Chapter 95 Military Soul

I don’t know if it was because the US military had lunch and nap time, or because they lost confidence in the bombardment, and in the following hours, the US military never launched another attack or shelled our positions.

It is said that the US military has to carry a blanket with them when fighting, and spread the blanket before lying down. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I believe it is true. Because the snow is too cold, it is not easy to lie down. Of course, this is nothing to the volunteers, but for those little flowers that can almost be said to be cultivated from the greenhouse, it feels completely different.

Americans! They have the romance of Hawaii, the prosperity of New York, the luxury of Hollywood, and the temptation of casinos. When did they experience the bitter and cold place that even peeing like now, they have to worry about whether they will be frozen. To be honest, the rain and mud that the US military suffered on the island during the Pacific War were nothing. Because at least they don’t need to choose the warmest noon of the day, otherwise you will be in danger of being unable to pull it out.

As a US military doctor said, all liquid injections will be frozen into ice. If you want to melt them before injecting them, you will find that the injections will form ice again as soon as they are inhaled into the syringe. For those wounded soldiers, it will be better if you ignore them because when you cut their clothes to treat the wound, you will soon find that they have been frozen to death.

But I didn't understand why lice can survive in such a cold environment. I lay in the shelter and basked comfortably in the sun, but the itch on my body made me feel upset. I couldn't help but grab it. After a while, I finally couldn't stand it anymore, so I took off my cotton coat and shook it... The big and small lice fell all over the floor. The scene made my scalp numb and my whole body had goose bumps.

At this moment, a correspondent suddenly rushed up from the back mountain with his waist and jumped into the cover and asked, "Comrade, where is Battalion Commander Xu?"

"Here!" Xu Feng waved to the correspondent when he heard the voice.

"Report to the battalion commander!" The correspondent soon ran to Xu Feng and said, "The order given by the regiment commander is that our army must hold its position for three days."

"Yes!" Xu Feng responded: "Comrade, please tell the regiment commander that my camp will fight to the end!"

Three days! I was stunned when I heard this. If this time was not long, it was not short in this battlefield filled with blood and sacrifice every moment. The previous battles only lasted seven or eight days, but this time we had to resist the three-day attack of the US troops armed to the teeth.

However, this is also the three days we must hold on, because this is the shortest time for the large army to be transferred from the 38th parallel to the designated position. If we cannot hold on, the US military will drive straight from here to disrupt the entire combat plan.

Looking at the soldiers around, they all looked indifferent when they heard this. Perhaps they were not afraid of sacrifice, or perhaps the two battles just now showed their confidence, in short, they still do whatever they should do.

Hu Zi rubbed the gun carelessly, and Xiaoshandong caught lice bored on his body like a monkey. Instructor Zhao sat on a stone and was writing something intently on the notebook. What was even more exaggerated was Zhao Yongxin. He lay on a pile of hay with a bamboo stick in his mouth, crossing his legs and humming leisurely...

This scene made me feel illusion that the soldiers were like in their own yard. After half a day of work, it was time to rest, and everyone gathered together comfortably to bask in the sun.

"rumble……"

At this time, the faint sound from the horizon made everyone stop the movements in their hands, and they all raised their heads to look at the horizon, but the dazzling sunshine made everyone see nothing.

"Enemy plane! Keep hidden!" Xu Feng shouted, and then quickly added: "Comrades, hurry up and enter the tunnel!"

Now I finally know why those US troops have been slow to attack.

The soldiers drilled into the tunnel one after another, and soon they heard bursts of explosions and vibrations from above. The two soldiers quickly sealed the entrance of the tunnel with sandbags that had been prepared in order not to let the flames of the incendiary bombs drain the air in the tunnel. In an instant, the tunnel was pitch black, and only a little light could be emitted from the vent holes.

The explosion sound and the strange roar of the plane came from above. All this seemed to be no different from the previous enemy's bombardment, but we all knew that the target of this bombing was mainly the back slope.

The places where cannons cannot explode are not the case for the plane. I couldn't help but think of the Mustang fighter that dropped the bomb into the tunnel. It seemed that there would be no blind spots for them.

Just as we were thinking about the sudden burst of heat coming from above, we realized that the enemy had used a fire bomb. Two fast-moving soldiers grabbed two handfuls of soil and often plugged them in the ventilation holes. The last ray of light was completely swallowed by the darkness.

The dull breathing and the hot air made me unable to help but speed up the frequency of my breathing.

The temperature in the tunnel rose sharply. When you touch the top of the tunnel, it was as hot as a red pot bottom. The flames burning outside turned the tunnel into a veritable stove.

I took off my cotton coat, wiped the sweat beads on my forehead and slapped myself with my hands, hoping that this would bring me a little coolness, but this seemed to not work at all. This time I finally realized what the so-called two-way sky of ice and fire is like.

The explosion stopped, and the two soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave quickly pushed open the sandbag. A wave of heat hit us and suffocated our breathing. First, what caught our eyes was a red flame, which was everywhere. When the cold wind blew, they were whirling, as if showing off their vitality to us. The snow that was originally covered in the mountains had already been dried up, revealing the red stones and soil underneath. It was not an exaggeration to call it the Flame Mountain.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers closest to the entrance of the cave were stunned and turned around and looked at me.

"Roll!" Hu Zi shouted inside: "You want us all to be blocked in the tunnel, or why?"

Hearing this, the soldiers gritted their teeth and were about to rush out, but I grabbed them.

"Go back!" As I said that, I pulled out a grenade without saying a word, pulled the string open and threw it out, and then lay down as fast as possible.

With a bang, the broken soil on both sides of the tunnel entrance was shaken down, and a small fire-free area was built at the tunnel entrance.

"Comrades, put out the fire first!" As I said that, I took the rifle in my hand back, picked up the engineer's shovel and rushed out.

After rushing out, I realized that the unbearable tunnel just now could be said to be heaven compared to outside. The scorching flames made my hair and eyebrows curled up, and the black smoke with pungent gasoline smell poured straight into my mouth and nose, which made me dizzy and dry mouth. The beads of sweat as big as beans slid from their foreheads to the ground, and the sizzling sound turned into steam...

But I don’t care about so much anymore. I know that on the other side of the mountain, the US troops in the brigade were attacking the top of the mountain while our army was blocked by gasoline bombs. We were fighting for time with them. Once they occupied the top of the mountain first, they set up machine guns, and we had not yet come out of the pit, or were still trapped in this small "fireless zone"...

The soldiers were obviously very aware of the danger they were facing. They all snatched out the tunnel to put out the fire, and they lined up in a row in tacit understanding, waving shovels to splash out the soil at the same time. In an instant, the earth and rocks rushed towards the fire like waves. The originally arrogant flames quickly lowered their proud heads.

The soldiers from other tunnels also snatched them out with shovels, and soon they broke out a dirt road on the Flame Mountain. But then I realized that the fortifications we had built had long disappeared, and the stones that could provide us with cover were either blown into pieces or burned like a fireball.

If the volunteers defended this place, not only would the activity area be small, but the ground was so hot that it wouldn't be able to lie down. Once the US military occupied the top of the mountain, shooting at us from a high point...

"Extinguish the fire on the mountain!" Thinking of me, I shouted at the soldiers, the backscene of the fire everywhere had lost its meaning of defense, and the only way out now is to seize the top of the mountain with the US military.

As soon as I reminded the soldiers, they quickly realized that dozens of soldiers immediately waved their engineer shovels to put out the fire in the direction of the top of the mountain.

Sixty meters!

The soldiers put out the fires very quickly, and the sand and soil dried by the fire were as crisp as cookies. The soldiers easily shoveled them up row by row, and the fire slowly retreated to the top of the mountain as the soldiers advanced.

But I know very clearly that no matter how fast the soldiers put out fires, they are not as fast as the US military.

Fifty meters!

My ears were filled with the whistling sound of the wind blowing fire and the clanging sound of the soldiers shoveling the soil and rocks. At this time, a few strange sounds suddenly came from the other side of the mountain, which made me realize that the enemy was coming, so I dropped the engineer's shovel and reached out to touch the rifle behind me.

"Continue to put out the fire in the first line! Second Company and Third Company are ready for combat!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded, and immediately many soldiers dropped their engineer shovels and raised their weapons.

Forty meters!

The enemy's footsteps were getting louder and louder. I glanced at the soldiers standing around and frowned. The ground was very hot, and my legs had to be replaced from time to time. The soldiers could not lie down to cover them, so they all stood with guns. At this time, if the enemy placed one or two machine guns on the top of the mountain, shooting down from a high point...

"There are all!" Thinking of me, I ordered again: "Don't save bullets!"

Thirty meters!

When the helmet of the first US military was exposed, I pulled the trigger. I heard a bang and didn't know whether it hit the helmet or the head. In short, after a while, the enemy's position did not move.

They wouldn't be scared like this! I was surprised to see this. Although the US military has a weak fighting will, it is not enough to be able to calm them with just one shot! Unless MacArthur shot that shot... Of course, I don't believe I have such good luck!

Seeing the fire-fighting soldiers pushing the fire up a few meters, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as the fire is extinguished, we will have the opportunity to rush up and fight with the Americans. At that time, we will be competing for courage and fighting for people. Then we can say, who is afraid of whom?

At this time, an accident happened. Rows of grenades suddenly appeared in the US military's position. Although the oval grenades were thrown far, they were winning because they were spherical and rolling. The US military just threw them across the ridge and rolled towards us along the slope!

"Let's go down!" I was so anxious that I could shout, and there was a series of explosions in front of the position. Before the soldiers who were extinguishing the fire at the top of the mountain had time to react, the grenades exploded, and the screams were heard in an instant!

Several soldiers were thrown up by the shock wave of the grenade and then fell heavily in front of us. They were already bloody and bloody. Some soldiers were lit by the flames splashed by the grenades, and soon became a fireman, screaming and colliding on the battlefield. Several even broke into the fire... More than 50 soldiers fell down at least half of them in one stroke, and only saw them bit my teeth.

But what surprised me was that the surviving soldiers only lay down for a while, and then got up and advanced with their engineer shovels.

Almost as the grenade exploded, the US troops on the top of the mountain emerged in rows, raising all kinds of weapons in their hands to shoot at the volunteers. In an instant, bullets poured towards the soldiers like raindrops, and many soldiers fell into a pool of blood in an instant. But the soldiers still bravely raised their guns to fight back. Fortunately, the fire spread to the top of the mountain, and the US military's forces could not be deployed on a large scale, otherwise the soldiers would have to be passively beaten.

Some soldiers who were extinguishing the fire in front discovered the enemy and drew grenades to throw them, but the US military had a condescending advantage. The grenades they threw were easily kicked back by them with a slight kick, which made the soldiers in a mess.

I raised the rifle in my hand and shot a few points, and knocked down one of the enemy's machine gunners, but I was soon suppressed by the enemy's bullets and couldn't raise my head. At this time, I didn't care about the hot land and threw the gun on the ground and fired it.

"Bang bang bang..." As a result, several US troops holding submachine guns fell down. The M3 submachine gun fired extremely high, and the firepower of these gunmen immediately became much smaller as soon as these gunmen fell.

The weapons in the hands of the Volunteers were also American equipment, and I also told them that they did not need to save bullets. In addition, the Volunteers' marksmanship is not comparable to those of the US military, so the Volunteers once again gained the upper hand.

But the US troops in front of them seemed to have seen hope for victory, or they did not want to give up the opportunity of us being trapped in the fire, and they also knew that the flames would always be extinguished, and it would not be so easy to deal with us. So they actually showed unprecedented bravery, fell down in front and rushed up immediately.

This seems to be the difference between new recruits and veterans. If they are at a disadvantage, they will rush to escape, but if they see victory in sight, they will rush forward again. Just like these US troops in front of them, they are now in a state of excitement.

The veterans will respond heavily regardless of their disadvantages or advantages, just like the volunteer soldiers who are still resisting tenaciously...

With a "boom!", a shell landed not far behind me. The rifle in the hand of a soldier lying beside me stopped firing. I thought he was dead, but what surprised me was that after a while I heard the crisp sound of gunfire coming from beside me. I took advantage of the time to change magazines and glanced at the side, and then I found that his legs had been blown off...

"Dadadada..." With a series of gunfires, a soldier who ran past me fell to the ground. There were several gun holes on his right leg. Perhaps he was hit by the artery and blood sprayed out. My heart sank. If he had not bandaged, he would soon die of excessive blood loss. But what I didn't expect was that the soldier used the easiest method. He took out a few bullets and stuffed the gun hole on his leg, and then picked up the submachine gun in his hand again...

Although some of the volunteers are recruits, I admit that I can no longer tell which recruits are recruits and which are veterans. Because these recruits are as brave as veterans and have the same tacit understanding as veterans!

I think this is the military soul. Every army has their own soul. This soul cannot be taken away and cannot be defeated. No matter who it is, if you join this army, you will soon be infected by this military soul, assimilated by this military soul, and soon become a part of this army!

"Comrades, for communism! For the new China!" At this time, a soldier jumped up in front of him. I recognized him as Huang Chuanyu, the company commander in charge of extinguishing fires in front of him. He shouted and rushed forward in the volunteer army. The US military was surprised. There was a raging fire more than twenty meters away in front...

Huang Chuanyu rushed forward like that, letting Huomiao climb up along his cotton pants, ignited the cotton coat, and then extended up to his shoulders. Soon he turned into a fire man, but the fire man still rushed up the mountain with extremely firm footsteps. The US military all opened their mouths and watched the fire man rushing towards them, holding a gun in his hand, but he didn't know how to shoot...

Immediately afterwards, the fire man disappeared into the admiring eyes of the volunteers. At the same time, dozens of American troops disappeared on the top of the mountain.

"kill!"

"Avenge Captain Coptis!"

Immediately afterwards, two more soldiers rushed up in flames...

The US military finally retreated. They were not defeated by us, but were scared away by the spirits of the martyrs.

When the flames of the fuel bomb went out, we climbed to the top of the mountain to find a little of the relics of the three martyrs, but nothing but a few charred organs.
