Chapter 73 Blocking Battle (I)

I was woken up by the soldiers pinching Ren Zhong. When I woke up, I felt like my back was broken. The burning tanks roasted the snow beside me. The snow water mixed with blood soaked my cotton coat, making me feel a little cold.

"Where are the tanks? Where are the enemies?" Looking at the twenty soldiers around me, I realized for a long time: "What are you doing when you stand? Why don't you go to fight?"

"The enemy tanks have all been blown up!" The man squatting in front of him replied. I looked at it for a long time before I recognized it as Hu Zi.

"Fried over?" I couldn't help but sit up, and then I found that there were fuel tanks everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of gasoline and burnt smell.

"It's over." Instructor Zhao also nodded and said, "One or two cars ran away. It was so dark that I couldn't see clearly. The rest were all lying here, a total of twelve cars."

"Where are the soldiers?" I stood up tremblingly, my steps were a little unstable.

"Everything...is all here!" Instructor Zhao said with a heavy expression.

"Are you all here?" I couldn't help but feel a chill. Two people lined up to 70 people, and only 20 people were left in one battle, and the casualty rate actually exceeded two-thirds!

At this time, there was another tight sound of gunfire and a unique explosion sound from the wooden grenade of the volunteer soldiers.

"It's the deputy company commander and others!" I quickly realized that it was Zhao Yongxin and the others who were still fighting with the British army, and immediately ordered: "Go and reinforce..."

"Yes!" the soldiers responded and ran to the position without saying a word. Even the recruits did not hesitate at all.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but nodded. Instructor Zhao said it was true. New soldiers did grow very quickly on the battlefield. There is a big difference between them and veterans. In fact, it is still whether they can put life and death aside. The most important thing that makes them ignore life and death is the battlefield where blood and death are always there, the number of watching their comrades sacrifice one after another, and the number of turning the fear in their hearts into courage.

"Company Commander, your gun!" A careful recruit found my sniper rifle from somewhere and handed it over.

"Yeah!" I nodded, silently took the m1c handed over by the recruit, and endured the severe pain from my back and walked forward with the team.

When he climbed up the hill, he was shocked. The positions were full of craters and corpses. There were only 7 people alive. Little Shandong also had colorful colors. Bright red blood seeped out from under the white bandage and frozen into black blood clots outside.

"How is it? Are you seriously injured?" I lay beside Xiaoshandong and asked quietly.

"Nothing!" Xiao Shandong turned his head and said with lingering fear: "Company Commander, this British man shot very accurately. I hid behind the stone and poked my head out and swung the grenade, and almost got beaten away."

"That's because your head is so small!" Zhao Yongxin joked again: "I said Little Shandong, I'll thank your mother tomorrow. If she wants to make your head bigger, then your life will be difficult to save!"

"Go..." Xiao Shandong looked aggrieved and speechless, but he laughed at the soldiers beside him.

I handed Xiao Shandong a hat casually and said with a smile: "If you want to save your head, just put the hat on the bandage, otherwise it would be not easy for the British guy to hit your white head."

"Yes!" Xiao Shandong responded and took the hat and put it on.

"Company Commander, these British guys are not simple." Zhao Yongxin said seriously: "Although the equipment is not as good as the American guys, it can be more capable than the American guys. Not only is it better to shoot, but you dare to come up and fight bayonets with us. We have just fought for a while. If you don't come up again, we may not be able to hold on."

"Where is the machine gun?" Seeing that they all had rifles in their hands, I couldn't help asking in confusion.

"There are no bullets long ago!" Xiao Shandong curled his lips and said, "The bullets given by Captain Chu are not enough to hit them for a while. Otherwise, those British guys can get them? The grenades are almost used up."

"The explosive pack and blasting tube were also used up when the tank was blown up just now." Instructor Zhao continued.

"Why haven't Captain Chu and the others come yet?" I was about to say this, but when I thought that the soldiers around me were just following me, I swallowed this and changed my words and said, "Don't worry! Captain Chu and the others will come soon. We must make dumplings by then!"

"Here you come!" At this time, Zhao Yongxin lowered his head and raised his gun and aimed at the front. He saw a dark area of ​​British troops hundreds of meters at the foot of the mountain. There were more than 200 people, and all the rifles were equipped with bayonets. They shone like fish scales in the moonlight. It seemed that they wanted to rush up to fight with us again.

"Boom..." At this time, a sudden sound of cannons sounded, and a fierce fire came toward the hill where we were. Although these shells had no accuracy, their landing points were roughly on this hill.

It seems that the British finally figured out one thing. If they don’t capture the small hill in front of them, they can’t take them away. Instead of leaving the shells to the volunteers or blowing them up in vain, it’s better to knock them out randomly.

They were right now because we were guarding this hill and we had not yet come to build fortifications. After a rumbling sound of cannons, I counted the number of people and found that five more comrades had lost. Fortunately, they didn't have many shells, and the fire lasted only for more than ten minutes. If we had another ten minutes, we would be more than half of them.

"Boom..." There were more than a dozen muffled sounds. What surprised everyone was that the explosion came from the British position. I slowly poked my head out and looked at the British position through the sight. It was they who were blowing up the cannon that had fired the shells.

"Captain Chu and the others are coming!" I said softly. It must be that their scouts had reconnaissanced Commander Chu's troops, so they did such abnormal behavior. Then I became worried again that they would not intend to blow up the car containing food! But fortunately, they did not seem to have this plan.

Think about it, if the British army escaped on foot on this dark snow, they would not have been able to escape from the volunteer army, known as iron footing. So they still wanted to escape from the road by car, so they wanted to get rid of cannons and shells that would slow them down.

They can use surviving tanks to clear obstacles on the road, but no matter what, as long as they still want to use the road to escape, as long as they want to jump out of the siege of the volunteers and escape back to Seoul, they must pull out our nails.
