Traveling through the Korean War: I am He Yuzhu

Chapter 146 A glimmer of hope

"Our 50th Battalion has suffered at least two hundred casualties." He Yuzhu said coldly.

The 50th Battalion is the fighting force that He Yuzhu personally led. Every soldier was taught by him with great effort, and He Yuzhu can remember every soldier's name. It can be said that his feelings for the 50th Battalion are deeper than anyone else's. The 50th Battalion is like flesh that fell off his body.

Now the 50th Battalion has been trapped in a desperate situation by the enemy's strategy of luring them deep into its territory, and is on the verge of being completely wiped out.

He Yuzhu looked very unhappy.

He Yuzhu kept pacing on the spot.

He was really anxious.

Since he became an officer and took charge of the troops, this was the first time that his subordinates had suffered such a great loss.

The guard company commander and several platoon leaders took the binoculars and took turns looking out at the battlefield. Everyone was silent about what had happened to the 50th Battalion.

The reason why He Yuzhu only led the guard company here is very simple. If He Yuzhu brought the entire 382nd Regiment to Yerengou, the US 24th Division would probably be fully mobilized to encircle the 382nd Regiment in Yerengou. At that time, all the soldiers of the 382nd Regiment would be buried here. Leaving other battalions in place as backup was He Yuzhu's only choice.

Now the only ones who can save the 50th Battalion are him and the guard company.

"Yan Jiecheng, I'm giving you a very dangerous task. You might die. Since you're still a new recruit, do you dare to do it? You have the right to refuse." He Yuzhu said to his guard Yan Jiecheng at this time.

If Yan Jiecheng was a veteran, He Yuzhu would have given the order directly.

For new recruits, there must be a protection period.

"Report to the leader!"

"I dare!"

"I, Yan Jiecheng, will never be a coward again." Yan Jiecheng said loudly, and his voice echoed nearby.

He Yuzhu immediately said: "Yan Jiecheng, run around the outer edge of the Wild Man Valley, remember to avoid the enemy's sight, and help me take a look at the specific terrain here. You must be quick, every minute and every second, 50 battalion soldiers may die."

"Yes!"

Yan Jiecheng shouted.

Then Yan Jiecheng ran towards the outskirts of the battlefield.

Neither the soldiers of the guard company nor He Yuzhu spoke any words afterwards.

Wait quietly for Yan Jiecheng to solve the problem.

About twenty minutes later, Yan Jiecheng returned.

"Captain, it's like this..." Yan Jiecheng told He Yuzhu everything, including the terrain he had seen, the enemy's deployment, and the number of people he had seen.

He Yuzhu closed his eyes slightly.

A large model of the map forms in your mind.

Suddenly, He Yuzhu opened his eyes.

"We want to pull the 50th Battalion out of the encirclement. The best option is only at the 6 o'clock direction. According to Yan Jiecheng's description, the 6 o'clock direction is the intersection of two high slopes. The middle part is relatively flat and has many trees that can serve as cover. This is the best retreat route."

He Yuzhu said.

"All of them."

"Loaded."

"Be alert."

"In the following battle, every one of us may die, but we must rescue the 50th Battalion."

"Crush the enemy's plot."

He Yuzhu spoke with great authority, rarely showing his murderous intent on the surface. On weekdays, He Yuzhu was harmless, just like an ordinary person.

He Yuzhu led the guard company and quickly rushed to the 6 o'clock direction.

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

At six o'clock, there were about two companies of the 24th US Army stationed. They lay on the reverse slope and kept shooting at the 50th Battalion.

The 50th Battalion was surrounded by gunfire on all sides. If they hid from one, they could not hide from that, and they had no way of breaking out. The enemy's terrain was high, and once they climbed the slope, they would become sitting ducks, which was very uncomfortable. Once the ammunition ran out and they had no firepower to suppress it, they would immediately become mutton in the enemy's mouth, and be chewed to pieces.

The 50th Battalion was like prey caught in a hunter's trap.

Death is only a matter of time.

There is no escape.

There is no way to retreat.

"Grass!"

"There is not a single coward in our 50th Battalion."

"Damn it."

"It's not shameful to die on the battlefield!"

"If I can kill one, I'll kill one. I'm not afraid of that!"

Ge Miao said loudly.

"Da da da……"

Ge Miao's veins popped out all over his body. He raised a heavy machine gun with both hands and kept firing at the US coalition forces on the opposite slope. A large number of bullets flew and Ge Miao actually shot two enemy soldiers in the head. The enemy only left a shooting range for the 50th Battalion's heads, and the soldiers of the 50th Battalion left the enemy with too many positions that could be shot.

"puff!"

A bullet penetrated directly into Ge Miao's arm.

"Snapped!"

Ge Miao was suddenly hit by the inertia of the bullet, and the heavy machine gun in his hand fell to the ground.

"battalion commander!"

A soldier saw Ge Miao was shot in the arm and bleeding, and he shouted loudly.

"So many soldiers have died. My little injury is nothing. Let's fight them to the death! Even if I die soon, you must not be discouraged, nor weaken the morale of our 382nd Regiment. Fight them to the end!"

"We are the Long Live Army, and no one will submit to us!"

Ge Miao said loudly.

Hoarseness.

I wish my voice could tear the sky apart.

Ge Miao tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and wrapped it around his bleeding arm, then forcibly lifted up the heavy machine gun and continued firing. Waves of tearing flesh and blood pain spread from his arm to his whole body, but Ge Miao did not cry out in pain.

"Da da da!"

"Da da da!"

"I'll kill you!"

Ge Miao kept speaking loudly.

"Blow the charge."

"rush!"

He Yuzhu had already reached the position by this time. He spoke to the bugler, then led the guard company to rush forward.

"Beep beep..."

"Beep beep..."

The charge sounded.

"Da da da……"

"Da da da……"

He Yuzhu was also holding a heavy machine gun at this time, with two loaded automatic rifles on his back, and grenades hanging all over his body. There was a white cloth around his waist, which was full of bullets. Almost every guard company had full ammunition. He Yuzhu's bullets shot from the back and killed ten American soldiers in an instant.

Even if it is a heavy machine gun, He Yuzhu can still control its recoil with his powerful strength.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers of the guard company shouted and roared.

The soldiers of the guard company also opened fire one by one, immediately inflicting heavy damage to the two U.S. coalition companies in front of them.

When the 50th Battalion in Yerengou heard the charge, their faces, which had been ashen, became bright again in their eyes.

"The leader must be bringing people to rescue us!"

Ge Miao said excitedly.

Ge Miao is not afraid of death, but he cannot die with so many soldiers.

"We will break out in the direction where the charge is sounded!"

"This is our last chance to escape."

"rush!"

Ge Miao roared with all his strength.

The soldiers of the 50th Battalion followed Ge Miao in the charge.

"puff!"

Ge Miao was hit by another bullet in the back.

This was the critical moment in leading the soldiers to break out. Ge Miao knew very well that he could not make any mistakes, which would easily affect morale. He endured the pain in both parts of his body and led the soldiers to run quickly. He continued to fire with the heavy machine gun to suppress the fire. When the bullets were used up, he threw away the heavy machine gun and continued to fight with the submachine gun.
