Lu Chen threw a grenade, temporarily blocking the pursuit of the US military. Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Santang and Lu Chen ran down the mountain. A few minutes later, the two came to the small river. The river was more than 20 meters wide and the water was very shallow.
, it is also very clear and can be crossed. In early winter, some places are already frozen.
Liu Santang looked at the situation around him. Several American soldiers followed him and said to Lu Chen, "We can't stay here. We must cross the river immediately and stop the enemy on the other side of the river. Hurry!" After Liu Santang finished speaking, he jumped quickly.
Enter the river and run towards the other side.
It has to be said that Liu Santang's decision was very risky. There was no obstruction on the river. If they were discovered by American soldiers, the two of them would become living targets. In critical moments, the only option was to take a risk. The river was freezing and biting, and Liu Santang and Lu Chen couldn't control it.
If there are too many, run towards the other side.
Fortunately, they were not discovered by the US military. The two of them reached the other side of the river smoothly. There was a pine forest on the other side of the river. Liu Santong and Lu Chen hid behind a pine tree trunk, lying on the ground, holding Mosin Nagant rifles, observing the river surface.
There was a lot of movement and a rustling sound on the river bank, and several American soldiers chased them to the bank.
The U.S. troops all wore high leather boots and paid no attention to a shallow river. A U.S. soldier, who seemed to be a small leader, shouted, "Fast, pursue!" There were only two people on both sides.
At a distance of more than ten meters, the American soldiers shouted to each other, and Lu Chen could hear them clearly.
An American soldier jumped into the river first and ran towards the other side. "Pah!" Liu Santang shot first. The bullet hit the chest of the American soldier. The American soldier threw himself into the river. The blood that poured out was quickly stained.
The river water turned red.
"Pa—" Lu Chen shot an American soldier on the opposite bank of the river. The American soldier was about to cross the river and had already stepped into the river with one foot. Lu Chen did not give him a chance to enter the river with the other foot. He decisively
After firing, the famous American soldier shouted loudly and fell on the river bank.
"Drop down,Enemy on the other side of the
River (Lie down, the enemy is on the other side of the river)!" A US soldier shouted, "Da da, da da -" followed by fierce shooting from the M3A1 submachine gun, the pine tree trunk where Lu Chen was hiding was hit by bullets, and the trunk
Shaking violently, leaves fell down.
Liu Santang waved to Lu Chen, signaling Lu Chen to evacuate immediately and not to get entangled with the enemy. The two quickly left the river bank and ran to the southeast. The southeast was far away from the road and was safer among the elm forests.
Major Hall was defeated by the Chinese army twice. He was aggrieved. He suggested to his superiors that the high mountains and dense forests in this area and the vast territory were not conducive to the movement of troops. A small force should be sent to secretly search the mountains. Moreover, Hall
He also recommended his subordinate Harrison as the commander of the small unit.
There are many reasons for the strong military power of the United States. However, it has a lot to do with the respected status of American soldiers. It is an honor to join the military in the United States. For example, Lieutenant Harrison, a New Yorker and the son of an American financial tycoon, served in the military a few years ago.
, participated in the Battle of El Alamein in North Africa and the landing in Sicily. Most US presidents have military resumes.
Lieutenant Harrison led two infantry platoons and a mortar platoon to form a small search team. One US military platoon had forty people, and one mortar platoon had six American M-1 mortars.
American M-1 mortar - an 81 mm medium-sized mortar. It has been equipped with troops since the 1930s. The artillery consists of a gun body, a square base plate, a sight and an M-4 gun mount. It can be broken down into 3 pieces.
Packable and easy to carry, it is an essential equipment for mountain warfare. It was a medium-sized mortar widely used by the US military during World War II and the Korean War.
The main parameters of the American M-1 mortar: maximum rate of fire, 30--35 rounds/minute, gun body length 1278 mm, various types of ammunition, conventional ammunition, total gun weight 61.5 kg, maximum range 3000 meters.
Harrison led the search team and set off at one o'clock in the morning. It was still dark. The reason why he chose one o'clock in the morning was also the opinion of Major Hall. This could increase the stealth of the operation and achieve an unexpected effect. Major Hall's idea
When it was about to come true, Harrison led the search team to the Ninth Company's camp by mistake. The closest distance between the two sides was only fifty meters.
Liu Santang and Lu Chen discovered Harrison's search team in time and opened fire quickly, attracting Harrison to pursue north. Harrison was fooled and ordered his subordinates to pursue north. The Ninth Company escaped the encounter with Harrison's search team.
At around four o'clock in the morning, the sudden sound of gunfire woke up the ninth company commander Feng Ren. Feng Ren was experienced in combat and heard the gunfire coming from the top of the mountain. Seeing that the soldiers were all awake, he hurriedly asked, "Now, the top of the mountain is on alert."
Whose business?"
Erzhuzi hurriedly replied, "Report to the company commander that the ones on the top of the mountain are Liu Fuzhi and Lu Chen. They will take my shift."
Instructor Cheng Min immediately judged, "The enemy is attacking. Santong and Lu Chen are at war with the enemy. Let's go take a look."
Feng Ren agreed with Cheng Min, "It must be Santong and Lu Chen who exchanged fire with the enemy. Everyone immediately dispersed in battle formation, Jiu Shan, Jin Gui, go up to the top of the mountain."
The Ninth Company's camp was only fifty meters away from the top of the mountain. Feng Ren, Cheng Min, Chen Jiushan, and Jin Gui quickly climbed up to the top of the mountain. "Click, click, click—" gunshots continued. The number of U.S. troops was unknown, and most of them
The figure is hidden in the dense trees and is chasing north.
Feng Ren held the shell gun and asked Cheng Min for his opinion, "Instructor, fight or not, the US military is chasing Santong and Lu Chen. We can take advantage of the chaos and sneak attack behind the US military."
Cheng Min expressed his different opinions, "Old Feng, after several battles, the US military's combat effectiveness is not weak, they are familiar with jungle warfare, and their firepower has an absolute advantage. Once we exchange fire with the US military, it will be easy to be entangled by the US military and it will be difficult to escape.
.”
Cheng Min explained: "Santong and Lu Chen led the enemy north to cover our evacuation. The regiment leader has ordered us to return to the team immediately. We still have important tasks. We cannot tangle with the enemy here."
Although Feng Ren was a little impatient, he had to admit that Cheng Min's judgment was very rational and the military orders were overwhelming, but he was still a little unwilling to do so, "Hey, we just left Santong and Lu Chen behind. Our Ninth Company did not leave our brothers behind."
precedent!"
Cheng Min suggested, "Old Feng, we can send a small team to follow the US military to find Santong and Lu Chen. Santong has rich combat experience, and Lu Chen is also a veteran. Both of them are sharpshooters. The trees here are dense, and the area
If the Americans want to eliminate them, it won’t be that easy.”
Chen Jiushan was on the sidelines. Hearing Cheng Min say that he would send a small force to find Liu Santong and Lu Chen, he hurriedly called for a fight: "Company commander, instructor, I will take people there. Our platoon is well equipped with M1 assault rifles of the same color.
