The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 187 Squad Leader Li is looking forward to victory in the battle.

537.7 Heights Beishan's first phase of counterattack achieved a phased success, which greatly dealt a blow to the enemy's arrogance and drove the enemy back from the position to the foot of the mountain.

But only one day later, the enemy's new round of offensive began. The soldiers strictly followed the tunnel combat policy of their superiors. After resisting in the position, they quickly retreated to the tunnel. After paying huge casualties, the enemy once again captured the 537.7 All positions in Beishan Highland.

On November 11, the cold winter in North Korea was approaching quietly. In the evening, the temperature dropped below zero.

The soldier in charge of guarding at the entrance of the tunnel curled up into a ball, shivering from the cold. The coldness made him more energetic. At this moment, he felt a warm quilt covering his body. The soldier looked back take a look.

Standing up with a bang, "Battalion Commander!"

"Sit." Xia Yuan smiled and tightened his clothes.

"Battalion Commander, cover it for you, I'm not cold." Even though the soldier was shivering from the cold, even though the quilt on his body was very warm, the soldier still rolled up the quilt and stuffed it for Xia Yuan.

"There are still in the tunnel, this is for you."

Xia Yuan returned the quilt to him, turned around and shouted: "Hu Changdao."

"battalion commander!"

Hu Changdao quickly ran over with a military coat in his arms and put it on for Xia Yuan.

Seeing this, the soldier put away the quilt and wrapped it around his body. Sure enough, the chill disappeared a lot, and his body became a little warmer.

"Thank you battalion commander!"

The soldier's heart warmed.

Xia Yuan smiled and said: "Fight, sooner or later we will win, we are not too late for the day of the battle."

"Battalion Commander, the superior's call."

The walkie-talkie came running again.

"Hey." Xia Yuan stood up, patted the little soldier on the shoulder, and returned to the depths of the tunnel. The soldiers all woke up, and their eyes became bright.

They heard the voice of the walkie-talkie operator, woke up immediately, touched their guns and waited for the order from their superiors.

The order from the superior was issued, and the 12th Army, which had changed defenses, decided to use the strength of the 92st, 1th, and 7th companies of the 8nd Regiment the next day to counterattack the enemy at the North Mountain of the 537.7 Highland. Encountering the enemy's artillery fire, it was convenient to suddenly attack the enemy immediately after the artillery fire extended. On the night of the 10th, regardless of the severe cold, the commandos moved to the tunnels of the North Mountain of 537.7 Heights and the enemy's front rock to stand by for an attack.

After Xia Yuan received the order from his superiors, he quickly led people to stand guard at the entrance of the tunnel, ready to meet the commando at any time.

The severe cold came quietly, and the temperature had dropped to below zero. With the cover of night, an assault platoon quickly approached the No. 537.7 position in the North Mountain of [-] Heights. Xia Yuan saw the assault platoon moving this way in the ravine through night vision.

"Be ready for battle at any time."

Xia Yuan murmured, loaded the gun, and was ready to respond at any time.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the clothes on the soldiers rattled, and the soldiers swayed in the cold. They held guns and squatted on the left and right sides of the tunnel entrance, silently, ready to follow Camp Commander Xia at any time. Attack the enemy.

There was no danger, the assault platoon entered and arrived at the entrance of the tunnel smoothly. The two sides did not care about talking. Under the cover of the two combat teams, they quickly entered the tunnel. The soldiers of the two combat teams quickly put away their guns from the left and right sides of the tunnel The reverse slope entered the tunnel and left a combat group at the mouth of the tunnel.

"The leader of the 12nd platoon of the 92th company of the 8nd Regiment of the 2th Army, Zhou Ming reported to Commander Xia!"

In the tunnel, Zhou Ming held a gun salute to Xia Yuan with some excitement. Since the outbreak of the Battle of Shangganling, the deeds of the Shangganling God of War have been circulated in all armies and companies. In this way, the commanders and fighters of each army and company will tell the soldiers about Xia Yuan's battle deeds.

From the unnamed highlands to show their sharpness, to the Xiaganling Cangshan annihilation battle became famous, and then the Shangganling battle broke out. With the fighting spirit, led the soldiers in the No. [-] tunnel, and forcibly turned the No. [-] position into the enemy's mouth. The devil's position' changed the enemy's face. In the positional battle, every time the enemy attacked the No. [-] position, they organized a reinforced battalion, but Xia Yuan led the team to defeat them again and again.

He is a well-deserved battle hero in Shangganling.

Now that the battle on the 597.9 highland is basically over, Xia Yuan came to the 537.7 highland to continue his legend. The foundation was laid for the overall victory of the counterattack at the No. [-] position.

How could Zhou Ming and the soldiers in the second row not be excited when they saw such a fighting hero.

In the Battle of Shangganling, almost all the soldiers took Xia Yuan as their example, and the heroes who died in Shangganling as their goals.

Countless soldiers feel honored to be able to fight in Shangganling.

The arrival of the assault platoon made the soldiers in the tunnel very happy. Since the first stage of the counterattack, no follow-up troops went up the mountain, and they basically relied on the soldiers in the tunnel to fight against the enemies on the mountain.They held the hands of their comrades cordially and discussed matters during the battle, but they discussed more about this battle hero.

"You are welcome. With you, tomorrow's counterattack will go much smoother."

Xia Yuan said with emotion.

The deputy platoon leader said: "Captain Xia, don't worry, we will beat these foreign devils hard in tomorrow's counterattack."

11月11日16时25分开始，第92团在山炮、野炮、榴弹炮70门、迫击炮30门和火箭炮24门的支援下，以三个连的兵力对537.7北山实施反击，激战至17时50分，全部恢复了537.7高地北山表面阵地，全歼守敌南朝鲜军第2师第17团1个营。

The second stage of the counterattack was completely victorious. It is a difficult problem to defend the captured positions, especially the No. 537.7 position in Beishan, [-] Heights, which is the focus of the two armies' competition. As early as two days ago, Xia Yuan So Li Xiangze and Sun Shangyong each led a squad of soldiers to reinforce the No. [-] position.

Position No. [-] is the only way for the Volunteers to cover reinforcements and ammunition supplies. Relying on it, positions No. [-] and No. [-] can be recovered in one fell swoop, and positions No. [-] and No. [-] can be directly taken.

537.7 Highland Beishan was once again contested by the Volunteers. After the successful counterattack in the second stage, Xia Yuan also received the task of going to the No. [-] position and sticking to the No. [-] position. The No. [-] position was handed over to the eighth company's assault platoon.

In the middle of the night, Xia Yuan set off with a squad of soldiers, and they quickly arrived at the No. 12 position full of scorched earth. The volunteers built a solid fortification here, and the 92nd Regiment of the 3th Army was stationed on this hill. In the 1st platoon of the [-]rd company, they turned the No. [-] position into a steel fortress.

Xia Yuan met the platoon leader of the third company and the deputy platoon leader in the No. [-] position. They admired Xia Yuan very much. When asked about the former fighters, the platoon leader said: "The enemy's defense in the No. [-] position is very strong. , Last night’s counterattack caused heavy losses to the counterattack troops, they sacrificed a lot, and the seriously wounded were all in the tunnel.”

Xia Yuan glanced at the group, but did not see the soldiers coming out of the No. [-] tunnel. When he came to the entrance of the tunnel, he heard the sound of surprise coming from the tunnel.

"The summer camp leader is here! The summer camp leader is here!"

In the dark tunnel, filled with a strong smell of blood and stench, a group of warriors looked like savages.

Among this group of people, Xia Yuan saw Sun Shangyong who was seriously injured, wrapped in bandages all over his body. When he saw Xia Yuan coming, he excitedly held Xia Yuan's hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Battle Commander, I'm going to blow up the bomb!" I didn't embarrass you by destroying three bunkers."

Xia Yuan was extremely moved, and held his hand tightly: "Have a good rest."

He looked at the seriously wounded in Tunnel No. [-]. Most of them were sent by himself from Tunnel No. [-]. They were lying in the tunnel with no hands or legs, and their bodies were wrapped in bandages.

Xia Yuan saw Li Xiangze again, his lower jaw was knocked out by the enemy's bullet, leaving only the upper half of his face and a tongue, covered in blood.He couldn't speak anymore, he could only make a clicking sound, and blood foam kept coming out of his mouth, looking horrifying, Xia Yuan held Li Xiangze's hand, and tears flowed down his eyes.

Li Xiangze couldn't speak, but held Xia Yuan's palm tightly with his hands, his eyes were bright with light, which was the light of longing for victory.

Xia Yuan said with tears in his eyes: "We have won, we have won, all the positions have been defeated by us."

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Li Xiangze made a clicking sound again, blood foam blocked his throat, he had to swallow the blood, he wanted to speak, but couldn't speak, the enemy's bullet knocked off his jaw, The clothes on the chest were dyed black and red.

He still held his breath.

After hearing Xia Yuan's words, he held onto Xia Yuan's hand tightly like this. Gradually, the grip loosened a bit. Gradually, the soldiers could no longer hear the crackling sound, and Li Xiangze died. , He closed his eyes, and seemed to be very relieved to walk, because he knew that the position had returned to them, but he could not see the day when the battle was won.

The soldiers in the tunnel all cried.

Xia Yuan held back his tears and did not cry out in front of the soldiers. He turned around and came to the entrance of the tunnel, and the tears slid down his cheeks. He didn't know how many times he cried in Shangganling. Every time, he felt deeply for the soldiers. And moved.

Hu Changdao cried and said, "Squad Leader Li is so looking forward to winning the battle."

The soldiers all knew that Squad Leader Li held his breath just to hear that the counterattack had been won. Only in this way would he feel relieved to leave.

At this time, a row of correspondents came in and said in an anxious voice: "Captain Xia, the enemy is coming."

The wounded in the tunnel couldn't sit still anymore, they called for a fight one after another, and went to stop the enemy. Even the seriously wounded sat up with support, asked the battalion commander to fight, and entrusted them with the most difficult task!
Xia Yuan knew that if missions were really sent to the seriously wounded, they would definitely carry the blasting tubes and die with the enemy, so he immediately rejected the seriously wounded's request to fight, saying: "If we kill them all, you will be the second echelon. "

He looked at Sun Shangyong and said, "The troops in the tunnel are under your command."

After finishing speaking, he took Hu Changdao and led the soldiers of his class to the No. [-] position.

The battle has already begun.

A platoon of deputy platoon leaders leads a squad to guard the left wing, three squads guard the right wing, and the second squad is controlled by the platoon leader, which is a mobile force.

Xia Yuan led his men to defend the middle position. The enemy's offensive was very fierce, but the determination of the soldiers to win was far stronger than the enemy's offensive. The death of Squad Leader Li was still deeply imprinted in their minds, and they secretly I swear that even if it costs my own life, I will keep the victory that Squad Leader Li desires.

On the twelfth, the enemy attacked three times and hit a nail. They did not get anything except a batch of corpses.

The strength in the middle of the No. [-] position made the enemy's brain very troubled.The unfavorable enemy turned to use more intense firepower to block the hill, trying to strangle this standing force.

During the day, under the blockade of enemy fire, troop movement and transportation are very difficult.Chen Zhiyuan, the squad leader of the third squad in a row, led the soldiers in the squad to brave the enemy's guns and bullets to collect ammunition from the enemy's corpse, and shot at the enemy in front of the formation while collecting.

At night, the enemy illuminated the small hill with strong searchlights and closely monitored the situation on the No. [-] position.The soldiers endured hunger in the cold winter night, regardless of the exhaustion after the fierce battle, they were busy repairing the fortifications, preparing to deal with the enemy's attack the next day.

In the bomb shelter, a platoon leader sat with Xia Yuan, looking at the strong light shining on the enemy's position, cursing.

Xia Yuan asked: "How is the quantity of weapons and ammunition now?"

A long line said: "Not much, there are only four boxes of grenades left, and only three boxes of machine gun ammunition left. The weapons on the soldiers are severely worn, and the ammunition consumption is even more serious."

The deputy platoon leader heard the dense artillery blockade on their movement route, and said: "The enemy is planning to block us on the No. [-] position and completely block us."

The No. [-] position is very important. Comrades transporters who want to deliver weapons and ammunition to the soldiers in the tunnel all come from the No. [-] position. The movement route of the No. [-] position is blocked, and the weapons and ammunition cannot be delivered. The enemy's fierce attack consumes a lot of ammunition.

Xia Yuan glanced at the searchlights on the enemy's position through the hole of the gun, and after thinking, he said:

"We touch the bullets from the dead bodies of our enemies!"

The first platoon leader was startled, and said, "Captain Xia, isn't this too risky?"

Xia Yuan set up the big eight grains and said: "No risk, I will knock out the enemy's searchlights, and you send death squads to touch the enemy's corpse."

The first platoon leader and the deputy platoon leader looked at each other, and the first platoon leader said, "Captain Xia, we listen to you."

Soon, they organized a squad of fighters, carrying nothing, ready for action.

The night vision was turned on, and the enemy's defenses on the opposite hill appeared in Xia Yuan's eyes. He set up the big eight grains, pulled the trigger continuously, and there were several gunshots, and the enemy's searchlights went out in an instant. Suddenly, the entire No. [-] position was plunged into darkness.

Several heavy machine guns on the top of the enemy's mountain rang out, and the chain of fire swept across from the opposite high ground, like a long whip hitting the small hill with a radius of less than 100 square meters.

　Brothers, it seems to be really sunny. I feel that the head temperature is a bit high. After taking Analgin, I was so sleepy that I wrote two chapters in the afternoon. I will return the added ones first. I will see if I can do it tomorrow. If you can't persist, you can persist in three shifts, and if you can't persist in two shifts.
