Chapter 50: A Difficult Battle (2)
The next moment, the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets whizzed over, blinding the mouth of the machine gun bunker twice in a row, and the American troops had already noticed it, and even ordered the artillery in the rear row to shell the machine gun fire points occupied by the enemy.
Successive shells fell on the machine-gun firing points, sand and stones flew and waves of air churned.
They have already hid in the bunker, and then the barrier of the tunnel, to protect their own safety, Xia Yuan even used the sapper shovel he carried, digging the bunker under him, digging an oblique bomb crater, a large amount of dirt continued to fall from the top of the head, accompanied by the roar of cannons, and the sound of bullets raining over the head, bullets hit the ground, puffing into the smashed dirt that had been blown up.
Accompanied by the artillery shelling, two counterattacking units of the foreign devils appeared, trying to regain the bunker occupied by the three people, this bunker was like a nail, stuck to the ground of their defensive position, if not pulled out, the volunteers would use this point to tear a hole.
In the first few battles, there would always be an enemy unit that suddenly plunged into the abdomen like a nail, and the nail did not pull out, and the slightest movement caused pain all over the body, and the captain of the US army immediately ordered the counterattacking troops to go up, intending to pull out the nail under the cover of artillery.
"Grandma's! The foreign devil is really like an iron king, it's really hard to bite! The first squad leader, the counterattack force of the foreign devils came up again, and beat them back to Lao Tzu, and they couldn't let them touch Xia Yuan's position. ”
Seeing this, Company Commander Feng quickly ordered a machine gun fire team composed of light machine guns to strike at the enemy's counterattacking forces.
Seeing that they had just torn a hole, how could they easily watch the US military plug the hole.
The battle has been carried out to this extent, even if you can't defeat the wave of counterattack troops of foreign devils, you have to beat them hard!
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
At this time, on the left side, the fighters of the third squad had already touched the ridge of the mountain, and a soldier shouted: "Squad leader, look, it's the company commander!" ”
From a distance, I saw the commander of the Feng company and a group of soldiers who were fighting fiercely with the US army, the two sides were fighting extremely fiercely, although there were many foreign devils, but the firepower of the first class was not weak, several light machine guns were enough to suppress the enemy's fierce attack, and the enemy's heavy firepower was not an ornament, the long bullet formed a chain of fire swept across the battlefield, like a long whip, hitting a group of soldiers on the mountain ridge, and the sound of bullets being bounced off the stones could be heard from a distance.
In the distance, in the remains of a bombed-out bunker
"The enemy's counterattack troops!" The leader of the third squad retracted his gaze, and the enemy on the position almost formed a situation of encirclement of the first squad, and the number of counterattacking troops became more than two platoons, and more than 80 soldiers surrounded the position of the first squad from all directions.
"Spread out in battle formation, between the battle groups, look for their own shooting targets, and listen to my guns and fire!"
"Yes!"
Several combat groups quickly dispersed in the positions on the mountain ridge, and the foreign devils didn't know that the third squad had already touched it, and they were concentrating on dealing with the first squad, because of Xia Yuan, plus a few light machine guns, the first squad fought extremely fiercely, and after half an hour of continuous fighting, the two sides actually fought back and forth.
But every second on the battlefield, the situation may change dramatically, no one can predict whether they will be killed by the opponent's bullets in the next second, what they can do is to shoot enough bullets in every second to suppress the enemy's firepower and infantry, under the continuous shooting, the enemy's platoon of counterattack troops fell to a large area, and other soldiers quickly fell to the ground.
On the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, the situation is changing rapidly, a platoon of soldiers sent by the enemy on the right side of the enemy, and a platoon of soldiers on the left side are also sent around, in a situation of entrapment, but I didn't expect a burst of gunfire to suddenly come from the left direction, the counterattack troops on the left side were repulsed, and the enemy on the right side did not wait for it to be completely touched, the bullets of the machine guns flew through, and a group of soldiers withstood the heavy fire of the enemy to help Xia Yuan and the three people who occupied the enemy's firepower to share the pressure.
After the bombardment, the three men came out of the soil, shook off the soil on the gun, and quickly threw themselves into the battle.
"Company commander, retreat, we don't have many bullets on us!"
The squad leader held the gun, crawled along the bunker to Company Commander Feng's side, and shouted.
"Hold on a little longer, our reinforcements on the left are coming up, you see!"
The leader of the first squad turned his head and saw that the soldiers of the third squad were staring at the enemy's fierce attack on the ridge on the other side, sharing the pressure for them.
"Counterattack warfare requires not only counterattacks, but a large number of enemies!"
Company Commander Feng stood his gun and said: "Our two squads, if we can destroy one company of the enemy, we will earn it, if we can destroy two companies of the enemy, then this counterattack operation will be a complete victory!" ”
"Immediately go and help Xia Yuan attract firepower, blow up one more enemy pillbox, and we will retreat!"
The squad leader looked at the corpses of the enemy lying on the position, and then looked at his own side, each soldier was more or less injured, his own squad of fighters has eliminated so many enemies, effectively eliminated the enemy's living forces, the task of this counterattack operation has been achieved, if you can kill the enemy one more bunker, then this mission has been overcompleted!
Thinking of this, the first squad leader was determined, set up a light machine gun not far from Company Commander Feng, and fired back at the enemy, he shouted: "Comrades, the soldiers of the third squad have come to reinforce us!" Hit me hard, and for every enemy we kill, we'll overdo our mission! ”
Inside the fire point, Yang Ming slapped off the dirt on his body, and suddenly said, "Listen! ”
Xia Yuan held the gun, slapped the dirt on his head, and after a pause, he heard a gunshot in the distance, and said, "It's our reinforcements!" ”
Yang Ming nodded: "That's right, our reinforcements have arrived!" It must be three shifts! ”
Chen Xuedong's eyes were bright.
Xia Yuan held the gun tightly, full of strength, when the battle was the most difficult, there was nothing more encouraging than the arrival of his own reinforcements, and the sound of gunfire was intertwined, and it was transmitted from Shangganling to far, far away at once.
The suppressed fighters not only did not feel afraid, but the fighting mood was high, they held machine guns, not caring at all that their hands were burned by the hot machine guns one after another, but there was determination in their eyes.
Under a round of enemy shelling, the three of them did not show their heads again, and the enemy thought that the three had been killed by their cannons, and focused all their attention on a group of soldiers on the mountain ridge. The volunteer soldiers on the ridge attracted a lot of firepower for Xia Yuan and the others, creating opportunities for them.
Xia Yuan keenly seized the opportunity, stood up reluctantly, and threw the grenade that had been pulled out in his hand hard, the grenade with the expectations of the soldiers, crossed the sky, and when it fell at the mouth of the enemy's machine gun bunker, bang, the broken shrapnel filled the entire machine gun bunker at once, and in an instant, the enemy's wail came out of the machine gun bunker.
One of the enemy's bunkers was blown up by Xia Yuan with a grenade.
A squad of fighters cheered loudly, the fighters were agitated, shot at the enemy, or threw the few grenades left, the battle lasted an hour and a half, generally the fighters of the third squad withdrew to the pit Every fighter with a smile on his face, the wounded saw the fighters withdraw, and quickly asked about the battle.
“...... At that time, seven or eight enemy pillboxes and more than a dozen heavy machine guns were strafed together, and the rows of bullets were covered by mountains and seas, and Comrade Xia Yuan was lying in the crater, pinching a grenade, not even looking at it, and just throwing it behind him, guess what? ”
"What's the matter, what's the matter."
"Say it quickly."
A soldier with a head injury described the battle scene vividly, Wang Lan bandaged the wound of the soldier, the pain caused by the head injury did not affect his heart of the story at all, and he described it vividly, and suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, listening to the hot wounded sitting on the ground holding guns, and hurriedly asked.
Only then did he say: "That grenade, fell on the enemy's bunker gun, and exploded with a bang, when I was dumbfounded, our squad leaders were also dumbfounded, when we were in the training ground, it was not that we had not practiced bomb throwing, or we looked at the throwing, and we couldn't throw it, let alone cast it with our back to the target, but what about the people?" That's how I lay in the crater......"
As he spoke, he was about to lie on his back.
Wang Lan was bandaging his wounds, and he was also listening to them with relish, and suddenly saw that he was going to lie down, so he hurriedly said: "Hey, you comrade, how about bandaging your wounds?" ”
The soldier smiled and said, "I'm sorry Comrade Wang Lan. He coughed lightly and continued: "People just lie in the crater, and they don't even look at it, just two grenades. ”
He stretched out his hand and gestured, "Just two grenades, one on the top of the bunker and one on the gun hole of the bunker, and the enemy's firing point was blinded." ”
"Hey, Comrade Xia Yuan's bomb throwing ability is really so powerful!?" A wounded member of the Seventh Company asked.
"Is that fake?" A wounded soldier of the Ninth Company said: "Xia Yuan just joined the company, and the first time he participated in the mission, he used a grenade to blind the enemy's firepower!" ”
The soldier of the first squad said: "Don't believe it, there is something even more mysterious, you don't know that when the enemy's first firepower point was broken, Comrade Xia Yuan single-handedly, under our cover, climbed to a position of more than 50 meters of the enemy's firepower point, and threw a grenade along the enemy's gun hole, and blew up the enemy's firepower point in one fell swoop!" ”
The wounded's eyes widened, with an unbelievable look, and they were all surprised by Xia Yuan's bomb-throwing ability.
In the rest room inside the tunnel, the instructor said happily: "But when you come back, how are the casualties?" ”
Company Commander Feng said: "Sacrificing two fighters, blowing up the enemy's four bunkers, killing at least one company of the enemy, with the least casualties, effectively killing the enemy, also thanks to the third squad, otherwise we will face the counterattack of the enemy's two platoons, and the casualties may be even greater!" ”
Company Commander Feng said again: "Instructor, this time we have to thank Comrade Xia Yuan, you don't know that on the battlefield, he alone used grenades to knock out the enemy's four machine gun bunkers, killed a lot of enemies with guns, his bomb throwing ability is very powerful, it is rare in the regiment to be able to throw grenades so far, and throw so accurately, the most important thing is to grasp the time of grenade explosion, that grenade, every time it explodes on the enemy's head, I think this kind of air explosion mine can be promoted." ”
He said: "This kind of positional combat, there are a lot of craters, if the soldiers are skilled in the air explosion mine, even if the enemy is lying in the crater, we throw an air explosion mine, then the shrapnel can definitely destroy a large number of enemies!" ”
The instructor smiled and said: "In this regard, you are doing it, I saw that the soldiers who came down from the position were very enthusiastic about fighting, and I can take advantage of this opportunity to let Xia Yuan go up and give a speech." ”
He said: "Just now, the regiment commander issued a new combat order, and I also have some ideas of my own. ”
"New combat orders?" Company Commander Feng asked, "Instructor, what is the new combat order?" ”
"On the 17th, our army will carry out a comprehensive counterattack operation against the enemy on Shangganling, and strive to recover the 597.9 heights and 537.7 heights in one fell swoop, and the rear orders our troops in the tunnels to take the squad fighters as a unit at night to carry out raid operations at night, and not let them sleep so comfortably at night!"
The instructor said: "In addition, the counterattack during the day is not good for our army, and during the day, they rely on the tunnels and the US army, and they are energetic during the day, so they let them toss during the day, and at night, it is time for us to toss them." ”
Company Commander Feng thought carefully and agreed with the instructor's opinion, he said: "Instructor, what you said is right, we should make full use of the tunnel. And this morning's counterattack operation did teach me a lesson, the enemy's combat ability during the day is very strong, especially their ability to build a bunker, a few sandbags plus a few planks, you can complete the construction of a machine gun bunker, we fight them hard, it will not work, we need to be flexible, starting from the analysis of the enemy's situation in how to sing, we should give full play to the advantages of the tunnel. ”
"In addition, what you just said is to take this opportunity to let Xia Yuan give a speech, I think this is a good thing, Xia Yuan is now a combat hero in our No. 1 tunnel, start with him to do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, and avoid the soldiers from having a negative response to the battle."
The instructor nodded, "Then call Comrade Xia Yuan over and discuss it carefully." ”
"Good!"
When Company Commander Feng found Xia Yuan, he was observing the progress of the well at the location of the well in the tunnel, and the soldiers who dug the well were chatting with Xia Yuan, and when they saw Company Commander Feng coming, he hurriedly said, "Company Commander Feng!" ”
"You say, you say." Company Commander Feng squatted in front of the well, looked at the well and asked, "How is the progress of the well?" ”
Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, looked at the soldier digging the well, and said: "Company commander, the progress is very fast, the humidity below is already very large, this position has been carefully studied by me, and there is a great possibility of digging out the water source." ”
After such a long time, the depth of the well has reached two meters deep, and the hope of digging water is getting bigger and bigger.
