The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 883 A fierce battle

boom! With a loud noise and the sound of metal colliding, Xia Yuan's bundle of grenades fell under the tracks of the enemy's tank.

The earth-shattering roar shook the entire position. The infantrymen behind the tank were also startled by the loud sound. The American infantrymen who were close to the tank were killed on the spot.

The tracks of the enemy tank were twisted and they were lying on the ground. The tank soldiers inside felt uncomfortable. The shock wave of a grenade explosion probably made them dizzy even inside the tank.

The tank lay there for more than ten seconds before the Kakarala's tracks started to rotate, but only on one side, with no reaction at all on the other side.

Tank twisted his butt on the spot, then lay on the ground without moving.

Xia Yuan looked at it and saw that the tank had stopped moving, and the enemy's infantry behind did not dare to move forward. He was about to take out a grenade and blow up the infantry behind the tank.

Unexpectedly, the hatch of the tank opened, and a tank soldier grabbed the machine gun above the tank.

It seems that they want to use the heavy machine gun above the tank to cover the infantry attack.

"Take it as if I don't exist." Xia Yuan lay on the tank's face, and the other party didn't notice him, grabbing the machine gun and firing.

There was a gunshot, and just as the tank soldier fired the bullet, he was hit by an incoming bullet that penetrated his head.

The infantrymen at the rear had already hunched up and were ready to attack. The sudden tragic death of the tank soldiers shocked them again and made them retreat again.

Xia Yuan put away his gun and crawled to the left. He saw the infantry behind the tank and began to harvest the enemy's heads.

The sound of gunshots severely shattered their desire to capture the position.

On the other side, there was a combat team in the second platoon. The enemy tank shook with a roar, and the shells roared out of the barrel and sank into the mountain. It was shattered as if the mountain was shattered. The terrible shock wave rolled up the black soil and headed towards them. Spreading around, the power of this cannon is not small, and the mountains are shaking.

The leader of the team coming from the second platoon was called Lu Fuzhi. He was a soldier from the Northeast. He was a bit tall, with a fat head and a tough fighting style. Xia Yuan had seen him before in the second platoon, and he was an assaulter.

The second platoon leader transferred him to the front, perhaps thinking of the importance of forward positions, so that capable soldiers should go to the most dangerous places.

And often, in order to make great achievements, the more dangerous the place, the more people rush to sign up.

As for sacrifice, it is not within their scope of consideration.

Lu Fuzhi looked at the enemy tank pressing up from the right, followed by the swarm of American soldiers. He decisively picked up the explosives brought from the second row position and ran. Under the cover of two soldiers, he crawled towards the enemy tank. past.

After all, without Xia Yuan's vicious eyes, he could only crawl forward in a battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. The bullets fired by the enemy were flying over his head. One bullet grazed his scalp and flew behind him, lifting his hat. He turned around, picked up the hat that fell on the ground, put it on his head, put the explosive pack under his body, and continued to crawl forward.

On the road, enemy tanks were pressing towards the high ground, followed by a group of American soldiers, all of them rushing forward in the groggy smoke.

Lu Fuzhi looked at the enemy's posture and was not afraid of them. He rolled into the impact point of the enemy's artillery shell while holding the explosive pack, and curled up, facing the bullets fired by the enemy.

Rumble!
At close range, he could clearly hear the roar of the enemy tanks.

The cannonballs were shot out and landed heavily in the mountain. The entire mountain was shaking continuously, and the broken stones continued to fall down.

The tank rolled upwards, and a tank soldier opened the hatch and controlled the heavy machine gun to suppress areas where volunteers might be present. The enemy's infantry, aware of the weak resistance here, surrounded the tank and cautiously groped up the mountain.

The enemy did not notice Lu Fuzhi hiding in the impact point, and his attention was entirely on the top of the mountain.

Lu Fuzhi saw the opportunity, jumped out of the bunker, and rushed towards the enemy tank.

"Fuck! It's Chinese!"

The American infantrymen were startled when they saw the black shadow that suddenly jumped out.

The good news is, it's not for them.

The bad news is, the tanks are aimed at them.

The black shadow was like a nimble squirrel, sliding under the chassis of the enemy's tank. The American soldiers were shocked, as if they had a premonition of something, and hurriedly avoided it.

There was a loud bang, and thick black smoke floated out from under the tank. The rotating tank tracks of the Kakarala stopped operating instantly. The tank crew above the tank was also shocked by the huge shock, and was knocked unconscious. They lay on the hatch cover of the tank without moving.

The surrounding American soldiers looked at the tank like this, and they were definitely unable to attack.

A U.S. soldier saw a black shadow running through the bomb shelter on the right side of the tank. In an instant, the black shadow seemed to be flying close to the ground and slithered into a bomb shelter on the slope. , hiding.

Obviously, it was the dark figure who blew up the tank, and he was able to come back alive.

This makes many US military infantry feel quite incredible.

Are all Chinese people so awesome?
Two of the enemy's three tanks were blown up and lay motionless on the ground. The other one was crushed onto the position, but was quickly counterattacked by a wave of hiding soldiers, driving back the infantry behind the tanks. As for the The tank became a turtle in a urn, surrounded by soldiers, completely blown up and turned into a pile of scrap metal.

The enemy infantry was suppressed and driven back by them.

By eleven o'clock, they had repelled four charges of enemy tanks and infantry, and there were layers of enemy corpses in front of their positions.

The sun was still high in the sky, and the enemy's retreating figure was still embarrassed. Xiao Heping sighed: "The day is so long."

How much determination, courage and perseverance is required to resist the bombardment of artillery shells and bombs like raindrops on a bare mountain with no fortifications and only shell craters for cover.

Company Commander Sun and Instructor Hu burned the so-called documents in the company headquarters and their own notebooks, showing their determination to live or die with the position.

They shuttled between the positions of each platoon and squad, encouraging comrades: "Comrades, we are the third company of heroes, and no enemy can defeat us!"

The soldiers responded resoundingly: "Don't worry, company commander, the position will not be lost, and the third company will not collapse!"

They came to the front and encouraged Xia Yuan and the others: "You are the heroes of the third company. You stick to the most dangerous position and are a thorn in the enemy's side and a thorn in the flesh."

Everyone was happy, and Xia Yuan was also happy: "What we want is this effect. Let them see us so close to them, but they will be anxious if we can't defeat them!" Xiao Heping said: "Don't worry, company commander, we will definitely defend our position!"

When Company Commander Sun and Instructor Hu were about to leave, Xia Yuan stepped forward and asked, "Company Commander, how are the conditions of Fourth Platoon, First Class and Second Class?"

He couldn't move away from the position. He hadn't seen Zhao Xiaoyi for so long. He was a little vague about the situation of the two classes. This was also his dereliction of duty.

"Their situation is not bad, and the casualties are relatively small. After all, you are at the front, and you have withstood the enemy's most violent attacks."

Captain Sun felt a little emotional that Xia Yuan had grown up to the point where he could take charge of his own business.

The enemy made a last-ditch effort in the morning and dispatched six tanks. There were three tanks in front of the fourth platoon and the third squad. It can be seen that the enemy was determined to capture their position. Who would have thought that Xia Yuan and the others were still firmly on the ground. Defended.

"Company Commander, I'd like to request some support for some ammunition, preferably grenades. There aren't even a few grenades on the corpses of the American soldiers." Xia Yuan said.

"Okay, I'll go to the battalion headquarters and ask for it from the battalion commander. I promise to get you a box!" Captain Sun said seriously.

After the two left, Xia Yuan began to arrange for everyone to dig individual bunkers. He felt quite helpless in such a position. From any defensive point of view, this was not a place where an attack could be blocked.

The situation was so gentle that the enemy tanks could come up at full speed. However, there was still an unavoidable slope on the enemy's retreat path. They had to occupy this slope and not abandon their position.

Once the enemy occupied this slope, the most important part of the entire 335th Regiment's defense line would be captured by the enemy. Other lines of defense could only be harassed, but not blocked.

Therefore, occupying this place is equivalent to grabbing the enemy's head and pressing the enemy to the ground. Each unit of the 335th Regiment can beat the enemy in each section separately.

The position cannot be lost, but there is no tactic that can deal with the enemy's attack. The only way is to stand up and fight the enemy to the end.

Xia Yuan didn't have much ammunition left. The barrel of the gun was a bit worn and the accuracy was not high. He needed to replace the weapon.

The only machine gunner Li Yumin also died. The barrel of the machine gun was bent and needed to be replaced before it could continue to be used. The barrels from the company headquarters were distributed to each platoon. After two consecutive days of fighting, the barrels were severely worn and many of them were injured. Machine guns cannot be used because they have no barrels and cannot be replaced. Only light machine guns can be used, but light machine guns do not have much ammunition.

If they continue like this, their ammunition may be exhausted first.

Xia Yuan had no way to do this. The enemy was on the road, and they were on the mountain. The enemy arranged a large number of sentry posts at night, and Xia Yuan couldn't find a place to get in.

Even if you get in, whether you can come back is a huge question.

He went to take a look last night and had no idea.

We must think of a way. If we continue like this, once the ammunition of the third company is exhausted, if the main force does not come, they may not be able to hold on.

At 13:00, the enemy began its fifth most ferocious counterattack. The number of attacking infantrymen increased to more than a thousand, and thirty-two aircraft, eighteen tanks, and dozens of howitzers bombarded the Third Company's position indiscriminately. .

In an instant, the Third Company's position was ablaze, and then groups of enemy soldiers began to charge towards the Third Company's position in turn.

Zhou Mao is responsible for protecting the only heavy machine gun in the squad. Although the barrel is bent and cannot be used, the heavy machine gun only needs to be replaced with a new barrel. Therefore, this precious asset must be protected. When the enemy was shelling, he put the machine gun under his body to protect the machine gun.

After the enemy's shelling ended, he stood up, hid the machine gun in the impact point, and started shooting at the enemy.

The remaining remains of the three tanks on the position were also distorted and deformed by the enemy's bombardment, with thick smoke billowing from the steel.

Xia Yuan's voice rang out: "With me here, the enemy can't come up. Everyone stay calm and pay attention to the enemies in front of you. The foreign devils have sent out so many people, which means they are getting anxious. This is a good thing. It's time for us to make a contribution!"

When the enemy rushed up, party member Lu Fuzhi shouted: "Attention, the enemy is coming, get your grenades and submachine guns ready!"

When the locals rushed up, he shouted again: "Fight!"

The few remaining soldiers in the forward position began to shoot at the enemy. A series of bullets were fired like raindrops, and soon the enemies fell.

But there were too many enemies, and the firepower was even more fierce. There were heavy machine guns, light machine guns, recoilless rifles, and soldiers carrying walkie-talkies, calling for artillery support. The rumbling artillery fire fell right in front of the attack of these American soldiers. .

It caused a lot of casualties to them.

At the most intense peak of the battle, the enemy once broke through their forward position. Xia Yuan led four soldiers to fight with the enemy.

There were only two people left on Lu Fuzhi's side. The enemy had too many troops. With more than 20 people surrounding two people, how could they possibly defeat them?

The forward position was quickly broken through by the enemy. Lu Fuzhi, eyes red with anxiety, picked up the gun of his comrade and fought with the enemy, stabbing several enemies to death in succession. His left leg was blown off, but he endured the pain and crawled to the In the forward position, continue to fight with the enemy.

Due to the inconvenient movement of his legs and feet and the limited ammunition, the enemy quickly rushed to his side. Lu Fuzhi was lying in the impact point, with one leg bleeding gurglingly, and his cotton clothes and face were handsome and black.

Several soldiers saw Lu Fuzhi in the impact point. They chattered and surrounded him.

When they saw Lu Fuzhi holding two grenades in his arms, they were shocked and turned around and ran away.

"You still want to run away!" Lu Fuzhi was already prepared to sacrifice. He suddenly gained strength, kicked off the ground with his good leg, and rolled down.

With a bang, he exploded among the enemy and died heroically.

After Company Commander Sun inspected the situation of each platoon, he found that the total strength of the four platoons was only more than forty people, and only one squad of Xia Yuan was left in the fourth platoon. Most of the soldiers in the two squads died in the fight with the enemy.

The first squad leader, Gao Lin, fought until the end. Only two people were left in the squad. The enemy's attack was fierce. The soldier was killed in the shelling. He carried the blasting barrel and rushed into the enemy, dying together with the enemy.

The second squad leader, Zhou Wen, unfortunately died in the middle lane during a fierce battle with the enemy. The entire squad of soldiers were like nails, nailed to the position.

Zhao Xiaoyi was a communications soldier in the fourth platoon, but in the end, he fought with the enemy and used his thin body to kill three enemies in a row. The bayonet was too late to use, so he threw the gun on the ground and pounced on him. Struggled with the enemy, he pressed his eyes with his hands and bit his ears with his teeth.

He rolled down the hillside with an enemy in his arms and died heroically.

There is not a single coward in the four rows.
