Chapter 333 Taking the Nameless Heights Part 2!
Enemy searchlights swept incessantly around the perimeter. The two men were discovered when they were only a dozen meters from their cover. "Rat-a-tat-tat..." The machine guns roared in, and the two quickly dodged to the side. At the same time, Zhang Haiyang's team swiftly returned fire, suppressing the enemy's attack.
Taking advantage of the moment, the two men didn't hide. They scrambled up from the mud and rushed towards the enemy's bunker. Bullets grazed their heads, and in a few breaths, they reached the bunker. With a bundle of pull-cord grenades in their hands, they pulled the pins, waited a few seconds, and just before they exploded, they quickly threw them into the machine gun hole of the enemy bunker. With a loud "boom," the entire bunker collapsed. The two men immediately scrambled into the trench on one side of the bunker, crouched down, and went to another bunker on the left. They did the same and took them down.
After resolving the issue, Ning Wei called the team members over.
"Quickly, everyone keep up, keep up!"
Zhang Haiyang was the first to climb out of the trench and run towards the forward cover, followed closely by his squad members, and then by the third platoon of soldiers responsible for the assault.
Upon arriving at the enemy's outer trenches, Zhong Yuemin said:
"Platoon Leader Li, you lead your troops to the left and charge forward, I'll lead my small squad to the right and charge in one go. Let's take this high ground quickly and decisively."
"it is good!"
Platoon Leader Li nodded, now having a completely new understanding of the reconnaissance squad's combat capabilities. He was deeply shocked. His platoon had charged into the enemy bunker so many times, suffering heavy casualties, yet they still failed to capture it. The enemy's two men had broken through in such a short time. It looked effortless at first glance, but in reality, it was fraught with danger. Their 'smooth' capture was definitely not due to luck. The two men's physical abilities were absolutely extraordinary; at least, he couldn't have done it.
"A poor soldier is one, a poor general makes a poor army." This isn't to say that Platoon Leader Li and his soldiers were incompetent. The enemy, with their strong fortifications and bunkers, and their superior position, was inherently easy to defend and difficult to attack. In this kind of siege warfare, you need several times the enemy's numbers to launch a strong assault; to put it bluntly, it's a battle of attrition. The hardest part of this kind of siege warfare is how to break through the enemy's impenetrable defenses. Once that's done, things become much easier.
Zhong Yuemin and Ning Wei were the 'sharp knives' that tore open this breach; Zhong Yuemin took the lead, advancing rapidly.
"Da da da!"
"Boom, boom!"
Flamethrower soldiers sprayed fire into the bunkers, and the enemy soldiers screamed in agony inside. One by one, "fire men" ran out of the bunkers. The machine guns swept across the area, and the air was filled with the smell of burning flesh. More than an hour later, the fifteen bunkers that the enemy had carefully built on the nameless hill were cleared one by one, and all the enemy soldiers were killed.
Thus, the nameless hill, which had been attacked for two days and two nights, was finally captured by our army. The third platoon suffered half of its casualties, and his small squad members had just sacrificed five men in the charge. He was heartbroken, but in war, there are always deaths.
There was no time for them to rest. The sounds of machine guns and artillery fire from Hill 3 not far away were incessant, clearly indicating that fighting was still ongoing. Zhong Yuemin immediately called over the communications officer.
"Communicate with Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and the others. We have taken the unnamed hill. Now we will attack from the south of Hill 3 and take it in one fell swoop."
The communications officer nodded and immediately notified the authorities that Wang Tiezhu and Man Tun had been sent to provide support.
"Platoon Leader Li, you lead your team to guard the area and reinforce the bunkers and pillboxes to prevent a counterattack from the enemy."
