Chapter 198 Between China and the United States, the terrifying battle loss ratio! (Someone has joined the group, so today is ten thousand)
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two more crisp gunshots rang out, and two American soldiers in the distance fell to the ground in response, also killed by one shot.
At this time, the U.S. troops had completely retreated, and basically only the corpses of the U.S. troops were left on the battlefield, covering the entire hillside.
Not only did the infantry slip away, but even those American tanks began to retreat.
If they continue to stay here, they may be in danger. Ь.
Wu Qianli immediately shouted, "Everyone immediately retreat! Quick!"
After hearing the order, the soldiers did not hesitate and immediately put away the remaining weapons and ammunition, and some soldiers supported the wounded, or even directly picked up the wounded and turned their heads away.
The bodies of some of the sacrificed soldiers were also taken down by the soldiers, ready to find an opportunity to be buried.
Due to the situation at that time, it was impossible for the remains of most of the martyrs to be transported back to China for burial, so they could only be buried on the spot.
Wu Qianli put away the gun, patted Wu Wanli on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go!"
Wu Wanli did not hesitate, picked up his rifle and ammunition bag and withdrew from the position with Wu Qianli.
Sure enough, as soon as the soldiers withdrew into the tunnel, the American artillery fire came down.
One after another, the shells smashed on the 331 heights one after another as if they didn't want money.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions sounded one after another, and pieces of fire rose into the air, and soon the entire 331 Heights was once again caught in a field of artillery fire.
U.S. military positions.
Korom Bates watched this scene, but he was not happy at all.
Such artillery fire covering, they carried out many times, and the effect was very poor.
He never dreamed that such a small high ground had stopped the US military for two whole days and two nights.
As night fell, the American forces were forced to stop their offensive.
Colonel Corombets could only order the troops to retreat into the camp and defend them tightly.
Late that night, Wu Qianli took some of the soldiers out again.
Under the cover of the dark night, Wu Qianli and the others quietly descended the mountain and groped their way forward.
And this time, the purpose of their coming here was to lay anti-tank mines.
During the daytime battle, Wu Qianli was also carefully observing the strategy and tactics of the US army during the attack, so he also made some targeted improvements to the laying of mines.
The fighters were busy for several hours, and they were always cautious, for fear of alarming the American troops in the distance.
However, these American soldiers were also honest, they just hid in the distant position, and did not find Wu Qianli and them.
After laying all the mines, Wu Qianli led the people back to the tunnel on the 331 heights and continued to sleep.
After all, the U.S. military may attack again the next day.
Soon it was dawn, and the American artillery fire once again covered the entire 331 heights, after a heavy artillery fire.
The U.S. military went on the offensive again.
Colonel Corom Bates said angrily: "Today may be our last chance, no matter what, we must take the 331 heights and annihilate these hateful squadrons."
In the previous two days, the U.S. army launched more than a dozen attacks on this small 331 Heights, but now the 331 Heights are still in the hands of the Seventh Regiment.
And Korombets's troops have already paid six or seven hundred casualties.
On the other hand, the Seventh Regiment, due to its tactical gains, occupies the terrain advantage, and the bombing weakening bonus rewarded by the system makes the casualties much smaller.
There were only more than 30 casualties, of which only a dozen were killed.
The total casualty ratio was as high as 1:25.
Such a disparity in casualty ratio is extremely rare on the battlefield.
Moreover, under the premise that the US military occupies absolute firepower and air superiority, it has made such a disparity in casualty ratio, which is simply a shame for the US military.
Now, according to information from the intelligence department, the main reinforcements of the Volunteer Army have been sent to the front line for reinforcements.
Moreover, the Volunteer Army has also rebuilt its defensive line, and the US fighters have been lost, so there is little point in continuing to fight.
It can be said that they lost the best opportunity to defeat the Volunteer Army.
So today's offensive may be the last day.
If Hwacheon could not be conquered, it is estimated that even Li Qiwei would have to be forced to order to stop the attack, or even retreat.
An American officer next to him said cautiously: "Sir, don't be angry, I believe that this time you will definitely be able to defeat these squadrons and take the opposite position."
Corom Bates gave the guy a blank look, he'd heard this kind of more than once, but in the end it failed again and again.
After the artillery preparation was over, the American troops attacked again.
Tanks, covering the infantry, began to rush to the 331 heights.
At this time, a US military officer reminded: "Sir, the squadron will not plant mines at night again!"
Corombets sneered and said, "Even if they lay mines, we don't have time to waste any more time on minesweeping."
The U.S. officer asked in surprise, "Sir, if that's the case, if the squadron lays mines, then we will suffer heavy losses."
Although the tank is on top of the front, these sturdy tanks are difficult to completely blow up by mines.
But even if it is injured, it is a loss for them.
Because there were tanks that were damaged in the previous battle, but they have not been repaired until now.
Corombets sneered and said, "I have my own way of dealing with those mines."
"We don't have much time left, and we can't let a few mines affect our attack."
Many U.S. military officers were a little surprised, because they simply couldn't figure out that there was another way to avoid casualties from mines other than mine clearance. Xiu Shu
And looking at Korom Bates's expression, he seemed to be confident, and several staff officers around him obviously knew Korom Bates's method, and they were only relaxed at the moment.
Time was running out for the U.S. military, and Korom Bates didn't want to waste his precious time on a few mines.
Therefore, the US troops did not clear the mines and began to attack.
Tanks rumbled into the battlefield, but when the tanks approached the 331 heights, they suddenly stopped.
The tanks seemed to hesitate, but soon they started up again and moved forward slowly, but at a relatively slow pace.
The infantry, who followed behind, also followed, in two columns behind the tanks.
It turned out that the so-called method of this Colonel Korombetts was also very simple, that is, to let the tank move forward according to the previous tank track mark.
If the Gang 7th Regiment planted mines here, it would definitely destroy the tank mark, so as long as you advance along the complete tank mark, you can avoid hitting the mine.
And the reason why the infantry in the back lined up in two columns was to follow the tank tracks in front.
Although it is said that these infantry cannot trigger anti-tank mines, it is necessary to be careful, in case the 7th Regiment also planted ordinary infantry mines.
It can be said that although this method is simple, it is also quite practical.
The tank is advancing slowly, and it is gradually moving forward with the appropriate direction.
However, at this moment, a tank suddenly struck a mine.
"Boom~!"
A violent explosion sounded, the tank tracks were directly blown away, and one side of the tank's body was blown up.
Although it was not completely destroyed, if it was blown up like this, it would definitely need to be overhauled, and it may even face scrapping.
The explosion of the anti-tank mine was followed by another violent explosion.
The explosion occurred behind the mine-striking tank, about ten meters away.
The power of this explosion is also quite huge, following in Tan
More than 20 infantry behind the gram were blown away in an instant.
Among them, some of them are closer, and they are directly fried.
More than 20 American infantrymen lay on the ground, either dead or wounded.
It turned out that Wu Qianli had arranged a chain mine, with an anti-tank mine in front and a treacherous mine about 10 meters behind.
After the anti-tank mine explodes, it will also detonate this mine, and the latter mine is specially designed to blow up the US infantry that follows behind.
The U.S. military was defenseless and suffered heavy losses.
Colonel Krombets saw the flames rising from the battlefield and hurriedly raised his binoculars.
A staff officer next to him hurriedly said, "Sir, the attacking troops have hit mines, and they have indeed laid mines."
Korom Bates was not too surprised by the mine, but to his surprise, why the tank hit the mine.
Colonel Corombets pondered for a moment, and then concluded that the attacking troops must have been too careless to strike the mine.
Colonel Corombets couldn't help but scold: "Damn, these bastards, haven't I already explained, let them be careful, how can they still trigger mines, it's really unreasonable."
"Are they all stupid pigs?"
A staff officer next to him said, "Sir, it seems that there were two explosions just now, they should be serial mines, one mine in the front and one mine in the back, which not only damaged our tanks, but also killed many of our infantry."
Colonel Corombets said angrily, "These hateful Chinese are becoming more and more cunning."
An American officer asked, "Sir, what now?" Do you want to go on the offensive or not?"
Colonel Corombets said angrily, "Of course we have to attack, it's just an accident."
"Inform the front-line troops, continue the attack, and let them all be careful for me, and keep my eyes open."
「yessir!」
Colonel Korombates concluded that this was an accident and immediately ordered the offensive to continue.
After staying for about two minutes, the attacking Americans moved forward cautiously again.
This time, the U.S. military was noticeably slower and more cautious.
There were several spearheads, specifically in front, to check the track marks on the ground, and then guide the tank forward.
However, less than a minute passed.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions rang out again, and this time four violent explosions sounded in quick succession.
Two more tanks were damaged, and the infantry behind the tanks was also killed and wounded forty or fifty people.
For a while, there was a wail, and the wounded American soldiers lay on the ground and wailed in pain.
After a while, the conscripts in the back hurriedly rushed up and began to rescue the wounded.
The U.S. troops stopped again, and all the U.S. soldiers looked at the ground in horror.
Because they don't know where the mines are, and they don't know if they will suddenly explode and send them to hell.
Korombets held up the binoculars and observed the two damaged tanks, and muttered in his heart.
How is it going?
The troops were obviously advancing according to the previous tracked vehicles, why did they still hit mines.
They didn't destroy these car prints, how did they lay out the mines?
Colonel Krombetts was puzzled, but when the time came, he didn't want to waste any more time, so he gritted his teeth and said, "It must have just been an accident."
"Let them move on!"
Krombets felt that his decision was somewhat risky, but he only wanted to seize Heights 331 as soon as possible.
The attacking American troops visibly hesitated and hesitated, and it took several minutes before they seemed to have made up their minds and continued to move forward.
Seeing that we are about to reach the foot of the mountain, we should be safe now.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions rang out again.
Two more tanks hit mines one after the other, and the difference was only a few seconds.
With the same chain of mines, the US army again lost several dozen infantrymen.
In just a few moments, the American army lost five tanks and more than 100 soldiers.
By this time, Colonel Corom Bates did not dare to let his soldiers continue to take risks.
「Shit! It's really evil."
Colonel Corom Bates scolded, "These abominable fellows are too wicked."
"Let them withdraw immediately and return the way they came, quickly~!"
The remaining American troops did not dare to stay any longer, and immediately retreated cautiously.
In this way, a new round of attack by the US army was successfully repelled by the mines laid out by Wu Qianli.
Wu Qianli slowly put down the binoculars and said with a smile, "Okay! The American devils blew up five tanks, and more than 100 infantry were killed or wounded."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up with excitement.
Thinking that all this was Wu Qianli's credit, Yu Congrong rushed to Wu Qianli and asked, "Commander, how did you do it?"
Lei Gong took a puff of dry cigarettes, frowned suspiciously, and said, "Their tanks are all moving forward along the original tank tracked vehicle prints, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't touch mines!"
Wu Qianli smiled and said, "Hahahaha, this matter is very simple!"
