What Commander Pang said is correct. Xia Yuan put himself into Commander Pang's perspective. Without knowing the specific information about the Western Front, the Central Front and the Eastern Front, he only knew that the troops were reunited to annihilate the enemies on the Eastern Front. 180
The 180th Division serves as a nail that is deeply embedded in the enemy's only route to the east. If the enemy wants to reinforce the east front, it is bound to remove this nail of the 180th Division.
Therefore, Commander Pang believes that the enemy is not launching a major counterattack, but is trying to reinforce the eastern front, and must pass through the 538th Regiment, so he launched a fierce attack on the 538th Regiment's defensive position today.
Dongyuan's idea makes sense.
As for me, I am standing from God's perspective. The enemy is not only seeking aid from the east, they are adopting a full-front counterattack posture. It won't be long before the problems on the center line will be exposed.
Xia Yuan keenly grasped the shortage of ammunition and food in our army and said: "Commander, since the enemy has discovered that our army's intention is to gather and annihilate the enemies on the Eastern Front, why were we chasing and beating them earlier?
It is entirely possible that they would have supported the Eastern Front as early as the beginning of the war on the Eastern Front, instead of being chased and beaten by us all the way."
This question was so acute that all the commanders and soldiers in the regiment fell into deep thought.
Indeed, from the start of the counterattack in the second phase of the Fifth Battle on the 16th, the 180th Division attacked the enemy from the front. Although the enemy resisted, as commanders and combatants, they were able to keenly understand that the enemy's resistance was very regular.
, orderly, layer by layer blocking, layer by layer retreat, armored vehicles covering the infantry retreat in the rear, very orderly.
Xia Yuan continued: "We chase and they run. Once our army stops chasing, they also stop, set up heavy artillery, adjust the muzzle to point at us, the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy is tired and we attack."
"Guerrilla warfare!"
Commander Pang was suddenly startled and frowned: "The enemy is playing guerrilla warfare with us."
Chief of Staff Hu said: "From the beginning of the battle, the 539th Regiment took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy. The enemy did not mount a fierce resistance until they caught up with the river. Our army stopped pursuing and the enemy began to attack our army wildly.
Indiscriminate bombing is very similar to guerrilla warfare."
Commanders and fighters at all levels also whispered that they were not in God's perspective, and the 180th Division entered North Korea to fight. The second phase of the Fifth Battle, as the main force attacking the frontal enemy on the center line, was their first encounter with the US military.
The conditions on the east and west fronts are good, and the enemy is retreating steadily. In the eyes of commanders and fighters at all levels, the enemy's retreat without a fight is the hope of victory.
At the end of the second phase of the fifth battle, Shiji ordered an orderly withdrawal of all levels. In fact, Shiji had sensed the crisis, the crisis of the enemy's massive counterattack, the crisis of all volunteer armies across the board, and for each company.
On the contrary, the soldiers with smiles on their faces, carrying guns and guns, retreated to the rear with their heads held high. Some troops were even too proud, thinking that the enemy had been repulsed, and had no will to fight. Even during the retreat,
Expose yourself and suffer heavy casualties.
This is really happening. All the enemy's movements are under the control of Zhisi. However, the commanders and soldiers of each company did not notice the enemy's intentions. They only saw that Rhee's army was defeated by them. They were arrogant and domineering and could not be defeated.
During this time, the U.S. military, which had strong ships and powerful guns, also scurried away under their guns.
This is a really big victory.
The joy of victory made them forget the crisis.
The commanders and fighters of the 538th Regiment at all levels just followed the orders of the regiment and attacked all the way south, chasing the U.S. military. Even when they stopped and were attacked by the enemy, they thought it was a failure when the enemy was defeated.
Resistance is nothing to fear.
As everyone knows, beneath the surface of such great victory, there are many crises.
Their brows were furrowed and their minds were buzzing. The enemy had actually learned the guerrilla tactics they were best at. No wonder, no wonder, as soon as they fought, the enemy retreated all the way. Instead, they stopped, but the enemy began to resist. The enemy actually
They learned from them and fought guerrilla warfare.
The commanders and fighters in the regiment headquarters were all experienced commanders. With Xia Yuan's point of view, they immediately realized that when the 539th Regiment pursued the enemy, the enemy retreated and the crisis faced by our army's victory was high.
Chief of Staff Hu frowned: "According to the current situation, our ammunition and food have been consumed so seriously, the situation of the 539th Regiment is definitely not ideal. Without ammunition and food supplies, the 539th Regiment will still have to attack the enemy.
Attack, could it be that the enemy is waiting for us to run out of ammunition before attacking us."
Everyone's breaths froze, and they immediately thought of the seriousness of the problem.
Xia Yuan nodded: "Why did the enemy launch an attack on us today instead of starting eastward reinforcements when the enemy occupied 336.8 Heights? According to the mechanized troops of the US military, they must be faster than we can run on two legs.
Come on, I think other than the fact that the enemy is preparing a major counterattack, there is no other reason why the US military should not go to the east to provide assistance."
"On the 20th, during the continuous mobile warfare, our platoon suffered huge casualties and serious consumption of food and ammunition. When we arrived at Highland 336.8, many soldiers' food bars had less than a day's rations. So far, I have only eaten one meal.
Many soldiers are still hungry, but the enemy launched an attack on our position on this day."
Xia Yuan continued: "But in terms of physical strength and weight, the food and ammunition carried by a soldier can only last for seven days, and mobile warfare itself is the most serious consumption of physical strength and ammunition. The enemy has seized this point
, just wait until we run out of ammunition and food, and then fight back fiercely."
If they could understand the enemy's massive pursuit at the end of the Fourth Battle, they could basically see that Li Qiwei had mastered the Volunteer Army's worship offensive and developed magnetic tactics for the worship offensive, which was transformed from guerrilla warfare.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unfortunately, after the fourth battle, many troops on the 38th Line were disabled and moved to the rear to rest, and the troops transferred from the country were
It was my first time to fight against the US military, and I had no experience at all. Taking the 180th Division as an example, it was obvious that the current position of the 180th Division was particularly prominent, and its neighbors to the left and right were left far behind.
Behind them, there is a "convex" character, and once the enemy starts a major counterattack, it is inevitable that the 180th Division will be surrounded as the entire line retreats.
What also contributed to the encirclement of the 180th Division was the misunderstood order document, which caused the 180th Division to miss the final opportunity to retreat.
When Xia Yuan said this, commanders and fighters at all levels immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. They were still in the joy of victory and believed that by holding on to the 336.8 heights, they could hold back the U.S. troops who were coming to the east.
Three corps can gather together to annihilate the enemies on the Eastern Front, with brilliant results.
Commander Pang frowned, and Political Commissar Zhao and Chief of Staff Hu did not speak.
Battalion Commander Li, Company Commander Lei, and instructor Shao remained silent.
Captain Pang raised his head and said: "Even if we know that the enemy is going to take advantage of our army's fatigue and running out of ammunition and food to launch a fierce attack on our army, the task of annihilating the enemy on the Eastern Front is arduous, and regiment orders are particularly important.
, no matter what happens, holding on to our position is the order we received at the moment!"
The order received by the 539th Regiment was to cross the Shaoyue River and attack the Wangyueli position.
Even if you know that the enemy has a conspiracy, what can you do?
"You can think of the problem, then Zhisi must also have thought of the problem. I think Zhisi must have a way to deal with this crisis!" Captain Pang said with firmness, he looked at Xia Yuan and said: "
A good soldier, but it's a pity that the war is at stake now, otherwise I would definitely let you join the regiment."
Captain Pang was satisfied with Xia Yuan's intelligence. He could see so much from a small battle, which was enough to show how vicious Xia Yuan's vision was. It was a pity that they had orders. Even if the enemy surrounded them, Shisi did not order them.
To retreat, they must firmly root themselves in their position.
"A machine is made up of tiny screws. Each of our soldiers and each company is such a tiny screw, so the pressure on our bodies is also very different. As long as we persevere and persevere,
Live so that this machine can work."
Captain Pang continued: "Zhisi did not order us to retreat. Even if the enemy in front is one regiment, two regiments, or one division, it doesn't matter. The squad leader died in the battle, the platoon leader, the platoon leader died in the battle, the company commander, the company commander died in the battle."
Enter the battalion commander, I will enter if the battalion commander dies in battle!"
At this moment, Xia Yuan understood the weight of the word 'order'. These two words were stained with the blood of countless soldiers. These two words were comparable to a thousand-jin boulder.
At the same time, he also knew that even if he told Commander Pang and others that the 180th Division would be surrounded by enemies in the future, the first thing they would think of would not be the final outcome of the 180th Division, but the 180th Division.
When the Zero Division was surrounded, what was the situation of the brother troops? Were they surrounded by the enemy?
The volunteers are always so selfless, heroic, and heart-warming.
Wang Xiaoliang, a platoon of soldiers from the company, was also in the team. The first battalion suffered serious casualties and needed manpower to attack the enemy positions at night, so he participated in tonight's operation. Now his face is a little pale, and his eyes are as red as bloodshot.
Excessive fatigue.
It's not just him, everyone is like this.
Wang Xiaoliang stood in the first row, fiddling with the Thompson submachine gun he had captured from the American devils, wiping the dust from the barrel with his cuffs. In the second row behind him, someone carrying a Czech light machine gun rushed towards him.
On the right side of the gun, he suddenly said to him: "Hey, kid, your gun is well maintained."
Wang Xiaoliang looked to the right, and it turned out to be the second company machine gunner Zheng Dazhi, who was also his fellow countryman. The corner of his mouth cracked, "What a coincidence, you also have to participate in tonight's mission. You left in a hurry in the evening, and I haven't asked you yet."
What about your second company?"
Zheng Dame replied: "I am not much better than you, and I have killed many brothers. Do you want to smoke? I bought this pack in Anton."
After Zheng Dazhi finished speaking, he took out half a box of 'Da Qianmen' from his trouser pocket and handed it to him. Wang Xiaoliang refused: "No, if there is water, drink some with me. I'm so thirsty."
Zheng Dazhi put back the cigarette and glanced at the kettle on his waist: "Get it yourself."
He was carrying a light machine gun, which was not very convenient. Wang Xiaoliang was not polite to his fellow countrymen, so he took it off and took three sips: "It's so refreshing. I haven't drunk water since night."
Zheng Dazhi may have thought that Wang Xiaoliang's drink was not enough, so he added: "Look what's hidden behind my belt? Take it out yourself."
Wang Xiaoliang curiously took out a three-centimeter-long shriveled chili pepper from the inside of her belt. Although it was not big, it was bright red. Wang Xiaoliang swallowed and said, "You are really capable. You can still keep this thing until now."
?”
After saying that, he was about to put the pepper back, and Zheng Dazhi said: "Hey, hey, I'll give you something to eat."
Wang Xiaoliang listened, grinned, and immediately put it into his mouth, his brows stretched, his mouth squeaked, and he looked very excited. Under the current conditions, the taste of a small pepper was far better to him than the fried noodles he had eaten before.
Much better.
His mouth was immediately filled with spicy gas, and it spread to his face. His pale face suddenly turned red, black and red. He is from Sichuan, and he likes this taste.
Seeing his expression, Zheng Dazhi felt very comfortable, but on the surface he said calmly: "Drink some more water?"
Wang Xiaoliang took a long breath and said, "I won't drink anymore, thank you."
He chewed another mouthful, swallowed it, and said, "Well, it's a bit of a waste. If I have another one to eat tomorrow morning, it can last for half a day."
Zheng Dazhi couldn't laugh or cry: "You little brat, I'll give you this one, and no more."
Wang Xiaoliang said with a smile: "You are so stingy, one is just right, don't ask for more."
While they were talking, commanders and fighters at all levels came out of the regiment headquarters, Xia Yuan entered the queue, and Lao Yang and others looked at him. At this time, the soldier leading the first row shouted: "Stand at attention!"
Everyone immediately returned to their military posture.
Followed closely by the group leader and the others.
Commander Pang stood on a high slope, looking at the more than fifty soldiers below, and said loudly: "Comrades performed very bravely today. You are the backbone of the whole regiment. I am very fond of you. Now, I order
At one o'clock in the morning, you reach the opposite side and then make a surprise attack. If you can catch tongues, grab food, and seize weapons and ammunition, that would be even better. Do you have any confidence?"
Everyone shouted in unison: "Have confidence!"
Although the voice was not particularly loud, everyone was very energetic. They knew that they were about to fight the enemy again, so their spirits naturally increased.
Chief of Staff Hu said: "We must catch him by surprise. If we can grab food, we will grab it. If there is no food, we can destroy the enemy's artillery. No matter how many, we must pay attention to safety. Don't be reluctant to fight. If you find that the situation is not good,
Evacuate quickly."
The person in charge of leading the team is Xia Yuan, commander of the first company and platoon, now called Captain Xia of the commando team. He has rich experience in intervening and attacking difficulties. He has successfully blown up the enemy's artillery position before and is very familiar with the enemy. He will definitely lead this time.
Team.
Fifty people, all elites of the first battalion. Chief of Staff Hu gave Xia Yuan a watch, and they checked the time. It was already half past eleven.
