Xia Yuan raised his head slightly, looked at the sky shrouded in smoke and dust, accompanied by a roar, and saw the enemy's bomber group from a distance from the distant sky, and the soldiers who were rushing to repair the fortifications also raised their heads one after another, looking at the sky in the distance, above the hazy clouds, one plane after another appeared in the sky above Shangganling.

A large number of artillery shells and napalm poured down, like rain, accompanied by a piercing scream, bursting out in clusters of brilliant flames on the position of Shangganling, and from a distance, the flames soared into the sky, enveloping the entire mountain, and there were raging flames everywhere, and billowing black smoke rose thousands of feet high.

In the US military camp, those soldiers who were eating lunch raised their heads and looked at the bombed Shangganling in the distance, black smoke billowing and spreading, and such a spectacular scene could be seen from afar.

One soldier ate his lunch and said, "I hope we can blow them up so that our afternoon attack will go much smoother." ”

Another soldier drank coffee and said: "Who said it wasn't, there was an enemy with very good marksmanship on the position we attacked today, and our ace sniper team was killed by him alone, and they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, fuck!" ”

The big-headed soldier scolded, sipping coffee.

The American soldier on the other side advised: "Calm down, man, maybe he has been killed by our planes and artillery by now." ”

The soldier sighed: "Hopefully, because the target of our company's attack this afternoon is still the devil's position, I hope I can still have coffee with you." ”

Shangganling was shrouded in a sea of fire, the soldiers hid in the trenches, and the napalm explosion was accompanied by the torrent formed by the rolling heat wave, which exploded on the position like a hurricane, sand and stones splashed, and the stumps and broken arms on the ground were instantly ignited.

The heat was rolling in the face, and the pungent smell of gasoline rushed to the mouth and nose.

The soldiers lay in the trenches, covering their mouths and noses with their sleeves, watching the flames outside spread to the bunkers, and some of the guns were damaged, baked by the flames, and quickly damaged, but fortunately, there were still a lot of guns and ammunition in the trenches.

The enemy's wave of bombardment was over, squad leader Hu hid in the trench and drilled his head, a fire scorched his hair, he hurriedly slapped with his hand, looked up at the bunker covered by the flames, quickly grabbed the sapper shovel and shoveled the sand to cover the burning flames, waiting for the flames to be extinguished, he touched a light machine gun with some distress.

"Grandma's, the guns are burned out, these foreign devils, just blow up the corpses of their own people, and don't even let go of the things they produce."

Squad Leader Hu cursed, held the hot sand in his hand, picked up the bullet inside, blew it with his mouth, wiped it on his body, and put it in the ammunition box half-hidden by the sand in the trench.

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground and got out the grenades and ammunition boxes buried in the sand.

The time is not early, and a new offensive of the enemy will soon arrive.

At about one o'clock, the enemy's offensive really began, the enemy all over the mountains and fields was like locusts again, a new round of fighting began, this time the battle was even more tragic, after a morning of wartime attrition, the soldiers of the volunteer army in the forward position were already physically and mentally exhausted, especially with the enemy's rounds of artillery fire, most of the soldiers died under the cover of dense artillery fire.

Including the No. 1 forward position, more than ten shells fell on the bunker where Xia Yuan and squad leader Hu were hiding, and after the bombardment, the bunker was basically filled, and the enemy's offensive was more fierce than one round, and the soldiers of the third squad fought with the enemy in the case of more than half of the casualties, and the guns used by Xia Yuan were damaged several times, and the ammunition needed to be constantly replaced.

The enemy attacked again and again, attacked the forward positions again and again, and was beaten down again and again by the counterattacks of the soldiers.

Squad Leader Hu was seriously injured in the fight with the enemy, Xia Yuan repeatedly asked him to withdraw from the battle, Squad Leader Hu flatly refused, and Platoon Commander Sun completely blocked the enemy's attack when his legs were blown off, sent a bullet into the enemy's body, and finally died with the enemy.

As a party member and a volunteer soldier, he has long been aware of this.

It's just that he didn't expect that this day would come so early, the enemy attacked the forward position again, he dragged such a wounded body to fight with the enemy, and finally the bullets ran out, the grenade was gone, and he smashed it with a stone, Hu squad leader was already exhausted lying on the bunker, still holding the stone in his hand, when he heard the sound of the enemy coming up, he still supported his body and fought with the enemy.

But the injuries on his body were too serious, and once again repelled the enemy's attack, squad leader Hu knew that his time was short, he took Xia Yuan's hand, looked at Xia Yuan with teary eyes, and said: "Don't cry, you have now become a squad leader, a glorious volunteer soldier, how can you cry." ”

He looked at the battlefield with a slow face of gunpowder, and said with great regret and weakness: "It's a pity that I can't see the day when the battle is won, after I left, I was buried in Shangganling, I want to look at Shangganling, look at the day when victory comes." ”

Squad Leader Hu seemed to have completed his mission, and there was only one third-class soldier left beside him, with tears in his eyes.

The wind blew the gunpowder smoke over Shangganling, slowly stirring, but it was like a dead pool, and the ripples were gone.

The smoke of gunpowder drifted slowly, and Xia Yuan buried squad leader Hu and Platoon Leader Sun together, and on that small hill, you could see Shangganling.

Such a tug-of-war lasted for a whole day on the No. 1 position in Shangganling, after an afternoon of bloody battles, there was only one soldier left on the right side, and the third squad leader also died on the way to charge, Hu squad leader's condition was still good, most of the soldiers' bodies could not be found, and some only found their shoes.

"There are only three of us left, even if there are only three of us, we have to withstand the enemy's attack, here I am the squad leader, you just listen to my command, how about it?"

Facing the two soldiers who were younger than himself and had not had the slightest fear until now, Xia Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the battlefield in the distance: "Collect all the weapons and ammunition that can be collected, the more the better, the more it means that it will be more beneficial to the next battle!" ”

"This time, we will revise the battle plan and defend to the death, the three of us will definitely not be able to hold off the enemy's ferocious attack, and we will be repulsed a few times at most, but under the enemy's bombardment, we will soon be sacrificed, and this time we will change our combat strategy."

Xia Yuan looked at the bottom of the mountain and said: "After all, there are a large number of corpses left on the enemy's road, and that position is also a position where the enemy's artillery rarely bombards, we hide in the enemy's corpse pile before the enemy attacks, and wait until the enemy's shelling is over, and then touch the position to block it, so that we will have less time to be bombarded by the enemy, and we can greatly improve our own survival rate." ”

The two warriors nodded.

He added: "And there are also weapons and equipment left behind by the enemy, we can touch them and replenish ourselves." ”

They are basically running out of ammunition now, and the bullets on Xia Yuan's body are only three shuttles and eight bullets plus five bullets left in the magazine, and the number of bullets on the other two fighters adds up to no more than twenty, and the grenades are used up, and the grenades touched from the enemy are used up.

And the corpse that was too late to touch it was annihilated by flying ashes under the enemy's artillery fire, and the battle to this extent can already be said to be quite tragic.

Considering the possibility of observers on the enemy's front line, Xia Yuan asked the soldiers to use the craters and the enemy's corpses, as well as some mountain protrusions as cover, to carefully pass through the forward positions and grope ahead.

Soon, they found a pile of enemy corpses.

"Squad Leader Xia, the bullet bags on their bodies have been touched by the enemy." After rummaging through the bodies of three enemies, the little soldier named Sun Jiazheng did not find many bullets, especially since the bullets on their corpses were also removed.

Faced with this situation, Xia Yuan said: "There are still bullets in his gun, and those who can be withdrawn will be withdrawn, and they will be collected as much as possible, it is impossible that all the ammunition on their bodies has been touched, and only a small part has been touched." ”

Sure enough, they soon found a lot of bullet bags and grenades on the enemy's corpses, which gave Sun Jiazheng and Wang Shu a lot of confidence to the two soldiers of the Seventh Company.

Xia Yuan set up a gun in the rear, covering the two, after an afternoon of fighting, they also know something about this 'Xia squad leader', he is the legendary recruit of the Ninth Company, just on the first nameless highland battle in Shangganling, became famous in the first battle, one person sniped more than 70 enemies, covered his comrades to bomb two enemy bunkers, successfully annihilated the Korean army on the nameless heights, and captured a large number of weapons and equipment.

The second time is even more legendary, with only one reconnaissance squad of soldiers, all the US troops on the Cangshan Mountain in Xiaganling were annihilated, and only two soldiers of the reconnaissance squad were slightly injured, and a large number of weapons and equipment were seized, as well as living materials, and he was directly commended by the whole army, he is a combat hero who has long been famous, and the companies call him 'legendary recruit'!

Many recruits who had just gone abroad to join the war in Korea took him as an example.

He's a big living hero!

And the afternoon battle, so that the soldiers of the third class have a deeper understanding of this 'legendary recruit', where he set up a gun, never empty a shot, where he sticks to the direction, crawling with the corpses of the enemy, he can always with a strong attitude, over and over again to refresh their perception of the legendary recruit's combat level.

During this time, the soldiers of the third squad basically regarded him as the soul task of the No. 1 position in Shangganling, with his position, they could always easily play a counteroffensive effect that everyone expected, with him, the morale of all the soldiers was unprecedentedly high, and they could fight with the enemy with confidence.

They stepped on the corpse of the enemy and came behind the bunker where Xia Yuan was.

Wang Shu took off the string of bullet bags hanging on his body and handed it to Xia Yuan: "Squad Leader Xia, I'll give you some bullets." ”

Xia Yuan put away the gun, and the three of them divided all the bullets equally behind the bunker, and the number of bullets in the original three magazines and twenty rounds of bullets has now increased to seventy, and the number of grenades is very small, and when it is divided equally, there are only four grenades for each person.

Xia Yuan put the bullets on the ground, took out the empty magazines from his pocket, pinched the bullets with his gauze hand and pressed them into the magazine, pressed the eight bullets, and put them in the bullet pouch on his body.

The three of them didn't speak, they were all packing their things.

Suddenly, the screech of enemy shells was heard in the sky, which blossomed all over the positions in the rear.

A new round of enemy shelling began.

At this time, it was already sunset and dusk.

Xia Yuan looked up at the dusk in the distance, thought of the enemy's most ferocious attack at yesterday dusk, and said, "The next day is about to end, and the last wave of the enemy's attack is about to begin." ”

He put the stuffed magazine on his body, shook the dirt from the gun, and said, "Prepare to prepare, the last bloody battle is about to begin." ”

Xia Yuan greeted the sunset in the distant mountains, his cheeks were already scabbed, his skin became dark and dark, and his eyes reflected the smoke of gunpowder, distant mountains and the sunset, even if he was from the future, even if he was in control of the system, but in the face of such a war, human beings were so small.

This is a situation that cannot be changed.

On the second day of the battle of Shangganling, many familiar people disappeared one by one around him, which is a pain that cannot be felt in modern society, his heart is like being torn over and over again, the bitterness of practicing martial arts has never made him cry, but on Shangganling, he cried countless times.

Maybe one day I will sacrifice myself, but victory must belong to us, and tomorrow's sun must belong to the volunteers!

Grabbing the gun in his hand, Xia Yuan quickly arranged the final battle order, "The last wave of the enemy's offensive, hold on, the battle is over, the enemy at night will not attack again, can't hold on, we..."

Sun Jiazheng's dark cheeks and bright eyes: "Squad Leader Xia, what do you say, we will listen to you!" ”

Wang Shu held the gun, although he didn't speak, but his attitude had been shown in his actions, he pulled the bolt of the gun, his eyes were firm, and he was ready.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Xia Yuan's gaze swept over the entire battlefield, and he secretly vowed that no matter what, he would hold his position.

In the No. 1 tunnel, Company Commander Feng was anxiously pacing back and forth, and when he saw Wang Yongmeng running back from outside the tunnel, he hurriedly walked up and asked, "How is the situation now?" ”

Wang Yongmeng gasped, with a panic on his face, "Company Commander Feng, it's big, it's not good." ”

Company Commander Feng took the kettle, "Come, drink some water, speak slowly." ”

Wang Yongmeng took a sip and said, "Company Commander Feng! Position No. 7 was lost, Position No. 11 was lost, Position No. 2 was lost, Position No. 8 was also lost, and a large number of enemy troops were moving towards Position No. 1, and I only looked at it from a distance, there were a lot of them, at least one battalion of troops! ”

"What!"

Company Commander Feng was taken aback.

The warriors in the pit all stood up.

"Company commander, let's get on! It's been a day of fighting, and we're still sitting in the tunnel, doing nothing! ”

"Yes, yes, company commander, you just let us go up, let's go fight the enemy!" Take back the lost positions! ”

The soldiers stood up one after another, even the soldiers with bandages on their heads, the soldiers who were slightly injured, shouted one by one, the enthusiasm for the battle was unprecedentedly high, the higher the mood of the soldiers, the more tormented Company Commander Feng's heart became, he gritted his teeth, and immediately said: "The second platoon, the first squad and the second squad resisted the incoming troops in the direction of the No. 8 position, and the ninth company at the front of the reinforcement position in the third squad!" ”

"Yes!"

Just as the fighters were about to set off, the phone in the tunnel suddenly rang.
