Chapter Seventy-Five: A Difficult Battle
The flares that lifted into the air illuminated the entire battlefield as if it were daytime, and the advantage of night combat was gone, Xia Yuan hid in the bunker, the bullets above his head whizzed through, he looked at the soldiers around him who were pressed and couldn't raise his head, gritted his teeth, took a few detours from the side, quickly raised the gun to aim, pulled the trigger, and the whole action was done in one go.
A single shot kills an American soldier, and the enemy's heavy fire sweeps over.
Retracting his body, Xia Yuan continued to outflank in a roundabout way, constantly walking through the position, and using the big eight grains in his hand to shoot the American troops who appeared in the line of sight, after shooting more than ten American soldiers hiding in the trenches in a row, Xia Yuan noticed the scream of the shells coming out of his head, and he could vaguely hear the shouts of the American troops in the distance.
“fcuk! Enemy sniper! Enemy sniper! Call for artillery support! ”
The whistling shells fell around Xia Yuan's bunker, and the exploding earth almost covered his entire body, Xia Yuan bent his waist and quickly retreated to the rear, the enemy's heavy fire continued to suppress him, completely not giving him any room to exert himself.
After a round of shelling, Xia Yuan shook the dirt above his head, his ears kept ringing, his internal organs were shaken by the shells, watching his original hiding bunker almost flattened by the artillery fire of the American army, his dark cheeks could not see any expression, he pulled the gun out of the dirt, and the gunfire and artillery sound in his ears seemed to be more ethereal.
"Comrade, comrade! Are you okay! ”
A soldier ran up to him and lifted him up, and the buzzing in his ears made him inaudible, as if he had dived into the sea.
Xia Yuan fixed his mind and looked around, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and there were corpses of volunteer soldiers everywhere, blood stained the soil on the ground, showing a black and brown color, the artillery fire turned over and over the soil, and the swishing sound of bullets passing through his ears did not stop at all, not even weakened in the slightest.
The buzzing in his ears weakened, and Xia Yuan opened his mouth and shouted, "I'm fine!" Haven't you taken it yet? ”
The fighter shouted: "No! ”
Xia Yuan curled up and raised his head cautiously, the U.S. military built a stronger fortification in the village of Xinxingli to resist the footsteps of the volunteers, and the steel and concrete bunkers could easily withstand the bombardment of small-caliber mortar shells, the thickness of this reinforced concrete far exceeded imagination, and the U.S. military must have taken into account the factor of artillery bombardment when building it.
Xia Yuan could see the missing pieces of the bombed pillbox, one side of the wall was cracked, and some volunteer soldiers rushed to the pillbox to blast the pillbox, but the thickness of the pillbox exceeded the awareness of the volunteer soldiers, and the explosives did not destroy the fortifications built by the enemy, and the muzzle of the pillbox was still spraying flames.
"I'm coming!"
Xia Yuan held the gun, took a deep breath, and aimed at the enemy's pillbox.
"You want to hit the enemy's bunker with a gun, comrade, how is this ..."
Before the soldier could finish his words, Xia Yuan's gunfire rang out, a bullet accurately passed through the narrow pillbox mouth, and the machine gun that sprayed the tongue of fire spat out a series of sporadic bullets, and then there was no movement.
The soldier's eyes widened, and before he could say anything, he was pulled by Xia Yuan, "Get out of here!" ”
Bullets from enemy heavy machine guns swept in, leaving irregular craters in the bunkers.
After retreating a few dozen meters, Xia Yuan pulled him into the bunker, and then poked his head out to observe, the pillbox was only blind for more than ten seconds, and the deputy of the heavy machine gun took over the work of the former machine gun operator and continued to shoot and suppress the volunteers. The shot just now only relieved the pressure on the soldiers, and there was more than one heavy machine gun operator in the US army.
The 238th Regiment, the 3rd Battalion of the 239th Regiment, and the 7th Interspersed Company had been blocked here for two hours, and the enemy's fortifications could not be attacked for a long time.
Xia Yuan's tinnitus from the bombardment of the US army, dealing with snipers, the US army obviously has a wealth of experience, heavy machine gun suppression, artillery bombardment, and fortunately his luck is good enough, otherwise just one shell is enough to let himself return to heaven.
On the night of the 28th, the attack of the Volunteer Army encountered fierce resistance from the enemy, and the power of the circular position began to be highlighted, even if the soldiers of the Volunteer Army were brave and tenacious, even if the 7th Interspersed Company successfully received the 238th Regiment into the village of Xinxingli, but the closer it was to the central part of Xinxingli, the more ferocious the firepower of the American army.
The battle reached three o'clock, they only advanced a mile forward, the American tanks, armored vehicles, artillery more fierce, the American counterattack was more intensive, the direction of the entire volunteer army attack was originally a village, but after several hours of hard fighting, the village became a pile of ruins, the fortifications were all destroyed, under the illumination of the flares, the smoke filled the entire sky, the flickering fire dotted the whole village, everywhere was fire, charred soil, blood-stained land, broken corpses, broken blood clots, Fallen shoes, pieces of clothing.
Miserable, incomparably tragic.
Hit the back, even Xia Yuan killed the red eye, empty the bullets on his body, to touch the bullet bag, there were no bullets in the bullet bag, he didn't know how many people he had killed, he only remembered that he had emptied a lot of guns, and even to the back, the US troops had all shrunk up, only relying on heavy firepower to suppress, they had to suppress the enemy without seeing the enemy, Xia Yuan smashed the periscope of the enemy tank, but did not suppress the tank's artillery output, even if they shot indiscriminately, The aftermath of the explosion of the shells will hurt the volunteers.
Not to mention the U.S. military's self-propelled anti-aircraft machine gun vehicle and self-propelled anti-aircraft machine gun vehicle, the U.S. military's infantry and tank coordination, the turtle defense resisted wave after wave of attacks of the volunteers, but in the same way, the casualties of the U.S. army are not said to be none, Xia Yuan's bomb throwing technology has brought huge harassment to the U.S. army, and therefore, the U.S. military also knows that there is a soldier with very strong throwing technology on the side of the volunteers, and even let the walkie-talkie soldiers stare at it specifically, once they find the enemy, they immediately call for artillery support, to this extent, it greatly limits Xia Yuan's play.
Whether it was the 238th Regiment, the 3rd Battalion of the 239th Regiment, or the soldiers of the 7th Interspersed Company, the casualties were very serious.
At five o'clock, the fierce offensive of the Volunteer Army weakened, the higher authorities issued an order to retreat, the Volunteer Army retreated with a large number of wounded, and the companies of the Volunteer Army were left on the high ground to deploy and dig fortifications.
At six o'clock, the visibility had improved a lot, and the US planes began to dispatch to bomb the volunteer fighters on the high ground, but the US troops in Xinxing did not organize a counterattack, and the casualties of the US troops in the battle last night were also huge, and even they were no longer able to counterattack the surrounding high grounds.
Xia Yuan followed the 7th Interspersed Company to the rear, and along the way, there was only the creaking sound of soldiers trampling the snow and the sound of weapons and ammunition colliding, and no one else spoke, even Yu Congrong, who had always been active, was silent.
At 4 p.m. on the 27th, the general offensive began, and the 7th Interspersed Company destroyed the enemy's headquarters, killed Colonel McClane, and captured the flag of the U.S. Polar Bear Regiment. During the day on the 28th, the attack and defense were switched, and the U.S. troops began to counterattack the surrounding heights. On the night of the 28th, the Volunteers launched a general offensive again, and the Eastern Volunteers attacked the village of Xinxingli, but were suppressed by the strong fire of the American army, suffered huge casualties, and the follow-up was weak, and it was already dawn, so they had to withdraw from the battle.
During the day on the 29th, US planes again launched a fierce bombardment of the positions of the volunteers in Xinxingli, and the roar of the planes continued from morning to afternoon.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 29th, the situation at Changjin Lake changed, and a new combat order was issued.
