Seeing Xia Yuan, the platoon commander burst into tears and said tremblingly: "Captain Xia, all the soldiers have died."
As he spoke, he was bleeding from his body. The wound was too big and the bleeding couldn't be stopped at all.
Xia Yuan grabbed him, his eyes were red, and said: "I know, I know, stop talking, Hu Changdao, quickly bandage the wound of the platoon leader."
There was no bandage around him, so Hu Changdao quickly found a bag of rice to bandage him. While bandaging, he begged: "Platoon leader, please go down and recuperate for a few days. Come back when you are well."
The platoon leader looked at Xia Yuan, then at Hu Changdao, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a few words through his teeth, his voice trembling, "Camp Commander Xia, Comrade Changdao, I, I'm about to die..."
To...hold the position..."
After saying that, he stopped breathing.
Hu Changdao stared blankly at the platoon leader. The corpse in his hand was already stained with blood. Xia Yuan gently put the platoon leader's body aside, took a deep breath and said: "The enemy will ask for more later."
Attack, let's repair the fortifications quickly."
Hu Changdao nodded solemnly, glanced at the long row of corpses, and his eyes became more determined.
At this time, another gunshot was heard from the position. The two men ignored the digging of the cat's ear hole and quickly got out of the cat's ear hole with the grenades brought by the platoon leader. They saw a combat team's soldiers hedging.
The South Korean troops who came up opened fire. They saw Xia Yuan and Hu Changdao. A soldier said: "Captain Xia, have you seen our platoon leader?"
These three people were sent by the deputy platoon leader of the left wing to check the situation. As soon as they arrived on the right wing, they saw that there was not even a single person on the second position. Large numbers of South Korean troops surrounded them from the bottom of the mountain. They didn't care too much, and they immediately
Get into battle.
Xia Yuan fired eight shots at the enemy and said: "The platoon leader died!"
The three soldiers were stunned and turned to look at Xia Yuan and Hu Changdao who were shooting wildly at the enemy. Their eyes suddenly turned red and they were shooting wildly at the enemy.
After repelling an enemy attack, Xia Yuan left a box of grenades for the three of them and said, "I'll leave the second position to you. I'll take Hu Changdao back to the first position."
"yes!"
Xia Yuan and Hu Changdao quickly returned to the front battlefield of position No. 1. The communications soldier was still fighting, but his right arm was already wounded. Hu Xiudao bandaged it for him and said: "Comrade, you go down first. We will hand over here."
Give it to me and the battalion commander."
The correspondent did not hesitate too much, gave instructions and evacuated quickly. He still had important information to pass to the rear.
After repeated attacks failed, the inexperienced enemies of Guizhou mobilized more than twenty tanks, drove into the ravine below the high ground, and used direct fire to bombard the big rock on position No. 1. They also knew that the volunteer soldiers on the mountain were relying on the big rock to resist the attack.
As the soldiers attacked, judging from the intensity of the firepower, they seemed to be trying to uproot it.
Xia Yuan and Hu Changdao huddled behind a big rock. Tank shells kept falling on the rock, making their ears buzz.
"Attention! We spotted the plane head on!" Xia Yuan shouted.
Hu Changdao covered the sun with his hands and looked up. A U.S. military F-84 "Yubaozi" rushed down. The bullets sprayed down like water, whizzing past his head, bringing up a strong gust of wind, and the mountain top was blown away.
The dust rose up and covered the two of them, making them unable to open their eyes.
Hu Changdao turned his back and rubbed his eyes. Suddenly he heard the familiar scream above his head, like a group of grasshoppers fluttering their wings and flying over. He hurriedly lay on the stone to watch. Black smoke rose from the ravine and rushed up.
In the sky, the group of tanks looked like frightened turtles, fleeing in all directions in the smoke.
When Hu Changdao saw it, he shouted excitedly: "Batalion Commander, have you seen it? The howitzers of our Volunteer Army are the most powerful!"
However, the US military fighter jets were too rampant. As soon as one passed by, another one swooped down, almost touching the top of the mountain, roaring past. Hu Changdao was so angry that he turned over and sat up. He grabbed an automatic rifle and aimed at the plane.
The bullet had not yet rushed out of the gun barrel, but the plane suddenly flashed red and exploded into a ball of fire in mid-air. It exploded into pieces, and the smoking debris was scattered everywhere, like a fireball.
They were scattered on the battlefield like falling meteorites.
Hu Changdao asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why did it suddenly explode?"
Xia Yuan stared at the broken wreckage of the plane and said: "The enemy's plane hit a howitzer shell."
Howitzers streaked across the position in the sky and landed on the enemy's tank formation. The enemy's aircraft was also arrogant and even tried to fly over the position. In a desperate move, it was hit by a howitzer shell and exploded instantly.
Xia Yuan looked away and found that there was not much ammunition hidden under the stone. Looking around, Xia Yuan immediately said: "Stop looking and collect the ammunition quickly!"
Hu Chang said "Hey" and quickly collected the weapons and ammunition scattered on the position. Unfortunately, the amount of ammunition was not large. Before they could collect much ammunition, the enemy attacked the mountain like locusts. Although it was the first time they went up.
The battlefield, but he also experienced large and small battles, and became a qualified volunteer soldier. Facing another enemy attack, he calmly threw grenades to the enemies down the mountain, but the enemies all over the mountains and plains were very difficult.
It is difficult to destroy them with grenades.
After throwing the grenade, he took out his gun and shot at the enemy.
Xia Yuan relied on the ammunition he had touched from the enemy to shoot at the enemy. As the gunshots rang out, one enemy after another fell down on the road of attack. The bullets penetrated the enemy's body and penetrated their body armor.
.
At the critical moment, artillery support from the volunteers arrived just in time and blossomed among the enemy groups.
The battle lasted until dusk. After a day of continuous fighting, both of them were exhausted and had very little ammunition left. They retreated to the tunnel and sat on the ground to rest. The transporters braved the enemy's artillery fire to deliver baskets of ammunition.
Enter the tunnel.
The deputy platoon leader came down with his men. After a day of fierce fighting, only one platoon of soldiers was left who could fight.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xia Yuan said: "In the next battle, we need to bring the lightly wounded."
The deputy platoon leader nodded, thought for a long time, raised his head and looked at Xia Yuan, and said, "Camp Commander Xia, you make the arrangements."
The first platoon leader has been sacrificed, and almost all the soldiers in position 2 have been sacrificed. Only a group of remnants of them in position 1 are left.
Xia Yuan called a few lightly wounded soldiers who could continue fighting to form a squad, and said: "I will lead this squad to hold on to the left wing. You move to the right wing and just look at the right wing. There is a stone in the middle position as a cover. Yi
If it is difficult to defend, just put a combat team on it."
The platoon leader nodded.
Before they could rest for long, the observer ran down and said, "Battalion Commander, the enemy is here again."
Xia Yuan shouted, "Act now!"
The soldiers packed up their equipment and set out for position one.
The artillery fire of the volunteer soldiers is already in place, and they can completely get rid of the tunnel movement and fight the enemy on the position. When the enemy's artillery is bombarding us, our artillery is also bombarding them.
This is a cruel meat grinder, it depends on who can grind more meat.
It is obvious that the enemy's casualties are much higher than those of the volunteer army.
The battle at night became more intense. The enemy took advantage of the darkness to counterattack towards the top of the mountain. The soldiers rose up to resist. After a night of fighting, more than 20 enemy attacks were repelled. The volunteer soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. In the second half of the night, the commander of the third company led the reserve platoon.
Joined the battle at Position 1, and after paying huge casualties, successfully persisted until dawn.
At this stage, there is no longer just one Han Second Division.
The troops mobilized by the US military include the 7th US Division, the 187th Airborne Regiment, the 2nd and 9th Divisions of the South Korean Army, the Ethiopian Battalion, and the Colombian Battalion. Like a wheel battle, they launched a fierce attack on the 537.7 heights of Shangganling.
Day or night, this is undoubtedly a life-and-death battle for the troops stationed on Shangganling.
The night passed in a difficult battle, and the arrival of day revealed another side. The volunteers, who had lost the support of the night, were exposed on the ridge. They fought from night to early morning. The enemy had no intention of letting go of 537.7 Highlands.
After the volunteers on the high ground rested, the enemy counterattacked again at Shangganling.
At this time, only Xia Yuan and a dozen soldiers led by the third company commander were left on the No. 1 position. Xia Yuan, himself and Hu Changdao, divided the people into four combat groups, and the third company commander Zeng Yunqing led two combat groups to guard the position.
On the left, Xia Yuan led two combat groups to guard the right. Wave after wave of enemy charges were repelled by the soldiers. After being repelled, Xia Yuan immediately organized the soldiers to pick up the enemy's weapons.
Weapons and equipment, when the enemy saw the volunteer soldiers jumping out of the bunker, they used artillery to bombard the volunteer soldiers who were picking up ammunition.
The soldiers who came out to pick up ammunition also made the enemy realize that the volunteers stationed at position No. 1 were almost out of ammunition and food. After the bombardment, they organized troops again to launch a fierce attack on the mountain. Due to the lack of ammunition,
The soldiers were beaten by the enemy and retreated to the tunnel. After replenishing ammunition in the tunnel, before the enemy could gain a firm foothold on the position, the volunteers' artillery fire came over to support them, and continuous explosions came from the position.
After the bombardment ended, he led two combat groups of soldiers to attack and drive the enemy from their position again.
Such repeated tug-of-wars have been going on for two days. The mountain top is filled with the choking smell of gunpowder, and the soldiers are covered in mud mixed with sweat and soil. They haven't had a sip of water or a morsel of food for two days and a night, but they are fighting each other.
Encouraged, everyone was talking and laughing, and some even hummed tunes from their hometown, showing lively emotions.
Xia Yuan picked up four hard steamed buns from the battlefield and was as excited as if he had picked up a treasure. There were five people in the class. He was very happy to eat one, and each of the others had one. This was a delicious meal for them for more than two days.
The six people sat in the dug trench, chatting about things from all over the world, eating steamed buns and talking about their famous hometown dishes. The soldiers had a great appetite.
At dusk, the golden sunset falls on the mountain tops, casting a layer of glow over the hazy smoke.
A soldier held a gun, looked at the clouds covered with golden glow in the sky, and said, "It's so beautiful."
Another soldier bit into the hard steamed bun and said, "Yes, it's so beautiful. It looks like the sky in our home. Standing on the mountain and looking at the sky in the distance."
He thought of his hometown and the folks in his hometown.
The glow fell on Xia Yuan's face, which had already been turned black by gunpowder smoke. There was a bandage wrapped around his arm. He raised his head and looked at the dusk in front of him.
"It's a lot like winter back home."
During the Chinese New Year, facing the white snow and the golden sunshine shining on the white snow, this scene is so familiar.
The soldiers stared intently at the golden dusk in front of them, with smiles on their faces.
Yes, it's a lot like winter in my hometown.
A soldier said firmly: "We must hold our position and our home!"
It was getting dark, and the counterattack artillery fire roared above their heads and flew towards the enemy's position. This was their own artillery fire, their own counterattack artillery fire. The soldiers who stood on the No. 1 position excitedly jumped out of the fortifications and stood on the top of the hill.
The machine guns were set up, and the comrades who covered the counterattack charged forward. The explosions of grenades gradually moved forward, and the counterattack troops once again drove out the enemies in the front position.
A platoon of soldiers always held fast to position No. 1, allowing the counterattack force to successfully regain the position. In two days of fierce fighting, they killed more than 900 enemies and achieved a major victory.
After the enemy suffered a heavy blow, they quickly assembled some of their forces. Under the cover of artillery and aviation firepower, they launched continuous violent counterattacks. The counterattack troops fought bloody battles with the enemy and held on tenaciously. The pressure undoubtedly fell on Xia Yuanhe and the first company.
Chang Zeng Yunqing, the No. 1 position on the left flank of Beishan Mountain in the 537.7 Highland that they were holding on to. This position was a key target of the enemy. Both the geographical advantage and the terrain were very unfavorable to the 'United Nations Army', so they fought tooth and nail to fight for it.
it.
As soon as the volunteer soldiers entered the position, it was like entering a sea of smoke and fire. The enemy roared up again and again, and was beaten repeatedly by the soldiers of only one squad on the hilltop who rolled down the mountain like ghosts and howls. A multi-company team
The enemy came up again. Company Commander Zeng Yunqing raised his hand to throw a grenade. A bullet penetrated his right wrist, causing blood to flow. He could no longer move his right hand, and it was inconvenient to throw a grenade with his left hand, so he held a blasting tube and rushed towards it.
When he was ten meters away from the enemy, he used all his strength to push forward. There was a loud noise, smoke filled the air, and the blasting tube blew up a lot of enemies.
Zeng Yunqing quickly withdrew from the fortifications, but an enemy artillery shell wounded him again. The soldiers cried and asked him to retreat to the tunnel. Zeng Yunqing said: "I can still hold on, don't worry about me, go and fight the enemy. You must
Hold your ground!"
The soldiers fought with the enemy with tears in their eyes one by one.
New changes were taking place on the position all the time. Enemies were wiped out in droves, and the counterattack force also paid a heavy price. The company commander of the counterattack force was sacrificed, and then the acting commander of the division commander also died.
The situation is very urgent.
A soldier climbed into the tunnel and said, "The company commander died on the position. Let's prepare grenades quickly..."
