Chapter 14 The Charge
Chapter 14 Charge
"Captain Cui!" Li Xianhao and others refused to give up and continued to nag beside me: "Captain Cui, we are like-minded brothers. Now we are in danger, so you can't sit idly by..."
"Listen to me!" I pushed Li Xianhao to the ground impatiently, and then I glanced at the three of them with a cold light, and said to them with a blank expression: "I will only say my order once, and I will disobey the order and not follow the military law!"
"Captain Cui, you..."
"Zhang Mingxue, Xu Yongwei!"
"have!"
Li Xianhao seemed to not believe what I was saying was true, and he had to argue with getting up from the ground. But with my order, Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei would raise the rifles in his hands and press against Li Xianhao's head. When the other two majors saw this move, they didn't even have the courage to resist. They just stood aside and didn't dare to say anything.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Li Xianhao was so scared that his face was pale and he hurriedly smiled: "Comrade, you have something to say, and you have something to say!"
Looking at Li Xianhao's appearance, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly. This is a traitor during the War of Resistance Against Japan! Now I really doubt whether Li Xianhao was a translator for Japan in the past.
Let me leave them aside for the time being, and I raised my telescope again to look forward. At this time, the front of the battlefield changed again. The sound of guns and cannons is getting closer, and occasionally during the intervals between cannons, you can faintly hear the rumbling of a few motors. More and more troops of the People's Army are retreating, holding the wounded and carrying the dead... They are all braved by the enemy's artillery fire, stepping on the splash of mud and water all over the ground, running towards us in a mess, densely packed like a group of ants.
Just kidding, in this case, "ordered" us to leave the fortification before we respond!
Thinking of the so-called Commander Jin's order just now, I couldn't help feeling helpless. The commander of the People's Army! He could send out any orders when he ran away and fled. He clearly did not care about how much sacrifice we would have! Besides, in this situation, the People's Army retreated from above everywhere. Even if we were willing to leave the fortifications and fight against the enemy, could we drive up?
"Boom..." From time to time, several shells exploded in the People's Army's escape team, lifting several People's Army soldiers high into the air like toys, and then divided into small pieces and fell in different places. The blood was washed away by the rain and quickly spread around. A short while before the position, it turned into a bright red world.
Fortunately, it was raining! Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel secretly glad. I could see that the enemy's shelling on this side was not organized, and the shells that fell on this side were nothing more than some cold cannons, or some missed ones. In other words, the US artillery has not yet discovered that a large area of the People's Army is running away here. Or it has been discovered, but the artillery cannot be positioned correctly, which should be related to the poor visibility in rainy days. If it is sunny, the enemy's artillery aircraft flew into the sky, as long as there is a firepower coverage for this area, I am afraid that most of the people's army in front of me will be killed or injured.
"Dada...dada..."
At this time, the sound of the machine gun fire suddenly sounded, and I couldn't help but feel a stern in my heart. I raised my glasses and looked at the corner of the road. The first thing that entered the glasses was a Xiafei tank. The enemy standing on the tank turret was arrogantly holding the anti-aircraft machine gun and firing at the People's Army that was running ahead.
Rows of People's Army soldiers fell heavily to the ground by the inertia of machine gun bullets. After falling to the ground, no one could get up again. Anti-aircraft machine guns were originally used to hit the plane, and the bullets were both penetrating and strong. If they were hit by it, they would make big holes on their bodies, and they would break them directly. If they shot a few more shots on their bodies, they could easily knock a person into two pieces.
I visually measured the distance of the tank, which was at least one thousand meters away from me, which was much beyond the range of the m1 rifle in my hand, so I could only sigh helplessly and continue to observe the movements of the enemy.
One tank, another tank, and several of them were all in Xiafei. It was only after the fourth one that sherman appeared. I thought to myself that something was wrong! The US tank armored forces were not so cold, right! They were all light tanks with thin skin and low firepower. When I looked at the infantry following behind the tank, I couldn't help but cursed, "It's a fucking puppet army!"
The puppet army and the People's Army are all people of the same country and ethnic group! How can they kill each other more ruthlessly than the Americans!
Tanks emerged one by one along the road, with eight in total, most of them were Xiafei tanks, and only two were Sherman. The Americans were really generous, and more and more tanks were equipped with puppet troops.
Although this Xiafei tank is a light tank, its armor and artillery are nothing compared to the tank, the firepower of the machine gun on it is very terrifying when dealing with the starting soldiers. Especially the anti-aircraft machine gun on the turret. Although this anti-aircraft machine gun is not useful for hitting the airplane, it has many advantages in using it to shoot infantry flat, with strong firepower, great lethality and amazing penetration. So, the machine gunners on the Xiafei tanks were shooting at the People's Army with machine guns, making the People's Army scream and fall into the rain. In an instant, the tank was covered with the corpses of the People's Army and the broken limbs...
One thousand meters.
I couldn't help but put down the telescope, raised the rifle in my hand, pushed the watch ruler on the rifle to 700 meters, which was almost the farthest range of the m1 rifle, and then stared at the tank rushing across the rifle through the scope on the rifle.
In the scope, I could clearly see the crazy grin on the faces of the puppet army's machine gunners. The shells jumped out of the gun chamber one by one, and the blood of the People's Army soldiers kept splashing. It was impossible to tell which ones were rain and which ones were blood, because everything in front of me was dyed red, even the white star in front of the Xiafei tank was also.
Nine hundred meters!
The tank hands of the puppet army did not seem to be the rookies they imagined. They skillfully manipulated the tanks slowly in a shape on the open ground. Needless to say, the purpose of their doing this was to unleash the firepower of the tanks and kill the people's army as much as possible.
The range of the anti-aircraft machine gun is nearly two thousand meters! Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel cold. If these eight tanks were allowed to form, then the thousands of people's army soldiers in front of me were under the firepower of their machine guns. Without a moment, a massacre would soon take place here.
Eight hundred meters!
The 15th Division of the Puppet Army?
Seeing these puppet army tanks achieve such coordination between each other, I couldn't help but secretly surprised me. I didn't seem to have heard of the number of the 15th Division of the puppet army when fighting before? By the way, before the fifth battle, did I mean that three puppet army divisions were being trained in Japan and were ready to carry out landing operations on our army at any time?
Our army launched five battles in advance, making it impossible for them to carry out landing operations, and the troops they were trained in Japan were useless. The current 15th Division would be one of them!
Looking at the battlefield, although some people in the People's Army realized the danger and raised their guns to fight back. But what was helpless was that the puppet army machine gunners were extremely cunning. While they were adjusting their formation, the machine gunners monitored the People's Army's every move. The puppet army following behind also cooperated to organize fire cover. As long as the People's Army dared to turn back and resist, they would soon attract patches of bullets and artillery shells.
Seven hundred meters!
The tanks were gradually lined up in an ideal formation, and they were about to launch a massacre on the People's Army, but at this moment the rifle in my hand fired.
"Bang……"
A machine gunner who was responsible for covering the formation of the tank was unfolded without saying a word and fell back into the tank cabin. He fell in so fast that I could not tell what part of him was hitting him, but I quickly concluded from the red and white balls on the tank cabin behind him: red is blood, and white is brain.
"Bang bang..." Two shots came in succession. A puppet army machine gunner was driven back by the inertia of the bullet, and then rebounded back and hung upside down on the turret. Blood flowed down his hanging hand like a broken pearl, and then it was soon spread around by the rain.
"Bang!"
I quickly turned my target to the machine gunner of the third tank, but the gun failed. I saw a flash of Mars in front of the turret and realized that the gun was low.
I have to admit that the distance of 700 meters is the farthest target I have ever shot, and it was shot in heavy rain, so it was normal to miss a few shots. So I quickly adjusted the gun slightly and fired two more shots in a row. Now I finally killed that guy.
When I was about to aim at the enemy on the fourth tank, I suddenly found the rest of the tank gun barrels and machine guns in the scope, aiming at me. So I quickly lowered my head into the cover, and there was a roar, and the soil and gravel on both sides of the tunnel fell down, and a few pieces of mud splashed all over my head...
"Bao, bah..." I spit out the sand and stones that splashed into my mouth in a mess. Looking at Zhang Mingxue and the others, everyone stared at me in amazement, even Li Xianhao and the two majors of the People's Army were no exception!
"What's wrong?" I couldn't help but ask.
"No, nothing..." Zhang Mingxue first reacted, looked at the gun in my hand with admiration and incredible eyes, and said, "Captain Cui, it's dangerous here. It's time for us to return to the regiment headquarters now!"
"Why are you going back to the regiment headquarters!" I couldn't help but feel angry when I heard this: "Didn't you see this fight here and you're nervous? I'm just commanding here!"
"Captain Cui!" At this time, with a shout, a black shadow ran towards me with his waist. When he ran to me, I recognized him as the commander of the second battalion, Hu Biao.
"Captain Cui, why are you here?" Hu Biao complained as soon as he saw me: "I was wondering just now who gave the order here! It turned out that it was you. I am here! You should go back to the regiment headquarters quickly!"
I couldn't help feeling so angry when I heard this. When I was fighting with Captain Chu in the past, he was always on the front line! I didn't see anyone calling him back. Why did I become the commander?
It should be a habit problem! They will get used to it over time.
Thinking of this, I waved my hand impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, military information is urgent, talk about the situation! Why haven't the fire started yet?"
"Yes!" Hu Biao responded without saying a word and reported directly: "The enemy has entered our range, but most of our firepower is blocked by the comrades of the People's Army, and the enemy is also twisted with the comrades of the People's Army. If the fire is opened, there will definitely be accidental injuries!"
"Yeah!" I responded, carrying a rifle and running along the tunnel in the other direction. Hu Biao and others didn't understand what I meant, so they had to follow me all the way.
After turning a few times in the tunnel, I arrived at another tunnel entrance. Without saying a word, I pushed away the machine gunner guarding the tunnel and put the sniper rifle on it again. Then, with a few "bang..." sounds, I shot all the remaining two bullets in the gun chamber in one breath, and knocked off another machine gunner who was shooting at the People's Army on the tank.
Hu Biao was stunned by the sight. He gently touched Zhang Mingxuewen, who was standing beside him, and said, "The enemy's machine gunners were all killed by Captain Cui?"
Zhang Mingxue didn't dare to speak, but just kept nodding at Hu Biao.
I didn't care about that much. I installed a new magazine for the rifle and changed to a tunnel entrance again. But this time when I came out, I found that no machine gunner dared to come out and shoot with an anti-aircraft machine gun.
At this time, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Without the terrifying firepower of the anti-aircraft machine gun, the People's Army must have escaped a lot of people. Looking at the battlefield, it was true that as Battalion Commander Hu said, most of the firepower was blocked by the People's Army soldiers running to the high ground.
At this time, the road had already been dug into a Golan trench by us. When the deserters of the People's Army saw that the road was not open, they naturally rushed to the high ground... They did not count, but they did not leave a way for the People's Army to escape!
The puppet troops were not stupid. When they saw this scene, they crossed the tank and chased the People's Army's tail and followed. What surprised me even more was that they took off their helmets... On this rainy day, both teams were covered in mud and water. Once they took off their helmets, they could no longer tell which ones were the People's Army and which ones were the puppet troops.
If they just rushed up like this, they would have easily handed over the position to them. And if this continues, they just need to chase these deserters of the People's Army all the way to easily break through our defense and take down all our high ground...
The puppet army is so cunning! I remember that I used this trick, but I didn't expect that it would be restored to me now.
"Comrades... let's go in!" Some people's army may have recognized us as Chinese, and shouted at us while panicking and trying to get into the tunnel, but I was shot out with a butt.
The space in the tunnel is not big. If you let you rush in, there will be no place to turn around? Then the puppet army will just run up and throw a few grenades inside...
Thinking of this, I immediately ordered: "Pass the order and no one is allowed to enter the tunnel!"
"Yes!" A soldier responded and quickly ran while conveying orders in the tunnel.
"Captain Cui, this..." Seeing more and more people rushing upwards, Hu Biao had no idea for a moment. This is not a fight, nor is it not a fight. It seems that he can only watch the enemy rushing up. You see this group of people like the People's Army, and they will throw a few grenades into our tunnel, and by then our tunnel will really become a coffin...
What to do? To be honest, I had no idea at this time. If I ignore the life and death of the People's Army, it is not that I am unwilling to do this, but because if I do this, I will soon arouse public outrage from the People's Army deserters and even affect the friendship between China and North Korea. Even if I win this battle and successfully block the enemy's attack, I will not only fail to make contributions when I go back, but will also be punished more severely for being injustice. If I review it again, even the boss will not be able to protect me!
Isn't this a fight? In the end, the enemy will be robbed of the position so cowardly. Not to mention the defeat, the hope of the 60th Army will be shattered.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a warrior beside me hanging on his waist, and I couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration... Wasn't there a trumpeter who used the charge to scare the British away in the previous few battles? I wonder if this move works on the puppet army?
I think it will work! What the puppet army is afraid of on the battlefield is us Chinese, which seems to be a tradition since ancient times. Now, the reason why these puppet army dares to rush forward so bravely is largely because they think their opponent is the People's Army. If they suddenly find that the enemy guarding this high ground is the Chinese, then...
Thinking of this, I immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the machine gunners are ready for battle. All comrades use the charge as their order and shout "kill", and all trumpets blow the charge!"
"Yes!" Soon a soldier passed my order.
"Captain Cui..." Hearing my strange order, everyone cast doubtful eyes at me, even Hu Biao was no exception.
But I didn't rush to explain anything, so I patted the warrior beside me with a bronze horn on his waist and ordered: "Go out and blow the charge!"
"Yes!" the soldier responded and drilled out of the tunnel without saying a word.
Even I felt a little surprised when he was quick and quick, because at this time it meant danger and sacrifice, but he even went out without hesitation without even thinking for a moment.
The loud trumpet sounded, and the shouts of killing sounded. Then I found that many people in the crowd running towards the high ground couldn't help but hesitate, standing there in panic and looking around. The comrades of the People's Army were running fast. In just a moment, a clearing was separated between the two armies.
Chapter completed!
