Chapter 406 Rock Climbing

"Where are they people, where did they go!"

Company Commander Lei hurriedly asked.

The scout said: "Company commander, the first platoon leader led the rest of the soldiers to continue to penetrate the high ground, saying that they want to attack from the enemy's rear to reduce the pressure on the front line. This is what the comrades of the third squad in the first row told me."

Lei Lian said: "They acted without authorization, Xia Yuan is also a veteran, why did he lose the chain at a critical moment!"

Instructor Shao said: "Old Lei, you can't say that. The platoon leader's current combat effectiveness is known to everyone. If you shoot well with a gun, you can throw grenades accurately and far. On the ground, he was right to choose to penetrate from behind the enemy."

"Then he should tell me in advance, if he doesn't say anything, he will act without authorization! If there are any unforeseen consequences, he can't bear the responsibility!" Company Commander Lei was angry not because Xia Yuan took the responsibility with him. People went to penetrate the enemy's rear, but did not raise their heads to greet him when they acted.

On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to act without authorization. This is a kind of irresponsibility for the duties of soldiers and irresponsibility for the lives of soldiers.

"When the battle is over, let Xia Yuan come to see me, and I will criticize him properly!" Company Commander Lei said, "Tan Zhanbiao, take someone to bring over the things you seized later."

Tan Zhanbiao, who was packing up Qiu Shitian's body, shouted from afar: "Yes!"

He lowered his head and squeezed Qiu Shitian's honor strip tightly into his pocket, shoveled a shovel of soil with an engineer shovel, sprinkled it on Qiu Shitian's body, and said, "Old Qiu, we have known each other for seven years, and now you are leaving." At the end of the day, just rest here, and the task of defending the country will be left to us."

Wang Xiaoliang's eyes were blurred with tears, and now he deeply understands the cruelty of war. There are more than a dozen people in a squad, and now there are only three of them left, and the other soldiers have all died.

Liu Tiezhu wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Why cry, pack up your equipment, we'll never end with foreign devils!"

Wang Xiaoliang clenched his fists: "I want to avenge them!!"

Chen Lie carried the bullet bag seized from the U.S. Army and replenished his own bullets. Hearing that Company Commander Lei was getting angry, he said to Big Ma, who was groping his head and touching the corpse of the foreign devil: "Old Xia acted without permission. Angry."

"Why don't you have anything? The foreign devils are too poor."

The big man found a grenade, put it in his arms, lowered his head and continued to search, scolding as he searched: "Old Xia must have his reasons for acting without authorization. I am good, dare to fight, dare to fight, and shoot. We were not as good as you before, but now we are not as good as him. We have never failed in attacking tough battles. He has many ideas and ideas. Since he came to the Korean battlefield, Lao Xia We can all see the changes in him, he is getting better and better."

He found a bullet in the soil, picked it up and blew it, and said: "It is very likely that he found something, but due to time reasons, he did not come to report to the company commander, just wait, he will definitely give us a bullet." surprise."

"Old Ma, I didn't see it, but you are quite smart sometimes!"

"Hahahaha, that is, my cleverness, but you have never discovered it."

Xia Yuan led Zhou Xingyong's squad. After seven or eight soldiers captured the enemy's dangerous place, they captured another prisoner. From this prisoner, they got a very unexpected piece of information.

The enemy on the 336 high ground has only one company's troops left.

The news came as a surprise.

After inquiring about the situation, I learned that it turned out that the second battalion could not attack Height 336, and then withdrew its troops, making the enemy mistakenly think that the Volunteers had given up the idea of ​​attacking Height 336, so they withdrew other troops to open up other battlefields, leaving only one company on the high ground. of the U.S. military.

Highland 336 was so large that a company of U.S. troops had to be divided into squads to garrison some important routes, and the arrival of their first battalion frightened the American devils, and they immediately sought reinforcements from their superiors.

On the frontal battlefield, the second company and the third company have already fought against the US military on the 336 highland, and encountered the enemy's long-range artillery strikes. The first company encountered the enemy in the forward direction and was pinned there. As soon as the troops arrive, they will fall into the same situation as the second battalion.

Xia Yuan immediately decided to go all the way from their current position, after being able to touch the enemy's butt, give the enemy a hard blow to open up the situation.

Xia Yuan killed the captives, and then sent a soldier to look at the spoils, and waited until the company commander sent someone to tell him his plan of action. The commander did not tell the company commander Xia Yuan's battle plan.

The sun was shining on the ground, and it was past noon, but there was still a lingering chill in the bright sunlight.

Xia Yuan led people to attack the enemy's highland from the other direction of the 336 highland. The mountain at this location was steep, almost 90 degrees vertical, and below was a cliff tens of meters high. There was no way for them.

Zhou Xingyong glanced at the cliff tens of meters high, and said, "Platoon leader, there is no way ahead, what should we do now?"

Xia Yuan frowned, and said, "No wonder we wiped out the enemy's platoon and haven't met the enemy until now. It turns out that the enemy has long known that walking this way is a cliff!"

He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the steep cliff as high as a three-story building, and said, "It's too late to go back now, we can only go up from here to the enemy's buttocks, and cooperate with the front troops to cooperate with the inside and outside, maybe even Have the opportunity."

Zhou Xingyong said again: "Platoon leader, what should we do if we still haven't reached the high ground after we go up?"

"Then keep going until you get there!"

Xia Yuan put the gun behind his back and said, "I'll try to see if I can climb well, and if I can't climb well, I'll make another plan!"

Lao Yang grabbed him and said, "Lao Xia, don't be rash."

Xia Yuan said: "Don't be reckless, if I can't even climb up, then we will retreat, there are vines in the forest, if you can climb up, I will use the vines to make a rope and bring you all up, we will go in from behind, front and back If not, the American devils will be defeated, their willpower is not strong."

After a pause, looking at Lao Yang's worried eyes, he comforted him again: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

He stretched out his hand to grab the stone and took a deep breath. It was almost a vertical cliff. Even though Xia Yuan had a system and a strong personal quality, he had almost no experience in rock climbing, so he came up to this almost vertical cliff.When the whole person was pressed against the wall, his fingers had turned blue-white due to the force, and his body was always lying backwards. If he accidentally fell, he would be doomed.

"This kind of rock climbing is still difficult for me."

Rock climbing requires skill, and it cannot be done with brute force. Xia Yuan's physical fitness is stronger than any ordinary person, but it is only brute force. If he hadn't been a martial artist since elementary school, he would probably be a person with strong strength without any physical strength. A barbarian of skill.

Rock climbing also requires skills. Fortunately, he has a system. The power of the system makes up for this shortcoming. When he starts rock climbing, the skills appear in the skill box. Also started to improve.

"Old Xia, be careful."

Lao Yang exhorted.

"Don't worry, it's not a big problem for me."

Xia Yuan took a deep breath, grabbed a stone with his hands, and first tried to see if the stone was stable with all his strength. After confirming that the stone was firm, he grabbed the stone with all his strength, stepped upwards, and stepped on a concave groove , After the two points could firmly support his body, he began to move the remaining one hand and one foot.

Don't be in a hurry when climbing rocks, you have to take every step steadily, and if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and there will be no bones left.

At first, when he didn't have rock climbing skills, he was very careful with every step he took. He might have to wait for a minute before he dared to continue. It doesn't look like a novice who has just started.

Soon, he was halfway up the climb, and the soldiers behind couldn't help but sweat for Xia Yuan. The real difficulty is from now on. At this moment, Xia Yuan has no way out. imagined.

Loose stones and soil kept falling from the top, and the hearts of the soldiers were constantly being affected as Xia Yuan continued to rise. Fortunately, Xia Yuan took every step steadily without any accidents. The process was really shocking and safe. Grabbing a raised stone on the mountain, with a little force, he sent his body up.

It was still dark, and every move on his side could be discovered by secret enemies at any time, so Xia Yuan was very cautious. First, he exposed half of his head to observe, and after confirming that there was no danger around him, he climbed up and said back:

"You wait here, I'll come as soon as I go!"

In this kind of mountain forest, there are many rattans wrapped around the trees. Xia Yuan tore off the rattans with a bayonet, twined four rattans together, and wove them into a thick rope. up a tree, and down the other end.

Lao Yang said happily: "Old Xia has a way, comrades, hold on to the rope, let's go up!"

Zhou Xingyong took the lead, put the gun behind his back, grabbed the rattan, stepped on the cliff with his feet, and climbed up bit by bit, while Xia Yuan grabbed the rattan above and pulled it up vigorously. It took less than half a minute , Zhou Xingyong was dragged up, and the soldiers were dragged up by Xia Yuan in this way one by one.

At this moment, there are only six of them left. In the previous battle, many comrades were sacrificed.

Xia Yuan simply held a small meeting: "We may encounter the enemy in a while. Group three or three and divide into two combat groups. Don't be too far apart, otherwise it will be difficult to support. If you encounter the enemy's bunker, If you can’t fight, retreat immediately, our task is to harass, seek opportunities in the harassing, not attack by force!”

Guerrilla tactics are applicable at any time, especially in the third row behind the enemy at this moment.

The soldiers nodded heavily and held the guns in their hands tightly. The six were divided into two combat groups. Xia Yuan led Zhou Xingyong and another veteran soldier named Wu Ping. The other two soldiers were commanded by Lao Yang to form the second battle group.

Xia Yuan asked Zhou Xingyong to be the commander of the group. He and Wu Ping, as the two sharp knives in the group, leaped forward alternately and approached the enemy's rear position.

Another battle group was more than 20 meters away from them, and they also advanced in the form of interactive leaps in the dense forest.

According to Xia Yuan's plan, if he could break through the enemy's rear artillery position and occupy it, he would be able to rely on the rear position to contain some US troops and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

336 Heights, the 336st Battalion, [-]nd Company and [-]rd Company are in a bitter battle. Although the enemy has only one company on [-] Heights, this company can call for long-range artillery fire to support, bombing the [-]nd and [-]rd Company, howitzers are loud God, it's deafening.

There was scorched earth on the attacking road of the entire first battalion, and the remains of the soldiers blasted by the artillery fire were everywhere. With the release of a new round of enemy artillery fire, the soldiers in charge of the blasting rushed to the enemy's fire bunker in groups. Under the continuous venting of the enemy's artillery fire, the soldiers held the guns in their hands and shot at the enemy against the enemy's artillery fire. The soil rolled up by the artillery fire fell to the ground like a torrential rain.

The enemy's heavy machine guns were hidden in the bunker, continuously spraying out chains of fire, and the bullets puffed into the bodies of the soldiers holding the explosive packs and holding the blasting barrels, and they fell on the road of charge like this.

"Next group!"

Six fighters, two combat teams, crouched behind the reverse slope holding explosive packs, above their heads, enemy bullets drifted by like raindrops,
The distance between the second company and the third company was repeatedly opened by the enemy's artillery fire. The soldiers fought hard for half an hour, and the progress was slow. The 336 highland is also a superior terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially on the north side, where the mountains are steep. The enemy's firepower point was on the top of the mountain, condescending, and the bullets were more like dense raindrops, swishing past the soldiers' heads.

Before the soldiers who rushed forward got close to the enemy's bunker, they were pierced by the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets and fell to the ground.

The fighting on the front line was extremely brutal.

Instructor Shao, the commander of Lei Lian, came with the first company. They found Commander Li and asked about the situation. Commander Li said: "The second company and the third company are in a bitter battle. The foreign devils occupy the superior terrain and have established many firepower points. The most amazing thing is that they can also call in artillery from a distance to carry out uninterrupted bombing of our soldiers fighting on the front line. The second company and the first row responsible for the main attack mission have basically been wiped out, and the second row is on the top."

Instructor Shao glanced at the sky and said, "Battalion Commander, we can attack at night, it's getting dark now."

Battalion Commander Li said: "We are now entangled with the foreign devils. The foreign devils' artillery still dare not be unscrupulous. I am afraid that once we retreat, the foreign devils' aircraft and cannons will be unscrupulous."

Instructor Shao said: "Then we can't advance or retreat now."

Battalion Commander Li said: "Not necessarily. Although the attack on Highland 336 is progressing slowly, it is not that there is no progress at all. The soldiers of the Second Company have already broken through to the enemy's forward position. The enemy's long-range artillery fire can only bomb our rear. , they dare not bomb."
