The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 439 Insufficient Troops

"Mission successfully completed!"

Xia Yuan gritted his teeth, threw the steel helmet aside, took the hat that Lao Yang handed over and put it on his head, and said with a smile: "My hat is more comfortable to wear, and the clothes, foreign devils' clothes are really awkward. "

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

Instructor Shao stared at the truck behind them with eager eyes: "The trucks are all stolen from foreign devils? What are they all about?"

Xia Yuan took off the foreign devil's clothes, changed into his own, dragged the company commander and instructor to the truck, boarded the truck, pried open the box with a bayonet, took out cans and threw them to the company commander and instructor.

"Company commander, you must all be hungry. Eat something first. There are a lot of things to pull, and there are a lot of canned food. Eat some first. In addition to canned food, there are also a lot of ammunition and medicine. With medicine, our comrades have something to treat It's gone, no need to hold on anymore."

Everyone looked at the cans in their hands, with happy smiles on their faces, and looked at the company commander eagerly.

Without the company commander's order, they really dare not eat.

Lieutenant Commander Lei smiled: "You, I really left this question to you, okay, let's eat first, eat a can, and the remaining supplies will be brought back to the regiment headquarters later."

Instructor Shao was also happy, and said: "I didn't expect you to seize so many supplies. How did you do it? You will have to explain it to us later."

"No problem, let Lao Chen talk about it later." Xia Yuan sat in the car with a smile on his face.

With the approval of the company commander, the soldiers were not too dirty, so they sat down on the ground, opened the can and smelled it, and their appetites were whetted.

"It's delicious. What is this food? There's also meat."

"I often, I'm so sweet that I'm dying."

"Hey, is this a pear? It tastes so good."

"It's the first time I've eaten it. I didn't expect the food eaten by foreign devils to be so good."

The soldiers chewed heavily, feeling a little envious.

Wang Xiaoliang held canned beef in his hand. The big chunks of beef were salty and salty, but his mouth was full of oil, and he cried sadly while eating.

Lao Yang turned around and shouted, "Little Wang, why are you crying?"

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao also cast curious glances, and Company Commander Lei asked, "Is it not tasty? I'll exchange it with you."

Wang Xiaoliang refused the beef in his mouth, wiped the tears on his face, and said: "Company commander, it is because it is so delicious, many comrades who sacrificed have never eaten it, so they will leave us first. If they are here, they will eat it." alright."

The soldiers were stunned, looking at the cans in their hands, their mouths were filled with sweet and delicious food, their hearts suddenly sank.

Instructor Shao opened the can and said, "Yeah, it would be great if they were here, they can also eat such delicious canned food, these are not all caused by the enemy, we have to eat, not only to be full, but also to eat Alright, only then will you have the strength to fight the enemy desperately!"

He said: "They will not sacrifice in vain. The motherland and the people will remember them, and we will remember them. They sacrificed to protect our motherland. The sacrifice is glorious and great!"

Instructor Shao suddenly raised his voice again: "Stand up and straighten your backs!"

A company of soldiers stood up from the ground with a bang, standing straight and straight.

"Think about those soldiers who sacrificed, and think about now, everyone can understand that a happy life is hard-won, and what we are doing now is for the people of the country behind us to be able to eat such delicious food food, so our journey is not over yet."

Instructor Shao held the cans in his hand and continued: "So, we have to eat well. These cans are the first row, the second row and the third row leader. Comrade Liu Tiezhu risked his life to win, not only It is to feed everyone, and more importantly, to give everyone the strength to fight the little devil!"

The soldiers are all rough, have little culture, and can't read a few big characters. The words that Instructor Shao said are easy to understand, and the soldiers can understand them, and they are more determined to fight the Yankees.

The soldiers finished eating the food in the can in two or three bites, and their stomachs were still a little hungry, but it was much better than before.

"Don't unload these supplies."

Seeing Xia Yuan calling for everyone to unload supplies, Company Commander Lei hurriedly stopped them.

Xia Yuan looked puzzled: "Company commander, aren't these supplies brought back?"

"The superior has ordered the troops to retreat. We will retreat to Jiuluan Mountain to form the first line of defense to prevent the enemy from committing crimes in the north."

Captain Lei said with a hint of joy in his tone, "The supplies you seized this time are very important. I thought you would simply harass the enemy this time. Neither Lao Shao nor I thought that you would seize such a thing. I guess the battalion commander didn't think about the extra supplies, so they left first, you really gave me a huge surprise, I guess you will be promoted to company commander soon, Xia Yuan."

Xia Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and thought that the 1th Division would encounter more fierce attacks from the enemy and fall into the enemy's encirclement. Only 4000 of the more than [-] people escaped in the end. Being captured, I didn't feel much joy in my heart, but instead felt a little more heavy.

"Has the order to stop the northern criminals been issued?"

he asked knowingly.

"It has been issued, defend on the spot, and prevent the enemy from committing crimes in the north. This is an order issued by the military department."

Company Commander Lei said: "Your four carts of supplies are very important and can solve many problems currently faced by the [-]th Regiment."

Xia Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and he said: "These four carts of supplies can certainly solve the problems that the [-]th Regiment is currently facing, but in the entire [-]th Division, these four carts of supplies are not enough."

"do you have any plans?"

Captain Lei asked thoughtfully.

"Company commander, the enemy we are facing head-on is the First Marine Division, the strength of a whole division, and there is also the US Seventh Division, which is also a division of strength, which is several times higher than the [-]th Division , If we really want to fight, the defense line we have built is to attack the stone with the egg."

Xia Yuan jumped out of the car, glanced at the big horse, and said, "Company commander, you can ask the old horse about what we have seen and heard in the US military garrison, their supplies, their guns, and their tanks and armored vehicles. We really want to defend them." , The formed defense line can only last a very short time."

"Say the point!"

Company Commander Lei raised his head, he knew that Xia Yuan must have a new idea in his heart when he said that.

Xia Yuan said: "Company commander, we can learn tonight and change into the clothes of the US military. I will lead the team and rush into the foreign devils' garrison. It is difficult to win against the foreign devils head-on, whether it is weapons and equipment, logistics supplies, or It's military strength, we can't compare with them, there is no comparison, just like eggs and stones."

"Are you trying to fuck behind the enemy's ass?"

Lieutenant Commander Lei showed an unbelievable expression on his face, and said: "We have only 30 people in a company, at most one platoon of troops, playing with two divisions of the US military. It's not our order to intersperse the North Criminal. Xia Yuan, if you really want to do this, you are disobeying the military order."

They have seen Xia Yuan's growth since entering the DPRK to fight. Up to now, Xia Yuan can completely take charge of his own affairs. Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao are not dead heads, nor are they like the big villains in TV dramas. , Can't see that others are smart, on the contrary, they have even begun to think whether they are suitable to be a company commander.

After all, in contrast, Xia Yuan is obviously more suitable as the company commander leading the first company.

It's just that this guy is very impulsive sometimes, and he has to let himself and Lao Shao control it.

Instructor Shao also persuaded from the side: "You can't beat a single division, and you still want to rely on our 30-odd people to intersperse, Xia Yuan, I know what you are thinking, the enemy really wants to attack from the front, relying on cannons And planes can blow up our positions to pieces, but have you ever thought that if we really want to go to the US military base, we will never return, and even the US military base cannot enter. .”

He keeps empty cans in the car, which double as bowls.

Instructor Shao continued: "We have come so far, and there are only these 30 people left. How can we beat the enemy's division? This kind of harassment is like that mosquito, and the bite is not painful."

Xia Yuan sighed slightly. Instructor Shao spoke very realistically. How many enemies can be eliminated by more than 30 people? The stupidity of the U.S. military is to accept as soon as it is good, and then to drive out four trucks of supplies to blow up part of the enemy's ammunition.

The enemy's tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery were all well placed, and there was no way to blow them up with the abilities of the four of them.

Even if they pass the entire company, they may not be able to blow up the enemy's artillery positions.

At any rate, the Changjin Lake Battle had the main force restraining it from the front, which gave the Seventh Interlude Company a chance, but now, they can only rely on themselves.

After thinking about it, Xia Yuan can harass the enemy other than interspersed, any other strategy is to hit the stone with the pebble, and the harassment of the east and the west can be harassed. Their frontal enemy is the two divisions of the US military with tens of thousands of people. .

Sing empty city plan?
No, the U.S. military has planes. Do you have soldiers there? People’s reconnaissance planes fly over your head and circle around, and you can get a thorough understanding of your situation. Anyway, the empty city plan is also the era of cold weapons. In this era of hot weapons, it doesn’t matter if you have it. No one, the U.S. military was directly covered by artillery fire.

The most terrible thing is that the restrictions are too large. The order issued by the military department is to start defense on the spot. If you really want to do something else, that is to disobey the military order.

Is it possible to take everyone together to defy the military order and cross the Han River.

If the 63th Division retreats, the flanks of the 63rd Army at this stage will be exposed, and the 63rd Army will be restrained. Who will fight the next Cheorwon blockade? Zero division flanks are as exposed.

The most critical point is that the [-]th Division is retreating at this stage, and who will make up such a big hole left behind.

In order to encircle the 63th Division, the U.S. [-]th Division and the [-]st Marine Division missed the best time to attack north. The Pseudo-[-]th Division went all the way through the gap between the [-]rd Army and the [-]th Division, and had the opportunity to continue to attack northward. Just as it collided with the [-]th Division, the Pseudo Sixth Division cut off the [-]th Division's retreat.

That is to say, by mistake, the Pseudo Sixth Division missed the time to go north in order to surround the [-]th Division. The Third Corps successfully retreated to the rear to rest when the [-]th Division attracted most of the enemy's firepower.

From the perspective of God, the [-]th Division really played a key role.

Can't withdraw.

Really can't retreat, if you want to retreat, you have to wait until the transfer of the wounded is completed, and the three corps retreat before retreating.

This is a headache, and Xia Yuan can't think of any good strategy, it's just that the individual strength is too small to play a key role.

Unless you reach the position of army commander.

Xia Yuan scratched his head and said: "Company Commander, let's listen to you, retreat first, I guess the foreign devils will slow down tomorrow, maybe tomorrow's attack will be even more ferocious."

"It's good if you can figure it out. We have no other way now. There are more than 30 people. If we really want to intersect, we can't decide anything, let alone change anything. The foreign devils will still attack our position."

Captain Lei's gaze became firm again, and he said: "So what if there are more than 30 people, even if there is only one person left, as long as the position is not lost, it must be firmly nailed to the position like a nail."

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

A company of soldiers was full of fighting spirit, and there was really no one in their hearts.

The defense line in front of the [-]th Division is too large, and a company has to stick to the ten-kilometer defense line. This means that the defenders on a position can only be distributed one by one. The most critical issue is that in mobile warfare , All companies and platoons have sacrificed. Taking the company as an example, in the process of serving as the main offensive, after several battles, there are only more than [-] people left. How to stick to the ten-kilometer defense line is a crucial issue.

The first battalion commander also faced a huge choice, because the defense line assigned to him by his superiors was too large. If he really wanted to deploy defenses on these high grounds, with the strength of a company, a high ground could only be divided into one squadron.

"A squad, how long can a squad hold back, we are facing an enemy several times higher than our division, how can a squad hold back."

Battalion Commander Li was smoking a cigarette, and the smoke rose slowly. His eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot. He hadn't slept for several days, and his face looked even more haggard.

There was a shortage of food and ammunition, and there was a shortage of medicines. At critical times, the superiors asked them to use each of them as ten people, and a company had to stick to a ten-kilometer defense line. The company suffered heavy casualties. How to fill this huge hole.

The battalion chief of staff sighed slightly, "The commander really gave us a huge problem, what should we do?"

Battalion Commander Li cut off the cigarette butt and said: "I can't withdraw, I can only strictly implement the orders of the division headquarters, and launch defenses in the area around Jiuluan Mountain to prevent the enemy from committing crimes from the north. You are also clear about the current situation. We have to overcome difficulties." , give Lian some support."

After thinking over and over again, he said: "In this way, let the comrades directly under the team and the comrades of the guard squad go up. The battalion headquarters does not need so many people. At present, the orders of the division headquarters should be the most important."
