The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Xia Yuan didn't have much else in his hands, except for the guns, which he had lost a lot earlier, but still allowed the soldiers of the machine gun company to have a Thompson submachine gun and a semi-automatic rifle, and there were so many grenades that they couldn't fit them on their bodies.

The trucks are full of piles.

There is no problem in distributing some to the [-]th regiment.

The three of them discussed some details, and Commander Liu called the commanders of the sixth and seventh companies of the third battalion of the [-]th Regiment, and passed on the commander's order to them, "From now on, you are members of the independent battalion."

"Yes!"

The two have no objection.

Soldiers just obey orders and rarely question the orders given by their superiors.

"Where did this Independence Battalion come from?"

"I don't know. I heard from the soldiers that a particularly fierce fighting team appeared just now, with strong firepower. Our regiment fought the road that hadn't been beaten for a long time, and they beat it down just by meeting each other. It is estimated that the independent battalion that let us join is the team that suddenly appeared."

The two were very curious about the independent battalion that Tuan Zhang was talking about.

"Don't underestimate the commander of the independent battalion, our division commander is very optimistic about him." Commander Liu said.

The two were a little surprised.

The commander of the sixth company was called An Hengrun, and he asked curiously: "Regiment commander, why is this battalion commander favored by our division commander?"

Commander Liu said: "The foreign devils who just hit the road were led by the army. You should have seen the firepower, right?"

The seventh company commander's name is Qi Shan. He nodded in response and said, "I saw it on the mountain. The firepower is too fierce. At first I mistook it. I thought it was an American army. I didn't expect it to be ours."

After a pause, he asked again: "Commander, where did this independent battalion come from? Why haven't I heard that our division has an independent battalion in addition to the three infantry regiments?"

Not only Company Commander Qi was curious, but Company Commander An was also curious.

Commander Liu said: "Just now, the division commander personally appointed him. Don't underestimate them. Guess how many people there were in this troop at the beginning?"

"How many people have such strong firepower, and it's an independent battalion, so it must be a battalion-level size?" Company Commander An said after thinking about it.

"No, guess again." Head Liu shook his head.

"A regiment?" Company Commander Qi said.

"In addition to the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th regiments in our division, where did the fourth regiment come from? Let's guess at the least." Liu Tuanchang said.

"It's not a battalion, is it a company? Judging from their size, it should be a reinforced company."

During the break, Company Commander An took a long look at the soldiers of this unit. There was nothing they could do. Their equipment was very good. A submachine gun was nothing, and they carried a semi-automatic rifle on their backs. They had their own bullet pouches hanging on their bodies, as well as American-style bullet pouches. As for the American-style bullet pouches, each soldier had to wrap two of them.

It's a bit unbelievable.

His guess is also reasonable.

Seeing that Captain Liu didn't speak, Company Commander An knew that his guess was wrong. After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "It can't be a platoon. A platoon with more than [-] people, how is that possible."

Company Commander Qi also nodded.

"wrong."

"A platoon is not, is it a class, how is that possible?"

The two opened their eyes wide and said in disbelief.

"One squad is also wrong. This unit was originally one person, the company commander of their company. When he came out of the division headquarters, our division commander did not give him a single soldier. He touched the front line, led four people, held the position, wiped out many American troops, and then went all the way to save many laggards and soldiers who were separated from the main force. Gradually pull up such a team, maybe you can see old acquaintances from our regiment inside."

Commander Liu said with a smile, "I've asked. There are many fighters from our regiment in their machine gun company."

The disbelief on their faces grew stronger.

One person, without a single soldier, relied on rescuing those who fell behind to pull up such a powerful team.

Te Niang is incredible.

"Yes, I was shocked. When I heard this, I didn't believe it, but the truth is right in front of our eyes. This person is our teacher's famous fighting hero, Xia Yuan."

"Put me in his place, but you can't do what he does." Captain An opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but admire.

Xia Yuan and the others knew that he was indeed a famous battle hero of their division. This battle hero was a fierce man, even a legend. He seized supplies, even bombed the enemy's artillery positions, and led six people to raid the U.S. Army. Now he single-handedly pulls up such a powerful team.This combat hero only showed his combat effectiveness on the Korean battlefield. In domestic combat, they had never heard of such a man.

Along with Commander Liu, he saw the so-called independent battalion commander, the combat hero, Xia Yuan. The man in front of him had dark cheeks, with some burnt skin, and walked with a limp. The two of them looked at each other, only to find that one of his legs was fixed with a wooden stick.

"I narrowly escaped death from Mei 24, and my leg was broken, so I was propped up with wooden sticks, and I could barely walk."

Xia Yuan showed a smile on his face, and looked at Head Liu: "Head Liu, these two are An Hengrun and Qi Shan."

"Hello, battalion commander!"

The two greeted each other. When they first arrived, Captain Liu also explained to them that he should be more polite to this man. He is enough to win everyone's respect. Even Master Zheng was full of praise for him.

"Welcome to join the independent battalion. Warm welcome." Xia Yuan introduced the person behind him: "This is the instructor of our company, Yang Nanzhen."

"Hello, Head Liu." Yang Nanzhen greeted them.

"Hello, Instructor Yang."

After everyone greeted each other and got to know each other, Xia Yuan said, "Instructor Yang, after the establishment of the independent battalion, you will be the battalion staff officer of our battalion."

"Well, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task." Yang Nanzhen hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's okay for me to be an instructor, and a battalion staff officer. Forget it, I'm more suitable for leading troops to fight."

"Instructor Yang's thoughts are the same as mine at the beginning, but the machine gun company has become an independent battalion, and we can still lead troops to fight. Who said that battalion commanders and battalion chiefs of staff can't go to the front line, and they have to go when they should."

Xia Yuan took Commander Liu as an example: "Previously, Commander Liu, as the commander of the [-]th Regiment, personally led the troops to the front line. As battalion commanders, there is no such thing as whether we can do it."

Head Liu smiled and said: "Xia Yuan is right. There is no such thing as whether it is feasible or not. In the battle just now, the division commander went to the battlefield with a gun in person."

"Is the commander already on the battlefield?" Yang Nanzhen looked shocked.

"What's the matter, when you fight a little devil, who doesn't fight with a devil with a gun, as a division commander or an army commander, they all do this. When it's time to go up, you still don't hesitate, just fight with a devil with a gun." Xia Yuan said: "That's the deal."

Yang Nanzhen didn't say anything.

This is how the Independence Camp was established.

Considering that the strength of the Sixth Company and the Seventh Company was still insufficient, Xia Yuan drastically transformed the Independent Battalion into two reinforced companies. The first company was the machine gun company, and the second company was the reinforced company formed by the Sixth Company and the Seventh Company.

The artillery platoon became independent and formed a third company, the artillery company, equipped with twelve mortars, four bazookas, two recoilless guns, two heavy machine guns, and four light machine guns.Other weapons and equipment are equally distributed to the first company and the second company.

The strength of the independent battalion has grown to more than 400 people.

The other departments are still incomplete. They are still in war and are in the stage of transferring and breaking through. The establishment of each department is not under consideration for the time being.

In this breakout, the independent battalion served as the main attacking force.

"Master, try this."

Crossing the road and heading towards Yingfeng, the team pulled up a long queue in the dark night. Xia Yuan took the bottle of red wine, walked up to Mr. Zheng, and handed it to him.

"What is this? It looks so special." Mr. Zheng has never seen this thing before, and this is really the first time he has seen red wine.

"Red wine, a good thing for foreign devils, try it." Xia Yuan handed it to Mr. Zheng.

"Foreign wine, huh, old Duan likes to drink these the most, give him a taste." Mr. Zheng smiled, and said again: "By the way, the next battle will be up to your independent battalion to perform, and the [-]th Regiment will be your second echelon."

"Teacher, just take a look. I'll lead people to take down the foreign devil's position myself." Xia Yuan had already thought up a plan in his heart, and said cheerfully.

"Your legs are fine, don't be brave, these things should be left to the people under your command, as a commander, you have to issue orders according to the battlefield situation." Master Zheng said patiently.

"Mr. Zheng, it doesn't affect the action. It's uncomfortable to stay behind. I still prefer the front line." Xia Yuan said with a smile.Only when his individual combat effectiveness is placed on the battlefield can it play its greatest role.

Commander Liu ran up to Commander Zheng and said, "Master, I saw people from the Second Company of the [-]th Regiment on a small road just now. Commander Wang and the others should have stepped out of the encirclement circle."

Teacher Zheng said: "Why are there still troops in front, let's go and have a look, we must organize them."

Now that the various units of the [-]th Division have been dispersed, people from other units can always be seen in the process of advancing.

Head Liu nodded: "Good teacher, that should be the scattered troops that just broke out."

"Let's go and have a look together."

Teacher Zheng said to Xia Yuan.

Following Commander Liu, not far away, many troops were resting on the side of the road, some were already asleep, some were smoking half a cigarette, and the bandages on their heads had just been put on.When a platoon leader saw the division commander and others coming, he stood up and saluted.

Mr. Zheng first asked him: "Which department do you belong to?"

The platoon leader replied: "Reporting to the commander, I am in the third company of the first battalion of the [-]th regiment. My soldiers are really tired. They just rushed out of the encirclement. They are so tired. Let them rest. Now that they have rushed out of the encirclement, they will not be in danger for the time being, right?"

Master Zheng looked at these soldiers, and couldn't help feeling sour. He knew very well that these soldiers were definitely not people who were greedy for life and fear of death, and cowardly. Let alone fighting, even if they walked here without eating, Iron Man couldn't hold on.

This platoon leader also had a conversation with Master Zheng for the first time. He thought that the commander would definitely criticize them vigorously, but Master Zheng did not blame them. He gradually slowed down and said to the soldiers sitting on the ground: "Some of the people here know me, and some don't. The time is too short. I will briefly explain the situation to everyone. It is only the first encirclement at present, and we cannot stop now. This is too dangerous."

Hearing the voice, the soldiers raised their heads to look at this man. He was tall and tall, but because he hadn't eaten for a long time, his body became thinner, his eye sockets were sunken and dark, and his cheeks were visibly thinner.

"Teacher, it's the teacher."

"It's really the teacher!"

The tired soldiers supported the ground with their guns, and stood up staggeringly. The man in front of them was the soul and brain of the [-]th Division.

Master Zheng's thirsty throat was full of smoke, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reluctantly said loudly: "I must take you all out safely, now everyone will follow me and continue to move closer to Dutai Peak, where our reinforcements will respond."

"Master, I'm not tired anymore, let's go!"

Everyone shouted so resolutely, and joined the large army one after another, following the iron current, surging forward.

Obviously they are only flesh and blood, but they have built an indestructible wall with spiritual will. They are well-deserved heroes.

Xia Yuan recognized the platoon leader in front of him, the platoon leader of the [-]th Regiment, [-]st Battalion, [-]rd Company, [-]th Company, and Wang Hu. The two had crossed paths in China, but when they came to the Korean battlefield, they each carried out their own orders, so they rarely crossed paths.

Meeting old acquaintances here, Xia Yuan is still very emotional. As the battle continues, there are almost no old acquaintances to meet.

"Captain Xia." The platoon leader was very happy. He was so lucky to meet the people from the first battalion of the [-]th Regiment.Knowing that Xia Yuan has become the battalion commander of the independent battalion, I am really happy for him. In the past, Xia Yuan was the platoon leader of the first battalion, but he did not expect that after so long, he would become the battalion commander when he met again.

"Where's your company commander?" Xia Yuan asked him.

Talking about the battalion commander, the platoon leader showed a gloomy expression on his face: "Battling commander Xia, our company commander was killed by the enemy's machine gun during the breakout process."

Xia Yuan sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Keep going, don't stop, and escape with the belief of the company commander to break through."

"Well, Commander Xia, I will definitely break out with the belief of a company commander!"

Wang Hu's tone was very firm.

"There are only so few people left in your third company. Let's follow the independent battalion. We are still short of people."

The independent battalion is in its infancy. Even if the division commander added two companies to the independent battalion, it still lacks a lot of people. It is still a lot short of reaching the scale of the independent battalion.

"This..." Wang Hu hesitated a little.

"I approve." Mr. Zheng just came over and said.

"Yes!" Wang Hu responded without further hesitation. Whether he joins the independent battalion or not is not up to him alone. There is a battalion commander above him, and he needs the battalion commander's approval. However, the division commander's order is more direct than the battalion commander's order.

"Xia Yuan, come here, let's study it."

"Yes!"
