Chapter 56: Bombardier - Commander of the Ninth Company

The plan changed, they were now going to retake the No. 2 position, and Company Commander Feng received an order to reinforce the No. 4 position, and the No. 1 position was handed over to the eighth company and three platoons.

In this case, Xia Yuan looked at the No. 2 position closest to the No. 8 position, in addition to the lost No. 2 position, there was also the lost No. 11 position.

The battle of the No. 2 position is still fierce, the enemy on the position has destroyed a large number of fortifications after a round of artillery bombardment by our army, but there are many remaining bunkers, they do not have Xia Yuan's strong attack ability, and the enemy's bunkers are to send one blasting team after another to blast.

When one group dies, the second takes over.

Under the cover of the soldiers, attacking the enemy's firepower points, you can see from a distance that the enemy's firepower points form a chain of fire, so that the fighters in charge of blasting can't raise their heads, and the soldiers of the second platoon take over the command when the platoon commander is killed and suffer heavy casualties, and once again take the fighters to climb towards the enemy's firepower point.

The bullets formed a bright chain of fire and tore through the smoke-filled Shangganling, forming a particularly spectacular scene.

This kind of scenery is particularly deadly, it is composed of bullets, which can easily tear an elephant, not to mention the emaciated and long-term malnourished volunteer soldiers, but fortunately in the later part of this period, not only gradually supplied, although the soldiers are malnourished, but there is no night blindness.

The second platoon attacked very hard, their machine gun firing platform was destroyed by the enemy, the second platoon and the third squad soldier Chen Zhiguo jumped out of the fortifications and picked up the machine gun to shoot, the machine gun lost its stable firing table, the shooting was not accurate, and it could not suppress the enemy's heavy machine gun fire in the hillside depression, seeing that the soldiers at the front were beaten and could not raise their heads, and seeing the casualties of the second platoon getting bigger and bigger, at this critical moment, Chen Zhiguo used his body as the firing table of the machine gun, carried the machine gun on his shoulders, and shouted:

"Squad leader, come and shoot!"

The leader of the third squad turned his head, dropped the gun in his hand and controlled the machine gun to strafe the enemy's heavy fire, after a fierce strafing fire, the enemy's heavy fire was pressed so that he could not raise his head, the soldiers of the suppressed demolition team raised their heads, picked up the blasting canister, and stuffed it into the enemy's bunker, accompanied by a roar, the machine gun fire point that had plagued them for nearly an hour was finally destroyed.

And Chen Zhiguo's shoulders had been burned by machine guns, and he was also shot several times and died honorably.

Sun Ziming, a soldier of the second platoon, was wounded three times and passed out, and when he woke up, the enemy had rushed to his position, Sun Ziming saw that the enemy had a machine gun next to him, and was firing fiercely at the attacking second platoon soldiers, he immediately pounced and snatched the machine gun from the enemy's hands, when he was about to turn the muzzle, more than 20 enemies surrounded him, Sun Ziming held three grenades and rushed into the enemy group, pulled the grenade and the enemy died together.

Yang Lindong, the platoon commander of the second platoon, personally led two demolition teams to launch a suicidal attack on the machine gun bunker built by the enemy in the No. 2 position, and after blowing up two machine gun bunkers in succession, when the soldiers beside him had died and he was shot, he grabbed the last blasting canister and rushed up against the enemy's counterattack troops.

......

"Company Commander Xia, I will lead people to attack from the front, and you will take people to intersperse from the side, we will cooperate and take the enemy by surprise, how about it?"

Dai Wannian led the soldiers to a position not far from the No. 2 position, looked at the remaining U.S. troops on the No. 2 position, frowned, and asked Xia Yuan what he meant.

Xia Yuan looked at the enemy who was still on the second position, and Dai Wannian handed him a telescope, "Use this, this can see clearly." ”

The soldier of the seventh company on the side said: "Company Commander Dai, you still don't know how sharp Company Commander Xia's eyes are, let alone such a long distance, even at a long distance, Company Commander Xia can see clearly." ”

Dai Wannian was stunned, "Oh? Is it? ”

"What's more, when we were in the tunnel, the soldiers of the Ninth Company told us that at night, one mile apart, Company Commander Xia could clearly see the enemy's deployment on the high ground, and we followed Company Commander Xia to fight, and we didn't need to observe the enemy's deployment.

Dai Wannian looked at Xia Yuan in surprise, just because they were talking, Xia Yuan had already observed the deployment of foreign devils on the No. 2 position.

"Company Commander Dai, on the first night before, we conducted a counterattack operation on the No. 2 position, and we are familiar with the terrain."

Xia Yuan pointed in a dark direction, "Company Commander Dai, you will lead people to attack from that position, although the terrain is steep, but the enemy's only bunker on the mountain has also been blown up, and the soldiers of the second platoon have attracted most of the enemy's firepower, from that position, you can go up directly and enter the second position!" ”

Dai Wannian picked up the telescope and observed the direction pointed by Xia Yuan, that position, it was dark, and the outline of the mountain slowly emerged in the smoke of gunpowder, and he could vaguely see the enemy's remaining fortifications on the mountain crest, there was indeed a bunker, but it didn't look like the wreckage of the bunker.

He said, "Are you sure that location is viable?" ”

That position was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy had erected a bunker on their heads, and they rushed over, once the situation of that bunker was different from what Xia Yuan said, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xia Yuan nodded, his eyes fixed on the No. 2 position: "Company Commander Dai, we will be the assault team, and after we go up, you will follow up." ”

Dai Wannian flatly refused: "How can it be done, a platoon leader, let the third squad be a commando!" ”

He said, "Company Commander Xia, you are waiting here!" ”

The soldiers of the third squad quickly formed three battle groups, and moved into the darkness on the left and right flanks, and bursts of bright light sources continued to come from the No. 2 position, and the enemy's flares rose into the air one after another, and they were extinguished in the smoke of gunpowder on the Shangganling position in tens of seconds.

As Xia Yuan said, that position was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the enemy's firepower point on the hill had been blown up, and their progress was unusually smooth, and they did not encounter too much enemy resistance, and quickly occupied the bunker mutilation in the direction that Xia Yuan pointed to, and relying on the bunker mutilation, a firepower point was established on the flank of the No. 2 position.

Dai Wannian showed a happy look on his face, and immediately ordered the soldiers to quickly launch an attack on the foreign devils on the No. 2 position, and a row of soldiers was like a sharp knife, straight into the enemy's flank.

When the enemy reacted, he hurriedly built a firepower point to strike at a row of fighters attacking from the flank, Xia Yuan led four soldiers to fight into the enemy's position, through night vision, he saw the enemy's firepower from a distance, picked up a grenade and threw it hard, the grenade crossed the sky, landed on the enemy's firepower, and exploded with a bang.

The firepower point that was still in infancy was knocked out by Xia Yuan in this way.

"Grandma's, it's fried well!"

Company Commander Dai Wannian was surprised and delighted, surprised that the enemy's response was so rapid, and it was no wonder that the soldiers of the second platoon still could not attack despite paying huge casualties, relying on the enemy's hand to quickly build a firepower point, and the extremely rapid response was not at all comparable to the soldier of our army, and if the enemy was blown up a firepower point, a new firepower point would emerge.

Happily, this enemy point of fire did not cause much damage to a platoon of fighters, and it was blown up.

He turned his head to look in the direction of throwing the grenade, and saw a scene that he would never forget, so that after the battle of Shangganling, when he returned to China, he wrote a partial article called 'Brave Bombardier-Commander of the Ninth Company'.

The battle was difficult, but it also took a turn for the better because of the appearance of a soldier, he was Xia Yuan, the commander of the ninth company of the 135th regiment, who fought bloodily for three days in Shangganling, and still insisted on fighting the enemy when he had no troops in his hands, and his bomb-throwing ability was the best I have ever seen, and the enemy's firepower point had not yet been built, so I could see a grenade flying over it from a distance, exploding above the enemy's firepower point. ’

He not only has excellent bomb throwing ability, but also has a very strong observation ability, when the enemy is building a fire point, even if it is a hundred meters away, he can't escape his eyes and the grenade in his hand, so that after turning into the tunnel to fight, every time he conducts a night counterattack, he can do an excellent job of attacking the fortification, with small casualties around the enemy's fire bunker built on the mountain ridge, he is the only hope for all the soldiers in the No. 1 tunnel to fight hard, It is also the spiritual pillar that supported the soldiers through that time. ’

He was optimistic and always told us that the war would be won, that it would be won. ’

And as he said, the war was won. ’

The grenades that floated overhead continued to explode above the enemy's heads, and the clouds of gunpowder smoke that diffused and diffused not only attracted the soldiers in the first platoon, but also the remaining soldiers in the second platoon who were in charge of attacking the fortifications in front of them.

In sight, there was a cloud of gunpowder smoke that filled the enemy's head. Reaching my ears was an explosion that resounded in all directions above the enemy's head.

The soldiers have never seen such an accurate bomb throwing ability, this scene happened on Shangganling, Xia Yuan's appearance changed the tide of the battle, the enemy's firepower point is in Xia Yuan's hands, like a paper lake, no matter how hard the firepower point, as long as Xia Yuan pulls the grenade, even if it is not exploded, it can also be thrown to the enemy's bunker muzzle position, and the enemy's bunker will be temporarily extinguished.

After witnessing that Xia Yuan's bomb throwing ability was so powerful, Company Commander Dai Wannian immediately ordered all soldiers to take Xia Yuan as the center to support, cover, and charge, and attack the enemy's position with Xia Yuan as the core.

The effect of this order is to greatly change the casualties of our army in the process of attacking the enemy, Xia Yuan's offensive method is very simple, rifle shooting, covering the fighters of the demolition team to carry out a sudden face blasting, the enemy's fire sounded again, a grenade exploded at the enemy's machine gun muzzle, the soldiers stood up, rushed over with a blaster, the blaster pulled and twisted, and directly stuffed inside, with a roar, the enemy's machine gun bunker was rolled up by a huge explosion.

The Eighth Company and the First Platoon were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the enemy's heart, and the enemy's flank defense line that had been attacked by the powerful firepower of the Eighth Company and the First Platoon for nearly half an hour was like wood cut down by a machete, and a huge gap suddenly appeared.

The enemy on position No. 2 collapsed in just over half an hour.

The remnants of the second platoon of soldiers were also under the cover of the first platoon of soldiers, and successfully broke through the enemy's firepower point, and the trumpeter of the eighth company sounded the charge of the counterattack, at this moment, the soldiers of the second platoon, who were full of anger, picked up their guns and rushed towards the enemy, their eyes were firm and angry, and the picture of the platoon leader, squad leader and one of their comrades in arms was still floating in their minds.

They turned the mood of this regiment into a motive force to fight the enemy, and the No. 2 position was full of volunteer soldiers fighting with the enemy.

As soon as the enemy came out of the bomb shelter crater in the trench, a grenade suddenly flew from under the dark night sky in the distance, exploded on their heads, and immediately killed and wounded, screaming and wailing, surrounded by the figures of volunteer soldiers passing through, and the American troops on the second position were crushed.

After the enemy in the No. 2 position collapsed, the more courageous volunteer soldiers quickly reinforced the volunteers in the No. 11 position, under the enemy's dense firepower, our soldiers were pressed to the point that they could not raise their heads, Xia Yuan shouted: "Cover me!" ”

Under the firelight formed by the enemy's bullet strafing, and under the soil that the bullets kept falling on the ground, Xia Yuanmeng reluctantly got out of the bunker.

Dai Wannian knew Xia Yuan's bomb-throwing ability, and shouted: "Machine gunner, hit Lao Tzu hard!" Hold them down! ”

The enemy's bullets are still dense, looking at Xia Yuan who is walking through the rain of bullets, many soldiers sweat for Xia Yuan, Dai Wannian grabbed the soil hard, and looked at the enemy's machine gun bunker mouth with dead eyes, under the continuous suppression of the machine gunner, the enemy's heavy firepower was intermittent, which bought Xia Yuan a lot of time, he kept getting close to the enemy's machine gun bunker, after arriving at the position where the bomb could be dropped, Xia Yuan pulled a grenade and threw it out, and the grenade drew a parabola in the sky, in the eyes of all the soldiersThe grenade landed steadily in front of the mouth of the enemy's machine-gun bunker.

Bang.

With a burst of smoke and fire, the enemy's machine-gun bunker suddenly went on fire.

Dai Wannian's eyes widened, "It's beautiful!" Give it to Lao Tzu, blow up this dog's machine gun bunker! ”

The soldier in charge of the demolition jumped out of the bunker, stared at the enemy's machine gun bunker, rushed over quickly, a grenade floated above his head, Xia Yuan was supporting them, the grenades were like grenadiers fired, and they landed on the top of the enemy's head accurately, and the broken shrapnel blew up the foreign devils with screams.

All the soldiers were impressed by the bomb throwing technique of the ninth company commander, and the soldiers of the eighth company, who witnessed Xia Yuan's bomb throwing technique, shouted 'Long live the ninth company commander' and rushed into the enemy's forward position that was blown up.

At this moment, the tide of battle changed!
