Chapter 424 Lack of Ammunition
Intermittent gunshots like setting off firecrackers came from the phone, and the caller was the commander of the first battalion, "Chief of Staff Hu, the enemy's artillery fire is very violent, all of which are large-caliber howitzers, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties. The consumption is serious, the firepower is not enough, the enemy has broken through to our army's forward battlefield several times, can you give me another [-] grenades, and we can hold our position."

105 howitzers, one howitzer can cover an area of ​​tens of square meters, the howitzers explode near the soldiers, and the air waves generated are definitely not bearable by the body, ten howitzers can cause huge destructive power, and the enemy's howitzers The ammunition continued to flow, bombarding the position, causing heavy casualties to the first battalion.

Many established troops have been destroyed, and there are only a dozen or so soldiers standing firm on the ground, while the enemy has a large force. With the arrival of reinforcements, the enemy's attack and firepower have become more and more fierce, not much worse than yesterday's firepower .

After hearing this sentence, Chief of Staff Hu understood everything. The situation ahead must be very difficult. Rare impatience and melancholy appeared on his face. Chief of Staff Hu immediately realized that as a commander, the expression on his face at this moment It will have an impact on his subordinates, so he immediately restrained himself, calmed himself down, and said firmly:

"Okay, no problem, I'll solve it for you right away, but listen carefully, you must not lose your position!"

On the other end of the microphone, Battalion Commander Li's tone immediately became more excited, and he said, "Thank you, Chief of Staff Hu, please rest assured, and please tell the regimental commander, our first battalion will definitely be able to hold the position!"

As soon as the phone was cut off, Chief of Staff Hu said to Commander Pang: "The situation in the first battalion is already very difficult. From the start of the battle to the present, only the third battalion has given them some ammunition. It's gone, he wants a hundred grenades now."

Commander Pang frowned. Now there is no extra ammunition at all, not to mention the [-]th regiment, from the military supply warehouse of the division headquarters to the grassroots company. Mobile warfare consumes a lot of ammunition and food, and At this time, the fourth battle had just ended, and the material storage had declined.

The hardships need to be overcome. The commanders and fighters of the [-]th Regiment were very aware of the current situation of the [-]st Battalion. Commander Pang immediately walked up to the messenger and said, "Go and gather all the directly subordinate teams, including the guard squad, and run forward! "

"Yes!"

The messenger saluted Commander Pang, turned around and ran out of the regiment headquarters.

Commander Pang said to Chief of Staff Hu: "When they arrive, you will unload all the grenades on them and send them to the first battalion."

Chief of Staff Hu thought about it, and said, "Regimental Commander, let's forget about the guards."

Commander Pang shook his head: "Forget it? No, we're not a division headquarters here. Why do we need such high-level guards? The front line needs support, and the position is the most important and most critical. Everything is based on the mission, so it's decided. "

Seeing what Commander Pang said, Chief of Staff Hu couldn't say anything more, and immediately walked out of the division headquarters to arrange this matter.

After receiving the order, the comrades directly under the team quickly unloaded all the grenades on their bodies, and some people helped gather the grenades one by one and put them into the wooden grenade box.After the box was sealed, there were 20 grenades in total, and there were more than [-] grenades left on the ground. The direct subordinate team pulled out some people to carry [-] grenades, and immediately ran towards the first battalion.

There were three hundred grenades, two hundred more than Battalion Commander Li had expected. As soon as he received the grenades, Battalion Commander Li ordered the grenades to be delivered to the position. The battle was fierce on the position. The shells bloomed on the position, especially the 105 howitzer. When a howitzer landed on the position, it was like a huge stone falling into a calm lake. position.

It is mainly located around the impact point of the howitzer shell, and it will be blown out by the air wave, causing serious casualties.

The enemy's attack became more violent, and the ammunition consumption of the soldiers on the ground became more and more serious, and some soldiers were already out of ammunition.A series of positions, the three platoons were in a hard fight, Wang Xiaoliang's ammunition was exhausted first, the magazines popped out, and then he touched the bullets on his body, the bullet bag was empty.

Wang Xiaoliang shouted: "Squad leader, I'm out of bullets."

Tan Zhanbiao was fighting fiercely with a dozen foreign devils. These foreign devils did not charge blindly. They knew that they used the impact points on the ground to cover each other and attack the volunteers' positions. Under the fairly orderly attack, the enemy's offensive line of defense is slowly advancing.

The pressure on the battalions of the [-]th Regiment can be imagined.

Xia Yuan shot at the enemy one by one, forcefully relying on his own strength, hitting the enemy in front of him so hard that he dared not stick his head out. At a distance of [-] meters, for Xia Yuan, achieving a headshot with a gun is just like drinking As simple as a sip of water, he seems to have reached the point where the gun is one. Aim and pull the trigger, turn around, and pull the trigger. Every gunshot represents the death of a life.

This situation was seen by Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao. With Xia Yuan alone, their pressure was greatly relieved.

"Fight well, this kind of marksmanship is really good, shoot wherever you point, why haven't I seen Xia Yuan show his shooting talent before."

Instructor Shao changed the magazines and said happily, after this battle, Xia Yuan will most likely be promoted. In the past, Xia Yuan had meritorious deeds, and he made many mistakes of acting without authorization during the battle. Not only is it better now, the battle Levels straight up.

Company Commander Lei was also very excited and said, "In this way, the pressure on us will be reduced a lot."

"We can't take it lightly. The enemy's artillery is very powerful, and it is very likely that we will bombard our position."

Instructor Shao kept a calm head: "Fortunately, Xia Yuan destroyed the opponent's walkie-talkie soldiers, which prevented the attacking enemy from calling the artillery in the rear."

Knowing that the enemy's shells are powerful, Xia Yuan has been staring at the enemy carrying the walkie-talkie, giving priority to shooting them. If the enemy's shells fall, the dozen or so of them may be swallowed by the enemy's howitzer salvo up.

"The enemy's howitzers are very powerful, and they will not fire blindly, otherwise they will hurt their own people."

Xia Yuan's confidence comes from here, and the facts are similar to what he expected. The ten howitzers of the US military all have a fixed shooting target, and they will not shoot blindly. Blind shooting is uncontrollable, and it may fall on themselves. among people.

In this way, large-caliber artillery shells cannot hit them, and small-caliber mortars are not a big threat. The enemy's attack is controlled by Xia Yuan, and the frontal attack is weakening. If the enemy is unable to attack several times in a row, the casualties will increase sharply, and the morale will naturally be low, which will lead to a decline in combat effectiveness.

The third wave of the enemy's attack retreated, and before they could take a breath, the enemy's attack came up again, which made Xia Yuan's heart thump. There are four magazines left, and there are five bullets left in the magazines in the magazine, but the enemy's fortifications are becoming more and more fierce.

Mortars and howitzers roared deafeningly at the same time. A few miles away, several heavy machine guns of the enemy actually shot over from a long distance, and the swishing bullets hit the position like raindrops.

"The enemy has changed tactics!"

Xia Yuan was startled immediately, and Hawkeye activated. He saw the slope on the opposite side, where the U.S. military built a simple fortification. The heavy machine gun with welded steel plates was mounted on the fire point built with sandbags. Sweeping, it landed perfectly on the 336.8 high ground. The bullets of the heavy machine gun were like raindrops, falling on the position, and the dust splashed and hit the soldiers' heads.

The heavy machine guns of the U.S. military have a long range and a very high rate of fire. They can shoot long-rangely, and there is no need to lift the heavy machine guns to high ground.

Lieutenant Lei was squatting in the trench, with the mud constantly falling on his head, he stretched out his hand and patted it, and said, "The enemy has really changed their strategy, this is using the machine gun as a cannon."

Wang Xiaoliang, who was checking the number of bullets with the gun in his hand, raised his head and asked curiously: "Company commander, how can a machine gun be used as a cannon?"

Liu Tiezhu said: "Stupid, the machine gun is mounted on the artillery position, and the machine gun is regarded as a cannon."

"Company commander, the enemy's mortar position is only two miles away from us. It's already afternoon, and it's getting dark. It's hard for the enemy to support two more attacks. I think, when it gets dark, let's go to attack the US army Mortar positions."

Xia Yuan used his eagle eyes to observe the machine gun positions built by the enemy a few miles away, and said, "Try to destroy the enemy's artillery positions, and destroy those machine guns by the way."

"When the battle is over, I'll talk to the battalion commander."

Captain Lei patted the dust off his hat, poked his head out cautiously, looked into the distance, and couldn't help saying: "Grandma, these foreign devils are really in a hurry, how long has passed, and they launched an attack again. "

A shell exploded on the position, and the dust rolled up by the shell rolled with the air waves. Instructor Shao straightened his hat and said, "The enemy just doesn't give us time to breathe. I don't have much ammunition on me, and you probably don't have much ammunition." Not many, these foreign devils probably know the situation we are facing now, and don’t want to give us any time to replenish ammunition, and when our ammunition is exhausted, the enemy will be able to occupy the 336.8 highland.”

Captain Lei said in a calm voice, "We can't let them occupy the position, we must hold the position."

"Company commander, I'm going to pick up ammunition!"

A soldier held a gun with the butt of the gun on the ground, and volunteered to say.

"No, it's too dangerous, the enemy has already come up."

Captain Lei vetoed the soldier's idea on the spot.

Big Ma ran over with two soldiers: "Company commander, company commander, battalion commander sent us ammunition, so many grenades."

The three of them held grenades in their arms. There were quite a few of them. They were placed on the ground and made a crisp collision sound. There are some bullets left, and the bullets have limitations. Once the enemy gets down, it is difficult to shoot, which will cause waste, and it is difficult to suppress the enemy.

The grenades are different. Everyone knows Xia Yuan's ability to throw bombs. These grenades can play a huge role in his hands.

"How is the ammunition consumption of your platoon?" Captain Lei grabbed two grenades, handed them to Wang Xiaoliang behind him, and asked Big Ma,

"It's all gone, just by touching the enemy's corpse, some soldiers have changed their weapons, and their guns are out of bullets."

Big Ma grinned: "Damn, this time I didn't even have a chance to touch the corpse, even the long grenade was sent to you, can you share it with us, and Lao Chen, their situation is not good .”

"These grenades are the reinforcements given to our company by the battalion commander. What we want is that we distribute them equally."

Instructor Shao said, divided the grenades into three piles, pointed to two of them, and said, "Hurry up and send these grenades to the third row, they also need these grenades very much."

"Yes!"

The big horse left in a hurry.

As soon as he left on the front foot, the enemy came up on the back foot. Everyone took the grenades and quickly spread them out. Each of them took two grenades. There were thirteen grenades left on the ground. Lieutenant Lei stuffed them all at Xia Yuan, saying: " You can throw it far and accurately, these grenades can play a much greater role in your hands than ours, throw them towards places with many people, and throw them accurately."

"Company commander, don't worry, with me here, the enemy can't rush up!"

Xia Yuan held the grenade with a serious expression on his face.

"Old Yang, you follow Xia Yuan and be his deputy."

Instructor Shao said again.

"Yes!" Lao Yang nodded, took some grenades from Xia Yuan's arms, and the two of them, one behind the other, passed through the traffic trench and ran to the forward position.

"Xia Yuan is under a lot of pressure. Let the two of them be the first line of defense in the forward position. Facing the most violent attack of the enemy, I don't know if they can hold it."

Captain Lei said with emotion.

Instructor Shao looked at the backs of the two exercising and said, "We have to trust him."

There are only a dozen people left on the ground, and the next wave of enemy attacks is coming. Xia Yuan thought of a way, let him stick to the forward position, so as to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible, and let Company Commander Lei and the others fight to collect the forward position. Ammunition between rear positions.

It is not enough to have grenades alone, grenades will always be lost one day, and bullets are also essential. Although bullets are not as good as grenades in some aspects, in battle, bullets still play a more important role than grenades. They are still Ammo needs to be replenished.

"Take people, go!"

The heavy machine guns placed by the enemy at a very far distance can provide long-range firepower coverage, but it is almost impossible to hit the target accurately. With such a distance, there are too many factors to consider. , During the flight of the bullet, the ballistic deviation will also occur due to wind resistance, and it is not known where it will fall.

The enemy's machine gunners also understand this. They can only shoot uninterruptedly. Maybe a lucky bullet will hit the Chinese.
