At such a critical moment, a certain main division, which is the core of the attack on the Western Front of the Volunteer Army, broke through the encirclement and interception of the Wharton armored group, the forward unit of the US army, under the cover of heavy firepower and an armored unit, and successfully withdrew to the vicinity of Tieyuan.

Seeing this situation, the head of the Zhi Division personally made a decision, and while giving priority to replenishing a certain main division with the recruits and equipment that had just arrived in China, he ordered the division to build fortifications in the Tieyuan area, and at all costs could not let the US army take a step beyond Tieyuan.

After receiving the order, a certain main division began to build a position, and at this time, the forward troops of the D armored battle group, which intercepted the heavy fire company and an armored unit, crossed the Imjin River and appeared on the periphery of the Tieyuan defensive line.

This caused a certain main division, which was highly sensitive, to immediately raise its vigilance, and when it was ascertained that it was a heavy firepower company that broke through to the south bank of the Imjin River and was besieged by the US troops in front of it, the commander of a certain main division immediately made a decision and sent two regiments of troops to launch an attack from behind the D armored battle group.

In one fell swoop, he broke through the south bank of the Imjin River, rescued Lao Tang and Zhang Huangxin and others who were in a fierce battle, and annihilated most of the D armored battle group.

As soon as the heavy firepower company that returned north safely arrived in Tieyuan, it was once again assigned to the formation of a certain main division, and at the same time began to replenish personnel and equipment, and in just a few days, the heavy firepower company that had lost most of it was once again filled.

At this time, the heavy fire company was instructed to reach the company headquarters of the heavy fire company under the order to establish a blocking position at Zhongzi Mountain, 12 kilometers south of Tieyuan.

Although Lao Tang, who did not know much about the overall battle situation, complained somewhat about this blocking battle, when he learned of the critical situation of the main force of the Western Front Volunteer Army from the operational staff officer of a certain main division, he did not hesitate to throw his complaints out of the clouds, and immediately led the heavy firepower company that had not yet completed the reorganization of the fire line into Neutron Mountain.

But when he looked at the terrain in front of and behind Neutron Mountain, his eyebrows wrinkled deeply, and he couldn't deploy too many troops just because the central point of the Tieyuan defense line was really unable to deploy too many troops, and only one platoon could be placed at most on the commanding heights of 235.7.

The steep mountain roads around make it more difficult for the enemy to attack, but also make it extremely difficult for your own reinforcements, especially in the face of the powerful air-ground firepower of the American army, if you don't get the reinforcements of the 235.7 heights right, you will suffer heavy casualties.

However, if there are no reinforcements, with only one platoon of troops, no matter how strong the offensive is, it will not be able to withstand the joint strangulation of the US air and ground.

Of course, according to the operational policy of a certain main division, some key points on the hill can be abandoned on its own initiative when the situation is unfavorable and transferred to the next line of defense to continue fighting.

But the problem is that Zhongzi Mountain is located between No. 6 and No. 13 highways, and there is a railway crossing the diagonal side, and the three main roads are all strategic routes for the northbound 38th line.

Therefore, if Tie Yuan is regarded as a person, then the three main roads are the main arteries of this person, and the Neutron Mountain, located at the intersection of the main arteries, is the heart of this person.

That is to say, as long as the Neutron Mountain is held, it is equivalent to keeping the Tie Yuan, and if it is lost, the Tie Yuan will be difficult to protect, and because of this, the Neutron Mountain must be defended no matter what.

However, it is difficult to increase the number of troops, and the main position of Zhongzi Mountain, which cannot be deployed, is a Jedi, and if you want to defend it for three days in the face of the powerful firepower of the US army, it is simply as difficult as Shu Dao, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky.

So from the moment he received the order, Old Tang pondered the way to crack it.

At first, he wanted to use Zhang Huangxin's tank troops, with armor with excellent protection, to launch counterattacks against the attacking US troops from time to time, so as to reduce the defensive pressure on the main position.

But after taking Zhang Huangxin to look at the terrain around Neutron Mountain, Zhang Huangxin's head shook like a rattle, no way, the rugged mountains around Neutron Mountain are like countless iron chains, binding the hands and feet of the armored troops, coupled with the water network made up around the perimeter, it is simply a nightmare for the armored mechanized troops.

At that time, the armored units will not only be unable to exert their due combat effectiveness, but may also become a drag on the commanders and fighters of the main position.

Seeing that the previously invincible armored forces were helpless, Lao Tang almost didn't rush to the point of madness, and at this time, Bai Yi came to the Tieyuan front line under the pretext of investigating the capture of the wreckage of the No. 117 tank, and Old Tang had a feeling of looking forward to the savior, because he knew very well that this young man in his early twenties always had a way to solve the problem invisibly.

So before Bai Yi started to work, he took the initiative to come to the door and told Bai Yi about the situation encountered by the heavy firepower company, and sure enough, Bai Yi only groaned slightly, and then said: "I really don't have anything decent here, only six 150mm heavy guns from World War II, I don't know if you will dislike them too old?" ”

"Don't dislike, don't dislike!"

As soon as I heard that it was a German 150mm heavy gun, it would be good for Lao Tang not to supply the baby, where would there be any dislike, and he hurriedly responded excitedly: "Such a good thing, I can't ask for it, where will I dislike it?" ”

In this way, the two of them preliminarily finalized the initial intention of assigning six German-made 150mm howitzers to the heavy firepower company.

How can this make Don, who is under heavy defense pressure, not in a hurry?

If it were someone else, Lao Tang would not be like this, after all, the personnel and equipment transferred to the front line, Zhi Si and a certain main division have absolute dominance, but the six German-made SFH-18 150mm howitzers that Bai Yi promised are different.

They are essentially scrap steel imported from the Soviet Union, although they have been assembled and repaired by the Baiyun Factory, these six guns still have some minor problems, and their performance is not stable.

It was only in response to the central authorities' important instruction to learn from the war and to speed up the efficiency of the artillery firing line into an army, these six German-made artillery pieces were transported to the DPRK as teaching aids for the trainees, and became used by the new artillery recruits in the DPRK to operate their artillery.

Because of this, these six German-made guns are not subordinate to any front-line troops, but are under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department of the Volunteer Army, and the specific person in charge is none other than Bai Yi!

Therefore, Bai Yi has absolute dominance over these six German-made artillery, and giving him Lao Tang is naturally for the victory of the front line, and it should not be given to him, after all, the six German-made artillery guns are just teaching aids for artillery cadets, not to mention the overall performance, and the ammunition base is pitiful.

Lao Tang really has no choice, although Zhisi has strengthened an artillery regiment for a certain main division, but the dominance is in the division headquarters, he wants to support the procedures are too complicated, and he wants to have immediate fire support, only Bai Yi, a non-mainstream artilleryman, is possible, otherwise even if he kills Lao Tang, he doesn't want to use these old heavy artillery.

So in desperation, Old Tang could only plead with Bai Yi: "Count me not, don't withdraw those six heavy cannons!" ”

"For the sake of your good self-criticism, the six guns will be left to you, and when the time comes, they will build an artillery position on the anticline of Lenghuangshan, 16 kilometers north of Zhongzi Mountain......

"Wait, Lao Bai, I heard you right, it's 16 kilometers away from Neutron Mountain, so far, can you hit the American devils?" Without waiting for Bai Yi to finish speaking, Old Tang looked at Bai Yi suspiciously, his eyes full of surprise and inexplicable.
