Chapter 71: Attacking the Qingchuan River Bridge 7
Chen Jiushan's platoon successfully captured the bridgehead on the east side of the Chongchuan River Bridge. The Ninth Company controlled the bridgeheads on both sides of the Chongchuan River Bridge. To the surprise of Feng Ren, the commander of the Ninth Company, the superior gave the Ninth Company the task of controlling the Chongchuan River Bridge.
The bridgehead on the west side is waiting for the arrival of the main force.
Feng Ren and Cheng Min crossed the bridge to take a look. The battle scene was fierce. The US troops left in a hurry without any plan for their evacuation. The maps, walkie-talkies, bullet boxes, and binoculars in the tent were still there, and they all became the trophies of the Ninth Company.
Finally, Feng Ren and his instructor Cheng Min discussed that Chen Jiushan's platoon should stay at the bridgehead position on the east side of the Qingchuan River Bridge. Feng Ren told him, "Jiushan, your mission alert should be withdrawn to the west bank immediately if it encounters a US military attack. There are less than 20 people in this platoon."
People, you can't fight head-on with the enemy, Deputy Commander Liu will act with you."
Chen Jiushan's platoon stayed at the bridgehead position on the east side of the Qingchuan River Bridge, which was more than 400 meters away from the main position of the Ninth Company. They could support each other when attacked by the US military. The US military left several tents, and the station was very spacious, and there was also a lot of food and beef.
Canned goods, bread sausages, and even Camel brand cigarettes made Ha Dajiang, Chen Jiushan, Lu Chen and other smokers very excited.
A row of soldiers had a hearty meal, smoked Camel cigarettes, and then lay down in the tent to rest. After days of fierce fighting, the soldiers quickly fell asleep.
"Cluck, cluck -" At around four o'clock in the morning, there was the sound of steel tracks pressing down on the road. It was very harsh. Lu Chen was sleeping very lightly, and was immediately awakened by the harsh sound. Lu Chen turned over and started to move, dazed.
After sitting for a minute, I immediately realized that it was the sound of tanks and armor. Because it was wartime, the soldiers were lying on the ground, and the ground was covered with captured military blankets, making it easier to move.
No, the US military is coming. Lu Chen's first reaction was to shout, "The US military is coming, the US military is coming -" Lu Chen grabbed the Mosin Nagant rifle and quickly rushed out of the tent, two in a row.
The tents were close together, more than a hundred meters away from the bridge. The tent where Lu Chen lived was on the east side.
Lu Chen rushed out of the tent and was stunned by the sight before him. Two U.S. armored vehicles were traveling quickly along the road towards the bridge. "Click!" The machine guns of the U.S. armored vehicles fired fiercely.
Bounced to the ground.
The sound of the U.S. armored vehicle's machine gun was short and crisp, shaking the dawn sky. "Pop!" More than a dozen U.S. soldiers following the U.S. armored vehicle rushed towards a row of tents. Between the tents and the road was a piece of flat land.
Unobstructed, Lu Chen lay on the ground and quickly opened fire, hitting an American soldier.
A row of soldiers, who have been in a state of war for a long time, have extremely sensitive nerves. When they heard the gun, their first reaction was to pick up their weapons and rush out of the tent quickly. Ha Dajiang was the first to rush out of the tent and saw that the US military had already rushed over, "
Pah, pah—" fired, shouting, "Lie down, lie down—"
"Ta-ta--" Erzhu climbed out of the tent and quickly set up a Browning light machine gun to fire violently, quickly suppressing the US attack. Chen Jiushan quickly judged the situation and realized that the US military was attacking suddenly, and immediately ordered, "Brothers,
Follow me to the west and retake the bridgehead."
What Chen Jiushan meant was to retake the bridgehead position and withdraw to the other side of the river through the Qingchuan River Bridge. He met with fierce opposition from Lu Chen, "One platoon leader, two US armored vehicles control the bridgehead. Brothers, how many lives do they have? Hurry up and take the brothers with you."
Evacuate to the north. There is a forest behind you. Once you enter the forest, you will have a way to deal with the US military. I will cover it."
"This -" Chen Jiushan hesitated for a moment, unwilling to give up the purpose of joining the company. Liu Santang shouted, "First platoon leader, there is no time, Ha Dajiang, Second Pillar, Lu Chen stay to stop the enemy, the others will immediately
Evacuate, retreat to the woods behind you, move faster, faster!"
Ha Dajiang, Erzhu, and Lu Chen stayed behind to stop the enemy. Others followed Liu Santang and Chen Jiushan to evacuate quickly. It turned out that the British tent was close to the road. Chen Jiushan felt that if it was close to the road, once it was attacked, the time would be too short to fight back.
opportunity, so he decided to camp in a tent and move near the woods. Unexpectedly, this decision saved the whole platoon of soldiers, and everyone quickly retreated into the woods.
"Ta-ta-" The American soldiers fired wildly, and instantly the tent behind Lu Chen was riddled with holes. Several US soldiers came down from the road carrying a heavy machine gun, preparing to set up a heavy machine gun position, "Pa--
"Lu Chen fired a shot, hitting an American soldier in the middle. The American soldier was shot and fell to the ground, and the heavy machine gun fell to the ground.
"Tap da-" Erzhu fired a bunch of bullets violently, temporarily suppressing the firepower of the US military. Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Chen shouted, "Dajiang, Erzhu, retreat quickly." The three people quickly stood up and got in quickly.
In the woods behind.
The sudden attack of the US military alarmed Feng Ren, who was stationed at the bridgehead on the west side of the Qingchuan River Bridge. Feng Ren raised his telescope to watch, and his heart sank. A platoon was attacked by the US military. There were many US troops, and the platoon was in danger. The US military had taken control.
Arriving at the bridge on the east side, Feng Ren hurriedly ordered, "Second Platoon, rush over with me to support the First Platoon."
Feng Ren carried the shell gun and personally led the second platoon onto the Qingchuan River Bridge. He tried to rush across the Qingchuan River Bridge and meet the first platoon. "Click--" Feng Ren just stepped onto the bridge and was violently attacked.
During the shooting, Feng Ren and the second platoon were suppressed on the bridge deck, not daring to raise their heads. US armored vehicles fired wildly, completely blocking the Qingchuan River Bridge deck.
The U.S. military who attacked the bridgehead on the east side of the Chongchuan River Bridge was Major Hall, an old rival of the Ninth Company, affiliated with the 1st Cavalry Division. Hall was ordered to lead two companies to recapture the bridgehead on the east side of the Chongchuan River Bridge. Hall decided at dawn
Action, surprise attack, first control the bridgehead and cut off the connection between the Chinese troops on both sides of the Qingchuan River Bridge.
Under the command of Hall, the U.S. military set out at three o'clock in the morning and arrived at the east side of the Qingchuan River Bridge at four o'clock. They immediately launched an attack. Two T18 armored vehicles quickly took control of the bridge head. Lieutenant Harrison led the U.S. troops dozens of meters high to attack a row of stations.
Came over.
British Major Ackerman fled in embarrassment and saw Hall. Ackerman described a terrifying scene to Hall. The Chinese army had sophisticated weapons, a fast attack speed, and a large number of people. There were at least two companies of troops.
After hearing Ackerman's description, Hall ordered Lieutenant Harrison to proceed with caution. American lives were precious and there should be no heavy casualties.
The strength of the two companies was more than 200 men, so Harrison acted cautiously. As soon as he encountered resistance, he immediately launched an attack on the spot, covering it with firepower, and then advanced in an orderly manner, giving the platoon time to evacuate.
If Harrison knew that there were less than 20 Chinese troops on the opposite side, he would immediately charge and the platoon would have no chance to evacuate. The British Major Ackerman looked for reasons for his defeat, deliberately exaggerated and exaggerated the strength of the Chinese troops, and provided
He got false information and inadvertently saved a platoon.
