Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 126 A Sudden Encounter
"What the hell is this bastard doing?"

From spotting the plane to evading and dispersing, it took less than a minute.

This time seemed extremely short, but to Xu Qing and the others, it was extremely long.

Because the pirate fighter jet in the sky came aggressively, but it didn't launch an attack immediately, nor did it leave, but kept circling in the sky.

This figure that kept whistling back and forth, the huge fuselage carried an incomparable oppressive force, and the gleaming steel body made everyone feel as if their lives were hanging by a thread!
Even if the troops say that they are not allowed to attack the plane at will, the members of the Seventh Company still hold their weapons subconsciously. When their lives are threatened, only this gun can give them a little peace of mind.

"Wanli, Pinghe, can you hit it?"

Yu Congrong held the carbine in his hand. He was equally nervous, but eager to try.

"Hush, whisper..."

Xu Qing didn't answer directly.

But the index finger and middle finger are close together, and they have already pressed on the trigger guard.

The same is true for Ping He. The bazooka and American-style American light machine gun on his back have been quietly pressed against his chest.

The team of the Seventh Company wore white cloaks over their military uniforms, lying in the surrounding environment, not particularly conspicuous in this morning when the light was just lit.

But no one dared to guarantee whether the plane was found.

Everyone's eyes are the same, there is no relaxation, everyone's body is motionless but tense, once the plane attacks the ground, they will shoot immediately, looking for every possible opportunity to fight back!

wow wow wow...

The plane flew lower and lower, flying unscrupulously at a low altitude among the mountains and over the nearby woods.

The nose of its fuselage is slightly tilted downwards, and the tail is tilted towards the sky. It is even less than [-] meters away from the ground. The huge wind is pulling the snow dust all over the ground, blowing the branches and leaves flying around!
Everyone is not far apart, and everyone can feel the wanton cold wind.

"Flying so low, it won't work if you don't hit it!"

Yu Congrong was a little anxious.

The plane circled and roared in the mountains and forests, and would soon approach their hiding direction. Many soldiers lay on their stomachs only with ravines and bare tree branches, and there were no leaves to cover their heads.

The closer the plane got, the huge wind would inevitably lift their equipment and clothes, revealing flaws.

But Qianli hasn't blown the whistle yet.

It is impossible for Xu Qing to act alone. He made fun of everyone's lives. He lowered his voice while aiming at the cockpit and fuel tank of the plane:
"Wait a minute, wait for it to get closer—"

Woohoo! ! !
Just when Xu Qing was concentrating and suffering, ready to launch an attack at any time—the enemy plane suddenly changed direction, and it moved!
Ping He was expressionless next to him, but he had subconsciously picked up the machine gun, which was his fighting instinct.

But things didn't go as expected:
The whole body of the plane turned a corner above the woods, and suddenly headed towards the woods on the other side to the left, where there were several abandoned cars parked on the ground.

That's an American car.

But Xu Qing immediately picked up the binoculars, and faintly saw several figures lying on the car, which looked like corpses.

But he immediately found out that it was not, because these "corpses" still had brand new guns on their bodies, and there were some looted packages:

"There are our people over there!"

The plane had been circling just now, and the soldiers lay still, trying to hide, but the cotton clothes on their bodies exposed them!
Da da da da!
This pirate plane quickly turned the one-piece machine gun under its belly and shot towards the forest floor!

This moment happened extremely fast.

The plane rushed from one end to the other in a few seconds, and at the same time as it whizzed past, the swishing bullets quickly and violently shuttled through the woods on the ground.

Just as Xu Qing and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they found that the car and the surrounding ground had been smashed through, leaving only a wisp of green smoke from the forest...

"what to do……"

Yu Congrong, who was clamoring to shoot down the enemy plane just now, was also dumbfounded. He looked at the quiet mountain forest on the other side, and the plane leaving in the sky full of ambition.

His eyes are red.

wow...

Xu Qing got up from the snow nest, and the snow fell off her body.

He pulled the binoculars closer and looked over there for several times, but there was no movement at all: the roof of the car was completely shattered, the fuel tank was on fire in Ulala, and the flames swayed from side to side in the cold wind, making a piercing sound. Voices, but only the voices of no one came...

"Let's go..."

Everyone stood up one after another. This was an episode of their journey, and it was also the normal state of the battlefield.

The Seventh Company has increased its vigilance even more, because it is very likely that the next moment...they will be buried by the enemy's strafing.

Under the leadership of Wu Qianli, more than 100 people from the Seventh Company braved the cold and windy battle in the morning, and continued to trek forward from the nearest ravine quickly.

They walked for more than half an hour for the remaining one kilometer.

Because the planes in the sky are too dense, and they carry a lot of guns with them, they can only spread out as much as possible, stop and go and rush forward. Once they are discovered, there is no good defensive position, and it may be difficult to fight in a hurry. If you don't reach Dongshan, you may face the risk of annihilation.

The more they walked, the hands and feet of many people became swollen. The overnight freezing made them swell like steamed buns. Even though they wore thick cotton caps on their ears, they were still cracked by the cold wind and covered with thick blood eggplants.

And the situation of being injured in the battle is even more troublesome. Many people will tear their wounds as soon as they move.

Along the way, a large number of planes were constantly circling and investigating.

These enemy planes are not only near the position, but also in the wilderness several kilometers around, searching for our army's logistics supply line.

At this time, the morning fog has cleared, and the fighter jets in the sky can provide close support and cover with more power. More and more enemy planes appear, and the sky seems to be aroused by shells, like a one-sided massacre.

Xu Qing and the others were walking up and down the hillside. In just half an hour, they saw some soldiers carrying food packages on the snowy plain in the distance, falling down amidst the machine gun bullets and flames in the sky...

The Americans tried every means to cut off the logistical sources of the Volunteers, but this approach really hit the weakness. Many troops have a bag of fried noodles that can last for a week, but most of them have already eaten, and many teams have completely run out of food. .

But what to do if we still have to fight?
The soldiers could only bear with it, and if they couldn't do it, they could only search and pick up everything that could be eaten in the car on the dead American body.

A soybean, a jar discarded by the Americans, a cowhide belt...

These are all food.

But it also greatly increases the risk of exposure.

The soldiers who were shot under the US enemy plane just now probably died because of this.

As soon as Qilian approached the hills and mountains of Dongshan, he could immediately feel the intense artillery fire.

This area is located in the southeast of the outer periphery of Xiajieyuli, Changjin Lake. There are deafening tank shelling sounds all around from time to time, the hills are filled with gunpowder smoke, and there are raging wildfires in many places.

It was made from gasoline bombs dropped by airplanes.

Xu Qing and the others had just climbed the mountain, and they hadn't reached the main line of Dongshan they wanted to defend.

I saw that this small highland stretched down from high to low, and there were three or four larger saddle-shaped valleys, in which lay the bodies of some volunteer soldiers who had been sticking here.

Some fell from the mountain, some were stumps that were blasted by shells, and some died with the corpses of Americans, and they were still stuck together after death...

Many people glanced at it and couldn't bear to look any further.

The surrounding simple fortifications repaired overnight had already been blasted to the ground in the morning, and there was no snow on the hills here and there, only scorched soil remained. The soldiers went up the mountain and stepped on these scorched ground, and could even feel a trace of light under their feet. Unbelievably warm.

These are the blood-stained temperatures under the repeated bombardment of artillery fire.

And this temperature also shows that this place has just been bombed by artillery fire.

"Quick! Go!"

The Qilian stepped up and continued to advance upwards. There were still a large number of troops waiting for their support on the Dongshan Highland.

After bending down and groping up the mountain, the communications soldier in front immediately reported to Qianli: On the slope at the other end of the mountain, there was a company of US troops under the cover of eight tanks, quietly preparing to launch an attack.

"Are these Americans also starting to play roundabout tactics?"

Xu Qing quietly lay on the side of the hillside, watching these soldiers, the Americans pushing the South Korean soldiers to the front, bent over, holding guns, and groping upwards carefully one by one.

Obviously, whether these soldiers are willing or not, they are going all out to retake the high ground.

"The team guarding here should still be on the top of the mountain, and no trace of the enemy has been found here."

"How to do?"

"What can I do at this time, I can only fight."

Qianli commanded the Seventh Company to scatter and hide behind a pile of dead bodies nearby. He whispered: "As soon as their tanks fire, they will fight as soon as they are halfway up the mountain. They can't let them go to the top of the mountain by firing with the sound of cannons..."

They were quickly discussing the attack route, and suddenly a signal soldier made an emergency gesture on the ridge——

There is a situation!
It turned out that on the hillside on their side, among the pile of dead people lying down at some point, there was a slight movement on the "corpse" of an American, and there were fresh crawling marks on the ground around the "corpse".

The snow has just stopped in the sky.

They just checked the vicinity, and there is no such thing.

Apparently, the guy seemed to be lying there playing dead, hiding.

A soldier held a gun and wanted to go over to investigate, and the American who played dead immediately realized that he had been found.

"Corpse" quietly opened his eyelids, looking at the Chinese who surrounded him, he couldn't help but move.

Then the whole person rolled down from the ridge to hide his figure, while shouting to the other side of the hillside:
"Help! Chinese! There are Chinese people here..."

As soon as the American's shout sounded in the crowd of dead, Qilian's entire team fell silent for a second.

When Xu Qing, Qianli, Mei Sheng and others heard the voice, they all turned their heads in unison:

—they were found?
But everyone's combat quality is still very high, and the nearby soldiers immediately jumped up from the ground, rushing over to subdue him.

While the soldier was shouting, he was already raising his gun and shooting towards them, trying to scare them off.

"Get out of the way!"

Bullets rained down on the vicinity of the Seventh Company, and everyone scattered in all directions.

Xu Qing pulled Song Weiguo and fell backwards, rolling a few times on the ground, dodging a series of bullets.

Then quickly followed the others and aimed at the guy quickly:
Bang bang bang!
While that guy was shooting and shouting crazily, the surrounding soldiers quickly counterattacked, and a dozen rifles shot at him from all directions, half of which hit his chest.

"Chinese..."

The fellow was shot and fell, but his movement caused a great commotion.

"not good……"

Xu Qing just stood up.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw that almost a company of American soldiers at the foot of the mountain were also attracted by the gunshots, and they were all on emergency alert. Several platoons of the Korean army in front were driven by them to run up the mountain.

They heard gunshots, and they were about to fight!
