Chapter nine hundred and seventy first night battle
Apart from the sound of footsteps and the slight sound of chewing, the marching troops could hear nothing else. Every soldier here was clearly aware of what was waiting for them ahead.
What awaited them was not the flowers covering the ground, nor the applause of the crowds on the street, nor the rich fireworks show, but mines, gunpowder smoke, and wind and rain of bullets.
This time, I don’t know how many people shed blood on the battlefield, and I don’t know how many lives were lost. But they knew the mission on their bodies, the burden on their shoulders, and the high hopes of the people of the motherland. Therefore, the soldiers walked with great righteousness and bravery.
He had no hesitation and was proud to kill the Russians.
Suddenly, gunfire rang out in front.
"Stop advancing." Shi Qingyang ordered.
After the entire company's 100 men stopped, they quickly dispersed and hid on both sides of the road.
Shi Qingyang lay on the ground and stood in front of him, waiting for the sharp knife squad to report the situation.
At this time, a panting soldier ran to Shi Qingyang and said, "Company commander, the front of the sharp knife squad is blocked."
"How many Russians?" Shi Qingyang asked anxiously.
"I don't know, but the Russians shoot hard," the soldier replied.
"Correspondent, call the company deputy and the platoon leader to come over." Shi Qingyang said to correspondent Feng Bing.
After a while, deputy company commander Ma Shan and a platoon leader ran over from the rear of the team.
"Company commander, let me go to the front to check on the situation. You and the platoon leader are here to command the troops." Shi Qingyang pointed to the front and said, "There is a problem here, you must be careful."
"I'd better go! Company Commander." Deputy Company Commander Ma Shan scrambled to go.
"No, I'll come back when the situation is right." After saying this, Shi Qingyang and the soldier moved towards the direction where the sharp knife squad was blocked.
The sharp knife squad was trapped at the exit of a mountain.
Shi Shuguo crawled over and asked the sharp knife squad leader: "How is the situation up front?"
"Company commander, we can't get out from the front. As long as we move, the Russians will shoot." The sharp knife squad leader said helplessly.
"What is this place?"
"not sure."
"Damn it, you can't start a fire either." Shi Qingyang took out the map from his bag, "I can't see anything!"
At this moment, a flare flew from the front.
The white flare tore through the night sky and hovered in the air for more than ten seconds. The bright light illuminated the earth as if it were daytime. For a moment, the darkness retreated, and all the objects in front of us became visible.
Shi Qingyang blurted out: "Highway 10."
That's right, this is Route 10, and it's the most winding and dangerous section of Route 10.
"What are you really afraid of? Why are you here?" Shi Qingyang said worriedly.
I saw that after Highway 10 curves here, it is neither wide nor flat, and there is a steep cliff on the right side and a bottomless cliff on the left side. There are about 50 cm wide and 50 cm deep on both sides of the road.
of drainage ditches.
After Shi Qingyang realized this, he knew it was too late. This was the Russians' intention to intercept the 6th company here.
"First squad leader, you must stay here and never let the Russians in front come over." After Shi Qingyang gave the order to the sharp knife squad leader, he got up and ran towards the troops behind him.
As soon as he got up, Russian machine guns rang out.
From the edge of the mountain, the Russians strafed the road and threw grenades downwards.
For a time, there were constant gunshots and explosions on the highway.
The 100 men of the Fourth Company were crowded on the road less than 200 meters away, with nowhere to hide. The whole company was suddenly in chaos.
The soldiers swarmed towards the ditch.
Gunshots rang out from the mountains on the right, the jungle on the left, and the mountain passes ahead.
Shi Qingyang judged from the direction that this was a pocket formation arranged by the Russians. Maybe it wouldn't be long before the Russians closed the cover. By then, the more than 100 people he brought with him would be in the Russian pockets!
Shi Qingyang guessed correctly, this was exactly what the Russians intended.
In order to set up this pocket formation, the Red Army waited here for two full days. Just as the Chinese ** team was fighting for Highland 17 and 321, the Russians continued to send agents to spy on the ** Squadron's movements.
What the Chinese *** Corps engages in is interspersed with encirclement and annihilation warfare. The Russians' intention is the same. They must eliminate the effective strength of the Chinese *** Corps, fight big battles, and fight small battles.
The Russian anti-aircraft aircraft, light and heavy machine guns, and various individual firearms all fired at the more than a hundred Chinese soldiers down the mountain. The bullets fired screamed and hit their heads like water.
At the beginning, some soldiers mistakenly thought they were brothers and misunderstood their own people, and kept shouting to the Russians on the mountain:
"Stop it quickly, one of our own."
"Stop fighting, you have fucking eyes!"
Several soldiers lay on the ground and kept shouting. After the shouting, the bullets rained down more intensively. The soldiers lay in the trench and did not dare to move.
The Communist Russians seemed to understand the shouts of the soldiers below, and occasionally a few chirping shouts could be heard. The louder the shouts, the more bullets were fired.
These soldiers understood that the people on the mountain were not their own, but real Russians. No more illusions, no luck, no more hope, let’s start fighting!
The soldiers of the 6th Company on the road began to fight back.
Because we couldn't see clearly where the Russians were, we could only use the firelight to find them. The spot where the flames were burning on the mountain must be the focus of the Russian firepower. The soldiers didn't care about aiming and shooting. They raised their guns and fired back at the firelight randomly.
Even without the presence of the Russians, the Russian firepower could be suppressed. The fires flickered on the mountain and below.
The Russians were well prepared and fired flares down the mountain from time to time.
The flares rose straight above the highway, exposing the soldiers' hiding places. The situation was that the highway could be seen on the mountain, but people on the highway could not see the mountain. As long as the flares were there, some soldiers would be killed or injured.
"Puff puff!" From time to time, soldiers were shot, and blood flowed from their bodies everywhere.
If the soldier who was hit did not shout out himself, it would be difficult for people around him to notice that someone had been shot.
The Russians on the mountain were fighting more and more furiously, while the soldiers down the mountain were getting less and less confident as they fought harder and harder. The sound of shooting around them was getting quieter and quieter.
Shi Qingyang was blocked on a highway. He rushed forward several times but was knocked down into a ditch by Russian fire.
Ma Shan, the deputy company commander who was in the middle of the company, couldn't stand it anymore. If this situation continued, the entire army would be annihilated.
"Qian Sen, Qian Sen." Mashan shouted to Qian Sen, the second platoon leader.
Qian Sen climbed to Mashan from another place: "Here we come!"
"Call the people in your row together and follow me." Mashan said loudly.
"Yes." After Qian Sen agreed, he returned to his original position, "Those who are still alive in the second platoon should follow my orders and follow the company commander to charge."
Using the light of the flare, Ma Shan saw clearly that there was a hillock not far ahead. There were only two machine guns on the hillock. As long as he took down the hillock, he could suppress the Russians on both sides with fire. So he had to take the second platoon with him.
Capture that hillock.
Several soldiers were hit by bullets as soon as they stood up.
Mashan hurriedly ordered: "Don't stand up, follow me and climb forward to take down that mountain bag."
The soldiers in the trench took advantage of the cover of the trench and moved forward at a low speed. Those without shelter crawled forward on the road little by little.
A bright light rose, another flare was hung in the sky, and the road was illuminated again. The soldiers who were crawling forward quickly stopped and lay motionless on the ground, trying not to incur Russian machine gun fire. When the light went out,
Then we moved forward quickly. After a few twists and turns, we quickly approached the mountain.
The two machine guns on the hill continued to fire at the road.
"Go ahead"
Mashan shouted and was the first to stand up and rush towards the mountain bag.
When the dozen or so soldiers in the second row heard the shouting, they all got up from the ground and followed Ma Shan forward.
At this time, the two machine guns on the hill discovered the Chinese ** team's intentions, immediately turned their guns and fired fiercely at the attacking crowd.
The second platoon was pinned under the mountain.
At this time, a figure separated from the crowd and ran to the other side.
"Who is that? Don't run away blindly." Ma Shan shouted in the dark.
The black shadow didn't care about this. You called for yours and I ran for mine. The black shadow was seen fluttering and rolling to avoid machine gun fire. In the blink of an eye, it was close to the Russian machine gun position.
The shadow shook his hand and threw a hand bomb at the Russian machine gun position.
With a "boom", the Russian machine gun became mute.
Another machine gun found something wrong here, and hurriedly turned its muzzle and shot at the black shadow. The black shadow was hit by the machine gun bullets and could not raise its head.
Hide reply
As soon as the machine gun turned its head, the pressure on the second row was immediately gone. Mashan shouted: "Go up."
With a whoop, a dozen soldiers stood up, shooting towards the mountain while rushing towards the top of the mountain.
The Russian wanted to turn the machine gun back again, but the soldiers of the Chinese ** team could not give him this chance.
After a row of bullets from the second row of soldiers passed by, the Russian machine gunner immediately lay down on the machine gun and stopped moving. As soon as the second Russian took over the machine gun, he was hit by another bullet before he could fire.
When the war reaches this point, everyone knows how to strike first. How to let go of the enemy's fighter jets that have finally been regained.
Qian Sen held a light machine gun, straightened his waist like crazy and rushed forward while sweeping.
The dense machine gun bullets of "Tatotagu", coupled with the submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles of other soldiers, immediately formed a fire net in front of the Russian trenches.
It was too late, but soon, the soldiers rushed into the Russian position.
As soon as Qian Sen jumped into the trench, he saw two people fighting each other. He wanted to shoot to kill the Russians, but he was afraid of accidentally injuring one of his own. It was too dark to see clearly who was the Russian and who was one of his own.
.
At this time, another flare went up.
Qian Sen used the light to see clearly that the person in the scuffle was Pan Luwei.
"Pan Luwei, get out of the way." Qian Sen wanted to shoot and said loudly to Pan Luwei.
Pan Luwei ignored him, maybe because he was stuck by the Russian, and the two couldn't be separated at all, and they just struggled. Suddenly, Pan Luwei threw the Russian on his back and threw him onto the hillside.
The Red Army really got a big advantage after being thrown out by Pan Luwei.
At this time, the hilltop was completely occupied by the second platoon led by Mashan. If this Red Army soldier did not escape, he would have to be taken as a prisoner or eliminated.
The remaining light of the flare had not dissipated yet. I saw the Red Army soldier standing up and running down the mountain.
Pan Luwei grabbed the machine gun from Qian Sen's hand and started to shoot.
"No, there are people at the foot of the mountain." Qian Sen reminded Pan Luwei.
Pan Luwei didn't say anything, threw the machine gun to Qian Sen, grabbed a rifle on the ground, stretched it forward, and fired without aiming.
"Pah, pah." Two gunshots rang out, and the Red Army soldier fell to the ground.
After the Russian fell to the ground, Qian Sen broke out in sweat and shouted to Pan Luwei: "You are too damn brave, we are all our own people at the foot of the mountain."
"It's okay, I'm sure." After finishing the fight, Pan Luwei also felt that he lacked confidence.
After Mashan led the second platoon to occupy the hillock, he organized firepower to fight back against the Russians in the woods and mountains opposite.
By this time, the Fourth Company, which had mistakenly been ambushed by the Russians, finally had a commanding height slightly higher than the ground, so that it could compete with the Russians!
The Russians on the mountain thought that the 6th company was almost beaten, so they took advantage of their skirmishing skills and the advantage of fighting at night to rush down from the mountain and rush into the 4th company's position.
Hide reply
At this time, there were more than a dozen scuffles on the highway. From time to time, shouts of "oh, oh" and the sound of people falling to the ground could be heard.
The guerrillas of the Red Army, who have been active in the most dangerous areas of the war all year round, are the most active. They do not wait for orders from their commanders, some shout and rush down, while others secretly go down the mountain and sneak into the squadron.
When these guerrillas came down the mountain, the Russian firepower immediately weakened. Only the hillock occupied by the second platoon was still firing at the Russians in the jungle opposite.
There were scuffles all over the highway.
As soon as the fire net in front of Shi Qingyang weakened, he ran towards the company as if lifeless.
As soon as he ran out a few steps, he was knocked down by two people who jumped from the hillside.
Shi Qingyang was a strong man, so this attack was nothing to him. He reacted quickly enough, and the moment he fell to the ground, he turned over the muzzle of his gun and fired several shots at the black shadow without any reason.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang," four gunshots rang out, and the two black figures were all on the ground.
"Damn it, I don't have time to play with you." Shi Qingyang cursed, stood up and continued running forward.
In the dark night, it was unclear whether we were the enemy or not. No one dared to shoot again without being able to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. For a while, the sound of gunfire on the highway became fainter.
A soldier standing in the ditch kept aiming his machine gun at the chaotic crowd on the highway, but he did not dare to shoot and was at a loss when looking at the chaotic fighting scene.
Shi Qingyang flew into the ditch.
Before the soldier could react, Shi Qingyang was already approaching.
"Damn it, you're stupid, hit me!"
"Company commander." The young soldier recognized Shi Qingyang's voice: "We can't fight, they are stuck together."
"Shoot up the mountain to prevent the Russians from coming down." Shi Qingyang said, grabbing the machine gun from the soldier's hand. "Go and tell the others to shoot up the mountain and never let a Russian come down again."
Not only did the machine gun in Shi Qingyang's hand rang, but several other machine guns also rang.
Suddenly, tongues of fire spurting from the road finally stopped the Russians rushing down the mountain.
The Russians who came down to the road gradually became lonely because they had no help. After a while, the remaining Russians were also eliminated by the soldiers.
After the highway was back in the hands of the Fourth Company, Shi Qingyang began to organize the first and third platoons to break out.
Eight machine guns were placed on the front line, forming a line of fire across the hillside. The soldiers spread out into a fighting formation of three and attacked the hilltop fiercely.
Shi Qingyang knew that if he did not capture the hilltop, the entire company would not be able to escape the clutches of the Russians. Therefore, he would capture the hilltop even if his life was at stake.
"The dark moon kills people on a night, and the wind blows high and sets people on fire.,,
The Russians made full use of this invisible barrier and began to kill the Chinese people wantonly. Some of the Chinese people blocked on the road were shot from time to time, and some continued to die.
Shi Qingyang ordered a platoon to attack the Russians on the hilltop and regain the commanding heights.
After the platoon was gone, he then ordered all firepower on the road to return fire on the Russians.
"Hit me up the mountain."
After Shi Qingyang gave the order, all kinds of firearms exploded and fired fiercely at the Russian fire points on the mountain.
The 6th company is a reinforced company equipped with mortars, recoilless rifles, flamethrowers and other offensive firepower.
The artillerymen kept filling the shells and "bombing" them non-stop!
The flamethrower had a short range and could not reach the Russians on the road. So the two soldiers meandered up the mountain. After climbing to a certain distance, they pulled the trigger and spit out the tongues of flame inside.
"Hoo, hoo" two flames jumped out and quickly ignited the wormwood.
As soon as the flames appeared, several Russians hiding in the grass could not stay still. They hurriedly jumped out of the fire scene with the flames and fled towards the mountains desperately.
The silhouettes in the back contrasted with the firelight, and they looked like four or five human torches. These Red Army soldiers were jumping up and down, beating the flames on their bodies as they ran.
The soldiers couldn't help but aimed at the Russians with dozens of guns.
"Tart goo goo goo goo goo goo..."
It was impossible to tell whether it was a machine gun or a rifle. Under a burst of fierce fire, these Russians did not run three meters away before they all fell to the ground.
At this time, the mortars and recoilless rifles also played a powerful role in the Russian position. They showed their power to the extreme, guiding a row of people to rush upward. The distance between the shells and the people was too close, and as soon as the shells moved
, the soldiers followed, almost to the point of fighting with bayonets.
In the crater where the artillery shells exploded, the soldiers jumped into the crater before the smoke cleared. The optimal cooperation between man and artillery did not give the Russians any chance to fill in the shooting gaps.
The Russians who were about to go down the mountain were beaten and retreated again.
A row of soldiers rushed upward inch by inch, and the Russians on the mountain retreated step by step.
If this group of Russians hadn't been nose-to-nose, causing nosebleeds and head-to-head collisions, they would have been helpless. They would never have given up half of the hillside to the attackers in the blink of an eye.
Among the Chinese soldiers rushing in front, some were shot and fell to the ground from time to time. However, when those in front fell, those behind immediately made up for them.
There were only sounds of gunfire, artillery, and grenade explosions on the hillside, but absolutely no panicked shouts.
Seeing that the Russian position was very close in front of us, with only ten meters to go, we could capture the hillside in one fell swoop.
Platoon leader Jin Guoqiang was happy. In order to inspire his comrades to make a last-ditch effort, he shouted: "Go! Take the top of the mountain!"
After hearing the platoon leader's shout, the soldiers no longer remained silent and started shouting, "Charge! Charge!"
Suddenly, a sudden thunderous roar covered the hillside.
At this time, the hillside is no longer dull, no longer depressing, no longer sad, and there is dawn ahead. As long as we break through the darkness in front of us, all the brothers in the company can bid farewell to the god of death, and the light of life will return to their hands.
If anyone is not excited after seeing this situation, then he has either lost his temper or is too calm.
Even Shi Qingyang shouted excitedly at the foot of the mountain: "Work harder and win the position for me!" (To be continued)
