Volume 2 The Second Battle Chapter 35: Battle of Hill 299 (Part 9)
"Fight!" I shouted, pulled the grenade and threw it into the fire. Gunfire soon rang out, and the American soldier in the front row holding the fire extinguisher was shot and fell to the ground.
The sudden attack startled the American troops, who all lay on the ground and fired back. They never thought that we could organize an effective defense in such a situation.
Even the veterans who participated in World War II could not have imagined this, because if the same situation happened in World War II, the defenders on the hill would either have died or lost all will to fight and retreated. Not to mention that the petrol bombs are poisonous, the gases produced by the burning would be unbearable, and they would not have organized a defense on this volcano like they are doing now.
But what they could not have imagined was what was coming next...
"Boom boom..." Several explosions were heard from the blazing fires surrounding the U.S. troops. The flames exploded in front of the stunned U.S. troops, just like a grenade thrown into a mud pile and exploding and splashing mud. The liquid combustibles turned into thousands of rockets that shot towards the U.S. troops with a whistling sound.
The burning product of the napalm bomb was as light and sticky as lard ointment, and it was at a high altitude, so it was blown far away by the grenade, covering an area of more than 100 meters, causing the American soldiers to scream in pain.
Needless to say, the American soldiers who were closest to the battlefield were splashed with the most fire spots. Some of them were directly set on fire, screaming like crazy and waving their arms and legs for help. Without exception, everyone he came into contact with was set on fire and suffered secondary burns.
There was an American soldier in front of me who was hit on the face by a piece of fire the size of an egg. It seemed no big deal, but the soldier was in severe pain and subconsciously slapped his hands. The more he slapped, the more fire started to burn. Soon his entire face and both hands were on fire. After a while, he knelt on the ground and slowly fell down. His fingers with fire dug deeply into the mud , and his feet twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Although the U.S. troops far away were less splashed, they had no knowledge of how to deal with incendiary bombs , so the scene was in chaos. The U.S. military had always used incendiary bombs to bomb others, and never thought that one day they would experience the same fate. Therefore, they did not have any knowledge of how to deal with incendiary bombs in their training.
Some soldiers only had a small fire on their bodies. Actually, they only needed to take off their clothes quickly. But they panicked and rolled on the ground , trying to put out the fire in this way. But to their despair, as they rolled, the fire on the ground became more and more, and the fire on his body also became more and more, until his whole body became a pile of fire...
The soldiers around him tried to help him out of the fire, but they found that no matter what they used to put out the fire, it would only make the fire grow bigger and even burn themselves. The liquid burning substance of the gasoline bomb can even burn for a long time on steel, stone, and water, not to mention that they were using clothes, quilts and other flammable materials to put out the fire.
With a "bang", my gun went off, but this time it was not out of humanitarianism to shoot the American soldiers in the sea of fire, but an American soldier who grabbed the fire extinguisher on the ground and tried to help his comrade put out the fire.
Napalm bombs are indeed inhumane, so this type of bomb will be banned in the near future. However, the Americans played a word game. Since napalm bombs were banned, they used incendiary bombs that have a similar effect to napalm bombs.
Their humanity and democracy only apply to their own people, while when it comes to foreign countries, they think more about their own interests.
War is a fight to the death, a fight to the death, and there is no humanity at all. Humanity can only be squeezed out a little bit when the other side surrenders or has no ability to resist, and has no impact on the overall situation of the war.
"Bang bang!" There were a few more gunshots. I targeted the American soldiers who were picking up fire extinguishers, and allowed the fire to spread among the American soldiers. Since they were very close to each other, the fire affected hundreds of people in a short while.
The U.S. military retreated, leaving behind hundreds of comrades on fire, leaving them screaming on the hilltop, leaving them calling for help in front of the position... They made a wise choice. If they had stayed here any longer, far more than just the hundreds of people would have died.
However, when they left, they all turned around to look at the tragic scene behind them, and from time to time they flashed vicious and ferocious glances at our positions, as if they were vowing to avenge their comrades.
Seeing this, I wanted to rush forward and slap him twice. Damn it, you are allowed to burn us, but we are not allowed to burn you? I am just giving him a taste of his own medicine, and you are still getting excited...
"Wow..." There were several vomiting sounds coming from not far away. Upon closer inspection, it was Comrade Xiao Jin, who was probably frightened by the tragic scene of hundreds of American soldiers being burned to death. In fact, it was not just her. Many volunteer soldiers turned their heads away when they saw the scene . Although they were used to seeing various ways of death, this was the first time they had seen hundreds of people struggling in the fire.
But only Hu Zi ran over with an excited look on his face and shouted, "Hey, it's fun to fight. We can let those American devils have a taste of being burned. Back then, Zhuge Liang burned the Tengjia soldiers, and today we will burn the American devils, haha..."
“Woo…”
Before Hu Zi could finish, strange howls came from the sky again, and the enemy began to attack again. Perhaps they wanted to reduce the suffering of the more than 100 American soldiers in front of the position, and their target was actually the American soldiers in the sea of fire. In just a moment, the dead and the alive American soldiers struggling and rolling in the sea of fire in front of the position were torn into pieces and could no longer be found.
In an instant, there were broken limbs everywhere, and blood dyed the entire battlefield red, connecting with the fire around us that had not yet been extinguished, turning it into a hell of blood and fire.
No wonder there were so many missing persons in the Korean War. I suddenly understood this. Most of the so-called missing persons were bombed to pieces or burned beyond recognition. The US military still had military license plates to identify them, but the Chinese People's Volunteer Army...
The enemy's artillery fire quickly extended to the rear, and the volunteers hid in the air-raid shelters without waiting for orders. What awaited the volunteers was another attack by the US military.
