Chapter 36: The left flank is broken, and the battle is brutal
Xia Yuan kept pulling the trigger, and the bullets whizzed through the enemy's head, but soon the enemy's bullets poured down from the sky, it was the enemy fighter jets strafing the ground, and the bullets from the heavy machine gun sprayed two long chains of fire, like a long whip hitting the mountain, and there were splashes of dirt everywhere, slapping on the cheeks.
The top of the head and the front of the head have been subjected to unprecedented suppression.
At this moment, Xia Yuan realized the cruelty of the positional warfare of the volunteer soldiers and the difficulty of the resistance battle.
Our army can advance and retreat at any time and carry out all kinds of interspersed strikes, while the position can only hold on to the position without swerving, and it must endure the enemy's artillery bombardment and machine gun strafing, as well as the fierce attack of a large number of enemy troops, and it is also a squad by squad to deal with the enemy's fierce attack by a company or even a battalion, and there is a huge gap in weaponry, firepower, and numbers.
Xia Yuan didn't know how many people he had shot at all, only that the proficiency of his firearms skills was increasing at an incredible speed, and the bullets were like raindrops, whizzing through the top of his head, and the enemy's fire suppression began, and the soldiers struggled to fire at the enemy.
Hearing squad leader Hu's shout, Xia Yuan pulled out the grenade, and in between the enemy's shooting, he looked at the American troops attacking from the bottom of the mountain, threw the grenade down, and the grenade crossed an arc in the sky, and accurately landed on the American troops hiding in the crater to shoot.
The number of grenades is very sufficient, Xia Yuan kept throwing grenades, reducing the pressure on the soldiers on the position, the soldiers killed red-eyed Some soldiers desperately fought back against the enemy's fierce firepower, and the lucky soldiers were able to retract for ammunition replenishment, and the unfortunate soldiers were pierced through the head by the bullet and fell heavily to the ground.
This is a tragic meat grinder.
In just an hour of fighting, bad news came from the left side of the No. 1 position, the forward position where the third platoon was located had been captured by the enemy, except for a volunteer soldier who delivered the news, all the commanders and fighters of the third platoon basically died heroically.
They were now coming from the flank to the right side, and Company Commander Sun had a flash of heart and shouted: "Xia Yuan, Lao Hu, Lao Li, come with me!" Block enemies from the left side! ”
Xia Yuan responded, grabbed a few grenades, and did not forget to tell Wang Shou when leaving: "Protect yourself and stick to your position!" ”
The breakthrough of the left position was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, which plunged the already worse right side into a huge crisis.
"On the left is a high point, where I set up a machine gun, and the three of you form a battle group to block the enemy who touches on the left and make sure that the enemy does not attack our position from the left flank! As soon as the enemy and the enemy in the forward position form a front and rear encirclement, we are dumplings by the enemy! ”
Platoon Commander Sun looked at the position shrouded in thick smoke around him, said a few words to Xia Yuan and the others, and then climbed to the left, the mountain on the left is very steep, it is not easy to climb, put a machine gun here, can overlook the position on the left, and reinforce the battle group formed by the three people.
Patrolling the position is extremely dangerous, and if you do not know the situation of the position, you will not only not suppress the enemy's strength, but will lose the opportunity.
When he climbed to the top, he was astonished by what he saw, and below the high point was a steep slope, and below the hill was already crowded with a large number of American soldiers, who could at any moment penetrate the flank and rear, cutting off the defenders of the forward position on the right from the rear.
On that forward position, in the smoke of gunpowder, he saw a large number of corpses of the enemy and our troops.
Platoon Commander Sun looked to the rear and saw no shadow of reinforcements from the Seventh Company, so he immediately realized that the task of sticking to the left side fell on the four of them, and the enemy in front of him was at least a reinforced company, and even how long would it take.
Behind them was the forward position to the right of Position No. 1, where the fighters were still stubbornly resisting the fierce attack of the enemy, with enemy machine guns, 60 mortars, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, ...... And all kinds of light and heavy weapons, without Xia Yuan's sniping, they pressed even more frantically towards the only remaining soldiers of the squad, shrapnel hit in the air, flamethrowers spewed out a long line of fire, black smoke billowing and burning the already blackened and soft ground, the bullets whizzed through the thick smoke and dust, and the counterattack of the volunteer soldiers became weak and dark.
The splashing of earth made it impossible for them to open their eyes, and the smoke made it difficult for them to breathe, so that the soldiers who held their positions fought back with great difficulty under unequal conditions, and for them, the position was like their lives.
The battle on the left also began, the enemy occupied the forward position and was attacking the first position, their figures all over the position, black and oppressive.
When the heavy machine gun of the platoon commander Sun rang off at the high point, Xia Yuan pulled the grenade and threw it vigorously at a big-headed soldier with a special weapon on his back, and the grenade actually fell on his body accurately, with a bang, accompanied by the spread of flames, a fireball was instantly formed, and the big-headed soldier beside him was engulfed in flames.
This grenade gave squad leader Hu, Lao Li and platoon leader Sun great confidence, they shot at the enemy, the bullets swept by, the enemy fell in rows, and the remaining enemies quickly lay on the ground and returned fire at the positions of several people.
One of them, Platoon Commander Sun absorbed a lot of firepower for the three of them, and as soon as his machine gun rang out, the enemy's recoilless cannon came towards the hill where he was, and the roar tore through the sky, and the smoke of gunpowder swept and mixed with the dense fog in the sky, rolling endlessly.
The machine-gun fire stopped.
"Platoon commander!"
Squad Leader Hu shouted in shock, and when the aftermath of the explosion settled, the machine gun sound on the high point rang out again, and the three of them were a little relieved, and Squad Leader Hu shouted: "Xia Yuan, cover us, Lao Li, occupy the crater in front with me!" ”
"Good!" Xia Yuan shouted, picked up the big eight grains, and pulled the trigger on those enemies who came out, these big soldiers were shocked when they saw Xia Yuan who was half-squatting and aiming, and then lost consciousness.
After shooting several big-headed soldiers in a row, he shot the recoilless big-headed soldier who lay down and stood up and wanted to continue firing at Sun's platoon commander's position, his head tilted and fell to the ground, and the big-headed soldier next to him was all shocked and quickly hid.
With the help of Xia Yuan's cover, squad leader Hu picked up the submachine gun and fired at the enemy, Lao Li took the opportunity to get out of the bunker, quickly climbed forward, and stopped from time to time to avoid the bullets fired by the enemy, the charred ground had dyed the clothes on his body black, and the broken shrapnel cut through his clothes and cut the palms of his hands, but he didn't seem to notice it, and constantly avoided the action, and finally arrived at the bunker in front of him under the cover of the two, quickly replenished, covering Lao Hu kept moving over.
The two men occupy a crater on the left and the right, and shoot at the enemy who wants to rush up.
And Xia Yuan was in the rear, through continuous sniping, quickly eliminating the enemy's living force, the bullet whizzed through, piercing through the steel helmet of the big-headed soldier, leaving a round blood hole, when he lay down, the blood hole flowed out of the bloody blood marks to his forehead.
The big head soldier of the US army is not a fool, and in a short time, he found that the enemy had a sharpshooter with extremely accurate marksmanship, and immediately thought of the US army in charge of attacking the No. 1 position last night, saying that there is a sharpshooter on the No. 1 position, and even if you just show your head, you can be killed.
“fuck!
fuck! Enemy snipers! ”
The U.S. soldiers, who knew about this, shouted and ran in a panic, and the next second the bullet passed through the smoke of gunpowder, pierced his head, and fell heavily to the ground.
Xia Yuan put away the gun, hid in the bunker, took out the empty magazine and put it in his pocket, stuffed the magazine full of bullets into it, and held the gun on the bunker.
Because of your free movement and intersperse, although it is an effective blow to the enemy, but it is a kind of disorganized, undisciplined performance, the most taboo on the battlefield is personal heroism, you are good at fighting, but what about your soldiers?
Li Yannian once scolded one of his squad leaders: "What about your class! What about your warriors! ”
Because of your disorganization and lack of discipline, you have caused many people to die and die, you have killed many people, but you have also killed many people, because of your lack of organization and indiscipline, your subordinates have lost their lives without unified wisdom.
Xia Yuan deeply understands this, and personal heroism does not mean that it cannot be used, but it must also be used on appropriate occasions.
He always kept one thing in mind, obey orders, obey arrangements, your bullets are not for the effective destruction of the enemy, but for the cover of your comrades.
Under the cover of Xia Yuan, squad leader Hu and squad leader Li constantly inserted into the depth of the enemy, they covered each other, reinforced each other, both of them were old soldiers, the three-three system was almost deep in the bones, one person shot, one person jumped forward, in the rear, by Xia Yuan watching their flanks, they were able to go deep unscrupulously.
On the other side, Platoon Commander Sun used light machine guns to constantly suppress the enemy in the rear, and the enemy who had just occupied the left side for a short time could not withstand the fierce fire of a few people, so under the shouts of the lieutenant, he quickly retreated to the rear, and began to gather his team to prepare for the next counterattack.
"Retreated, they retreated!" Deputy squad leader Li looked up and immediately shouted.
"Lao Li, pick up weapons and ammunition! Xia Yuan, go see Platoon Commander Sun! Squad Leader Hu shouted with his gun behind his back.
"I'll touch some bullets first!"
Xia Yuan put away the gun, touched the bullets on his body, collected some bullet bags on the enemy's corpse and hung them on his body, and then came to the location where Platoon Commander Sun was.
"The enemy has been temporarily repulsed, but our casualties are also very large, the left position is empty, Xia Yuan, you have to take Squad Leader Hu and Deputy Squad Leader Li to form a battle group, even if there is only one person left, you must prevent the enemy from attacking." After Platoon Commander Sun finished speaking, he lowered his head, as if gritting his teeth, swallowing something in his stomach, and then turned his face sideways and looked at Xia Yuan, "You immediately go and occupy the forward position, resolutely resist the enemy, and can't let the enemy come up from the left flank to ensure the safety of our flank." ”
As soon as Platoon Commander Sun finished speaking, his neck weakened and his head hung down. But he still gave the order weakly: "Go, go and pick it up... Enemy... Enemy... Ammunition on the body... Go! ... Go! ”
When Platoon Commander Sun gave him an order, Xia Yuan was keenly aware that Platoon Commander Sun's voice trembled uncontrollably, and his body trembled. In the smoke of gunpowder, he looked at Platoon Commander Sun and was immediately stunned.
The lower half of Platoon Commander Sun's body was stained with blood, his right knee was exposed with bony ballast, his calf had been broken, only a layer of skin was connected, half of the muscles of his left leg had been cut off, and his bones were exposed, and there was blood clotted dirt on the ground.
He was injured and tried to hide it.
Xia Yuan's eyes were filled with tears all of a sudden, and he quickly took out the first-aid kit he was carrying to bandage Platoon Commander Sun, he sobbed and said, "Platoon Commander, you, go down quickly!" I'm here here, and I won't let the foreign devils hit me! ”
He is not a ruthless person, he is there in the unique joys, sorrows and sorrows of human beings, the soldiers of the Ninth Company are all familiar to him, they have been fighting together for so long, they also care for themselves, Xia Yuan has crossed over, and has regarded the people around him as the closest people, whether it is a company commander, platoon commander, squad leader, or a soldier, the feelings between comrades are very pure, born and died together, and they have suffered together until now, and whoever sacrifices will be very sad.
Sun Yuan's platoon commander stubbornly persevered, as if he was not injured at all, and he said calmly: "It's okay to scratch some skin." Leave me alone, get ready! Beads of sweat dripped down his twitching face.
"Platoon commander, I'll go!"
Xia Yuan turned around, with tears in his eyes, his heart was like a knife, he gritted his teeth, groping for weapons and ammunition on the enemy's corpse with grief, Mohu's eyes made him constantly look back at the position of Platoon Commander Sun, and within two minutes, he heard Squad Leader Hu's voice from a distance: "The enemy is coming up again!" ”
Xia Yuan raised his head and saw that the scattered enemies had gathered again this time, and the enemy already knew that the garrison on the No. 1 position had reached the end of the strong crossbow, and had just broken through the forward position of the volunteers, they only needed to organize again and launch an attack to completely tear apart the defense line formed by the volunteers and occupy the No. 1 position.
He quickly put the weapons and ammunition he had picked up beside Platoon Commander Sun.
Platoon Commander Sun pointed to the front with a trembling hand and said, "From the right, I'll cover you, be careful, you, you are the treasure of our platoon!" ”
Xia Yuan wiped the tears from his eyes, nodded heavily, and under the cover of the gunshots that rang out behind him, he ran down quickly.
Platoon Commander Sun dragged his unconscious legs, crouched behind a machine gun sent by Xia Yuan, and watched his every move of squad leader Hu closely.
