Chapter 68: Tricks
The machine gun went off, and a barrage of bullets strafed the enemy, knocking down one piece, and the rest of the enemy turned around and ran.
Where did Chen Ji let go of this group of enemies, holding a light machine gun, jumped out of the fortifications, and held the machine gun is a fierce strafing fire, driving the enemy down.
On this day, Chen Ji alone killed more than 50 enemies, accounting for nearly half of the total number of enemies destroyed in the company.
They stayed in the courtyard for seven days and seven nights, and then they began to move.
The other units that held their positions had little contact with the enemy, but they all had a very difficult time.
The weather was cold, and the soldiers squatted on the top of the mountain day and night, and many of them froze their feet, and it was very difficult to eat, and they often did not have a hot meal for several days.
The troops of the 341st Regiment defending in Yongshan rarely ate and drank for several days, and finally had to drink urine.
Such a hard day made the soldiers who participated in the war unforgettable for life.
On 7 November, the Eastern Front Volunteers voluntarily abandoned Huangcaoling.
On the 8th, the Volunteers of the Western Front took the initiative to withdraw from Feihushan, Tokugawa, and other places, and continued to confuse the enemy, making the enemy mistakenly believe that the Chinese Volunteers were "timidly retreating" and "not a force that cannot be regretted," and proudly believed that it was the "air campaign" they launched that had won the victory, forcing the Volunteers supporting the rear to "not be able to enter the battlefield."
On 9 November, MacArthur triumphantly boasted to Washington's generals that he was able to 'prevent reinforcements of sufficient strength from crossing the Yalu River,' that he had 'sealed off the battle and cut off the enemy's supplies and reinforcements,' and arrogantly declared that he would launch an all-out offensive that would soon end the Korean War.
The behavior of the volunteers really confused all the enemies.
Looking at the current Korean battlefield, the strength of the first batch of volunteers to fight in Korea is unknown, but in the eyes of the US military, it is the strength of three divisions.
In the first battle, Yunshan lost, they believed that it was the Chinese who appeared suddenly, and they were not prepared for prevention, so that the Chinese took the lead. Fortunately, they stabilized the front and began a series of measures.
On the Western Front, the divisions began to launch fierce attacks on the positions of the Chinese in an attempt to seize the lost positions.
On the Eastern Front, the Eastern Front was opened, and the Chinese were forced to fight with them on the Eastern Front.
In the sky, aircraft carriers send long-range bombers to blow up the bridge over the Yalu River and cut off the enemy's reinforcement routes.
At airfields, send air forces to fly to enemy rears and bomb enemy supply lines.
On the ground, a large number of mechanized troops were put into the battlefield.
The Chinese of the three divisions could not cope with this battle, and after holding out for several days, they finally 'could not withstand the fierce attack of the joint *** and began to shrink and retreat along the entire front"!
This is great news for the United States.
MacArthur was ambitious, and he firmly believed that this was the best time to end the Korean War.
However.
On the side of the Volunteer Army.
The vanguard of the Ninth Corps secretly entered Korea on 1 November and went to the Eastern Front to divide and encircle the 1st Marine Division that was rampantly attacking on the Eastern Front.
On the Western Front.
The first batch of troops to enter Korea amounted to 260,000, and MacArthur miscalculated the strength of the Volunteer Army, mistakenly believing that the Volunteer Army had only three divisions.
This is due to the fact that the Volunteer Army is inferior in equipment and artillery, and even if the strength of an army is displayed, it is almost equal to a division in terms of firepower.
It was only after careful observation that the commander of the front line judged the enemy's strength by the enemy's firepower and then reported the information to Macas.
In fact, the strength of the volunteer army on the Western Front reached a terrible 260,000 men.
Shrinking the defensive line is just a *** given to MacArthur by Zhiji, just to make the joint *** think that their plan has worked, and our army is overwhelmed by the pressure and begins to retreat.
"Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait!"
Showing weakness to the enemy and luring the enemy into the depths is a tactic of pulling the bull's nose, which can not only let the enemy see through it, but also lead him away, and this is the art of commanding the battle.
Warriors
At first, I didn't understand, but the orders of the superiors must be carried out, and everyone remained silent, even if they didn't understand, they didn't say anything, and resolutely carried out the orders given by the superiors.
Several leaders of the army studied and decided to use the 335th Regiment of the 112th Division to take on the task of luring the enemy into depth.
The 335th Regiment is an old friend of the enemy, and it has held on to Feihu Mountain for a long enough time, and with the strength of one regiment, it has resisted the frantic attack of one division of the enemy's puppet army and one division of the US army.
It is only fitting that the 335th Regiment should be tasked with luring the enemy into depth.
Of course, the other units also maintained contact with the enemy in their original positions.
Eight days.
The weather is getting colder.
The 335th Regiment was ordered to move, and late that night it was transferred to the front line of Kowloon Station behind Feihu Mountain, where it continued to fortify and lure the enemy into depth.
The regiment commander Fan Tianen finally understood the reason why his superiors did this at this moment, and asked them to retreat, but they did not retreat completely, it seemed that they retreated intentionally or unintentionally, and waited for the enemy on the way to retreat.
He remembered that at the beginning of the battle, the enemy was on a pincer offensive and entrenched in Yunshan, which was simply a natural way to intersperse and block the enemy, cut off the enemy's retreat, and divide the encircled hunting ground.
Now, let them stop and go, I am afraid that it is not to lure the enemy, let the enemy chase them, and wait for the enemy's battle line to lengthen, it will not be the same as when the first battle was fought.
Thinking of this, Fan Tianen was full of enthusiasm and began to order the troops below to set up a defensive line.
Fan Tianen first played a little joke on the enemy, there is an unnamed high ground east of Kowloon Station, which has an important position, but it is too isolated, and the surrounding area is flat and wide, and it is not easy to use troops to increase the number of troops, and he thinks that the enemy in the attack will definitely pay attention to this hill.
Therefore, the trump card of three companies and a platoon was ordered to be stationed on this hill, and when the enemy came up, to repel the enemy's first charge, he quickly withdrew from his position.
In this way, you can not only reduce your own casualties, effectively kill the enemy, but also prolong the time of contact with the enemy.
As expected, as soon as the enemy arrived, he sensed the importance of this nameless height, and immediately arranged his troops to prepare to attack the nameless height.
After experiencing the battle of Feihu Mountain, the platoon commander of the first platoon Xu was very optimistic about Xia Yuan's combat ability, especially when the superiors gave them a row of space to be empty at will, Xu platoon commander said happily to Xia Yuan:
"This time you come with a platoon to fight, and I will be your deputy platoon leader."
Xia Yuan was stunned: "Platoon leader, where is this?"
"Why not, Lao Han agrees too."
Lao Han is the deputy platoon commander and has no objection to this at all.
Xia Yuan was a little nervous, and then nodded in agreement.
A row of more than 20 people came to the nameless heights, and as far as the eye could see, there were rocks, weeds, and snow that had not yet melted in places where the sun could not shine.
One of the warriors shoveled the ground with a shovel and bared his teeth, "It's so hard."
Everyone got started, there were too many rocks on the hill to dig the bunker fortifications, and it took two or three hours to barely dig a crooked trench.
However, taking into account the orders of their superiors, they were only required to stop a wave of enemy attacks here, and immediately withdraw from their positions.
The only requirement is to strike the enemy hard and kill as many enemies as possible.
It seems that it was this order that the Third Company would get this task.
After all, today's Third Company is the trump card company of the 335th Regiment.
Therefore, this trench excavation is crooked, and it can barely be used.
What's more, there are more rocks here, which is very suitable for use as cover, arranging machine gunners, arranging flank blocking forces, and then waiting for the enemy to come up.
Xia Yuan is still cooperating with Zhou Mao and Xiao Heping, the two of them are now more and more conscious, wherever Xia Yuan goes, the two of them will follow wherever they go, they are completely Xia Yuan's followers, the company commander also acquiesced in the behavior of the two, and even gave the two of them the right to replenish ammunition at the three platoons in the company anytime and anywhere.
Now Xia Yuan's combat ability is strong,
The number of individual kills and injuries accounted for more than half of the total number of enemies killed and injured in the company, and it almost reached the peak of individual kills.
It's unimaginable to everyone.
If you give him enough weapons and ammunition, will he kill more enemies?
Everyone was looking forward to it, but it was also clear that it was almost impossible to have an endless supply of ammunition.
The only thing that has an effect is to send two warriors, carry enough ammunition, follow Xia Yuan to fight, and supply him at any time.
A platoon of fighters, all of whom had already entered the place of battle, in groups of three, scattered on this nameless height.
The cold wind was blowing, and the march was in the light snow, and the clothes were wet, but after the cold wind blew like this, it was hard enough to cut people's skin, and the soldiers lay on the stones, rubbing their hands, exhaling the white mist, and staring at the strange rocky mountain.
It took several hours to dig the trenches, and after another hour of waiting, the enemy was still nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, the soldier in charge of reconnaissance ran up from the bottom of the mountain, and without taking a breath, he reported to the platoon commander: "Platoon commander, the enemy is coming!"
"So slow, inform the soldiers, all calm down!"
"Yes!"
It didn't take long for the enemy attack to arrive.
It is not an attack when it is said to be an attack, after all, the enemy did not even carry out the work of bombing the mountain, and rushed towards the mountain with people straight up.
The group didn't understand the enemy's meaning, so they came straight and straight, completely ignoring them.
This time, Xia Yuan did not shoot at the enemy on the way to attack, what they wanted to do was to destroy the enemy's living force as much as possible, and the most critical point was that the enemy did not shell the mountain, but rushed directly towards the mountain.
This shows that the enemy thinks that there is no enemy on this mountain, so they swagger towards this mountain.
I'm afraid that I didn't think that the volunteer army could not withstand the pressure and began to retreat on the whole front.
"I'll surprise them later."
Xia Yuan muttered, asking Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao to unload all the grenades on their bodies.
But seeing a dense crowd of enemies like wasps, they ran towards the top of the hill along a position that was not very steep.
Lined up in a row, isn't this no different from giving away someone's head?
The Heavy looked at it, grinning his teeth, and he would have to let this group of puppet soldiers drink a pot later.
At this time, this group of Li puppet soldiers did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and some people even walked up the mountain with laughter and laughter.
"The Chinese ran away, and the Americans said that they wanted us to hit the Yalu River, heh, this is to let us go and open the way."
"Along the way, I didn't see a single enemy, I'm afraid it's gone."
"The Chinese are cunning, that's what the Japanese say."
"I wish this war would end sooner, so many people have died."
They looked up, and the mountain was in front of them, and thinking that they could end the war earlier, everyone climbed up the mountain with all their might.
Take this hill and cover the advance of the troops in the rear, and they will be able to station in the rear.
There is no need to go to the front.
What a wonderful thing.
The dark clouds that still hung over everyone's heads a few days ago also dissipated at this moment, they were afraid of death, and it was the best choice to stay behind.
However, just when everyone was yearning for the beautiful things that did not need to go to the front line in the future, a roar directly stunned everyone.
On the top of the mountain, grenades skimmed over and landed among them, and in an instant, there was a buzz in their ears, and their bodies seemed to be hit by something, and they sensed that there was a damp heat on their stomachs.
"Ahh
The terrible screams were instantly engulfed by the sound of a loud explosion.
The enemy was not prepared in the slightest, and the battle formation did not disperse, and was smashed by a series of grenades, killing and wounding a large number of people.
The machine gunner picked up his machine gun and fired at the enemy group, and those who had not yet reacted were hit by bullets one by one, and their bodies fell to the ground as soon as they went limp.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out.
A platoon of fighters was in high spirits, with grenades and bullets pouring down on the enemy.
Xia Yuan held the big eight grains and pulled the trigger continuously, and none of the Li puppet soldiers who appeared in his sight could leave intact.
The eight bullets ran out, threw them to Xiao Heping casually, grabbed the grenade beside him, opened the safe, and threw them out directly without counting.
The grenade drew an arc in mid-air, and when it landed on the top of the enemy's head, it exploded with a bang, and the gunpowder smoke drifted into the sky, and shrapnel was scattered everywhere, and the Li puppet army lying on the ground was not spared, his body was pierced, and the smell of blood drifted in the air with the gunpowder smoke.
At this moment, whether it was lying in front and not dead, or Li Puppet Army lying in the rear, they all looked frightened.
The enemy at the bottom of the mountain heard the explosion on the mountain and turned pale with one face.
They thought to themselves, the damned Chinese did not retreat, there was resistance.
Hearing the explosion, the commander of the puppet army Li quickly began to study the map, and found that they had arrived at the line of Kowloon Station behind Feihu Mountain.
"Maybe the Chinese at Kowloon Station have not retreated yet, this is blocking our progress, order, take this hill and march to Kowloon Station!"
"Yes!"
The commander of the puppet army of Li made a judgment from the map.
There is also information provided by the US military.
The news from the US side is absolutely accurate, the Chinese could not resist the pressure of logistics, reinforcements could not come up, and began to retreat, this is only a small force of blocking troops, not to be afraid.
