Chapter 166 The troops are divided into two groups
Take the Korean army as a reference. On the Korean battlefield, they were said to be faster than bullets.
Of course, it doesn't mean how fast they pursued, but how fast they retreated. It is said that the Korean army had already disappeared as soon as the battle started.
When Commander Walker was still here, what he often said was:
"The South Korean troops on my right wing are missing";
"The South Korean troops on my left wing are missing";
"Go find them, order them, don't run away, return to the battlefield!"
Li Qiwei even commented on them: "They can do nothing but run. Intercepting such a defeated army is like intercepting an avalanche, because their retreating speed is three times that of their advance!"
Looking at it now, the U.S. military is actually pretty much the same.
No, it should be the U.S. military without a combat team.
Xia Yuan touched his chin.
After packing up the bodies of their comrades, everyone dug a pit for them on the mountain and built a pile of stones. Xia Yuan led them to stand on the mountain, and the flickering firelight reflected the pitch-black cheeks.
The team moved around for more than three hours. Along the way, they rescued many soldiers who were surrounded by the enemy or were being chased by the enemy. The team that originally only had four people had already grown into two platoons.
The few three boxes of cans were slightly processed by the cooking warriors. They cooked a pot of salty soup, sprinkled some wild vegetables, and paired it with canned lunch meat. The taste was quite delicious.
In addition to the salty soup, there was also sugar water mixed with canned fruits, and some candies were also thrown into the pot to boil. Even such a simple soup was eaten by the soldiers with gusto.
"Company commander, this is the best meal we have had in a while."
The soldiers sat around Xia Yuan, holding empty cans in their hands, with smiles on their dark faces.
"If we don't have anything to eat, we will seize it from the foreign devils. If they have money, they will do the same as they used to do to the landowners. If they capture one, it will be enough for us to eat for several days."
Xia Yuan stood up and said cheerfully to everyone.
Unknowingly, he pulled out another team. These people were supposed to be sacrificed by the enemy's guns, but he rescued them.
The soldiers said that there were still many troops that had been dispersed, and Xia Yuan also realized that there were more people waiting for them. But before taking action, the soldiers had to eat and drink well. This meal was considered as a meal for the four soldiers.
All the food that people had worked so hard to carry was eaten.
Everyone came from various armies, including the 538th Regiment, the 539th Regiment, and the 540th Regiment. They were all troops broken up by the enemy. Xia Yuan and Yang Nanzhen discussed carefully and decided
Temporarily reorganize everyone into the 538th Regiment Machine Gun Company for the convenience of management.
"Many of the rescued comrades are squad leaders. We can let them continue to serve as squad leaders, break up all the people, and then redistribute them."
While resting in the ravine, Xia Yuan had a brief meeting with Yang Nanzhen.
Yang Nanzhen said: "Captain Xia, do you really plan to lead them out of the encirclement?"
Xia Yuan sighed and said: "Instructor Yang, the situation is actually far worse than you imagine. We have to rescue these soldiers who should have been sacrificed. The more people we solve, the more likely we will be in the next battle."
Have the strength to deal with the American devils."
Yang Nanzhen is the company instructor, and he has no access to higher-level secrets. The company's mission is to obey the orders issued by superiors. Maybe they don't know until their death what they are trying to stop the enemy, or even why they sacrificed their lives.
After that, the future of the army, the future of war, and even the future of New China.
The only thing they know clearly is that if they don't stand up, the motherland they have worked so hard to build will fall into war again.
Yang Nanzhen was silent for a long time and said: "Captain Xia, please go ahead and do it freely. Without you, we might have died long ago."
"I've already figured out what to do!"
Xia Yuan stood up.
The mission of these people is to stay behind the 180th Division and stop the enemy. Since they cannot change the overall fate of the 180th Division, they should do what they can.
The most important thing right now is to rescue more volunteer soldiers.
"The remaining food will be distributed to the wounded first, weapons and ammunition will be checked, and we are ready to go."
Xia Yuan stood up and put the gun behind his back.
Several soldiers who were on guard on the mountain slid down and joined the team. The wounded carrying stretchers walked in the middle of the team. Yang Nanzhen led a squad of soldiers to guard at the end of the team, while Xia Yuan led the other soldiers.
Go at the front of the line.
The hillsides on both sides began to become gentle, spreading continuously into the distance. Sporadic gunfire sounded continuously in the surrounding wilderness. They followed the direction of the gunfire, looking for more soldiers who might not have died.
"Company Commander, there is a situation ahead!"
A soldier in charge of the investigation ran down from the mountain and said quickly.
"Ready to fight!"
Xia Yuan held the gun behind him in front of him and immediately gave the order to fight.
The soldiers crouched on the ground, close to the bushes on both sides of the road, looking for bunkers nearby. The seriously wounded on the stretchers also grasped the grenades tightly.
Rumbling, distant artillery fire echoed in the valley, the flames of the artillery fire flickered in the sky, and the sound of gunfire came from the other side of the mountain, noisy and chaotic.
Yang Nanzhen and his people quickly came to the front, squatted on the ground and asked about the situation.
"The fierce fighting ahead means that our people are probably blocking the enemy. I'm going to investigate the specific situation." Xia Yuan said calmly: "Instructor Yang, you wait here with your people first, Wang Huzi, Wu Liang,
You two come with me."
"Why!"
"Wait a minute, you must be more careful when you go this time." Yang Nanzhen said worriedly.
"Don't worry, instructor, you don't know the company commander's marksmanship yet." Wang Huzi is very confident in Xia Yuan. During this roundabout battle, every time he fought beautifully, he can always annihilate more enemies with minimal casualties.
The enemy, even with one platoon, completely wiped out two enemy platoons and captured a large number of guns and ammunition.

After these few battles, the results were very fruitful. No one in the team did not admire the man who walked with a slight limp.
Watching the three people leave, Yang Nanzhen waved his hand: "Stay vigilant! Platoon Commander Wang, you took two soldiers to the top of the mountain to be vigilant!"
Platoon Leader Wang was a platoon leader. He was a platoon leader himself. His company was dispersed. He took a squad of soldiers to a ravine and hid. He collided with Xia Yuan and others who were moving forward.
On the way, he joined Xia Yuan's team.
Platoon leader Wang immediately led two soldiers to the hillsides on both sides, maintaining sufficient vigilance.
"Company commander, look!"
On the other side, Wu Liang held his gun and carefully came to the top of the hill. Under the flickering firelight in the distance, he suddenly saw the US military all over the mountains attacking a hilltop of the Volunteer Army. At the foot of the mountain, the enemy tank troops were advancing towards the mountain.
The weeds on the gently sloping road were crushed by the tanks' tracks. Once the tanks reached high ground, they probably wouldn't be able to stand it anymore.
Xia Yuan turned on his eagle eyes, and when the night vision dispelled the darkness, his eyes moved slightly.
The number of volunteer defenders on the hilltop was not large. After a tough blocking battle, only about one platoon of volunteer soldiers were left struggling to hold on.
Artillery fire raged on the position, locust-like enemies swarmed over, and the muzzle flashes of gunfire on the mountain kept flickering.
"Company commander." Wang Huzi lay on the ground, grabbing the weeds on the ground with all his strength, and shouted softly.
"Don't worry." Xia Yuan observed for a while and confirmed that their position was not occupied by the enemy, then said: "Look for the instructor, leave two groups of soldiers to take care of the wounded, and everyone else will come over."
"yes!"
More than seventy people were hiding on the reverse slope of the mountain. Yang Nanzhen observed the battle in the distance through a telescope with only one tube left, and frowned: "The attacking enemy has a battalion, but the firepower of this company is not enough."
Strong, they may be running out of ammunition."
"That's the situation." Xia Yuan nodded.
Yang Nanzhen put down the telescope and asked: "Company Commander Xia, how do you plan to fight?"
Xia Yuan said: "First blow up the enemy's artillery position first!"
Yang Nanzhen made an observation and found that the enemy's artillery fire was very fierce. It was estimated that there was an artillery company behind the enemy. Their position was very good. On the enemy's flank, the enemy who was busy attacking the high ground did not set up defenses here. Through detours, it was really possible.
Go around to the enemy artillery position.
"A good idea, we can divide into two teams, one team to support the comrades on the high ground, and the other team to bomb the enemy's artillery positions."
Xia Yuan agreed with Yang Nan's plan to divide the troops into two groups, "I will lead a group of people to bomb the enemy's artillery positions."
Yang Nanzhen turned to look at him and said: "Captain Xia, you take the people to reinforce the brothers' troops. I will blow up. Your legs are not convenient for movement and the enemy's artillery position will be blown up. Once the enemy comes after you, run away."
If you are not fast, it will be easy for the enemy to catch up."
"You underestimate me."
"Don't underestimate it, just in case. And the enemy attacks so fiercely. Only you can suppress the enemy. You have to go to reinforce the position on the mountain."
"Then you have to come back alive."
"Don't worry, I'm lucky."
Yang Nanzhen led a platoon of soldiers to detour along the mountain to the enemy's rear. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Wang Huzi and Wu Liang: "Protect Captain Xia. If something happens, I will look for you two."
trouble."
"yes!"
The two of them responded.
Xia Yuan settled the wounded and led the soldiers from another platoon towards the high ground.
The troops on the mountain belonged to the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 539th Regiment. The person responsible for commanding the battle was platoon leader Sun Sijia. In the continuous battle to block the enemy, they faced the enemy's fierce attack and held on for a full three hours.
A platoon's instructor and company commander also died in this battle. He took over the instructor's command and led the soldiers to block the attack with difficulty.
"You little brat, what's wrong? You've already done this and you're scared to death? Get up!"
Platoon Leader Sun grabbed a young soldier lying on the ground. The young soldier was covered in blood and had no movement. He was stunned for a moment, with sorrow on his face. He looked at the enemy with angry eyes and picked up the guy on the ground.
Pull the trigger on the charging enemy.
Click, click.
The magazine is empty.
"Old Sun!"
The deputy platoon leader's surname was Zheng, who had the same surname as the division commander. He pressed Platoon Leader Sun's head and they fell to the ground together.
Boom boom boom!
After three rounds of shelling, the two patted the soil on their bodies. Deputy platoon leader Zheng was very excited and shouted: "You don't want your life!"
"Old Zheng, our ninth company has been destroyed."
Platoon Leader Sun was sad and threw the empty gun aside, saying: "Damn it, there are more than a hundred brothers in a company, but only this many are left in a blocking battle, and there is no ammunition. I hate it.
!”
Deputy platoon leader Zheng was silent for a moment. The enemy's artillery shells fell on the position again. The soldiers were still holding on. He yelled: "You are confused. Do you still remember what the instructor told us when he died? We must defend the position."
, we haven’t lost our position yet! Get up quickly, you are an old comrade too, you won’t be afraid of others laughing at you if you speak out.”
Deputy platoon leader Zheng gasped and frowned, "The people in my hometown are still waiting for us to win the war. We cannot let them down."
He had no strength to speak, and the gunshots all around him were too loud, so he yelled at the top of his voice to Platoon Leader Sun, fearing that he wouldn't hear. His abdomen suddenly stretched, and blood kept flowing.
When Platoon Leader Sun saw it, he was shocked and asked quickly: "Old Zheng, you!?"
As he continued to speak, Deputy Platoon Commander Zheng covered his mouth, shook his head, and motioned for him to be silent. The comrades around him were all looking for their own bunkers to avoid the shelling, and did not see their movements.
Platoon Leader Sun lowered his voice and said, "But this won't work either. Let the health workers bandage you quickly."
Deputy platoon leader Zheng shook his head and said: "No, now the health workers are holding rifles to fight the enemy. I still have to fight with the brothers, so as not to be a burden to everyone. A small piece of shell skin jumped in. It is not deep and will not be in the way.
Son, hurry up and stop the enemy. Don't lose your position, otherwise the sacrifice of the previous comrades will be in vain."
Platoon Leader Sun had tears in his eyes, but under such circumstances, he couldn't care about it. He thought to himself that perhaps listening to Deputy Platoon Leader Zheng would be the greatest comfort to him. If a fight breaks out, I will take more care of him.
Take care of him.
The sound of tanks' tracks scraping against the mountain road is getting closer and closer. Just now, they were just spinning around at the foot of the mountain, firing continuously towards the mountain. Now they are driving deeper into the position. They have already lost the forward position, and there are enemies everywhere on the position.
bodies, as well as the remains of his own comrades.
The U.S. tank driver inhumanely ran over the corpses of his comrades and enemies. Suddenly, the tracks were dyed bright red, and blood flowed down the ditches.
When the soldiers holding the position saw this scene, their hearts burned with rage, and everyone's blood rushed to their heads.
"The guy next door to Special Code, I'm going to deal with him severely!"
A soldier's eyes were splitting. He threw away his gun, grabbed the explosive bag next to him, rolled down from the trench, and rolled into the crater. The enemy's bullets hit the soil in the crater, and the soil splashed and pressed him up.
