The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Xia Yuan didn't have a clue for a while, and kept thinking about the countermeasures. He might be able to go in alone, but after he got in, or before he got in, he was discovered by the enemy.

Everything is possible. Although he has a cheat, he is not an invincible cheat. He is still an ordinary person in essence. After being shot, he will leave later than ordinary people at most, and it will be relatively painful.

However, what he possesses is the unique vision and gaze beyond this world.

A word from Battalion Commander Li woke him up.

While Xia Yuan was thinking, Battalion Commander Li also began to make corresponding arrangements, "A single trench will not be able to deal with the US artillery attack tomorrow, and there are no tasks tonight. Do more work on the position. The construction of the reverse slope can Anti-battery trenches to hide from enemy fire, don't let what happened today happen again."

artillery!

Xia Yuan's brain suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he immediately stared at the ravine drawn by Comrade Xiao Qin on the ground, and immediately asked: "Comrade Xiao Qin, what is the width and length of this ravine?"

Comrade Xiao Qin thought about it for a while, and said: "It must be tens of meters. The mountain pass is small, and it is estimated to be 40 meters. It feels quite wide inside."

Xia Yuan asked again: "How do these mountains look like from the outside?"

Comrade Xiao Qin recalled, saying: "The mountains are relatively steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and many of them are cliffs. The enemy occupies the top of the mountain and is condescending."

Xia Yuan then asked: "Is the direction of the mountain east-west, or north-south?"

Xiao Qin said: "The road is just three kilometers away from this location in the east-west direction."

"There are enemies on the mountain, and the enemy built a machine gun bunker on the mountainside. Although it is simple, it is not an easy task to build a machine gun bunker in such an environment."

Xia Yuan squinted, pointed at the model of the ravine on the ground and said, "It can only be explained that the mountains on both sides of this ravine are cliffs on the outside, but the terrain on the inside is relatively flat and wide, which is easy to climb."

"The direction of the mountain is east-west again."

He vaguely got what he wanted to know.

The conversation between the two of them attracted Battalion Commander Li, who was giving orders to the company commanders. They stopped talking and listened to their conversation.

Xiao Qin said: "Yes, there are many protruding rocks on the mountain. The enemy's bunker is built with sandbags. The top is built with logs and sandbags, and there are lighting equipment halfway up the mountain. I want to transport them up from the outside. , it’s really not easy, and there’s a high probability that it’s transported up from the inside.”

Battalion Commander Li interjected: "If such a natural terrain is carefully modified, it can be used as a base. Heavy troops are deployed on the ridges on both sides. The mountain pass is blocked, and it is completely a gun tower built on the mountain."

Everyone else nodded. This kind of terrain is amazing. It is no wonder that the foreign devils occupy this position. It is indeed a good position, but it is a pity that this position is too deep.

The commander of the third company folded his arms and said to the instructor of the third company next to him: "Unless there is heavy firepower that can tear through the frontal defense, or like the foreign devils, bombard with artillery or planes to directly destroy the interior."

Captain Lei stared at Xia Yuan, looked at his face with rich expressions, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Have!"

Xia Yuan nodded his head heavily, took a deep breath, and felt that the gazes focused on him made him feel like being pricked by needles. In this era, none of the people who can be company commanders or battalion commanders are The good ones are all veterans who have gone through various battles, won military exploits, crawled out of the dead, and killed an unknown number of people.

"If you have any, tell me quickly, let everyone hear what you think."

Battalion Commander Li couldn't wait to know what he could think of in the face of such a tight, impregnable defense of the enemy.

"Enemy artillery!"

Xia Yuan revealed a flaw that the enemy had leaked. He pointed to the ravine on the ground and said, "Comrade Xiao Qin said that from the outside, the peaks on both sides of the ravine are steep and have many cliffs, but the enemy can send troops to climb up." Going up to the top of the mountain, and even using sandbags to build fortifications on the mountain, it shows that the mountain is not a cliff in the ravine."

"Mountains are mostly narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Looking at the ravine from the outside, it may look very large, but the situation in the ravine is very complicated. Big trees, rocks, and uneven ground will all become obstacles for the artillery to station. 105 howitzers, judging from the degree of shelling during the day, the artillery fire is intensive, and it is very difficult for such an artillery group to deploy in such a ravine."

He pointed at the ravine and said: "Secondly, the mountains on both sides of the ravine run from east to west, and we are in the direction north of the foreign devils. Their muzzles are facing the direction of the mountain. It needs to be calculated and accurately landed on our position, which is even more difficult."

What Xia Yuan said seemed to wake up the commanders and fighters of the first battalion present. Instructor Shao grasped the key point at once and said, "Do you suspect that the enemy's artillery position is not in this ravine?"

Xia Yuan nodded: "Well, this ravine is very suitable as a fortress stationed, especially against us who do not have heavy firepower. This position is a must. Let alone a battalion, it is a division. Don't even think about taking it easily. This position, but again, the fatal disadvantage of this position is that it is not conducive to the deployment of the artillery group, so I suspect that the enemy's artillery group may not be in this position."

Battalion Commander Li said: "According to the smoothbore time when the enemy's howitzers fired at our army's position during the day, the enemy's artillery is more than ten kilometers away from our army's position, and this position is also more than ten kilometers away from our army's position. Quite right."

The others nodded, roughly inferring the position of the enemy's artillery positions based on the smoothbore time of the enemy's shells in the air. This is the basic quality that a veteran who has experienced several years of combat should possess, and it is also a necessary skill for every commander.

After all, from the War of Resistance Against Japan to the War of Resisting Defense, and to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, our army has always used its disadvantages to fight for advantages, and its backwardness to fight for advances. There are no guns, cannons, planes, or tanks. Even a bullet has become a luxury. Captured, at this time, the most important thing is to improve personal combat skills. Using a rifle with one hand, without a stand, holding a mortar, climbing a cliff, hand-to-hand combat, stabbing, etc., all skills are almost full.

Although there is some deviation in judging the position of the enemy artillery, it is not bad. Sometimes it will be a few kilometers wrong by more than ten kilometers. After all, the initial speed of the shell is still very fast, and the speed of the shell will drop sharply during the sliding process.

More than ten kilometers, specifically ten kilometers, or fifteen kilometers, it's really hard to say.

Therefore, Xia Yuan believed in his own judgment even more, "Commander, let's not talk about this matter for now, I want to take someone to investigate."

Judgment is always judgment. Whether the judgment is correct or not, you still need to see it yourself.

Battalion Commander Li thought for a while and said, "Looking at the time, it's basically too late. You should go investigate and come back before dawn. The enemy may launch an attack on the 336.8 highland in the early morning."

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan got up and saluted.

Battalion Commander Li stopped him: "In this way, Comrade Xiao Qin is more familiar with the route, the two of you will act together."

Xia Yuan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Battle Commander, I want one more right."

"Say, what kind of rights do you want? If it's not too much, I can consider it." Li Battalion Commander said.

"I want the right to act without authorization. We don't have any tasks at the moment. If I find an opportunity to act during the investigation, please allow me to act without authorization."

Xia Yuan said firmly.

Before Battalion Commander Li could speak, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao spoke first, directly interrupting Xia Yuan's thoughts.

"No, it's too risky to act without authorization, and it is very likely to die, absolutely not!"

Just the two of them still want to act without permission, isn’t this a joke? Once surrounded by the enemy, the consequences can be imagined. Both Xia Yuan and Xiao Qin are very good soldiers, especially Xia Yuan, who is very capable of leading a team to fight , They are good at attacking fortifications, and they are also good at interspersing. If such soldiers die because of investigating, they will definitely feel distressed to death.

A good knife must be used in the right place.

Battalion Commander Li was also thinking, but looking at Xia Yuan's firm eyes, his heart was a little shaken, he didn't agree directly, "Arbitrarily acting is a taboo in the army, even if I agree, Lao Lei and Lao Shao will not agree, It's too risky, but you did a great job last time."

Xia Yuan understands that Battalion Commander Li wants to agree. After all, his combat ability is obvious to all commanders and fighters of the first battalion. However, due to Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao, if Battalion Commander Li agrees, he will be sacrificed for acting without authorization. , Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao will feel very uncomfortable.

In his memory, the original body had been involved in the Eighth Route Army for six or seven years, and he had a very good relationship with Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao. When he first joined, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao were just squad leaders. Instructor Chang and Shao, the two also became company commander and instructor step by step with the battle, and Xia Yuan became a platoon leader.

The original body was very good at fighting, and made many mistakes. After making up for his achievements, he has always been the platoon leader, neither promoted nor demoted.

"Report to the battalion commander. I ask for approval. I will put my life first, observe first, and then decide to act after ensuring safety. I will not act blindly or do things that are not sure."

Xia Yuan raised his voice, not only speaking to Li Battalion Commander Li, but also to Company Commander Lei, "I have full confidence in the battle on the 336.8 Heights. I took five soldiers to climb up from the back mountain and touched the enemy artillery. positions, took out the enemy's artillery and headquarters, and blew up the enemy's bunkers, eliminating a large number of American troops."

He said: "The most taboo thing for the army is to act without authorization. I also know that I will be punished and criticized if I act without authorization, but I am fully sure that I will touch the enemy's position, so I acted. I will not do things that I am not sure about." , life is only once, there is no starting over, I still want to go home and marry a wife, to continue the fireworks for the Xia family."

After talking about it, everyone laughed, with a bit of bitterness in their smiles.

Many young soldiers were only eighteen or nineteen years old, and they died before reaching the front line. Many people died, and the remains may not even be able to return to their hometowns.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao were silent, so they didn't care about this matter anymore. Xia Yuan finally got the approval, but Commander Li restricted him to act without authorization once. Withdrew back, and told Comrade Xiao Qin to look at Xia Yuan.

After explaining, the two disappeared in the hasty twilight.

Battalion Commander Li sighed, and said, "The foreign devils are heavily guarded. I guess they can't find anything useful. We must hurry up and deal with the war that is coming tomorrow."

He said: "The 336.8 highland is very big, and our battalion alone is absolutely unable to hold it. I have already asked my superiors for reinforcements, and it is estimated that there will be a reply soon."

After a while, a communications soldier quickly ran to the battalion headquarters and delivered a letter to Battalion Commander Li. After reading it, Battalion Commander Li had a happy and dignified expression on his face. Battalion Commander Li.

"There are good news and bad news. The good news is that the regiment commander has sent three battalions to reinforce us. They are already on the way out, marching quickly, and should be able to arrive before dawn. The bad news is that our division's supplies are seriously depleted. It is very difficult to keep up with the supply of ammunition and ammunition, and these difficulties have to be overcome by ourselves.”

Battalion Commander Li said: "The regiment headquarters is also on the way, 336.8 highland, don't lose it!"

It is said that the 336.8 high ground cannot be lost. I don’t know how many people will sacrifice for it.

Teacher refers to.

Master Zheng is talking on the phone with Commander Wang of the [-]th Regiment, "How is the situation over there? After launching the attack tomorrow morning, you must move quickly, and you must first occupy Mochizuki."

Commander Wang said: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely move faster, but the problem now is that the food has almost been consumed, and the soldiers all rely on fried noodles mixed with leaves and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. Can you call us again?" Some food? When our regiment crosses the Zhaoyang River and goes to Wangyueli to attack, we still need some artillery support."

After hearing this, Mr. Zheng fell silent immediately.

Conversation, paused for a few seconds.

Suddenly, Commander Wang said: "Forget it, I know, our artillery can't cross the river."

Master Zheng immediately said: "Wang Cheng, don't complain. Without artillery support, you must overcome difficulties. I will find a way to solve the food problem."

Head Wang said: "Okay, then I thank the teacher in advance."

Master Zheng put down the phone, looking even more anxious, his brows were almost twisted into a ball of hemp rope, tomorrow's battle will definitely be more intense than today, right now the food and ammunition are huge and need to be replenished, it's already midnight, think about it carefully, After the battle starts tomorrow, check the situation of each unit, and then immediately ask the army commander for supplies.

In fact, the current position of the [-]th Division is too prominent, and it is far away from the rear. The atmosphere in the division command post is a bit dignified. Sometimes, the situation will be even worse, no one dares to think.

Now the last few hours of silence are rare.

At the entrance of the command post are branches, which were brought back by the security squad just now. The daytime camouflage was damaged a bit. The security squad used the newly brought small branches and some thick branches to rearrange the command post. After a while, the camouflage was done.
