After capturing several blocking positions in a row, Lao Fan obviously discovered that our army's equipment was extremely backward, so the battlefield killer - the tank was dispatched.

According to Lao Fan's idea: you are a light infantryman, what if there are many positions, there are no anti-tank weapons, I will directly flatten you with tanks!

Unfortunately, Van Vleet once again underestimated the will to fight of the Volunteer Army.

Don't have heavy weapons? Then use a dynamite pack! Without the slightest hesitation, our great volunteer soldiers carried their explosives bags on their backs, rolled down the hillside to the enemy's tanks, and with a bang they perished with the enemy.

The comrades behind him didn't even have time to grieve, grabbed another explosive bag and stared at another tank trying to go uphill.

Although the soldiers of the Volunteer Army, with their fearless sacrifice, succeeded in blasting one tank after another, many more fell on the way down the hillside.

And as one soldier after another fell, one by one the blocking positions also changed hands.

Almost every 20 minutes, the commander of the 189th Division would receive a battle report from the front: "Position No. 1 is lost, Position No. 2 is lost...... Position 37 is lost."

Lost, yes, there were reports of lost positions, but no reports of casualty figures. The division commander knew: the position would only be considered lost if the last fighter on the position completely fell.

As of June 2, the battle had entered its third day, and more than half of the more than 200 large and small positions built by Cai Changyuan had been lost. Annoyed, Van Vleet once again increased his firepower and troops, and once again launched a strong attack on the commanding heights of Seed Mountain, which held the road.

The importance of this commanding height is obviously self-evident. There are also more than 100 volunteers stationed in the blocking position here, and the weapons and equipment are also the best in the whole division. However, after two days and two nights of almost non-stop fighting, the ammunition and food on the position had been exhausted, and even the cat's ears had been blown up.

The huge roar reminded the division commander Cai Changyuan - the commanding heights of Seed Mountain cannot be lost!

Several outlying positions were abandoned, and the repatriated troops, together with the remaining guards, staff officers, and even cooking squads at the division headquarters, as well as the wounded soldiers who were less wounded, formed a death squad to launch a counterattack on the commanding heights of Seed Mountain.

The mobilization in front of the station is simple, more like an announcement of orders: recapture the commanding heights of Seed Mountain and hold it!

"Is there a problem?" A hoarse voice came out of Cai Changyuan's mouth, continuous battles, almost non-stop orders, not only consuming Cai Changyuan's mental power, but also his voice.

"Commander, can you send a potato, I'm so hungry." In the death squad, a soldier on crutches with a wounded leg whispered.

In just an instant, tears were already filling Cai Changyuan's eyes. What a good soldier this is! Cai Changyuan gritted his teeth with a tight mouth, he didn't even dare to look at the group of soldiers in front of him, as a division commander, he couldn't let tears flow.

What a good soldier this is! In the face of life and death, all you want is a potato.

Cai Changyuan didn't want his soldiers to eat enough to go to war again, even he himself had not finished his rice for three days, at this time Cai Changyuan wanted to pull out a potato from his stomach, even a grain of rice, but unfortunately he didn't, not a single potato, not a grain of rice.

What a good soldier this is! Cai Changyuan didn't answer the words of the war, there was a hint of tremor in his hoarse voice, and the "ruthless" Cai Changyuan finally ordered: "Go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, turning around, the warriors walked towards the Seed Mountain.

The artillery in the distance was still roaring, shells scattered around him with rubble; The machine guns overhead had been set up, and the dense bullets rained down on him.

The horn of the charge had already sounded, and the soldiers of the death squad formed groups of three or three, forming a battle formation, and launched a decisive charge towards the heights of Seed Mountain.

"Rush up and take back to the high ground!" That was the only thought on the minds of the soldiers.

However, under the suppression of the enemy's heavy firepower, the soldiers of the death squad, who had no advantage, were almost in a desperate situation.

Rao is like this, and the death squad still relies on it

Fearlessly sacrificing his spirit, he succeeded in recapturing his position at the cost of losing more than half. It's just that before they have time to trim up, the next round of joint *** offensive has been relaunched.

For a time, the Seed Mountain Highlands fell into a repeated tug-of-war.

And this saw, it was another day and night. Finally, in the process of repeatedly fighting for the commanding heights of Seed Mountain, when Division Commander Cai was determined to personally lead the last death squad to recapture the high ground, the order for the military headquarters to retreat finally arrived......

At this time, it was already June 3rd. At this time, the strength of the division had been sharply reduced to just over 1,000 people, and more than 1,000 people were still holding their positions. That is, Van Vliet spent three days and a huge amount of ammunition, but he failed to break through the resistance of the 189th Division after all.

Behind the 189th Division, the brother units of the Volunteer Army had already built fortifications, and the 189th Division successfully completed his blocking mission. It can be said that the heroic 189th Division successfully slowed down the enemy's attack with the lives and flesh of the martyrs, and made outstanding contributions to the overall victory.

How can you ask you?

In the face of such a critical situation, the accomplishment of such a feat depends on nothing else, that is, the fearless spirit of sacrifice and the extremely tenacious will to fight of the soldiers of our great volunteer army.

Coincidentally, today's Zhao army is obviously facing a similar situation - a dangerous situation that cannot be held at all, but must be held, and holding is victory.

Facing an extremely powerful opponent - more than 300,000 Qin troops, more than twice as many troops as nearly three times, surrounded the Zhao army like an iron bucket;

The same is the serious lack of its own combat power - 100,000 young and strong temporary army, the combat power is not even as good as 350,000 old soldiers, and there are very few generals available, and in more than an hour, the fortresses that were pinned on high hopes were broken through five in a row. At this rate, the remaining fortresses may not be able to hold out even for a day or two.

The same hope - Zhao Kuo is convinced that reinforcements are already on the way and will arrive soon, as long as he can hold on for a few more days.

And in the same way, because of Zhao Kuo's own series of operations: there was a "war book" in front of him, which always inspired all armies, and the news that Zhao Kuo intentionally or unintentionally revealed reinforcements on the road slowly spread, and then there was the victory portrayal of "encirclement and reinforcement" reflected in reality, as well as the unsolvable feud between Qin and Zhao.

Today's Zhao army, its combat strength may still be barren, but its fighting will in the battle with Qin is already the same as that of our Celestial Empire's volunteer army. In addition, Zhao Kuo took the lead in attacking the Qin army that day, and was not injured by the Qin army's hidden arrows, which made the Zhao soldiers fight bravely in the face of the Qin army.

So what else is there to say......

Let's fight!
