Chapter 155: Battle of Mapingli (7)

When I took Hu Zi and his men to the 307.3 Highland again with guns, the place had turned into another appearance. The original trenches and fortifications were gone, and there were corpses that were blown to pieces everywhere. The soil had already turned into a disgusting red because of the mixed flesh and blood.

The Soviet Union supported our explosive bags and shells, and the charges inside were several times larger than ordinary explosives. The bomb bags and shells in several tunnels exploded at the same time, just like a giant waving a large shovel, shoveling the soil and corpses on the entire high ground into the air, and then mixed together and fell down.

I won’t say much about the corpses buried deep in the soil. The half-buried corpses can be seen everywhere in the soil. Some of them are exposed outside the soil, some are their upper bodies, some are their legs, and some are some organs, all of which are bloody and bloody. There are also broken and curved guns and rocket launchers... Even more than 20 tanks originally parked at the foot of the mountain were not spared. They were either blown up to the sky or buried deep in the soil and disappeared. There were also several burning fires, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of fishy smell and gasoline.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers were stunned. Even Hu Zi, who had fought for more than ten years, had never seen such a big scene before, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you stunned!" Seeing this, I couldn't help but shout: "Build fortifications immediately, and the enemy is coming soon!"

"Yes!" The soldiers then realized, and waved their shovels and digged on the position like crazy, but after a few strokes, they "clang" sounded, and it was a blown machine gun; it was a clang again, and it was a helmet. Sometimes it would dig out a hand, a head, or something, and the volunteers were secretly disgusted after many battles.

The corpse, weapons and soil mixed together made building a trench a very difficult thing, and the Americans seemed to be out of temper by this blow. Before we could build the fortifications, teams of wolves and tigers rushed up.

Their attack this time was abnormal, that was, there was no artillery preparation or tank cover, and even the formation was messy, looking more like a pack of wolves that had lost their minds and wanted to eat us alive.

This seems to prove the correctness of my previous sentence, "The two troops on the battlefield did not have hatred at all. If there is more battle, hatred will exist."

Later I wondered why this was so much like Lu Xun said: "There is no road in the world, and when more people walk, it becomes a road." So I thought, if I abandoned Rong Congbi, I might have become a literary master. But then I thought about it, it seemed that the literary masters of this era would be beaten to be a stinky old man, so I quickly gave up this idea.

"Be ready for battle!" With my order, the soldiers lay in the small pit that had just arrived and dug a few times and set up machine guns. Just as I lay down, I felt helpless to find that there was an American's smelly foot not far from my mouth.

The gunshots quickly rang out, and the angry US troops no longer covered each other's attacks as usual, but instead shot at us like a group of chaotic ants, rushing towards us, completely ignoring their own safety. Not to mention, this kind of fighting style has grown a lot in momentum, and their fearless fighting style naturally put a pressure on the volunteers. At least the bullets that ran towards us with a roar made us feel a little breathless.

But there is hatred in the hearts of the US military, and there is no such thing as the Volunteer Army. From a certain perspective, everything the Volunteer Army does is just to save its own lives, so we seem to be more qualified to be angry and more qualified to be hated!

"Fight!" With my order, the machine guns in the soldiers' hands fired, bullets were fired one by one, and the US troops fell one by one, but the anger made the US troops extraordinary bravery. Although people kept falling under our guns, they still rushed forward fearlessly. The people in front fell down, and the people behind rushed forward stepping on the corpses, and even lying down to fight back.

There were only about forty volunteers guarding this high ground. Not only did there be no fortifications on the high ground, but there were enemies everywhere, including US troops and Turkish brigades, which were black. Moreover, there were enemies constantly jumping out of the trenches on the positions behind and pouring towards us like a tide.

"Puff..." As the sound of bullets entering the flesh for a while, a soldier beside him was shot several times and fell into a pool of blood. Since the soldiers had no time to build fortifications, although they were lying on the ground and shooting at the US military, the exposed area was still large, and soldiers continued to die under the enemy's stray bullets. As the firepower of the volunteers became smaller and smaller, and the US military was getting closer and closer. The other two high grounds were also facing the enemy's attacks and had no way to support them.

"Bang bang..." I finished firing the last two bullets in the gun chamber, and then rolled in front of the soldiers who died beside me. Without any worry, I pushed away his body, grabbed the machine gun and fired at the enemy. I saw the US troops falling one by one in front of me, but the speed of the bullets seemed to be faster than the speed of their charge.

Two hundred meters, the US military howled wildly, attacking us, while facing our bullets, raised the rifle in their hands to shoot at us. However, their gunshots obviously did not pass much, especially when playing such difficult movements of running and shooting, few shots could hit the target, but looking at their fierce and vicious appearance, they did have some power.

One hundred meters, I could clearly see the blood that splattered after being shot and the faces fell to the ground with a painful expression, but now there seems to be no force to stop them, and their fronts are still approaching us.

Fifty meters, the US military installed bayonets on its rifle, and someone took out a grenade with a grenade...

Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. So many people threw dozens of grenades on them, and we would be blown away to the point where the bones were gone. Even if a few survived, they would soon die under their bayonets!

I'm afraid it's hard to even die, but what's strange is that I'm not afraid in my heart. Only the shadow of the little girl Jin Qiulian flashed through my mind, and at the same time, I was actually glad that she was not here. At this time, I couldn't help but be shocked. Some people said that the person I thought of at the critical moment of life and death is the most important person in his heart. Could it be that the most important person in my heart is...

Gripping my teeth and getting rid of distracting thoughts, I fired the machine gun in my hand desperately, but the machine gun suddenly stopped, and I couldn't help but curse, Damn it! There were no bullets at this time!

I threw out two grenades and took this time to load a magazine for my rifle. I fired randomly at the enemy who rushed up, but the rifle could not block the crowd of the US military. Seeing that they were about to rush up with bright bayonets, several shells suddenly exploded in the US military group, which made me look bright red. Then a dense sound of gunfire came from behind the US military positions. The US military's charge quickly slowed down, and we felt as if we had put down a heavy burden and the pressure was much lessened.

Charge! Shouting!

Teams of volunteer soldiers who emerged from somewhere took advantage of the empty back of the US military and occupied the US military with thunder without any haste. Then, relying on the fortifications built by the US military, the US military was immediately beaten into chaos, and they all ran around like kites with broken strings. Everyone was only concerned about running away and no longer had the intention to fight us bravely.

"It's reinforcements!" I looked up with emotion and looked at the volunteer soldiers, recognized them as comrades in the 180th Division, and felt relieved, and a dizzy feeling made me faint on the position.

When I woke up, I found myself lying in an air-raid shelter with a cotton coat covered with a body. Next to it was a table made of shell boxes, and a volunteer soldier was looking at the map in the dim light of the kerosene lamp.

"Um!" As soon as I sat up, the severe pain from my head made me scream. The volunteer soldier quickly stood up when he heard the movement, and snatched me in two steps and helped me sit down slowly. Only then did I recognize him as Commander Pang. I guess the place where I lay was the regiment headquarters. I couldn't help but feel moved. What an honor would it be for a soldier to be able to lie in the regiment headquarters and be taken care of by the regiment commander!

"Awaken!" Captain Pang asked with concern, and then quickly ordered the guard standing at the entrance of the tunnel: "Hurry up, go and bring the porridge!"

"Yes!" The guard responded and quickly served a bowl of white porridge.

Commander Pang scooped a spoonful of them into my mouth and fed them. I was shocked by Pang Ruo and said, "Captain Pang, I will do it myself!"

"I said you boy!" Captain Pang said disagreeably: "You almost lost all your life for us. Now I take care of the wounded, and you are still competing with me!"

As he said that, he stuffed the spoon of porridge into my mouth without saying anything.

"I'm talking about Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Commander Pang said while feeding him: "Didn't you let you go for a day? You've been there for more than half a day!"

"Do you think I want it!" I swallowed the porridge greedily and said vaguely: "I am surrounded by an American and I can't leave even if I want to..."

"That's the same!" Captain Pang smiled: "Our soldiers rushed to your position and looked at the piles of American corpses. When you look at only a few of you, you really can't believe it! Only you kid can do it! You have been so badly defeated the Seventh Division in the U.S. in the past day and a half. Not to mention that their tanks have lost more than 20,000 tanks, they have also killed and injured more than 2,000 people. In addition, we stabbed the Seventh Division in the back. This time, the Seventh Division was seriously injured!"

"By the way, Captain Pang!" I remembered the bad battle after Captain Pang said this, and asked in confusion: "Where are the Americans? Have we beat us away?"

"I've been beaten away!" Captain Pang couldn't help but laugh: "You kid slept here for a day and a night, and you don't know the day!"

"What? It's been a day and a night?" I was shocked when I heard this and asked hurriedly: "Where are we here? Why haven't we retreat yet?"

"It's still in Mapingli." Hearing this, Commander Pang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The superior's order, stick to Mapingli and cover the retreat of the wounded in the rear!"

"What? Still sticking to it?" I was shocked when I heard this. I stood up from the bed as soon as I was Gulu, but the dizziness from my head quickly made me untenable.

"I said don't worry!" Seeing this, Commander Pang hurriedly helped me and sat down slowly: "You are so tired, you need to rest more! Although we are still in a situation where we are attacked from three sides, since you resisted the 7th Division of the American Division in Maping, the situation has improved. First, our army and the 179th Division have been in contact, and the two armies are only ten miles away, and they are taking care of each other. Second, we have also received some supplies in Maping, thanks to you, Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!"

"Thanks to me?" I was stunned when I heard this: "Captain Pang, I have blown up all the supplies in Maping! Some of the ammunition transported out has almost been fired..."

"There are not much ammunition left, there are two tunnels left, but few are better than nothing." Captain Pang nodded and said, "But there is a lot of food. The grain from those tunnels is buried well below the ground! Otherwise, how can you drink porridge!"

"Well, so that's how it is!" I couldn't help but feel relieved when I heard this. The 180th Division in history was surrounded. The most difficult thing was that there was no food or bullets. Because there was no food, many soldiers of the 180th Division died of poisonous wild vegetables by accident. They also made the soldiers fight on hunger, and their combat effectiveness also decreased significantly. Now it seems that at least this can be avoided.

After relaxing, my appetite improved. I snatched the bowl from Captain Pang's hand and drank it up all over the sky. I gradually felt that my hands and feet had some strength.

"Report!" At this time, a correspondent walked into the tunnel and saluted Captain Pang and said, "Captain Pang, Commander Zheng asked you to go to the division headquarters for a meeting!"

"Come soon!" Commander Pang responded, and casually put the belt buckle on the wall. He took the guards and remembered something when he was about to leave, and shouted at me: "Teacher Zheng has told me that if you wake up, go to the division headquarters. Deputy Commander Cui, come with me too!"

"Yes!" I responded and walked out after Captain Pang.

When I walked out of the tunnel, I realized that it was evening. A ray of sunset hung in the sky, making the whole world red, just like the blood splashed out when the enemy was shot...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse. This murderer has been killed a lot. Now when I see the red one, I will think of the enemies who died under my hands and the blood all over the ground. I am afraid that dreaming of killing will inevitably be inevitable in my dreams!

After walking with Captain Pang in a dizzy manner for more than ten minutes, he arrived at the division headquarters.

As soon as I entered the tunnel, I felt the atmosphere was a little different. The division commander, political commissar, as well as the commanders and political commissars of various regiments were all there. Everyone's face was covered with a layer of dark clouds and they rarely talked to each other.

"Let's tell a long story!" Wu Chengde saw that everyone was here, and immediately opened his voice: "Just received the telegram, the 2nd US Division and the 24th US Division launched an offensive against the 179th Division under the cover of aircraft and tanks with the strength of the two divisions. Since the comrades of the 179th Division were not provided with supplies like us, the battle was very difficult. In the evening, a hole had been torn open by the enemy, and the 179th Division was forced to retreat!"

With a coaxing sound, the political commissars started to talk.

"Teacher Commander, Political Commissar!" Commander Pang shouted and stood up and said, "Our army was attacked from three sides. There are the First and Seventh Divisions on the front, the Second and Seventh Divisions on the side, the Second and Seventh Divisions on the side, the Sixth Divisions on the Pseudo-Sixth Divisions and the Pseudo-Capital Divisions. Now, as soon as the 179th Division retreats, we will soon be in danger of falling into the encirclement of several enemy divisions! Retreat quickly!"

There was a silence in the tunnel. Commander Pang's words expressed the voices of the leaders and political commissars of each regiment, and of course my voice was also my voice. So everyone turned their attention to Commander Zheng and nodded for him.

Wu Chengde said to Commander Zheng in a low voice: "What Commander Pang said makes sense. Since May 23, the number of reductions in the entire division has increased day by day. In the past few days of blocking war, the casualties of all division cadres exceeded the number of casualties in our division in the civil war in two years. Each regiment had dozens of company-level cadres sacrificed... Today, when Li Quanshan, director of the Political Department of the 539th Regiment, reported to me the number of people, he said that the 539th Regiment, which had more than 3,000 people, now only more than 1,000 people are left. The troops fought bravely, but the enemy was twice as many as me, and with insufficient ammunition, I think we should get rid of this predicament as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Commander Pang immediately suggested: "It's just getting dark now, and it's a good time for us to withdraw. As long as we keep pace with the 179th Division, the problem will not be too big."

Commander Zheng stood up with a heavy face, shook his head and said, "Comrade Li Maozhao, the political commissar of the 540th Regiment, also made this suggestion to me, and took the initiative to propose that their regiment be responsible for the task of hiding the rear. I did not agree! The superior gave us a death order to cover the transfer of the wounded and blocked the enemy in Maping for two days, two days, two days! Can we withdraw before the superiors have no new order? On the battlefield, we are not the only troops fighting, and we must take the overall situation into consideration. What if our withdrawal disrupts the military's overall combat plan?"

The tunnel was so quiet that even a needle could be heard. I had the urge to rush up to tell Commander Zheng that the army did not have any comprehensive combat plan, but after thinking for a while, I could only give up. My personal safety is small, and the most important thing is that what I said was not enough to convince Commander Zheng. How could a soldier who had never seen the commander before knowing whether the army had a comprehensive combat plan?

"I order!" At this time, Commander Zheng made up his mind to raise his head and ordered the cadres: "Each department holds its own position and resolutely implements the orders of superiors. People are in the position!"

"Yes!" The leaders and political commissars responded one after another.
