The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 137 This is their red spirit, 14 day and night counterattack
The US military command post was brightly lit, and a group of commanders looked at the map model of Shangganling, unable to calm down for a long time.

It is really hard for them to imagine that it is clearly a small hill. They have dispatched four battalions of troops to attack continuously under the continuous bombardment of aircraft and cannons. After receiving the casualty report from the front line, they were furious and kept cursing, and none of the adjutants dared to say anything.

"The triangle mountain is still not captured. Do you know how many infantry casualties have occurred?"

"One thousand and five hundred people! One thousand and five hundred people! Fuck! Fuck! Go to hell! If this continues, the Seventh Division will be finished sooner or later!"

"Fuck!"

An adjutant said cautiously: "Sir, the good news is that we captured the enemy's position on the east side."

The commander glared at him and cursed loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, we expect 200 casualties to capture the enemy's position, but we failed to capture 500 casualties. Are you happy that only one is in the position? You idiot!"

"Sir, according to the report of the supervisory team, the United Nations Army has many soldiers who fear war."

The commander turned his head and looked at him: "Are you reminding me to improve the morale of the soldiers? Fuck! You need to remind me!? The United Nations Army is a bunch of stupid pigs. They didn't come here to fight at all, they came here Those who are on vacation, look at their infantry, they are frivolous, and look at our opponents!"

He stepped forward and stared at the adjutant in front of him: "Oss, do you know how many Chinese soldiers are in the position in front of us? A reinforced company! Fuck! We used two divisions to defeat the enemy's reinforced company! I didn't Dare to report the results of today's battle to the commander, if he finds out, you know what will greet us, do you know what those fellows from the Associated Press will write about us?"

"Call us a bunch of pigs! Thousands of people can't beat a position guarded by hundreds of people!"

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

The adjutant kept silent, scolding the Bangzi Army and those idiots of the United Nations Army. If it weren't for them, our infantry would have already captured Shangganling!
Bunch of idiots!
The U.S. military took the 537.7 Heights. It seemed to have won, but it actually lost.

The commander of the 235th Regiment headquarters in the rear is anxious. The enemy has been bombing the surface position of Shangganling for a day. What is the strength of our army on the surface position and how is the position holding? After the enemy fired a round of shelling, there was no more movement.

The artillery ammunition reserve of our army is very small. One round of shelling basically exhausted the artillery ammunition reserve of the 235 regiment. If it hadn't been for the 235th and [-]th company to capture a batch of shells, otherwise the [-] regiment would not be able to organize such a large-scale and large-scale bombing.

Bad news came from the artillery position. After a round of continuous firing, there were only three artillery shells left.

In the evening, news came from Shangganling, which had been out of contact for almost half a day. After a day of fierce fighting, there was not much ammunition left in the tunnel, and there were only more than [-] soldiers left in a reinforced company, including the wounded and seriously wounded. Inside.

597.9 Highland No. 11 position, No. 537.7 position, and No. [-] position were lost, and all the surface positions on [-] Highland were lost. The first company and the ninth company suffered heavy casualties.

The political commissar asked the head of the regiment, "Should we continue to fight when the war has reached this level?"

The Ninth Company and the First Company were almost abolished. Three positions were lost on the 597.9 Highland, all 537.7 Highlands were lost, and there were only three shells left in the artillery position. In such a situation, how should we continue to persist.

The command post of the 45th Division in Jincai-dong was set up in a large and strong tunnel. When the division commander learned that the two highlands had fallen, he immediately picked up the phone and said to the commander of the 135th regiment:
"Regimental Commander Zhang, I am very aware of your current situation. It is very difficult for you to hold on to the defense without artillery support, but you must calm down, plan carefully, and immediately organize a counterattack force while the enemy's foothold is not stable, and take the position overnight. return!"

The head of the regiment put down the phone and said to the political commissar: "Fight! No matter how difficult the conditions are, this battle must continue! Let the fifth company, the sixth company, and the seventh company carry weapons and ammunition, pass through the enemy's bombardment area, and reinforce Shangganling!" Launch an attack on the No. 597.9 position, NO.11 position, and No. [-] position of the [-] highland at [-] o'clock in the evening, let the soldiers in the tunnel cooperate with our army's counterattack! In addition, use the shells that can be used, whether they are mortars, mountain guns or howitzers , use them all to support tonight's counterattack!"

When the order was issued, Company Commander Gao in Tunnel No. [-] received the combat order, and he immediately ordered: "Leave a combat team in each position, and the others pack up their weapons and ammunition, and cooperate with the No. [-] Company to collect and pay Position No. [-] tonight." !"

"Yes!"

Company Commander Gao ordered the cook, "Open some canned food from foreign devils tonight and let everyone eat something good."

The cook nodded: "Yes!"

Company Commander Gao said again: "Save the meat for the seriously wounded."

This dinner is not very rich, but it is definitely the best meal the soldiers have ever had. Each soldier gets a piece of meat, served with biscuits, vegetables, and some salty soup. This is the dinner , The soldiers ate with gusto, and Wang Lan fed the wounded who were not very convenient to move to the soldiers bit by bit.

Sun Yuan sat in front of Xia Yuan, finished drinking the soup, looked at Xia Yuan, and said, "Xia Yuan, for the battle tonight, the enemy's firepower will be handed over to you."

Xia Yuan took a bite of the biscuit, nodded and said, "Platoon leader, don't worry, I will blow up the enemy's bunkers and firepower points."

After dinner, the soldiers gathered together. After a day of fierce fighting, many soldiers' guns were broken and they needed to replace new weapons and equipment. Many guns taken from the positions were stored in the tunnel. But there was not much ammunition left, especially the consumption of grenades. Ten thousand grenades were thrown on the first day, and there were only seven boxes of grenades left in the tunnel.

Seven boxes are not enough.

Company Commander Gao was worried: "Only the first day's battle consumed the ammunition that was planned to be used for a month, so how should we fight the next battle? If there are such battles every day, the casualties will increase. "

While Commander Gao was worried, Xia Yuan was also worried. After dinner, he squatted in front of the well he dug with his gun in his hand. There was no water coming out of the well, but the humidity was already high. During the battle, he had no time to dig wells, unless our army moved into the tunnels to fight in advance.

But now the order given by the superior is to stick to Shangganling, and the push hand tunnel is estimated to take a while.

Xia Yuan had no choice but to dig a well with only a hammer and an awl. After all, this is not modern. With advanced drilling machines, drilling wells in Shangganling tunnels is done manually.

The sky outside is gradually dimming, and the roar of enemy planes can still be heard overhead, and the continuous bombing of our army's rear.

Sitting in the tunnel, you can hear the ever-spreading roar.

Xia Yuan left the 'water well' and came to the ammunition supply place. A wounded man said: "Squad Leader Xia, this is a large eight-grain magazine."

Xia Yuan looked up at the wounded. The wounded was leaning against the wall. Bandages were wrapped around his head and left eye. One arm was lost, and the wounded bandage was stained with blood. His other hand was still able to move. With one hand, one bullet loaded one bullet at a time. There were many scattered bullets and magazines full of bullets on the ground in front of him.

"You should have a good rest."

Xia Yuan put away the clips on the ground and stuffed them into the bullet bag.

The wounded said firmly: "Although I was injured and one arm was lost, I still have one arm that can move. You are all shining on the front line for the cause of defending the motherland. How can I rest in the tunnel, no matter what I suffer? What a serious injury, as long as I can still move, I will contribute my part to the great cause of defending the motherland!"

His tone is so firm, his will is so tenacious, and his eyes are so bright.

Xia Yuan looked at the other wounded in the tunnel, whether they were sitting or lying down, there were clips of loaded bullets and scattered bullets beside them. The fierce battle had destroyed their bodies, but it did not shine brightly on them. Will, their will is harder than steel and higher than Mount Everest!

This is their red spirit.

"gather!"

Commander Gao's voice came from the entrance of the tunnel.

"I will take the bullets you pressed and kill more enemies!" Xia Yuan said firmly.

"Thank you, Squad Leader Xia."

When Xia Yuan left, he turned his head and looked at the one-armed soldier again. He was holding a bullet, and he was still pressing the bullet into the magazine with difficulty. Often when he exerted force, the magazine would run away, and he put The clip is on your thigh, so that when you press the bullet, the clip will not run away.

Xia Yuan, who lives in modern times, has never seen such warriors. They may have sacrificed, but their spirit has become a bright red star, guiding us in the direction.

Xia Yuan still turned his head and followed the assembled team to attack the lost No. [-] position.

He found that there were many new soldiers at the entrance of the tunnel. Squad Leader Hu said: "This is the team of the Seventh Company of our regiment. The man is Feng Ji, the company commander of the Seventh Company. He was born as a machine gunner. Great!"

Xia Yuan glanced at Company Commander Feng. There were scars on his dark cheeks. He looked ferocious. He spoke loudly, saying "his grandma has a leg". Carried some magazines in the pouch.

Company Commander Gao discussed with him the battle plan for tonight, and he suddenly shouted: "Xia Yuan! Xia Yuan!"

Familiar or unfamiliar eyes from the crowd fell on him. Company Commander Feng spoke loudly and looked at him: "The sharpshooter and bombardier of your company was the last time he led a squad of soldiers to lightly injure two soldiers. The price of taking down a company of the enemy."

Company Commander Gao nodded: "It's not him, tonight's tough battle depends on him, it's definitely right."

Company Commander Feng waved to Xia Yuan: "Come here and let me have a look."

Xia Yuan stepped forward through the ranks. Company Commander Feng looked at Xia Yuan and couldn't help admiring: "Old Gao, not bad, this soldier is very energetic, he is a good seedling, and being a platoon leader is enough."

Company Commander Gao said: "Comrade Xia Yuan still needs to sharpen and sharpen, but he has been able to win a battle hero in today's battle alone. Today, in the east of the No. [-] position, he alone killed at least [-] enemies. The enemy's corpse It can be piled up into a mountain."

Company Commander Feng was surprised: "It's weird! That's terrible!"

Company Commander Gao said: "Not only that, just wait and see for tonight's battle."

The night is a paradise for volunteers who are good at night battles. At 14:20 on the evening of the 15th, the sky was already dark. The 11th Army of the Volunteer Army took advantage of the fact that the "United Nations Army" had just occupied the No. [-] position, the No. [-] position, and the No. [-] position. The company's forces were divided into four groups to launch a counterattack against the "United Nations Army" in the three surface positions occupied by Shangganling.

The roaring artillery shells whistled sharply in the sky, and landed on the surface positions of No. 11, No. 2, and No. [-] occupied by the "United Nations Army", blooming everywhere. Because our army did not have enough shells, the shelling lasted only [-] minutes , The trumpeter blew the counterattack.

The enemy blocked them with fierce artillery fire. On the road of our army's charge, enemy shells continued to fall. In this continuous roar, the chant of the charge became more and more loud and exciting.

The task of counterattacking the No. 45 position was undertaken by the 135th Company and 7th Company of the 9rd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Division. people.The task of the blaster was assigned to Xia Yuan, and Zhao Fengshou, who delivered the news to the No. [-] tunnel, asked Company Commander Gao to temporarily join the understaffed second squad as the blaster.

All the work for the attack has been done, and the [-]th and [-]th companies have also touched the front of the No. [-] position. The enemy has built a large number of fortifications at the No. [-] position. A round of shelling only destroyed part of the enemy's fortifications. The fortifications built by the enemy, and on the second position, the enemy has about a reinforced company's strength.

In the crater left by the enemy's shelling during the day, the soldiers of the assault platoon watched the enemy intently.

"Four machine gun bunkers, more than ten machine guns, about the strength of a reinforced company."

Xia Yuan turned on the night vision and saw clearly the enemy's defenses on the second position, and the distance between the two positions was 200 meters, throwing a grenade would be impossible, but long-range sniping might be possible.

He touched over, found Platoon Leader Sun, and said, "Platoon Leader, I can kill the enemy's machine gunner, but killing the machine gunner is a drop in the bucket. The enemy has more than ten machine guns, so it's obviously too late, but we can take advantage of the enemy's replacement machine gunner." As long as I can get close to the enemy's bunker by 100 meters, I can blow up the enemy's bunker!"

Platoon Leader Sun observed the front and thought about it seriously: "How sure are you?"

"Very sure!" Xia Yuan said firmly.

"Then do it!"

The counterattack started, Xia Yuan set up the big eight, aimed at the enemy's machine gun bunker, full of vigilant foreign devils, pulled the trigger, bang bang bang, continuous gunshots came out, the bullet was fired, with a bang, The foreign devils in the machine gun bunker could hear the sound of bullets piercing through the skulls of their comrades.

The moment Xia Yuan knocked down the enemy's machine gunner, Platoon Leader Sun led the soldiers to charge towards the enemy with an unstoppable momentum. When they approached the enemy bunker about 150 meters away, more than a dozen machine guns in the four remaining bunkers fired fire. The intensive firepower frustrated the assault platoon's charge.
