The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 854 Chapter 834 Defense
During the task of luring the enemy in-depth, Wei Decai, chief of the reconnaissance section of the 112th Division, personally led the reconnaissance line to accept reconnaissance tasks in some forward positions and actively provided intelligence to the division.

After the enemy occupied Suifeng Mountain in the northwest of the courtyard, Wei Decai sent Yang Feng and a group to lurk in the caves of Suifeng Mountain. They put on headphones to observe the enemy's troop transport on the road down the mountain at any time, and finally captured two American prisoners. Provided important information to the division.

The scouts of other divisions are also extremely active, constantly going deep behind enemy lines, capturing prisoners, and providing information to the division, the army, and their superiors about the situation.

The Korean battlefield is different from the domestic battlefield. The geography and people are unfamiliar, and it is difficult to send people into the enemy's interior. Therefore, except for some information provided by the Korean people, we mainly rely on capturing prisoners to understand the enemy's situation.

During this period, the investigative hero Zhang Lanting captured more than 20 prisoners and made outstanding achievements in this regard.

In order to actively respond to the comprehensive investigation activities carried out by the military headquarters, Commander Fan of the 335th Regiment convened a meeting at the regiment headquarters. He had new ideas, but he didn't know if the 3rd Company had the time to implement them.

"Everyone has heard of the fourth platoon leader of the first battalion and third company. He is quite knowledgeable in combat capabilities. In the battle at Feihu Mountain, he single-handedly destroyed two to three hundred enemies. This is a conservative estimate."

The cadres of each battalion gathered together, listening to Commander Fan's words, and nodded deeply.

The second battalion commander said: "Let Lao Feng pick up the treasure."

The other cadres had more or less envy on their faces, for such a capable soldier fell into the first battalion.

Originally, the Second Battalion was the leading force of the 335th Regiment, but with Xia Yuan joining, the First Battalion became the leading force of the 335th Regiment, and the Third Company was the ace of the entire regiment, with unparalleled combat capabilities.

Feng Yuxiang laughed and was quite happy.

Fan Tianen said with a smile: "Xia Yuan's combat ability is strong, and his reconnaissance ability is not weak. In two nights, he got a very thorough picture of the enemy's station. According to the commander of the third company of the first battalion, he seemed to be the only one who went out to conduct reconnaissance at night. I went to touch it with two soldiers. Is this true? "

Feng Yuxiang nodded: "That's true. When I first thought of the night attack, the third company commander didn't know. It was Xia Yuan who took two soldiers from the cooking squad to figure out the enemy's situation, and it only took two nights."

Fan Tianen nodded and said: "Not only that, they had fallen behind before. Xia Yuan and Xiao Heping also visited the garrison of a US military division and seized a truck of supplies. According to the two people's account, during the operation, they eliminated They killed a U.S. military reconnaissance platoon, and this does not include the losses they caused to the U.S. military by blowing up the enemy’s ammunition depot.”

When everyone listened, they felt as if they were listening to a story, it was so unreal.

"It would be great if every soldier was as strong as Xia Yuan." The second battalion commander said with emotion.

Their warriors are not bad, but compared with Xia Yuan, they are far behind.

Judging from Xia Yuan's current combat capabilities, not to mention the entire army, even the entire Zhisi ranks first.

The bomb delivery is accurate, the throwing distance is long, and the marksmanship is accurate. It can easily kill the machine gunners in the enemy's machine gun bunker. It has strong reconnaissance capabilities and unique individual combat capabilities.

Each of these skills is incredible if placed on a soldier, but all the skills are gathered in one person.

To say that we are ranked first is not modest at all.

After hearing what the group leader said, many people understood the content of this meeting.

Recently, the superiors seem to be preparing for the second wave of offensive. This can be seen from the mobilization of the corps in the past few days and the activity of the scouts.

Moreover, the scouts were much more active this time than during the first battle, and they also suffered the losses of the first battle.

Although their superiors did not convey any instructions to them about the second battle, they were all veteran commanders and fighters who had been fighting for many years, and any disturbance in the army could make them guess something.

They didn't say anything and listened quietly to Captain Fan's speech.

"The regiment headquarters has been keeping track of the situation of the Third Company recently. The enemy attacked all day yesterday and was held down by the Third Company. They themselves did not suffer many casualties." Fan Tianen's eyes fell on the First Battalion Commander Feng Yuxiang and said : "Now the whole army is carrying out comprehensive reconnaissance activities. Our 335th Regiment has the mission of luring the enemy deep, so naturally it cannot be left behind. Xia Yuan's reconnaissance ability is also unparalleled in the army. I think that if we bring back the 3rd Company, Deploy a new company and let Xia Yuan concentrate on investigation. "

Xia Yuan's combat ability is strong, but every soldier's combat ability is not weak.

Only in terms of investigation capabilities, it is not a matter of strength, but of investigation efficiency.

According to the previous battle of Feihushan, if the scouts of the regiment headquarters wanted to survey the enemy's location so carefully, they would not be able to figure it out clearly every other week, and they might even have to survey more. Of course, sometimes it’s okay to scratch your tongue.

But tongue is a rare thing. You can’t catch it just by going out for a night.

Xia Yuan's combat ability is used in investigation, and combined with his powerful investigation ability, it may be possible to surprise them.

After thinking about it, this task of contacting the enemy can basically be accomplished by each battalion and company of their regiment. After all, they have been fighting in the country for many years and have never encountered any kind of situation.

Feng Yuxiang thought for a moment and agreed with the group leader's idea. The group leader must have thought more comprehensively about this kind of thing than they did.

Moreover, the Third Company, as the current ace company recognized by the regiment headquarters, is capable of performing some difficult blocking tasks. Both the First Company and the Second Company can do this kind of contact tasks well.

Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, Fan Tianen immediately issued an order to transfer the third company back and send the third battalion and the ninth company to maintain contact with the enemy. The two companies changed positions behind the Kowloon Station 834.

After the meeting, Fan Tianen called the front line. The front line's reconnaissance company received the order and quickly delivered it to the third company.

When Captain Sun received the order, he seemed a little incredulous, "We have only been in contact with the enemy for a day, are we about to start retreating?"

Instructor Hu said: "Old Sun, this is a task given by our superiors. Let's carry it out."

Captain Sun said: "Now our soldiers are thinking about fighting this battle well and carrying out the tasks assigned by our superiors. If we are asked to retreat now, the soldiers will be unhappy."

Instructor Hu said: "The leader must have his own thoughts when doing this."

Captain Sun sighed and had no choice but to go on and carry out the mission.

It's still dark.

The third company packed up their equipment, cleared the battlefield, and began to retreat to the rear under the cover of night.

"Where are we planning to retreat to?"

Xiao Heping carried two guns and looked at the quiet troops from left to right.

"Listen to the arrangements of your superiors." Zhou Mao looked at the dark mountains around him. They were setting up defenses on the mountains just now, but now they retreated.

He was prepared to fight for several days, but he didn't expect to retreat like this this time.

Company Commander Sun led the Third Company to handover with the Third Battalion's Ninth Company at Highland 834. The Third Company temporarily fortified themselves at Highland 834. The Ninth Company also went to the area where the Third Company had previously defended fortification the moment the Third Company received the order.

"Lao Hu, give some of our company's ammunition to the Ninth Company and the others."

The Third Company is now well-equipped and has no shortage of ammunition. There is no problem in supporting the Ninth Company with some ammunition.

The Third Company temporarily took root in Highland 834.

Behind Highland 834 is the th Regiment. At this moment, the th Regiment is still retreating towards the Qingchuan River, and plans to set up defenses along the Qingchuan River to block the attack.

After arriving at Highland 834, the Third Company quickly established a defensive front using the fortifications left by the Ninth Company.

Liu, the leader of the cooking team, has not returned yet, and the cooking team has not yet been established. As a result, the third company currently has no place to cook. After a brief discussion between Captain Sun and Instructor Hu, they asked the soldiers to cook on the battlefield and on the back of the mountain. In sunny places, there is still a lot of snow, and with a smokeless stove, you can make a fire and cook on the position.

After such a long battle, the Third Company finally had a chance to breathe. The next day.

There was a shimmering light in the sky, and there was no sun. The entire sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the temperature dropped even more sharply.

"The enemy is not attacking, but it's still a bit cold on the battlefield." Zhou Mao crossed his arms and sat on the ground, and the hot breath he exhaled turned into white mist.

The enemy attacked earlier and dropped a large number of bombs, artillery shells, and incendiary bombs, so that the position was so hot that there was no cold at all.

Now he calmed down and trembled with cold as he waited for the enemy.

Xiao Heping filled the stove with firewood and asked Zhou Mao to come over and roast it. Hot water was boiling in the pot. Zhou Mao leaned over and suddenly felt a lot warmer.

Xia Yuan took out a box of cans, opened them and took a look. The cans had been frozen, so he could only throw them into the pot with the cans in the box. After the boiled food melted, he took the cans out, sprinkled some noodles on them, and stirred them. .

Finally, Zhao Xiaoyi found some wild vegetables from the back mountain, threw them in, and a pot of salty paste was ready.

"You guys sit down first, I'll go check on each class."

Xia Yuan stood up and handed the stick to Zhao Xiaoyi.

"I'll go with you." Zhou Mao stood up and squeezed his cold-hardened palms.

"Let Xiao Heping come with me. You can warm yourself up by the fire. Your hands are frozen like this." Xia Yuan frowned and asked, "Where is your military coat?"

Zhou Mao said sheepishly: "Platoon commander, I gave it to the wounded. They need it more than we do."

Xia Yuan looked at his hand and said, "You, if you don't pay attention to keeping warm, what will you do if your hands get too cold and you can't pull the gun?"

Zhou Mao said: "Platoon leader, I will transport ammunition for you."

Xia Yuan had no choice but to take off his clothes and throw them to him: "Dress, this is my order. I will check every day from now on, and I will take care of the wounded."

"Yes!"

Zhou Mao didn't want to answer it, but after hearing the order, he had no choice but to put it on and immediately felt a lot warmer.

All classes were making fire to cook, and they were all happy to see Xia Yuan coming.

"Platoon commander, you are here."

Everyone in the group stood up when they saw Xia Yuan coming with Xiao Heping.

They were not as disrespectful as Xia Yuan at his young age. On the contrary, they were quite respectful towards Xia Yuan.

In the previous battles, Xia Yuan showed strong combat capabilities. The enemy attacked continuously for a whole day, but was unable to knock down their positions, and even failed to attack the forward positions.

This has a great relationship with Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan killed the enemy's walkie-talkie soldiers, machine gunners, field commanders and soldiers controlling bazookas. After each battle, they were able to seize one or two bazookas, a walkie-talkie, and two light bazookas. Machine guns, so much so that each squad in their platoon was equipped with a light machine gun.

There are even spare light machine guns.

Captain Sun also paid great attention to the fourth platoon, leaving three bazookas and three light machine guns for the fourth platoon, and turned in the remaining items.

In fact, the firepower configuration of the four platoons almost caught up with the basic firepower configuration of a company.

It's a pity that they didn't capture the enemy's heavy machine gun. If each squad had one, that guy would have been awesome that time.

"Look at your situation." Xia Yuan stepped forward and took a look at their meals. They were similar to what he ate. The conditions on the battlefield were limited. They just poured the food from the cans into the pot and got more wild vegetables.

If there is flour, pour some flour. If there is no flour, put more wild vegetables.

Cans contain a lot of salt, and the soldiers will have more strength to fight after eating them.

Xia Yuan then went to the second and third squads. Seeing that the soldiers were eating happily, he felt relieved and checked the defenses again.

There are two situations in the enemy's artillery attack. The first is a coordinated infantry and artillery barrage. The artillery fire extends forward along with the infantry's charge, clearing all obstacles on the offensive path for the attacking infantry.

If this is the case, the bomb shelter they dug in the rear is completely unnecessary. Once the enemy attacks, the artillery fire extends backwards, which will affect the time for them to enter the position, and even the enemy can easily enter the position without resistance. .

Of course, there is another possibility.

The position at the top of the mountain is narrow, and the enemy's artillery fire extends back and falls to the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, the enemy's artillery fire will carefully bombard the position on the top of the hill, inside and out, and then let the soldiers attack the top of the hill.

In this case, a bomb shelter can be built on the reverse slope, and then two traffic trenches can be dug to connect the bomb shelter on the reverse slope with the position. When enemy artillery fire comes, they will retreat to the rear and hide in the bomb shelter to avoid enemy artillery fire. , when the enemy's artillery fire ended, they passed the communication trench and entered the position.

This will reduce casualties.

In both cases, they are basically constructed according to the terrain conditions.

Xia Yuan carefully checked to ensure that there was no problem with their construction, and then he went back with confidence.

Three classes, stick to three hills.

They are on the reverse slope at the rear.

"It is estimated that the enemy will not be able to get here in a day or two." Xia Yuan drank salty glutinous rice and stared at the world shrouded in dark clouds. His vision was excellent. He looked into the distance. Black spots appeared on the sky. When he zoomed in, he saw that they were the U.S. military. s plane.

He could see the paint sprayed on the US military aircraft, the white five-pointed star printed on it, and the aircraft number.

The US military plane rumbled into the thick clouds and disappeared.

The Ninth Company went to block the enemy and maintained contact with the enemy. It was obvious that this was a mission to lure the enemy deeper.

He also experienced the Battle of Changjin Lake.

It is estimated that the second battle may be around the corner.

Put the enemy in first.

Divide, surround, intercept.

A set of combined massage punches is guaranteed to knock the enemy out of nowhere.
