The attacking U.S. Army was defeated, and the Pershing tank driven by U.S. Lieutenant Jason was left alone. Jin Wang put an explosive bag under his arm, crawled to the ground, and prepared to blast the Pershing tank. Although the tank was a giant steel behemoth, at that time
Infantry protection and cooperation are also required.
Through the observation hole, Jason knew that his tank was in an isolated position, and it was meaningless to attack forward. Jason quickly turned the body around, turned on the horsepower, "Quack, quack—" and drove towards the east of the US military position.
The speed of the Pershing tank could reach up to 40 kilometers per hour, which was beyond the reach of manpower. It quickly left the soldiers of the Ninth Company behind.
On the Korean battlefield, the Chinese people were amazed by the powerful industrial manufacturing capabilities of the United States. Tanks could actually run so fast. In order to prevent U.S. bombardment, Feng Ren ordered, "Quickly, withdraw to the fortifications and prepare to prevent enemy artillery fire."
It was close to six o'clock in the evening, and before the Qingchuan River Bridge position was captured, a tank was blown up. The US commander, Major Langdon, felt anxious and ordered artillery bombardment again. At the same time, he ordered Lieutenant Harrison and Lieutenant Sims to lead the attack.
As the troops attacked with artillery fire, the shells exploded with a protective layer of thirty meters. In layman's terms, the shelling would not stop until the U.S. assault troops were thirty meters away from the Chinese army's position.
"Concrete, concrete -, boom, boom -" More than a dozen 105 howitzer shells fell on the Qingchuan River Bridge position. The US military was in a desperate posture. Langdon and Hall carried the M1 Garand rifle and followed
Behind the American assault team, they rushed toward the Qingchuan River Bridge position.
The D field army pays attention to tactics and rarely fights head-on with the enemy. The U.S. tank was blown up and the infantry charge team was routed. Feng Ren knew that the U.S. military would retaliate soon, so he ordered the troops to retreat to the left and right wings and get out of the way to avoid the U.S. artillery fire.
The shelling did not cause much damage to the Ninth Company.
The U.S. military's artillery fire extended, and the U.S. military attacked with the artillery fire. What Feng Ren did not expect was that the U.S. military's artillery fire suddenly stopped bombarding, and the attacking U.S. troops also suddenly withdrew. The U.S. commander Major Langdon was preparing to launch a final attack, preparing for a decisive battle with the Chinese army.
A US military observer reported to Langdon, "Sir, a large number of Chinese troops with an unknown number have appeared on the Qingchuan River on the north side. They have occupied the northern peak. We are in danger of being surrounded."
The main force of the Chinese Army arrived. Langdon was caught off guard and hurriedly discussed with Hall, "Major Hall, the main force of the Chinese Army has arrived and we are in danger. What should we do?"
At this point, Hall replied without thinking, "Brother Langdon, retreat quickly. We must not let the Chinese surround us. The lives of American soldiers are extremely noble. We are a mechanized force. The Chinese cannot catch up with just two legs."
our."
The U.S. military is a mechanized force and retreats at an alarming speed. All the soldiers climbed onto the trucks. The Pershing tank driven by Second Lieutenant Jason broke away. In less than half an hour, they left the camp and retreated northeast along the road.
At the critical moment of the U.S. military's crazy attack, regiment chief of staff Han Lide led the seventh, fifth and eighth companies to the Qingchuan River Bridge position and were preparing to outflank the U.S. troops. Unexpectedly, the U.S. troops were highly alert and quickly withdrew.
After cleaning the battlefield, everyone excitedly gathered around the Pershing tank with its broken track. Ha Dajiang stood on top of the tank and asked Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, don't you know how to drive a tank? How about it, come up and try it."
Lu Chen patted the tank tracks and said regretfully, "This is a US Army Pershing tank. It is a heavy tank. Just connect the tracks and it can move."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Liu Santang immediately said, "We also have tank troops ourselves. Let's inform the comrades of the tank troops to come over and see if the Pershing tanks are worth repairing. The Ha Da River must be protected and not destroyed."
At the Qingchuan River Bridge position, Feng Ren saluted Han Lide, "Chief of Staff, the Ninth Company has completed the task assigned by the regiment leader and has secured the Qingchuan River Bridge position. Please give instructions from the Chief of Staff."
Han Lide returned the courtesy and said, "Feng Ren, you are amazing. Not only did you seize the Qingchuan River Bridge position, but you also repelled the crazy attack of the US military. You are worthy of being the sharp knife company in the regiment."
Because it was getting late, the 7th Company, 5th Company, and 8th Company could only camp at the Qingchuan River Bridge position. During the battle, several bonfires were lit, and the soldiers had a hot meal - roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, and salted ham.
Bu, cucumber soup.
Feng Ren, Cheng Min, and Liu Santang were dining with Chief of Staff Han Lide. Seventh Company Commander Qiu Mingliang came over and shouted happily when he saw Feng Ren, "Old Feng, you are really good. You actually blew up a US heavy tank.
Tell me what you can do." Qiu Mingliang sat next to Feng Ren and put his arm around Feng Ren's shoulders.
Feng Ren pushed Qiu Mingliang away and said with a serious face, "Qiu Mingliang, is this what you should call me Lao Feng? Do you want to call your brothers over? I will tell them a story about a coward. As soon as I heard the Japanese
He burrowed his head into the sorghum field and exposed his buttocks to the sound of gunshots, and was kicked several times by me."
"Haha--" After Feng Ren finished speaking, Han Lide, Liu Santang, and Cheng Min couldn't stop laughing. Qiu Mingliang's face turned red, and he put his arm around Feng Ren's shoulders and said, "Old squad leader, old squad leader, it was my fault. I didn't hit anyone."
Face, don’t mention this glorious history of mine anymore. Now in the eyes of the brothers, I am a tall and heroic figure."
Han Lide said with a smile, "Feng Ren, you can't kill without a nod. Don't mention the past anymore. Qiu Mingliang is now the commander of the main company. He participated in the military parade at Nanyuan Airport and was reviewed by the leader."
Feng Ren shook his head and sighed, "Hey, Qiu Mingliang is so lucky. Our company was on a mission at the time, and their company was responsible for airport security. The delegation was inspected by the leader."
U.S. Army Lieutenant Sims and Harris received orders during the retreat and were responsible for blocking the Chinese Army at 630 Heights. With Lieutenant Sims as the commander and Harris assisting, the strength was five platoons, one hundred and fifty
The remaining people.
The so-called 630 Highland is a mountain peak on the left side of the highway. The peak is more than 400 meters high, with sparse trees and protruding rocks. The mountain is steep and almost straight up and down. It is 20 kilometers away from the Qingchuan River Bridge. Sims has just passed the Qingchuan River.
Bridge was defeated and doubtful.
Harris had an aggressive temperament and fought bravely. He looked at the geographical situation of Highland 630 and said comfortingly, "Lieutenant Sims, the terrain here is difficult and easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we hold on for twenty-four hours, we will complete the mission."
,Although the Chinese army is tenacious, they do not have heavy artillery, so it is not that easy to attack the mountains."
Although he had objections in his heart, the order had to be carried out. Sims ordered the soldiers to build a ring fortification on the top of the mountain. The materials for building the fortification were mainly trees and stones. The main weapons were two M2 Browning heavy machine guns and four American 60s.
