Southeast of Yunshan, three-way intersection. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The road here is a very ordinary country road, to put it bluntly, a dirt road. The roadside is wasteland and farmland, with a small number of buildings. Because of the open terrain and convenient transportation, it was selected as the meeting point for the retreat of the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the US Army.

The 2nd Battalion of the 8th Regiment was the first to retreat to build a position, but its commander, Lieutenant Colonel Walton, arrived with only one company of heavy firearms, and the other companies were lost due to enemy infiltration.

"Damn it, these yellow-skinned monkeys are crazy!"

Lieutenant Colonel Walton was one head and two big, and he really didn't expect his opponent to dare to penetrate his own depth with weak equipment. As far as he had received, the enemy had sent a large number of platoon-sized troops to constantly test his defensive line, and when they found a gap, they rushed in.

After nine o'clock in the night, the first quarter moon appears in the sky. Compared to the claustrophobic interior of the city, the open environment outside the city allows for a blurry view of hundreds of meters away. Outside Lieutenant Colonel Walton's position was full of shadowy men, some American soldiers, some Southern Stick soldiers, and some enemies.

For the bold interspersing and division of small units of the Volunteer Army, the US military that encountered this for the first time was very uncomfortable. Judging from the experience of the European theater, shouldn't we put ourselves in a position to fight a war? What's it like that?

If a small group of U.S. troops were running around like this, the commander would immediately lose control of his soldiers, even if their communication capabilities were much stronger, but the situation would become extremely complicated. But the volunteers obviously did not have such concerns, and tried their best to mix with the enemy in a roundabout way, interspersed, and tried their best to mix with the enemy.

Because the enemy and the enemy were unknown in the dark night, the position of the second battalion of the US army was almost broken through by a small force of the volunteers. Still, more than a dozen grenades were thrown into the position, injuring several American soldiers and setting fire to a troop truck.

"Shoot all the shells for me, and from now on there will be no restrictions on the use of ammunition." Lieutenant Colonel Walton was so angry that he ordered the mortars of the heavy firearms company to attack with full firepower, targeting the enemy who were harassing him near his position.

The M16 half-track anti-aircraft vehicle is armed with four M2HB heavy machine guns, which are extremely ferocious when fired, and can break the infantry at a distance of several hundred meters, sweeping almost everything.

"Yes, that's it! Kill these yellow monkeys. Lieutenant Colonel Walton breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of the guns and cannons, and he used the M16 anti-aircraft vehicle as a fixed point of fire, like a big broom, to clear almost all the harassing fire outside the three-way intersection.

In addition to the anti-aircraft vehicles that were fired flat, Lieutenant Colonel Walton also collected several tanks one after another. This made his defensive line more solid, and he basically held his ground. With just one salvo, these heavy fires can completely defeat the enemy's attack.

On the other side, the 347th Regiment of the 116th Division of the Volunteer Army also hoped to take the three-way road in front of them to control the enemy's escape. The first battalion of the 347th Regiment was responsible for the main attack here, and they took advantage of the darkness to approach here, but now the whole battalion was suppressed by the enemy's fierce fire in the wilderness outside the three-way junction.

"Hey, hey, a lot? Where the hell did you hit? "In the temporarily established battalion headquarters, the battalion commander and other personnel of the first battalion were at a loss to meet the wired telephone commanding the battlefield. All three of their companies dispersed, but the offensive was not smooth.

"Battalion commander, I just received a report from the regiment headquarters that the second battalion of the regiment has been attacking Yunshan City from north to south, and they have taken the enemy's outer defense line.

The 3rd Battalion followed the 2nd Battalion and reportedly spotted a company of American howitzers trying to annihilate them. The regimental commander is now asking when we will take the vital three-way crossing? ”

The report of the communications staff officer made everyone in the battalion headquarters feel hot on their faces, and the battalion commander was even more angry and wanted to scold. The attacks of their colleagues were smooth, but they were now more than a thousand meters away from the target, and the three companies on the front line failed to open the situation.

"I'll take the battalion headquarters to connect it." The deputy battalion commander took the initiative to ask.

The battalion headquarters company is the reserve, the last resort of the first battalion. It is usually used when the results are extended or when the situation is bad.

The commander of the first battalion shook his head, frowned, and said: "Concentrate all the mortars at the disposal of our battalion headquarters, and use half of the shells we have on hand to blow up the enemy's positions, especially the enemy's heavy machine gun positions." ”

The M16 anti-aircraft vehicle acting as a fixed point of fire is really terrifying, and this thing strafes a large area as soon as it fires, which is more annoying than a tank that fires at it one by one. The 1st battalion did not know at all that it was facing a maneuverable anti-aircraft vehicle, they only knew that the enemy's heavy machine guns were unexpectedly strong.

The same battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Walton of the US Army can mobilize a large number of heavy firepower weapons, tanks and artillery can be used casually, and there are planes back to support at dawn. But the battalion commander of the Volunteer Army used 82-mm mortars at most, and there were not many shells, so he was reluctant to do so at all if it was not at a critical moment.

But now is the moment of truth!

The first battalion organized three 82-mm mortars and six 60-mm mortars, and dozens of shells fired at the US positions at the fork in the road. The continuous explosions made the GIs in the position scurry, and this insignificant firepower made them feel like 'bullets raining'.

"Remove the anti-aircraft vehicles at the front, those yellow monkeys have their eyes on them." As soon as he saw the impact point, Lieutenant Colonel Walton knew that the enemy was going to take out the most ferocious machine-gun fire in his hands. He couldn't help but scoff: "Do these indigenous Asians think we are idiots? I'll teach them a good lesson. ”

As soon as the mortars in the rear sounded, the three infantry companies of the Volunteer Army at the front immediately began to attack. This is all a tacit cooperation formed by years of combat and training, and the army of the turtle relies on its tactical superiority to make up for the disadvantage of its equipment.

But the infantry on the front line only rushed up a few dozen meters, and the heavy machine guns on the American positions opened fire again, and those M16 air defense vehicles were not killed at all. As soon as their fire was fired, the warriors who launched the attack were immediately beaten with flesh and blood, and corpses were scattered everywhere.

The commander of the first battalion holding the binoculars suddenly burst into flames. The deputy battalion commander was also heartbroken, and the soldiers in front of him were killed one by one without even touching the edge of the enemy's position.

"Now, shoot all the remaining shells for me. Our warriors cannot be allowed to die in vain. "The battalion commander did not give the order to retreat, but took advantage of the moment when his soldiers were attacking, and used artillery shells to kill the enemy's exposed fire points.

Although it is helpless, this is to exchange the lives of your own soldiers for victory. The deputy battalion commander also immediately confirmed this order with a cold face, and now it is a matter of fighting for consumption - the enemy consumes ammunition, and we consume human lives.

Ci is not in charge of the army, and he must sacrifice ...... when it is time to sacrifice.

Just when the commander of the first battalion was desperate to take this crucial three-way intersection, he suddenly saw a burst of fire in the telescope, and about three or four seconds later, he heard a loud roar in the distance - an M16 half-track anti-aircraft vehicle that was firing violently was inexplicably blown into the sky!
