Chapter Fifty-ninth Heshui County Blocking Battle 8
Behind the US military, Ha Dajiang shouted to Liang Jianghe, "Daliang, move quickly, the Americans are about to fire!"
The road has been cut off by the US military. Ha Dajiang and Liang Jianghe have lost contact with Chen Jiushan and Liu Santang. Ha Dajiang has more combat experience and naturally still assumes the responsibility of command.
There are densely packed houses in the archway area. The roof of a house on the north side of the archway is close to the archway. The height of the roof is slightly lower. The height difference between the two is only about one meter. If the US military fires, the target on the roof of the archway is obvious and is the most dangerous.
Liang Jianghe hurriedly led the second team to move north and quickly jumped to the roof of another house.
"Boom, boom -" the US military fired, and several 10 howitzer shells landed on the roof of the archway. Several big holes were immediately blown out of the roof of the archway, and broken cement bricks fell from the roof. Fortunately,
The soldiers of Hada Jianghe's squad were all close to the wall, and the falling cement bricks did not harm them.
"Ta-ta--" After the bombardment, the US military began to charge again. Several Browning light machine guns formed a fire net and rushed towards the archway. The tenacity of the Chinese army also aroused Weaver's desire to win.
Holding an American A3 submachine gun, Foer took the lead in charging.
Ha Dajiang told the soldiers in the squad, "Brothers, pay attention, the enemy is approaching and is shooting."
The U.S. military slowly approached the archway. At twenty meters, then eighteen meters, then fifteen meters, Hada Jiang suddenly jumped up, "Pah, pah—" and picked up his M1 assault rifle and opened fire quickly. One American soldier was killed.
"Ta-ta--" Mu Guilin and Liu Guanshan, holding Bobosha submachine guns, fired at the U.S. soldiers at the same time. Two U.S. soldiers were killed.
Weaver ordered the American soldiers to retreat. "Whoosh!" Weaver threw a pineapple grenade. The grenade accurately flew in from the window of the archway. "Boom—" the pineapple grenade exploded and smoke filled the archway.
Not only is his marksmanship good, he is also very accurate in throwing grenades.
Ha Dajiang and a group of soldiers were buried in the rubble and stunned by the explosion of grenades, and had no time to fight back.
Seizing this opportunity, Weaver immediately waved his hand and commanded the American soldiers to charge. In a few steps, he rushed to a place ten meters in front of the archway. The first class in the archway was in danger. "Boom, boom--" Suddenly, ten people fell from the top of the archway.
Several grenades and hand grenades exploded in the charging US troops, and a dozen US soldiers were blown up.
The archway is the most important building in Heshui County. It has double-layered blue brick walls and a roof made of pine logs. It is strong and durable. Although the US 105 shells blasted several holes on the roof of the archway, there are no holes in the roof.
After the collapse, Liang Jianghe led the second squad back to the roof of the archway. Seeing the crisis, Liang Jianghe immediately ordered the grenades to be thrown out, and quickly repelled the US attack.
The archway building is very strong, and the Chinese troops guarding it are also very tenacious. It is difficult to capture it for a while. Second Lieutenant Hank suggested to Major Kennison that they temporarily stop attacking the archway and instead attack the Midian on the west side of the road. There are several rice shops around the archway.
It looked like the building was not that strong, and then detoured to the north side of the archway and captured the archway in one fell swoop.
Kennison immediately adjusted his deployment. Weaver was responsible for besieging the archway, controlling the road, and cutting off the communication between the Chinese troops on both sides of the road. Second Lieutenant Hank led his men to attack Midian.
Chen Jiushan, Liu Santang, Lu Chen and the third squad of Erzhuxi entered Midian and took immediate action to build simple defenses using wooden tables, window panels and door panels. When they saw the first and second squads being violently attacked by the US military, they wanted to go there.
Support, but unfortunately the road in the middle has been blocked by the firepower of the US military. In fact, the connection with the first and second squads has been lost.
The second pillar carried a Browning light machine gun and asked Chen Jiushan for instructions, "Platoon leader, Li Zhuo and I rushed out of the window and took a roundabout way to support the first and second squad leaders."
But Chen Jiushan was very clear-headed and scolded Erzhu, "Nonsense, there are Americans outside, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, didn't you hear it? If you go out, you will die. You can't be reckless and obey orders."
The roof of Midian is very flat, with no low walls around it to divert water, and there is basically no place for defense. There are only some wooden boards of different thicknesses stacked on the roof. Liu Santang, Lu Chen, and Jin Wang dropped the wooden boards together to make
Several simple fortifications.
Lu Chen, who was guarding the roof, watched the U.S. troops madly attacking the archway. They were very close, but there was no way to rescue them. He worriedly said to Liu Santang, "Deputy Liu pointed out that the U.S. troops were frantically attacking the archway. The first and second squads in the archway were not unified."
Commander, what should I do if my command is chaotic?"
Liu Santang answered confidently, "Lu Chen, you don't understand the D Field Army yet. As long as one of us exists, we will continue to fight. Ha Dajiang and Liang Jianghe will adjust their command. Although Ha Dajiang is a little more arrogant, he is still very commanding."
Yes, they will cooperate very well."
Ha Dajiang's impression on Lu Chen was that he was brave and experienced in combat, but he had a strong sense of personal heroism and often liked to show off his courage.
"Da da, da da -" The US military suddenly gave up the attack on the archway and rushed towards the rice store. The rice store had four or five windows. Chen Jiushan was guarding the easternmost window, close to the road.
A US soldier rushed along the road to a place more than 20 meters away from Chen Jiushan. "Boom--" Chen Jiushan threw a pineapple grenade. The grenade accurately fell into the US military team, and two US soldiers were blown away.
"Crack--" Chen Jiushan fired, hitting an American soldier who was rushing in front. The street fighting was cruel, almost equal to a face-to-face fight. "Click, click--" Two pillars, Li Zhuo guarded the other two windows,
The two men fired fiercely with Browning light machine guns, and several American soldiers were shot and fell.
Second Lieutenant Hank saw that the windows of Midian were high and wide, which was not conducive to defense. He immediately ordered his familiar soldiers to throw grenades at the windows. The soldiers received Hank's order and threw the grenades one after another, "Whoosh, whoosh -"
More than a dozen grenades flew toward the window of the rice store. Two grenades passed through the window and flew into the rice store. "Boom, boom—" the grenades exploded, and the rice store burst into flames and filled with smoke.
The life and death of Chen Jiushan and the soldiers of the third squad are unknown, and thick smoke pours out of the windows of Midian.
Hank jumped up, holding an A3 submachine gun, and rushed towards the rice store. "Ta-ta--" Hank shot while rushing, "pop--" a gunshot sounded from the roof of the rice shop, and the bullet hit the rice store.
Hitting Hank's left shoulder, Hank fell to the ground.
It was Lu Chen who shot Hank. Seeing the crazy U.S. military and the fierce firepower, Lu Chen felt that the situation was critical. He fired at a U.S. soldier who was rushing in front. "Whoosh, boom--" Lu Chen threw a bullet
grenade.
The grenade was produced in Fengtian, Northeast China. It had a cast iron shell and limited explosive power. Lu Chen didn't like it. However, in critical moments, it was still much better than nothing. The grenade exploded and an American soldier was blown away.
