Chapter 87 Supporting Qiu Mingliang’s Seventh Company 3
Twenty-odd American troops suddenly climbed up from the southern hillside and suddenly met Liu Santang and Lu Chen. The two sides lay on the ground and immediately started shooting at each other. "Click, click, click—" The distance between the two sides was more than 20 meters.
Although Liu Santang, Lu Chen, and Chen Ninghu were snipers, they were of no use at this time.
Erzhu set up a Browning light machine gun in the bushes and fired fiercely, temporarily suppressing the firepower of the US military. He shouted to Liu Santang, "Deputy Commander Liu, you evacuate eastward, I will cover you."
Liu Santang had rich fighting experience and was calm and collected. When he was fighting guerrillas with the Japanese in Jizhong, he was often surrounded and attacked by the Japanese. Liu Santang waved his right hand to Lu Chen and shouted, "Lu Chen, you and Chen Ninghu are heading east, we
Several people should go south and disperse to meet the enemy, two pillars, hurry up."
China is a major country in military strategy, and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the most popular military strategy textbook. Liu Santang meant to split up to meet the enemy and form a pincer attack on the US military. Lu Chen dragged Chen Ninghu and rolled more than 20 meters eastward, pulling away from the US military.
After reaching a distance of fifty meters, "Pah——" Lu Chen lay on the ground and opened fire quickly. The bullet almost flew close to the ground. "Pah——" the bullet hit the shoulder of an American soldier who was lying on the ground and was shooting.
He screamed and fell to the ground.
Both sides had no bunkers, so they lay on the ground and shot at each other with small targets. At this time, the level of the sniper was tested. An American soldier squatted behind a camphor pine tree, with only a little bit of his body exposed. "Pa--" Chen Ninghu grabbed it.
Taking the opportunity, he opened fire quickly, and the bullet hit the US soldier's head, and the US soldier's helmet was penetrated.
"Boom -" Chen Ninghu took a grenade from Lu Chen and quickly threw it towards the US military. From a distance of fifty meters, Chen Ninghu had good arm strength and correct bombing posture. The grenade fell to the left of a US soldier's shooting position.
, the US soldier's left arm was injured and his A3 submachine gun was blown away.
An American soldier jumped up suddenly, waved his arm, and was about to throw a grenade. "Pa--" Lu Chen quickly pulled the trigger, and a bullet flew out of the gun chamber. The bullet hit the American soldier's left chest. The American soldier jumped on him.
On the ground, the grenade slipped.
Jin Wang was short in stature, suitable for rolling around in the bushes. Jin Wang followed Liu Santong and rolled south for a distance. He felt that he was a little far away from the American troops. He rolled seven or eight meters to the west and threw a grenade while lying on the ground.
"Boom -" the grenade fell on the U.S. military, and an American soldier lying on the ground was blown away.
Hand-to-hand combat is a test of will. Heavy bullets flew over their heads. They did not dare to raise their heads. The two American soldiers were frightened. They stood up and bent their bodies to escape. "Click--" Li Zhuo seized the opportunity and raised his head.
When the Browning light machine gun opened fire, the distance between the two sides was less than thirty meters, and the bodies of the two American soldiers were instantly beaten into pieces.
U.S. Army Second Lieutenant Greenson was responsible for the command of this battle. He had just graduated from the military academy and did not have much actual combat experience. The order he originally received was to attack the Chinese army from the south. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army had already prepared and ambushed Greenson on the top of the mountain.
Sen was a little at a loss.
The sergeant squad leader Bud was a veteran. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable and he lost seven or eight soldiers in just a few minutes of fighting with the Chinese army, he hurriedly suggested to Greenson, "Second Lieutenant Greenson, our mission is to attack by surprise. Unexpectedly, the Chinese army
The army has been prepared for a long time. If we continue to fight, it will be detrimental to us. We have too few manpower, so we should evacuate quickly."
Greenson had no idea of his own and could only listen to Bud, "Sergeant Bud, order everyone to evacuate and retreat to the south road."
Greenson ordered the two Browning light machine guns to fire at full speed, "ta-ta-ta" and fired violently, but they were all blind fire. Three minutes later, they suddenly stopped shooting and evacuated to the south hillside. The US military attacked slowly and retreated very quickly.
Quickly, more than a dozen American soldiers, led by Second Lieutenant Greenson, rolled and climbed down the southern hillside.
The U.S. military withdrew, and Erzhuzi and Li Zhuo pursued the U.S. forces. Lu Chen hurriedly shouted, "Erzhuzi, Li Zhuo is back, come back. Deputy Chief Liu has not issued a pursuit order, so you cannot act without authorization."
Liu Santang was very angry about Er Zhuzi and Li Zhuo's unauthorized pursuit. Just as he was about to reprimand Er Zhuzi and Li Zhuo, "squeak--" the sound of flying artillery shells came from the air, "Lie down, lie down!" Liu Santang shouted.
, quickly lay down on the ground, "Boom, boom--" Two shells landed on the top of the mountain, more than 20 meters away from Liu Santang, setting off thick smoke.
"Crack, click -" Several camphor pine trees were blown up in the middle, and Chen Ninghu was crushed under the broken trunks. Liu Santang and Lu Chen were frightened. Regardless of the aftermath of the shell explosion, they ran towards Chen Ninghu and moved away.
Lifting Chen Ninghu up from the broken tree trunk, Liu Santang hurriedly asked, "Comrade Chen Ninghu, how are you, how are you?"
Chen Ninghu's body, face, and head were covered with sand and leaves. No injuries were found. Chen Ninghu moved his body and answered with a smile, "Liu Fuzhi, Lu Chen, don't worry, I'm fine. Look at the power of this explosion.
U.S. Army 105 howitzer."
Lu Chen dragged Chen Ninghu and ran eastward, "Comrade pilot, get out of here quickly, it's not safe. The US military shells will come soon." However, something strange happened, the US military stopped the bombardment.
Chen Jiushan led a squadron from Hadajiang and two hundred from Liangjianghe in a circuitous direction to the northeast, looking for the U.S. artillery position. In the mountains and forests, the terrain was undulating, the trees were dense, and walking was difficult. For more than 20 minutes, they walked northeastward.
More than a thousand meters away, a US artillery position was discovered at the foot of the mountain.
The US artillery position is on a hillside, facing the seventh company position on the top of the mountain. The distance is about two thousand meters. There are three American 105 howitzers, arranged front and back in a triangle, 20 meters apart, each American 105 howitzer.
Zero Five Howitzer operated by five artillerymen.
A U.S. artillery commander waved an orange command flag and said, "Concrete——" The 105 howitzer fired a shell, and the U.S. artillery must be eliminated immediately. Chen Jiushan waved his hand and directed everyone to approach the U.S. artillery formation, and ordered, "Concealed approach
If the artillery positions are opened within thirty meters, all US artillery must be annihilated."
The battle was tense, and all American soldiers participated in the attack on the mountaintop position. The artillery position had no guards and only a dozen artillerymen. They were in close combat and had no combat effectiveness. Chen Jiushan got a rare opportunity.
From a distance of thirty meters, "Whoosh -, boom -" Chen Jiushan threw a grenade, and the grenade accurately landed at the firing position of the American 105 howitzer on the far left. The 105 howitzer gunner and bomb carrier were bombed.
fly.
Ha Dajiang also threw a grenade, targeting the 105 howitzer in the middle. Unexpectedly, his hand was a little stronger, and it landed in front of the 105 howitzer on the far right. "Boom--" A US military commander was
Commanded the launch and was blown away by the grenade.
