The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 887 Supreme Glory
Instructor Hu's sacrifice was a huge blow to Company Commander Sun. The two had known each other since the Anti-Japanese War.

Along the way and fighting in Korea, the two were almost inseparable. They were good partners at work and good friends in private.

"Company commander, Comrade Xing Yutang from the fourth platoon comes to see the instructor."

A soldier from the third platoon ran over and saw Captain Sun wiping the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, so he pretended not to notice.

Captain Sun stood up, squeezed his eyes, and said, "Where are the others?"

"On the ground."

"Go over and have a look."

"Company commander, where is the instructor?" Xing Yutang ran over and asked enthusiastically.

"He, he's gone to work. How is your platoon leader doing?"

Xing Yutang didn't know whether to tell the company commander about the platoon leader's injury, but when he thought about it, the company commander only injured his hand, nothing serious, so he said: "Fortunately, with the platoon leader here, the enemy can't attack at all." Come up."

This is true. The enemy rushed up to him several times, but Xia Yuan was able to repel him.

If it weren't for Xia Yuan's presence, their forward position would have been lost long ago.

"That's fine." Captain Sun nodded, "By the way, why are you looking for an instructor?"

Xing Yutang unbuttoned his clothes, took out a paper bag from his shirt pocket, opened it layer by layer, and finally revealed a piece of white paper with neat words written on it.

He handed the blank paper to Company Commander Sun, his face smeared with smoke rose up with red clouds, and he said shyly: "Company Commander, this is, this is the party application I wrote."

Captain Sun was stunned for a moment, looked at it carefully, and held Xing Yutang's hand excitedly.

This is an application to join the party, and it represents Xing Yutang’s passionate heart of dedicating himself to the party and the country.

"Okay, good boy." Captain Sun carefully rewrapped the white paper, "Application for party membership requires a show of hands by party members, but I personally agree. Good job."

Captain Sun straightened the brim of the hat of the little comrade caressingly. He felt how cute this little soldier was. At this moment, he was still thinking about their party and country.

While talking, a soldier shouted from the front: "The enemy is coming up!"

Captain Sun quickly held Xing Yutang's application for party membership in his arms, "When the battle is over, I will gather the party members and approve your application for party membership!"

"Thank you, company commander!"

Xing Yutang happily picked up the gun and ran towards the position.

Suddenly, the sky roared, and the enemy fighter jets dropped several napalm bombs, which hit the position with bang, bang, bang. In an instant, the bright red heat wave rolled up the black gasoline, covering the entire position in an instant. A gasoline bomb It exploded not far from Xing Yutang, and a ball of fire engulfed him instantly.

Xing Yutang cleverly rolled on the spot holding his gun, but the flames were napalm bombs and could not be extinguished. He stood up and shouted: "Company commander, take care! Long live New China!"

His voice was hoarse, but his back was sonorous as he rushed towards the enemy.

With flames floating behind him, he jumped out of the position. The enemies who had just rushed up saw a man covered in flames rushing toward them, and they were frightened and fled in all directions.

Xing Yutang stabbed two enemies down in a row, then hugged one enemy's neck tightly, bit the enemy's ear and rolled down the mountain. Using the flames on his body, he died with the enemies alive. The flames burned, and his life Rising in flames.

Company Commander Sun put his hand on the bulging application for party membership on his chest and gritted his teeth: "Hit me, hit me hard! Revenge for the little comrade!"

The enemy suffered defeats in the first and third row positions, and took turns to attack the second row position. Captain Sun noticed the enemy's intention, and immediately organized more than ten soldiers, including the seventh squad of the third row and the fourth machine gun squad, to get behind the enemy and flank the second row. enemy.

On the second platoon position, the deputy company commander was wounded three times, but still insisted on commanding the battle. The blood on his body soaked his cotton clothes. During the most violent wave of enemy fortifications, he handed over the command to a young soldier from the second platoon. Waiting until The enemy rushed to the position, raised their guns and fought with the enemy, and died heroically.

At this moment, the volunteer army in the Korean battlefield was closing in the encirclement. The enemy sensed that their fate was in danger, so they launched a more frenzied counterattack. They bombarded the third company's position with planes and artillery for 40 minutes, and then launched a group charge. The enemies, whose routes and numbers were indistinguishable, rushed towards the third company's position like a swarm of locusts.

Xia Yuan remained calm in the face of danger, calmly commanding the people around him to use the crater as a fortification, squatting inside, and suddenly fired at the enemy who crawled in front of him. The enemy collapsed and then rushed up again.

The enemy's desperate attack was like a last-ditch struggle. Xia Yuan had almost run out of bullets and was looking for a usable gun.

The enemy came fiercely, and he killed many of them, but there were still a large number of American soldiers rushing towards his position. Grenades exploded near him, and the shock wave spread in all directions.

After Xia Yuan threw away the last grenade on his body, he picked up his gun and prepared to fight the enemy with his life.

Zhou Mao was lying in the crater, holding two grenades in his arms, one for himself and one for the enemy. His body was bleeding, and the violent actions caused the scars on his body to expand and tear. More blood flowed.

Xiao Heping died. The enemy continued to bombard fiercely for more than 40 minutes. Few people could survive this fierce bombing. Unfortunately, Xiao Heping was hit by a stray bullet and disappeared in an instant.

The boy who gradually grew up and became a real warrior did not make it to the end.

The enemy came up, and Zhou Mao was ready to sacrifice. One of his legs was broken and he couldn't move, so he waited quietly.

He heard the fighting and explosions coming from above the position. It was the platoon leader. He was still resisting. This powerful and heroic warrior filled Zhou Mao with admiration.

The casualties of the third company were huge in the round after round of shelling. In the end, the orderlies and the company's communicators all participated in the battle.

When the platoon leader died, the squad leader took the initiative to take over. When the squad leader died, the soldiers took the initiative to take over.

Captain Sun ran out of bullets, picked up the bayonets of his comrades and rushed towards the enemy. A guy saw the opportunity and hugged his waist. He smashed the guy's head with a grenade. However, a bigger crisis came, six or seven The Americans surrounded him.

Sun Company Commander Lin Wei was not in a hurry. He swung the grenade in his hand and shouted: "Comrades, you must hold your position! Comrades, you must hold your position!"

There was an earth-shattering bang.

The surviving soldiers' eyes were splitting, "Revenge for the company commander!"

The soldiers jumped out of the crater and struck the enemy hard. When they ran out of bullets and grenades, they picked up the rocks on the ground, grabbed an American soldier, and smashed him in the face. After the stone was smashed, he would press his fingers into the opponent's eyes and bite off their ears with his teeth.

Party member Zhang Xuerong was seriously injured. He picked up four grenades left by the martyrs, rushed to the enemy group, and exchanged his own life for more enemy deaths.

Party member Comrade Yan Zuozheng's bayonet broke, so he struggled with the enemy and rolled down the mountainous area.

Comrade Gao Zhanwu, a member of the Youth League, was shot in the waist. With the fire in his body, he rushed towards the enemy and hugged the enemy tightly.

After the mortars were destroyed, the soldiers of the 60th artillery platoon rushed towards the dense enemy with the shells in their arms. The shells exploded in the enemy group. They used their lives to resist the enemy's attack.

Party member Hu Chuanjiu took off two grenades from the enemy's corpse and drove the enemy back.

The wounded comrades who were being bandaged got rid of the health workers and dragged their injured bodies and untied bandages into the battle.

Defeat the enemy attack again.

All the soldiers of the first platoon died gloriously. Only two people were left in the second platoon, only one person was left in the third platoon, and Xia Yuan and Zhou Mao were left in the fourth platoon, a health worker and a company correspondent.

There were only seven soldiers left in the entire position. After repelling the enemy's attack, Xia Yuan moved backwards with Zhou Mao on his back. He was not sure whether the enemy would attack next time, but he knew that if he continued to defend, he would die too. It was difficult for two people to hold their position when they were short of food and ammunition.

Finally defeating the enemy's attack, he heard a lot less gunfire on the position. Xia Yuan went to see how many people were left on the position.

Seeing that Xia Yuan was still alive, these soldiers wiped the corners of their eyes and told Xia Yuan about the sacrifices of instructor Hu, Company Commander Sun, 1st Platoon Leader Xu Guangtian, 2nd Platoon Leader Zhang Youde, 3rd Platoon Leader Zhou Dezheng and all the soldiers.

After hearing the news, Xia Yuan could not calm down for a long time.

I didn't expect that the battle would go to this extent. A reinforced company, with only seven people left in the end.

He stared at this inconspicuous hillside, with its gentle slope and bare surface positions, burying the entire Third Company.

Xia Yuan thought, this is not an impossible person.

A bare hillside with no altitude as an advantage. It is close to the road. The top of the mountain is only 200 meters away from the road. The slope is gentle. When we arrived, we encountered the enemy. There was no time to dig fortifications. The ground was blasted by enemy artillery for a whole day. , it is impossible to dig strong defenses at all, and can only rely on bomb craters as bunkers.

It is unimaginable that they withstood the enemy's attack of at least 2,000 people. Xia Yuan did not know the enemies who attacked other platoons and squad positions. He only knew that the third squad he was in faced an enemy attack of no less than 2,000 people, and several more. The threat of ten tanks, one of which drove up the hillside, fortunately their infantry was not very good.

The infantry is repulsed, and the tank without infantry will be left alone and helpless. In addition, the US tank soldiers are also more afraid of death, and few are willing to drive the tank and floss alone.

Therefore, as soon as the infantry withdrew, the enemy tanks saw that the situation was not right and retreated hastily.

The position was held, but the surviving soldiers were not very happy. Zhou Mao, who was being bandaged by the hygienist, suddenly burst into tears. Xia Yuan stepped forward and said, "The enemy's attack has not stopped yet. How can you shed tears and grit your teeth to feel the pain?" Hold it in your heart.”

Emotions are contagious, especially in these tragic times.

He understands Zhou Mao's mood and understands every soldier.

But now is not the time to cry. Whether the enemy's attack has stopped or not is still unknown.

"Hurry up, expand the bunker under you, and pick up usable weapons and ammunition. We must be ready to sacrifice at any time!"

The battle in the direction of Songgu Peak is not over.

The battles in Longyuanli and Sansuoli are still intense.

As the battle progressed, Comrade Liang called Yang Dayi and asked about the situation in the direction of Fengmingli, Shutang Station, and Songgu Peak.

Yang Dayi told the commander of the various units' interception of the enemy. Comrade Liang heard about it and said: "In order to reduce the pressure on the interception troops in the south, the 112th Division will organize forces to attack the enemy tonight. We cannot let them live in such peace."

"Yes!" Yang Dayi hung up the phone and immediately called the 335th Regiment, asking about the situation of the 335th Regiment and telling him that he would launch an attack against the enemy tonight and whether the battle could be ended before dawn.

Fan Tianen felt that he had no soldiers to use and was unsure.

Yang Dayi fell into silence.

All the troops of the 112th Division were dispatched, and he only had one guard company left in his hand. However, in order to support the 335th Regiment in the battle, he said: "I will send the guard company to support you!"

Before dusk, the 335th Regiment launched an attack. Various units of the 38th Army launched a fierce counterattack against the enemy. The enemy was in disarray. Under the cover of the aircraft, they fled in all directions, waving white towels in their hands. The soldiers also imitated the enemy's behavior above their heads. Wagging a white towel, he chased after her.

Even though the enemy's aircraft flew very low, it was difficult to break the enemy's siege. For a time, the extremely vicious U.S. Army was divided and surrounded by the 38th Army between Junyuli, Fengmingli, and Longyuanli. They suffered a shameful defeat. The fiasco.

After the battle, Yang Dayi and Li Zhongxin went to see the third company. They listened to the report from the first battalion commander to the regiment. The third company was alone at Songgu Peak to intercept the enemy. There were only seven people left in the entire strengthened company. The regiment headquarters All the comrades stood in silence, some even choked with tears.

When they came to the position held by the third company, they saw a scene they would never forget.

The front of the position was piled with U.S. military corpses and broken guns. Among them were the heroic comrades of the Third Company who could not be seen clearly. They hugged the enemy and died heroically. Some were holding on to the enemy's machine guns, and some were holding on to them. The grenade he held was covered in the brains of American soldiers.

The embers of the remains of some warriors were still burning, their bodies pressed against the corpses of their enemies, their teeth and nails digging deeply into their flesh.

Comrade Wei Wei wrote the famous newsletter "Who is the Loveliest Person" based on the facts he witnessed in Songgu Peak Three Company.

The Songgufeng Third Company was awarded the "Songgufeng Special Merit Company" after the war.

And this kind of honor was earned by the Third Company at the cost of tragic casualties.

The seven surviving soldiers, following the victory of the encirclement and interception, were arranged to rest in the rear. The battle from November 30 to December 1 was very fierce on the entire battlefield. The enemy and ourselves were intertwined, and there were gunshots everywhere. They are all battlefields.

The head of the 38th Army was deeply aware of the lack of troops. The division command post was often surrounded by heavy enemy troops, and melees broke out. The administrative agencies at all levels were organized into squads, and the personnel of the agencies took up arms and went into battle. Each unit was divided into battalions and acted independently. In combat, the sound of gunshots is an order and the fine style of fighting wherever there is an enemy is carried forward.

The enemy's organization has been completely broken up, and the entire battlefield has become a pot of gruel.
