Chapter 487: Offensive and Defensive Peak Position

As dawn begins to appear, the morning glow is as bright as the bright sunshine, the Korean Peninsula, which was extremely dark in the past, will become brighter.

Like a sharp sword supporting the sky, there are still traces left by fierce battles, but at this moment it is already quiet. The arrival of the morning makes the coniferous mountains, which were baptized by the war last night, seem to be full of vitality again. There are even birds singing on the peaks and pheasants crowing lightly.

However, even in such a peaceful morning and facing the vitality of the peaks, the South Korean soldiers who were rushing towards the tide still stopped their pace of progress here.

What kind of defeated soldiers are these?

This is a group of troops that were said to be invincible by the old men of the Seoul Presidential Palace, saying that they can deal with the most powerful enemies in the world, but at this time they really saw it, which made people think that such words were a huge irony.

The formation that was extremely chaotic, the faces of each officer and soldier showed strong anxiety. Their eyes were full of fear, their faces were covered with smoke, and their military uniforms were even tattered, blood, soil, and even green grass and green leaves that were forcibly carried in the woods. Few soldiers were carrying full arms on their bodies. Many soldiers who were extremely panicked even threw away their weapons in order to escape. They were like a group of children who had just suffered a car accident, and were extremely panicked.

Such an army, such a group of people, looks like the South Korean refugees who appeared in the Fourth Volunteer Counterattack. Now they just want to rush across Jianfeng Ridge immediately and return to their rear. They can escape as far as they can. Return to Seoul and flee to the south coast. At this time, even if someone asks them to escape to Japan Island, these guys will agree without hesitation.

But in fact? When they arrived at Jianfeng Ridge, they couldn't help but stop.

It’s not that they don’t want to walk or escape, it’s because on the only Wennan Highway passing through Jianfeng Ridge, there was a silent Xiao Sha suppressing their spirit, like a surviving animal, and they instinctively stopped.

The only passage under Jianfeng Ridge is the Wennan Highway that passes directly under their peak. At this time, the road was blocked tightly. Two black smoke above the highway rolled up, and there were flames soaring into the sky below. Two military vehicles and a tank were burning violently, blocking the road tightly.

No one didn't want to go there, but seeing the burned military vehicle and the burned red tank, these South Korean soldiers showed fear on their faces. It was obvious that the two military vehicles and tanks were burned in the middle of the road for no reason. Their purpose was to block their escape route and put them in a desperate situation of death.

It is not that if these South Korean soldiers wanted to pass through Jianfengling, they had to escape from Wennan Highway. If these guys really wanted to escape and were desperate, they could also escape on foot from the two congshan hills in Jianfengling. But it is completely imagined that once they walked in the dense forests and congshan, their troops would lose their organizationality and coordination and would become a large group of dispersed and fled.

This is a taboo for military families. Unless they believe that they will definitely be wiped out, no commander dares to make this decision. The 180th Division, which broke through the Han River, made this mistake. When they chose the plan to diversify the breakout, the scattered soldiers formed little threats in front of the enemy with absolute advantage, and finally had to be defeated one by one, leading to a great tragedy on the Korean battlefield. The 180th Division was wiped out, and then the alive soldiers faced the examination that they could not finish in their lifetime, and had a shameful military journey on their heads.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the South Korean Capital Division are in a very similar situation to the fate of the 180th Division back then. On the front line, they were defeated by the Volunteer Army attacks several times more than the firepower and offensives. However, when they reached Jianfeng Ridge, the greatest fear appeared again. Looking at the strange and quiet scene in front of them, and the flames burning on the Wennan Highway, their only way of retreat was very likely to have fallen into the hands of the Volunteer Army.

The bustling defeated soldiers were in chaos, and the long convoy squeezed the entire Wennan Highway out of traffic. A large number of defeated soldiers could not stand on the road, crowding the sides of the road. Fortunately, although the United States no longer helped the South Korean troops attack, their air escort was still there, and several American aircraft flying in the sky effectively protected them. Otherwise, as long as one or two volunteer bombers passed by at this time, these South Korean defeated soldiers would inevitably face a catastrophe.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally the defeated troops of South Korea gathered to a certain extent. Perhaps their commander had already arrived. The South Korean soldiers in front of them finally got a little excited. The South Korean soldiers who climbed onto the military vehicle were forced to jump off the military vehicle that they had finally climbed up under the command of the commander. Their crowd began to gather in sections. It seemed that after the mobilization of the officers, their eyes began to gather between the Wennan Highway and Jianfengling. The awareness of survival made them know that they would not be able to survive without opening up this road.

However, if they want to survive, they not only have to face the attack that may come from Jianfeng Ridge, but also have to face the attack of large volunteer troops from the rear that were overwhelmingly coming from the sea. Therefore, when looking down at the high altitude, it can be clearly seen that some of the troops of the South Korean Capital Division were ordered to advance backwards and reassemble on the positions about ten kilometers from Jianfeng Ridge to defend themselves to block the attack of the volunteer troops from the rear.

At the same time, most of their fleeing soldiers began to mobilize under Jianfeng Ridge, staring at Jianfeng Ridge's positions, and they were very desperate.

First, the South Korean troops were stepping towards the Wennan Highway. There was no sign of volunteers appearing on Jianfeng Ridge. Because Jianfeng Ridge was too quiet, it was even depressing. However, these South Korean soldiers seemed to be careful enough. They moved to the burning military vehicles and tanks very vigilantly. Following them was a tank with good combat effectiveness during the escape process. Their intention was very clear, that is, if there was no blocking from the volunteers here, they would use tanks to push the two military vehicles and the burned tanks away, and then let the troops behind escape from here on a large scale.

Of course, in addition to these, the cunning South Korean troops also sent two companies to penetrate the positions of Jianfengling on both sides of the road. Although Jianfengling was too quiet and there was no news about the situation of volunteers there, there was no news about this place where military strategists were fighting for, and the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment of the Capital Division, and these South Korean officers still showed enough vigilance.

The officers and soldiers of South Korea advanced carefully, and the defeated soldiers gathered behind watched the advance of the three troops with great desire. This was undoubtedly a very difficult time, because these three forward troops might have to decide whether they survive or not. The instinct of survival made these officers and soldiers of South Korea full of hope for their actions.

A South Korean troops with a reinforced platoon spread out on the road and approached the target carefully. Of course, they not only had to be careful of the burning military vehicles in front, but also had to be careful of the volunteers on the Jifeng Ridge attacking them. To put it nicely, they were looking for a route to escape for the South Korean troops behind them. But to put it nicely, they were just cannon fodder. If there was an ambush from the volunteers here, then they would definitely end up miserably.

In fact, the situation made these South Korean troops feel joy, because when they slowly approached the burning car, even though the South Korean troops on both sides had already begun to rush to Jianfeng Ridge, no one still launched an attack on them.

Could it be that there are no volunteer troops here, and the burning cars are just harassment operations carried out by small forces of the volunteer troops?

Thinking of this, the South Korean soldiers couldn't help but show joy on their faces. When their distance was only twenty meters away from the burning military vehicle, when the heat emitted there had already made their faces red, the South Korean soldiers couldn't help but relax. The current officer also made a safe gesture to the tank behind, signaling the tanks behind to go up quickly and push the two military vehicles and the burning tank away.

Everyone wants to escape, and everyone knows that although there is a last position behind to defend, everyone knows that in the face of the unstoppable offensive of the volunteer army, the last position must not last long. So when the passage of advance was opened one minute earlier, the number of people would have more hope of survival. Almost after seeing the South Korean officer making a gesture, the tank rumbled and increased its momentum to advance and approached the burning military vehicle at a very fast speed.

The burning flames were filled with a strange red light, and the iron sheets of military vehicles and tanks were even burned. People dared not approach them under such flames, but for tanks, they did not care very much about their thick skin and rough flesh. He would not care about this flame. On the Korean battlefield, the only thing tanks fear most was anti-tank weapons, such as rockets, anti-tank guns, and anti-tank mines.

When the tanks approached step by step, Gao Xiaodong and the soldiers had occupied the place long ago. Of course, the tank would not succeed so easily. Rockets and anti-tank guns did not appear, but anti-tank mines were buried a lot. Only a loud bang was heard. In the horrific eyes of the officers and soldiers of the South Korean Capital Division, the huge explosion was like a thunder from the sky blew in their hearts.

The tank that was originally excited about it suddenly shook, and the first half of the iron shell was lifted about thirty centimeters high. Then a flame rushed from the inside of the tank. Immediately, I saw the tower cover on the top of the tank being opened, and a flame burst out from it...

No! That's not flame, that's one person!

The tank is surrounded by heavy iron armor. Many people think that it will be safe on the battlefield as long as they hide in the tank. In fact, this is just a fact, but once the tank is attacked by weapons specifically dealing with the tank, the actual result will be completely different.

For example, the Soviet-made anti-tank mine in front of him. Once the tank is hit by him, the mine's attack may not be enough to completely blow up the tank, but don't forget its terrifying shock force. After all, people are mortal tires, and people look safe when wrapped in iron, but there is no safety in the face of such a huge shock force, let alone once the power of the explosion generates huge heat energy and ignites the tank's fuel tank, and then the gunpowder in the tank explodes, the members in the tank will be completely covered.

It can be said that it is not to think that infantry during positional battles are very dangerous, but in fact, once they suffer a fatal attack, the crew in the tank is actually the worst death. Under this huge shock power, the tank driver is often the worst one. The place where he drives the tank may be far away from the main fuel tank, and it may not burn him. However, with the huge shock force and the huge impact of the iron wall, he will die in a bloody head, and at worst, it will turn into a ball of meat, which will be terrible.

In such a critical situation, the most likely chance of survival would be the captain inside the tank. After all, his position is below the top cover of the tower. Once the tank is subjected to a fierce attack and if he can move, opening the tower cover to escape is the best result. But he also has a fatal reason, that is, his position is very close to the main fuel tank of the tank. Once a huge explosion occurs at the bottom of the tank, the main fuel tank of the tank will be destroyed, and it is very likely that the tank oil will splash on him. At this time, as long as there is a little flame, he will be extremely snatched.

This is the scene in front of me. The huge threat to the tank by Soviet anti-tank mines can be imagined. Moreover, from the explosion situation, the tank quickly drove over and detonated more than one anti-tank mine, but two anti-tank mines almost exploded one after another. Therefore, the members of the tank were immediately killed and injured. Even though the captain escaped, he screamed and even rolled on the ground consciously, which would be a dead end.

What is even more panicking is that no one dares to save him at this time. The only way to save him is to use a fire extinguisher to help him put out the fire. Don’t play it like in TV and movies. In order to save people, you can bravely take off your clothes and rush to his side, use them to extinguish the fire on his body. If you do this, it is very likely that you will be jealous.

Because when a person is burned by flames, the huge pain is enough to make you lose your mind. Once someone rushes to you to help you extinguish the flames, then when a person is involuntarily, he will subconsciously seek help from others.

What would happen? As long as many people who are burned all over their bodies can target, they will be like people drowned in the water, and they will not let go of anything they catch. They will hold you tightly until he dies. In this case, when he holds you with flames, you will of course be silent.

So when the tank van escaped from the car with flames and screamed wildly, none of the South Korean soldiers watching on the side dared to go up. They were all stunned by the scene in front of them. Looking at the burning people and another loud noise, the tanks that exploded from the inside and began to burn, not only did they dare not move forward, but instead began to retreat backward in horror.

The matter is very obvious. It is not that there are no volunteers here. What is more likely is that these volunteers have set several traps for them here that are fatal. Not only did their tanks not disassemble the obstacles in front of them, they also fell into it, blocking the Wennan Highway even more strongly.

Of course, this is not the most deadly. When their tanks exploded and their eyes were all attracted, they were ambushed on Jianfeng Ridge, and the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade and the reconnaissance company in all directions began to move.

First of all, the unlucky one was that the South Korean troops of the two companies attacking on both sides of Jianfengling, let them go up the mountain and infiltrate the positions. However, this did not mean that they occupied the positions. What were the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade and the Reconnaissance Company? These were all veterans with long-standing battle experience.

They are not like ordinary troops fighting position defense, guarding the positions tightly to prevent the enemy from coming up. The fierce fighting consciousness makes them dare to take the initiative to put the enemy on the positions, while they are lurking in favorable hidden positions on various positions and on the peaks. If necessary, they will launch a deadly offensive against the enemy entering the positions.

The first shot was Director Gao Da. He became the combat director of the corps and had not been on the battlefield for a long time, but Gao Xiaodong's sniping ability did not retreat. With the first shot alone, he killed an enemy lieutenant who rushed to Jianfengling on the right. His precise shooting technique suddenly pierced the enemy's neck, and the bullet almost unloaded his head. The poor South Korean lieutenant turned into a corpse without even having time to scream.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of gunfire sounded from all directions, and the two South Korean companies that rushed to Jianfengling were extremely sad and desperate.

Why do you say that? You must know that they were put on the voluntary list by the Xiaolong Special Forces soldiers. Once they rushed forward, although they occupied the position, they were actually surrounded by the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade. The soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade all had very high combat qualities. If they wanted to hide, it would be difficult for these terrified South Korean officers and soldiers to discover them. When the enemy reached their insides, the soldiers hidden in all directions showed their ferocious faces. Bullets really sounded from all directions. These poor South Korean officers and soldiers really became turtles in the jar and allowed the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade to shoot and kill them.

This is simply an unimaginable battle. In this position, since they had soldiers from the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade and Reconnaissance Company up and down, they could not dodge at all. They were like tigers locked in cages, and there were fatal threats to rush left and right, which made them escape.

Therefore, just in the first encounter, the enemy who rushed to Jianfengling suffered a fatal blow. Starting from Gao Xiaodong's first bomb firing, almost all the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces and Reconnaissance Company knocked the enemies to the ground one by one. In just the first round of attack, the enemy fell down more than three or four officers and soldiers.

This is a battle, it is clearly a naked massacre. The soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade and the reconnaissance company are already incredible combat power, otherwise they would not have sent them to copy the retreat of these South Korean soldiers. His shooting skills are accurate, and almost all of them are used as snipers. In addition, they have already occupied favorable terrain, which makes it possible to resist the South Korean defeated soldiers who are already several levels worse than them.

In just one encounter, the two South Korean attack companies rushing up on both sides collapsed. Their morale was not high. In addition, facing such a fearful attack, they didn't know how to resist. If they didn't escape, would they say they would stay there and wait for death?

"Escape quickly, we are surrounded by the Communist army!"

"Help, I don't want to die yet!"

The battle fell from the beginning. The South Korean soldiers standing below Jianfeng Ridge to observe the situation in front of him were stunned and watched their attack troops roll and climb down from the mountain. It can be said that they did not pose any threat to the volunteers on Jianfeng Ridge, and they were in panic. However, even the South Korean soldiers below had to say that if they were in such a situation, they didn't know how to go.

They rushed up in fear, and they were already frightened, but they were beaten down without even standing firmly. Faced with this completely unequal battle casualties, the South Korean soldiers who were rolling and crawling down, the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade who were guarding them only regretted that they could not use two more hands to hold guns, otherwise they could shoot more South Korean soldiers. But even so, the two South Korean companies that rushed up would definitely lose more than half when they came down.

At the same time, the South Korean platoon on the road was also in endless fear. Although they were a distance from Jianfeng Ridge, it seemed that the battle on Jianfeng Ridge had little to do with them, but don’t forget that they were facing the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade. These soldiers were not elderly people in the military base of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade. They were all sniper elites trained by Wang Yang and Fu Rongyi.

The banging gunshot sounds are like the sound of the black and white impermanent bells, like shooting a moving target. Every gunshot sounds will inevitably lead to a South Korean officer and soldier who falls to the ground. The gunshot sounds are shocking and even more life. Even at the top of Jianfeng Ridge, Wen Guofeng and more than ten soldiers from the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade with the best shooting skills are simply gods of killing from the sky. Looking at the South Korean soldiers on the roads at this position, this kind of sniping is really exciting.

The South Korean soldiers on the Wennan Highway had no choice but to hide, and they became the living targets of these snipers. The screams of screams died one by one. The psychological pressure for the South Korean soldiers gathered below was extremely huge. Almost every time they fell, they would shake their hearts. When this reinforcement platoon retreated to the dense forests on both sides of the Wennan Highway for concealment, only one-third of them were left, and what about the volunteers? To put it bluntly, these poor South Korean soldiers did not even find their opponents there.

"Chief, it's so exciting. The battle was so exciting. The Southern Puppet Army is invincible!"

"Go again, grandchildren, I will give you beans, I'm afraid you won't dare to come!"

"See if you turtles dare to break through here, just wait for death here!"

“…”

It is unquestionable that this was definitely a joyful victory. Under the command of the wise and tall Director, the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade and the reconnaissance company were incredibly injured and killed nearly twice the number of enemy attacks than them. The results achieved were incredible. This was related to Gao Xiaodong's command, so the soldiers had never fought such a refreshing battle. They all shouted excitedly and demonstrated against the South Korean troops below from time to time.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. When the enemy is in chaos and fear, dig up air defense cover for me. It is best to use the enemy's initial fortifications and be careful that the enemy's dogs are anxious to jump over the wall!"

Perhaps at this time, the only person who is sober was Gao Xiaodong. At this time, he could not take into account the safety of Wang Yang and Kuang Nengxi, but he knew deeply that their blocking battle was the most important battle for annihilation of the current South Korean Capital Division. But although the enemy was defeated, it was just the enemy's tentative attack.

"Comrades, don't underestimate the enemy, don't be careless. The enemy will definitely fight to trap beasts. Our battle has just begun. Don't be complacent because of the victory just now. Be prepared for the next enemy attack!"

Yes, Gao Xiaodong deeply understood that the battle had just begun. In order to escape, the enemies in front of him would never give up easily. Their number was dozens of times that of the blocking troops. In order to survive, theirs would definitely do whatever they wanted.

After looking at the sound of cannons in the distance, and the fierce battle was getting worse. Gao Xiaodong finally saw with joy that our army had already begun to contact the last line of defense of the enemy. Our army's attack was as powerful as a tide, and the defensive positions organized by the South Korean defeated soldiers were shattered. With the current morale and strength of the enemy, it was impossible to stop them.

But facing this scene, Gao Xiaodong only smiled and his face was cold. Everything was as he judged. The battle had just begun and the difficult battle had not ended.

First, he observed on Jianfeng Ridge that the fleeing enemy had begun to calm down under the organization of South Korean officers. Although the first battle to attack Jianfeng Ridge failed, it effectively gave the enemy a breath of breath and made the fleeing enemy realize the importance of escaping.

The dog was anxious and jumped over the wall. In order to escape, even the South Korean soldiers who were most afraid of death began to know that they would pick up their guns to fight. Soon Gao Xiaodong saw that about a battalion of enemies were organized. Under the transportation of several military vehicles, they did not attack Jianfengling, but turned around to reinforce the last line behind.

"Prepare to hide, the enemy's plane is here!"

Of course, this is not what makes Gao Xiaodong feel the most headache. When it comes to infantry offensive and defensive battles, the South Korean army will never be the opponent of the Volunteer Army. Even if they doubled their number, they would only add food to the volunteers' mat. What made Gao Xiaodong most worried was the enemy's air force support. It was just a joke that if the South Korean army was defeated, the Americans could not ignore it.

The thing that was most worried about came. Gao Xiaodong raised his back and saw dozens of American fighter jets flying towards Jianfengling and Wennan Highway in a fierce manner. Gao Xiaodong felt nervous. This was the real reason why he asked the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade and the reconnaissance company to dig up the cover. So under his order, the soldiers immediately hid in the cover and waited for the arrival of the enemy's attack.

"Chief, hurry up and go into the bunker!"

Only at this time, Gao Xiaodong had not entered the bunker. He watched the American plane roaring towards him with some concern, but he did not enter the bunker. He didn't even hear the reminder of a soldier from the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade who protected him next to him.

"Their target is not us, but the large army attacking in front of us!"

In fact, this is what Gao Xiaodong is most worried about at this time. It is already bright and it is the best time for enemy aircraft to operate. At this time, the formations of the volunteer army are exposed to the enemy's firepower. Once these aircraft fly to the positions where the two armies are fighting, it will undoubtedly be a huge threat to the large forces in the attack.

As for Gao Xiaodong, he saw that the enemy's aircraft attacked the target was not Jianfengling, because he clearly saw that the enemy troops below Jianfengling had not yet gathered to charge. Gao Xiaodong also knew deeply that it was not that the Americans would not come to attack Jianfengling, but they had to block the advance of our army's large forces first, and then come back to deal with them with all their strength. That was the most difficult time for Jianfengling.

"Let the soldiers be careful of the enemy's planes, but don't forget to make the bunker stronger!"

Gao Xiaodong hated the Americans' air superiority, and some regretted that our founding time was too short and we could not catch up with this old imperialist military force in a short period of time. Faced with the Americans' aircraft attack, the volunteers had to adopt a defensive stance. Gao Xiaodong knew deeply that a while was the most difficult time at Jianfengling, and he had to make the soldiers ready for all combat.

Everything was as Gao Xiaodong judged. The first wave of Americans' air attacks was indeed not aimed at the soldiers on the Peak Ridge. Dozens of enemy planes whizzed past the Peak Ridge. Gao Xiaodong stood at the top of the Peak Ridge fearlessly as the enemy plane passed over his head. The Americans' plane was arrogant. He could even see the half-naked woman painted on the American plane, and the annoying star-stripe flag.

The air superiority is obvious, and because the attack speed of the 20th Corps is too fast at this stage, it has raided dozens of miles overnight. The anti-aircraft artillery troops and air forces of our volunteers cannot keep up at all. Therefore, when the enemy planes descended above our large army, our army had already broken through the enemy's positions on the whole line, but in the face of the enemy's fierce attack, they had to stop the attack with regret.

The US aircraft were extremely cruel, with sufficient firepower and ammunition. When they dived downwards one after another and dropped ammunition onto the positions occupied by the volunteers like a big bird pulling dung, the flames soaring into the sky and the dust that exploded immediately changed the entire position. With the support of the enemy's reckless bomb drop, the 180th Division and 181st Division forces in the attack had to retreat backwards and began to evacuate into the dense forest. Faced with such an attack by the enemy, it would be extremely unwise to launch a fierce attack on the enemy on the ground at all costs.

The arrogant American plane was flying on the peak of the peak, and waves of attacks gradually attacked towards the direction when the volunteers came. In this attack, the volunteers retreated like a tide. The fleeing South Korean soldiers finally saw the hope of victory. They were extremely depressed and became excited. Soon the enemy's troops quickly occupied the lost positions. The results of the 180th Division and the 181st Division Volunteer Army soldiers were immediately destroyed.

This is not the most headache-inducing thing. What is headache-inducing is that the US transport plane came immediately. After flying to the gathering place of the South Korean defeated troops, the transport plane opened the cabin door, and countless food and ammunition were thrown from the transport plane into the enemy group. The enemy who had been hungry for a night, a burst of cheers came from the panic enemy positions. The arrival of these supplies in time made them finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Damn, I really want to knock them down one by one!"

The scene before him was absolutely disastrous. The timely support of the Americans allowed the South Korean Capital Division to calm down quickly. The combat power that had been lost was restored. The air superiority brought a devastating blow to the Volunteer Army's offensive. The soldiers on Jianling Ridge watched the enemy's plane fly by, and their teeth of hatred were chewing.
To be continued...
