After several days of continuous fighting, all the ammunition carried by the troops was almost exhausted, and each battalion requested ammunition support.
Even if their battalion sticks to the hill, it consumes a lot of ammunition. At present, the ammunition reserves in the battalion headquarters have been exhausted. The first company on the battlefield in front of the hill has consumed a huge amount. There is currently an ammunition shortage, even for the third company.
A part of it was given, but the battle consumption gradually advanced as the war progressed.
Logistics is always in a hurry and can only get out but not get in. Even if the soldiers attack in a hurry, it still won't work.
Feng Yuxiang often went to the regiment headquarters for this reason. The regiment leaders were also worried about the ammunition consumption problem. Fan Tianen was at a loss and asked the division several times. The answer he received was always: "The ammunition has not been delivered. You have to fight for the ammunition in the hands of the enemy."
, you must hold your position!"
Therefore, Fan Tianen's answer to the battalion commanders was the same as the answer given to him by the division.
Fan Tianen had no choice but to solve the problem of ammunition shortage.
Feng Yuxiang was also very troubled by this. The ammunition situation of the Third Company was also not good. In the past few times, the First Company was short of ammunition. In addition to running to the regiment headquarters, he also ran to the Third Company. The Third Company was the one with the least shortage of ammunition in the First Battalion.
company, and their ability to seize ammunition is also very strong.
Every time he went there, he returned with a full load, which relieved a lot of the pressure from the shortage of ammunition on the first and second companies.
In fact, Feng Yuxiang was quite fond of Xia Yuan, but his idea was too wild and unreasonable to attack the enemy's base. Feng Yuxiang was shocked at first when he heard it. He was too courageous and did not take the enemy seriously at all.
This is no small matter.
Company Commander Sun said: "Batalion Commander, you always go to our company to get ammunition. No matter how much we seize, we can't stand you taking it like this. There is no ammunition in the regiment. If this battle doesn't end, once a protracted battle begins,
In the future, the issue of ammunition consumption will become the biggest problem for our battalion, and this problem will have to be solved sooner or later."
"I think we can let Xia Yuan give it a try."
Feng Yuxiang thought about it for a long time, but couldn't think of a solution. He could only say: "I have to ask the group about this matter. You can come with me."
Captain Sun nodded, this matter is not a trivial matter after all, and it is only natural that he should report it to the regiment.
At this time, the second battalion commander was at the regiment headquarters asking Commander Fan for weapons and equipment, "After guarding for so many days, the soldiers are short of food and ammunition. Commander, you have to give me some ammunition, otherwise this battle will be impossible."
Keep going."
Fan Tianen said helplessly: "Lao Zhang, the ammunition from the logistics cannot be transported. The regiment's ammunition reserve has been exhausted long ago. You have to overcome the difficulties and find a way from the enemy."
The second battalion commander said: "Commander, I must have thought of this method, but you have also seen the situation. The enemies killed have very little ammunition, and the soldiers can replenish even less ammunition."
We have experienced shortages of food and ammunition before, but this is different from the domestic battlefield. It doesn't take long for logistics to supply food and ammunition, and there are ordinary people supporting everyone, so no one even feels it.
Once they arrived on an unfamiliar battlefield, they faced language barriers, and their logistics were blocked by the powerful U.S. Air Force. The supply routes faced tremendous pressure, and they on the front line also faced tremendous pressure.
Fan Tianen was also distressed by the shortage of food and ammunition.
The second battalion commander sighed helplessly. He had come several times and got the same result.
As soon as he walked out of the regiment headquarters, he saw First Battalion Commander Feng Yuxiang and Third Company Commander Sun Xiangcheng walking towards the regiment headquarters. Seeing Second Battalion Commander Zhang Biao, Feng Yuxiang greeted him: "Lao Zhang, you are here too."
Seeing a hint of helplessness on Zhang Biao's face, he asked again: "What's going on?"
"We are not worried about the ammunition." Zhang Biao said helplessly: "The Fifth Company has been holding on to the main peak for a long time. The ammunition is being consumed very quickly. The commander of the Fifth Company has been running to the battalion headquarters frequently. They all need ammunition, but the battle
After fighting for so long, where is the ammunition? If your battalion had not provided some support earlier, I estimate that the ammunition of the fifth company would have been exhausted long ago."
After a pause, he asked again: "Oh, by the way, how is your battalion's ammunition consumption? Do you still have any ammunition?"
Feng Yuxiang said with a wry smile: "There is no ammunition. The ammunition supported by the third company has been used up long ago."
The second battalion commander sighed helplessly and said: "The enemy's offensive has suddenly become more fierce in the past two days, and the ammunition consumption is huge. If all the ammunition is used up, I really don't know how the next battle will be fought, and how the position will be maintained."
Keep."
He looked at the two of them: "If you are here to ask for ammunition, forget it and think more about how to seize ammunition from the enemy. Lao Feng, you have done a good job three times in a row. If you seize ammunition again, you must give it to me."
We’ll send some over, for sure.”
"good!"
Feng Yuxiang glanced at Captain Sun, and felt a little more determined to convince the regiment leader to agree to Captain Sun's plan.
Regiment Headquarters.
Fan Tianen's face became more sad.
As soon as the second battalion commander Zhang Biao left, the first battalion commander Feng Yuxiang came over. Fan Tianen rubbed his head and said: "Feng Yuxiang, if you came here to ask for ammunition, there is no ammunition. The situation of your third company should be better. Report
My correspondents have frequently reported to me that you have won many battles."
When Feng Yuxiang heard this, he said with a smile: "Captain, you are mistaken. We are not here to ask for ammunition, but we have other things to report to you. Sun Xiangcheng, tell the commander about the situation on the other side in detail."
"Yes!" Captain Sun stepped forward and came to the table, where a sandbox model and a map were placed. He pointed to the ravine between the two mountains and said, "The enemy in front of us is in this area.
....."
Sun Xiangcheng carefully explained to Commander Fan the distribution of enemy positions, sentry posts, barbed wire mines, machine gun bunkers and even hidden sentries, etc.
Commander Fan listened, the expression on his face became more and more surprised. After Sun Xiangcheng finished speaking, he asked: "How long have you been investigating the situation of the enemy's station so well?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Not long, just two days." Sun Xiangcheng answered truthfully.
Captain Fan was surprised and said: "How many scouts went there and how long did it take?"
Sun Xiangcheng said: "It's not much. Xia Yuan took two soldiers there, and it only took two days."
"Xia Yuan, you are that very capable little soldier." Commander Fan said, "In two days, you were able to understand the enemy's location so thoroughly. If you are capable, you are here to talk about the enemy's location.
?Tell me your thoughts."
Sun Xiangcheng said: "Captain, Xia Yuan has entered the U.S. division's station before and seized a truck of supplies. This puppet army is not as good as the U.S. Army. Xia Yuan wants to take advantage of the enemy's sleep to get in and get some supplies.
, and by the way, let’s see if we can capture the enemy’s artillery positions and headquarters.”
Captain Fan fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the two of them, "You two came here together. It seems that you agree with Xia Yuan's idea?"
The two nodded together.
Captain Fan said: "The idea is good, do you have a combat plan, and do you need the cooperation of other troops? These are the key points. Our enemy in front has about two thousand troops, and our regiment is short of food and ammunition, and it is quite tiring to hold on to the position.
, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack, you all need to understand these situations."
Sun Xiangcheng said: "Captain, you don't need the cooperation of other troops, you only need the third company. The plan is like this..."
Xia Yuan's plan is very simple, peripheral harassment, the real point is to start blasting from inside the enemy, and this requires a very capable soldier to lead, otherwise the plan of blasting from the inside will be difficult to realize.
After so many battles, Xia Yuan's name was well-known in the 335th Regiment. He entered the camp of the US division, drove out a truck full of supplies, and successfully returned to the army with a few stragglers.
.
Not only that, in the subsequent war, Xia Yuan showed strong combat capabilities, not to mention leading two platoons to destroy an enemy company, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition, alleviating the food shortage of the first battalion.
Due to the bomb situation, the regiment headquarters was then transferred to the main peak, and successfully captured the hilltop position without spending a single soldier.
The division headquarters could no longer give him credit for all these achievements. Instead, it wrote a report on Xia Yuan's deeds and submitted it to the military headquarters. It is estimated that the military merits issued by the military headquarters will soon go to the third company.
At present, the 335th Regiment has been fighting the enemy for a week, and the battle is quite fierce. The situation and dilemma faced by the 335th Regiment are also very fatal.
At this juncture, Xia Yuan led the third company to raid the enemy's camp. In fact, Fan Tianen had already agreed in his heart that such a capable soldier should be used in a position suitable for him.
He was even looking forward to this action in his heart.
"The plan needs to be perfected. We can't make fun of the lives of the soldiers." Commander Fan said, and Feng Yuxiang and Sun Xiangcheng immediately became happy. This meant that the commander agreed to this operation.
"Please rest assured, head of the regiment, we will improve this plan and provide all the help to the Third Company!" Feng Yuxiang stood at attention and said.
After the leader of the regiment spoke up, the confidence of the two people increased greatly. On the way back, Feng Yuxiang said: "This matter is no small matter. It can only succeed and cannot fail. If you, the third company, have any needs, just ask them and I will try my best to satisfy you."
"There are no requirements. This guy didn't even mention it to me. I guess he is sure about this matter."
The two walked to the battalion headquarters, and Company Commander Sun said: "Batalion Commander, I will go back and prepare first."
"Okay, if you have any difficulties, just tell me."
"yes!"
After Captain Sun returned, he immediately told everyone the good news. He turned to Xia Yuan and asked, "When are you going to take action?"
"The sooner the better!" Xia Yuan has never liked to chatter. He has already clearly investigated the enemy's location. All he needs to do next is to take people there. After a pause, he said: "Tonight.
Get started!"
"Aren't you in a hurry tonight?" Instructor Hu asked.
"No, I have prepared all kinds of things. I just need to take action at the right time." There is no doubt about Xia Yuan's personal ability, but in everyone's eyes, it is still unbelievable. After all, a battle against the enemy is
The preparation period for station operations is very long.
When it comes to Xia Yuan, it seems to be ready in two or three days.
The next step is to discuss the battle plan. The battle plan is very simple. The first platoon leader, second platoon leader, and third platoon leader are responsible for harassing the enemy. They only need to harass the enemy on the periphery and cause trouble to the enemy.
"I only need one squad of troops, not too many. If there are too many, the target will be too big."
At the third company's temporary combat meeting, Xia Yuan glanced at everyone.
Captain Sun nodded slowly: "That's the truth. Entering the enemy's station faces the risk of being exposed at any time. The more people there are, the more counterproductive it will be. To simplify things, Xia Yuan, you can select soldiers from the entire company to prepare for this operation."
"I already have a candidate."
Xia Yuan nodded to show that he understood.
He planned to select from the sharp knife platoon. The soldiers in the sharp knife platoon were all capable warriors selected from a hundred.
Submachine gunner Liu Zhen, machine gunner Sun Hongyi, demolitionist Zhang Tao... These soldiers are all warriors who have been tempered by blood and war, and have strong combat capabilities and fighting styles. The night attack team composed of these warriors will have great combat effectiveness.
Very powerful.
At the meeting, Xia Yuan made a simple battle plan, and the battle time was set at one o'clock in the morning.
For this operation, Captain Sun specially found several watches from the battalion headquarters, and the three platoon leaders and Xia Yuan took them with them.
When the time is right, preparations for action begin.
At this moment, it was already dusk, and the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the main peak did not subside a little. Instead, as the sun set and dusk fell, the enemy attacked the main peak more and more crazily.
Only when the sun hung on the treetops on the mountain did the enemy's offensive slow down a bit.
When the sun sets behind the mountain, the sky in the distance is a fiery red, and only the rumbling sound of cannons is heard coming from the direction of the main peak formation.
The soldiers held their guns, and Captain Sun took out all the last ammunition stored in the company and distributed them to the soldiers. Everyone had almost replenished their supplies and waited quietly for the night to fall.
Where the sun sets, the fiery red sky gradually dims, the sound of artillery in the direction of the main peak also disappears, and the locust-like enemies fade away like a tide, leaving only the devastated earth and a world filled with gunpowder smoke.
It was still early, so Company Commander Sun not only took out the only ammunition in the company, he also took out the last half a box of cans, and asked Xiao Heping and others to go to the back mountain where there was snow and cook a pot of salty paste.
The preparation of salty paste is simple, and they had previously seized some flour from the US military, mixed it with water and cans, and a pot of salty paste was ready.
The soldiers ate salty glutinous rice to satisfy their hungry stomachs, and then gathered in each row.
Since Xia Yuan has already selected the soldiers for action, they are now gathered at the forward position.
Submachine gunner Liu Zhen stared at the mountains and fields: "Xia Yuan, when will we start taking action?"
Xia Yuan glanced at everyone.
At this moment, everyone looked nervous and excited.
They had long seen Xia Yuan's powerful combat capabilities, and there was no one who was dissatisfied with him. For this operation, all the soldiers in the company were very excited, especially when Xia Yuan selected people, everyone hoped to follow Xia Yuan in the operation.
After all, Xiao Heping, a previously unknown soldier in the cooking class, made great achievements following Xia Yuan and received awards from the division headquarters.
Everyone knows that following Xia Yuan will definitely lead to great achievements.
Therefore, after the soldiers were selected, they were all very happy and began to think that they must win credit for the country this time.
