Chapter 91: Saving the Ninth Company, Tan Zi was wounded
The team responsible for blowing up the bridge was the third battalion and nine companies, led by Tan Zi as the commander of the Tan battalion, and the battle in Xinxingli caused heavy losses to the personnel of the third battalion.
The approach to combat missions is also simple.
Give the dummy!
On one side, the sheep attacked, attracting the enemy's frontal fire, and on the other side, under the cover of two platoons, the fighters of the first platoon disguised themselves as the enemy's wounded soldiers and went to the enemy group to complete the task of blowing up the bridge.
The commander of the U.S. Army also knew that the Watergate Bridge was the only passage on their retreat road, and had sent a tank battalion to reinforce the Watergate Bridge, and the troops originally stationed on the Watergate Bridge had built a large number of fortifications, dug trenches, built bunkers, looked for favorable terrain, and looked down on the entire Watergate Bridge from a high vantage point.
This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the task of bombing the bridge, and the US military itself has a great advantage in firepower, and the number of enemies stationed at the Watergate Bridge far exceeds that of the volunteer army responsible for the task of blowing up the bridge, and it also occupies a natural advantage in the terrain.
In this way, the only advantage of the volunteer army is that they are in the dark and the enemy is in the light.
Although the plan is good, the team that serves as the sheep attack needs to shoulder the greatest sacrifice, attract the enemy's firepower, pull the gun line, block the eye, and suppress the enemy head-on, relying on submachine guns and a few light machine guns, how to suppress the US army that occupies the advantage of terrain, numbers, and firepower?
It is completely with a tenacious fighting spirit and wind and snow to confront the enemy.
Tan Ziwei is a veteran soldier, and he is also from the 7th Interspersed Company of the 1st Regiment of the Siege Regiment, and has fought many tough battles.
After a quick survey of the terrain, he quickly arranged the battle order.
The second platoon was responsible for attacking from the north of the bridge, and the first platoon, under the cover of the third and fourth platoons, disguised as wounded soldiers of the American army, failed in the mission, and they were directly exposed to the enemy's guns.
At the moment when the second platoon launched a sheep attack from the north of the bridge, the operation on this side had already begun, and each platoon of the ninth company began to act according to the formulated plan, the first platoon put on the clothes of the American army and approached the Watergate Bridge from the south of the bridge, while the third and fourth platoons launched an attack on the south of the bridge, and at the same time attracted the attention of the American army and reduced the exposure of the first platoon.
Everything is going according to plan.
Tan Ziwei stared at the mountain from behind the bunker under the slope, "Can you knock out the searchlights of the American army!?" ”
The soldier beside him shook his head: "Battalion commander, you can't beat it, the searchlight is too dazzling, and it's too far away." ”
Tan Ziwei's eyes were slightly downcast, and he only hoped that the plan would go according to his expectations.
The soldiers in a platoon disguised themselves as wounded American soldiers and retreated to the rear as if they were retreating, and the Chinese Volunteers' attack in the north and south really attracted the attention of the American troops, and the American troops on the positions rushed to the combat positions, and had no time to take care of them.
But they still ignore one point.
Captain of the US Army!
The captain of the U.S. military is commanding the squad to fight, and in such a dangerous situation, the U.S. soldier in disguise in a row of soldiers actually looked a little calm, so he looked at him strangely, and said a chirping bird language in his mouth.
On the one hand, it was the first time for the soldiers to perform such a mission, and on the other hand, the soldiers lacked an understanding of the American army, and when an extraordinary-looking lieutenant stared at them, the platoon commander of the platoon secretly said that it was bad, and his hand had quietly touched the gun.
When the lieutenant saw that he had said something and that the group of defeated wounds in front of him were indifferent, he was furious and stepped forward to question the commander of the other party.
But I heard a row of leaders shouting: "Action!" ”
The next moment, the injuries that were originally faltering showed their weapons, and the soldiers quickly shot at the American troops in their sight, quickly knocked out the enemy's fire point, and quickly dispersed, hiding in the bunker and shooting at the American troops, covering the soldiers in the front row who were on the task of bombing the bridge to complete the bombing of the bridge.
A platoon commander took out a gun and fired two shots in a row to finish off the US lieutenant in front of him, shouting: "Blow up the bridge!" ”
The three soldiers held the explosive bag and ran quickly towards the bridge under the cover of their comrades, but when they were less than five meters away from the bridge deck, a string of hot bullets sprayed over, and the two volunteer soldiers were caught off guard and were killed, and their bodies fell to the ground under the action of inertia.
Another volunteer soldier was seriously injured and struggled to throw away the explosives bag in his hand, which fell on the edge of the bridge.
In order to retract his gaze, Tan Zi immediately shouted: "Bazooka! ”
The soldier next to him handed the bazooka with the cannonball loaded to Tan Ziwei, who had been waiting for a long time when a cannonball fired over, making a sharp and piercing grinding sound, and detonating the explosive package.
With a roar, the edge of the bridge was shattered in an instant, and broken stones were splashed everywhere.
Under the impact of the huge air wave, like a bullet, a stone pierced Tan Ziwei's abdomen, and in the case of serious injuries, Tan Ziwei gritted his teeth and observed the bridge deck where the aftermath dissipated.
The edge of the bridge deck was only blown out of a gap, and the bridge deck was not completely blown up.
"Damn it!"
Tan Zi scolded secretly.
At this moment, the heavy firepower of the US army has completely suppressed the other fighters of the Ninth Company, and the soldiers of the first platoon are completely surrounded by the US troops on the position and cannot break through, and the situation on the battlefield is facing a one-sided situation, and many soldiers are suppressed by the heavy fire of the US army on the depression formed by the protrusion of the slope, unable to advance or retreat.
In order to cover the attack of their comrades, some fighters rushed out of the bunker and attracted enemy fire head-on, and the bullets of the American army were connected into a chain of fire, and in an instant, a figure was shattered, and bright red blood soaked the ground and melted the snow on the ground.
Some of the soldiers of the Ninth Company had cracked eyes.
Tan Zi knew that the plan to blow up the bridge was not successful, so he quickly blew the whistle of retreat, and the deafening sound of artillery almost drowned out the sound of the whistle, and when the commander shouted to retreat in a hoarse voice, the Ninth Company began to retreat.
However, the heavy firepower of the US army directly suppressed the soldiers of the Ninth Company, and the artillery fire of the US Army blocked the way for them to retreat, and the situation of the Ninth Company was very dangerous.
......
On the top of the slope, Mei Sheng suppressed his voice: "Yu Congrong, radio!" ”
Yu Congrong turned his head and shouted: "Wanli, give me the radio." ”
Mei Sheng turned his head and looked at the battle in the distance: "This should be the Watergate Bridge, is it the people of the Ninth Company who blew up the bridge?" ”
Wu Qianli observed with a telescope, "I can't see clearly, the Ninth Company should have received the order to blow up the bridge before us." ”
He turned back to Yu Congrong and asked, "Can you contact the headquarters?" ”
Yu Congrong tried to connect, panting: "The battery is frozen, and it can't be used." ”
Xia Yuan looked into the distance, and through night vision, he saw the layout of the entire Watergate Bridge clearly, "Company commander, this team can't stand up for long, they are suppressed by the firepower of the American army, they can't advance or retreat, and if they continue to delay, the brother troops may be in danger." ”
"No matter! Save people first! ”
Wu Qianli stood up directly and quickly arranged: "Yu Congrong!" A platoon to rescue the people on the north side, Xia Yuan! The second platoon went to rescue the people on the south side, and the others stood by in place! Act now! ”
Yu Congrong and Xia Yuan: "Yes!" ”
"Follow me in a row!"
"Follow me in the second row!"
Xia Yuan rushed down from the mountain with Wu Wenxiang and a platoon of more than a dozen soldiers, got under the four huge iron pipes, and with the help of the cover of the iron pipes, quickly approached the US military position, he squatted on the ground, raised his gun and aimed at the US military fire point in the distance.
A large-headed soldier wielding a water-cooled heavy machine gun was spitting out a long chain of fire that swept down from the top of the slope, shattering even the frozen rocky ground in its pass.
Bang!
Xia Yuan pulled the trigger, and a bullet pierced the steel helmet and head of the big-headed soldier at a rapid speed, and his body lay straight back on the ground, and the assistant who controlled the heavy machine gun saw that he was dead, and wanted to take his place. The next moment, another bullet came and pierced his head.
The U.S. soldier who pressed the bullet looked at his partner whose steel helmet was pierced in shock, and froze in place, and a fear rose in his heart.
Tan Ziwei, who couldn't raise his head by the elegant firepower of the US army, suddenly noticed that the firepower above his head had weakened a little, and when he raised his head, he saw that one of the firepower points of the US army was blind, and he turned his head to look around, and saw the activities of the brother troops of the Volunteer Army under the four huge pipes.
One of the soldiers, whose face was invisible, held a gun and quickly pulled the trigger at the firing point of the American troops, and one bullet after another pierced the head of the soldier who controlled the heavy machine gun.
"Beautiful!"
Tan Ziwei couldn't help but praise and blew the whistle continuously.
"Lao Wu, take the warriors to action! I'm going to knock out the firepower of the foreign devils! ”
Xia Yuan took advantage of the interval between changing bullets and turned his head and shouted.
"Yes! Follow me in the second row! ”
Wu Wenxiang looked honest, but when it started, it was absolutely not a lake, leading the soldiers of the second platoon to rush out of the four pipes, with the help of the raised mountain to get close to the brother troops, quickly replacing their wounded, and letting the other soldiers drag the wounded down first.
Wu Qianli also rushed to the battlefield and made a covering gesture to Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan understood, nodded and raised his gun to shoot at the American troops on the bridge.
Under the cover of Xia Yuan, Wu Qianli and the second platoon of soldiers rescued the Ninth Company suppressed by the American army, just when the team was about to move back and retreat, an American soldier in a strange costume suddenly stood out from the enemy's bunker, holding a strange gun in his hand, followed by a dazzling hot flame to light up the dark night, two or three soldiers who were too close were instantly covered by the flames, and the heart-rending screams were transmitted far and wide on this gentle slope.
Wu Qianli stopped and looked back, the brown Tong Kong was shrouded in a ball of flames, and he shouted, "Xia Yuan!
! ”
Xia Yuan had already raised his gun to aim, pulled the trigger, a bullet pierced the strangely dressed head, the muzzle of the jet flame fell to the ground, and instantly ignited himself, the surrounding American soldiers scolded and dodged, and the unfortunate American soldier was ignited by the flames, he rolled on the ground in pain, and an explosion enveloped the two people, and there were no bones.
Xia Yuan put away his gun, and looked fixedly at the bodies of the three volunteers who were already lying on the ground, the flames were still burning, through his powerful vision and night vision, in that flame, the lives of the three volunteers were disappearing rapidly, and when they died, their bodies had become distorted and burned into charcoal.
The team on the mountain had withdrawn, Xia Yuan retracted his gaze, and quickly disappeared into the darkness with his gun.
Dawn.
Under the cliff on the side of the mountain, there is a U-shaped cave, which is only five or six meters deep, and the soldiers of the seventh company have settled the wounded of the ninth company in the cave.
Pinghe was draped in a white steamer cloth and lay on the water pipeline, staring at the American troops on the Watergate Bridge, and there were scouts on the top of the mountain who were responsible for reconnaissance to ensure safety.
"Talking about the battalion commander, long time no see."
Xia Yuan greeted Tan Ziwei when he saw him.
In order to catch his breath, Tan Zi's dark cheeks showed a more far-fetched smile: "Listen to Wu Qianli, you became a platoon commander?" ”
"Fluke."
Xia Yuan smiled, his eyes swept over Tan Ziwei's body, and found that his body was curled up, his left hand always blocked his body, his face was also a little ugly, the only skin that was not blackened by dirt and gunpowder smoke was pale, and his body was stained with blood that he didn't know who it was.
His expression changed: "Talk about the battalion commander, are you injured?" ”
Tan Ziwei hurriedly silenced, "Be quiet, it's just to scratch some skin, it's nothing." ”
Xia Yuan took out the bandage from his body: "I'll deal with it for you." ”
Tan Ziwei grabbed him, "No, leave the bandages for the wounded." ”
Xia Yuan stared at him, "You are weak when you speak, I'll deal with it for you first." ”
Wu Qianli came over with a gun and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Tan Ziwei glared at Xia Yuan with his eyes, Xia Yuan didn't care at all, and said, "Company commander, Tan Battalion Commander is injured." ”
Wu Qianli sat on the stone, his eyes fell on Tan Ziwei's left hand, and he reached out to pull it: "I'll take a look." ”
Tan Ziwei struggled and said, "Wu Qianli, don't move!" I'm fine. ”
Wu Qianli smiled: "You be quiet, if your soldiers find out that you are injured, you must not die of sadness, hurry up and let Xia Yuan deal with it for you, otherwise I will shout." ”
When Tan Ziwei heard this, he seemed to notice that there were nonchalant eyes around him, so he gave up the struggle and removed his left hand, revealing a torn cotton coat and a bright red blood hole.
"So serious!"
Xia Yuan was taken aback and continued: "It was directly penetrated, company commander, you need to quickly take the battalion commander to the rear, our company lacks effective treatment methods, and I only have some anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers on me." ”
Wu Qianli turned his head to look at Tan Ziwei, and Tan Ziwei said, "Look at what I'm doing, I won't go." ”
Wu Qianli turned his head to look at Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan understood, Wu Qianli hugged his arms and said, "It's okay if you don't go, but you have to listen to me, take care of your body first." ”
Tan Ziwei turned his head and just wanted to refute, Xia Yuan reluctantly made a move, and a knife slashed at the back of Tan Ziwei's neck, Tan Ziwei didn't even react, and was suddenly attacked by Xia Yuan and passed out.
"If you don't treat this wound in time, you will die."
Xia Yuan first gave Tan Zi some anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers, and then tightened it with a bandage, "Company commander, find three soldiers to send Tan Battalion Commander to the rear for treatment first, it's definitely not okay here." ”
Wu Qianli nodded: "Okay, I'll ask where their ninth company commander is." ”
Mei Sheng walked over, saw the unconscious Tan Ziwei, and asked, "What's wrong with the battalion commander?" ”
"I was seriously injured, and if I didn't treat it in time, it was estimated that my life would be in danger." Xia Yuan's eyes fell on Mei Sheng's eyes, and he fell into deep thought: "Instructor, have you taken the anti-inflammatory medicine?" ”
"That thing is useless, let's save it for the wounded who need it."
Mei Sheng didn't care, and patted Xia Yuan's shoulder: "You go to rest and rest, and I'll take care of the rest, there will be a bad battle tonight." ”
Xia Yuan shook his head and handed over all the medicines on his body to Mei Sheng, "Instructor, your eyes can't be dragged off, it's best to take some anti-inflammatory drugs, I have seized a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs before, you take some first." ”
Mei Sheng said: "I know my own eyes, you go to rest first, and I will give some medicine to the wounded." ”
Xia Yuan looked at Mei Sheng's stubborn back, shook his head helplessly, and shouted again.
"Instructor, then I'll go get some hot food."
"Okay."
