Chapter 519 The Opposite Plan
Trust the country, trust comrades-in-arms, and trust superiors.

Every head of the division, in addition to unconditionally resolutely implementing the orders issued by the superiors, is unconditional trust and obedience.

"But we still have to prepare for the worst."

Xia Yuan also understood that the orders of the military department were more authoritative than his own verbal statements.

How could I let this group of old Red Army soldiers disobey the military order!

Obviously impossible.

Otherwise, for the safety of every comrade in the [-]th Division, Master Zheng and the others would have chosen to break out of the encirclement, instead of staying where they were and continuing to block and contain the enemy.

Master Zheng said: "It's not that time yet, don't make the worst of the situation. It's not that the military department hasn't issued an order to break out of the siege. We should just follow the previous tasks. Comrade Xia Yuan said, everyone Listen too, after all, this is also a soldier's speech, don't interrupt."

Chief of Staff Wang did not speak.

Xia Yuan knew that he had said something wrong. In the eyes of these old Red Army chiefs, orders were everything. What he said just now undoubtedly implied that there were risks in the orders that might be issued. If necessary, whether to choose to continue to obey and execute .

In fact, this is not the worst scenario, but it is about to happen.

But what else can I say, is it possible to tell them that I am from the future?
It is estimated that no one believes it.

This road does not work, we can only find ways to solve these problems.

"If we break out from Yingfeng, at least we have to plan for the worst case. The enemy's encirclement and suppression, the 24th Division can't cope with the situation. Breaking out from the direction of the retreat cave, we must also be prepared to face the blocking of the US Seventh Division. We want to break through the blockade of the U.S. [-]th Division and reach Mapingli, which is very close to Zhiyanli, and we have to consider whether Mapingli is occupied by the U.S. [-]th Division.”

"Master, that's all I want to say."

Xia Yuan raised his head to look at Mr. Zheng.

"Is there anything else to add?" Mr. Zheng asked, "I remember that you led someone to touch the rear of the foreign devils."

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking about the meaning of Master Zheng's words, and suddenly thought of the surprise soldier crossing Chishui four times, his eyes lit up: "There is still a route to break through, let's go back the same way!"

"The foreign devils must never have imagined that we just crossed the north of the Han River, and we will cross the river again!"

"If I were the enemy's commander, based on the current situation of the [-]th Division, the two positions of Jiguan Mountain and Jiuchundai Mountain are particularly important. Therefore, I will concentrate my forces to attack and occupy these two positions. Three possible detour routes can be blocked, and at least half of the defense area of ​​the [-]th Division will fall. Therefore, the current focus of the US military may be on these two positions. If we do the opposite and cross the river again, Maybe the enemy may not be able to predict it."

There was silence in the division headquarters. Deputy Commander Duan, Chief of Staff Wang, and Director Wu repeatedly looked at the current situation on the map, and there was a trace of calm in their dignified expressions.

Director Wu even clapped his hands and said excitedly: "This is a good idea. The enemy probably never dreamed of it. We will do the opposite and cross the Han River again. The US military will cross the river in a big way and wait for their heavy artillery."

A smile appeared on Master Zheng's face, and he continued: "Tell me about what you observed behind the US military."

Xia Yuan said: "In order to encircle and suppress us, the U.S. military has concentrated their heavy troops near us, which has led to the emptiness of their rear forces. There will be no more than one company of U.S. troops in a position. Don't look at our current situation. The U.S. military The current situation is not very good, after fighting for so long, the progress is slow, and their morale is in a low state, as long as they break through to their rear, for us, the sky is high."

"This is a way. We can ask the commander for instructions and what his opinion is."

Master Zheng called the confidential secretary, and immediately drew up a telegram, ordering the telegraph operator, Comrade Xiao Yi, to send it to the military headquarters.

"During the transmission of the telegram, we need to carefully discuss the route. The enemy's rear is also very dangerous. We must be fully prepared. The wounded and the agency staff should be sent to Mapingli first, otherwise, a large number of wounded will affect us. marching speed."

Master Zheng considered quite comprehensively: "The route to break through, the route to cross the river, and after retreating to the rear, our retreat route, all of these must be prepared."

There was a hint of joy on Xia Yuan's face, Mr. Zheng and the others accepted the suggestion.

When the [-]th Division is surrounded by enemies on all sides, doing the opposite is a way of attacking by surprise. It is estimated that the enemy will not think that the direction of the [-]th Division's breakthrough is not Jiguan Mountain or the retreating cave. It's the south bank of the Han River.

"After the enemy's baggage crosses the river, everything will be safe."

Xia Yuan thought to himself.

It takes time for the various heavy artillery of the US military to cross the river. When the heavy artillery of the US military crosses the river and bombards the volunteer positions with full confidence, that time is the best time to cross the river.

Since the telegram has just been sent out, whether this plan can be approved by the military is still unknown, so the current focus is to figure out the enemy's military deployment on the north bank of the Han River. The [-]th regiment knows this situation best. They are in charge of us As the butt of the army, he has a good understanding of the enemy's strength.

Master Zheng immediately sent a young comrade to the regiment headquarters of the [-]th Regiment to find the head of the [-]th Regiment and ask him to send someone to find out the situation of the enemy's troops chasing the enemy and the deployment of the enemy's troops at various crossings of the Han River.

Only by understanding all these things can they plan their next steps.

Xia Yuan applied for him to investigate the enemy's situation.

With night vision and eagle eyes, no one is more suitable than him, but the teacher disagrees, his leg is injured, how can he continue to act, Xia Yuan can only worry secretly, only he knows how many catties A few taels, it's really not suitable to stay in the command post, look at the map and command the war.

Xia Yuan understood the teacher's good intentions and wanted him to stay in the division headquarters and learn more from the deputy teacher.

"It would be great if the system could endow itself with commanding skills."

Command is an ethereal term. Unlike medical treatment and painting, command does not have a specific occupation, and cannot produce specific skills through its own behavior, unless it can be drawn by lottery.

Xia Yuan couldn't stay idle, so he could only go to grind with the teacher slowly.

Just when the division was tense.

Various troops, the tragic battle is still going on.

At about [-]:[-] noon, a north wind suddenly blew up on an unnamed high ground in the Shangfangdong position, the temperature dropped suddenly, the smoke was filled with dust, and the cold eroded every volunteer soldier on the position .

Some soldiers of the machine gun company of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]th Regiment were stationed on the unnamed high ground.

There were twelve comrades from the original mortar squad on this high ground. They had three 60mm mortars, but now two of them have been completely broken, and the parts are scattered everywhere. It was already broken, and there was a huge crater not far from the ammunition box, with a diameter of five meters.

Wang Huzi and three other soldiers were carrying people out from the bomb crater. They were soldiers from the volunteer army. They were bloody and bloody from the shells, and their bones were exposed. No complete body was ever found.

Wang Huzi's eyes were bloodshot and his lips were chapped. When he moved his mouth a little, blood would flow out from the corner of his mouth. His beard was longer than before, and some of them were curly.His physical strength is the best among the four, and he carried out three of them in one breath, and carried out the rest.

There is no time to bury them now, and there may be a war at any time. After the comrades' bodies are lifted out, they are placed side by side in a row.

Wang Huzi was the first to sit on the ground, wiped the sticky blood on his palms on the ground, and exhaled slightly. He wanted to rest for a while, he was too tired.He looked at the twelve comrades who had died, some of them had been blown out of shape, they were mutilated, it was miserable.Some are barely intact.

Wang Huzi felt very uncomfortable. He looked at a few comrades who were dying with distress, and gently closed their eyes with his hands.

At this time, the instructor Yang Nanzhen came over. Seeing Yang Nanzhen, Wang Huzi immediately stood up and asked, "Instructor, are you looking for me?"

Yang Nanzhen asked simply and clearly: "Wang Huzi, were you present when this group of comrades died?"

Wang Huzi said: "Ah, an hour ago, the enemy swarmed forward. Lao Wu and the others were using mortars to suppress firepower. Unexpectedly, the enemy found out soon and fired more than ten cannons in one go. At that time, I told Lao Wu and the others that they should call separately, but he didn't listen."

Wang Beard is a bit of himself, maybe he should stick to it, so that they won't be targeted by the enemy.

Yang Nanzhen sighed: "You are right to remind me of this matter, and you are not responsible. At that time, there were only three 60-guns left in our machine gun company. After repeated research with Lao Wu, I found out that only in this place The only way to shoot on the high ground is to use the angle of elevation to the maximum. I also said at the time, don’t do it like this, it’s too dangerous. However, they saw that we were only going to be bombed in the position, so they went up like this gone."

Looking at the corpses of his comrades lined up on the ground, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

The 12 members of the mortar squad paid the price of their own lives for the short-term suppression of firepower for the forward position. This price is undoubtedly heavy, but it also reversed the situation. They fought back and repelled the enemy in one go. .

Yang Nanzhen squatted down, pointed to the 60 mortar, and asked, "Wang Huzi, can this still be used?"

Wang Huzi looked at it and said: "Instructor, those two doors must be broken. They were all blown to pieces. This one can be shot without a bracket, but it doesn't have a sight, but I can shoot it for you."

Yang Nanzhen glanced at him, and said suspiciously: "You are a machine gunner, and you can play with cannons?"

Wang Huzi was a little proud, and said: "That's right, instructor, Lao Wu and the others taught me before, it's no problem, just look at it."

Yang Nanzhen stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, the enemy will come up in a while, give me a hard fight in a crowded place, sacrifice a precious soldier like Lao Tzu, let them vomit some blood!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission! I will definitely make the enemy vomit blood!"

Hearing this, Wang Huzi stood at attention and solemnly assured Yang Nanzhen that he put down his hands. He ran to the ammunition box again, turned it over, thought about it, and said, "Instructor, there are only seventeen left." The shells are fired."

"Seventeen rounds will be seventeen rounds. After the shells are finished, take a light machine gun and quickly move towards me to fight against me. We can't let the foreign devils just knock down our position like this."

Yang Nanzhen hoped to see that Wang Huzi's lips were so chapped, and his voice was much hoarse than before, so he handed his marching water bottle to Wang Huzi, listening to the voice, there was still a lot of water in it: "Drink some water."

Wang Huzi instinctively picked up the kettle, and was about to unscrew it to pour it into his mouth. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he twisted the kettle again and stuffed it into Yang Nanzhen's arms.

"Instructor, I'm not thirsty."

"Wang Beard, I order you to drink!"

Yang Nanzhen was a little angry and shouted sternly.

Wang Huzi just didn't drink, turned around and gathered the shells.

Yesterday, four comrades went out to find water with a few empty kettles. There was no water nearby. The four ventured into the fighting area between the two sides. There, they found a small stream, which was discovered by enemy patrols. After a fierce battle, only two people came back. The other two comrades led the enemy to another direction with their rifles. Because they were outnumbered, they all died in the end.

No one drank the two jugs of water they brought back. They were bought by the two soldiers with their own lives, and they were extremely heavy.Everyone hasn't touched a drop of water for nearly two days, but they still don't want to drink water. When Wang Huzi just took the kettle, he felt that it was like the blood of the two comrades in it. The feeling was really uncomfortable.

They managed to survive until now, but sacrificed for two jugs of water.

Several soldiers next to them heard their conversation, some sobbed softly, and some squatted on the ground silently, staring blankly at the ground.

Two lives were exchanged for two jugs of water. Everyone felt uncomfortable and sad.

Wang Huzi refused to drink, Yang Nanzhen calmly put away the kettle, looked at his watch again, and thought to himself: Time is running out, the enemy is coming up soon, looking around, after such a long time of fighting, There were only fourteen people left in their company, and even though they were bitter in their hearts, they could only swallow it in their stomachs and shouted:
"All gather, study it, and go to battle immediately!"

The order to drink water was refused, and when the order to fight came, everyone stood up and came together.

Yang Nanzhen picked up a branch on the ground, drew it on the ground, and said: "Wang Huzi, you will be in charge of this place later, and we will all go to the front to fight. Now there is only a big turntable left. I have just put the weight on it." Dismantled the machine gun and buried it. After Wang Huzi finished firing the shells, go to the west. Xiao Zhang, you carry the big turntable and go to the east. Let us lure the enemy. The closer you are to the front, the easier it is to fire. You two just cross to block and shoot, understand?"

"Understood!"

Yang Nanzhen looked at everyone's emotions again.

Although everyone is very tired, but after the task is issued, they are refreshed again. This is their soldier, just like a spring.
