Xia Yuan pulled off the glory strips from Li Yumin's body and placed his body properly in the enemy's impact point.

Conditions were limited and his body could not be buried in time.

The remains of many martyrs were exposed on the battlefield. After a round of enemy shelling, no bones were left.

When many soldiers sacrificed their lives, they did not expect their bodies to be intact. They even thought that if they were sacrificed, their bodies would be used as bunkers for other soldiers.

Let them play their role one last time.

"Is there anyone else?"

Xia Yuan picked up a rifle from an enemy corpse, searched for some ammunition, put it on his body, and called out from the position.

"have!"

Smoke filled the air, and a few sporadic sounds rang out.

There are only two soldiers left in the third squad.

Xing Yutang, Sun Daorong.

Sun Daorong was wounded and one of his arms was broken by the enemy. He used a rifle with one hand to shoot at the enemy and persisted until the end.

The place he was holding on to was a bomb crater, and a lot of guns, ammunition, and bullet casings fell on the ground, which he collected from other martyrs, as well as from the enemy.

Xing Yutang stayed on the other side. Like Sun Daorong, he collected a lot of rifles and ammunition and fired at the enemy.

Since they were both alone, there was no need to worry about casualties.

The Volunteer Army has never worried about casualties.

On the contrary, the US military must pay attention to casualties. When their casualties are too heavy, they will choose to retreat.

Even if they knew that there were not many volunteers on the position, they would not attack the volunteer position again.

Xia Yuan simply made the next arrangements. Since Sun Daorong was injured, he briefly bandaged Sun Daorong to stop the bleeding.

And assigned him to the rear to be responsible for fire support.

Xing Yutang's combat ability is quite good, but not as good as the sacrificed Li Yumin. Li Yumin is a machine gunner and tall, but he was still injured by the enemy. This is the difference in numbers between the two sides. Li Yumin is already quite good, and he followed Xia Yuan for two rounds.

Although he sacrificed his life, he killed many American soldiers. As soldiers often say, he is "enough."

However, although Xing Yutang was small in stature, he was more agile. He could hold a position alone and flexibly pull the enemy to pieces. He also eliminated many enemies.

In desperate situations, the individual strength of volunteer soldiers is profoundly reflected.

This reminded Xia Yuan that during the Shangganling period, everyone could withstand thousands of troops.

After waiting for a while, no enemy shells came, so Xia Yuan called Xing Yutang to collect the enemy ammunition.

At this time, Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao also ran over.

They came over from the Second Squadron position. Xiao Heping said that he and Zhou Mao guarded the same position and repelled several enemy attacks.

Xia Yuan was pleased for the two of them. In the flames of war, the two of them gradually grew up and were able to stand alone.

The arrival of the two men has made up for the shortage of troops in the third squad and increased the defensive strength. At least until the next wave, when the enemy attacks, they will be able to defend with ease, and will no longer be stuck in various small positions due to the number of people.

The pressure is too much.

The enemy's attack did not come in a short time, and it was rare to give the third company a chance to breathe. Perhaps the time was up, and the enemy launched another fierce bombing.

This time, the soldiers of the Third Company, who were prepared, hid in the crater to avoid the enemy's shelling.

The bombardment ended, and the enemy pressed forward in overwhelming numbers.

The enemy in front of the fourth platoon and third squadron position was about a company with one to two hundred men. Xia Yuan arranged for everyone to disperse and fight independently, giving full play to their subjective initiative to avoid bayonet fights with the enemy.

Once the position was lost, it was lost. He just led his men to fight back again.

The forward position changed hands twice. As soon as the enemy occupied it, Xia Yuan led Xiao Heping, Zhou Mao and Xing Yutang to counterattack.

When the enemies swarmed in again, Xia Yuan led them to retreat while fighting, letting their position pass.

Then fight back again.

"Platoon commander, the enemy's car has passed!"

At one point they counterattacked onto the road, and everyone was surprised to find that these enemies actually took advantage of their soldiers to restrain them and drove past them in several vehicles. It seemed that those vehicles were equipped with cannons.

"Don't chase him, tell the company commander the news!"

The road is an open area, and the enemy's machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery vehicles can completely cover it. If it were not for the wreckage of tanks on the road, it is estimated that the position of the third squadron would have suffered.

But even though there were tank wreckage blocking the road, several cars still ran past.

Those vehicles should be howitzer vehicles.

Later, after investigation by the scouts of the 335th Regiment, it was indeed a howitzer truck, and four of them ran over.

The battles became more intense each time, and commanders at all levels were very concerned about whether the 335th Regiment could intercept the enemy at Shutang Station. Comrade Liang directly called Fan Tianen on the phone to inquire about the fighting situation at Songgu Peak and Shutang Station.

Comrade Liang heard that four howitzer trucks ran over and said categorically: "Catch them back for me. From now on, no enemy is allowed to escape southward from your defense zone!"

"yes!"

Fan Tianen put down the phone and immediately asked the third battalion commander to lead two companies to chase the four fleeing howitzer trucks.

After the two companies left, he felt that chasing the car was not enough, he had to blow up the car and completely block the highway.

Otherwise, when the enemy's infantry attacks their defense area, the enemy's vehicles can always take advantage of the chaos and drive away from the road. This time it was an unexpected move by the enemy, leaving them without any preparation.

Thinking of this, he asked the second battalion commander to send a squad to blow up the car. However, there were many enemies on the road and the firepower was strong. Several squads were sent in succession, and they all suffered casualties on the road.

The regiment cadres said that they should send the third company.

Fan Tianen refused on the spot.

The nameless high ground held by the third company was the most prominent part of the regiment. It suffered a fierce attack from the enemy. Their mission was important enough, and their troops could not be drawn away for such a thing.

So, he asked a platoon from the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion to rush to a hidden terrain in the southern section of the road and hide there until evening. Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, more than 30 people rushed onto the road and swung grenades. Some soldiers

Rush directly to the truck and insert the blasting tube into the gap between the truck and the front of the car.

With the deafening roar, most of the enemy's trucks were destroyed, and finally the ammunition truck was blown up and blocked the highway.

However, how can the Third Company, which is nailed to the forward position, tighten the enemy's neck and prevent them from running away?

This is a very serious problem. When the enemy stopped attacking, instructor Hu went to each platoon to check the casualties. It didn't matter if he didn't check, but he was shocked when he checked.

In just one day, the third company's casualties reached 40%.

At the company headquarters meeting held.

Instructor Hu said with a heavy heart: "There are only half of the company, and not even half of the backbone."

Captain Sun said firmly: "Our third company is a company with a glorious tradition. Everyone is a nail and must be firmly nailed to the position. We must withstand the tremendous pressure! I also believe that we

It can be done!”

His eyes swept across each row of monitors.

The Third Company is an old company. Not to mention its great contribution in Feihu Mountain, during the Anti-Japanese War, it fought in the Sulu-Anhui Border Region and received many awards.

During the War of Liberation, he was awarded honorary titles such as "Model Combat Company", "Three Good Company" and "Heroic Company for Crossing the Yangtze River".

Captain Sun pointed at the enemy at the foot of the mountain and said: "The heavy burden is coming, and our third company must also bear it. The enemy has steel and gasoline bombs, but we have weapons that the enemy does not have - courage and determination!"

After fighting the enemy for so long, everyone has a deep understanding of the enemy's soldiers.

The firepower is strong, but the soldiers have no courage. They are weak shrimps and paper tigers.

Company Commander Sun re-adjusted the tasks of each platoon. Since the fourth platoon was in charge of the sharp knives of the entire company in this battle, the casualties were huge, especially for the third squad of the fourth platoon, with only two soldiers left, the casualties were heavy.

Platoon leader Xu Guangtian stood up, expressed his determination, and asked Company Commander Sun to fight. Tomorrow, his platoon would be the sharp swordsman and watch the front.

But in fact, the enemy's indiscriminate attack, coupled with the gentle terrain, allows the enemy to surround them from all directions. There is no such thing as a frontier or not. The reason why the fourth platoon is a three-company frontier is just because they are very far away from the road.

Close and face the strongest U.S. military.

If the enemy attacks other platoon positions, there will be brother troops watching on the road.

There are no fourth rows, so it's completely tough.

However, not everyone can fight this kind of thing.

I heard from the young soldiers at the front that thanks to the watch of their platoon leader, they repelled seven enemy attacks with a few people. The enemy's corpses were piled on top of each other on the position. When the shells exploded, what was rolled up was not mud, but blood foam.

and minced meat.

If you put them in a row instead, you may not be able to achieve such an effect.

Company Commander Sun mobilized the first, second and third platoons and selected a combat group from each and transferred them to the fourth platoon and the third squad for forward combat.

Xia Yuan thought it was not necessary, but could not resist Captain Sun, so he could only accept it.

Company Commander Sun then designated agents at all levels from the company to the squad. The branch committee returned to the squad with the determination of the branch, and the party members responded one after another.

Pan Zhizhong, the seventh squad leader, was wounded in the head by an artillery shell, and the blood froze into a bloody coral-like ice strip on his cheek. His comrades persuaded him to withdraw from the line of fire, and he replied firmly:

"I am a glorious party member. As long as I can continue to fight, I will never withdraw!"

As a glorious party member, he plays a vital role in holding the position.
