The battle in Xinxingli was over. On the battlefield, Pinghe was sitting on the scorched earth holding his gun, still rubbing his bullet casings. Lei Gong and Wu Wanli were picking up the American artillery. The two of them were like scavenging. Lei Gong suddenly looked at each other.
Liang shouted to Wu Wanli: "Wanli, Wanli, come here, come here."
Wu Wanli looked left and right, "What kind of cannon is this? It's so small."
Lei Gong said cheerfully: "The mortar has a small caliber, but it is easy to carry. Even if we capture the cannon, we can't take it away. This small cannon is just suitable. I will teach you how to dismantle it."
"Why."
Wu Wanli put his gun behind his back and stopped shouting about going into battle to kill the enemy.
Yu Congrong carried seven or eight guns on his back and rummaged through the corpses of the American soldiers. He turned around and saw Xia Yuan bending over and tying the clothes of the American soldiers with a rope. Looking next to him, good guy, just
There were six bundles of military coats and seven or eight bundles of cotton clothes.
He walked over and said hurriedly: "What clothes do you want, and a gun!"
Xia Yuan tilted his head, glanced at him, his eyes lingered on the gun behind him, and shook his head, "One gun is enough, but the cotton clothes are the most precious. Go and help me take them off, both good and bad, just tie them up like this.
Let the regiment headquarters take these cotton clothes away later."
Yu Congrong stared with eyes as big as cow bells.
Xia Yuan straightened up and took a breath, and said: "Someone will pick up the gun, so why not get cotton clothes? If they die, they will contribute to us. Many soldiers are still wearing single clothes. If they beat us, it is good if we don't whip the corpses."
Now, take off your clothes quickly."
Yu Congrong put down the gun on his back, grabbed a corpse of an American soldier, and quickly took off their military coats. His eyes lingered on their inner clothes: "What is this? It feels so hard?"
Xia Yuan glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Bulletproof vest."
"What is this? A body armor? Can it really prevent bullets?"
Yu Congrong's eyes widened again, and he touched it again and again with some admiration.
"He wouldn't be lying on the ground if he was really bulletproof."
Xia Yuan took off the clothes of the American soldiers, along with their shoes and socks. He turned away in disgust, hugged them in his coat, took some food from their bodies, and handed it to Yu Congrong: "Try it, it's good stuff.
.”
Yu Congrong took it: "Is it chewing gum?"
Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment: "You want to eat chewing gum?"
Yu Congrong put the food into his pocket and nodded: "No, that stuff is delicious and chewy. You can keep it in your mouth and chew it. You can spit it out and put it in your mouth for a while and you can still chew it. Last time you
After sharing it, many soldiers like to eat that stuff."
Xia Yuan thought for a while and put down the clothes in his hands: "I'll go look for it. Ask the soldiers to take off more clothes and put on what should be changed. It's such a cold day, don't freeze."
Yu Congrong glared at him, "You boy, you are the platoon leader and I am the platoon leader?"
Xia Yuan's dark skin showed big white teeth, and he smiled and said: "You are you."
After saying that, he turned around with his gun on his back and went to find chewing gum for the soldiers.
Yu Congrong looked at Xia Yuan's back, tied up the clothes in his hands, and found Wu Qianli.
Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng were counting the casualties of the Seventh Company. Both of them had sad faces. During the battle in Xingxingli, the Seventh Company suffered very heavy casualties.
Yu Congrong sat down next to Wu Qianli, distributed the food that Xia Yuan had just handed to him to Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng, and said to Wu Qianli: "Company commander and deputy platoon leader died. I was wondering whether I should let Xia Yuan
Be the deputy platoon leader."
Wu Qianli put down the booklet in his hand, turned to look at Yu Congrong, and said in a deep voice: "The instructor just mentioned it to me, but I didn't expect you to mention it to me too. Many comrades died in this battle. Three deputy squad leaders died, and the squad leader died.
Two were sacrificed, the deputy platoon leader sacrificed two, and the platoon leader sacrificed one. My idea with the instructor was to let Xia Yuan be the platoon leader of the second platoon."
When Yu Congrong heard this, he nodded and said: "That's okay. Everyone has seen Xia Yuan's combat ability in the past few days. It is absolutely no problem to be the platoon leader. I will call for people to gather."
Wu Qianli quickly pulled Yu Congrong, "Why panic? The battle has just ended. Let the soldiers rest and collect supplies. The US military has a lot of good things."
Yu Congrong smiled naively and nodded: "Hey!"
Mei Sheng looked at Yu Congrong's back: "Yu Congrong is happier than when he was the platoon leader."
Wu Qianli narrowed his eyes and said: "This kid is very thoughtful. But having said that, Xia Yuan has been very brave in these battles. He blew up the US armored vehicles and the firepower was clean and neat, reducing the casualties of a large number of soldiers. Instructor, you put it down
The story of this boy will be recorded and will be submitted to the division headquarters together with the heroic deeds of some soldiers from the Seventh Company."
Mei Sheng nodded: "Don't worry, I have recorded everything."
"Ha! Good stuff!"
Xia Yuan rummaged through the corpses of the American soldiers and stuffed all the delicious food into his pockets. He also didn't let go of the cigarettes. Many soldiers in the company were old smokers and loved to smoke, so he brought them with him to smoke.
After almost cleaning up, I found a ruined wall, sat down on it, took out food to fill my stomach, and my heart sank into the system.
"The battle in Xinxingli is over. It stands to reason that the mission has been completed, right?"
There was no movement in the system. In fact, as early as the 27th, after killing McClain and seizing the military flag, Xia Yuan thought that the mission was completed and he could return. However, in fact, there was no movement in the system. He opened the system again this time and carefully examined it.
system tasks.
[Mission: Complete the Battle of Changjin Lake/Shuimen Bridge!]
"Watergate Bridge!?"
Xia Yuan's eyes darkened, and he thought carefully about the Battle of Shuimen Bridge. The Battle of Shuimen Bridge was also one of the battles of Changjin Lake. After the US troops in Liutanli and the US troops in Hajieyuli merged, the US troops began to evacuate to Gutuli.
, and before the evacuation, the U.S. Air Force airdropped 327.7 tons of supplies to the U.S. military in Xiajieyuli and transported more than 4,500 wounded people.
According to the strength of the U.S. Air Force, it was completely possible to airlift the 1st U.S. Marine Division away, but they did not do so. This involves a problem that has been difficult to solve since ancient times, that is, the problem of who stays to break up the aftermath.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Later, when the 1st Marine Division retreated from Xiajieyuli, they used artillery fire to blockade the high ground between Gutuli and Xiajieyuli.
Before leaving, shoot out all the shells that cannot be taken away.
Sumun Bridge, a bridge built over the hydropower station between Gutu-ri and Jinheung-ri, is the only way for the US Army's 1st Marine Division to retreat. As long as the bridge is blown up, the US military's retreat route can be blocked.
The volunteers at the bridge may have never imagined that their opponent, the US military, had something they had never seen in their lives.
After the U.S. military bridge was blown up for the third time, the volunteer soldiers who were responsible for the siege of Gutuli saw an unforgettable scene. Eight C-119 transport aircraft each dropped an M2 steel bridge weighing 1.1 tons. This happened in 1950.
During the Battle of Changjin Lake, the U.S. military built a steel bridge on the Water Gate Bridge. At this time, the volunteer soldiers no longer had the ability to bomb the Water Gate Bridge and could only watch the U.S. troops pass by the Water Gate Bridge.
Xia Yuan ate and fell into deep thought. The Watergate Bridge was blown up three times and was repaired by the US military. How could he rewrite history? He fell into deep thought and racked his brains to think, but found that there was nothing he could do to rewrite the history that had already happened.
.
Is it necessary to bomb the Watergate Bridge four times? Obviously it is impossible. The US military airdropped the M2 steel bridge directly into the ancient soil. When the US military arrived at the bombed Watergate Bridge, it directly erected the steel bridge and the US military retreated smoothly.
.
There were blocking troops on the road, but they all failed. During the retreat, the US military used aircraft and artillery from time to time to clear the way.
According to what he understood, when the US military retreated, the artillery was divided into two groups. One group advanced, and the second group covered the bombing from behind. When one group arrived at the designated position, one group took over from the second group, and the second group moved forward. Two artillery groups
The groups alternately covered the retreat of the 1st U.S. Marine Division and kept firing artillery shells at the high ground on both sides of the road. This was also accompanied by U.S. Air Force bombing and machine gun fire.
All the blocking troops were unable to complete the blocking of the enemy, because the blocking troops were mostly a company and at least a squad, and there were almost no blocking units above the battalion level.
After the 1st Marine Division successfully evacuated Shuimen Bridge, the 58th Division and the 60th Division of the 20th Army hit all combatable soldiers, a total of more than 100 people. Under the leadership of the Chief of Staff of the 60th Division, they continued the pursuit.
Various events that happened on the Watergate Bridge kept flashing through my mind, not including the two ice sculpture companies that happened on the high ground north of the Watergate Bridge and on the 1081 highland.
The Battle of Changjin Lake was really tragic.
Xia Yuan thought carefully and couldn't find a way to stop the First Marine Division. The Volunteer Army had backward equipment and poor logistics supplies, and relied on two legs to pursue pursuits. The First Marine Division was a complete mechanized force and had aircraft and artillery.
Covering the retreat, even if he stood in God's vision and came from the future, he would not be able to win this war with his own strength.
"Who is Captain Wu Qianli!"
At this time, he heard a sound coming from the ruins in the distance. Xia Yuan raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a soldier carrying a document quickly crossing the ruins.
He quickly stood up from the ruins, walked over quickly with a gun in hand, and saw Wu Qianli standing up from a distance and shouting: "I am Wu Qianli!"
"The division is calling! Here are the documents!"
The communications trooper quickly came to Wu Qianli. After saluting, he handed Wu Qianli the documents he was carrying. After Wu Qianli saluted, he watched the communications trooper leave and then sat next to Mei Sheng. "There is a call from the division headquarters. What kind of urgent task is it?"
Mei Sheng said: "Open it and take a look."
Wu Qianli opened the file, glanced at it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and handed the file to Mei Sheng.
After Mei Sheng read it, he murmured: "Xiajieyuli..."
"Give us half a day to rest and go back to Xiajieyu." Wu Qianli took a bite of his food, stood up, glanced at the soldiers of the Seventh Company who were already approaching, and shouted: "Assemble the Seventh Company!"
The team was quickly assembled. The 7th Company, which originally numbered more than 100 people, only had 80 or 90 people left. The firepower platoon lost several combat members, and other squads and platoons suffered losses to varying degrees. Since the assembled team was in accordance with the
There are one class after another, so there are only one or two bandaged soldiers in each class in the team.
Wu Qianli looked at the blackened faces of the soldiers, silenced his demands, and said: "Pack up your equipment, replenish ammunition, and get ready to go!"
"yes!"
The echoes of the soldiers were loud. After they dispersed, the soldiers went to replenish ammunition on the spot. The battle in Xinxingli wiped out a regiment-level combat team of the US military and seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition. Basically, the soldiers of the seventh company were replaced by US troops.
The weapons and equipment of the US military are highly accurate and are much better than the IWC weapons they have.
Mei Sheng found Wu Qianli and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me about Xia Yuan just now?"
Wu Qianli said: "Let's wait until we find an opportunity on the way. Let the soldiers slow down for a while."
Mei Sheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "You are right."
Wu Qianli turned around and asked, "How are your eyes?"
Mei Sheng rubbed his eyes and said, "It's okay, I'm being smoked. Hurry up and pack your equipment. Watergate Bridge... I guess there will still be a fierce battle."
Wu Qianli said thoughtfully: "The battle in Xinxingli has just ended, and we are about to rush to Xiajieyuli."
Mei Sheng said with a smile: "Okay, you are also an old company commander. Soldiers will stop you, and water will cover you. We have won such difficult battles in Xingxingli. No matter how difficult the next battle is, we can still win."
He added: "Pack your things."
Wu Qianli turned around and said, "Bring more food."
Mei Sheng nodded: "I understand."
The gathering just now sounded the alarm for Xia Yuan, and he increasingly felt that it was imminent to rush to Shuimen Bridge.
"As the sky gets darker, the fighting in various parts of Changjin Lake becomes more intense. Shuimen Bridge has also become an important passage on the US military's retreat route, and has also become a battleground between the volunteers and the US military."
Xia Yuan carried the gun on his back and packed up the bullets. The eight bullets formed a whole, filling all the places on his body that could be filled with bullets. When he arrived at Shuimen Bridge, it was probably going to be another fierce battle.
The U.S. military is not stupid. It naturally knows the importance of the Watergate Bridge and will send heavy troops to guard the Watergate Bridge. However, in fact, the first bombing of the bridge was extremely easy. The volunteers easily touched the bottom of the bridge and successfully completed the first bombing of the bridge.
, the second time the bridge was blown up, the US military's defense was relatively tight. After a fierce battle, the volunteers successfully blew up the bridge. The third time the bridge was blown up was even more difficult. The US military deployed a large number of tanks and artillery on the high ground on one side of the Watergate Bridge.
A large number of searchlights and warning posts were placed on the bridge for nighttime warning.
Until the third bombing of the bridge was completed, everyone thought that the U.S. military could no longer repair the bridge, but they never thought that the U.S. military would directly transport a steel bridge by air.
The 7th Interleaving Company didn't stay in Xingxingli for long. It quickly packed up its equipment and set off in the direction of Xiajieyuli. At the same time, the mission of the Ninth Corps was also assigned, and the combat troops in Xinxingli quickly headed to Xiajieyuli.
, Liudam-ri, reinforcements to block the attack.
Xia Yuan checked the equipment, raised his head and heard Wu Qianli shouting: "Yu Congrong!"
Yu Congrong raised his head and ran over and asked, "What's up, company commander?"
Wu Qianli turned around and said: "Our company's correspondent has died, and not many can use the radio. You can hold the radio first."
"Yes." Yu Congrong carried the radio on his back and asked again: "Company commander, are we going to Xiajieyuli? I heard that there is an airport for the US military there. Blow up the airport of these foreign devils and see how they escape."
Wu Qianli said: "The U.S. military is retreating now. We must seize the time to pursue it. It is getting dark. Tell the soldiers to rest, make a fire to cook, and set off after four hours of rest!"
"yes!"
Yu Congrong saluted and went back to deliver the news with the radio on his back.
