The attack of the Ninth Company was blocked. Gunner Liu Zheng asked Lu Chen to fire. The Ninth Company had two 60 mortars. One 60 mortar had just been blown up by the US military. There was only one left. Lu Chen came to the 60 mortar.
Get closer, aim at the roof of the red brick building, and readjust the parameters to a distance of 150 meters.
The shooting progress of Japanese mortars is not high, and it is somewhat difficult to accurately hit a target 150 meters away.
"Whoosh -" Lu Chen took a deep breath, calmed down, and threw a 60 mortar shell into the barrel. The shell flew out of the barrel and flew to the roof of the red brick building. The entire company was paying attention. Everyone was staring at the shell.
, my heart was full of hope, but also a little worried, after all, the first two shells were empty.
"Boom -" the 60 mortar shell landed on the roof of the red brick building, and landed on the left side of the U.S. M2 Browning heavy machine gun. With the sound of the shells exploding, the U.S. heavy machine gunner, several operators, and the M2 Burr
The Langning heavy machine gun flew down from the roof of the building together. "Okay, charge!" the soldiers of the Ninth Company shouted, jumped up from the ground, and rushed forward.
"Da da, da da -" intensive gunshots rang out from the second floor of the red brick building. The windows on the second floor were wide open. Several U.S. troops leaned on the windows and fired wildly. Almost all of them were equipped with Browning light machine guns. The U.S. troops were condescending and had the upper hand.
, the first row of soldiers were suppressed on the road.
Chen Jiushan looked at the surrounding terrain and gave a decisive order, "Second Pillar, Li Zhuo cover me, I'll rush downstairs and throw the grenade!"
"Da da, da da -" At the second pillar, Li Zhuo received Chen Jiushan's order, picked up an American Browning light machine gun and fired violently at the second floor, leaving countless bullet holes on the outer wall of the second floor.
Although Erzhuzi and Li Zhuo fired blindly, they still suppressed the US military's shooting. Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Jiushan bowed his body and rushed forward, and soon reached a place ten meters downstairs of the red brick building, "
Whoosh, whoosh——" Chen Jiushan threw two grenades, and the grenades flew into the second floor from the second floor window. "Boom, boom——" With two violent explosions, several American soldiers flew from the second floor window.
When I came out, smoke was rising all over the second floor.
Jin Wang rushed to the wall of the red brick building, set up an explosive package on the wall, ignited the explosive package, quickly ran back and ran a distance of seven or eight meters, and fell to the ground violently, "Boom -" the explosive package
The explosion nearly destroyed the southern wall of the red brick building.
Ha Dajiang, who was tall and long-legged, was the first to rush in through the breach in the wall that was blown down.
The first floor of the red brick building has a small window, which is a warehouse. Two injured American soldiers were lying on the ground groaning. There were dozens of iron boxes stacked inside. The iron boxes had English letters written on them. Ha Dajiang did not recognize them, but the iron boxes
Ha Dajiang saw the poster pattern on the poster and shouted excitedly, "Brothers, hurry up, they are all canned meat, and they all belong to our Ninth Company!"
The stairs were in the middle. Ha Dajiang rushed up to the second floor along the stairs. There was a corridor and three rooms on the second floor. Braving the thick smoke caused by the explosion, an American soldier injured his leg and stood against the corridor wall with his mouth full.
He stopped and said, "SIR, SIR (sir)."
Ha Dajiang didn't understand what the American soldiers were talking about. He thought the American soldiers were shouting at him. He picked up the M1 assault rifle in his hand and stabbed the American soldier in the abdomen with "poof-".
"Da da -" A US soldier who was lying on the ground in the corridor suddenly sat up, raised the pistol in his hand, and aimed at Hada Jiang to shoot. He was shot dead by Jin Wang who was following Hada Jiang behind him.
The Bobosha submachine gun fired in one burst, and three bullets hit the American soldier.
Ha Dajiang patted Jin Wang on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, act quickly."
In Ha Dajiang, Jin Wang inspected several rooms on the second floor. Inside, there were several corpses of American soldiers lying in various places. Two American soldiers were lying under the wall, covered in blood and there were faint moans. Jin Wang made waves.
The Bosha submachine gun was about to fire. Ha Dajiang patted Jin Wang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, they are seriously injured. Let them destroy themselves. The tradition of the Ninth Company is not to kill the wounded."
Lieutenant Colonel Walker, deputy commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 13th Division of the U.S. Army, received the order to hold in place and wait for reinforcements. Lieutenant Colonel Walker persisted for seven hours and withstood the fierce attack of the Chinese army. At this time, by
After receiving a report, a Chinese army invaded from the east gate and occupied the material warehouse.
Surrounded by enemies on three sides in the east, west and north, and facing the river on one side, Lieutenant Colonel Walker understood that he was surrounded and in dire straits. He originally left the east city gate to prepare for a breakout, but now it is also occupied by the Chinese army. More importantly, the Chinese army
They also occupied the supply warehouse. Without food supplies, the American soldiers would quickly collapse.
Lieutenant Colonel Walker hurriedly discussed countermeasures with his staff officer, Major Lane. Major Lane suggested, "Sir, the situation has changed. Our reinforcements have not arrived. We have been surrounded. Report our situation to the commander and we should break out immediately and
Please ask the commander-in-chief to send aircraft for support."
Major Lane also suggested that the east was the direction to break out of the encirclement. Major Lane judged that the Chinese army in the east was attacking quickly and fiercely, but judging from the sound of gunfire, the number of people was not large. To the south and north were the main positions of the Chinese army.
Lieutenant Colonel Walker agreed to Major Lane's plan and authorized Major Lane to command the breakout, handing over the remaining reserve company to Lane, along with a mortar platoon and four American 81mm mortars.
The mortar has a minimum range of 46 meters and a killing radius of 25 meters, making it very suitable for close combat.
"Boom, boom -" American 81mm mortar shells flew in the direction of the Ninth Company's attack like raindrops. The US military began to break out. At the critical moment of life and death, the US soldiers also showed that they did not care about death, and rushed over regardless of casualties. "Da
Da——, pah, pah——”
The Ninth Company was on the offensive and had not yet established a defensive position. They thought that the U.S. Army was attacked on several sides and the defense line would soon collapse. Unexpectedly, the U.S. Army fought back desperately. Soon, the Ninth Company was compressed back to the east city gate and occupied a row of red brick buildings.
Quickly cut off the main force of the company.
One platoon was isolated in a red brick building. The walls of the red brick building had collapsed, making it difficult to defend. They were faced with a choice, whether to break out and join the main force of the Ninth Company, or to persist in the red brick building. Lu Chen followed the platoon.
Entered the red brick building.
Lu Chen suggested, "Platoon leader, if we break out now, the casualties will be huge. Why don't we continue to attack the copper grass, come to a center, attack the US troops from the side and rear, and support the company commander and instructors to enter the city."
Lu Chen's suggestion coincided with Chen Jiushan's idea. Chen Jiushan immediately issued an order, "Everyone, go out through the north window, go through the woods on the north side, and make a circuitous route to the west. The target is the US artillery position."
Since the attack on the U.S. artillery position in Songheli was a great success, Chen Jiushan's confidence has greatly increased. He feels that attacking the artillery position and paralyzing the U.S. fire network is a priority.
