Captain Pang immediately said: "You are not to blame for this matter. We have completed the task. Under the current conditions, this is already very good. Do you have anything else to add?"
Xia Yuan thought for a while and said: "Captain, I can guarantee that if we had advanced another hundred meters, we would have definitely seen the enemy's heavy artillery. The enemy's reaction was very fast and the speed of dispatching troops was also very fast. Moreover, we stood behind the enemy after exchanging fire.
Keep your footing, although their security posts are very loose, it didn't take long for the reinforcements from behind to appear, very close to us, and there were armored vehicles."
After hearing this, Commander Pang was keenly aware that the deployment of US military forces had increased significantly, which was even more detrimental to our current troops.
Thinking back to what Xia Yuan said, the enemy's garrisoned troops began to move forward. The major counterattack Xia Yuan said has probably already begun.
Xia Yuan suddenly said: "By the way, Captain, I caught a tongue when I came back. I gave him to a soldier to look at. I guess he should be sent back."
The tongue he was talking about was Chris. Under his own control, Chris was no longer very resistant to them. And after he came back, he was not mistreated. Instead, he was locked up in a cold room.
In the tunnel, what was more considerate was that the soldier watching him warmed up a cup of tea for him.
The taste is not as strong as coffee, and the living environment is not as good as the tent environment. At least he survived.
Xia Yuan said: "This Yankee is different from other Yankees. He is very cooperative with our actions. When we were looking for food, he gave us guidance."
Captain Pang was also surprised: "Okay, this is the result."
"Comrades, your performance is very good. Go down and rest first. Your commando team will take these back and divide them among you."
The political commissar took out a few canned meats and compressed biscuits, handed them to him, and said.
Xia Yuandao: "Thank you, commander, and political commissar. None of our people who came back were injured. Let's give it to some seriously injured people in the regiment. They need it more. And when we withdrew, some soldiers collected a lot of wild vegetables."
and grassroots.”
After a pause, Xia Yuan said again: "By the way, Captain, if possible, can you give me that tongue?"
"Leave it to you?" Captain Pang asked, "Do you know English?"
Xia Yuan did not hide anything, nodded and said: "I know a lot. During the training, I studied English seriously, and I have no problem communicating with the American Japanese."
The big man on the side looked at Xia Yuan with wide eyes.
At this time, Xia Yuan had no time to pay attention to some strange characteristics that appeared on his body. Fortunately, people in this era are very receptive. Captain Pang said: "It is of no value to us. We don't even know English."
, since Xia Yuan said he can, let him try it."
"Political Commissar Zhao, please come and take a look."
Xia Yuan saluted the group leader and the others and went out immediately. He spoke some more words to the commandos, and with a wave of his hand, everyone went back to their respective companies.
Chief of Staff Hu said: "It's really embarrassing for them...sigh."
He felt sorry for the comrades who sacrificed their lives for this little food, but these eight Xu Sheng's commandos gave their lives in exchange for valuable information for the commander.
After Xia Yuan disbanded the commando team, he followed Political Commissar Zhao to the security squad to guard the place where Tongue was imprisoned. On the way, Political Commissar Zhao said, "Just ask for as much information as possible."
"yes!"
Xia Yuan responded.
Seeing Xia Yuan coming over, Chris was extremely surprised: "Mr. China."
"Chris, how do you feel?"
Xia Yuan walked up and greeted him warmly.
"Do you usually sleep in such an environment?"
Chris looked at the cold tunnel and couldn't imagine how anyone could live in such a cold tunnel.
Xia Yuan shook his head and said: "We don't sleep. We don't have time to sleep. We have to fight during the day and travel at night."
He pointed to his blood-red eyes and said, "I haven't had a serious rest for several days."
"Oh, God!"
Chris looked at Xia Yuan with a look of shock, no matter what time it is, we have to go to bed at night, if we don't sleep, we won't have the energy to fight the next day."
"There is no way, our weapons and equipment are too backward."
Xia Yuan shrugged and told Chris about the volunteer army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners. After listening to this, Chris felt much more relaxed. He took a long breath and replied: "Thank God, I was on the way here just now."
, I thought you were going to shoot me."
Political Commissar Zhao on the side listened to the two talking in English, and Xia Yuan answered fluently. He couldn't help but glance at Xia Yuangao. He didn't expect that a platoon leader from a battalion and a company could talk and laugh with a Yankee.
"How is it? Did you get anything useful?" Political Commissar Zhao took out a pen and paper from his pocket and handed it to Xia Yuan: "If you get any useful information, record it in the notebook."
Xia Yuan nodded, took the notebook and pen, and said to Chris: "Chris, I want to know about your team and what you know."
Chris said very cooperatively: "No problem, I am the lieutenant of Company D, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, 1st Marine Division. I was sleeping when you caught me."
Xia Yuan nodded while recording in his notebook. Their opponent was the First Division of the US Marine Corps. It was the same as he expected. He then asked: "What is your mission tomorrow?"
Chris said: "I received an order this evening not to attack your position tomorrow. We will perform other tasks with the regiment."
Xia Yuan was confused and confused. Logically speaking, the 538th Regiment had already run out of ammunition and food, so it was the best time to attack. However, the enemy had to give up attacking the 538th Regiment's position at the critical moment.
.
Seeing the confusion in Xia Yuan's eyes, Chris continued to add: "But I really don't know what to do. This is the mission we received."
Xia Yuandao did not doubt that what Chris said was to deceive them. As a lieutenant in the US military, he really only knew so much.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Thank you, Chris, this is very important to us."
"That's fine. I hate war now. I just want to wait for the war to end and then go home." Chris held his head in pain. On the way here, he saw the miserable condition of the wounded Chinese soldiers. There was no medicine to relieve pain.
Some Chinese soldiers bit their clothes and the blood soaked into the gauze. There was no medicine to replace them, so they had to replace them with a new gauze.
He now began to hate the war. If it hadn't been for the war, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many deaths, let alone so many sacrifices, and his friends wouldn't have died on the battlefield.
The root cause of everything is war. The Chinese gentleman in front of me said it very clearly. They are all American politicians. Without American politicians, there would be many fewer wars in the world.
After a short moment of silence, Political Commissar Zhao read what Xia Yuan recorded and said, "Now that the US military is attacking so crazily, what do you think they will think of us?"
Xia Yuan pondered: "We have been fighting for such a long time. Even if they still don't know the number of our troops, they definitely know our combat intentions."
The 180th Division blocked the enemies in front, and its operational intention was to prevent them from sending reinforcements to the Eastern Front battlefield. However, it was too difficult with just this division. Once this difficulty was seen through by the enemy, the 180th Division would
It's dangerous.
Xia Yuan continued: "If we are their commander, with such a huge advantage, we will mobilize troops, cut off our contact with the outside world, and then find a way to surround us, then figure out the strength of our 180th Division
, it’s just a matter of time.”
Xia Yuan's answer made Political Commissar Zhao's view of the current situation clearer.
Political Commissar Zhao was shocked when he heard this. Coupled with what Xia Yuan said at the regiment headquarters before joining the commando operation, he increasingly felt that the enemy would do this, saying: "If we are really surrounded, then we must
Respond promptly and first check with the division commander and military headquarters for their opinions."
Xia Yuan said: "I'm afraid that when the superiors find out, our 180th Division will not be able to pull it out."
Political Commissar Zhao's face became uglier, and he stood up and said, "I'm going back first. I want to report this content to the division headquarters immediately."
That night, the division headquarters received the information obtained from Tongue by the 538th Regiment.
The teacher pointed out that Commander Zheng looked at the intelligence submitted by the 538th Regiment, including Xia Yuan's speculation. He frowned, held half of the slowly burning cigarette between his fingers, and put it in his mouth with a frown.
After taking a breath, the thing to worry about will eventually happen.
Master Zheng suddenly became expressionless. In his mind, he was already thinking about the worst plan, which was how to counter the siege.
The dark night is about to recede, and now we just see a bit of blue, and a new day begins again.
May 21st.
On this day, all the officers and soldiers of the 180th Division were still launching heroic attacks against the US military.
Early in the morning, the 539th Regiment braved the fierce artillery fire from the US military and began to forcibly cross the Shaoyang River. Long columns of troops were rushing toward them.
Ding Sheng, commander of the first battalion of the 539th Regiment, urged at the riverside: "Everyone, work harder, faster, faster! We must be ahead of the US military and occupy the Wangyueli position!"
Upon hearing the battalion commander's advice, the soldiers of the first battalion jumped into the cold river one after another. No matter who they were, they jumped into the river quickly, not slow at all, because the people behind were waiting.
The waves splashed and the cold air hit my face.
At this time, Liu Fengxi, a soldier from the third company and a platoon, walked to the riverside with a Thompson submachine gun on his back. Like the people in front of the queue, he jumped into the river. The water immediately reached his waist, and the cold river water quickly soaked into his body.
The clothes were close to his skin, and the biting coldness of the water made him shiver. He stepped on the pebbles at the bottom of the river and staggered a few steps.
The river bottom made of cobblestones was uneven, making it extremely difficult to walk on. Liu Fengxi finally stood steady and followed her comrades in the queue as she trudged forward. Only when she reached a place with few cobblestones could she walk a few steps quickly.
The entire queue trudged hard in the Shaoyang River.
Water splashes everywhere, waves rise and fall one after another.
The U.S. military's cold artillery has reached its climax. Some shells fell one after another around the team. The howitzers were so powerful that the explosions were deafening. The water column lifted up, like a hill. At first, many people only had their lower bodies soaked in water. After the water column was lifted, it became
The raindrops were falling, and now I was soaked to the skin.
No one stopped, and no one was frightened by the enemy's cold guns. They put their guns on their bodies, held them in their arms, held their arms high and flat, and rushed towards the enemy with difficulty.
The artillery shells fell and swallowed up the soldiers. When the water column leveled off, no one could be seen anymore. Only large areas of blood red emerged from the rolling water. The soldiers saw it and had no time to save people. If they were really hit by the artillery shells, what would happen?
There are no bones left, maybe they will be next, but even so, the soldiers are still fearless and their eyes are firm.
Some soldiers cursed. Liu Fengxi shook the water droplets off her face and cursed: "MLGB!"
Cursing Americans, the steps under the river still did not stop. Finally, the pebbles on the bottom of the water gradually became less and less. After most of the 539th Regiment rushed across the Shaoyang River and came ashore, they continued to rush. They crossed the Shaoyang River one by one.
, captured the U.S. 7th Division's Mochizuki and its two east and west positions with rapid movements, but their posture was too outstanding. They did not know that the enemy had begun to resist. Under the enemy's intensive artillery raid, the troops suffered very serious casualties.
After crossing the river, Captain Wang of the 539th Regiment had just stood firm in an open area. He wanted to say a few words to the regiment headquarters Han Zhengwei. Suddenly, an incoming howitzer landed near them. The shock wave generated by the explosion hit him.
Shocked to the ground.
Political Commissar Han shouted to Commander Wang: "Captain, are you okay?"
Captain Wang stood up, shook off the dirt from his body, and said with a strong Beihe accent: "I'm fine. Have all the teams crossed the river? Is there anyone left behind?"
Political Commissar Han said: "No, they are all here. They are attacking Wangyueli."
Commander Wang shouted: "Hurry! The enemy will counterattack soon, everyone must be ready for the next round of counterattack!"
During the reunion just now, many soldiers were hit by US artillery shells, and there were some minor and serious casualties. Now we can't care about so many. The 539th Regiment is still pushing in deep, and the assault company at the front has already engaged the enemy.
The roar of fire and light and heavy weapons shook the valley.
The 539th Regiment was attacking Wangyueli, and the 538th Regiment was not idle either. The enemy gave up the attack on highland 336.8. Who knows what the enemy was planning, so Commander Pang immediately ordered the troops to attack the highland where the enemy was stationed.
.
At this time, there were only two battalions left in the 336.8 Highland of the 538th Regiment. One of the battalions suffered heavy casualties, most of which were lightly or seriously wounded. The situation of the third battalion was not much better. Under such circumstances, each company followed the established
Target, launch a fierce attack on the enemy's position.
Xia Yuan was tasked with blowing up the enemy's heavy artillery positions. Under the guidance of Xia Yuan, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao came to the high ground where they attacked last night. As soon as they appeared, the heavy machine guns on the mountain rang out. Ma Da
Before the leader could charge, he was beaten down by the enemy.
Now, there are only about forty people left in the first company, and they are shouldered with the difficult task of attacking the enemy's artillery positions.
