Chapter 132 Fierce battles, rapidly depleting ammunition
With such a dense attack by the enemy, Xia Yuan didn't even need to aim. He pulled the trigger continuously, and the eight large bullets harvested the enemy's life one after another. When the enemy approached, he fired the grenade and knocked the enemy Fry back.

But the number of enemies is really too much. Commander Gao received news from various fronts. When the battle was at its most intense, Commander Gao issued an order: "Defend to Shangganling of the Five Sacred Mountains!! Even if it’s gone, you can’t lose your position!”

The big soldiers charged desperately, followed by the continuous artillery fire, washing away our army's forward positions over and over again.There are basically only a dozen soldiers stationed in each position, and they are scattered on the positions in combat groups, tenaciously blocking the enemy.

On the wide ground, almost every soldier has his own area and personal target. Because the enemy's artillery fire is too dense, it is impossible to send a large number of troops to Shangganling. Our army can only adopt the tactics of small soldiers, and the idea of ​​small soldiers is also What Xia Yuan proposed was to use each class as a unit, and each class should stick to their positions.

This can effectively reduce the huge casualties caused by the enemy's fierce artillery fire, and it can also sacrifice a small number of troops in exchange for the majority of the enemy's troops.

The sun rose slowly, and Xia Yuan had lost all his grenades. He constantly changed his position, pulled the eight grenades continuously, and sent the bullets into the enemy's chest one by one. On the ground, the enemy's corpses were already piled up. The enemy's artillery fire fell on the position, and what was rolled up was not mud, but blood and flesh.

When all the bullets on Squad Leader Hu’s body were exhausted, he would hit them with grenades. When the grenades were lost, he would throw stones. The enemy was crazy, and our soldiers were even crazier. Backing off meant the battle was lost. At this moment, the comparison is between the two sides. The will is compared to who is not afraid of life and death.

The battle lasted for an hour. The soldiers in the first squad suffered too many casualties. All the bullets they carried were exhausted. There was no time to go back to replenish the bullets. Some frontier positions had been captured. Weapons and ammunition came to reinforce the first squad, and even Commander Gao and Instructor Lin also took part in the battle with their guns.

"Comrade Xia Yuan, this is the grenade our squad leader asked us to bring to you."

In the crater, two soldiers touched over and sent all the grenades on their bodies.

Xia Yuan leaned against the crater, with no expression on his pitch-black face, he took the grenade, didn't say a word, blasted the grenades one by one, threw them far away, and threw the grenade into the center of the enemy's line, The grenade exploded over the enemy, and the shattered shrapnel seriously injured many US troops.

The eyes of the two soldiers were shining brightly, and they admired Xia Yuan more and more in their hearts. After admiring them, they quickly threw themselves into the battle with their guns in hand.

The fierce fighting has lasted for an hour.

It was already six o'clock in the morning, but the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke. Through the thick smoke, only the dark yellow outline of the sun could be seen.

The smoke and dust billowed on the ground, the guns were howling, but the vegetation was whimpering. What was presented to them was a mess. Previously, there were trenches and traffic ditches as deep as one person, but now they could not even cover their knees. They were all flattened by the enemy's artillery fire, and the soldiers had to lie down in the crater and fight persistently.

The bunker Xia Yuan was in also turned into a crater formed by the falling enemy shells. The enemy bullets whizzed through the top of his head, forcing him to lower his head and hide his body in the crater. The addition of the second squad basically reversed the situation. Occupy, the locust-like enemy finally couldn't bear the firepower of the volunteers on the Shangganling defense line and had to start retreating.

When the enemy began to retreat, the U.S. aircraft, artillery and tanks began to roar again, and shells kept screaming in the sky.

The ground was full of flying dirt.

Company Commander Gao yelled and asked Instructor Lin to send out a signal bomb, asking the volunteers behind the mountain to support the artillery fire and attack the retreating US troops. However, the signal bomb had already been lifted into the air, but there was no movement of our artillery fire. He looked up, I understood immediately.

Where there is still the shadow of the signal flare, there is thick smoke and dust everywhere, covering the entire Shangganling, and the signal flare from the mountain side cannot be seen behind.

"I'm going to make a call!" Instructor Lin said with a gun in his hand.

"It's too late, the enemy has already run away, so there is no need to waste shells." Company Commander Gao looked at the retreating US troops, and immediately shouted: "Let the soldiers dig trenches again! The enemy will organize an attack soon!"

"Hey!"

Instructor Lin got up to inform the soldiers on the ground. A shell landed beside Instructor Lin. There was a bang, and there was a buzzing in Captain Gao's ears. When he turned his head, Instructor Lin was no longer in sight.

He was startled and shouted: "Instructor! Instructor!"

There was still no figure of the instructor, but a bullet crater was left where Instructor Lin stood up just now, and a broken leg wrapped in rags, bleeding, and bones could be seen falling beside it.

Company Commander Gao was stunned.

"Company commander, company commander, the enemy is coming up again!"

Amidst the loud artillery fire, a soldier shouted.

Company Commander Gao gathered himself together, ignoring anything else, laying down in the crater, straightened his hat that was blown crooked by the shock wave from the shell, and set up his binoculars to look down the mountain.

The front of the mountain is like rushing to a temple fair. There are enemy helmets dangling everywhere. It is estimated that there are three to four battalions of troops. In order to attack the 597.9 highland, the enemy has also spent a lot of money. The strength of these three to four battalions is within [-] of the enemy The Artillery Battalion, supported by [-] tanks and [-] aircraft, launched another fierce attack on Shangganling.

And their main attack is the No. [-] position of the frontier position of Shangganling. There are only soldiers of our ninth company and four platoons stationed in the No. [-] position. Except that there is no enemy behind them, the other three sides have been surrounded by the enemy. Such an inconspicuous The enemy used dozens of artillery pieces and more than ten tanks and armored vehicles to attack this No. [-] position with nearly two battalions of troops.

The enemy is like a tide, attacking again and again, being repulsed again and again, and then attacking again and again, being repelled again and again.

A squad of more than ten soldiers withstood the enemy's heavy firepower, withstood the enemy's attack, stood on the ground for several hours, repelled dozens of enemy attacks, and finally only two wounded in the tunnel were left alive After coming down, the other soldiers died on the seventh position.

The loss of position [-] made the battle in the rear more difficult.

The No. 2 position held by the four rows, and the No. 11 position were also attacked by the enemy. Comrade Zhao Fengshou was on the battlefield for the first time. He listened to the words of the deputy squad leader and followed the deputy squad leader when he was in the front position of the enemy's No. 50 position. , Carrying [-] rushes, arrived at the forward position of the second position, where they blocked the US troops rushing up.

The failure rate of the 50 punch is very high. Often after firing a few shots, it will jam and fail to fire several times. Under such circumstances, the volunteer soldiers are still tenaciously resisting the enemy's onslaught, and the enemy's artillery fire round after round Continuously blooming on the highlands of Shangganling, Zhao Fengshou held the gun, suppressed the fear in his heart, shot at the enemy, and threw grenades. The short battle reduced his inner fear a lot.

"You can fight!" The deputy squad leader held a gun and shouted happily. He ran over, stuffed the grenade in his arms to Zhao Fengshou, and said solemnly: "Zhao Fengshou! You will become a fighting hero! I Believe!"

A smile appeared on Zhao Fengshou's face.

Before leaving, the deputy squad leader said: "You must protect yourself!"

After speaking, he stood up.

Suddenly, an enemy shell landed in front of Zhao Fengshou, and the shrapnel from the explosion directly tore the deputy squad leader into pieces, and he was also knocked unconscious by the sudden explosion.

When he fell down again, he vaguely heard shouts. By the time Zhao Fengshou woke up again, it had been two hours. He witnessed the death of his best deputy squad leader and suffered from severe shell shock. The menacing enemy became fearful of war again. Under such circumstances, the squad leader did not blame Zhao Fengshou, but arranged him in the tunnel of the No. [-] position for a short rest. The squad leader rushed to No. [-] Confront the enemy on the ground.

In the No. [-] tunnel, there are already many soldiers in the fourth row who were seriously injured. They all came down from the position and were seriously injured. legs, unable to move.

Zhao Fengshou only had a scratch on his arm. He squatted in the tunnel with his gun in his arms. He looked at the other soldiers in the tunnel, felt the constant vibration of the tunnel, and felt the fear in his heart layer by layer. The person leaning against him was a Both eyes were blinded by the shells, and blood was constantly oozing from the wrapped bandages. There was also a first-aid kit in his arms. The soldier was holding the first-aid kit and was not willing to use it on himself.

The soldier seemed to have noticed Zhao Fengshou who was squatting opposite him, took out the first aid kit he was reluctant to use in his arms, handed it to Zhao Fengshou opposite him, and asked weakly: "Comrade, are you injured? There is a first aid kit, you use it first."

Zhao Fengshou sat on the ground with his gun in his arms, looked up at the soldier in front of him, the gauze that bound his eyes was dirty, blackened by gunpowder smoke, the blood from the injured eye stained the wrapped bandage, in the dark Two bloodstains formed on the face.

He said to himself: "My eyes were injured and I can no longer see. The first aid kit is left for those who need it. They need this first aid kit more than me."

Zhao Fengshou didn't answer, and stared fixedly at the soldier in front of him, panicking in his heart.

The sound of guns and cannons intertwined to form a cruel movement. On the battlefield, the squad leader led the whole squad to fight hard, while he was only slightly injured and stayed in the tunnel. holding the gun tightly
"Comrade, comrade." The soldier couldn't see and called softly, but Zhao Fengshou was no longer in front of him.

The battle on the No. [-] position was extremely difficult, with flames burning everywhere, and enemy figures could be seen everywhere at the foot of the mountain. In the distance, tanks roared continuously. Every time a gun was fired, the dust on the ground around the tank was blown away. Shock open, continue to spread.

The shells hit the top of the mountain, and the whole mountain was shaking.

Every position is confronted with crazy attacks from the enemy.

The situation in the No. [-] position has improved slightly. With his powerful sniper ability, Xia Yuan reaped the enemy's life one after another. He kept walking around the position, looking for bomb craters one after another, and With the help of its own sniper advantages, it can quickly support the volunteer soldiers in the forward positions under great pressure.

Xia Yuan's eyes were extremely sharp, and his eyes kept on staring. The bullets pierced through the enemy's main soldier holding the recoilless gun with his sight, and the shells around him exploded one after another, quickly burying him. Keep digging, expand the bunker under you, and dig a groove at the sniper position, so that even if shells fall on your side, the broken shrapnel will not hurt you.

But because the enemy's firepower was too fierce, the trench he dug was quickly buried. Xia Yuan continued to shoot while cleaning up the trench under him. The bullets on his body were also rapidly consumed. , There are already a large number of enemy corpses piled up.

Xia Yuan's marksmanship became more and more accurate and proficient. The soldiers on the frontier were brave and fearless. They didn't worry that their side would be broken by the enemy at all, because they had a strong backing behind them. He let out all the bullets on his body.

By nine o'clock in the battle, they had repelled the enemy's counterattacks several times. The enemy's artillery fire basically destroyed the fortifications on the surface of the position, and there was no complete fortification of the position. Fortifications are reinforced.

Gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire battlefield, covering the sky and the sun.

After the fierce battle, the ammunition became less and less, and the number of personnel fought less and less. Company Commander Gao was pitch black, and his clothes were dyed black and yellow. Squad Leader Hu reported that they had repelled the enemy 21 times. attack, and he himself sacrificed fifteen comrades.

Company Commander Gao asked, "Are there any wounded?"

The hygienist said from the side: "Every comrade has applied it, and I am not allowed to carry it or bandage it. They said that they can continue to fight."

The health worker was very moved by the persistence of the wounded, and he felt very wronged by not being able to perform his duties when he was most needed.The tense fighting situation and high sense of responsibility made the soldiers forget themselves. Company Commander Gao could only use strict orders to make them temporarily stop fighting and bandage their wounds.

The uninjured soldiers quickly returned to the tunnel to replenish their weapons and ammunition.

After the sacrifice of Instructor Lin, Company Commander Gao was in charge of the ammunition consumption on the entire battlefield. The female health worker Wang Lan originally wanted to go to the surface position with the health workers of the Seventh Company to rescue the wounded, but was rejected by Company Commander Gao and asked her to stay in the tunnel to take care of the wounded. The wounded who were sent down counted the consumption of ammunition.

Tunnel No. [-] stores enough ammunition for volunteer soldiers to use for more than a month, and after the battle begins, each tunnel needs to be replenished with ammunition. In just half a day of fighting, the consumption of ammunition is astonishing, and the wear and tear of guns more serious.
