Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Chapter 80: Fierce Battle for Highland, Sharp Contrast of the Results of the Two Highlands

Although He Daming is an atheist, after experiencing a time travel, he actually began to believe in this incredible phenomenon.

He always felt that this was his body warning him that he must have missed something dangerous.

He stopped again and looked carefully. He looked at the tunnel above his head and suddenly thought of something. He immediately asked the political commissar Zhang Tang,

"Lao Zhang, do you know how deep our tunnel is?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely be clueless. However, Zhang Tang was very careful and had asked the troops of the 15th Army stationed here before, so he knew a little about these details.

"Lao Zhang, what's wrong? It's probably only about 2 meters deep. Is there any problem?"

When He Daming heard Zhang Tang's words, his hair stood on end. He knew where the problem was.

"Lao Zhang, this won't work, the tunnel isn't deep enough.

The artillery shells of the United States Army will still explode on the Triangle Mountain Heights. The shock waves generated will cause resonance, and then the soldiers of the 359th Regiment in our tunnels will be shaken to death."

Political Commissar Zhang Tang and 359th Regiment Commander Li Ling had never heard of resonance and looked at He Daming in front of them in confusion.

He Daming suddenly thought that the resonance he proposed might be too profound, so he directly explained to them the principle of resonance and the damage caused by shock waves generated by shells.

Zhang Tang and Li Ling understood instantly after He Daming's explanation.

"Then Commander He, how are we going to solve this problem?"

He Daming thought about it and came up with an idea.

"Political Commissar, we still have time. Let's have the 358th and 360th Regiments continue digging deeper tunnels overnight and then lay down wood as interlayers.

In addition, we transferred the supplies and canned food we seized from Baima Mountain, as well as a large amount of water, into the tunnels, and fought the short-term battle as if it were a long-term one. "

.......................

Following He Daming's command and arrangement, in the next few days, with the efforts of the entire 120th Division, the originally two-meter-deep tunnel was deepened, and a large amount of wood was laid to serve as a buffer for the artillery shells.

In addition, a large number of canned food and ammunition were prepared in the tunnel, which was enough to sustain the battle for a month.

.....................

On October 10, the US Joint Forces mobilized 10 artillery pieces of various types and sent 500 bombers to attack Triangle Mountain Heights and Sniper Ridge Heights.

The US Joint Forces' attack this time came four days earlier than He Daming had calculated.

The commander of the attack on Shangganling was Van Fleet, commander of the U.S. 8th Army, and he personally commanded the entire showdown operation.

At this time, continuous and deafening explosions and artillery fire were heard from the heights of Triangle Mountain and Sniper Ridge in Wusheng Mountain.

And He Daming, 5 kilometers north of the Triangle Mountain Highlands, was observing the battle situation ahead through a telescope from time to time.

At this moment, he was also worried about the soldiers of the 359th Regiment stationed on the Triangle Mountain Heights, because he himself was not sure whether the previous improvements could effectively resist the shock waves generated by the artillery shells.

At this time, the soldiers of the 359nd Company of the 1st Battalion and the 2rd Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment who were hiding in the tunnel were relatively comfortable because of He Daming's wise decision.

The shock waves produced by these US Joint Forces artillery shells were completely useless and had no effect on them.

But the soldiers under the 15th Army on the Sniper Ridge were unlucky, and their internal organs were shattered by the shock wave.

In fact, after discovering the defects of the tunnel, He Daming immediately contacted the commander of the 15th Army, Qin Wei, and explained to him the problems and defects of the tunnel.

However, Qin Wei thought that He Daming was worrying too much and was doing unnecessary things, which created the contrast between Triangle Mountain Heights and Sniper Ridge Heights.

With the continued output of artillery fire from the US Joint Forces, the Triangle Mountain Highlands, which originally had some bushes, is now bare, with nothing left but charred earth.

After a round of artillery fire, the commander of the 7th Division of the United States, Poole, immediately ordered one of his infantry battalions to attack the Triangle Mountain Heights.

From time to time, he would use a telescope to observe the movements on the Triangle Mountain Heights. He naively thought that with such fierce artillery attacks from his own side, there was no way there could be any survivors on the heights.

As a result, when the infantry battalion just reached halfway up the mountain, the volunteer soldiers of the 359th Regiment on the Triangle Mountain Heights began to open fire and counterattack.

Under this powerful fire suppression, the infantry battalion under the US 7th Division was quickly repelled.

This sudden change made Poole, the commander of the 7th Division of the United States, stunned. He immediately requested air support. 25 B26 bombers of the st Air Wing of the United States directly bombed and dropped a large number of bombs and incendiary bombs on the Triangle Mountain Heights.

However, the volunteer soldiers under He Daming were very smart. Chen Guo, the instructor of the 1nd Company of the 2st Battalion, discovered the traces of the US Joint Forces aircraft at the first time and shouted loudly,

"Enemy attack, take cover!"

The volunteer soldiers from the 2nd Company hid in the tunnel in an orderly manner.

At this time, the tunnel not only served as a rest stop, but also as an air-raid shelter.

After the friendly aircraft completed the bombing, the US 7th Division once again sent an infantry battalion to attack the Triangle Mountain Heights, but it was again repelled by the volunteer soldiers of the 359th Regiment.

...........................

The commander of the U.S. 7th Division, Poole, was very depressed and puzzled at this time, because he had launched six consecutive attacks, but all of them were repelled. He couldn't help but begin to wonder where these volunteer soldiers came from. They suddenly appeared after every artillery bombing and air bombing, which made him very puzzled.

By 10:18 on the th, the day's battle was completely over.

虽然359团1营2连和3营3连的战士们作战英勇,但是面对美联合军连续6次的进攻,还是有不小的伤亡,大概折损了80名战士。

The US Joint Forces suffered at least 500 casualties.

Compared to the ease of the Triangle Mountain Heights, the Sniper Ridge Heights were a completely different scene. Since the commander of the 15th Army, Qin Wei, did not adopt the suggestions put forward by He Daming, many of the volunteer soldiers in the tunnels were shaken to death by the shock waves generated by the artillery shells.

In addition, since the necessary food, water and supplies were not prepared in the tunnels in advance, the volunteer soldiers guarding the tunnels were almost risking their lives.

In just one day, Sniper Ridge Heights was almost captured by the U.S. Joint Forces. The 9th and 1st Companies guarding the area were almost reduced to single digit numbers, and the fighting was extremely brutal.
