The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 184 The counterattack is over, the battalion commander's position
The soldiers chased more and more bravely, and quickly rushed to the flanks of the second position. After quickly deploying combat orders, regardless of whether the enemy found it, they quickly ordered the artillery to fire at the enemy on the second position, and then they continued to attack the eighth position. But this time, under Xia Yuan's command, they will do it the other way around.

How the No. [-] position fell without killing the enemy commander will soon be learned by the enemy in the No. [-] position.

Therefore, they will definitely strengthen the flanks.

As for the butt, it is estimated that someone will be sent to look at it, but there will definitely not be too many soldiers looking at it.

Xia Yuan used this move when he hit the Shuimen Bridge. He hit the south of the bridge and hit the north of the bridge.Now that the enemy already knows how the soldiers attack, then do the opposite. Didn't you strengthen the flanks?Then I will push the flanks and touch your ass.

Five mortars, three light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, three recoilless guns, and three bazookas were left on the flanks, and the firepower pretending to be a feint attack was led by Company Commander Dai Wannian and the No. Soldiers from one squad in each of the tunnels launched a feint attack to the flanks. Xia Yuan, Kuang Junyi, and Zhang Xiaosheng each led a squad, and the soldiers from the two squads that joined them in tunnel No. [-] went down the mountain under Xia Yuan's leadership. Under the cover of night, attack the enemy on the mountain from the enemy's rear.

Commanding the tunnel in the No. [-] position, the commander of the No. [-] position reported the situation of the No. [-] position to the commander of the No. [-] position with lingering fear, and then, under the suggestion of the commander of the No. [-] position, strengthened the defense of the flanks and buttocks. Of course, The focus of defense is still on the flanks.

Sure enough, the flanking battle started. The firepower of the volunteer army was extremely fierce. The machine gunners followed Company Commander Xia’s instruction, don’t save bullets. Recoil gunners, artillerymen, and bazooka players also kept in mind Company Commander Xia's exhortation, that shells do not need to be saved, and the battle is won, as many guns as we want and as many as we have, no enemy will build them for us.

After the remnants of the No. [-] position and the enemy of the No. [-] position joined together, they quickly strengthened the flanks. The commander of the No. [-] position looked at the flares on the flanks and showed a smile on his face: "We have already figured out the attack method of the Chinese soldiers." gone."

The commander of the No. [-] position smiled and nodded: "Yes, thanks to you, otherwise, according to the level of firepower of the Chinese soldiers, the flank defense would not last long at all."

The commander of the No. [-] position listened to the gunfire of the flanking volunteers, and felt lingering fear. It was really thanks to the remnants of the No. [-] position. Respond quickly and strengthen the flank defense.

Little did they know that behind their buttocks, a reinforced platoon quickly assembled and scattered on the enemy's reverse slope, waiting for an opportunity.

After a brief observation, Xia Yuan showed a smile on his face, and ordered the artillery to adjust the artillery fire, aim at the firepower point on the enemy's buttocks, prepare to load ammunition, and at the same time order each class to prepare for an attack.

"fire!"

At his order, more than twenty mortars neighed, thump, thump, and the sound of the crisp barrel trembling was so pleasant. The shells exploded on the enemy's buttocks. After two consecutive salvos, The soldiers quickly launched a fierce attack on the enemy's buttocks, releasing heavy firepower and flying bullets. The troops guarding the enemy's buttocks were no more than [-] enemies in a row.

The heavy machine gun fired a round, and Xia Yuan sniped at close range.

The attack took less than 1 minute, and a platoon lost one-third of its troops.

The two commanders who were leisurely and leisurely were stunned when they heard the violent artillery fire from the Volunteers, and then they saw the leader of the E row who was stationed at the rear rushing in with a disheveled face, shouting in horror.

Behind them, spot the enemy army!
Big troop!
When the commander of the second position heard this, his eyes turned black.

The commander of the eighth position reacted quickly and immediately shouted: "Quick, order the troops to quickly support the rear defense line!"

That was a line of defense they built on the reverse slope, but it was very fragile, because the troops attacking them were led by Xia Yuan, who was known as the "Legendary Recruit" and "Shangganling God of War". An attacking cobra pierces the enemy's weak line of defense with lightning speed, like a sharp knife.

A remnant platoon on the defense line that had been destroyed by artillery fire was dispersed by the volunteer army led by Xia Yuan before reinforcements arrived. The rear troops quickly relied on the enemy's defense line built on the reverse slope to quickly build artillery positions, Heavy machine gun firepower, and launch a fierce attack on the enemy on the mountain.

A stick soldier fired a flare into the sky. In an instant, the entire rear position was exposed to the enemy's sight. However, these stick soldiers who rushed up were shocked. There were enemies all over the mountains and fields, and there were enemies everywhere. On the ground, on the pile of rocks, they are rushing towards the ground like a tide.

The stick soldiers quickly set up firepower points and covered ground fortifications, but one round of shells destroyed their delusions.

The forward position encountered a ferocious attack from the Volunteers in the No. [-] tunnel, and the flanks also encountered fierce attacks from the Volunteers. Although the two lines of defense were temporarily held, they were only barely. They experienced two rounds of artillery from the Volunteers' rear artillery positions. Boom, there are already heavy casualties, and there are not many soldiers who can be mobilized. If the rout soldiers from the eighth position did not join in, I am afraid they have fallen by now.

It was under such circumstances that a large force of the Volunteer Army appeared behind them, and the offensive was extremely fierce. Like a ferocious beast, it tore them to pieces in the fragile direction behind them. The more ferocious the Volunteer Army's offensive , the morale of the stick soldiers became more and more depressed.

Soon, under the leadership of Xia Yuan, this group of volunteers who looked like wolves, tigers and leopards tore apart the blocking defense line built by the enemy, and successfully broke through into the enemy's position.

"Destroy all enemies that appear in front of you!"

Xia Yuan yelled, holding a light machine gun, as if possessed by a killing god, the night vision was turned on, and those enemies who were hiding in the trenches and trying to sneak up on them in the dark were quickly lying on the ground under the strafing of bullets, They didn't understand until they were dead, lying on the ground in the dark, how the Chinese soldier manipulating a heavy machine gun found them.

They didn't understand until they died, and they met God with this doubt.

Unfortunately, God did not stand on their side. Perhaps they were moved by the will of the volunteers, or they were frightened by the spirit of the volunteers who are not afraid of death. God's miracles have never happened on the Korean battlefield. This is a cruel war.

In this war, human life is the least valuable.

Xia Yuan yelled and kept ordering the various combat teams to attack in that direction. He was like a soldier with a God's perspective. When he saw the enemy's soldiers, he first fired bullets and then bombarded them with grenades. Immediately followed by ordering the combat team to lean over.

It was under such a command that the casualties of the soldiers were greatly reduced.

The soldiers also realized Xia Yuan's strength, and the battle groups spread around Xia Yuan in a fan shape. Xia Yuan's orders were passed on by word of mouth. Pack it up, because it is dark night, even with the fire of artillery fire all around, malnourished soldiers can easily misread the gestures.

After the rear troops broke through the enemy's defense line, facing the pressure from the rear, the defense line built by the stick soldiers on the flanks and the front line began to loosen and slowly rout.

The front line of defense was the first to be defeated. Since the flanks had powerful heavy firepower, they did not need the support of Xia Yuan and others. However, the volunteer soldiers on the front line of defense had less heavy firepower. , Under such circumstances, Xia Yuan led his men to quickly break through the enemy's central position and went to the frontal battlefield. Join the soldiers in Tunnel No. [-].

So far, the situation in the second position has changed rapidly.

Under the attack of nearly a company of troops, the flank was quickly defeated.

In four and a half hours, positions No. 11, No. 11, and No. [-] were successfully recovered by volunteer soldiers. Just as they were about to attack No. [-] position, the signal to occupy the position was lit on No. [-] position.

Xia Yuan and the others stopped, with a smile on their dark faces.

At 86 o'clock in the middle of the night, all the surface positions in Shangganling were recovered, and the 597.9th regiment's assault troops occupied all the positions on the [-] highland, and quickly ordered the soldiers on each position to rush to repair the fortifications overnight.

Xia Yuan had learned the enemy's method of building bunkers. He led the soldiers to dig holes and fill them with sandbags and planks left on the ground, build fortifications, build bunkers, and connect trenches and traffic trenches.

When the day was about to dawn, a prisoner was sent to the forward position. This guy seemed to be stupefied by the artillery fire of the Volunteers. When the translator asked him, he just trembled like chaff, and screamed like a madman: "It's over! I can't run away! The U.S. military and Syngman Rhee are finished!"

No valuable information was obtained from this distraught and slightly delirious captive.It turned out that he was a strong man who had just been captured from Busan to supplement the recruits of the Second Division of the South Korean Army. Except for the fact that he knew which squad he was in, he couldn't even remember the numbers of their platoons and companies. In those few words, it makes people feel that he knows their fate better than the U.S. military and Syngman Rhee.

The sky shimmered, and soon the sun pierced through the layers of gunpowder smoke and shone in.

The soldiers had long been prepared to deal with today's fierce enemy attack. They prepared all the weapons and guys in the tunnel. However, on the second day, due to the heavy blow to the ground reserve team, the enemy failed to launch a big counterattack. The fist that he was planning to use to hit people has been crushed to pieces.

All the superficial positions in Shangganling are still firmly in the hands of our army.

On November [-]nd, during the staged counterattack and the various tasks of consolidating the tunnels, Xia Yuan led a team of soldiers to continuously block the enemies rushing forward. During the continuous blocking process, the soldiers also It was found that the enemy's attack was weakening, far less violent than before.

On November [-]th, one day, the enemy organized three attacks, the scale of the attack was only one reinforcement company, and the machine gun on the devil's position fired, and the enemy all ran away.

Xia Yuan led the soldiers back to the tunnel, and told Dai Wannian about today's position defense, but when he came in, he found a strange face in the tunnel, Xia Yuan asked: "This is?"

Everyone got up, Dai Wannian introduced to Xia Yuan: "This is the battalion chief of staff of the 135th Regiment, Wang Zaibang."

Xia Yuan was a little surprised and gave a gun salute.

Wang Zaibang held Xia Yuan's palm and sighed: "I have heard about the name of Shangganling God of War, the legendary recruit, and I finally saw it today. This time I came to Shangganling, besides the combat mission of the superior, the most important thing is to find you .”

Xia Yuan said: "Chief of the Battalion Staff, please tell me."

Wang Zaibang took out a document from his bosom, "This is a document for appointment, and it is the appointment document for the commander of the 135th Battalion of the 4th Regiment."

Xia Yuan stared at the document in Wang Zaibang's hands, his mind was buzzing. This was more shocking than being bombed by a shell.

Wang Zaibang continued: "As you can see, the 135th regiment has been expanded into a strengthened regiment after the decision of the superiors. There are currently no good candidates for the extra fourth battalion. The superiors have discussed and discussed it. You will be the commander of the fourth battalion."

Xia Yuan said in a voiceless voice: "The battalion chief of staff, this... I have just served as the commander of the Ninth Company, why don't you even take a month?"

Wang Zaibang comforted him and said: "Thirty days and nights of counterattack operations, you used your excellent commanding ability and minimal casualties to successfully capture the first, eighth, and second positions, annihilated a battalion of the South Korean army, and created the Shangganling counterattack operation. The battle where the largest number of enemies were eliminated, if it wasn’t for the people from the 83rd Regiment who took down position No. 11, I guess you and your people have already killed position No. 11.”

He said: "Just this one thing is enough to demonstrate your commanding ability. What's more, when you first joined the company, you fought on the unnamed highland. With your support, you successfully broke through the enemy's firepower bunker blockade and took down the unnamed highland. South Korean Army. Xiaganling Cangshan, you led a squad of soldiers and wiped out a company of the U.S. Army. You created a model battle in the history of night raids with fewer victories and more battles. At the same time, you led the soldiers to dig water wells to solve the problem of water shortage in the No. [-] tunnel, and lay the foundation for the success of the subsequent tunnel operations in the No. [-] tunnel.”

"As for your performance on Shangganling, although the chiefs didn't see it with their own eyes, the results of each day's combat were reported to the regiment one by one, and the regiment handed it over to the division headquarters, and the division headquarters handed it over to the army headquarters. Even Commander Qin praised you as 'the well-deserved Shangganling God of War'"

"The position of battalion commander is already burying your military exploits."

"When the battle at Shangganling is over, the regiment leader won't be able to escape."
