Chapter 533 Volunteers still have heavy firepower?

On a table at the Volunteer Army Headquarters, there is a list of troops that have not been withdrawn from the [-]th parallel. The ones that have been ticked indicate that they have broken out and returned to the team.

In this list, only the [-]th Division of the [-]th Army was left unchecked.The commanders are all asking about the movement on the front line, and indirectly asking where the [-]th Division is, but there is no news about the [-]th Division, which is surrounded by the US military.

"Boss, the situation is very obvious. The [-]th Division must be in trouble."

Hearing this sentence, the chief remained calm and stood still. He didn't answer that person, but was recalling the [-]th Division.

At that time, the 18th Division was a typical unit of our army that gradually grew from weak to strong.At the beginning, it was a field army upgraded from the local grassroots cadre regiments and county brigades of the Taiyue Army Division of the Eighth Route Army.Fighting successively in the War of Liberation, the team continued to grow, and then belonged to the No. 60 Army of the No. [-] Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.After it was assigned to the Northwest Field Army, the chief has always used it as the first-class main division, and it has participated in the Battle of Fumei and the Battle of Qinling.

The chief knows this army very well.

Finally, the chief picked up the big tea mug, put it to his mouth and took a sip, his voice was loud and full of majesty: "You keep looking for me! I don't believe that they will all be wiped out by the enemy!"

"Yes!"

All the transmitters were desperately searching for the signal of this unit, but at this time the answer to them in this frequency band was still silence.

The chief continued to stare at the large-scale map on the wall, recalling the location and time of the last contact with the 45th Division in his mind.Finally, he drew a general area with his hands, quickly judged the location of the [-]th Division, and said, "Is the [-]th Division still around here?"

The combat staff officer next to him immediately replied: "Yes, boss, there is still the 100st Division more than [-] kilometers to the left, but"

The chief said: "Speak, don't hesitate."

The combat staff seemed to have guessed the chief's intentions, and said, "These two divisions are still fighting, and they are not out of danger."

The chief didn't have time to think about it anymore, so he said decisively: "Draft a telegram to change the rear team of the 45th Division and the [-]st Division to the front team, and immediately go to solve the siege of the [-]th Division. We must open the gap and let them break out! Zhi manage!"

The chief judged that the [-]th division must be surrounded by the enemy just by looking at the map.

After the combat staff took notes, he immediately handed the paper to the sender.

The chief continued: "Give me Hong Xuezhi!"

A few hours ago, after Hong Xuezhi went out from the Volunteer Army Headquarters, he braved the heavy rain and returned to the Nantingli Volunteer Army Logistics Headquarters to organize and arrange the supply of materials transported from domestic steel. It rang, and it was Shiji's.

A familiar and serious voice came from the phone: "Come back quickly, something happened to the [-]th division!"

When Hong Xuezhi heard this, his expression became tense, and he quickly replied: "Okay, I see, I'll go back right away!"

The jeep driver continued to risk being bombed by enemy planes at any time, and rushed to the headquarters of the Volunteer Army in the shortest possible time. When Hong Xuezhi walked into the war room, he felt that everyone was in a state of anxiety. With a bit of dignity.

The chief said, "How is the situation over there?"

"I have already arranged everything that needs to be arranged." Hong Xuezhi moved his eyes and said, "Have you not contacted them yet?"

The chief pinched off half a cigarette, and said to Hong Xuezhi: "Well, I haven't been in touch yet, and now I have lost contact with the headquarters of the 45th Army and the Third Corps. I asked the [-]th Division and the [-]st Division to follow the pre-breakout There are routes to find them, but the progress is too slow."

Hong Xuezhi nodded, "Yes, the protruding troops told me that it is far away now, even if they can come out, it is still unknown, boss, don't worry too much, let's think of a way. "

Hong Xuezhi knew the chief very well, whenever he was in a heavy mood, he always didn't like to talk.

Hong Xuezhi's analysis was very correct. The chief didn't answer him first, and continued to look at the map on the wall. After a while, he whispered, "Old Hong, come and have a look."

front.

The sun's rays were a bit dazzling, but when it fell on the defense line of the [-]th Division, it was blocked by a thick layer of gunpowder smoke.

In the mountains and fields, the figures of American soldiers rushed towards the high ground of the volunteers.

"Wu Liang, how many have you killed?"

Wang Huzi was scorched black all over, and his padded clothes were burned to pieces. Holding an American semi-automatic rifle, he aimed at the foreign devils who were attacking from a distance.

The sound of rumbling guns exploded around their high ground, and the swirling soil was scattered around them.

There are a lot of guns piled up in the shallow trenches. Bullets and bullet bags are thrown on the ground at random. The grenade is half buried on the ground. The number of enemies is too large. Wang Huzi quickly grabbed a grenade and threw it out, falling into the enemy group. Reimbursed a lot of enemies.

"Seventeen, hehehe, these foreign devils are not afraid of death, that's great. If we kill a few more, we will make great contributions."

Wu Liang laughed and groped in the mud with his dark palms, picked up the bullets that had fallen on the ground and buried them, blew and stuffed them into the clips.

"Instructor, how many have you killed?" Wang Huzi shouted again.

"Don't ask, there are definitely more than you."

Yang Nanzhen's voice drifted over from the other side, and was swallowed up by the sound of enemy shells exploding.

"Commander Xia" Wang Huzi seemed to be making fun of himself, he opened his mouth, thinking that he should not ask, Company Commander Xia's combat effectiveness is the most powerful among the four of them.

"Wang Huzi, why don't you ask?"

Xia Yuan let out a chuckle, bang bang bang, the sound of the big eight grains' gunshots was clear, and several of the shaking figures in front of him fell down.

"Commander Xia, you are good at shooting guns and throwing grenades. I can compare with the instructor and Wu Liang, but I can't compare with you."

For Xia Yuan, the three of them really admired it. It was because of Xia Yuan's existence that this position was firmly in their hands.

"Wang Huzi, the US military's offensive has weakened again." Wu Liang fired his gun, looked up, and laughed endlessly.

"Hey, really, greet them with a grenade."

Wang Huzi grinned, and the four picked up the grenade in a tacit understanding. This is a rule that Xia Yuan discovered. Whenever the enemy's casualties increase, the attack will weaken. All run down the hill.

Learning wars in wars, they used this method to defeat several waves of enemy attacks.

The army's offensive focus is not on their side, so not many troops are invested.One company after another was put into the attacking high ground, and they were defeated every time. The front of their position was full of enemy corpses, at least one company, and all the captured guns were thrown in the trenches.

The US military bombarded them and buried them every time, but the vitality of the four people was tenacious, and they were able to withstand this level of bombardment. It is estimated that the commander of the US military would not have imagined that there were only four people in a position, but such Tenacious, sent out several companies, but failed to take down this position.

"Fuck!"

The battalion commander of the major of the U.S. Army yelled and sent several companies, but they were all beaten down by the Chinese on the mountain. What surprised him the most was that the Chinese on this position were very tenacious in combat. Every company attacked the high ground. The casualty rate exceeded the terrifying 50.00%. What kind of concept is this? A company was sent up with more than 200 people. At most, more than 100 people died on it and did not come down.

In World War II, their casualty rate was not so terrible.

After attacking for several hours, the inconspicuous hill in front of him was beaten five or six times abruptly, but he failed to take it down.

Incredible.

The major battalion commander was already scared. If the fight continued like this, their entire battalion would be consumed by the Chinese army on the mountain. But at this time, the commander above gave them an order to continue attacking.

"Fuck! Fuck! Damn Bitchi! He is sending my soldiers to die. The Chinese on the mountain are too powerful and terrifying. This position is the devil's position. I suggest bypassing this position."

The battalion commander of the major yelled and fought several times for the positions that he failed to take down, but the commander actually wanted them to fight. If he continued, his battalion would probably have to be accounted for here.

After much deliberation, the major battalion commander decided to give up attacking this unnamed highland.After capturing this unnamed highland, it couldn't bring them any value. The major battalion commander called the signal soldier, and their commander, Major Rolle, was favored by Almond and successfully promoted to become a regiment commander. The Seventh Division of the United States is booming.

After Major Roll received the report from the battalion commander of the major below, he was a little angry. You can't even fight down such a small hill. If you want to fight in another place, you can't fight in a new place.

However, he also has some understanding of the situation of this battalion-level combat team. The continuous battles and huge casualties have caused the morale of the soldiers to be very low. This is no longer something that can be solved by improving their food, and this is just a front-line combat force. After more than ten days of fighting, too many people died, and many American soldiers became war-weary, and even a company that attacked the Volunteer Highlands retreated without authorization, and even the supervising team followed They retreated together.

The situation of the [-]th Division is not good, and the situation of the US Tenth Army is also not good.The difference is that the situation of the [-]th Division is not good, but the fighting will of the soldiers has become more and more high as time goes by.The U.S. Tenth Army is not good internally. Many soldiers have become war-weary. After all, weapons and equipment are controlled by humans. The war-weariness of the soldiers will inevitably have a certain impact on the next offensive.

Major Rolle has come step by step from ordinary soldiers to the present. He has a deep understanding of the emotions of the soldiers. The purpose of war is not to defend the country. Many soldiers feel a little bit wrong when they arrive on the battlefield. It was difficult, and Major Rolle had a bad feeling. If it weren't for their superiority in numbers and equipment, they might have lost this war.

"Is our opponent still human?"

Major Rolle is very clear that their enemy has been out of food for several days, the supply of materials is not enough, the number is behind the enemy, the equipment is behind the enemy, and they do not occupy the land and air advantages. Under such circumstances, if it were them, they would have already It's time to surrender.As for the Chinese, they have fought with them abruptly until now.

"Let the soldiers rest first."

Major Rolle was very helpless about this. He knew very well that the more he ordered the soldiers to attack, the more he would lose. The best way is to let the soldiers take a breath, eat and drink, relax, and then take the opportunity to encourage them. Check their morale, and let their artillery go up to perform by the way.

In this way, after 10 minutes, the morale of the soldiers will increase.

Unexpectedly, Almond called at this moment.
"It's me, Your Excellency General, tell me!"

Major Rolle attached great importance to this call. Almond, who was listening to the phone, said: "The Chinese army still has heavy artillery. You must be careful at all times. I didn't expect that the Chinese still have heavy artillery at this time. They're still hiding something that's useless."

Major Roller's expression was serious, and he nodded solemnly: "General, I understand. I have already let my soldiers retreat from the Chinese positions and sent a reconnaissance team to observe the situation. If the Chinese army still has heavy artillery that has not been used, I will The artillery would be ordered to bomb the target."

"Very good, but now we still need to temporarily slow down the offensive. Don't press too hard. If you want to deceive the Chinese heavy artillery, they will not be able to escape."

Almond is afraid of the Chinese heavy artillery. The most important thing is that due to the lack of intelligence, they currently do not have the number of Chinese heavy artillery. This is very scary. If the Chinese have mastered an artillery group, they must be careful coped.

What Almond didn't know was that the [-]th Division really had an artillery group. It was said to be an artillery group, but it was actually just a mountain artillery battalion with more than [-] cannons, and it was still trapped on the south bank of the Han River.

The Volunteer Army did not have trucks to transport cannons. Their way of transporting cannons was very primitive. They removed the places where the cannons could be dismantled, and then pulled them with mules and horses. The team moved slowly. After the [-]th Division completed crossing the river, the artillery was left behind. South bank of the Han River.

The guns couldn't be transported at all, and these guns could only be blown up on the spot, leaving the enemy with a pile of broken copper and iron.

There are also some mountain cannons on the north bank of the Han River. Since the troops are about to break through, the superior ordered the mountain cannon battalion to remove the accessories of the remaining mountain cannons and bury them on the spot. They will come back to pick them up later.

It is said that there will be a chance in the future, but the hearts of the soldiers are as clear as a piece of glass, and they have no chance to come to get it again.
