Chapter 127 Swear to Live and Die with the Battlefield! (three more)
This information is a major acquisition. Although it cannot change the situation of the battle, it is very beneficial to be able to make countermeasures in advance to improve the living environment in the tunnel.

It was precisely because the early discovery was too late that the soldiers in the Shangganling area suffered heavy casualties, and the conditions in the tunnels became extremely difficult. Many soldiers were only slightly injured, but in the absence of medicines, they forced themselves Minor injuries turned into serious injuries.

Both the head of the regiment and the political commissar have realized the seriousness of this problem. If it is true that the enemy's goal is Shangganling, as Xia Yuan said, the consequences will be disastrous.

Because the focus of the enemy's actions recently is on the Western Mountain, and there are already signs of attack. The 15th Army's focus on defense is on the Western Mountain, and only their 45th Division is in front of the Five Sacred Mountains. There is a possibility of losing the holy mountain.

After hearing this information, the heads of the group and the political commissar sank, and the head said: "This is not good news. Good news and bad news go hand in hand. Let's go and see the seized materials first."

"Hey."

Most of the materials are stored in the No. [-] position. The amount of materials seized in this battle is more than the total amount of other battles. The main reason is that the enemy is bombing the camp this time, and the consumption of materials is not much. , In contrast to other raids, although it was a raid, the war still went on all night. The enemy consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition, and not many weapons and ammunition were finally captured.

When the group leader and the political commissar saw this batch of materials, the haze in their hearts was much less. The group leader said: "Is there a list of this batch of materials?"

Instructor Lin took the list of supplies, nodded and said: "Yes, in addition to these supplies that can be counted, there are also a batch of special supplies, which are also the most lacking in our army at present, medical supplies."

"The enemy has many types of medicines, many of which have special functions."

This includes special drugs such as morphine and epinephrine, and there are a lot of them.

The head of the regiment said: "The medicines of the US military are quite special. Many medicines have good effects, but they are addictive. Such special goods still need to be carefully counted and used with caution."

Instructor Lin nodded: "Yes! The types of medicines in this enemy company are beyond imagination. The distribution of supplies by the foreign devils to each company is several times that of our army. Their weapons and ammunition are astonishing, and the same is true for daily necessities."

Instructor Lin handed the list of supplies to the head of the regiment. The head of the regiment just glanced at it and gasped, "So many supplies! The enemy basically didn't consume much! Have you written the record of the battle process?"

Instructor Lin nodded: "It has been written. After returning early this morning, we have already sorted out the battle records. This is narrated by six comrades who acted together. The whole process is thrilling, and the recorded data is also very accurate. It is worthy of recognition. What's more, the whole operation process can be regarded as a model battle of bombing the battalion."

The head of the regiment knew the value of this combat data just by glancing at it, nodded and said: "Good job, you have made a great contribution this time! Not only have you obtained important information, but you have also wiped out a company of captured enemies at a very small cost. , seized so many materials, creating a battle in which our army seized the largest amount of materials in a small-scale annihilation battle."

The head of the regiment immediately arranged: "You dug the No. [-] tunnel very well. The materials seized last night, except for the artillery shells, were sent to the regiment headquarters, and other materials were stored in the No. [-] tunnel. If the enemy's focus is really on the Five Sacred Mountains, then this You will use the batch of supplies."

"We won't delay here. The accuracy of the information has to be determined. Don't spread this matter in the company to ensure the confidentiality of the information."

Before leaving, the regiment leader and the political commissar explained: "You have people distribute the materials to the first company on the 537.7 Heights, and they also need these materials."

Commander, when the political commissar left, he drove away trucks, jeeps, prisoners, battle records and some meat. These meats will be distributed to other companies of the 235th regiment. After all, many companies have not driven meat for a long time. The appearance of this batch of supplies allowed the soldiers to have such a sumptuous meal.

As for the artillery shells, due to the large number, they definitely cannot be sent there today. We can only wait until tonight to send the shells to the regiment headquarters.

That night, Company Commander Gao arranged for people to send part of the supplies to the 537.9 Heights, and all kinds of heavy firepower equipment to the regiment headquarters.

On the 537.7 highland, the first company commander who was stationed was very surprised to see the weapons, ammunition and some canned food sent by the Ninth Company. even.

Such a result shocked all the officers and soldiers of the company.

It didn't take long before the regiment rewards were issued to each company first. The main rewards were for the Ninth Company's reconnaissance squad for annihilating a company of U.S. troops in Cangshan, Xiaganling, and for seizing a large number of weapons and ammunition. The rewards are as follows.

"On October 10, thirteen warriors from the reconnaissance squad of the 8th Company of the 235th Regiment annihilated the first company of the Cangshan enemy in Xiaganling at the cost of slightly injuring two soldiers during the tongue-catching task, and seized a large number of weapons, ammunition and living supplies. This is a special commendation, and I hope that the officers and men of the regiment can learn from the reconnaissance squad of the 9th company of the 235th regiment, defy difficulties, fight tenaciously, and give full play to the indomitable and heroic fighting spirit of our army!"

"Special commendation to Comrade Xia Yuan, a new recruit in the company! In the second battle, he led five warriors, went straight into the enemy's position, disrupted the enemy's barracks, and caused the enemy to be killed. This is a brilliant example of bombing the camp! It is the first case of our army with a class unit , An example of annihilating the enemy's first company! Comrade Xia Yuan has contributed a lot!"

".I hope that all commanders and fighters of our army will give full play to themselves, make great contributions, be heroes, and live a glorious life!"

After the commander of the 45th Division received the items submitted by the head of the 235th Regiment, he excitedly said in the teacher's finger: "What a reconnaissance team of the Ninth Company! What a Xia Yuan! Hahahaha! 13 people, only slightly injured two soldiers, Annihilate a company of captured enemies! Seize a large amount of weapons and ammunition! And seize important information! Good! Good! Good!"

The commander of the 45th Division said hello three times, and he immediately called the chief of staff of the division, "Old Feng, this recruit from the Ninth Company is unheard of before. The Hero Class has no choice but to run away."

The chief of staff of the division said with a smile: "No, a recruit is so brave, he should be rewarded by the whole division! He even reported it to the military headquarters!"

The commander of the 45th Division nodded: "That's exactly what I mean!"

Commander Qin of the 15th Army was equally happy after receiving the materials submitted by the commander of the 45th Division. This is a very rare battle in the history of our military, it is unprecedented, and it is a breakthrough!"

Immediately afterwards, the whole division was rewarded, and the whole army was rewarded again!
One squad wiped out one company of the U.S. Army, only slightly injured two soldiers, and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, including bazookas, recoilless guns, mortars, etc., as well as a large number of shells!This kind of army reward can greatly enhance our army's fighting will and determination!
The most critical point is that the tongue they captured provided the volunteers with an important piece of information.

The enemy's target is likely to be the Five Sacred Mountains!And the enemy's actions in the western mountains and the eastern coast are likely to attract the attention of our army!
There are dark clouds above, but the fighting spirit is high below!
The military department's commendation order has been issued to all divisions and regiments. This night attack has almost become a shining example of our army's battle!

Let all the commanders and fighters of the 15th Army take a new look at this recruit who has only entered the DPRK for half a month.

Make great contributions and be a hero!
The soldiers of the Volunteer Army take it as an honor. This award of the whole army was read to all the commanders and soldiers by the instructors of each company at the meeting of each company. For a while, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and vowed to go to the battlefield. Great work, be a hero!

In just two days, the military department's personal commendation order was issued on the 597.9 high ground. Company Commander Gao excitedly summoned the entire company and asked the instructor to read this personal commendation order to the soldiers.

At the same time when the personal reward order was issued, our army was also secretly detouring troops to strengthen the defense of the Five Sacred Mountains, and at the same time sent a large amount of materials to reinforce the 597.9 and 537.7 highlands.

On the night of the reading of the personal commendation order, Company Commander Gao called the platoon leaders to hold a three-hour combat meeting in the tunnel.

And continue to send scouts to scout the recent movements of the US military!

Xia Yuan still stayed in the reconnaissance squad, and went out with Lao Zhou and the others to carry out reconnaissance missions during this time. The results of each reconnaissance were different, and each time, there would be new changes in the rear of the US military. Every reconnaissance The information received shocked Company Commander Gao and others.

It was sunny on March 10.

The weather over Shangganling was extremely clear and sunny.

But for the soldiers in the tunnel, it was like a black cloud hanging over them. Company Commander Gao and Instructor Lin haven't slept much for two days and have been researching. It may be true. At present, the 15th Army has dispatched a division from Xixishan to reinforce the 45th Division. However, due to the narrow area of ​​Shangganling and the extremely fierce enemy firepower, sending a large number of troops to Shangganling will only increase casualties. .

The headquarters sent an order to the 15th Army: "The Five Sacred Mountains are the gateway to North Korea's center line. If we lose the Five Sacred Mountains, we will retreat 200 kilometers without danger. Whoever loses the Five Sacred Mountains will be responsible for history!"

The military headquarters sent an urgent telegram to the headquarters of the 45th Division of the Five Sacred Mountain Garrison!
Only eight characters!
"Don't give up an inch of land! Fight for an inch of land!"

After seeing the order from the superior, the commander of the 45th Division realized that this was to make the 45th Division stick to the Five Sacred Mountains!

After two days of research, the commander of the 45th Division pointed out: "The 597.9 and 537.7 highlands in Shangganling are less than 3.7 square kilometers. Sending a large number of troops on this limited land will only increase the casualties of our army. On the contrary, garrisoning with small units Shangganling, like oil filling, will reinforce the garrison at Shangganling a little bit at a time, which can greatly reduce the casualties of our army!"

"Order the Ninth Company stationed at the 597.9 Heights and the 237.7st Company at the [-] Heights, must stick to their positions! Even if they are all fired! You can't take half a step back!"

"Don't give up an inch of land! Fight for an inch of land!"

After the head of the 235 regiment received the news, his heart sank suddenly.

No one knew better than him what it meant to stick to Shangganling.

The political commissar said: "Yesterday, Gao Xiangyong from the 597.9 Heights sent someone over to say that our number of detour lines is too small. Once a war starts, the enemy's firepower will block the rear, and our detour lines are likely to be blown up by the enemy's heavy firepower!"

At this time, it is already the second stage. Although the five battles in the first stage were fierce and costly, they also hurt the enemy. At this stage, our army has fully understood the firepower of the US military. Tunnels for blasting were dug, and multiple circuitous lines were erected for telephone wires and so on.

"Didn't we set up a main line and two detours?" asked the regiment leader.

"Company Commander Gao said that the enemy's fierce firepower is likely to blow up the detour line, and our detour line is not far apart to prevent the enemy from man-made sabotage. What if it is a fire blockade?"

The political commissar continued: "The U.S. military's firepower blockade is particularly fierce. The previous five battles have confirmed that if the enemy wants to take Shangganling, it will inevitably block all the roads to reinforce the Five Sacred Mountains, and the detour route will also suffer. Company Commander Gao said , In order to prevent accidents, two more detour lines were added on the outermost side of the two detour lines to prevent the enemy's shelling from blocking our army's important passage to Shangganling and blowing up the detour lines."

The head of the regiment thought carefully, "Gao Xiangyong's consideration is more comprehensive, so let the communication team pull two more detours from Shangganling to the regiment headquarters."

"it is good!"

"Do they have any other requests? Forget it, I'll call and ask myself!"

In Shangganling No. [-] Tunnel, Comrade Wang Yongmeng received a call from the head of the regiment and shouted: "Company commander, the call from the head of the regiment."

Company Commander Gao, who was in a meeting, got up and said, "Hello."

The team leader asked directly: "Gao Xiangyong, do you have any other needs?"

Company Commander Gao thought seriously, and said: "Commander, there are no more at present. We have a large amount of weapons and ammunition in the tunnel, which should be enough to deal with the enemy's attack!"

The head of the regiment nodded: "Okay! In addition, I have another thing to tell you, it is the superior who issued a new combat order!"

Company Commander Gao asked, "Commander, is there any reinforcements?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and the voice of the head of the regiment came over: "There are no reinforcements! The superior requires the 235th Regiment to stick to Shangganling! Even if you fight to the last person! You must stick to Shangganling! Shangganling is the gate of the Five Sacred Mountains! The gate of the military defense line! Losing Shangganling is equivalent to losing the Five Sacred Mountains! You know what it means, the gate has been breached by the enemy, and we all have to retreat!"

The head of the regiment said in a calm voice: "According to the latest information, what you will face is the strength of the Seventh Division of the United States, the seven battalions of the Second Korean Division, sixteen artillery battalions, aircraft, and tanks! The area of ​​Shangganling is less than 3.7 square kilometers! The troops stationed at Shangganling, once they are attacked by American artillery fire, you know the consequences! Gao Xiangyong, this defensive task is extremely difficult, and we are all ready! The Ninth Company and the First Company are the first companies! The follow-up companies have already done Ready for reinforcements!"

"The U.S. military wants to win Shangganling and increase its leverage on the negotiating table, and our task is to make the enemy's dream come true!"

"Hold on! It's victory!"

Company Commander Gao's face was solemn, and he shouted loudly: "Persistence is victory! All the commanders and fighters of my Ninth Company swear to live and die with the position!! As long as there is one person from my Ninth Company! The position is here!"
