The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 112 The Second Platoon's Night Attack Mission

In the narrow and dark tunnel, the soldiers crouched on the ground in the tunnel with their 50 Chong in their arms. Listening to what Squad Leader Hu said, their inner fighting will became stronger!

Squad Leader Hu looked at them and said: "Tonight, at ten o'clock, we will launch a small-scale raid on the unnamed highland on the south side. The first battle was the first time that our platoon served as the main force to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. We must not only fight well, beautifully, and tenaciously, but also show our momentum! Let everyone see, Our second row also has a tenacious will to fight!"

"We must learn from the 'heroic spirit', carry forward the 'heroic spirit', and follow the example of a hero! If you don't write a list of heroes, you will paint a stele of martyrs! Don't be a wimp, and strive to be a hero!"

The soldiers shouted with high morale: "Strive to be a hero!"

In the narrow and dark tunnel, a kerosene lamp emitted a faint light, reflecting the soldiers' faces brightly. Squad Leader Hu looked at the soldiers' eager and fighting faces, and continued: "Comrades, behind us is the Our country, the direction of our home, fighting foreign devils is to defend our hometown, our homeland, behind us, tens of thousands of compatriots are watching us, they will not forget us, because we are great heroes! glory!"

"Digging a tunnel, is it difficult? Difficult, but we still overcome it! Remember the hero's oath!"

Squad leader Hu said, "I don't believe there is."

The soldiers followed suit and shouted: "I don't believe that there are missions that cannot be completed! I don't believe that there are difficulties that cannot be overcome! I don't believe that there are enemies that cannot be defeated!"

Squad leader Hu said: "In the face of difficult difficulties, we must overcome them! We must also complete the tasks that cannot be completed! No matter how powerful the enemy is, we must defeat them!"

"Digging the tunnel will continue. This is the task of our second platoon. The deputy squad leader organized everyone well. The tunnel was dug well, and the credit is indispensable. The tunnel was dug wonderfully. The foreign devils who beat us screamed. We want to turn Shangganling into a copper mine." Wall, let the enemy's artillery fall on our heads without hurting us."

"Comrade Xia Yuan stays, and the others return to their respective positions."

"Yes!"

The mobilization of each platoon and each squad was very smooth. The four soldiers who joined the company were also called by the squad leader for simple ideological counseling. The soldiers were afraid of fighting, and they were afraid of fighting. Don't scold, use the feelings between soldiers as a bond to stimulate the fighting will in the soldiers' hearts.

Squad leader Hu looked at Xia Yuan's young face and said, "How old are you this year?"

Xia Yuan replied seriously: "24."

Squad leader Hu was happy: "Hey, you are so old, have you found a wife?"

Xia Yuan shook his head: "No."

Squad leader Hu said: "It's so old, it's time to find a wife. After the war is over, the squad leader will introduce one to you."

"Hey."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"Can you smoke?" Squad Leader Hu took out shredded tobacco from his pocket, rolled it up with a piece of paper and asked.

Xia Yuan shook and nodded: "A little bit."

Squad leader Hu is an old smoker, he smoked a cigarette, took out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, opened the case, there was only one cigarette left in it, and handed it to Xia Yuan: "Try it!" , This is the cigarette from the foreign devils, Lao Li asked me for it for a long time, but I didn't give it to him."

Lao Li is the deputy squad leader, responsible for the internal affairs of a group of soldiers.

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, put his hands on his knees, took the cigarette that Squad Leader Hu handed over, took a breath of his cigarette, couldn't help coughing, took another puff in disbelief, and felt better a little.

Seeing Xia Yuan's awkward smoking posture, Squad Leader Hu smiled, smoked a cigarette, and the smile on his face restrained a bit, and he said: "Tonight we will be the main force in the platoon, and our first squad is the assault squad, so it must be the assault squad." At the front, you follow Lao Li, and when you charge, listen to the bullets above your head, the sound of the bullets swishing, if the sound is low, charge, if the sound is loud, hide.”

Xia Yuan listened, nodded, and did not refute. As a recruit, he can say that he fought the Xinxingli Annihilation War and bombed the Shuimen Bridge?
The world is not a world.

"Let me see the gun." Squad Leader Hu said again.

Xia Yuan took off his gun and handed it to Squad Leader Hu.

"Type 50 submachine gun, if it gets jammed, just turn it over and pat it."

Squad leader Hu turned the magazine upwards, with a cigarette in his mouth, patted the gun body with his hand, and said to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan nodded: "Squad leader, I know."

Squad leader Hu asked again: "How many clips are there on my body?"

Xia Yuan replied, "Three clips."

Squad leader Hu nodded: "Three magazines are enough, just clean the gun when you are free."

Xia Yuan nodded, thought for a while and asked: "Squad leader, if I seize the foreign devil's gun, can I apply for a replacement gun?"

Squad Leader Hu smoked a cigarette and asked, "Do you want to change your gun?"

Xia Yuan nodded, and squad leader Hu said, "You can apply to your superiors."

Xia Yuan thought about it. After the battle of Shangganling really started, it didn't matter whether he applied or not. In the middle and late stages of the battle of Shangganling, the guns were broken, and the stamina could not be replenished. to touch.

The mobilization is basically over, and today's water digging work will continue. Xia Yuan dug two pits at the end of the two tunnels. The rock layer in one of the pits has been hewn by him, and the rock layer in the other pit has not been moved. , Digging through the rock layer of a pit has consumed a lot of time and energy, and he has no time to dig other tunnels.

The soldiers of the Ninth Company are also digging tunnels day and night. On the basis of the original two tunnels, they penetrate the two tunnels to form a 'U'-shaped tunnel, and extend to the No. 1 position, digging out a 'Y'-shaped tunnel. tunnel.

There was only one tunnel entrance in the original, and there were two internal tunnels. With the efforts of the soldiers, two tunnel entrances were dug in the tunnel on the reverse slope. One of the tunnel entrances was covered with branches and sand, and the other tunnel entrance was wide open. with.

It extends in the direction of the No. [-] position, and is connected with a bomb shelter on the No. [-] position.

Xia Yuan admired the hands-on ability of the soldiers very much. Some soldiers' hands were worn out, so they simply dealt with them and continued to invest in the excavation work. During the day, one row and two rows were dug, and at night, three rows and four rows were dug, day and night. It is already the largest tunnel among all the tunnels.

Under Xia Yuan's suggestion, the entrance of the cave has also been modified. There is a bunker inside the entrance of the tunnel. If the enemy wants to enter the tunnel, the soldiers can hide in the bunker in the tunnel and shoot at the enemy.

The difficulty of excavating the tunnel is very great, but with the efforts of the soldiers, it can still be overcome, just like the three disbeliefs of the heroes.

I don't believe that there are difficulties that cannot be overcome.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had become darker, and the soldiers in the second row had already started preparing weapons and ammunition in the tunnel. Squad leader Hu came to Xia Yuan and handed him a straw hat that he had made: "Put this on your head , when we set off in a while, you will follow Lao Li."

As he spoke, he called out, "Lao Li, Lao Li."

The deputy squad leader ran over, "Old Hu, what's the matter?"

Old Hu pulled Xia Yuan and said: "The new comrade in our class, the battle has started, you take him with you and teach him how to survive on the battlefield."

The deputy squad leader sighed, and said, "That's simple, Comrade Xia Yuan, when we set off later, just follow me."

At four o'clock, the sky gradually dimmed.

Called by Platoon Leader Sun, the soldiers were ready to go after checking their weapons and ammunition.

The unnamed highland is located in the southeast of Shangganling. After reconnaissance by the scouts, it was determined that there was only one company garrisoned by the South Korean Army on this unnamed highland. The unnamed highland is not high, only more than 200 meters. Once the enemy's machine gun bunker is destroyed, it can be completely wiped out on the unnamed high ground.

Taking advantage of the gloomy sky, the second platoon set off. The first platoon and the volunteer soldiers on the 537.7 Heights were responsible for the cover. on the front line.

When the team was marching, they seldom chatted, and Lao Li didn't speak. He just looked back at Xia Yuan from time to time, and after confirming that he was following him, he turned his head and continued on the road. .

After more than half an hour's journey, the volunteer soldiers bent down and approached the reverse slope near the unnamed highland. Under the dark sky, the shaking figures of the enemy on the highland could be seen from a distance. They hadn't fully realized the arrival of the volunteer army.

Platoon Leader Sun used binoculars to observe the enemy's deployment on the high ground, and confirmed that the enemy was in two machine gun bunkers facing north. He said in a low voice: "The attack starts at ten o'clock in the evening. First, we must pull out the enemy's firepower."

He observed the enemy's barbed wire and landmines at the foot of the mountain. The attack plan had already been designated. Every night, the demining fighters would touch here to remove the landmines on the ground. Last night, the mines near the unnamed highland were basically removed.

Platoon Leader Sun was observing, and Xia Yuan was also observing with his night vision and eagle eyes on. He had a panoramic view of the enemy's every move on the high ground. He could clearly see the grass, trees and even a stone on the ground. There are traces of human activities observed on the ground.

"The landmines in this area have been cleared. It seems that the plan to attack the unnamed highland has already been made."

Xia Yuan grabbed the submachine gun in his hand.

The accuracy of the Type 50 submachine gun is not very high, and it cannot be used as a sniper. He has a gun master level, and such a submachine gun is handy to use. In comparison, Xia Yuan still likes the big eight grains. Snipe and kill the enemy's walkie-talkie pilots, commanders, and enemy snipers and recoilless guns, which can effectively attack the enemy.

When the Battle of Shangganling broke out, the U.S. military will definitely send snipers to Shangganling.

After Squad Leader Hu received the combat mission, he hurried back and called the soldiers over for a meeting. He said: "This time our mission is the enemy's two machine gun bunkers. The enemy's machine gun bunker, clearing the way for subsequent troops to attack."

He looked at Xia Yuan with some anxiety, and said, "Blowing up the enemy's machine gun bunker will not be easy, you should go last."

Xia Yuan stared into Squad Leader Hu's eyes and said firmly, "Squad Leader, I want to be the first one."

Before Squad Leader Hu could say a word, Lao Li said: "No, you are a new comrade with no combat experience, and you are not familiar with dodging bullets. If you go up, you will die. Just leave the machine gun bunker to us."

He said again: "Old Hu, let's arrange it like this. Let the first team be responsible for blowing up the bunker, and the other teams will be responsible for covering."

Squad leader Hu said to Xia Yuan: "Obey the order!"

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing. He remembered that during the battle of Changjin Lake, no matter when, the recruits were always the group of people who were taken care of by the veterans.He secretly decided in his heart that this battle on the unnamed highlands must change everyone's view of him.

The soldiers took each squad as a unit. When the time quietly approached ten o'clock, squad leader Hu whispered: "Let's go!"

Xia Yuan was about to go up immediately, but was dragged by Lao Li, who just looked at him: "Follow me!"

Xia Yuan nodded, and after Lao Li rushed out of the bunker, he stepped on Lao Li's steps and followed him closely.

Squad leader Hu led two combat teams through the enemy's minefield, and quickly came to the barbed wire fence. One team raised their guns to cover, while the other team quickly cut the barbed wire fence, and used two forked logs to prop up the cut barbed wire fence. The men of the combat team crawled through the barbed wire one by one.

After Lao Li covered Xia Yuan and got in, he followed behind. Platoon Leader Sun used a telescope to observe the enemy's high ground from time to time. Only some of the dim lights were on on the high ground, and no enemies were found. It is very likely that they have gone to sleep at this time.

But near the enemy's machine gun bunker, you can still see the enemy's security posts. He scolded: "When I came to observe the night before yesterday, there were not so many enemy security posts. Why did the enemy's security posts increase tonight? !?"

The deputy platoon leader was also observing with the binoculars. He put down the binoculars and looked up at the moon in the sky: "The enemy has basically figured out the rules of our army's actions and knows that we like to fight on the night of the full moon."

On the night of the full moon, the moonlight is bright and the visibility is relatively high. It is the best time for our army to carry out night operations.

Platoon Leader Sun said: "Fortunately, Squad [-]'s assault went smoothly."

Squad [-]'s assault went very smoothly, passing through the barbed wire fence without hindrance

After passing through the barbed wire, they came to the foot of the mountain. On the hillside, they could see the enemy's machine gun bunker. It was built on the mountain and was very concealed. It was very difficult to blast. It is difficult to completely destroy it with ordinary explosives. You need to use a blasting tube , stuffed into the mouth of the bunker and completely destroyed it.

This is also the reason why many soldiers blow up bunkers with blasting tubes.

There have been cases where bunkers were blown up with explosives, but they were not blown up.

Squad Leader Hu gestured to the first group to get ready. The three demolition fighters of the first group held blasting barrels and squatted on the ground with firm eyes, staring at the enemy's machine gun bunker.

The enemy's machine gun bunker and surrounding areas have guard posts. Relying on powerful night vision and eagle's vision, Xia Yuan has already seen the enemy's defense situation clearly on the way here. There are as many as six.
