At dawn, the 1st Infantry Division of the 17th Army of the ROK Army took the lead in Qinghe

The sparse sound of artillery woke the officers and men of the 163rd Airborne Brigade from their sleep, and when Yang Meng grabbed his rifle and got up, the platoon commander rushed into the underground bunker. 【】

"It's our turn to platoon, the 1st squad guards the left flank position, the 2nd squad guards the right flank position, and the 3rd squad follows me to guard the central defense line."

The fighters got up one after another and prepared for battle as fast as they could.

"Hurry up, take the position in two minutes, the enemy is about to rush up!"

The platoon commander turned around and left the underground bunker, and Yang Meng rushed out of the bunker behind the squad leader Long Xinqiang, and ran along the dark and narrow tunnel towards the position.

For two days and two nights, Yang Meng only slept for two hours, and the other officers and men of the 163 Airborne Brigade were no better.

Beginning on the morning of 24 July, the 163 Brigade of the Airborne Brigade left for the airport and entered the highest state of combat readiness. Since this time, Yang Meng has not closed his eyes. The excitement of going to war dilutes the exhaustion and suppresses the fear of war.

As a recruit, Yang Meng does not have too high requirements for himself.

It's good to be able to survive until the end of the battle, and even if you die in the war, you have no regrets. In the words of squad leader Long Xinqiang, if you want to die, you have to die like a man!

A ray of sunlight shines into the tunnel. Yang Meng hadn't had time to stop his footsteps. A large hand stopped in front.

"Yang Meng followed me. The other in pairs. Make use of preset fire points as much as possible. Don't go to the surface position lightly. Do not expose yourself to the enemy's ground guns and guns. Do you understand? ”

Yang Meng nodded. The six warriors behind him also nodded.

Long Xinqiang nodded at Yang Meng. Push open the door panel at the mouth of the tunnel. The first rushed out. Yang Meng was not late. Keep up with the head of the office immediately. Rush out of the pit.

Ran along the trench less than 1. Two men went into another underground tunnel.

When rushing through the trenches. Long Xinqiang probed three times to observe the situation on the ground. Yang Meng did not do so. Always follow closely behind the squad leader. He is not without guts. It's not necessary. In the 2 combat group. Yang Mengdi's mission is to assist the squad leader in the battle.

The purpose of setting up some trenches between the two tunnels is to enable officers and men to observe the situation on the ground and to grasp the situation on the battlefield more clearly.

Long Xinqiang didn't say a word, and ran along the tunnel to the front of the position.

Yang Meng knew that the squad leader was going to the reverse fire point at the front of the position and launch a surprise attack from the enemy's rear.

The tragic battle of the 153rd Airborne Brigade in Gorro gave the 163rd Airborne Brigade a great "inspiration", and when building positions, the 163rd Airborne Brigade paid more attention to underground tunnels rather than ground trenches. In order to resist the sudden attack of thermobaric bombs, not only were the officers and men in each formation able to reach the nearest underground bunker within two minutes, but the scouts also set up hundreds of sensors and monitors on the positions. Before the enemy attacked, the officers and men stayed in underground bunkers. Only when the enemy rushed to the position did the officers and men enter the position along the tunnels and trenches.

Long Xinqiang suddenly stopped, and Yang Meng hurriedly stopped his pace.

"Anti-tank missiles."

Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, and immediately removed the missile canister on his back.

"Are you scared?" When debugging the sight, Long Xinqiang asked.

Yang Meng smiled and shook his head, but smiled reluctantly.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's the Stick Army that came up." Long Xinqiang skillfully assembled the missile launcher, "When you go to the shooting port, you will be greeted with bullets if the stick dares to rush over." ”

Yang Meng nodded, ran behind the shooting hole 5 meters away, and set up his rifle.

The South Korean army that rushed to the position probably had an infantry battalion and a tank company, several K-type tanks rushed to the front, and the infantry followed behind the tanks on foot, and there were no infantry fighting vehicles in sight. Yang Meng changed his angle, and now there was a military truck parked about 500 meters north of the position.

Standard infantry?

Yang Meng was a little surprised, the South Korean infantry didn't even have armored vehicles, it was simply a standard infantry. You know, even the Airborne Forces are equipped with airborne combat vehicles, not infantry fighting on foot.

The soldiers of the 1st squad did not rush to fire, and everyone was waiting for the "signal" from the squad leader.

Just like the 153rd Airborne Brigade, the grassroots backbone of the Airborne 163 Brigade is the veterans, and the vast majority of the soldiers are new recruits. Long Xinqiang is a veteran transferred from the 153rd Airborne Brigade, and I heard that he participated in the Nong Hei Battle in the old war and killed many Vietnamese soldiers with a platoon. Whether this is the case or not, no one has confirmed. Only one thing is certain, Long Xinqiang is the core of the whole class, and he is the squad leader admired by every soldier.

The K tank roared and rushed less than 1C0 meters in front of Yang Meng.

When the muzzle of the gun turned to the firing point, Yang Meng retracted his head. When he raised his head, the current squad leader was still lying motionless on the missile firing position, and he didn't pay attention to the main battle tank weighing many tons at all.

Yang Meng got up and re-aimed his gun at the stick outside.

In Long Xinqiang's words, courage is not practiced, but fought on the battlefield!

The tank went farther and farther, and Long Xinqiang still did not fire.

Seeing the infantry following the tank pressing up, Yang Meng was anxious and turned his head to look at the squad leader.

Before he could react, a man-armed anti-tank missile was under high pressure

Push down the rocket to rush out of the canister, fly a few meters away from the point of fire after the rocket motor: accelerate the missile to Mach 2 in a few hundred milliseconds. The attacked main battle tank did not know what had happened, and the missiles had been concentrated in the tail of the turret.

Yang Meng was alerted by the whistling sound of the missile's flight, and the violent explosion announced that the battle had begun.

Within seconds, three more missiles whizzed down on the K-type main battle tank that rushed ahead.

Yang Meng took the opportunity to knock down a stick infantryman with a long point shot. Seeing the enemy falling, Yang Meng became excited, and he used all the bullets in the magazine to fail to kill the second enemy.

"Let's go!"

was dragged hard by Long Xinqiang, and Yang Meng fell into the tunnel.

Several bullets landed near the shooting hole, indicating that the enemy had already seen him.

"Squad Leader......"

"Keep up!"

When Yang Meng came back to his senses, Long Xinqiang had already disappeared into the dim tunnel. He didn't dare to hesitate, quickened his pace, and caught up with the squad leader along the tunnel.

"Squad leader, I killed a stick."

"See, next time remember to shoot in short bursts, don't waste bullets."

Yang Meng nodded vigorously, and Long Xinqiang's calm tone calmed him down a lot, and he was no longer so excited.

Coming to the second point of fire, Long Xinqiang killed the second K without mercy

Heavy mortars deployed behind the positions went into battle at this point, dropping air-explosive shells at the South Korean infantry following the tanks. Several airborne combat vehicles appeared at mobile fire points behind the position, took out the last K-type main battle tanks with heavy anti-tank missiles, and then fired at the South Korean infantry who had lost cover with 30-mm machine guns. Before the arrival of the ROK army's long-range artillery fire, the airborne combat vehicle quickly retreated into the large underground bunker prepared for it.

Having lost their heavy weapons and leaving only the infantry, the South Korean army began to retreat.

"Attention, shoot short, aim and hit, don't be late."

Yang Meng gritted his teeth, and the crosshair of the rifle was aimed at a fleeing South Korean infantryman. Without hesitation, Yang Meng pulled the trigger, and the 358-millimeter warhead caught up with the stick at a speed of 880 meters per second.

"Squad leader, I'll kill another one."

"Play well, keep trying."

Along with Long Xinqiang's words, there were three extremely short gunshots.

When the last ROK infantry escaped from the position of the 1st squad, the gunfire stopped.

"Squad leader, I'll take out two enemies." Yang Meng crawled over, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Yes, the first time I went into battle, I couldn't even figure out where the enemy was."

"Squad leader, how many did you kill?"

"I didn't count, if not ten, there were eight." Long Xinqiang said as he changed the magazine for the rifle. "Let's go, go back to bunker, maybe the Yankees will come and bomb us."

The first round of the South Korean attack was repulsed without any suspense.

After several minutes of shelling, the ROK infantry launched a second attack. By the time of the third round, the South Korean army had left hundreds of corpses and nearly 20 tanks on the position of Yang Meng's 2nd battalion, 3rd company, 1st platoon and 1st squad.

After three failed attacks, the ROK called for long-range fire support.

Through the surveillance, the South Korean troops were swarming to the north, and the brigade headquarters immediately ordered all units to enter underground bunkers.

The bombing came suddenly, but with little practical effect.

The B2, which took off from Guam, dropped two "super thermobaric bombs" with rocket boosters and gliding wings over the Glefly Islands south of Ganghwa Bay. The high temperature of more than 2,000 degrees Celsius swept through the defensive positions of the 163 Airborne Brigade, and the only places that were "hit" were the wreckage of the combat vehicles and the remains of officers and soldiers abandoned by the ROK troops on the positions. The officers and men on the defensive positions all entered the sealed underground bunkers in advance, and did not cause more trouble to the 163rd Airborne Brigade except that the scouts had to re-erect sensors and surveillance equipment after the bombardment.

At noon on the same day, the combat units of the 1st Armored Division of the US Army reached the north of Qinghe.

Compared with the ROK army, the US military was more fully prepared for artillery fire before the attack, and even during the attack, the US army's artillery fire did not stop, and it has been extending to the south, focusing on the mobile fire points of space combat vehicles and the deployment positions of artillery.

Although it was only a few hours, Yang Meng had already become a "veteran".

Because the Airborne 163 Brigade was not surrounded on all sides, the situation was completely different from that of the Airborne 153 Brigade of the Five Elders.

When the U.S. army began to storm Qinghe, the 772nd and 773rd Brigades of the 77th Army had already arrived at Dingfengli and were organizing and assembling to prepare to advance to Qinghe.

According to the operational deployment, the two rapid response brigades have only one task: to support the airborne 163 brigade and hold Qinghe.

Ling Yunxiao, who followed the troops again and rushed to the front, did not adopt the tactics of rushing to help, because the 77th Army was not a unit that was good at fighting positional defensive battles, but a unit that was good at fighting long-distance running battles.

The onslaught of the South Korean and American forces on Cheonghak is tantamount to exposing the left flank to the muzzle of the 77th Army!

130, the armored cluster where all the anti-tank guns of the armored battalion were concentrated came out of Ding Fengli and struck in the direction of Qinghe at the fastest speed.

It is not difficult to repel the enemy, but it is difficult to annihilate the enemy to the north of the blue crane
