The heavens start from Changjin Lake

"It's not completely dark yet. Let's wait until it gets completely dark before we take action."

The enemy does not move at night, this is the enemy's rule.

Since the volunteers entered the DPRK, marches and battles have been carried out at night, and at night, it can also provide a layer of protection for the soldiers and make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

After several consecutive battles, the enemy was defeated. After these few encounters, the enemy was able to figure out the way of the volunteers.

The weapons and equipment are not good, but the ability to fight at night is very strong. Their soldiers are not like humans, they are not afraid of death, their will and combat ability are very terrifying.

This period was the peak of the Chinese military.

The enemy is not stupid either. Once night comes, they will huddle in their garrison and have no choice but to come out.

But the more they behave like this, the more opportunities they give Xia Yuan.

While waiting for darkness to fall, the enemy launched another attack on the main peak.

At the regiment headquarters, Fan Tianen has just received a document from his superiors, which is about enemy mobilization.

The document records that the enemy dispatched another regiment from the rear and headed for Feihu Mountain. They were discovered by soldiers responsible for reconnaissance along the way and immediately brought the news back to the division. The division immediately informed Fan Tianen of the information.

Fan Tianen frowned after receiving the news. Once this enemy force merges with the enemy in front of them, the enemy in front of them will increase to the strength of three regiments.

The Eighth Regiment, which is currently in charge of the attack, still serves as the Third Regiment in reserve at the rear.

This third regiment can replace the eighth regiment at any time, and engage in wheel-to-wheel battles with the 335th regiment that defends Feihu Mountain.

Fan Tianen stared at the documents and had a premonition that there would be a fierce battle tomorrow. It was at this critical time that they ran out of ammunition and food.

How to stabilize the morale of the military and hold the position? Fan Tianen felt that at this critical moment, a commander's determination determines the morale of the entire regiment.

With these days of fighting, Fan Tianen discovered that the enemy's offensive courage all relied on artillery support from the rear and air power to embolden them. He was also good at organizing infantry, artillery and air cooperation operations, but in close combat and night combat, they But he is as timid as a mouse and is afraid of three points of the volunteer army.

He had just interrogated a puppet prisoner who was captured on the forward position. Every time he counterattacked, the soldiers would find a way to capture the prisoner so that the commander could understand the situation.

This Li Puppet Army was wearing a coat that could not cover his body, and his elbows and knees were exposed to dusty cotton. His body was covered with dirt, and his face was covered with soot. He trembled and said:

"It's rare to see people like you who are not afraid of death. We were frightened by you and ran away a lot. It was the war supervisor who forced us to die."

This is the insurmountable weakness of the invaders. Using one's own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses is a specialty that Volunteer Army commanders must master. Volunteer Army soldiers can crush the enemy with a hundredfold courage.

Hold the position with the determination to "live and die with the position".

Fan Tianen carefully understood the disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves, made a comparison, and after careful study with the political commissar of the regiment, held a cadre meeting to carefully study how to hold the position tomorrow.

As for the thoughts about the seized supplies mentioned by the First Battalion Commander and the Third Company Commander, he had long forgotten. After all, a problem that even his superiors could not solve could not be solved by a young boy, even if this boy obtained some honor.

But none of these can change the direction of the war.

Fan Tianen cannot put his hope in an impossible thing. He must be fully prepared to fight the enemy tomorrow.

The political commissar of the regiment pointed out the importance of winning this battle: "Feihu Mountain is the only way for the enemy to go north, and it is an important transportation hub that cannot be bypassed. Guarding Feihu Mountain is equivalent to grabbing the enemy's neck." The longer we hold our position at Feihu Mountain, the more time we can mobilize in the rear."

Fan Tianen pointed out: "We must excavate the fortifications by surprise to avoid being killed by artillery fire. If we can save one person, we can repel several enemy attacks. The most important thing is to collect the weapons and ammunition abandoned by the enemy, even gun butts and stones. We must do this Be prepared to fight with the enemy and defeat the enemy with courage!”

Finally, he said categorically to everyone: "I can swear to you that the regiment command post will never take a step back!"

The eyes of the battalion commander and instructors all focused on Captain Fan, and they felt a strong belief from him.

Fan Tianen continued: "You call me to ask for bullets or grenades, just one. I understand your feelings very well."

His eyes were filled with eagerness, and he said forcefully: "I don't have bullets or grenades, but I have the determination to live and die with the position. When the day comes when the position is lost, I will lead the cadres of the regiment. Let’s rush to the position and live and die with the position!”

When the cadres heard this, they almost unanimously said: "Please rest assured, chief, we will never lose our position!"

At dusk that day, soldiers from all companies devoted themselves to the intense reinforcement of the fortifications, especially the soldiers of the fourth and fifth companies who stood firm on the main peak. They collected weapons and ammunition from the enemy's corpses, jumped out of the fortifications to move stones, sharpened bayonets, and carried out the casualties. The guns and bullets left by the comrades were distributed to each soldier.

Liang Renjiang, the machine gunner of the fifth company, picked up a bunch of machine gun bullets from the collapsed fortifications. He held it up happily to show off: "Ha, I guess I am the richest man in the whole company. Look what I picked up, a bunch of machine gun bullets. Ha ha ha ha!"

Correspondent Zhao Xiaoyi raised a grenade in dissatisfaction, "What are you talking about? Lao Cai is here!"

Deputy Company Commander Qi looked at the pile of stones in front of the fortification with a smile, then patted his gun, then patted his belly, and said: "Both are equal, both are bachelors!"

Everyone laughed.

At dusk, the enemy came up again. We had only cleared up a small part of the group, and the enemy's artillery shells came over.

"Quick, stop grinding and hide!"

Deputy Company Commander Qi shouted to the soldier sharpening his bayonet, and in a blink of an eye the enemy's artillery fire engulfed the soldier.

The enemy seemed to be making the final act of madness before dark, dispatching more than 80 aircraft at once, using hundreds of large and small cannons, and pouring thousands of shells and bombs on the main Feihu Mountain position.

In an instant, the golden Feihu Mountain, which was originally quiet at dusk, was swallowed up by vibrations and explosions, as well as the rising smoke. The mountain was more than ten kilometers long, with smoke billowing, branches and leaves flying, and the sky filled with smoke.

At this moment, Feihu Mountain is like a tamed beast, lying motionless between heaven and earth.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the locals rushed up like locusts. At this time, the seemingly tamed beast seemed to have awakened, and a group of warriors rushed out. Grenades blew up one piece, and machine gun bullets tilted like raindrops, followed by stones. , the rifle butt hit the enemy hard, the helmet was smashed, the brains burst out, and the bayonet dripped with bright red blood. During the melee, scout Yang Dexing single-handedly defeated more than 40 enemies. Lu Shengrong had his left arm broken and charged at the enemy. Youth League member Zhang Yu had his hands peeled off by cannonballs and asked Zhao Xiaoyi to leave him alone. He wanted to Stick to your position and live and die with it.

Deputy Company Commander Qi and two men repelled the attack of more than 300 enemies!
Knowing that the soldiers were out of bullets, the enemy retreated and hid more than thirty meters away from the position to rest. When they were about to rest, they rushed up again. All the soldiers of the fifth company vowed not to retreat and to coexist with the position.

The bayonet was bent and the stone was gone, so he clasped it with his fingers, bit it with his teeth, and hit his head hard. The sound of fighting continued from dusk to night and enveloped the mountains.

The position is still firmly in the hands of the 335th Regiment!

When the sky completely darkened, the mountains and fields fell into silence, leaving only one squad of soldiers on the third company position.

Each platoon started to set off according to its predetermined position.

Xia Yuan led a dozen people into the forest. They made hats from weeds and put them on their heads. They used soil to blacken their cheeks. Everything that could make a sound was removed and placed on the battlefield. Except for a gun and several Tie it up with a rope and make sure there is nothing else on you except for the clips and grenades that make no sound.

The bushes in the forest are not deep, and the autumn grass is withered and yellow. The enemy's camp is very quiet. In some places, there are lights and telephone lines. In some places, there are bonfires burning. The dancing flames are clearly visible. The enemy's camps are spread across the ravines, with barbed wire fences, There are many landmines buried nearby.

Wherever there is a way out, there are enemy sentries and hidden sentries, barbed wire fences, and a large number of landmines buried in uninhabited areas to prevent night attacks by volunteers.

The enemy also has a lot of machine gun fire points. There are six machine gun fire points aimed at open spaces and mountains. This can still be seen with the naked eye. Some of the machine gun fire points set up in the trenches almost blend in with the earth. If you don't pay close attention, It is hard to see that there are more machine gun fire points that are not easy to find than there are obvious machine gun fire points.

In the wilderness, there are still enemy reconnaissance troops stationed. From a distance, you can see tents stationed in the forest clearing. It seems that the enemy's defense is tight and airtight.

However, all the soldiers of the third company already know the enemy's situation very well. Even if it is harassment, the method Xia Yuan gave them is to avoid the enemy's vitality points and choose weak points for harassment. The weaker the place, the more likely it is that the enemy will fall. The bigger it is, the more confused the enemy will be.

Therefore, the places they chose to attack at night were the enemy's flanks and backs, but the geographical location of these places was not very good, and the soldiers needed to be very careful.

In addition to being careful, the most important point is that they are harassing, not actually attacking. In addition to choosing the enemy's weak points, their retreat route must also be good. They must avoid places with poor geographical location. In such a position, although the enemy's defense is not strong, it will also create an obstacle for the harassing team when they retreat.

It is not only necessary to select the enemy's weak points, but also to select the retreat route and the place with the best environment. This is a big challenge and difficulty for the soldiers responsible for reconnaissance.

But to Xia Yuan, these are nothing.

He has night vision and eagle eyes. Standing at the commanding heights, as long as he is careful, he can clearly observe the situation of the enemy's station. Two nights is enough.

In order to prepare, he had not rested for a long time, and the bags under his eyes were very heavy. However, the battle at Feihu Mountain had been going on for so long, everyone was very tired, and there were no troops to change defense with the 335 regiment. At this time, 33 The Fifth Regiment was not only tired of its personnel, but also its weapons and ammunition.

But their enemies have changed a wave, and their status is at its peak.

It can be said that the enemy is preparing to play a wheel battle with the volunteer defenders of Feihu Mountain.

A truckload of supplies is very critical.

Xia Yuan was not allowed to rest.

He led a squad of soldiers, using the camouflage of shrubs, to a cliff. This was the best entry point. The cliff had to be ten meters high. Xia Yuan had chosen this place earlier. It was the best entry point. There was only one enemy sentry post. At a glance, two puppet soldiers were smoking and chatting, looking very relaxed.

The location of their sentry post is very ideal. There is a cliff. It is impossible for the enemy to attack from here.

But unfortunately, they didn't expect Xia Yuan to choose this place.

When he entered the enemy's camp earlier, Xia Yuan had already prepared something to pass through the cliff, which was a rope obtained from the enemy's camp. The rope was coiled and placed in a pile of dead leaves under a crooked-neck pitch pine.

Everyone looked at the height of the cliff. It was too dark to see the bottom at a glance, and they felt a little scared.

But looking at the lights below the cliff, I felt a little relieved. At least the height of the cliff was not as high as I imagined.

Xia Yuan tied the rope to the tree trunk without any protection. He grabbed the rope with one hand and stepped on the edge of the cliff. He said to the others: "I will go down first, and you will go down later. Xiao Heping, Zhou Mao, you two How about it?"

Compared with others, the two people's combat abilities are not good. The only advantage is that they obey orders and follow Xia Yuan all the time, providing Xia Yuan with all kinds of help.

When fighting with the two of them, Xia Yuan never had to worry about ammunition.

Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao can always do things perfectly.

The two people's faces were a little pale at the moment. If this continues, there is no chance of an accident. When Xia Yuan asked them, they gritted their teeth and nodded vigorously: "Xia Yuan, don't worry, we can go down. ”

"Okay! Uncle Li, let them go down first later."

The person Xia Yuan spoke to was Li Delin, the deputy squad leader of the second platoon and third class. He was not young, in his thirties. It was appropriate to call him Uncle Li.

Uncle Li's combat ability is not small. When he held his position previously, he single-handedly challenged three puppet soldiers, and drove the enemies away with a bayonet in one hand.

Li Delin was the deputy team leader in this operation.

"it is good!"

Xia Yuan grabbed the rope and slowly let go. He stepped on the cliff wall with his feet. Then he quickly let go and his body descended rapidly. In less than twenty seconds, he landed steadily on the ground from the top of the cliff, looking warily into the distance. He stood at the sentry post, took a breath, and scanned the area.

Here, there are mines buried by the enemy.

However, the number of landmines is not large and not dense. It is obvious that the enemy buried the landmines where they should be buried, and a small number of landmines were buried in this area for prevention. (End of chapter)
