Chapter 86 Supporting Qiu Mingliang’s Seventh Company 2
Chen Ninghu sniped at the US heavy machine gunner and exposed his position. A US military grenadier threw a shell at Chen Ninghu. Fortunately, Lu Chen reacted in time, hugged Chen Ninghu and rolled away from a distance of more than ten meters.
"Boom, boom--" Two artillery shells were thrown in succession. The US military counterattacked very quickly. Liu Santang shouted, "Change positions, quickly."
Liu Santang, Chen Ninghu, and Lu Chen rolled more than 20 meters to the southeast. "Pa--" Lu Chen stood up suddenly and quickly pulled the trigger. A bullet flew out of the gun barrel and hit an American soldier 150 meters away.
On the grenadier's right shoulder, the American grenadier fell to the ground.
The person responsible for attacking the No. 5 area of the Chongchuan River was the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 13th U.S. Division. Dennis, the U.S. Captain Dennis who was originally stationed at the No. 5 area of the Chongchuan River, was defeated and fled to the defense zone of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 13th U.S. Division. He was very upset.
, has always wanted to retake the Cheongcheon River No. 5 area.
Thompson, the major battalion commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 13th U.S. Division, was ordered to command three companies to recapture the No. 5 area of the Chongchuan River to prevent the Chongchuan River defense line from being broken through by the Chinese army. Dennis and his assistant Lieutenant Hannis volunteered to serve as the forward attack force.
, the defense area of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 13th U.S. Division is only five or six kilometers away from the No. 5 area of the Qingchuan River, and Thompson led the team to arrive quickly.
The U.S. military attacked in three ways: aircraft bombing, artillery bombardment, and infantry attack. The No. 5 area of the Chongcheon River was mountainous and the tanks and armored vehicles could not deploy. The U.S. tanks and armored vehicles did not participate in the attack.
The No. 5 area of Qingchuan River was guarded by the 7th Company and the 5th Company. Under the bombardment of US aircraft, the position was basically blown to pieces, and more than one-fifth of the personnel were lost. Then they had to withstand the bombardment of US artillery fire. After several rounds of artillery bombardment,
, the US military began an infantry attack.
The US infantry company is equipped with two Browning M2 heavy machine guns, several Browning light machine guns, and each infantry squad is also equipped with grenade launchers. Some soldiers are equipped with A3 submachine guns, and others are equipped with M1 Garand assault rifles. Dennis is determined to win, and he commands
One company's troops launched an attack on the left flank of the seventh and fifth companies' positions.
"Da da, da da, boom -" Two M2 heavy machine guns, Browning light machine guns, and grenade launchers opened fire at the same time. Dennis commanded his American troops, who were about to attack the seventh and fifth company positions when they were suddenly attacked.
When it comes to the attack from the left wing, although the attack from the left wing is not too violent, the target of the attack is very critical, which is the sniper of the Chinese Army.
A U.S. soldier who rushed to the front was shot in the back. The Browning M2 heavy machine gunner, the bomb carrier, and the bomb carrier were shot. The U.S. attack was frustrated. Dennis quickly judged the position of the sniper on the left wing.
One hundred and fifty sixty meters ahead, the grenadiers were immediately ordered to fight back.
Generally, the hit rate of grenade cans is 50% or 60%. The US military grenadier is well-trained, and the shooting accuracy of American grenade cans is high. The hit rate of thrown artillery shells can reach 80%. The shooting rate of American grenade cans is
The range is between 100 meters and 400 meters, and the distance of 150 to 60 meters is within the attack range.
A U.S. grenadier threw three artillery shells in succession. The Chinese army counterattacked quickly. The U.S. grenadier was shot in the shoulder. The U.S. attack was disrupted. Dennis ordered Lieutenant Hannis to lead an attack on the left wing to clear the left wing of the Chinese army.
Interference, Dennis judged that the Chinese army on the left had only two or three men and was weak.
Liu Santang and Lu Chen were on the top of the mountain. Hannis commanded more than 20 US soldiers to attack the left wing. The US troops were located on the hillside and in a low position. They were attacking from the top. "Da da, da da——, boom——" Two
With a Browning light machine gun clearing the way and a grenadier throwing artillery shells, Hannis commanded his American troops to attack the left wing. After advancing more than a hundred meters, they were soon violently blocked.
Erzhuzi, Li Zhuo, Jin Wang, and Han Lin were lying in ambush on the hillside. On the hillside more than ten meters away from the top of the mountain, there were two Browning light machine guns, a Bobosha submachine gun, and an M1 assault rifle, with powerful firepower.
Seeing the American troops rushing over, Erzhu placed the Browning light machine gun on a lying tree trunk and gave the order, "Everyone, listen to my command, I will fire, everyone is firing."
Several U.S. soldiers climbed up from the hillside, and the distance got closer and closer, sixty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters, "Thirty meters up, fire!" Erzhu shouted, "Da da——"
When the trigger of the Browning light machine gun was pulled, more than a dozen bullets were sprayed out. Two US soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
"Ta-ta--" Li Zhuo leaned on the trunk of a camphor pine tree and knelt on one knee. After receiving the order to fire from the second pillar, he quickly pulled the trigger, and several Browning light machine gun rounds hit the helmet of an American soldier.
, several bullets penetrated the helmet of the American soldier at the same time. After shooting, Li Zhuo quickly lay on the ground and rolled to the right. There was no fortification defense, so he had to constantly change his shooting position to avoid the enemy's attack.
Han Lin, a soldier of the third squad, was only seventeen years old. He joined the army in Anton this summer. However, his marksmanship was also good. Han Lin leaned against the trunk of an elm tree and fired decisively with a "pop--" and the bullet hit one person.
The US machine gunner, the US machine gunner threw himself to the ground and rolled down the hillside.
Jin Wang fought the same way as before, crawling on the ground, crawling forward a few meters, and throwing a grenade more than 20 meters away from the US military. "Boom -" the pineapple grenade exploded, and an American soldier was blown away.
Da——" Using the cover of smoke caused by the grenade explosion, Jin Wang quickly stood up, knelt on one knee, and fired violently with the Bobosha submachine gun.
The Chinese army on the top of the mountain on the left wing resisted tenaciously and their firepower was fierce. In one round of fighting, more than a dozen American soldiers were killed or injured.
The U.S. military mainly relied on artillery fire and steel to fight the war. Seeing the heavy casualties, U.S. Captain Dennis hurriedly ordered a retreat. He ordered, "Lieutenant Hannis, stop the attack temporarily and let our artillery deal with this group of Chinese troops."
Seeing the U.S. troops retreating, Liu Santang breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to move a few people to the main position in the northwest, Erzhu suddenly shouted, "Liu Lieutenant pointed out, the enemy is coming up from behind."
Liu Santang hurriedly turned around and saw a dozen American troops climbing up from the hillside on the side of the road. They were at his right rear. The distance between the two sides was more than 20 meters. Liu Santang hurriedly turned the muzzle of his gun and lay down on the ground. "Pa--" quickly
Open fire occurred, and an American soldier was shot and fell to the ground.
"Tap-ta-ta-ta-ta-pa--" More than a dozen U.S. troops were blocked just as they climbed up the southern hillside. The U.S. soldiers quickly fell to the ground and fired back.
U.S. Army Major Battalion Commander Thompson became wiser after several battles with the Chinese Army. Seeing that the Chinese Army on the opposite side was too tenacious, he sent Second Lieutenant Greenson to lead two squads of U.S. soldiers across Route 9.
The intention was to sneak attack the Chinese army's position from the south, but just in time, they met Liu Santang and several others, and they fought hand to hand.
