The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 149 The Situation Facing The Unchangeable Situation
Xia Yuan slightly raised his head and looked at the sky covered in smoke and dust. Along with the roar, he saw the enemy's bomber group appearing from the distant sky. In the sky above, above the hazy clouds, planes appeared in the sky above Shangganling.

A large number of artillery shells and napalm bombs poured down like rain, and accompanied by ear-piercing screams, clusters of gorgeous flames burst out on the Shangganling position. From a distance, the flames soared into the sky and enveloped the entire mountain. There were raging flames everywhere, and billowing black smoke rose ten feet high.

In the U.S. military camp, those soldiers who were eating lunch looked up at the bombed Shangganling in the distance. Black smoke billowed and spread, and such a spectacular scene could be seen from a distance.

A soldier was eating lunch and said: "I hope to kill them, so that our attack in the afternoon will be much smoother."

Another soldier drank his coffee and said, "Who says it's not? Today we attacked an enemy with great marksmanship. Our ace sniper team was all killed by him alone, and they didn't even have the enemy's shadow." Didn't see it, fuck!"

The big soldier sipped his coffee and cursed.

The U.S. military on the opposite side persuaded: "Calm down, buddy, maybe he has been killed by our planes and artillery now."

The soldier sighed: "I hope, because the target of our company's attack this afternoon is still that devil's position, I hope I can drink coffee with you."

Shangganling was shrouded in a sea of ​​flames. The soldiers hid in the trenches. The napalm bomb explosion was accompanied by the torrent formed by the rolling heat wave. It exploded on the position like a hurricane, and the sand and stones flew. ignite.

The heat wave was rolling in, and the pungent gasoline smell hit the nose and mouth.

The soldiers lay in the trenches, covering their mouths and noses with their sleeves, watching the flames billowing outside spread to the bunker. Some guns suffered, were baked by the fire, and were quickly damaged. Fortunately, there were still many guns in the trenches. Guns and ammunition survived.

The enemy's bombing was over. Squad Leader Hu hid in the trench and got his head out. A ball of fire scorched his hair. He quickly patted it with his hands, looked up at the bunker covered by flames, and quickly grabbed the engineer shovel to shovel the sand. Covering the burning flames and waiting for the flames to be extinguished, he touched a light machine gun with some distress.

"Grandma's, the guns are all burnt out. These foreign devils just blow up the corpses of their own people, and they don't even let go of the things they produce."

Squad Leader Hu cursed and cursed, holding the hot sand in his hand, pushed aside the bullets inside, blew on it with his mouth, wiped it on his body, and put it in the ammunition box half-covered by the sand in the trench.

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground and got out the grenades and ammunition boxes buried in the sand.

It's getting late, and the enemy's new round of offensive will arrive soon.

At about one o'clock, the enemy's offensive really started, and the enemies all over the mountains and plains were like locusts again. A new round of battle started, and this time the battle was even more fierce. Already physically and mentally exhausted, especially with the rounds of artillery fire from the enemy, most soldiers died under the coverage of dense artillery fire.

Including the No. [-] frontier position, more than ten shells landed on the bunker where Xia Yuan and Squad Leader Hu were hiding. With more than half of the casualties, Xia Yuan broke several of the guns he used when fighting the enemy, requiring constant replacement of ammunition.

The enemy attacked again and again, broke into the forward positions again and again, and was beaten down by the soldiers' counterattacks again and again.

Squad leader Hu was seriously injured in the fight with the enemy. Xia Yuan repeatedly asked him to withdraw from the battle. Squad leader Hu flatly refused. Platoon leader Sun still completely blocked the enemy's attack even though his legs were blown off. The bullet is sent into the enemy's body, and finally dies with the enemy.

As a party member and a volunteer soldier, he has already made such an awareness.

It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so early. The enemy attacked the forward position again. He dragged his injured body to fight the enemy. Finally, the bullets and grenades were gone, so he threw stones at them. Squad leader Hu was already exhausted lying on the bunker, still holding the stone in his hand. When he heard the sound of the enemy coming up, he still braced himself and fought the enemy.

But the injury on his body was too serious. Once again, the enemy's attack was repelled. Squad leader Hu knew that he was running out of time. He took Xia Yuan's hand, looked at Xia Yuan with blurred eyes, and said, "Don't let me go!" Cry, you have now become a squad leader and a glorious volunteer soldier, how can you cry."

Looking at the smoldering battlefield, he said with great regret and weakness: "Unfortunately, I will never see the day when the battle is won. After I left, I was buried in Shangganling. I want to look at Shangganling, see to the day of victory."

Squad leader Hu seemed to have completed his mission, and there was only one third-squad soldier left beside him, with tears in his eyes.

The wind blows the gunpowder smoke over Shangganling, stirring it slowly, but like a dead pool, the ripples disappear.

Gunpowder smoke drifted slowly, Xia Yuan buried Squad Leader Hu and Platoon Leader Sun together, on the top of the hill, you can see Shangganling.

Such a tug-of-war lasted for a whole day on Shangganling No. [-] position. After an afternoon of bloody battles, there was only one soldier left on the right side. The third squad leader also died on the way to charge. Squad leader Hu is still in good condition. Yes, the remains of most soldiers have not been found, and some only found a pair of shoes.

"There are only three of us left. Even if there are only three of us, we still have to withstand the enemy's attack. I am the squad leader here, so you just follow my command, how about it?"

Facing the two soldiers who were younger than himself, Xia Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the battlefield in the distance: "Collect all the weapons and ammunition that can be collected, the more the quantity The better, the more means more beneficial to the next battle!"

"This time, let's revise our battle plan and stick to it. The three of us will never be able to defend against the enemy's ferocious attack. At most, we will retreat a few times. However, under the enemy's bombardment, we will die soon. This time we changed combat strategy."

Xia Yuan looked down the mountain and said: "The enemy left a large number of corpses on the road after all, and that position is also a position that the enemy's artillery rarely bombs. After the bombardment is over, touch the position to block it, so that we will spend less time being bombarded by the enemy and can greatly improve our own survival rate."

The two fighters nodded.

He added: "And there are also weapons and equipment left by the enemy there, we can touch them and replenish ourselves."

They are basically running out of ammunition and food. Xia Yuan only has three shuttles and eight bullets left on his body, and there are five bullets left in the magazine. The number of bullets on the other two soldiers is not enough More than twenty, the grenades are used up, and the grenades touched from the enemy are used up.

And the corpse that was too late to touch was annihilated under the enemy's artillery fire. The battle to this extent can already be said to be quite tragic.

Considering the possibility of observers at the enemy's front, Xia Yuan asked the soldiers to use the bomb craters, the enemy's corpses, and some mountain protrusions as cover, carefully pass through the front position, and grope forward.

Soon, they touched a pile of enemy corpses.

"Squad leader Xia, the bullet bags on their bodies have been taken away by the enemy." After searching the corpses of the three enemies, the little soldier named Sun Jiazheng did not find many bullets, especially the bullets on their bodies They were all touched.

Facing this situation, Xia Yuan said: "There are still bullets in his gun, withdraw all that can be withdrawn, and collect as much as possible. It is impossible for all the ammunition on their bodies to be taken away, and only a small part was taken away."

Sure enough, they quickly found a lot of bullet bags and grenades on the enemy's corpse, which gave Sun Jiazheng and Wang Shu a lot of confidence in the two soldiers of the Seventh Company.

Xia Yuan held a gun in the back, covering the two of them. After an afternoon of fighting, they also knew something about this 'Squad Leader Xia'. He was the legendary recruit from the Ninth Company. , became famous in the first battle, killed more than [-] enemies by one person, covered his comrades and bombed two enemy bunkers, successfully annihilated the Korean army on the unnamed highland, and seized a large number of weapons and equipment.

The second time was even more legendary. Only one soldier from the reconnaissance squad wiped out all the U.S. troops on Cangshan Mountain in Xiaganling, but only two soldiers from the reconnaissance squad were slightly injured, and a large amount of weapons and equipment and living supplies were seized. Awarded by the whole army, he is a well-known combat hero, and each company calls him a 'Legendary Recruit'!
Many recruits who had just left the country to join the war followed him as an example.

He is a living hero!

And the battle in the afternoon gave the soldiers of the third squad a deeper understanding of this "legendary recruit". All the guns he held were never empty, and all the directions he stood on were covered with enemy corpses. , he can always refresh their understanding of the combat level of this legendary recruit with a powerful posture.

During this period of time, the soldiers of the third class basically regard him as the soul mission of Shangganling No. [-] position. With him in the position, they can always easily achieve counterattack effects that are unexpected by everyone. With him, all the soldiers Morale has never been higher, and they can fight the enemy with peace of mind.

They stepped on the enemy's corpse and came to Xia Yuan's bunker.

Wang Shu took off a string of bullet bags hanging from his body and handed them to Xia Yuan: "Squad Leader Xia, here, here are some bullets for you."

Xia Yuan put away his gun, and the three of them divided all the bullets equally behind the cover. The original number of [-] rounds of bullets in three magazines has now increased to [-] rounds, and the number of grenades is very small. Just four grenades.

Xia Yuan put the bullets on the ground, took out the empty clips one by one from his pocket, squeezed the bullets into the clips with gauze-wrapped hands, pressed eight bullets, and put them in the bullet pouch on his body.

The three of them didn't speak, they were all packing their things.

Suddenly there was the scream of enemy shells in the sky, blooming everywhere in the rear position.

A new round of enemy shelling began.

By this time, it was already sunset.

Xia Yuan looked up at the dusk in the distance, recalled the most ferocious attack by the enemy at dusk yesterday, and said, "The next day will be over soon, and the last wave of the enemy's attack will begin."

He put the stuffed magazine on his body, shook the soil on the gun, and said: "Get ready, the last bloody battle is about to begin."

Facing the setting sun in the distant mountains, Xia Yuan has scabs on his bruised cheeks, his skin has become dark and dark, and the gunpowder smoke, distant mountains and setting sun are reflected in his eyes. Even though he is from the future, even if he has mastered the system, facing such a war , human beings are so small.

This is a situation that cannot be changed.

On the second day of the Shangganling battle, many familiar people disappeared one by one around him. This is a pain that cannot be felt in modern society. His heart seems to be torn apart over and over again. The pain of practicing martial arts has never been It made him cry, but on Shangganling, he cried countless times.

Maybe one day I will sacrifice myself, but victory must belong to us, and the sun of tomorrow must belong to the volunteers!

Holding the gun in his hand, Xia Yuan quickly arranged the final battle order, "The enemy's last wave of offensive, hold on, the battle is over, the enemy at night will not attack again, we can't hold on, we."

Sun Jiazheng's dark cheeks and bright eyes said, "Squad Leader Xia, what do you say, we will listen to you!"

Wang Shu was holding the gun. Although he didn't speak, his actions had already shown his attitude. He pulled the bolt, his eyes were firm, and he was ready.

Xia Yuan glanced across the entire battlefield, and secretly vowed that no matter what, he would hold his ground.

In Tunnel No. [-], Company Commander Feng paced back and forth anxiously. Seeing Wang Yongmeng running back from the tunnel, he hurried up and asked, "How is the situation now?"

Wang Yongmeng gasped heavily, with panic on his face, "Company Commander Feng, it's big, something is wrong."

Company Commander Feng took the kettle, "Come on, drink some water, and speak slowly."

Wang Yongmeng took a sip, and said: "Commander Feng! The seventh position was lost, the No. 11 position was lost, the second position was lost, and the eighth position was also lost. A large number of enemy troops are moving to the first position. At a glance, there are a lot of them, at least the strength of a battalion!"

"what!"

Company Commander Feng was shocked.

All the soldiers in the tunnel stood up.

"Company commander, let's go! We've been fighting for a day, and we're still sitting in the tunnel, doing nothing!"

"Yes, yes, company commander, let us go up, we will fight the enemy! Take back the lost position!"

The soldiers stood up one after another, even those with bandages on their heads and those with minor injuries shouted one by one. The enthusiasm for fighting was unprecedentedly high. The more excited the soldiers were, the more tormented Company Commander Feng felt, and he gritted his teeth. , Immediately said: "Second row, the first and second squads resist the incoming troops from the direction of the eighth position, and the third squad reinforces the ninth company at the front of the position!"

"Yes!"

Just as the soldiers were about to set off, the phone in the tunnel rang suddenly.
