Chapter 123: Fell

"kill!"

More than a hundred soldiers rushed towards the top of the mountain with M1 rifles with bayonets. In the cold night, the shouts of killing from the bottom of their hearts were breathtaking, and the bayonets were particularly dazzling under the reflection of moonlight and snow.

However, the steep hillside and the semi-melt snow water brought great resistance to the soldiers' charge. Many soldiers fell and fell during the charge, and then blocked the several soldiers following behind.

Several assisted mortars quickly shot several shells to the top of the mountain. The shells exploded one by one, but it seemed that no one was hit. We didn't even know where the enemy's trenches were.

One hundred meters...

I nervously raised the sniper rifle in my hand and looked towards the top of the mountain. There was still no movement in the enemy's position, no gunshots, and there was not even a single fire of cigarette butts. It was pitch black and terrifyingly quiet. It seemed that a man-eating demon was squatting on the top of the mountain waiting to harvest the lives of the volunteer soldiers.

Eighty meters!

Although the hillside is steep and muddy, all the soldiers grew up in the countryside and have never climbed and rolled on such mountains, so the impact speed is not slow. The distance of twenty meters is only a blink of an eye, but there is still no movement on the top of the mountain.

Sixty meters!

Although the air around me was still cold, I felt sweating in my palms. If I rushed to the battlefield, I would have sacrificed my life. Maybe I wouldn't be so nervous, but now I am watching the soldiers charge towards an unknown and powerful enemy, and the feeling is completely different.

Forty meters!

At this time, I couldn't help but wonder. The attack developed more smoothly than I imagined. Now it was the distance that the soldiers threw grenades. Generally, at this distance, the volunteers only had to throw rows of grenades, and then took the grenades to blow the enemy up before they could react. The battle could end.

But is it so easy to fight in Gloucester? I couldn't help but frown.

As expected, as I thought, with the sound of a small speaker, more than ten soldiers running in the front row took out their grenades at the same time...

But at this moment, the gunshots sounded, and dozens of flames suddenly spurted out from the top of the mountain. The sound of bean-like shooting overwhelmed the soldiers' shouts and killings. The machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns on the top of the mountain roared together, and bullets poured towards the soldiers like raindrops. The soldiers in the front row were shot and fell to the ground before they could even come. Then the rolling grenades exploded among the soldiers, causing a bloody storm.

But no one stopped the warriors behind them. They seemed to be fearless at the scene in front of them and were still rushing up desperately. If they rushed fast, the distance of more than 40 meters would be less than a minute. The soldiers were unwilling to give up. Once they rushed to the high ground, the soldiers could fight with the enemy for bayonets and courage. They just wanted the bayonets to be red. But the distance of more than 40 meters was like a dam made of bullets, blocking the soldiers' pace of progress.

The flares were hit in rows, illuminating the soldiers' advancement.

Some soldiers also raised the m1 rifle in their hands and shot at the top of the mountain, but before they could fire two bullets, they fell into a pool of blood. The machine gunner also set up machine gun cover, but due to the angle, the machine gunner always fell to the ground before they could fire a few bullets.

The enemy's bullets ruthlessly took away the lives of the soldiers. The soldiers rolled down like wooden stakes...

The soldiers were so pressed by the bullets that they couldn't even raise their heads, but even if they were lying down, it seemed that there was no difference. The bullets flew towards the soldiers like eyes, and even the mortars not far from me were not spared.

I could clearly see the fire from the enemy's muzzle in the scope. I wanted to pull the trigger several times to hit the fire, but finally sighed helplessly. The inclination was too large. Even if I could accurately judge the enemy's position by relying on the fire at the muzzle, this shot had no other possibility except hitting the soil under the enemy and exposing my own position.

After a while, the soldiers retreated, but the enemy's bullets and grenades kept following the soldiers. At this time, I realized what it was like to have been killed or injured in less than half an hour. However, this time, the company led by Chen Liang sacrificed more than 40 soldiers, and the others were more or less injured...

In a few minutes, only a few minutes from launching the attack to the soldiers retreating, the gunshots stopped and the shouts of killing stopped. Only a pool of scarlet blood and corpses were left on the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, my heart gradually sinks. The enemy's geographical advantage is too obvious. In addition to their precise shooting skills, unless they shoot without bullets, they will only increase their casualties.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but gritted my teeth, and ran towards the camp with my feet on my waist.

I returned to the battalion headquarters and found Xu Feng. Before I could report the situation to him, I found that his face was a little wrong. Seeing that the mud and water on him seemed to have just returned from the battlefield, I must have observed the development of the battle just like me.

"Battlefield Commander Xu..." I knew he had also gone to observe, but I didn't report any situation. I said bluntly: "If this continues, even if all the soldiers in the battalion are all killed, the task will not be completed. Should we think of a solution?"

"Do you have a way?" Xu Feng asked coldly.

I shook my head speechlessly.

Xu Feng glanced at the sniper rifle in my hand: "Can you hit them?"

I could only shake my head.

"You can't beat them, and you can't hit them, so how can you fight?" Xu Feng felt a little depressed in his tone. He had never seen him so discouraged for so long, but I also knew that he was not afraid, but watching the soldiers' casualties...

"Call the company commanders of each company to report the situation!" Lin Zhenglong, who was looking at the map, seemed to feel the seriousness of the situation and gave orders to the guards.

"Yes!" The guard responded and ran out quickly.

But after a while, the four company commanders of Zhao Yongxin, Hu Zi, Wu Zhong and Chen Liang were all here. Among them, Zhao Yongxin, Hu Zi and Chen Liang, the three company commanders in charge of the main attack, were covered in mud and blood stains. When they were lit under the kerosene light, they could not tell which ones were yellow mud and which were blood. That way, they could tell that this battle was not easy to fight.

"What are the difficulties?" Lin Zhenglong didn't say much and asked directly: "If you have any difficulties, just raise them, why can't you get them?"

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. If Xu Feng and I were on the battlefield and saw that scene with our own eyes, we wouldn't have asked like the instructor: "Why can't I take it down?" It's no wonder that the soldiers can't take this high ground, it's obviously using their bodies to block bullets.

But the three company commanders in charge of the main attack still lowered their heads in shame, as if the child who had done something wrong was waiting for criticism.

I felt a little reluctant, so I replied on my behalf: "The snow water melts the mud on the road, affecting the speed of the soldiers' attack; the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and I cannot effectively suppress the enemy's fire. Once the enemy flares hit, we will be exposed to their guns; the most important thing is that the enemy's marksmanship is too accurate. One or two enemies' marksmanship is OK, but if the enemy's marksmanship are all accurate, it would be terrible!"

"Our army is not skilled in using Soviet-style equipment!" Xu Feng added from the side: "The turntable gun is heavy in front and light in the back, and cannot be grabbed in the hands like the Czech style. Guoliunov has two wheels under it. It will roll down on the hillside. If it is mounted on an uneven ground, it will not be accurate. However, the main reason is that Deputy Battalion Commander Cui said that the enemy has good quality, and perhaps it is the most difficult enemy we have ever encountered."

After hearing what Xu Feng and I said, Lin Zhenglong seemed to understand the embarrassing situation of our army, and he couldn't help but gasp and frown and stop talking.

"Battery Commander! Let's go up and fight again!" Hu Zi clenched his fist and shouted, "I don't believe that I can't rush up. If I can't rush up, I will not come back!"

"What can you do if you don't come back?" Xu Feng couldn't help but curse: "Even if the entire battalion of soldiers doesn't come back, can they complete the mission?"

The soldiers couldn't help but remain silent. At this moment, a sudden sound of grenade explosion came from outside. Everyone was stunned and grabbed their guns and ran out.

After a while, two soldiers hurried over and reported to Chen Liang in a choked voice: "It's Platoon Commander Zhang. He was shot in the chest and had no medicine. When everyone was not careful, they crawled into the field and pulled the grenades..."

Chen Liang couldn't help but shook his whole body, and after a while, he slowly spit out a few words: "Calend all the weapons and grenades in the hands of the injured soldiers!"

"Yes!" the two soldiers responded and ran back.

"Oh!" After walking into the air-raid shelter again, Lin Zhenglong couldn't help but sigh: "Insufficient medicines are also a big difficulty for us!"

"If it was daytime, this battle might be easier!" At this time, Zhao Yongxin proposed an idea: "We all go several times more than them! This high ground is not high. We can hit the top of the mountain without having to go up. Even if we can't hit people, it can at least play a role in suppressing firepower! We can't see that we are going to fight randomly. The Japanese are not afraid at all..."

"Why are you going to be flew when the American plane arrived at that dawn?" Before Zhao Yongxin finished speaking, Hu Zi interrupted impatiently: "Whenever there are flew in the sky and exploded on the ground, can that be flew?"

"Company Commander Zhao said something reasonable!" I nodded and agreed: "When fighting such a tough battle, the night will not be of any benefit to us, because once the enemy strikes a flare, it is no different for us to charge during the day, but the enemy can hide in the dark and shoot, so the night battle is not good for us, but when the daytime, the American plane still cannot be dealt with!"

"We had a while before dawn!" Lin Zhenglong thought about it and replied: "The American plane didn't come so quickly, it's just..."

"It's just that time is too short!" Xu Feng frowned and added: "Once the enemy plane comes when attacking, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Everyone knows what Xu Feng means. The volunteer army has no air defense capabilities at all. If the American plane arrives during the attack, just throw two incendiary bombs away...

"I think you can try it!" I nodded and said, "Our volunteer army has always only played night wars, so the enemy will inevitably relax its vigilance by dawn, and then our attack will receive unexpected results. After a night of fierce battles, the enemy's combat effectiveness will inevitably decline the next day, not to mention that we can lurk a group of people to the front of their positions in advance and catch them off guard!"

"Landing?" Xu Feng couldn't help but shook his head: "With the British army's qualities, it is difficult to sneak up to the forefront of their positions without being discovered!"

I gritted my teeth and finally made up my mind and said, "It's not possible to climb up, but we can run up."

"Run up?" Everyone couldn't help but look at me in confusion, not understanding what I meant by running up.

In the valley, the soldiers were making the final preparations for the battle. This time I was going to go up, not to capture the top of the mountain, but to provide cover for the lurking soldiers.

Wu Zhong's company had not participated in the battle yet, so it became the main force of this lurking mission. His company was divided into three platoons and assigned to troops in various directions. All they had to do was follow the troops, and then pretend to be dead and lurk in the pile of dead people when the enemy gunfire sounded, and wait until dawn to cooperate with the main force to capture the high ground in one fell swoop.

This is what I said to run up.

I personally think this is not a very clever method, because it comes at the cost of sacrificing the lives of the soldiers. But after I said this, the soldiers agreed in unison. According to their statement, there are no immortals in wars, and they can complete the task with the least cost and sacrifice the fewest soldiers. Then this method is a good method.

I think it seems to be right. If you still play according to common sense, then the soldiers will definitely suffer greater casualties, and even after these greater casualties, they will not be able to complete the task...

So a lurking team was quickly organized. Each of them brought a Bobosha submachine gun and five grenades. Submachine guns and grenades, and the close combat gold was not exchanged. Their mission was to use firepower to cover the large army to rush up, rather than to fight bayonets with them. After all, the opponent was British soldiers with extremely accurate shooting skills. Even if they were only 40 or 50 meters away, the soldiers would have to pay a heavy price to rush up and fight bayonets with them. So now the volunteers might as well learn the tactics of the US military and use submachine guns and grenades to suppress the opponent's firepower at close range!

As a sharpshooter, I am also "honest" to be a member of the lurking force. The only thing I worry about now is to become a corpse before I can lurking.

"Captain Cui..." At this time, Chen Liang walked to me: "You can help me command first, I'll check the ammunition, and I'll be back soon!"

"As long, come back quickly!" I agreed without thinking, and grabbed the sniper rifle in my hand for the last inspection, and filled my m1911 magazine with bullets.

But when he waited, he didn't see Chen Liang coming back. Then he thought it was wrong. Chen Liang's company was equipped with American equipment, and all the ammunition was carried by himself. Where else did he go to see ammunition?

At this time, Xu Feng walked over with a gloomy face and waved to me: "Do you know if the company commander under your command is leaving the battlefield?"

"He..." I was stunned when I heard this: "He said he was going to check the ammunition, how did I know..."

"What do you think of ammunition?" Xu Feng spat: "Mom, he's going to run away!"

As he was talking, he saw Chen Liang being taken back by the guards in disgrace. The soldiers felt something was wrong and looked at him with their eyes, as if they understood something.

Xu Feng looked at the soldiers, then at Chen Liang, pressing the pistol hanging on his waist with his right hand, his eyes cold and cold.

Ren Feng is the best relationship with Chen Liang in the company. At this time, he couldn't help but run up to ask Chen Liang and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Chen Liang only lowered his head and didn't say anything. Ren Fengyou finally believed this fact. He smiled bitterly, and suddenly punched Chen Liang to the ground: "Be a deserter, be a deserter! Are you worthy of your dead comrades! Deputy Battalion Commander Cui respects you so much and even asked you to be a company commander. Are you worthy of him!"

"Am I afraid of death? Am I timid?" Chen Liang seemed to have made his promise, and he got up from the ground and shouted: "I have also fought against the Kuomintang and fought with the Ma family army. I have never seen anything on the battlefield. But I was bombarded by the grenade of Platoon Commander Zhang!"

"What kind of birds do you do when Captain Zhang?" Ren Feng became even more angry when he heard this, blushed and shouted with a thick neck: "He is a fighting hero, and he dies gloriously! He doesn't look like you, a coward!"

"I'm not afraid of dying on the battlefield! If I'm injured?" Chen Liang also pushed back without showing any weakness: "If I break my hands and my feet are broken? There is no medicine to treat them all, will they all hurt to death? Or will they pull the grenade like Platoon Commander Zhang?"

As soon as Chen Liang said this, the soldiers were all silent. There was no medical equipment and lack of medicine, which was also a very severe test for the soldiers. There was no need to say anything more. Sometimes even if they were slightly injured, they would face life danger because of no medical conditions.

Therefore, the soldiers are more willing to die in battle than be injured on the battlefield.

Chen Liang licked his lips and threw his hat to the ground: "Mom, isn't it just a dead person? Battalion Commander, don't kill me, just let me go up and fight against the Japanese!"

"battalion commander!"

"battalion commander!"

...

The soldiers all turned their eyes to Xu Feng, their eyes full of begging.

"Leave him!" I walked to Xu Feng, sighed and said, "If he escapes again, you will be the first to kill me!"

"And me!"

"And me!"

...
