The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 141 The fierce battle is still in progress

The soldiers of the Ninth Company carried ammunition boxes, engineer shovels and their own guns, and blasting barrels, and set off in squadron units.When they arrived at the entrance of the tunnel, looking through the entrance to the half-covered high ground, there was still a drowsy sky, thick fog shrouded the position, shells kept falling, and the rolled up soil splashed everywhere.

The soldiers of the Seventh Company at the entrance of the tunnel were digging away the soil buried in the tunnel with an engineering shovel.

They saw that the soldiers of the Ninth Company were ready to fight. An observer of the Seventh Company reminded: "Commander Ninth Company, when I saw the enemy just now, the enemy was still about 200 meters away from our army's forward position." , it is estimated that it is more than 100 meters away at this moment."

"Okay!" Captain Gao nodded and waved to the soldiers. The soldiers quickly got out of the tunnel and separated to the left and right naturally. The first row and the second row went to the right side where the pressure was higher, and the third row went to the right side where the pressure was less. On the left side, the soldiers shuttled through the No. [-] position under the artillery fire. They hid in the bomb crater and continued to advance with the help of the bunker.

A soldier carrying an ammunition box five or six meters ahead of Xia Yuan was unfortunately hit by a shell. The shell did not fall around him, but exploded in front of him. The huge explosion directly wiped out the entire body. The person exploded, and pieces of clothing were scattered everywhere.

"Han Qingsheng!!"

"go!"

The soldiers had no time to be sad. Staying longer meant that they were more likely to be hit by enemy shells. They could only endure the grief in their hearts and move on in order to reach their battle location in the shortest possible time.

Xia Yuan didn't know when he would be hit by a shell, maybe he would die, but he only hoped that this day would come later, at least let him kill more enemies and do more things.

On the No. [-] position, the trench dug just last night has been leveled by the enemy's cannon plow, and a shallow trench can still be seen faintly, crooked and criss-crossing.

The soldiers soon arrived at the right side of the No. [-] position, put the ammunition box in the crater, and quickly dug trenches and built bunkers and other fortifications under the situation of fierce enemy artillery fire.

"The enemy is coming!"

A long line of voices was almost swallowed by artillery fire.

The shells exploded continuously in the soil around the soldiers, and the soil vented everywhere, pouring on the soldiers and slapping the faces of the soldiers. The enemy had already rushed up, and the soldiers had no time to dig deeper bunkers. After shallow digging, the ammunition was quickly flicked away, and the gun was set up to aim at the enemy rushing down the mountain.

In the early morning, the fog in the mountains has not yet dissipated, and it is mixed with the thick smoke and fog on the top of the mountain, and people can be seen shaking in the haze.

In the valley, the rumbling sound of the cannon spread far and far away, shaking the fog in the mountains to tremble constantly. The enemy was hidden in the thick fog, and they kept approaching the top of the mountain. A row of leaders shouted, "This mountain The fog is so thick, no matter how big it is, people can't see clearly!"

Commander Gao's voice came from the other side: "Get closer and hit again."

In the defensive area of ​​the second row, platoon leader Sun Yuan touched Xia Yuan's side and said, "How about such a thick fog, can we hit it?"

Xia Yuan nodded: "It's not very affected, but it won't work any farther away."

It's just that the gunpowder smoke is okay, but the current situation is that the morning fog and gunpowder smoke are mixed, and the line of sight is seriously hindered. Turning on the eagle's vision can only relieve it. It can be seen clearly within a few tens of meters, and it is hazy if it is farther away.

Platoon leader Sun Yuan shuttled among the soldiers against the enemy's artillery fire, and kept pointing them out: "Put in some before hitting, hold your breath, and when the enemy gets close, throw grenades, and when they get closer, use a submachine gun to greet them." them."

50 meters away, the figure of the enemy can already be seen, and the enemy's artillery fire has also extended to the rear, so that the forward position will no longer be subjected to enemy artillery fire.

When the enemy reached 20 meters, the soldiers hiding in the bunker picked up the grenade, their fingers had hooked the grenade's pull wire, and their eyes were fixed on the enemy's figure in the thick fog. Sun Gong filled all the guns with bullets and waited quietly.

"beat!"

Commander Gao yelled and pulled the trigger of the submachine gun in his hand. The soldiers behind the cover squeezed the opened grenade in their hands for two seconds, and threw it forcefully at the enemy. The grenade that was delayed for a few seconds fell on the enemy's head An explosion occurred, or it exploded when it fell half a person's height in the crowd, and the broken shrapnel was scattered everywhere.

Then suddenly encountered the attack of the volunteers, the enemy rushed to the front position desperately, and the guns in their hands fired continuously.

The bullets flew over the head, and the soldiers in the bunker fought back fiercely. The submachine gun in their hands couldn't fire, so they patted and continued to try.

Xia Yuan turned into a sharpshooter, aimed at the machine gunners and flame-throwing soldiers in the enemy group, and pulled the trigger continuously. The bullets fired from the chamber accurately shot and killed the special soldiers in the enemy group. One bullet takes away the life of an enemy. Of course, sometimes they will empty the gun. The enemy is not a fool. Standing there for you to shoot, they will constantly jump left and right, and hide in the crater from time to time, making Xia Yuan unable to Effective kill.

"Grenade!"

He yelled and stared at the figure in front of him. Sun Gong immediately pushed the ammunition box containing the grenade to Xia Yuan's side. Xia Yuan grabbed the grenade, unscrewed the cover, pulled the wire to control the force, and threw the grenade into the crowd. It precisely landed on the enemies hiding in the crater, and the broken shrapnel blasted them screaming.

Xia Yuan threw grenades continuously, and the precise and violent throws blasted the enemy in front of him so hard that he dared not move forward. The ground was full of enemy corpses and howling wounded soldiers. Before the wounded soldiers raised their guns to shoot, A grenade fell on top of their heads.

The early morning battle at Shangganling kicked off.

Due to the failure of the battle on the first day, the enemy sent additional troops to attack Shangganling. At present, the 537.7 highland has been firmly controlled by the enemy. another situation.

That is, the U.S. military can attack the 537.7 highland without dividing its forces, and can gather superior forces to launch a more violent attack on the positions defended by the volunteers on the 597.9 highland. The enemy's charge is completely wave after wave, even if it is temporary. was repulsed, but soon the enemy's heavy artillery aimed at our army's forward position. Under the enemy's fierce bombardment, the soldiers stationed at the front could not go to the rear to replenish ammunition, and the soldiers in the rear could not go to the forward position. Our army sent ammunition and supplies.

The enemy's offensive in the early morning was extremely fierce, and Xia Yuan felt that it was progressing for a while. The enemies like locusts spread all over the mountains and fields, and the shaking helmets of the enemies were everywhere. Our soldiers fought bloody battles to meet the enemies. After paying minor casualties, Finally withstood this wave of enemy attacks, Xia Yuan sat down in the trench and put the empty gun on the ground.

Sun Gong said excitedly: "Squad leader! You are too powerful! You killed at least forty enemies by yourself!"

Xia Yuan smiled wryly: "This is just the first wave of the enemy's offensive. It's not yet dawn, and more people will be killed next."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp whistling of shells above his head. Accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers, the shells fell on the forward positions and blossomed everywhere. The soldiers were lying in the trenches, curled up, and the soil kept falling, filled with gunpowder smoke , Bombarding the battlefield constantly, Xia Yuan curled up as if he felt the end of the world. The falling shells rolled up a lot of soil, and the bunker just dug was quickly buried. One shell There was a piercing and sharp whistle above Xia Yuan's head, and it landed on the edge of the trench beside them with a bang.

In an instant, there was a buzzing in his ears, which kept ringing, Xia Yuan opened his mouth wide, and the sound was buzzing in his ears, he shouted: "Sun Gong, are you okay?"

The buzzing sound was accompanied by Sun Gong's strange voice, "Squad leader, I'm fine."

Xia Yuan shook his head, he couldn't hear clearly, his vision was basically blocked by the falling soil, every breath was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke, another round of howling shells landed beside him, he quickly curled up , keeping himself in a lying position, with humming in his ears, constant vibrations under his body, splashes of mud and sand, eyes that could not be opened, and pungent gunpowder smoke from his mouth and nose.

The whole world seems to be doomsday.

After nearly half an hour of shelling, the violent shelling gradually weakened and began to spread to the rear. At this time, some veteran soldiers could basically guess that the enemy was pressing up again.

Sure enough, some surviving soldiers shook off the dirt on their bodies and guns, looked up, and in the dense fog of gunpowder smoke, the enemy's locust-like figure was pressing up. Under such a huge pressure, Platoon Leader Sun Even without time to count the wounded, he struggled out of the almost buried trench and saw that there were not many soldiers left in the second row on the forward position. He felt distressed and was shocked and angry at the same time. The enemy pressed up again. The pressure on the volunteer soldiers in the forward position can be imagined As far as I know, even Xia Yuan, who has opened the cheat, feels deeply desperate.

He gritted his teeth, shook his head, picked up the gun in his hand, and pulled the trigger, but there was no sound of the gun, and it jammed. Xia Yuan patted the body of the gun with his hand, tried again, but it still didn't work, threw the gun in his hand on the ground, grabbed He picked up a gun leaning against the wall of the trench, pulled the trigger, and the bullet was fired, shooting and killing an American soldier.

Looking at the U.S. troops pressing up, he couldn't care less about picking up the ammunition buried in the mud, and pulled the trigger continuously. Eight bullets reaped the enemy's life. He stretched out the gun in his hand and shouted: "Sun Gong, move quickly, the enemy is coming up!"

Not seeing Sun Gong grabbing the gun in his hand, Xia Yuan turned his head while shouting: "Sun Gong, you."

Seeing that Sun Gong hadn't been seen in the almost filled trench, Xia Yuan was startled, and he pawed at the soil vigorously with both hands. Suddenly, his eyes fixed and looked at the soil in his palm.

He was even more shocked when he was wet, and continued to dig down. The soil was wet and black, and he couldn't tell what it was.

Xia Yuan had a bad premonition in his heart.

He picked up the shattered rags, and saw the mud and sand mixed with the bloody back. He stretched out his hand to grab the dirt, and the flesh and blood mixed with the mud, sticking together.

"Sun Gong!"

Xia Yuan struggled hard and pulled Sun Gong up. His black muzzle was covered with a lot of mud. He patted Sun Gong's face with his hands and shouted: "Sun Gong, Sun Gong."

Sun Gong was silent.

"The enemy is coming!!"

Amidst the sound of cannons, the shouts of the surviving soldiers came from the battlefield. Xia Yuan gritted his teeth, ignoring Sun Gong, picked up the gun and stuffed the ammunition on his body into the magazine, and looked forward with concentration, the figure of the enemy had already appeared In the forward position, and after the volunteer soldiers stationed in the forward position experienced round after round of enemy shelling, not many survived.

Of the three platoons of fighters, there are only more than [-] soldiers left.

The difficult battle is still going on, Captain Gao's mouth and nose are constantly bleeding, his mind is dizzy, and there is a blurred position in front of his vision. The cry of "the enemy is coming up", he was clever, ignored the blood gushing out of his mouth, and looked forward with concentration, his eyes couldn't see clearly, Captain Gao blinked anxiously, and rubbed his hands when he still couldn't see clearly, His eyes were full of sand, blood filled his eye sockets, two bloodstains flowed from his cheeks, and his hands were already sticky.

Company Commander Gao grabbed a handful of dirt, took advantage of the moment when his eyes could see clearly, raised his gun and shot at the enemy, but he was seriously injured, his vision was disappearing, and blood continued to flow from his facial features, and his ears He couldn't even hear the sound of the guns, and could only feel the vibration of the position under his body through his senses.

After being wounded, Company Commander Gao did not disturb the other soldiers, and continued to shoot tenaciously with the submachine gun. After emptying the bullet, he fumbled on the ground and body with both hands, felt the clip, felt the bullet inside, and held on to that feeling Replace the magazine, hold the gun and shoot at the enemy again.

After the war, when the soldiers found Commander Gao, he had already died. A large number of bullet casings fell around him, and even reloaded bullets were found in some magazines. Those bullets were actually just stuffed into go to the eggshell
The leader of the platoon was sacrificed under the enemy's artillery fire. The figure of the platoon leader could not be seen in the trench, only some fragments of clothes were seen. The enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, and the soldiers withstood the enemy's attack. Offensive, but unable to withstand the enemy's bombing.

Even with such a reduction in combat personnel, the few remaining soldiers in the first and second platoons still withstood the last wave of the enemy's offensive before the sun rose above their heads.

The hazy sunlight penetrated the thick gunpowder smoke, and when it fell on the position, it was almost invisible. When a shell fell, there was no shadow of sunlight, only the gunpowder smoke filled the air, a piece of scorched earth, and a position full of a lot of shrapnel.

In the magazine, the last bullet was ejected, piercing the body of a retreating American soldier. Xia Yuan put away his gun and looked at the retreating American soldiers like a tide. The sunlight that came in was like this battlefield, extremely depressing.

Standing on the forward position, there were only volunteer soldiers in twos and threes. After the enemy left a large number of corpses on the forward position, they fled in desperation.
