Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World
Chapter 702 Tragic
Back to early June 1985, facing the loss of a position due to a surprise attack just after the change of guard, our army launched a desperate charge.
Unfortunately, there was an open area between the two positions, with no strategic location to defend or any support to rely on, so this short distance of just 100 meters became a life-or-death line.
On this short one hundred-meter battle line, nearly two hundred soldiers died, and nearly six hundred were wounded!
On the basketball court-sized hill, the Wei people who were defending the hill had a long time to wait for reinforcements, and the enemy kept bombarding the hill.
All the rocks on the entire high ground were blown into powder. Wei Min and his squadron have been holding on here for two hours.
At this point, less than half of the squadron was still able to move. "Captain, you should go down first! You're already injured!" a member of the squadron couldn't help but say, looking at Wei Min, whose arm was bleeding.
"It's okay, we can't leave now. Besides, we can't leave even if we want to! This area at the foot of the mountain is impassable! Send a message to the troops behind right now and ask them to concentrate their firepower on the opposite side's 227 highland first. We must suppress the opposite side's firepower so that our team can move up!" Wei Min said to the communicator while shooting.
"Captain, the enemy's artillery is the biggest threat, right? Shouldn't we attack the artillery first?" The communicator was a little hesitant.
"If we take down Hill 227, the enemy on the opposite side will be blinded and their artillery will be inaccurate! Do as I say! Send a message quickly!" said Wei Min.
"Yes!" After the communicator left, Wei Min looked at the enemy at the foot of the mountain and fell into deep thought.
He originally didn't want to get involved in this mess. It was simply wishful thinking for the new troops to rashly want to retake the position without understanding the specific situation.
However, faced with the insistence of the field army commander, Wei Min could only sneak up with the soldiers of the squadron. After three days of ambush, he finally caught the enemy by surprise.
Unfortunately, after taking the high ground, the enemy counterattacked too quickly, and the nearby 227 high ground had not been taken, allowing the enemy's firepower to directly block the area between the two high grounds.
This has led to the current situation. Although the entire high ground is in the hands of their special forces, it is a waste for their special forces to fight a positional battle!
Now we have no way to attack and no way to retreat! The entire squadron has lost fifteen men, and there are less than twenty who can still fight.
"Captain, the leaders in the rear told us to hold on for another hour. After an hour, they will definitely send troops to take over our defense!" As soon as the signalman finished speaking, the opposite Hill 227 was covered by artillery fire.
Looking at the high ground engulfed in flames, Wei Min knew that this was the best time to organize troops to move up!
Although the field troops behind wanted to seize the opportunity to come up, they now have no troops!
The entire regiment no longer had any organized units after the refueling tactics just now. All the units were basically dispersed!
"Captain, what do you think we should do now? Are we really going to wait here for an hour? But we don't have enough ammunition!" said the communicator.
"Da Hu, Da Hu!" Wei Min shouted.
"Captain!" Bao Dahu, captain of the first combat team, responded.
"Give me a few people, and I will take them to the mountain road behind to gather the troops. Otherwise, we can't hold on for an hour! You hold the position for me, and when I'm not around, you take command for me!" Wei Min said.
It was still dark, and it was impossible for ordinary people to gather the troops in such a situation. So Wei Min had to go in person!
"Yes!" Bao Dahu knew that time was running out, so he stopped talking nonsense and took over the command of the position directly. Wei Min brought five people down the mountain from the back and went to the mountain road to gather the troops.
When Wei Min arrived at the mountain road, the scene before him was extremely tragic. Broken limbs were everywhere, and the ground was covered with blood. Many wounded soldiers were lying on the ground, trying their best not to make any noise to attract artillery fire!
Wei Min had a brief discussion with the soldiers and began to look for the scattered troops separately. When he found a intact one, he let them go up the mountain along the correct road.
If they encountered casualties, they would look for those with minor injuries and let them carry the martyrs away one by one.
After struggling for nearly two hours, Zhao Weimin only found eight soldiers who were intact and able to continue fighting. However, many of these soldiers had no combat experience at all, and they lost their direction when the shells exploded on the battlefield.
It's true that new soldiers are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns. People like Wei Min can roughly determine where a shell will land based on the whistling sound.
So it's easy to dodge artillery bombardments, but these recruits can't?
The battle on the top of the mountain was still going on. The entire squadron had only more than 20 people and could not hold out for long. The most important thing was that they were short of ammunition.
Although those who were scattered were asked to bring as much ammunition as possible, it was still a drop in the bucket. The battle was fierce and the ammunition they had could not last long.
Moreover, the top of the mountain was still under bombardment, or rather, the entire area around Hill 211 was under bombardment! Even now, Wei Min had to look for people while guarding against the bombardment!
There is no way such bombardment can gather troops, and each reinforcement is very limited!
Wei Min came to a large tree where a wounded man sat. One of his thighs had been severed by a shell. He had been given a simple bandage to stop the bleeding, but it was practically impossible for him to get down to receive treatment.
You walked over to him, but he was helpless looking at the situation. He had no way to treat the wounded man.
"Commander, you take these magazines and grenades. I'll just leave one grenade here! The top of the mountain needs more support! I can still hold on!" The young soldier looked at Wei Min and said weakly.
"This is good stuff, eat it quickly to replenish your strength! Our reinforcements will be here soon, you must hold on!" Wei Min took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, tore open the package and stuffed it into the little soldier's mouth.
The little soldier felt the sweet and bitter taste in his mouth, and his heart was satisfied.
At this moment, a shell came towards the two of them. Wei Min knew it was not good because the shell was landing nearby.
The blast radius of an 80mm shell reached nearly 40 meters! There was no time to dodge. Wei Min had no choice but to pull the young soldier over and pin him down, then he lay on top of him, the two of them leaning against the tree.
The shell exploded more than 30 meters away from them. Many shrapnel were blocked by the big tree, and the two men were not hurt.
However, a shrapnel turned after hitting the nearby rock and hit Wei Min's head directly. Although the helmet absorbed most of the force, the shrapnel still got stuck in Wei Min's skull!
"Commander! Commander!" the young soldier shouted loudly. It quickly attracted the attention of others. Wei Min was also discovered by the special forces and was carried down the mountain by a soldier!
