The casualties were also heavy.

The 538th Regiment itself was seriously understaffed, and most of the troops were seriously wounded, and at this juncture, continuing to attack the enemy's position, Xia Yuan understood that the order was everything.

Shiji has not yet given the order to transfer, which means that the 538th Regiment will continue to serve as the heavy task of containing the enemy.

In several successive battles, the first company as a battalion of sharp knife companies, only more than 40 people remained, and on the 21st, they launched an attack on the American position, and the enemy's fierce fire suppressed the path of the volunteer charge.

Xia Yuan led a platoon of battle teams composed of Lao Yang and Wang Xiaoliang to attack the enemy's high ground, with machine gunner Liu Tiezhu serving as fire cover in the rear.

The second and third platoons were responsible for the offensive tasks of the left and right flanks.

Forty men, divided into three groups, attacked the enemy's high ground, and the enemy who held on the high ground had about a company.

The only good news is that Major Rohr's reinforced battalion seems to have received other orders and has left the established position, that is, the departure may include the enemy's heavy artillery positions, which, due to the lack of intelligence about the enemy, can only be determined by occupying enemy heights and obtaining accurate intelligence.

The soldiers had been without food for a day, there was no oil and water in their stomachs, they were hungry, and their breakfast was boiled wild vegetables in clear water, which had no taste.

So much so that when attacking, the warriors dragged their tired bodies to attack the enemy's high ground.

Xia Yuan took the lead, he understood that he had to lead the three of them to break through the enemy's frontal position, in order to reduce the pressure on the left and right flanks.

Shells fell on the road they attacked, cracking and rubbling, rolling up black dirt, and the smoke of gunpowder obscured the sky.

Xia Yuan was gray-headed, only the whites of his eyes were particularly conspicuous, he held the big eight grains with little ammunition, temporarily aimed, pulled the trigger, and the bullet swished past, the enemy's heavy machine gun was dumb, and another machine gunner wanted to accept it, and with a clang, a bullet penetrated his steel helmet.

Ahead, Lao Yang and Wang Xiaoliang turned their heads and shouted excitedly: "It's a beautiful fight!" ”

The two picked up their submachine guns and fired at the enemy's high ground, Lao Yang took the lead in jumping out of the bunker, rolling and rushing to the top of the mountain, he shouted: "Little man, cover!" ”

Wang Xiaoliang has experienced last night's battle, has begun to grow, his body has faded into immaturity, his eyes have given birth to a little sharp, in the face of the enemy's bullets, he also dared to bravely make a counterattack, the Thomson submachine gun in his hand continued to spray bullets, strafing the enemy on the top of the mountain.

Behind the two, Xia Yuan was like a guardian saint, firing bullets to eliminate the foreign devils who were shooting at Lao Yang.

Lao Yang touched the enemy's forward position, threw the grenade in his hand to the enemy's firepower point, the grenade accurately fell in the enemy's firepower point, the gunpowder smoke drifted by, the enemy's firepower point was not blown up, and there were still intermittent bullets floating by.

"One more!"

Wang Xiaoliang shouted.

During this period, the domestically produced grenades were stuffed with black powder, which was small in power and insufficient in lethality, completely insufficient to kill people, and was also nicknamed a shock bomb by the US military.

Unless it explodes nearby, it will not be damaged at all if it is a few meters away.

On the other hand, after the explosion of the enemy's grenade, the shrapnel flying is as powerful as bullets, and the range of the splash can cover several meters.

Seeing that a grenade did not have much impact on the enemy's firepower point, it was not until the second grenade was thrown over, and the enemy's firepower point stopped spraying flames after the explosion, Wang Xiaoliang saw this, and immediately rushed towards the enemy's high ground, Xia Yuan followed, he moved quickly, while raising the muzzle of his gun to shoot at the enemy on the mountain, and one American soldier fell under his gun.

Seeing this, Lao Yang shouted, 'Awesome', turned over and jumped into the enemy's trench, cooperated with Wang Xiaoliang, opened the bow left and right, Xia Yuan dragged down the grenade on the enemy's corpse, and after dodging the bullets floating overhead, he immediately pulled the enemy's grenade and threw it hard.

The enemy's grenade is powerful, and after an airburst mine explodes, the enemies in that area are emptied without gunfire.

The pressure on Lao Yang and Wang Xiaoliang dropped sharply, and they immediately rushed forward to occupy the area, Wang Xiaoliang glanced at the corpse of the enemy, the military uniform he was wearing was pierced by shrapnel, and the blood stained the clothes.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and pack up your ammunition!"

Lao Yang grabbed a corpse with a Thomson submachine gun on the corpse, dragged the bullets from the enemy's body and carried it on himself, picked up the submachine gun and fired at the enemy who counterattacked from a distance.

Wang Xiaoliang hurriedly retracted his gaze, pulled down a grenade, pulled it and threw it over, with a loud bang, reimbursing several enemies.

Xia Yuan occupied a small dirt slope in the rear, constantly emptying the magazines of the counterattacking enemy, and in just a short time, a platoon of the enemy's counterattack was repelled by the fire network composed of the three of them.

They were like a nail deeply rooted in the enemy's position, and the second and third battle groups in the rear immediately came up with reinforcements, and formed a battle group with Xia Yuan's three-person battle group after occupying favorable terrain and deploying on the enemy's forward position to return fire on the enemy.

The sharp sound of shells fell on the position, the rolled up soil was full of height, the deafening roar rolled the bullets whistling overhead, the position was filled with gunsmoke, a scorched map, and there were enemy corpses everywhere, Xia Yuan grabbed the bullets on his body, which was already empty, he immediately crawled on the enemy's corpse, grabbed the submachine gun on the enemy's body, and fired at the American troops hiding in the bunker in the distance.

Lao Yang and Wang Xiaoliang immediately approached, threw a grenade over, and after reimbursing the American troops in that position, they continued to advance along the trench.

"Watch your left!"

When changing the magazine, Xia Yuan observed that there was a squad of the enemy on the enemy position who actually touched the trench on the left side, which was a communication trench in the direction of the attack of three rows, and the enemy used this communication trench in an attempt to wrap up and rush to them on the forward position from the left side.

When a cannonball fell, Xia Yuan reacted very quickly, and after shouting, he quickly jumped into the trench, the roar exploded overhead, there was a buzzing in his ears, and the sound of falling dirt smashing on his body became unreal, and the sound of bullets whizzing through his head became illusory.

Xia Yuan shook his head, the tinnitus gradually disappeared, the crisp sound of the submachine gun on the position sounded one after another, he immediately grabbed the big eight grains, wanted to rush to the left to help the soldiers on the position to relieve the siege, and collided with two American soldiers head-on at a corner, where did these two American soldiers think that they would meet a gray-faced Chinese at the corner, before they could react, a soldier felt pain in his abdomen, looked down, and the bayonet did not know when to pierce his heart.

The bayonet was drawn, and the whole person fell to the ground, and his whole body convulsed a few times, but he did not move.

Another soldier's eyes widened and he cursed, "Fuck! fuck！ ”

He raised the gun and was about to pull the trigger, but he didn't know who he was facing, Xia Yuan's reaction speed had long surpassed that of ordinary people, the soldier's gun lifting action seemed to be slowed down in his eyes, he took an arrow step, grabbed the other party's gun and aimed it at the sky, bang bang, the bullet grazed Xia Yuan's ears and was all shot to the sky.

Xia Yuan pressed it with great force, the bayonet pierced the throat of the other party, freed the two of them, immediately dragged away the magazines on the two of them, replaced the bullets for their empty rifles, and passed through the road that the two had just touched, and went around behind the enemy, this enemy had already occupied the terrain and was fighting fiercely with Lao Yang and Wang Xiaoliang.

Xia Yuan quickly aimed at the enemy's figure, pulled the trigger, and the bullet popped out.

“move！ move！ ”

The ass was attacked by the Chinese, and the American lieutenant immediately shouted to retreat, and a bullet pierced his head, clanging through the steel helmet, and his body fell to the ground as if he had been whipped by a whip.

Xia Yuan's hand moved quickly, pulled out the magazine, changed the magazine, and only completed it at the moment when the enemy turned around, and the bullets clanged out, and one bullet after another pierced the enemy's body, falling heavily to the ground.

A squad of U.S. troops has become a threat, Xia Yuan led three combat groups of volunteer soldiers, on the position and the enemy launched a fierce positional battle, Commander Lei and Instructor Shao led the second and third platoons belatedly, when joining the battle, the enemy's resistance was obviously weak, the rear position was only in a short charge of our army, and it was captured, accompanied by grenades exploding above the enemy's head, a company of American soldiers stationed on the high ground was wiped out after three hours of fierce fighting by our army.

A company successfully captured enemy positions.

The smoke of gunpowder was thick and the scorched earth was everywhere.

The surviving people were buried for the sacrificed comrades, and their bodies were buried on this high ground and buried on the spot, there was no way, the corpses wanted to be brought back, it was too difficult.

Several soldiers found some canned meat in the American position, swallowed their saliva and handed it to Company Commander Lei, this was the few food they captured, three boxes of canned food, enough for them to eat for a while, Company Commander Lei endured the hunger in his stomach, looked at the soldiers, and said:

"Comrades, I know that everyone is hungry and tired now, but we have to think about the seriously injured comrades in the rear, they have nothing to eat, they are hungry and desperately need nutritional supplements, and we have to send these grains to the regiment headquarters."

Even though the soldiers were hungry, they did not reach the level of hunger and madness, and they still kept their senses, and these three boxes of canned food were all canned meat, which was rich in nutrients, and was the most suitable for replenishing the nutrition of the wounded.

The grizzled Wang Xiaoliang said: "Company commander, we listen to you. ”

After a battle, there were only more than 30 fighters left in the company, Ma Da was wounded, and a bandage was put on his arm, Chen Lie was fine, but his face was a little dark, Xia Yuan, as always, was the same as Chen Lie, and his cheeks were blackened by gunsmoke.

Instructor Shao said, "Take one apart and let the soldiers taste it." ”

Company Commander Lei hesitated, and said patiently: "Instructor Shao, you are also an old comrade, the seized materials must be handed over, if we open the cans without permission, we will make a mistake." ”

Looking at the expressions of the soldiers, Company Commander Lei was a little unbearable, and the discipline of the army restrained them.

As if he didn't want to embarrass the company commander, one soldier said: "Company commander, we are not hungry, let's hand over the food to the regimental headquarters, those seriously wounded need nutrition." ”

When the others heard this, they also echoed: "Yes, company commander, we still have wild vegetables, and we can still eat wild vegetables." ”

A soldier from the cooking squad said, "When we win the battle, I will go back and give everyone a pancake to eat." ”

"Hahaha, then I want to eat scallion pancakes."

"Wood problem, don't say it's scallion pancakes, even egg pancakes I can make."

The soldiers talked and laughed, forgetting the pain caused by the war, Xia Yuan looked at their faces blackened by the war, and was only moved in his heart, this group of people, who were only in their early twenties, had already shouldered the responsibility for the rise and fall of the country.

He stood up and said: "Comrades, don't worry, canned meat, canned fruit, there will be it, and I will take you to seize it when the time comes!" ”

The soldiers looked at Xia Yuan with bright eyes one by one.

"Platoon commander, what you said is true?"

"When did the platoon leader tell a lie?"

"Canned fruit, what's that?"

"Are there apples or bananas in there?"

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, polished a match, lit a cigarette, and said: "There are apples and bananas, and watermelons, Huang Tao knows no, take a bite, the juice will fill your mouth at once, sweet and delicious!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers fantasized about the canned fruit in Xia Yuan's mouth, and kept swallowing their saliva.

The method of quenching thirst is also applicable to modern warfare.

After Xia Yuan said this, many soldiers were in a higher fighting mood, thinking that as long as they beat the foreign devils, they would be able to eat delicious canned fruits, and they were all looking forward to driving away the foreign devils as soon as possible.

Ma Da pulled Xia Yuan: "What you said, canned fruit, is there really one?" ”

"Hahahaha!" Xia Yuan laughed and said, "Of course there is, using a special method to make it, maybe there will be a foreign devil command." ”

After attacking the enemy's position, the ammunition was replenished, and the American mortars and a small number of shells, Bazooka and Bazooka shells were also captured, and a lot of semi-automatic rifle and Thomson submachine gun bullets were captured, Xia Yuan's ammunition had increased to 300 rounds, and the food bar hanging around his neck was filled with a lot of ammunition.

The ammunition was replenished, and according to the orders of the superiors, they were going to continue to attack, Xia Yuan didn't know what would wait for the soldiers ahead, but he knew that the time for the 180th Division to be surrounded was estimated to be short.

Walking through the mountains and forests, they came to another hill, and from a distance, the enemy's machine-gun bunkers rose from the top of the hill, overlooking the entire highland.

The soldiers of the first company wore hats with weeds pinned to their heads, hiding in the dense grass, and the commander of the company Lei observed with binoculars, his brows furrowed.

Instructor Shao observed and was silent.

Xia Yuan couldn't help frowning when he saw it.
