The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 156 Difficult Battle (1)

The enemy was approaching menacingly. When they were only 20 meters away, the squad leader yelled "fight" and threw a grenade at the enemy's counterattack troops. Rows of enemies fell to the ground, and the enemies behind reacted quickly and fell to the ground all at once.

The smoke from the grenade dissipated, leaving more than a dozen corpses of the US counterattack team on the ground.

"Squad leader, it's all reimbursed!" A soldier shouted excitedly.

"Be careful, cover Comrade Xia Yuan's attack, Li Daotian, watch out for the counterattack troops behind the enemy!" The squad leader ordered, staring fixedly at the suppressed Xia Yuan, who couldn't move, and shells fell on Xia Yuan one after another. in the direction.

He is now in a state of isolation and helplessness. There are US troops in the front and back. The enemy's 60 mortar shells fall around, constantly rolling up a large amount of soil, almost burying him, the ground is constantly shaking, and the palms are pressed in the soil. It's all shrapnel.

After activating the calm skill, Xia Yuan was very calm, waiting for opportunities.

A group of soldiers are also not idle, they have been creating opportunities for Xia Yuan, but each opportunity created is very short, the fire suppression of light machine guns and heavy machine guns is completely unequal, under such circumstances, Rao A squad with several light machine guns can hardly overwhelm the enemy in terms of firepower.

What's more, the enemy's recoilless guns and 60mm mortars kept beating in front of their bunkers, the sand was raised, and the mud mixed with shrapnel kept falling.

Company Commander Feng spat out the sand in his mouth, and cursed secretly: "This is not going to work, the enemy has already discovered Xia Yuan's location, and completely suppressed him so that he cannot move, and continue to create opportunities for Xia Yuan!"

On the left and right sides, the heavy firepower formed by the enemy's machine gun bunkers continued to shoot and collide over Xia Yuan's bunker, and the bullets puffed into the soil in front of his head, forming a pincer attack. Xia Yuan, who had turned on the cheat, could not act rashly, all his hopes rested on a group of soldiers.

"Squad leader, blow up the bunker!"

The ruthless Company Commander Feng realized that he had to issue a combat order, either to abandon Xia Yuan and continue to move forward, or to send a soldier from the blasting team to give priority to blowing up the firepower point closest to them, so as to create an environment for Xia Yuan to escape.

The soldiers Yang Ming, Chen Xuedong, and Liao Wangyun who were sent to destroy the enemy's bunkers were the top fighters in the second platoon and the first squad. They bombed the tanks of the reactionaries and survived. .

Three people formed a blasting team, each carrying a blasting tube, and under the cover of a group of soldiers, they crawled out of the bunker, rolled on the ground, and kept approaching the enemy.

This kind of attack is almost equivalent to a suicide attack, and the factor affected by the terrain is definitely the biggest. The position from the ridge to the position is the high ridge, the enemy is in a low-lying area, and the attack is launched from top to bottom. There are very few bunkers that can be avoided, even bomb craters , and can only be in a crouched posture, and there are no enemy trenches.

There is no doubt that this is to use the lives of the three of them to buy time for Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan had already noticed the order from Company Commander Feng. When the three soldiers rushed out of the bunker with the blasting tubes, he already knew what Company Commander Feng was going to do.

He gritted his teeth, pulled up a grenade, and slammed it out against the enemy's dense barrage of bullets. The grenade exploded above the enemy's bunker. The violent vibration shocked the U.S. troops in the bunker. ring up.

A series of bullets swished and hit the crater where Xia Yuan was, forcing him to curl up again.

"Can't wait for them to create opportunities for themselves!"

Xia Yuan gritted his teeth, kept thinking in his mind, took out a grenade again, recalled the approximate location of the enemy's machine gun bunker in front of him in his mind, then lay on his back, looked at the grenade in his hand, his eyes became firm, he rang The grenade, counting silently, flung it backward with all its might.

The grenade crossed the sky, and under the eyes of a group of soldiers, it landed on the enemy's bunker and exploded again. The explosion of the two grenades made the enemy's slightly crude bunker loose. Sandbags of soil, the explosion of the grenade tore up the sandbags above, rolling up a piece of black soil.

"Almost! Almost!!" Company Commander Feng stared wide-eyed, looking at Xia Yuan in the crater in disbelief.

This kid is blind! ?

It even almost blew up the enemy's bunker!

In the hail of bullets, Xia Yuan vaguely heard the voice of Company Commander Feng shouting not far away, and realized that he had used too much force just now, and calculated again, holding a grenade in his hand, hooking his fingers on the pull wire, and pulling it away again Throw it behind you.

Under the eyes of the soldiers, the grenade spun across the sky, and their gazes followed the grenade. The grenade landed steadily in front of the enemy's machine gun bunker and exploded violently, accompanied by a roar. There was a loud noise, and the gunpowder smoke spread out.

The machine gun bunker, which was only [-] meters away from the three demolition fighters, misfired, and no fire came out from under the machine gun bunker. The soldiers realized that Xia Yuan had succeeded! !
Chen Xuedong is the team leader of the blasting team. With an order, they quickly jumped out of the bunker, shouted "Long live Xia Yuan", and rushed towards the front of the enemy's bunker with the blasting tube. The moment the bullet weakened, he immediately jumped out of the crater and rolled to one side, avoiding the straight-line bullet trajectory.

The enemy suddenly found Xia Yuan running out, and a series of bullets chased him until Xia Yuan plunged into another crater, and the bullets swished into the soil on the ground.

After Xia Yuan calmly disappeared, his heart was beating violently. He stretched out his hands to press his heart, not only his heart, but also the honor bars of the soldiers of the Ninth Company and the soldiers of the Seventh Company. Every honor bar is inspiring Follow him, keep going, going, going!

The bullets above his head continued, and suddenly he heard a cry.

Liao Wangyun!
Xia Yuan was startled suddenly, looked up and saw Liao Wangyun was charging, the bullet pierced his body, and with the blood flowing, he lay on the ground, gritted his teeth, and let the blood flow out of his body, Climb to the enemy's bunker and stuff the blasting barrel into the enemy's machine gun bunker.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the blasting tube exploded and the entire bunker was blown away.

With tears in their eyes, Yang Ming and Chen Xuedong gritted their teeth and charged into the enemy's broken bunker pit, occupying the enemy's first firepower point. Yang Ming bit his lip and stared angrily at the enemy's firepower point, "We will Avenged him!"

Occupying the enemy's first machine gun bunker, the pressure on a group of soldiers and Xia Yuan suddenly decreased. Yang Ming and Chen Xuedong used the bullet craters left by the enemy's firepower points to shoot at the enemy's firepower points one by one on the ground. The two attracted the enemy's firepower. A series of bullets shot over, hitting the soil in front of the two of them.

In the hazy early morning, the battle started in the early morning until the fog in the mountains dissipated. On the No. 60 position, only the sound of gunshots and grenade explosions, as well as the sound of enemy [-] mortar shells falling, the soldiers in the tunnel were anxious waiting for the news of the victory of the battle.

The battle was intense, and the gunshots were loud and continuous.

Soldiers from the second squad and the third squad called for the battle one after another.

"Instructor, let us go up! Let's go to reinforce the company commander and catch them off guard!"

"We're all dying."

The soldiers gathered in the tunnel, the deputy squad leader of the second squad and the squad leader of the third squad found the instructor, and they all talked about asking for a fight.

The instructor said: "Everyone, don't be impatient, observer, observer, how is the situation in the tunnel ahead?"

"Instructor, the US military outside the tunnel has stopped attacking the tunnel entrance." The observer came down from above and said.

"The enemy has stopped attacking the tunnel entrance, which means that they have no time to govern the tunnel entrance. The second squad stays on standby, and the third squad brings weapons and ammunition. They set off from the tunnel entrance on the reverse slope to reinforce the first squad. Be careful and hide yourself first. Observe the enemy's situation, observe the position of the first squad, and try to outflank it from the flank!"

The instructor quickly issued combat orders, the battle of the first squad had been going on for almost an hour, and the amount of ammunition carried by the soldiers of the first squad was completely insufficient to last such a long battle.

Let the third squad go up to reinforce, but also think twice.

The soldiers of the third squad quickly rectified in the tunnel, took weapons and ammunition, and gathered at the entrance of the tunnel on the reverse slope. The wounded cheered for the fighters of the third squad who were about to fight. Under the flash of artillery fire, their dirty cheeks were reflected.

There was light in their eyes, and under the order of the third squad of soldiers, more than a dozen soldiers quickly attacked and marched towards the ridge.

The battle on the surface was extremely fierce. The battle between a battalion and a squad was too big. Rao Xia Yuan destroyed two enemy firepower points in a row, but the enemy quickly built a new firepower point in the rear. The only heavy firepower of our soldiers is light machine guns, while the enemy's heavy firepower includes bazookas, recoilless guns, 60 mortars, and various light and heavy machine guns.

The machine gun bunkers built by the enemy also became a barrier to the advance of a group.

Under the cover of a group of soldiers, Xia Yuan successfully broke through the enemy's fire blockade and came to the firepower point captured by Yang Ming and Chen Xuedong. The general soldiers behind him were responsible for covering and shooting.

"Comrade Xia Yuan, the enemy's firepower is too fierce. While we are blowing up the bunker, the enemy is building a bunker in the rear position."

Yang Ming was hit by the enemy's bullets and had to curl up in the bunker, holding his head and shouting.

Xia Yuan used his eagle eyes to observe. In the rear of the enemy, the soldiers were quickly digging bunkers and building machine gun bunkers. After retracting, he looked at the two of them. The eyes of Yang Ming and Chen Xuedong were still glowing red. , obviously still very sad for Liao Wangyun's sacrifice.

"The deployment of the enemy's troops in the position is a battalion. It is normal to build bunkers during the battle. If we have a large number of counterattack troops, it is obviously impossible for the enemy to build bunkers."

Xia Yuan is holding a gun, and there are not many grenades on his body. It is actually understandable for the US military engineers to build bunkers.

It was already dawn, and our army's counterattack troops were directly exposed to the enemy's guns. One squad faced one battalion. No matter how strong the combat effectiveness was, they broke through several enemy bunkers in a row, and the enemy's firepower covered them in series. Without heavy fire suppression, it is still difficult to repel this wave of US assaults, and even US engineers can safely build bunkers in the rear.

Xia Yuan set up the Big Eight, aimed at the engineers behind the enemy, and said, "Leave these people to me and leave the grenades on your bodies. It is basically impossible to succeed in this counterattack."

The enemy has already occupied the surface of the position, especially the forward position, and wants to repel the enemy, unless it cooperates with the rear artillery cover to carry out a large-scale counterattack.But at present, he knows in his heart that our army is stockpiling artillery shells, and will launch an artillery attack on Shangganling on the 19th and a counterattack by large forces.

After NO.19 is over, the troops will completely switch to tunnel operations and start a long tug-of-war with the enemy until the second counterattack arrives.

Xia Yuan knows in his heart that he is powerless to change all of this, but one thing can be expected, that is, this large-scale counterattack may be brought forward.

Because our army obtained the enemy's intelligence in advance, the commander of the 15th Army had already started hoarding shells as early as after obtaining the information, waiting for an opportunity.

What they can do now is to rely on a small number of troops to fight "guerrilla" with the enemy, wipe out the enemy's vital forces as much as possible, and prepare for a major counterattack in the future.

The sound of the big eight bullets was quite crisp, and eight bullets were ejected from the chamber. The big soldier carrying the sandbag tilted his head and fell to the ground, and then seven consecutive bullets hit different parts of the enemy engineer's body. The U.S. military engineers turned pale with fright, lying down on the ground one after another, and some turned directly into the bomb crater holding their guns.

"Okay!" Yang Ming's eyes widened, and he shouted, he pointed his gun at the enemy fiercely, and when the enemy fired a series of bullets, he quickly retracted into the bunker.

Chen Xuedong shouted: "Comrade Xia Yuan, your marksmanship is really good!"

Xia Yuan loaded the magazine and said: "Practice makes perfect, and you will do it in the future!"

He stood up again and lay down in the bunker. After opening the eagle eye, he could clearly see the enemy in the bunker. After aiming, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet fired, passing through the gap in the enemy's bunker, and piercing through the soldiers manipulating the machine gun. The steel helmet lay heavily on the ground, and a soldier beside him didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly took over from the dead machine gunner and fired at the volunteer soldiers on the ridge.

As soon as the heavy machine gun fired, Chen Ming and Chen Xuedong poked their heads halfway, and saw Xia Yuan pull the trigger again, a bullet popped out, passed through the battlefield with a whistling sound, and shot into the mouth of the bunker's machine gun with a bang. The flame-throwing machine gun bunker misfired again.

The two widened their eyes.
