Chapter 397: Embarrassing to the house

Shangganling successively defeated three heroic Eighth Company. The most famous one is the Eighth Company of the 134th Regiment; there is also the Eighth Company of the Ninth Cannon Regiment; and the other is the Eighth Company of the Ninth Regiment.

The regaining of the No. 10 position. It was with the support of the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment that Wang Yang led them to restore the position and drove the enemy out of our position. When the soldiers of the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment came to a very extreme, Wang Yang realized that because the 45th Division fought very hard and its combat effectiveness was repeatedly consumed. In order to better protect the combat results of the 45th Division, Zhishi decided that the Shangganling position would be controlled by the 91st Regiment of the 12th Army. The 45th Division successfully completed the combat mission and could be reunited with glorious triumph.

Speaking of the 91st Regiment of the 12th Army, Wang Yang knew that this was a team full of honors.

The commander of the 92nd Regiment in Shangganling was Li Changsheng, a native of Shanxi. He was a member of the Sacrifice Society in middle school and soon joined the Communist Party of China. He was considered an old revolutionary comrade.

After graduating from Taiyuan Middle School, he was sent to the Yan'an Anti-Japanese University Staff Team by the Party organization to study. Among the several commanders of the 12th Army, he was the most educated and famous intellectual.

It is different when you have culture to fight. Knowledge can keep people rational, clear-headed and adaptable in wars.

As soon as he arrived at Shangganling, Li Changsheng found that there were several or even more than a dozen companies mixed on a mountain, which could easily cause disorder in the command system. In order to avoid the chaos of multiple institutional investment in defense, he decided to organize the nine infantry companies of the 91st Regiment into nine echelons, using the "wheel tactics", one to connect one company. Regardless of whether the casualties of this company were large or small, they would be withdrawn after one day to replace the second company. The company commander of the previous company was left as an adviser, introducing the enemy Sui, the terrain, and the fighting style on the high ground, and then retreated with the second company, while the company commander of the second company was left as an adviser to the third company; and so on.

Therefore, the 91st Regiment was always in order on the 597-9 Highlands. After taking over Wang Yang and his team, the positions were always in the hands of our army, and the 91st Regiment was unanimously commended by Shishi after the war and made a name for himself.

Li Changsheng was casual during the war and was proud after the war. He was a rare Confucian general in the Volunteer Army.

In 1957, he was elected to study at the Foreign Department of the Soviet Vloshilov Military Academy and studied senior command. When Mao Zedong visited the Soviet Union, he went to the airport to welcome the leader as a representative of the student who stayed in the Soviet Union. He had the honor of having a cordial conversation and handshake with the leader.

Then Commander Li Changsheng waited for the old Shangji General Peng Dehuai to visit Suzhou, and was cordially received by General Peng Dehuai.

In order to welcome China's Minister of Defense, Khrushchev held a banquet in the Kremlin Grand Ballroom. Li Changsheng was invited by the Soviet side as a representative of the student. That night, Khrushchev personally welcomed the banquet outside the brightly lanterned banquet hall and shook hands with the Chinese guests attending the banquet. It can be said that the leader Li Changsheng had the most say in the Russians since the founding of the People's Republic of China and even later reform and opening up.

At that time, Li Changsheng, who had made military achievements in the Korean War, became the focus of the banquet. There were many Chinese and foreign journalists present at that time, and the spotlight flashed constantly. Li Changsheng, who was wearing the rank of colonel, was handsome and particularly eye-catching. The stolen limelight he could even compete with General Peng Dehuai.

Even in the next day's Pravda, in addition to Peng Dehuai's photo, he also specially selected a photo of Li Changsheng shaking hands with Khrushchev. In the words of the leader Li Changsheng later, the Russians smelled quite a bit, and their hands were covered in sweat.

But what I didn't expect later was that it was the photo of shaking hands with the Russians that caused great trouble to Li Changsheng. As soon as the "Cultural Revolution" came, it was this photo that brought Li Changsheng the bad luck of "Khrushchev's loyal lackey".

The conference criticized, decentralized labor, expelled from the party... Except for the two years when Comrade Deng Xiaoping returned as the chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army for the second time, Li Changsheng was a little relieved. He had not lived a smooth life for more than ten years, and the infinite success that had been revealed to him was ruined by the political movement.

In the last decade, General Li Changsheng lived idle in a dilapidated house from the Kuomintang period in Xinjiekou, Nanjing.

The handsome general on Shangganling was now old. Li Changsheng, who had been fighting for many years with hemiplegia caused by cerebral hemorrhage, wore a loose casual suit and his burly body was like a withered autumn leaves, curled up in an old wooden chair with a circle and listened to the radio.

A silk-white triangle scarf hung down from his neck, holding his numb right arm. When he had to leave the table, the old man had to stand up with difficulty, rush onto dozens of steps, and trample the semi-decaying floor so that he could balance his unruly legs, and then stagger with difficulty with a crutch.

The old age is so cold. But the old man's life was brilliant in both war and peace. This is enough, which makes him have more comfort and pride than those of us who are physically sound.

But for granted, when Wang Yang was fighting on the 597.9 high ground, he didn't want the opportunity to meet the leader of Li Changsheng, because the one who took over his defensive formation was another hero company, the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment of the 12th Army.

Wang Yang soon knew that the company commander and instructor of this company were a pair of cousins. He had been peeing and playing with mud since he was a child. The two cousins ​​cooperated closely and made many contributions on the battlefield and brought out a powerful army full of honors.

The company commander was named Zhang. He fought well and was quite cheerful. Wang Yang quickly fought with him and established a friendship with comrades on the position.

Unfortunately, in the years to come, Wang Yang knew that Company Commander Zhang later made a mistake like the male protagonist in the sword. After breaking through the death zone of war, he failed to pass the woman's obstacles in a peaceful environment and fell down by himself.

After falling once, the leader helped him pull it. After falling again and again, he never got up again. In fact, it was not nice to put it nicely. The protagonist in the sword was created based on him as the prototype.

When the new force came, Wang Yang could give the position to Company Commander Zhang with confidence, and then take the soldiers of the 45th Division on the position, but unexpectedly, Commander Cui Jiangong called and Wang Yang had to stay on the position again.

Commander Cui Jiangong was quite satisfied with Wang Yang's command on the position during this period. He was full of ecstasy in front of Captain Gao Xiaodong and Captain Gao. There was nothing else. The 91st Regiment of the 12th Army had just arrived on the battlefield and didn't know anything. Of course, a commander who was familiar with the position had to stay there to assist in command. Of course, Wang Yang was the best choice.

Faced with such difficulties, Wang Yang didn't say much. Anyway, he was numb until now. He felt that even without the enemy's attack, he could see the enemy rushing up in his mind and in his ears. His blood was boiling and he seemed to have not fought enough. If he had left the battlefield now, he might not be used to it.

So he asked Shi Donglai, Ye Cheng and Li Baocheng to take the team down. The group of soldiers with ragged uniforms got tired from the battlefield, but they were destined to return to the rear of the position to receive enthusiastic welcome. They were the heroes in the battle of Shangganling. It was because of them that the 45th Division defeated Vanfortree in this battle.

"Captain, take care of yourself! I'll wait for you in the back!"

"Captain, leave me behind, let's go back together!"

Shi Donglai knew his physical condition and he couldn't help Wang Yang in the position, so he patted Wang Yang deeply on the shoulder, but the simple words showed his kind care for Wang Yang.

However, Ye Cheng was jumping around in this battle. Seeing that the captain did not go down, Ren Wangyang said that the boy was willing to leave and stayed on the position even though he was alive. In the end, Wang Yang had no choice but to follow him, but he took care of him repeatedly and didn't run around and followed him. Ye Cheng's boy agreed, but once the battle started, Wang Yang might have only sighed.

Because, only Wang Yang knew that this kid had been fighting several times on the Shangganling position and felt that he was full of breath. Now he finally defended the position and used favorable terrain to destroy the enemy in large quantities, Ye Cheng was running on the position to kill the enemy. There were many enemies there, so he rushed there. The enemies who died in his hands now have reached three digits in these days.

After sending off the officers and soldiers of the 45th Division, Ye Cheng and Wang Yang stayed on the No. 3 main peak position. For Wang Yang and Ye Cheng, these were the strongest soldiers left by the meritorious troops in front and the most backbone force of the volunteer army. Of course, Company Commander Zhang would never want to see these two heroes not sacrificing in the beginning of the battle, but instead helped their company's defensive positions fall down in the final, so he also sent two guards to him, Wang Yang and the others.

Next was at night. The soldiers of the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment ignored the rest. They immediately attacked the fortifications destroyed by the 187th Airborne Regiment of the US Army during the day, and opened the collapsed tunnel entrances and anti-aircraft holes and rebuilt them.

It was not until this time that the soldiers of the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment knew what kind of battle Wang Yang and the others had faced on this position, and dug up bunkers and tunnels. They looked at Wang Yang and Ye Cheng with expressions of respect on their faces.

There is not much right or wrong among the passionate men in the military camp. As long as the warriors who can take the lead in the battle and make immortal contributions are heroes in everyone's eyes.

But what about looking at the positions that Wang Yang and the others had guarded?

Alas, when the tunnels and bunkers were dug out, the soldiers of the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment changed their faces because they suddenly found that the bunkers and bunkers they dug out were all dead.

Even because there were too many corpses of the enemy, Wang Yang and his team fought too fiercely at that time, and it was impossible to clean the battlefield thoroughly. A small soldier from the second and third squad of the Eighth Company used a pickaxe to dig the anti-cannon hole. It was so coincidental that he took the pickaxe and hooked the grenade pull ring on the corpse of the American soldiers. The pickaxe was lifted and exploded, causing several soldiers in the Eighth Company to be injured. The young soldier also had a big skin on his shoulder, and tears were flowing down.

There were too many corpses. To be honest, Wang Yang and Ye Cheng didn't remember how many dead South Korean soldiers and American soldiers they moved to these tunnels on the battlefield. In the end, the soldiers of the Eighth Company took out thirty or forty corpses in an hour just when they cleared a tunnel on the side of the main peak position of No. 3.

At that time, the soldiers of the Eighth Company were a little dumbfounded and asked Company Commander Zhang with some headaches: Where are so many dead people going?

Company Commander Zhang is also awesome. This brave general looked at the general's emergency. He didn't know when the enemy would come up. After thinking about it, he ordered the soldiers: Just build a wall at the entrance of the tunnel to serve as a cover for us.

The situation behind both Wang Yang and Ye Cheng were dumbfounded. Company Commander Zhang was really commanding the battle in this command center day and night. The pile of corpses used as bunkers were not cleaned until after the battle ended. Company Commander Zhang's face did not change when he walked off the position. Ye Cheng and Wang Yang couldn't help but admire his courage. You must know that when the battle was the most intense, when the enemy's shells and bullets hit the wall of the corpse, and the black blood flowing out of the corpse, they really didn't dare to do this without some courage and determination.

"Once the 597.9 highland is lost, the Five Sacred Mountains will be dangerous, and the enemy will be condescending, making us unable to gain a foothold in the vast Pingkang area, and the entire Korean war situation will undergo serious changes. When you fight on friendly positions, you cannot treat yourself as an ordinary company. You are the representative team of the 12th Army. You must establish good relations with the 45th Division and learn from the brothers humbly. Only fight well, not destroy them."

Company Commander Zhang didn't talk much, but when the morning was approaching, he first said this to the soldiers of the company. Then, with the rumbling artillery fire, another fierce battle began. This time, the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment was advancing along the route of the heroic troops, and they would never allow their own failure.

The sound of cannons rumbled, like thunder, I never knew what it meant to stop. Everyone knew that the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment would face a bad battle.

However, the soldiers were extremely strong. Before the Battle of Shangganling, the Eighth Company of the 91st Regiment fought defense in the Jincheng area. The entire company had only 2nd and 9th squads fought with the Han Sixth Division and made contributions. The others were so envious that they were so furious that they were furious. However, when they arrived at Shangganling, everyone knew that they were not afraid of not having the chance to make contributions. Anyway, the enemy would consciously send it to the door to let everyone beat them up. So the whole company was excited, screaming, and they bit their fingers and wrote blood letters. The enthusiasm for fighting made Wang Yang and Ye Cheng feel moved when they read it. As expected, it was worthy of the fifth phase II battle. Not only did they have many casualties in the raid of thousands of miles, but they also destroyed the strong army of the two enemy battalions.

The 8th Company of the 91st Regiment had more than 170 people. Under the command and arrangement of Company Commander Zhang, the artillery platoon was drawn out to transport ammunition, and three infantry platoons were placed on the position.

In addition to the submachine guns on the back of the chief and deputy squad leader, each soldier had 10 grenades and 2 blasting barrels. The position was made to be made into a ruler, and ordinary grenades were no longer useful at all. The sound of throwing them over was like a pot, puff, and finally all advanced grenades were used.

Speaking of which, Wang Yang and Ye Cheng were a little envious of the soldiers of the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment. After all, the 12th Army had been repaired for a while, so many advanced weapons from the rear came to their hands. When fighting, the tricks were much stronger than the 7th Company led by Wang Yang.

Well, this is the first time Wang Yang has seen this so-called high-end grenade. It turns out that it was the latest production of the Russians. The Russians called this grenade Molotov grenade. One grenade is more powerful than two grenades.

In addition, the blasting tube proved its practicality in the Korean War. Wow, that guy was powerful. He broke into the sky and the earth and broke out. All the broken steel pieces were broken. Although the game was too heavy in the field, it was not convenient to throw it away, for the position station in Shangganling, the volunteer soldiers were all condescending and pushing down the hillside. This thing was the most powerful when the battle was urgent. Instead, the soldiers of the Eighth Company brought a lot of them. The logistics support troops who pulled ammunition alone had more than 100 people.

It has to be said that compared to Wang Yang and others who rushed to the position at that time, the soldiers of the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment of the 12th Army were much more prepared, so of course the enemy would also encounter more trouble.

But the actual situation is that in the battle at dawn, it was the first time to defend on the Shangganling position, and the soldiers did not have enough thoughts and continued to use their fighting style when defending Jincheng to fight. The tragic scene of the battle in the end still surprised them. In the words of Company Commander Zhang, it was the first time that the blocking battle was so miserable, which was the Iron-yuan blocking battle fought by the 63rd Army back then.

At 10 a.m. alone, Company Commander Zhang received a report that the No. 10 position was tight, so he quickly sent two squads from the third platoon to reinforce.

Two squads moved from the garrison tunnel on the hillside of our No. 3 position to the top of the mountain, with a distance of fifty or sixty meters. A observation station on the edge of the highland 597.9 was out of sight and thought it was the enemy. They immediately reported to the artillery command post: The enemy has taken the No. 3 position.

Company Commander Zhang looked at the fireballs flying from the Wusheng Mountain at the entrance of the tunnel, and shouted in his heart: It's broken. As soon as he turned his face, he saw the two squads being engulfed by the artillery fire. The phone was not in contact at that time, so I quickly sent a deputy platoon leader to the battalion commander and told them not to fight, it was our people who were moving in the No. 3 position.

It was really annoying. When he was fighting, he accidentally injured his two squads. Company Commander Zhang had to reorganize reinforcements again, but it was too late to reorganize. In just a while, the US military once again attacked the No. 10 position.
Chapter completed!
