Chapter 37 Sneak Attack on the U.S. Artillery Position 2
At three o'clock in the morning, the team that raided the US artillery position set off. Liu Santang and Lu Chen were equipped with Mosin Nagant rifles, Chen Jiuming and Ha Dajiang were equipped with American M1 assault rifles, and Jin Wang was equipped with Bobosha submachine guns.
Zhuzi, Li Zhuo is equipped with a Browning light machine gun.
In order to seize the Browning light machine gun, Li Zhuo went out without authorization and received severe criticism. Because he had a task to perform, the instructor Cheng Min approved the Browning light machine gun to be given to Li Zhuo for temporary use. As for whether the Browning light machine gun will be returned to him in the future.
Li Zhuo's use depends on Li Zhuo's future performance.
Although Li Zhuo was dissatisfied, he did not dare to say anything more and begged Liu Santang to find the instructor Cheng Min to intercede.
Liu Santang came to Cheng Min to plead for mercy, and Cheng Min agreed to Li Zhuo's use of the Browning light machine gun. Cheng Min had something to say first. If there were any more violations of discipline, the Browning light machine gun would be withdrawn.
Chen Jiushan divided the team into three combat groups: Liu Santang and Lu Chen were in a group responsible for cover and sniping; Ha Dajiang was in a group with Erzhu; Chen Jiushan, Li Zhuo, and Jin Wang were in a group, and the D Field Army Army
Fighting King, the grassroots fighting organization has strong combat effectiveness.
Songheli is more than 3,000 meters away from the US artillery position in a straight line, but it cannot go directly there, which will easily attract the attention of the US military. The team first went south, passed the stone bridge, walked south, and then turned northeast. After nearly two hours of
Marched to the side of the American camp.
The US military camp is located in an open space on the right side of the road. There are more than 30 tents in two rows. There are US soldiers patrolling around the tents. There is also an American armored vehicle parked on the road. It is still early and most of the US soldiers have not gotten up yet.
There are mountain peaks on both sides of the road. The mountain on the left is gentle, with sparse trees on the hillside, and is full of sorghum and corn fields. Although it is early winter, the sorghum and corn fields have not been harvested. It is obvious that the owners of the sorghum and corn fields are not harvested.
Because of the war, he ran away without knowing where he was going and had no time to take care of the crops in the field.
The mountain peak on the right side of the road is steep and densely wooded, with elms and birches scattered among each other, which is suitable for covert and mountain operations. Liu Santang and Chen Jiushan directed everyone to hide on the hillside. Ha Dajiang looked at the US military camp, shook his head and said, "Hey, only
An armored vehicle, but no howitzers were seen, it must have been hidden by the Americans."
Second Pillar pointed at a forest in front of him and said, "Liu Lieutenant pointed out, look where it is, it seems to be a howitzer." Liu Santang looked in the direction of Second Pillar's finger, and sure enough, in a forest, several guns appeared and disappeared.
The howitzer is covered with a grass curtain made of weeds. If you don't look carefully, you really can't tell that there is a howitzer in the woods.
After finding the US howitzer position, everyone was extremely excited. Ha Dajiang suggested, "Jiu Shan, Deputy Commander Liu, let's rush down the mountain, blow up the howitzer, and evacuate immediately. If we keep going west, we will be in line."
Lu Chen disagreed with Ha Dajiang's suggestion, "Squad leader, the American M101 105mm howitzer has a complex structure. I have seen it in India. Our grenades and grenades will not work at all unless we have explosive packs. We will go on like this rashly."
, not only cannot destroy the American 105mm howitzer, but it will also expose ourselves."
Liu Santang saw the US artillery position right in front of him. Although he felt a little anxious, he had to admit that Lu Chen's words made sense. "Lu Chen, we admit that what you said makes sense, but now that we have found the US artillery position, we must find a way."
Destroy it and say what you think."
Lu Chen looked at the road at the foot of the mountain and thought for a while before replying, "Liu Zhi pointed out, a row is long, the trees in the woods are dense and can block the sky. It cannot be used as an artillery position. I estimate that when the US military wants to fire artillery, it will definitely use American
The 105mm howitzer was dragged onto the road. Once the US artillery arrived on the road and the target was obvious, we launched an attack to eliminate the US artillery. Artillery is a technical branch. Without artillery, the American 105mm howitzer would not be of much use."
Liu Santang discussed with Chen Jiushan, "First platoon leader, what do you think of Lu Chen's suggestion?"
In the past, Chen Jiushan would raise some objections to Lu Chen's suggestions. This time Chen Jiushan responded readily, "Deputy Liu, I think Lu Chen's suggestions are good. At present, we have no better way. The US artillery positions must be destroyed."
, since it is difficult to destroy the howitzers, we will destroy the US artillery."
Finally, Chen Jiushan divided the work. Ha Dajiang, Erzhu, Chen Jiushan, Li Zhuo, and Jin Wang were divided into two combat groups. They were ambushed on the side of the road in advance. Two Browning light machine guns with powerful firepower were responsible for attacking the U.S. military.
The artillerymen, Liu Santang, and Lu Chen stayed put on the hillside, responsible for covering and sniping.
After Chen Jiushan finished the arrangement, he led Ha Dajiang and others down the hillside and hid in the woods on the left side of the road, more than 30 meters away from the road. Liu Santang and Lu Chen hid behind two rocks respectively, waiting for the US artillery attack.
action.
The weather was good today. At six o'clock in the morning, the clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the blue sky. The US military had already begun to take action. Groups of US soldiers came out of their tents, fully armed, and walked toward Songheli in the west. Liu Santang asked,
"Lu Chen, how many people do you estimate there are in the US military?"
Lu Chen counted the tents and replied, "Thirty-one tents, about 600 people, more than five times our number. The U.S. military has strong transportation capabilities, and Yishi's truck transportation will soon transport a group if necessary.
Bring the troops here."
Sure enough, as Lu Chen expected, at 6:30 in the morning, a group of US soldiers, numbering about thirty people, came to the woods on the left side of the road, dragged the American 105mm howitzer onto the road, and removed the weeds.
There are eight howitzers in total, divided into three rows, each row is twenty meters apart.
Each American 105mm howitzer has several American soldiers carrying shells, cleaning the barrel, waiting for orders, and preparing to fire. "Click, click, click--" came the sound of dense Browning light machine guns from the west.
It is a prelude to the US military's attack and a test of firepower.
"Boom -" a grenade landed next to an American 105mm howitzer on the right side of the road and exploded. Two US soldiers were blown away. Chen Jiushan saw that the US artillery had been launched on the road, and felt that the night was long and the dream was too much. Once the US military opened fire,
I don't know how many brothers were killed, so I took advantage of my ability to accurately throw grenades and threw a grenade first.
The sneak attack was very dangerous. The U.S. artillery position was located at the left rear of the U.S. military camp. It was less than 200 meters away from the U.S. military camp. Hundreds of U.S. troops were not far away. The actions of Chen Jiushan and several people felt like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth.
"Boom, boom -" Ha Dajiang, Erzhu, Li Zhuo and Jin Wang followed Chen Jiushan and threw grenades, and the US artillery position was immediately shrouded in smoke.
