Hall asked for two companies of troops to pursue him, and said to DeVries with some arrogance, "Colonel, we American soldiers like to fight against the strong the most. This is the first time we have met these Chinese people. They have strong fighting capabilities. It is the Americans who
Soldiers look for opponents who will not be timid."
Hall's words were irritating, and Colonel De Vries felt uncomfortable. The Dutch battalion came to the Korean battlefield and had no results yet. Eliminating these Chinese people might be an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so Colonel De Vries issued an order, "Wendal
Lieutenant Colonel, order Major Krull to stay and guard the road with a platoon of troops while the others pursue south."
The officers of the Dutch Battalion are all highly ranked. According to the US military establishment, Wendal is a battalion adjutant, Krul is a company commander, and the highest rank of the two is captain. Hall is the chief of staff of the US Army's Class A field regiment. In Patton's
He participated in the battle to capture Berlin under his command, and his military rank was only a major.
The Dutch battalion soldiers had no experience in jungle warfare. They crowded together and climbed up the hillside. Hall looked at the swarm of Dutch soldiers, frowned, and reminded, "Colonel de Vries, immediately order the soldiers to disperse and keep each other safe."
They are separated by more than three meters and are crowded together like this. If they are attacked, they will cause a lot of casualties. These Chinese people are not large in number and their fighting power is not weak."
"Pah, pah, pah -" Dutch battalion soldiers fired fiercely while climbing the mountain. Of course, these shots were basically blind shots. One was to embolden themselves, and the other was to intimidate the enemy.
The mountains in this area are all four to five hundred meters high. The mountains are gentle and the trees are dense. Most of them are tall birch trees. With the birch trees as handholds, it is not difficult to climb. Holland Camp quickly climbed to a distance from the top of the mountain.
On the hillside more than 100 meters away, De Vries became more confident and said to Hall, "Major Hall, you are overestimating a few Chinese people. They are all cowards and will only run away."
"Pah -" a Dutchman soldier walking in front of De Vries on the left was shot in the chest. He screamed and fell under a birch tree. "Pah, pah -" several gunshots rang out in succession, and then another
Several Dutch battalion soldiers were shot, and the Chinese fought back. Hall hurriedly shouted, "Get down, get down, fight back!"
Liu Santang and Chen Jiushan separated, and took the second and third squads of soldiers to climb to a place fifty meters away from the top of the mountain and took cover. Liu Santang hid behind a boulder, watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, "Boom, boom——"
The explosion sounded and thick smoke billowed on the highway. Liu Santang knew that Chen Jiushan was already at war with the US military and named him: "Second Squad Leader, Third Squad Leader, be ready for battle and follow my orders."
After a few minutes, Chen Jiushan led the first squad to withdraw back. Liu Santang hurriedly waved and asked Chen Jiushan to lead the first squad to withdraw to the top of the mountain. Lu Chen was walking at the end, but was stopped by Liu Santang, "Lu Chen, you stay."
Lu Chen came to the boulder where Liu Santong was invisible and asked, "Liu Deputy Zhi, is something wrong?"
Liu Santang replied: "Your shooting skills are good and very useful in jungle combat. We will need to shoot from a distance later."
After a few minutes, the Dutch battalion caught up with them. Their dark blue military uniforms and red, white and blue flags were obviously different from those of the US military. The second pillar on the side asked doubtfully, "Lu Chen, how come these US troops are different from the ones we wiped out yesterday?"
Each group is different, the military uniforms and flags are different, the U.S. military flag has yellow stars on it, and the U.S. military has changed its uniforms."
Lu Chen had just launched an attack at the foot of the mountain. Lu Chen also felt the difference between this group of American troops. The battle was urgent. He didn't have time to take a closer look. When he saw the military uniforms of the Dutch battalion, he thought about it and said, "Didn't we receive education before the war? Come to Korea to participate in the war."
There are more than a dozen countries in the world. This military flag seems familiar to me, but I can’t remember which country it belongs to.”
Most of the Dutch Battalion soldiers had no experience in jungle combat. They climbed the mountain to travel and swaggered. More than a hundred meters away from the boulder where Liu Santang was invisible, Liu Santang picked up the Mosin Nagant rifle, clicked the bolt, and ordered:
"Attention all, fire."
Lu Chen said hurriedly, "Deputy Liu, the distance is too far. We should wait until the enemy fires within fifty meters."
Liu Santang replied: "Our mission is to lure the enemy, not to block it. If we are too close, we will easily be entangled by the enemy. We will evacuate after a few shots."
"Pa—" Liu Santang pulled the trigger and fired a bullet. The bullet hit a Dutchman soldier who was more than a hundred meters away. The Dutchman soldier shook his body and threw himself on the hillside.
"Pa--" Following Liu Santang, Lu Chen also fired a shot. A Dutch Battalion machine gunner, with an American Browning light machine gun on his shoulder, swaggered up from the hillside, positioning slightly forward.
, more than 90 meters away from Lu Chen. Because the Dutch Battalion machine gunner was wearing a helmet, Lu Chen's muzzle was slightly lower, and the bullet hit the Dutch Battalion machine gunner in the abdomen.
"Ta-ta--" Erzhu held a Bobosha submachine gun and fired fiercely, quickly cutting off the two Dutch soldiers. They were suddenly attacked. More than 200 Dutch soldiers who rushed up the hillside quickly fell down.
On the hillside, there were thick trees. The Dutch Battalion soldiers lay under the trees. The trees were thick and they quickly lost their target.
Seeing that the U.S. troops in front of him had taken cover, and there was no point in continuing to fight, Liu Santang waved his hand and ordered, "Second Pillar, Lu Chen, retreat, retreat to the top of the mountain, quickly!"
Lu Chen followed Liu Santang and climbed out to the top of the mountain. "Pah, pah—" the sound of an American M1 assault rifle sounded behind him, and Dutch soldiers chased after him.
Suddenly attacked, De Vries lay on the ground and did not dare to move. He was silent for a while. In the telescope, he saw only a few scattered Chinese soldiers climbing to the top of the mountain. In only a few minutes, his side lost more than a dozen soldiers.
, suffered a big loss, De Vries still has the rank of colonel anyway, and he also wants to save face, being played by such a few Chinese people.
De Vries was angry and stood up and shouted, "Brothers, rush to the top of the mountain. You must not let these Chinese people go. Come up to me!"
Since the Dutch battalion soldiers entered North Korea, there has not been a major war. The US military successfully defeated the North Korean army and quickly advanced towards the Yalu River. They followed the US military and marched with the US military in a victorious manner. They were very relaxed and thought that this was what the war was like.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly encountered a strong opponent. I saw several companions around me disappear in an instant and lost their lives. My heart was filled with fear. I had to execute the order and climbed to the top of the mountain tremblingly one by one.
Ten minutes later, the Dutch battalion soldiers climbed to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was flat and covered with birch trees. More than a dozen Chinese people were missing. Hall looked at the surrounding situation. The top of the mountain was a thousand miles away from the road at the foot of the mountain in a straight line.
Duomi felt that there was something wrong. This group of Chinese people were very cunning and good at detours.
Hall suggested to DeVries, "Colonel DeVries, I feel something is wrong. We may have been fooled. This group of Chinese are very cunning and good at outflanking. We should stop the pursuit and retreat to the road immediately."
