On the road to Ping'an, there is a must-pass narrow pass on the waist of Wangmei Mountain. The two sides are 15-meter-high cliffs and a 140-meter-long road section that can only allow one car to pass at a time. Kolombets did not rush forward recklessly, as such a dangerous terrain must be guarded by stubborn Chinese troops.
Very soon, the tanks lined up one by one and fired their machine guns and cannons at the cliff. The sunlight at 3 or 4 pm made it impossible to aim through the sighting mirrors of the tanks facing the sun, with all sorts of light shining in. Fortunately, Kolombets only wanted to suppress. As white smoke formed at the mouths of the tank cannons, explosions soon erupted on the cliff, and large clouds of smoke enveloped the short cliff, sending rocks flying everywhere. Tianye and Lidaishi, instructors from the 2nd Battalion's 4th Company, were hiding behind the cliff in a bunker, happily chatting about how their battalion commander had been beaten until his face was blue and swollen. Although shells kept exploding above their heads, with dirt and debris falling onto their hair and collars, these were just minor issues that could be solved with a pat. What happened to the battalion commander after he was taught a lesson was what really mattered.
"Director, later the superiors really said that I'm not as good as others, and I went to provoke trouble and got beaten, it serves me right. I haven't even learned to be low-key as a person. You go and write a self-criticism for me." Seeing Li Dashi's concerned gaze, Tianye felt much more at ease. Since coming to this steel company, they hadn't had few victories, but also not few grievances! Especially since the company commander Li Dashi relied on his friendship with the commander of the assault fourth company Zhang Yu, he never put this bespectacled cultured person in his eyes. Just as he was about to say "yes" to him, he swallowed his words alive.
"Tank's coming, American tank!" the observer who ran over said anxiously. "Prepare for battle!" Li Daishi took off with a submachine gun and a 20kg explosive pack before he even finished speaking. The soldiers, ready to go, picked up their guns and grabbed explosive packs, explosive tubes, and other things, rushing outside. Tian Ye, who had just arrived a few days ago and hadn't received his assigned gun yet, was unarmed, so he picked up a thick explosive tube and rushed out, colliding with Li Daishi, who was running back. Li Daishi quickly stopped smiling foolishly, handed Tian Ye a submachine gun and several magazines, then took the explosive tube from Tian Ye without hesitation, turned around, and left.
Tianye was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed Li Daishi into the position. Looking at the tanks speeding by below, he excitedly grabbed his gun and was about to pop out and fire a few shots when Li Daishi's iron hand pulled him back. Just as he was about to curse, the American heavy machine gun bullets swept over the spot where he had just exposed himself, drilling into the earth with a "whoosh", sending mud flying everywhere. Tianye's face turned cold with sweat as he stared at the spot where the enemy's machine gun had swept by. He was about to thank Li Daishi when he saw him stand up, looking in the direction of the approaching enemy tanks, and throw down the explosive pack that he had lit on his hand.
Package after package of explosives, bundle after bundle of cluster grenades, explosive tubes and whatnot were thrown down in large quantities, the massive shockwave even causing the huge tanks to rock violently like small boats on a giant wave. As for the dozens of infantrymen loaded onto the tanks, they either got blown to smithereens or were shaken to death by the explosives, or were knocked off the tank and crushed into fresh human pancakes by the chaotic tanks! The US military, having cleared out the infantry, really found themselves in a desperate situation, like being trapped.
The leading US tank was surprised to find that the road ahead was blocked by abandoned tanks, and behind it was a huge obstacle made of stones, logs, and sandbags. When Colonel Kolombets looked out, he desperately found that all around him were Communist troops armed with guns, rocket launchers, explosive packs, and demolition tubes on the steep cliffs. The angle of the tank gun could not reach such a high angle, and operating the heavy machine gun required exposing one's body. After the last tank was hit by more than a dozen rockets, these 15 tanks were trapped here, unable to move or resist, and would be annihilated by the Communist troops if they resisted.
At this time, dozens of our soldiers carried explosive packs on their backs and quickly slid down the cliff with ropes. When a 20-kilogram giant explosive pack blocked the American army's periscope, the American army softened and decided to surrender. A few more stubborn American tanks were swept away by parallel machine guns after knocking down several of our soldiers, and soon they were blown up by 90 rocket launchers into a pile of curved steel plates constantly emitting thick smoke, or were blown up by 20-kilogram explosive packs thrown under the tank, "gut-wrenching" The shocked American army quickly ran out of their tanks and handed over every weapon on them.
The Fifth Cavalry Regiment, which had been annihilated once before, became a fat and juicy piece of meat in the eyes of Gaoquan after losing its armored forces. Because after losing the tank, this important firepower support point, the US military's defense at night would drop to a level that made people drool. At this time, Kolombets, Freeman, and Jack, the infamous "Three Scoundrels" of the US ground forces in Korea, happened to meet in a Chinese People's Volunteer Army prisoner-of-war camp, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Looking at Jack and Freeman, who were still in good spirits despite being a bit tired, Kolombets knew he wouldn't be in any trouble, so after the interrogation about his own battle was over, the exhausted him leaned against the wall and fell asleep with a snore.
"After reporting to the superior, the leadership agreed with my opinion. With 116th Division Commander Wang as the commander of the right-wing column, unified command of the 116th, 119th Divisions, two tank regiments and an artillery regiment under the General Headquarters, after defeating the US 2nd Division's 38th Regiment in Wenmuli, quickly advance to attack Yuanzhou. We must occupy Yuanzhou and continuously strike the enemy on the eastern line from the flank. I will lead the Independent 1st Division and the 125th Division to annihilate the Cavalry 5th Regiment first, then attack Ruizhou, also attacking the western enemy's flank, thus relieving our army's current passive situation of being bitten by the enemy. However, there is one thing to tell everyone: after receiving the retreat order, we must quickly and swiftly withdraw. If we are caught by the enemy, it will be bad." High Guangquan smiled with a pale face.
After the right-wing officer left, the regimental commander above the left wing remained quietly in the meeting room. Gao Quan, who was suppressing his pain with a twitching face and shaking body, stuttered and said: "This time, our brother unit, the 125th Division, suffered relatively heavy losses in previous battles. We will have our independent division launch a solo attack on Rui State, but first, we need to eliminate the infantry and artillery of the 5th Cavalry Regiment that is blocking our way. The 125th Division has gained experience from fighting, so I will dispatch our tank regiment and artillery regiment to support your attack. Meanwhile, our division's 2nd and 3rd regiments will encircle the enemy from behind, cutting off their retreat route. What do you think, Commander Huang?"
The excited commander of the 126th Division said, "Thank you for giving us such a big piece of fat meat. However, your complexion is so poor, you have to take care of yourself. If your body collapses, this battle will be very troublesome!"
Gao Quan was forcing a smile as the officers walked by, while Guard Zhang Xiaoshan fed him congee with a spoon. With a gulp, Zhang Xiaoshan said intermittently, "Commander, you should go to the headquarters hospital, or it'll be dangerous!"
"Ah, you silly kid," Gao Daquan said with a smile. "After I finish directing this battle, I'll go to the hospital. This little injury of mine is nothing, just need to tough it out and I'll be fine. And besides, in this lifetime, I haven't even held a woman's hand, Marx won't come to take me away." Then he started coughing violently again.
The dim oil lamp on the bedside table flickered on and off.
