After nearly 10 days of preparation, the 15th Army prepared to launch a large-scale counteroffensive on the 597.9 heights on October 30. At 12 noon on October 30, the 15th Army began artillery preparations with more than 130 large-caliber artillery pieces and more than 30 120mm heavy mortars. The silence of noon was broken by the rumbling of artillery, and many shells hit the pillboxes that the enemy had been building for several days in the first round of shelling; The boom and boom of the huge explosion sent a number of reinforced concrete pillboxes on the 597.9 high ground directly into the sky, and the improvised fortifications on the position were even more in ashes. "Listen to the sound of artillery at least 100 or more large-caliber artillery, it's time to let the enemy taste the fire of our army." Zhao Lianfa said in the tunnel, "If the company commander's shelling stops, we will attack?" It seems that the higher-ups made great determination to shell during the day. A platoon commander said; We waited for the horn of the charge, and this time the shelling began during the day, indicating that the preparation time and firepower of this artillery fire were higher than before, and the time of the attack should still be at night or evening. Li Wenwu said calmly.

The shelling continued, and loud explosions rang out over the positions; About an hour later, the artillery suddenly stopped, and the artillery fire of the volunteers began to extend, and the South Korean army thought that the volunteers were going to launch a counterattack, so they immediately came out of the hidden fortifications to repair the fortifications of the surface positions; About 30 minutes later, the volunteers opened fire again, and the artillery fire again covered the 597.9 heights; a company of the ROK army that came out to rush out for repairs was quickly drowned in the artillery fire of the volunteers...... "Report to the colonel, the artillery fire of the Chinese ......" The ROK army operator went up to the sky amid the sound of artillery before he finished speaking......

The covered artillery bombardment of the Volunteer Army continued, except for a few bunkers and fortifications in a few dead ends, all the enemy fortifications were wiped out, and the six tanks camouflaged by the South Korean army on the position (the South Korean army still fantasized about using these tanks against our counterattack forces) were hit and caught fire in this round of artillery bombardment; These tanks and camouflages all went up to the sky. Three and a half hours later, the artillery fire of the volunteers stopped at sunset, and at this time, the officers and men of the volunteers in the tunnel sorted out their weapons and prepared to attack, and some began to move towards the exit of the tunnel...... "Don't worry, everyone, wait for the charge, I judge that there are still a few hours before the attack." Zhao Lianfa said his judgment.

An hour after the shelling stopped, a platoon of the ROK army came out of the concealed fortifications to repair the fortifications with trepidation, and after another half an hour, the artillery fire of the volunteers extended fire again; The South Korean army thought that the volunteer infantry was about to start a counterattack, and a company of Korean troops came out of the hidden fortifications to prepare for the attack of the volunteer infantry; Ten minutes later, the artillery of the Volunteer Army again carried out a covered artillery bombardment of the 597.9 heights, and a large number of shells fell on the heads of the South Korean troops who came out again......Chinese...... The South Korean troops on the positions were again covered by the artillery fire of the volunteers......

At around 22 o'clock, the sound of swishing rocket artillery shells flew through the 597.9 heights towards the enemy's deep artillery positions and the enemy's second-echelon assembly area, and 24 rocket artillery pieces of a Katyusha rocket artillery regiment of the Volunteer Army roared: "Our Katyusha! The volunteer soldiers in the tunnel shouted excitedly, "It seems that this time our artillery can suppress the enemy's artillery fire." Li Wenwu muttered to himself; Comrades, after the Katyusha shelling, our counteroffensive is about to begin; Get ready, everyone! Zhao Lianfa said. The Katyusha artillery of the Volunteer Army almost completely suppressed the artillery fire of the American army this time, and as soon as the Katyusha artillery stopped, the charging horn of our army once again broke the silence of the night; The tunnel troops immediately rushed out of the tunnel to cooperate with the counteroffensive troops and rushed to various positions on the 597.9 heights.......

Zhang Dongfang, a platoon of comrades-in-arms and the counteroffensive troops quickly attacked the No. 9 position, and several fire points temporarily erected by the South Korean army were quickly destroyed by mortar artillery; At this time, the artillery fire of the No. 9 position suddenly erupted from the dead end, and it turned out that the South Korean army had built a dark fort here. The angle of this bunker was too high for mortars to hit, and the counteroffensive forces soon suffered casualties; A demolition team rushed up to blow it up, but before it could reach the bunker, it fell halfway...... "I can't go to the blasting team anymore, is there a special bomb for bazookas?" Zhang Dongfang asked a company commander who led the team, "There are still two rounds that are not enough range, and it is difficult to hit even if they rush to the range of range." The leading company commander said; Company commander, organize all the fire to cover me, as long as the cover reaches me about 100 meters away from the bunker, I may be able to defeat it! Zhang Dongfang said firmly. Bring up the heavy machine gun and get the grenades ready! The company commander ordered, when the heavy machine gun was in place, the company commander personally went into battle and commanded other firepower: "Comrades, aim at the enemy's bunker and hit me hard!" "Tutu Tu Tu ...... The ground fire of the counter-attacking troops concentrated in the direction of the bunker, and a volley of grenades was thrown at the same time...... Zhang Dongfang finally crawled forward to a position 90 meters away from the bunker under the cover of our army's fire and the cover of the grenade explosion. Zhang Dongfang moved about 10 meters to the side, and the enemy's bullets immediately flew past his ears, and Zhang Dongfang was so pressed that he couldn't raise his head; "Hit, hit!" The company commander who led the team turned the heavy machine gun a little bit and continued to shoot at the enemy, and ordered everyone to continue firing. Suddenly a volley of bullets hit two of the enemy's firing holes, and the enemy's machine gun instantly stopped firing; Zhang Dongfang took advantage of this moment to aim at the enemy's bunker again, and this time he put the enemy's bunker in the aiming circle of the bazooka, and with a "whoosh", Zhang Dongfang shot a special bomb for the bazooka; Just listen to the explosion of the enemy, this almost most difficult to destroy bunker has finally been destroyed!

"Rush!" The counteroffensive force of the Volunteer Army rushed into the No. 9 position and engaged in hand-to-hand combat and hand-to-hand combat with the remaining South Korean troops, and after 20 minutes, the Volunteer Army completely took control of the No. 9 position. After recapturing the No. 9 position, Zhang Dongfang and a platoon cooperated with other counteroffensive troops after a half-hour tug-of-war with the enemy. Finally attacked the position of the main peak of the 597.9 heights, and the ROK troops on the position were still resisting stubbornly under the leadership of a lieutenant colonel of the ROK army (after the war, he knew that this lieutenant colonel of the ROK army was an intelligence officer and had invaded the northeast region of our country during the Anti-Japanese War); the volunteer troops once again engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the enemy, and Zhang Dongfang was fortunate to face this ROK lieutenant colonel; after a three-minute life-and-death battle, Zhang Dongfang kicked the enemy down and inserted a bayonet into the heart of this diehard; the officers and men of the volunteers who rushed to the main peak position completely wiped out the enemy and recaptured the main peak position after about 30 minutes of fierce fighting.

Zhao Lianfa, Li Wenwu, Wang Dongfeng, and Li Bao led the tunnel troops to cooperate with the counteroffensive troops, and after several hours of fierce fighting, they recaptured all the positions on the 597.9 heights, and eliminated four companies of the ROK army in formation......
