The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 129 I Want To Be A Hero (Part [-])

10 month 13 day.

It was the eve of war.

The time when the enemy launched a general offensive was [-]:[-] am on the [-]th.

There are only a dozen hours left before the battle of Shangganling begins.

The US military camp was filled with cheerful laughter.

overhead.

Their country's planes are roaring.

underground.

Their country's tanks are roaring.

far away.

Artillery fire continued to unleash on the enemy's positions.

All the big soldiers know that when the general offensive starts, they will follow the planes above their heads, follow the tanks around them, and follow the artillery fire to Shangganling, which will soon belong to them.

At the mobilization meeting in front of the station of the big soldiers, their commanders announced in a high voice, "On the high mountain of Shangganling, there is our victory there. The enemy will dissipate under our artillery fire, and everyone, just follow us!" Let our tanks board Shangganling to pick the fruits of victory that belong to us. All the resistance of the enemy will be in vain. Our aircraft and our artillery will destroy all the enemy's fortifications on the position."

"Soldiers, tonight, go to welcome the fruits of victory that belong to you!"

The commander of the Eighth Army, Van Fleet, also made a high-profile statement: "Western Mountain, the Five Sacred Mountains, an important line of defense leading to the enemy's rear, is the enemy's strategic fortress. Under our prepared plan, the enemy's heavy forces have already Concentrated on the Western Mountains, and the Five Sacred Mountains in front of us are like girls on the dance floor waiting for us to capture the enemy’s Five Sacred Mountains, and the casualties are expected to be within 200, or even less.”

"After tonight, tomorrow will be a new chapter in history. The defeat we caused on the land of the Korean War will be blown away by the wind and will disappear in the long river of history. Witnesses of the new chapter, we will cross Shangganling, attack the Five Sacred Mountains, pass through the enemy's rear, and even hit the Yalu River."

The Seventh Division of the United States and the Second Division of Korea assembled seven battalions of troops, sixteen artillery positions, a large number of aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles, and various powerful individual weapons. Each soldier was armed to the teeth, and even wore special bulletproof armor. This time they were full of confidence and vowed to rush to the enemy's position and plant their own country's flag on that high ground.

They are confident, full of confidence, with arrogance.

What about having a tenacious will to fight? Can it be compared with our aircraft and cannons?
This time, they want to rewrite the defeat of the US military in the Korean battlefield, change the international evaluation of the US military in one fell swoop, and defeat the enemy that has made them suffer countless times.

This time, they did not think that the enemy would be able to defend their attack.

Many soldiers confidently believed that when the [-]th came, they would rewrite history.

Compared with the turbulent movement of the US military, the volunteers on the 597.9 Heights and 537.7 Heights became calm again. At the same time, new orders from the superiors were issued.

"The head of the 135th regiment is responsible for commanding the battle on the 597.9 highland, and the head of the 133rd regiment is responsible for commanding the occupation of the northern mountain of the 537.7 highland. The head of the 134th regiment is on standby at the division command post, ready to go into battle at any time. The artillery group of the division is controlled by the 45th division. The deputy division commander and the deputy director of the Army Artillery Room are under unified command!"

The final preparations before the station, both sides are in the tense preparations, of course, compared to the volunteers' intense preparations and troop mobilization, the U.S. military is very relaxed, they have the most advanced mechanized troops, basically can complete the entire general engineering troops in one day transfer.

This is far from what the Volunteers can compare.

In the tunnel of No. [-] position, only Xia Yuan knew that the US military's general attack time would be three and a half hours after today.

Since there is no combat mission, they are actively preparing for battle, and the soldiers dig tunnels even harder. Defending the position is to defend the country, and digging tunnels is also to defend the country. After leaving the reconnaissance squad, Xia Yuan returned to his own In front of the two wells, Squad Leader Hu dug a lot, but still no water came out, while the humidity of the soil was getting wetter, and even a small amount of accumulated water appeared at the bottom of some relatively deep pits.

This gave Xia Yuan a glimmer of hope. When the well was dug out, the environment in the tunnel would be greatly improved.

There was a sound of quarreling outside, Xia Yuan raised his head slightly, looked around, but he simply dug the tunnel again if he couldn't see it.

Due to the tense battle, the enemy's actions became more and more frequent. The female soldiers of the art troupe and the female hygienists of the medical team had already left Shangganling, but unexpectedly, a female hygienist named Wang Lan found the company commander and insisted on staying in the tunnel.

No, Company Commander Gao and Instructor Lin are doing ideological work for female soldiers, but Wang Lan said: "I don't agree to retreat to the rear. Men fight wars, but we women can do the same. I can treat the wounds of wounded soldiers. And bandage the wounds of the soldiers!"

"Commander Gao, just let me stay. Although I participated in five battles, I just followed the troops around. I didn't do anything, I didn't contribute anything, so I just left. When people ask me what contributions I have made on the battlefield, I can only say that I bandage the wounds of the wounded."

"I also want to contribute to the country!"

Company Commander Gao had a headache, and Instructor Lin said patiently: "Comrade Wang Lan, you have already made a contribution to the country by bandaging the wounds of the wounded. How can you say that you have not made a contribution? There will be a war soon, and you, a lesbian, will stay in the tunnel. It is not safe, and the enemy may attack at any time."

"Instructor, you men can do it, so can I!" Wang Lan said stubbornly.

Gao Lian said: "Comrade Wang Lan, this is not a question of whether or not."

Wang Lan stood up, stood at attention, and said with firm eyes: "I am not afraid of sacrifice! I am also a glorious volunteer soldier! Resist US aggression and aid Korea, defend our home and country!"

She sang again with a clear voice: "Crossing the Yalu River with arrogance and high spirits~Protecting peace and defending the motherland is to protect the hometown~The good sons and daughters of China are united and united~Resist US aggression and aid Korea and defeat the US emperor's wild wolf!"

Company Commander Gao and Instructor Lin looked at each other.

Wang Lan hit the rails while it was hot: "Company commander, instructor, we sang it in the war song of the Volunteers to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The good sons and daughters of China are united and united. If you can defend the motherland, so can I!"

Instructor Lin thought for a while and said, "Old Gao, forget it, let Comrade Wang Lan stay first."

Company Commander Gao said with some distress: "If you stay like this, there will be problems."

Wang Lan's eyes were firm: "Commander Gao, I'm not afraid of problems. If the enemy dares to come in, I will fight the enemy with a grenade!!"

After a pause, she continued: "I'm afraid that when I go home, people will ask me what contributions I made on the Korean battlefield, but I didn't make any contributions. That's what I'm afraid of."

Seeing this, Company Commander Gao couldn't say anything more, so he agreed to let Wang Lan stay in the tunnel.

It's getting late.

Tunnel No. [-] has changed from the original two tunnels to four tunnels, and there are still three tunnel entrances.

As for the water well, there is still not much movement. The main reason is that digging a tunnel and digging a water well are two completely different concepts. Digging a tunnel is simple, but digging a water well is different. Dig deep, dig accurately, and dig out water.

At this time, the time for the enemy to launch a general offensive is getting closer and closer.

On the evening of the [-]th, it was no different for the volunteers on the ground. The soldiers who had dinner were still doing their original work. Xia Yuan continued to dig his well, and at some deeper places, he stretched out his hand, Hands are full of water stains.

This means that his well is not far from getting water.

"Instructor, I continued to go to the forward position for reconnaissance. In the past two days, the firepower of the US military has suddenly become fierce. With such a change, the foreign devils are probably already preparing."

Instructor Lin nodded: "Okay, you must pay attention to safety."

Company Commander Gao nodded, and took four squads of soldiers to the front of the position to reconnaissance as usual. Before reaching the front position, he felt that the enemy's searchlights were extraordinarily bright tonight, which made Company Commander Gao more vigilant.The soldiers set off in earth-gray coats. Company Commander Gao stood there and was still pondering carefully. It was not until the last soldier disappeared in the darkness at the foot of the mountain that he led his correspondent, Comrade Wang Yongmeng, down the mountain.

Company Commander Gao led his men deep into the mountains and forests. With the cover of night, he looked through the binoculars at the enemy camp far away. The front position of the 'United Nations Army' was noisy with people, and the motors of the cars roared all night.In order to prevent the car from turning on the lights to expose the target in front of the Volunteer's artillery fire, the enemy has been using searchlights to illuminate the road for the car.

The unusually bright lights, noisy voices, and roaring motors indicated that the enemy would not be too peaceful tonight.

"These foreign devils are very strange tonight, and the situation they saw in normal times is a bit different." Company Commander Gao observed carefully. In the past, the enemy's camp was not like this, and the foreign devils were very peaceful on weekdays.

But looking at tonight, armored vehicles and tanks can be seen through the peripheral light of the enemy's searchlights. The most important thing is that the enemy's vehicles do not turn on their lights.

Such an abnormal situation made Company Commander Gao, who had been in the army for more than ten years, instantly startled.

After carefully observing the abnormal movements in the enemy camp, he led the soldiers back to Shangganling.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Company Commander Gao reported the observed enemy situation to the commander of the 597.9th Regiment who was in charge of commanding the 235 Heights, "Commander, this is the situation. The actions of the foreign devils tonight are really a bit abnormal. Do it tonight."

The head of the regiment smoked a cigarette and frowned: "Since we realized that the enemy's target is Shangganling, we have been spying secretly, and the movements of the US military have become more and more frequent, not only the Western Mountain, but also the Five Sacred Mountains. The US military wants to attack the West." Especially in the past two days, the U.S. military has suddenly intensified its offensive on the Western Mountains. At the same time, the frequency of U.S. aircraft bombing and bombardment is also increasing. All these signs show that the battle is very Might be starting."

"Gao Xiangyong, you remember! The more you and Lin Weiguo have to hold your breath at this time, the US military's offensive method has been confirmed as early as the first five battles, and it is basically the same as the little Japanese devil's offensive method. On the one hand, I don’t need to teach you anymore, and you have been commanding wars for several years.”

"But there is one thing you have to remember for me!"

"Position! Never lose it!"

Company Commander Gao said solemnly: "Regimental Commander! Don't worry! Guaranteed to complete the task assigned to me by the superior!"

Putting down the phone, Captain Gao said: "Instructor, comrades and platoon leaders come to the meeting immediately!"

The content of the meeting was aimed at the defense of the 12-yuan position. Company Commander Gao said: "The offensive mode of the US army is almost the same as that of the Japanese army. The artillery bombardment, the aircraft bombing, and the bombing are accompanied by the enemy's infantry charge, or infantry coordination. The best way is that when the enemy's artillery fires, they will go into the tunnel, and when the artillery stops, they will immediately rush out of the tunnel, and each platoon and squad will stick to the divided positions and strike the enemy with firepower."

Everyone has serious expressions on their faces. They have already realized that war is very likely to come.

"The superior asked us to stick to the position, regardless of the time, even if it is all shot, we must put the enemy in front of the position!"

Company Commander Gao had a serious expression on his face, "Behind us is our motherland, and the safety of the motherland rests on us. We must win this battle!"

In the tunnel, Xia Yuan also stopped digging the well, and rested on the bedding with his gun in his arms. He needed to gather enough energy to deal with the battle tonight.

Squad leader Hu went to a meeting again. In the past two days, memories, large and small, have been held continuously. The soldiers in the tunnel have basically realized that the battle may be coming.

The 597.9 highland is composed of three small hills, the highest peak is in the south, and the "United Nations Army" calls it the "Triangle Mountain", which faces the US military across the mountain.Zhao Fengshou and Squad 2 and Squad [-] stick to Position No. [-], which is oriented to the northeast, and the tunnels built are deep and narrow, with twists and turns.

Zhao Fengshou had already clearly sensed that something was wrong tonight. After the platoon leader returned, he quickly held a meeting of the squad leader in the tunnel of the No. 2 position. The positions they held on to included No. 11, No. 7 and No. [-] The position, the meeting held was mainly aimed at the defense of the three positions.

Zhao Fengshou was sitting in the tunnel, holding the gun tightly, not feeling sleepy at all. The deputy squad leader of the first class bent over and came to him, sat down and said, "What's the matter, can't you sleep?"

Zhao Fengshou nodded dully.

The deputy squad leader smiled and asked, "Have you ever been on the battlefield and fired a gun?"

Zhao Fengshou shook his head dully.

The deputy squad leader said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. It is inevitable to be nervous when you are on the battlefield for the first time. You have also seen this situation. The enemy's attack is likely to be within these two days. When the battle starts, don't Be afraid, because the moment you are afraid, the enemy will become fiercer, and you will be more fierce and ruthless than the enemy!"

He said: "Just like Comrade Xia Yuan, he went to the battlefield for the first time, but he fought fiercely and made the enemy scream. You should learn more from him. When we fight, the competition is who is more ruthless!"

Zhao Fengshou turned his head to look at the deputy squad leader, and said seriously: "Vice squad leader, don't worry, Comrade Xia Yuan fought very well in the first battle when he joined the company, I can do the same! I won't hold back our squad .”

"I want to be a hero too!"

The deputy squad leader looked at him and nodded: "I believe in you! You can definitely become a battle hero! Go to sleep. After the battle starts, it is probably impossible to sleep."

"it is good!"
