In the last battle, they captured more than 30 US troops and eliminated more than 80 US troops. The remaining US troops had fled and left a large number of guns, ammunition, and cans on the position. The second and third rows had also
Arrive at the position.
"Thank you for coming, otherwise the battle would not have ended so quickly."
Xia Yuan gratefully held Cui Yong's hand. If they hadn't provided timely support, what would have happened to Lao Yang and Wu Ping. He couldn't imagine what would have happened to Lao Yang and Wu Ping. Although he had the ability to kill the enemy, he would have to pay a huge price.
It was difficult to stop four hands with two fists. The enemy found that he was alone and really wanted to surround him. It would be difficult to deal with it with just dozens of rounds of bullets.
"Captain Xia, you are so humble. We all know what you did. You led a dozen people to ambush the enemy on the mountainside and persisted for half an hour. Five tanks and a company of American troops. How dare you lead
We admire him very much for beating others."
Cui Yong sighed and said that if it were him, he might not be able to blow up the enemy's tanks with more than a dozen people. Maybe they would all die without even touching the enemy's position.
By comparison, Cui Yong couldn't do what Xia Yuan did from Xia Yuan's perspective.
Three people broke into the position where an enemy company was stationed, but no one would believe it if they told it. A dozen people resisted the attack of an enemy battalion for half an hour, and no one would believe it if they told it.
I have no other thoughts except admiration.
Although Highland 393.1 was defended, they also paid a huge price for the first company. Cui Yong said: "Captain Xia, leave the next position to us. You retreat to the rear to rest."
"Company Commander Cui, although we only have these people left, they still have a certain fighting capacity. If they can survive, they are all veterans who are good at fighting. As long as they have enough food and ammunition, they can withstand the fierce attack of a company of enemies, and there will be no problem.
"
Xia Yuan said: "The defense line of the Jiuluan Mountain position is very long. It is almost impossible for a company to hold on. The fall is inevitable, but it is only a matter of time. We cannot retreat."
Captain Cui said: "Your company suffered heavy casualties, you can rest assured to leave the rest of the battle to me..."
"To be honest, when I didn't receive news of your reinforcements, I had the idea of taking them to retreat."
Xia Yuan interrupted Captain Cui and continued: "I plan to take them to the enemy's rear to transport the enemy's troops. Although they cannot change the occupation, they are like mosquitoes. They bite the enemy and make the enemy uncomfortable for a while.
I can help the soldiers who died on the front line. Your arrival gives me hope to continue to hold on. I also hope that Captain Cui will not refuse this matter. We have sacrificed so many people on this position. We are asked to retreat at this time. We cannot do it.
arrive."
"Captain Cui, we really can't do it. Captain Lei died together with the American troops on the battlefield. The soldiers fought with the enemy with injuries until the last drop of blood was shed."
Instructor Shao sat next to Xia Yuan and sighed.
At this time, the scouts of the second company came back with several soldiers. Seeing this, Captain Cui stood up and said: "This is our instructor, Lin Sheng. This is the commander of the first battalion and the first company of the 538th Regiment, Xia Yuan, and the instructor of the first company, Shao Wenxuan."
.”
Instructor Lin held Xia Yuan's hand and said: "I have heard about you a long time ago. You are young and promising. I have always wanted to meet you, but we are in two groups. I didn't expect to see you today. Just like before,
Nothing has changed.”
"Instructor Lin has seen me before?" Xia Yuan said curiously.
"Lao Xia, you used to give lectures, but a lot of people came to listen. The instructor and I were both there. The lectures were really good." Captain Cui said.
"So that's it." Xia Yuan nodded and said, "This is the instructor of our first company."
"Instructor Shao."
"Instructor Lin."
The two simply said hello and looked at the gradually darkening sky, with a slight breeze blowing over them.
"Fortunately, the rain has stopped and the day is getting darker. The enemy may not attack again," instructor Lin said.
Everyone nodded. The US military's combat effectiveness would be reduced at night and they would basically not attack again.
Xia Yuan frowned and said, "Not necessarily."
Captain Cui said: "Captain Xia, will the enemy attack at night?"
"The enemy is bound to capture the high ground. Although their men cannot attack, it does not mean that their artillery cannot attack. During the day, we will knock down the position. At night, the enemy will lose their composure and bombard the position. My suggestion is
Move the position forward two hundred meters."
As soon as Xia Yuan finished speaking, the soldiers from the Second Company's cooking squad had already prepared the meals and called them: "Company Commander, it's time to eat."
Several people didn't move, they were all thinking about what Xia Yuan said.
"It's better to be more cautious." Instructor Lin agreed with Xia Yuan's words and said: "No matter whether our position will be bombarded tonight or not, we must be prepared in advance and advance the position two hundred meters to prevent
The enemy shelled us, and when the enemy attacks again tomorrow, they will definitely not expect that our position has extended forward, and they may be able to catch the enemy by surprise."
After everyone discussed it, they felt more and more that this suggestion was a good one, so they decided to wait until after dinner to extend the position two hundred meters forward.
"Today we eliminated an enemy company and seized a lot of weapons, equipment and cans, which is enough for us to eat for a while, but there are not many medicines, which is a bit of a pity."
Instructor Shao followed everyone to the place where the cooking class cooks, chatting with everyone while walking.
Company Commander Cui and Instructor Lin attach great importance to the results of this battle. Not only the weapons and equipment of a company can help them hold their position, especially the five tanks parked on the position. Although the tanks were blown up by Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan only bombed them.
The tracks of the tank were destroyed, and all the tank soldiers were killed by Chen Lie. There were still many artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets in the tank.
In addition to weapons and ammunition, the second is the cans seized on the battlefield. The soldiers fought for a long time and did not have enough rest time. They were mentally and physically exhausted. Coupled with the casualties caused by the battle, as instructors, they must always
It is already very difficult to pay attention to the emotions of the soldiers, but if they don't have enough to eat, the soldiers will inevitably have great emotions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They are fighting on the front line and fighting with the enemy, but they cannot even guarantee the most basic three meals a day.
It is impossible not to complain. After all, no matter how strong the volunteers are and how firm their beliefs are, under such circumstances, even a piece of iron will cause fluctuations, let alone soldiers of flesh and blood.
"We seized a lot of cans on the position, and finally we were able to give the soldiers a full meal. If the enemy does not attack again tonight, the soldiers can have a good rest. This will be very beneficial for tomorrow's battle.
.”
Instructor Lin's words came from the bottom of his heart. Until now, as commanders, they all feel sorry for their soldiers. Being able to watch the soldiers eat, clothe and survive is their greatest hope.
, if we can win another battle, that would be even better.
Xia Yuan was a little curious and asked: "How is the situation of your 539th Regiment?"
"What else can we do? We suffered heavy losses during the attack on Mochizuki. Many comrades died. The division headquarters did not send us any reinforcements of food and medicine. Many of the wounded fell on the way back before they could return due to lack of timely treatment.
When they sacrificed their lives, they all expected to drive away the foreign devils, but they never imagined that they would be injured by their cannons before they even saw them."
Captain Cui sighed, "I didn't intend to say these depressing things, but that's the fact."
He raised his head and looked at instructors Xia Yuan and Shao, and said: "I heard from our regiment leader that your regiment fought beautifully. It bombed the enemy's artillery position and defended its own position, preventing the enemy from continuing to advance. And not long ago
The division headquarters just sent a batch of ammunition and said it was captured by you, which is great and I admire you very much."
"Victory is also achieved with the sacrifice of the soldiers. Without the efforts of the soldiers, there would be no victory. You saw our situation when you came. We are just like this class." Instructor Shao was a little downcast.
, Xia Yuan on the side patted instructor Shao on the shoulder, looking a little helpless.
Along the way, the company was constantly injured and reduced in number. Instructor Shao saw it in his eyes and had to hold on until now. As the instructor of the company, he had to straighten up his back so that the soldiers would not collapse yet.
He himself collapsed first.
Instructor Shao blinked his eyes, as if to prevent something from falling. Xia Yuan patted Instructor Shao on the shoulder and said: "Don't talk about our situation, let's go eat first. Only after eating is full can we have the strength to fight."
"Yes, only when you have enough food can you have the strength to fight. Let's go eat!"
Instructor Shao nodded heavily.
The dinner was very sumptuous, much richer than before, with canned beef, canned chicken, canned fruits and canned vegetables, the preparation was quite rich.
Captain Cui stood among the soldiers and said: "These cans and the ability to capture the high ground today are all due to the comrades of the first company. Without them, the position would have been lost long ago. They used their lives to hold on to the position and resist the attack."
The enemy is advancing. But now they have suffered too many casualties and need to rest. Just now I talked about this with Company Commander Xia and Instructor Shao."
After a pause, he turned to look at all the soldiers of the Second Company and the First Company, and said in a loud, sonorous voice: "But! Instructor Shao and Company Commander Xia are determined to stay on the position. They say that the enemy has not been beaten away yet.
, we cannot rest yet, we must fight the enemy until the end, until the enemy is driven away, until the war is won!"
"The commander of the first company, the instructor of the first company, and all the soldiers of the first company have set an example for our second company. They are our role models and our respected heroes. We must inherit their will and fight the enemy to the end!"
"Fight to the bitter end!"
The soldiers of the second company clenched their fists hard and said with fighting spirit.
"This food is hard-won. We are all hungry, so we need to eat first. Only by eating enough and recharging our energy can we fight against the foreign devils. Tomorrow will be another bloody battle."
"yes!"
The soldiers went to eat. Company Commander Cui and Instructor Lin brought several soldiers to the station of the first company with a meal.
There were only a dozen people left in the company. The few people who harassed the enemy led by instructor Shao also had scratches. Fortunately, their injuries were not serious. They all sat on the ground covered with weeds to rest. Wu Ping was seriously injured. After bandaging, the blood
It has stopped, but if he cannot be sent to the rear for treatment in time, he will not be able to hold on for long.
"Comrades, let's eat something first. We have been fighting for a day and we are all exhausted. Eat something and rest."
Captain Cui asked the soldiers to hand out cans containing food to everyone. When the soldiers didn't take them, Captain Cui asked, "Why don't you eat?"
Xia Yuan said: "The food captured is only so little, so stay with the comrades of the Second Company and eat first. You have traveled all the way and are sleepy and hungry. Moreover, the next battle will only be more difficult. If you don't have a full meal, how can you keep up with us?"
The foreign devils worked hard. We were okay, we chewed some wild vegetables, but it was nothing."
At this time, Company Commander Cui, Instructor Lin and several comrades from the Second Company who came with them discovered that the comrades from the First Company were holding handfuls of wild vegetables in their hands. It was better to say they were grass than wild vegetables. They just put them in their mouths and chewed them, making it difficult to swallow.
He swallowed it into his stomach desperately.
This moved them extremely. What a lovely comrade he was. He could chew weeds by himself and give them food.
Captain Cui grabbed the wild vegetables in the hands of a soldier. This soldier was Wang Xiaoliang. He was also injured. His leg was slightly injured, and his flesh was torn by shrapnel. It was already wrapped with a bandage. Wang Xiaoliang looked at Captain Cui grabbing it.
Putting the wild vegetables in his mouth, he reminded: "Company Commander, drink some water, eating wild vegetables alone is a bit dry."
Captain Cui looked at a few people, waved his hands, and chewed big mouthfuls. His mouth felt dry, and he swallowed with difficulty. He said, "I have also eaten wild vegetables. When I was fighting against the Japanese, the Japanese were snatching food, and there was nothing to eat in the base area."
Yes, the company commander took us up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, but the wild vegetables are cooked and cannot be eaten like this."
He put the wild vegetables in the can and said: "Heat it like this, it will be delicious. Company Commander Xia, if it weren't for you, the position would have been lost long ago. You have made great contributions, how can I watch you eat wild vegetables."
Xia Yuandao: "This is different."
Captain Cui said: "Why is it different? I am a human being, are you not a human being? If you watch us eat canned food, then it is okay not to eat the canned food. We will eat wild vegetables with you."
Instructor Shao said: "Captain Cui, this can't be done. Lao Xia has his own plan."
Captain Cui looked at them and asked, "What are your plans, or have you received any new tasks?"
Xia Yuan glanced at Captain Cui and said, "I want to take them to cut off the US military's transportation force. As for this task, there is no such task. It is my decision."
Company Commander Cui, Instructor Lin and others had shocked looks on their faces.
"No, there are only a dozen of you, and many of you are wounded. What's the difference between going there and dying!"
Captain Cui immediately disagreed and said: "Captain Xia, I will not watch you die!"
