Chapter 967: Underestimating the Enemy

Although Heights 317 was occupied by Chinese troops, there was still Heights 321 to his left that had not been conquered and remained in the hands of the enemy.

Highlands 317 are connected to Highlands 321 in the same vein, and the elevations are almost equal. Without looking at the map, it's hard to tell which one is 317 and which one is 321 just by looking at the appearance. Walking on the simple road that winds through the mountains in the middle of the mountains and the dense vegetation is in the middle of the mountains, you can miss the target if you are not careful. It was this carelessness that cost the Chinese army more than 20 lives.

"Report to the regiment commander, I have taken the 317 heights." Shi Qingyang reported to the head of the regiment, Dai Anlan.

"Okay, you must hold on and wait for orders." Then, the regimental training department informed the division of the news. The command post of the division issued an order to the artillery group assigned to the division: "In order to accurately strike at the Russians, order the command post of the artillery group to move forward to the 317 heights." ”

Before leaving, the artillery commander gave two instructions to the chief of staff of the regiment leading the team, "First, get off the car and walk up the hill before approaching the 317 heights. Second, carefully observe the terrain along the road and do not stray into enemy territory. ”

The chief of staff of the artillery regiment with six vehicles began to move forward to the 317 heights.

Six cars are driving on the improvised road. Chief of Staff Du Youzheng took out the map, glanced at the place circled by the red pen at random, looked up and compared it with the mountains in front of him, and felt that there was nothing suspicious. The car moved on.

When approaching the 317 heights, Du Youzheng ignored the two suggestions made by the regiment commander before departure, that is, he did not stop, nor did he give any instructions to the convoy, but let the car continue to move forward.

At this time, Du Youzheng believed that even if the Chinese army had taken the 317 heights, there was no need for the soldiers to carry the command equipment up the mountain on foot, and he wanted to drive the car all the way to the bottom of the mountain.

The 6 company, which occupied the 317 heights, had long received an order to come from the command post of the artillery regiment. They had already found a place for the command post, camouflaged it, and waited for them to arrive.

When the fighters saw six cars flashing past on the 317 Highland Mountain Road, they all froze. They can't figure out why. Because the front is already out of the control of the Chinese army, there is a powerful network of fire from the Russians there, and what are these cars driving there for?

The fighters are still hesitating.

Suddenly, from the junction of Heights 317 and 321, there was a strong machine-gun fire and mine explosions.

At first, Du Youzheng did not care about the Russian machine-gun fire, believing that it was just a remnant of the Russians, and that as long as the troops occupying the high ground came up and fought a dozen, the Russians would be scared away.

Du Youzheng made a mistake, not only an ordinary mistake, but a taboo of underestimating the enemy.

The first car was first attacked by two shells from the Russians. The moving car was shot on the spot, and in an instant, it flipped into the ditch in flames, and all five soldiers in the car were killed.

When the second car saw that the first car had been shot, it immediately took emergency measures and parked the car on the edge of the cliff. As soon as the occupants of the car jumped out of the trunk, they were subjected to heavy fire from more than a dozen Russian machine guns, killing 13 soldiers on the spot.

When the cars behind saw that the cars in front of them were being attacked, they retreated to a depression in the joint. The car at the end was the first to pull off the road, and as soon as it reached the hollow, it detonated two mines, killing three people instantly.

After Du Youzheng retreated into the depression with the remaining vehicles, more than 30 people were crushed into the high ground and could not get out.

Du Youzheng lay on the ground and asked a person next to him: "What's the matter, didn't the 317 Heights be taken!" How is it still in the hands of the Russians. ”

A staff officer spread out the map and compared it with the field, and was shocked: "Sir, this is not 317 heights, this is 321 heights. ”

"Ahh Du Youzheng was stunned for a moment.

"Sir, break through!" The staff officer reminded.

"Okay, break out." Du Youzheng agreed.

Now it is not easy to break through, the mountains and mountains are full of Russian bunkers, although they do not come out or go down the mountain, they can use machine gun chalk instead of arms, and drive the prey under the mountain at will. …,

"Boom, boom!"

As soon as the Russians could not shoot the Chinese military personnel with their machine guns, they began to shell them.

A few shells fell, and the thirty or forty people hiding in the depression immediately went into chaos. He began to run around, east and west. Some jumped onto the road in the direction they came from, ignoring the Russian machine-gun fire, and some got into the grass nearby.

Du Youzheng knew that it was not good, and realized that if such chaos continued, it was likely that the whole army would be wiped out. So he stood up, waved his arms, and shouted to the panicked crowd.

As soon as he shouted twice, he was targeted by a Russian machine gun. The Russians immediately fired a continuous long fire at him.

"Poof, poof, poof" A few chalky bullets hit Du Youzheng. Du Youzheng shook twice, stiffened and did not fall immediately.

The staff officer beside him found that the machine gun was shooting at Du Youzheng, so he pounced on him, trying to block Du Youzheng with his body.

It's a pity that it's too late, after all, the speed of people can't keep up with the chalk. When he arrived, Du Youzheng slowly fell down.

The staff officer who rushed over was not spared, and was also shot by this machine gun.

As soon as Du Youzheng died, the soldiers in the depression completely lost their command and became even more chaotic. They don't care what it means to fight back or what it means to hide, they just run around with all their might. As long as you can evade the pursuit of the Russians and escape from the Russian firepower, you will have any hope of survival.

Some of the soldiers who were blasted out of the depression by the shells ran for their lives with crucinal shells, and some of them burrowed into the bushes to avoid the Russians' sight. But no matter where they ran, the Russians' machine guns were still chalky, and more than a dozen soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

The Russians on the mountain, so far I don't know what these Chinese soldiers do.

At first, they speculated that it might be an interspersed unit of the Chinese army. Because the Russians were frightened by the Chinese army, they desperately tried to block it. After fighting for a while, I saw that these soldiers had no strength to fight back at all, they didn't know what resistance was, and they didn't have heavy weapons in their hands.

The Russians on the hill were puzzled and did not know what this unit was for! Because they were afraid of being ambushed by the Chinese army, they finally did not dare to send troops down the mountain. It's just a constant bombardment with machine guns and mortars, bent on killing all these Chinese soldiers.

Sun Wangcai, a confidential officer who went down to the valley, after his troops were attacked by the Russians, his first thought was not to escape, but how to dispose of the codebook on his body. He looked at the panicked people and knew he couldn't get out alive. So he squatted down, blocked the Russian velvet with his body, and lit the code book. He understands the importance of the password too well, even if he doesn't want his own life, and he must not let the password fall into the hands of the Russians. After the codebook was destroyed, Sun Wangcai followed everyone to break out.

Shi Qingyang, who was still on the 317 heights, found that the car was attacked by the Russians, and while reporting to his superiors, he organized fire suppression.

For a moment, all the heavy machine guns on the 317 heights rang out and fired at the positions of the Russians on the 321 heights.

But the Russians hid inside protected fortresses, and machine-gun chalk shells did not do much at all.

Shi Qingyang asked his superiors for artillery support, but was refused. The reason given by the superiors was that the use of artillery fire would expose the artillery positions before the assault on Heights 321 began. Let the forward troops think of all ways to rescue the besieged people.

Shi Qingyang looked at the Chinese soldiers who were about to be wiped out by the Russians, and at this time he didn't care about anything, "Lao Tzu is going to the military court, and he has to rescue them." As a result, Shi Qingyang no longer asked his superiors for instructions, and ordered the three mortars assigned to the fourth company to open fire.

"Boom, boom, boom" Under the continuous bombardment of mortar shells, more than a dozen commanders and fighters finally jumped onto the road and broke away from the Russian fire network. …,

Shi Qingyang knew that there were still more than 20 people trapped in the enemy-occupied area. So he asked the regiment again for instructions and asked to lead the troops to attack.

"You can attack, but you can't go." Dai Anlan agreed with Shi Qingyang's suggestion, but also prevented him from leaving the command post!

Shi Qingyang ordered to the platoon commander Qian Sen, "Qian Sen, order you to lead the second platoon to rescue those people for me." Remember, as long as there are people alive, bring them back to me one by one. ”

"Yes." Chanson rushed down the hill with the second platoon.

As soon as the fighters approached the junction, they were blocked by Russian fire.

After Shi Qingyang saw Qian Sen leading people down the mountain, he ordered the heavy machine gunners, "Keep an eye on me, as long as there are Russians coming down the mountain, give me a hard beating, and no one will be missed." ”

At this time, Shi Qingyang was most worried that these people would be captured by the Russians. Once you become a prisoner, whether in the enemy country or back home, no matter how heroic the character is, she will spend her gray life.

So he thinks that even death is better than being a captive. has a breath, but also to win back the face of the soldiers, there is a lot of "I smile at the sky with a horizontal knife...... boldness". This is the peculiarity of which no army in the world can compare with Chinese soldiers.

The second platoon was pressed by the enemy out of range of the joint.

Without artillery support and fire suppression, it would not be easy for a dozen flesh and blood bodies to pass through a network of fire composed of anti-aircraft machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars.

Chanson led the men to charge forward again.

This time, the fighters were prostrate on the ground, moving forward little by little through the low barbed wire.

The two machine guns on the lower slope of the hill were limited by their angles, and the chalk shells could only fly around the heads of the fighters, but they could not hurt anyone.

The Russian Bi Yi is a veteran of the long life of the fighting. So, they also changed their style of play and began to fire cold cannons in the direction of the second platoon.

"Boom, boom" two shells exploded in the attack area. Two fighters were killed on the spot.

Don't underestimate the power of the cold cannon, it can correct the direction in time without being in a hurry. Not only can you hit the blind spots behind the boulders, but you can also bombard the previous crater.

As long as you are targeted by the gunner, there is a chance that nine times out of ten you will run after you like a ghost possessed! )
