Everyone is looking forward to it. Even if only one battalion of the 113th Division arrives at Sansuoli, even if it cannot completely stop the retreat of the US military, it will be a little hindrance to them and delay their retreat. This will be exciting news.
But so far, the 113th Division has remained silent.
At this moment.
The 335th Regiment did not receive any order to attack, but instead moved to Huaping Station, more than 100 kilometers away, to fight against the U.S. troops invading the Yalu River.
The Third Company also accompanied them and arrived at Huaping Station, and then they learned that their mission was still to lure the enemy deeper.
"The battle is not over yet, why was he transferred back again?" Gao Lin sat on the ground, feeling a little depressed.
"Don't ask so many whys, just obey the orders."
Xia Yuan wiped the barrel of his gun and stared at the mountains.
From the direction of Huaping Station, fierce fighting sounds were heard.
They were holding on to this hilltop, and they didn't know if any enemies were passing by.
These days, except for fighting in Tokugawa, he spent the rest of his time on the road. After all, he felt a little depressed.
This depression comes from not understanding the combat missions assigned by superiors.
More often than not, superiors convey tasks by specifying where a unit should go, advance, or retreat, without informing the combat units of their intention to do so.
For example, when they initially evacuated Feihu Mountain, their superiors only gave the 335th Regiment the task of retreating 30 kilometers, but did not tell them that this was to lure the enemy deeper and prepare for the second phase of the battle.
Another example is the 113th Division that penetrated the Third Institute. The task assigned to them by their superiors was to set off immediately and bypass the Third Institute. Even though the commander realized the importance of the geographical location of the Third Institute through the map, the superior still did not
Tell them the specific purpose.
Later, he also passed instructions to tell them Shiji's specific action plan.
This is to regard the entire battlefield as a running machine. Each unit is a small part. Where it should go and what role it should play are all in the commander's mind, but he never tells
force.
A soldier's duty is to obey orders.
"Platoon commander, the company commander wants you to come over." Zhao Xiaoyi ran over and called.
When everyone heard this, they stood up immediately and looked at Xia Yuan with burning eyes.
Zhao Songzhu took the lead and said: "Platoon leader, if there is a new task, we must let our third team go first."
"Hey, Lao Zhao, I'm not talking about you. The last time we captured prisoners, it was your third squad. Why is it still your third squad this time?" Zhou Wen was the first to be unhappy. Last time in a small village west of Tokugawa, he was beaten.
When we saw the enemy's skirmishers, it was because their third squad had gone up early and captured many prisoners.
They only made some money in the second and first classes.
This time, there is nothing you can do to let Class 3 go in first.
Xia Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, the tasks will come one by one. Besides, we have to see if it is a task."
Lian Zhi dug a simple trench on the reverse slope of Beishan, camouflaged with vegetation, and spread out a map on the ground.
Seeing Xia Yuan coming over, Captain Sun stood up and said with a smile: "How was your rest?"
"It's not bad, the pain all over my body is reduced a lot," Xia Yuan said.
From Tokugawa to Huaping Station, they marched in a hurry. After traveling for a day and a night, everyone was almost exhausted.
When we got here, we found that the mission was just to lure the enemy deeper. Moreover, this group of enemies seemed to have received orders from the rear and did not dare to advance toward the Yalu River. As a result, they are currently in a confrontation with them.
They don't know when the enemy will attack them.
Xia Yuan was restless, and when he had nothing to do, he would observe the US military in the distance.
However, they had just arrived here, and the bunker fortifications still needed to be excavated. He did not have much time to go down below to check on the enemy's situation.
When he felt sleepy, he gave him a pillow, and Company Commander Sun conveyed the combat mission to him: "Take people to conduct reconnaissance and check the enemy's defense situation."
Xia Yuan's heart moved and he nodded: "Promise to complete the task!"
Instructor Hu stopped him: "Don't act without permission."
Xia Yuandao: "Instructor, don't worry, I will go to investigate the enemy's situation."
The weapons and equipment of the third company are now sufficient, and there is nothing missing. During the attack on Tokugawa, their company's equipment was replenished. After the attack on Tokugawa, although a large amount of ammunition was consumed, the enemy of Tokugawa left a large amount.
The weapons and equipment of the Third Company were basically replaced with American weapons, and ammunition was also replenished.
It can be said that the army is strong and the horse is strong.
Xia Yuan didn't need to go to the enemy's base to get supplies.
Besides, the superiors might take action in the near future, but if he did this, he would only alert the enemy.
Sometimes, confrontation is also a kind of containment.
daytime.
US military planes roared overhead, and there was no stability for a moment.
At night, the enemy fell silent. Xia Yuan, Xiao Heping, Zhao Xiaoyi and Zhou Mao quietly left the position, got into the field, lay down on a patch of dead grass mixed with snow, and quietly looked at the American troops in the distance.
"The lives of these foreign devils are quite good. They have life and hot meals. They live a much better life than we do." Zhou Mao held on to the brim of his hat and squinted his eyes to try to see clearly.
There are shaking figures of enemy soldiers next to the beating bonfire.
Realizing where they were, there were even more sentry posts.
Surrounding the fire were temporary tents.
The Tokugawa enemies have been defeated, but there is no sign of collapse of this enemy. It can be seen that they still have great trust in their country.
They probably all want to end the Korean War.
"When the time comes, we have to beat them hard so as not to hurt them. They don't know how powerful we are." Xiao Heping clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth.
Just because of these enemies, so many good comrades in the company died like this.
There is no one who does not hate the American devils.
The reconnaissance of the enemy's situation went quite smoothly. There was about one battalion of US troops in front of them. It was obvious that this was the vanguard of the US military, and the main force was in the rear. It was estimated that there were one US army and one puppet army, with a strength of about several thousand.
People cannot directly observe how many troops there are and can only vaguely estimate them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The enemy situation is almost felt, and the stars in the sky are no longer visible.
It was estimated that in the latter half of the night, the four of them quietly went back.
Xia Yuan arrived at the company headquarters and reported the detected situation to the company commander.
The team of several thousand people was a mixture of US troops and puppet troops. Captain Sun said: "The combat effectiveness of this mixed army is not that high. Relax and see if this enemy group will attack tomorrow."
After a pause, he asked again: "How is the excavation of the four rows of trenches and reverse slope bunkers going?"
"Everything has been arranged. It will not be a problem to withstand the bombardment of the American devils." Xia Yuan worked hard in this regard. Many times, most of the casualties of the troops came from the enemy's bombardment, followed by those who died in the fighting process.
If the casualties caused by shelling can be reduced, the impact on subsequent operations will be considerable, and the position can be held for a longer period of time.
"Well, pay more attention in this area. When you lead a company in the future, your experience in this area will also be used."
Captain Sun taught by words and deeds, and passed on his experience in leading a company to Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan made a lot of contributions in the Korean battlefield, and even attracted the attention of his superiors. The battalion commander said that his superiors had already drafted a commendation order, but they had to wait until the second battle was over.
With these military achievements, Xia Yuan can go further in the future.
Back in the platoon, the soldiers were sleeping in the trenches. The cold wind was howling and the chill was bursting. Fortunately, the fireplace invented by Xia Yuan earlier dissipated the cold in the bomb shelter. The rising smoke entered the hole where the smoke dispersed, and soon
It disperses quickly and cleanly.
He inspected along the trenches, filled some firewood for the soldiers, then got into Xiao Heping's bomb shelter and squeezed in with him.
Each class has arranged for replacement sentries. Gao Lin, Zhou Wen, and Zhao Songzhu have done a very good job in this regard, and Xia Yuan does not need to worry about it.
"Platoon commander, are you back?"
Xiao Heping had just fallen asleep when they came over from the enemy's station. They had gone through a rapid march before and were really sleepy.
He yawned, his eyes were covered with scarlet bloodshot eyes, and the whites of his eyes were red.
Xia Yuan made a silent gesture, indicating that he should go to bed quickly.
Maybe there will be a fierce battle waiting for them tomorrow.
Sure enough, just after dawn, a sharp roar came from the sky.
Everyone was resting when they were awakened by the deafening roar and hid in the bomb shelters. The soil above their heads kept falling down. Some soldiers were directly hit by enemy shells in the bomb shelters, causing the entire bomb shelters to collapse.
Fortunately, the bomb shelter was dug thick enough and he was not completely buried, otherwise it would have become a grave pit.
When the bombardment ended, the wind blew the smoke from the position, and Zhao Xiaoyi's empty voice floated: "The enemy is coming!"
Everyone got out of the bomb shelter, lifted their hats and patted the soil. Through the drifting smoke, they could see enemies like locusts swarming toward the position.
"Grandma, I can't even attack such a small number of enemies. Platoon leader, I will lead my men to fight back and make sure we beat them down." Zhao Songzhu, the third squad leader, volunteered.
"Don't worry, there aren't many enemies coming, I'm going to eat them all."
Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly and he immediately began to make arrangements for the battle.
He arranged the first and second squads on the left and right sides of the position, and directly moved the third squad to the reverse slope, leaving the position in the middle where they were originally stationed empty.
Following the smoke, the enemy stepped onto their position and found that there was no enemy figure in the trenches.
"Quick, quick, quick! Follow up!"
The attack went quite smoothly, and the squad leader in charge of supervising the battle motioned for the people behind to follow.
This enemy force consisted of about one company, including the supervising team. After entering the position, they quickly got into the trenches, took out their engineering shovels, and began to expand the bunker fortifications.
Only Xia Yuan would dare to think of using a platoon to capture a company.
He arranged combat tasks for the first and second squads. They were responsible for containment, and the third squad was responsible for the feint attack. The real main force was himself.
A company of enemies is really not enough. His combat ability far exceeds that of any other soldier. It is more than enough to deal with a company of enemies.
Bang, there was a gunshot, and the squad leader supervising the battle fell to the ground.
The unexpected gunfire also caused the soldiers of the Li Puppet Army to fall to the ground. They stared at the surroundings through the smoke-filled battlefield, and the crackling gunfire soon rang out.
When the first and second squads were restraining the enemy, they sent two combat teams to run behind the enemy and block the enemy's retreat.
Xia Yuan led Xiao Heping through the curved traffic trench and threw grenades behind the bunker. As the smoke filled the air, the enemy's firepower was suppressed. He led the two people to rush out quickly and successfully entered one end of the trench. Here you can clearly see the lying
Li Puppet Army on the ground.
The third squadron on the front was responsible for containment and attracted the enemy's firepower.
"Grenade!"
The two men carried a large number of grenades on their bodies, specifically to provide supplies for Xia Yuan.
He held ten grenades, turned on his eagle eye, scanned the position, and remembered the enemy's position in his mind. He held the grenade tightly, biting the tab with his teeth, loosened it and threw it away, and the grenade flew away.
The sky above the position was filled with smoke, and the enemy did not notice the direction in which the grenade was thrown. Moreover, Xia Yuan threw the grenade high enough and far enough, and the grenade exploded above the enemy's head.
A makeshift machine gun fire point went silent for an instant.
This was far from enough for a platoon of soldiers to annihilate a company of Li Puppet Army. Xia Yuan signaled the two of them to be alert, and he began to kill.
Deadly grenades were thrown out of his hands one after another. The thrown grenades formed a minefield and shrouded the sky above the enemy's heads. The smoke that had originally faded a little began to rise again under the bombardment of these grenades.
The enemy screamed repeatedly after being bombed. They could no longer withstand the pressure and began to hide in the trenches.
But this deadly grenade, as if it had eyes, landed accurately on the enemy's head, and the shattered shrapnel could cover a distance of three to four meters.
These grenades are made domestically and do not have the concept of offense and defense.
The US military's grenades are divided into offensive and defensive types.
The lethality of offensive grenades is average. After all, they are used for offense, covering soldiers charging towards enemy positions. Most of the damage radius is within ten meters, or even shorter.
Defensive grenades are just the opposite. They are used to cover the retreat of soldiers. The killing radius can reach 20 to 30 meters, which requires the shooter to have a bunker.
This is also very reasonable, otherwise, during the attack process, there will be soldiers everywhere, and a defensive grenade thrown out can even kill or injure one's own people.
Hand grenades don't have that much of a concept. Throwing them has lethality, and the rising smoke can also form a cover that blocks the enemy's sight.
The function is quite good.
When the enemy's resistance was weak, Zhao Xiaoyi blew the offensive whistle. The soldiers of the three squads jumped out of the bunker. The three-by-three battle formation spread out, making tactical leaps and crawling forward under alternate cover. Each soldier had a strong individual ability.
Soldier ability, and three warriors forming a combat team can easily withstand a row of enemy attacks.
Even a company.
At this moment, it is to show the power of the three-by-three battle formation.
Xia Yuan is responsible for providing fire suppression, and each combat team has the ability to provide fire support and fire cover.
On the contrary, the enemy's resistance was weak and chaotic. Some hid, some shot and retreated, and some had already begun to retreat.
Since Xia Yuan wanted to eat this group of enemies, he would not let them retreat and lead Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao out of their hiding position.
