"Buzz buzz-"
The roar of the U.S. bombers' motors was getting closer and closer, and a huge murderous aura enveloped the sky above Xiaogaoling.
All the soldiers of the seventh interleaved company ran into the air raid shelter, with a trace of solemnity on their faces.
"Attention, all aircraft, drop bombs immediately! Over..."
A U.S. Air Force colonel flashed a fierce look in his eyes and ordered over the radio.
After that, he grasped the joystick tightly and dived down quickly.
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, other US air forces narrowed their pupils and dived downwards wildly.
Due to the tight battle front, many US air forces took off continuously, with bloodshot eyes in their eyes.
At this moment, they were all suffocating in their hearts.
They wanted to drop hundreds of tons of bombs and flatten the small mountain range by several meters.
Only in this way can we defeat the volunteer army's encirclement defense line in one fell swoop, open the door for them to escape south, and get a chance to breathe.
In just a few seconds, the U.S. bombers that formed an "A" shape in the sky reached their lowest point.
The huge wind and waves directly bent the trunks of several dead trees, and the bomb drop bay was quickly opened.
"call out--"
"call out--"
"call out--"
In an instant, countless small black dots fell at an extremely fast acceleration with the sound of breaking wind.
Moreover, this time it was different from the sparse aerial bombs in the past.
Densely packed high-explosive bombs and white phosphorus incendiary bombs mixed together in the sky, forming a huge death net.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, a deafening explosion suddenly exploded.
Dozens of mushroom clouds crowded into the sky, blooming with huge light like dozens of suns.
At this moment, the earth trembles and the mountains and rivers glow red.
The US scout who was slightly closer was running back, but was suddenly shocked and staggered to the ground.
"oh my god!"
Under the small mountain ridge, Alexander, who was holding a telescope for observation, quickly put down the telescope, couldn't help but rub his eyes and exclaimed.
Feeling their eyes being flashed by strong light, countless American soldiers couldn't help but lower their heads, not daring to look directly.
In fact, it is not that they have never seen violent bombings.
However, they were basically bombings against a huge front, with fire clouds spreading out, and bombings taking turns to suppress them.
It's really rare to see all the bombs coming up and focus on a high ground like this.
Many U.S. soldiers even believed that no volunteers could survive such a bombing, and that the battle later would be as easy as a mountain climbing excursion.
……………………
At this moment, inside the air raid shelter
Countless sparkling stones were shaken off and scattered on the bodies of the soldiers of the 7th Interleaving Company.
"Damn it, these American devils have gone to great lengths to escape for their lives. They want to bury us alive here!"
Yu Congrong squatted in the corner of the air-raid shelter, constantly slapping the rocks and smoke dust on his body and cursing loudly.
"Fortunately, the company commander emphasized the reinforcement of the air raid shelter, otherwise our seventh interleaved company would be stuck here."
Pinghe wiped his blackened face, murmured, and looked at the entrance of the cave with some luck.
Numerous tree trunks and earth and stone structures were seen reinforcing the place. The entrance of the cave endured rounds of shock waves but remained still.
"This is only the first wave. When the bomb's impact point gets closer, I don't know if I can hold on."
A trace of solemnity appeared on Wu Qianli's face, and he murmured rather worriedly.
Sure enough, after a while, the explosion of aerial bombs got closer and closer.
The harsh ultra-decibel explosions stimulated the eardrums of the soldiers, and bursts of tinnitus could be heard.
Many soldiers in the reconnaissance platoon have taken off their cotton-padded uniforms and tightly wrapped their sniper rifles with high-precision sniper scopes to prevent the lenses from breaking.
"Pong——"
With the violent shaking of the earth, a box of bullets was directly bounced away, and countless yellow bullets scattered on the ground.
"not good!"
"Hurry up and protect the wooden box of the mortar shells, there must be no accidents!"
When Wu Qianli saw this situation, a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he quickly looked at Lei Gong.
You must know that in such a crowded air-raid shelter, once the mortar shells exploded one after another, the entire seventh intersecting company would be wiped out on the spot!
"Comrades in the artillery platoon, let me crush the shell boxes to death!"
Lei Gong shouted, and pressed the cannonball box tightly with his body. He dug his hands into the soil hard, and curled up to push the cannonball box against the wall.
Under the huge explosion, the soldiers in the artillery platoon could no longer hear Lei Gong's words, and could only see him shouting in vain with his mouth wide open.
However, when they saw Lei Gong's actions, they all understood and used their bodies to fix the shell box.
Seeing this situation, Mei Sheng couldn't help but feel his heart tightening.
In fact, the action of the artillery platoon has another meaning besides fixing the artillery shells.
That is, once the artillery shell explodes, they can use their flesh and blood to withstand part of the shrapnel and shock wave to avoid losses to the entire company.
"Sooner or later, our army will have to firmly control the air and cannot continue to be bombed like this..."
Wu Qianli looked at the sudden red light at the entrance of the cave, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
In the sky
"The bombing mission is completed, return immediately! Over..."
The U.S. Air Force colonel looked at the patches of scorched earth below, raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and said quickly.
Soon, the US bombers quickly pulled up, and soon a row of small black dots could be seen passing by at high speed.
Ten seconds after the explosion stopped, Wu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief and quickly waved to the soldiers, telling them to get out quickly.
The sweaty soldiers filed out of the cave entrance and immediately fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
The billowing black smoke from the explosion was about to seal the hole. If the US bombers hadn't left early, they might have fainted due to lack of oxygen.
"Have a good rest, sort out the guns and ammunition, and stuff your stomach with cans of chocolate."
"After this break, we probably won't have much time to eat."
Wu Qianli said, moving his gaze down the mountain, his eyes full of worry.
"Company Commander, thank you for warning us before you left that the Americans would bomb."
"If we hadn't prepared air raid shelters and fire breaks in advance, I might have had to explain it here."
Yu Congrong looked at the countless blazing flames below and said with lingering fear.
"Hey, think about it from another angle. The incendiary bombs set by the American devils also served as a temporary protective wall for us."
"When the American devils actually attack, we estimate that we will only have about twenty hours of defensive tasks left."
Lei Gong looked at the sky, laughed and said.
When Wu Qianli heard this, he couldn't help but smile, understanding that they meant to tell the soldiers to boost their morale.
"Come on, come on, let's all try Korean Bangzi's rice cakes. I plundered them from Bangzi before."
"But I used to rarely eat canned American food. Now I'm tired of it, so I try it all."
I saw Wu Wanli grabbing a few bags of rice cakes from his backpack, grinning with his chapped lips.
"Good boy, in our company, you are the best when it comes to food!"
Wu Qianli approached and took the rice cake and distributed it to the various soldiers.
The soldiers' eyes were also shining. They took this rare thing and placed it on the flames together with the US military cans to heat it.
Everyone also knew that the final battle would soon come, and most of the good things were taken out and eaten.
Amidst the fragrance, everyone was 70% full after eating, and then they picked up the guns in their hands and polished them lightly.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to enjoy the feeling of fullness, but it’s that being full can make your mind blurry. Only when you are 70% full can you maintain the highest level of concentration.
"Company commander, what do you think the American devils will do next?"
Mei Sheng used black oil to maintain the gun and asked Wu Qianli in a low voice.
Mei Sheng had always analyzed it calmly before, but after seeing Wu Qianli's extremely accurate judgment, he simply chose to trust it completely.
"If I were an American, I would definitely use my maximum strength and firepower advantage to attack the mountain with overwhelming force..."
Wu Qianli said, his heart sank slightly.
Faced with the absolute strength gap, it is no longer possible for the 7th Interpenetrating Company to defeat the US military.
They can only rely on procrastination and hold on for more than one day, then they will be considered victorious.
"Afraid of a ball? Didn't that polar bear group think the same way before? Wasn't it defeated by us!?"
"Company commander, don't worry, as long as the American devils dare to go up the mountain, we will definitely kill them all."
Yu Congrong suddenly pulled the bolt of the Browning heavy machine gun and said with fighting intent in his eyes.
"This time the situation is different. We no longer have the conditions to deploy mine arrays."
"Comrades, please put aside your arrogance. The American devils can lose countless times, but we...can't afford to lose even once."
Mei Sheng looked at the slightly sparse soldiers of the seventh interleaved company and whispered.
"Send the order and ask the comrades to count the ammunition and report it in a unified manner."
Wu Qianli suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up and ordered.
When Yu Congrong heard this, he couldn't help but feel a tremble in his heart when he thought of the fire platoon's previous firing.
The firepower of their all-armed and manned submachine guns is indeed fierce, but the bullets are pouring out very quickly.
Moreover, they were stationed alone in Xiaogaoling, with no logistical supplies and no way to go out to fight the autumn wind. The supply of bullets was almost cut off.
Sure enough, when Mei Sheng received a report on the ammunition status of each platoon to Wu Qianli, his face was a little ugly.
"Company Commander, your concerns are not wrong."
"Based on the current ammunition situation, we can only sustain high-intensity continuous firepower for about nine hours."
Mei Sheng handed over the ammunition situation to Wu Qianli and said with some worry.
"Nine hours of high-intensity firepower, you have to be careful..."
"How is the condition of the artillery platoon's shells? How many rounds can it still bomb?"
Wu Qianli frowned and estimated the upcoming battle, nodded slightly, and continued to ask.
"Reporting to the company commander, it is estimated that there are only seven or eight rounds of artillery shells left."
Lei Gong, who was standing on the other side, cleared his throat and said loudly.
"Okay, that's enough!"
"Yu Congrong, I will give all the machine guns and submachine guns in the company to your fire platoon."
"You must hold on to the southern position for me. You must not let an American soldier break through the position!"
Wu Qianli turned to look at Yu Congrong and said seriously.
"Don't worry, company commander. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely hold on to our position!"
Yu Congrong took a deep breath and promised loudly and seriously.
"Lei Gong, your artillery platoon is responsible for supporting the defensive artillery attack. Do not fire unless it is absolutely necessary."
Wu Qianli thought for a moment and then told Duke Lei.
"yes!"
Lei Gong was quite confident in his timing of the bombardment and immediately responded loudly.
"Pinghe, you lead the reconnaissance platoon and follow me."
"I have a hunch that the American devils will not be willing to fight against the steep southern slope that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Wu Qianli held his chin and thought for a moment, then spoke slowly to Pinghe.
"yes!"
Hearing this, Pinghe agreed on the spot, but some doubts also emerged in his heart.
Wu Qianli guessed that the US military would take a detour and sneak attack. Of course he believed in this possibility.
However, there are so many small roads, coupled with the number and speed of the US military attack, it is difficult to determine the location, and it is really difficult to attack.
"Don't worry, everything is under control."
Wu Qianli seemed to see Pinghe's doubts, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said.
He is sitting on a dynamic combat map, which has overcome all the problems that Pinghe was worried about, so he has such great confidence.

U.S. Army Attack Command
While the seventh interleaved company was preparing for war, Alexander also gathered all the officers from the battalion and above here to discuss the next attack.
"Sir, the volunteers must have suffered heavy losses from the indiscriminate bombing."
"We might as well concentrate our forces, deploy our forces to the south, and cooperate with the bombardment of howitzers to smash through their defense lines!"
An American battalion commander looked at Alexander eagerly and suggested loudly.
However, when Alexander heard the word "howitzer", his face instantly turned pale and he felt a little embarrassed.
Before he told the reinforcements, the first batch of howitzers had been blown up by the volunteers, and their offensive heavy firepower would be seriously insufficient.
"No! The losses caused by beating the soldiers like this are too great. I don't want to use the bones of soldiers to pave the way for my achievements!"
Alexander pretended to love his soldiers as much as his own son, and sternly rejected the battalion commander's suggestion.
When the reinforcement officers present heard this, their eyes lit up with some emotion.
"Cough cough cough..."
At this moment, the American officer who had experienced the five-thousand-mile assault blushed, and coughed to hide it with some embarrassment.
"I thought of a way to eliminate this group of volunteers with minimal casualties."
Alexander glared at the coughing American officer and said slowly.
"Please give the order, sir!"
All the officers sat up straight and responded loudly.
"The two regiments of reinforcements are responsible for taking turns to feign attacks in the south to attract the attention of the volunteers."
"The 1st Marine Regiment directly under my command will be divided into more than a dozen small troops. They will go up the mountain from the path and surprise the back of the volunteers. We will decide the outcome in one battle!"
Alexander said, slamming the table and standing up.
"Yes, sir!"
The US military officers stood up straight and responded excitedly.
Alexander looked at the reinforcements officer's appearance, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After he sent the telegram, he went to investigate again, and then he realized that the volunteer army might not have even a battalion.
After learning about it, he reported that there was a division and broke out in cold sweat on his back.
He seemed to have seen the scene in which he was shot afterward for lying about military information.
It is normal for the military situation to be mixed with water, but if it affects the strategic layout, no one can protect him.
That's why he thought of letting the friendly forces take charge of the feint attack and leading his troops in a surprise attack to destroy the troops. This would make it much easier to cover up many things.
Soon, when the flames on the mountain gradually extinguished, the US military units also completed their formation, and everyone stared at the position of Xiaogaoling Mountain with fierce eyes.
"Call the entire army to go up the mountain immediately and launch an attack!"
Alexander drew his pistol and roared loudly.
After that, he himself led a reinforced company of troops and quietly rushed away from a small road.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The American soldiers with high morale roared loudly and climbed up the mountain.
For a time, nearly 10,000 elite American troops almost covered the southern hillside, searching for traces of volunteers with murderous intent.
