Chapter 21 Even if we die, we will still use our bodies to hold back the enemys progress!
After hanging up the phone, a solemn atmosphere filled the entire tunnel. The smile on Instructor Lin's face disappeared and was replaced by solemnity.
The platoon leaders have realized the difficulty of this task.
"The meeting continues, let's discuss combat missions now!" Company Commander Gao said: "The US military has been moving more and more frequently in the past two days. It is very likely that the time for the general attack is not far away. We must be prepared in advance."
The roar of planes came again in the sky. As the battle at Cangshan ended, US military planes continued to visit the Five Sacred Mountains.
Since October 8, after Commander Clark of the United Nations agreed to Van Fleet's showdown operation, he began to conduct artillery bombings and aircraft bombings on the Iron Triangle Volunteer Army's garrison.
On October 12, the number of enemy planes and artillery shells that came to visit the volunteer army's Five Sacred Mountains, Shangganling, 597.9 Highland and 537.7 Highland Beishan positions suddenly increased. The "United Nations Army" fighter planes frantically bombed the target of the volunteer army's position and dropped dozens of bombs.
A gasoline bomb was fired, and the volunteer army's position was blazing with fire and thick smoke billowing.
On the same day, the US artillery bombarded the Five Sacred Mountains and the positions of the Volunteers in varying amounts. They also fired smoke bombs to indicate targets for the bombing aircraft, and focused on strengthening the blockade of the Volunteers' transportation roads. At the same time, in order to prevent the Volunteers from
During the night reconnaissance activities, the 'United Nations Army' sent tanks to the volunteer army's forward positions at night to intercept and fire, and then withdrew during the day.
In the volunteer army's forward observation post, the number of soybean grains used to indicate the number of enemy transport vehicles increased rapidly, which showed that the enemy's mobilization was unusually frequent. The 'United Nations Army' used cars to pull up some US troops to the west during the day, but at night they moved large numbers of US troops to the west.
The troops were transported to the front line, making it impossible for our army to find out the concentration of its troops.
The US military also sent more than 20 tanks to the Acer, and drove westward along the Jinhua and Tieyuan highways, pretending to attack Xishan Mountain, in an attempt to give the volunteer commanders the illusion of attacking Xishan Mountain. At the same time, the US 7th Division, South
A total of four battalions of each of the Ninth Division carried out diversionary attacks on Highland 391 in front of the Volunteer Army's 44th Division and 29th Division, the northwest mountain of Shangjiashan, the southern mountain of Zhicun, and the 419 Highland.
For a time, there was a storm from the Western Mountains to the Five Sacred Mountains.
Little did they know that on the night of the 8th, a reconnaissance squad of the Volunteer Army defending Highland 597.9 attacked Cangshan Mountain in Xiaganling, annihilated an enemy company, and stole important intelligence. Combined with the actions of the US military in recent days, it was basically determined that the enemy's attack target was Shangganling.
!
During the meeting, the enemy's artillery fire also fell on the northern mountains of 597.9 Highland and 537.9 Highland. The soldiers in the tunnel felt as if they were sitting in a drum. As the drum head was beaten, the sound in the tunnel continued to roar.
It was under such circumstances that some soldiers of the 9th Company were waiting in Tunnel No. 1.
The meeting went very smoothly. In his final summary, Instructor Lin said: "The battle will begin soon. We must resolutely implement the orders of our superiors and actively respond to the 'Hard Bones' activity. One person will sacrifice his life, but ten will be unable to stop it. Each row has its own
The squad should shoulder the responsibility and do ideological work well. Now is a special period. All soldiers in the company must be ready for battle at any time. They should not take off their clothes when sleeping, keep their guns in their hands, and go into battle anytime and anywhere!"
"yes!"
After the meeting, the platoon leaders quickly returned to their positions and called the squad leaders for a meeting.
"The battle is about to begin. Our superiors require us to hold on to our position. We must fight for every inch of ground. Position is everything. Holding our position is to defend our motherland!"
The fourth platoon leader said to the first squad leader: "First squad leader, please pay attention. There is a new soldier in your squad who is inexperienced on the battlefield and may be timid. Let other soldiers in the squad set an example for this recruit. When you find out
If he is timid or has errors in his thinking, do not criticize him. We should be tolerant enough to the new recruits and let the veterans in your class give him encouragement and confidence among each other!"
"In particular, we must put forward the slogan of taking Comrade Xia Yuan as an example and aiming to be a fighting hero in our own platoon, and actively respond to the challenge!"
"yes!"
Then the squad leaders of each class returned to the trenches where they were stationed, and started ideological activities with the class as a unit. The squad leader gathered everyone and said: "Comrades, the time has come when the motherland needs us. Behind us is us.
We are a country. Holding our position means that we have defended our country. If the enemy wants to board the position, he must ask whether the steel gun in our hands will answer. If the enemy wants to cross the Yalu River, he must first cross the Yalu River.
Let’s step on our corpses!”
"I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"
"Comrade Zhao Fengshou, you and Comrade Xia Yuan were recruits who joined the company at the same time! Comrade Xia Yuan can do it, and you can do it too! We must follow Comrade Xia Yuan's example, go to the battlefield for the first time, and not be afraid of strong enemies.
Dare to fight! Then we should do the same! Think about the fathers and fellow countrymen behind us, and the suffering we all suffered before the founding of New China! Resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea! Defend our homeland and country! If we don't fight this battle, the foreign devils will cross the March 8th Movement
Line, across the Yalu River, the country we have worked so hard to build will once again be filled with war! Do you want to see such a result!?"
The soldiers of the first squad held back their energy and shouted loudly under the roar of enemy artillery fire: "No hope!"
The squad leader raised his voice, "Yes, we can't let this scene happen in our country again, and we can't let our families be exposed to the brilliance of war! We can only fight back and kill the enemy like Comrade Xia Yuan did,
Only then can we defend our motherland, only then can we defend our country!"
"We must follow Comrade Xia Yuan as an example and learn from his daring and courageous behavior! We must also target those martyrs who sacrificed their lives heroically. Instead of writing a hero list, we will paint a martyrs' monument!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hold the position, defend our home! Even if it means death, we must not take a step back! Even if we die, we must stand proudly in our position.
superior!"
Zhao Fengshou held the gun, clenched his fists, and had a determined look on his face.
Every soldier was holding back a lot of energy in his heart, and secretly swore in his heart that when the foreign devils come up, they must look good to them!
This scene happened in every tunnel and in every company.
All companies and everyone are actively preparing for war. Various slogans are shouted in each company, platoon and squad, and quickly receive a positive response from the soldiers.
Xia Yuan also transferred out of the reconnaissance squad and returned to his second platoon stationed at Position No. 1. During the pre-war mobilization, Platoon Leader Sun also issued the slogan of following Comrade Xia Yuan as an example, learning from Comrade Xia Yuan's spirit, and serving the new recruits as
North Korea, he performed brilliantly in the first battle and won a great victory. In the second battle, he annihilated a company of US troops, which was unprecedented and unprecedented.
Even the commander of the 15th Army used the word "creating the world" to describe Xia Yuan's second battle, which created a model battle example for our army to win with less.
After Platoon Leader Sun delivered the slogan to each squad leader, they were responsible for conveying it to every soldier.
After Xia Yuan returned to the squad of the second platoon and the first squad, the soldiers of the first squad were very excited and looked forward to Xia Yuan's third battle to create another great story.
After Squad Leader Hu came back, he called the whole class to come over for a meeting. He said: "Everyone already knows the current situation. The enemy is going to launch an attack on the Shangganling area. If the enemy passes through Shangganling, it means that the road to our army has been opened.
The gate to the rear, our rear area will be lost! We can only resist the enemy's artillery fire and repel the enemy's attack!"
"We have finally built a country and are about to live a good life. The U.S. imperialists are so evil that they are trying to bring the war to the Yalu River and the Northeast. Think about how many North Koreans the U.S. military has destroyed along the way.
The people's homeland, how many wives and children have lost their husbands, how many children have lost their parents, think about the village we passed by, the child sat crying in front of the corpses of his parents, and behind him is the picture of the ruins of the village bombed by US military planes
, think again about the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation we have just experienced, think about what little Japan did on our land, think about how our families were persecuted by little Japan, and think about why you joined the army!"
"For food, for my family, for a better life! The country is established and good days are coming!"
"But if we lose and the US military reaches the Yalu River, our country will fall into war again. The scene of the child sitting in front of the corpses of his parents crying, with the ruins of the village bombed by US military planes behind him, will be staged again in our country!
"
"Are we going to let this happen in our country?"
The soldiers thought of their war-torn hometown, the millions of compatriots in that city, the babies picked up by Japanese devils with bayonets, and all the things that happened in the land they once loved most. They shed tears.
With tears in her eyes, she cried out: "Squad leader, I absolutely cannot let this scene happen in my hometown! I absolutely cannot! We must hold our position and drive away the foreign devils! We must defend our country! We must never let this happen again!"
The country has suffered the slightest harm!”
"Even if it means death, I will push back the foreign devils!"
They shouted those inspiring words with all their strength. It was precisely because they had been caught in the rain that they wanted to hold an umbrella for others.
Xia Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, was also in tears. The former volunteer soldiers held this belief and used their own flesh and blood to own aircraft, artillery, tanks and rockets, and the most powerful and advanced navy in the world.
The most powerful weapon in the world, nuclear weapons, was defeated by the US military.
Squad Leader Hu wiped the tears from his face and shouted: "So, even if we die, we must push the enemy back! Even if we die, we will never lose our position! Even if we die, we must fight to the death."
On our position!"
He showed a fierce look on his face and shouted: "Even if we die, we will use our corpses to hold back the enemy's progress!"
The artillery fire overhead was still roaring, and the enemy planes were still roaring.
But this did not intimidate the volunteer soldiers in the tunnel! They had been oppressed before, and now they finally stood up. How could they be willing to be oppressed again?
The greater the pressure, the greater the rebound force.
These pressures will eventually turn into endless fighting spirit and fight back fiercely to the enemy!
...
At the headquarters of the 235th Regiment, after hanging up the phone, the regiment leader convened a meeting of the entire regiment to discuss in detail the defense issues in the Shangganling area.
The division headquarters and military headquarters are also not idle. At this time, everyone knows what it means for the US military to move more frequently.
The enemy's war plan is most likely already in preparation, or will be underway soon.
At such a juncture, the 15th Army received an urgent message from Shisi: "Tell the comrades of the 15th Army not only to prepare carefully, but also to be prepared to pay a huge price. The Five Sacred Mountains are our barrier and must be firmly defended. The Military Headquarters will
Full support to you!”
In response to the enemy's imminent fierce attack on the Five Sacred Mountains, the 15th Army carried out a hard-core campaign of "One person will sacrifice his life, but ten people will be unable to stop" throughout the army. The front-line commanders and soldiers proposed that in the past, they swore to live and die with the position, but now they will not give up.
Half of the position is lost. If the position must be preserved, so must the people!
At the same time, the military department also affirmed and spoke highly of the "refueling tactics" submitted by the 45th Division.
"Limited by the Shangganling area, our army cannot launch a large-scale counterattack. If the enemy attempts to achieve brilliant results in Shangganling, our army will actively respond! No inch of land will be given away! Every inch of land must be fought for!"
From the 8th to the 12th, in just four days, from the army to the division, from the division to the regiment, from the regiment to the company, and from the company to the squad, they actively carried out hard-core activities. Volunteer Army commanders and soldiers called sticking to the Five Sacred Mountains 'the door to safeguarding peace'
, proposed that "the Five Sacred Mountains are connected to Peiping, and everyone strives to make great contributions", vowed to "not write a list of heroes, but paint a martyrs' monument", and determined to "consolidate the steel position, build heroic troops" and resolutely crush the enemy's offensive!
The tragic Battle of Shangganling is about to begin. The command post of the 15th Army is filled with large volumes of letters sent from the forward positions. In these letters, the commanders and soldiers guarding Shangganling unanimously report their preparations to their superiors and express their willingness to fight.
determination.
They reported on their accurate and thorough battle preparations in accordance with their superiors' battle plans, and shouted, "If we want to attack, we will attack wherever our superiors point us! If we want to defend, as long as we are alive, we will never give up our position to the enemy!"
The commanders and fighters who were not stationed in Shangganling wrote to the military headquarters to volunteer for combat, and put forward battle petitions to be transferred to the front line for combat. They rushed to become the Shangganling front reserve team, rushing to the front line battlefield at any time, and entering into battle at any time!
During this period, the entire Fifteenth Army had high morale and high morale. Everyone was proud to participate in the Shangganling battle!
The solemn oath of subordinate commanders and soldiers to enlist in the army to kill the enemy gave the commanders of the 15th Army great encouragement. They decided to command the battle well no matter what. Shiji even sent instructions: "Defend tenaciously, take the initiative, and fight for every inch of territory."
We must fight! To hold the position is to defend the motherland, to hold the position is to defend world peace!"
The deputy commander, deputy political commissar and chief of staff of the Third Corps also repeatedly demanded: "The battle on Shangganling must be fought well!" "The 45th Division is preparing to fight two US divisions, so it must defeat the US 7th Division!"
With such high fighting spirit, why worry about our army not being able to win!
The whole army is united and vows to fight the US military to the end!
