The new commander of the 24th Division of the United States estimated that the strength of the Chinese would not exceed one company, because the 180th Division had been surrounded by them, and the pseudo-6th Division was on their flank, and the 180th Division could be said to be a piece of beef under their knife and fork.

Even if a force is sent, how big can it be.

But it was this small volunteer army that stopped them by force, and Ju Xin, the commander of the 24th US Division, who was embarrassed and angry, gave it a go and directly sent a regiment-level combat team of American troops to launch the most fierce offensive on the high ground under the cover of a large number of heavy weapons.

The shortcomings of the position were thoroughly exposed this time.

The Battle of Shangganling was limited by the size of the position, and the US army could not carry out an attack on the scale of a battalion or above on the position, and at the end it could only attack with the strength of a battalion, while the Volunteer Army adopted the tactics of adding fuel to deal with the attack of the US army.

As a result, although the battle was difficult, the volunteers won a great victory.

The current position is different from Shangganling, the position area is large, which is convenient for the US army to deploy, and a battalion can form a long line of skirmishers, so a regimental-level combat team is completely useless, and once an offensive of this scale is formed, the war situation will show a one-sided trend.

"I didn't expect to push the enemy into a hurry."

After meeting with Company Commander Cai, Xia Yuan smiled bitterly for a while, forcing the US army to be really crazy, I don't know if the commander of the 24th Division of the United States gave this order, and his soldiers would feel something.

"It's urgent, Company Commander Xia, you go down to rest and rest, the next battle will be handed over to our Seventh Company, we will definitely withstand the pressure and hold the position."

"The more this time, the more we can't go down to rest, we have sacrificed a lot of people on the position, they are sacrificed now, we go down to rest, this is not good."

Xia Yuan immediately rejected Company Commander Cai's suggestion and let him rest in the rear, and the Seventh Company died on the front line, which he couldn't do.

The enemy's attack was menacing, and as soon as the soldiers of the first and second platoons of the Seventh Company entered the position, the scouts observing the front came with the news that the enemy had begun to attack from the east, south, and west, and that there was a battalion of troops in each direction, and due west, the US army sent a large number of tanks and armored vehicles to press over.

There is no doubt that with an offensive of this magnitude, the attitude of the US military towards this war is absolutely desperate.

And the soldiers of the Seventh Company, when Xia Yuan led the First Company, had already set an example for them, and when Company Commander Cai was mobilized, he shouted the slogan of 'stepping on our corpses', and the enthusiasm of the soldiers was very high, and the fighting mood was also very high.

In particular, the shooting team on the hill presented the battle situation on the front line, and the soldiers of the company chose to die with the enemy in order to hold their positions, and there were no unmoved soldiers.

After entering the position, the fighters of each platoon and squad quickly organized, rushed to dig trenches, built fire bunkers, and transported ammunition.

The cans that had been delivered earlier were also delivered to the fighters.

It feels like the last meal, but the soldiers were not affected at all, but united as one, you take a bite, I take a bite, and eat a bowl of rice together, which is also in the follow-up battle, in the face of huge casualties, the soldiers are not only afraid of being beaten, but more and more courageous.

The enemy's offensive is fierce, and there will always be fighters who rush towards the enemy group with blasters, shouting 'Long live New China' in their mouths, choosing to defend New China and die with the enemy.

The enemy's offensive was extremely fierce, but the soldiers of the seventh company also fought extremely fiercely, especially the battle on the opposite high ground was particularly fierce, a platoon attracted a large number of American troops, and withstood three waves of the enemy's ferocious attacks in a row, and repelled the enemy's three waves of attacks.

The commander of the second platoon, who was seriously wounded, rushed to the enemy group with an explosive bag with an explosive bag when one arm was blown off, and died with the enemy.

The deputy platoon commander of the second platoon took over the post of the second platoon commander, held the line of fire, did not retreat even after being wounded, and carried out the spirit of resolutely fighting the enemy until the last drop of blood was drained.

The second platoon repelled three waves of enemy attacks, suffered huge casualties, and the remaining fighters were less than a squad.

After a particularly heavy round of artillery fire, the fourth wave of enemy attack arrived, and tanks, armored vehicles, recoilless guns, flamethrowers, heavy machine guns, and all kinds of heavy firepower were moved to the battlefield by the American army. Knowing that they were dying, they chose to face the enemy and live and die with their positions.

They repelled four waves of ferocious enemy attacks, blew up more than 10 enemy tanks and 3 armored vehicles, and eliminated more than 300 enemies.

The situation on the frontal battlefield was even more intense, Tan Zhanbiao was seriously wounded, but he still did not choose to get out of the line of fire, determined to fight the enemy to the death.

The enemy's attack was fierce, and he had already entered the forward position, leaving only one arm left, and Tan Zhanbiao, who was wrapped around his head with a bandage, stuffed a letter in his arms into Wang Xiaoliang's arms: "If you live, bring it home for me." ”

Looking at his comrades-in-arms beside him, his eyes carried a hint of nostalgia. Looking at the enemy, his eyes flashed with coldness and determination, Tan Zhanbiao grabbed the explosive bag with one hand, bit off the lead with his teeth, and the explosive bag in his arms emitted a cloud of white smoke.

Rumble!

The black dirt bloomed into brilliant flowers in the enemy group, gradually withering.

Wang Xiaoliang grabbed the letter hard, with tears in his eyes: "Squad leader!" ”

Such a feat infected countless fighters, who left a grenade for themselves, and when the enemy rushed to the position, they chose to die with the enemy.

After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the enemy's most ferocious attack was repulsed, and Company Commander Cai stood up from his position and looked around.

Just one battle took the lives of more than half of the soldiers, and this kind of battle was the first time that Company Commander Cai had experienced it.

The enemy's firepower is beyond imagination, and it is far from being comparable to that of the Japanese devils and reactionaries.

Tan Zhanbiao sacrificed, there were only a few people left in the company, Lao Yang found one of Tan Zhanbiao's shoes and buried it in the soil, which is something that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Wang Xiaoliang was a little choked, and after entering the first row, he followed Tan Zhanbiao, all the way to the present, but he didn't expect them to be separated by yin and yang so soon.

Liu Tiezhu patted him on the shoulder and said, "The battle is not over yet, the squad leader doesn't want to see you crying, like a woman, what's the matter, we have to avenge the squad leader." ”

Wang Xiaoliang wiped away his tears, took out a bunch of red peppers from behind him, picked one and buried it in the soil: "Squad leader, try the red peppers from our hometown, it's delicious." ”

Xia Yuan looked at this scene, retracted his gaze, and found Company Commander Cai, Company Commander Cai and Instructor Pang were counting the wounded, seeing Xia Yuan, Company Commander Cai sat on the ground a little depressed, and said: "Twenty-three people were killed or wounded, and a platoon was scrapped." ”

Instructor Pang grabbed the glorious bar in his hand, "The vast majority of soldiers have made the choice to die with the enemy, and there are very few glorious bars found, and most of them were disappeared in the explosion." ”

Xia Yuan touched his pocket, the bulging glory strip, he was the most able to understand the mood of the two. The glory bar was given to him by the instructor, and there is also his own honor bar here, perhaps he has long thought of such a day and is ready to sacrifice.

"Company Commander Cai, Instructor Pang."

"Company Commander Xia."

The two of them cleaned up their mood and got up to greet them.

"These are the guns I removed from the American devil sniper, this thing can be like a telescope, you can see far away from the gun, improve the shooting accuracy of the sharpshooter, you bring it to them."

The enemy was fierce before, and I didn't remember to give it to them.

"These are good things." Company Commander Cai pondered it in his hand, and put it on his glasses, as if he had discovered a new continent, and immediately felt that the value of this thing was not simple, so far away it could be seen clearly, if it was mounted on a gun, it could hit a target far away.

Just like Xia Yuan said, it can improve the accuracy of the shooter.

After chatting with Company Commander Cai for a while, Xia Yuan said goodbye: "The enemy has suffered such a big loss, and he will not give up, there was a position on the opposite side to contain part of the enemy's troops, but the enemy's strength is endless, and the next offensive will not be too weak." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yuan's scalp suddenly became numb, and everyone seemed to notice something, and raised their heads to look at the sky.

Gunpowder smoke covered the sky, raindrops fell one after another, and black cannonballs streaked across the sky in a long arc.

A new round of offensive begins.

"Dodge!"

Xia Yuan's pupils shrank, he shouted, grabbed the soldiers on the side and pressed them into the trench.

On the battlefield, the soldiers who were still cleaning up the battlefield panicked to dodge around.

Enemy artillery fire came too quickly.

The successive battles depleted the soldiers' ammunition dramatically, and they had to risk being bombed by the enemy to collect the ammunition on their positions.

The rain is getting heavier.

After the artillery fire, the soldiers came out of the dirt, straightened their hats, and shouted familiar names.

If no one responds, they may have been killed in this round of fire.

Liu Tiezhu threw his hat on the ground and scolded: "Special code, I finally captured a lot of heavy machine guns, but before I could use them, they were blown up by the cannon of foreign devils, these dogs, if I come up again, Lao Tzu will definitely kill them." ”

He took out grenades from his bosom and placed them in front of him, the heavy machine gun was blown off, the barrel was bent, and it was obviously unusable.

As a machine gunner, without a machine gun, how can you fight.

Wang Xiaoliang was sitting in the trench on the side, eating the chili pepper in his hand, looking a little sluggish, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xia Yuan arrived and slapped them: "Hurry up, the enemy is coming up, ready to fight!" ”

The position of the first company was on a small hill on the left side, and the depression in front was a difficult terrain to defend and difficult to attack, but after being covered by rounds of enemy artillery fire, the depression in front also became potholes.

A new round of the enemy's attack has arrived, this round of attack is far more tragic than before, the previous battle has exhausted the ammunition on the vast majority of volunteer soldiers, how much ammunition can be touched from the foreign devils? In continuous battles, the ammunition on the foreign devil's body is also consumed, and only a few people have touched the ammunition, and the number of grenades is even less.

Xia Yuan touched the bullets in the bullet bag, there were only six magazines left, the enemy was menacing, and as soon as he came up, the heavy machine gun tore open the rain curtain, and the muzzle of the tank appeared in black on the position.

The Seventh Company sent a combat group of fighters to blast the enemy tank, and before they could get to the front, a string of red bullets came from the rear, and the sound of da-

Xia Yuan looked at it, felt his scalp tingle, and the self-propelled artillery armored vehicles followed behind with great force, and the red bullets swept across, making a huge roar, and a string of bullets fell on the position beside them, and there was a big crater, which was as powerful as a grenade.

Anti-aircraft guns fired flat, which can cause great damage to infantry.

The battle was destined to be tragic.

The armored vehicles and tanks formed an interactive fire network, and the turret fired shells one after another, easily tearing through the firing points of the seventh company, leaving a huge deep pit.

Company Commander Cai frowned and ordered, "Send someone to go again!" ”

The enemy's tanks had already pressed up, and the closer the distance, the greater the chance of carrying out the explosion, and two groups of fighters, under the cover of the fighters behind them, rushed towards the enemy tanks, and there was no way to retreat, only to meet the enemy's dense bullets, charging forward.

The machine gun on the tank swept over, four of the six fighters fell, and the other two fighters jumped into the crater to dodge, and before they could continue to attack, a tank battery on the other side turned, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at this side, and with a boom, the smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and the dirt fell one after another, and in the black dirt, a huge figure roared over the six soldiers.

It's too arrogant.

A soldier whose body had been blown off had not yet been sacrificed, his face was covered in blood, and blood was constantly spitting out from his mouth, he held his breath and pulled off the explosive bag in his arms, revealing a mouthful of teeth mixed with blood and mud, and his eyes slowly closed.

Boom.

In an instant, the earth shook.

The frontal battlefield was fierce, and the battle on Xia Yuan's side was even more tragic, three armored vehicles, two tanks, and about a battalion of infantry were scattered on the position, attacking wildly towards their position, the smoke of gunpowder drifted away, and the ammunition ran out.

The enemy has rushed to him.

Xia Yuan took the lead, rushing towards the enemy group with a bayonet, without the momentum of opening and closing, nor the bells and whistles, just a simple stride and stab, drawing out the bayonet, the action was sharp and fast, and he did not drag the mud and water.

"Squad leader, I've avenged you!"

Wang Xiaoliang had no experience in fighting bayonets, and was surrounded by several foreign devils, he killed one with a bayonet, but was surrounded by several other tall foreign devils, who rushed over from all directions and plunged the bayonet into Wang Xiaoliang's body.

At the last moment of his life, he pulled the grenade prepared in advance on his body, and there was a loud bang.

Dirt flew and cannons crackled into the enemy's body.

From an ordinary soldier who just entered the army to a great and glorious volunteer army, he has completed his transformation, but he has also paid a heavy price.

If he is given another chance, Wang Xiaoliang will still unswervingly devote himself to the great and glorious task of defending the motherland.
