The correspondent came to Xia Yuan with boiled water and whispered.
Xia Yuan opened his eyes, looked at the unclean water in the teapot, took a sip, moistened his chapped lips, closed his eyes again and said, "Let the wounded drink some."
The correspondent said: "Company Commander Xia, the instructor has arranged for the wounded to have hot water in the next pot. You have gone through two days of fighting and have barely drunk any water. The instructor told Captain Dai to ask you to replenish it."
He added: "Besides, the battle has not yet been won, and the body cannot collapse first."
Xia Yuan opened his eyes, drank some in small sips, and said: "Let the other warriors drink some too, and add more. When the battle has progressed to this point, all resources must be equally distributed to each warrior. No special arrangements can be made."
.”
A seriously wounded man said: "Captain Xia, just drink more. We are no longer capable of continuing to fight. If you don't drink more, we will feel uncomfortable while drinking."
"Yes, Captain Xia, you can drink some more and don't worry about us."
"We can still hold on."
The other injured people spoke one after another, urging Xia Yuan to drink more.
Xia Yuan was filled with emotion and said, "Then I will drink some more, and you can drink the rest."
"Why."
Xia Yuan held the hot water, took two small sips, and handed the teapot to the seriously injured person beside him. The seriously injured person took the teapot, took a small sip, and handed it to the person next to him, turning it around in a circle.
When he arrived next to him, there was still a lot of water left in the teapot-sized cup.
He was even more moved. Although there was water in the tunnel, it was not enough for the soldiers to drink at will. All supplies were strictly controlled. Now that the enemy had blocked the rear, supplies could not come up. The supplies in the tunnel were but
They are very precious, especially the canned materials seized from the US military, which are even more precious.
Xia Yuan looked at the dark night outside the tunnel, and the enemy's searchlight swept over the mountain from time to time. He thought carefully, handed the tea jar to the correspondent, and said in a commanding tone: "Let the wounded drink this jar of tea. This is
Order!"
He picked up the gun, stood up, found Captain Dai and the instructor who were getting water, and said: "Captain Dai, instructor, I am preparing for night operations!"
"Night combat?"
The two of them put down what they were doing and raised their heads with surprised expressions on their faces.
Captain Dai asked: "Captain Xia, do you already have a plan of action in mind? It's just that there are not many soldiers capable of fighting in the tunnel at present. Positional operations are already very difficult. Night operations are likely to result in more soldiers being sacrificed. At present,
We should wait for reinforcements from the rear to arrive."
Xia Yuan sat down on the ground, "The enemy's actions are very fierce during the day, but at night, their offensive efficiency will be greatly reduced. Not only the offensive efficiency, but even the combat effectiveness is reduced a lot, and at night our army's
At home, I plan to penetrate behind enemy lines to see if I can find opportunities behind them."
The instructor said: "No, this is too risky. Captain Xia, I can understand your desire to kill the enemy, but the danger of this matter is too high. You need to think carefully about it."
"Instructor, I was able to lead the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad to annihilate an enemy reconnaissance company. Naturally, I can lead the soldiers back from behind enemy lines."
Xia Yuan said seriously: "We should give full play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. Otherwise, our small number of people will not be enough to fight."
The battle on the 19th day alone had already exhausted the soldiers of the Eighth Company in the tunnel. Moreover, with him still present, judging from the enemy's offensive today, if he had not been there, the No. 1 position would have been very strong.
It may have been lost.
Judging from the documents sent from the regiment headquarters, most of the positions on the 597.9 highland of Shangganling have been lost. Soldiers in other tunnels are constantly organizing counterattacks at night, launching attacks on the lost highlands of Shangganling. The enemy's heavy machine guns are firing
The sound still echoed across the valley, accompanied by the sound of large-caliber artillery shells exploding, intertwined and floating in the sky above the valley.
Captain Dai thought seriously, "Instructor, what Xia Yuanshang said is not entirely unreasonable. Position No. 1 was barely held, but other positions are still in a state of fall. If we can use Position No. 1 to reinforce other positions, it may be a good idea.
Good thing."
Immediately, he became troubled again, "But now that the soldiers in the tunnels have been injured, their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. It is not easy to reinforce other tunnels."
Xia Yuan thought about it and said, "Instructor, leave this matter to me!"
Instructor: "Captain Xia, this is not a child's play, what if..."
Xia Yuandao: "Instructor, there is no battle without casualties. I will die, but I don't know how useful I can be before I die. Staying in the tunnel is just a later sacrifice.
"
Lien-chang Dai sighed: "We will survive, and we will persevere until the day of victory."
Xia Yuan's eyes were distant: "I hope so."
"Then let's discuss the battle plan at night." The instructor agreed to Xia Yuan's proposal. As Xia Yuan said, there is no way to fight without sacrifice. If they don't sacrifice now, it will only be a matter of time. When they are needed, they will
I will stand up resolutely.
"This matter is all mine. Plans cannot keep up with changes. No matter how good the plan is, there will be mistakes once it is put into action."
Xia Yuan touched the gun in his hand and said with firm eyes, "Captain Dai, instructor, I will be back before dawn."
After saying that, he carried the gun and came to the ammunition supply point. Wang Lan was not asleep yet and was counting the number of medicines. After counting, a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
Xia Yuan walked in, put grenades on himself, filled his bullet bag, and picked a brand new Garand rifle to carry behind his back.
When Wang Lan saw this, he asked: "Company Commander Xia, are you planning to go out?"
Xia Yuan nodded: "I'm going to see the situation in other positions, and by the way, I'll feel the enemy's defenses at the bottom of the mountain."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Lan said: "Company Commander Xia, there are not many medicines in the tunnel. The foreigners' medicine is almost used up, and the soldiers' injuries are not healed yet.
Don't stop taking the medicine. If you see a foreign health worker, kill him and take the medicine away from him."
Xia Yuan agreed without thinking. This was not a problem for him.
The front tunnel nearly collapsed after experiencing the enemy's bombing. Fortunately, the soldiers repaired it in a very timely manner. Some lightly wounded soldiers fully joined the rescue effort to repair the tunnel. After clearing the tunnel, they dug on the No. 1 position.
A series of trenches and communication ditches were built.
As the fighting in other positions continued, the enemy's artillery did not fire on Shangganling, which gave Position No. 1 a little breathing time.
Just after leaving the tunnel entrance, you can hear bursts of gunfire from the ridges on both sides, and you can even see the enemy's bullets forming long chains of fire, hitting the mountain on the opposite side. It is particularly spectacular.
A chain of fiery red fire seemed to pierce the night.
The soldiers in the tunnel are fighting bravely and tenaciously against the enemy.
Xia Yuan took a look from afar. With the help of his powerful night vision and eagle eyes, through the hazy gunpowder smoke, the situation on position 8 was clear at a glance. "The attack on the position is a bit of a temporary solution but not the root cause."
Xia Yuan looked down the mountain. Under night vision, the entire Shangganling Mountains looked like day. Among the rocky mountain cols, the enemy's logistics troops were transporting boxes one by one to the mountain. Those were the enemy's logistics supply teams.
After the enemy captures the position, they will contact the rear and deliver supplies to the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Yuan made a choice to cut off the supply line of the enemy's No. 8 position and seize the enemy's supplies.
There was only one platoon of logistical supplies transported by the enemy to the mountain. More than thirty people carried or carried large boxes. Needless to say, they contained supplies for the garrison on the mountain. Xia Yuan looked at it with hot eyes.
The conditions for foreigners have become increasingly difficult, while the conditions for foreigners have not only not diminished, but have become more abundant.
"First destroy the enemy's material team, and then move to the No. 8 position to assist the soldiers in the No. 8 tunnel to complete the counterattack."
Xia Yuan's eyes moved, and he carefully approached the enemy's logistics and transportation troops with his gun in hand.
In fact, the enemy has more than one logistics transport force. After occupying some of the highlands in Shangganling, the US military transported weapons, ammunition, medicine and food to the troops that had already occupied the highlands. As the volunteers continued to harass and attack, the enemy's supplies on the surface positions were
Consumption and wounded people are increasing continuously, and it is impossible to transport them down the mountain in a short time. They can only transport some medicines to the mountain first.
Due to sufficient weapons and ammunition, the average number of weapons and ammunition consumed by the foreign devils per person is three to four times that of the volunteer soldiers, especially ammunition for heavy machine guns. Most of the foreign devils can defend the Shangganling position by relying on the Shangganling position.
The machine gun bunker was constantly firing, and the foreign devils did not know how to cherish ammunition. The machine gun continuously sprayed flames. This was undoubtedly a huge consumption of ammunition for the heavy machine gun.
"Shit! Do the people on the mountain eat shit? I've already sent this three times!"
In the logistics unit, a foreign soldier complained that he heard the unique sound of their heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain echoing in the valley, and the crisp explosions of the 60-gun cannon continued. He secretly cursed the front line for consuming ammunition.
The speed was so fast that he didn't even have time to rest.
"Calm down, man, for the sake of taking the Triangular Mountain, for the victory of the battle, for the sake of us being able to go home early, just bear with it."
A soldier comforted him by saying that the box he was carrying was very heavy and contained the shells needed for 60 mortars. He kept breathing while speaking.
The lieutenant laughed heartily, "Onis is right. When the battle is over, we can go home. Don't you miss your relatives..."
Whoosh, a bullet suddenly shot over. The lieutenant's voice stopped abruptly, and his body fell heavily to the ground. A group of big-headed soldiers stared at this scene in stunned silence. Only when they heard that the gunfire came from a distance did they suddenly wake up.
, immediately threw the box in his hand on the ground and looked for cover.
The bullets whizzed through and hit the bodies of each of the big-headed soldiers accurately. They seemed to have been struck by a whip, their bodies trembled and they fell heavily to the ground.
Gunshots were heard from afar.
"Fuck! The enemy is in the southeast! Shoot!" the adjutant shouted, picking up the gun and pulling the trigger in the direction of the gunfire. The bullets whizzed through the mountains, but they didn't know where they were shot. In fact, they even
None of the enemies saw it.
More than twenty soldiers quickly pulled the triggers, and the submachine guns burst into flames.
Swish, swish, swish... Bullets suddenly fired from another direction, hitting the foreign Japanese lying on the ground. Some of them were killed with one shot, and some of them let out a burst of screams. Only then did they hear the sound of gunfire spreading,
And the sound changed direction again.
In a short period of time, 11 soldiers died in the hands of five soldiers, including their lieutenant who was also killed by the enemy. The adjutant instantly lost the intention to fight and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"
The U.S. military's logistics troops are quite timid. They don't like killing enemies on the battlefield. If they can be lazy, they will never rush to work. If it weren't for the soldiers on the high ground who needed supplies this time, and the airdrops couldn't be delivered accurately after dark, who would
I am willing to deliver supplies to the garrison on the mountain at night. After all, the Volunteer Army is known as the ghost in the night. Many convoys have been attacked by the Volunteer Army in the dark night. Many logistics soldiers have left a shadow and are unwilling to deliver supplies at night.
.
No, thinking that the high ground had already been occupied, I made an exception and sent him there. I didn't expect to encounter the volunteers so soon.
And when they met, they were killed by more than a dozen soldiers, and half of them were casualties in one fell swoop. How could the already frightened foreign devils dare to stay here? They didn't even care about the supplies on the ground, and ran away from the mountain with their guns in hand dragging the wounded.
Come down.
At this time, Xia Yuan was still taking a circuitous route. When he reached a shooting point and looked again, he saw that the enemy had left more than twenty boxes of supplies, but all of them had escaped.
One thing to say is that this group of foreign devils is quite loyal. From the battle at Changjin Lake to the present, he has seen too many scenes of foreign devils failing to attack and leaving the wounded behind to escape. Although this group of foreign devils are timid, they also know how to carry the wounded with them.
.
Xia Yuan put away his gun in a funny manner. He thought it would be a thrilling battle, but unexpectedly he fired sixteen bullets and beat the enemy away.
He glanced at the top of the mountain. The movement here did not attract the enemy. The front line was fighting happily. Even if he noticed it, looking down from the mountain, it was so dark that not even a single person could be seen. There was a high probability that he would think it was a ghost.
.
Xia Yuan quickly ran down without even looking at what was in the box. He hid the box in a ditch and quickly reached the top of the mountain with his gun in hand.
The number of foreign devils on position 8 is about one battalion. The troops in the tunnel are not enough to repel the enemies on the mountain. What can be done is to continuously use small groups of troops to harass. If we don't sleep, you can't sleep either.
good.
The soldiers in Tunnel No. 8 were the soldiers who had seen the second platoon of the Eighth Company before. After the counterattack on the night of the 17th, the soldiers of the second platoon suffered heavy casualties, and position No. 8 was lost the fastest.
There were seven wounded in the tunnel, and there were only four soldiers left who could fight, one squad leader and three ordinary soldiers. Under the arrangement of the squad leader, one soldier was left to guard the tunnel, and he led two soldiers to fight against No. 8.
The U.S. troops on the position carried out harassment.
