The counterattack of the Volunteer Army blinded Van Vliet, and the four-hour artillery preparation surprised Van Vliet, since the start of the war, the artillery preparation of the Volunteer Army did not exceed half an hour, but this time it was as long as four hours, in addition to the red red position of the first line, the second echelon was also hit hard, and now for Van Vliet said, the most important thing is to solidify the defense, and the Volunteer Army can no longer launch a larger-scale counterattack, if the Volunteer Army comes again to intersperse with roundabouts, I had to collapse again. In the past, the food and ammunition of the Volunteer Army could only last for a week, and after the Food and ammunition of the Volunteer Army were exhausted, it was enough to counterattack, but this four-hour artillery preparation made Van Vliet believe that at least at present, the Volunteer Army's food and ammunition reserves would never last more than a week, so Van Vliet asked the US Army and all units of the South Korean Army to hold on to the spot and wait for support!

Van Vliet's order quickly spread to the command of the various American troops, but it was quickly rewarded, the American troops on the right side of Shangganling said that their losses were not large, and they could launch an attack on the Volunteer Army to contain their possible counterattack, and Cowan on the left flank also reported that his strength was not damaged and he could launch an attack, these two feedbacks made Van Vliet understand that the Volunteer Army only concentrated the counterattack force on the main position of Shangganling, and the strength in other directions was still limited, if the left and right flanks launched a counterattack at the same time, It will definitely leave the Volunteer Army without time to attack. So Van Vliet ordered that in addition to the American troops in the direction of the main position continuing to wait for support, the American troops on the left and right flanks and the South Korean army launched an attack on the Volunteer Army! At the same time, Van Vliet launched his own killer air force to bomb the entire line of Shangganling to contain a possible attack by the volunteers.

In order to be able to take position No. 6 in one go, Commander Cowen concentrated two infantry regiments and a South Korean division, plus two artillery regiments and a tank squadron, and launched an attack on position No. 6. The 93rd Regiment of the Volunteer Army in the No. 6 position, that is, the famous Huangyadong Battle Hero Regiment, only put one battalion of troops on the No. 6 position at this time, because the commander of the 93rd Regiment believed that the firepower of the US army was very strong, and the number of troops could only increase the hit rate of the enemy's artillery fire, so he planned to use the tactics of refueling battalion by battalion to consume the Americans' offensive capability. This time, however, the situation was different, because Division Commander Cowen, upon application, used a squadron of American bombers to tightly block the rear of Position 6 with heavy * and * heavy weapons.

"Boom!" An explosion sounded over position six, and the counterattack of the American troops began. This time it was the tank squadron of the US army that rushed to the front, this time the tank squadron of the US army changed its tactics, the tank was in the front, the infantry followed behind the tank and on both sides, and in the process of the tank advance, the artillery continued to cover the attack on position No. 6 to cover the tank charge with the most powerful firepower! Although the volunteers on the position organized demolitions to attack, the attack did not work because the American tanks and infantry coordinated well, so that a large number of American troops rushed to the position. The volunteers on the position and the American army started hand-to-hand combat, desperately resisting, but Cowan ordered the South Korean army to charge at this time, and there was only one battalion of volunteers on the position, facing several times the enemy army, suffering heavy casualties, and finally lost the No. 6 position, or only six people retreated from the position!

"Report, Position Six is lost!" The communications staff reported the news to the commander-in-chief, who was furious! "You tell the 93rd Regiment that I will give them an hour to recapture the position for me, otherwise, the sign of his heroic regiment will be handed back to me!" The commander-in-chief slapped the table and said angrily. "Yes! I'll let them know right away! "The communications staff officer and commander-in-chief got angry and immediately ran out.

"Second battalion commander, I'll give you an hour to take the position back for me! Our artillery will cooperate with you, if you can't get it back, you don't have to come back! "The commander of the 93rd Regiment is also going crazy at this time, he didn't expect to lose the No. 6 position at the beginning of the counterattack, if he really loses the brand of the Hero Regiment in his own hands, he will really die a pity!" Please rest assured, I will definitely recapture position No. 6! "The commander of the second battalion was ordered to go. Although the No. 6 position was captured by the US army, the Americans never expected the counterattack of the volunteers to come so quickly.

The commander of the second battalion who launched the counterattack also changed his attack tactics, first sending a company to attack the 61 heights next to the No. 6 position to attract the attention of the US army, and then concentrating the two main companies to seize the main position! At the beginning of the counterattack, the artillery of the Volunteer Army carried out an artillery bombardment of the No. 6 position for half an hour, and then the commander of the second battalion ordered the third company to launch an attack on the 61 Heights. The three companies attacked very fiercely, and the soldiers took the lead one by one, and a few charges down and forced to a place of 50 meters on the 61 Heights, which was less than 200 meters away from the 6th position, and if the 61 Heights were lost, then the 6th position was also a matter of time, so the attacks of the 3rd Company made the US troops all focus on the 61 Heights.

"Now, attack!" When the time came, the commander of the second battalion immediately ordered his two main companies to attack the No. 6 main position, and the artillery fire of the volunteers was immediately transferred to the No. 6 main position, and the volunteers of the two companies rushed to the No. 6 position with lightning speed, and the U.S. troops on the No. 6 position started hand-to-hand combat. In this way, only an hour after the American army occupied the No. 6 position, it was once again recaptured by the volunteers!

"It's all a bunch of pigs!" The well-cultivated division commander Cowen couldn't help but scold, "Tell those two regiment commanders that if they can't occupy position No. 6, they will be shot!" "Yes!" The chief of staff of Division Cowen conveyed the order to the commanders of two American regiments. At this time, the commander of the American army was also depressed, and before he had time to celebrate, the No. 6 position was lost again, and after receiving Cowen's order, the commanders of the two regiments once again gathered their forces and rushed up to the No. 6 position. However, this time the volunteer army that learned its lesson was not so easy to fight!

In order to prevent the repetition of the last lesson, the commander of the 93rd Regiment sent his own heavy force company, artillery company, and engineer company directly under the regiment to a distance of 200 meters behind the position to provide fire support for the front-line battle. However, the U.S. troops were annoyed and angry because of the gains and losses of the No. 6 position, and after receiving reinforcements, the commander of the U.S. Army's Cowen Division expanded the scope of his counterattack, and the entire area around the No. 6 position was included in the scope of the counterattack!

As the range of the Americans' counterattack increased, the commander of the 93rd Regiment had to divide his troops and expand the scope of his defense! The expansion of the scale of the battle made the strength of the 93rd Regiment a little insufficient, but the commander of the 93rd Regiment did not ask for help, because he felt that he had lost the No. 6 position as soon as the battle began, and he really had no face to ask for reinforcements, but at this time, the commander of the 93rd Regiment found a key position!

"Let the two company commanders transfer troops and restore the No. 63 position, as long as that place is stuck, the Americans can only fight one by one!" The commander of the ninety-third regiment said. "Yes!" The regimental staff officer passed the order out. What no one expected was that after this order was passed down, it directly created a miracle in the history of war on the Korean battlefield and even in the world, and this miracle has not been broken until now, that is, the miracle of war of Comrade Hu Xiudao, a first-class combat hero of the Volunteer Army, on the No. 3 position!

Hu Xiudao, who was ordered to hold the No. 3 position, and his squad leader and another soldier were responsible for holding the No. 63 position, and when they arrived at the No. 3 position, the American regiment commander also discovered the value of the No. 3 position, so he sent a combat battalion with tanks to attack it. As the battle progressed, when the squad leader and soldiers successively reinforced other positions, Hu Xiudao was left alone on the entire No. 3 position, so that he fought from morning to noon, and then to afternoon, and finally it was almost dark, when the enemy charged, he threw out a *, and then grabbed an automatic rifle, and constantly pulled the plate machine to shoot, on this day, he repelled the American army, under the cover of artillery and tanks, from the platoon to the battalion scale more than 40 attacks, creating more than 280 enemy kills, He set a record of destroying more than 280 enemies in one day and held his position. It was because of Hu Xiudao's heroic battle that the Americans were never able to concentrate their forces to attack the No. 6 position, so until the end of the Shangganling Campaign, the No. 6 position was in the hands of the volunteers!

Hu Xiudao's heroic battle shocked the Sino-DPRK Joint Command, and when he heard the news, the headquarters of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army honored him with special merit and awarded him the title of first-class combat hero. In the same year, Comrade Hu Xiudao attended the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Combat Heroes Representative Conference, and was awarded the title of Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Gold Star Medal and the Order of the National Flag of the First Class by the Standing Committee of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK. Comrade Hu Xiudao's combat deeds have inspired countless volunteer soldiers, and he deserves to be a model for soldiers and heroes of the volunteers!
