The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 877 Stationed at Songgu Peak

Fan Tianen and his team had just arrived in the northeastern area of ​​Fengmingli. When they got off the hillside, they met the chief of the division's reconnaissance section.

Fan Tianen's appearance made him extremely happy. He quickly held Fan Tianen's hand and said happily: "You have come at the right time. You are really a heavenly general who fell from the sky. Go and find the division commander to accept the mission." ”

When Fan Tianen heard that there was a battle, he was so happy that most of his fatigue disappeared. He hurried to see his teacher and asked impatiently: "Sir, where do you want us to fight?"

The battle in the direction of Fengmingli is not over yet. The cannons are rumbling and the gunshots are deafening. The soldiers of the 335th Regiment are hiding in a ravine to rest. The continuous rapid march can make everyone very tired. Some soldiers fall down. Unable to get up, some soldiers had blood blisters on their feet.

Listening to the sound of gunfire, everyone was looking forward to and thinking about when they could kill them.

At the division headquarters, Yang Dayi was briefly introducing the current situation to Fan Tianen, "You guys take out a battalion to occupy Fengmingli."

Yang Dayi pondered for a moment, "No, you are not needed in Fengmingli. Your regiment will penetrate southward in Fengmingli tonight and cut off the enemy's retreat. If the 3rd, 3rd and 4th regiments capture Fengmingli, the enemy may flee south. Your mission is not to Let an enemy pass!"

"Yes! Please rest assured, chief, and promise not to let go of an enemy!"

The soldiers had not rested long before they heard the news of departure.

The 335th Regiment followed the division's instructions and prepared to penetrate south of Fengmingli. As soon as the team set off, without even leaving the forest, the sound of bugles was heard amidst the sound of gunfire.

The bugler heard the meaning of the trumpet sound and ran over immediately: "Regiment commander, the division commander orders you to go to the division command post immediately, and be fast!"

Fan Tianen listened carefully and found that it was indeed the key signature.

He ordered the troops to rest where they were and immediately rushed to the division headquarters. Yang Dayi was already waiting in front of the division headquarters. When he saw him coming, he handed him an orientation map: "The situation has changed. The enemy may escape through Shutang Station. Your regiment will be direct." Insert the Pine Bone Peak and intercept the enemy there!"

Pine Bone Peak!
Fan Tianen remembered his name and said goodbye to Yang Dayi. On the way back to the army, he opened the map to find the location of Songgu Peak.

It was an old map, but it was not found. Fortunately, in the previous annihilation battle, one of the enemies was eliminated and a local military map was seized. Although it was marked with strange words, after careful search by a translator, it was found on the west side of Shutang Station. to Songgu Peak.

There is a village called Jinguli on the road there, and there are railways and roads running parallel to each other in the valley.

If you want to go to Songgu Peak, you need to pass through Fengmingli, and then Longyuanli. Fan Tianen didn't think so much, and after finding the location of Songgu Peak on the map, he set off with his team.

The night was hazy and gunshots were deafening all around. In order to ensure the safe retreat of the troops, the US military used artillery fire to form three "fire walls", which were three kilometers wide. It was very difficult for the troops to penetrate.

Looking at the rumbling artillery fire, and the entire three-kilometer width was filled with smoke, Fan Tianen made a prompt decision and ordered the troops to advance by a small road.

According to the azimuth on the live map of the regiment, Wang Chunxi led the team to avoid the enemy's firewall and take the mountain road, and finally passed the hot cargo blockade and entered the enemy's artillery position.

Deafening roars continued to sound in the enemy's artillery positions, and continuous vibrations spread from the ground beneath their feet in wave after wave.

The enemy was still firing wildly, completely unaware that they had passed through the artillery blockade.

Fan Tianen ordered the third battalion to blow up the enemy's artillery positions. When he surrounded and annihilated the enemy's first unit, the third battalion was overwhelmed. This time, he finally received the task. The three companies attacked the enemy's artillery positions from three directions. The attack was launched and the remaining units continued to advance.

Not long after, fierce fighting came from the enemy's artillery position, and soon there was no movement.

The enemy's artillery position was successfully captured by the third battalion.

The 1st and 2nd Battalions came to the south of Feihu Mountain where they had fought for a week, and deployed their troops on a hill near Shutang Station. They had retreated thirty kilometers from here, but they couldn't figure out why they had to retreat so far. Now they finally returned to the south of Feihu Mountain again.

Seeing that the enemy lost Tokugawa, the puppet Second Army was annihilated, and now the surrounded U.S. Army was facing annihilation, I deeply felt the wisdom, courage, and foresight of Shiji and the rear.

The troops temporarily rested south of Feihu Mountain. Before dawn, Fan Tianen took Wang Chunxi to survey the surrounding terrain. When passing through a north-south valley, Fan Tianen recognized that this was the north-south valley marked on the map where railways and highways ran parallel.

The valley is less than 1 kilometer wide, with a north-south stream running down the east slope.

Songgu Peak can be clearly seen here. Fan Tianen was worried that the following division command post would encounter a breakout enemy on the road, so he decided to stay in the east of the valley and the team deployed on a hill near Shutang Station. Open, and ordered the first battalion commander Feng Yuxiang to lead the team through the north and south valleys to seize Songgu Peak. He explained carefully:

"If the enemy has occupied it first, we must resolutely capture it and hold on until dark. If it has been occupied by brother troops, we can evacuate and hide on the east side and wait for orders to take action after dusk. If there is no one in the empty mountain, your battalion must prepare to hold on."

Feng Yuxiang asked: "What if the battle starts?"

Fan Tianen said: "The whole group is moving closer to you, don't worry."

He turned around and said to Staff Song next to him: "Take Wang Lun and go with the first battalion. After the first battalion is settled, come back and report."

"Yes!"

Before dawn that day, Feng Yuxiang, Staff Officer Song and signalman Wang Lun came to the first battalion. The first battalion was deployed on a small hill. Three companies held three hills, all of which were inconspicuous.

Feng Yuxiang immediately asked the correspondent to summon the company commanders to come to a meeting and briefly explain to everyone the current situation everyone is facing.

"The geographical location of Songgu Peak is of vital importance. It is an important traffic artery for the enemy's retreat. Through here, the enemy can advance southward in a large scale, while our army's defenders in the direction of Sansuoli and Longyuanli are only one Division, the troops in the rear are still mobilizing. We need to buy more time for the troops in the rear to relieve the pressure on the defenders of Longyuanli and Sansuoli. "

The third company commander said: "Batalion commander, please give the most difficult task to our third company!"

Since the end of the battle at Longhu Mountain, their third company has become the ace company of the first battalion. However, in the following few battles, the third company has not exerted its strong combat power. Although they have completed the battles large and small, they have been outstanding, but in the heart of Captain Sun Not satisfied.

The Third Company was born in the front line of fire. It has experienced the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War. It has fought many outstanding battles, but it has rarely fought a true victory, not even a few.

Company Commander Sun took the initiative to ask for help, hoping that the battalion commander would leave the most arduous task to the Third Company, and also allow the Third Company to make a great contribution in North Korea.

The third company is now a strengthened company. Each platoon has a mortar, a grenade launcher, and a bazooka. Each squad is equipped with submachine guns and light machine guns with sufficient ammunition, which is very suitable for fighting tough battles.

Feng Yuxiang said: "You don't need to tell me, you three companies can't escape this time!"

In the third company defense zone, each platoon has been dispersedly arranged on the position. In the fourth row position, each squad has occupied another position.

Xia Yuanyuan sat in the trench, holding the frozen can with his hands. He held it for a long time, but he still couldn't take it off: "Xiao Heping, bring over the bayonet."

"Platoon leader, when do you think we can win a big victory?" Xiao Heping handed the bayonet to Xia Yuan and asked.

"A big victory, we can win a big victory this time. I didn't hear what the battalion commander said. Now the entire front has begun to fight back against the enemy. These American devils can't escape." Xia Yuan took off a piece and handed it to Xiao Heping: "Put it in your mouth Contained in it.”

"Oh."

"As for Zhou Mao, go ask Zhao Xiaoyi to come over and have something to eat. I guess we have to move forward."

As soon as the team excavated the bunker and had a meal, Captain Sun ran to Lianzhi without stopping and asked the correspondent to notify the platoons to assemble.

Everyone didn't even have time to eat the cans. After gathering, Xia Yuan took them to the company headquarters. Company Commander Sun looked at the four platoons gathered together. The cold wind was blowing on everyone, making it chilly.

"Let's go!" Captain Sun didn't say much.

They came down the mountain, and the first company and the second company had also come down from the mountain. They gathered at the foot of the mountain, and the team formed a long line, crossing towards Songgu Peak.

The wild road in the mountains is covered with snow. It is sparsely populated and there is no human habitation at all. The road is rugged and difficult to travel. If you are not careful, you will miss the mark and fall to the ground.

Xiao Heping grabbed the snow on the rocks and stuffed it into the marching kettle: "It looks so desolate here."

Zhou Mao said: "The more desolate it is, the safer it is."

Xia Yuan reminded everyone: "Be careful, don't miss the mark."

The team soon arrived at Songgu Peak and found that it had been occupied by the First Division of the 114th Division. Feng Yuxiang followed the regiment leader's instructions in advance and took the troops to the east to rest.

After Staff Officer Song and Scout Wang Lun confirmed that the first battalion had arrived at Songgu Peak safely, they prepared to return to the regiment headquarters.

When the two of them were passing by the highway, they heard someone moving and talking. They immediately took cover and listened nervously. The person chattering was not Korean, but it was clearly the US military.

"We can't go back to the regiment headquarters. We have to tell the first battalion commander about the enemy's appearance."

"go!"

Staff Officer Song took Wang Lun back the same way. In order to arrive before the enemy, they ran all the way. During the rush, Staff Officer Song accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the ravine.

"chief of staff!"

Wang Lun was shocked.

"Leave me alone, bring the information first and let the first battalion commander make preparations. I'll be fine for the time being." Staff Song covered his arms and gritted his teeth.

"Yes!"

Wang Lun ran wildly and ran all the way to the headquarters where the first battalion was being established. He panted and said, "Yes, there are enemies coming south!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuxiang immediately ordered the Third Company to seize the unknown high ground to the north of Shutang Station.

The battalion correspondent arrived at the Third Company, which was taking a short rest, and immediately handed over the task to Captain Sun. Captain Sun immediately found Xia Yuan and asked him to serve as the vanguard of the fourth platoon and quickly set off to the unknown high ground.

"Hurry, hurry, gather, it's time for the mission!"

Xia Yuan quickly ran to the fourth row and set off immediately after gathering.

The leading soldiers occupied the commanding heights one step ahead of the enemy.

At 6:30, this group of enemies was approaching the position along the road. The four platoons had already reached the high ground. They saw this group of enemies from a distance. They did not bother to build fortifications. Xia Yuan ordered everyone to find bunkers nearby, and the machine gun team dug rudimentary bunkers. Bunker fortifications.

When the enemy's advance troops arrived in front of them, Xia Yuan pulled the trigger, killing the driver of a vehicle in front of them, and the truck plunged into the wilderness.

Four rows of soldiers picked up grenades and threw them at the enemy with all their strength. With bursts of roar, several enemy cars were hit and smoke billowed.

It didn't take long before they were wiped out.

After the battle, Xia Yuan immediately informed each squad to disperse, occupy favorable terrain, and dig bunkers.

Just as the order was issued, Zhao Xiaoyi ran over: "Platoon leader, the enemy is here again!"

Xia Yuan was surprised by the enemy's speed, and realized that time was running out. He raised his head and looked around, turning on his eagle eyes. He saw two enemy trucks, followed by three tanks.

"Squad leader, lead your men to the road and blow up the enemy's tanks first!"

"Yes!"

"Others, seize the time to dig bunkers and move quickly!"

Time was running out, and they had to seize the time to dig bunkers and fortifications. The enemies they destroyed were obviously the enemy's advance team. Usually, the advance team opened the way, followed by the enemy's main force.

He looked at the time and stared at the battle of the first squadron. Their battle ended quickly. The two enemy tanks were bombarded by recoilless guns and lay motionless on the road. Thick smoke billowed out. The battle is basically over.

Later, the first, second, and third platoons of the third company also climbed up Songgu Peak from the back mountain, which is actually an unnamed highland on the north side of Shutang Station, next to Songgu Peak, and also belongs to Songgu Peak.

The four platoons were scattered on the large and small hills on the unknown highland, occupying favorable terrain and digging bunkers and fortifications.

After wiping out the enemy's advance team, the first squad cleared the battlefield and quickly dug bunkers after returning.

The fortifications had not been much built before daybreak.

Then they heard the roar of motors approaching from far away. The soldiers stood up and looked out, and saw a large number of American troops coming in force. It was a long black dragon, spreading from one end of the road to the other, disappearing into the road. of the turning point.

This U.S. Army was the 2nd U.S. Division that was severely beaten by the 40th Army in Junyu-ri. It retreated from the direction of Junyu-ri and prepared to go south to escape the encirclement of the Volunteer Army.

After several days of long march, the comrades of the Third Company had just arrived at the battlefield. Before they had time to take a breath, they saw a long line of enemies, including tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and artillery. They were not afraid at all and encouraged each other. , cheer up.

Xia Yuan looked coldly and quickly arranged combat tasks.

The previous battles were all small fights, and Li Puppet Army was nothing.

But now, it's really a bad fight.

This is a US military division with luxurious weapons and equipment, and can call in air force reinforcements anytime and anywhere.

"Notice down and get ready to fight. The enemy is coming fiercely. We can't let them pass here. We have to block them in Songgu Peak!"

Xia Yuan ordered Zhao Xiaoyi.

Zhao Xiaoyi ran down quickly.

He turned to look at Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao again. Seeing that the two looked nervous, he said with a smile: "There is no difference between the US military and Li's puppet army. They are both human beings. Can they still grow wings? Just treat it as beating Li's puppet army." ”

It was also the first time for the two of them to see an enemy on such a large scale.

In the past fighting at Feihu Mountain, although there were one or two enemy regiments in the front, the pitch pine was dense and the enemy could not be seen. Moreover, Feihu Mountain was at a high altitude and the enemy had to climb the mountain to attack.

Moreover, when the most enemies are attacked, there are only one or two companies with a strength of two to three hundred, which is nothing.
