Chapter 165: Scattered is like a plate of sand, solidified is like a piece of stone
After finishing speaking, he looked at the contents of the last copy of the breakout instructions from the Sixty Army Headquarters: "Break through to the northwest and gather at Yingfeng. There will be troops to support you. Beyond the kilometer, to the north of Mapingli, is our army's position."
This was the last telegram, which made all the exhausted officers and soldiers of the 180th Division immediately glow with amazing strength. They were fighting against death and fighting against the sky.
Such a large team was in motion and was quickly noticed by the enemy.
At this time, the liaison officer of the U.S. Tenth Army Intelligence Office smiled mysteriously. He handed Almond a draft document, which briefly recorded the movements of the 180th Division of the Chinese Army in the past few hours. After reading it, Almond
, did not answer him immediately, but put the file on the table and continued to stare at the map.
The liaison officer said: "Your Excellency, General, the intention of the 180th Division of the Volunteer Army is obvious. They have completed the combat instructions. Their commander must have given them the order to move."
Almond looked at the map for a long time, turned around, and said to him: "Send orders to the 1st Marine Division, 7th Marine Division, Niuman's Advanced Special Forces, and the 6th Korean Division to press forward for me.
At all costs, annihilate the 180th Division. This is the primary purpose of our Tenth Army's operation. If the attack is slow and inactive, military justice will be dealt with on the spot!"
This order is the most severe one Almond has given to his subordinates since he landed in North Korea. It seems that he will never give up until the 180th Division is destroyed. At present, for him personally and even for the entire 10th Division
For the U.S. Army and even the United Nations Army, this is indeed the best time to annihilate the 180th Division. If they are killed, it will become the biggest news in the world.
Moreover, based on the current comparison of strength data, he believed that it would be unbelievable to be unable to defeat the 180th Division.
However, Almond was wrong, and very wrong. The battles in the next few days were completely beyond his expectation. After the U.S. Tenth Army discovered that the 180th Division was approaching Eagle Peak, it surrounded this large area.
The pockets are getting smaller and smaller and denser.
Rumble.
Under the dim sky, artillery fire raged and echoed across the valley for a long time.
Once the 180th Division begins to break through, the three infantry regiments will be chased, intercepted and separated by the enemy, and there will be a disconnect between the various companies.
The firelight flickered under the dim sky, coming from the other side of the mountain, and the sound echoed above the valley.
In the ravine, several figures quietly groped forward.
"Captain Xia, why haven't we found the team yet?"
Wang Huzi breathed out. He was very tired. After they withdrew from the position, they were still thinking about the materials they had moved before, so they moved to the Japanese position. However, the amount of materials was too much. How could four people move them all?
, I could only move a few boxes of food and ran forward.
Xia Yuan was limping, carrying two boxes of food, but he still didn't fall behind. He walked and stopped, but they seemed to have fallen behind. He stopped to take a rest. He looked at the surrounding highlands and said, "No, I have to go to the mountains to take a look."
.”
There were sporadic gunshots in all directions, but they were buried by the enemy's fierce artillery fire. Such a situation made even Xia Yuan feel dizzy and lost his sense of direction for a while.
"Then let's go up the mountain and take a look."
"Be careful,"
Yang Nanzhen responded, put the things he was carrying on the ground, held a gun, and motioned to Wang Huzi and Wu Liang to follow him.
"I'll go too."
Xia Yuan has night vision and eagle eyes. He lost his way and needs to find it again. He must go to the mountain.
"Wu Liang, you stay and take care of things, and be smart so that the enemy doesn't steal them," Yang Nanzhen said.
"Instructor, don't worry." Yang Nanzhen assured immediately.
The mountain is relatively steep, there are many shrubs, and there are mostly gravels on the ground, making it difficult to walk. Xia Yuan leaned on the ground with his gun and climbed up bit by bit. His arms were full of strength and he grabbed a thick branch.
Using your arm strength to pull it, you can go up easily.
"Captain Xia, listen."
Ta-ta-ta.
After they climbed up, they immediately heard the sound of gunshots in the ravine. Xia Yuan squatted on the ground and squinted. He saw about one and a half soldiers in the ravine ahead being bitten by a platoon of US troops. The two sides were fighting fiercely in the ravine.
The fighting was fierce, and the muzzle of the gun kept flashing.
"They are our people!" Wang Huzi stared at himself and said, "They must be from our 538th Regiment. There is no one else who evacuated from this place except our 538th Regiment."
"They can't seem to hold on anymore."
Yang Nanzhen squeezed his gun tightly.
"Save them!"
A squad of more than a dozen soldiers were being held tightly by a platoon of enemies. Soldiers kept being shot and fell down. The fallen soldiers shouted: "Quickly, I'll hold them back."
The enemy charged very fiercely, throwing grenades one after another. There were many gravels in the ravines, and the power of the grenade explosion was not small. With a bang, the injured soldier was killed by the enemy, and the enemies behind them pressed up and continued to chase.
They fight.
Xia Yuan raised his gun and aimed at the American second lieutenant, and decisively pulled the trigger. With a crisp gunshot, the American second lieutenant who directed the soldiers to continue the pursuit fell to the ground. The other soldiers looked at each other and looked at each other.
Bang bang bang! Immediately afterwards, they heard gunshots coming from the mountain. The people around them fell one by one. The moment the gunshots rang out, an American soldier fell to the ground with the sound of not being killed.
A scream, calling for the surviving soldiers to come and save them.
The sound of gunfire on the mountain became louder, bullets clattered on the ground, shattered into pieces, and jumped in all directions.
"Fuck!"
When the pursuing American soldiers saw something was wrong, they cursed loudly, put away their guns and ran away.
They were quite smart. There was a flickering fire on the other side of the mountain, which flickered on and off. The American devils went to the dark side of the mountain. When they got into the darkness, the Chinese couldn't see it.
But they underestimated the Chinese on the mountain. No matter where they were hiding, the bullets seemed to have eyes. From behind, they could only hear the crisp sound of big eight grains.
Snap, snap, snap.
One shot at a time.
The living American soldiers were wrapped in fear and their bodies were soaked in cold sweat.
"Devil! He is the devil!"
They screamed in terror. There were fewer and fewer people alive, and more and more people fell down.
The pursued volunteer soldiers reacted and saw that the situation had been reversed so easily. They shouted with joy: "Comrades, they are our people, go back and do your best!"
There were still seven or eight soldiers who survived. They held their guns, turned around and rushed towards the enemy, only to find that the battle was over and all the enemies were dead.
They all looked up the mountain in unison. Amidst the flickering sound of artillery fire, they vaguely saw three figures on the top of the mountain. One seemed to be sitting, and the other two were standing, and then they ran towards them.
"Comrade, thank you. If it weren't for you, we might have been killed by the enemy."
Seeing the two people coming to the foot of the mountain, the surviving soldiers stepped forward and said happily.
"Comrade, which section are you in?" Yang Nanzhen asked.
"We are from the 3rd Battalion and 8th Company of the 538th Regiment. Comrade, which unit are you in?"
"Members of the machine gun company of the 1st Battalion of the 538th Regiment, how could you be so embarrassed by the enemy?"
"We were separated from the large army and couldn't tell the direction, so we looked for the direction of the gunshots. But when we rushed over, the soldiers who were holding on had already died. The enemy soon discovered us. When they saw us
There are few people, and only one platoon of enemies was sent to chase us."
The surviving soldiers still feel lingering fear.
"I am the instructor of the machine gun company. Would you like to follow us first?"
"Instructor!! That's great!"
When the soldiers heard that the comrade in front of them turned out to be an instructor, they felt a little more at ease.
"Pack up the ammunition, change weapons when it's time to change weapons, replenish ammunition when it's time to replenish it, move quickly, the enemy may touch it at any time."
Yang Nanzhen warned quickly and turned to Wang Huzi: "You go too, we have to move faster."
The eight soldiers' hands and feet were very clean and neat, and they quickly removed the bullets and grenades from the enemy. For the guns that could not be taken away, they held the butts of their guns and smashed them on the ground until the barrels were deformed.
.
Then he came to the mountain with the captured ammunition. Xia Yuan was busy putting on his leggings. Yang Nanzhen came up with eight soldiers and said: "He is the great hero of our first battalion, the company commander of the first battalion, Xia Yuan
, you must have seen it when reading the newspaper. It was him who blew up the enemy's artillery position, seized a lot of supplies, led two combat teams, detoured behind the enemy, and assisted the main force in taking down Hill 336."
Upon hearing this, several soldiers showed happy smiles on their faces.
Yang Nanzhen explained to Xia Yuan again: "They are in the same situation as us. They all got separated from the main force."
"Then take them with you." Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly, he thought of something, stood up staggeringly, and said: "Comrades, do you have anyone who got separated from other large troops?"
After hearing this, several soldiers quickly said: "Captain Xia, yes, our entire company was scattered by the enemy. We can't contact each other. Even we ourselves don't know if we are running to the right place."
A soldier also said: "We have all thought about it. If we can't find a large force, we will fight guerrillas in the mountains."
"If a company is like this, I estimate that there are quite a few troops scattered by the enemy." Xia Yuan had a new idea, "Instructor Yang, we are going to find those soldiers who have left alone and gather them together.
The sand turns into a stone."
"Company commander, instructor, the enemy is coming!"
Wang Huzi suddenly shouted in a suppressed voice.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert and looked for cover on the spot, looking down the mountain.
About a hundred foreign devils appeared in the valley. These foreign devils saw the corpses of their own people lying in the valley. On the other hand, there were only a few corpses of the volunteer soldiers who were killed in the valley. The American lieutenant who led the team
Angry, they looked deep into the ravine, but they did not dare to pursue rashly. Their large army had not yet penetrated deeply, so they pursued rashly. The mountains on both sides were too high, and it was easy for them to be ambushed by the Chinese. Once they entered the encirclement of the Chinese, it would be difficult to escape.
Unlikely.
"These American devils are very sensible." Xia Yuan stared, holding his gun.
"Captain Xia, do we want to fight?" a young soldier asked.
"Have you collected the remains of the fallen soldiers?"
Xia Yuan looked back at them.
Several people shook their heads.
Xia Yuan's eyes moved, he held the gun in his hand and said: "The fight is not only for the remains of a few soldiers, but also for the tens of thousands of soldiers. Regardless of whether this group of foreign devils can be eliminated or not, they must be eliminated."
The beating hurts, and if they see us, we have to tuck our tails between our legs!"
The eight warriors who were being chased were feeling depressed. After hearing Xia Yuan's words, their fighting enthusiasm surged.
Yang Nanzhen grinned. He understood that this was to teach these soldiers a lesson and bring them infinite self-confidence. Yang Nanzhen was convinced of Xia Yuan, and there were only three of them left in the cannon battery.
Personally, it is better to follow Xia Yuan.
He was also thinking about what Xia Yuan said.
Find those soldiers who were scattered by the enemy. The scattered ones are like a plate of sand, and the solidified ones are like a piece of stone. That’s so good!
Wang Huzhu called Wu Liang up. They were lying in ambush on the ravine, using the flickering artillery fire in the distance to stare at the US troops shaking below. There were more than a hundred soldiers. The soldiers were not afraid. They held the guns in their hands and looked murderous on their faces.
meaning.
Without a detailed battle plan, accompanied by the flickering light of distant artillery fire and the light of illumination bombs, Xia Yuan took the lead in pulling the trigger and shot the American squad leader. The gunfire suddenly rang out, and the soldiers seemed to hear it.
With the sound of a starting gun, the triggers were pulled one after another, and rows of bullets swept down. Several American soldiers were lying on the ground on the spot.
"Move! Move!"
The American soldiers who were carrying the corpse suddenly panicked. They crouched down, straightened their helmets, and fired at the top of the mountain. The squad leader's adjutant saw that the squad leader was dead, and the body began to turn cold. He yelled at the top of his lungs, but there was no sound at all.
I want to fight them.
This was beyond Xia Yuan's expectation. The foreign devils left more than a dozen corpses behind and then disappeared without a trace.
"How did this foreign devil run so fast!" Wang Huzi was dumbfounded. There were only a few of them, and they were not very aggressive. How could these more than a hundred foreign devils run away?
This was beyond the expectations of the other soldiers. They thought there would be a tough battle next. Looking at the escaping foreigners, a young soldier smiled and said: "They are running so fast. I am rushing to reincarnate."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The soldiers smiled knowingly.
Xia Yuan stood up and said: "Look, these American devils are not a big deal. They are just a bunch of paper tigers. Apart from having better weapons and equipment than us, what else can they compare with us? Victory must belong to us!"
"Victory must belong to us!"
The soldiers raised their arms and shouted!
"Pick up the bodies of your fallen comrades and move quickly. Wang Huzi and Wu Liang, you are responsible for the vigilance!"
Xia Yuan looked at the retreating US troops and knew very well that this US army did not supervise the battle team, and he shot and killed their company commander, prompting them to retreat quickly. In fact, if every battle can destroy the enemy's supervising troops,
If the team is shot dead, the US military will actually quickly lose the will to fight. When they see that there is no team to supervise the battle in the rear, they will run very fast.
