The soldiers of the demining team seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and one by one they learned Zhang Caishu's movements and detonated all the mines they saw with long wooden poles.

After a continuous burst of explosions, the cleared minefield advanced several tens of meters, and the movements of the demining team continued to speed up.

The efficiency of demining was fast, but the method of detonation also made the movement in the minefield a little too great, and the continuous explosions alarmed the soldiers of the United Nations Army on the other side, and the enemy was not stupid, and immediately understood that someone in the volunteers was clearing mines, and the firepower points that were not knocked out in the artillery fire were resurrected.

The artillery fire of the volunteers was still bombarding, but in any case, on the enemy's positions on the opposite bank, relying on strong reinforced concrete fortifications, there were still some fire points that had not been killed.

Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, the sound of machine-gun fire could be heard from several directions, and before the sound could be heard, the dense bullets had already hit the minefield.

This was the enemy's blockade with fire, in order to prevent the volunteers from clearing the minefield, and in the dense rain of bullets like flying locusts, the fighters of the demining team were shot and fell.

Commander Wu Baoguang, who was nervously watching the ≤battle, slapped his arm violently in anger, and shouted loudly with a walkie-talkie: "The fire team covers, and the ambulance team will immediately snatch the wounded down." ”

The covering fire of the 346th Regiment immediately opened fire, and several Type 92 and Makqin heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, firing at the same time as the fire on the other side of the Imjin River.

The machine gun bullets fired at each other were as dense as a strong wind, and there was a constant popping sound of bullets hitting the ground next to them. The atmosphere suddenly became harsh, and the soldiers of the demining team were exposed to dozens or even hundreds of casualties every minute. Death - just around the corner.

Zhang Caishu in the minefield didn't seem to notice the rain of bullets flying from his head and around him, and he heard the voices of the Japanese-style 92-type heavy machine gun and the German-style Maxim very clearly. This is the equipment of the Volunteer Army, which is very different from the machine gun fire of the United Nations Army on the other side, and the clear length and short point fire let Zhang Caishu know that it was his comrades-in-arms who were covering themselves with firepower.

Dangerous? Zhang Caishu has experienced similar scenes countless times, and not every time he has survived, he doesn't believe that there are difficulties that our PLA troops can't overcome, and similarly, Zhang Caishu doesn't believe that there are tasks that he can't complete.

Zhang Caishu, who was in the rain of bullets, yelled and followed me, then rolled out of the crater and continued to move forward to clear the mines. The fighters behind him, like him, alternately took cover and advanced into the depths of the minefield.

At the same time, the fighters of the rescue team used various terrain as cover to quickly approach several soldiers who were shot and wounded, and wanted to carry them down, two of the wounded had already died, but the other few people said that they did not want to retreat, and one of the wounded pointed to the figure of Zhang Caishu in front of him and said:

"Our team leader is still in front, what's the matter if we withdraw down, we can't throw away the team leader, our 346th Regiment doesn't have such a bad soldier."

The wounded said nothing to withdraw. Even if they die, they will die on the position, they can't leave their squad leader alone, and the rescue team that has no choice but to give up the plan to carry them down, in order to make up for the lack of strength of the demining team. The fighters of the rescue group also took part in the battle on the spot.

Regiment Commander Wu Baoguang watched his soldiers crawling forward in the rain of bullets, and people kept being shot, and his eyes were red, and the soldiers of the demining team were all selected by themselves, and each of them was the backbone of the 346th Regiment. They are all veterans, and each of these veterans is a treasure in the regiment. Can't afford to lose.

Damn, the anxious head of the regiment Wu Baoguang came out of the command post. Running along the traffic trench, he soon ran to the heavy machine gun position responsible for covering, snatched a heavy machine gun from the hands of a soldier, and he wanted to cover his fighter to complete the mission.

When he was a soldier, the regimental commander Wu Baoguang was a well-known heavy machine gun shooter in the whole regiment, and the heavy machine guns were fierce, ruthless, and accurate.

"Don't save ammo, give me a hard beating."

Steadily pulling the trigger, the heavy machine gun in the hand of Regiment Commander Wu spit out a long flame, and the soldier who was robbed of the machine gun had no choice but to be the deputy shooter when he saw that the regiment commander had done it himself, and picked up the bullet chain with both hands.

Although the large force had not yet launched an assault, the battle of the 346th Regiment had begun ahead of schedule, and the fire of the enemy and us across the Imjin River was extremely fierce.

Now that the target has been exposed, Zhang Caishu no longer has any scruples, and the next battle can only be hard-working.

A series of mixed hair mines were detonated one after another, and the minefields that had been cleared extended forward meter by meter, and the violent explosion made Zhang Caishu feel that one of his legs and one arm was unconscious, his head was swollen, his mouth was salty, and all he spit out was blood when he coughed.

Was it hit by an enemy machine-gun bullet or exploded mine fragments? Or is it a strong shock wave? I don't know.

As a veteran soldier who has been in the army for many years, Zhang Caishu understands that he must have hung flowers, as for where and how he was injured, he has no time and mood to see and think, and there is only one belief in his heart at this time, and he must climb over.

Another string of machine-gun fire blocked Zhang Caishu's way forward, and judging from the angle and direction of the enemy's machine guns, Zhang Caishu understood that he had been discovered by the enemy, and the bullets flew over with squall gloss grazing his brain.

Zhang Caishu was a little anxious, this was an open land of more than ten meters, which had just been cleaned up by him and the soldiers, but at the same time as the minefield was cleared, he and the soldiers were also discovered by the defenders on the opposite bank.

If in normal times, a distance of more than ten meters wide is simply a joke distance, and you can pass it by running a few steps or rolling a few times, but now it can't, because Zhang Caishu must pass from this distance of more than ten meters, but the enemy has a heavy machine gun fire that is blocking him.

What to do? How to break through, Zhang Caishu's head kept thinking of a way, he was not afraid of death, death was the easiest thing, the key was how to complete the task, how to clean up the enemy's minefield, this was a guarantee to the regiment commander before the battle, and it must be completed.

Zhang Caishu's situation was clearly seen by the soldiers in the rear, knowing that he was blocked by the enemy, and the best way at this time was to provide support with their own firepower to suppress the enemy, but the opposite bank was filled with gunsmoke, the line of sight was unclear, and our artillery was bombarding, so it was difficult to determine the position of the enemy's machine gun preparation.

The enemy's firepower can't be suppressed, and Zhang Caishu still has to pass through this open land of more than ten meters, what should I do? Zhang Caishu's head was dripping with sweat, because his time was running out, and twenty minutes seemed to be about to blink his eyes.

A voice suddenly sounded not far behind Zhang Caishu: "Squad leader, squad leader, I have a way, I'll cover you and rush over." ”

Zhang Caishu looked back and saw that it was Zhao Zhenhai, a soldier in their squad.

Zhao Zhenhai and Zhang Caishu have been in the same class for several years, the two are very familiar with each other, and the relationship is also very good.

Zhao Zhenhai in the battle was not only his comrade-in-arms but also his partner, and all the auxiliary demining equipment was passed through Zhao Zhenhai.

The enemy's machine gun is impenetrable, what good way can Zhao Zhenhai do?

Just when Zhang Caishu was puzzled, he saw Zhao Zhen stand up from his hidden position and shoot at the enemy's fire point with the submachine gun in his hand.

Zhao Zhenhai was carrying a Tom-style submachine gun, with a limited range and a clear line of sight, it was impossible to pose any threat to the enemy's heavy machine gun positions on the other side of the Imjin River, and he did so for only one purpose, to use his body to attract enemy firepower and buy Zhang Caishu time to pass through the blockade line.

Zhao Zhenhai roared and charged forward, shooting with the submachine gun in his hand as he charged, and the enemy's heavy machine gun position immediately spotted him, and strings of machine gun bullets swept through.

Zhao Zhenhai, who was uncovered, only rushed out less than twenty meters before being hit by the enemy's machine-gun fire, his body staggered a few times and then slowly fell, and he glanced at Zhang Caishu's location before falling.

Zhao Zhenhai was sacrificed, and was hit by multiple large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets in succession, and a cavity of blood burst out, solidifying with the cold Korean land under him.

Zhang Caishu looked very sad, his teeth chattered, but now is not the time to be sad, if he doesn't seize these few seconds, his comrade-in-arms Zhao Zhenhai will die in vain.

Zhang Caishu skewered out, using an arm and a leg that was still conscious, and crossed the distance of more than ten meters in a few steps.

Including Li Yong and the squad, all the soldiers of the 346th Regiment were full of blood and eager to fly over to replace Zhang Caishu.

As time passed, the minefield more than 100 meters wide was about to come to an end, and Zhang Caishu visually measured that the distance was still more than 20 meters, that is to say, if he advanced another 20 meters, the entire minefield would be opened, and the task of the demining team would be completed, but in the flash of the shell explosion, Zhang Caishu saw a thin steel wire shining with dazzling light.

At this moment, Zhang Caishu suddenly heard that the artillery fire on his side was unusually dense, and the trajectory of the shells across the sky seemed to turn the air red, and the advice of the regiment commander Wu Baoguang immediately sounded in Zhang Caishu's head: "Lao Zhang, our troops have three minutes of preparation for the most intense artillery fire before the impact. ”

Zhang Caishu knew that the 20-minute artillery preparation time was coming soon, and he still had the last three minutes, but there were still more than 20 meters of minefield that had not been cleared.

Thank you guys for not giving up (to be continued......)
