The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 405 The number bought with life
Xia Yuan said to Zhou Xingyong beside him: "Take your people and stay, we will break through from this direction."

He raised his gun and aimed at the machine gun bunker that was spewing flames on the mountain, knocked it down with one shot, and shouted: "Old horse, you lead people to retreat! Call Lao Chen!"

Big Ma shot at the enemy on the mountain with his submachine gun, and shouted, "Old Xia, you're so fucking back alive, did you hear me!"

"Don't worry, you don't know my skills yet, get out!"

Xia Yuan tensed his nerves, and the screaming sound of enemy shells passing through the air came from above his head, rumbling and falling on the ground around them. Some unlucky soldiers were hit by enemy shells and lay silent on the ground, afraid Shouting for pain disturbed the morale of the army.

"Go save people!"

Xia Yuan yelled to Zhou Xingyong, and told two soldiers to rush up the mountain. The enemy's machine gun bunker just made a movement, and a bullet shot past them, and there was no movement in an instant. The enemy's artillery could not hit them temporarily. The situation has been brought under control, and it is only a matter of time before it is won.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao immediately led other soldiers to reinforce the front, but they had just bypassed the place where Xia Yuan and the others stayed, and passed through a rocky ditch with different bumps, and their vision suddenly widened. The gun rushed out of the rocky area and encountered an American army on a hill head-on. When the enemy's heavy machine gun fired, three soldiers from Tan Zhanbiao's squad, who was leading the way, fell down.

The enemy's artillery fired again, and the roaring shells fell on their team again like raindrops.

The U.S. military built a large number of fortifications and artillery positions in this area. When Syngman Rhee's army fled wildly and retreated, the U.S. military retreated in an orderly manner under the leadership of Ridgway and Van Vleet, which did not seem to be fighting at all. The look of losing a battle and fleeing.

"Damn it, there are foreign devils here!"

The big man cursed, picked up his submachine gun and fired at the enemy indiscriminately. A long chain of fire shot towards the reverse slope where he was hiding. The heavy machine gun fired at a very fast speed, puffing into the soil above his head. , The fried mud flew around and landed on his hat, which was soon covered with a layer of mud.

Big Ma shook his head and looked into the distance. The enemy has more American troops stationed on this hill. There are three heavy machine guns. The chains of fire sprayed out are like long whips, which are very clear even in the daytime. Tan Zhanbiao's group, who were in charge of acting as sharp knives at the forefront, were directly suppressed by the enemy's firepower and could not move.

The American artillery shells fell around them continuously again, and the impact points were blown out one by one, and the rolled up mud and stones were ten feet high.

"Old Chen, Tan Zhanbiao was suppressed by the foreign devils, can you kill the machine gunner of the foreign devils!?" Big Ma shouted at the top of his voice.

"Do you think I'm Lao Xia? If you say I'm going to kill it, I'll kill it. It's very difficult at such a distance." Chen Lie is good at marksmanship, but good marksmanship does not mean that he can kill the enemy's machine gunners at such a distance. The position is at least 500 meters. There are many factors to consider in this distance. It is not easy to destroy it.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao saw from a distance that three or four soldiers in Tan Zhanbiao's squad were killed by the enemy's heavy machine guns.

They do not have the powerful attacking ability of Xia Yuan, and the enemy occupies a favorable terrain, which exerts a huge pressure on them. It is daytime again, and the fighting situation is very unfavorable to them. Come over: "Commander Lei, the second company and the third company encountered tenacious shelling from the enemy. The enemy not only has mortars, but also howitzers. We heard the sound of the 1 howitzer, and later the sound of the 105 howitzer!"

"The foreign devils have money, but they bombarded us vigorously." The scout said again: "The howitzers are as if they don't need money."

Hearing the continuous roaring sound coming from a distance, the positions of the bullets were very strange, and some landed in places where there was no one at all, Instructor Shao said: "Listen, Lao Lei, judging from the density of shelling, the foreign devils didn't have a plan." The foreign devils found us, but we were divided into three groups. The enemy didn't know our strength. We knew the surrounding terrain well. Only the 336 highland is located near the highway, which is easy to defend. The terrain is difficult to attack, we must break through the enemy on the mountain, attack from the enemy's rear, and reduce the pressure on the second company and the third company."

"That is, they don't know how many people we have, so they can only suppress them with strong firepower. You are right, we must quickly take down the high point in front of us. Since the foreign devils can station on this high point, then we will be able to circle behind the enemy through this high point."

Lieutenant Lei calmed down, and said to the scouts beside him: "We need Xia Yuan, he is being pinned down by a platoon of enemy troops behind us, you go and tell him, let him come back to help immediately if you beat the enemy down .”

"Yes!"

The scout left quickly.

Captain Lei said again: "But we can't fight the enemy here. Ma Shunyao, Chen Lie, come here."

In front, although the squad leader Tan Zhanbiao was immobilized by the enemy's heavy machine guns, he was in a good position and could observe the enemy's defenses on the mountain. He found that the enemy had more than three firepower points built up by heavy machine guns. He looked back, and Captain Lei was talking to the second and third platoon leaders, probably planning to organize a strong attack.

This scene was seen by a soldier on the right. This soldier was a veteran of the first squad, named Qiu Shitian. Let’s find a firepower point, I’ll explore the way, and after the soldiers behind come up, tell them the location of the enemy’s firepower point.”

After speaking, he crawled forward on the ground. The enemy saw him, and the bullets from the heavy machine gun whizzed over.

Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Tiezhu raised their heads and stared at Qiu Shitian's back. After so many battles in their squad, there were only four of them left.

Tan Zhanbiao immediately shouted: "You come back!"

"Old Tan, don't worry about me, I know it well!"

Another string of heavy machine gun bullets from the enemy hit the ground above his head, and Qiu Shitian had to climb down with a buzzing sound.

Tan Zhanbiao shouted: "You come back, I don't need you to go, I will go by myself! Hurry up and obey the order!"

While speaking, there was a pause in the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets. Qiu Shitian stood up from the ground, rushed five or six meters away in a blink of an eye, rolled and jumped into an impact point, and the sound came from the impact point.

"Old Tan, look after you!"

After hitting the spot, Qiu Shitian got up again and rushed towards the enemy on the mountain. While running fast, he shot blindly. In fact, he had no target at all, but just wanted to lure the enemy's machine gun to hit him.

In a few seconds, the heavy machine guns of the U.S. military made a crisp sound. In the blink of an eye, Qiu Shitian's body was covered with blood holes, and the bullets sank into his body, like a stone falling into a pool of water. His padded clothes and body were beaten to pieces. Qiu Shitian didn't fall down in ten seconds. He supported the ground with Mosin Nagant, hoping that Tan Zhanbiao could count how many machine guns the enemy had in the open and in the dark. The whole world's machine guns were shooting at him, his body was beaten to pieces, his internal organs were like stirred watermelon juice, blood was covered all over his body, and blood spurted out of his mouth and nose continuously.

"I counted clearly, I counted clearly!" Tan Zhanbiao cried, as if he heard Tan Zhanbiao's voice, Qiu Shitian couldn't hold on anymore, and hit the ground heavily.

Tan Zhanbiao, Liu Tiezhu, and Wang Xiaoliang had tears in their eyes. The three of them counted exactly how many machine guns the enemy had. This number was bought by the veterans with their own lives.

"Comrade, how many machine guns are there in front!?"

A soldier crawled into Tan Zhanbiao's place.

Tan Zhanbiao wiped away the tears on his face and said, "You guys are here, there are three machine guns lying in ambush on your right, just under that tree, kill them quickly!"

This soldier is the artillery of the first battalion supporting each company. They fought on the front line in Tonggu and captured a lot of American mortars and gun shells. The first battalion commander knew that their next task was to attack the [-] highland. In order to be able to have the ability to attack key points, he evenly distributed the artillery of the battalion headquarters to each company, and deployed several mortars and some mortar shells.

After getting the firepower point of the US machine gun pointed by Tan Zhanbiao, the soldier glanced at the position of his finger, and then waved the red flag pinned to his waist with his right hand several times backward.

shhhhhh!
boom!boom!boom!
The four mortars gave out crisp tremors, the shells flew through the air, and fell far away on the position where the US machine guns were fired. The dust on the ground was lifted into the air, and the explosion caused a huge vibration on the ground. One firepower point of the U.S. military was destroyed. The enemy has many firepower points and a large number, but the mortar shells are limited.

"Good fight!"

Tan Zhanbiao yelled and pointed directly in front of them: "There is still a firepower point in front of us, fight, kill them for me, and avenge my comrades in arms!"

The soldier was still waving the small red flag to the rear, but this time there was no shelling
Tan Zhanbiao waited for a while, but there was no shelling, "What's the matter, fire, this is the only thing missing, hurry up."

The soldier waved the small red flag again, but there was still no movement. The soldier lowered the flag and scratched his head helplessly.

After standing still for a while, Lieutenant Lei ran to the rear artillery position to inquire about the situation: "What's going on? Keep firing!"

One of the artillerymen said, "Company commander, the shells have run out."

"What?" Lieutenant Commander Lei was stunned for a moment, and asked in doubt: "Didn't you seize a lot of shells from the American devils before? Where are those shells?"

The artilleryman said: "Company commander, we have been lightly packed when we received the order, and the marching speed is still tight. We only carry a small amount of shells, and the baggage team has not followed up."

Captain Lei sighed helplessly.

The few explosions just now made the last machine gun team even more annoyed. It kept roaring like crazy, and the enemies on the mountain kept firing. Tan Zhanbiao, Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Tiezhu couldn't fight back.

Another group of people rushed over, they ran in front of Tan Zhanbiao, and the two soldiers behind them threw four grenades. The throwing distance was limited, and they couldn't reach the opponent's position at all. Instead, they used the little smoke generated by the grenades, and the group of people Immediately stood up and rushed forward.

Tan Zhanbiao shouted: "Liu Tiezhu, suppress the opponent's machine gunner!"

Liu Tiezhu patted Wang Xiaoliang: "It's our turn! Damn, everyone is dead, and we will fight the enemy!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the machine gun sounded here, the mortar fire sounded there. Three shells fell around the two of them, and the shrapnel splashed everywhere, forcing them to give up suppressing and fell to the ground.

Tan Zhanbiao gritted his teeth and fired at the enemy's heavy machine gun, but it was of no avail. As soon as the enemy's heavy machine gun fired, the barrel swung from side to side and hit several times, and several soldiers fell down.

At this time, Niu Fengyang rushed up with his men, and also brought two light machine guns, and began to fight back. The soldiers in front were still running forward, and the bullets from both sides were intertwined above their heads, swishing and almost rubbing against them. The scalp flew over, dangerous and dangerous, the soldiers were not intimidated, and under the cover of the soldiers behind them, they became more and more brave.

Under such a heroic and fearless charge, three more soldiers were knocked down by enemy bullets. Fortunately, they missed the vital points and were all hit on the arms. At this moment, they were getting closer and closer to the enemy's high ground, and a wounded soldier rushed to the enemy. In front of the fired point of the destroyed machine gun, there were many corpses of American devils, as well as the remaining Browning heavy machine guns. Without saying a word, he endured the pain in his arm, picked up the American Browning heavy machine gun, and went to With a turn to the left rear, he pulled the trigger, chug chug, and fired like the enemy's last point of fire one after another.

Because of the short range, the sandbags built by the U.S. troops on the high ground were also punched with small holes, and the sand flowed down. The U.S. troops above were shot down by sudden machine guns, and they threw a few grenades down the mountain in a panic. , Feeling that there are fewer and fewer people, after throwing a few grenades, he left his position in a panic and retreated.

This made the attacking soldiers a little confused. They thought that the U.S. military would stick to this hill, but they didn't expect the soldiers to rush up, and they threw a few grenades and ran away.

Suddenly, the last firepower point of the American devils exploded, the deafening roar spread in the open field, and the smoke billowed.

"Go!" Tan Zhanbiao picked up his gun and rushed up with a few soldiers, wanting to find out.

It turned out that before the last U.S. soldier retreated, he threw a grenade into the mortar ammunition box, detonating the remaining three boxes, and there was no shell left. three mortars and four corpses.

These soldiers picked up their guns and continued to shoot at the place where the American devils retreated, but they had already run far away.

The battle here is basically over. Company Commander Lei couldn't hear the sound of Xia Yuan's fighting guns behind him. While the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, he quickly grabbed the scout who had just run back and asked, "Where are Xia Yuan and the others!!"

The scout said: "Company commander, they are gone!! There is only one soldier left over there, looking at a pile of spoils, including cannons, machine guns, and shells!"

"what!"

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao were shocked.
