Li Wenzhong thought for a moment and exclaimed, "Dig Xinli! I remember very clearly that during the final decisive battle in Tosinli, they fought with us desperately, and the two sides fought from morning to evening, with rivers of blood and corpses all over the field, until we finally took the initiative to withdraw from the battle, and they did not withdraw their troops until we finally withdrew from the battle. Yizhang, now that I fully understand your tactical deployment, it seems that our toughest battle has just begun. ”

"Yes, Commander Li, this is what I repeatedly emphasized yesterday, we have no air supremacy, this is a fatal wound, the US army has no artillery for the time being, but they still have bombers, as long as the sky is bright, they will bomb Seed Mountain unscrupulously, you look at the floating soil that has been blown up under our feet, it is more than a foot deep, and it has been blown up like this in just two days. In addition, Angel's 25th Regiment was just hurt by us, and he was not afraid of us, today's battle is very critical, I will go to the 102 heights to supervise the battle, you will go to the 103 heights to supervise the battle, and the Han political commissar will sit at the command post, what do you think? ”

"Yizhang, this arrangement is very good, I'm just worried that your body can't bear it, you have barely rested in the past few days, this is only the third day, at least ten days to last, you can't be tired, you are the Dinghai God Needle of our Seed Mountain!"

Liu Yizhang smiled innocently, he knew that Li Wenzhong really cared about his body, he patted his chest, and said casually, "Head Li, I am from a Lian family, and it will be no problem to stay up for another three days and three nights, let's go, let's go separately." ”

When Liu Yizhang came to the 102 heights, the soldiers were having breakfast, they saw Liu Yizhang, quickly put down their rice bowls, and shouted one after another.

Wang Dadi, the commander of the second battalion, hurriedly ran to Liu Yizhang and said nervously, "Commander Liu, when the soldiers saw that the people in the first battalion called you third brother, they asked me, can they also call you third brother, I agreed on my own initiative, you won't be angry, right?" ”

Liu Yizhang looked at Wang Dadi, who was slightly nervous, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, turned to the soldiers of the second battalion and said loudly, "Brothers of the second battalion, you are all my close comrades-in-arms of Liu Yizhang, and you are also my good brothers, of course there is no problem in calling me the third brother, in the war-torn Seed Mountain, it is my honor for Liu Yizhang to be able to advance and retreat with my brothers in life and death, but many of you are older than me, and I am suspected of taking advantage." ”

When the soldiers heard Liu Yizhang's words, they all laughed easily, "Commander Liu, no matter how young you are, we are willing to call you third brother, because you do care and love us like a brother." ”

Liu Yizhang smiled again and said, "The third brother is just a code name, just like you call me Commander Liu, but I understand everyone's feelings very well, you really regard me as your relative, then I also tell the brothers, I may not remember the name of each of you, but I will always remember your appearance, remember your trusting eyes, just now everyone witnessed the artillery brothers firing at the enemy, I just want to tell the Yankees, thinking of the seed mountain and wilderness, we have to ask if the guns in our hands are agreed, brothers." Do you have the confidence to hold the Seed Mountain? ”

"The Liu family army will win!" "The Liu family army will win!" "The Liu family army will win!" The fighters raised their arms and shouted.

"Okay, everyone hurry up and have breakfast, and get ready for a new battle!"

As soon as the words fell, the bombers of the US imperialists flew in rows, and Li Qiwei listened to Angel's report, and the Chinese army attacked Xuefengli last night and blew up the artillery battalion of the 25th Regiment The dust from the bomb blew up in the wind over Muluyuan......

Wu Xiangsen hurriedly called the Seed Mountain command post, the phone was no longer available, the communication facilities of the Seed Mountain had been blown up, and the contact with the military headquarters had been lost, and the scouts sent by Wang Shiguang came back to report that the Seed Mountain was surrounded by more than 5,000 people of the 25th Regiment of the US Army, and more than 20 bombers bombed in turn, and the casualties of the 535th Regiment could not be investigated, Wu Xiangsen looked at the Seed Mountain with a serious expression, he knew that the Seed Mountain was now a purgatory on earth!

Liu Yizhang and Liu Yan hid in the tunnel of the 102nd Height, the smell of smoke and fire made the soldiers cough incessantly, and the bombs fell into the trenches from time to time, and the stones and shrapnel that were blown up slammed against the wooden planks that blocked the entrance of the tunnel, and the bombing lasted for more than an hour, and then the US troops launched an attack on Taneseed Mountain from three directions, southeast, west, and west, and at the same time, and the infantry of a company of the US army slowly approached the 102 Heights with their charging guns and using the crater as cover.

Liu Yizhang said calmly to Wang Dadi, "Battalion Commander Wang, you command boldly, and I will concentrate on observing the enemy's offensive line and tactical arrangements. ”

Wang Dadi said to the soldiers, "Everyone should pay attention to saving bullets, and fight when the enemy is close to the trenches!" ”

200 meters, 100 meters, 60 meters...... Liu Yizhang watched the enemy getting closer and closer, Wang Dadi was really calm, and when the enemy was less than twenty meters away from the trench, Wang Dadi shouted, "Fight!" Hit me hard! "The fighters quickly revealed their upper bodies from the trenches, machine guns, rifles, grenades...... All kinds of weapons fired at the enemy at the same time, Liu Xingzhang and Liu Huizhang also participated in the battle, the second battalion was condescending, and the fight was vigorous, the American army finally approached the trench, and was immediately dizzy, and the dense firepower pressed them so that they couldn't raise their heads at all, but they still stubbornly fought back, and the follow-up soldiers of the American army also continued to follow up as a company, the first wave of fighting lasted for more than 20 minutes, and then the second group of American troops rushed up again, taking over the first batch of American troops to continue to attack the 102 heights, The first American troops withdrew from the battle with the wounded, and the fighting continued repeatedly for more than three hours before it ended.

"Report to Commander Liu, a total of ten companies of the U.S. Army participated in the attack on the 102 heights in rotation, and sixty-two people were killed, and our second battalion always participated in the battle with one company, and five people were killed!" After Wang Dadi cleaned up the battlefield, he ran over to report the battle situation to Liu Yizhang, Liu Yizhang said happily, "Battalion Commander Wang, you command the battle very calmly, and the soldiers are also very tenacious, how many times are you going to fight in the afternoon?" ”

"Report to Commander Liu, the second company will participate in the battle in the afternoon, the first company will rest, and the third company will be responsible for carrying ammunition."

"Battalion Commander Wang, what do you think of the battle just now?"

"Report to Commander Liu, I found that Liu Xingzhang and Liu Huizhang are the most capable of fighting, and they killed thirteen Yankees."

Liu Xingzhang and Liu Huizhang looked at Liu Yizhang proudly, thinking that it was still Camp Commander Wang who could speak.

Liu Yizhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Battalion Commander Wang, I'm not asking you to praise who can fight the most, I mean what do you think is the difference between this battle and the battles you commanded in the past?" ”

Wang Dadi scratched his head, "Commander Liu, the difference is that our casualties are obviously less, and the others are gone." ”

At this moment, Shi Mingliang hurriedly ran over and whispered in Liu Yizhang's ear, "Commander Liu, go back to the command post quickly, something big happened, Commissar Han died heroically." Liu Yizhang was taken aback and hurriedly jumped out of the trench and ran up the mountain.

Liu Yizhang ran to the top of the mountain, the scene in front of him shocked him deeply, the top of the seed mountain was really razed to the ground, the original protruding mountain was blown up, the floating soil on the mountain was more than one meter deep, the two dark forts were all blown up, Han Zhaobin political commissar was lying on a stretcher, covered with a sheet, Liu Yizhang wanted to open the sheet to take a look at the wound, but was stopped by Li Wenzhong, "Commander Liu, you better don't look at it, it's too miserable, Han political commissar's head was blown up, I am responsible for this matter, I knew that the French blew up these two dark forts when they were evacuating." , I asked the fighters to simply repair it and continue to use it, at that time I only considered that its space was relatively large, but I didn't expect it to be bombed like this under the repeated bombing of enemy aircraft! ”

Liu Yizhang patted Li Wenzhong on the shoulder, turned around and instructed Liu Yan, "Hurry up and take someone to repair the telephone line and restore contact with the military department." ”

Liu Yan organized the communications troops to quickly repair the line, and as soon as the line was connected, the phone rang, and Li Wenzhong said, "Commander Liu, it must be a call from the military department, or you should answer it, a total of 103 enemy people were killed on the 101st and 103rd heights, and our army was killed in nine people, and two people were attrition in non-combat." ”

"Apart from Commissar Han, who else was killed?"

Shi Mingliang replied, "Correspondent Li Yunfei was also at the command post at the time, I followed your arrangement last night and went to the 101 Heights early in the morning, otherwise I would be as glorious as Commissar Han." ”

Liu Yizhang picked up the phone, and it was Wang Shiguang, the chief of staff, who called.

"Chief of Staff Wang, I'm Liu Yizhang, what instructions do you have?"

"Yizhang, the U.S. imperialists have carried out an unprecedented bombardment of Seed Mountain, and the heads of the military department are very worried about you, what are the casualties of the troops?"

"Chief of Staff Wang, because our army built a very strong tunnel in the early stage, the bombing of enemy planes did not cause major casualties, but our army's command post may have been captured by the enemy's reconnaissance plane, so the enemy carried out targeted bombing of the command post this time, causing the command post to be blown up, and the political commissar Han Zhaobin and the correspondent Li Yunfei, who were on duty, were unfortunately killed!"

"Yizhang, what about the battle casualties in that kind of Zishan Heights?"

"Fourteen of our troops were killed, one hundred and sixty-five of the American troops were killed, and the wounded were not counted."

"Yizhang, such a disparity in the proportion of casualties is the lowest in all the battles since my 77th Army entered the DPRK, and you have created another miracle!"

"Chief of Staff Wang, this is just a battle statistic, with great accidentality, and the reference value is not great. I have carefully observed today's battle, and once the US military loses the strong support of its tanks, its combat effectiveness will drop sharply, and casualties will naturally increase; I judge that the US military will soon coordinate the participation of new tanks in the attack on Tanegasi, and we now have no good weapons to deal with the tanks except for anti-tank grenades, so we can only rely on explosives packs and blasting canisters to blow them up, and the casualties will inevitably increase. The 25th Regiment of the US Army has been severely attacked by our troops one after another, and it is bound to strengthen its defense against our troops, so the next battle will become more and more difficult to fight, and the only thing to do is that the high-altitude bombardment of Seed Mountain by the US imperialists has come to an end, and at most it will be a symbolic bombing in the future, and it may even be impossible to bomb at all, and the bombs they dropped on the heights of our Seed Mountain today are more than 100 times higher than usual, but they have not met their expectations, and they have hardly caused any lethality to us, but have enhanced our army's confidence in defense. It can be seen that it is very worthwhile for our army to invest a lot of material and manpower in fortifications before the war. Every night in the future, I will arrange for the martial arts special team to harass the US military station non-stop, the other three battalions are dedicated to fighting a good blocking battle, and they will not leave their positions easily, I am most worried about ammunition, our tunnel space is limited, and the stored ammunition will eventually run out, the US army has seized this point, implemented the encirclement and blockade of Seed Mountain, cut off the material support of the outside world to us, tactically the same as us, everyone is fighting a war of attrition, the US army is very cunning in this attack, they did not press on a large scale, Instead, take the company as a unit to rotate the attack, if they attack in a big way, it will be beneficial to us, the seed mountain is steep, the mountains are uneven, the mountains are dense, we rely on the trenches can not only improve the lethality, but also save a lot of ammunition, from this point of view, the tactical literacy of the US military is still very high, Angel is after all Li Qiwei's proud protégé, and staff officer Dawn, although very young but also resourceful, the US army chose to fight a war of attrition with us in the seed mountain, the purpose is to consume our ammunition, and then swarm up, Taking the seed mountain in one fell swoop, this is the wishful thinking of the US military! ”

"Yizhang, I completely agree with the tactics you used and the analysis of the tactics of the US army, except for the highland of Seed Mountain, the other heights in the Mulu original defense area are all subject to wheel warfare, that is to say, a regiment will withdraw to the second-line position for two or three days to rest, and then replace it with another regiment to the front line to continue to block, so that there is no shortage of ammunition, but Seed Mountain is different, it is completely located south of the 38th parallel, the only one bordering the northern slope of our army, and it is precisely a cliff, and there is a big river below, and the other three sides are controlled by the US army, It was very difficult for the military headquarters to provide effective support to you, so we could only fight alone, relying on your outstanding command ability and the bloody struggle of the vast number of officers and men, and held out until 4 May. Yizhang, as long as you hold the heights of Seed Mountain, the Muluyuan Resistance Battle will be able to achieve the final victory. Judging from the battle situation reported by more than a dozen other highlands in Muluyuan, most of the casualties are one to two, and the battle is extremely fierce, many highlands often change hands repeatedly, and the seed mountain is not counted except for the more than 500 American troops you killed with extraordinary means, and the ratio of casualties is one to ten from today's battle alone, this is a miracle, of course, as you said, this is just a battle, with great accidentality, but there is no doubt that your tactics are very reasonable, and the companies are very resolute in the implementation of your tactics, so continue to fight, Not only is victory in sight, but it will also greatly damage the self-confidence of the US military and gain a psychological advantage for our future armistice talks. ”

"Chief of Staff Wang, this is exactly what I have been thinking about, I have always thought that I used extraordinary means to kill hundreds of enemies and blow up a large number of heavy weapons of the US army, but I just taught them a hard lesson and beat them up, but I was not afraid of them, that is to say, the enemy could not beat me, but I was not convinced, and I changed my way to continue to fight with me. I believe that the commander behind the scenes of the 25th Regiment of the US imperialists is now remorseful, and if he dumps these thousands of bombs on other high grounds, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I have decided to let the soldiers build the bombed bunker and continue to serve as a command post. I dare to conclude that the commanders of the US imperialism would never again launch such a stupid bombardment of Seed Mountain. ”

"Yizhang, Commander Wu and other leaders of the military department have always placed high hopes on you, so they entrust you with the burden of Seed Mountain, which is related to the future and fate of the entire 77th Army, once the Seed Mountain position is lost, the consequences will be catastrophic, the Mulu Yuan front will be cut off by the enemy, and the Mulu Yuan blocking battle will also fall short, right' Shiji's defense in depth on the Eastern Front will bring great passivity, but it only took you three days to prove to us that the decision of the military department is completely correct, and Commander Wu has made a desperate bet and chose you to defend Seed Mountain, and this gamble is a sure win! In order not to distract you, and especially to beware of the intelligence agencies of the US imperialism eavesdropping on Taneyama's communications, the military department decided to cut off all communication with Taneyama. In fact, before the start of the Seed Mountain Blockade Battle, the military department had already communicated with Li Wenzhong, and during the Seed Mountain Blockade Battle, you were fully responsible for all the affairs of the Seed Mountain, and now I officially authorize you on behalf of the military department to make a decision during the Seed Mountain Blockade Battle, and all actions can be arbitrary, and there is no need to ask the military department and a meeting to discuss! ”

"Thank you for the trust of the military department in me, please ask Chief of Staff Wang to tell the chiefs, the military department has handed over the heavy burden of guarding the seed mountain to the 535th regiment, Liu Yizhang and all the soldiers of the seed mountain are proud, this is the high trust of the party and the people in my town guarding the seed mountain, we will never live up to this trust and trust, we will definitely fulfill our duties, the three armed forces will work hard, overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, do our best to fight the seed mountain resistance battle, and resolutely complete the tasks entrusted to us by the party and the people! I also firmly believe that the 77th Army is an iron army that has been tempered by thousands of tempers, and there are tens of millions of heroic sons and daughters who have fought bloodily, and the Muluyuan Resistance Battle will surely achieve the ultimate great victory! ”

Liu Yizhang's sonorous and powerful statement, resolute and resolute eyes infected everyone around him, especially Li Wenzhong, he was even more in awe of Liu Yizhang, because of his own mistakes directly caused the sacrifice of Han Political Commissar, there was a suspicion of dereliction of duty, Liu Yizhang not only used the enemy's reconnaissance plane to cover for himself, but also made it clear that he would continue to use the dark fort as a command post, this is a great trust in himself, the soldier dies for his confidant, you Liu Yizhang is so righteous to me Li Wenzhong, I will follow life and death, you vote for me to peach, I will repay Qiong Yao!
