The American-made GMC truck was very fast. At nearly eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Chen drove the American-made GMC truck near the No. 5 area of the Qingchuan River. He was still more than a thousand meters away from the river bank. "Da da, da da——, boom——"
From the top of the mountain on the right side of the highway, there was intensive gunfire and rumbling artillery fire. Chen Jiushan asked Lu Chen to stop the truck and waved everyone to get out of the truck.
Chen Jiushan discussed with Liu Santong, "Liu Lieutenant pointed out, the sound of gunfire means that the US military is attacking. The firepower is fierce. We must rush over immediately to provide support."
Liu Santang agreed with Chen Jiushan's suggestion and ordered, "Second Pillar, your squad is responsible for protecting Chen Ninghu. Keep moving forward to protect Chen Ninghu from crossing the river smoothly to meet Chief of Staff Han."
Chen Ninghu's face turned red and he said urgently, "Liu Deputy Zhi, I protest. I don't need protection. You can't deprive me of my right to participate in the battle. I am the first-class shooter of our regiment. I request to participate in the battle. Please ask Comrade Deputy Instructor for approval."
.”
Er Zhuzi also felt that Liu Santang's words were a bit excessive and hurt people's self-esteem. Chen Ninghu was a heroic figure in Er Zhuzi's heart. Er Zhuzi hurriedly spoke for Chen Ninghu, "Liu Fu pointed out, Brother Er Hu is very clever in fighting. He can help us.
Let Brother Erhu join us in the battle."
"This -" Liu Santang saw Chen Ninghu's resolute attitude and could only agree, "Okay, Comrade Chen Ninghu, you can participate in the battle, but you must obey the command. You follow Lu Chen to act together. You are all sharpshooters, responsible for sniping important enemy targets.
.”
Liu Santang issued the order, "Platoon leader, everyone climb to the top of the mountain and you will direct the battle."
More than a dozen people spread out in a fighting formation and climbed out to the top of the mountain. Lu Chen followed closely beside Chen Ninghu. Chen Ninghu heard that Lu Chen was also a sharpshooter. When he saw that Lu Chen was a few years younger than him, he asked curiously, "
Brother, I heard that you have good marksmanship and have been in the army for a few years."
Chen Ninghu's words made it difficult for Lu Chen to answer. Although Lu Chen joined the army as a young man, he joined the Kuomintang Army. He joined the D Field Army for less than half a year. Lu Chen had to tell the truth, "I used to be a member of the New First Army. I fought in the Zhennanguan Battle this summer.
At that time, he joined the D Field Army, and his actual military service was less than half a year."
As a liberation fighter, Chen Ninghu did not discriminate against Lu Chen and said with confidence, "Our team is attractive, like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. When I joined the army, the D Field Army only had a few hundred thousand people. A few years later, after leaving Shanhaiguan,
, already a million-strong army, invincible, our D field army comes to North Korea, and we will drive the Americans into the sea."
After Chen Ninghu finished speaking, he quickly climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking at the agile Chen Ninghu, Lu Chen was filled with doubts and admiration. Chen Ninghu looked like another Chen Jiushan, with crude weapons, lack of ammunition, and insufficient food, but he never complained and fought.
Enthusiasm is high and full of confidence to win.
Everyone climbed to the top of the mountain. The height of the mountain was about two hundred meters. The terrain on the top of the mountain was flat and open, with sparse trees and mostly bushes. On the hillside in front of the left, densely packed U.S. soldiers were attacking the top of the mountain in the northwest direction. "Da da,
Lu Chen raised the telescope and looked at it for a while, then reported to Liu Santang and Chen Jiushan, "Liu Deputy pointed out, a platoon long, our people are on the top of the mountain to the northwest, about 300 meters away from us. The US military is attacking fiercely and will soon break through the top of the mountain."
Positional."
There were only a dozen people on his side, so the strength was still weak. Chen Jiushan decided, "Liu Lieutenant Commander, Lu Chen, the pilot, the second squad and the third squad will stay at the top of the mountain to snipe important targets of the US military. I will take the first squad and the second squad."
Make a detour to the northeast, look for US artillery positions, and try to destroy their artillery positions."
The U.S. military launched a fierce offensive, relying on fierce artillery fire. "Boom, boom—" two more artillery shells landed on the top of the mountain in the northwest, raising thick smoke. Chen Jiushan led Ha Dajiang's first squad and Liang Jianghe's second squad.
The squad headed northeast and north, with the U.S. troops passing through the flanks and rear, looking for U.S. artillery positions.
"Ah -" the US military began to attack again, shouting loudly. As the Americans charged, they shouted loudly to strengthen their own side.
Liu Santang shouted, "Second Pillar, let's go northwest first, try to get a position more than a hundred meters closer to our position, and snipe the enemy, quickly!"
There were four other soldiers in the third squad of Second Pillar, Erzhuhu, Li Zhuo, Jin Wang, Han Lin, plus Liu Santang, Lu Chen, and Chen Ninghu. The seven of them quickly ran to the northwest.
There is an elm forest 1,780 meters away from our position, on the left wing of the attacking US military team. The trunks of the elm trees are not high, only seven or eight meters, but the trunks are thick and the branches are dense, making them very suitable for concealed fortifications.
Liu Santang ordered, "Er Zhuzi, a few people from your squad, ambush 20 meters forward. No shots are allowed to be fired at the enemy within 50 meters. Lu Chen, Chen Ninghu, I, and I are responsible for sniping the enemy."
Chen Ninghu leaned on the trunk of an elm tree and asked Lu Chen doubtfully, "Brother, your Deputy Liu's marksmanship is also good, but you can't tell that you are a lesbian." Lu Chen replied, "Comrade pilots, you can't look down on people, Deputy Liu
He said he joined the army when he was a teenager and has been in the army for ten years. He followed Mr. He to fight the Japanese and guerrillas in North China, and he is also a sharpshooter."
The person responsible for the defensive position on the south side was Qiu Mingliang's 7th Company. A US machine gunner, with a concealed figure, gradually approached the 7th Company's position. There were still more than ten meters away. The US machine gunner jumped up, preparing for a charge, and rushed into the 7th Company's position.
, "Pa—" Liu Santang quickly pulled the trigger, and a Mosin-Nagant rifle bullet flew out of the barrel and hit the US machine gunner in the back. The US machine gunner threw himself on the hillside from a distance of 190 meters.
On the left wing of the U.S. attack team, there was a heavy machine gun. It fired continuously, suppressing the firepower of the Seventh Company. At a distance of 150 meters, Chen Ninghu knelt down on one knee and leaned against the trunk of an elm tree.
I picked up the M1 Garand rifle, closed my eyes slightly, and calmed down my mood for a while. After all, it had been two years since I had the chance to shoot.
"Pah, pah, pah -" The M1 Garand rifle was the most excellent rifle in the Korean War. It could fire continuously. Chen Ninghu fired three shots in a row. Three US heavy machine gunners, bomb carriers and bomb carriers were shot.
The US heavy machine gun jammed immediately.
Chen Ninghu is still as heroic as before. Liu Santang shouted, "Good marksmanship, Comrade Chen Ninghu is amazing."
Chen Ninghu was so excited that he seemed to have returned to the Jinzhou battlefield. He killed the defenders on the city wall and was praised by the platoon leader. He wanted to say something else. Suddenly, his body was violently hit and he fell to the ground and rolled to the east.
Lu Chen rushed over from the flank, hugged Chen Ninghu and rolled to the east, rolling out more than ten meters, "Boom -" a shell landed on the right side of Chen Ninghu's shooting position, the shell exploded, and the trunk of an elm tree was blown off
