Chapter Ninety-Nine: The 'Smart' U.S. Army Commander
The Battle of Watergate Bridge Completed?
Xia Yuan heard the movement in his mind, obviously stunned for a moment, the gate of the power station was suddenly opened, in the moment of being stunned, his afterglow had already caught a glimpse of the US military who was about to pull the trigger as soon as he opened the gate, at this moment, Xia Yuan's terrifying reaction was highlighted, raising the gun to aim, pulling the trigger, the whole action was very clean and sharp, without the slightest drag, at the moment when the muzzle was raised, the bullet had been fired over.
After killing the U.S. troops at the door, Xia Yuan didn't care about checking the system tasks, quickly put away his gun and retreated, and immediately shouted: "The bridge has exploded!" Fall back! ”
The three soldiers of the seventh battle group were still in a daze, and they were excited by Xia Yuan's voice, and followed Xia Yuan's footsteps closely with guns, and on the way up the mountain, after finding the six groups, they detoured from the direction of the back mountain along the steep mountain to the south of the bridge.
The mountain was cold and slippery, steep, and the soldiers supported each other, carefully advancing along the mountain, Xia Yuan walked in the forefront, holding the ground with the handle of his gun, and groping as he advanced.
The U.S. military lieutenant south of the bridge saw the blown up Watergate bridge deck and the blown up tank, and shouted angrily: "Fuck!
fuck!
Report to the command now! The Watergate Bridge has been blown up, and we need reinforcements! We need reinforcements! ”
In their rear, the volunteer soldiers led by Wu Wenxiang rushed to the road, and with the cover of the slope, they were engaged in a fierce battle with the American troops on the bridge deck, and the heavy machine guns on the tank sprayed a string of hot fire chains in the dark night, Wu Wenxiang shouted: "Resist!" Hit me hard! Three combat teams touched and dropped grenades, and others took cover! ”
He didn't know what was happening on the bridge deck, but from the explosion just now, it was estimated that the platoon commander's plan was successful, they touched the bridge deck, and successfully blew up the Watergate Bridge of the US army, but they did not receive the order to retreat, and they did not know whether the platoon commander got out safely, as long as he contained the US troops in front of him, maybe the platoon commander would be able to get out smoothly.
On the top of the mountain in the northwest direction, Wu Qianli led the troops to touch the back mountain, and was observing the US troops in the mountain col. ”
Mei Sheng said: "I don't know, Qianli, if we drag it out any longer, we will miss the opportunity to fight." ”
Wu Qianli observed the American troops in the mountain col and said: "I know, but now I don't know what is happening in Qiaonan, if we don't cooperate well with Xia Yuan and them in our current attack, it is very likely that we will have heavy casualties, and the reinforcements of the American army have not yet set off." ”
Pinghe suddenly shouted: "Company commander, look at the American troops below, they seem to be going to support." ”
"Binoculars!"
Wu Qianli turned around and shouted, took the telescope handed over by the soldier, wiped the lens, and quickly looked down the mountain.
Through the dim lights on the U.S. military position, the U.S. troops at the bottom of the mountain drilled out of their camp tents, and one by one they were ready to go, with a full 100 people, to check the equipment.
They're going to support the U.S. troops on the Watergate Bridge.
Wait, and tanks were dispatched!
Wu Qianli was a little unconvinced, observed carefully, and stared: "The foreign devil really went to reinforce the American army south of the bridge, there are two platoons of foreign devils!" Xia Yuan's plan succeeded, instructor, let the soldiers check the equipment, and after ten minutes, launch a general attack! “
"Yes!"
"Check your gear!"
"Check your gear!"
Tonight is definitely the darkest day for Lieutenant Colonel Ashan, the volunteer army launched several attacks last night, but it only blew up the edge of the Watergate bridge.
During the day, he had just arrived at the Watergate Bridge, and he was confident that the Watergate Bridge would be firmly in his hands.
However, in the evening, the enemy attacked twice, and even their artillery positions were destroyed by the enemy, and the American troops on the Watergate Bridge could no longer hold it, and they continuously called for reinforcements to the headquarters.
What did he want to ask, did the lieutenant on the Watergate Bridge have in his head, a whole company, but he couldn't protect the Watergate Bridge, and was defeated by a group of 'primitive people' with backward weapons and equipment.
He really wanted to pull the lieutenant in charge of the command over, put a gun to his head, and scolded him fiercely: "Fuck, you! ”
"Sir, if the enemy attacks our headquarters at this time, it is very likely that the headquarters will be captured, and they have completed the task of blowing up the bridge."
“fuck! Can I not know! But you know, in this battle of brains, I have figured out what this cunning enemy is thinking, and their target is our headquarters! Their real target is our command! ”
Lieutenant Colonel Askhan scolded, "They want to use the Watergate Bridge to kill our headquarters!" fuck! I should have thought of it a long time ago! But it's not too late, I've seen it through! Do you think I'm going to get them reinforcements? The cunning enemy must be watching from the shadows, and they will only take the bait if they let the troops move! ”
He nodded: "This is a collision of wisdom!" Aren't cunning enemies fond of hide-and-seek! Then let them come! Inform the reinforcements of the E Company, stop on the road after departure, you see, the enemy will attack the headquarters. ”
Adjutant: "Sir! You're so smart! The cunning enemy is trying to use the Watergate Bridge to take out our headquarters, and yes, we shouldn't have reinforced the Watergate Bridge in the first place. ”
Askhan scolded: "Fool, the Watergate Bridge must be defended, the command must also be defended, the enemy has not given up from the beginning, and we must too!" When notifying E Company, by the way, also notify the bridge guarding troops, let them act in unison, and don't act alone! These enemies are like cunning rats! We can't afford to be left to chance! ”
“yes,sir!”
Ten minutes later, the forward position on the north side of the headquarters was attacked by the volunteers, and Ashan of the headquarters had a cigar and cigarette in his mouth, and a smile appeared on his face:
"See, the enemy's target is our headquarters, their plan has been exposed, quickly order the reinforced E Company to return to defense, we will hit them hard!"
“yes,sir!”
Company E, which was on the way to reinforcements, received a message from the command and quickly returned to the rear.
The 7th Interspersed Company and the 9th Company once again launched a fierce attack on the US command headquarters, and the US troops became extremely weak in their firepower without the support of artillery positions, and the volunteer soldiers relied on the powerful three-three system tactics to constantly launch counterattacks against the US positional defense line.
Wave after wave.
Wu Qianli whistled and shouted: "Keep the sheep attack posture!" Don't be found by the enemy! ”
Obviously, the attack formed by the 7th Interspersed Company and the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company encountered a strong counterattack by the US army, and Wu Qianli understood that it would be more difficult to touch the enemy's headquarters for the first time and then try to touch it again, but the second and third attacks were sheep attacks.
The first time you can rely on the plan to catch the US army off guard, but the second and third times are to rely on the sheep attack to attract the enemy and pave the way for the subsequent transfer to the Watergate Bridge.
Therefore, the last two attacks were started in a sheep attack posture, and although the volunteer soldiers fought fiercely, they did not rush to fight, but with the help of the trenches dug by the enemy, and the enemy circled the position.
The most important thing is that they were horrified to find that their defensive circle was constantly shrinking, and everywhere they could hear other people shouting that their direction could not be resisted, and a large number of enemies appeared in their own direction.
With the launch of a flare, the offensive formations of the 7th and 9th Companies were instantly exposed to the flares.
The volunteers reacted very quickly, and when the enemy flares were lifted into the air, they had already begun to look for cover and hide, and after the heavy fire of the American troops was suspended in the air with the flares, a string of fire sickles sprayed over.
"Pinghe! Blow him up! ”
Wu Qianli rushed to the forefront with a submachine gun, and at the moment when the enemy's flare was lifted into the air, he had already found cover, and the heavy machine gun bullets of the US army were shooting at the bunker behind him.
"It's coming!" Pinghe set up Bazooka, and a rocket was launched, and with a bang, a mighty explosion rolled up a large amount of dirt and toads of the enemy's limbs, which were scattered like heavenly maidens, and intertwined with the snow.
"Why is the U.S. military's counterattack so strong this time!"
Mei Sheng patted the dirt off his head.
"I don't know! The ghost knows if this foreign devil is in a hurry with us, and the dog will jump off the wall if he is in a hurry. ”
Yu Congrong changed the bullets, shouted, turned around and made a sudden burst towards the position of the American army, and was soon retracted by the enemy.
"Company commander! Reinforcements from the U.S. Army are back! ”
Behind him, Pinghe shouted loudly, almost swallowed up by the sound of gunfire.
"How can it be so fast!"
Yu Congrong was taken aback, "Could it be that Xia Yuan's side is in addition to the problem!" ”
"It's unlikely, Xia Yuan's combat effectiveness is very strong, in the battle in Xinxingli, he took Lao Li and Lao Zhu Ke to take the enemy's position, how can this say that if something happens, something will happen?"
Pinghe ran over with a gun.
Wu Qianli's voice came from the other side: "Yu Congrong! Shut your crow's mouth! ”
And at this time, the other direction.
Xia Yuan led the six or seven battle groups on the way to retreat, saw the reinforcements of the American army in the distance, his vision was very good, and turned on the night vision device, and saw from a distance that the reinforcements of the American army stopped on the way to the reinforcements, and quickly turned back after the sound of gunfire in the rear.
"The commander of the U.S. military took the bait."
Xia Yuan grinned, led people down the mountain quickly, and saw Wu Wenxiang leading four battle groups to launch a fierce attack on the Watergate Bridge, they fought extremely fiercely, the enemy was blocked on the Watergate Bridge and could not move, because the Watergate Bridge terrain is narrow and there are curves, resulting in the US tanks being hindered.
After he came down, he quickly found Wu Wenxiang and led the volunteer soldiers south of the Watergate Bridge to retreat to the rear.
Wu Wenxiang shouted: "Company commander, why don't you fight?" ”
Xia Yuan said: "The Watergate Bridge has been blown up, and the US troops left on it are not in a good position, they want to cross the bridge, only to leave the tanks for people to pass, our goal has been achieved, just prepare to organize a third attack, and proceed according to the plan." ”
In fact, the U.S. military also has a power station, this location is relatively special, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the U.S. military hides inside and can't come out, even Xia Yuan doesn't have any way, and after going back, think carefully about other methods.
When he came to the pipeline, Xia Yuan saw Tan Ziwei and the two wounded soldiers, "Tan Battalion Commander, why did you come up?" ”
Talking about the remnants brought back by the battalion commander Xia Yuan, he said: "I am anxious to wait in the rear, so naturally I want to come over to see, how is the battle above, do you need our help?" ”
Xia Yuan's dark face twitched, and he grinned: "Talking about the battalion commander, you just look at it, the bridge of the US army can't be defended, and the command of the U.S. army can't be defended." ”
He said: "This time we will take the bridge and the headquarters. ”
Tan Battalion Commander praised: "Good! If the 1st Marine Division can be stopped at the Watergate Bridge, it will definitely not be able to escape! I've sent you some ammunition and you'll need it. ”
Xia Yuan saw a lot of grenades and bullet bags on the ground, and he was a little excited: "Thank you, Battalion Commander, I have fought two battles in a row, and the bullets have not been replenished." Wu Wenxiang, let the fighters replenish ammunition and immediately prepare for the third counterattack. ”
For a battle like the Watergate Bridge, the initiative is in their hands, and they can adapt to the situation. What Xia Yuan was most worried about encountering was positional warfare and blocking warfare, which were too tragic and had no initiative, so he could only block the enemy under the attack of the enemy's artillery shells and napalm one after another.
The battle at the Watergate Bridge was certainly fierce, but if it was handled properly and planned properly, it would not be a problem to take the Watergate Bridge.
The enemy's tank battalions do not have many infantry combat numbers, and the real threat is their tanks, but their tanks are also unable to exert the maximum effect due to weather and terrain, and the number of flares in reserve by the US army at this time is seriously insufficient.
Not to mention a tank battalion, it is a tank reinforced battalion, if the plan is skillful, they can fight by sniping alone, and they can't raise their heads.
What's more, the artillery positions of the US army were also terminated, heavy snow was falling in the sky, and the US planes could not take off.
At this moment, God was on the side of the volunteer soldiers.
“sir! You're right! The enemy south of the bridge has retreated! The enemy on our side was also repulsed by us. ”
The U.S. command, Lieutenant Colonel Ashan received the news of the retreat of the Qiaonan Volunteer Army, and at the same time, the reinforced E Company hit the enemy hard, and the enemy had been repulsed, he smoked a cigar, a smile appeared on his face, and said to the adjutant beside him: "Look, the real target of the cunning enemy is our command headquarters, although the Watergate Bridge has been bombed, we have strong sappers, and we can repair it if it is blown up, as long as we protect the command headquarters, hold on until dawn, and wait for our planes to take off, the enemy will die!" ”
“sir! What will happen to the next attack of the enemy. ”
"Their target now is our headquarters, as long as they are optimistic about the headquarters, the troops on the Watergate Bridge let them retreat appropriately, with the help of tank firepower, long-range attack on the enemy."
“yes,sir!”
