Chapter 142 Cruel battlefield
On the southern battlefield of Yunshan City, at the Seventh Company position, Zhao Cheng was directing his soldiers to snipe the Eighth Regiment of the First Cavalry Division.
The 1st Cavalry Division is worthy of being the main force of the Great Piaoliang Army. It is well-equipped and can summon aircraft to assist in the battle. Its combat-capable bombers can reach the battlefield in 30 minutes.
"Third squad! Get ready! Everyone else provide covering fire. Never let the infantry behind get to the sides of the tanks. We must suppress them!" Zhao Cheng shouted loudly to give orders.
Zhao Cheng watched as flames continued to emerge from the tank's muzzle. Every time flames came out, at least three of his men would be injured or even killed.
The entire Seventh Company's position had five such tanks! Not to mention the other companies. The group charge launched by the Eighth Regiment of the First Cavalry Division was over 500 meters wide! And there were only four companies of soldiers blocking it!
"Zhao Cheng, the battalion commander told us to hold on. The follow-up troops also suffered heavy losses due to the air bombing. It will take them at least an hour to relieve us!" Just as Zhao Cheng was about to take the lead in blowing up the tanks, the captain of the seventh company came back.
"Company Commander, next time you leave, don't let me take command! I really can't do this!" Zhao Cheng turned around and said to Company Commander Feng.
During the short ten minutes that Captain Feng was gone, Zhao Cheng felt overwhelmed with pressure. This was mainly because he had never been involved in such a battle before, and he didn't know how to command the troops or how to deploy them.
Zhao Cheng's heart was bleeding as he watched the soldiers fall one by one. Zhao Cheng didn't want to see such a thing happen again.
"Zhao Cheng, you don't have to blame yourself. Your command is no different from mine! The situation will be the same if I were in command! There is no good solution!" Company Commander Feng comforted Zhao Cheng while firing.
He also knew that letting Zhao Cheng command the battle in this way, and the heavy sacrifices made by the soldiers, must have put a lot of psychological pressure on Zhao Cheng, but this was the only way for an officer! The battlefield is the best classroom!
Zhao Cheng didn't say anything else. He knew that Captain Feng was right, but when he saw the soldiers fall, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
"Company Commander, since you are back, you continue to command the battle. I will go to deal with those tanks. Otherwise, when they rush up, we will not be able to stop them!" Zhao Cheng said to Company Commander Feng while changing the magazine.
"Why don't you let the platoon leader and the others go? You haven't received any training in this area, so it may not be so smooth!" said Captain Feng.
"Don't worry, Captain, I can handle it! I may not be good at commanding battles, but I am pretty good at dealing with these things!" After Zhao Cheng said this, he took the lead and rushed out of the trench and hid in a bomb crater created by an aerial bomb.
"Provide fire cover! Follow up, squad three!" Captain Feng saw that Zhao Cheng had already rushed out, and without hesitation, he gave the order directly to squad three.
The soldiers of the third squad all had an expression of being ready to die. They followed Zhao Cheng out of the trench and, like Zhao Cheng, hid in the bomb craters.
Seeing that the tank was less than 60 meters away from him, Zhao Cheng took out a grenade, pulled out the safety pin, waited for the right moment, and threw it towards the front of the tank.
Following the smoke of the explosion, Zhao Cheng jumped up and came to the path that the tank had to pass with the explosive pack in his arms at an extremely fast speed. Zhao Cheng pulled out the pull ring of the explosive pack and watched the fuse of the explosive pack continue to burn. It took Zhao Cheng less than three seconds to throw the explosive pack to the bottom of the tank. Then Zhao Cheng jumped into a bomb crater.
"Boom!" A huge explosion was heard, and the tank that Zhao Cheng was dealing with broke down directly. All the observation windows and hatches of the tank were covered with flames.
Zhao Cheng did not delay and asked the soldier to hand him another explosive pack. As usual, he threw a few grenades on the road and took advantage of the smoke to rush directly towards the second tank.
Moreover, Zhao Cheng, the sixth man, was running while holding a gun in one hand and shooting at the soldiers behind the tank.
"Boom!" Another explosion, Zhao Cheng destroyed the second tank.
During this time, several other soldiers also destroyed three more tanks, but three soldiers were also sacrificed.
With several tanks grounded, the pressure on the Seventh Company was greatly reduced. Zhao Cheng led the remaining soldiers back to the Seventh Company's position.
"Company commander, once these tanks are destroyed, I believe we will be able to defend against the soldiers' attacks and hold out for an hour!" Zhao Cheng's face really turned black now.
"Okay, as long as we destroy these tanks, we can use 60 mortars to attack the infantry behind the tanks. It will be much easier." Captain Feng smiled with satisfaction and patted Zhao Cheng.
Because the tanks in front of the 7th Company's position were destroyed, the 1st Cavalry Division paused its attack, but did not withdraw its troops. Because they had air superiority in their hands, they could call for air support at any time. So they all lay back and rested without worry.
"John, how are the troops breaking out in front of us doing? How long will it take to open up the road outside?" The commander said nervously while looking at the map.
In fact, the regiment commander's consideration was correct. If he could not break through the opponent's defense line in the first time, the surrounding troops would completely surround him, and he would have no way to escape.
"Sir, we didn't touch anything on the opposite side's defense line in our first attack because our tanks were destroyed by the opposite side. Without tanks in front of us, our direct attack is no different from committing suicide! The children will not agree to commit suicide like this." The staff officer's words silenced the regimental commander.
As the commander of this unit, I need to consider the overall situation. I can't stop attacking just because I'm afraid of losses! But I do need to let my soldiers rest. After all, soldiers are human beings and need rest.
"We don't have that much time. I just sent a telegram to the headquarters explaining the current situation. The headquarters also asked us to break out quickly. Let the South Korean 1st Division fend for itself here!" The regimental commander's eyes flashed.
The staff officer did not speak, but looked at the huge map of North and South Korea, seeing that his troops were already near the border of the country.
"Sir, can't we break out towards the coastline? It's so close to our navy, and we can let the aircraft carriers provide us with air support. We can then retreat safely to Incheon from there!" The staff officer pointed to the coastline on the map.
"No, we have too much heavy equipment and supplies. There is no road leading to the coastline, so we can't take away all our heavy equipment! We can only force our way through the front position and continue to break out to the south!" The regiment commander said sadly.
