Chapter 53: The will of the warriors is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea
The time for a general offensive was getting closer and closer, and the fighters were loaded with weapons and ammunition and quietly waited for the artillery bombardment from the rear.
When the time came to eleven o'clock.
The powerful artillery group of the Volunteer Army, which was hidden in the ravines and low-lying areas, suddenly roared like rolling thunder, and shells shot like raindrops to Shangganling, Katyusha roared, heavy artillery roared, and countless rockets flew in the sky, reflecting the sky red.
Some of the U.S. troops on Shangganling were building fortifications, and some were sleeping soundly in bunkers, and when shells sounded overhead, the angry roar of filial piety, this group of foreign devils was confused.
In an instant, rockets and shells fell like raindrops, and the entire 597.9 Heights was like an erupting volcano, constantly shaking, as if it would collapse at any time, and the tunnels were roaring like drums.
"That's our cannon!"
Some fighters shouted excitedly.
Yes, that's their own artillery, and our Motherland is getting stronger little by little.
In the rear, the commander of the sixth company commanded the soldiers of the second platoon, closely following the continuous artillery fire, and quickly attacked the enemy's position.
After the artillery fire left the surface of the position, extended to the rear, the pit until the troops quickly went out. Xia Yuan was tasked with a sneak attack, so he immediately led the second squad of soldiers to quickly move forward
"Company commander, be careful!"
When Xia Yuan left the tunnel, Wang Yongmeng shouted loudly behind him.
"Be careful, too!"
When you walk out of the tunnel and into the outside world, you will be greeted by cannonballs falling and whistling hurricanes blowing up a large amount of sand and gravel from the ridge of the mountain, spreading continuously.
Xia Yuan led the second squad of soldiers to quickly move to the No. 8 position, and they quickly arrived at an anti-slope pit, where you can see that the enemy on the mountain ridge is hiding in the trench, and the artillery bombardment in the rear is extremely fierce, and the rocks continue to roll down from the mountain.
"Deputy squad leader, you can wait a while with a combat group, bring two machine guns, occupy the ridge, cut off the connection between the enemy's position No. 2 and position No. 8, and don't let the enemy's troops on position No. 2 reinforce position No. 8."
Xia Yuan lay in the bunker, and when arranging the operation, he looked at the flickering artillery fire in the sky, "According to this level of bombardment, it is estimated that it will not be long before most of the fortifications on the enemy's surface positions will be destroyed by artillery, and some of the fortifications on the mountain crest still exist, we need to pull them all out." ”
The U.S. military built a large number of fortifications on the ridges and positions, including bomb craters, cantonment pits, and criss-crossing trenches and firing points.
After the artillery fire extended to the rear, Xia Yuan and his soldiers quickly rushed towards the ridge, and encountered the enemy in the ridge
The fortifications were constructed, it was a point of fire, and after the sound of enemy gunfire, a barrage of bullets came at it, a volley of bullets clanged on the surface of the ridge, and the sound of machine guns rang out in the valley.
The soldiers of the second squad quickly lay down and returned fire with their guns at the enemy on the hill, and the bullets constantly swept over the position, except for the sound of shells exploding, the sound of guns and cannons intertwining.
"Company commander, I'll have someone blow up the enemy's bunker!"
The deputy head of the second shift shouted, grabbing the blaster next to him and about to rush forward.
A bullet suddenly came out of the chamber and swooped into the mouth of the enemy's machine gun bunker that constantly spewed flames, and the enemy's bunker was extinguished at once, and the deputy squad leader of the second squad stared wide-eyed, "Beautiful, blow him up!" ”
He rose from the ground and led a combat group of fighters up the ridge to the ridge, weaving through the rain of enemy bullets, and after hiding in bunker, he climbed on the ground with his hands and feet.
The enemy's light machine guns strafed a bunch of bullets, and the fighters of the demolition team could not raise their heads, and the suppression of the fighters was difficult to play a key role, and the number of people on both sides was completely disproportionate, even if there was artillery bombardment by our army, but our army's artillery preparation also fired another round, although it was covered, but still left a large number of enemy relatively strong fortifications.
At this time, the artillery fire had already spread to the rear, and our counterattack troops had already been dispatched, so it was unrealistic to support the howling artillery fire.
In addition to the enemy's fortifications on the surface position of Shangganling, the artillery group's important targets also include the enemy's fortifications in the rear, as well as the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles.
The lucky remnants of the machine-gun bunkers were left to the counter-attacking forces in the tunnels.
Xia Yuan controlled the big eight, pulled the trigger continuously, under the night vision and eagle eye, changed several magazines in a row, except for a few shots that were missed, the others hit the enemy, bringing huge casualties to the enemy, the counterattack operation of the No. 8 position has begun, in addition to the second squad led by Xia Yuan, there are only two people left in the No. 8 pit counterattack force, two lightly wounded, when they saw Xia Yuan, their faces showed joy, thinking that it was their own reinforcements, and after running over to ask, they found that it was the counterattack force of the No. 1 pit tunnel.
Xia Yuan pulled the trigger continuously, the bullets whizzed through the battlefield, leaving a string of bullet marks in the air, the bullets continued to fly by, the enemy's light machine gun was Xia Yuan's care, as soon as the enemy's machine gun sounded, a bullet chased the muzzle and shot out, poof, the enemy fell to the ground, and the machine gun stopped.
Xia Yuan's powerful shooting ability bought a lot of time for the soldiers in charge of blasting, they jumped out of the bunker, pulled the blasting canister under the cover of their comrades, hoeed hard under the enemy's machine gun bunker, and quickly dodged behind them, accompanied by a bombardment, the enemy's machine gun bunker suddenly collapsed and cracked, a burst of gunsmoke, and the remaining bunker was gone.
"Up!"
Xia Yuan stood up directly, pulled the trigger continuously, shot three foreign devils with their heads exposed, turned his head and shouted: "You are the counterattack force of the No. 8 tunnel? ”
"Company commander! I am Yang Shuhuai, a soldier of the second squad of the third platoon of the Ninth Company, reporting to you! "One with a black face and a bandage around his head, with a solemn expression.
"You know I'm a company commander?" Xia Yuan asked shouting.
"I know, Comrade Wang Yongmeng told me!" Yang Shuhuai nodded.
Xia Yuan looked at the warrior beside Yang Shuhuai, this warrior was a little dumbfounded, the bandages almost wrapped around his head, and only a pair of eyes and a mouth were exposed.
"Company commander, he is a soldier of the Seventh Company, his name is Li Jiawang."
Yang Shuhuai shouted again: "Under the enemy's shelling, the ears were blown out. ”
Xia Yuanming couldn't hear the sound, no wonder he looked a little dumbfounded, he didn't know what the two of them would say, but he also knew that his ears were blown up, so he didn't speak, his whole body was dirty, and he was holding a gun in his arms.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Xia Yuan shouted and asked again, "There are only two of you left in the No. 8 tunnel?" ”
Yang Shuhuai said: "Company commander, there are five wounded, two seriously wounded, and the others have all died." ”
Xia Yuan was slightly silent, the situation in one tunnel is already like this, so what about the situation in other tunnels?
The will of the warriors is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. Even if he fought to the last man, the order to counterattack was given, and he resolutely rushed towards the enemy with his gun.
At this time, the voice of the deputy squad leader of the second squad came from the mountain, "Company Commander Xia!" ”
"Let's go! Follow me! ”
Xia Yuan held his gun and rushed towards the mountain.
Yang Shuhuai touched Li Jiawang beside him and made a forward gesture to him, Li Jiawang nodded, and followed Yang Shuhuai's footsteps with a gun.
The enemy on the ridge of the eighth position did not stop Xia Yuan's interspersed troops for long, with Xia Yuan's sharp weapon to attack the fortifications, the fortifications built by the enemy on the ridge were useless, and as soon as the enemy's head popped up, the bullet swished through the soldier's head, and the speed was so fast that people could not react.
"Pick up guns, pick up bullets, pick up grenades, move fast!"
Xia Yuan shouted, lying on the anticline of the mountain ridge, looking at Shangganling, which was shrouded in a layer of thick black smoke, after experiencing the bombardment of our army's artillery group, Shangganling was like a volcano about to erupt, black smoke billowed out, the mountain shook, and the constantly blooming mountains could be seen from afar.
Overhead, there was the sound of rockets and shells flying, sharp and piercing, and the sound of bullets passing through everywhere, and if there was no night vision, no eagle's vision, on such a battlefield, it was impossible to know which direction the bullets were coming from, let alone how many enemy bunkers remained in the smoke, let alone how many enemies were still on the surface of the position.
Fortunately, Xia Yuan turned on the plug-in, and under the night vision, Shangganling is basically no different from the daytime, and the eagle eye can't penetrate the layers of dense fog, but it can see farther than ordinary people.
It was difficult to see stones on the surface positions, everywhere were shattered sand and shrapnel from the shells, a handful of sand, a pile of shrapnel, and there were no corpses, which had long been annihilated by the dense artillery fire.
This is Shangganling.
For the soldiers who did not open the plug-in, Shangganling shrouded in darkness, Shangganling shrouded in black gunsmoke, and Shangganling shrouded in the rain of bullets and bullets, there is no doubt that it is a giant beast that swallows people in one bite, and it can't get down if it goes up.
But at this time, with the continuous extension of the bombardment of our artillery group, the only remaining small units in the various tunnels drilled out, they looked at the smoke of gunpowder, like a mouthful of swallowing giant beasts Shangganling, without the slightest hesitation, facing the enemy's bullets and bullets, constantly crawling on the ground, close to the target, and stuffing the grenades and blasting canisters in their hands into the enemy's machine gun bunker.
The battle has begun, and the great counteroffensive has begun.
Just when the battle was raging, Company Commander Feng received a new order from his superiors and immediately went to Tunnel No. 4 to reinforce the counterattack troops on the surface of Tunnel No. 4 and regain the important position 'Position 0'.
The instructor said, "I'll go with you!" ”
"Good!"
Company Commander Feng looked at the soldiers in the tunnel and shouted, "Let's go!" ”
After receiving the order, Company Commander Feng immediately led the soldiers of the first and third squads to the No. 4 tunnel, and a series of dense bullets swept from the No. 0 position in front, clanging on the stones on the anticline, shattering the stones, and the sound of bullets bouncing echoed in the valley.
In the process of moving to the No. 4 position, the enemy's bunker on the zero position sprayed a series of bullets, and immediately several fighters were hit by the enemy's bullets and fell on the road of reinforcements.
In such a situation, it is only possible to abandon the fighters who were hit by bullets, and it is not even possible to see whether they are dead or alive.
This is war.
Every soldier knows this very well in their hearts, although it hurts to watch their comrades fall, but there is nothing they can do.
Command above all else, and staying means sacrifice.
The enemy is on the hill.
The only thing they could do was to reinforce Position 4 and cooperate with the fighters on Position 4 to take the enemy's Position Zero.
Comrade Wang Yongmeng held a gun, his heart was as firm as a rock, this was his first time on the battlefield, looking at the fallen and sacrificed soldiers, it could not affect his determination to kill the enemy in the slightest, it would only become a force that inspired him, constantly urging him to continue to move forward.
Position Zero, with cliffs on both sides of the cliffs, can only walk with a ridge less than ten meters wide that connects to Position 4. Since the No. 0 position is close to the No. 3 position of the main peak, it can not only condescendingly block the No. 4, 5, and 6 positions, but also block the entrance to the big pit of the No. 1 position of the Volunteer Army to the left, and the enemy is tightly fortified in this place.
After the start of the major counteroffensive at 11 o'clock, the 6th and 5th companies launched four consecutive attacks on the enemy, but they failed to destroy the enemy's main fire firing point.
The soldiers of the two companies also suffered heavy casualties, the commander of the sixth company, the instructor of the sixth company, and the instructor of the fifth company died, and the commander of the fifth company was seriously injured and temporarily put on hold in the No. 4 tunnel, and the only soldier who could continue the battle was left with a squad that was not satisfied.
The fighters who came from the reinforcement of the No. 1 tunnel temporarily replenished the follow-up counterattack force.
The commander of the fifth company said to Commander Feng: "The enemy has built a large number of fortifications on the zero position, especially relying on the machine gun bunkers dug out of the mountains, blocking the mountain crest that is already not large, and even sending five demolition teams to break through the enemy's fire blockade, the fifth and sixth companies only have one squad left, and the zero position must be taken, and the enemy cannot continue to occupy the zero position." ”
Position Zero was too threatening to other positions, and the superiors specifically pointed out the importance of position Zero, and the artillery group also concentrated fire on Position Zero, but the enemy, relying on the fortifications built up by the mountain, withstood a round of artillery shelling by our troops.
Company Commander Feng rushed to the words of the fifth company commander, and led the soldiers of less than two squads to the No. 4 position, looking up at the No. 0 position.
The mountain was steep, and the fire bunkers that the enemy had built on Position Zero radiated the entire position, and even the large tunnel on Position No. 1, and in such a situation, this Position Zero was bound to be pulled out.
"If only Xia Yuan was here! He should be able to throw the grenade over! ”
Company Commander Feng observed the distance between the No. 4 position and the No. 0 position, the more it was more than 150 meters away, giving Xia Yuan enough firepower cover, letting him get close to the No. 0 position, he would definitely be able to blow up the enemy's bunker, and Company Commander Feng believed in Xia Yuan's bomb throwing skills very much.
"It's estimated that he is enough to choke when he comes, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack."
The instructor observed for a while and said with a solemn face.
"How many fighters are left to take part in the attack?"
"And seventeen fighters, one machine gunner, two walkie-talkies, two communicators, plus you and me, twenty-four in all." The instructor replied: "We are forming eight battle groups and are attacking the enemy!" ”
"Good!"
Company Commander Feng gritted his teeth, "Then send multiple demolition teams up, and other fighters will cover the fire!" ”
Seeing that the fighters of the demolition team were holding anti-tank grenades, blasting canisters, and explosive packets, they rushed forward when the smoke was thick and the sky was dark.
However, in order to complete the task of the demolition team, the enemy's machine-gun bunker continued to spray out chains of fire, and watching the soldiers fall one by one, Company Commander Feng and the instructor were like knives.
