Chapter 46: Small Victory
And some clever warriors take advantage of the stove on the side wall to bake something.
Many soldiers knew wild vegetables, so they went to dig up some weeds and mushrooms, get some water, tear off the filling inside the steel helmets of the American devils, get some rainwater, boil them a little, pour the top layer of oil and water in the can, and a pot of salty and pasty wild vegetable soup was ready.
Now, the planes of the American devils have blocked their logistical supplies, and food and ammunition cannot come up for a while.
The logistics staff also risked their lives to deliver supplies to everyone, and now that they are in difficulty, everyone should hold on instead of complaining.
It is precisely because the soldiers understand that even if the front-line combat units are faced with a shortage of food and ammunition, none of the fighters complains that their supplies cannot be replenished, but they deepen their hatred of US imperialism even more.
On the main peak of Feihu Mountain, the offensive of the American army stopped, but the rumbling artillery fire continued.
The U.S. military did not give up its attack on Feihu Mountain, and if it wanted to reach the Yalu River, it was necessary to open the blockade of the 335th Regiment on Feihu Mountain, and the enemy in front of Feihu Mountain had about the strength of one regiment.
The night was relatively quiet, and everyone still did not relax, and each platoon sent a man to watch in the forest ahead.
Nothing happened until early in the morning.
For the first time, the soldiers slept so peacefully, and there was still warmth in the individual bomb shelters.
Company Commander Sun said happily: "No matter how cold it is in the future, the soldiers can also use this method to avoid the cold." ”
Instructor Hu smiled and said, "Yes, at least we don't need to rest on the ground and cover the sky." ”
They are happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Sleeping in the field before, even during the day, the soldiers would be woken up by freezing and sleeping unsteadily, but tonight, Sun Lianchang slept quite comfortably, and the soldiers slept similarly.
However, before dawn, a deafening roar was heard from the direction of the main peak, like thunder, accompanied by a flickering glimmer, and a new round of enemy attack began.
In the forest, the warrior in charge of the realm had just changed shifts when he heard the movement on the side of the main peak, and he was instantly alert.
They took off their guns and stared at the mountains and forests, their eyes different.
Soon, a soldier spotted the American troops under the mountain, looked nervous, and ran to the side of another soldier on alert, "Look, American devil!" ”
I didn't see the soldier's position, and after walking more than ten meters ahead, I saw that a large number of American troops had gathered at the foot of the mountain.
"Hurry up and report to the company commander, I'm staring here!"
"Okay, you stay safe!"
Shout!
As soon as their words fell, they heard a sharp whistling sound overhead, and in an instant, the mountain began to tremble, and American shells fell on the hill.
The rumbling sound seemed to tear the ridge apart, and a huge wave of air set off a shock wave on the position, sweeping it away, blowing all kinds of miscellaneous things such as dirt, gravel, and weeds everywhere on the position.
When the two fighters saw the situation, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
"The enemy is about to attack!"
The offensive mode of the US army is similar to that of the Japanese army, except that the two are not of the same order of magnitude at all.
Listening to the deafening, continuous roar, you can see it.
"They're coming!"
Before the artillery fire stopped, the soldiers in charge of the guard saw a figure shaking under the mountain, and at least more than 200 American soldiers began to attack in the direction of the hill.
"Let's go!"
They stared at the American troops below the hill and quickly ran towards the hill.
At this moment, the artillery fire on the mountain had not stopped, and the soldiers were hiding in the air-raid shelters dug on the sides of the trenches, and they quickly found the company commander and told the company commander about the situation of the American troops climbing the mountain.
When Company Commander Sun received the news, he immediately asked the communicator to notify the first, second, and third platoons.
They carried out three positions on the hill, in the shape of a zigzag, the first and third platoons took the lead, the second platoon as the reserve, the previous attack was the second platoon as the main force, sacrificing some soldiers, this time by the first platoon as the main combat force, the third platoon as a platoon of fire cover.
The first platoon leader surnamed Xu, called Xu Youtian, is not tall, square face, not angry and arrogant, looks more serious, but is very good to the soldiers and unites his comrades.
This time, it was their turn to fight in a platoon to fight the front, and they got Xia Yuan, the sharpshooter in the company, and the platoon commander was quite happy, "Company Commander Sun spoke to me, we can sacrifice, but you can't, you are the treasure of our company, what needs do you have, just mention it, I will try to meet it for you if it can be satisfied." ”
Xia Yuan shook his head: "Platoon Commander Xu, we don't have any needs, bullets and grenades are available." ”
These things were captured when they were fighting the enemy on the road, and Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao put a lot of ammunition on their bodies for their own use.
There is no shortage of ammunition at all.
"Okay, if you need anything, you can tell me, I can provide you with ammunition, people."
"Okay."
At this moment, the enemy's cannon fodder is still raging on the hills, everyone is hiding in the trenches, bearing the enemy's shelling, and some soldiers are there scolding: "American devils on dog days, dare to come up later, Lao Tzu will definitely destroy you!" ”
Xia Yuan's heart moved, he stood up and lay on the trench, staring at the pine forest in the distance, and immediately had a way: "Platoon Commander Xu, we have a need." ”
"Oh, what's the need, guns or people?"
"Both!"
Xia Yuan's plan was very simple, that is, to ambush a squad of soldiers on the flank of the pine forest in front, wait until the enemy came up, and greet a round of enemies first.
According to the vigilant soldiers, the number of the enemy was between 200 and 300 men, and according to the nature of the enemy's urine, the enemy who attacked this time was estimated to be only one company, that is, more than 200 men.
Xia Yuan plans to lead a squad to destroy part of it first, and if the enemy comes to chase after him, he will retreat while fighting, and destroy as much as he can.
The rest of the enemy, then hand it over to the defenders on the position.
Knowing Xia Yuan's plan, Platoon Leader Xu stared left and right and shouted, "First squad leader." ”
"In!"
A squad leader ran over, "Platoon leader, you're looking for me." ”
"Take your squad and follow Xia Yuan."
"Yes!"
The first squad leader didn't say anything and resolutely carried out the task.
A dozen people ran along the trench towards the edge of the hill.
The edge of the hill is the back of the mountain, the mountain is steep, the sun does not shine, the snow does not melt, the pine trees are dense, and there are dead branches and thorns everywhere, and ordinary people cannot walk.
They followed the edges, burrowing into the pine forests.
"Xia Yuan, are we going to sneak attack the American devils from here?" When the squad leader saw the path and direction they were taking, he immediately understood Xia Yuan's thoughts.
"Yes, the artillery of the American devils has not stopped, I estimate that they are halfway up the mountain at this time, let's stop them in the forest for a while and disturb their formation." Xia Yuan's gaze froze, and he stretched out his hand to stop advancing, "Peace." ”
"Yes." Xiao Heping squatted beside Xia Yuan.
"Give me the grenades on you."
"Okay." Xiao Heping took off the grenade on his body and looked around: "The American devil touched it?" ”
"It's touched." Xia Yuan nodded.
When the first squad leader heard this, he immediately signaled a group of soldiers to disperse in battle formation, and after the soldiers were scattered in the pine forest, the first squad leader looked at Xia Yuan's movements and saw that he was going to touch it alone, "Xia Yuan, do you want to act alone?" ”
"I'm going to blow them up with a grenade first and attract them first." Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, hid behind the bushes, looked up, and stared at the American troops in the distance, "Besides, if they don't find me, then I will bomb them with grenades all the time." ”
"Good!"
Xia Yuan approached the enemy's position of eighty or ninety meters, staring at the surrounding environment, a little helpless.
The pine forests are dense and don't have a good straight line, allowing him to throw grenades at them.
Even if the grenade is thrown, the enemy is moving, maybe the tree is flying, the enemy has already passed through the tree and after a few steps, there is no gap for him to throw the grenade over.
After careful observation for a while, Xia Yuan gave up.
This approach obviously doesn't work.
"Then you can only prepare for battle." Xia Yuan put away the grenade and prepared to improvise and throw the grenade.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
A group of fighters had already formed a battle formation, and several battle groups were in positions to support each other.
Xia Yuan was the first to fire the first shot, and he aimed at one of the attacking enemy American veterans, who was a little older, bowed forward, and kept saying something to a young soldier next to him.
The sudden sound of breaking the air made him have no time to react, and the bullet mixed with incomparable kinetic energy instantly sank into his side of the head, and blood splattered on the face of the young soldier, and the young American soldier was instantly dumbfounded.
The veteran who was still chatting with him one second was gone the next.
"Ahh
The young American soldier let out a scream and fled for his life.
The next moment, a bullet whizzed through the air, taking his life.
But it wasn't over yet, as the chaos of gunfire erupted from the flanks of the forest, the bullets slammed into the trunks of trees, shattered bushes, and the thrilling sound of rubbing air everywhere.
The group of American troops was stunned by these sudden attacks, lying on the ground and hiding behind trees.
Soon, the U.S. troops found that the enemy on the opposite side had limited strength and no strong firepower at all, and it was only a sudden surprise that brought them at first, and after they reacted, they began to pack up a squad that attacked them from the flank.
"The enemy is coming!"
Zhou Mao squatted behind the tree to shoot, and found that the bushes and pines in front of him were the shaking figures of American soldiers.
And they only have one squad, even if they are full of firepower and in battle formation, they can't make up for the disadvantage in numbers.
But soon the unequal firepower in terms of numbers was filled by Xia Yuan alone, relying on Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao to carry a sufficient amount of grenades, Xia Yuan almost opened his firepower, one after another, and threw it at the enemy group without stopping.
In the woods, the explosive effect of grenades is far better than that of rifles, especially against American troops hiding behind trees and bushes.
"The grenades of the American devils are really useful."
Xia Yuan pulled open the safe, nested in his hand for a few seconds, and with a slight flick, the grenade swept through the air of the forest, and burst open at a position two meters from the ground, and the shockwave generated exploded the shrub unstoppably, and the torso of the pine was pierced by shrapnel, tearing the epidermis, revealing the wood-colored core.
Soon, this force of American troops could not withstand Xia Yuan's throw, and held out for ten minutes, with huge casualties, and even the wounded did not have time to be rescued, so they began to retreat.
"Chase!"
The squad leader saw that how could this group of little devils escape, and immediately ordered the squad of soldiers to bite it.
With this bite, several American devils were bitten to death.
The remaining American devils rushed down the hill in a hurry.
"Squad leader, there are a lot of wounded Americans." A fighter ran over.
"Several."
"There have to be seven or eight."
"So much."
The first squad leader thought, "Go and report to the platoon leader." ”
Platoon Commander Xu, who received the news, was suddenly surprised.
With a squad of fighters, they first took away the enemy's wounded, and then cleaned up the battlefield and looted all the weapons and equipment on the enemy's corpses and all kinds of materials.
Platoon Commander Xu pinched his waist and looked at the messy battlefield, "The battle ended so early, I thought something happened to you, it turned out that it was the American devil, the stinky boy, it seems that my worries before were unnecessary." ”
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes, at first the two sides fought fiercely, and then the fierce battle came to an abrupt end, turning into sporadic gunfire, they almost thought that the first squad was suppressed by the enemy's firepower, and Platoon Commander Xu thought about taking the third squad to support.
Unexpectedly, it was the enemy who was beaten away.
This eliminated at least thirty American devils and captured seven or eight wounded American devils.
A lot of Garand and bullets were captured, as well as American-made grenades, and even two bazookas, and two boxes of ammunition, seeing these two bazookas, Platoon Commander Xu's mouth was happy and crooked, "Go and bring it to the company commander, grandma, this is a good thing, it is used to deal with the tanks of the American devils." ”
These good things, even if they are seized, must be handed over.
At present, the army lacks weapons to deal with the American devil tanks, and most of them rely on fire cover, and the infantry stuff blasting canisters into the mouths of the enemy's tanks close to their faces.
Most of the captured bazooka were taken by the army and used by the front-line troops to attack the enemy's important towns.
After all, the hill is not a very important location, and the main peak of Feihu Mountain is.
The fighting on their side basically stopped, and the enemy did not come up for more than an hour.
However, the movement on the side of the main peak began as soon as the sky was bright and continued to sound until noon.
The midday day was overcast with sleet.
They hid in the woods, cold.
"This American devil is really cautious, he fought three waves, but he didn't have much confrontation with us, and he ran away as soon as he shot us." It was the first time for a squad leader to fight such a battle, and he felt very strange.
If you can't fight, you won't surrender, so you will be tempted again and again.
It is still necessary to fight the reactionaries, either to surrender or to surrender cleanly, and all the weapons and equipment will be given to them.
It's like now, stay here with them for a long time.
"It is estimated that these American devils are thinking of waiting for the main force to knock down the main peak of Feihu Mountain and then come to support them."
