The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 463 Sacrifice is Glorious
"Old Xia, what are you looking at? Are you so engrossed?"

Chen Lei tightened the big eight pills behind his back, put the water bottle on his waist, and asked curiously.

He also followed Xia Yuan's gaze and looked into the distance, the mountains were connected to the mountains, it was dark, and he couldn't see anything.

A few people also have some doubts.

Xia Yuan took out a map from his arms with a smile, pointed to a line on the map, and said, "This is our location."

Instructor Shao was a little confused. He glanced at the English words marked on the map, but didn't understand: "You took it from the foreign devil?"

"I'm sure, I can't go in vain if I go there, I just took their map."

With a smile on his face, Xia Yuan stared at the map in his hand and said, "It's better to use the foreign devil's map. They took pictures in the sky with a camera in a plane, and it's hundreds of times more accurate than our hand-drawn map. "

Everyone stared at the map in his hand. Except for the incomprehensible text, the mountains, rivers and rivers on it were real. Unlike their hand-painted maps, the mountains and roads were drawn with lines.

"This map is really good. Why don't you say that the foreign devils are advanced, grandma's bear, if we have someone so advanced, we will beat them to the door early."

The big man couldn't help cursing.

"It's a fool to be advanced. Otherwise, we'll beat you like a mouse and run away. You can't just look at the weapons and equipment in this war, you have to look at the people. The weapons and equipment of the foreign devils are good. If they meet us, they can't do it."

It is rare for Lao Yang to say more, "This is still being played around by Lao Xia, I guess I haven't figured out what happened right now."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone followed and laughed.

As Lao Yang said, the commander of the U.S. Army was furious at the regiment headquarters. The artillery covered it for 10 minutes. I cried and complained that I was attacked by artillery fire in my sleep. At first I thought it was the Chinese who were coming. After panicking for a long time, I escaped from the high ground, only to find out that it was from their garrison.

This was also confirmed by the battalion commander of the major. The two companies rushed to the position without any hindrance. There was not a single Chinese in sight. The position seemed to have been plowed by a low plow. Except for the broken corpses of their own people who were blown up, no Chinese corpses were found. Asking the wounded who received it, what the wounded said almost didn't kill him.

The position has always been in their hands, and no Chinese came at all. They were still asleep, and they were suddenly hit by fierce artillery fire. The bunker itself is enough to deal with the small-caliber mortars of the Chinese. They are not Chinese at all, but their own people, or 155mm howitzers, the kind that go down a big pit with one shot, and their own long-range artillery, it is not a problem to drop three or four shells in a second, where is the fragile position? Withstood this level of heavy bombing.

The bunker fortifications were bulldozed, the machine gun fire bunker was blown up, and the place where they slept also collapsed. Many people were still in their sleeping bags and buried in the pit in a daze.

Those who came out alive seem to have seen the end of the world. The mountains and rivers are roaring, the earth is churning, the smoke is filling the air, covering the sky and the sun, the vegetation is falling, and the turbulent air waves are rolling the gravel. The flesh and blood of the human body is so unbearable in front of these. With one blow, there was no living creature within ten meters of the impact point.

After listening to the major battalion commander's words, the commander pointed at the second lieutenant's nose who called for long-range artillery support and cursed. One connected nearly 300 people, and under the 10-minute artillery fire coverage, there were only so few people left.

The second lieutenant was also very aggrieved, and told the commander in detail what happened, "Your Excellency, I am guilty, but the soldier who lied about the military situation is the criminal. He lied about the military situation and misled me into thinking that the Chinese had entered, but I Confirmed, I had the radio soldiers call, but no one answered. And they also fired mortar shells at my position, and shot, and wounded one of my soldiers."

His words were also confirmed. The soldiers on the high ground said that there were indeed mortar shells falling on the position, accompanied by bursts of gunshots, but these bullets were fired from the darkness, and the soldiers The reaction was very quick, and did not cause many casualties, and only one soldier was slightly injured.

The fact that a soldier was slightly injured did not make him careless. On the contrary, he was more cautious. Even mortars were used, and there must be many volunteers who attacked.

Coupled with the visibility at night, the unreachable radio communication, and the panicked soldiers who came to report the intelligence, all these things gathered together, didn't they just create an illusion that the enemy was attacking.

There was a strange silence in the headquarters for a while, and they suddenly discovered that no one had a problem with this matter, whether it was the defenders on the high ground or the second lieutenant who called for long-range artillery support.

It was the soldier in question!
The commander immediately realized what was happening, and immediately said: "Find that soldier!"

As long as the soldier is found, all problems are solved.

The second lieutenant hesitated: "Commander, we have already looked for it. The soldier seems to have disappeared out of thin air."

"what!?"

Of course, the culprit disappeared, and he also abducted eleven trucks and their supplies. He was happily heading to the Jiuluan Mountain position. With the loss of the defense line in Tongguli, the center of gravity of the [-]th Regiment began to tilt towards the Jiuluan Mountain position. At present, the Jiuluan Mountain position is jointly defended by the [-]th Regiment and the [-]th Regiment, and it is bound to resist the enemy's fierce attack in order to gain time for the rear troops.

The small hills that Xia Yuan and the others saw from a distance were all stationed with troops, but the size of the troops was at the company level, and if there were heavy casualties, they would continue to replenish, which seemed like a refueling tactic.

There is no way, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, the more people go up, the greater the casualties, and the number of defenders on the position can only be controlled to a company of [-] people.

A company dispatched a large number of scouts. Passing through a dangerous area, there were three scouts ambushing on the top of the hill. One of the older scouts was staring at the American truck convoy that suddenly appeared down the mountain. It was a bit unexpected. explain:

"Grandma, are these foreign devils so rampant now? They want to swagger into our position with the headlights on. Old Yu, you go tell the company commander, let's beat them hard. Seeing that the truck is loaded with There are probably not many people in the box, so hurry up, or the fat meat in your mouth will run away."

"Okay, then you stay here and watch, don't let the fat go away."

"Don't worry, we are watching, it can't escape."

!
While they were talking, a series of familiar whistles sounded, and the three of them were startled. Looking for the source of the sound, their eyes fell on the convoy below.

"Are you kidding me!" Lao Yu said in astonishment.

The sound of the whistle was obviously their own contact information.

The older scout quickly took out his whistle from his pocket and contacted him.

!

The truck convoy stopped, and more than a dozen "American devils" got out of the vehicle. The three of them were a little puzzled as to what the situation was, whether they were locals or foreign devils.

The older scout said: "It must be our own people, otherwise they wouldn't drive into our position so brazenly, let alone blow their whistle, or even get off the car to expose themselves, Old Yu, you stare from above, I'll go down with Xiao Zhou to have a look."

At the foot of the mountain, Wang Xiaoliang looked left and right curiously, "Company commander, why didn't anyone come down?"

Xia Yuan raised his head and said, "It's not coming down."

Only then did Wang Xiaoliang realize that after he had finished speaking, two soldiers with guns on their backs came down from the mountain, moving vigorously. When they crossed a deep ditch, they jumped up as if they were flying, and landed firmly on the ground. This made his mouth open.

"Liao Qingxu, squad leader of the second squad of the third company reconnaissance platoon of the first battalion of the [-]th regiment! Zhou Jie, the scout of the second squad! Comrade, that part."

The older soldier in front of him was a bit rough and carefree.

"Commander of the [-]st Battalion and [-]st Company of the [-]th Regiment, Xia Yuan, Instructor Shao Wenxuan, First Platoon Leader Yang Ziqing, Second Platoon Leader Ma Shunyao, Third Platoon Leader Chen Lie"

Xia Yuan introduced them one by one, there were only a few people left in Yilian, and he could basically remember the names of these people. In fact, he had always remembered the names of those sacrificed soldiers, but they were already very far away from him.

Looking at the dozen or so disgraced soldiers in front of him, Liao Qingxu was in awe and silently saluted them. These were all soldiers who had come down from the battlefield.

suffered.

"salute!"

Instructor Shao said loudly.

More than a dozen soldiers responded in unison.

This is a silent communication between them. Although they don't know each other, the blood flowing in their bodies is the same, and the goal is the same.

"Hey, you guys are sneak attacking the convoy of the foreign devils. I just said there was a piece of fat, and it really is a piece of fat."

Liao Qingxu looked at the evacuated supplies, full of excitement, and did not forget to joke.

"Hahahaha!"

The big guy smiled.

Liao Qingxu jumped out of the car and said, "Commander Xia, if you need help, just ask, if we can, we will definitely help."

Xia Yuan is also not polite: "I really need your help, that's it, we changed our clothes, and now it feels awkward to wear foreign devil's clothes."

"That's simple. We still have a few sets of clothes in our company. I'll go back and talk to the company commander."

"Okay, then I will trouble Platoon Leader Liao."

"Where, one family doesn't speak two different languages, not to mention that you have seized so much food, medicine and ammunition. We are short of food and ammunition, but the firepower of the foreign devils is so ferocious that many soldiers are affected. Injured, with these medicines, those brothers transferred to the rear can receive treatment."

Liao Qingxu admired Xia Yuan very much, especially the things about the company commander in front of him that were published in the newspapers, which strongly encouraged the confidence of the soldiers to fight the foreign devils to the end.

In the position of the [-]st Battalion and [-]rd Company of the [-]th Regiment, the arrival of the convoy alarmed many soldiers. They looked at the dozens of trucks parked under the formation from afar. The trucks were full of supplies. Zhou Jie was following a group of soldiers. Have a small meeting.

"That truck was captured by Company Commander Xia. He won a big victory tonight. Do you know the sound of the artillery from the foreign devils' camp an hour ago?"

A group of soldiers were like people eating melons, their eyes widened with curiosity.

"Xiao Zhou, you have learned badly now, and you are starting to play tricks."

"That's right, can't you shake it out all at once?"

"More than a dozen trucks came out from the foreign devils' camp. It is estimated that only Company Commander Xia can do this kind of thing. Tell me quickly, how did you bring them out?"

It was lively outside, and the command of the company was equally lively. The third company commander, deputy company commander, instructor and other commanders and comrades in the party branch were all very curious about how a dozen trucks drove out of the foreign devils' position.

"It's a long story, so I won't go into details with you one by one. It's almost dawn, and I'm going to take advantage of the darkness to send the supplies to the division headquarters. You just need to pay attention to the newspapers."

Xia Yuan fastened the last button and put the gun behind his back. Sure enough, it was still comfortable to change into his own clothes.

The third company commander smiled and said: "You have done a big thing without saying a word. The foreign devils probably don't know why they lost more than a dozen of their cars at the moment. Okay, we will wait for the newspapers at that time." , I hope we don’t make us wait in a hurry.”

The instructor of the third company also joked with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that day."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone smiled, and the smiles were full of bitterness. The pressure of war sacrifices was basically carried by the soldiers, and the pain in their hearts was probably only understood by themselves.

As for sacrifice, no one is afraid of sacrifice, those who sacrifice are heroes, the people of the motherland and him will remember us.

For volunteer soldiers, sacrifice is honorable.

Watching the convoy leave, the third company commander looked away, pinched the cigarette in his hand, and said: "The first company commander is indeed a character. I saw it in the newspaper earlier. He is also a platoon leader. The story he tells is quite good and educated. He has a level, has read books, and thought he was different from us, but he did not expect to be better than us.”

The instructor of the third company nodded and said: "Earlier when we were suppressing bandits in the country, I heard that a battalion sharp knife company and a platoon leader can fight, but they made a lot of mistakes. If there are no such mistakes, the company commander has long been, maybe it's because they came to North Korea. .”

The deputy company commander said: "The first company suffered heavy casualties. I heard from my friends that the first company, as a sharp knife company, has been responsible for the task of attacking the enemy's high ground. It has suffered heavy casualties. From the current situation, there are only so few people left in the first company."

Several people's hearts sank, there were still more than a dozen people left in a company, and Xia Yuan became the company commander again. The big guys basically knew what happened in the company. This is how wars are. A company is a sharp knife company, no matter what Things are on the front line.

Use your own heavy casualties in exchange for the small casualties of the large army.

This is also an unavoidable way. At any time, there are always companies that have to choose to pay.

Including those soldiers who remained in charge of the rear after the end of the second phase of the fifth campaign, everyone knew in their hearts that the rear was basically a dead end.
