Chapter 14: A War of Annihilation that Ends Quickly
On the surface position, with the arrival of the first company, the soldiers built a large number of trenches and bomb shelters on the position, and the criss-crossing trenches meandered to cover the high ground, and the soldiers of the first company packed up their weapons and equipment in a very short time, and Ma Da loaded the magazines and said: "Grandma, the combat mission has finally been issued, and if the combat mission is not issued, the guns in our hands will be rusty."
Xia Yuan loaded the bullet and said, "Okay, don't grind, if you want to carry out the mission after delaying the fighter, it will be difficult."
"Yes."
As soon as Ma Da loaded the bullet, tied it to his body, and set off.
Xia Yuan, Ma Shunyao, Chen Lie, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao met on the position, and Company Commander Lei said: "The enemy of a platoon is approaching the height opposite our company, and will appear on the high ground in a while."
Instructor Shao raised his head and looked at the sun, and said, "In two hours, it is estimated that it will be dark, and this group of foreign devils is not restless, and they want to see the deployment of our 60th Army."
The sun is still hanging in the sky at three o'clock, but it has begun to tilt westward, and it will not be long before it will set in the west mountain, and at night it will be the world of their volunteers.
Ma Da Du volunteered: "Company commander, I will lead our second platoon to ambush the high ground in advance, waiting for the enemy to climb to the top of the mountain, and we will catch them by surprise!"
Company Commander Lei said: "The enemy is dispatching a platoon, one of you platoon is not safe to ambush the enemy, Xia Yuan, you take a platoon and the second platoon commander to move together, two platoons, you must leave this group of enemies on the high ground opposite!"
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute."
Seeing that the two were leaving, Company Commander Lei stopped the two of them again: "Remember, this is the first battle of our battalion and company on the Korean battlefield, give me a beautiful fight, the division commander and they are all watching behind our buttocks, this time the fight is beautiful, and you will remember us when you have a mission in the future!"
Xia Yuan grinned, "Company commander, don't worry, I'll take the head as a guarantee, the enemy will run one, and let the old horse carry my head to see you."
", what's the use of Lao Tzu's request for your head, if you want to mention it, just bring their commander's head to me!"
"Yes!"
Xia Yuan and Ma Da left quickly with guns.
Chen Lie looked at it with blank eyes, "Company commander, what is my mission?"
Company Commander Lei said: "The task of your three platoons is to stay in the position and provide long-range support to Xia Yuan, your marksmanship is good, suitable for long-range shooting, and you are responsible for fire support, this mission is relatively simple, the enemy only has one platoon, and it will be useful to you in the future."
"Yes!"
Chen Lie looked at the first and second rows of soldiers who were gathering in the trench.
"This is the first battle of our war in Korea, but the division commander behind me looked at us, and they all cheered me up and showed my housekeeping skills!!"
Xia Yuan raised his voice, his mentality should change with the progress of battlefield matters, since the overall situation cannot be changed, then try to change the small situation.
"Yes!"
"Let's go!"
Without too many impassioned words, Xia Yuan led a platoon of soldiers down the mountain, crossed the road, and quickly touched the opposite high ground from the left side, while Ma Da took his second platoon to touch the high ground from the right side, as he said, the second and third companies of the first battalion of the 538th Regiment were observing the other two high grounds.
The second company commander took the binoculars and looked: "The first company has already started to act, I didn't expect our first operation on the Korean battlefield to be robbed by Lao Lei's guy, hey, you said that this Lao Lei is really lucky, that foreign devil touched the high ground opposite the mountain where he was stationed impartially, this is simply mutton sent to the mouth, this can't be said without a bite."
The instructor of the second company laughed: "You, wait, maybe the superiors will arrange a combat mission for us next time."
Second Company Commander
looked at the company of soldiers crossing the road and said, "It seems that they plan to go to the high ground to ambush that foreign devil, two platoons ambush foreign devils, it seems that Lao Lei is also very cautious."
The instructor of the second company said: "We have to be cautious, this is our first confrontation with the American devils, although we have already taken classes when we come, but when we really face it, we still have to be cautious, Lao Lei dispatched two American devils in the queue to form a trap, on the one hand, it is cautious, on the other hand, it is to leave this foreign devil completely on that mountain."
The commander of the second company pursed his lips and said, "If you stay, you have to leave them behind, if you don't leave them, they will think that our volunteers are easy to bully, and they will want to bully us when the time comes."
Annihilation!
This is not only the idea of the second company commander, but also the idea of Commander Lei and Instructor Shao, but also the idea of Xia Yuan and Ma Da Zhuang, at this time they have already taken people to touch the position halfway up the mountain, Xia Yuan held Bo Bosha, and ordered the soldiers to approach the top of the mountain in a three-three system alternately, in case of a face-to-face with foreign devils, and he observed the surrounding terrain through powerful hearing and vision.
The location of this high ground is not very good, easy to attack and difficult to defend, plus it is not an important high ground, the volunteers did not set up a defense on this hill, but this hill was bombed by American bombers, the high ground on the hill presented a scorched earth, in order to confuse the enemy, although it was not deployed on this high ground, but in this high ground dug criss-cross trenches, American planes flew over, saw the trenches below, they would bomb this hill again, until all the fortifications were destroyed, It did not cause any casualties to the volunteers, but consumed a lot of bombs carried by American bombers.
The dirt on the high ground was black, full of bomb impact points, and the soil that had been refurbished by the explosion was soft, and the three of them were a platoon of fighters in a combat group, holding guns, alternately ascending the high ground and occupying the favorable terrain.
The second platoon, led by Ma Da, ascended from the other side of the high ground and faced the first platoon to the left and right, hiding behind the anticline of the high ground, quietly waiting for the enemy to enter their ambush position.
This high ground in front of us is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very close to the defense area of their first battalion, only separated by a road, and the enemy can clearly observe the situation of their defense area through this high ground, and once the enemy grasps the situation of the defense area of the volunteers, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
Xia Yuan lay on the ground and said to Lao Yang, "Lao Yang, there is a new comrade in the platoon who has never been on the battlefield, you will help watch it later, so that he can adapt first."
Lao Yang grabbed the gun and said, "Lao Xia, don't worry, I have already explained to Tan Zhanbiao, and Liu Tiezhu will help watch it."
Xia Yuan nodded and said, "That's okay, don't wait for the fight to start, this new comrade can't find the south, south, north, and west, and then hit his own people."
He thought of when he was in Shangganling, he also entered the company as a recruit, and when he went to complete the task of attacking the fortified position for the first time, the deputy squad leader looked at him, but after the battle of Shangganling, many soldiers of the Ninth Company stayed on Shangganling, and only a handful survived.
On the other side, Ma Da grabbed the gun and stared into the distance, grinning and said, "Grandma, why haven't you come yet, they are all walking on two legs, why are these foreign devils walking so slowly."
The deputy platoon commander of the second platoon said with a smile: "Old horse, save some effort, the time to come will always come."
"Appeared, appeared."
A group of leaders stretched their heads up, and saw a group of foreign devils coming down the mountain in the distance, they were walking up the mountain, but they were walking very slowly, as if they were shopping, and they were pointing at the surrounding terrain while walking.
"Don't worry, calm down, wait for this group of foreign devils to go up the mountain."
Ma Da grabbed the gun and suppressed the voice.
「1、2、3......」
Some soldiers whispered the number of these foreign devils.
Thirty-six American devils.
After this group of American devils came to the position, they put the things in their hands on the ground, and the team dispersed, some soldiers seemed to be tired of walking, and sat on the ground to rest, several of them were lying in the sun, a few were holding rangefinders, and they were followed by soldiers who were making notes, and they did not find them hiding
The volunteers on the anti-slope and the volunteers hidden on the high ground opposite did not even have a sense of crisis.
This was the first time many soldiers saw an American, and they felt very strange, as if they had seen a very strange animal in a zoo.
Xia Yuan took out a grenade from his arms, stared at the American troops in the distance, and said in a suppressed voice, "Calm down and wait for the order to attack!"
The soldiers around him passed Xia Yuan's password, and the soldiers who received the password loaded the guns in their hands, and through the weeds fluttering with the breeze on the ground, they vaguely saw an American devil take off the steel helmet on his head, revealing a head of golden hair, and he was holding a telescope in his hand, wanting to observe our position.
Suddenly.
㘗㘗㘗!
From the high ground behind him came the familiar sound of a whistle.
That's the whistle for the offense!
The American devil who heard the whistle was obviously stunned for a moment, and the American devil who was observing with a telescope even wanted to observe the direction where the whistle sounded from, and in the clear sky, a grenade with white smoke spun and floated over.
Bang!
The dull sound spread from the high ground, the smoke of gunpowder filled, the American devil with the telescope died on the spot, his body was pierced by shrapnel from the grenade, and the rest of the American devils panicked, they stood up in a panic, and even ignored the equipment thrown on the ground, they were shouting: "Move! Move!」
In the chaos, several American devils collided with each other, just as the grenades thrown by the soldiers flew over and exploded in the air on their sides, and the broken shrapnel flew everywhere, and several American devils were hit by shrapnel and fell to the ground, and the shrapnel flew onto the steel helmet, making a crisp sound.
Not long after these American troops arrived here, not even two minutes, they did not expect our army's reaction to be so rapid, and the surviving American devils instinctively raised their guns and fired.
However, the whistle that was most familiar to the soldiers of the company sounded, and Ma Da couldn't hold it anymore, his body was slightly arched, and the moment he heard the whistle, he shouted, "Go, kill them!"
He rushed to the front in the first place, standing on the top of the hill with the submachine gun in his hand and shooting at the retreating foreign devils, the scattered bullets flew through the battlefield, popping on the ground, knocking down two American devils, the soldiers of the second platoon rushed out from the anti-slope, shouting 'Kill, the sound of the sharp knife platoon's charge began.
After throwing a grenade, Xia Yuan led a platoon of soldiers to go around the enemy's flank from the anti-slope plane, and launched an attack on this group of American devils from the side, and the crisp gunfire of the PPS submachine gun was one after another......
Relying on powerful skills, the submachine gun in his hand exerted great power, the enemy came out of half of his body, a series of bullets strafed over, the American devil who came out was covered with blood holes on his body, fell to the ground, the submachine gun fire rate is very fast, but the deviation of long-distance shooting is very high, Xia Yuan does not like submachine guns, he prefers Garand in the hands of American devils, after all, the first time he went to the battlefield is the Garand used, over time, compared to other types of guns, Garand is his favorite.
"Up, annihilate them, we can't be robbed of our meat by the second platoon!"
Xia Yuan threw out a grenade, the grenade exploded on the heads of several resisting American devils, and the gunfire disappeared, he shouted, leading a row of soldiers from the side like a sharp knife.
The American devils themselves are relatively timid and spare their lives, and in the face of attacks on the flanks and frontals, a platoon of American devils hardly has too much resistance, and the soldiers rushed to their heads, picked up the PPS in their hands, and pulled the trigger on the body of this group of American devils.
This was the first battle they fought abroad, and in the face of more than 30 American devils, the volunteer soldiers of the two platoons vented their anger on this group of foreign devils, and the most miserable American devil was covered with bullet holes.
In just ten minutes, two platoons of fighters rushed forward and annihilated one platoon of American troops, without any casualties themselves.
The battle ended very smoothly.
Ma Da is holding a Thomson submachine gun,
He said, "Lao Xia, look at it, the guns used by the enemy are really strange."
Xia Yuan ignored Ma Da, hung his PPS submachine gun on his waist, picked up a Garand on the ground, withdrew the magazine and looked at it, it was already empty. He fumbled around these American devils, grabbed the bullet bag and put it on his body, and said, "Lao Yang, pick up their clothes, pick up their bullet bags, shoes and socks, don't let go, more than 30 sets of clothes."
Ma Da plucked his ears in disbelief, "It's not Lao Xia, what are you doing with their clothes?"
Lao Yang also said, "Wouldn't it be bad to do this?"
"What's so bad, their clothes are good things, they can protect against frost and rain, and if you look at their shoes, they are not afraid of getting stuck in their feet when they step on nails."
Xia Yuan grinned, hung the bullet pouch on his body, took off the clothes of the American devil behind him, and said as he took it off: "These things can save lives at critical moments, and what are you doing for a little humanitarianism, I don't know if the lives of volunteer soldiers are important, or the so-called humanitarianism is important."
