Chapter 67 Defense in place!

During the operation, Ma Daguo saw a 105mm howitzer being dragged behind the rear of the foreign devil's car. Touching the helmet on his head, he couldn't help but said: "Lao Xia, why don't you get four howitzers towed behind? That thing

It's a good thing. If you use it well, you don't have to rush to attack the enemy. It can be blasted over with one shot. Even if it is piled with sandbags, even the reinforced concrete ones will be blown up."

Xia Yuan smoked a cigarette and said calmly: "No, that thing will affect our speed."

After dragging the gasoline barrel to the Japs' weapons and ammunition supplies, Chen Lie and Liu Tiezhu hurried over. Hearing their conversation, Liu Tiezhu said, "Platoon leader, instead of cannons, why don't you get some machine guns?"

Chen Lie was also thinking, "I think it's okay to build a machine gun. Liu Tiezhu and I have seen a lot of foreign machine guns."

"Shh, someone is coming!"

Xia Yuan squinted his eyes and quickly pulled the three of them into hiding. He saw a group of foreign devils walking past from a distance. They only came out after the foreign devils had gone away.

"The machine gun is useless and difficult to fix."

Xia Yuan refused again. The light and heavy machine guns were useful when blocking attacks, but now the 180th Division was about to be surrounded by the enemy, and that thing was regarded as a treasure by many volunteers. Just like the cannon, it was bulky and would be a burden and drag during retreat.

Marching speed, if you don't want to throw it away, is only useful at critical times, and is a burden at other times.

Besides, so many machine guns must have bullets. A load of bullets is just a drop in the bucket. It can be used by some light and heavy machine guns. So many of them really don’t have much effect.

Xia Yuan's only goal was to bomb the American camp with ammunition, food, and medicine.

"Okay, let's keep going. We're going to set off fireworks for the American devils tonight."

Xia Yuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it out with his foot, looked up at the searchlight on the shelf in the distance, and already had a plan in mind.

The US military station is very large. With the strength of the four of them, it is obviously impossible to blow up all the US military stations. The only thing that can be done is to blow up some of the American devils' supplies, food and medicine.

Forget it, that thing won't blow up much after it explodes. What he wants to blow up are American artillery shells, weapons and ammunition.

This thing can be connected into one piece after it explodes. Isn't it better than exploding the food and medicine of the American devils?

While they were taking action, military messages were also being transmitted.

However, the transmission of this message was not smooth, and it was only when they were taking action that the 180th Division Headquarters received this order.

After seeing this telegram, Deputy Commander Duan said excitedly: "Great, the order to retreat has finally been issued. The 180th Division can finally move and rest for a while. During this period, the soldiers have endured hunger, lack of ammunition and enemies.

The battle process is difficult."

Chief of Staff Wang also said: "It is night now. Fortunately, the troops are not in a firefight with the US military and can easily withdraw."

After saying that, Chief of Staff Wang rubbed his hands with unconcealable excitement on his face. These days, the soldiers have not had enough to eat at first and finally run out of food. They still resolutely carry out their tasks. Everyone in the division sees it in their eyes and feels pain in their hearts.

, now, the order from superiors to move the 180th Division has finally come down.

This kind of expectation has been suppressed in everyone's heart for many days. Now, the division headquarters is boiling. Everyone is relieved. The 180th Division can finally rest.

A smile finally appeared on Commander Zheng's face. His expression was so relaxed. He handed Chief of Staff Wang a cigarette, lit one himself, and exhaled slightly.

In the past two days, his mood had been condensed into a rock, hard and cold, waiting to burst at any time, waiting for the last moment of desperate struggle. However, no one in the division could tell that he was hiding deeply.

The two cigarettes burned much slower than the previous two days, and the smoking posture was also much more relaxed, looking very leisurely.

Chief of Staff Wang and Director Wu were also preparing to play a game of chess and relax. They took out the chess pieces and placed them in a clattering manner.

Gently blowing out a string of smoke rings, Master Zheng looked at the platter where the chess pieces had been placed and started to fight, and pondered.

After resting and replenishing, comrades will definitely have better results if we fight again.

The comrade translator also sat on the stool in a relaxed posture, relaxing after being tense for several days. The radio correspondent Xiao Yi yawned, stretched, and wanted to stretch again. Suddenly, the radio station's copy signal light

It's bright.

When Zhao Guobang, the translator, saw this from the side, he gave Xiao Yi a tug. Xiao Yi only stretched half of his body for the second time, then immediately retracted it, put on his earphones and started copying the codes.

This time, the message contained not much content and was very brief. The translator Zhao Guobang took the code and began to translate it, and then handed it over to Mr. Zheng.

"Division Commander, military headquarters telegram!"

Commander Zheng pinched off the cigarette and stepped forward to take it. The expression on his face froze instantly. The message was very brief: "Order the 180th Division to defend on the spot! Stop the enemy's invasion from the north."

The atmosphere that had been relaxed just now suddenly became tense.

With the announcement of the end of the second phase of the Fifth Battle at 2 p.m., Shiji ordered each corps to leave one corps behind to resist during the retreat and cover the retreat of the main force.

The Third Corps gave this name to the 60th Army. Before the war, the 179th Division and the 181st Division of the 60th Army were transferred to the 15th Army and the 12th Army. However, at this time, the 179th Division of the 60th Army

The 181st Division and the 181st Division were still on their way back to the formation and had not yet arrived at the 60th Army. The 60th Army only had one 180th Division in its hands.

The task of stopping the enemy's invasion from the north naturally fell on the 180th Division.

According to Li Qiwei's deployment, the United Nations Army took advantage of the volunteer army's weakness in supply difficulties while the main force of the Chinese and North Korean troops had not yet transferred, and concentrated a total of 13 divisions of four armies into a "task force" composed of motorized infantry, tanks, and artillery.

As the lead, and supported by a large number of aviation and long-range artillery fire, a planned and fierce counterattack was launched mainly along the areas on both sides of the highway from Seoul to Yeoncheon, Chuncheon to Hwacheon, and Hongcheon to Inje.

Almond commanded the U.S. Tenth Army to move eastward in an attempt to cut off the connection between the 180th Division and the eastern front troops. The Pseudo-Sixth Division began to attack the Volunteer Army along the huge gap between the 180th Division's defense line and the Sixty-third Army's defense line.

Rear penetration.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, all the pressure is concentrated on the 180th Division.

Because the 180th Division not only had to face the Pseudo Sixth Division penetrating deep in the west, but also the U.S. Tenth Army attacking in the east.

And the US 7th Division and the 1st Marine Division in front of them!

Deputy Commander Duan pushed aside the box of chess pieces he just brought over and unfolded the map on the table. Commander Zheng, Chief of Staff Wang and Director Wu stood in front of the map to observe. The four of them were all thinking, and no one said a word.

This order is undoubtedly the most fatal for the 180th Division at this stage.

But they also knew that the original order to retreat suddenly changed to an order to block on the spot. It must have been made by the military under forced circumstances. Currently, only the 180th Division among the three divisions is closest to the enemy. Let the 180th Division

It is most appropriate for the division to block the attack.

However, at this stage, the 180th Division is short of food and ammunition, lacks medical treatment and food, and the number of wounded is increasing day by day. Can the 180th Division undertake such an important task? And what can it rely on to complete the orders of the Invincible Northern Offenders?

Commander Zheng stayed calm in the face of danger and once again adjusted his mentality to fight the enemy to the death. His eyes became sharp and he pointed at the map: "On the south bank of the Han River, let three regiments temporarily form three lines of defense to resist the enemy's attack!"

Chief of Staff Wang was worried: "According to the intelligence returned by the scouts, we are facing a very large number of enemies head-on. Three lines of defense may not be feasible. I think of two lines of defense, so that the firepower will be more concentrated."

Commander Zheng did not speak, staring at the message in his hand: ...Defend on the spot...stop the enemy's invasion from the north...on the spot...I am afraid that such an order from the military headquarters is extremely urgent, and the situation is even more complicated.

Thinking of this, Commander Zheng's eyes were sharp, he no longer hesitated, and said categorically: "That's it, set up three lines of defense, so that the enemy will be blocked for a longer time, and then inform the regiments to quickly transport the wounded to the rear.

Do your job well, get into the fight immediately! Hurry!"

The enemy in front of the 180th Division is the US 7th Division from Yuanfeng to the temple. The US 1st Land War Division is up Huaxi and in the four corners.

The 180th Division pointed out that after a meeting, it was decided that in order to complete the task of blocking the enemy's invasion from the north, the division adjusted its deployment, moved the main force to the east, and determined the position as three lines of defense.

The first Yuanfeng Peak, Jiuluan Mountain, is in Tongguli.

The second new store is Banyi Cave and Fasuo Lane.

The third road is Zhengping Mountain, inside the cave, Hanzhi Valley.

Three lines of defense were launched against the enemy south of the Han River. The troops are still on the front line. Commander Zheng immediately ordered: "Stop attacking the enemy and withdraw quickly!"

These days include the 538th Regiment, which needs to retreat backwards and is responsible for Jiuluan Mountain, 148 Highlands, and 368.9 Highlands northeast of Tapong.

After receiving the order from the division headquarters, the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the 538th Regiment are still performing their tasks.

Battalion Commander Li looked at the orders issued by his superiors and quickly came to the map with his brows furrowed.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao walked in in a hurry.

Battalion Commander Li raised his head and said: "You are here. The division headquarters ordered my battalion to hold on to Jiuluan Mountain, 148 Highland and 368.9 Highland northeast of Tapong. This place is more than 40 kilometers away from us. We need to march quickly to get here."

Captain Lei stared at the map with a serious look: "Batalion Commander, Xia Yuan and the others are still performing their mission."

Battalion Commander Li nodded: "I know, that's why I called you here. The division headquarters ordered not to delay. I decided to take the first battalion to Jiuluan Mountain first. You guys will stay behind to break up the rear, and pick them up by the way. After picking them up,

Go to Jiuluan Mountain quickly."

Instructor Shao thought for a moment and nodded: "Lao Lei, this is also a good idea. If Xia Yuan and the others can complete the task ahead of schedule, we still have time, but we are afraid that they will not be able to complete the task ahead of schedule!"

Captain Lei frowned. He was also worried about this problem. If Xia Yuan and the others could not come back in time, the company would be delayed here.

After thinking about it, he felt that this was not a problem. No matter how difficult the problem was, we needed to work hard to overcome it.

Captain Lei raised his head and said: "Batalion Commander, leave the post-breaking mission to us. We promise to arrive at Jiuluan Mountain on time tomorrow morning."

Jiuluan Mountain and Tongguli were the places where they previously performed their missions, but now they have become the first line of defense south of the Han River. They have to fight head-on with the US 7th Division and the 1st Marine Division, and this is higher than the 180th Division.

It is completely unknown whether an enemy several times larger can hold its position.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao had no better way. The battalion headquarters had to complete the orders issued by the division headquarters, which was related to the successful completion of the task of blocking the enemy's northern invasion. Xia Yuan and others were still on the way to complete the task.

Time was in a dilemma, and only a few people could stay in Yilian to pick up the few people who went to complete the mission.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao left quickly and headed for the No.1 Company garrison.

On the way, Captain Lei looked at the dark clouds covering the night sky and said, "It's going to rain."

Instructor Shao felt that the air was a little solemn and nodded: "I don't know how Xia Yuan and the others are doing. I didn't expect that at this time, they were given the task of retreating to the rear and deploying defenses. This means that the regiment's battle against the enemy is probably over.

.”

Captain Lei nodded, and this was the only reason that made sense. The 180th Division was following the regiment's orders to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in the front. By withdrawing the team at this juncture, it was obvious that the second phase of the fifth battle might be over.

"Let's go back and take a look. We also need to be prepared to retreat quickly after receiving Xia Yuan and the others."

"Well, I hope it won't rain too much."

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

To the north of North Korea, rain fell on the ground in patter, moistening the land charred by shells, and the water level of the Han River began to slowly rise.

The 180th Division stayed south of the Han River and deployed three lines of defense to block the enemy's invasion from the north and buy time for the regiment to move.

To the north is the 63rd Army, coordinating defensive operations. To the east is the retreating Three Corps, and the 179th Division may stay on their east side for defense.

The 180th Division is not fighting alone. The commanders and commanders of the division are also determined to stop the enemy from the north and block the enemy south of the Han River.

At the enemy's station, they still didn't know that the regiment had issued a retreat mission. Several people were nervously preparing a plan to blow up the enemy's guns and ammunition. They placed gasoline barrels next to the enemy's supplies. This was a bit bold. Once discovered by the enemy,

The consequences are disastrous.

In actual situation, Xia Yuan did not have a good plan. There were many enemies, so they could only use disguises to complete the plan, and there was no danger every time.

They were divided into two groups, Xia Yuan and Ma Da were in one group, and Chen Lie and Liu Tiezhu were in one group, so the speed would be faster.

"Once the oil barrels are connected and explode, a chain reaction will occur. Not only will all the enemy's supplies be blown up, but only half of the guns and ammunition will be blown up, our mission will be completed."

Xia Yuan wanted to blow up the enemy station, but that was obviously impossible. The enemy stationed there was not a company, but a regiment with thousands of people. The station was so big that it occupied the entire ravine, and he could only complete a small part of it.

Demolition mission, it is almost impossible to blow up the camp.

The big man grabbed a gasoline barrel and moved it with difficulty to the supplies piled up by the foreign devils. He looked at the truck next to the supplies and grinned.

"If this explodes, it must not explode with the enemy's truck!"

"It's quite beautiful to imagine, but it's probably a bit difficult. There are too many Japanese cars, and one or two would be too few to blow up, but you can't blow up too many."

Xia Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and found a handful of dust, which was very dirty.
