Chapter 407: The Last Fight(1/2)
Chapter 407 The Last Try
Concentrate your efforts to defend the main positions and control other positions with firepower. Even if the enemy takes them away, it will only increase casualties and eventually give up.
At the same time, Wang Yang once again realized the importance of maneuverable defense in position warfare. Once Wang Yang led the sniper team to the front positions on both sides, it seemed dangerous, but it could better play the flexible maneuverability of special forces.
Besides, with Fu Rongyi and the soldiers on the highest line of defense, it is also the most difficult line of defense for the enemy to break. As long as they defend it, even if the enemy occupy other positions, it will be a target of abuse. With the cooperation of Wang Yang and the others, coupled with the artillery fire support of the artillery brother in the rear, once the counterattack is counterattack, the enemy will be dizzy.
In addition, Fu Rongyi and Wang Yang have discussed that when defending, they will use the small group of soldiers and "fueling tactics". If you come to a company, I will only be a squad; if you come to a platoon, I will only be a team. If you invest less troops, I will also win more with less. I will be very confident in supporting Wang Yang and Fu Rongyi for three hours.
Unfortunately, the battlefield will never be carried out based on people's subjective consciousness. Wang Yang and the others misjudged the enemy's determination, and did not meet Van Vreeter so desperately.
Although it seems that it is not difficult to hold on for three hours, it is extremely difficult to truly stick to it.
Because Wang Yang only started from the level of a warrior, he believed that he had seen any harsh situations in the process of defending the Shangganling position on the Korean battlefield. It would not be difficult to defend such a No. 7 and No. 10 position, let alone only three hours, which is not too difficult, right?
However, Wang Yang forgot that it was the most critical period of the Korean War. As a commander, he thought that tactical command was all right, and he also had the best battlefield judgment, and he was right.
But the mistake was that at this time, what he didn't know was that Panmunjom's judgment was at a deadlock. The US military knew that it would not have a good result if it continued like this, but they didn't know how to find a decent reason to get their troops back to their homeland. They couldn't say that the extremely powerful world-class power would actually flee back in shame because it could not defeat the volunteer army.
If you want to have a decent reason to return to the United States, then the Americans think that they must make achievements on the battlefield, so that they can negotiate with the volunteers in the face of the winner, and even force the Volunteers and the Korean People's Army to accept some unfair conditions. So before the negotiations that are about to be held, the United States Joint Session means that they can only win but not lose in the battle, no matter how much the price they pay.
Of course, what Wang Yang didn't know is that the new President Eisenhower is coming to North Korea soon. However, when the election was held, he said that everything he had to return to his hometown decently from the mud of the Korean War, so that the children would not be worried or afraid in that snowy environment. This is Eisenhower's promise to the American people. If it cannot be realized, then not to mention that Eisenhower's face is lost, even the US Army will feel that it is not good to look good.
Everyone knows this. General Clark, the commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Army", also knows that Van Vritte, who is the Eighth Army who commands the battle in Shangganling, even when Van Vritte is organizing troops to attack Shangganling, he was instructed by the United States Joint Session, that is, he asked him to fight a beautiful battle for people all over the world to see and tell all countries around the world that the Korean battlefield is still controlled by the US military.
At the same time, even senior officials of the US Joint Session told Van Vritte in hidingly that the president would go to the Korean Peninsula in person this time. If this war is not fought well, then the president's face is not good. Even if you think about the black hat on your head, you have to win this battle.
Everyone knows the reason, there is no doubt about the importance of the battle, but what makes Van Vritte extremely regretful is that from now on, he has almost completely lost this battle. Of course, the only thing he has to do is to rob the three small positions of the volunteers on the northern high ground of 537.7, but if even these three small positions are lost, then Van Vritte will be completely disgraced.
However, things happened so coincidental. Just when Van Vreet was still feeling extremely upset about some troubles, bad news really came. He was awakened from his sleep that night because a soldier came to report to him and the position was lost.
Van Vritte knew something bad when he lost his position. Logically speaking, Eisenhower was his old classmate and friend of the past, but since he became president, he still felt that the relationship between the two seemed to be much distant. However, the reason was that Van Vritte knew in his heart that it was because he had been very unfavorable in fighting on the Korean battlefield in the past year.
From Eisenhower's indifferent attitude, Van Ferrit felt a little disappointed, as if he had a premonition that his military career was about to come to an end. It was no wonder that his old classmate had just been elected, but he gave him one by one a defeat as a gift. In public and private terms, it was so meaningless. He even thought that even if he changed himself, his temperament might be even greater.
However, Van Ferrit is Van Ferrit after all, so he just admits defeat and refuses to do so.
Like all bloody soldiers, Van Ferrit also wants to fight a good battle before leaving, and leave easily - just like Li Qiwei, he was promoted or left as the "United Nations Army" is moving forward step by step. That's so easy! Even if it's a small battle, as long as there is some small progress, you can tell the story of everything without leaving the world with the embarrassment of being replaced after defeat.
Now is the opportunity. Although the position is lost, it is not impossible to regain it. At worst, he can only fight a lot of money. The volunteer army has just taken the position down. Maybe he has not even stood firm. He immediately sent a large force to fight back. He must regain it and even expand the results of the battle. This is all Van Vreett's thoughts in his mind. After this, he didn't even sleep. He immediately put on his military uniform and walked towards the headquarters.
The Lieutenant General of the Army decided to bully his life, so he showed his integrity as the Eighth Army on the Shangganling position and gave Wang Yang and the others some color.
It is conceivable that if a lieutenant general of the army is aimed at this small land and has the determination to take it down, then Wang Yang is absolutely impossible to compete with a lieutenant general of the army with his energy. Of course, he will be destroyed by extremely terrifyingly for a while.
Van Ferritt decided to make another bet. He wanted to show this student a good show before his old classmate came to the Korean battlefield and told him that I am okay, I am the best lieutenant general, and there is no reason for me to walk away from the Korean battlefield in shame!
Van Ferritt directly called General Clark, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army, and immediately expressed his determination to him and hoped to get his support.
Speaking of which, Clark is still a young man of Van Vreet. General Clark still has to give him the face of his senior. On the other hand, Clark actually sympathizes with Van Vreet. In his opinion, this senior was too lucky. Van Vreet was stuck in the Korean battlefield and came to North Korea. He encountered all the bad things. This guy was too unlucky.
Of course, at this time, Van Vritert's determination also made General Clark, the commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Army", very moved. He also wanted to use a victorious combat action to show the new president that he failed to succeed in the "Kindergarten Offensive", which did not mean that the Eighth Army was an army with poor combat capabilities. The beginning of the Battle of Shangganling may be that the children had not adapted to the style of the volunteer army. Now, as long as Van Vritert becomes serious, everything is possible, and the soldiers of the United States of America are still the most heroic.
Therefore, at Van Vertree's strong request, Clark approved the old senior's last attempt and provided him with all military material support within his ability.
Soon Van Vritte ordered the Second South Korean Division and the remnants of the Ninth South Korean Division to quickly assemble in front of the Shangganling position and conduct a tentative attack on the volunteers occupying the position. However, he led the troops of the Seventh Division of the US Army to arrive at the Shangganling front with mechanized and super-fast speed. He actually wanted to command the battle himself.
The boss actually made a speech. The 2nd Division of South Korea and the 9th Division of South Korea implemented the orders very steadily, and soon made a report based on the defense of the Volunteer Army in the No. 7 position and the No. 10 position. They believed that the platoon of the Volunteer Army was on defense on the No. 7 heights, and the Volunteer Army might have a little more, probably only one company!
Is there only such a little man? To be honest, Van Vreut looked down on the Second Division of South Korea a little bit. He was wondering how he could drive the Second Division of South Korea off the position with such a little military force?
However, Van Vritte also knew that now is not the time to hold the responsibility. Now we must reoccupy the position and settle the score with these Goryeo sticks. We must complete the battle.
But no matter what, in Van Ferrit's mind, he must have thought that the current Volunteer Army's No. 7 and No. 10 were soft persimmons.
Finally, at 6 a.m., Van Ferrit arrived at the front line of Shangganling, and as soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to launch a tentative attack first.
Take it for granted, before the position attack, the United States certainly used the old routine. To be honest, Van Vreett never believed it because he always listened to his soldiers and the South Korean troops saying that the Volunteers were all a group of troops that could not be killed or bombed. They often went on with overwhelming artillery fire. It seemed that it was impossible for the Volunteers to leave any creatures on the Volunteers' positions, but once the war began, these Volunteers would be elusive and came out again.
After hearing these words, Van Vreet always felt like listening to myths of the East. Because judging from all the wars he had fought since the First World War, these things were incredible, so he also came to the front line to see for himself. After all, it is very likely that if this battle has no achievements, then he might have to return to his own country. Even if he is about to fail and leave, he must see what kind of people drove him away?
Needless to say, with Van Vreet having this kind of mind, their artillery forces must cooperate well. It is conceivable that since Van Vreet was in front of the battlefield, the US artillery forces would undoubtedly have to buy more power. The two palm-sized hills were immediately affected and they simply plowed the artillery fire.
According to later descriptions in the combat history of the US military, during the battle on the northern highlands of 537.7 on the last day of the last day, the US military dropped 224,000 pounds of bombs, 8 boxes of napalm, supported cannons, tanks, heavy mortars and machine guns, and rifles also fired 1,500,000 shells and bullets on this hill.
This is undoubtedly a set of unimaginable astronomical figures, but we can tell from the fact that Wang Yang and the others on the mountain will face another blow.
Anyway, when the enemy's extremely dense artillery fire fell on the No. 7 and No. 10 position, in the night, in countless sparks, there seemed to be a magnitude 7 and No. 10 position, and the entire mountain seemed to be about to shatter. At the same time, when the terrifying napalm bomb was dropped by the plane on both positions, coupled with the smoke and dust raised by the enemy's artillery shells on the position, it made people feel that there seemed to be a terrifying volcanic eruption on the northern high ground of 537.7 in Shangganling, which is called hell on earth.
Immediately afterwards, Van Vreet waved his hand and the American group of cannons immediately began to extend. Under the cover of positions No. 7 and No. 10, nearly 400 infantrymen rushed to the top of the mountain with a loud noise.
The first thing that launched an attack on the No. 7 position and No. 10 position was the second reinforced company of the 31st Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division, and part of the Second Division of the South Korean Division also had about two companies of troops. Fengfeng rushed towards the volunteers guarding the positions.
Speaking of the 7th Infantry Division, it was a miserable life. They were just beaten by Wang Yang and the others on the 597.9 high ground. The soldiers suffered heavy losses. After withdrawing, they had just recovered some vitality. After changing their positions, they fought again. Although they were not as strong as those in the "Triangle Mountain", they still seemed quite imposing when they were under the cover of artillery fire and planes.
The above had already told them that the CCP army in this highland was newly captured, and they had not stood firm, there were few people, and there was not enough firepower. Without any attack, the credit was right in front of them. After the battle was completed, General Van Varret watched it here himself, and he would be very happy to award them a medal.
Sure enough, the soldiers of the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army were brave enough to strode towards the No. 7 position. Judging from the current situation, things were the same as what their superiors said. There may be no volunteers on the position, and even if there were volunteers, they might have been almost hit by the artillery fire and gasoline bombs just now. I didn’t see that the No. 7 position was still burning with flames, and it was scorched earth. How could there be living people on the position under such circumstances?
The American soldiers were very proud. It seemed that they had a good thing and finally encountered a weak Chinese army. Yes, the people above have been wiped out, and victory will definitely be theirs.
Dada, the gunshots sounded, and the American soldiers had to be shocked. Could it be that the volunteers on the position jumped out again? They subconsciously were afraid of being beaten and lay on the ground. But after lying on the ground for a while, they found that there seemed to be no bullets flying towards them. They raised their heads depressedly, and only then did they realize that the American soldiers on the neighboring position, the South Korean soldiers and the Communist troops on the No. 10 position had already fought.
Well, this is understandable. You should know that there is a company's troops on the No. 10 position and the Volunteer Army cannot kill them. Even if the artillery fire is strong, there will always be a few people left, so of course there will be resistance.
But what about the No. 7 position in front of them?
After hearing the tentative attack report of the Second Division of South Korea, the American soldiers were only platoon of troops garrisoned here, so it was necessary to fight a lot. At this point, these American soldiers and the soldiers of the Second Division of South Korea were excited and began to rush towards the position one by one, for fear that the credit would be taken away by the local area in a while, which would be more than worth the loss.
Unfortunately, the American soldiers and the soldiers of the Second South Korean Division will be in trouble in a while. You should know that the Second South Korean Division was deceived by Wang Yang and others.
Wang Yang and his team did not release a few people on the first- and second-tier positions. When they started to compete with the Second Division of the Cai and North Korea, they sent less than ten people to intercept for a while. After killing some of the enemies, they took the initiative to retreat. Of course, this created an illusion for the enemy, which means that there were not many people on this position.
But are there really not many people? There are still seventy or eighty volunteer veterans hiding in the tunnel of the highest third line of defense, but now there are really no one who is guarding the surface of the position.
The American soldiers climbed up, but the soldiers did not shoot, but just gritted their teeth and stared at these guys who were about to die. The shells and gasoline bombs dropped by the enemy still had some impact on the soldiers. At least some soldiers were burned with fire, smoke was still coming out of their military uniforms, and even their faces were full of tar. However, the soldiers didn't care about this. They were waiting for Fu Rongyi's order and were ready to attack the enemy at any time.
What the American soldiers even more did not know was that the soldiers had put their guns in the trenches, and now each of them was aiming at an enemy. Once Fu Rongyi initiated an attack order, then many of their first bullets would probably shoot an enemy.
The poor American soldiers didn't know all this. They excitedly climbed to the front front of the No. 7 position. While climbing, the American soldiers were cautious. They were afraid that the volunteers would shoot from there. However, after waiting for a long time and careful for a long time, there were no bullets coming. They actually climbed onto the front front position without bloodshed and occupied part of the position.
This incident made the American soldiers even more excited. They were thinking at this moment that either the Volunteers gave up this position, or the Volunteers were all eliminated by the artillery shells and gasoline bombs. They might as long as they walked through this position, then the No. 7 position would be occupied, and they just had to launch an attack on the next target No. 8 position.
When we think of this result, it goes without saying that the US soldiers and the troops of the Second South Korean Division are competing. You should know who wants to be the first to plant their military flag into the main position of the No. 7 position, then the credit will be the ones. It depends on who is quick to deal with it and who makes no volunteers on this position?
So, the South Korean soldiers and American infantry on the entire No. 7 position began to rush towards the main position like ducks. They had been defeated for so long, whether it was the US army or the South Korean army, they needed a victory to boost morale.
After rushing through the front line of defense, there was no volunteer army, but after rushing through the second trench dug by the volunteer army, there was still no volunteer army?
Faced with such a situation, the American soldiers and the South Korean troops felt that they had a good judgment, so they ran even more happily, as if there was a treasure waiting for them at the peak of the No. 7 position.
Yes, there is a treasure on the position, and it is a group of passionate people. The most lovely people of China are waiting for them on the position, ready to give them a fatal blow at any time.
The person who commanded the first echelon to the position was Fu Rongyi. He led all the soldiers of the 92nd Regiment, and a considerable number of students from the sniper training camp. Speaking of which, the students from the sniper training camp were very excited. The early battles of Shangganling were not as good as them, and they were still training in the rear at that time.
But later, because the 45th Division of the 15th Army was too short of manpower, Qin Jiwei used them in a hurry. But what they didn't expect was that when they arrived on the position, they suffered a big loss and were driven into the tunnel by the soldiers of the Second Division of South Korea. This made them feel extremely embarrassing. They didn't even see the American devils, and they almost met Marx.
Then you say, when these little tigers see the American devils, how strong is the desire to fight. All the soldiers are holding up their energy to show the spirit of fighting liberation in China to the American young soldiers!
"The enemy is coming! Get ready to attack!"
Fu Rongyi's voice sounded in the position in a low voice. At this time, the enemy below was getting closer and closer. The soldiers even heard the crackling sound of the American devils' military leather boots pressing on the ground. The enemy was right in front of him, and he could almost hit it with one shot. However, the soldiers were aiming fiercely. Every soldier was thinking that this first shot could not be relaxed, and at least one American devil would have to go to the west.
"Shoot! Eliminate all enemies!"
A slammed gunshot, and then a loud roar was heard as Fu Rongyi's gunshots rang out. An American soldier who had just raised his head and felt a little tired after climbing up for a while and wanted to wipe his sweat a little suddenly felt the threat. He subconsciously looked at the position, but he happened to see Fu Rongyi's gun at one end, and then a bullet came like an arrow. He didn't even have time to hum, and the bullet penetrated through his forehead! He walked into the gate of hell in disbelief.
"Kill!"
"Foreign devils! Come on with your life!"
"Avenge the sacrificed soldiers!"
"Hold the position at all costs and eliminate the enemies rushing to the position!"
As soon as the gunshot sounded, the entire hill became lively. Crackly, a hail-style grenade, grenade, and blasting tube flew out and hit the American soldiers' heads. In an instant, the crisp explosion sounded one after another. After a while, the submachine guns staring at the machine guns looking for people turned into a whole lot.
The positions were filled with excitement roars of volunteer soldiers, and the soldiers' suppressed anger was finally vented. They just wished they could hold two guns in one hand so that they could destroy the enemies below faster and more quickly. Bullets roared and each time they took the life of an enemy, they felt a more fulfilling feeling, as if they were comforting the heroic spirits for the soldiers who died in the tunnel.
"Communist Army, Communist Army! There are Communist Army here, many Communist Army!"
"Oh my goodness, so many grenades!"
"John, run away! If you don't retreat, you will die!"
It was too sudden and too shocking. At least once the volunteers launched a fierce attack, the momentum and astonishing attack power surprised the American soldiers and South Korean soldiers.
They thought there was no one on the No. 7 position, but they didn't see each other. Once they approached the main peak position, they faced extremely fierce attacks from the volunteers. The huge firepower immediately gave the soldiers in the front rows no chance to escape. They could only roll down to the bottom of the position miserably. They originally wanted to make contributions, so they rushed to the front, but they didn't make contributions, and they were the first ones who died.
"Hold on, hold on!"
"Damn it, you all lie down and fight back at the volunteers!"
"Get me on! Fight back, you bastards!"
At this time, it was the grassroots officers in the US and South Korean troops who played a role. After all, these guys had experienced some wars. They were different from the new soldiers who were newly added to the Second Division of the South Korean Army and the Seventh Infantry Division. They were the courage of the troops and the minds of the troops.
Because they have been leading troops in the army for a long time, these US and South Korean soldiers who are afraid of death have been under their tyranny for a long time. At this time, he asked all of these soldiers to lie down and launch a counterattack at the volunteers, which is very effective. This makes the enemy's somewhat chaotic scene seem to be a little calming. It seems that the enemy has not given up yet.
Bang bang bang bang!
However, at this time, a few particularly strange sounds came from the rain of bullets. The sound of gunfire had a strange rhythm, one shot at a time, but it seemed that every sound could sound into other people's hearts.
If the gunshot is heard by old soldiers on the battlefield or those who have received special training, then you will know that it is a sniper fighting at first.
To be continued...
