The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 901 Discount Card

There are a large number of enemy cars on the road. If they are not intercepted, these enemies will run rampant and run along the road.

The third squad leader led his men down to less than half a kilometer from the road and found eleven cars parked on the road, about the size of a company.
He immediately sent a group of soldiers to blow up the lead vehicle, and he led the rest of his comrades to attack from the side. The soldiers in charge of intercepting the vehicles quickly got to the front and successfully blew up the enemy's lead vehicle with the captured grenades.

Afterwards, the third platoon engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy on the road.

Xia Yuanze led his men to clear out the remaining enemies on the mountains.

Fu Changshan arrived with his men, and Xia Yuan handed the cleanup task to Fu Changshan. He took the remaining soldiers to reinforce the third platoon.

At this moment, there were loud gunshots and flames shooting into the sky on the road, accompanied by bursts of explosions. The entire road was in chaos.

As Xia Yuan joined the battle, the enemy's weak resistance quickly collapsed. The enemy cars were in a panic, scrambling to seize the road to escape, but the first car that caught fire blocked the road. Only a jeep ran away with flames, and the other trucks crashed into the sides of the road and overturned.

Ten trucks loaded with supplies, more than a dozen recoilless guns and chemical mortars, and four captured American soldiers who were not killed all became the spoils of the Third Company.

"Hahaha, so many supplies, hurry up, restock them."

Xia Yuan asked everyone to replenish the ammunition they needed, especially grenades. The enemy's grenades were good things, much more powerful than theirs and full of lethality.

Fu Changshan rested on the mountain temporarily, and the second company took over their task and continued to attack forward.

The Third Company suffered heavy casualties, so the commander of the 17th Regiment of the th Division asked them to take a temporary break. They chased the enemy for hills in a row and even captured the enemy's main position.

The leader of the 340th Regiment gave them several boxes of canned food, and Xia Yuan asked everyone to share them to replenish their energy.

In the dark and cold night, the soldiers stamped their feet and ate from canned food.

Their cotton trousers were covered with frost and frozen stiff.

The enemy's car had not been completely burned yet, so everyone stood beside the car to warm themselves up.

The sound of gunfire rumbled in the distance, and the motherland rang the bell of 1951.

After the repair, Xia Yuan led the third company and continued to advance along the traces left by the second company. When passing a depression, he saw the enemy's camp tents and rushed in with his men. The people inside had already fled and did not even bother to clean up the tents. All kinds of things were scattered on the ground.

There were opened cans that were frozen hard, as well as some ammunition, supplies, and so on.

They had already restocked and set off in a hurry, carrying only some canned food.

The enemy is still fleeing, so they have to hurry and catch up with them.

During the advance, the third platoon leader was wounded by a stray bullet and had to retreat. Deputy platoon leader Zhang Tongshu took over his position and led the third platoon to continue the attack.

Under the leadership of Xia Yuan, they penetrated more than 20 kilometers into the enemy's belly. After dawn, he found that there were enemies everywhere. Due to the rapid movement of the third company, they also lost contact with their friendly brother troops and became an isolated army deep behind enemy lines.

The communicator ran over and said, "Captain, we didn't find any brother troops on the flank, but we found quite a few enemy troops."

At this moment, they were in a mountain area covered with snow. The gunshots around them became sparse and gradually died down.

At this time, the third company had suffered heavy casualties, and their ammunition had been used up all night. Xia Yuan made a calm decision and said to the platoon leaders, "Although we have lost contact with our brother troops, we cannot stop. We are surrounded by enemies, and they will become the nails on the brother troops' offensive path. We must do our best to eliminate these enemies."

"Captain, you decide how to fight, and we will follow your instructions."

"Yes, I want to kill more American devils!"

The soldiers had no worries about being alone in the deep enemy territory, but instead were full of enthusiasm for fighting.

Xia Yuan nodded and made quick adjustments.

There is an enemy group on the top of the hill right now, and there are enemy trucks on the road below the hill.

Xia Yuan decided to divide the troops into two teams. He led one team to attack the enemy on the hill, while the third platoon leader Zhang Tongshu led the team to attack the enemy on the road.

After the order was given, he led the soldiers to move up the mountain. Just when they reached halfway up the mountain, a big man appeared on the top of the mountain and blew a whistle to contact them. Xia Yuan understood that the enemy on the mountain mistook them for their own people.

"attack!"

Xia Yuan took out his small trumpet and blew it, one long and one short.

The enemy had experienced this kind of sound during the Second Battle. When they heard the small horn, they were immediately frightened and turned around and ran away.

When the soldiers reached the mountain, they found that all the enemies on the mountain had fled. Xia Yuan looked closely and saw that the enemies in the ravine were carrying guns and running along the traffic ditch to the opposite mountain.

"Hit them, don't let them go!"

The enemy's butt was left to them. Xia Yuan would not let go of such a good opportunity. He let the soldiers shoot freely. He used a rifle to kill more than a dozen enemies in succession. A large number of enemies fell down under the soldiers' shooting.

There were still enemies entering the fortifications on the opposite hill. Xia Yuan shouted, "Fu Guoliang, Shen Yuchen, set up your guns and blow up the fortifications on the opposite side!"

When replenishing the troops, their superiors gave them two artillerymen, an additional 60mm gun, and five artillery shells.

The first shell successfully landed in the middle of the enemy's fortifications, followed by three consecutive shells that exploded in the enemy group, and the last shell destroyed an enemy machine gun fire point.

Five artillery shells made the enemy scream in agony, but they refused to give up the hill and continued to hold their positions.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan led two combat teams of soldiers and attacked from the communication trench dug by the enemy. With his fire support, the enemy's defense line on the commanding heights gradually shrank. With the arrival of subsequent soldiers, this position was successfully captured by them.

At this moment, they had little ammunition left. Some soldiers only had a few bullets left, and they had almost lost all their grenades.

"Install bayonets, the enemy's resistance is getting weaker and weaker." Xia Yuan had already arrived at the front line. Seeing that the resistance was getting weaker and weaker, he felt relieved. Everyone put on bayonets and charged forward to drive the remaining enemies off the hill.

"Quick, collect the enemy's ammunition and quickly hide in the communication trench!"

He was not sure whether the enemy would bombard the hill, so it would be better to defend early.

At this moment, the battle on the road was also coming to an end, with cars in the ravine emitting thick smoke that blocked out the sky.

On the hilltop, after they withdrew, they were hit by fierce enemy artillery fire.

Fortunately, they withdrew from their positions early and hid in the communication trench between the two hills. Although some stray bullets fell here, they did not have much impact on them.

When the shelling ended, before they could go up, they saw the enemy soldiers.

The morale of the soldiers who received the ammunition supply was quite high. Although there were only more than 20 of them and the enemy outnumbered them by a great margin, none of them was cowardly. By the time the enemy occupied half of the position, the artillery fire had extended to the hill behind them.

Xia Yuan decisively led the soldiers to attack, climbed up the position, and launched a counterattack against the enemy.

The enemies who had just climbed to the top of the mountain were counterattacked by the people led by Xia Yuan before they could even warm their butts.

After two rounds of this, the enemy's attack weakened. The battle on the highway was over. A dozen soldiers came here, and one soldier cried and said, "Company commander, the platoon leader died!"

"What's going on?" Xia Yuan asked hurriedly.

Zhang Tongshu led a few soldiers to rush to the road and snatch a car from the enemy. Unfortunately, he was hit by a bullet. He did not die, but he did not know he was shot and continued to charge with the soldiers. By the time he realized he was shot, he was dizzy due to excessive bleeding.

He fell to the ground during a reunion, but by then, it was too late.

Xia Yuan asked: "Have all the enemies been eliminated?"

“They’re all wiped out!”

"Well done, we avenged the fallen soldiers!"

They captured two enemy hills, destroyed an enemy mobile force, replenished their weapons and equipment, and had no shortage of equipment and ammunition in the short term.

Xia Yuan decided to stay here for the time being, as their troops would definitely attack us.

The enemy's defense at the western end of the 38th parallel was quite tight, and the terrain was also very rugged. Not only was there the natural barrier of the Imjin River, but there were also high mountains and dangerous roads, which caused great trouble to the soldiers responsible for the attack.

But even with such a natural barrier, the enemy was unable to stop the soldiers' attack. In just one night, the defense line that Ridgway called an iron wall was breached by them.

The third company held out in the enemy's belly for a day, during which they were besieged by a large number of enemies. The two hills were bombed into scorched earth by the enemy's artillery fire, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle here.

That night, Xia Yuan decided to lead the remaining soldiers into the mountains.

Now, we don’t know what the orders from our superiors will be. If we continue to hold on to these two hills, we will most likely be attacked by the enemy in rotation, and our remaining forces will be gradually consumed.

It would be better to take enough supplies, go into the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare.

The third battle will reach Seoul or even deeper, and they will be able to catch up with the main force sooner or later.

The 38th Army broke through the enemy's three defense lines in a short period of time. Their vaunted lifeline was shattered by the Chinese and North Korean People's Army overnight.

Ridgway said: "The reports sent to me overnight clearly show that the enemy's attack has mobilized a large number of troops and we probably cannot resist it."

So he ordered an organized retreat, but his soldiers had been frightened several times throughout the night and were like frightened birds.

A panicked army will find it difficult to retreat in an organized manner, even for the enemy.

Xia Yuan led the Third Company and penetrated deep into the enemy's territory. He even marched side by side with the retreating enemy. Because it was still dark, some enemies discovered the soldiers of the Third Company and took them for their own people.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yuan ordered the soldiers to paint their faces, put on military coats seized from enemy corpses, and blend into the enemy group.

Because it was still dark, the car lights were dim, and the enemy was in a panic. They did not realize that they were volunteers and thought they were their own people.

Seeing that a group of enemies didn't have guns, Xia Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Where are your guns?"

An American soldier said dejectedly: "On the mountain."

"Why did you drop it?"

"The enemy came so suddenly that we couldn't even take care of our lives. What's the point of having a gun?"

This is said with confidence and even though it is a bit blunt, it makes sense.

There were a large number of enemies on the road, including American troops and Li's puppet troops. It was hard to say how many routes they were marching, but they were so dense that it seemed that they didn't even have any organizational structure.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle.

"Don't you even have a car?"

"Damn it, they ran away a long time ago. When they heard the Chinese were coming, they ran faster than anyone else and we were left behind."

An American soldier beside him was waving a piece of paper. He was not panicked at all: "Look, what is this? Hey, this is the 'privilege card' issued by the Volunteer Army. Do you have it?"

The preferential treatment cards were issued to them by the Volunteer Army. Before the second battle, that is, not long after the end of the first battle, the Volunteer Army had released a group of prisoners and issued them preferential treatment cards.

At critical moments, the preferential card can save their lives.

Therefore, American soldiers with preferential treatment certificates had witnessed the Volunteer Army's preferential treatment of prisoners, so when they were attacked, they would respond passively. As long as they were not killed, there would be no problem in surviving.

If you meet the Volunteer Army, just throw away your gun and shout "privilege card" in broken Chinese, and the Volunteer Army will not shoot at soldiers who lose their guns.

"Man, be careful not to be fooled by them."

"The Volunteer Army keeps its word. Have you ever been a prisoner?"

Xu Ming couldn't help laughing. This guy was being so arrogant.

"This was given to me by the Volunteer Army themselves. After being captured, as long as you have this, they will prepare food and hot dishes for you, as well as water for bathing. This is more useful than the stuff from the United Nations."

Xia Yuan had never seen the things that the UN forces gave them. They were probably some unknown documents. He was afraid that they were trying to deceive them and that they could do something with these documents.

When the enemy retreated, there was chaos everywhere. In order to avoid getting separated, Xia Yuan decided to leave them early.

The enemy retreated in a panic and left behind a large amount of supplies in some places. Xia Yuan decided to take a look at these supplies, hoping he could get some good stuff.

But after hearing from some American soldiers that some supplies would be destroyed when they left, Xia Yuan became impatient as the supplies could not be thrown away.

They followed the direction the enemy came from and saw that the enemy had abandoned a large amount of supplies in a village. About thirty American soldiers were burying explosives, preparing to blow up the supplies.

This was not the first or second time that the enemy blew up supplies. During the Battle of Changjin Lake, when the enemy was evacuating the port, they blew up hundreds of tons of supplies.

“It’s just in time.”

When Xia Yuan saw that the enemy had not yet exploded, he immediately took out his whistle and blew it.

This whistle is like the death song.

When the whistle sounded, the enemy soldiers were like frightened birds, screaming and ignoring their explosives.

"Second Platoon Leader, lead your men to chase them. Chase them for a whole mile. Everyone else, quickly transfer these supplies!"

Xia Yuan immediately came to the supplies and was immediately shocked.

Boxes of ammunition and supplies were placed before them, enough to equip at least one or two full-strength battalions, and it was not as barely enough as it was at Flying Tiger Mountain.

"Get rich!"
