Chapter 460 Action
Chapter 460 Action
So it doesn't make any sense whether to blow up the enemy's artillery positions at this time.
Attacking is just a meaningless sacrifice.
And this is not part of Xia Yuan's plan.
This time, in addition to buying supplies, I came to the enemy's rear to scout out the enemy's situation. After a short scouting, and along the way, the troops behind the enemy were as empty as he thought. If the [-]th Division was surrounded and chose to break out, Breaking out from the enemy's rear would be another way.
After destroying the enemy's radio communication, Xia Yuan quickly left the enemy headquarters. When he left, he naturally took everything he could bring with him.
For example, the enemy moved a box of grenades, and the ammunition box was not full of grenades, and then opened the box with bullets, grabbed a handful of yellow and orange bullets, stuffed them into the box, and walked a few steps in place. , Hearing the sound of bullets and grenades colliding in the box, he put down the box, grabbed another handful of bullets and stuffed it into the box, pressed it tightly, and shook it slightly to ensure that the box would not make any sound, Xia Yuan then Holding the box, return along the way you came.
The journey was very safe. The orange light illuminated the ground for him, and the foreign devil slept soundly in his sleeping bag. When he passed the enemy's troop tunnel, he could hear the snoring sound coming from inside, and he slept soundly.
Little did they know that an enemy had come in from their position, and they were probably still immersed in the dream of winning an early victory and going home.
Wang Xiaoliang, who was in charge of security, was lying on the ground with his submachine gun in his arms, and suddenly saw a black shadow approaching from the foreign devils' position.
"it's me."
A familiar voice came from the shadow's mouth.
"The company commander is back." Wang Xiaoliang was overjoyed and shouted back.
The guarded soldiers at the rear immediately passed the news to the rear, and after a while, Instructor Shao led the people to a reverse slope, waiting quietly.
Wang Xiaoliang followed Xia Yuan with the ammunition box in his arms. When they saw the two, everyone immediately greeted them.
Instructor Shao asked, "How are you doing, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just as I thought, the foreign devils relaxed their vigilance. I touched the enemy's headquarters all the way and destroyed the enemy's radio station."
Xia Yuan showed a smile on his face, and said again: "By the way, this is the ammunition I took from the foreign devil's position, and I cut all the contents inside. We will start to act later."
Instructor Shao hurriedly asked Wang Xiaoliang to put down the box in his arms. Wang Xiaoliang opened the box. The upper layer was filled with yellow and orange bullets, and the lower layer was American grenades. The box was full and there were quite a few.
"So many grenades, darling, company commander, these are all moved from the positions of the American devils."
"What you said is that it wasn't moved down from the American devil's position, so could it be that it fell from the sky?"
"Stop talking, there are so many grenades, enough for us to hustle for a while."
"Lao Yang, here, this is yours."
Everyone was a little surprised and looked at Xia Yuan one after another. They were a little surprised but at the same time they were accustomed to it. The company commander was always able to do some very unreasonable and shocking things at critical moments.
After the shock, boxes of bullets and grenades began to be distributed, and the waists of the soldiers bulged again.
The next step is to assign the battle plan. In fact, the battle plan is not complicated, but it is also very complicated. The main purpose is to convince the enemies on the other high ground that they have observed before that the Volunteer Army has occupied the place where they are now. Just a block of high ground. As for why he did this, Xia Yuan said:
"Of course it is to attract the enemy's long-range artillery support to attack this high ground, and at the same time make the enemy nervous. Although I have no better way to take you into the enemy's position, we can take away some US military vehicles while we are in chaos. Don't forget Yes, the enemy transports are below."
Everyone looked at each other, and Instructor Shao saw the reason: "So, you sabotaged the enemy's communication entirely to prevent the enemy from being able to contact the U.S. military on the high ground."
Xia Yuan nodded: "In addition, you will rely on the favorable terrain to shoot fiercely at another high ground, but you must obey my orders. The lights on the enemy's position are orders. When the lights are turned off, the comrades from the machine gun company will shoot first. The enemy's position fires, and then you shoot again for 5 minutes, and once the 5 minutes are up, retreat immediately and gather on the hill where we observed earlier."
Everyone nodded. They only felt that this plan was a bit clever, but it was very difficult. That was how Xia Yuan convinced the enemy, but they didn't ask too much. Since their company commander formulated this plan, they must have convinced the enemy Methods.
"I'll go alone, there shouldn't be too many people, let's start preparing."
There are too many people, and Xia Yuan can't take care of them. Two people can act, and one person can't speak. After thinking about it, Xia Yuan decided that it is the safest way to go alone, so as to reduce the risk of exposure.
The comrades of the machine gun company touched the enemy's back mountain, set up the mortar, and prepared two shells.
Instructor Shao and his people have already concealed themselves.
There is no enemy stationed in the gap between the mountains and the mountains, but a few machine gun bunkers and a dim light hanging on the distant position are seen from a distance. Although the enemy's station is extremely strong, they are stationed on all sides of the station The U.S. military seems to be very relaxed. For example, there is no one watching between two highlands. It is only a few hundred meters away. It is entirely possible to send one or two people here to watch, but the U.S. military did not do this. , This gave Instructor Shao an opportunity for them to take advantage of.
"The foreign devils trust their own people too much. If something happens, they won't be able to react."
Lao Yang touched all the way over, observed and said.
"Old Xia has already observed it when he came up. We can't learn this. It's no wonder he has such a whimsical idea. According to the enemy's defense loopholes, Xia Yuan's plan has a high probability of success."
Instructor Shao walked and walked, thinking about the feasibility of Xia Yuan's plan, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the success rate of this plan was very high.
Blowing up the enemy's radio station made the enemy on the mountain where they were located lose contact with the outside world, and at the same time the enemy outside could not be contacted.Xia Yuan also knows the enemy's birdsong. If he ran to the enemy's position and talked nonsense, and if they fired again, the enemy would probably believe the fact that the volunteers came in, and would call for long-range artillery fire. Support to strike the US army on this hill.
After thinking about it, Instructor Shao felt more and more that Xia Yuan's plan was very feasible: "Quick, we have to dig the fortifications in the shortest possible time."
Arriving in an area with a wide view, the soldiers immediately took out the engineering shovels on their bodies and began to dig the bunker fortifications.
"Don't dig the fortifications too well, as long as you can shoot, we don't want to fight against the enemy, we have to retreat after completing the task."
Instructor Shao began to tell everyone to be busy.
Chen Lie jumped down from the top of his head, squatted on the ground, and said, "Company commander, everything has been arranged properly, and the retreat route has also been found."
"Okay, now we're waiting for Xia Yuan's signal."
Instructor Shao nodded, and said, "Go ahead with the notice, shoot at the enemy with point fire for 5 minutes, follow the order to retreat, and don't stop after the retreat."
"Yes!"
Chen Lie nodded and left quickly.
On the other side, Xia Yuan took off his poncho, grabbed a handful of dirt and smeared his clothes and face black, threw the gun on the ground, then rushed to the ground in a staggered manner, shouting: "Help! Help! "
The sound suddenly alarmed the U.S. troops on the ground. Several U.S. soldiers rushed out of the troop tunnel, still sorting their clothes.
"Quick, I have something important to report to the commander, the highland, the highland was taken down by the Chinese, and our commander surrendered."
Xia Yuan shouted at the top of his lungs, which made a group of American soldiers lose their minds.
What's the situation, the Chinese are calling, how is it possible, if they are really calling, how is it possible that there is not even a single gunshot.
The second lieutenant of the U.S. Army was also a little confused, coupled with the black light, he forgot to judge Xia Yuan's identity for a while, and asked quickly: "What's going on!"
"The Chinese, the Chinese attacked our position. They rushed into the tunnel where we slept and killed our people with bayonets. I pretended to be a corpse on the ground before I ran out." Xia Yuan's words naturally existed. There are so many loopholes, in order not to let them suspect, he pretended to be crazy, and shouted in horror: "Chinese, the Chinese are here."
The second lieutenant was unable to determine the truth for a while, so he immediately asked someone to use the radio to contact the defenders on the high ground. , Explain clearly how you were attacked by the Chinese.”
Xia Yuan's expression was still terrified, and he spoke incoherently, even incoherently: "They, they are like ghosts in the night, invisible, they passed through the minefield, passed through the barbed wire, touched the position, and the guard post was blocked by them. Take it away, they rushed into the command post, the commander was drinking, he was only half drunk, and he was caught by the Chinese, and I was also caught by the Chinese, and while they were not paying attention, I got into the corpse. They occupied They are in the position and are eating, they have no food, they are looking for food, and when they are full, they are likely to touch it."
Speaking of this, the second lieutenant actually believed it more or less in his heart, because he also knew the commander on the opposite high ground, and the wine in the mouth of the soldier in front of him was also part of the beer he brought back from the station this afternoon. It was given to the second lieutenant on that high ground.
"Are all of them still alive?"
"No, they were all killed by the Chinese. The Chinese are devils. They chopped off their heads with knives and threw them into the mountains. They rolled down the mountains. They couldn't be seen. There were also many corpses in the pits. They were all ours. People, they're devils, devils."
Xia Yuan's expression was still a little excited, and he told the story of the attack one by one with horror.
"Sir, call for artillery reinforcements. The Chinese didn't notice that I ran away. After the artillery support, we can directly attack and regain the position."
The expression on the second lieutenant's face was cloudy and uncertain, unable to decide when.Xia Yuan's voice came from next to his ear.
"Sir, you need to turn off the lights first. This group of Chinese has probably sent out scouts to prevent the Chinese from finding out the defenses on the high ground."
The second lieutenant finally came to his senses, realized that Xia Yuan's words had some truth, and immediately said: "Yes, go and turn off the lights!"
With the lights on here, the defense situation of the positions can be seen at a glance. If the Chinese attack their positions, they only need to use the lights to find out the situation on the positions.
Where Instructor Shao is, they have already dug crude bunkers, and they are squatting in the bunkers, scattered in this area, staring at the US military positions far away. The lights on the US military positions are very bright, and they can See clearly, the dim light bulb is like a star in the dark night.
"It's been half an hour, why hasn't there been any movement?" Big Ma said anxiously: "Instructor, is there a problem?"
"Wait a little longer, trust Xia Yuan!" Instructor Shao still held his breath, and the other soldiers also held their guns without saying a word, squatting in the trench, quietly waiting for Xia Yuan to give a signal.
Suddenly, the light bulbs on the US military positions went out without warning.
"Put it out."
Wang Xiaoliang pointed to the distance in astonishment.
Everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at the US military positions that had fallen into darkness in astonishment. They had no idea how their company commander managed to turn off the enemy's lights on the US military positions.
But right now is not the time to think about this, Instructor Shao immediately reacted: "Quickly, tell the comrades in the machine gun company to fire! Let's fire at the position where it was extinguished before!"
"Yes!"
Liu Tiezhu quickly ran away,
Soon.
The crisp sound of firing the gun bore came from the open ground not far away, and a shell flew across the dark night, making a sharp whistling sound, and flew towards the enemy's position.
At this time, the US military positions that were plunged into darkness were a little noisy, and they were shocked by the news brought by Xia Yuan. The Chinese even quietly captured the highland to the north of them.The correspondent was still calling the lost high and low defenders by radio non-stop, and the American soldiers were scrambling to enter the position again.
Suddenly, sharp cannonballs sounded from above their heads, and fell in the distance with a bang.
A shell was like breaking the quiet switch between the two highlands, followed by bursts of gunfire from the distant highlands, the bullets whizzed down on the ground, sank into the soil on the ground, and burst into a series of explosions. String bullets.
At this moment, the U.S. second lieutenant, who was still a little hesitant, immediately determined that the highland in the distance had been captured by the volunteers, and even used mortars.
"Call for long-range artillery support! Call for long-range artillery support! The Chinese are coming in, we need reinforcements!"
The tone of his speech has changed, and it is obvious that the Chinese army has had an indelible impact on his psychology.
A shell sounded from the sky again, and landed on the ground with a bang.
(End of this chapter)
So it doesn't make any sense whether to blow up the enemy's artillery positions at this time.
Attacking is just a meaningless sacrifice.
And this is not part of Xia Yuan's plan.
This time, in addition to buying supplies, I came to the enemy's rear to scout out the enemy's situation. After a short scouting, and along the way, the troops behind the enemy were as empty as he thought. If the [-]th Division was surrounded and chose to break out, Breaking out from the enemy's rear would be another way.
After destroying the enemy's radio communication, Xia Yuan quickly left the enemy headquarters. When he left, he naturally took everything he could bring with him.
For example, the enemy moved a box of grenades, and the ammunition box was not full of grenades, and then opened the box with bullets, grabbed a handful of yellow and orange bullets, stuffed them into the box, and walked a few steps in place. , Hearing the sound of bullets and grenades colliding in the box, he put down the box, grabbed another handful of bullets and stuffed it into the box, pressed it tightly, and shook it slightly to ensure that the box would not make any sound, Xia Yuan then Holding the box, return along the way you came.
The journey was very safe. The orange light illuminated the ground for him, and the foreign devil slept soundly in his sleeping bag. When he passed the enemy's troop tunnel, he could hear the snoring sound coming from inside, and he slept soundly.
Little did they know that an enemy had come in from their position, and they were probably still immersed in the dream of winning an early victory and going home.
Wang Xiaoliang, who was in charge of security, was lying on the ground with his submachine gun in his arms, and suddenly saw a black shadow approaching from the foreign devils' position.
"it's me."
A familiar voice came from the shadow's mouth.
"The company commander is back." Wang Xiaoliang was overjoyed and shouted back.
The guarded soldiers at the rear immediately passed the news to the rear, and after a while, Instructor Shao led the people to a reverse slope, waiting quietly.
Wang Xiaoliang followed Xia Yuan with the ammunition box in his arms. When they saw the two, everyone immediately greeted them.
Instructor Shao asked, "How are you doing, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just as I thought, the foreign devils relaxed their vigilance. I touched the enemy's headquarters all the way and destroyed the enemy's radio station."
Xia Yuan showed a smile on his face, and said again: "By the way, this is the ammunition I took from the foreign devil's position, and I cut all the contents inside. We will start to act later."
Instructor Shao hurriedly asked Wang Xiaoliang to put down the box in his arms. Wang Xiaoliang opened the box. The upper layer was filled with yellow and orange bullets, and the lower layer was American grenades. The box was full and there were quite a few.
"So many grenades, darling, company commander, these are all moved from the positions of the American devils."
"What you said is that it wasn't moved down from the American devil's position, so could it be that it fell from the sky?"
"Stop talking, there are so many grenades, enough for us to hustle for a while."
"Lao Yang, here, this is yours."
Everyone was a little surprised and looked at Xia Yuan one after another. They were a little surprised but at the same time they were accustomed to it. The company commander was always able to do some very unreasonable and shocking things at critical moments.
After the shock, boxes of bullets and grenades began to be distributed, and the waists of the soldiers bulged again.
The next step is to assign the battle plan. In fact, the battle plan is not complicated, but it is also very complicated. The main purpose is to convince the enemies on the other high ground that they have observed before that the Volunteer Army has occupied the place where they are now. Just a block of high ground.

Everyone nodded. They only felt that this plan was a bit clever, but it was very difficult. That was how Xia Yuan convinced the enemy, but they didn't ask too much. Since their company commander formulated this plan, they must have convinced the enemy Methods.
"I'll go alone, there shouldn't be too many people, let's start preparing."
There are too many people, and Xia Yuan can't take care of them. Two people can act, and one person can't speak. After thinking about it, Xia Yuan decided that it is the safest way to go alone, so as to reduce the risk of exposure.
The comrades of the machine gun company touched the enemy's back mountain, set up the mortar, and prepared two shells.
Instructor Shao and his people have already concealed themselves.
There is no enemy stationed in the gap between the mountains and the mountains, but a few machine gun bunkers and a dim light hanging on the distant position are seen from a distance. Although the enemy's station is extremely strong, they are stationed on all sides of the station The U.S. military seems to be very relaxed.

It is entirely possible to send one or two people here to watch, but the U.S. military did not do this. , This gave Instructor Shao an opportunity for them to take advantage of.
"The foreign devils trust their own people too much. If something happens, they won't be able to react."
Lao Yang touched all the way over, observed and said.
"Old Xia has already observed it when he came up. We can't learn this. It's no wonder he has such a whimsical idea. According to the enemy's defense loopholes, Xia Yuan's plan has a high probability of success."
Instructor Shao walked and walked, thinking about the feasibility of Xia Yuan's plan, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the success rate of this plan was very high.

"Don't dig the fortifications too well, as long as you can shoot, we don't want to fight against the enemy, we have to retreat after completing the task."
Instructor Shao began to tell everyone to be busy.
Chen Lie jumped down from the top of his head, squatted on the ground, and said, "Company commander, everything has been arranged properly, and the retreat route has also been found."

Instructor Shao nodded, and said, "Go ahead with the notice, shoot at the enemy with point fire for 5 minutes, follow the order to retreat, and don't stop after the retreat."

With the lights on here, the defense situation of the positions can be seen at a glance. If the Chinese attack their positions, they only need to use the lights to find out the situation on the positions.
Where Instructor Shao is, they have already dug crude bunkers, and they are squatting in the bunkers, scattered in this area, staring at the US military positions far away.

Suddenly, the light bulbs on the US military positions went out without warning.
"Put it out."
Wang Xiaoliang pointed to the distance in astonishment.
Everyone's eyes widened, and they looked at the US military positions that had fallen into darkness in astonishment. They had no idea how their company commander managed to turn off the enemy's lights on the US military positions.
But right now is not the time to think about this, Instructor Shao immediately reacted: "Quickly, tell the comrades in the machine gun company to fire! Let's fire at the position where it was extinguished before!"

"Call for long-range artillery support! Call for long-range artillery support! The Chinese are coming in, we need reinforcements!"
The tone of his speech has changed, and it is obvious that the Chinese army has had an indelible impact on his psychology.
A shell sounded from the sky again, and landed on the ground with a bang.
