Chapter 192 Infantry and artillery coordination, barrage Xu Jin!

Command of the 5th U.S. Marine Regiment

"Report to the chief, the troops of the 23rd and 28th regiments have arrived at their intended positions and have launched an attack on positions in other directions of Hwacheon."

An American officer with a telegram reported to Corom Bates.

"Reinforcements have arrived? How's it going?"

A glimmer of hope ignited in Krombets' heart, and he hurriedly asked.

"Sir, they have not gained a firm footing, but have been beaten a few counter-charges, and now they have suffered heavy losses."

"General Ridgway said that the squadron of the 331st Heights has the least number of troops and the most important position, and orders us to conquer it at all costs."

The U.S. officer lowered his head and replied helplessly.

"Least number of troops?"

"Damn, why don't you let the 28th Regiment change with me, and let them see the squadron of American weapons?!"

"Major General Smith was defeated at their hands at the beginning, why did the general say it so lightly?"

Corombets slapped the table vigorously and scolded angrily.

"Sir, 331 Heights is guarding the choke point of Hwacheon's highway."

"If we can't overcome it, even if the 28th Regiment succeeds, it will be difficult for heavy tanks and vehicles to get in." ap.

"That's why General Ridgway may give the ...... Death orders."

Another U.S. military officer paused halfway through his speech.

After all, the U.S. military values the lives of its soldiers very preciously, and it is rare for orders to do whatever it takes to appear like this time.

"Eh......

"I also want to take the 331 Heights as soon as possible, do you have any solutions?"

After a moment of silence, Krombetz sighed slowly.

"Sir, we can try a few more times, disrupt the situation with artillery fire, and then wait for the opportunity to attack."

"Every time the artillery fire hits, the *** team has to tense their nerves, but our offensive initiative is firmly in our hands."

"Even if it fails, it will only be a few shells, and there will be far fewer casualties than a fierce attack at any cost."

An American officer thought for a moment and proposed.

"Okay, let's try more for now."

"Command howitzer battalion, don't care about the shells, up hard, I'll apply for supplies after the bombing."

Corombets hesitated for a moment before replying.

「Yes,sir!」 ……………………………………

Soon, the order reached the howitzer battalion.

The flag was waved, and rows of howitzers roared again, and even some of the barrels were slightly red from the long bombardment.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom!"

A violent explosion once again descended on the high ground, and a small amount of black smoke even began to drift towards the position where the Gang Qi Regiment was hiding.

After the shelling was extended, the reconnaissance battalion's spearhead team again ran out to observe the situation.

After discovering that the American troops did not attack, the spearhead group immediately retreated, and when they just returned to the 7th Regiment, the artillery fire outside began to explode again.

This was repeated several times, and the legs of the soldiers of the spearhead group were almost numb.

"Hold his mother's!"

"Captain, the American devils are playing us like monkeys."

Wu Jin, the commander of the reconnaissance company, rubbed his sore thigh muscles and scolded loudly.

He is the leader of the two spearhead teams, and the few times he tossed him back and forth just now, the clay man is also angry.

"The American devils are relying on their own artillery shells, and they want to come a few more times to paralyze us so that it is convenient to attack."

"Comrades of hard work, keep an eye on them, I guess I will attack in the next few times."

Wu Qianli patted Wu Jin's shoulder and comforted.

"Don't worry, head of the group, I'll just scold the American devil to relieve my anger."

"If they dare to attack on the high ground, I promise to notify the regimental headquarters as soon as possible!"

After Wu Jin finished saluting, he hurriedly ran out with people.

really

After another round of artillery fire by the American army, a vanguard unit quickly attacked the high ground, hoping to win quickly.

"Flares!"

Wu Jin put down the binoculars and turned his head to shout to the soldier next to him.

The scout next to him quickly pulled out his flare gun and aimed it at the sky and pulled the trigger.

"Chirp—"

With the rapid sound of the signal flare, a red light rose into the sky, which was particularly conspicuous in mid-air.

After receiving the signal, Wu Qianli hurriedly rushed to the position with the Seventh Regiment.

As soon as the American soldiers who were halfway through the charge looked up, they saw the muzzles of their guns one after another, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

The whistling bullets pierced through their bodies violently, and countless blood mist splattered into the air.

Many US soldiers wanted to raise their guns to fight back, but suddenly saw a grenade that fell to the side, which was instantly engulfed by the explosion.

"Withdraw! Retreat!"

Seeing that the attack had failed, the commander of the vanguard retreated and ordered loudly.

Soon, the American troops who took the risk of assault left countless corpses behind and were driven down again.

Krom Bates dropped the telescope for the second time and returned to headquarters in a rage.

However, this time, several American officers were already waiting here, ready to discuss a new battle plan.

「Fuck,you! Our plan has failed again!"

"Our allies are so nice to have sent them so many American weapons and ammunition."

"The equipment of this squadron is almost catching up with us, and there is no shortage of flares."

Krombets threw his white gloves on the table and swore swearing.

All the U.S. military officers looked at each other and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Corom Bates.

"I need your battle plan, not the silence that feigns guilt."

"Otherwise, wouldn't America have a bunch of waste?"

Corom Bates glanced at the group of officers with a cold gaze and said slowly.

"Sir, we have another solution, but I hope you will consider it carefully."

An American officer hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Say, we don't have many options."

Corom Bates seemed to have guessed something, his eyes deepened, and he said slowly.

"Sir, we can form an assault force and advance along with the barrage of artillery fire."

"As long as we take advantage of the squadron's ability to react, we can quickly kill them, and we will be able to take down their blocking position."

The U.S. officer swallowed his saliva and said boldly.

The other officers gave them slightly surprised looks, and they all stopped talking.

They also thought of this method, but they didn't dare to say it.

After all, what the hell is a commando, in the final analysis, it is a death squad that may be bombed by mistake.

The U.S. military is rarely willing to sacrifice human lives to fight a war in this way, so if something happens, the person who proposes it will be held responsible.

"That's it, you pick someone to form a commando team, and attack in an hour."

Krombets hesitated for two minutes, but finally ordered.

As soon as the words fell, the people around them cast sympathetic glances.

「hat!? I'm leading the team myself?"

The American officer who had just proposed widened his eyes, and cold sweat instantly covered his back.

If he knew that this was the result, he shouldn't have talked too much when he was killed just now.

"Don't worry, in case of an accident, we will help take care of your wife and lovely little daughter."

An officer who knew him well smiled and patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

"Sir......

The U.S. officer swallowed and tried to argue a few words.

"Don't worry, as long as you take 331 Heights, your credit will not be buried."

"I believe you don't want to be forcibly taken to court-martials because of battlefield disobedience, do you?"

Corot

Mbets was ruthless, and he was enviable.

"Don't worry, sir, it's my honor to fight to the death for America."

The U.S. military officer's face pale for a few seconds, and then he said slowly.
