Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The counter-charge worked wonders. Seeing the American troops retreating in panic, the company commander of the fifth company on the front line became more and more excited.

Ever since Jia Dongxu escaped last night, the atmosphere in the company has become somewhat gloomy and depressing. In addition, they have just been suppressed by the U.S. military's firepower, and everyone in the fifth company has a feeling of suffocation in their chest, unable to vent.

Seeing the low morale, in order to restore the morale of the troops and at the same time to wash away the shame, the captain of the fifth company personally led the troops to launch a counterattack.

The opportunity to fight was fleeting, and in order to achieve the effect of surprise, the fifth company commander did not even have time to send someone to notify Cheng Hao.

Of course, the fifth company commander did not forget his duties. He personally led only a few dozen people to launch the counterattack, and a certain number of troops were still left on the left wing to hold the position in case of any accidents.

It was just a temporary victory, but some things began to go beyond the expectations of the fifth company commander.

First, the remaining troops on the left wing saw the victory of the company commander, and they were so surprised that they underestimated the enemy. Instead of defending the position as planned, they rushed down and wanted to join the fifth company commander to achieve another miracle.

Hearing the shouts behind him, the fifth company commander felt a sinking feeling in his heart and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Most of the people in the fifth company ran down, who will defend the position?

However, as Cheng Hao sent a platoon to strengthen the left wing, the fifth company commander's heart slowly settled down.

Cheng Hao is indeed young and promising. Even though he did not receive the message, he cooperated at the first opportunity.

Now that the left wing position is safe, the fifth company commander can pursue the enemy with confidence and further expand the results of the battle.

However, before he could be happy, a cloud of dust rose from behind the American troops. The Fifth Company had been in battle for a long time, and they knew at a glance that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived.

With the arrival of reinforcements from behind, the morale of the American soldiers was boosted. Under the leadership of the commander, they reorganized their front line and launched a counterattack against the Fifth Company that was attacking them.

The firepower advantage of the American soldiers was revealed, and the casualties of the 5th Company, which had lost the cover of its position, suddenly skyrocketed.

The success of the counter-attack just now was mainly due to the fact that we took advantage of the enemy's gap and attacked them by surprise.

Now that the enemy had reacted, the Fifth Company was caught in a tough fight.

What was worse was that due to the deployment of follow-up troops and the fact that the 5th Company had advanced too far forward, it was difficult to withdraw for a while.

"I'll cover them, platoon leader, lead them back immediately!"

The fifth company commander acted decisively and led a small group of people to block the enemy and buy time for the remaining people.

"Captain, I'll cover them, you lead them to retreat!"

"This is an order, retreat immediately!"

After the fifth company commander finished shouting, he didn't say any more words. The submachine gun in his hand spit out a tongue of fire, sweeping towards the enemy troops not far away.

After a magazine of bullets was used up, the fifth company commander was bending down to change the magazine when suddenly a bullet shot and pierced his heart.

The fifth company commander's body trembled, his eyes widened, and he died before he could leave a last word.

"Company commander!"

When the nearby soldiers saw the fifth company commander die, they roared in anger and fired at the enemy without hesitation.

However, the US military had the advantage in numbers and firepower, so how could they resist without their commanders?

Not long after, the 5th Company, which had lost most of its troops, retreated to its position under the leadership of a platoon leader.

The U.S. military would certainly not let go of the good opportunity of the fifth consecutive defeat, and immediately launched an attack, holding on tightly.

Fortunately, a platoon sent by Cheng Hao did not go into battle without authorization, firmly controlled the left wing position, successfully helped the remnants of the seventh company retreat back to the position, and used grenades to block the enemy's offensive.

When the follow-up troops of the 402nd Regiment were about to arrive, Cheng Hao, who felt that something was wrong, immediately handed over the right wing to his deputy and went to the left wing to take charge.

As soon as the remnants of the Seventh Company were withdrawn, Cheng Hao immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is the situation? Where is the Fifth Company Commander?"

"The company commander... has died..."

The dusty soldiers of the Fifth Company said in sorrow and pain.

"what?!"

Cheng Hao's body swayed. He knew the situation was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Where are your instructor and deputy company commander?"

"No more."

Cheng Hao's face darkened, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The most important thing right now is not to find out who is responsible, but to do our best to hold our ground.

Only by holding their positions can they survive. If their positions are breached, they will be overwhelmed by the enemy.

"Messenger, tell the deputy company commander not to move and to guard the right wing. I will guard the left wing myself!"

Cheng Hao thought for a moment and gave the order decisively.

The Seventh Company has suffered heavy casualties in the battle so far, and after withdrawing a platoon of troops, they are already short of manpower and it is impossible to send more reinforcements.

Of course, the situation on the left is even worse.

The Fifth Company lost most of its men, with less than a platoon of available men in total. Their organization was in disarray, their morale was low, and they had little combat effectiveness left.

What's worse, the defeat of the 5th Company undoubtedly pointed out the direction of the enemy's attack.

The right wing position is weak, so they will definitely concentrate their troops to attack.

As expected, before Cheng Hao could make arrangements for the remnants of the 5th Company, the enemy took advantage of the situation and launched a new round of attacks.

This time the attack was not only by the US military, but also by many miscellaneous soldiers from various countries.

These miscellaneous soldiers were scattered and their marching routes were completely disorganized, just like headless flies. At first glance, they were defeated soldiers retreating from the front line. Although they were numerous, they posed much less of a threat than American soldiers.

Of course, even though this group of ragtag soldiers had little combat effectiveness, they still caused Cheng Hao considerable trouble.

It was still the problem caused by the failure of the 5th Company's counterattack. At this time, the manpower on the left wing was really limited. In addition, Cheng Hao and his party were lightly equipped and had limited ammunition supplies.

It was obviously not a wise move to waste limited ammunition on a weak army. However, Cheng Hao and his men could not ignore these defeated soldiers. After all, the guns in their hands were not for show.

"Grenade!"

Seeing a large number of miscellaneous soldiers approaching the position, Cheng Hao could only use his few remaining grenades to try to drive them back.

If these miscellaneous soldiers could counterattack the US troops while retreating, they would definitely be able to delay the enemy for enough time.

However, the American soldiers supervising the battle from behind were not stupid. They would immediately shoot and kill any friendly troops who turned around.

The American soldiers had more powerful firepower and greater momentum, so the fleeing soldiers had no choice but to charge towards Cheng Hao's position.

"Damn it, beat him hard!"

Things have now reached a desperate stage. No tactics will work. It all depends on who can't hold on first.

If Cheng Hao could be stopped, the enemy would be killed if the large force of the Volunteer Army caught up with them.

On the contrary, the Seventh Company where Cheng Hao was located would be trampled to pieces, becoming a thrilling episode on the enemy's retreat.

"Captain, we're out of bullets!"

Soon, the bullets ran out and the enemy rushed to the front of the position.

Cheng Hao did not hesitate at all. He turned around and shouted, "Everyone, put on your bayonets and prepare to charge!"

When the bullets are all used up, they will resort to hand-to-hand combat. Anyway, Cheng Hao has made up his mind that the enemy will not be able to break out before all the members of the Seventh Company are killed.

The soldiers who received the order put on their bayonets and prepared for battle.

However, the bugler suddenly stood up and blew the charge.

Those who were still able to breathe on the battlefield immediately stood up, grabbed their weapons, and charged towards the enemy with roars.
