The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 403 Smooth Tongguli Battle

The victory of this battle is closely related to the terrain, and it is also closely related to the carelessness of the American devils. There is only one small road, with mountains on one side and ditches on the other. After knocking out the two tanks at the front and rear, The tanks of the American devils can no longer move, and they are living targets.

The headquarters of the Volunteer Army called to ask for the battle situation of the [-]th Regiment. The chief of staff of the regiment wrote written materials and reported it to the headquarters. A reckless charge requires more brains and learning to take advantage of the terrain.

The [-]th Division pointed out that Deputy Commander Duan said: "Teacher, although all the regiments are progressing smoothly, I think we should withdraw the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment, which is the farthest away from us. On the one hand, the [-]th Regiment After the first battalion wiped out an infantry battalion of the enemy, it also suffered heavy casualties, and on the other hand, in case of any situation, the troops are not easy to control."

Deputy Commander Duan's worry was roughly the same as Commander Zheng's previous premonition. The [-]st Battalion, which had experienced a big victory, forgot its own casualties and marched forward. In just one day, it had several encounters with the US military in the Tongguli area. not exactly.

According to the news from the 30st Battalion, the [-]st Company’s combat effectiveness is very strong, and every task assigned can be successfully completed. The [-]st Company’s commander, Lei Xueming, is a talent for commanding battles. Their company has a platoon leader with strong combat effectiveness. When fighting a tough battle, with a large eight-grain, it destroyed several bunkers of the American devils, and could throw an anti-tank grenade more than [-] meters away, blowing up the enemy's tanks, and charging was no problem.

Dare to fight.

Such people should be brought back.

Master Zheng glanced at him, moved his lips, and said nothing.

Director Wu said: "All the troops are fighting well now. If you ask the first battalion to withdraw from Tongguli, they may not be able to change their minds."

Deputy Division Commander Duan said: "If you can't turn around, you have to turn around. Although the first battalion fought well, they dared to fight hard, especially the first company. I have also seen the situation, but this is not like the normal state of the enemy. Whether it is the eastern front or our frontal battlefield, some US military positions only retreat in an orderly manner after a symbolic counterattack. If this is a conspiracy, we are now If you don’t retreat, you may be surrounded by the enemy.”

Deputy Teacher Duan's worries are justified.

At present, the head of the Corps is using the remaining two divisions of the [-]th Army to fight on the Eastern Front of the Three Corps. There are already tens of thousands of people on the Eastern Front who have been mixed together. If the situation on the Eastern Front is good, the enemy will It is certain to send reinforcements to join, and it must pass through the territory of the [-]th Division. The strength of only one division may not be able to withstand the enemy several times more.

The most critical point is that the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment and the [-]nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment were assisting the large corps in the direction of Tongguli. Several large gaps appeared in the central front, which was already empty of troops.

At this time, the large corps of the left neighbor was besieging and annihilating the enemy in Hanxi, about ten kilometers away from the 63th Division. Although the 19rd Army of the right neighbor had crossed the Bukhan River, it was far away from the [-]th Division. A huge gap appeared at the joint between the Corps and the No.[-] Corps, but the U.S. Seventh Division retreated relatively quickly, and they did not find this huge gap.

There is only one [-]th Division under the [-]th Army, which is completely unable to defend the entire central front. This gap is bound to become a fatal loophole, but there is no way to plug this loophole, and it can only be left there.

Teacher Zheng said: "Long Zhang, your worries are justified. You must explain this matter clearly to the heads of the regiments. In addition, after the first battalion is withdrawn, the second battalion will be sent there, and the first battalion will take over from the second battalion. mission, go to Height 336."

The 336 highland is in a state of no troops to attack. The second battalion has completed the task more satisfactorily. It will replace the first battalion and continue to search the Tongguli area. The first battalion sharp knife company is very suitable for attacking the 336 highland.

Director Wu said: "The 336 highland is steep and steep. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is only one highland where one battalion of the enemy is stationed. The second battalion fought all night, but they failed to take down, which caused heavy casualties. Wouldn't it be good to fight with the first battalion?"

Master Zheng pondered: "On the first night, the first battalion and one company broke through three highlands of the enemy with one company's strength. The battalion, company and platoon leader even used the US semi-automatic rifles to destroy the US military's bunker. There is a battalion of the enemy's troops stationed on the high ground, and no one is more suitable for the battle of fortification, so let them try."

Director Wu thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Do you need to add some people to the first battalion?"

Master Zheng said: "Where are there people? We only have the [-]th Division left in the [-]th Army. There is only one guard platoon left in the division headquarters, and only one engineer company left in the military headquarters. Those who can be sent have already been sent out. There is no one left." To replenish the first battalion, we can only wait for the battle to end before trying to find a way to replenish the first battalion.”

The division headquarters is also facing a shortage of manpower. Those who can be sent out have been sent to assist the logistics to deliver weapons, ammunition and food. However, as the battle time continues to advance, the speed of food and ammunition consumption on the front line is already beyond the logistics. Sooner or later they will run out of food and ammunition.

Deputy Commander Duan immediately wrote a letter to the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment, ordering the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment to withdraw from Tongguli to fight, take over the task of the [-]nd Battalion, and attack the [-]th Highland.

The first battalion that received the letter was already late at night after half a day.

The moon is bright.

They were attacking the enemy on a hilltop, and broke through to the enemy's forward position in a row. Xia Yuan led a platoon and rushed from behind the enemy. on the artillery positions.

The second and third platoons feigned a frontal attack, and when they heard the sound of explosions from behind the enemy, Ma, who was suppressed by the enemy's machine gun fire, was overjoyed: "Hahaha, it must be Lao Xia, it must be, wait, foreign devil , Grandpa will give you peanuts later."

As the first row pierced behind the enemy, the enemy's defense on this hill collapsed instantly, and the pressure on the second and third rows in the front dropped sharply. With the sound of the whistle, the soldiers jumped out of the trench and rushed to the enemy's position, three three one The groups leap forward alternately, the enemy is not the opponent of the volunteers at all, they are beaten and run away, and the US soldiers can be seen fleeing everywhere in the position. Falling on the position, there are corpses of American devils everywhere, and the impact points of the explosion after the shells fell everywhere.

All the bunkers of the American devils have been destroyed, and the enemy's fortifications on the position are in a mess.

This kind of high ground battle with no advantage in terrain is showing a tendency to be completely crushed. Company Commander Lei said: "I have never discovered that Xia Yuan actually has the ability to penetrate in him before. It would be a bit overkill for him to attack tough areas. He can completely rely on a row of troops." Interspersed, positive containment, a row of interspersed successfully, the frontal pressure will be greatly reduced."

Instructor Shao said with a smile: "When Xia Yuan attacked Height 311, he shot and killed the U.S. troops in the bunker with a big eight. Whether it was attacking a fortification or interspersing, this guy has some skills. With him, our task of attacking a fortification is indeed true." It has become a lot easier, at least there is no need to organize a blasting team to blast the US military bunker, and Xia Yuan can completely rely on Xia Yuan to shoot and kill the US military in the bunker, which can greatly reduce the casualties of our company."

Company Commander Lei nodded and said: "Xia Yuan has become a lot more stable now and is no longer the same as before. This is a good thing. After this battle is over, we must record all their achievements and report them to the division headquarters. "

Instructor Shao said: "Don't worry, I've already started recording."

The communications soldier from the battalion headquarters ran over, "Company Commander Lei, Instructor Shao, the battalion headquarters has a meeting, let you return to the team with the company after the battle is over."

Instructor Shao nodded: "Okay, the battle is basically over, tell the platoon leader to lead someone to clean up the battlefield, let's go back to the battalion headquarters first, and let them come back after they clean up the battlefield."

On the battlefield, the communications soldier ran over and shouted: "First platoon commander, the company commander asked you to clean up the battlefield, and return to the battalion headquarters after cleaning the battlefield."

Xia Yuan had a bunch of bullet bags hanging on his body, and was bending over to take off an American devil's clothes, when he heard the voice, he raised his head and shouted: "Got it."

He also ordered the soldiers in a row: "Pick up weapons, ammunition and food, don't pick up helmets, that thing is not bulletproof, one shot will still be knocked down, with the possibility of being hit by friendly troops as enemies, take off the thermal clothing inside Yes, put it on."

"Platoon leader, platoon leader, look what I found."

Wang Xiaoliang ran over excitedly holding a box.

"Hey, the cans of the American devils are pretty good. Find more and take them away. These things are more expensive than weapons and ammunition."

Xia Yuan took out a box of canned food. There was a key to open the canned food on the lid of the canned food. The lock was on the side of the canned food. With the key, the canned food could be easily opened without any effort to remove the canned food.

After opening the lid, Xia Yuan grinned: "This is the C-type breakfast for the U.S. field infantry."

After opening the cover, there is a small box of Nice coffee in an aluminum package on the top, and there are three sugar cubes below, one white paper package and two yellow paper packages. These are two kinds of sugar cubes with different flavors. A piece of fruit candy, wrapped in transparent plastic, two pieces of yellow candy and one piece of green candy. Putting the candy and sugar cube into his pocket, Xia Yuan opened one and chewed it in his mouth.

Sweet and delicious, Xia Yuan threw one to Wang Xiaoliang, "Try it."

Wang Xiaoliang held it in his hand and looked at it, and said to Xia Yuan: "Platoon leader, this thing is so beautifully wrapped."

After tearing off the outer sugar paper, he licked it with his tongue and said, "It's still sweet."

After sweetening it a few more times, until the candy wrapper lost its taste, I put the candy in my pocket and put the candy in my mouth. A happy smile appeared on my face blackened by the gunfire: "It's so sweet."

Xia Yuan smiled, "Look again, these cans will be brought back to the battalion headquarters to supplement nutrition for the wounded."

"Hey!"

Wang Xiaoliang happily left with a candy in his mouth.

Looking at the can in his hand, Xia Yuan took off the parchment paper separating the candies and food, and placed four biscuits underneath.He looked down in the box again, and saw that there was an accessory bag next to the can, and the instructions for using the water purification tablets were printed on the back. He picked one up and tore it apart.

He took out a small box of Chesterfield cigarettes from the inside, only the size of two fingers, and wrapped it with a layer of cellophane to prevent moisture. Xia Yuan sighed: "This American devil's breakfast is so luxurious."

Putting the cigarettes in the pocket and continuing to fumble, there is a small piece of Wrigley's chewing gum, corn syrup softener and flavoring, and a pack of Waldorf Astoria toilet paper, made by the Scott Paper Company for the military , used to wipe the butt.

Finally, there are a small piece of matches and a bottle of [-] pieces of water purification tablets. They are all miniature to save space, and there are tips on how to prevent malaria printed on the back of the small matches.

Apart from that, there is nothing else, put things away, Xia Yuan opened the cigarette, there were nine cigarettes inside, put them neatly, took out one and put it in his mouth, opened a small piece of match, struck one, A weak flame was ignited, he sucked hard, exhaled comfortably, and shook it casually, and he threw the match away as soon as it went out.

Big Ma came over: "What are you doing? See what I have seized."

He was holding a few intact Thomsons in his arms, with American grenades and bullets hanging on his body. Seeing Xia Yuan sitting on a rock, smoking a cigarette leisurely, he walked over and couldn't help but ask, "Where are you from?" of?"

"We lined up among the cans seized by Comrade Wang Xiaoliang from the U.S. military. If we couldn't smoke them, I would open one."

Xia Yuan held a cigarette in one hand, exhaled a long stream of white mist from his mouth, squinted his eyes, reached into his pocket with the other hand, took out a piece of candy and threw it to the big man, who put the gun on the ground and held it That piece of candy, "Isn't that sugar?"

"Try it."

Big Ma took it apart and chewed it in his mouth: "It's so sweet, is there any more?"

"And three sugar cubes."

Xia Yuan put the cigarette on his mouth, and took out three cubes of sugar from his pocket, "When you are making fried noodles, throw one in, the batter will become very sweet. Take it."

The big man stepped forward and grinned: "You still know how to eat."

He looked at the cans on the ground again, and said, "Just a few cans, that's not enough. We still have more than 80 people, not enough."

"Just taste it. These cans will be sent to the hospital of the battalion headquarters to be eaten by the wounded. This stuff can supplement nutrition. When we win the battle in the future, we will then capture it and give it to the soldiers."

This is just a canned breakfast. Wang Xiaoliang only found one box. It is estimated that the military rations of the US military are difficult to find. After being killed, these grains not only failed to be given to their own soldiers, but also became nutrients for the enemy.
