Chapter 144: The Spirit of the Chinese Army (Part II)
"Force the enemy with a frontal force, order a force to be dispatched, carry concentrated anti-infantry mines, intersperse them in the enemy's rear, set them on the enemy's inevitable path, and when the offensive is launched, we must carry forward the fine traditions of our army's close combat and night combat, and introduce the US army into the preset battlefield of our army, so as to complete this annihilation mission......"
This is the combat order issued by the regimental headquarters to Lao Ge yesterday evening, and in the first battle last night, the independent reinforced regiment fully invested the strength of a reinforced battalion, and under the command of Luo Wenshan, the commander of the first battalion, began to launch an encirclement and annihilation battle against the "mad cow" company-level battle group of the 1st US Cavalry Division and its affiliated allied troops from around 16 o'clock yesterday.

The regiment and the battalion commander Luo Wenshan gave Lao Ge two tasks, one is to rush to build fortifications, and the second is to recuperate, and when the night falls, with a rapid offensive, force the US troops stationed there to retreat to the mine array arranged by our army, and then take advantage of the sudden detonation of many anti-infantry mines, together with the interception troops interspersed behind the enemy, to completely turn this "mad cow" into a dead cow!
After receiving the order, Lao Ge immediately organized his troops, braved a burst of artillery fire from the American army, quickly built a position, and then handed it over to the second company that rushed to the march, and then the first company retreated to repair, and at the same time the attack of the United Nations army also began, although the superiors only asked the second company to hold on for half an hour.
But in this short half an hour, the second company suffered heavy casualties, the overwhelming artillery fire and the constantly circling US fighters, like bloodthirsty beasts, devoured the volunteer soldiers on the position one by one, although the last second company completed the blocking task, but the entire company also collapsed nearly one-third!
Seeing this, Lao Ge knew that the battle that night must be bloody and tragic, but what Lao Ge never expected was that he was already mentally prepared, and after launching an attack on the US army at midnight, he found that his psychological preparation was far less cruel than the real battle situation.
The pouring of large-caliber heavy machine gun shells scattered in all directions, and the hail-like mortar shells fell into a large area, which hit so hard that the company had to reduce the pace of the attack, but it was the slowdown of the offensive rhythm this time that the company was almost buried on Highway 9, because the US troops took advantage of the gap when the attack of the company was slightly slow, and the first company was completely covered by the overwhelming shells and bombs......
"Little man Zhang, if you hadn't blown up the first machine-gun position and opened the way, maybe there would have been no victory in the back, so ...... This first glass of wine, I salute you! ”
Lao Ge looked at an earthy yellow military hat torn by shrapnel, and the young and naughty face of the little man continued to appear in his flashing eyes, and at the last moment, the heroic scene of dragging the seriously injured body with a broken leg and the enemy's machine gun position was wiped out, and finally closed his eyes and gently splashed the old white dry in the cup under the tattered military hat.
"And you, Wang Dazhuang, I always criticize you for not using your brains during training, and it's the same when you go to the battlefield, you hold those two American devils, just use a bayonet, and pull any grenade......"
In front of a military medal with only half of it left, Lao Ge poured the wine in the cup again, and his tone was as usual, as if Wang Dazhuang's naïve soldier was standing in front of him, smiling heartlessly at him......
In this way, every time Lao Ge walked in front of a relic, he poured a glass of wine and talked for a while, sometimes very gently, sometimes a little stern, sometimes laughing, and sometimes some trivial complaints.
If it is outside the camp tent, some people may think that Lao Ge is also as usual, talking and laughing with his soldiers, chatting and joking with those few close friends with similar interests.
However, only when you enter it, you will find that all this is just Lao Ge's own silent monologue, and his soldiers, his comrades-in-arms, are now only the simple relics on the white tablecloth, but these relics are living soldiers in Lao Ge's eyes......
"Brothers, we won, a full fifty-seven anti-infantry mines, the shocking effect of which even the American devils thought that there was an unfathomable artillery group behind us, so that even his reinforcements did not dare to take a step closer, and when the head of the Zhi Division knew about it, it was three words 'good'!
What the head of the Zhi Division said is right, you are all good, and the motherland behind you will be proud of you, even if it is decades later, hundreds of years later, after our children and grandchildren hear these deeds, they will also give you a thumbs up and praise you for your good example, today...... I'm a little long-winded, okay brothers, drink this glass of wine, and go all the way, and when the victory comes, my old brother will not get drunk with the big guy! ”
After that, Lao Ge tilted his neck and drank the wine in the cup, when the wine glass was put down, his bloodshot eyes were as sharp as last night, but the moment he turned around, two torrents burst out of his eyes, and tears fell like rain......
"Salute!"
When Lao Ge cried like a child and ran out of the tent, Qin Dongmin, the head of the Independent Reinforcement Regiment, and others lined up in the cold wind, all with tears in their eyes, and solemnly saluted the black tent.
The north wind is howling, the cold wind is raging, and the mourning music played on the ground is like a flat sound, telling the vivid deeds and lost lives, they, the young Chinese volunteer soldiers, with their sacrifice and blood, practiced the oath when they crossed the Yalu River: Resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the family and defend the country!
……
A few days later, the fierce collision between the Independent Reinforcement Regiment and the US troops in the area of Highway 9 in northern Korea was transmitted back to China in the form of a battle briefing.
In this battle, the 1st Battalion of the Independent Reinforced Regiment defeated and annihilated two South Korean infantry companies, an American company-level battle group, and a Turkish reinforced platoon with complex tactical movements, destroying a total of 269 enemies and capturing 107 prisoners.
Our army suffered 237 casualties, of which the company as the main attack suffered the heaviest casualties, and the entire formation was basically disabled, but the impact of this battle was very huge......
A similar detailed battle briefing, Bai Yi in Baiyun Factory also quickly got a copy, which was personally instructed by the head of the General Logistics Department to be forwarded to Bai Yi for reading, but after reading the briefing, Bai Yi was not as happy as others because of the victory on the front line, but his heart was as if he was blocked by something, and it was indescribable.
I had no choice but to take a deep breath of smoke, and then looked at the dark sky with the cold wind, and after a long time, I firmly said to Chen Yaoyang and others behind him: "Our air defense weapons can't be delayed any longer!" ”
