Chapter 99: Enemy Reconnaissance Platoon
Walking out of the division headquarters, the gunfire became more obvious, coming from their west, as the 63rd Army retreated, the defense line was suddenly cleared, and the enemy sent a lot of reconnaissance troops to this side to start reconnaissance, and the division headquarters was at risk of being exposed.
Comrade Xiao Li listened to the sound of gunfire and said: "The comrades of the reconnaissance squad collided with the enemy, no, I heard the division commander say that the west is the defense line of the 63rd Army, how can there be an enemy." ”
"If the Sixty-third Army retreats, won't there be an enemy?"
Xia Yuan moved his ears, the guns were noisy, the battle was very fierce, judging from the sound of guns, the number of enemies was about a platoon.
Comrade Xiao Li let out an 'ah' sound, and asked a little stunned: "Comrade Xia Yuan, do you mean that the 63rd Army has retreated?" ”
Xia Yuan nodded: "This is obvious, the sixty-third army retreated, and the enemy could touch it." ”
Comrade Xiao Li was immediately a little nervous: "It's impossible, how could the 63rd Army retreat without saying a word?" ”
"No one can say for sure, if an emergency order is issued from above, they need to retreat immediately, so naturally there is no time to inform us."
Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Xiao Li, I'm going to take a company to take a look." ”
Comrade Xiao Li said hesitantly: "Comrade Xia Yuan, the division commander will let you have a good rest. ”
"It's never too late to rest, and you can't rest when the enemy is about to touch you."
Xia Yuan shook his head resolutely and said, "Comrade Xiao Li, in this way, you arrange it for us first, and I will take someone over to take a look, and when we come back, it will be arranged here, and I will directly let them rest." ”
Seeing that Comrade Xiao Li was still a little hesitant, Xia Yuan took another method and said: "The enemy uses Thomson submachine guns and Garand semi-automatic rifles, while our army uses Soviet-made PPS submachine guns, judging from the sound of gunfire, there are at least one platoon of the enemy, our army has more than ten soldiers, Comrade Xiao Li, the division commander also said that it is necessary to adapt according to the situation, the battle over there is fierce, if the enemy calls for reinforcements, the position of the division headquarters may be exposed, there are still many wounded in the hospital, if the enemy fights, Can you rely on the division headquarters? ”
Comrade Xiao Li immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and said, "Comrade Xia Yuan, I understand what you said, I need to report to the division commander. ”
"Slow, don't go yet, the division commander has to worry about the war all day long, the war on the front line is becoming more and more severe, the soldiers can't eat enough, they can't sleep well, the division commander has a lot to worry about, there is no need to trouble the division commander for this little thing, I will take a company to go to the company, the reconnaissance squad is fighting fiercely with the enemy, we went over and touched the back of the enemy's buttocks, give them a look, this group of enemies will not work."
Xia Yuan stopped Comrade Xiao Li, who was leaving.
Comrade Xiao Li thought about it and felt that Xia Yuan was talking about this truth, so he said: "Then you have to be careful, I will arrange a place for you to rest first." ”
"Comrade Xiao Li, I'm sorry for you."
"Then you must come back safely."
"Don't worry."
Seeing Xia Yuan's back, Comrade Xiao Li stood in place for a long time, muttering that he didn't know what to say, and turned his head to arrange a place for more than a dozen comrades in the company to rest.
"Company commander!"
Xia Yuan came to the forest where he was temporarily resting, and when the big guy saw him come out, he immediately greeted him.
"Xia Yuan, what happened, why did you suddenly fight, this is the teacher's finger."
Instructor Shao felt a little uneasy, holding a slowly burning American-style cigarette between his two rough fingers, and the other was pinching his clothes with a haggard face.
Lao Ma, Lao Yang, and Lao Chen don't look good, their eyes are full of red bloodshots, they look like man-eating beasts, their hair and beard are very long, and some time ago they trimmed with bayonets, shaved or something, although the conditions of North Korea are limited, but they will not make themselves so sloppy.
At that time, the war had not yet begun, and the 180th Division was still in the tunnels in the rear, watching the performances of the art team from time to time, and the cooking class would also make cakes for everyone to eat, and the logistics supply at that time was quite stable.
But everything changed with the advent of war.
Xia Yuan collected his gaze, loaded the gun behind him, and said: "The foreign devils are coming from the north, it should be their scouts, and they touched our division by mistake, and now the guard squad of the division is fighting with that group of foreign devils, let's go over and help." ”
"It's all special code to touch the headquarters, damn it, I can't let them touch it!"
"Listening to the gunshots, the fighting is really fierce, and the combat effectiveness of the scouts of foreign devils is not small."
"Will the combat effectiveness of being a scout be poor?"
Everyone chatted, quickly loaded the weapons and ammunition, and followed Xia Yuan into the forest lightly, along the winding mountain road, looking for the sound of gunfire.
At this time, there were eighteen volunteer soldiers who were relying on the favorable terrain to shoot at the enemy, but their firepower was obviously weaker, and the enemy's fire was more ferocious, the light machine guns clicked non-stop, the bullets popped and broke the half-man-high bushes, and there were falling broken leaves everywhere.
The bullets are intertwined, and the sound of clanging is endless.
The battle of dozens of people occupied a battle line two hundred meters wide, Xia Yuan and a company had already run near them, and the situation below was very clear in a mountain bag, he simply counted the number of steel helmets, a platoon of enemies, did not carry heavy weapons, all of them were lightly armed, and the only light machine gun was just a BAR automatic rifle, which was used as a machine gun.
"More than thirty foreign devils, a platoon, Lao Xia, I took a few people to touch the back of this group of foreign devils' buttocks and give them a hard time."
Ma Da also made this enemy clear by checking the number of enemy steel helmets, and more than 30 foreign devils made him full of confidence.
"Together, don't be careless, this group of foreign devils is the enemy's scouts, those who can be scouts, there are few fuel-efficient ones, it is not advisable to fight more and less, let's just a dozen people, strive to rush a wave and eat this enemy!"
"Lao Xia is right, don't be careless and paralyzed, this is the teacher's finger, we can't afford this responsibility if something happens, don't look at only more than 30 foreign devils, then we have to go all out!"
Instructor Shao chimed in.
Everyone stopped talking, followed closely behind Xia Yuan, got down from the mountain bag, followed the steep mountain road, touched the trees standing on the mountainside, and carefully touched down.
As I got closer and closer to the positions of the two sides of the fire, I could clearly feel the sound of bullets intertwining in the air, which was a bit noisy.
Although the firepower of more than a dozen volunteer soldiers is not strong, they cherish every bullet, even if they can't hit the enemy, but they must also do it to the extent of threatening the enemy's safety.
While engaging the enemy, the eighteen volunteer soldiers were constantly changing their positions to prevent them from being exposed and surrounded by the enemy.
Xia Yuan didn't make too many observations, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and the situation observed in this second will be very different from the situation observed in the next second, especially in a battle like this kind of company, the speed of change is particularly fast, and he can't afford to spend more time observing the situation on the battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield in which a company and platoon units are fighting is inherently fast, and observation may not be useful.
What is needed more is an improvisation situation on the battlefield.
Coming to the ravine, Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, they were already very close to the position where the enemy was firing, and they could even hear the cries of foreign devils, messy bullets puffed on the trunk of the tree directly in front of them, the trunk exploded, and sawdust flew everywhere.
Xia Yuan held a gun, staring at the American troops in front of him, and his ears were getting information about the enemy from time to time.
Waiting made Ma Da and a few people a little anxious, and wanted to stand up and charge at the enemy, but they were stopped by Instructor Shao with a look, and they could only squat on the ground and squeeze the gun in their hands hard.
After dozens of seconds, Xia Yuan retracted his gaze, turned his head and gestured, pointed at a few fighters, formed two combat groups to attack on one side, and ordered several fighters to form two combat groups to attack in the other direction.
Several people immediately set off, peeled off the dense bushes, and saw soldiers hiding behind bunkers, wearing gray coats and uniforms, more than 30 people scattered on a battle line more than 100 meters wide, and the faces turned out to be yellow people.
Ma Da didn't know why, and for a short time of being stunned, the Han Jun found Ma Da Man, Chen Lie and Lao Yang who suddenly came out from the side, and moved the muzzle of the gun towards the stunned Ma Da with a gun.
"You don't want to die!"
Chen Lie's eyes were quick, and he pushed the big horse to the ground.
"Damn, why do you look like us."
Ma Da was a little dazed, and then he was hit by a series of bullets.
"That's Han Jun!" Chen Lie scolded and scolded, he was almost killed by Ma Da, he had a good sneak attack, but because Ma Da was a short cold monk, he was discovered by the enemy, if it wasn't for his fast reaction, it is estimated that Ma Da was beaten into a sieve by the enemy at this time.
"Han Jun, why did Han Jun appear on the side of the division commander."
Ma Da was stunned.
"How do I know?" Chen Lie held the gun and lay on the anti-slope plane, panting, obviously frightened by the situation just now.
"Company commander, they're fighting the enemy!"
Lao Yang, who was observing, suddenly shouted.
The three of them opened their ears and heard only the sound of gunfire, accompanied by the explosion of grenades.
The battle on the other side was very smooth, Xia Yuan expected that this group of enemies was the South Korean army's group of sticks, when they were in Shangganling, they fought with them, the sticks were smarter than the American army, and they were more vicious, so they naturally wouldn't be too light, leading a combat group of soldiers to rush out of the bushes, grenades and submachine guns continued to greet, and the Korean soldiers who were caught off guard were stunned by a few people who suddenly rushed out from behind their buttocks, and five or six Korean soldiers in an area were shot and killed indiscriminately, and their bodies were covered with large and small blood holes, and they fell to the ground and smoked a few times without moving.
"In the past, occupy important places!"
Xia Yuan roared, set up a large eight grains aimed at the bushes in the distance, a series of bullets flew out of the dense bushes, judging that the enemy was in the bushes, he immediately shot back, the bushes were blocked, and it was completely based on listening to the position to judge its direction through the enemy's gunshots, and one of the eight bullets always hit the enemy.
The enemy's firing really stopped for a short time, and he immediately got out, rushed to the anti-slope occupied by the South Korean army while changing ammunition, grabbed a grenade from the corpse of a South Korean soldier, ripped off the pull ring and threw it towards the bushes in the distance.
Wang Xiaoliang, Liu Tiezhu and Sun Changgui have also cooperated for a long time, and they are soldiers in the same platoon, and they have cooperated no less than several times, especially in the blocking battle on the high ground, they climbed out of the shell crater together, and the cooperation between them is still very good.
The instructor led a platoon commander and a soldier from the cooking squad to attack the South Korean army from the other side.
This Han army's will to fight is quite strong, after Xia Yuan and them appeared, they immediately rushed towards them, and the gunfire was very chaotic, especially in such a jungle, Liu Tiezhu and Sun Changgui are also old soldiers, and this kind of jungle combat is not once or twice, and they are still at ease.
Wang Xiaoliang looked a little confused, he couldn't see the enemy, he could only hear the gunshot, the gunfire was very chaotic, he couldn't tell whether the gunfire was his own person or the enemy, he crawled on the ground with the gun, and from time to time a string of bullets swept the dirt above his head, and Wang Xiaoliang curled up in shock.
"I can't see anything, how can I fight?"
Wang Xiaoliang shouted complainingly.
"Then don't move, don't shoot indiscriminately, don't hurt your own people!" Liu Tiezhu shouted.
"Hold your breath." Sun Changgui held a big eight grains, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the company commander not far away, and shouted: "Company commander, how to fight, I feel that there are enemies everywhere, and there are gunshots from our own people, are we being beaten by our own people as enemies." ”
"I guess so."
Xia Yuan's eyes were solemn, and he looked at the equipment on them, all of them were American-style equipment, and most of the jungle battles were judged by the sound of gunfire when they couldn't see anyone.
Experienced soldiers on the battlefield can basically distinguish the unique sound of the enemy's gunfire, and their own gunfire, which is also judged by the difference in the sound emitted by weapons and equipment.
They didn't come forward, and the volunteers on the opposite side couldn't see them, they could only hear that they were American-style equipment, so they naturally treated them as enemies. The good thing is that it is precisely because they did not show their heads, the volunteers could not see them, but only fired a few times, and then there was no movement, and they were replaced by the main force, and it is estimated that the heavy machine guns were used at this time.
It's not too bad.
"You're waiting here."
Xia Yuan stared at the shrub in front of him, the shrubs in the mountains and fields were very dense, and the grass blades hurt people, so he shuttled through the bushes with a gun, looking for the sound of gunshots, and bumped into Ma Da and them head-on.
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at Ma Da, almost pulled the trigger, and saw the clothes of several people, Xia Yuan withdrew the gun and asked, "Why are you here, not from the enemy's flank." ”
"You ask the old horse." Chen Lie saw clearly that it was Xia Yuan, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and replaced a magazine for Da Ba Grain.
"What's going on?"
Xia Yuan turned his head and asked.
"Lao Xia, the enemy is the Han army!"
