Under the continuous thunder net of grenades, the position was filled with gunsmoke within 30 meters, and there was broken shrapnel mixed with dirt everywhere.

The corpses of the enemy were placed everywhere, the fallen guns, in withstanding the grenade bombardment of the Chinese, launched two consecutive attacks on the Chinese positions, and finally ended in failure, their casualties were too great, just ten minutes of work, the bodies of American soldiers lying on the ground, the number of wounded is also increasing sharply.

When the attacking soldiers were decreasing at a visible speed, and the density was not as high as when they had just attacked the position, the most critical point was that no matter how the overseers roared, the soldiers had obviously become timid, and no one dared to rush forward, which was completely an act of seeking death.

After a few more minutes of fighting, the enemy's attack was weak, and the strength of the return fire became smaller and smaller, on the other hand, the Chinese still maintained their original speed, resisted their attack in an orderly manner, and seemed to have suffered no losses at all.

Knowing that he could not capture this high ground in a short time, the lieutenant who supervised the battle immediately decided to retreat first and wait until the artillery had plowed the Chinese positions on the mountain before attacking. As a result, a large number of American troops began to flee down the mountain.

"Repulsed, repulsed!"

Everyone stood up from the trenches and looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and the retreating American soldiers, and were overjoyed.

This battle lasted more than 40 minutes, and the attack of the American army was at the same level as their resistance, and if the American soldiers could be more fearless, it is estimated that their positions would have been washed away by the enemy long ago.

Fortunately, the morale of the American soldiers is low and they can no longer continue to fight, they need to go back to rest and rest, and then let their artillery plow through the Chinese positions, and perhaps raise some morale.

The enemy's wave of attacks was finally repulsed, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the position on the mountain attracted a large number of American troops to attack, and they also eliminated a lot of American troops, and a lot of weapons and ammunition fell on the position.

"Clean up the battlefield."

Instructor Shao was just about to give an order, but Xia Yuan refused, took out the whistle in his arms, and threw it to Wang Xiaoliang: "Little man Wang, go quickly, notify the artillery of the seventh company, shell fiercely towards the kilometer, the foreign devils retreat, we have to let them stay at a little price, we will retreat immediately now." ”

"Don't you keep it? I think we can hold on much longer. Instructor Shao asked.

"It won't last long, our strength has been exposed, and there are no reinforcements on the left and right flanks, the first wave of attack, although the enemy sent a battalion of troops, but the strength of this battalion is still only a test, they have figured out us, the next wave of attack will be after the end of the shelling, the enemy is very likely to attack from the left, center and right three directions, when the time comes, we will not escape."

This is the worst situation that Xia Yuan thought of, and the truth is similar to what he expected, the American infantry is retreating, the lieutenant immediately reports to their commander the situation of the Chinese on the mountain, the actual strength is far lower than imagined, so the second wave of attack is set for ten minutes later, the artillery fire will last for ten minutes, the artillery sound is over, and the troops are reorganized to attack the mountain.

With the strength of three companies, they attacked the Chinese on the mountain in three directions and wiped them out in one fell swoop.

The lieutenant immediately assured that the Chinese would be wiped out on this hill.

However, as soon as his words fell, the whistling sound of shells sounded overhead, one after another shells fell on the road, fell among the tanks, and the exploding earth flowers were fluttering one after another, and some of the wounded American soldiers had not had time to transfer, they thought that they would be safe and sound by hiding behind the tanks, but they did not expect to be injured and have this kind of suffering.

The artillery platoon's artillery fire did not last long, in fact, it only fired six shells, the artillery platoon only had six mortars, and there were only six shells in one round, and this level of artillery bombardment did not cause many casualties, after all, the volunteer soldiers all have a certain ability to dodge shells, and the US army is the most powerful force in the world, so there should be no problem in dodging shells, these six shells are completely to cover the retreat of a company.

But the attacking American troops had just retreated from the mountains, including a large number of wounded placed on the side of the tank retreat, to prevent the Chinese on the mountain from shooting at their wounded, in order to accommodate a large number of wounded, a tank leaned on a dozen wounded, a shell fell, and a nest was served on the spot.

The retreating infantry was also bombed, and the wounded were even more miserable, with painful wails and screams in one piece, and severed limbs and mutilated arms everywhere.

This situation made the US lieutenant angry and scolded, and he immediately contacted the rear and called for artillery support.

The artillery was deployed, and one howitzer after another was aimed in the direction of the high ground where they were attacking.

"Fire!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dull sound of metal crashing, grenades sliding out of the glossy barrels, drawing a long arc in the sky, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, fell like raindrops on the mountain.

In an instant, the earth shook, the mountains shook, and the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked.

The gunpowder smoke, which had already dissipated, resurfaced, and the entire mountain was covered with a layer of dim gunsmoke, exuding a pungent smell of gunsmoke.

"Fortunately, the retreat was early, and this level of shelling is afraid that every inch of land on the mountain has been turned over."

Instructor Shao stepped on the ground that continued to tremble, it was the earth wailing, the tremor of pain, one after another stray bullets missed, and landed on the opposite mountainside, the ground collapsed and the mountains were destroyed, the gravel was splashed, and the trees in the ravine could not stop shaking.

The smoke cleared, and a huge crater appeared halfway up the mountainside, the trees were broken, and the grass disappeared.

The 105mm howitzer is so powerful that just the aftermath of the explosion can easily shatter human organs, which can be called terrifying.

The explosion on the mountain was also caused by 105mm howitzers, and the diffuse air wave crackled and fell on the forest where they walked, and the smashed leaves swayed.

"Fortunately, I ran fast, this power, it is estimated that I will not escape death even if I hide in the bomb crater."

The soldiers nodded thoughtfully, some were glad that they had retreated early, otherwise they would have been devoured by the guns on the mountain, and there were no bones, they had seen the reactionary 75 howitzers, and the power was not small, and when they hit people, they could only see a cloud of blood mist, and there were no bones.

The power of the 105-mm howitzer is even more unimaginable.

Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at the movement on the mountain, the strength of the artillery group equipped by the US division was still very terrifying, this kind of intensive artillery bombardment, could the Seventh Company really hold on? He thought about it, and estimated that he had to change a method, and he couldn't let all the soldiers of the seventh company put on the position, and this level of shelling lasted for ten minutes, and I don't know how many people would survive.

At the end of the team, Fu Weiquan and Wang Xiaoliang were chatting, Wang Xiaoliang looked very self-blaming, Fu Weiquan and Si Jize were not from their company, but the soldiers of a battalion machine gun company, a company went to perform tasks, and their machine gun company was responsible for assisting a company to carry out long-range target strikes, saying that it was a long-range target strike, but in fact there was only one mortar and one Bazooka.

Later, he didn't find the company, so he followed the company all the way to the City God's Hall, and now he is fighting continuously, and only Fu Weiquan is left among the comrades of the machine gun company.

Wang Xiaoliang blamed himself very much, "When the tree exploded, I was exposed to a very shallow trench, Comrade Si Jize was hiding in the bomb crater, he ran out of the bomb crater in order to save me, and pounced on me, the flames that should have fallen on me fell on Si Jize. And I, too, shot at my own comrades. ”

This kind of thing happened to Wang Xiaoliang, which is undoubtedly the biggest blow.

"Don't blame yourself, he wants you to live well." Fu Weiquan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Next, live well, kill more little devils, and avenge Si Jize." ”

"When he sacrificed, he also told me, let me kill the little devil more, I will, I will definitely drive the little devil away!"

Wang Xiaoliang's face was firm.

He has gradually grown from an ignorant young man in China to a qualified volunteer soldier.

The artillery fire lasted for ten minutes, and when the artillery fire stopped, the smoke had not yet dissipated, and the enemy of three companies rushed to the high ground in a swarm, and the people choked by the thick smoke could not open their eyes, and there were bullet points everywhere, and the corpses of their own people left on the position had disappeared, and large areas of bullet impact points provided them with cover for their advance.

Around the impact point, there may be their own human body tissue, which has long been torn to pieces by their own artillery fire, and there are no bones left.

No one spoke, holding their guns, and cautiously groping forward, they passed through the trenches left by the Chinese, which had been buried by artillery fire, leaving only a shallow trace.

After more than ten minutes, they occupied the high ground, and no Chinese were found on the high ground

At this time.

Xia Yuan and his company had already joined up with Company Commander Cai and others, and it was expected to block the enemy for half an hour, but he didn't expect to drag the American army for an hour.

"There is also good news, when retreating, the enemy's artillery shells fell on our positions, which means that the enemy's artillery group has been deployed, and it will take a certain amount of time to retract the artillery group.

Xia Yuan didn't care about drinking water, and continued: "We have to adjust the deployment, you also heard the artillery fire just now, if you really want to put it on the position, it is estimated that the enemy's round of artillery fire may not be able to hold up." ”

"The artillery fire just now is mighty, more fierce than thunder in a thunderstorm, this level of shelling, I am afraid that every inch of land on the mountain will be plowed again!"

Thinking of this, the expressions on the faces of Company Commander Cai and the others were a little solemn, they had fought with the US army, but the strength of those US troops was far inferior to the enemy they blocked this time.

A whole whole division.

How many artillery groups a full division has.

It is estimated that in one round of artillery fire, all the offensive on the position will be destroyed.

"So, we have to readjust the deployment, I just saw when I came over, the anticline is very conducive to our evasion, we put the large force on the anticline, to prevent the enemy shelling, aggravated casualties."

"This is a good idea, when the enemy's artillery fire is over, we rush to the position as fast as possible, rush to dig trenches, and try to restore the bunker fortifications before the enemy arrives."

Instructor Pang quickly added.

"We also have to pay attention to one point, that is, the enemy's armored vehicles and tanks, when the enemy was attacking before, their tanks and armored vehicles also caused us great trouble, if the enemy is put in front of us and then fight, the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles will be worried about hurting their own people and have some scruples, we must seize this point, every time the enemy attacks, we have to put the enemy's infantry close before fighting."

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground and put a stone on the humble ground to be the vanguard of the enemy.

There are pros and cons to this method, and it does more harm than good, and it is too risky.

Everyone thought about it and didn't think it was a very good way, but at the moment they lacked the heavy firepower to deal with the enemy's tanks, and with an American division in the rear eyeing the enemy, the artillery position was deployed, and the entire hill could be completely covered in an instant, and the enemy could only be put in and attacked.

"It's not easy to put a battalion in front of you, and once the enemy breaks through our defenses, you want to counterattack."

Company Commander Cai had scruples, but there was no other way, he was worried that his soldiers might not be able to withstand the frantic attack of a battalion of the enemy.

Xia Yuan sighed and said, "In the current situation, we have no other choice. ”

Instructor Shao asked, "What if we continue with the previous method?" ”

Xia Yuan shook his head: "We don't have enough grenades and grenades to support a protracted battle, the enemy's offensive will only be more ferocious in waves, and we have no other way." ”

Instructor Shao was suddenly a little anxious: "This is not good, that is not good, how to fight this battle?" ”

Xia Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Instructor, don't be in a hurry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

Instructor Shao said: "That is to say, but the enemy has already come, and the aftermath of the battle just now will not trap the enemy for long, whether it is to leave a small force on the position, or to go up a company, under the absolute suppression of firepower, we will not get the slightest advantage." ”

Sighing, he shrank back: "The main thing is that the US army we are facing is too strong, how can a company block the attack of a division." ”

Everyone was silent, a company had more than 100 people, and an American division had to have 20,000 or 30,000 people, and such a gap in strength could not be made up by tactics, and once the enemy figured out the situation on the position, the two battalions would be able to take down their position, and when the time came, the enemy's tanks would still be unimpeded.

"The highway is the first line of defense, we are the second line of defense, and the City God's Hall is the third line of defense. Once the U.S. forces move north to occupy Chenghuangtang, the U.S. forces will continue northward, fortifying along the way to Zhiam-ri and Toheong-ri. ”

Xia Yuan drew an arc on the ground, and then said, "In the end, this force of American troops will completely block all the retreats of the 180th Division." ”
