The U.S. soldier swung the M1 Garand rifle and knocked back Chen Jiushan with one move. He tasted the sweetness. Although the Chinese soldiers were agile in their movements, they were not as strong or tall as the U.S. soldiers. The U.S. soldier swung the M1 Garand rifle and hit him a second time.
To Chen Jiushan.
Again and again, Chen Jiushan could see that the American soldiers in front of him were using brute force and could not give him a second chance. Chen Jiushan stepped forward, picked up his M1 assault rifle, and stabbed the American soldiers fiercely.
"Puff——" The triangular bayonet of the M1 assault rifle penetrated deeply into the abdomen of the American soldier.
The second pillar held a Browning light machine gun in his hand, which was not suitable for close combat. The second pillar put down the Browning light machine gun, picked up an M1 Garand rifle discarded by a US soldier, and rushed towards the US military.
Second Pillar was short in stature, quick in movement, and had a bright head. He saw an American soldier fighting with Hada Jiang. Although the American soldier was tall, he was forced back by Hada River. Second Pillar saw the opportunity and made a sneak attack from the side and rear.
He stepped forward, picked up the M1 Garand rifle and stabbed at the American soldier. "Poof -" the double-edged bayonet of the M1 Garand rifle penetrated deeply into the back of the American soldier.
Erzhu kicked the American soldier away and said to Ha Dajiang with a smile, "Dajiang, I was afraid that the American soldiers would hurt you, so I took action first. Fortunately, I took action in time."
Ha Dajiang was about to stab the American soldier. Unexpectedly, Er Zhuzhu beat him to it. Er Zhuzhu spoke plausibly and said that he was here to help him. He stomped his feet angrily, "Er Zhuzhu, you got the advantage and acted like a good boy. Behind your back
A sneak attack is not a good man."
Li Zhuo held a Bobosha submachine gun in his hand. The gun body and bayonet were only 1.3 meters tall and were not suitable for bayonet use. He was forced back by a tall American soldier. There was a melee between the two armies and he did not dare to shoot.
Afraid of hurting his own people, at the critical moment, a gunshot rang out and a bullet hit the American soldier's chest. The American soldier swayed and fell down.
Liu Santang was located high on the hillside, more than fifty meters away from the battlefield. He was holding a Mosin-Nagant rifle. When he saw Li Zhuo's dangerous situation on the battlefield, he shot the American soldier first. The two armies were fighting in a melee. If he dared to shoot, he needed to
Excellent marksmanship and shooting on the battlefield where the two armies are fighting are Liu Santang's strengths.
A U.S. soldier struggled with Jin Wang. The U.S. soldier was tall and had an advantage. He pinned Jin Wang down. The U.S. soldier took off his helmet and prepared to hit Jin Wang's head. "Bang——" from a distance
A bullet flew and hit the American soldier in the head. The American soldier shook his body and fell down.
Lu Chen and Liu Santong were in the same position. They saw a US soldier scuffling with Jin Wang, and the two tossed and turned. Lu Chen was anxious and did not dare to shoot.
In an instant, the American soldier took over the top, rode on Jin Wang, and took off his helmet. The target was obvious. Giving Lu Chen a chance, Lu Chen decisively fired, hitting the American soldier in the head.
Close combat requires courage and skill. Chinese soldiers have an advantage in this regard. Soldiers of the D Field Army have always valued honor, honor is more important than life, and have a tenacious style. On the other hand, the American soldiers are much worse. They feel extremely frightened when they see the bloody bayonets.
, the two sides fought in melee for dozens of minutes, and the American troops were defeated and fled down the hillside in panic, leaving behind more than 20 corpses.
After a short bayonet battle, Liu Santang counted the number of people and found that his side was intact. Only Jin Wang was slightly injured. He won a complete victory. He shouted happily, "Brothers, well done, let the Americans know the power of our nine bayonet companies."
.”
Lu Chen reminded, "Deputy Liu, platoon leader, we must evacuate immediately and retreat to the top of the mountain. I estimate that the US military will soon shell us." Having fought with the US military against the Japanese in Burma for several years, Lu Chen was very familiar with the US military.
, the US military controls firepower and never skimps on artillery shells.
Lu Chen's words reminded Chen Jiushan and he hurriedly issued an order, "Dajiang, Second Pillar, quickly, retreat to the top of the mountain to avoid the American artillery fire."
The hillside we are on is still more than 200 meters away from the top of the mountain. Following Chen Jiushan's order, Ha Dajiang and Erzhu led the soldiers of the first and second squads to retreat to the top of the mountain. Lu Chen and Liu Santang walked at the end.
There were still twenty or thirty meters away from the top of the mountain, and the sound of flying artillery shells could be heard in the air.
"Lie down, lie down -" Lu Chen shouted, pulling Liu Santong to lie down under an elm tree, "Boom, boom, boom -" Rows of 101-type 105mm howitzer shells fell like raindrops.
On the hillside, there was deafening smoke, thick smoke billowing, and a few birch tree trunks burst into flames.
In just a few minutes, the hillside turned into a sea of flames. However, the Americans were stubborn. Their preconception was that the Chinese troops on the hillside would not hide away, but raised their heads, waiting to be hit by American shells.
.
Half an hour after the bombardment, the retreating U.S. troops at the foot of the mountain began to charge again. "Click, click, click--" Bullets were flying randomly. Liu Santang looked at his watch. It was close to seven o'clock in the evening and the sun had already set. Liu Santang ordered:
, "Lu Chen, look at the situation of the company commander and instructor."
Lu Chen's Zeiss telescope was of great use. Lu Chen raised the Zeiss telescope and looked towards the main position. The main position was also filled with smoke, and several tree trunks were still burning. However, the soldiers of the Ninth Company could no longer be seen.
, Lu Chen handed the Zeiss binoculars to Liu Santang and reported: "Deputy Liu pointed out that our people are no longer visible from the main position. The company commander and instructors have evacuated."
Liu Santang raised the Zeiss telescope and saw that there was no one in the main position. His heart dropped. The Ninth Company had successfully completed the blocking mission and should evacuate immediately.
Both charges were about to break through the mountaintop position when they succeeded. Both were attacked from the left wing. Lieutenant Colonel Bill, deputy commander of the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 13th US Infantry Division, was angry and said, I really don’t understand the Chinese tactics.
, decided to give up the charge on the unknown high ground, and ordered Battalion Commander Kenderson to personally lead two companies of US troops to launch an attack on the hillside on the left, and must destroy this hateful Chinese army.
Captain Moore was seriously wounded. Major Kenderson, commander of the third battalion of the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 13th Infantry Division of the US Army, personally supervised the battle and launched a fierce attack on the hillside on the left.
Major Kenderson is also a veteran. He once served as the adjutant of General Walker (a famous American general). Kenderson is also a little confused about the Chinese tactics. The Chinese tactics are always evasive and confusing.
Looking at the American soldiers swarming at the foot of the mountain, Chen Jiushan and Liu Santong discussed, "Deputy Commander Liu, we have completed the task of blocking the enemy and must evacuate immediately. You and Lu Chen go start the truck and wait on the road. Me and
Dajiang, the two pillars took turns to cover, retreated to the road, and evacuated by truck."
