They ran forward in a panic, there were stones and trees everywhere, the infantry was fine, the movement of the tanks was seriously blocked, and there was a deep ditch in front of them that blocked the way for the tanks to advance, the ditch was very deep, and the tanks fell into it, and basically could not get out.

This is an anti-tank trench specifically against tanks.

When the platoon commander saw the enemy tanks stop, he knew it was time for them to perform.

"Fire!!"

There were not too many inspiring words, just a simple sentence of cannonball, six mortars fired two salvos, landed in the tank convoy of the US army, and exploded with a bang, the bombed infantry fled, and the bombed tanks could not move.

Gunpowder smoke covered the battlefield, and the hazy raindrops could not be suppressed.

The comrades of the artillery platoon appeared again carrying bazooka and recoilless guns, their main task was to destroy the tanks of the enemy's vanguard, this was their show time, one by one the shells dragged out of an arc roared and fell into the stopped tank convoy, and with a boom explosion, the enemy's tank was completely scrapped, the tracks were blown off, the fuel tank was also detonated, and the billowing black smoke rose and spread to the sky.

The U.S. soldiers who followed were completely out of formation, holding their heads and shooting indiscriminately, and they were already in a mess.

The American soldier with the walkie-talkie on his back panicked and found a rock, crouched on the ground, trying to communicate with the rear, and roared the artillery to support them, even though he knew that it would take time for the artillery to deploy.

Sou!

I don't know where there was a bullet breaking through the air, and the clanging hit through the steel helmet on top of the head, and the head tilted, and the steel helmet fell to the ground with a clatter, and the blood flowed down the hair of the head to the cheeks, and a little raindrop also fell on the face.

As soon as the gunshots rang out on Xia Yuan's side, Chen Lie also began to exert his shooting ability, aiming at the enemy in the distance, pulling the trigger frequently, and the bullets flew down from the mountain, poofing into the body of the American soldier.

"Okay, nice fight!"

The big guys were all holding submachine guns, and the range was limited, so they could only watch from a distance, and when they saw Xia Yuan and Chen Lie shooting the foreign devils, they shouted happily.

The enemy's vanguard was not vegetarian, and the heavy machine guns and self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery vehicles on the tanks frantically tilted bullets towards the mountain, but they did not even see the Chinese who attacked them, and fired indiscriminately into the mountain.

A bullet slammed, smashed in front of Ma Da Man, the power was comparable to a grenade, a dull explosion sounded, the explosion of the dirt splashed Lao Gao, fell on him, Ma Da shook his head and lay in the trench, scolding: "Do foreign devils have an opinion on me, don't beat you, almost beat me." ”

"Then I have an opinion about you, this is wanting your life." Lao Yang was talking cool on the side.

"Grandma's, let them come up and see if I don't kill them!" Ma Da's temper suddenly came up, holding a submachine gun and eager to try.

This group of enemies was beaten miserably, and they couldn't organize an effective attack at all, even if there was a foreign devil squad leader who couldn't stand it just now, and wanted to organize his own soldiers to attack the mountain, he stabilized a few people, and a bullet sent him to see God, and a few American soldiers who had just stabilized immediately panicked again, and pulled the trigger to the top of the mountain indiscriminately, and the ghost knew where the bullet flew.

Xia Yuan's plan was successful, the wreckage of the five tanks was billowing black smoke, the tracks were blown off by the artillery platoon, and even the tank's fuel tank was opened together, turning into a pile of scrap metal across the road, the gap between them was not enough for a tank to move, and there were anti-tank trenches in front, so the American army thought about turning around and escaping.

The Chinese fire on the mountain was not strong, but the marksmanship was surprisingly accurate, and when the gun rang out, there was always a soldier who was bullet through the body, and the American lieutenant realized that it was the Chinese sharpshooter who fired the shot.

"Call for reinforcements, call for reinforcements."

Seeing that the number of soldiers around him was getting smaller and smaller, the second lieutenant company commander of the US army panicked, grabbed the corpse of the soldier with the walkie-talkie on his back and pulled it to the back of the tank, and a bullet clanged on the tank next to him, so startled that he quickly curled up and did not dare to show his head.

After taking a breath, he took the walkie-talkie and began to communicate with the rear.

"Hold on, our artillery is unfolding, and you need to hold out for five minutes."

"Yes! Sir! ”

The second lieutenant company commander fixed his mind, quietly hid behind the tank, did not stick his head out when killed, and stretched out is to find death, but there were Chinese marksmen staring on the high ground, and he looked at the soldiers who returned fire, and they all struggled to stretch out their hands, instead of sticking their heads out.

They all saw that the Chinese who shot on the mountain had good marksmanship.

The second lieutenant company commander called again on the walkie-talkie: "The Chinese have snipers, and their marksmanship is very good, and we will also send snipers over." ”

The voice was interrupted, and the second lieutenant company commander cursed and slammed the walkie-talkie to the ground.

There was a boom from the side, there was a violent explosion, dirt and gravel everywhere, straightened the steel helmet, looked in the direction of the explosion, a tank was blown up in front of him, he turned his head to look at his ass again, and the sound of explosions was also heard, and the sound of mortar shells falling from the sky was not small, cutting off their retreat.

A bad feeling rose in his heart.

"Damn, this group of Chinese shouldn't want to wipe us out here!"

On the mountain, Xia Yuan looked at the American soldiers who were hiding, put away his gun, and shouted: "Ready, hide in the bomb crater." ”

Everyone brought everything with them and drilled into the cat's ear hole, the cat's ear hole is to open a hole on the side of the trench, people can hide in it, this hole is quite hard, the space is not very large, only able to accommodate one person, after all, time is limited, they can't dig the cat's ear hole very large.

Sure enough, as soon as everyone got into the cat's ear hole, there was a unique sound of a grenade cutting through the sky above their heads, which was more harsh, and landed on the position, and in an instant, the air wave rolled, the roar spread, everyone's ears buzzed, and the hole was covered with rubble rolled by the spreading air wave.

Xia Yuan buried himself in the deepest part of the hole, and the gravel rushed into the cat's ear hole, crackling and falling on his body, but fortunately, the cotton clothes were thick enough, and it didn't hurt very much.

The howitzers of the American army constantly fired at the high ground in the distance, completely covering the entire high ground, and the places that were not positions were also turned over by enemy shells, and there were broken trees and branches everywhere, which was messy and chaotic.

Being in the center of the position, it was more like staying in a drum, the rumbling sound was too loud, and the big guy tried his best to open his mouth wide and lie down in the cat's ear hole in a kneeling position, so as to prevent the violent vibration caused by the explosion from shattering the internal organs of the person.

There are many soldiers who go to the battlefield for the first time, and the inexperienced soldiers habitually lie on the ground, so that their bodies are close to the ground, and after a round of shelling, they can still stand up and talk to other fighters, fight, and when the battle is over, the soldiers who have just fought with them will fall to the ground with their heads tilted.

Some didn't get up directly.

At the end of each battle, the corpse collection team went to collect the corpses of the soldiers, and they could always see the corpses of some soldiers who had no wounds on their bodies, but were already dead. At that time, they were relatively ignorant, and everyone didn't understand why this happened, so they thought they were scared to death.

In fact, during the shelling, the internal organs were shattered, and naturally there was no injury from the outside. Some veterans also understand why after going through wars one after another, but they don't understand the principle.

By this period, a lot of knowledge had been popularized in the army, the quality of individual soldiers had begun to improve, and combat knowledge had to be introduced into all platoons and squads, especially when new recruits joined the company, and there was even one-on-one teaching by veterans.

The best way to avoid the ground vibration caused by shelling is to keep your chest against the ground. In the battle of Shangganling, there was the best manifestation of this, there were many wounded lying on the ground, and after a round of enemy shelling, they never woke up.

After a round of enemy shelling, Xia Yuan pushed away the dirt piled up at the mouth of the cat's ear hole and drilled it out, and there was no figure in sight on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke.

"Instructor, Lao Yang, Lao Chen, Lao Ma"

A bad feeling rose in his heart, and he rushed to the buried cat's ear hole with his gun, and struggled to peel off the dirt in the trench, revealing a pitch-black hole, and he could vaguely see a person inside.

That's the person he is familiar with, Lu Guangnan, the leader of the cooking class, Lao Lu followed him all the way, and in the later position blocking battle, even the cooking class went to work, but he was the only one left who died in the cooking class, and later in the night operation, Lu Guangnan's only pot was also thrown, which seriously hindered the action.

"Old Lou, old Lou."

Xia Yuan opened the cat's ear hole, dragged Lu Guangnan out, grabbed his wrist, touched his neck again, felt that the other party's neck was still beating, and immediately began to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.

"Company commander."

After a few presses, Lu Guangnan woke up.

"You're okay, I thought you were sacrificing." Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, dragged him up, his eyes fell on the distance, and immediately shouted: "The enemy is coming!" ”

He looked at the position, and other people also got out of the cat's ear hole, the cat's ear hole was dug very deep, the enemy's shells fell nearby, and the cat's ear hole could not be blown up, only the trench could only be buried almost, but it could not withstand such a ferocious bombardment of the enemy, especially the 105 mm howitzer, under the continuous shelling, the cat's ear hole could not last long, and many of them collapsed and were dug out by others.

A squad of fighters, no less than one.

"The enemy is coming up, ready to fight."

"Company commander, the machine gun is buried." Liu Tiezhu was still kneeling on the ground and digging hard, anxious.

"Little man Wang, help him, let's hold it for a while, don't worry."

Xia Yuan shouted, turned around and ran into the distance, the enemy scattered into a straggler line, surrounding the high ground, there was enough strength of a battalion, and the offensive was not much weaker than the previous one.

The smoke of gunfire was everywhere, and it still couldn't hide the US troops in the distance.

Sun Changgui followed behind Xia Yuan, and saw from a distance that there were two people in the US army team carrying things on their backs, with two threads wrapped around their shoulders, and rushed up the mountain with the attacking US troops, holding a strange weapon in his hand.

Sun Changgui was taken aback and shouted to Xia Yuan: "Company commander, is the Yankee the same as the little devil in the past this time, who wants to poison us with poison gas?" ”

Xia Yuan jumped into an unburied trench and put his gun on the mound, "No, they don't have gas masks on them, that thing is a flamethrower." ”

This is the first time he has seen this thing, when he was in Shangganling, he specially picked this guy to fight, no way, this thing is too powerful to deal with the tunnel, and the positional battle is not much worse. A flamethrower, also known as a flamethrower, can be easily divided into four parts: the oil tank, the compressed air source, the ignition device and the sprinkler head. His attack is as simple and brutal as his name, and the soldier usually holds the gun in one hand and pulls the trigger with the other, and the gun can instantly erupt a flaming dragon tens of meters long.

The results of its attack were terrifying, and the human body could only watch as the fire grew larger and larger until it was burned to ashes.

The principle of a flamethrower is similar to that of a water spray gun, once the ignition device is activated, the high-pressure gas in the gas tank will eject the burning liquid from the tank at a very high speed. You must know that the oil tank is not only filled with extremely flammable fuel, but also added a large amount of thickener, which makes the flame adhesion effect very good.

The viscous fuel can reach a high temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius when ignited, and the flames can burn wherever they are sprayed, and the burned soldiers cannot extinguish the flames even if they roll on the ground. Moreover, the flame will consume a large amount of oxygen around the flame in the process of burning, and release highly toxic smoke, which will have a strong irritation to the soldier's respiratory tract and lungs until the soldier suffocates to death.

This thing has an alias, called the devil's happy gun, and when it comes to this thing, the little devil can always roll on the ground happily.

The Yankees used this thing to burn a lot of the little devil's infantry. During the period of the Far Eastern Army, the United States also had this thing in the weapons and equipment used to support the Far Eastern Army, which helped the Far Eastern Army eliminate many Japanese devils, but they did not know the incompetence of the Allies and regarded the expeditionary force as a retreating force.

"Spitfire, and this thing."

Sun Changgui had never seen such a strange weapon, looking at the thing behind the foreign devil, he couldn't help but grin, "Company commander, I'll kill him." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a whoosh, and a few bullets flew over his head, startling Sun Changgui to lie down in the trench.

"Be careful, the foreign devils have found you."

There are not many fighters left on the position, and a squad is scattered on the position, fighting separately, but it can reinforce each other, so that it is not easy to be eliminated by a single shell of the enemy, and at the same time, it can still form a very terrifying firepower network when dispersed, and it is very effective to deal with this kind of group charge of the US army.

The bullet flew over their heads, and Sun Changgui scolded: "Company commander, bring them closer, I broke them through." ”

"Phew!"

Suddenly, a strange sound sounded, and a long flame flew in front of the trench, and a raging fire immediately ignited around it.

An American soldier carrying a flamethrower took up a vantage point and tried to suppress the volunteers in the trenches.
