At night, the Seventh Company completed its repairs. The soldiers dug a smokeless stove and made a hearty hodgepodge meal using canned beef, canned vegetables, fried noodles, and potatoes. This was the best meal the soldiers had ever had since entering the DPRK.
The meal was also the most nutritious meal, which helped the soldiers get rid of their fatigue. Then everyone boiled some hot water and wiped the dust on their faces with hot towels. They did not dare to wash their faces and feet with hot water for fear of finishing washing.
Then the next day it became swollen and I couldn't walk.
The soldiers gathered together, ate steaming meals, drank steaming tea, and slept comfortably. Taking advantage of the moonlight, Wu Qianli called the Seventh Company to assemble, organize their weapons and equipment, and lined up.
They set off without taking a roll call. All the wounded have been moved to the rear to recuperate, but they will continue to fight.
With the end of the battle in Xingxing-ri, the 7th interleaved company began to follow the large army southward. After walking for a while, they could encounter their own troops. Most of them were companies that had evacuated from Yudam-ri, and there were also troops coming from Yudam-ri.
.
On the 29th, the order of the Ninth Corps was to concentrate its forces and give priority to destroying the U.S. troops in Xingxing-ri, then Liudam-ri, and finally Hagaryu-ri. However, on December 1st, the U.S. troops in Liutan-ri were
They began to retreat in the direction of Hagaryu-ri. The order from the headquarters was issued on December 1, and the troops in the direction of Xingxing-ri rushed to support the troops in the direction of Liutan-ri and Hagaryu-ri.
The target of the Seventh Company was Xiajieyuli. If we detoured from the mountain, it would take at least two or three days, and we would not have enough time.
Orders are above all else, and fighter opportunities cannot be missed.
At twelve o'clock, the team of the seventh interleaved company faced the wind and snow and disappeared into the vast darkness.
It was more than 30 degrees below zero. Even though he was wearing thick cotton clothes, he could still feel the cold outside. The snow on the ground was as thick as his calves. The soldiers walking at the front had no idea whether there was any place to step on where they landed.
The soldiers followed the team one step at a time. The team was very quiet and no one spoke.
Xia Yuan was followed by Wu Wanli and Lei Gong, and in front was Yu Congrong and Pinghe. Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng were walking in front of the team. The snow was very thick, which slowed down the team. The thirsty warrior reached out and grabbed the snow on the ground and drank it.
Rise.
They have left Xinxingli and are heading to Xiajieyuli.
Three nights later.
After climbing over a mountain, a whistle came from the scouts in front. Not long after walking forward, after climbing over a small hill, they met the brother troops. A very long team, and the military uniforms on their bodies had turned gray.
The clothes of many soldiers were torn apart, exposing the charred cotton. The soldiers in the team looked very tired. It was obvious that they had just fought not long ago and started to attack again.
Panting, Pinghe stepped forward and shouted: "Brother, which army are you from? Where do you come from?"
A man on the opposite side stopped, panted slightly, and replied: "Liutanli, 20th Army, where are you?"
Yu Congrong said: "The first attacking group, the seventh intervening company."
The man added: "We're almost at the airport. There's heavy firepower set up three kilometers outside their airport. Be careful."
Wu Qianli and others nodded at the man in front of them, and Mei Sheng said, "You should also be careful."
"good!"
The man smiled, nodded, turned around and followed the troops towards Xiajieyuli.
Looking back, Mei Sheng said: "It seems that we came around from the west side. We probably went the wrong way."
Being able to encounter the 20th Army only means that they appeared on the left side of Xiajieyuli.
Wu Qianli breathed in the air-conditioner and said: "It's too dark, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Even with a map, it's difficult for us to go right. But the way forward is Xiajieyuli, which is the same direction as ours. It's easy to walk from here."
no problem."
"Five thousand miles!"
Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng were discussing whether to go to the airport when a strong voice came from a distance. Xia Yuan looked in the direction from which the voice came. There were military trucks parked not far away, with heavy artillery behind them.
, a man with rough skin was sitting in the car, looking at them.
Yu Congrong was particularly surprised: "Artillery Camp! You are finally here!"
Yu Congrong and Ping He ran up with a smile, looking left and right. The soldiers in the car obviously knew Ping He and the others. They sat in the car and pulled Ping He:
"Come on, Pinghe, sit here. Why do I see you here? Aren't you playing in a new place?"
Pinghe sat in the car and said with a smile: "We have finished fighting Xinxingli, let's go and fight Jieyuli."
Yu Congrong ran to a few cars, looked left and right, but couldn't see the rough man talking, so he could only shout: "Captain Yang, I miss you so much!"
After saying that, he turned around and saw Battalion Commander Yang sitting in the car with a cigarette in his mouth. He was surprised and said: "Hey, you are here!"
Battalion Commander Yang, who was sitting in the car, threw the cigarette case over, "Damn it, do you miss me?"
Yu Congrong had a smile on his dark face. Wu Qianli walked over and stepped on the steps to get on the bus. Battalion Commander Yang gave him a hand and pulled Wu Qianli up. Wu Qianli was not polite and stretched out his hand.
Battalion Commander Yang took the cigarette out of his mouth and put it in his own mouth, "Here we come!"
Battalion Commander Yang hummed, "The 1st Marine Division with the special code is going to escape, and the headquarters ordered us to travel day and night."
Wu Qianli smoked a cigarette and asked again: "Are there enough cannonballs?"
Battalion Commander Yang grinned: "Americans are so generous. They can get as many as they want. They can make them with all their strength, hahahaha."
It seems that a lot of American artillery shells were captured.
Lei Gong came over smoking a dry cigarette and cheerfully introduced to Xia Yuan and Wu Wanli: "This is the commander of the artillery camp, Lao Yang. Just call him Camp Commander Yang."
Battalion Commander Yang looked at Xia Yuan and Wu Wanli beside Lei Gong, grinned and said, "Old Lei, here are two new recruits."
Wu Qianli scolded Battalion Commander Yang and pointed at Xia Yuan: "Are you sure this is a new recruit? Lao Yang, don't make mistakes. This is the second great hero of our company. When the war is over, you just wait.
Let the whole army commend you."
Battalion Commander Yang stared at Xia Yuan, then turned to look at Wu Qianli, "What's your name?"
Wu Qianli said: "Xia Yuan, have you seen the division-wide award given some time ago?"
Battalion Commander Yang shook his head: "I didn't look!"
Wu Qianli glared: "Get lost!"
Battalion Commander Yang grinned and turned to look at Xia Yuan: "How can you not look at this? You don't know that our division's first full-division commendation was awarded some time ago. The soldiers in our artillery battalion screamed when they saw it, and they wished they could carry it.
Go to the battlefield with your gun to fight the American devils, and come back with a commendation from the entire division."
He said to Lei Gong: "Old Lei can do it. He brought out a great hero like Wu Qianli, and he will bring out a second great hero soon. From now on, I might as well follow you and be a hero for once."
Lei Gong smoked a dry cigarette and looked at him steadily: "I won't accept it!"
Yang Yingchang's mouth was twisted: "Hey!"
What else did he want to say, but another command came from the distance: "Gather the artillery camp! Get ready to go!"
"gather!"
Xia Yuan looked at the artillery camp, looked at the sky, and couldn't help but say one more thing: "The American devils are trying to escape, and planes are flying around in the sky every day. If you drive on the road, you will be discovered by them a lot. If you are discovered,
They will definitely bomb you."
Wu Qianli was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Camp Commander Yang.
Battalion Commander Yang said with a smile: "If he dares to come, we will knock them down!"
Xia Yuan stopped talking too much. Too much talk will lead to mistakes.
Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng knew what Xia Yuan said, and this boy got it right several times along the way, which was enough to see how young Xia Yuan looked.
Mei Sheng stepped forward and said, "This cannot be done carelessly. Along the way, we were almost bombed by US military planes several times, thanks to Xia Yuan!"
Now that he thought about it, he still felt lingering fear. There were so many supplies on the train, and if they were bombed by planes, the consequences would be disastrous. When they were crossing the dry river bed, they didn't take it to heart at first, thinking that they would just speed up and pass. However, as they did
When the decision was made, a US military plane came over. If it hadn't been for Xia Yuan, it is estimated that when the US military plane flew over, their entire company would have been exposed on the river bed.
Wu Qianli looked at so many cars and said, "You should be more careful when marching. The US military's artillery shells don't have eyes."
Battalion Commander Yang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will be more careful on the way and keep the team spread out."
Wu Qianli patted Camp Commander Yang on the shoulder and returned the cigarette in his mouth to him: "Old Yang, pay attention to safety."
Battalion Commander Yang grinned: "Get out of here!"
Watching Battalion Commander Yang's artillery battalion leave, Wu Qianli finished his cigarette, threw it on the snow, turned around and shouted: "Assemble the Seventh Company! Let's go!"
Since the direction of the Seventh Company is to pass through Hajieyuli and cross over to Shuimen Bridge, the route is temporarily the same as that of the artillery camp. The artillery camp trucks are dragging cannons behind them. They cannot walk on mountain roads.
Being able to take a relatively wide road, the Seventh Company followed the artillery battalion for a while. In the early morning, the two teams separated.
The artillery battalion continued to advance along the main road in the direction of Xiajieyuli, while the Seventh Company moved through the mountainous areas toward Xiajieyuli.
However, the two teams were not far apart. Xia Yuan, who was walking in the thick snow in the team, noticed the roar of US military aircraft from the sky through his keen hearing. Xia Yuan immediately shouted: "US military aircraft!! Hurry up!"
Hidden!! US military planes!!”
The soldiers of the Seventh Company were all heading into the wind and snow with their heads raised. They were obviously stunned when they heard Xia Yuan's voice. They listened carefully and did not hear the sound of the plane in the sky. However, after the twenty-seventh battle, Lei Gong stood beside Xia Yuan.
Far away, he had seen this kid's terrifying hearing with his own eyes. He first kicked the soldier in the artillery platoon next to him, and then cursed at the top of his lungs:
"You are so stupid! You didn't hear the plane coming! Find cover quickly!!"
After being scolded by Lei Gong, the soldiers of the Seventh Company quickly looked for cover.
Just two or three seconds after Lei Gong's words were spoken, the roar of US military aircraft came from the clearer sky in the distance. It was very small, like the buzzing of mosquitoes.
The expressions of the soldiers of the seventh company changed drastically and their movements became faster.
Soon, three formations of US military aircraft, four in each formation, appeared in the distant sky.
Wu Qianli's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately shouted: "Enemy plane! Disperse! Disperse!"
"Each platoon takes a squad as a unit and finds a bunker for itself! Disperse! Disperse!"
Fortunately, thanks to Xia Yuan's reminder and Lei Gong's urging, the soldiers of the Seventh Company basically dispersed. The US military planes moved from far away to near, and the roar became louder and louder, echoing in the valley.
Above the sky.
"I found a small local unit on the way, ten kilometers away from the designated target. Apply for an attack order! over!"
"Save ammunition and use machine guns along the way!"
"Roger (received)!"
"Squadron, prepare for regular strafing! Execute the mission!"
The aircraft formation began to dive, and the roar of the fighter planes echoed in the valley, like a huge stone, making everyone breathless. Xia Yuan faced the dive of the US aircraft formation and hid behind the bunker, with the reflection of the US military in his brown pupils.
In the shadow of the plane, he could even see the pilot of the US military plane.
They're going to shoot!
There was only one voice in Xia Yuan's mind. He grabbed the big eight pills, stared up at the plane in the sky, and fired eight shots at the US aircraft. The bullets all hit the fuselage of the US aircraft. One of the shots even
It penetrated the cover and startled the pilot of the plane.
"Oh! shit!! He almost hit me! fuck! fuck!"
The machine guns of the US military aircraft sprayed out chains of red fire, leaving a long crater in the snow, exposing the frozen hard soil. The bullets of the aircraft's machine guns shot on the dry and hard ground, even the hard ground was
It penetrated, leaving huge craters, which were connected together like a black chain.
The strafing by U.S. military planes continued. Wu Wanli was pinned down by Lei Gong on a reverse slope and said: "When you see a U.S. military aircraft, remember to hide on the reverse slope, toward the direction of the plane. We hide behind the reverse slope. The U.S. military planes
It will be difficult to shoot at us, remember?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Wanli held the gun and nodded seriously.
The U.S. military plane only fired one round of fire, not even bombing, and then raised its fuselage and flew in the direction of the artillery camp.
Xia Yuan stood up and looked at the US military plane with a gun in his hand, his eyes cold.
We haven't defeated them yet, but sooner or later we will defeat them!
"Count the wounded where they are!"
"It's okay to have three shifts in a row!"
"Class 5 is fine!"
"Second platoon and first class are fine!"
"..."
The soldiers looked at the plane flying away, still feeling frightened.
Wu Qianli composed himself, turned to look at the soldiers, and then looked at the sky.
"Company commander, their direction is the direction of the artillery battalion."
Xia Yuan stared at the direction of the plane and shouted.
Wu Qianli blew the Osprey whistle, and the sound of the whistle echoed throughout the surroundings along with the sound of the engines of the US military aircraft. He shouted: "The enemy plane is heading towards the artillery camp, support the artillery camp immediately!"
In the direction of the artillery camp, after separated from the Seventh Company, Battalion Commander Yang ordered the troops to spread out and not follow so closely. At the same time, he directed the soldiers in the artillery camp to march separately and not to follow each other.
He looked up at the sky, still thinking that it was unlikely that the US military plane would come back.
However, the next second, the roar of US military aircraft engines came from the sky. In the distant sky, more than ten US military aircrafts could be clearly seen lined up in a "human" shape, thinking about their direction.
The soldier sitting on the roof of the car was the first to notice it. He immediately slapped the car door, "Battalion Commander!! US military plane! US military plane!"
Camp Chief Yang was shocked. He quickly stuck his head out of the car door and looked toward the rear. His pupils shrank: "Disperse and hide! Disperse and hide!"
"Disperse and conceal! Protect the equipment on the vehicle!"
"Make way for cars! Make way for cars!"
Fortunately, there was a reminder from the Seventh Company earlier. The artillery battalion's ranks were stretched loosely. The distance between cannons was tens of meters away. The ranks were also stretched, and there was a large distance between people.
After the command messenger shouted, the soldiers of the artillery battalion quickly dispersed to both sides, looking for bunkers.
At the same time, the car accelerated forward to avoid the bombing of US artillery shells.
Artillery shells dropped by U.S. military aircraft were heard in the sky, accompanied by the sharp whistling of the artillery shells as they fell. Immediately after the ground began to take position, the earth exploded by the artillery shells flew up several feet high. In just a few seconds, the U.S. military aircraft
Dozens of bombs were dropped, directly blocking the path forward of the artillery camp and all surrounding areas.
Artillery shells continued to fall, and the whole world seemed to be in the end of the world. The sharp and piercing roar in the sky was accompanied by the roar of the plane, and at the same time, there was the loud noise of the explosion of the artillery shells, and the sound of the soil rolling up. The soldiers were organized in an orderly and rapid manner.
Find cover to hide.
There were bombardments of artillery shells everywhere. The blood of the artillery battalion soldiers dyed the ground red and soaked the soil. Two or three cannons were destroyed. The truck was hit by the artillery shells, which ignited the artillery shells on the vehicle. They exploded instantly and left traces on the ground.
The empty frame of a car killed several soldiers.
The bombing lasted only one minute. Because the artillery battalion was too loose, it was a long time ahead of the planned bombing. The bombing plan formulated by the US military aircraft was to hit several volunteer targets, and each target had fixed bombs.
After the bombs were dropped at the artillery camp, they headed to another target.
The US military plane flew away, leaving behind craters on the ground and overturned cars.
Battalion Commander Yang stood on the car and shouted: "How many guns are left?"
"There are three heavy guns left in the camp! Six mortars!"
Battalion Commander Yang stood in the car and cursed: "These American devils I'm going to kill don't even care about their own guns. They just captured ten guns and only three are left for me!"
The seventh interleaving company appeared on the hilltop. Wu Qianli saw that the artillery camp after the bombing was almost destroyed, and immediately ran down the mountain with the team: "Rescue the wounded! Rescue the wounded first!"
Arriving next to Battalion Commander Yang and looking at the angry Battalion Commander, Wu Qianli took a breath and asked, "Old Yang, are you okay?"
"fine."
Battalion Commander Yang sat in the car with a distressed look on his face, and cursed: "I haven't warmed up the cannons that Mother Gangte snatched, but Grandma Te's heavy cannons only blew up three of them."
Wu Qianli exhaled: "It's good that everyone is fine. At least there is a fire left. If we hadn't warned you, these cannons of yours would have been destroyed. Besides, every cannon from your artillery camp was snatched, three of them.
We have enough heavy artillery, and our artillery platoon only has a few mortars left."
Wu Qianli took out a pistol from his body and handed it to Battalion Commander Yang: "Try to grab it again."
Mei Sheng had one eye wrapped with a bandage, holding a gun and shouting: "He's from the Seventh Company!"
"have!"
"Go grab the cannon for the artillery battalion!"
"yes!"
The messenger could be heard shouting from a distance: "Continue three miles south and capture the US artillery position!"
Xia Yuan's eyes were firm, he quickly checked the weapons and ammunition on his body, and followed the team to the south.
Battalion Commander Yang’s shout came from behind: “Are our artillery battalions really so damn good that they’re being raised by the Seventh Company?”
The artillery battalion soldiers responded loudly: "No!"
"Leave one squad of soldiers to pull the cannon, and the rest will grab the cannon with me!"
