The victory of this battle was closely related to the terrain, and also closely related to the carelessness of the American devils. There was only a small road, with mountains on one side and ditches on the other. The two tanks in front and behind were knocked out.
The American tanks cannot move, so they are living targets.
The Volunteer Army Headquarters called to ask about the battle situation of the 538th Regiment. The regiment chief of staff wrote a written material and reported it to the headquarters. The Volunteer Army Headquarters wanted to publicize this battle example to the entire army and asked everyone to learn from the 180th Division. Learning to fight tanks is not only necessary.
For a reckless charge, you need to use your brain and learn to take advantage of the terrain.
The commander of the 180th Division, Deputy Commander Duan, said: "Commander, although all regiments are making good progress, I think we should withdraw the 1st Battalion of the 538th Regiment, which is currently farthest from us.
After the first battalion annihilated an enemy infantry battalion, it suffered heavy casualties. On the other hand, if something happened, it would be difficult to control the troops."
Deputy Commander Duan's worries were roughly the same as Commander Zheng's previous premonition. The first battalion, which had experienced a great victory, forgot its own casualties and marched forward triumphantly. In just one day, it had several encounters with the US military in the Tongguli area, resulting in casualties.
Not exactly the same.
According to the news passed by the First Battalion, the First Company's combat effectiveness is very strong, and every task assigned can be successfully completed. Its First Company Commander Lei Xueming is a talented person in commanding battles. Their company has a First Platoon Commander with strong combat effectiveness. I heard that
During the critical battle, I used a big 8-pellet to destroy several American bunkers. I could throw an anti-tank grenade more than 30 meters away and blew up the enemy's tanks. It was even easier to charge.
.
Dare to fight and dare to fight.
Such talents should be transferred back.
Master Zheng glanced at him, moved his lips but said nothing.
Director Wu said: "All the troops are fighting well now. If you ask the first battalion to withdraw from Tongguli now, they may not be able to change their minds."
Deputy Commander Duan said: "You have to turn around even if you can't turn around. Although the first battalion fought well, they dared to fight and fight hard, especially the first company. It is worthy of being a sharp knife company. It has strong attack ability and strong combat effectiveness. The mission was successfully completed. I sent it back from the front.
I have also seen the situation, but this does not seem like the enemy's normal situation. Whether it is the eastern front or our frontal battlefield, some US military positions only retreated in an orderly manner after a symbolic counterattack. If this is a conspiracy, we are now
If we don't retreat, we are very likely to be surrounded by the enemy."
Deputy Commander Duan's concerns are justified.
At present, the corps commander has used all the remaining two divisions of the 60th Army to fight on the eastern front of the third corps. There are already tens of thousands of people on both sides of the enemy and us mixed together on the eastern front. If the situation of our army on the eastern front is good, the enemy will
Reinforcements must be sent to join, and they must pass through the territory of the 180th Division. The strength of just one division may not be able to withstand an enemy several times larger.
The most critical point is that the 1st Battalion of the 538th Regiment and the 2nd Battalion of the 539th Regiment assisted the large corps in the Tongguli direction. Several large gaps suddenly appeared in the central front that was already empty of troops.
At this time, the large army on the left was encircling and annihilating the enemy in Hanxi, about ten kilometers away from the 180th Division. Although the 63rd Army on the right had crossed the Beihan River, it was far away from the 180th Division.
A huge gap appeared at the junction between the 3rd Corps and the 19th Corps. However, the US 7th Division retreated relatively quickly, and they did not discover this huge gap.
There is only one 180th Division under the 60th Army, which is completely unable to defend the entire central front. This gap is bound to become a fatal loophole, but there is no way to plug this loophole, so we can only let it sit there.
Commander Zheng said: "Long Zhang, your worries are justified. You must explain this matter clearly to the commanders of each regiment. In addition, after the first battalion is withdrawn, the second battalion will be sent over and the first battalion will take over from the second battalion.
The mission is to go to Highland 336."
Highland 336 is in a state of no-strength attack. The Second Battalion has completed its task relatively satisfactorily. It takes over from the First Battalion to continue searching the Tongguli area. The Sharp Knife Company of the First Battalion is very suitable for attacking Highland 336.
Director Wu said: "Highland 336 has steep mountains and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. One enemy battalion was stationed on this highland alone. The second battalion fought all night but failed to capture it, causing heavy casualties.
Wouldn’t it be bad if we sent a battalion to fight?”
Commander Zheng pondered: "On the first night, one battalion and one company destroyed three enemy highlands with one company's strength. The one battalion, one company and one platoon leader were even able to destroy the US military bunkers with semi-automatic rifles from the US military. And these three
There is a battalion of enemy troops stationed on the high ground, and no one is more suitable than them for the offensive, so let them try."
Director Wu thought about it carefully and asked again: "Do you need to add more people to the first battalion?"
Commander Zheng said: "Where is there anyone? Our 60th Army only has the 180th Division left, the division headquarters has only one guard platoon left, and the military headquarters has only one engineering company left. Everyone who can be sent has been sent out, and there is no one left."
To supply the first battalion, we can only wait until the battle is over and then find a way to replenish the first battalion with manpower."
The division headquarters is now also facing a shortage of manpower. All those who can be sent out have been sent out to assist logistics in transporting weapons, ammunition and food. However, as the fighting time continues to advance, the front line is consuming food and ammunition at a rate that logistics cannot keep up with.
Sooner or later, food and ammunition will run out.
Deputy Division Commander Duan immediately wrote a letter to the 1st Battalion of the 538th Regiment, ordering the 1st Battalion of the 538th Regiment to withdraw from the Tongguli battle, take over the tasks of the 2nd Battalion, and attack the 336th Highland.
It was already half a day later and late at night when the first battalion received the letter.
The moonlight is bright and clear.
They were launching an attack on the enemy on a hilltop, and broke through to the enemy's forward position. Xia Yuan led a platoon to rush in from behind the enemy. The platoon of soldiers fought bloody and courageous, and penetrated through the forward position and penetrated directly into the enemy's rear.
on the artillery position.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The second and third rows feigned a frontal attack. When they heard the explosion from the enemy's rear, Ma Daguo was overjoyed as he was suppressed by the enemy's machine gun fire bunker and could not lift his head.
: "Hahaha, it must be Lao Xia, it must be, wait, foreign devils, grandpa will give you peanuts later."
As one platoon penetrated behind the enemy, the enemy's defense on this hilltop instantly collapsed. The pressure on the second and third rows in the front dropped sharply. As the whistle sounded, the soldiers jumped out of the trench and rushed towards the enemy's position. Three three one
Groups alternately jumped forward. The enemy was no match for the volunteers. They were beaten and fled. The fleeing figures of American troops could be seen everywhere on the position. The soldiers became more and more courageous as they fought. They chased the American devils and beat them. The sound of gunfire and artillery continued.
When they fell on the position, the bodies of American soldiers were everywhere, and the impact points caused by the explosion after the shells fell were everywhere.
The American enemy's bunkers have all been destroyed, and the enemy's defenses on the position are in a shambles.
Such a highland battle with no terrain advantages showed a complete crushing trend for the company. Captain Lei said: "I have never discovered that Xia Yuan has the ability to intersect before. Let him attack difficulties and he is overqualified. He can completely rely on a platoon of troops."
Intersperse, frontal containment, and if one row of intersperses is successful, the frontal pressure will be reduced a lot."
Instructor Shao said with a smile: "When Xia Yuan attacked Highland 311, he shot and killed the U.S. troops in the bunker with big eight pills. Whether it was attacking or inserting, this guy has some skills. With him here, our task of attacking is indeed
It has become a lot easier. At least there is no need to organize a demolition team to blow up the US military bunker. We can rely on Xia Yuan to shoot and kill the US troops in the bunker, which can greatly reduce the casualties of our company."
Captain Lei nodded and said: "Xia Yuan has become a lot more stable now and is no longer the same as before. This is a good thing. After this battle is over, their achievements must be recorded and reported to the division headquarters.
"
Instructor Shao said: "Don't worry, I have already started recording."
The communications soldier from the battalion headquarters ran over and said, "Company Commander Lei, Instructor Shao, the battalion headquarters is holding a meeting, asking you to return to the team with the first company after the battle is over."
Instructor Shao nodded: "Okay, the battle is basically over. Tell the platoon leader and let him lead his people to clean the battlefield. Let's go back to the battalion headquarters first. After they finish cleaning the battlefield, we will let them come back."
On the position, the communications soldier ran over and shouted: "Platoon commander, the company commander asked you to clean the battlefield. After cleaning the battlefield, return to the battalion headquarters."
Xia Yuan had a bunch of bullet bags hanging on his body and was bending over to take off an American soldier's clothes. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and shouted: "I know."
He also ordered the soldiers in the platoon: "Pick up weapons, ammunition and food, but don't pick up helmets. Those things are not bulletproof. They will still be knocked down with one shot. They may be shot by friendly forces as enemies. Take off the warm clothes inside."
Now, put it on."
"Platoon leader, platoon leader, look what I picked up."
Wang Xiaoliang ran over excitedly holding a box.
"Hey, the American cans are quite good. Find more and take them away. These things are more expensive than weapons and ammunition."
Xia Yuan took out a box of cans. There was a key to open the can on the lid of the can. The lock was on the side of the can. With the key, you could easily open the can without having to effortlessly remove the can.
After opening the lid, Xia Yuan grinned: "This is the C-type breakfast for the US military field infantry."
After opening the lid, there is a small box of Nice coffee packaged in aluminum on the top. There are three sugar cubes below, one white paper package and two yellow paper packages. These are two sugar cubes with different flavors. There are also three sugar cubes next to it.
A piece of fruit candy, wrapped in transparent plastic, two pieces of yellow candy and one piece of green candy. Putting the candy and sugar cubes into his pocket, Xia Yuan opened one and put it in his mouth to chew.
It was sweet and delicious. Xia Yuan threw one to Wang Xiaoliang and said, "Have a try."
Wang Xiaoliang held it in his hand, looked at it, and said to Xia Yuan: "Platoon leader, the wrapping of this thing is really nice."
After he tore off the outer wrapping paper, he licked it with his tongue and said, "It's still sweet."
After sweetening it for a few more times, until the candy wrapper lost its taste, I put it in my pocket, put the candy in my mouth, and a happy smile appeared on my face that was darkened by the gunfire: "It's so sweet."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Look for it again. These cans will be brought back to the camp headquarters later and can provide nutritional supplements to the wounded."
"Why!"
Wang Xiaoliang happily left with candy in his mouth.
Xia Yuan looked at the can in his hand, took off the oil paper separating the candies and food, and placed four biscuits underneath. He lowered his head and looked in the box again, and saw that there was an accessory bag next to the can, with "Cleaning" printed on the back.
Instructions for using water tablets, he picked one up and tore it open.
He took out a small box of Chesterfield cigarettes, only the size of two fingers. In order to prevent moisture, it was also wrapped with a layer of cellophane. Xia Yuan sighed: "The breakfasts of these American devils are so luxurious."
He put the cigarette in his pocket and continued to explore. Inside was a small piece of Wrigley gum, which contained corn syrup softener and flavoring. There was also a pack of Waldorf toilet paper, manufactured by Scott Paper Company specifically for the military.
, used to wipe buttocks.
Finally, there is a small piece of matches and a bottle of twelve water purification tablets. They are both mini-shaped to save space. There are also tips on how to prevent malaria printed on the back of the small piece of matches.
Apart from that, there was nothing else. After putting the things away, Xia Yuan opened the cigarette. There were nine cigarettes inside. He put them neatly. He took out one and put it in his mouth. He opened a small match and struck one.
A weak flame ignited, he took a sip forcefully, exhaled comfortably, flicked it casually, and threw the match away when it went out.
The big guy came over and said, "What are you doing? Look what I captured."
He was holding several intact Thomsons in his arms, with grenades and bullets from the US military hanging on his body. When he saw Xia Yuan sitting on a rock, smoking a cigarette leisurely, he walked over and couldn't help but said: "Where are they from?"
of?"
"I opened one of the cans captured by the US military that Comrade Wang Xiaoliang in our platoon wanted to smoke."
Xia Yuan held the cigarette in one hand, exhaled a long stream of white mist from his mouth, squinted his eyes, reached into his pocket with the other hand, took out a piece of candy and threw it to Big Man Ma, who put the gun on the ground and held it
That piece of candy, "Isn't this candy?"
"Taste it."
Big Ma opened it, put it in his mouth and chewed it: "It's so sweet, do you have any more?"
"And three sugar cubes."
Xia Yuan put the cigarette on his mouth and took out three sugar cubes from his pocket. "When you are making fried noodles, throw one in. The batter will become very sweet. Take it."
The big man stepped forward and grinned: "You still know how to eat."
He looked at the cans on the ground and said, "It's just these cans. It's not enough. We have more than 80 people in our company, so it's not enough."
"Just have a taste. These cans will be sent to the hospital at the battalion headquarters to feed the wounded. This stuff can supplement nutrition. When we win the battle in the future and seize it, we will feed it to the soldiers."
This is just a canned breakfast. Wang Xiaoliang only found one box. It is estimated that the US army's military rations are difficult to find. These foreign devils know about our army's weekly offensive, so the American devils never carry food on them, just for fear of being captured by the volunteers.
After the soldiers were killed, the food not only failed to provide their own soldiers, but also became nutrients for the enemy.
