The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 456
"Be careful."

Everyone exclaimed, grabbing something that could be fixed beside them, trying to catch Liu Tiezhu and Wang Xiaoliang, but they couldn't catch them at all. The rain ponchos under their bodies instead became an aid for them to accelerate their slide down faster.

Xia Yuan heard the movement behind, turned around and saw Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Tiezhu sliding down the mountain one after the other, stepping out with one foot, kicking hard, and pounced on Wang Xiaoliang precisely, grabbing him with one hand They drew out their bayonets and plunged them into the ground, and the gravel and mud below them rose up. The sharp weeds scratched their cheeks, and bloodstains appeared on their bodies.

After sliding down a few meters, Xia Yuan and Wang Xiaoliang stopped, and Liu Tiezhu was also rescued by instructor Shao and Lao Yang.

"The mountain is too steep. It has rained and the mud on the ground is slippery. Be careful."

Xia Yuan grabbed a wet stick on the ground, and said: "Collect materials locally, use the stick to support the ground, if it slips, grab the stick sideways, the stick may be entangled by weeds and vines, it will stop .”

The crowd responded, took local materials, cut off some small trees with bayonets, made sticks, and walked down the mountain cautiously while supporting the ground.

Passing through this difficult mountain road, they stopped after a while. They had already appeared at the foot of the mountain, dropped their sticks and continued to move forward, passing through a wilderness of mountains and roads, dense forests and bushes, avoiding the US troops stationed on the surrounding high ground, After advancing for more than ten kilometers, I could see flickering lights in the distant mountains and forests, roaring cars, and a world like daytime.

"Going forward is the US military station."

Xia Yuan frowned and saw that the enemy's defenses extended horizontally. On the mountain and on the road, there were fortifications left by the U.S. military everywhere. , along the way, there were US military inspections, patrols, tanks and armored vehicles parked on the road, and the lights illuminated this area like daytime.

The tents stretched deep under the light, and various materials were piled up. The figures of the US troops swayed among them, patrolling, carrying materials, carrying corpses, and packing up weapons and ammunition.

"So many, this one, that one, are all U.S. military bases."

They are standing on a high ground with no U.S. troops stationed, only [-] meters high, and have no defensive value, but for them, they can observe the distribution of enemy troops. According to their observations, this area is almost occupied by the U.S. military, as if Pieces of spider webs are distributed here.

Everyone watched, dumbfounded, how many American troops there are.

"The strength of a regiment-level combat team must have several thousand people. The US army we saw in the ravine last time has not yet fully deployed. a teacher."

Although Xia Yuan didn't want to admit it, what they were facing in front of Jiuluan Mountain was a regiment-level combat team of the enemy, and the enemy forces facing the other lines of defense were also in the same regiment.

Just the front is the strength of a full division of the Seventh Division of the United States.

On the eastern front, that is, the right wing of the 24th Division is the [-]st US Marine Division, and the left wing has a division of the Pseudo-[-]th Division, and extending to the left is the [-]nd Puppet Division and the [-]th US Division.

"According to the current situation, the front of the [-]th Division, the left and right wings have been occupied by the enemy, leaving only the rear."

While thinking, the soldiers exclaimed.

"How many U.S. troops should be in a division?"

"I don't know, there are more than 1 people."

"You didn't see that there are so many in a regiment, and there will only be more in a division."

Instructor Shao asked, "Xia Yuan, you are most familiar with the US military. How many people are there in a division of the US military?"

"It's about the same as our army."

Xia Yuan's voice was a little heavy.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and kept silent. A division is equivalent to an army of ours, which means that the strength of the enemy in the front is more than three times that of ours. In an instant, everyone felt the pressure on their bodies suddenly become huge.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Xia Yuan turned his head and looked at them with a smile on his face.

"Company commander, we are not afraid!" Wang Xiaoliang clenched his fists and said, "We are not afraid that the enemy is better equipped than us, or that the enemy has more people than us, and we are not afraid of sacrifice, but I am afraid. If I sacrifice, what will the motherland do?" , who will protect her."

"Yes, company commander, we sacrificed, who will protect her in the motherland."

Liu Tiezhu also asked, Sun Changgui also asked, the soldiers of the cooking squad asked, the soldiers of the machine gun company asked, even Ma Daguo, Chen Lie, and Instructor Shao looked at Xia Yuan, they were also asking and wanted to know.

Sacrifice, they are not afraid.

What I am afraid of is that if I sacrifice myself, who will protect the motherland in the future.

When they are here, they can watch. After they die, they can’t watch. What will happen to the motherland?

They are not afraid of death, but of this.

Because in order to achieve such a goal, I don’t know how much I sacrificed, but now that the motherland has just been established, everything is developing in a beautiful direction.

Why do they go forward, shed their heads, shed their blood, use their flesh and blood to fight against the US military with a torrent of steel, in order not to let the motherland repeat the same mistakes, to protect the motherland, and to let the people live a happy and healthy life .

They are afraid that if they die, they lose, and everything is over.

"No, we will win, the motherland will be prosperous and strong, and the people will be happy."

Xia Yuan looked firmly at the U.S. troops stationed in the mountains and wilderness, and said: "Our generation shoulders the responsibility of defending our home and country, protecting our motherland so that it will no longer be invaded by Western powers. Mission, we will win, the motherland will be rich and strong, and the people will be strong. At that time, when the western countries talk about China again, they will be in awe, timid, and afraid, because at that time, we will already be strong and have become a powerful country. .”

He could imagine that the martyrs of the Volunteer Army at this time, when they sacrificed, would not even think about whether the war will be won or not, and what the motherland will look like in the future. All they can do is obey orders and defend their homeland , even if the hope of victory is so slim.

After listening to Xia Yuan's words, the belief of victory rose in everyone's hearts. This belief will support them and make them go on more unswervingly.

A regiment-level combat team of the U.S. Army is right in front of the Jiuluan Mountain defense line. From this point of view, the enemy's defenses are likely to be lined up. According to Company Commander Cui, the Tongguli defense line has been lost, which means that Tonggu The enemy on the inner defense line is in a prominent situation.

When leading a company of soldiers down the mountain, Xia Yuan began to think about the overall situation. Based on the information he had, he had already basically judged how the [-]th Division would fall into the encirclement of the enemy step by step.

Once the enemies in the direction of Tongguli start to attack forward, it is bound to form a falling domino, forming a chain reaction, and then it will be the turn of Jiuluan Mountain,

Tomorrow's battle will be even more difficult. They may be attacked by the enemy in the direction of Tongguli, and no one can predict the situation they will face next.

"The enemy line of defense is lined up, but there will always be gaps."

North Korea's terrain is complicated, with many mountains and few roads. The enemies are lined up, and there are gaps. It is easy for a dozen people to pass quietly. Once there are too many people, there will be a risk of exposure. This kind of position , is only suitable for small-scale troops to pass through.

The road along the way was shrouded in darkness, and there was a faint light shining over it, which was also a vast expanse of whiteness. With the rotation of the searchlight, it quickly disappeared. The bottom of the leaves condensed and hung into a small drop of water. When the wind blew, the untouched small water drop fell from the leaves and hit the heads of the soldiers who were hiding under the tree.

A dozen figures lurk in the bushes, waiting quietly, waiting for an opportunity.On the side of this road, there are searchlights set up by the U.S. military. There are also checkpoints set up by the U.S. military on the road to protect the road along the way. After all, the volunteer army is stationed ahead. The volunteer army is better at fighting at night, so the U.S. military has strengthened the night Especially on the front line, in order to prevent the volunteers from attacking, they set up a lot of searchlights on the high and low sides of the road along the way to protect the road and ensure that the trucks on the road can pass safely.

Four trucks came in the distance, with wounded people sitting on the trucks, with bandages wrapped around their heads, or drips, listless, the trucks roared past, and the raindrops fell on their ponchos, making a crackling sound , The truck did not go to the enemy's garrison, but passed a road extending south. After passing through the checkpoint, the lights became fainter and disappeared soon.

While observing, Instructor Shao said: "A car of wounded, the enemy is transporting the wounded, why didn't they drive the car into the garrison, instead they drove toward the back."

"This shows that the enemy's hospital is in the rear."

Xia Yuan observed for a while, staring at the surroundings. When the searchlight came on, the mountains and forests were pale, as if covered with a layer of silver frost, and the dancing and swaying tree shadows passed by everyone's sight.

The light swept across, and it took a while to shine. This gap was their opportunity. Xia Yuan immediately ordered, and a dozen figures immediately got out of the bushes and rushed towards the opposite side of the road. Foreign devils are not clairvoyant, and this black light is blind , Coupled with the hazy drizzle, the visibility has been reduced a lot. More than a dozen black shadows rushed across the road without attracting any enemy's attention.

Crossing the road and walking towards the enemy's rear along the path in the ravine, Xia Yuan turned on his night vision and eagle eyes, and observed along the way, always on guard against places where the U.S. military might appear. After entering the rear, the U.S. military's defense is much looser In addition to the light source of searchlights on the high ground, there are almost no US troops on this narrow and winding mountain road.

Even if the US military was spotted on the high ground along the way, the lights of the searchlights were shot down, and it was a vast expanse of whiteness. Coupled with the raindrops falling from the sky, they only needed to lie on the ground, even if the lights of the searchlights hit On them, the enemy couldn't see clearly what was in the mountains. The light shone on them and it was a vast expanse of white, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

When the light passed, the alert Xia Yuan immediately asked the soldiers to lie on the ground. When the light passed, he immediately got up and left here without stopping for a moment. Crossing the winding and rugged mountain road, Xia Yuan found that there was a mass of shells in front of him. Blown-up forests, fallen trees, weeds wailing, bullet points and burnt blackened ground everywhere in the forest.

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand to grab the ashes of plants and trees on the ground, it was wet, and when he pinched it hard, the muddy water droplets fell to the ground.

"Did you find anything?"

Instructor Shao kept people on guard, squatted beside Xia Yuan, stared around, and asked.

"This place should have been bombed some time ago, but there is no other discovery. We have passed through the enemy's defense zone. This should be the enemy's rear."

Xia Yuan threw the wet ashes of plants and trees on the ground, his ears moved slightly, and continued: "Old horse, come here."

"Lao Xia, what's the matter." The big man ran over and asked in a low voice.

"Take two people and go over there to have a look. There should be a road over there, and see what the transport troops over there are delivering. After the investigation, they will wait for us here."

Xia Yuan pointed in one direction, using the sound to identify the location, he vaguely heard the roar of the car, it was very subtle, and it should not be far from their location. If it is confirmed that it is a transportation route, it is absolutely possible to follow this road all the way south , In a no man's land, attacking the opponent's convoy, when he set off, he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart.

"Old Xia, what are you going to do?"

"I took them to the other side to have a look. The US military's defense zone is so large, there must be more than one transportation route. During the day, the ammunition was consumed seven to eighty-eight. I guess they must not be idle tonight, especially the transportation route."

Xia Yuan said in a deep voice, what he said is very reasonable. During the day, the artillery fire of the U.S. military is particularly fierce. They organized a battalion-by-battalion attack. There must be a lot of ammunition consumption. Moreover, the enemy troops will definitely not bring their luggage with them when they move forward. , It must be the mechanized troops who open the way. After developing the garrison, all kinds of materials will be transported to the front line.

"Then be careful."

"It should be that you should be more careful. There may be small groups of US troops on the high ground on both sides of the transportation route. Keep an eye on the enemy's searchlights and move forward carefully. In addition, you must pay attention to your feet. The road up the mountain is likely to be arranged by the US military. Booby trap, if you touch it, we will be exposed."

"Okay, I see, I will be more careful."

"Well, just check it out, don't be reckless, come back immediately after the check, don't stay longer, if you stay for a minute longer, it will be more dangerous."

"Okay, I remember what you said, after exploring the enemy's road, we will come back here and wait for you."

After finishing speaking, Big Ma and the three comrades from the machine gun company quietly got into the bushes.

Watching them leave, Xia Yuan thought about it, and he had to start taking action.
