Chapter 85: I'm sorry for the people of the motherland, I haven't hit the American devil yet, I sacrificed
Wu Qianli held the Stern submachine gun and quickly moved to the side, the bullets of the submachine gun clanked on the armored car of the US army, and a large string of sparks popped out, and he shouted loudly: "Yu Congrong, cover Xia Yuan!" ”
Yu Congrong stared at a pair of cowbell-wide eyes, and there was no expression on his dark face, "Xia Yuan, kill this group of dogs!" ”
Interspersed with such a position illuminated by flares as if it were daylight, especially the US troops were equipped with large-caliber weapons, once discovered, the fate was obvious, and the US troops gathered a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, although they withstood the attack of the 7th Interspersed Company, but invisibly reduced the pressure on other fronts.
If the 7th Interspersed Company can not only withstand it, but also tear it apart, then the American troops in Xinxing will be pierced through the heart by them, and they will not be able to organize tomorrow's evacuation at all, and they can only be wiped out by the volunteer soldiers in Xinxingli in the end.
The U.S. military's actions against the 7th Interspersed Company were not only tanks and armored vehicles, but also a large number of infantry from the left and right sides of the 7th Interspersed Company, in an attempt to eliminate the 7th Interspersed Company.
Xia Yuan's eyes swept around, and at this moment, the flare in the sky suddenly went out, and with the extinguishing of the flare, the whole world fell into darkness, he raised his head and looked, realizing that his opportunity had come, and quickly turned out of the broken ruins, regardless of whether the American soldiers in front of him could see it, and rushed forward quickly.
The extinguishing of the flares caused a little panic among the American troops, and also gave other volunteer soldiers a chance, taking advantage of the sudden darkness, they rushed towards the enemy's position quickly, constantly throwing grenades at the American position.
When the grenades and shells exploded, the fire was rarely seen, only the black dirt rolled up by the explosion and concussion was thrown into the sky, the earth was like a plough with a rake, the snow in the sky fell on it and melted quickly, the cold air carried a heavy smell of gunsmoke, there were gunshots and cannons everywhere, and on the way to charge, from time to time bullets passed through the overhead, and several times were almost hit.
He hid in the bunker with his gun in his hand, his gaze quickly swept over the American troops, and through the night vision, he saw in the distance that the American army's big head was loading the gun head with flares for lighting.
The dark night is a good camouflage, Xia Yuan knew this very well, quickly picked up the big eight grains, aimed and pulled the trigger, the big-headed soldier with the flare tilted his head and fell to the ground, his companion next to him was startled, and reached out to grab the flare on the ground, and the next moment his head seemed to have been hit by something, and he didn't even feel the pain, so he lay on the ground.
"The flares can last for up to two minutes, and the shortest can last for tens of seconds, and the flares consumed by the US military in such large quantities, when the flares are consumed, they will die faster. And now, it is an opportunity for the Volunteer Army to counterattack. ”
Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at the flare in the distance, and it gradually flickered and extinguished and fell down in about thirty seconds, and it didn't take long for another flare to light up over there, and the shining flare illuminated the entire battlefield, and the afterglow also illuminated the battlefield on their side.
During the period to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the US military continued to use the parachute lighting signal gun grenade developed before and after World War II, and during this period, the US military used the M17A1 white parachute lighting signal gun grenade, which can be fired on M1 rifles and M1 carbines, and the actual burning time is between 20-30 seconds.
During this period, the flares were almost a single soldier configuration, but the number was limited, and many US troops did not control the launch time of the flares, which often led to the situation where one or two or even more flares were lifted into the air at the same time. Flares will not only reveal the enemy's position, but also your own position.
The most critical point is that the U.S. military in the early days of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was the first time to contact the volunteers, especially the U.S. 1st Marine Division, so the U.S. military during this period was far from enough in terms of the reserves of flares and the perception of night battles.
Therefore, the flares rising in the sky are far less brilliant than the flares rising in the sky at the beginning of the battle, which shows a problem.
"The reserve of enemy flares is not enough!"
The fighter plane should not be missed, in the process of moving, a soldier who was staring at the American army firing flares was shot, the death of several soldiers made the other big-headed soldiers panic, it was too dark, it was snowing, and everywhere you could see the flame mouth of the volunteer shooting, when they strafed over, the people were gone.
The more panicked the U.S. military is, the more comfortable the volunteers are, night combat is the strength of the volunteers, not to mention Xia Yuan, who has night vision, with the help of night vision, he quickly approached the position of the U.S. army, hiding in a dark corner, Xia Yuan took out the grenade from his waist, pulled it and threw it over, the grenade with white smoke streaked across the dark night, and exploded over the armored car of the U.S. army, broken shrapnel flew everywhere, and the driver who controlled the machine gun died on the spot.
There were not many grenades on his body, so he simply threw them all at the American army.
One by one, the grenades landed very accurately in the sky behind the US tanks and exploded, and the violent explosions shook the US troops and fled. As soon as the U.S. troops left the butt of the tank, he quickly opened fire, emptying the bullets of the large eight magazines, and quickly left the position, and as soon as he left, the U.S. artillery shot at him, destroying the bunker he had just hidden.
Xia Yuan broke through the enemy's armored vehicle and had been detected by the rear, and the armored vehicle that was still spitting flames was dumb, Wu Qianli hid behind the bunker with a gun and poked his head to observe, his eyes lit up, and he immediately blew the whistle of the attack. The soldiers of the seventh company, who were in charge of the frontal battlefield, jumped out of their bunkers one after another.
This time, God did not look at the US army again, with the help of the night cover of the seventh company of soldiers to the extreme of individual skills, interspersed cover, flank detours, the US army's blind fire tanks and armored vehicles were blown up by volunteer soldiers with explosives bags and cluster grenades, those American troops in the tank only saw a black piece of the outside world through the periscope, accompanied by a loud noise that shocked the valley, with the tank disappeared.
Xia Yuan held the big eight, carrying the last two grenades, and quickly grabbed the firing point of the American army, he rushed into the bunker, fired several shots at the dying American troops in the bunker, then touched the grenades on their bodies, and continued to stretch out the charge to Xinxingli.
Night vision provides sight, calmness keeps the brain awake, he very calmly bypasses the enemy's firepower points, throws grenades one by one, and the big eight grains in his hand continue to eliminate the big head soldiers in the field of vision, and the shouts of American troops are everywhere.
Up to now, the enemy in the frontal battlefield of the 7th Interspersed Company is obviously somewhat confused.
Wu Qianli immediately made a decision, and organized three platoons of soldiers to begin to expand the results of the battle, they have been interspersed, and continuing to expand the results is the most correct choice at the moment. The fighters of the 7th Company did not have the suppression of heavy firepower such as tanks and armored vehicles, and the more they killed, the more courageous they became.
It was chaotic, it was all chaotic, and the entire position of the US army was once again in chaos.
At this time, the 238th, 239th, 240th, and 241st regiments successfully broke through the enemy's forward positions. The demolition team with the blasting canister rushed to the front of the American tank and stuffed the blasting canister under the chassis of the tank. Machine gun cover, alternate leap forward, the position of the US army is full of volunteers in groups of threes and threes, picking up equipment, touching grenades, passing through a trench, first throwing grenades inside, seeing that no one is coming, directly rushing over, and the people behind are responsible for fire cover.
Xia Yuan took the lead, a grenade fell on the firepower point of the US army, taking advantage of the gap between the flames, rushed forward quickly, eliminated the wounded US troops, quickly occupied the firepower point, and controlled the heavy machine gun on the firepower point to suppress the US troops, the bullets ran out, quickly slid down from the firepower point, reloaded the large eight grains of the empty magazine, and knocked out the firepower point of the US troops on one side. The grenade that was taken from the corpse of the American soldier was pulled open and thrown over, and so on.
With the explosion of the grenade, a firepower point established by the enemy was easily pulled out by Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan pursed his lips and turned his head to look, the soldiers of the Seventh Company had already rushed to the front, they had blown up the tanks and armored vehicles of the US army, and with the weapons captured from the US troops, they rushed straight into the central position of the US army, and then inside was the artillery position of the US army and the location of its command post. The loss of the American army in the southwest soon spread to the entire Xinxing Li American army, and even if the remaining American army had some heavy firepower, but in the face of the fierce American army, at this moment, the inner persistence of some of the big soldiers began to waver.
After Xia Yuan touched the bullets and grenades on the corpse, he followed the soldiers of the Seventh Company to charge towards the center of the American army.
After the Seventh Company withstood the powerful firepower of the American army, the main forces of the other regiments tore through the last barrier of the American army and rushed into the center of Xinxingli.
By 5 a.m., the Volunteers had completely broken through the US defense line and smashed the so-called ring defense tactics into pieces. But there are still U.S. troops who are stubbornly resisting, and at this critical juncture, it is dawn.
It's a pity that God is not on the side of the US military this time. In the early morning of December 1, fog rose and the sky was overcast, and American planes were unable to reinforce the American troops in Xinxingli.
The commander of the 80th Division was overjoyed and ordered the troops to annihilate the U.S. Army in Xinxingli!
At 8 o'clock in the morning, volunteer soldiers rushed into the artillery positions of the American army.
At nine o'clock, the Volunteer Army swept away the remnants of the enemy.
At ten o'clock, the battle in Xinxingli was over.
After the war, on the night of the 27th, the Volunteer Army wiped out the living forces of the US army in Xinxing to a great extent, laying a solid foundation for the annihilation war on the night of the 30th. Secondly, the soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteers dare to fight, are brave and tenacious, are not afraid of sacrifice, rise to the occasion, and fight against the US military with a stubborn will to fight.
In the Xinxingli battle, the 31st regimental combat team of the 7th Division of the United States was completely annihilated, and the number of American troops was more than 4,000, which greatly frustrated the spirit of the American army and gave MacArthur a big mouth.
Although the battle in Xinxingli is over, the battles in Liutanli, Xiajieyuli, and Gutuli are still ongoing. The commander-in-chief of the Ninth Corps ordered the troops in the direction of Xinxingli to rush to Xiajiayuli after a short rest.
On the morning of 1 December, the enemy in Liutanli assembled and began to cross the river, and by 13 o'clock, all the American troops in Liutanli had moved to Yanshuili. As I said earlier, during the day, US planes were flying in the sky all the time, which made it impossible for our army to assemble large forces, and the pressure to block the US troops fell on the head of the 59th Division of the 20th Army. The task of the 59th Division of the 20th Army at the beginning of the general offensive was to cut off the road between Liutanli and the US troops in Xiajieyuli, and now that the US troops in Liutanli have begun to retreat, the pressure on the 59th Division of the 20th Army has increased sharply, and they have to block the enemy on the way to the enemy's withdrawal and give the rear troops time to pursue.
The pressure fell on the 1419.2 heights, which is a high ground on the road from Liutanli to Xiajieyuli, and it is also the only way for the US troops to retreat. By occupying the 1419.2 heights, the U.S. Army was able to send a battalion of troops to support a place called Dedong Pass in the area of Death Eagle Ridge, where a reinforced company of the U.S. Army and the enemy was stationed.
Since the beginning of the general offensive on 27 December, the volunteer soldiers have continued to launch fierce attacks on the US troops in the Dedong Pass, and until 1 December, the troops in charge of the attack have not been able to take the US troops in the Dedong Pass, and the purpose of the US troops in Liutan is to get in touch with the US troops in the Dedong Pass, and by holding the Dedong Pass, they will be able to create an extremely good situation for the US troops in Liutan to smoothly train in the car.
The 1419.2 highland has become a battleground for the U.S. military, and the U.S. military also knows that the highway has long been guarded by the volunteers, and if you go from the highway, you will inevitably encounter the resistance of the volunteers. The U.S. troops wanted to play a detour with one hand, not by road, but planned to make a detour from the mountainous area to the Dedong Pass at night, and the 1419.2 highland was the starting base for this battalion.
During the day on 1 December, the U.S. Army sent three battalions of the Seventh Regiment to seize the high ground on both sides of the road, the main force of the battalion attacked 1542, and the remaining company attacked 1419.2, and the battle lasted until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, without major progress, and the U.S. army also sent a battalion used to intersperse detours to the 1419.2 height, but due to the huge gap in firepower and strength between the two sides, the 1419.2 high ground was lost, and the American troops who attacked the 1419.2 high ground suffered huge casualties, so one or two companies of the three battalions were incorporated into the roundabout troops, and the establishment was increased to four companies.
At nine o'clock on the first day of December, it departed from the 1419.2 highland and interspersed with Dedong Pass.
On the night of December 1, the 59th Division once again sent a counterattack force to fight for the 1419.2 heights, the US troops stationed on the heights had already prepared, they sent an ambush team, ambushed the counterattack troops from the rear of the volunteers, the main force of the volunteers quickly turned back to fight, and the assault force of this counterattack force had a squad, about ten people, deputy squad leader Li Ningpeng knew that once they also turned back, then the troops would inevitably be flanked from the front and rear, so he took a squad to launch a charge on the enemy's high ground.
On the way to charge, his comrades fell one by one, and finally only Li Ningpeng was left, he was armed with a rifle, shooting continuously, after approaching the American position, he continued to throw grenades at the American troops stationed on the 1419.2 heights, the enemy rushed over, he used his body as a weapon, and the enemy fought until he died heroically. Subsequently, the Volunteer counterattack troops arrived and successfully captured the 1419.2 heights, but during the day on the 2nd, the US troops launched a fierce attack on the 1419.2 heights under the cover of countless shells, and the 1419.2 heights were lost again under such circumstances.
And the last time the volunteer soldiers counterattacked on the 1419.2 heights, there were only seven people, led by the deputy instructor of the 2nd battalion, and in the end they all died on the way to charge on the 1419.2 heights.
The interspersed troops of the US army arrived at the 1520 heights in the early morning, and attacked the volunteer soldiers stationed on the heights, at that time there were only more than 60 people of our volunteers on the 1520 heights, and it was impossible to be a sneak attack by four companies of the US army, the 1520 heights were lost, and the US troops began to attack Dedong Mountain again, the initial attack was not smooth, they used portable radio to get in touch with the US troops in the Dedong Pass, and the US troops in the Dedong Pass summoned fighters for them, and the Dedong Mountain was lost, and the troops who took goods everywhere successfully converged with the US troops in the Dedong Pass, laying the foundation for the retreat of the main forces of the 1st Marine Division.
The U.S. military built an airfield in Xiajieyu, and transported a large number of weapons and ammunition by air, and forcibly plugged the hole that the volunteers had punched out on the first day.
This was the first time that volunteer soldiers had seen a helicopter.
The battle at Xiajieyu was particularly fierce, as the enemy's divisional command, the number of tanks and armored vehicles was particularly large, and at the same time, there was also the not simple bombing and strafing of US planes.
The 3rd Battalion and 5th Company of the 58th Division of the 20th Army marched one night, and two correspondents who had just entered the DPRK were in charge of reconnoitering the terrain on the hill. One correspondent was shot in the head and died, the other correspondent was beaten to pieces, his intestines were beaten out, and even the instructor held him in his arms and put his ear to the mouth of the young correspondent, who left the last words of the young correspondent: "Instructor, I am sorry for the people of the motherland, I have not yet hit the American devils, I will die." ”
On the night of the 27th, the Battle of Changjin Lake began, the volunteer soldiers rushed out of the cold snow and launched a fierce surprise attack on the US military position, the deputy company commander of the sixth company rushed into the camp tent of the US army, was seriously wounded, the deputy instructor went in to see, the deputy company commander was no longer good, the body was pierced, the intestines flowed out, only half of his life was left, the deputy instructor held him in his arms, and also put his ear to his mouth, the last sentence left by the deputy company commander when he died was: "Tell the 2nd and 3rd platoons, when charging, don't shout, fight quietly." The enemy's firepower was too strong. ”
