After the artillery fire was extended, the 346th Regiment began to charge, and thousands of soldiers rushed up the big ice river with shouts of killing. ⊥ Top Novel, www.

The enemy's remnants of fire began to revive, and bullets rained down.

The open river was unsheltered, and there was no concealment to use, and the soldiers could only use their own flesh and blood to meet the enemy's bullets, and there was no turning back.

Constantly people were swept down by enemy bullets and fell silently on the icy Imjin River, and in the bitter cold temperature, their bones and blood quickly merged with the ice surface and could no longer be separated.

How many warriors fell on a foreign land? No one can say for sure, maybe the numbers will always be a mystery, and decades have passed, and the bones of many of them still don't know where they are buried, and they don't know where they are buried!! Deep in the mountains, in the dense forests, in the glaciers, or on the positions that have been ploughed countless times by artillery fire - the souls have returned, the warriors of the motherland.

The battle became more and more intense, and the previously intact ice was now full of ice caves, and some fighters lay on the ice and fought back with machine guns against enemy fire, but in a matter of seconds the cold froze them together with the ice, and they could not get up again.

Li Yong, who was attacking with the troops, was keenly aware of this problem, and he shouted loudly to the soldiers not to lie down and shoot casually, and to put a few handfuls of straw under their bodies while carrying out a fire counterattack, so as to effectively prevent the phenomenon of being frozen on the ice and not being able to get up.

It was only then that everyone realized that the straw that no one looked down on before was really a good thing, but they didn't expect it to play such a big role, not only wearing straw sandals to prevent slipping, but also preventing it from being frozen on the ice. A few handfuls of straw can save a life at a critical moment.

Transporting a large amount of straw to the front-line troops is Li Yong's construction, and the straw seems inconspicuous. However, it can play a big role, and Vice Minister Li, who has experience in later generations, certainly knows its benefits.

In order to be able to conceal their intentions as much as possible. The main attacking forces of the Volunteer Army entered the starting positions several days in advance.

With a low temperature of several tens of degrees below zero, it is not easy for a cat to hold out for a few days and nights in tunnels and trenches, and it is not possible to move lightly, not to mention that it is not possible to light a fire, and the troops cannot eat hot meals or drink hot water, and in addition to the lack of oil and water in their stomachs, the non-combat attrition caused by low temperatures has increased sharply.

Before the battle began, there was a massive attrition of troops, and this was worth it. The volunteers did not have modern equipment, nor did they have eiderdown sleeping bags to protect against the cold like the US army, so they had to use local methods to resist the cold, and straw was a good choice.

With a large amount of straw, the soldiers can spread a thick layer under their bodies, and burrow into the trenches and tunnels full of straw, which is very effective for keeping warm and resisting the cold. The scientific name should be a hamster) but no matter what, it is a good thing to work, as a great man of later generations said: no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the one who can catch a mouse is a good cat.

This is why Li Yong insisted on delivering a large amount of straw to the front-line troops before the war. It can protect against the cold when it is hidden, and it can save lives when it is fighting.

The troops moved forward quickly, and all the fighters understood. As long as we can cross this big glacier, as long as our steps can step on solid ground. Victory is in hand, but. The Great Ice River is really not happy, and the enemy knows this deeply, this is their best chance to counterattack, and it is also their last chance, and all the fire that can be revived is shooting at the charging troops.

The soldiers of the squad and the 346th Regiment were mixed together, charging on the big glacier, and the projectiles fired from the enemy's positions flew by, everyone had the possibility of being hit countless times every second, death became commonplace, and the bullets burst out from contact with ** was bright red blood, and the independent brigade had casualties again after recent years.

This is a thing that has no way, it is impossible to fight without sacrifice, the whistling bullets don't matter who you are, the soldiers are not afraid of death, but their brigade commander is also in the squad, charging with them, what if the brigade commander makes a mistake? How to go back and explain to the head of the headquarters, not to mention the head of the headquarters, even our political commissar can't pass the hurdle.

When the detachment set out from Shigatse, Political Commissar Wang Chengde said that he wanted to ensure that the brigade commander was foolproof, and if there was a mistake, he would ask several of their responsible company and platoon commanders to come to see him with their heads, but the current situation was really too dangerous and dangerous.

Company commander Li Yuming always ran in front of Li Yong with a few soldiers, using his body to cover his chief, even He Cuihua, the girl, charged silently a few steps in front of Li Yong, Li Yong knew that they didn't want to die, they were protecting themselves with their lives, but this was not a good way after all, the enemy's machine gun fire was looking for the place with the most people, and the more people gathered, the more likely they were to suffer greater casualties.

"Li Yuming, don't wander blindly in front of Lao Tzu, drag all the machine guns over."

There was a heavy machine gun squad in the squad, equipped with five Maxim heavy machine guns, and the soldiers of the machine gun squad were also in the charging team, but because of the heavy load, they and the artillery squad were dragged at the back of the line.

Li Yuming, who heard Li Yong's shout, hurriedly ran over and brought the machine gun squad over, more than 20 fighters and five machine guns were all there, there was no extra nonsense, Li Yong told the soldiers to immediately establish a firing position on the river, suppress the enemy's machine gun fire, and cover the charge of the troops.

The brigade commander had an order, of course, to carry it out immediately, and the soldiers in a hurry unloaded their backpacks and stacked them together as cover, and temporarily set up a heavy machine-gun position in the middle of the big glacier.

The disadvantage of the Makqin heavy machine gun is that it is too heavy, the whole gun weighs more than 50 kilograms, and it is not easy to carry when the troops are assaulting, but it is precisely because of its weight that the continuity and stability of the Makqin firepower are very good, and the firepower network composed of five Makqin heavy machine guns blocks an area of more than 100 meters.

The soldiers of the detachment were all veterans selected from the brigade, and the heavy machine gun shooters were also experienced veteran machine gun shooters, and the heavy machine guns were very aggressive and ruthless, and the accuracy was very high, and the strings of bullets seemed to suppress several enemy firing points, and the firepower of the United Nations troops on the opposite bank was significantly weakened.

This was a rare and good opportunity, Li Yong told the soldiers of the machine gun squad to find a way to hold on for two minutes, as long as they could hold on for two minutes, the sharp knife troops of the 346th Regiment would be able to break through and go ashore, and as long as the troops went ashore, it would be difficult for the enemy to stop the volunteers.

Rush, rush, the sharp knife troops of the 346th Regiment had already rushed through the center of the Imjin River, but suddenly several shells came in succession, blowing a big hole in the river surface where the 346th Regiment was about to break through, and several soldiers rolled down.

Veterans with battlefield experience can tell from the ballistics and the sound of the shells that this is the mortar fire of the enemy's forward troops, the remnants of artillery that are still left under the preparation of our fire.

Mortars are small-caliber guns, which cannot be compared with the power of those large-caliber heavy guns, but this kind of gun also has its own advantages, it is easy to carry, the firing speed is fast, and there are no dead spots for shooting.

It was these mortar shells that blew a large hole several meters long in the impact road of the 346th Regiment, and the river rolled out, and several soldiers who were close to the charge also fell headlong.

This was a sudden battlefield situation, and this was also taken into account in the pre-war meeting of the 346th Regiment, so the troops were still prepared, and I saw these soldiers who fell down the river shouting loudly: "Ladder, quickly lift the ladder over, quickly." ”

Immediately someone brought over a long ladder, one end at the other, and a simple battlefield pontoon was completed.

The ladder is a standing tool of the volunteer army, which can be used to build bridges and can also be used for urban fortification, which has a great effect, so when the troops are assaulting, they are carried by the troops as a backup.

In the rain of bullets, a simple pontoon bridge was erected, and the troops who rushed up quickly stepped on the ladder to quickly get to Guò, but at this time a difficulty that had not been expected in advance appeared.

Because the ice surface that was blown up was very wide, the span of the pontoon bridge was too large, and the middle part of the ladder was very unstable after being overloaded, and several fighters fell down again when they passed the guò.

A few soldiers who fell into the water set up ladders and were desperately climbing to the top of the ice, because the temperature was too low, and people could not last long in the water in the extremely cold environment, they had to climb up quickly, as long as they could climb up in time and change into dry clothes, they could continue to participate in the battle, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

There were also soldiers on the ice who were helping these soldiers who had fallen into the water, trying their best to pull them up, but these soldiers who were climbing on the surface of the soldiers saw the instability of the pontoon bridge and saw that someone had fallen again, so they pushed away the hands of their comrades on the ice, turned around and rushed towards the pontoon, and resisted the pontoon bridge with their shoulders in the biting icy water.

Resist, must resist, otherwise the big ice hole in the center of the river will pose too much threat to the troops in the charge.

The large army was quickly getting through guò, countless soldiers were passing from the pontoon bridge on their shoulders, and Li Yong and his squad also rushed over on the pontoon bridge, Li Yong seemed to hear the gurgling of the teeth of several soldiers standing in the water.

Deputy company commander He Cuihua turned his head and shouted while running: "Comrade, hurry up, I'll pull you." ”

Several warriors standing in the river did not say a word, but just motioned to the warriors on their shoulders with their eyes, leave us alone, hurry up guò.

Li Yong knew in his heart that these soldiers who only showed their heads were speechless, and they were using the last bit of strength of their lives to support themselves. (To be continued......) I527
