Chapter 142: The End
On the afternoon of the 28th, our army took advantage of the victory to pursue and recapture all the heights in the L-Mountain Theater.
In the evening, the main peak of the L Mountain position.
The warriors, who had already achieved total victory, finally had time to cope with their hunger after clearing the battlefield, and two or three warriors sat around the mouth of the cave, eating compressed biscuits and assorted canned food from the cooking squad.
In the face of this victory, they were both excited and saddened, because the corpses of their comrades lay not far away.
Ten minutes later, the fighters finished their dinner.
Su Luo saw that everyone had finished eating, and ate two bites of canned food at random, so he walked into the trench and said to everyone: "After a while, confirm the identity of your comrades-in-arms, find a safe place to bury them temporarily, be sure to mark and confirm the burial location, they are our comrades-in-arms, the martyrs of our army, and we will be reburied after the war, and not a single body can be lost." ”
"Yes!" All the warriors echoed in silence, and some of them were silently red-eyed.
"If the clothes are complete, you can confirm your identity through the information behind the red collar badge, and if you are not wearing clothes, everyone will confirm your face one by one." Su Luo continued to explain.
Before the war, all soldiers who participated in the war had their names, blood types, unit codes, places of origin and home addresses written on the back of their red collar badges.
After saying this, he discussed with the leaders of the other three battalions, "Let the reconnaissance squad continue to be vigilant, don't let your guard down, the enemy will definitely not give up so easily." ”
"Yes, we will be ready to deal with their counterattack." The 11th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment responded to the Tsuneyama.
The two battalion commanders of the 12th Regiment also nodded their heads with heavy expressions.
Su Luo's gaze looked at the position halfway up the mountain, and then said: "I have received an order, I will return to the Songling position with the 1st battalion in a while, and the main peak will be handed over to you." ”
"Okay, don't worry, we're here." Everyone should do it.
Afterwards, Chang Shan glanced at the terrain of the war zone, and couldn't help but care: "You should also be careful, now that the enemy army has withdrawn, if they want to counterattack again, they must choose Songling." ”
"Well, I understand." Su Luo nodded.
He has always been a person who does not like sensationalism, and after a few simple handovers, he rushed back to the Pine Ridge Heights with a battalion of soldiers to defend it.
The next day, the L Mountain theater was calm, the enemy did not move, but our soldiers did not dare to relax and remained on high alert.
In the early morning of the 30th, just as they were resting, there was a sudden burst of artillery fire, which immediately woke up all the fighters.
Su Luo and Song Da hurriedly came out to check the situation and found that the artillery fire came from the east side of Mount L.
"What's the situation?" Song Da looked at it with a puzzled expression.
Su Luo's eyes moved slightly, thinking of the topographic map of Mount Zhe that he had seen at the command post before, and he knew it in his heart.
"It's the Mountain, our army is attacking the Mountain." He spoke lightly, but his voice was firm.
Song Da was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, "We didn't receive any news?" ”
"Did we get any news before the bombardment?" Su Luo asked rhetorically.
He understands the absolute secrecy of the military region, and now that various countries are attaching more and more importance to the development of intelligence organs and secret services, it is easy for information to leak out if they are not careful.
"That's not right." Song Da was suddenly surprised, "Then how do you know?" ”
Su Luo suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but laugh: "It just so happened that when I went to the command post, I saw the topographic map of the Zheshan Theater. ”
"Only then can the border be truly peaceful." Song Da stood beside him, his eyes looking at the firelight to the east.
In the evening, they received a notice from the military region that after a day of hard work by the soldiers of the 3rd Army, Zheshan had also been recaptured.
The Y army was very angry because of the successive defeats, and in the entire border theater, only the position of Hedong Mountain, which was across the river from the L Mountain, was still in the hands of the Y army, so they took their anger out on the people nearby, and the people were forced to move and have no fixed place to live.
Our soldiers were furious when they heard the news, but they could not act rashly without an order from their superiors.
Finally, in mid-May, the Xicheng Military Region issued an operational order, asking the 1st Battalion of the 12th Regiment to capture Hedong Mountain, and the artillery regiment supported it with artillery fire, and soon captured more than 10 heights near Hedong Mountain.
At this point, the range of the two mountains was recovered, and our army began to move to the defensive stage.
However, the Y army has always been unwilling to lose, and has been looking for opportunities to counterattack, but has been repelled by our army several times, and the tug-of-war between the two sides is still continuing.
On July 12, the Y Army suddenly reinforced the strength of 6 regiments and launched the largest counterattack on the L-Mountain Theater, among which the Songling Heights held by Su Luo was the high ground where the enemy's main fire was attacked.
At one o'clock in the morning of the 12th, the Y Army began to attack the Songling position, and the strength of the 4 regiments was the beginning to launch a fierce attack on the Songling position, and the commander of the 11th regiment, Li Regiment, learned the news and immediately asked the 2nd Battalion to go down to support Suluo, and at the same time, our artillery regiment also began to fire assistance.
The battle lasted until 12 o'clock at noon, when the enemy sent two more regiments, a total of six regiments, rushed to the position in batches, and our artillery regiment ran out of ammunition and could not be supported by fire in a short time, so it could only rely on the infantry soldiers of the 11th regiment to defend desperately, and suffered heavy casualties.
"Hold on!" Su Luo hid in the trenches, shouting at the soldiers while dodging enemy fire.
Once this place is lost, the entire L-Mountain theater will be opened a gap by the enemy.
Tsuneyama of the 2nd Battalion also shouted: "The enemy wants to take this position, unless we are all killed!" ”
The soldiers also understood the importance of the Songling position, and after listening to the words of the two responsible persons, everyone was shocked, resisted tenaciously, and swore to defend this position to the death.
The fighters held out for more than an hour, and the shells of our army finally arrived, and the rear artillery regiment immediately concentrated all its firepower on the enemy troops in front of the Songling position, and began a fierce artillery bombardment, and the Songling position was immediately in a sea of fire.
"Rush!" Su Luo roared, and the man jumped out of the trench.
The soldiers also got up and rushed out, facing the smoke of gunpowder, everyone held submachine guns and shot wildly at the enemy troops who rushed up, and the enemy soldiers fell one by one.
By 1:30 p.m., the battle was finally over.
In the Battle of Songling, both the enemy and us suffered heavy casualties, more than 1,000 people in the 11th Regiment of our army, and more than 600 casualties, while the casualties of the Y Army were even more tragic, and there were more than 3,000 corpses lying on the Songling Heights.
Corpses covered the hills, and blood stained the forests again.
After this battle, the Y army stopped, and did not launch a counterattack for several days.
In light of the actual situation, the General Headquarters of the Central Military Commission of our army has made defensive arrangements for rotational battles in major military regions in a timely manner.
The first to take over the defense of the L-Shan Theater was the Nancheng Military Region.
Beginning on July 15, the 2nd Army successively withdrew to its original camps.
Because of the heroic battle of the 11st Regiment of the 11st Division in the Battle of Songling, it was their regiment that was the first to be replaced.
Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood and wanted to comfort them, Commander Zhao of the 12th Regiment casually smiled with Commander Li: "This time, your regiment has made great contributions, and last night, the military region called and said that the headquarters of the Central Military Commission wanted to record military merits for your entire regiment. ”
When Su Luo heard this, he was indifferent, and Chang Shan was also silent.
Commander Li understood his subordinates, and then looked at the injured soldiers, and couldn't help but feel heartache: "I know that we have suffered heavy casualties this time, but in the end, Songling has been defended, and you have defended the land, and it has been hard." ”
Su Luo suppressed his emotions and said hoarsely: "It's good that the border can be peaceful and the people's lives can be stable." ”
The two regiment commanders were shocked, they all looked at him, and they couldn't speak for a long time, just nodded vigorously with red eyes.
