Chen Jiushan led a platoon of soldiers and Lu Chen to evacuate the red brick building. Erzhu and Li Zhuo walked at the end. They saw several American soldiers carrying M1 Garand rifles walking towards the red brick building.
An American soldier thought that the Chinese troops in the red brick building had evacuated, so he walked over in a swaggering manner.
Erzhuzi and Li Zhuo hid behind the collapsed wall. When they saw several American soldiers approaching, they exchanged glances, picked up their Browning machine guns, and fired violently, "ta da, da da -"
Several American soldiers were unprepared and their bodies were beaten into pieces. Before any other reaction from the American soldiers, Erzhuzi and Li Zhuo jumped out from the north window and chased Chen Jiushan.
To the north of the red brick building is a birch forest. The birch trees are more than 20 meters high and the leaves have turned yellow, indicating the coming of winter. Through the birch forest, there is a street with traditional Korean houses on both sides of the street.
Traditional Korean houses are very distinctive. The houses are usually built on the plains at the foot of mountains. The appearance of Korean houses is very beautiful, with gentle roof slopes, two ends standing like birds, and the middle is parallel like a boat. There are several stone steps in front of the door.
All the lines and surfaces that make up the roof are gentle curves and curved surfaces. The roof is low and does not feel convex and steep. The whole house sits firmly on a low and flat stone platform. Unfortunately, due to the war, the house has become
No one lives there anymore, the windows are open, allowing fallen leaves to fly into the house.
There were rumbling cannons and dense gunfire all around, but it was very quiet here. Lu Chen and Ha Dajiang led the way, followed by Chen Jiushan, Erzhu, Li Zhuo, Jin Wang and others, following the winding streets to the west.
After walking a few hundred meters forward, turning a few turns, and arriving at an intersection, Lu Chen waved his hand for everyone to take cover.
There is a crossroads ahead. The U.S. military uses the crossroads as an artillery position. Four American 81mm mortars and more than a dozen U.S. soldiers are busy. The four U.S. soldiers in charge keep waving the command flag in their hands, "
Concrete, concrete—" American 81mm mortar shells flew eastward, targeting the direction of the Ninth Company's defense.
A dozen U.S. soldiers were focused on the four American 81mm mortars and kept shouting, "bullet, fire." They did not notice the approaching danger at all.
Opportunity favors the prepared mind. The distance was only about fifty meters. Chen Jiushan shook his fist at Lu Chen and immediately ordered, "Brothers, go ahead, kill the US artillery and seize the mortars."
"Pa—" After receiving Chen Jiushan's order, Lu Chen fired first. A US gunner was preparing to throw a mortar shell into the barrel. Lu Chen shot the US gunner in the chest and the US gunner fell.
On the ground, the mortar shell in his hand was thrown far away.
"Whoosh -, boom -" Ha Dajiang threw a grenade, and the grenade landed on the right side of the mortar. A US gunner was blown away, and an American 81mm mortar fell to the ground, with the gun body divided into several sections.
.
"Ta da -" Jin Wang also took action very quickly, holding a Bobosha submachine gun in his hand and firing violently. A US artillery commander fell down with a bullet in his hand, and the second pillar rushed to the front with a Browning light machine gun, "ta da
Da, da da—" The bodies of two American soldiers who were carrying artillery shells were beaten into sieves.
Li Zhuo followed closely behind the second pillar. "Click!" the Browning light machine gun in his hand screamed. Two US gunners were shot. Since Li Zhuo captured a Browning light machine gun, he felt invincible.
I feel very comfortable.
Before Chen Jiushan could take action, the battle ended. More than a dozen American soldiers were killed. Three American 81mm mortars were intact. Chen Jiushan ordered, "Jin Wang and Li Zhuo cooperated with Lu Chen to fire artillery shells at the American soldiers. Others were on alert."
, to prevent the U.S. military from counterattacking, quickly!”
The soldiers quickly dispersed under the command of Chen Jiushan. The intersection was located behind the US attack team, about 500 meters away from the ninth company's defensive position. Lu Chen adjusted the parameters of the American 81mm mortar, lowered the muzzle, and quickly
Throw a mortar shell into the barrel of the gun, and "concrete--" the mortar shell flies out of the barrel.
"Boom -" the mortar bomb landed and exploded, and two American soldiers who were attacking forward were blown away. The shelling distance was 450 meters away, which was the forward position of the Ninth Company's position. "Okay! Lu Chen, you lost the bet.
I don't want the cigarettes you owe me, just buy and sell them." Ha Dajiang shouted.
"Boom, boom -" Lu Chen fired mortars, which exploded one after another in the US attack team. The US attack team was in chaos. Major Lane, who directed the US attack, was also unexpected. Major Lane commanded the breakout, which went smoothly.
With the support of fierce artillery fire, they quickly took the initiative on the battlefield, and the Chinese army was suppressed at the east gate of Tongcaoli.
Major Lane did not expect that the Chinese were so clever in tactics that they actually moved around their flanks and rear. Without the support of artillery and relying solely on infantry, the quality of individual American soldiers was far lower than that of Chinese soldiers. They would not be able to break through today anyway. Major Lane immediately
Lieutenant Morey was ordered to lead a platoon back to the defense and seize several American 81mm mortars.
Although the US military still has American 105 howitzers, the distance between the two sides is only a few dozen meters and the American 105 howitzers are ineffective in a melee. In such close combat, the American 81mm mortar is the best weapon.
At the critical moment of life and death, Lieutenant Morey, a Pennsylvanian and a veteran who had participated in the European war, immediately came back with a platoon of troops. His main weapons were grenades and Browning light machine guns. "Click, click, boom"
——" Suddenly the intersection was filled with flames and smoke rising into the sky.
Faced with the crazy counterattack of the US military, Jin Wang and Li Zhuo cooperated with Lu Chen to carry an American 81mm mortar and hide in the woods on the left, and continued to fire, "Boom--" The distance of this shelling was only more than fifty meters.
, almost fighting with bayonets, Lieutenant Morey, knowing that his life and death depended on this move, took the lead in the charge, intending to recapture the American 81mm mortar.
As soon as he occupied the artillery position, Chen Jiushan expected the US military to counterattack and ordered the troops to disperse. When he saw the US military counterattack, he immediately ordered everyone to open fire to protect Lu Chen and the American 81mm mortar.
Seeing a U.S. soldier holding a Browning light machine gun, kneeling on one knee, firing violently, "click-click--" to cover the charge of other U.S. soldiers. Chen Jiushan used his strengths and dropped bombs with 100% accuracy, lying down on the ground.
He threw a grenade from the ground, more than thirty meters away, and the grenade accurately landed on the right side of the American machine gunner who was shooting. "Boom!" The American machine gunner flew up with the sound of the explosion.
Lieutenant Morey was a machine gunner. He fought bravely and personally led the charge. However, he had no choice but to fight alone. The Chinese soldiers were more flexible and better at seizing opportunities. With a grenade from Chen Jiushan, Lieutenant Morey could never return to America.
