Chapter Ninety-Seven: Retreating U.S. Army, Hidden Danger (REDACTED)

As the Volunteer Army in the southeast stopped the offensive and the news reached the command, Lieutenant Colonel Askhan was furious, "Fuck! We've been tricked! Their real target is our command! Order the troops to withdraw immediately and hold the command! ”

β€œyes,sir!”

The 7th Interspersed Company blew up the artillery positions of the American army and quickly retreated to the rear, and Wu Qianli shouted: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

"Company Commander Wu, our men are about to attack the enemy's headquarters! Wait! ”

Wu Qianli said: "Don't wait, retreat immediately, you can't fight, don't forget that there is still our second platoon in the southeast, we need to cooperate!" ”

The artillery position was blown up by them, and it didn't matter if the command headquarters didn't end it, it didn't end it this time, and it can still be taken off next time.

"Yes! Retreat now! ”

The whistle for retreat sounded, and the men of the 9th and 7th companies quickly retreated to the rear, fighting as they went, and at the same time, the Pinghe sniper squad on the high slope saw that the 7th Interspersed Company and the 9th Company began to retreat, and after killing several American soldiers, they also began to get off the mountain from the mountain.

They retreated very quickly, and when American reinforcements arrived, they were left with only a mess of artillery positions and a large number of artillery corpses, and where there was still the enemy.

The rear of the American army encountered a sneak attack, the artillery position was bombed, the enemy had attacked to the front of the headquarters, and Lieutenant Colonel Ashan, who was placed by the volunteers, was extremely angry, as if he had been bitten by a weak bug, without the artillery position, the enemy's figure was gone, and his fury was just incompetent rage.

And that's just the beginning.

On the U.S. side, the southeast and headquarters were attacked, especially the artillery positions, the mortars were captured by the volunteers, and the artillery was blown up, so that the American troops lost their artillery positions. The Ninth Company almost stormed the headquarters, and one of the platoons responsible for protecting the headquarters suffered heavy losses.

The two companies have returned to the defense headquarters to prevent the large forces of the Volunteer Army from attacking the headquarters again, and at the same time, one platoon in the south and north of the bridge has been left to guard the Watergate Bridge, and the remaining wounded soldiers have been brought back to the headquarters to recuperate.

A platoon south of the Watergate Bridge stayed behind to reinforce the fortifications, especially the heavy machine gun fire points, which had suffered heavy losses from the previous battles and had destroyed searchlight equipment.

In the dark, Xia Yuan led the remaining battle team to the southeast again, and he quickly issued a combat order: "This time we will change our strategy and fight hard, but we must also pay attention to our own safety, and the enemy's firepower will be handed over to me." As soon as the American reinforcements reached a company, we quickly changed our fighting style and, after holding on to the spot for ten minutes, began to retreat to the rear! ”

"This time the U.S. army has no artillery, only tanks remain, as long as we are in a low-lying area, their tanks will not be able to hit us, hold on for ten minutes, hear my voice, don't fall in love with the war, retreat quickly! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Xia Yuan nodded heavily: "Okay, let's go now!" ”

"Yes!"

The remaining seven combat groups that still had combat effectiveness quickly dispersed and quietly hid behind bunkers, waiting for Xia Yuan's attack order, while at the same time, the 7th Interspersed Company and the 9th Company, which had retreated to the rear, were also waiting for Xia Yuan's attack order.

The action plan remains the same, with the southeast top and the northwest hitting.

If the U.S. forces resolutely hold on to the headquarters, the battle in the northwest direction will turn into a sheep attack, and the battle will stop after 10 minutes, and so on and so forth, paralyzing the U.S. troops, and the attack and defense will be switched in the second half of the night.

To put it bluntly, it's a psychological game to play.

However, plans always go in the other direction.

In the southeast, Xia Yuan came to the previous sniper position, the last battle did not expose his sniper position, this time the reinforcements of the US army returned to the defense headquarters, there were not many US troops left on the bridge deck, three tanks plus a platoon of troops, this belongs to the south of the bridge, the north direction of the bridge can not be observed, and the firepower of the US army in the north of the bridge is mostly on the high mountains.

The deployment of troops in the north and south of the bridge will not differ too much.

Xia Yuan reasoned in his heart.

The previous battles certainly led to heavy losses of the Volunteers, but the losses of the American troops were even more serious than those of the Volunteers, not to mention the dead, the wounded alone were close to the strength of a platoon, and these wounded would be seriously dragged by the American troops on the Watergate Bridge.

"The strength of a platoon, plus three tanks, the strength of the US army on the Watergate Bridge is just a tank battalion, and there are not many people who can fight, maybe the bridge bombing mission will be smoother tonight!"

Xia Yuan took a breath of cold air, rubbed his palms, reached out to wipe the fog off his watch, and looked at the time, "It's almost." ”

Wiping the snowflakes on the gun, Xia Yuan aimed at the American soldier carrying the ammunition box on the bridgehead, gently pulled the trigger, the gun rang out, and the bullet penetrated the body of the big-headed soldier, and the body of the American soldier carrying the weapon and ammunition fell to the ground as if he had been whipped by a whip, and the box containing ammunition fell to the ground with a clatter.

Another U.S. soldier was also quick enough to react, and when he saw his companion being shot, he shouted in horror, "FCUK!"

The enemy is here again! Rolling and crawling into the bunker, the U.S. troops south of the bridge were suddenly alarmed, and bullets continued to harvest the U.S. troops who did not hide in the bunker.

β€œshit! It's a sniper! What about our snipers! ”

"Dead!"

β€œfuckοΌŸβ€

Xia Yuan fired, this was the order to attack, Wu Wenxiang shouted: "Fight!" "Several combat groups quickly fired at the American fortifications, and the groups covered each other and leaped forward.

In the rear, Xia Yuan continued to shoot and kill the machine gunners of the US army, and hit several fire points for five minutes, and without the enemy's artillery bombardment, the US troops south of the bridge did not even dare to take the head, and could only rely on the US tanks to carry out covering shelling.

However, the U.S. military was condescending, and this kind of shelling either hit the ravine, or blew up to the surrounding bunkers, and it was impossible to bomb the charging volunteers at all.

The most critical point was that the heavy firepower of the US army could not be activated, and the entire firepower point was suppressed by Xia Yuan.

The US soldiers hiding in the bunker cursed that they could only throw grenades out of the bunker, and even raised their weapons high and fired indiscriminately at the bottom of the mountain, as for whether they hit or not, it is unknown.

The U.S. command, Lieutenant Colonel Askhan has received the news that Qiaonan is being attacked by the volunteers again, and there is even an enemy sniper suppressing the big soldiers, the heavy fire cannot be started, Qiaonan is on the verge of loss, Lieutenant Colonel Ashan looked at the map, frowned, and asked the adjutant next to him: "Where do you think the cunning enemy is attacking this time?" ”

The adjutant said: "Watergate Bridge and Command." ”

β€œfuck! Of course I know it's the Watergate Bridge and the Command! Lieutenant Colonel Askhan scolded: "I'm asking you, this time the enemy attacked the position!" We have lost our artillery positions, which means that we have lost a means of effectively striking the enemy, and we have to wait until dawn, but you see where we are now, we must be able to hold out until dawn! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Ashan's artillery battalion had just arrived at the Watergate Bridge, and many of the fortifications had not had time to be completed, and today they were set up by the enemy, and the artillery positions that had just been brought over were stolen by the enemy, and the enemy was moving in the mountains, and the tanks could play a very little role.

The enemy has snipers again.

"Sir, if the enemy wants to tie up our large forces, they must blow up the bridge, and their goal is the bridge."

The deputy thought about it seriously and said.

Lieutenant Colonel Ashan smoked a cigar and thought seriously: "Then let the troops on the bridge retreat, retreat to the rear and hide, and lead them to the bridge!" When they get on the bridge, we'll strike and wipe them out on the bridge! ”

β€œyes,sir!”

An order was issued to the south and north of the bridge, and the American troops who had been holding on to the south and north of the bridge quickly retreated to the rear, and even the tanks drove away.

Xia Yuan raised his head and stared, "The enemy has retreated!?" ”

The U.S. troops did not resist, they didn't even bring heavy machine guns, they ran away behind the tanks and withdrew to the rear, this scene not only made Xia Yuan a little dumbfounded, but even the volunteer soldiers were a little dumbfounded, they did not attack again, but waited for Xia Yuan's order.

He quickly slid down the mountain and quickly found Wu Wenxiang along the bunker, "What's the situation, how did the American troops retreat." ”

Wu Wenxiang shook his head: "I don't know. ”

"Don't worry, let me think about it."

Northwest.

The scout quickly ran back, "Company commander, the guns are silent from the south." ”

"What!" Wu Qianli was shocked, and after listening carefully, he was really out of the way, he quickly asked: "What is the situation with the US troops on the command post?" ”

"The enemy sent only one reinforcement, not much, at most a platoon." The scout quickly replied.

"What is the U.S. military doing?" Mei Sheng said.

Yu Congrong had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "Company commander, could it be..."

Wu Qianli pondered: "Don't worry, wait!" ”

South of the bridge, Xia Yuan raised his head and said: "It is unlikely that the US army will give up defending the bridge, but we can't help but blow up the bridge, they are very likely to wait for us to take the bait, this is not good news, our task is to contain the enemy, attract the enemy's reinforcements, and let the company commander blow up the headquarters smoothly." ”

"We have to think of a way to do it as soon as possible!"

Xia Yuan recalled in his mind the layout of the U.S. military on the Watergate Bridge.

The north of the bridge is the center of the rear of the US military and the south of the bridge, Xia Yuan does not know how the follow-up Changjin Lake Movie Seventh Company blew up the Watergate Bridge, but he knows that it is not possible to blow up only one section of the bridge by blowing up the Watergate Bridge, the industrial base of the US military is very strong, even if the task of blowing up the bridge is really completed, the US military can get a set of steel bridges to be erected on it within two days.

So if you want to blow it up, you have to blow up the entire bridge.

"The plan has changed, since the US troops have retreated and retreated, then we will go in, at least we will beat them until they have to reinforce!"

Xia Yuan pondered for a long time, raised his head and said, "Now give a new combat order, Lao Wu, you take four combat teams to touch up from the south of the bridge, you must maintain the battle formation, but you are not allowed to go to the bridge, you are only allowed to harass the enemy outside, when you move, especially be careful of the top of your head, there are many houses erected by the US army on the Watergate Bridge, we are below, if they are above, they can catch us off guard!" ”

"I took three combat teams to the north of the bridge to observe and observe."

Wu Wenxiang stared at him, "Platoon commander, then you have to be careful!" ”

Xia Yuan nodded, "You also have to be careful, the U.S. military will not give up, and their retreat this time is very likely to be a hidden trick." When you move, you must keep the team scattered and not gathered together, giving the US tanks a chance to play. ”

"Yes!"

"The one-two-three-four battle group stays, and the five-six-seven battle group follows!"

Xia Yuan led three battle groups to retreat, passed through four water diversion pipes, and came to the north of the bridge, where he hid behind the bunker and quickly observed the north of the bridge.

As in the case south of the bridge, there were no American troops in the fortifications north of the bridge, but not seeing it does not mean that there were none, and maybe the American troops were hiding in the trenches.

He has observed the situation in the south of the bridge, the US army is retreating to the north of the bridge, but the situation in the north of the bridge has not been observed, it is equivalent to a black in front of him, Xia Yuan quickly observed the terrain, and his eyes fell on a bunker under the road, the position of this bunker is very favorable, as long as he occupies this position, he can rush to the fortifications built by the US army.

"Go up to three people, first seize the advantageous terrain!"

Xia Yuan erected the big eight grains, and immediately ordered, staring cautiously at the fortifications built by the North American army on the bridge, and there was no enemy found as far as his eyes could see.

The three fighters of the fifth group formed a three-three battle formation and groped for the bunkers under the enemy's fortifications.

Suddenly, a strangely dressed American soldier stood up from the bunker of the fortification, and was about to pull the trigger in his hand when a bullet pierced his head, accompanied by Xia Yuan's voice, sounded: "Hide!" ”

Before they could react, the heavy machine guns of the American troops suddenly rang out, and a chain of fire instantly strafed, the bullets pierced through their bodies, and they fell heavily to the ground, soaking the ground with blood.

At the same time, Xia Yuan pulled the trigger and shot the second bullet through the head of the American soldier who was controlling the heavy machine gun.

This series all happened between the lightning and flint, and even Xia Yuan's reaction couldn't keep up.

"Sure enough, this group of foreign devils didn't have a good heart!" The leader of the sixth battle group clenched his hands into fists and hung fiercely on the ground.

Xia Yuan held the gun, hid behind the bunker, and his eyes swept around.

"It's not a good position, we need to keep going around the road."

Taking a deep breath and looking at the three dead soldiers, Xia Yuan was annoyed in his heart, knowing the plan of the US army, he also sent three soldiers up, because of himself, causing the three soldiers to die.

"Platoon commander, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Said one of the fighters.

"This is a mistake on my part of command, and after the battle is over, I will report my mistake to the instructor and the company commander."

Xia Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the bunker in front, that position was very good, occupying that position, with the help of the rear fire cover, he would be able to attack the US army's fortifications.

As for why they didn't throw grenades, the US troops were hiding in the trenches, and they didn't know where the enemy was dodging, and the grenades that were thrown over were very limited in what they could hurt, and the most important thing was that there were not many grenades on them, and the grenades had to be left at critical moments.

"No! There can be no more roundabouts, it's too late! ”

Xia Yuan glanced at the time, gritted his teeth, and carefully observed the fortifications of the American army, the enemy was able to shoot when the three soldiers rushed up, which means that they must have a position to see this side, and that position is very hidden, Xia Yuan carefully observed, but he was not able to find it, he gritted his teeth and said: "This time you cover me!" I'm coming! ”

The other six fighters were shocked, "Platoon commander, you can't go!" Let's go! ”

"Resolutely carry out the order!"

Xia Yuan roared, his eyes reddened, "Remember, if I'm injured, don't come to save me!" You guys go back to Qiaonan and act with the deputy platoon commander! Tell the deputy platoon commander to remember to use two mortars! Be sure to strictly follow the plan in front of the station! ”

"Yes!"
