and the position is suddenly plunged into a sea of fire, and the sea of fire is mixed with the earth-shattering explosion of aviation. The fortifications on the position have long been blown to the end, even the stones on the ground have been jumped to the ground, and the trees and vegetation have been burned bare! After the Americans' firepower was ready, the volunteer soldiers in tattered clothes on the position stubbornly came out of the soil and waited for the enemy's attack!

"Reload!" Wu Fatzi and the ghost cannon gave orders at the same time, and one by one the shells were loaded into the barrel! The liaison officer guarding the walkie-talkie listened nervously to the call on the position, as long as there was a call on the position, the artillery fire would arrive immediately! The commander on the position watched as the US and South Korean troops climbed up again, and hurriedly reported back the range and distance of the fire attack. After seeing the distance and position, Liu Hai immediately ordered the artillery to be fired, and the artillery of the two regiments began to roar, and the shells flew towards the front of the position with a whistling shell, and the American and South Korean troops were immediately overwhelmed by artillery fire! However, after all, the artillery volume is limited, and it cannot be compared with the superior firepower of the Americans, and although the fighting is very fierce, it can only cause some casualties to the US troops and the South Korean troops scattered all over the mountains, and cannot completely block the attack of the US troops, so it is still difficult to avoid the battle on the position!

"Are Americans crazy?" Liu Hai looked at the US planes flying in the sky, and really couldn't figure out how such a battle could be fought on such a scale: "Just two highlands, is it like this?" Is this going to be a world war? "Absolutely!" A voice came from behind him and said, "Master Liu, you can't underestimate the enemy!" "Chief of Staff? What are you doing here? Bangs hurriedly saluted. That's what I'm going to tell you about! The chief of staff said, "We have received accurate information, the Americans have decided to meet us here, the commander let me tell you, first, do not underestimate the enemy, and second, take this opportunity to deal a severe blow to the arrogance of the Americans!" "But here..." Liu Hai pointed to the position and said, "Even if they don't fight here, they still have a chance, why do they want to meet us in this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place?" ”

"The specific situation is very complicated, and it also involves contradictions within the United States, anyway, the Americans are going to take our position by force, as long as we hold on to it for one day, the Americans will be uncomfortable for one day, and it will be more and more uncomfortable day by day! After we reported the situation, Shiji's order was that he would never take a step back, and never give up even an inch of position! The chief of staff said to Liu Hai. Rest assured, Chief, we will never let the enemy in! Bangs said. By the way, there is another thing, we learned that the attack of the Americans on the positions was not lightly frustrated, and they sent South Korean commandos, intending to infiltrate and engage in our logistics and artillery, you have to be careful! The staff officer said, "Don't worry, chief of staff, if he comes, I guarantee that he won't be able to go back!" Bangs said.

"Hit!" The U.S. military and the South Korean army finally rushed to the position, and the rifle machine guns on the position suddenly rang out, * smashed down like raindrops, and some of the American troops who were climbing up were hit, and some were pressed to the ground by bullets and couldn't lift their heads, and they didn't dare to open their eyes, because as soon as they opened their eyes, there was a very high probability that a * would appear in front of them, and the Americans were most afraid of *, and the * of the volunteers were thrown out like not asking for money, and many American and South Korean soldiers were killed and injured by the explosion, and what was even more terrifying was the cluster*, which exploded a large area, and it was impossible to prevent it! As soon as the attacking troops withdrew, there was another artillery attack, fireworks flew on the position, shrapnel flew sideways, and the volunteers who had become accustomed to it once again drilled into the tunnel.

"Commander, this American is really energetic, he attacked sixteen times in one day, and there are only four fighters left in the two positions!" The chief of staff came in to report. "Take advantage of the night to send people up to change the guard, transport the wounded, replenish ammunition and weapons!" Commander Qin said, "Also, there are still a few small hills on both sides of these two positions, send troops to seize them all and defend them, and try to disperse the enemy's artillery fire and offensive forces as much as possible!" "Yes!" The chief of staff said: "Do you think the Americans will increase their troops?" "Regardless of whether he increases his troops or not, we have to defend our positions to the death, and he Americans still want to use my Qin someone here to find some face to go back and solve their internal contradictions, but there is no door!" The commander of the Qin army said loudly, "Sue the troops who change defenses, no, tell everyone who participates in the battle, just eight words, every inch of land will be fought!" Fight to the end! ”
