The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 142 Put away your tears and turn the grief in your heart into our stronger strength!

Its daybreak.

In the early morning, the enemy's most violent offensive stopped temporarily. Through the gradually dissipating morning mist, Xia Yuan saw the rising smoke from the enemy's position. They were lighting a fire to cook, while the enemy's artillery continued to fall on the position. U.S. bombers were still circling in the sky and strafing, dropping bombs one after another.

"Platoon Leader Sun, the company commander and the first platoon leader all died."

A platoon of soldiers ran over with a crying voice, and Platoon Leader Sun was startled. When the soldiers approached, he saw the corpse of Company Commander Gao crawling on the bunker of the trench, still holding a submachine gun in his hand. , with magazines and bullet casings scattered all over the floor, and bloodstains on his dark face.

Sacrifice, but still maintain a fighting posture.

Platoon Leader Sun raised his head slowly, with tears in his eyes, he stepped forward, suppressing the grief in his heart, straightened Company Commander Gao's body, straightened his clothes, squatted on the ground and took off his hat, and the surrounding soldiers They all took off their hats.

Xia Yuan was holding a gun and a hat in his hand, with tears in his eyes.

Niu Xingcai cried: "Commander Gao also died."

"Don't cry!" Platoon Leader Sun stood up and wiped away the tears on his face, "We haven't won yet, and the battle is not over yet. If Company Commander Gao is still alive, and see us like this, what do we look like? With tears in your eyes, turn the grief in your heart into a stronger force for us! Now, there is no first row, no second row, only nine companies!"

He raised his voice and shouted: "Collect the weapons and ammunition on the position, and build a bunker fortification! Hurry up!"

Xia Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in his heart, and said to Niu Xingcai and Wang Shoudao: "Commander Gao died, we can't continue to grieve, we should turn our grief into motivation and continue to stick to our position."

His voice became lower and harsher. At this moment, he was no longer a time traveler, but a Chinese People's Volunteer.

"That's death in battle. We also want to stand on the ground and use our corpses to become a high wall that stops the enemy from advancing!"

Platoon Leader Sun said: "Comrade Xia Yuan is right! Turn grief into motivation, use our corpses to become a high wall to stop the enemy's advance!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers yelled hoarsely, and there were only a dozen soldiers left in the first and second rows. They were on the ground, taking away the guns and ammunition from the enemy's corpses, and taking away everything that could be used.

Xia Yuan touched the foreign devil's pocket and took out three pieces of chewing gum. He was stunned for a moment and touched a lot of corpses. He gradually understood that the foreign devil carried only a small amount of weapons and ammunition on his body for this kind of tough battle, basically nothing to eat. The enemy's command The official also knew in his heart that volunteer soldiers liked to touch corpses. After all, they had been fighting for two years. Especially in winter, the volunteer army would leave the enemy naked in the snow. The main reason was that the volunteer soldiers' logistics supplies were scarce.

Therefore, the food and ammunition carried on the body will eventually become the enemy's supplies. Therefore, before the US military attacks, it will leave the things on the body and only carry a small amount of ammunition, which is enough for use.

It was an unexpected joy to touch three pieces of chewing gum. Now the enemy's artillery fire is still raging in Shangganling. I don't know when it will stop, let alone when the supplies from the rear will be sent to the front position. The amount of three pieces of chewing gum is not much. Can solve urgent needs.

Xia Yuan curled up in the crater, tore apart three pieces of chewing gum, divided them into small portions, and gave some to Lao Li, "Deputy squad leader, this is the foreign devil's chewing gum, give it to other soldiers, chew it in your mouth, it can restore some physical strength."

The calories of chewing gum can supplement a small amount of physical energy of the soldiers. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it is better than nothing.

"Hey, did you get this from a foreign devil?" Lao Li rubbed his dark hands on his unclean clothes, and shouted, "Old Hu, Lao Hu, come and taste it, the chewing gum seized by Xia Yuan .”

He stood up and came to Squad Leader Hu, and gave him a small piece of chewing gum. Old Hu put down the engineering shovel in his hand, stuffed the gum into his mouth, and chewed for a while: "It's so sweet, I used to eat this stuff in the rear I’ve been there, just like glue, I don’t know how this foreign devil does it.”

"In the future, our country will also make this stuff to eat." Lao Li smiled, and came to Platoon Leader Sun again, "Platoon Leader, try the foreign devil's chewing gum."

Platoon Leader Sun, who was digging the trench, straightened up, "Yes, where did you capture it?"

Old Li said: "Squad Leader Xia got it from the foreign devil."

Platoon Leader Sun chewed the gum in his mouth and shouted: "Move faster and clean up the battlefield. The foreign devils will not let it go. We must be nailed to the position like a nail. A day or two!"

At this time, a squad from the Seventh Company in the rear led some supplies to the forward position and found Platoon Leader Sun, "Report to Platoon Leader Sun, I am the squad leader of the Seventh Company, one row and one squad, here are the weapons, ammunition and supplies you need." Some food, and we are also ordered by the company commander to stay on the ground to help you."

The squad leader looked at the soldiers who were building fortifications on the ground. There were more than 50 soldiers in the tunnel. Even if they were separated, there should be more than 30 soldiers here, and now there are only a dozen or so soldiers left. People, just a squad of soldiers.

Platoon Leader Sun said: "Thank you, you came too timely, Squad Leader Hu, distribute the food to the soldiers, let the soldiers eat something first, to fill their stomachs, the enemy is also eating at the moment, wait for them to finish eating, It is estimated that they will launch a fierce attack on our army's forward positions again, and they will not let it go."

Squad leader Hu sighed, put down the engineering shovel, and ran over to cooperate with the soldiers of the first squad to distribute some biscuits and canned food to the soldiers on the ground.

"Don't be so busy, come and eat something, and then continue working after eating. Xia Yuan, take a rest first and eat something."

"Hey."

With a gun on his back, Xia Yuan stuck the engineer shovel into the ground, facing the shells that might fall on his head at any time, and sat in the trench. Squad leader Hu sat beside him. They chatted while eating food One day, squad leader Hu saw that Xia Yuan had finished eating the food in two or three bites, so he handed him the food in his hand.

Xia Yuan looked at Squad Leader Hu, and Squad Leader Hu smiled: "Eat, you are growing, you should eat more."

Xia Yuan shook his head, but Squad Leader Hu stuffed the biscuit into his hand, bit the remaining half of the biscuit and got up to leave. When he left, he looked back at Xia Yuan: "I'll kill more enemies later!"

Xia Yuan looked at the half biscuit in his hand. He was really hungry, so he put it in his mouth and ate half of the biscuit. After eating, he continued to strengthen the fortifications.

After a while, the enemy's shelling suddenly intensified, more violent than before, especially the forward positions, which were "taken care of" by the foreign devils' artillery. The fortifications that were originally half a person's height quickly submerged to the knees.

Soldiers can only withstand the enemy's artillery fire and rush to repair the blown-up fortifications, in order to ensure the integrity of the forward position before the enemy's attack arrives.

At this time, the dense fog in the mountains has dissipated, and the vision of many soldiers has become wider. After nearly an hour of rest, the enemy reappeared in the field of vision, and their number was more important than the organized enemies in the early morning. There are too many to count carefully, but through the enemy's offensive like locusts, it can be basically inferred that the number of enemies is at least one reinforced battalion.

Xia Yuan took a deep breath. In order to win the No. [-] position, the enemy entangled with a reinforced battalion. With such a frenzied behavior, even if he knew the next change in the situation, he would feel that the burden on his body became heavy. Put the ammunition boxes of bullets and grenades on the bunker so that you can easily reach out and grab them.

Platoon Leader Sun knew Xia Yuan's shooting and bombing skills, so he gave Xia Yuan enough ammunition to support him, and gave him three big eights. Sun Gong's position was replaced by Wang Shou. He put the three guns beside him Fill up all the bullets, put them where you can touch them, and poke your head out cautiously. The enemies all over the mountains and plains in the distance are like locusts. To grope forward, to push forward.

There are a large number of enemy attacking troops in front of the position, and the enemy's continuous artillery fire is falling behind. The US aircraft continuously dropped napalm bombs in the sky, turning Shangganling into a sea of ​​fire, and the fierce burning flames baked the ground into a piece of scorched earth. .

Accompanied by the blazing flames and the roar of falling artillery shells, the enemy's offensive in the morning showed its fangs. There were about two platoons of troops on the right side of the No. [-] position, and they were scattered in the forward position. The distribution is to effectively prevent the enemy from taking away the TV images of many people in one shot.

Wang Shou unscrewed all the caps of the grenades and put them in front of the bunker. On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, he saw the enemies all over the mountains and plains.

"Squad leader, at least the strength of a battalion." Wang Shou retracted and said, "In order to capture our mountain, the enemy has worked hard."

Xia Yuan didn't say a word, he put the bullets in the clips and put them on his body, then he stood up carefully, lay down behind the cover, stared at the enemy who touched him from a distance, and put the gun in front of him .

There are only about [-] soldiers left on the right side of the entire No. [-] position. It is almost impossible to resist the attack of a battalion of the enemy, but it is such an impossibility that the volunteer soldiers have created one miracle after another.

On the second day of the Shangganling battle, after integrating the wrong actions of the first day's offensive plan, the U.S. military bombarded Shangganling more violently. According to Van Vleet's wishes, he wanted to make any life on Shangganling disappear. Among the artillery fire, there was no offensive mission on the 537.7 highland. In just one morning, the enemy's offensive force composed of four battalions, from the left, middle and right directions, under the cover of aircraft, artillery and tanks, followed the morning offensive. After the end, the American morning offensive began.

Four battalions, more than 1000 people, in addition to heavy firepower, each company of the U.S. military is equipped with a large number of special U.S. troops such as walkie-talkie infantry, recoilless guns, flamethrowers, etc. The soldiers of the company launched a fierce attack.

The No. [-] position on the main peak encountered an attack from a reinforced battalion of the enemy. If the main peak was captured, it would be able to radiate the positions on both sides. This is the most unfavorable situation for our army, so Xia Yuan was able to clearly I saw that the main peak had turned into a sea of ​​flames, and there was almost no place to hide, but when the enemy rushed to the front position, the sound of machine guns was uploaded from the main peak.

At the front of the No. [-] position, the enemy has already touched it. Only the soldiers of the four remaining squads launched a fierce attack on the enemy. Machine guns, submachine guns, and grenades bombarded the enemy. Xia Yuan continued to shoot and kill the enemy through sniping. U.S. soldiers with guns, recoilless guns on their shoulders, walkie-talkies on their backs, sniper rifles, and lieutenants of the U.S. military. Bullets swished through the crowd and accurately penetrated the enemy's chest.

This is the first time Wang Shou has seen the squad leader's sniper ability. In his hands, the big eight grains have exerted great power. The semi-automatic rifle does not need to be pulled. When aiming and pulling the trigger, Wang Shou can only hear Xia Yuan pulling the trigger continuously. The trigger, eight gunshots, he raised his head to look at the enemy group, and saw the last bullet penetrated the enemy's head, with a shocked expression on his face.

"Why are you standing still? Squeeze the bullets!" Xia Yuan threw the gun with the empty magazine to him, grabbed a gun with the loaded bullets in it, and pulled the trigger continuously. The bullets effectively killed the special arms of the enemy. Afterwards, it was ordinary soldiers who killed the enemy, and soldiers from other squads in the front line fired and covered firepower. Xia Yuan's personal ability was greatly expanded.

But that's all. The enemy's recoilless guns, flamethrowers, snipers and other special arms were shot and killed, which greatly relieved the pressure on the soldiers on the forward positions.

Squad Leader Hu patted the body of Fifty Chong's gun, threw it on the ground, picked up the carbine on the ground, and pulled the trigger at the enemy continuously. Lao Li and Platoon Leader Sun were machine gunners, manipulating light machine guns to continuously shoot at the enemy. When they were helping Xia Yuan reduce their own fire suppression, Xia Yuan was helping them. After solving the recoilless guns and flamethrowers, the enemy's ability to break points was greatly weakened, and they could only use infantry to throw grenades to the forward position.

Only more than 20 meters away from the forward position, the enemy hid in the crater and shot at the volunteers behind the bunker. The two sides launched a shooting tug-of-war at a distance of close to 30 meters. The battlefield where bullets flew randomly, if you are not careful, you will be killed. After piercing through the head, the grenade grenade exploded on the positions of both sides, and the broken shrapnel splashed everywhere.

"Xia Yuan!! Blow them out for me!"

Due to the enemy's superiority in numbers, relying on semi-automatic rifles, even without light machine guns, the enemy can form a dense firepower network. This advantage over guns is soon revealed, and the soldiers in the trenches can only hear the enemy's bullets whizzing Whoosh flew over the top of the head, but did not dare to pop out rashly.

And in the rear of the enemy, a water-cooled heavy machine gun was set up. On the water-cooled heavy machine gun, there were multiple scopes aiming at it. The operator of the heavy machine gun looked at the volunteers on the forward position through the scope, and they pulled the trigger. , The bullets of the water-cooled heavy machine gun formed a gorgeous chain of fire, pouring from a few hundred meters away to the top of the mountain.

The tanks parked at the foot of the mountain continued to bombard the mountain. The bullets of the enemy's self-propelled machine guns hit the mountain with a bang, and they forced a crater that could only be blown out by a grenade. The enemy has already used all the means available Without using it at all, at [-] o'clock in the morning, an unprecedented attack on Shangganling was launched.
