Chapter 69 208 Heights (seven)

The battle between China and the United States slowly began. At first, both sides were just tentative attacks against each other. The Americans did not start to exert force. After a fire of artillery, the two armies began to compete between charge and counter-charge. What surprised Li Xianyu was that the Americans actually began to have a bloody nature.

Under such circumstances, with the increasing number of deaths, the 08 Highland has gradually become a sea of ​​blood. From now on, the entire 08 Highland is filled with smoke of war. Even if it is about 30 kilometers away from Seoul, the sound of gunfire can be heard, shocking the soul.

After two days of fierce fighting, both sides were already red in their eyes. The crazy armies vowed to defeat their opponents at all costs. The US military regarded the gains and losses of the 08 Highland as a beginning for the entire United States to re-establish the image, and this beginning must not be failed. Otherwise, how could they start to take action at that time?

At this moment, the 6th Division of the 18th Army, led by Li Xianyu, was in a situation of fighting against the enemy. Therefore, their competition here was very fierce from the beginning. Although the US military repeatedly defeated, it was a bit more courageous. After all, their number was still quite considerable compared to the entire 6th Division.

This is also one of the few Americans who have an absolute advantage in the future. Because with the arrival of General Peng, the ratio of the two sides naturally gradually changed from China's disadvantage to China's advantage.

On the 08 Highlands, the Sixth Division began to resist continuously with its strong fortifications, causing heavy casualties to the attacking US troops. "On the east side of the 08 Highlands, the US troops fought fiercely for three days and three nights and conquered this small land at the cost of more than 4,000 casualties. Of course, the losses of the 6th Division were not necessarily small, and they lost less than 600 people in total.

Although the ratio seems to be very large, you should know that the Americans are in a relatively weak state. Moreover, the terrain of the Sixth Division is very well controlled, and the Americans have no chance to come in at all. This is the biggest advantage of the Sixth Division. The Americans have been constantly approaching their goals.

When the casualties data was delivered to the Far East Command, senior US military generals such as MacArthur were shocked, thinking that the frontline report was incorrect, and it might be that a zero was added due to a hand error.

On the surface, the strength comparison and gap between China and the United States are not very big. At least the US military and the 18th Army are comparable. However, the casualties ratio is so much higher than that of the Chinese, which makes General MacArthur feel that he is black. He really doesn't know how the Chinese train soldiers? Under such circumstances, such a large casualties ratio can be caused.

The US military implemented the strategy and tactics of active offensiveness, while the 18th Army implemented the policy of passive defense. The bigger gap comes from the policy of the two armies. The two armies themselves are not the same type of combat method. Although the Americans' bloody attack method looks magnificent, it has no substantial effect. After all, what they can control now is real, but the casualties of the Americans seem to be less controlled by themselves.

From the most intuitive reaction, we can see that if the Americans continue like this, how many troops will they have to sacrifice to eliminate so many Chinese troops? Because the Americans now conservatively estimate that there are about 8,000 Chinese people here.

If the casualties ratio is converted, it will take at least 70,000 people to sacrifice this army to stay here forever. Although the killing was red in the past three days, Li Xianyu was actually constantly controlling the rhythm.

You know, Americans have the advantage in this place. Could they give this advantage to the Chinese? There are already a lot of casualties. What's the point if they just give up like this?

The Americans were not happy, but in fact, Li Xianyu still hoped that the Americans would attack more because he found that it was very easy for them to block the Americans now. More importantly, the effect was too obvious.

Nearly 5,000 US troops were wiped out in three days. What is the efficiency? Americans don’t feel sorry for their own troops? Wrong, Americans have always felt sorry for their own troops. If it weren’t for this, or if Americans don’t care about casualties at all, the proportion of casualties would probably be much smaller.

But the problem now is that these people need to control the proportion of casualties, but it often goes against your expectations. The more you want to control, the greater the possibility of failure in the end. In this case, China obviously hopes that Americans will make mistakes in their busy lives.

The fortifications of the 18th Army were extremely strong, and the US military's shells only injured the surface and could not destroy it.

The reasonable fortification group structure allows the Russian army's firepower, especially the machine gun firepower, to form a dense firepower network, which is difficult for the US military to overcome this steel barrage.

In order to reduce casualties, the US military immediately changed to a night attack, but it still achieved little success. The number of casualties continued to rise sharply, and MacArthur's temper also rose. Isn't it just a human? Could it be that the United States can't afford to have these tens of thousands of troops?

Now, one Chinese dies on the 08 Highlands, and one of their own troops can be replenished continuously. It is precisely because of this reason that General MacArthur looked at everyone with confidence. You must know that MacArthur has not been so persistent for a long time.

Now it seems that the Americans are really a bit obsessed with it. The Americans just hope to win the 08 Highland as soon as possible. The battle on the 08 Highland was so tragic. The entire highland was bombed beyond recognition. If Li Xianyu and others had time to arrange it calmly, the number of casualties so far should have continued to increase.

After the war, a soldier from the Sixth Division wrote in the memoirs: "A landslide composed of living people rolled towards us, and Americans rushed out from the valleys and gullies. Rifles and machine guns were fired one after another, searchlights were up and down, making the American soldiers unable to open their eyes. They advanced, pounced, jumped up and ran forward, and then fell down."

The front of the Sixth Division was almost covered with wounded and dead American officers and soldiers lying on the ground. The sound of gunfire and explosions were mixed with miserable wails of wounded men. The wave of attack of the US military was still surging. The successors of the US military charged in the body of their companions.

The US military is currently suffering from casualties, and the morale of the Americans seems to have gradually improved from the beginning. Why? Because they are already red in their eyes, they know that they may die at any time.

Who can still remain calm in such a situation? I'm afraid no one can remain calm or clear-headed. They only have one belief, that is, to take down the 08 Highlands and avenge their dead brothers. This is their only idea and hope. The Americans' offense seems to be scruples.

The first wave of offensive leader on the eastern high ground, Philip's eyes had become empty and unsightly at this moment. Yes, empty and unsightly, his troops changed from three thousand people to more than three hundred people during the battle in the past few days. In just three days, several of Philip's good brothers died on the battlefield one after another.

What made Philip a little more grateful was that he was just scratched by the bullets, and there was nothing at the moment. This made people really different. Philip's performance also won the respect of everyone. This is the current environment. There is no way, and the entire American offense seems to be greatly hindered.

The 08th high ground was full of dead bones, and the scene was a bit shocking. Li Xianyu had to attend the farewell ceremony of the soldiers' bodies every night. Looking at the big list, Li Xianyu was also very angry. In fact, just five days passed, and their death toll increased a lot.

In the first three days, because the Americans were not familiar with their troops and formations, they were still a little conservative when attacking. Although the scenes in the first three days seemed very intense, in fact, their offense was still reserved.

But from the fourth day, their offensive strength suddenly doubled, and their fearless spirit was very fierce. In Li Xianyu's words, the US military at this moment seemed to be a little different from the US military they knew.

However, Li Xianyu also knew that both sides had their eyes red, so they still care about who they were? Even the Sixth Division, when they saw the Americans, they would subconsciously shoot. This is not a question of who is right or wrong, and the war has already made people numb.

The gunfire in the 08 Highlands was almost day and night, and it was only the fifth day, but the Sixth Division resisted tenaciously day and night. They also knew that the Americans should never go further, otherwise they would be in danger by then.

"Teacher Commander, the number of deaths in our current range has increased to 1,500. If we continue like this, it may be difficult for us to last until a month. Now..." The Chief of Staff's eyes were a little red.

Li Xianyu said: "This is not a problem. We can imagine that the American offense is crazy, but we did not expect that the American offense would be so crazy." As he was speaking, the American bombs fell to the periphery again. The entire 08 high ground was almost like an earthquake, and the earth was shaken all day long.

The Chief of Staff said: "But the deaths of each division are not the same at the moment. We should now discuss how to effectively allocate these people. Once our number is less than 3,000, our entire defensive pressure will be too great."

Li Xianyu looked at the Chief of Staff, three thousand people? If only three thousand people were left in the Sixth Division, then how could Li Xianyu have the face to face the elders of Jiangdong? Moreover, Li Xianyu also knew that what the Chief of Staff said was very realistic. Because from the current situation, anything could happen.

Li Xianyu said: "Americans have been wiped out almost 10,000 people now. Haha, in general, we should feel sorry for our soldiers, but we have no reason to be sadder than Americans. Another thing is that the American anti-aircraft machine guns are really good. I found that anti-aircraft machine guns can not only hit planes in the sky, but also run enough people on the ground."

The Chief of Staff said: "We don't have any anti-tank weapons now, so I think once American tanks participate in the attack, I think we can try it with anti-aircraft guns. Haha, I think since all the planes can be shot, I believe it's no problem to deal with the tanks?"

Li Xianyu nodded and said, "I think we can try this, Chief of Staff, now our task is to continuously reduce the casualties of brothers and delay time. Notify the front line troops and start tightening, and change the range from 100 meters to 200 meters to 200 meters. Stop the enemy from getting too close to the position, and at the same time, let our mortars and other preparations. Aren't the Americans always thinking about blowing us up? Could it be that we can't give them some excellence? Let them know that they look down on our fate and see an enemy-front command of the American in front? Let Da Lei and the others kill that, haha, there is a reason for not being given to the door?"

The Americans' front command of the enemy continued to move forward from behind. They mainly saw that the Sixth Division had no artillery fire and could not threaten them. So they were very happy and had moved forward for more than two kilometers, and were very arrogant.

But they did not expect that the Sixth Division had a large caliber and a longer range. Although there were such cannons, this kind of mortar was really effective in condescending.

The Chief of Staff used a telescope to see the location of the American enemy's front command post. In fact, this was not the enemy's front command post. It was a division command post. Of course, it was the division commander of the US military unit currently participating in the attack.

In fact, they were definitely not like this at the beginning, but gradually became bolder. The teacher did not expect that the Chinese had begun to attack him. At this moment, the Americans were also catching up on the attack. How could they have time to care about who you are? Their task is to adjust their state as quickly as possible and eliminate the Chinese on the other side.

In Pyongyang City, the people in Pyongyang were cheering at this moment, because a large number of Chinese troops had begun to enter Pyongyang City, which excited the people in Pyongyang. At the beginning, the Chinese only sent a few people, but now the Chinese have sent hundreds of thousands of troops.

Of course, these troops did not all live in Pyongyang, but were stationed on the periphery of Pyongyang. The military and civilians between China and North Korea felt like they were family in the rain at this moment. When Kim Il-sung appeared in Pyong County to welcome General Peng, the whole scene grew unprecedentedly, and the people of Pyongyang were also shouting slogans such as "Kim Il-sung" and "Volunteer Army". When the fierce battle in the 08 Highlands, this place was still a sea of ​​joy...

However, the Americans on the periphery of Pyongyang were also very crazy about opening the gap because they knew that this was their last chance. Now that General Peng has arrived, the Americans know that they are going to start from offense to defense. (To be continued)
