Chapter 5 Second Platoons Night Raid Mission

In the narrow and dark tunnel, the soldiers squatted on the ground in the tunnel holding 50 punches. Listening to what Squad Leader Hu said, their inner will to fight became even stronger!

Squad leader Hu looked at them and said: "Tonight, at ten o'clock, we will launch a small-scale raid on the unknown highland on the south side. Our platoon is the combat unit of this operation. This battle is also the first time our company has taken the initiative this month.

This battle was the first time that our platoon served as the main force to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. We must not only fight well, fight beautifully, and fight tenaciously, but we must also show our momentum! Let everyone see it.

Our second platoon also has a strong will to fight!"

"We must learn from the 'heroic spirit' and carry forward the 'heroic spirit' and take heroes as examples! If we don't write a hero list, we will paint a martyrs' monument! Don't be a wimp, strive to be a hero!"

The soldiers shouted with high morale: "Strive to be heroes!"

In the narrow and dark tunnel, a kerosene lamp emitted a faint light, which reflected the faces of the soldiers brightly. Squad Leader Hu looked at the eager and fighting faces of the soldiers and continued: "Comrades, behind us is the

Our country, the direction of our home, to fight the foreign devils is to defend our hometown, our homeland. Behind us, tens of thousands of compatriots are looking at us, and they will not forget us, because we are great heroes! If we make meritorious service, our whole family will

glory!"

"Is it difficult to dig a tunnel? It is difficult, but we have overcome it! Do you still remember the hero's oath!"

Squad leader Hu said: "I don't believe there is..."

The soldiers shouted: "I don't believe there are missions that can't be completed! I don't believe there are difficulties that can't be overcome! I don't believe there are enemies that can't be defeated!"

Squad leader Hu said: "We must overcome difficult difficulties! No matter how impossible the task is, we must complete it! No matter how powerful the enemy is, we must defeat them!"

"The digging of tunnels will continue. This is the task of our second platoon. The deputy squad leader has organized everyone. The tunnels have been dug well. I owe you a lot of credit. The tunnels have been dug wonderfully. The foreign devils who were beaten screamed. We want to turn Shangganling into a line of copper."

Wall, let the enemy's artillery fire fall on our heads without hurting us at all."

"Comrade Xia Yuan stays, and the others return to their respective positions."

"yes!"

The mobilization of each platoon and each squad was very smooth. The four new soldiers who joined the company were also called by their squad leaders for simple ideological counseling. The soldiers were afraid of fighting and were afraid of fighting. To deal with such timidity, each company and platoon adopted a non-criticism,

Instead of scolding each other, use the emotions between the soldiers as a bond to inspire their inner will to fight.

Squad leader Hu looked at Xia Yuan's young face and said, "How old are you this year?"

Xia Yuan answered seriously: "24."

Squad leader Hu said happily: "Hey, you are so old, have you found your mother-in-law?"

Xia Yuan shook his head: "No."

Squad Leader Hu said: "Now that you are old, it's time to find a mother-in-law. After the war is over, the squad leader will introduce you to one."

"Why."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"Do you know how to smoke?" Squad Leader Hu took out tobacco from his pocket, rolled it up in a piece of paper and lit it.

Xia Yuan shook his head and nodded: "I know a little bit."

Captain Hu was a long-time smoker. He started smoking cigarettes. He took out a crumpled cigarette box from his pocket, opened the cigarette box, and there was only one cigarette left in it. He handed it to Xia Yuan: "Try it.

, these are the cigarettes from the foreign devils, Lao Li asked me for them for a long time, but I didn’t give them to him."

Lao Li is the deputy squad leader and is responsible for the internal affairs of a group of soldiers.

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, folded his hands on his knees, took the cigarette handed over by Squad Leader Hu, took a sip of his cigarette, couldn't help coughing, and took another unbelieving puff before he felt smooth.

a little.

Seeing Xia Yuan's awkward smoking posture, Squad Leader Hu smiled and smoked a cigarette. The smile on his face faded a little. He said: "Tonight our platoon will be the main force. Our first class is an assault class. It must be a rush class."

At the front, you follow Lao Li. When you charge, listen to the bullets above your head and the whizzing sound of the bullets. If the sound is quiet, rush forward. If the sound is loud, hide."

Xia Yuan listened, nodded, and did not refute. He was a new recruit. Can he say that he had fought in the Xinxingli annihilation battle, and that he could also blow up the Shuimen Bridge?

The world is not the same world.

"Let me take a look at the gun," Squad Leader Hu said again.

Xia Yuan took off his gun and handed it to Squad Leader Hu.

"If the Type 50 submachine gun jams, just turn it over and pat it."

Squad Leader Hu pointed the magazine upwards, held a cigarette in his mouth, patted the gun body gently with his hand, and said to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan nodded: "Squad leader, I know."

Squad leader Hu asked again: "How many magazines do you have on you?"

Xia Yuan replied: "Three magazines."

Squad leader Hu nodded: "Three magazines are enough. Clean the gun when you have nothing to do."

Xia Yuan nodded, thought for a moment and then asked: "Squad leader, if I seize the foreign devil's gun, can I apply for a replacement gun?"

Squad Leader Hu smoked a cigarette and asked, "Do you want to change your gun?"

Xia Yuan nodded, and Squad Leader Hu added: "You can apply to your superiors."

Xia Yuan thought about it. After the battle of Shangganling really started, it actually didn't matter whether he applied or not. By the middle and late stages of the battle of Shangganling, all the guns were broken and supplies could not be supplied. The soldiers could only rely on the enemy.

Go and touch.

The mobilization was basically over, and today's water digging work still had to continue. Xia Yuan dug two pits at the ends of the two tunnels. The rock layer in one of the pits had been cut through by him, while the rock layer in the other pit had not been moved.

, digging through the rock layer of a pit has consumed a lot of time and energy, and he has no time to dig other tunnels.

The soldiers of the Ninth Company were also digging tunnels day and night. Based on the original two tunnels, they penetrated the two tunnels to form a 'U'-shaped tunnel, which was extended to Position 1 and dug out a 'Y'-shaped tunnel.

tunnel.

Originally, there was only one tunnel entrance and two internal tunnels. With the efforts of the soldiers, two tunnel entrances were dug out of the tunnel on the reverse slope. One of the tunnel entrances was covered with branches and sand, and the other tunnel entrance was left open.

With.

It extends in the direction of Position No. 1 and is connected with a bomb shelter crater on Position No. 1.

Xia Yuan admired the soldiers' hands-on ability very much. Some soldiers' hands were frayed. He simply dealt with them and continued to work on the excavation. During the day, they dug in two rows and in the evening, they dug in three and four rows. They worked day and night. Tunnel No. 1 is currently

It is already the largest tunnel among all tunnels.

At Xia Yuan's suggestion, the entrance of the tunnel was also modified. There was a bunker blocking the entrance of the tunnel. If the enemy wanted to enter the tunnel, the soldiers could hide in the bunker inside the tunnel and shoot at the enemy.

The difficulty of digging the tunnel is very difficult, but with the efforts of the soldiers, they can still overcome it, just like the three heroes who did not believe it.

I don’t believe there are insurmountable difficulties.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had become darker, and the soldiers of the second platoon had begun to prepare weapons and ammunition in the tunnel. Squad Leader Hu came to Xia Yuan and handed him a ready-made straw hat: "Put this on your head.

, we will set off in a while, you can follow Lao Li."

As he spoke, he called out: "Old Li, Old Li."

The deputy squad leader ran over and said, "Lao Hu, what's going on?"

Lao Hu pulled Xia Yuan and said: "Our class's new comrade, the battle has begun. You take him and teach him how to survive on the battlefield."

The deputy squad leader sighed and said: "This is simple, Comrade Xia Yuan, just follow me when we set off later."

At about four o'clock, the sky gradually darkened.

Under the call of Platoon Leader Sun, the soldiers checked their weapons and ammunition and got ready to go.

The unnamed highland is located in the southeast of Shangganling. After reconnaissance by the scouts, it was determined that there was only one company of the South Korean Army stationed on the unnamed highland. The unnamed highland was not high, only more than 200 meters. The enemy had two machine gun bunkers on the top of the mountain.

Mainly by breaking through the enemy's machine gun bunkers, they can be completely annihilated on the unknown high ground.

Taking advantage of the darkening sky, the second platoon set off. The first platoon was responsible for covering, as well as the volunteer soldiers on the 537.7 Highlands. This unknown highland was sandwiched between the 597.9 Highlands and the 537.7 Highlands, which was equivalent to a nail inserted into the Volunteer Army.

on the frontline.

When the team was marching, there was little chatting, and Lao Li didn't speak. He only looked back at Xia Yuan from time to time, and after confirming that he was following him, he turned around and continued on the road. The soldiers were moving very fast, weaving through the mountains quickly.

.

After traveling for more than half an hour, the volunteer soldiers bent down close to the reverse slope near the unknown highland. Under the dim sky, they could see the shaking figures of the enemies on the high ground in the distance. They were not yet fully aware of the arrival of the volunteer army.

Platoon Leader Sun used binoculars to observe the enemy's defense situation on the high ground, and determined that the enemy had two machine gun bunkers facing north. He whispered: "The attack will begin at ten o'clock in the evening. We must first remove the enemy's firepower points."

He observed the barbed wire fences and landmines laid out by the enemy at the foot of the mountain. The attack plan had already been designated. Every night the demining soldiers would go here to clear the mines on the ground. Last night, the landmines near the unknown highlands had been basically cleared.

Platoon leader Sun was observing, and Xia Yuan was also observing with night vision and eagle eyes. He could see every move of the enemy on the high ground. He could see the vegetation and even a stone clearly. He could even see clearly.

It was observed that there were traces of human activity on the ground.

"All the landmines in this area have been cleared. It seems that the plan to attack the unknown highlands has been formulated for a long time."

Xia Yuan clutched the submachine gun in his hand.

The accuracy of the Type 50 submachine gun is not very high, and it cannot be used as a sniper. He has the firearms master level, and such a submachine gun is easy to use. In comparison, Xia Yuan still likes to use big eight grains, pull the trigger, and shoot at long range.

Snipe and kill the enemy's walkie-talkie operators, commanders, and enemy snipers and recoilless rifles, which can effectively attack the enemy.

When the Battle of Shangganling breaks out, the US military will definitely send snipers to Shangganling.

After receiving the combat mission, Squad Leader Hu hurried back and called the soldiers over for a meeting. He said: "Our mission this time is the enemy's two machine gun bunkers. The task is difficult. We have to blow them up within two hours."

The enemy's machine gun bunker clears the way for subsequent troops to attack."

He looked at Xia Yuan with some worry and said, "It won't be easy to blow up the enemy's machine gun bunker. You go up last."

Xia Yuan stared into Squad Leader Hu's eyes and said firmly: "Squad Leader, I want to be the first to go."

Before Squad Leader Hu could say anything, Lao Li said: "No, you are a new comrade with no combat experience, and you are not familiar with avoiding bullets. If you go up there, you will die. Just leave the machine gun bunker to us."

He added: "Lao Hu, let's arrange it like this. Let the first group be responsible for blowing up the bunker, and the other groups will be responsible for covering it."

Squad leader Hu said to Xia Yuan: "Obey the order!"

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing. He remembered that during the Battle of Changjin Lake, no matter what time, the new soldiers were always the group of people who were taken care of by the veterans. He secretly decided in his heart that this battle on the unknown heights must be

Let everyone change their view of him.

The soldiers were divided into squads. When the time quietly approached ten o'clock, squad leader Hu whispered: "Let's go!"

Xia Yuan took the lead and was about to attack, but was pulled by Lao Li. Lao Li just looked at him: "Follow me!"

Xia Yuan nodded, and after Lao Li rushed out of the bunker, he followed Lao Li's footsteps and followed him closely.

Squad leader Hu led two combat groups through the enemy's minefield and quickly came to the barbed wire fence. One group raised their guns to cover, while the other group quickly cut the barbed wire fence and used two forked wooden heads to lift up the cut barbed wire fence.

The members of the combat team crawled through the barbed wire fence one by one.

After Lao Li covered Xia Yuan to get in, he followed him. Behind him, Platoon Leader Sun used binoculars to observe the enemy's high ground from time to time. The night was a full moon night, and the bright moonlight cast a pale white color on the ground. The enemy

Only some dim lights were on on the high ground, and no enemies were found. It was very likely that they had gone to bed at this time.

However, enemy security posts could still be seen near the enemy's machine gun bunker. He cursed: "When I came to observe the night before yesterday, there were not so many enemy security posts. Why are there so many enemy security posts tonight?"

!?"

The deputy platoon leader was also observing with a telescope. He put down the telescope and looked up at the moon in the sky: "The enemy has basically figured out the movement patterns of our army and knows that we like to fight on full moon nights."

On a full moon night, the moonlight is bright and the visibility is relatively high, which is the best time for our army to conduct night operations.

Platoon Leader Sun said: "Fortunately, the first squadron's assault went smoothly."

The first squadron's assault went very smoothly and passed through the barbed wire fence without any hindrance.

After passing through the barbed wire fence, they came to the foot of the mountain. Going up the hillside, they could see the enemy's machine gun bunker. It was built on the mountain and was very concealed. It was very difficult to blast. It was difficult to completely destroy it with ordinary explosives. A blasting tube was needed.

, stuffed into the mouth of the bunker and completely destroyed it.

This is also the reason why many soldiers carry blasting tubes to blow up bunkers.

There have been cases where bunkers were blown up with explosives but did not blow up.

Squad leader Hu gestured to the people in the first group to get ready. The three demolition warriors in the first group held the blasting tubes and squatted on the ground with firm eyes, staring at the enemy's machine gun bunker.

There were sentries on the enemy's machine gun bunker and nearby. Xia Yuan relied on his powerful night vision and eagle's vision to clearly understand the enemy's defense situation on the way over. On such a hill, the enemy sentries were already there.

There are as many as six.
