Chapter 23 Breaking into the US military checkpoint
Williams, a sergeant of the Thirteenth Division of the U.S. Army, was ordered to guard the stone bridge. If the stone bridge was damaged, it would seriously affect the logistics supply of the U.S. military. Look at an American truck approaching from a distance with the license plate number, A13——352——
TC, as usual, needed to stop for inspection. Williams waved the command flag in his hand to indicate the stop for inspection.
This area belonged to the rear, and no Chinese or Korean troops were found. Williams saw an American truck approaching, but did not pay much attention.
Unexpectedly, more than 20 meters away from the stone bridge, the truck stalled. Several people with Asian faces got out of the truck. The driver said in slightly stiff English that the truck had broken down and needed to be repaired. Williams was the driver.
A car enthusiast who especially likes to drive off-road vehicles.
Although they are both Asians, there are still differences between Koreans and Chinese people. However, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, Asians all have the same face. Hearing that they were Korean soldiers, Williams relaxed his vigilance and carried an M1 Garand rifle.
Come over and say hello politely, "Partner, Can I help yo (partner, do you want to help)?"
Most American soldiers come from ordinary backgrounds and treat others warmly and equally. The truck driver, a young man in his twenties, politely replied, "Sir, the engine of the car
stalled,I don’t know the reason,Please help (Sir, the engine stalled, I don’t know the reason, please help).”
As a car enthusiast, Williams became curious, put his M1 Garand rifle and helmet aside, and leaned on the front of the truck to see the condition of the truck engine. Suddenly, Williams received a heavy blow to the head.
Immediately I felt dizzy, with stars in my eyes, I lay on the front of the car and passed out.
War is cruel. If in peacetime, Lu Chen and Williams, both car enthusiasts, might become good friends. They meet on the battlefield and fight to the death. Lu Chen follows Chen Jiushan's plan and pretends to repair cars to attract American soldiers on duty at the bridge.
Attention, a US Army sergeant, who looked very enthusiastic, came over to help Lu Chen repair the car. When the opportunity came, Lu Chen raised a steel wrench and hit the US Army sergeant on the back of the head hard.
Chen Jiushan was a quick shooter. When he saw Lu Chen knocking out the US Army sergeant, Chen Jiushan quickly picked up the M1 assault rifle and pointed it at an American soldier in front of the guard box. He pulled the trigger and fired.
The gun was fired, the distance between the two sides was only more than 20 meters, and the American soldier fell to the ground.
"Ta-da--" The one who shot Chen Jiushan was Erzhu. Erzhu held a Bobosha submachine gun in his hand. He fired a burst, and the two American soldiers on duty at the bridge were hit by several bullets and screamed.
, fell down, "Pop, tap, tap--" The soldiers of the third squad opened fire one after another. The American soldiers on guard were completely unprepared and were killed in confusion before they could react.
"Pa--" Liu Santang raised his Mosin-Nagant rifle and fired a shot at the top of the post box. An American soldier on guard on the top of the post box was shot, yelled and fell from the top of the post box.
A U.S. soldier reacted quickly, turned around and ran to the other end of the stone bridge. The length of the stone bridge was seventy or eighty meters. The U.S. soldier was just running in the middle of the stone bridge when a gunshot rang out behind him and a bullet hit him.
Behind the American soldier was Lu Chen, who picked up Sergeant Williams' M1 Garand rifle and fired a shot at the running American soldier.
"Ah——" the American soldier fell from the bridge to the water. In early winter, the river surface was covered with a thin layer of ice. "Boom——" The American soldier hit the thin ice, and the ice cracked and splashed.
Countless ice flowers and water splashes.
At the end of the battle, a total of nine U.S. soldiers, eight were killed and one was knocked unconscious.
Li Zhuo kicked Williams on the body and reported to Liu Santang, "Liu Zhuo pointed out, this guy is still a little angry and not dead. I will finish him off." With that, Li Zhuo picked up the M1 assault rifle and was about to shoot.
Liu Santang hurriedly stopped him, "Forget it, he is already unconscious and has lost the ability to resist. According to the discipline of our army, we cannot hurt him. We cannot violate battlefield discipline at any time. Go and clean the battlefield."
While cleaning the battlefield, Erzhu accidentally discovered that there was a Browning light machine gun in the guard box. Erzhu picked up the Browning light machine gun and couldn't put it down. He asked Liu Santang for instructions, "Liu Lieutenant, please let me use this machine gun."
Liu Santang understood Er Zhuzi's mood and could only say helplessly, "Er Zhuzi, this light machine gun is temporarily yours to use. When you return to the company, you will have to hand it over to the company and it will be distributed uniformly by the company."
Erzhuzi said very dissatisfied, "It's only temporary. Whoever captures it should belong to whoever captures it. You don't know how biased the instructor is!"
"Didi——" Lu Chen drove the American M35 truck onto the stone bridge. The stone bridge was very narrow and could pass a truck. There were no guardrails on both sides. The bridge was seven or eight meters high from the river. The American M35 truck was driving
On the bridge deck, the stone bridge trembled slightly, and everyone felt frightened. Fortunately, Lu Chen's driving skills were good, and the American M35 truck quickly passed the stone bridge.
Walking further northwest, we were almost at the regiment headquarters. This section of the road was a little flatter. Lu Chen stepped on the accelerator, and the American M35 truck accelerated. After more than an hour, we were almost at Songheli, and there was a sound coming from the mountain on the right.
The sound of gunfire and artillery, "Boom, boom——, click click——"
Chen Jiushan reacted quickly and hurriedly ordered Lu Chen to stop the car, get out of the car and discuss with Liu Santong, "Liu Deputy pointed out that the sound of gunfire seems to come from the other side of the mountain. Let's go over and take a look. Maybe the company commander's instructor and the US military are at war."
Liu Santang ordered Lu Chen to hide the American M35 truck in the bushes on the side of the road, and then led a dozen people to climb out to the top of the mountain. This area was not high, about three to four hundred meters, and was basically a hill. The slope was gentle.
There are patches of corn planted. In early winter, when the corn is harvested, patches of withered and yellow corn stalks are left.
After passing through a field of withered corn stalks, we climbed to the top of the mountain. The trees on the top of the mountain were dense, mostly Pinus sylvestris.
Pinus sylvestris is an evergreen tree with a height of 15-25 meters and a straight trunk. It is suitable for growing in the cold zone due to its cold resistance, drought resistance, barren resistance and wind resistance.
The span of the top of the mountain is more than 100 meters. Along the top of the mountain, more than 500 meters to the north, everyone came to the battlefield. On the opposite hill, the battle was fiercely going on, "Da da, da da——, boom——"
Countless American troops are attacking on the top of the hill, and thick smoke is billowing from the top of the hill.
Where Liu Santang, Chen Jiushan, and Lu Chen were, the hill opposite was about 1,500 meters away. Liu Santang ordered Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, look at which part of the hill opposite is."
Lu Chen raised the Zeiss telescope and looked at the hill opposite. The distance was too far. Lu Chen vaguely saw that a troop on the top of the hill was desperately fighting back, guarding the position on the top of the hill to prevent the US military from going up. "
Deputy Liu pointed out that the people on the top of the mountain opposite are our D Field Army in military uniforms and caps. We can’t see their faces clearly. The situation is critical. The U.S. military’s artillery fire is too fierce.”
