After everyone left, Zhao Xiaoyi sat down next to Xia Yuan and asked questions. The most asked question was why his marksmanship was so good.
Xia Yuan did not hide it. After fighting for such a long time, he had quite a lot of shooting experience.
After Zhao Xiaoyi listened, he was thoughtful, and soon he was holding a gun and lying on the ground to practice.
Xia Yuan looked at the position with some boredom. The fifth company commander refused to let him dig trenches, obviously treating him as a treasure.
Just now he was thinking about digging a trench. Then after seeing the way the soldiers of the fifth company dug trenches, he understood why the commander of the fifth company didn't let him dig trenches.
The air was cold and snowflakes were still floating in the sky. Fortunately, the enemy's artillery shells loosened the frozen soil on the position. The soldiers stabbed the ground with their bayonets, breaking open the frozen soil. The rocks came out, and then they picked them up with both hands.
The soldiers' hands were already red and swollen from the cold, and this digging method soon caused their fingers to be scratched and covered with a layer of sticky mud.
It's no wonder why the trenches were so shallow when he came to the position. This method of digging was very inefficient.
However, the soldiers relied on a strong will to dig three winding trenches on the position, which were enough to prevent aerial strafing.
At this time, Dai Wenli, the cultural instructor of the Fifth Company, climbed up to the position and brought small shovels to the Fifth Company. The soldiers all smiled happily and distributed the small shovels. The efficiency of digging trenches was greatly improved.
"Dai Wenli, I just heard what Lao Han said. Thanks to you, they were able to counterattack the enemy so quickly." Dai Wenli found Xia Yuan and saw with his own eyes the sharpshooter mentioned by the fifth company commander.
Dai Wenli, a member of the Communist Youth League, 24 years old, from Hanshou County, Nanhu, joined the army after finishing middle school. He is an intellectual with no combat experience.
Like many young intellectuals who came to the army, he was full of revolutionary pride and put his own life and death at risk.
When the army attacked Feihu Mountain, he was ordered to lead a stretcher team to transport the wounded. Many young intellectuals assigned to the company actively took on such tasks during the battle.
Dai Wenli, like everyone who participated in the battle for the first time, felt that every enemy shell and bullet was flying towards him. Hearing the rumbling sound on the mountain and the bullets flying everywhere, Dai Wenli squatted at the foot of the mountain and didn't know what to do.
How to move, the heart beats violently.
He asked himself: "Can I be so scared! Why am I squatting here? Didn't I write in my book of determination that I would face the training and test of me?"
Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly, climbed up the mountain, and got into a small forest. With a duang sound, a cannonball landed not far from him and exploded. The broken shrapnel shot into the surrounding pitch pine tree trunks.
Involuntarily, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
There was a crunching sound from the big tree in front of me, but I saw that the big tree fell to the ground.
His heart was pounding, and suddenly he saw another soldier rolling down the mountain, but then the soldier got up again, raised the grenade and rushed towards the mountain.
The soldier looked very young, even younger than him.
Dai Wenli seemed to be greatly inspired, "Can't I move forward?"
Gritting his teeth, he got up from the ground and climbed up to the position with a stretcher.
The fifth company commander saw him and said with concern: "How's it going, Dai Wenli, is this the first time for a big girl to ride in a sedan chair?"
Dai Wenli smiled forcefully and blushed. He felt that he was still far from being a real warrior.
It was his first time on the battlefield, and the whole process was quite thrilling, but he also managed to transport two wounded people from the battlefield, which is worth remembering for the rest of his life.
Seeing Xia Yuan's young face, Dai Wenli felt even more ashamed. He communicated with Xia Yuan for a while, and then went to help the soldiers dig trenches.
Just when the trenches were dug halfway, the enemy began to bombard the fifth company with fierce artillery fire.
"Hide quickly!" Zhao Xiaoyi shouted, and the two jumped into the trench and huddled together.
Dozens of artillery shells shook the mountain tops, and branches cut off by shrill shrapnel fell to the ground one after another. Within a few minutes, the few pitch pines that were still full of bullet holes on the position turned into bare tree stumps.
Lao Qi, who commanded the second platoon stationed at the forward position, looked at the smoke-filled position and the continuous roar, and realized: "The enemy is going to use artillery fire to destroy the fifth company!"
The enemy's artillery fire kept ringing out, and even if the trenches were dug deep enough, the trenches turned into shallow ditches under the continuous bombardment of the enemy's artillery fire. Many soldiers were buried in the soil, and when they struggled out, they were rolled over their heads.
Bury the raised soil into it.
Suddenly, someone on the battlefield shouted: "The enemy is coming!!"
But this sound was swallowed up by artillery fire.
Wu Jingwen, the machine gunner of the fifth company, heard the sound and did not bother hiding in the trench to avoid the enemy's shells. He controlled the captured machine gun and turned the muzzle to shoot at the enemies behind him. However, the enemy was outnumbered and the enemy still rushed to the position.
At this moment, the enemy's artillery fire stopped, and the soldiers in the second row immediately jumped out of the fortification, waving their rifle butts and smashing into it.
Soldier Zhang You finished shooting the bullets, broke the butt of the gun, grabbed the enemy with his last hand, pushed hard, and threw the two enemies down the mountainous area.
At this moment, a shell exploded next to Zhang You, and shrapnel sliced off his hands. Fortunately, the soldiers of the stretcher team rescued him, and the health workers quickly bandaged him and quickly moved him to the rear.
The battle continues.
The soldiers in the second row fought fiercely with the enemy. Xia Yuan did not stop and kept pulling the trigger, knocking down the enemies who rushed to the position one by one and relieving the pressure on the second row.
Night fell over the mountains, and the second platoon withdrew from the forward position to the main position. Everyone was tired and hungry, and they didn't care to say anything to the company commander. When Lao Qi saw the company commander, he asked: "Have you eaten the box of canned beef we were given?"
The fifth company commander smiled and said: "I've kept it for you, Zhao Xiaoyi, take it and give it to me."
This was the trophy they got from fighting Xichuan, and they never wanted to eat it.
Zhao Xiaoyi opened the can with a bayonet, and Lao Qi ate it hungrily.
The commanders and soldiers of the fifth company were also tired and hungry. They had been hungry on the battlefield. Lao Qi shared with them several times, but they refused. The commander of the fifth company said: "You are the most tired and hungry, you eat first."
Bar."
While Lao Qi was eating, he suddenly remembered the safety on the battlefield, put down the can, and said to the fifth company commander with a swipe of his mouth: "I'm going to check the fortifications of each platoon."
Lao Qi had just walked out of the air-raid shelter. After taking a few steps, he felt his body tremble. A bullet grazed his left shoulder and then his belly. He opened his cotton-padded jacket. The frightened Lao Qi turned back and said to the company commander.
Said: "Company commander, don't run around, be careful, look!"
He lifted up his cotton-padded clothes that were torn by shrapnel and bullets, and chuckled: "We are determined to survive, and the Lord of Hell insists on not wanting us."
Late at night, culture instructor Dai Wenli ran to the battlefield with several boxes of cans and said to the fifth company commander: "Old Han, look what this is."
"Canned food, where did it come from?" The fifth company commander took it and asked with a surprised look on his face.
Their logistics supplies haven't arrived yet. Could it be that the logistics supplies have arrived?
"They were distributed in the camp. It was said that the first battalion won the battle and captured a lot of good things. We will distribute them to our troops guarding the main peak first." Culture teacher Dai Wenli said: "I will distribute these cans to each platoon.
Let everyone eat something to satisfy their hunger."
"Go ahead and dodge some enemy bullets on the way."
"Don't worry, the enemy is probably sleeping soundly at this moment."
The fifth company commander distributed the cans to everyone, took out another box of cans and handed them to Xia Yuan: "Eat it, this is what your battalion seized."
"Fifth company commander, I don't need it. When I came here, company commander Sun gave me a box of cans." Xia Yuan smiled. This thing was what they captured. When they were in the woods, the American devils ate a lot of good things.
The soldiers ate and cleaned the battlefield.
He also ate a lot.
"Okay, Zhao Xiaoyi, you can keep this box of cans and you two can eat them when you are hungry."
"Why!"
"Pan Yun, where is Pan Yun?" the fifth company commander called again.
"Here it is."
Xia Yuan saw a young soldier running towards him with vigorous movements. He asked Zhao Xiaoyi, "Communicator?"
"How do you know?" Zhao Xiaoyi was a little surprised that he guessed it right at once.
Is there any need to guess? You can tell by looking at his attire, the other party's trousers, and the fact that he is as short as Zhao Xiaoyi.
"The same correspondent as me, but now I'm like a guard." Zhao Xiaoyi said.
The fifth company commander was explaining things to Pan Yun.
After a while, Pan Yun ran away.
At midnight, the commander of the fourth company led the guards to the fifth company's position.
"The hilltop in front is occupied by American soldiers. Our superiors asked us to take him down tonight. At this point, I think the American soldiers have already fallen asleep. This is the best time for us to fight back." The fifth company commander looked at the time and said,
It was already two o'clock in the morning, and there were still three or four hours left before dawn. They wanted to knock down the enemy on the top of the mountain in the shortest possible time.
In silence, the two briefly discussed the details of the battle and decided to adopt the plan of attacking in the east and attacking in the west.
The fifth company is facing the hilltop, and the fourth company is on the right side of the hilltop.
The plan is very simple. The fifth company attacks the enemy from the left first. When the enemy's center of gravity on the mountain begins to move to the left, the fourth company takes advantage of it and rushes into the right side at an extremely fast speed to relieve the pressure on the fifth company.
By the way, we cooperated with Five in a row to take down the mountain.
The two set the time for thirty minutes later.
The fourth company commander left in a hurry with the guards.
The fifth company commander immediately summoned the troops, leaving one squadron on the position and taking the 60th man with him. After checking the weapons, equipment and ammunition, they began to move down the mountain.
"Your marksmanship is great. Can you hit the enemy's machine gun fire point in the bunker?"
While walking along the steep mountain road towards the hilltop occupied by the enemy, the fifth company commander walked up to Xia Yuan and asked.
"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded.
"Great, with your words, the next task will be much easier!" The fifth company commander knew Xia Yuan's marksmanship. If he said he could, he would be able to knock out the enemy's machine gun fire points. In this way,
Come, they don't need to be suppressed by the enemy's machine gun fire points, and they don't need the soldiers of the demolition team to sacrifice their lives to gain the enemy's fire points.
Soon, two people were hiding in the ravine on the left side of the mountain. The fifth company commander found a place with a faint light and looked at the time on his watch. After confirming that there were only a few minutes left, he immediately ordered the soldiers to start.
Attack the mountain!
They had already scouted the enemy on the hilltop. The enemy had not laid any mines along the way. There were only machine gun fire points built by the enemy on the hilltop using trees.
Two platoons were scattered among the mountains and fields. As the whistle sounded, the soldiers worked in groups of three and three and began to attack the enemy on the hilltop.
At this moment, just as the fifth company commander and others thought, the enemies had all fallen asleep, and the only two enemies were on guard in the position.
The two of them were looking at their cigarettes and chatting about what had happened in the past few days, mostly related to the group of soldiers from China on the opposite position.
China, they know, is very backward and very poor.
This is how their commander described the enemy.
They are a group of savages who know how to use firearms.
However, the situation on the Korean battlefield has changed dramatically in the past few days. The US military, the world's most powerful country and invincible, was actually beaten to a pulp by what their commander called "a group of savages who know how to use firearms."
But so far, the enemy has captured Feihu Mountain and is firmly entrenched in Feihu Mountain. Their troops have been fighting for two days and have not been able to knock down the enemy on the top of the mountain.
Coupled with the defeat in the frontline war and the fact that this was an evil invasion war, many of them became war-weary, had low fighting mood, and had low morale.
"I want to go home, I miss my wife, she's pregnant, damn, maybe we shouldn't be here."
"You're right, it's so cold in damn North Korea. I miss my fireplace. I like to sit in front of the fireplace and read a book."
"I really hope this damn war can end soon. I want to go home."
Two American soldiers pinched off their cigarette butts and complained. Little did they know that in the dark wilderness between the ravines, a group of volunteer soldiers were approaching quietly.
"Two guard posts." Xia Yuan used his eagle eye and night vision to scan over and found the location of the two US military sentries.
"Where is it?" The fifth company commander was surprised. He looked around and saw that the enemy's position was completely dark.
"I can see them right in front. There are only two sentry posts. It can be seen that these American troops are very relaxed." Xia Yuan said softly.
"I'll give you two men. Go up and kill their sentry post. Can you do it?" The fifth company commander immediately changed the battle plan.
In the past, they were not clear about the US military sentry posts, and most of them were exposed during the process, and fought with the enemy.
Now, Xia Yuan could actually see the American troops on the position, so there was no need to rush forward directly and risk being exposed.
Kill the enemy's sentry posts and their soldiers can enter the enemy's position silently.
"Yes!" Xia Yuan nodded.
"Okay, Yang Dexing, Lu Shengrong, you two will follow him!"
These two soldiers are scouts of the fifth company. Those who can be used as scouts usually have strong combat capabilities, strong anti-reconnaissance awareness, and even very strong fighting abilities.
"yes!"
Yang Dexing and Lu Shengrong answered in unison.
Watching the three people climb over the reverse slope and approach the enemy position.
The fifth company commander immediately ordered: "Get ready to fight!"
