The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 153 The importance of ideological work!
Xia Yuan found Company Commander Feng. Company Commander Feng was discussing the next battle with the instructor of the Seventh Company. Seeing Xia Yuan approaching, Company Commander Feng put down his pen and looked up at him.

Xia Yuan said stubbornly: "Commander Feng, I can't go down to Ganling!"

Company Commander Feng did not speak, but the instructor of the Seventh Company spoke: "Sit down first, sit down and talk slowly."

"Instructor, there is no rush to rebuild the Ninth Company. The most urgent thing is to carry out the next battle. The battle has not been won yet. How can I just withdraw like this!?"

Xia Yuan looked at the two of them, "I went up to the high ground with Instructor Lin, and now so many people from the Jiulian Company are left on the high ground, how can I go down! There are so many wounded in the tunnel, many of them were injured by me." , In this situation, how can I go down. Company Commander Feng, I am not interested in being a company commander, but as long as there is one person in the Ninth Company, the organization of the Ninth Company will exist, and the organization of the Ninth Company will not disappear!"

Under the gunfire, the sonorous and powerful voice seemed extremely firm.

"Please let me stay in Shangganling and keep fighting!"

Xia Yuan's eyes were firm, Shangganling was his destination, and he would not go down so easily.

The instructor said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, I have heard about your battle deeds on Shangganling for a long time. I admire you for such a battle. You can win battles and have a good style of work. But if you continue to stay in Shangganling, you may die at any time. You You are very capable of attacking fortifications, and positional warfare is not suitable for you. After you go down, bring the rested Ninth Company and come to Ganling again."

Company Commander Feng nodded: "Comrade Xia Yuan, after the counterattack last night, the squad leader told me all your combat experience. Counterattack is the most suitable battle for you. Positional warfare will only ruin your combat ability. You It needs a natural playing field."

Xia Yuan fell into contemplation. After these few battles, he also found that he was more suitable for tough battles. In fact, this was because he had already determined his development direction by opening a novice gift package in the copy of "Changjin Lake" and obtaining master-level combat skills. .

Attack!

Powerful shooting ability, powerful night vision, powerful eagle eye, and powerful bomb throwing ability.

Bringing these abilities together on one fighter is not a qualified fighter.

"I can stay in the tunnel and cooperate with the soldiers' counterattacks. The soldiers need my attacking ability!"

Xia Yuan didn't want to withdraw from Shangganling. He wanted to stay in the tunnel and cooperate with the soldiers to continue fighting. Now the arduous tunnel battle is about to begin. He knows the follow-up development, the tunnel battle, the enemy blocked all the roads leading to Shangganling , It is almost impossible to think about it when the time comes.

It even went so far as to send a basket of apples to Shangganling and get a second-class merit.

Company Commander Feng fell into deep thought. He had previously discussed with the instructor that it would be a good thing if Xia Yuan's attacking ability could be brought into play. Send him to the rear, rebuild the Ninth Company, and lead the team to attack Shangganling again. This is what the two discussed. result.

"If you stay in the tunnel, it will be difficult to play your role according to the existing troops in the tunnel." The instructor seemed to want to enlighten Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan looked at it from the perspective of God. He knew that the future situation would be to rely on the tunnel to fight the enemy for a long time. When the large army counterattacked, the troops in the tunnel had to cooperate with the large army to counterattack. Obviously, he stayed in the tunnel The effect is greater, because before the big counterattack, relying on the soldiers in the tunnel, we can organize counterattacks again and again.

And Company Commander Feng and the others don't know the future situation. They only know that according to the current situation, there are fewer and fewer soldiers in the tunnel, and the enemy's firepower is so fierce. Whether they can survive until tomorrow is a problem. Under such circumstances, let Xia It is obviously the correct decision to go down to Shangganling.

Xia Yuan thought for a while and said: "Instructor, Company Commander Feng, you don't need to persuade me anymore. It is the most correct choice to stay in Shangganling and fight against the enemy with the soldiers. Besides, I am a fighting hero. I can improve the strength of the soldiers by staying here. If I go down, the soldiers are not sure what they will think."

Now it was the instructor's and Company Commander Feng's turn to ponder.

War is not a child's play, it's not you who fight, I fight and forget it.

The mental state and positive attitude of the soldiers are the key to victory. Since the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there have been countless soldiers who have died with the enemy with grenades, explosives, and blasting barrels. What a great feat, the soldiers actively Responding to the call of the country, actively fighting, and sacrificing one's life are all good ideological work done by the instructors on weekdays.

In contrast to the foreign devils, the battle has been going on since 50 years ago. When the US military heard the sound of the charge and the whistle, their souls trembled, trembling, and they could not raise their combat effectiveness at all.

Compared with the volunteer army, a pair of shoes, a piece of unlined clothing, a sip of fried noodles, a sip of water, a gun that may not be able to fire well, and is exposed to the severe cold of minus [-] degrees, and has duck down sleeping bags, warm clothes, military coats, and has aircraft tanks and armored vehicles , with an unimaginable artillery group, the US aircraft carrier on the sea, the US transport planes, fighter jets, and bombers in the sky, and the tanks, armored vehicles, and cars on the ground. Such a huge contrast, the soldiers just rely on their tenacious will and defy the enemy. The life and death are desperately fighting with the enemy.

Just ask, which country's soldiers can do this.

The ideological work of soldiers is very important to our army, and the bond between comrades is even more important. Watching my close comrades perish with the enemy with blasting tubes for the safety of others, watching the guns in their hands The wounded handed the first aid kit that he was reluctant to use to himself who was only slightly injured.

No one will not be moved, for such a group of people, so what if you risk your life.

Now that the battle at Shangganling started, the conditions of the tunnels would become more and more difficult, and the mentality of the soldiers became particularly important. As commanders and fighters, they knew this very well. After thinking about it carefully, the instructor felt that what Xia Yuan said was not completely unreasonable.

A living combat hero in Tunnel No. [-], how much spiritual encouragement can the wounded and soldiers in Tunnel No. [-] bring? Once Xia Yuan is withdrawn, the soldiers may not say anything, but they will more or less think about other things in their hearts. thing.

The instructor looked at Company Commander Feng and knew that he had listened, and he was also thinking seriously.

"Let me stay, the soldiers need me, and I need the soldiers!"

Company Commander Feng finally nodded and agreed to let Xia Yuan stay.

What Xia Yuan said was right, a battle hero staying in the tunnel could bring great spiritual encouragement to the wounded and soldiers in the tunnel, and could raise the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Due to the stability of the telephone line, the regiment headquarters called Tunnel No. [-] from time to time to inquire about the situation.

At present, the situation in Shangganling is constantly changing. Due to obtaining the enemy's intelligence in advance, our army has changed its combat plan, relying on tunnels, launched a small counterattack against the U.S. troops on the surface position, and fought guerrillas in Shangganling.

From the night of the second day to the early morning of the third day, the enemy's artillery fire lasted for a whole night, and continuously bombarded the surface positions of Shangganling in various ways. In the tunnel, it seemed to be in a drum, shaking and roaring. Just like a firecracker battle, it goes on and on, without end.

After a sleepless night, until the next morning, the observers passed the news that the enemy was coming up, and Company Commander Feng immediately ordered: "Let them come up! The first squad is ready to fight back immediately! The second and third squads are the second echelon, and Xia Yuan is in charge of this operation." monitor!"

"Yes!"

During yesterday's counterattack, a group of soldiers were basically convinced by Xia Yuan's powerful bomb-throwing and shooting abilities. They didn't have any doubts about being a squad leader, let alone a platoon leader.

Xia Yuan stuffed the grenade in the ammunition box on his body, and said while stuffing it: "Commander Feng, there are not many weapons, ammunition and water sources left in the tunnel. We must be ready to run out of bombs at any time. The progress of the other well how's it going?"

"Don't worry about this. Lao Gao told me before leaving that I have sent two soldiers to continue digging down. According to them, the humidity at the bottom is already very high, but rocks have been dug up so far. It is estimated that the progress of this digging It will slow down in the near future, and I have already informed the regiment headquarters of the current conditions in the tunnel."

Company Commander Feng still thinks comprehensively about this aspect: "Water, food, and ammunition are what we are most in short supply. Fortunately, you have seized a lot of canned food from foreign devils before. These alone are enough for us to eat for a while."

The materials seized in Cangshan Mountain had to be pulled several times before they were finished. Except some meat was sent to the regiment headquarters, some canned food and ammunition were sent to the first company on the 537.7 highland, and the rest were still stored in the tunnel. There is no food crisis in a short period of time.

Xia Yuan nodded, "But we still have to prepare in advance for running out of ammunition and food. This battle is estimated to last for a very long time."

Company Commander Feng thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's possible. According to the bombardment of the foreign devils, it won't take long for them to run out of shells."

When it comes to bombardment, Company Commander Feng gets angry. The enemy's shells are so extravagant that they don't need money, but they bombard the mountains vigorously. There is no one on the extraordinarily high mountains, and they bombard them vigorously.

Not only the surface positions of Shangganling were bombed, but the logistics troops of the 15th Army also encountered fierce enemy bombing, and lost a large amount of supplies every day, all of which were destroyed by enemy bombers and fighter jets.

The outbreak of the Battle of Shangganling not only shocked Commander Qin of the 15th Army, but also shocked his superiors. In view of the fierce bombing of Shangganling by the US military, the superiors decided to bring in an anti-aircraft artillery regiment to protect the logistics and artillery positions of the 15th Army.

Unlike the Volunteers, the movement on the U.S. side was much greater. With the end of the second day's battle, the commander of the U.S. Seventh Division summed up the conditions for losing the battle in the past two days, and summed up the idea that the enemy was at the end of his rope. In the battle before sunset, Company F of C Battalion, the [-]th regiment-level combat team of the U.S. Seventh Division, boarded Shangganling. The same, without the slightest preparation, although there are not many people, but everyone has a machine gun in their hands.

Due to the short time they boarded, the future and the construction of fortifications were stunned by the sudden appearance of the enemy with machine guns.

The commander of the U.S. Seventh Division concluded that the enemy had reached the end of the mountain. As for everyone having a machine gun, it is likely that the soldiers just felt wrong. How could the poor volunteers have so many light machine guns? Unless we gave them, otherwise They will not have.

There is a high probability that one person is holding an old submachine gun, which is not powerful and often jams.

After the meeting was finalized, it was planned to send a battalion to occupy the surface position of the No. [-] position, and send engineers to follow. Once occupied, immediately build fortifications and gain a firm foothold.

At night, Van Vleet called again. The next day's battle was over, and the commander-in-chief asked him to report the current progress. How dare Van Vleet tell the commander-in-chief the truth, but said: "The infantry has already occupied some The position on the triangular hill and the sniper ridge."

The commander-in-chief was overjoyed that the showdown plan was progressing smoothly.

Van Vleet, who put down the phone, immediately called the commander of the U.S. Seventh Division. The commander of the U.S. Seventh Division received feedback from the frontline soldiers. For the upcoming victory, order [-] artillery battalions, more than [-] tanks, and more than [-] machine gun vehicles to bombard Shangganling uninterruptedly, and attack Shangganling reactionarily at [-] o'clock in the morning of the next day!

Van Vleet was very happy and let him go. After hanging up the phone, he sat on the soft sofa and smoked a cigar. A press release to be issued tomorrow.

The battle that was planned to take five days had achieved staged progress on only the third day, which would add another rich color to his war resume.

The situation in the U.S. Army Command is optimistic, but the Volunteer Army Command is full of gloom. The commanders and fighters can't sleep all day and night, paying close attention to every move in the Battle of Shangganling. According to the news from the frontline positions, the No. [-] tunnel can fight There is only one platoon of soldiers left, and the news sent back by the correspondents in other tunnels is basically a squad. Currently, tunnel No. [-] is in a state of loss of contact.

The surface position was occupied by the US military, the correspondents could not go up, and the situation of Tunnel No. [-] was not under control.

Bad news came from Shangganling one after another. The troops in the tunnels were insufficient. The continuous fighting made the weapons and ammunition in the tunnels extremely scarce. The food and water sources were acceptable, but if this continues, the food and water sources will also become troubles for our army. A big problem.

In the hazy morning, when Xia Yuan and others organized a counterattack at Shangganling No. [-] position, the rear military headquarters was brightly lit. Commander Qin asked the logistics minister: "How is the number of shells delivered by the Corps prepared?"

"The reserve of various shells has exceeded [-] rounds!"

"Not enough! It's far from enough. The enemy's daily ammunition consumption is several times that of our army's current ammunition reserve. If you want to organize a major counterattack, this is not enough!"

Commander Qin looked at the direction of Shangganling, which was still shrouded in gunpowder smoke in the early morning, and worried: "Shangganling can't be lost! Let the 235 regiment prepare weapons, ammunition and living supplies, and reinforce the combat troops in the Shangganling tunnel!"

"Yes!"
