With the arrival of the evening, the first day of the US offensive stopped, and the No. 9 position, which was the gateway to the main peak of the 597.9 heights, was still in the hands of the volunteers; the ammunition consumption of the volunteers was huge, 10 machine guns were damaged, and the consumption of grenades and grenades reached 10,000; The damage rate of weapons has already reached 80 per cent...... Zhao Lianfa, Li Wenwu, and Qin Zhonghua first counted the number of volunteers again in the main tunnel, and after a day of fierce fighting, the number of seriously wounded had reached 30, and only 15 cadres and soldiers of the volunteers were not injured, and 15 were lightly wounded. Zhao Lianfa, Li Wenwu, and Qin Zhonghua held another battle summary meeting in the tunnel, and Zhao Lianfa spoke first: "Today's combat comrades gave full play to the fine traditions of our army, especially in the afternoon battle, which overcame the shortcomings of the morning and finally ensured that the No. 9 position was not lost, and the main peak of the 597.9 highland was as stable as Mount Tai; Zhang Dongfang, Li Laopao, Zhang Yu, Zhao Baolin...... It is hoped that comrades will learn from these comrades in future battles by giving full play to their flexible strategies and tactics and performing relatively well in striking at the enemy's tanks and high-value targets and against the enemy's infantry. "It was already dark, and I judged that our brother troops would soon counterattack this evening to recover the lost positions on the 597.9 Heights and 537.7 Heights Beishan; we left 10 people led by Deputy Company Commander Qin to guard the tunnel, and the company commander and I led 20 people to cooperate with the brother troops to counterattack, and after the counterattack was successful, the seriously wounded followed the stretcher team back to the rear. Comrades seized the time to sort out the ammunition and prepare for battle within half an hour. Li Wenwu added. Li Erbao...... Wait for 10 lightly wounded and I to guard the tunnel to prevent the enemy from sneaking up. "Qin Zhonghua ordered.

At 8 p.m. on October 14, the first counterattack of the Volunteers began; Eighty artillery pieces of various types of artillery fired fiercely at the US troops on the 597.9 heights, and many of the fortifications that the US troops had just built on the occupied positions collapsed in an instant; the two tanks that the US troops left on the positions to be used as artillery were also destroyed by the artillery fire of the volunteers. After 20 minutes, the artillery fire of the volunteers stopped; The counterattack force composed of four companies launched a charge towards the 597.9 heights with the charge (the volunteer counterattack troops tried to get as close to the 597.9 heights as possible during the preparation of artillery fire). After 10 minutes, the counterattack force joined forces with the Ninth Company at the main peak position and the No. 9 position, and Zhao Lianfa briefed the battalion commander Li Baoguo and the four company commanders who led the team on the situation of the five positions occupied by the US army; In the end, it was decided that the troops would divide into 5 routes to take the positions occupied by the enemy, and those who had completed the task first would support the comrades who had not yet completed the task.

Zhao Lianfa, Li Wenwu and the soldiers of the Ninth Company cooperated with the first platoon and the second platoon of the 7th Company of the 136th Regiment to attack the No. 11 position first. Soon, the telescope was handed to the platoon commanders who did not have telescopes for observation. "The Americans are too capable of building fortifications, when will we have this ability?" A platoon commander sighed; "There will be that day, and it won't be too far away; If we live, we will surely see that day. Li Wenwu replied.

"Let's send a platoon to make a tentative attack to see what other bunkers the enemy has." Zhao Lianfa ordered. The counterattacking force sounded the charge horn again and launched an attack on position No. 11, and the attacking force rushed halfway to open fire on the attacking troops in addition to the original bunkers, with two more hidden fire points; The feints were pinned down in the middle of the road. The counterattack troops of the Volunteer Army quickly used mortars to carry out precise strikes on the enemy's firing points, bunkers, and bunkers, and an explosion sounded, and the enemy's bunkers, bunkers, and firepower points rose to the sky. After the sound of artillery, Zhao Lianfa, Li Wenwu and the deputy company commander of the counterattack force found through the telescope that there was still an enemy bunker and a bunker on slightly higher ground that had not been completely destroyed, and were still spewing flames......

"There are two left, the artillerymen will kill him!" Zhao Lianfa ordered, "There are no more shells." The platoon commander of the artillery platoon of the seventh company replied. Demolition team, blow it up! "Zhao Lianfa ordered again;" Wait a minute, company commander, let me try it with a bazooka, as long as I enter 150 meters from the enemy bunker I am sure. "Zhang Dong asked the company commander;" Can you really hit every shot? Zhao Lianfa confirmed to Zhang Dongfang again, "I can guarantee it!" Zhang Dongfang replied firmly. Okay, you're responsible for taking out the last three enemy fire points with bullets; Blast a group of feints to match and prepare grenades! Fire cover!" Zhao Lianfa gave an order. One by one, grenades were thrown at the enemy's positions, and our light and heavy machine guns and automatic guns fired at the enemy's firing points at the same time; Zhang Dongfang and three comrades of the demolition group rushed to the enemy's bunker and fire point. Under the cover of the grenade explosion smoke screen and the firepower of his comrades, Zhang Dongfang ran with a low body curve for a while, and crawled forward for a while; First came to a position 130 meters away from the enemy's highest bunker, quickly aimed and fired a special rocket launcher; "There was an explosion with a bang", and the enemy's bunker on high ground was successfully destroyed. After the enemy's bunker on high ground was destroyed, the enemy's other two fire points concentrated fire and fired wildly at Zhang Dongfang's position; Two comrades of the 1st Demolition Group of the feint attack (one soldier had already died during the charge) seized the opportunity to rush to the enemy's bunker and blew it up completely with blasters and explosives packs. Just as the enemy's third firepower point adjusted its firepower and fired at the demolition group, Zhang Dongfang had already rushed to a position 150 meters away from the enemy's third firepower point, and after quickly aiming, he fired a special rocket launcher again, completely destroying the enemy's third firepower point. "Good! Well played! It's all good! "The comrades-in-arms who were using binoculars to observe and prepare for the attack shouted in unison." Comrades! Come on! "Under the command of Zhao Lianfa and Li Wenwu, the counterattack troops rushed to the No. 11 position, and in less than 10 minutes, the volunteer counterattack troops rushed to the No. 11 position; The counterattack force of the Volunteer Army and the American army launched a hand-to-hand encounter, and the shouts of killing in Chinese and English were mixed in the position (the American army was fully mentally prepared for the counterattack of the Volunteer Army at night, and the defensive will of the American army was still relatively strong), and after about an hour of brutal fighting, the Volunteer counterattack force completely wiped out the American army and recaptured the No. 11 position. Zhang Dongfang killed two U.S. Pyros in the battle, and one of the U.S. Pyros inflicted some casualties on the Volunteer counterattack during the battle.

After the successful counterattack on the No. 11 position, Zhao Lianfa and Li Wenwu led the counterattack troops to quickly reinforce the counterattack of the No. 2 position. Before the reinforcements arrived, the battle of the Volunteer Army's counterattack on the No. 2 position did not go well, and the platoon leader Sun Zhanyuan led the assault platoon to be blown off by U.S. artillery shells during the counterattack to the No. 2 position; "Platoon commander, I'll carry you down," a soldier advised Sun Zhanyuan, "Platoon commander, you go down first." "The comrades-in-arms worked together to persuade Sun Zhanyuan." Don't say it, I'm a party member and a commander; I will never leave my post until I complete the tasks assigned by the party. Sun Zhanyuan said firmly. Sun Zhanyuan picked up the machine gun and shot at the enemy's firepower point, "Demolition team, hurry up and blow up the enemy's firepower point!" Sun Zhanyuan continued to give orders to his comrades. Under the cover and encouragement of Sun Zhanyuan, the soldiers of the assault platoon quickly blew up the enemy's three firepower points and attacked the No. 2 position in one fell swoop. The assault platoon suffered casualties again under the enemy's counterattack........

"Bastard, I'll let you come, come on......." Sun Zhanyuan used the enemy's firepower point that had been occupied to shoot at the enemy who was counterattacking with two enemy machine guns, and the enemy who was caught off guard suddenly fell in a large area; Sun Zhanyuan used the enemy's machine gun to repel the enemy's two counterattacks, and when the enemy pounced on him for the third time, Sun Zhanyuan's machine gun was already out of bullets, and Sun Zhanyuan pulled the last grenade in the face of the enemy who was about to pounce....... With a bang, our hero was killed along with a dozen enemies....... 1 minute later, Zhang Dongfang and his comrades rushed to the No. 2 position, "suddenly, suddenly...... Bastard, take your life to ....." The battle between the remaining fighters of the assault platoon and the troops who arrived with reinforcements reached a fever pitch with the American army....... After another 20 minutes of fighting, the American troops in position 2 were completely wiped out by us. At the same time as the counterattack on the No. 2 and No. 11 positions began, the counterattack operations of the Volunteer Army in other directions on the 597.9 Heights were rapidly launched; after four hours of fierce fighting, the counterattack troops of the Volunteers completely wiped out the US troops on the positions, and all the positions lost during the day on the 597.9 Heights were restored. In this counterattack operation on the 597.9 heights, two companies of the US army were completely annihilated, and more than 40 seriously wounded were sent down to the 597.9 heights in Shangganling and transferred to the rear hospital at night. The counterattack troops of the Volunteer Army paid nearly 50% of the price in the counterattack battle, and the four companies participating in the counterattack were no longer perfect; The last five companies that had been disrupted established established a temporary party branch and a reinforced company, with Zhao Lianfa as the company commander and Li Wenwu as the instructor; Li Wenwu also served as the secretary of the temporary party branch.

At the same time as the 597.9 Heights Counterattack began, the Volunteers also counterattacked the 537.7 Heights with four companies, supported by 80 artillery pieces and with the cooperation of the tunnel troops, and after four hours of fierce fighting, they completely annihilated more than 500 South Korean puppet army troops on the 537.7 Heights, and restored all the positions on the 537.7 Heights (due to the ease of attack and difficulty in defending the 537.7 Heights, the surface positions were almost all lost in the daytime defensive battles, and only two small heights were left in the hands of the Volunteers).
