Chapter 363 Persistence

"Boom--" The shell exploded near the trench, splashing mud and stones all over the sky, and everyone pressed their bodies tightly in the trench! Winters was also in the trench, greeting the soldiers constantly: "Lowen your posture, lower your posture!" The North Koreans are going to attack, prepare weapons and ammunition, and check their grenades. Carlisle, get ready for mortars!" Winters shuttled through the trenches with his waist. Obviously, he did not choose to hide in the camp of the deeper trenches, but chose to be with his brothers.

He has received an order that the North Korean army was intercepted by the Black Panther special forces. The North Korean army now attacking Busan will face a two-sided attack. Their only way out is to break through the Busan defense line and repel the frontal defense of the U.S. military. Only in this way can we get through the crisis. Obviously, the commanders of the North Korean army know that this is their only chance! They attacked the defensive positions of the 187th Regiment like crazy, more and more and more troops were invested one by one.

"The North Koreans are coming up!" Major Cook shouted at Lieutenant Colonel Winters. . There was a tremor in his voice. Obviously, he was stunned by such a situation. The mountains are full of North Korean soldiers. They are like ants climbing a huge enough food for them, rushing desperately towards the defense line.

"God, my God!" Major Cook couldn't help moaning, and then he said to Lieutenant Colonel Winters, "I think we need help. For God's sake, I hope we still have reinforcements!"

"There are no reinforcements, Cook. You don't know what we are facing!" Winters looked quietly at the North Korean army charging in front of him. He took a deep breath and said, "Tell my brothers that this is probably the last attack of the North Koreans. If you block them, we will win."

It's true. This charge used up all the shells of the North Korean army. They sent all the soldiers, including the reserve, to take this defensive position that gave them a headache and could not be attacked. Unfortunately, the battalion led by Winters was chosen by them as the main direction of the attack.

"My God, Dick has suffered this time!" Colonel Swinney watched the attack of the North Korean army through a telescope and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. The North Koreans used all their forces. One battalion of Winters, which was blocked head-on alone, faced the attack of almost two regiments. Captain Hans, you lead the reserve company up to help Lieutenant Colonel Winters consolidate his position!" Then he said to the officer behind him, "Let the artillery prepare. We're going to have a big fight!"

The situation is really serious. Winters kept reminding the soldiers: "Steady, steady, let them get closer." With that, there was a sharp roar above his head. It was the U.S. artillery that began to fight back. At this time, there was also a "buzzing" sound in the air. A soldier shouted at the sky, "Oh, beautiful guys, go and bomb them. Let them all go to hell!"

"Boom--" The roar of the cannon and the dropping of the plane turned the attacking hillside into a sea of fire, and you can smell the burning smell from afar. The gasoline bomb burned everything. Even the U.S. military on the defensive side could see the North Korean army screaming in the flames and couldn't help frowning.

This is destined to be an extraordinary battle. Even if the North Korean army was bombarded by planes and artillery, they still miraculously saved most of their strength and rushed up to the defensive position without flinching.

The faces of North Korean soldiers can also be seen clearly. They seem to be expressionless. They have no ferocious faces or cowardly fear. They are like tireless machines. They wave the rifle in their hands and shoot while running.

Winters raised his rifle and aimed at the soldier in front of him, then decisively pulled the trigger and shouted, "Fire!" With a bang, a soldier fell to the ground with the sound of gunfire!

"Fire!" The orders one after another shouted on the position, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons began to spew flames. Winters seemed to have the illusion that he had returned to the European battlefield. The familiar M1 rifle, the familiar brothers' sound of calling and rescuing each other, seemed to be far away, but very close.

"I was shot!" Someone is shouting for help.

"Doctor! I need a doctor here. Someone is hurt!"

It's like a call from the ice and snow, making Winters feel as if he was in E Company again. The faces seemed to be Daniel Randolman, Li Gaot, Huber, Westfordi...

"Boom--" A shell exploded beside Winters, and a wave lifted him up. The rifle in his hand was out of his hands and thrown high into the air. His body fell heavily on the ground, and suddenly a sharp pain came from his leg, which made him moan and scold: "Damn it!"

"God!" Major Cook exclaimed, "Colos Winters!" He rushed to Winters. He wanted to drag him into the bunker set up in the trench, but when he raised his head, he suddenly felt that his head was hit hard by something, and the red ** quickly filled his eyes.

Major Cook was shot in the head, blood splashed all over his face, and then fell to the ground. His body fell less than five meters away from Winters, but he could no longer get up.

"God!" Winters couldn't help moaning. He tried to get up, and then approached the edge of the trench. He found a rifle, but just now the shell shrapnel penetrated his calves. He staggered a little, and the bullets fired from the opposite side were as dense as locusts, making people almost unable to raise their heads.

"Doctor!" Winters shouted loudly at a medical officer who was dressing soldiers in the trench, "I'm hurt. Hurry up, help me!"

At this time, someone was shouting loudly: "Major Cook is dead, God, we can't resist."

"Damn it, who's shouting there!" Winters asked the doctor who ran over. The doctor looked there and said, "It's Mueller. That guy is a supplementary recruit. He can't stand such a scene. This is really the cruelest battle I've ever seen!" Many people have been injured, and it's normal for someone to collapse, Lieutenant Colonel!" The doctor comforted Winters, and then began to stop the bleeding and put on a bandage.

"He will kill us. Hurry up, doctor!" While Winters was still wearing a bandage, he stood up and roared at the soldier who squatted in fear and dared not straighten up in the trench, "Soldier, raise your rifle and shoot at those damn North Koreans, hurry up!" With that, he rushed over, and the doctor shouted behind him, " Lieutenant Colonel, your legs are not tied yet!"

"I can't control it!" Winters rushed to the soldier, lifted his collar, pressed him to the edge of the trench and roared, "Soldier, pick up your gun, yes, that's it, shoot, yes, well done, shoot, don't stop!" With that, the soldier named Mueller cried and shot all the bullets with trembling hands. With a "ding", the magazine bounced out and made a crisp sound.

"Don't stop and keep shooting. We have no way out. We don't have reinforcements. No one will replace us!" Winters walked back and forth in the trench loudly, and kept shouting loudly, "Retreat, we will die. Repel these North Koreans, and we can live. Don't relax, shoot, and fight fiercely!"

Just as the feeling of fear caused by Major Cook's death was spreading, Winters appeared in time. He dragged his injured leg and shouted at the soldiers over and over again in the trench, but it was also because Winters kept shouting that the soldiers realized that their battalion They are still here, and they have not been defeated!

"K kill this son of a bitch!" Carlisle was also shouting loudly in the trench at this time. He recognized a grenade. The North Koreans who rushed to the front were blown up by the grenade. "Let you taste my melon. Come on, you bastards!"

North Koreans are getting closer and closer. Even at a distance of 40 or 50 meters, it seems to be a huge trench. At that time, after all, they were pushing forward, relying on the falling corpses, although it was very slow.

"The bayonet!" Winters ordered loudly. There was nothing he could do. Finally, he reached the point of a white-handed battle. Winters couldn't help licking his lips and then continued to raise his rifle to shoot. They had to climb out of the trench within 20 meters of the North Koreans, or they would wait to be cleaned up.

Then just as he was about to issue an order to charge, the rear of the North Korean army suddenly became chaotic, and there seemed to be a dense sound of gunfire, accompanied by the sound of shells exploding.

"It's now!" Winters clenched his hand, held it with his uninjured leg, jumped up the trench, and shouted at the brothers in the trench, "Let's rush out and kill them. Now it's our time. Let's fight on both sides!" Obviously, the North Koreans also saw the crisis, and their rear was attacked.

Another squadron of the Panther Special Forces has launched an attack. The attacking North Korean army had been attacked on both sides. The soldiers who had just rushed forward were hit and retreated like a tide. Winters took the opportunity to command his brothers to counterattack.

"Pon!" With one sound, the sound of the butt of the gun hitting the person's face and the sound of broken bones came. Carlisle smashed down with a butt, and the face of a North Korean soldier suddenly collapsed. He shouted fiercely, "This is for Cook!"

Yes, in this battle, Winters' battalion is basically crippled! Looking at the brothers falling beside themselves one by one, there was an inexplicable resentment and anger in everyone's heart, and they all vented on the North Korean soldiers.

Sooner or later, the Korean offensive forces will be annihilated. The defense war in Busan has basically been successful, and not long after this battle, on September 15, 1950, MacArthur boarded the flagship McKinley Hill to personally supervise the battle in the United States and Britain. Under the cover of more than 300 warships and more than 500 aircraft, the U.S. 10th Army successfully landed in Incheon, raided from the rear of the North Korean army, cut off the bee waist line of the Korean Peninsula, and quickly recaptured Incheon Port and nearby islands. On September 22, the joint [***] retreat to the Busan ring defense circle took advantage of the situation to counterattack. On September 27, the Incheon landing force rendezvoused with the Busan troops near Suwon, and then recaptured Seoul.
