The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 401 Encountering American Tanks

Before setting off, the soldiers of the first battalion gathered on the Chuncheon Highway. The company commanders of each company handed over the statistics of the remaining number of people capable of fighting in their companies to the first battalion commander. Some of the wounded were treated in the rear."

Every soldier in the company, he and the instructor treat him like his brother, whoever sacrificed makes people feel sad.

The commander of the first battalion, surnamed Li, is a Henan Han, with a strong Henan accent: "The casualties in the company are not small, and it is difficult to be the main offensive task, especially when they face enemies that are several times higher than their own, and their firepower is very powerful. American devils, but the casualties of the second company and the third company are also not small, the next task, the second company will be responsible for the main attack task, the first company will be responsible for the left wing, and the third company will be responsible for the right wing, trying to wipe out the enemies pursued by friends and neighbors!"

"Yes!"

The company commanders nodded.

Battalion Commander Li said: "Advance according to the battle formation. If you find the enemy, don't startle the enemy. Wait until the troops enter the battle site before launching an attack."

The 63st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment and the [-]nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment broke away and moved closer to the eastern front. They wanted to form a double-team with the left-neighboring large corps to encircle and annihilate the enemy in the east. The progress was slow for a while. The [-]rd Army was on the right, but it was far away from the [-]th Division and could not be reinforced.

The way to open up the situation is to send an army to cut in half the enemy pursuing from the left neighbor from the flank.

The [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment and the [-]nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment needed to reach the enemy's retreat route in the shortest possible time and cut them off.

The three companies marched in a three-three battle formation to Jiuluan Mountain, Xiaozidong, and Tongguli area. The team kept advancing silently, only the sound of heavy breathing and the collision of guns made the crisp sound of gold and arms. Also because of the hasty march, the entire company became extremely loose.

Xia Yuan's voice spread throughout the company: "Hurry up, keep up, don't fall behind."

His own physical fitness is extremely strong, far surpassing that of ordinary people, and he has acquired the special skill of persistence. This rapid march is nothing to him, but for other soldiers, rapid march is undoubtedly the most painful.

"In the winter of minus 38 degrees, the 70th Division of the [-]th Army of the Long Live Army marched for more than [-] kilometers in [-] hours. They rushed ahead of the mechanized US military and successfully intercepted the enemy. We must learn from the Long Live Army and hurry up before the enemy retreats. , Arrive at Tongguli, cut off the enemy at the waist!"

Captain Lei panted and shouted loudly.

The movements of the soldiers' feet became faster, and the sound of breathing became heavier and heavier.

Wang Xiaoliang was out of breath due to exhaustion, and fortunately he slept enough during the day, so he was not too sleepy at night, but the hunger was unbearable, his lungs were burning hot, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead. He raised his head and looked at the Look, I am already far behind the team.

Gritting his teeth: "Hold on, hold on!"

He reached out and grabbed a handful of fried noodles and stuffed them into his mouth, drank some water, and swallowed hard.

Liu Tiezhu was carrying a light machine gun, gasping for breath, and said: "Eat more, you will have the strength to fight the American devils when you are full."

Wang Xiaoliang whimpered and said, "I can't eat any more, the fried noodles in the grain bag are running out."

He stretched out his hand and pinched it, and many of them were shriveled.

Liu Tiezhu asked: "What about the seized cans?"

Wang Xiaoliang said: "It's all handed over. The wounded need to eat. Let's just eat fried noodles."

A lot of canned food from the U.S. military was seized on the highlands, including a lot of canned meat, and they were all handed over to the Military Supply Department. These canned meats are a good source of nutrition. There were not a few wounded soldiers, and the amount of canned meat needed was a terrifying amount.

Liu Tiezhu put his big hands on Wang Xiaoliang, and said with a smile, "I can't tell, Comrade Wang Xiaoliang, your ideological consciousness is quite high."

Gudong, I swallowed the fried noodles in my mouth, my stomach convulsed, and my desire to eat became stronger, Wang Xiaoliang grabbed another handful of fried noodles and stuffed them into his mouth, whimpering: "You all handed over the cans, I It’s not good to keep it for yourself, and I have food on me, so I’m not short of food for the time being.”

As he said that, he patted the food stick on his body, it was bulging, and there was still a lot of food left uneaten.

"Stop and rest in place for 5 minutes!"

Hearing Lieutenant Commander Lei's order, the soldiers slumped down on the ground, gasping for breath. Rapid marching is the most tiring thing. Carrying food strips and weapons and ammunition on their bodies, they marched quickly with heavy loads. If you don't run far, you will be tired and out of breath. The soldiers insisted on relying entirely on their will.

How many soldiers in the 38th Division of the [-]th Army of the Long Live Army vomited blood tiredly.

Also, the task of the first battalion is not urgent, and the specific location of the enemy has not been found out, otherwise Zhisi's order would not be to let them rush to Jiuluan Mountain, Xiaozidong and Tongguli area, but to give them They are a precise blocking position.

During the rest period, the soldiers drank water after eating fried noodles to replenish their physical strength, took a short rest, and continued to set off.

Arriving at Jiuluan Mountain, Xiaozidong, and Tongguli at dawn on the second day, the first battalion began to search the mountains to find the enemy.

The U.S. Tenth Army has ten U.S. Sherman tanks. They are lined up and driving to the front line for reinforcements. On the road, they moved too fast and left the infantry behind. The tank crew of the second tank may have realized this. , stopped immediately, and an American military officer got out of it. He took out a small map and took a look at it and made a note.

Then he took out the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Stop!"

Ten Sherman tanks lined up in a row stopped slowly, and five American soldiers came down from the tank cabins and exchanged a few words with each other. They didn't know what they were studying, but they saw these five people around After patrolling within a range of 500 meters, they came back again. This tank column came out from the naval landing ship and has been stagnant in Seoul. This time, it came out to reinforce the central front. They did not place any emphasis on our army's anti-tank capabilities. in the eyes.

These five people came out to inspect the terrain, just in case, seeing a ditch on the left and a mountain on the right, they talked and laughed with each other, shrugged, and returned to their respective bastards as if nothing had happened. Here, ten Sherman tanks roared and continued to advance.

Between a mountain depression, one battalion and three companies hid in this rocky area, and scouts lay on the top of the mountain, guarding the surroundings.

The vanguard sent out ran back with a shocking news.

"I found tanks of foreign devils in front, and a large number of infantry. Judging from the scale, there is at least one battalion of enemies."

The news brought back by the vanguard made the atmosphere a bit frozen, and the faces of several commanders and fighters showed serious expressions. Company Commander Lei said: "Our company only has two bazookas, and we added three rockets for punishment. There are still nine rockets available."

The commander of the second company said: "Our company's rockets have been exhausted, and only five rounds have been replenished, and we still gave up one round in a row."

The commander of the third company said: "Our company still has five rockets, which is enough to deal with the foreign devils' tanks."

Battalion Commander Li suppressed the emotions of several people, and said: "The tanks of the American devils are rough and thick, and one rocket may not be able to destroy them."

The commander of the second company said, "Then send soldiers with blasting tubes and explosives to kill these bastards!"

"Don't be reckless. Dealing with tanks requires certain skills, and it doesn't have to be completely destroyed."

Company Commander Lei volunteered, "Battle Commander, the enemy's tanks are handed over to our first company. We have dealt with them before when we were fighting against the reactionaries, and we have encountered them several times. The skin of the tank is very thick, but its wheels are very fragile, if its wheels are blown off, no matter how powerful this iron bastard is, he will not be able to move."

Battalion Commander Li nodded: "Okay, then the task of dealing with the tanks will be handed over to your first company. The second company will deploy defenses in front of the infantry to block these infantry so that they cannot cooperate with the tanks. The third company will be responsible for cutting off the infantry from the middle. Divide it apart and eat it in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!"

Each company that received the combat mission quickly returned to its own company to convey the order.

in a row.

Lei Lian said: "The vanguard found the foreign devil's tank, which is relatively close to us. The mission of our company is to destroy the enemy's tank!"

American devil's tank! ?

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. During the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, they faced tanks more than once. This iron bastard was invulnerable, not even afraid of hand grenades. The tanks had heavy machine guns on them, and they wanted to get close It is very difficult, and it often takes five or six people to rush over with explosives.

But they are often killed by the heavy machine guns on the tanks on the road of charge.

Tanks made them suffer so much that even many old soldiers are afraid of tanks even now.

It is also the first time for Xia Yuan to deal with the tanks of the American devils. In Changjin Lake, Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong have dealt with the tanks of the American devils before. Yu Congrong can also drive tanks, but Changjin Lake's individual heroism is still relatively heavy , the tank of the American Devils can be easily eaten by two people.

He is also in the light of the movie.

But now there is no personal heroism, let alone anyone who can become five thousand miles. Without high-quality terrain, the tanks of the American devils can really run amok without restraint.

"The weak point of a tank is its tracks. If the bazooka can't break the tank's armor, then we'll first destroy the tank's tracks so that it can't move forward!"

Xia Yuan remembered watching some anti-Japanese movies. In the movies, when facing tanks, some Eighth Route Army would block the periscope on the tanks with soy sauce, and then send soldiers to hide on both sides of the road. When the tanks approached, they would stuff the cluster grenades into the tanks. Under the track of the tank, if the track is blown off, then no matter how powerful the tank is, it will still be an iron bastard who cannot move.

Company Commander Lei agreed: "The first platoon leader is very experienced in dealing with tanks. The weak point of tanks is their tracks. We don't need to completely destroy the tanks of the American Devils, just blow off his tracks."

"As for the rest, don't worry about it. If we can blow up the tanks of the American devils, our mission will be completed."

The second company and the third company have already set off. They need to investigate the situation of the foreign devils and deploy defenses according to the route of the foreign devils. The first company has to deal with the tanks of the American devils. The task is also very difficult. If there are too many tanks, many people will die.

The first battalion and three companies spread out to the left, center and right, and the first company wanted to block the way of the American Devils tanks before they arrived.

A company of more than 90 people soon arrived at the only way for the American devils. Three platoons were distributed on the mountain. The soldiers took out their engineering shovels and dug trenches on the mountain. When they reached a mountain depression, they could feel the slight vibration of the ground from a distance. After a while, the vibration became louder and louder. Ten American devil tanks appeared in their sight. They were huge, and their black barrels were facing The sky exudes a cold atmosphere, and the tank's body is printed with a white five-pointed star pattern, like a moving fortress.

Feeling the vibration from the ground, Lao Yang frowned: "During the liberation war, I dealt with reactionary tanks before. Those tanks were all small tanks left by the Japanese devils. They were fast, but thin-skinned. Bazooka It can be dealt with, but the tank in front of me does not look easy."

Xia Yuan squinted his eyes and observed that this was the M4 Sherman tank developed by the American devils. The tank developed and manufactured by the United States during World War II was commonly called Sherman, also translated as Sherman or Sherman. The tank with the largest number of equipment in the army, with 5 members, is equipped with a 76mm artillery and two Browning machine guns.

The bazooka's rockets are limited in power, and it is really difficult to destroy the armor of the Sherman tank, but the recoilless gun and anti-tank grenade can blow it up, and the blowup is not completely blown up, just destroying its tracks , making it inoperable.

While thinking, the tank stopped suddenly, Xia Yuan squinted and said, "What did they stop for?"

Lao Yang shook his head: "I don't know."

The scout suddenly appeared on the hillside. He quickly slid down the hill and ran to the two of them, "Platoon leader, the American devils' tanks are followed by infantry, about a mile away from these tanks."

"Tanks run much faster than infantry on the road. They just stop and wait for the infantry behind them to catch up."

Xia Yuan realized that this was their chance.

Lao Yang was also very smart. He glanced at Xia Yuan and said, "It seems that you can see it too. This news is very important. Maybe we can catch him by surprise when these tanks stop and wait for the infantry."

"Go, tell Captain Lei this information."

A company of soldiers has already dug simple trenches and hid themselves, quietly waiting for the American Devils tank to appear. The news that Xia Yuan brought back is very important. The tanks and infantry are separated, which means that once the tanks in the front are attacked, the rear It is difficult for the infantry to come in for reinforcements in a short period of time, and the second and third companies will deal with the infantry in the rear, so that the first company will have a safe environment. As long as the tanks and American infantry are separated, then this American devil is very powerful. May become the ghost of their battalion under the gun.
