Xia Yuan had no clue for a while and kept thinking about countermeasures. He might be able to enter alone, but after entering, or before entering, he would have been discovered by the enemy.
Everything is possible. Although he has activated a cheat, he is not an invincible cheat. Essentially, he is still an ordinary person. After being shot, he will at most leave later than ordinary people, and his departure will be relatively painful.
However, what he possesses is a unique vision and vision that transcends this world.
Battalion Commander Li's words woke him up.
While Xia Yuan was thinking, Battalion Commander Li also began to make corresponding arrangements, "A single trench cannot cope with the US military's artillery attack tomorrow. There are no tasks tonight. Do more work on the position. The anti-slope construction can
Anti-gun trenches to avoid enemy fire. Don’t let what happened today happen again.”
artillery!
An idea suddenly came to Xia Yuan's mind. He immediately stared at the ravine drawn by Comrade Xiao Qin on the ground, and immediately asked: "Comrade Xiao Qin, how wide and long is this ravine?"
Comrade Xiao Qin thought for a while and said: "It must be several tens of meters. The mountain pass is small, probably only thirty or forty meters, but it feels quite wide inside."
Xia Yuan asked again: "What does the terrain of these mountains look like from the outside?"
Comrade Xiao Qin recalled: "The mountains are relatively steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Many of them are cliffs. The enemy occupies the position on the top of the mountain and is condescending."
Xia Yuan then asked: "Is the direction of the mountain east-west, or north-south?"
Xiao Qin said: "The east-west highway is three kilometers away from this location."
"There are enemies on the mountain, and they have built a machine gun bunker on the mountainside. Although it is simple, it is not easy to build a machine gun bunker in such an environment."
Xia Yuan squinted, pointed at the ravine model on the ground and said, "It can only mean that the mountains on both sides of the ravine are cliffs on the outside, but the terrain on the inside is relatively flat and wide, making it easy to climb."
"The direction of the mountain is east-west..."
He vaguely got what he wanted to know.
The conversation between the two of them attracted Battalion Commander Li, who was giving orders to the company commanders. They stopped talking and listened to the conversation between the two.
Xiao Qin said: "Yes, there are many protruding rocks on the mountain. The enemy's bunker is built with sandbags. It is built with logs and sandbags. There are also lighting equipment halfway up the mountain. They want to transport it up from the outside.
, it is indeed not easy, it is most likely transported up from the inside."
Battalion Commander Li interjected: "Such a natural terrain, if it is carefully transformed, can be used as a base area. Heavy troops can be deployed on the ridges on both sides. The mountain pass is completely built like a gun tower built on the mountain."
Others nodded, this kind of terrain is unique, no wonder the foreign devils occupy this position, it is indeed a good position, but it is a pity that this position is too deep.
The Third Company Commander crossed his arms and said to the Third Company Instructor beside him: "Unless there is heavy firepower that can tear open the frontal defense, or like the foreign devils, use artillery bombardment or plane bombing to directly destroy the interior."
Captain Lei stared at Xia Yuan, looked at his face that became more expressive, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"have!"
Xia Yuan nodded heavily and took a deep breath. He felt the eyes focused on him, which made him feel like being pricked by needles. In this era, no one could be a company commander or battalion commander.
The good guys are all veterans who have gone through various battles, won military exploits, crawled out of the dead, and killed countless people.
"If you have any, please tell me what you think and let everyone know."
Battalion Commander Li couldn't wait to know what he could think of in the face of the enemy's tight and iron-clad defenses.
"Enemy's artillery!"
Xia Yuan revealed a flaw revealed by the enemy. He pointed to the ravine on the ground and said: "Comrade Xiao Qin said that from the outside, the peaks on both sides of the ravine are steep and full of cliffs, but the enemy was able to send troops to climb them.
We went to the top of the mountain and even used sandbags to build fortifications on the mountain, which shows that this mountain is not a cliff in the ravine."
"Mountains are mostly narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Viewed from the outside, the ravine may look very big, but the situation in the ravine is very complicated. Big trees, rocks, and uneven ground will all become obstacles to the artillery stationing. The foreign Japanese cannons are
105 howitzer, judging from the degree of shelling during the day, the artillery fire was intensive, and it was very difficult for such an artillery group to deploy in such a ravine."
He pointed at the ravine and said: "The second thing is that the mountains on both sides of the ravine run east-west, and we are north of the foreign devils. Their muzzles are facing the mountain. The mountain is very high, and it is difficult for the cannon to hit it.
It requires calculation and precise landing on our position, which is even more difficult."
What Xia Yuan said seemed to wake up the commanders and fighters of the first battalion present. Instructor Shao immediately grasped the key point and said: "Do you suspect that the enemy's artillery position is not in this ravine?"
Xia Yuan nodded: "Well, this ravine is very suitable as a garrison fortress, especially to deal with us who don't have heavy firepower. This location is unique. Let alone a battalion or even a division, we can't easily capture it."
This position, but again, the fatal flaw of this position is that it is not conducive to the deployment of the artillery group, so I suspect that the enemy's artillery group is very likely not in this position."
Battalion Commander Li said: "Based on the smoothbore time of the enemy's howitzers firing at our position during the day, the enemy's artillery is more than ten kilometers away from our position, and this position is also more than ten kilometers away from our position. The distance is
It’s worthy.”
The others nodded and roughly inferred the location of the enemy's artillery positions based on the smoothbore time of enemy shells in the air. This is a basic quality that a veteran who has experienced several years of combat should have, and it is also an essential skill for every commander and fighter.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, from the War of Resistance Against Japan to the War of Resistance and Aid to Korea, until the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, our army used its disadvantages to gain advantages, and its backwardness to gain advantages. We had no guns or artillery.
There are no planes or tanks, and even bullets have become a luxury item that can only be captured. At this time, improving personal combat skills is the most critical. Use a rifle with one hand, without a stand, hold a mortar with one hand, climb cliffs, and use your bare hands.
Fighting, stabbing, etc., all skills are almost fully used.
Although there are some deviations in this way of judging the enemy's artillery position, it is still pretty much the same. Sometimes it is wrong by a few kilometers for more than ten kilometers. After all, the initial speed of the artillery shell is still very fast, and the speed of the artillery shell will decrease sharply during the sliding process.
More than ten kilometers, whether it is ten kilometers or fifteen kilometers, it’s really hard to say.
Therefore, Xia Yuan believed in his own judgment even more, "Batalion Commander, let's not talk about this matter for now. I want to take people to investigate."
Judgment is always a judgment. Whether the judgment is correct or not, you still need to see for yourself.
Battalion Commander Li thought for a moment and said: "From the time point of view, it is basically too late. Just go and conduct reconnaissance and come back before dawn. The enemy may launch an attack on Highland 336.8 in the early morning."
"yes!"
Xia Yuan stood up and saluted.
Battalion Commander Li stopped him: "In this case, Comrade Xiao Qin is more familiar with the route. You two will act together."
Xia Yuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Batalion Commander, I also want one more right."
"Tell me what rights you want. If it's not excessive, I can consider it." Battalion Commander Li said.
"I want the right to act without authorization. We don't have any tasks at the moment. If I find an opportunity to act during the investigation, please allow me to act without authorization."
Xia Yuan said with firm eyes.
Before Battalion Commander Li could speak, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao spoke first, directly interrupting Xia Yuan's thoughts.
"No, it's too risky to act without permission. You may very well die. I won't do it!"
Isn't it a joke that just two people want to act without authorization? Once surrounded by enemies, the consequences can be imagined. Xia Yuan and Xiao Qin are both very good soldiers, especially Xia Yuan, who has a very strong ability to lead a team in battle.
, they are good at attacking tough situations, and they are also good at intersecting. If such soldiers died because of reconnaissance, they would definitely feel heartbroken.
A good knife must be used in the right place.
Battalion Commander Li was also thinking, but looking at Xia Yuan's firm eyes, he felt a little shaken in his heart. He did not directly agree, "It is a taboo in the army to act without permission. Even if I agree, Lao Lei and Lao Shao will not agree.
This is too risky, but your performance last time was also very good..."
Xia Yuan understood that Battalion Commander Li wanted to agree. After all, his combat capabilities were obvious to all the commanders and fighters of the first battalion. However, due to Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao, if Battalion Commander Li agreed, he would have died because of his unauthorized actions.
, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao will feel very uncomfortable.
In my memory, I have been involved in the Eighth Route Army for six or seven years, and I have a very good relationship with Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao. When I first joined, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao were just squad leaders. From that time on, he has been following Company Commander Lei.
The commander and instructor Shao gradually became company commander and instructor along with the battle, and Xia Yuan became the platoon leader.
The original soldier was very good at fighting and made many mistakes. After making up for his mistakes, he was still the platoon leader and was neither promoted nor demoted.
"Report to the battalion commander and ask for approval. I will put my life first. I will observe first and ensure safety before deciding to act. I will not act blindly or do anything that I am not sure about."
Xia Yuan raised his voice, not only to tell Battalion Commander Li, but also to Commander Lei, "In the battle on Highland 336.8, I am fully confident. I led five soldiers to climb up from the back mountain and touch the enemy's artillery.
position, took away the enemy's artillery and headquarters, blew up the enemy's bunker, and wiped out a large number of American troops."
He said: "The most taboo thing in the army is to act without authorization. I also know that acting without authorization will be punished and criticized, but I was fully confident that I would touch the enemy's position, so I took action. I will not do anything I am not sure about."
, life is only once, there is no starting over, I still want to go home and marry a wife, and add fireworks to the Xia family."
After saying this, everyone laughed, with a bit of bitterness in their smiles.
Many young soldiers were only eighteen or nineteen years old and died before they reached the front line. Many people died, and their bodies may not even be able to return to their hometown.
Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao fell silent and stopped caring about the matter. Xia Yuan finally got the approval, but Battalion Commander Li restricted him and allowed him to act without permission only once. No matter what he discovered later, he would be punished.
He withdrew and told Comrade Xiao Qin to look at Xia Yuan.
After explaining, the two of them disappeared into the twilight.
Battalion Commander Li sighed and said: "The foreign devils are heavily fortified, and I guess they won't be able to find anything useful. We must seize the time to deal with the war coming tomorrow."
He said: "Highland 336.8 is very large, and our battalion alone cannot hold it. I have already asked my superiors for news of reinforcements, and I expect there will be a reply soon."
After a while, a communications soldier quickly ran to the battalion headquarters and delivered a letter to Battalion Commander Li. After reading it, Battalion Commander Li had an expression on his face that was both happy and solemn. The company commanders looked at it eagerly.
Battalion Commander Li.
"There is good news and bad news. The good news is that the commander of the regiment has sent three battalions to reinforce us. They are already on the way out and marching in a hurry. We should be able to arrive before dawn. The bad news is that our division's material consumption is serious, and each department's food supply
It is very difficult to keep up with the supply of ammunition and ammunition, and we have to overcome these problems ourselves."
Battalion Commander Li said: "The regiment headquarters is also on the way here. Highland 336.8 cannot be lost!"
One sentence: 336.8 Highland cannot be lost. I don’t know how many people will sacrifice for it.
Teacher's instructions.
Commander Zheng was on the phone with Commander Wang of the 539th Regiment, "How is the situation over there? After launching the attack tomorrow morning, we must move quickly, and we must first occupy Wangyueli."
Commander Wang said: "Commander, don't worry, I will definitely speed up the action. However, the current problem is that the food has been almost consumed. The soldiers rely on fried noodles mixed with leaves and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. Can you allocate more to us?
Want some food? When our regiment crosses the Soyang River and attacks Wangyue-ri, we will need some artillery support."
Master Zheng immediately fell silent after hearing this.
The conversation paused for a few seconds.
Suddenly, Commander Wang said: "Forget it, I understand, our artillery cannot cross the river."
Commander Zheng immediately said: "Wang Cheng, don't complain. Without artillery support, you must overcome difficulties. I will find a way to solve the food problem."
Commander Wang said: "Okay, then I'll thank you in advance, Commander."
Commander Zheng put down the phone and looked even more anxious. His brows were almost twisted into a ball of twine. Tomorrow's battle will definitely be more intense than today. At present, food and ammunition are consumed hugely and need to be replenished. It is already midnight. After thinking about it carefully,
After the battle starts tomorrow, take a look at the situation of each unit, and then immediately ask the army commander for supplies.
In fact, the current position of the 180th Division is too prominent and it is far away from the rear. The atmosphere in the division command post is a bit solemn. No one dares to speak. We can only wait until dawn tomorrow to see the results, for fear of that.
Sometimes, the situation will be even worse, no one dares to think about it.
Now there are only a few rare hours of quiet left.
There are branches at the entrance of the command post. They were brought back by the security squad just now. The camouflage during the day was somewhat damaged. The guards used the newly brought small branches and some thick branches to rearrange the command post.
