Chapter 20: Accurate Marksman
Seventeen o'clock sharp.
The trumpeter stood on the north side of the ridge and sounded the loud trumpet of the charge.
There were no deafening screams.
The soldiers stood up from the snow, shook off the snowflakes on their bodies, stepped on the unknown depth of the snow, and rushed towards Yunshan.
The crunching footsteps, the crashing of instruments, the heavy breathing of the fighters, were all intertwined.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The enemy was none other than the 1st South Korean Division, which was besieged at Unsan.
The stick soldier standing on the tower found that he heard the loud trumpet of the charge, and his whole body was excited, and he saw a shaking figure in the silver-white snow.
I didn't have time to count how many troops there were, so I shouted and rushed down.
The front-row charged fighters quickly reached the enemy's first line of defense, pulled up their rifles and fired behind cover, while the machine gunners looked for high points and set up machine gun fire to suppress the enemy. The fighters in charge of blowing up the bunker moved quickly, and before the enemy could react, they had just grabbed the machine gun, and a thick black blasting barrel pestle entered the machine gun hole.
There was a loud bang, resounding through the clouds and mountains.
It also kicked off the prelude to the Battle of Yunshan.
The first line of defense was vulnerable and was quickly captured by the Volunteers.
The enemy in the rear had time to breathe, and the shells, mixed with snowflakes, fell densely among the mountains.
The earthquake trembled and shook, and there was a deafening roar in my ears that echoed between the valleys.
Unable to hear the other fighters, they only see the various battle groups, using gestures to transmit battle messages to each other.
Each remembers their own slogan, position, order, all kinds of large signals, medium signals, and small signals, and the lines are not messy.
The volunteer troops scattered between the mountains and fields look chaotic, but in fact, if you look closely, they are in groups, gathering, getting closer, cooperating, leaping forward, and advancing in an orderly manner.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the valley, and the sound of artillery fire mingled overhead.
From time to time, a bright color flashed, reflecting half of the valley, and it was overwhelming.
"Mom!"
This scene frightened the soldiers of the 1st Korean Division who were holding on to Unsan.
The mountains are full of enemies, and there are too many to count.
I can't count them.
"Flares! Flares! ”
Shout!
On the enemy's position, a flare rose into the air, reflecting the clouds and mountains like a piece of day.
Previously, with the help of flickering artillery fire, I didn't really see the attacking volunteer soldiers.
As soon as the flares were lifted into the air, the soldiers of the 1st North Korean Division, who were in charge of holding the front line, felt the unprecedented cold as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they felt the unprecedented cold, which penetrated deep into their bone marrow.
"Fire! Idiot! ”
The puppet commander was stunned for a moment, but the machine gunner was dumbfounded, and he slapped it in the face.
The flames from the machine-gun bunker formed a long chain of fire, like a long whip, and slammed into the crushing crowd between the valleys.
"Quick, keep up!"
Company Commander Sun led the three companies to attack the high ground in front of him.
On the heights there were large enemy positions, as well as machine-gun fire points, and long chains of fire blocked the path of the fighters' attack.
A company had already risen to the top, and the fighters in charge of the demolition charged the enemy's machine-gun bunker like a desperate charge.
But it was quickly overwhelmed by the enemy's powerful firepower.
Unlike the domestic liberation war, the enemy's firepower was extremely ferocious, especially the machine-gun fire points, several machine-gun pillboxes, and the formation of crossfire, from the ridge and halfway up the mountain, the tongue of fire like a long whip, thrown down the mountain.
The soldiers couldn't lift their heads.
The fighters in charge of the blasting were also pressed down the mountainside and rushed several times, but failed to rush up.
From the ridge, shells made a sharp hiss, whistling down and slamming down on the attacking volunteers at the foot of the mountain.
There were bullets and cannonballs whistling everywhere, and the sound echoed from valley to valley, and it was impossible to hear anyone else.
Xiao Heping was completely stunned, lying on the ground and not daring to move.
Elder Liu dragged him: "Don't lie on your stomach, get up." ”
Xiao Heping was lying on his stomach, he couldn't hear the voice of the elder Liu, the cannonball completely stunned him, and all the arrogant words before entering the court disappeared at this moment.
"Something that has no interest, look at Xia Yuan, who looks like you." The elder Liu hated that iron could not become steel, but it was also true that Xiao Heping had not been in the army for a long time, and in the first battle of the Liberation War, the enemy's resistance was weak, and at that time it was already a huge victory for the liberation of the whole country.
In the current war, compared to the previous one, the previous one seems to be a small fight.
"Then you lie on your stomach here, don't go anywhere." Elder Liu got up and found Xia Yuan: "How is it, I'm afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid." Xia Yuan was lying on an anticline and grinned: "Translator Zhao is hiding in the back, squad leader, I want to go to the front line." ”
"You go fart, stay here, and go back when you win." Elder Liu scolded, turned his head to look behind him, and under the flickering artillery fire, he could see that Zhao Yi and Zhou Mao were staying together.
"Let's go cook." Elder Liu estimated the time, after this battle, the soldiers had to replenish their physical strength.
Xia Yuan glanced at the attacking high ground with distress, several machine gun bunkers were spraying machine gun fire chains, and the bullets were spitting so hard that the soldiers couldn't raise their heads at all.
After thinking about it, Xia Yuan said firmly: "Squad leader, if you let me go up, I can knock out those machine gun bunkers." ”
"You kid, don't brag, come back and cook with me."
Elder Liu didn't believe it at all, the experienced soldiers couldn't knock down the bunker, and you can knock the bunker down if you go up as a recruit.
Fool it.
"Squad leader, what I said is true, you take me, touch the front, let's try." Xia Yuan's tone was firm and could not be doubted.
Elder Liu hesitated, looking at him not like he was lying, "Really? ”
Xia Yuan nodded: "Really, I can shoot accurately." ”
"Okay, then I'll believe you once, if you can't beat it, go back to cooking, and don't think about going to the front line in the future."
Elder Liu thought for a while, and touched a distance ahead, which was nothing.
took Xia Yuan and ran forward along the foot of the mountain.
Approaching the front line, they were lying behind a rock, risking half of their heads, and the elder Liu stared: "Grandma's, the American devil's firepower is so fierce, and it has not been beaten down for so long." ”
He turned his head to stare at Xia Yuan, but saw that Xia Yuan didn't say a word, pulled the bolt and put a bullet in the magazine, half-squatting posture, three points and one line, aiming at a machine gun hole three or four hundred meters away from him.
"So far, can you hit it?"
Elder Liu was deeply suspicious of Xia Yuan's marksmanship.
He poked his head out and estimated the distance, which was more than 400 meters, and the hole in the machine gun hole was very small and very subtle, and from a distance, the muzzle of the enemy's machine gun fire completely covered the machine gun hole, which increased the difficulty of shooting.
Xia Yuan was still a recruit, and he had only been in the army for a long time, and he didn't have the opportunity to shoot targets with live ammunition, so he entered the DPRK to fight.
Only when I touched the gun, I was quite skilled, and it didn't look like the first time I touched the gun.
But looking at Xia Yuan's firm eyes, there was a little more expectation in the eyes of the elder Liu.
He remembered that when he first dropped the bomb, this kid just gave himself such a big surprise.
Xia Yuan aimed at the enemy's machine gun hole, calculated the wind speed, distance, and the range of the Type 38 rifle, tilted the muzzle, raised slightly, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The gun went off.
Elder Liu was startled and hurriedly looked ahead.
Da-da-da-da! The machine gun hole rang non-stop, and suddenly it was dark and there was no movement.
As soon as the fighters in charge of the attack saw that there was a good opportunity, several fighters rushed up, accompanied by a huge roar, the mountain trembled loudly, and the machine-gun bunker turned into ashes in a huge explosion.
The commander of the first company in charge of the main attack raised his head and saw that a machine-gun bunker suddenly went blind, and then it was blown up by the fighters of the demolition team, and laughed: "Beautiful! Pull out one nail and the rest will be pulled. ”
The political commissar smiled and said: "Which comrade hit it, it was really good, and it was blind with one shot." ”
The commander of the first company was happy: "When the battle is over, go and ask." ”
Rear.
Elder Liu was dumbfounded, with a dumbfounded posture: "That's what you hit?" ”
He didn't believe that this kid really blinded the enemy's machine gun bunker, but this scene was right in front of him, Xia boy shot, and the enemy's machine gun bunker was blinded.
Did other fighters fight? How could there be such a coincidence, there was no movement before, but when Xia Boy fired, the machine gun bunker was knocked out.
"Squad leader, what's going on?" Xia Yuan put away the gun and asked with a smile.
"Zhente Niang's beauty, can you continue?" Elder Liu suddenly felt that he seemed to have obtained something extraordinary.
"Yes, there are still a few machine gun bunkers that have not been knocked out, and if these machine gun bunkers are knocked out, the American devils will not be able to hold them."
Xia Yuan carried the gun and straddled behind him: "But this distance is not good, touch it further." ”
At a distance of three or four hundred meters, the lethality of the Type 38 rifle is already limited.
It's best to move forward and kill its foreign devils, which is more handy.
"Let's go."
This time, the eldest elder Liu no longer stopped Xia Yuan.
When I touched it forward, my heart beat violently, and at a distance of 400 meters, I could knock out the machine gun hole of the American devil, and if it was a veteran, it might be a little convincing, but this was a new soldier, and I didn't even go through a few live fire shots.
But it really did.
It's unbelievable.
Elder Liu realized that this was a good opportunity for the three companies to fight for merit, and immediately ran forward with Xia Yuan, and when he broke through the enemy's barrage, he said: "Crawl forward, be careful with the bullets, don't be bitten, if you are bitten, you will suffer next." ”
"Follow me."
Elder Liu took Xia Yuan to touch forward for a while, found a crater where the enemy's shell fell, and pulled Xia Yuan to hide in the crater.
"What's this location like?"
"Yes."
Xia Yuan put the gun and said with a smile: "Squad leader, you can look at me next." ”
The mountain road is difficult to walk, covered with snow, and everywhere there are traces of the warriors' activities.
This high ground is the unnamed high ground on the side of Yunshan, and it is the position of the first battalion to attack. The enemy's strength on the high ground was about the size of two companies, a large number of machine-gun fire points were set up, and the mountain was steep, which was actually easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Coupled with the snow cover, it made it more difficult for the fighters to attack.
The commander of the first battalion estimated the time to take the enemy's high ground, and estimated it until late at night.
At this moment, the offensive momentum suddenly ushered in a reversal.
The commander of the first company in charge of storming the enemy's machine-gun bunker suddenly discovered that the enemy's machine-gun bunker was blind one after another, which brought great convenience to the comrades in charge of blasting, and the intermittent blind fire made it even more convenient for the soldiers to attack.
It was evident that the fighters were being suppressed by enemy machine-gun fire for a shorter and shorter time, and the three fighters in charge of the demolition once again touched the enemy's machine-gun fire bunker.
One of the fighters visibly felt a burst of bullets coming from a great distance, swooping into the enemy's machine-gun firing hole.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, his face showed great joy, he rushed to the side of the machine gun bunker in three or two steps with the explosive bag, pulled the explosive bag, leaned against the machine gun bunker, and the whole person rolled down the hill, and with a roar, the enemy machine gun bunker was pulled out by the soldiers again.
In just ten minutes, two of the enemy's machine-gun bunkers were broken in succession, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly increased, and the enemy's forward positions had been breached.
Seeing this, some stick soldiers hurriedly held their guns in both hands and squatted in the trenches, looking at a loss.
The commander of a company stepped into the enemy's forward positions, laughed loudly, and ordered the fighters to continue to rush forward.
On the flanks, the second company had already made a detour to the enemy's second line of defense, and the battle was about to break out.
In the rear, the eldest elder Liu didn't know Xia Yuan very well, and handed him the bullets on his body: "You kid, the gun is so accurate, the enemy's machine gun bunker can be destroyed." ”
Xia Yuan put away the bullet and said with a smile: "Squad leader, we are very good at fighting." ”
"Don't be complacent, you have to be careful if you fight a good war, the enemy's bullets don't have eyes." Elder Liu glared at him.
"Squad leader, I want to change my gun." Xia Yuan hugged the thirty-eight book and said.
"What guns?" Elder Liu asked differently.
"The guns of foreign devils can fire continuously." Xia Yuan's Garand rifle.
Garland was the gun he used the most, and the best gun he used of all.
Eight bullets fired in a row, it is more advantageous to destroy the enemy.
The most critical point is that their Wanguo brand is relatively difficult to replenish ammunition in the Korean battlefield, but the Garand rifle can find two or three hundred rounds of ammunition as long as it fights.
The American devils are rich, and the number of magazines carried by individual soldiers is very large.
More than the Japanese devils.
The Japanese Devil Type 38 rifle carries 120 rounds of ammunition, and the American Devil's Garand rifle can carry more than 200 ammunition.
Semi-automatic launch, capable of effectively striking targets, again, the amount of ammunition consumed is enormous. Many times, U.S. soldiers will consume the enemy from a distance, and a casual long-range consumption of the enemy can consume more than a dozen magazines.
If it weren't for the amount of ammunition it carried, it really wouldn't be able to withstand such consumption by the American devils.
Their volunteers want to feed the war with war, unless a large number of guns and ammunition are replaced, otherwise, it is very difficult for Wanguo brand guns to supply ammunition.
When Xia Yuan arrived at the Korean battlefield, the first thing he did was to replace his guns.
"You have made such a great contribution, change a gun, the company commander will definitely approve it, the battle is not over yet, when the battle is over, I will take you to the company commander."
