Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 72 The Best Candidate

"We were deceived. Just now, the Chinese army's homemade grenade with a wooden handle that was thrown around us from above was a fake. It didn't explode at all. Our battalion commander, Major Thomas, was killed by a member of the Chinese army on the top of the mountain." The sniper was killed, so we have to be more careful not to make fearless sacrifices.

"I am Captain James, and I am the supreme commander here. You must obey my orders now. I order all of you to quickly find a nearby bunker and hide, and you cannot fight the Chinese army on the top of the mountain. .”

Among the American soldiers on the hillside, there was a captain and company commander named James who was very vigilant. He hurriedly called out to the American soldiers who were in chaos and hid nearby, speaking in standard American English. issued his order.

The American soldiers, who were in a panic, gradually regained their calm. According to the instructions and requirements of the American company commander, Captain James, they all hid behind some earth pits and large rocks nearby, so as to avoid the danger on the top of the mountain. The Volunteer Army's three companies and one row of soldiers fired fiercely.

Even so, when the U.S. soldiers were taking advantage of the chaos just now, the three companies and rows of soldiers of the Volunteer Army ambushing on the top of the mountain made a rough estimate and killed and rewarded no less than [-] U.S. soldiers. The American soldiers who tried to capture the top of the mountain dealt a heavy blow.

If it is said that the biggest blow to the American soldiers is that Sun Lei shot the headshot of their supreme commander, the major battalion commander named Thomas, which led to the appearance of this American soldier team. A leaderless situation.

However, at this critical moment, an American captain and company commander named James suddenly appeared in the middle of the US military team and stepped forward to replace the battalion commander of Major Thomas who was shot dead by Sun Lei. He is now the supreme commander of the US army that has paid a lot of casualties.

After less than a minute of the chaotic scene just now, under the effective command of Captain James, the remaining US soldiers with less than 1 people began to organize an effective counterattack on the spot, which made the volunteers three in a row. Platoon leader Liu Sanshun felt a headache.

However, the three companies and one row of soldiers of the Volunteer Army ambushing on the top of the mountain saw the half-hill slope more than 50 meters below them, and suddenly threw a bomb they were carrying down from a distance of more than [-] meters beside them. The wooden handle grenade fell among the American soldiers hiding behind the big rocks, causing great panic among the American soldiers who regarded their lives as very important.

Immediately, these soldiers were surprised and delighted, because in their entire three companies, there was only one person who could throw a grenade at a distance of more than 50 meters, and that was Sun Mancang who had just sacrificed not long ago. Besides, looking at their entire third company, there was no second person to come out.

In the military project assessment before crossing the Yalu River to fight in North Korea, it is considered qualified to throw a grenade if the distance reaches 30 meters. The soldiers of the third company of the Volunteer Army, whether they are veterans or recruits, in the assessment of throwing grenades, except for Sun Mancang No one else can reach more than 50 meters.

Therefore, after Sun Mancang's heroic sacrifice, the three companies and one row of soldiers of the Volunteer Army ambushing on the top of the mountain could only shoot when they attacked the American soldiers on the half-hill slope below 50 meters away. , did not use grenades to attack.

The most important reason is that both the platoon leader Liu Sanshun and the ordinary soldiers in the platoon thought that even if they threw grenades at American soldiers more than 50 meters away, they would throw them more than 40 meters away at most.It does not pose any threat to these American soldiers at all.

The wooden-handled grenades they carried, as well as the American-style grenades seized from South Korean soldiers earlier, could not be used at this time.

However, when the soldiers in the third company and the first row of the Volunteer Army witnessed Sun Lei, they threw the wooden handle grenade that had exploded long ago, quickly, far and accurately, to the American soldiers who were more than 50 meters away from them. In the middle, they, who had looked down on death one by one, suddenly saw a glimmer of life.

In addition, after Sun Lei fired that shot, he shot and killed Major Thomas, the battalion commander of the 100-strong US army, exposing his location, and immediately became one of those One direction for the hidden American soldiers to attack.

In an instant, bullets were constantly flying "swish" over the small pit he was guarding. If at this time, even if Sun Lei's head was slightly exposed from the pit, he would surely be shot. pierced by these bullets.

In desperation, Sun Lei could only obediently stay in this small pit, never daring to show his face again.And the American soldiers who kept shooting from the half-hill slope to the small pit on the top of the mountain also carried several American grenades, but they didn't use them.

It has to be said that in terms of the throwing distance of the grenade, not only the soldiers of the Volunteer Army cannot throw it more than 50 meters away, but none of these American soldiers who participated in World War II can meet this standard and requirement, so naturally I don’t want them The American grenade he carried was wasted in vain, and he could only shoot to suppress Sun Lei who was hiding in the small pit.

Liu Sanshun, the platoon leader who stayed on the top of the mountain to direct the operations, felt at this moment that just by killing one of the top commanders of the US military, he could only temporarily plunge this 100-strong US military team into chaos.

After all, if a major and battalion commander in this US military team is killed, there will definitely be a captain and company commander. If this captain and company commander is killed again, then there will definitely be a lieutenant who will be in charge of commanding the battle. , if it develops like this, when it is too big, it will become useless.

Thinking up to this point, Liu Sanshun wanted to secretly make a bold decision, that is to completely wipe out this remaining US military team with less than a hundred people.

Even if they can't be wiped out, they still need to destroy their vital forces, so that they must make a decision when they retreat in spite of the difficulties, either die here or choose to surrender.

As for the people who can realize Liu Sanshun's idea, apart from Sun Lei, there are still more than a dozen volunteers in three companies and one row, and I am afraid that there will be no second suitable candidate.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Sun Lei is the only best candidate to realize Liu Sanshun's bold vision, which is beyond the reach of anyone except him.

The reason why the soldiers of the Volunteer Army’s three companies and one row did not know that Sun Lei could throw a grenade at a distance of more than 50 meters after witnessing it with their own eyes. The agreement, no one knew at the beginning.

Otherwise, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army's three companies and one row would have handed over the various grenades they carried to Sun Lei, and asked him to blow up the more than 100 American soldiers who were trying to occupy the top of the mountain.
