The soldiers of the 9th Company carried ammunition boxes, sapper shovels and their own guns, and blasting canisters on their backs, and set off in squad platoon units. When we arrived at the mouth of the tunnel, looking through the mouth of the tunnel to the half-hidden heights, the sky was still dreary, and the thick fog covered the position, and the shells kept falling, and the rolled up earth was splashed everywhere.

The soldiers of the seventh company at the mouth of the tunnel are holding sapper shovels to dig up the soil buried in the tunnel.

They saw that the soldiers of the Ninth Company were ready to fight, and an observer of the Seventh Company reminded: "Commander of the Ninth Company, when I first saw the enemy, the enemy was still about 200 meters away from the forward position of our army, and it is estimated that it will be more than 100 meters away at this time. ”

"Good!" The high company commander nodded, waved his hand to the soldiers, the soldiers quickly drilled out of the tunnel, naturally separated to the left and right, the first row and the second platoon went to the right side with greater pressure, and the third platoon went to the left side with less pressure, the soldiers shuttled through the No. 1 position under artillery fire, they hid in the crater, and continued to advance with the help of cover, and the shells exploded around them, except for the whistling when the shells fell, it was the roar when the shells exploded.

A soldier carrying an ammunition box who was more than five or six meters in front of Xia Yuan was unfortunately hit by a shell, which did not fall around him, but exploded in front of him, and the huge explosion directly blew the whole person apart, and fragments of clothes were splashed everywhere.

"Han Qingsheng!

”

"Let's go!"

The soldiers had no time to grieve, and any more stay meant an increase in the chance of being hit by an enemy shell, so they could only endure their grief and move on in order to reach their battle site in the shortest possible time.

Xia Yuan didn't know when he would be hit by a cannonball, maybe he would be sacrificed, but he only hoped that this day would come later, at least let himself kill more enemies and do more things.

On the No. 1 position, the trench that had just been dug last night had been flattened by the enemy's artillery plough, and a shallow ditch could be faintly seen, crooked and criss-crossed.

The fighters soon arrived on the right side of Position No. 1, placed ammunition boxes in craters, and quickly dug trenches, built bunkers and other fortifications in the face of fierce enemy fire.

"The enemy is coming!"

The sound of a long platoon was almost engulfed by artillery fire.

The shells continued to explode in the dirt around the soldiers, and the mud was vented everywhere, pouring on the soldiers' bodies, slapping on the soldiers' faces, the enemy had rushed up, and the soldiers had no time to dig deeper bunkers, and then dig shallowly, quickly bounced the ammunition away, set up their guns and aimed at the enemy who rushed up the mountain.

In the early morning, the fog in the mountains has not yet dissipated, mixed with the thick fog of gunpowder on the top of the mountain, and people can be seen shaking in the haze.

In the valley, the sound of artillery rumbled far and wide, shaking the fog in the mountains and trembling constantly, and the enemy was hidden in the dense fog, constantly leaning towards the top of the mountain, and a company leader shouted, "The fog in this mountain is so big, no one can see it clearly!" ”

Company Commander Gao's voice came from the other side: "Stay closer and fight again." ”

In the defensive area of the second platoon, Platoon Commander Sun Yuan touched Xia Yuan's side and said, "Such a big fog, how about it, can you hit it?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "The impact is not very great, but it will not work if it is farther away." ”

It's just that the smoke is fine, but the current situation is that the fog and smoke in the early morning are mixed, and the vision is seriously obstructed, and the eagle's vision can only be alleviated, and it can be seen clearly within a few tens of meters, and it is hazy farther away.

Sun Yuan, the platoon commander, withstood the enemy's artillery fire, shuttled between the soldiers, and kept carrying them: "Put some in and fight again, calm down, and when the enemy is close, throw grenades, and when you get closer, you will greet them with submachine guns." ”

Fifty meters away, the enemy could already be seen, and the enemy's artillery fire had been extended to the rear, so that the forward positions would no longer be subjected to enemy shelling.

When the enemy reached twenty meters, the soldiers hiding in the bunker picked up the grenade, their fingers had already hooked the grenade's pull line, and their eyes were staring at the enemy's figure in the thick fog.

"Hit!"

The commander of the high company shouted, pulled the trigger of the submachine gun in his hand, and the soldiers behind the bunker pinched the grenade in their hands for two seconds, and threw it hard at the enemy, and the grenade that was delayed for a few seconds in his hand fell on the top of the enemy's head, exploded, or fell in the crowd at a position half a person high and exploded, and the broken shrapnel was scattered everywhere, and the big-headed soldier who did not die at the first time let out a terrible scream.

Suddenly encountering the blow of the volunteers, the enemy rushed to the forward position without dying, and the guns in his hands continued to fire.

The bullets whizzed overhead, and the fighters in the bunker fought back, and when the submachine gun in their hands couldn't go off, they patted it and continued to try, and if it didn't sound again, they threw the submachine gun aside, picked up the grenade and smashed it hard at the enemy.

Xia Yuan incarnated as a sharpshooter, aiming at the machine gunners and flamethrower soldiers in the enemy group, continuously pulling the trigger, and the bullets that were discharged accurately shot the special soldiers in the enemy group, the bullets whizzed, a bullet took the life of an enemy, of course, sometimes the gun will be empty, the enemy is not a fool, standing there and letting you fight, they will constantly jump left and right, and hide in the crater from time to time, so that Xia Yuan can not effectively kill the enemy.

"Grenades!"

He shouted, staring at the figure in front of him, Sun Gong immediately pushed the ammunition box containing the grenade to Xia Yuan's side, Xia Yuan grabbed the grenade, unscrewed the cap, pulled the line to control the power, and threw it into the crowd, the grenade accurately landed on the enemies hiding in the crater, and the broken shrapnel exploded and they screamed.

Xia Yuan continued to throw grenades, and the precise and fierce throwing blew up the enemy in front of him so that he didn't dare to move forward, and the ground was full of enemy corpses and wailing wounded soldiers, and before the wounded soldiers could pick up their guns and shoot, a grenade fell on their heads.

The battle in the early morning of Shangganling kicked off.

Due to the defeat of the first day of the battle, the enemy increased the number of troops to attack Shangganling, and at present, the 537.7 heights have been firmly controlled by the enemy, and the 235th regiment can only mobilize troops to counterattack the three highlands occupied by the American troops on the 597.9 heights, which also creates another situation.

That is, the U.S. army can attack the 537.7 heights without dividing its forces, and can gather superior forces to launch a more fierce attack on the positions defended by more than a dozen volunteers on the 597.9 heights, and the enemy's charges are completely wave after wave, even if they are temporarily repulsed, but soon the enemy's heavy artillery is aimed at the forward positions of our army, and under the fierce bombardment of the enemy, the soldiers stationed in the front line cannot go to the rear to replenish ammunition, and the fighters in the rear cannot send ammunition and supplies to our troops on the forward positions.

The enemy's offensive in the early morning was extremely fierce, Xia Yuan felt a burst of progress, like locusts like the enemy all over the mountains, everywhere the enemy shook the steel helmet, our soldiers fought bloodily, met the enemy, after paying small casualties, finally withstood this wave of enemy attack, Xia Yuan sat in the trench with his ass, and put the gun with empty bullets on the ground.

Sun Gong said excitedly: "Squad leader! You're amazing! One person killed at least forty enemies! ”

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly: "This is just the first wave of the enemy's attack, it is not yet dawn, and more people will be killed next." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp whistling of cannonballs overhead, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers, the cannonballs fell on the forward positions and bloomed everywhere, the soldiers lay in the trenches, curled their bodies, the soil kept falling, the battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and shelling, Xia Yuan, who was curling his body, seemed to feel the end of the world, and the falling shells kept rolling up a large amount of soil, and the bunkers that had just been dug out were quickly buried, and a cannonball made a piercing and sharp whistling above Xia Yuan's head, Boom landed on the edge of the trench beside them.

In an instant, there was a buzzing in his ears, which kept ringing, Xia Yuan opened his mouth wide, and the sound reached his ears with a buzzing sound, and he shouted: "Sun Gong, are you okay?" ”

The buzzing sound was accompanied by Sun Gong's voice that something was wrong, "Squad leader, I'm fine." ”

Xia Yuan shook his head, he couldn't hear very clearly, his vision was basically blocked by the falling soil, he exhaled and inhaled, there was a pungent smell of gunsmoke, and the whistling cannonballs fell beside him again, he quickly curled up and kept himself in a lying position, his ears were buzzing, his body was constantly vibrating, the mud and sand were splashing, his eyes couldn't be opened, and his mouth and nose were pungent gunsmoke.

The world is at the end of the world.

After nearly half an hour of shelling, the fierce shelling gradually weakened and began to spread to the rear, and some veterans at this time could basically deduce that the enemy was pressing up again.

Sure enough, some of the surviving soldiers shook off the dirt on their bodies and guns, and looked up, in the thick fog and smoke, the enemy's locust-like figure pressed up in black, under such a huge pressure, Platoon Commander Sun didn't even have time to count the wounded, and struggled out of the trenches that were almost buried, seeing that there were few soldiers left in the second platoon on the forward position, he was distressed and angry at the same time, the enemy pressed up again, and the pressure of the volunteer soldiers in the forward position can be imagined, Even Xia Yuan, who had turned on the plug-in, felt deep despair.

He gritted his teeth, shook his head, picked up the gun in his hand, pulled the trigger, but there was no gunshot, it was jammed, Xia Yuan slapped the gun with his hand, tried again, still didn't work, threw the gun in his hand on the ground, grabbed a gun leaning against the wall of the trench, pulled the trigger, shot out of the chamber, and shot a US soldier.

Looking at the American troops who pressed up, he didn't care about picking up the ammunition buried in the mud, he continuously pulled the trigger, and eight bullets harvested the enemy's life, he stretched the gun in his hand to the side and shouted: "Sun Gong, move quickly, the enemy is coming!" ”

Seeing Sun Gong grab the gun in his hand, Xia Yuan turned around while shouting: "Sun Gong, you..."

But seeing that Sun Gong's movement was not seen in the almost filled trench, Xia Yuan was suddenly startled in his heart, and his hands were hard to pick up the soil, and suddenly, his eyes froze, looking at the soil in his palm.

Wet... He was even more frightened in his heart, and continued to dig down, the dirt was wet and black, and he couldn't see what it was.

Xia Yuan's heart had already risen a bad premonition.

He picked up the shattered rags, and saw the back of the lake of flesh and blood mixed with mud, and reached out to grab the dirt, and the flesh mixed with the dirt, sticking together.

"Sun Gong!"

Xia Yuan struggled hard, pulled Sun Gong up, his black mouth and nose were carrying a lot of dirt, he slapped Sun Gong's face with his hand, and shouted, "Sun Gong, Sun Gong." ”

Sun Gong had stopped moving.

"The enemy is coming!

”

In the sound of artillery, the shouts of the surviving soldiers came from the position, Xia Yuan gritted his teeth, didn't care about Sun Gong, picked up the gun and stuffed the ammunition on his body into the magazine, and looked forward calmly, the enemy's figure had already appeared on the forward position, and the volunteer soldiers stationed in the forward position were not many alive after experiencing round after round of enemy shelling.

Of the three platoons of fighters, only about thirty remained.

The difficult battle continued, blood kept coming out of the mouth and nose of the high company commander, his mind was dizzy, and in front of his eyes was the position of Mohu, when the high company commander realized that he was wounded, it was too late, but he heard it in his ears. The enemy is coming' shout, he is clever, regardless of the blood that keeps spurting in his mouth, he looks at the front with a fixed concentration, his eyes can't see clearly, Gao Lian Chang blinked anxiously, and he still couldn't see clearly, so he rubbed it with his hands, his eyes were full of mud and sand, blood was all over his eyes, two blood marks flowed from his cheeks, and his hands were already sticky.

Company Commander Gao grabbed a handful of dirt, and at the moment when his eyes could see clearly, he picked up his gun and shot at the enemy, but his injuries were too serious, his vision was disappearing, blood kept coming out of his facial features, and he couldn't even hear the sound of artillery in his ears, and he could only feel the vibration of the position under his body through his senses.

After being wounded, Company Commander Gao did not alarm the other soldiers, he still held the submachine gun and shot tenaciously, empty the bullets, groped on the ground and body with both hands, felt the bullet inside, changed the magazine with that feeling, and shot at the enemy again with the gun.

After the war, when the soldiers found Company Commander Gao, Company Commander Gao had already died, a large number of bullet casings fell from his side, and even reloaded bullets were found in some magazines, and those bullets were actually just eggshells stuffed in...

The platoon commander was sacrificed under the enemy's artillery fire, and the platoon leader could not be seen in the trenches, only some fragments of clothing were seen, the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, and the soldiers withstood the enemy's attack, but could not withstand the enemy's bombardment.

Rao was in such a battle attrition, the few remaining soldiers in the first and second platoons still withstood the last wave of the enemy's offensive before the sun rose overhead.

The hazy sunlight penetrated the thick smoke of gunpowder, and when it fell on the position, it was almost invisible, and a shell fell, and there was no shadow of sunlight, only the smoke of gunpowder, a scorched earth, and a position filled with a large number of shrapnel.

In the magazine, the last bullet came out of the chamber, piercing the body of a retreating American soldier, Xia Yuan put away his gun, looked at the American army that receded like a tide, he looked up at the sky again, and the gray sky could not see a trace of sunlight penetrating in, just like this battlefield, extremely depressing.

Standing on the forward position, there were only three or three volunteer soldiers, and after the enemy left a large number of corpses on the forward position, they fled in ashes.
