Chapter 25: Fierce Battles, Rapidly Depleting Ammo

The enemy attacked so intensively, Xia Yuan didn't even need to aim, he continuously pulled the trigger, and the big eight bullets harvested the enemy's lives one after another, and when the enemy approached, he pulled the grenade and blew the enemy back.

But the number of enemies was too much, and Company Commander Gao received news from all lines that the battle had reached its most intense, and Company Commander Gao ordered: "Defend Ganling on Wusheng Mountain!"

Even if you fight out, you can't lose your position! ”

The unfatal charge of the big head soldiers, followed by the ever-expanding artillery fire, washed over and over the forward positions of our army. There were basically only more than 10 fighters stationed in each position, and they were scattered on the positions in battle groups, stubbornly blocking the enemy.

On the wide position, almost every soldier has his own area of responsibility and personal goals, because the enemy's artillery fire is too dense, it is impossible to send a large number of troops in Shangganling, our army can only adopt the tactics of small soldiers, and the idea of small soldiers is also put forward by Xia Yuan, with each squad as a unit, one squad by one to hold the position.

This can effectively reduce the huge casualties caused by the enemy's fierce artillery fire, and can also sacrifice a small number of troops in exchange for a majority of the enemy's forces.

The sun slowly rose, Xia Yuan's grenades had all been lost, he kept changing his position, continuously pulling the big eight, sending bullets into the enemy's chest, in his personal current forward position, it was already full of enemy corpses, the enemy's artillery fire fell on the position, and it was not dirt that rolled up, but blood and flesh.

When the bullets on the Hu squad leader are exhausted, they will be smashed with grenades, and when the grenades are lost, they will throw stones, the enemy is crazy, and the soldiers of our army are even more crazy.

The battle lasted for an hour, the casualties of the first squad of soldiers were too great, all the bullets carried on their bodies were exhausted, and there was not even a gap to go back to replenish the bullets, part of the forward positions had been captured, and at a critical juncture, the soldiers of the second squad carried a large number of weapons and ammunition to reinforce the first squad, and even the senior company commander and Instructor Lin also participated in the battle with guns.

"Comrade Xia Yuan, this is the grenade that our squad leader asked us to bring you."

In the crater, two fighters touched and sent all the grenades on their bodies.

Xia Yuan leaned in the crater, he couldn't see any expression on his dark face, he took the grenade, didn't speak, pulled the grenades one by one, threw them far away, and threw the grenades into the center of the enemy's team, the grenades exploded over the enemy, and the broken shrapnel seriously injured many American soldiers.

The two warriors' eyes were full of brilliance, and they admired Xia Yuan more and more in their hearts, and after admiring it, they quickly threw themselves into the battle with their guns in their hands.

The fierce battle has been going on for an hour.

It was already six o'clock in the morning, but the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and through the thick smoke, only the dark yellow outline of the sun could be seen.

The smoke and dust were billowing from the position, the guns were whistling, the grass and trees were whimpering, and what appeared in front of them was a mess, the trenches and communication ditches that were more than one person deep before were now unable to cover even their knees, and all the digging fortifications were ploughed flat by the enemy's artillery fire, and the soldiers had to lie down in the craters and persist in fighting.

Xia Yuan's bunker also became a crater formed by the enemy's shells falling down, and the enemy's bullets whizzed through the top of his head, so that he had to lower his head and hide his body in the crater, and the addition of the second squad basically reversed the occupation, and the locust-like enemy finally couldn't withstand the firepower of the volunteers on the Shangganling defense line and had to start retreating.

When the enemy began to retreat, the US planes, artillery and tanks began to roar again, and shells continued to scream in the sky.

The position was littered with rolling dirt.

Company Commander Gao shouted, asking Instructor Lin to send out a signal flare, asking the volunteers behind the mountain to support the artillery fire and strike at the retreating American troops, but the signal flare had already risen into the air, but there was no movement of our artillery fire for a long time, he looked up and immediately understood.

Where there is still the shadow of signal flares, there is thick smoke and dust everywhere, enveloping the entire Shangganling, and the signal flares from this side of the mountain cannot be seen from the rear at all.

"I'm going to call!" Instructor Lin held the gun.

"It's too late, the enemy has already run, there is no need to waste any more shells." Company Commander Gao looked at the retreating American troops and immediately shouted: "Let the soldiers dig trenches again!" The enemy will soon attack again! ”

"Hey!"

Instructor Lin got up and went to inform the soldiers on the position, a shell fell next to Instructor Lin, and with a boom, there was a buzz in the ears of the high company commander, and when he turned his head, he could no longer see Instructor Lin.

He was taken aback and shouted, "Instructor! Instructor! ”

Where is there still the figure of the instructor, but there is a crater left in the place where Instructor Lin stood up just now, and a broken leg wrapped in rags and bubbling with blood falling next to it, you can see Sen Sen's white bones.

Gao Lian Chang was stunned.

"Company commander, company commander, the enemy is coming up again!"

In the midst of the loud artillery fire, some soldiers shouted.

Company Commander Gao was calm, not caring about anything, lying in the crater, straightening his hat that was crooked by the shock wave of the shell, and setting up a telescope to look down the mountain.

In front of the mountain, it is like a temple fair, everywhere is the enemy's steel helmet swaying, it is estimated that there are three or four battalions of troops, in order to attack the 597.9 heights, the enemy has also made a bloody investment, these three or four battalions of troops in the enemy's sixteen artillery battalions, thirty tanks, forty aircraft with the support of fire, once again launched a fierce attack on Shangganling.

Their main attack was the No. 7 position of the forward position of Shangganling, and there were only soldiers of one squad of our ninth company and four platoons stationed on the No. 7 position, except that there was no enemy behind them, the other three sides had been surrounded by the enemy, and the enemy used dozens of artillery pieces and more than 10 tanks and armored vehicles to attack this No. 7 position with the strength of nearly two battalions.

The enemy was like a tidal wave, attacking again and again, being repulsed again and again, and then attacking again and again, and again and again being repulsed.

A squad of more than ten fighters withstood the enemy's heavy fire blows, withstood the enemy's attack, held the position for several hours, repelled dozens of enemy attacks, and finally only two wounded people in the tunnel survived, and the other fighters died on the No. 7 position.

The loss of position 7 made the battle in the rear harder.

Comrade Zhao Fengshou was on the battlefield for the first time, and he listened to the words of the deputy squad leader, and when he was in the forward position of the enemy's second position, he followed the deputy squad leader, holding 50 Chong, and arrived at the forward position of the second position, where he blocked the American troops who rushed up.

The failure rate of 50 punches is very high, often fired a few shots, will be stuck, several times can not be fired, in this case, the volunteer soldiers are still stubbornly resisting the enemy's attack, the enemy's round after round of artillery fire continues to bloom on the highlands of Shangganling, Zhao Fengshou held the gun, endured the fear in his heart, shot at the enemy, threw grenades, and the short battle reduced his inner fear a lot.

"It's okay to fight!" The deputy squad leader held the gun and shouted happily, he ran over, stuffed the grenade in his arms to Zhao Fengshou, and said solemnly: "Zhao Fengshou!" You're going to be a battle hero! I believe! ”

A smile appeared on Zhao Fengshou's face.

Before leaving, the deputy squad leader said: "You must protect yourself!" ”

With that, he got up.

Suddenly, an enemy shell fell in front of Zhao Fengshou, and the shrapnel from the explosion directly tore the deputy squad leader apart, and he was also knocked unconscious by the sudden explosion.

When he fell down again, he vaguely heard the shouting, and when Zhao Fengshou woke up again, two hours had passed, and he saw the death of the deputy squad leader who was the best to him, suffering from severe bullet shock, and fearing war in the face of the menacing enemy, in this case, the squad leader did not blame Zhao Fengshou, but arranged him in the tunnel of the No. 2 position, for a short rest, and the squad leader rushed to the No. 2 position with people to confront the enemy.

There were already a lot of seriously wounded soldiers in the No. 2 tunnel, all of whom came down from the position and were seriously wounded, some had their arms blown off, some were blind and could no longer fight, and some soldiers had lost their legs and could not move.

Zhao Fengshou just had a little bruise on his arm, squatting in the pit with a gun, looking at the other soldiers in the pit and feeling the constantly vibrating pit tunnel, the fear in his heart was layer after layer, leaning against him was a person whose eyes were blinded by a shell, blood was constantly oozing from the wound bandages, and there was a first-aid kit in his arms, this soldier was holding the first-aid kit and was not willing to use it on himself.

The soldier seemed to notice Zhao Fengshou who was squatting opposite him, took out the first-aid kit in his arms that he was reluctant to use, handed it to Zhao Fengshou opposite, and asked weakly: "Comrade, are you injured?" I also have a first aid kit here, you can use it first. ”

Zhao Fengshou sat on the ground with a gun in his arms, raised his head and looked at the soldier in front of him, the gauze that tied his eyes was dirty and blackened by gunsmoke, and the blood flowing from the eyes on his hands was infected with bandages and flowed out of his cheeks.

He said to himself: "My eye is injured and I can't see anymore, and the first aid kit is for those in need." They need this first aid kit more than I do. ”

Zhao Fengshou didn't answer, and looked at the soldier in front of him fixedly, panicking in his heart.

The sound of guns and cannons is intertwined to form a cruel movement, on the battlefield, the squad leader also led the whole class of soldiers to resist, and he was only slightly injured and stayed in the tunnel, Zhao Fengshou tightened his tooth crown, and his blackened palm pinched the gun in his hand...

"Comrade, comrade." The soldier couldn't see it, and shouted softly, but in front of him, there was no longer Zhao Fengshou's figure.

The battle on the second position was extremely difficult, there were burning flames everywhere, under the mountain, everywhere you could see the figure of the enemy, in the distance, one tank after another kept roaring, and every time the cannon was fired, the ground dust around the tank was shaken and spread.

The shells hit the mountain, and the whole mountain shook.

Every position was met with a frantic attack by the enemy.

The situation in the No. 1 position has improved slightly, Xia Yuan relied on his powerful sniper ability, one bullet after another to harvest the enemy's lives, he continued to wander the position, looking for bombed craters one after another, and with the help of his own sniper advantage, quickly supported the volunteer soldiers in the forward position under great pressure.

Xia Yuan's eyes were extremely keen, his eyes kept looking, the bullets pierced the enemy's big head soldier with a recoilless cannon with his line of sight, and the shells around him exploded one after another, burying him quickly, Xia Yuan picked up the shovel, kept digging on the position, constantly expanding the bunker under him, and dug a groove in the sniper position, so that even if a shell fell on his side, the broken shrapnel would not hurt himself.

However, due to the enemy's firepower being too fierce, the trench he dug was quickly buried, Xia Yuan continued to shoot while cleaning up the trench under him, and the bullets on his body were also rapidly depleting, and a large number of enemy corpses were already piled up on the defense line of the forward position.

Xia Yuan's marksmanship became more and more accurate and skilled, and the soldiers on the forward position were brave and fearless, they were not worried that their side would be broken through by the enemy, because with a strong backing behind them, they became more and more courageous, and constantly vented all the bullets on their bodies.

By nine o'clock, they had repelled several enemy counterattacks, and the enemy's artillery fire was basically destroyed by the fortifications on the surface of the position, and there was no complete position fortifications.

Gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire battlefield, obscuring the sky and the sun.

After the fierce battle, the ammunition became less and less, and the personnel became less and less, the company commander Gao was completely black, and the clothes on his body were dyed black and yellow, and squad leader Hu reported that they had repelled 21 enemy attacks, and they had sacrificed 15 comrades.

Company Commander Gao asked, "Are there any wounded?" ”

The hygienist said: "Every comrade put it on, and they didn't let me carry it or bandage it, and they said that they could continue to fight." ”

The hygienist was very touched by the persistence of the wounded, and he felt very aggrieved that he could not perform his duties when he needed him most. The tense battle situation and a high sense of responsibility made the soldiers forget about themselves, and the high company commander was only able to use stern orders to make them temporarily stop the battle in their hands and bandage their wounds.

The fighters, who had not yet been wounded, quickly returned to the pit and replenished their weapons and ammunition.

After Instructor Lin died, the company commander Gao was responsible for the ammunition consumption on the entire position, and the female hygienist Wang Lan originally wanted to come to the surface position with the health staff of the seventh company to help the wounded, but was rejected by the company commander Gao, so she stayed in the tunnel to take care of the wounded sent down while counting the ammunition consumption.

The No. 1 tunnel is stocked with ammunition that can be used by the volunteer soldiers for more than a month, and after the battle begins, each tunnel needs to be replenished, and the ammunition consumption is very alarming in just half a day of fighting, and the wear and tear of the guns is even more serious.
