Chapter 92: The Eve of the Battle to Recapture Sniper Ridge Heights

When Zach saw the South Korean soldiers from the guard company entering the tent one after another, he did not further provoke the conflict, but stared at Jin Wenzai fiercely.

"Captain Jin, you have the most men today, and you can do it. I hope that Sniper Ridge Heights will not be in trouble in your hands, otherwise you will definitely have a place in the military court."

After saying these words, Colonel Zack left the tent with his adjutant.

Jin Wenzai watched Zach leave without any action, while the Chief of Staff Li Shuncheng whispered in his ear,

"Master, do you want us to..."

He made a knife gesture and was directly scolded by Jin Wenzai.

"You are crazy. Doing this is tantamount to treason. You, me, and the entire Second Division will be buried with us.

Let's just leave it at that. It's our boss Li Chengwan who has to call these Americans daddy when he sees them."

Then Jin Wenzai continued to raise his glass,

"Come on, let's keep dancing and drinking."

The entire division command post tent was filled with singing and dancing.

Colonel Zach, the commander of the 187nd Battalion of the 2th Regiment of the United States, who left here, had a livid face. Adjutant Looney beside him asked him directly in a low voice,

"Colonel, are we going to call it a day?"

Zach glanced at Looney unhappily.

"Well, Jin Wenzai is the division commander, and I am just a battalion commander. He is from the South Korean Army, and I am from the US Army. We are allies now. Even if I tell Brigadier General Boris about what happened today, I think it will be minimized and will not affect our alliance."

Adjutant Looney nodded after hearing what Zach said.

"Okay, Colonel, where do we go now?"

Zach replied unhappily, "Go back to camp and sleep. We'll set off back to Pyeongtaek City tomorrow."

就在南韩第二师沉浸在胜利的喜悦中时,第15军麾下第29师87团团长王方亲自带队率领旗下的1营和2营,迂回到了狙击岭高地的南面,直接处于南韩第2师阵地前沿和狙击岭高地的中间地带。

They all lay prone in the dense undergrowth below the plateau, and none of them dared to move, even if they died.

At this time, the defenders at the South Korean 2nd Division's position and the Sniper Ridge Heights would occasionally raise their searchlights to illuminate the front or below for exploration.

The commander of the 29th Regiment of the 88th Division, Meng Ming, led the 3rd Battalion directly to the northern slope of the Sniper Ridge Heights. They did not launch an attack directly, but waited patiently. A reconnaissance squad covered a bugler and came to a position 50 meters away from the heights, where they blew the trumpet.

“Beep…Beep…Beep…”

The loud call quickly attracted the attention of the surviving volunteers in the tunnel on Sniper Ridge Highlands.

The surviving volunteers in the tunnel quickly came to an older officer and called out softly,

"Captain Niu, did you hear that? This is the codeword our 88th Regiment is giving us."

At this time, Niu Youdao, the commander of the second battalion of the 88th Regiment and the highest-ranking officer in the tunnel, was carefully listening to the loud call from the tunnel.

"I heard it. It seems that our 30th Army has not given up on us. According to the code, they want us to launch an attack at : tonight. Who among you has a watch captured from the US Army?"

As soon as Niu Youdao finished speaking, a volunteer soldier weakly raised his hands.

"Captain, I have it. This is a watch seized from the American soldiers."

Niu Youdao took the watch handed over by the soldier and looked at the time carefully.

"It is now 9: pm, and there are about three hours left. Tell the soldiers to have a good rest and prepare ammunition and grenades for the time to come.

We will rush out from the two hidden tunnel entrances and have a good fight with these American soldiers to create chaos and draw firepower for our main force."

After hearing Niu Youdao's order, the soldiers in the tunnel began to prepare.

At this time, the soldiers of the second battalion of the South Korean 2nd Division located on the Sniper Ridge Hill were naturally attracted by the horn sound from the north side of the hill.

They immediately picked up the searchlight and shone it over there, but they could only hear the voice but not see the person.

This made the battalion commander Jin Moyang very unhappy. He immediately ordered the soldiers to pick up their anti-aircraft machine guns and fire in the direction of the sound.

The bullets fired from the anti-aircraft gun can no longer be called bullets. They should be considered small-caliber artillery shells. They are more powerful than sniper rifles. A large number of bullets penetrated the small mound, and Chen Qing, the bugler, was unfortunately shot and killed.

However, he did not forget to continue blowing the trumpet when he was dying, and the sound of the trumpet stopped abruptly.

The South Korean soldiers on the Sniper Ridge heights realized that the bugler below was probably dead.

However, Jin Moyang, the battalion commander guarding the high ground, felt that the timing of the volunteer army bugler appearing in the north seemed inappropriate.

In fact, he was also very worried that the volunteers would launch a surprise attack on the Sniper Ridge Heights they were guarding under the cover of night. To be on the safe side, they used mortars to bombard the flat land below the northern heights.

“Woo….Woo….”

A large number of shells exploded near the 88rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment. Due to the dry weather, some shells even ignited the weeds, starting a raging fire.

The flames slowly burned towards the volunteer soldiers of the 3rd Battalion who were hiding in the bushes.

At this time, on the high ground above the hillside, soldiers from two battalions of the South Korean Second Division were observing every move below the high ground.

At this time, the volunteer soldiers of the 88rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment did not dare to move at all, for fear of being discovered by the South Korean troops on the high ground, thus destroying the plan.

As the flames burned, some of them burned some of the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, but in order not to disrupt tonight's combat plan, these soldiers chose to endure the burning flames and refused to say a word.

The regiment commander Meng Ming, who was in the rear, gnashed his teeth when he saw this scene. He wanted to rush up and fight with the South Korean 2nd Division, but reason told him not to.

After all, in order to retake the Sniper Ridge Heights, they have no choice but to endure. As the fire spreads, more and more volunteer soldiers will be affected.

Fortunately, God might not be able to bear it anymore, and suddenly the sky was covered with dark clouds. After a while, a thunderstorm began to fall. The rain came in time and instantly extinguished the burning flames.

This wave of thunderstorm came and went quickly, and it was over in less than 10 minutes.

After the shower ended, there was a lot of chirping of insects and frogs from below the high ground.

The two battalions of the South Korean 2nd Division on the Sniper Ridge high ground dispelled their doubts when they saw that there was no movement below.
