Chapter 105: 2 Platoon Leaders
Chapter 105: 2 platoons
"Run!" With Zhang Jifa's order, ten soldiers rushed towards the first firepower point that had just been blown up with various weapons and explosives.
This is the commando we organized before the attack. Once the blasting team blows up a fire point, soldiers need to occupy these fire points as fast as possible. Otherwise, once the enemy counterattacks and reoccups the fire point, the success of the blasting team will lose its meaning.
The number of commandos cannot be too small, because while repelling the enemy's counterattack, they also serve as the task of expanding the results of the battle to cover the blasting team to continue to blast other firepower points. If there are fewer people, the task will not be able to complete the task smoothly. The number of commandos cannot be large, and the firepower points are so large. If all of our platoons rushed up, the enemy only needs to fire a few shots or drop a few grenades at us, which can cause us to suffer heavy casualties.
So before the war, the soldiers divided the entire platoon into four commandos. Once the blasting team exploded a fire point, the commandos must seize the fire point as quickly as possible and organize defense and cover.
Seeing the soldiers rushing towards the enemy's firepower point with the smoke from the grenade explosion, I also grabbed the rifle and wanted to follow, but Zhang Jifa held it down.
"It's too dangerous, Chief of Staff!" Zhang Jifa pressed me back without saying anything, and said, "Don't worry, Chief of Staff, this commando is led by the second platoon leader, and there will be no mistakes if he commands it on it!"
"Um!" I couldn't help but feel a little angry when Zhang Jifa stopped him.
Speaking of which, since the start of the counterattack, I, a sniper, have not had a chance to take action except for killing four US troops at the beginning. I was about to go up and play a role, but I was stopped by him. Looking at the frontier positions, the smoke produced by the grenades had gradually dissipated, and the enemy fired a flare in time. Now I have missed the opportunity to rush forward, so I had to give up.
It makes sense that Zhang Jifa sent out an assault team including a platoon leader as soon as he came up. For the four firepower points in front of him, whether we can successfully occupy the first firepower point and block the enemy's counterattack is directly related to whether we can insert into the enemy's position and gain a foothold. Once we stand firm at the first firepower point, it will be relatively easier to seize the other three firepower points under the cover of this firepower point. Therefore, the first assault team sent is the strongest, and the equipment is also the best.
Isn't this? Each of them held either a machine gun or a submachine gun. As soon as they rushed into the fire point, they shot the weapons in their hands and successfully suppressed the enemy's last two firepower castles.
"Blasting team!" I shouted: "Target second firepower point!"
"Yes!" As soon as he finished speaking, another three-person blasting team rushed up.
I know very well that the enemy will definitely send a counterattack.
On the battlefield, the places where the enemy and our sides must fight are often the same, because the reason why important positions are important to our army is either the soft threat of our army or the soft threat of the enemy. No matter which one is, it is also important to the enemy.
Just like now, the first firepower point can be used as a support for our army to attack other positions of the enemy, so the enemy certainly does not allow us to occupy it. To completely prevent the enemy from launching a counterattack, it is necessary to quickly eliminate all the other three firepower points, so that the enemy has no support and make them lose cover.
What we are comparing now is who can drive the other party out of the position faster!
The first fire point attracted most of the enemy's firepower, which made the blasting team advance very quickly. The three soldiers trotted on the soft slope for a while, and soon approached the second firepower point. Seeing that the soldiers were about to throw anti-tank grenades, the dark position suddenly turned into a fiery red...
It's a flamethrower!
Fires were burning on the already charred and soft land, and all around turned into fiery red. Even the light emitted by the flares in the sky became so faint and dim under the thick smoke and fire.
The firelight drew an arc in front of the position with the second fire point as the center of the circle. The three soldiers who were rushing towards the second fire point were instantly surrounded by the fire.
A shrill scream suddenly rang.
No, not right!
Rather than screaming, it was a roar, because all the three soldiers continued to rush forward without exception, and the first explosion hand holding anti-tank grenades was even making bomb drops. But unfortunately, the US military machine gunners quickly discovered them in the flames. With a clattering sound, the three soldiers' roars stopped abruptly, and the three heroes fell unwillingly into the raging fire.
Seeing this, I couldn't help it anymore, so I grabbed the rifle and jumped up from the ground and ran towards the first fire point.
"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff..." Zhang Jifa's scream sounded behind him, but I ignored it at all and still hugged and changed the route toward the target.
Mortar shells kept exploding beside me, bullets and shrapnel whistling in my ears, and the earth and rocks raised by the shells hit me, face and eyes, almost making me unable to see the road ahead. But I knew I couldn't stop. More than a year of combat experience told me that as soon as I stopped, I might be hit by these bullets into sieves and bombed by the shells into several pieces.
So I forced myself to open my eyes that were so rubbed by the sand and stones that I burst into tears, and ran towards the first fire point without stopping.
其实,这一刻当我跑出来的时候,我并没有抱着多大的希望能到达第一火力点,毕竟在我面前的这些子弹和炮弹就像是铺开的一张网,随便哪一颗打中我都能要了我的小命.不过也许是因为阵地前的火焰吸引了敌人的目光,强光之后反而让他们暂时看不见火堆后的我,这才让我无惊无险的一路跑到第一火力点前.
As soon as I saw that I had reached my destination, I didn't dare to neglect it. I turned over and jumped in. But as I jumped in, suddenly a few black things were thrown in...
Grenade!
I didn't think about it and just turned over and jumped out.
Almost the moment I landed, a few roars came from beside me, and a piece of dust rose into the air and hit my back like raindrops.
My heart couldn't help but sank. It's over, and the soldiers guarding the first firepower point are all finished...
But the battlefield was not as good as I thought about it. I understood that the reason why there were enemy grenades here was because the enemy had rushed to the vicinity and would soon charge at the first fire point next to me. So I immediately pulled out two grenades, and once I pulled the string, I threw them in the direction of the enemy.
With two dull sounds of "boom", a scream came from the darkness.
Before I could wait for the explosion to completely fade, I turned over and came to the fire point piled up with sandbags. I was sure to see an American m1919 machine gun in front of me, and I almost pulled the trigger without thinking.
"Dadada..." With a vibration from my shoulders, bullet shells jumped happily in front of me, and bullets shot quickly towards the position in front of me with red lines of fire.
Looking along the bullet's direction, I saw the enemy in front of me. What a big guy, I squeezed a large area around me in black. Maybe they didn't expect that there would be living people in this fire point in this situation. They were charging in groups, but now I swept it like this and immediately fell down a large area.
But there were too many enemies, and they were siege from all directions. They looked everywhere in the smoke. Wherever my machine gun swept, they lay all over the ground. As soon as the machine gun passed, they got up and rushed up, making me keep turning the machine gun and changing the shooting direction. Not only did I scatter the bullets, but the accuracy was not high, but I had no other way, because all directions needed to be suppressed. If there were few bullets in any direction, the enemy would soon rush up and shoot me to death. But even so, the enemy was still getting closer and closer to me, which made me unable to help but feel that I was willing but not strong enough.
The enemy slowly approached me like a tide. As I was approaching the position of throwing grenades, I couldn't help but feel anxious and thought that this firepower point would not be saved. I made up my mind when I saw someone touching the grenade, and I turned around and ran away...
But just when I was about to give up, a loud bang suddenly broke out in the enemy's position, and then another machine gun sounded next to me. I stole the air and looked at the corner of my eyes, hey! There was another living person, but he was covered in blood, and now he was fucking a machine gun and sweeping at the enemy!
This warrior shared half of the sky with me, and his firepower suddenly increased, and in an instant, the enemy could no longer move forward. With screams, the enemies fell one after another in front of us, and we also dropped one or two grenades from time to time. After a while, the enemy retreated like a tide.
"Good fight! Comrade..." After the enemy retreated, I slapped the warrior beside me, but I heard a terrible hum. Where my palm touched, I also felt his body trembling.
"Are you injured?" I quickly lowered my head to check. In the trance of the fire, I looked at the soldier for a moment, and couldn't help but be shocked: his lower half of his body was covered with blood, his right knee was exposed, his calves were broken, and only a layer of skin was connected; half of the muscles on his left thigh were peeled off, and white bones were also exposed. The place where he was lying was covered with sticky blood, and the blood and soft soil were mixed together, condensed into pieces, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose...
"Yes... it's the Chief of Staff!" The soldier recognized me at this time and couldn't help but scream in a trembling voice.
"Well! It's the second platoon leader!" I finally recognized the bloody warrior in front of me as the platoon leader who came up with this commando.
"You are seriously injured, I'll carry you back!" After saying that, I reached out and picked up the second platoon leader, but he refused.
"Shen... Chief of Staff!" The second platoon leader insisted tenaciously, showed a smile with difficulty, and said calmly as if nothing had happened: "I'm fine, I'm just scratching a little bit, don't worry about me! Shen... Chief of Staff, the enemy will soon launch a counterattack again. Our troops are being pushed back by the enemy's firepower and cannot come, and the time for artillery attack is approaching. We must blow up the enemy's firepower as soon as possible. Shen... Chief of Staff, you go and blow up, I'll cover..."
"You...how can you behave like this..." Looking at the second platoon leader's painful face and his lips were trembling, a feeling of unbearability arose.
"I can do it!" As if he wanted to prove it to me, the second platoon leader immediately knelt on his knees, which had been covered in blood, held the machine guns in the trench, and almost said to me with an orderly breath: "Hurry... go quickly! If you are late, you won't be anxious!"
"Yeah!" Looking at the second platoon leader, I couldn't bear to argue with him anymore, so I had to touch two anti-tank grenades on the ground. After thinking about it, I found a few grenades and some machine gun magazines for the second platoon leader, and then jumped out of the trenches and crawled towards the enemy's firepower point.
The second and third firepower points of the enemy are right in front of me. I took some thought before jumping out of the trench. I jumped out from the opposite direction and climbed around the trench before facing the enemy's firepower points. So the enemy in the second and third trench did not find me in the dark.
I lay in the soil and observed for a while, and found that the second and third fire points were almost in a straight line in front of me. As soon as I gritted my teeth, I crawled towards the middle of the two fire points.
As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger, I either don’t play, but if I want to play, I will play with you. Once I can insert into the middle of the second and third fire points without the enemy being aware of it, and then throw the two anti-tank grenades in my hand, one left and one right... Then I will make a lot of money!
But the risk of my doing so is undoubtedly several times higher. Because the anti-tank grenade is very heavy, the distance I can throw is not far, so I have to climb to a very close distance to realize my great ideal. Second, the US military at the third firepower point only needs to find me, and then spray the flamethrower forward like before...
Thinking about the miserable situation of the soldiers who died under the fire just now, my speed couldn't help but slow down. But when I thought of the second platoon leader dragging his broken legs to stare at me from behind, I felt uncomfortable as if someone was poking his spine, and I couldn't help but speed up again.
Damn it! Just die!
There are not too many life and death on this battlefield. Adding my life is just adding 1 to the last number.
Thinking of me, I gritted my teeth and held the two anti-tank grenades in my hand and climbed up without hesitation. At this moment, it suddenly seemed like a storm blew in front of me, and rows of bullets hit me and made a sound of "floating". The broken soil, stones, and tree roots jumped up and flew in front of me, and the ground suddenly seemed like a pot of boiling water.
I thought to myself that something was wrong, and I knew in my heart that the enemy's machine gunner discovered me. Fortunately, there were bumpy bullet craters everywhere on the battlefield, so I quickly overturned and rolled into a bullet crater next to me.
But after waiting for a while, he could not see the enemy's machine gun's shooting point, so he couldn't help but be anxious and worried.
What I'm worried about is that the more time goes, the more unfavorable it will be for our army. What I'm worried about is that if the enemy throws a few grenades or fires a few mortars at me...
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly poke my head out, and fortunately! In this dark night, I could clearly see the ballistics of the bullets shot out. The bullets shot out of the second and third fire points were not towards me, and only the fourth fire point spit out a string of fireballs and headed straight for my position.
This shows that the enemies at the second and third firepower points have not discovered me yet. I don’t have to worry about them dropping grenades at me for the time being, which also means I still have a chance to succeed. But the bullets fired from the damn fourth firepower points were tied up like fuse ropes that made me unable to move.
Just as I was cursing myself, I shouted behind me and shot a string of bullets at the fourth fire point, and the enemy's shooting began to shift.
No need to think that these bullets must have been fired by the second platoon leader. I looked at the darkness behind uneasy, but I could not see anything except a bullet with sparks.
The battlefield did not allow me to hesitate, so I immediately climbed out of the crater and crawled towards the second and third firepower points again. This time it went smoothly. The enemy at the second and third firepower points focused all his attention on the troops behind our army, and did not notice me at all. The firepower at the fourth firepower point was also attracted by the second platoon leader. So not long after, I got closer to a place only ten meters away from the enemy's firepower point.
The reason I had to climb so close is that this anti-tank grenade weighs more than two pounds, and I still dropped it from bottom to top. I was really not sure to throw it up if I was not close. In addition, I only had two anti-tank grenades on my hand, so I didn't dare to be careless at all.
At this time, I didn't care that the killing radius of the anti-tank grenade was twenty meters, and I had no time to dodge, and I just thought that I could blow these two fire points and even if I had to fight for my life, it would be worth it. So I immediately pulled the grenade's insurance pin and threw it out one left and one right...
"Boom boom!"
I felt a shock under my belly. With two balls of fire and two explosions, I was like a gourd, and rolled down the mountain by the shock wave.
Just as I was so shocked that I rolled down in a daze, I had just been hung by a tree root and stabilized my body. I was shocked to see a group of US troops rushing towards the first fire point. The second platoon leader was firing the machine gun and sweeping the bullets violently towards the enemy.
I wanted to go for reinforcements, but I didn't have the strength to watch the Americans get closer and closer, and finally pounced on like a nest of ants...
Then a shocking explosion suddenly came from the first fire point, and a ball of flames several meters high rose in front of me, as well as the corpses of the US military that were thrown around.
Chapter completed!
