Chapter 79: Reinforcements
"Then we'll delay it for another twenty minutes!"
"It can't be delayed, this plan can only be used once, the second time, the enemy will attack from here, the enemy is not stupid, they know that we are ambushed here, if we attack again, will they let us continue to ambush here?"
Instructor Shao stopped talking.
Xia Yuan stared at him and said: "Instructor, the military order is like a mountain, I am also a soldier, and I also know it, but we are already 'dead', we died under the bombardment just now, we have dragged the enemy infantry for twenty minutes, the enemy's tanks have gone up, five tanks, thirteen people, and three are wounded." ”
"By the way, I'm also wounded, five tanks, we can't blow them up!"
Xia Yuan slapped a shovel of soil under the rack of the machine gun, and said: "Instructor, I know that we have to hold the position, if we just stayed on the position and held the position according to your orders, under the enemy's artillery fire, we will sacrifice most of it, and we will sacrifice most of it when fighting the enemy's tanks, how many of them are left to fight the enemy's infantry, no, we can only hold out for ten minutes, and now, we are alive, and we have not died for twenty minutes after dragging the American infantry, we still have a chance, everything is still there." ”
Instructor Shao seemed to understand and nodded: "Then follow your orders." ”
"Take Lao Zhou away, you can't leave too many people here, you retreat and wait for us under the cliff halfway up the mountain."
Xia Yuan slapped the dirt under the machine gun rack tightly.
"Okay."
On the dirt slope, only Xia Yuan, Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Tiezhu were left, three people, and after a while, Tan Zhanbiao called Lao Yang and they also retreated, and there were also chaotic gunshots in the grass, and one bullet after another searched through the forest, hitting the trunk of the tree with a thumping sound, the trees shook constantly, and the raindrops the size of beans on the leaves kept falling.
"Old Xia!"
Lao Yang and the others ran out and quickly lay down in the trench.
"Get out of here!"
Xia Yuan kicked them.
"Lao Xia, you take people down, and we stay!" Lao Yang did not give up, when he saw the machine gun position, he understood that this was their last line of defense, and once he withdrew, the enemy would enter the high ground in a big way and completely occupy the 393.1 high ground.
"This is an order, don't disobey it!" Xia Yuan said sharply.
"You also disobeyed the order!"
Lao Yang was a little stubborn.
"That's different, I want you all to live!"
"I want you all alive too!"
Old Yang's scorched face was still stubborn, he wanted Xia Yuan and them to live, he could sacrifice, Xia Yuan couldn't.
The current Xia Yuan is not only their company commander, but also the backbone and spiritual sustenance of the only remaining people.
Chen Lie asked for battle: "Company commander! Let's stay! Fight to the death with the enemy! Buy time for you guys! ”
"When did we say we were going to fight the enemy to the death!" Xia Yuan squinted and asked.
"Company Commander, you"
Chen Lie pointed to the machine gun position, the meaning is self-evident, the role of this machine gun position in the eyes of outsiders, is to fight to the death with the enemy.
"Don't worry, I still cherish my life, the machine gun position is not meant to fight the enemy to the death, on the contrary, the machine gun position can repel the enemy's attack."
Xia Yuan shoveled the soil, raised his head and said, "Okay, you guys go down quickly, just leave it to me here." ”
He already had a rough plan in mind.
Everyone looked at each other, and Lao Yang stubbornly said, "Lao Xia, just let me stay." ”
"Platoon Commander Yang, this is an order!" Xia Yuan made a straight face and said, "You are also an old comrade, obey orders!" ”
Lao Yang still wanted to say something, there was a fierce gunfire in the forest, the bullets whizzed through the grass, and the grass that was already swaying from side to side was beaten by the drizzle, and after the bullets passed through, it immediately shattered, and the broken blades of grass fell everywhere.
"The enemy is coming, the position is too narrow, you know how many people are suitable for stationing in the trench more than ten meters long, hurry up!"
Xia Yuan stiffened his face, looked back at the forest from time to time, and covered his head with an iron shovel and an iron shovel.
Lao Yang knew that he couldn't persuade Xia Yuan, so he hurriedly got off the position with people, and even stayed on the position to help, since entering North Korea, Xia Yuan's strategy has been better and better every time, and he has never done anything that he is not sure of, but he is worried that no matter how good his grasp is, he can't grasp where the enemy's artillery will fall accurately, and where the bullets will hit accurately.
Everyone went down, and only Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Tiezhu were left on the small raised soil slope in the forest, as well as two heavy machine guns and a number of bullets.
"Have you gotten all the bullets ready?"
When everyone withdrew, Xia Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to ask.
"There are still some bullets that haven't been picked up." Wang Xiaoliang raised his head and said.
"No, it's too late." Xia Yuan stared at the enemy in the distance, grabbed some of the bullets on the ground, stuffed them into the magazine, and told Liu Tiezhu: "When the enemy comes out, let's fight when we get closer, don't spare the bullets." ”
"Company commander, are you going to run out of bullets?" Liu Tiezhu asked curiously.
"Well, we can't take the heavy machine gun with us, and we don't need to take it away, the bullets are gone, this thing is an iron lump, it's not as powerful as a small pistol, and staying here will also slow down the march."
Xia Yuan knew that there was a sacrifice to gain, he was originally through the difficult period of the War of Resistance against Japan, not to mention the advanced heavy machine gun of the US army, that is, a crooked handle was captured from the Japanese devils, all of which were regarded as treasures, and many soldiers in the company came from that difficult period, and they were somewhat reluctant to lose the heavy machine gun.
Liu Tiezhu was also reluctant, as a machine gunner, only he knew how difficult it was to have a heavy machine gun in the company, after all, he was born as a machine gunner.
Without thinking about it, more than a dozen American soldiers rushed out of the bushes, they held guns, followed closely after the ass of the group of Chinese who had just attacked them, and when they saw the Chinese retreating, they immediately chased after them, not realizing what they were going to face after rushing out of the bushes.
A small dirt slope that is not very big appeared in front of them, there are two heavy machine guns on the small earth slope, and the heavy machine guns are controlled by two black Chinese, at the moment they saw themselves, their faces showed a big tooth, followed by the heavy machine gun sounded, the tongue of fire spat out a long chain of fire, caught off guard, the body of the American soldier in the front row was pierced by bullets, blood splattered, and fell heavily to the ground.
Two long whip-like bullets pierced their bodies, causing them to fall to the ground and stop moving.
Wang Xiaoliang held a Thomson submachine gun and fired at the enemy, and the dozen or so American soldiers who rushed out from the front did not even react, and were beaten into a sieve.
There was a commotion among the American soldiers in the back, and the whizz of bullets crackled into the trees and through the bushes, so startled that they quickly lay on the ground, holding their guns and looking around vigilantly.
The bullets of the heavy machine gun whistled and clicked, and soon the barrel of the gun rose with hot smoke and dust, and a hot air rushed to the face, and the air in the muzzle of the gun was shaken by the bullet as if it were ripples.
Xia Yuan controls the heavy machine gun, different from Liu Tiezhu's way of using the machine gun, on the one hand, Liu Tiezhu maintains the accuracy of the shooting, using the method of point firing, da-da, the sound of da-da-da, the sound of da-da, the accuracy is much higher, and Xia Yuan's way of using the heavy machine gun is very simple and rude, using strong force to suppress the heavy machine gun, and the fire chain formed by the bullet is thrown on the ground, causing huge casualties to the US army.
The powerful force suppressed the recoil of the heavy machine gun, and the eyesight accurately locked onto the American troops lying on the ground.
“Move! Move! ”
The suppression of the two heavy machine guns caused them heavy casualties, and the US lieutenant saw the two heavy machine guns, but the walkie-talkie soldiers among them were killed by the Chinese marksman, so that they could not contact the artillery in the rear and could not blow up the sudden fire point in front of them, in order to avoid causing greater casualties to the troops, the US lieutenant chose to retreat.
"Withdraw, withdraw, U.S. forces withdrew."
Wang Xiaoliang said in surprise.
Xia Yuan controlled the heavy machine gun and strafed the retreating American troops, leaving behind a few foreign devils, and the enemy disappeared without a trace.
"Company commander, you are so powerful, it's just Guan Yu alive! If you are a husband, you can't open it! Liu Tiezhu said excitedly.
"Pack your things and retreat!"
Xia Yuan grabbed his rifle and put it behind his back.
Liu Tiezhu hesitated: "Company commander, is this heavy machine gun really not brought?" ”
Xia Yuan groaned a little and said, "Take, let's hide the heavy machine gun first, and we'll come and get it when we have the chance." ”
"Good!"
They hid their heavy machine guns in a patch of grass, collected the ammunition and grenades left on the corpses of the American soldiers, and did not keep any guns.
Sun Changgui was coming down from the high ground, his movements were fast, he stayed to contact the comrades of the machine gun company, just now, the comrades of the machine gun company brought back a message, the reinforcements of the 539th Regiment are on the way, this is good news for them, if the reinforcements of the 539th Regiment arrive, the position will be able to hold.
More than 100 people from the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 539th Regiment were on the road, moving quickly, and there were still a few kilometers away from the 393.1 heights, and the news had already been passed through the scouts.
When Sun Changgui found Xia Yuan and them, Xia Yuan was discussing the plan with everyone, Sun Changgui hurriedly reported the news of reinforcements to Xia Yuan, and received the news of the reinforcements of the 539th Regiment, Instructor Shao said: "Xia Yuan, if you want to fight the enemy's transport troops, we support it, after all, it is based on the situation that we can't hold the position, and now that the reinforcements are about to arrive, we still have hope of holding the position." ”
Xia Yuan pondered for a long time, "It looks like the plan is going to change for a short time!" ”
If they can hold their positions, how can Xia Yuan give up holding their positions and plan to take them to the rear of the US army, touching the rear of the US army, it means that they will be in a desperate situation, maybe better, maybe they will be surrounded by the enemy, and they will all be sacrificed.
"Has the enemy in the position retreated?"
Xia Yuan asked Sun Changgui.
"Company commander, the enemy on the position did not retreat, they are still in the position, there is probably a company." Sun Changgui thought about the picture of retreating.
"Where's the tank?"
Xia Yuan asked again.
"The tanks haven't gone down yet, they have finally taken down their positions, and they won't give up so easily." Sun Changgui said: "Company commander, when I came down, I found that the enemy was building fortifications!" ”
"Without further ado, we have to hurry back to the position!"
Xia Yuan thought for a moment, and then said: "Go and bring the heavy machine gun that was just hidden, the heavy machine gun is needed to counterattack, and when the reinforcements arrive, the heavy machine gun will also have bullets." ”
Lao Yang opened his mouth and asked, "Lao Xia, will it be too troublesome to carry a heavy machine gun at this time?" ”
"It's not troublesome, we can't fight without a heavy machine gun, and there is still a chain of bullets left in the heavy machine gun that has not been used up, so take it with you."
Xia Yuan asked them to pack up their equipment, "Rate the captured ammunition, the number of bullets is not much, use it carefully, our task this time is to blow up the enemy tank, and leave the matter of blowing up the enemy tank to me, my bomb throwing ability and shooting ability are very good, as long as the enemy's periscope is knocked out, the enemy will not be visible, and we will approach the enemy tank and blow it up." ”
"Company commander, wouldn't this be too risky!?" Lao Yang asked.
"Take risks, don't take risks, reinforcements arrive, if they come into close contact with foreign devils, the casualties will be greater, this is the bane we left."
Xia Yuan made a deep voice, pressed the empty magazine into the bullets, counted them, and there were more than twenty bullets left, which was due to his own strong shooting ability and the fact that he had a large number of bullets, and the others did not have much ammunition.
"If you don't have enough bullets for the submachine gun, you will carry a big eight or carbine, and when the bullets of the submachine gun are finished, you will use the rifle, and the more difficult the moment, the more we have to overcome it, and when it gets dark, it will be fine."
Xia Yuan loaded the bullet on his body and looked up at the sky.
Instructor Shao walked up to him and handed him a watch, "My watch is for you." ”
"Thanks, instructor."
Xia Yuan was not polite, put it on his hand after accepting it, and wiped the mud and rain on his watch, "At three o'clock in the afternoon, there are still two or three hours before it gets dark, and the sooner it gets dark, the more ferocious the enemy's offensive will be." ”
"There are five tanks on the enemy's position, plus a company, and the strength of one company of the US army is equivalent to our reinforced company, and the firepower is very strong, and there are artillery reinforcements, how sure are you that you want to withstand the fire of one company of the enemy and blow up the enemy's tanks?"
Instructor Shao swept away the leaves with his hands, exposed the ground, sat next to Xia Yuan, and chatted with him.
"Not much for sure."
Xia Yuan pulled down his sleeves and touched the gun in his arms.
"You're not sure enough that you're going to hit it?" Instructor Shao was stunned for a moment.
"Fighting is to reinforce the troops, if we don't fight, they still have to fight, and they may not even be able to fight down, I have experience in fighting tough battles, and I have strong throwing ability, and it is better not to sacrifice more people if we sacrifice a few of us."
"And when they come, the enemy's fortifications have already been trimmed, and it will be too late to attack again."
Xia Yuan was right.
The enemy has five tanks on the position, plus the strength of one company, and one company of the US army is far from being comparable to one of our companies, especially since the 539th Regiment itself is already very tired, and it is not an easy thing to take down the position.
Instructor Shao stopped talking.
Seeing that everyone was almost cleaned up, Xia Yuan propped up the ground with the butt of his gun, took off his hat and wiped the rain on his face, and said, "Let's go!" ”
