Chapter 43: Simple Map of Xinxingli (Ask for Collection)
Wang Yonghe arranged it like this: "Two light machine guns are left for a platoon of firepower, and they are suitable for interspersing and winding. The heavy machine guns are left for the second platoon to fight the position, as for the two guns, we can form an artillery squad to blow up the enemy's fire points, and what is the rest called, semi-automatic rifles, a large part of the supply of the third platoon and the second platoon. The submachine guns were divided into a row of fire. The rest of the supplies were distributed equally, with priority given to the wounded and weakened fighters. ”
The three platoon commanders have no objection to this, and the first platoon of firepower serves as the output, and after interspersing and winding, the position naturally goes without saying. The second platoon had heavy machine guns and could fight positional warfare, and although the third platoon did not get a machine gun, semi-automatic rifles also supplemented their combat effectiveness and were very suitable for positional warfare.
"Weird, company commander, there are still some canned food in the car, this is an American product, much better than our fried noodles."
The second platoon leader found a box containing canned food, opened it and saw that it was full of cans.
Wang Yonghe was distributing guns and ammunition, and turned his head to glare at this guy: "Don't move these things." ”
The second platoon leader grinned and said, "Gotcha." ”
Xia Yuan walked over, and as soon as the second platoon commander turned his head, he asked the hygienist: "How is Comrade Xia Yuan's injury?" Seriously not? ”
The hygienist shook his head: "Comrade Xia Yuan's wound has not deteriorated, someone has treated it before, and the herbs used have also played a role, I gave him some anti-inflammatory drugs, those medicinal herbs can continue to work, and there should be no problem in recovery." ”
Second platoon leader: "That's okay, Comrade Xia Yuan, thank you, I can't speak, I will definitely help you when I meet you in the future." ”
Xia Yuan said with a smile: "Then thank you to the second platoon commander first, by the way, these canned food are distributed to comrades with severe frostbite, so much, I can't eat it alone." ”
The second platoon commander shook his head: "That's not good, we've already taken a lot of your things, and we can't take any more." ”
Xia Yuan directly carried the box and stuffed it to the Shandong man in front of him, "If you want to take it, you can take it, there are so many cans, where can I finish eating alone, besides, I still have it on me." ”
As he spoke, he patted his pocket, which contained the cans he had opened earlier, enough for him to eat for a few days. After the Battle of Changjin Lake, he will be able to return, but these soldiers will remain on the Korean battlefield to defend their homeland.
He remembered that he had read the post-war statistics of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and that all the regiments that participated in the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea had only a handful of corps with a complete structure at the company level, and none of the teams with a complete formation at the battalion level had been disabled, and some battalions had only a few people left, and all the battalion commanders and instructors had died, and there were no personnel in command.
Xia Yuan gave all the things he could give to his brothers.
Instructor Li took Xia Yuan's hand and thanked him very much.
The team took a simple rest in the forest, and the soldiers who had just received supplies really had to rest and recuperate to relieve themselves.
Here, Wang Yonghe and the company commander, Instructor Li and Xia Yuan gathered together, with their hands in their sleeves, Wang Yonghe said: "The seventh interspersed company is estimated to be a special mission, I have heard about this team in the regiment, every time the task is very dangerous, in the previous battles, the seventh interspersed company played a huge role, they took out the enemy's pillbox group in a short period of time, reducing the casualties of the large army, the company commander Wu Qianli is a character, but you are estimated to be unable to catch up now." ”
Xia Yuan asked, "Why can't you catch up?" ”
Wang Yonghe and Instructor Li glanced at each other, and Instructor Li said with a smile: "The task we received was to go to Liutanli and Xiajieyuli, and the task of the Seventh Interspersed Company is estimated to be similar to ours, all in Changjin Lake, but if you can meet us, it also means that you are going in the wrong direction." ”
20th Company of the 59th Regiment of the 177th Division of the 6th Army, the Ice Sculpture Company of Dead Eagle Ridge!
Xia Yuan suddenly remembered, no wonder this company would be so familiar with it, it turned out to be one of the Changjin Lake Ice Sculpture Company.
The 59th Division of the 20th Army received the task of cutting off the connection between the US troops in the two areas between Liutanli and Xiajieyuli, dividing and encircling, among which the 6th Company of the 177th Regiment served as a blocking mission in the Dead Eagle Ridge, climbing the ice and lying in the snow for six days and seven nights, when the battle started, there was no gunfire in the direction of the Dead Eagle Ridge, and the US troops passed through the Dead Eagle Ridge smoothly, and the commander of the 20th Division of the Volunteer Army who was commanding the operation at that time was furious, and even threatened: "Which regiment is guarding the Death Eagle Ridge, and the company commander of this regiment shot me dead." ”
After a while, another news came, "The brothers of a company guarding Dead Eagle Ridge were all frozen on the snowy mountain and turned into ice sculptures." After hearing this, Dai Kelin, commander of the 59th Division of the 20th Army, howled and cried.
When the soldiers carried down the brothers of this whole company on the snow mountain, there were a total of 125 people in the whole company, only two survived, and the rest all froze to death on the snow mountain, they found a piece of paper on one of the soldiers of the sixth company, which read: I love my relatives and the motherland, and I love my honor even more, I am a glorious volunteer soldier, ice and snow! I will not yield to you! Even if it's freezing to death! I will stand proudly on my ground!
Xia Yuan came back to his senses and looked at Company Commander Wang and Instructor Li in front of him, his eyes became complicated and in awe. He divided the candy in his arms between the two, "Company Commander Wang, Instructor Li, this is a chocolate candy captured from the US army, you can taste it." ”
The two of them took it and did not eat it, but put it in their pockets.
Xia Yuan took out some more from his pocket and stuffed them into the two, but the two refused, "Comrade Xia Yuan, you have given us enough things, you keep this thing for yourself." ”
Xia Yuan touched his pocket: "I still have it on me, you can rest assured that you can take it." ”
couldn't resist Xia Yuan's enthusiasm, so the two had to accept it.
Dividing the things between the two of them, Xia Yuan thought for a while, "Company Commander Wang, Instructor Li, I want to return to the team, the task of the seventh interspersed company is to attack the American troops in Xinxingli, I need a map, a map that can guide me in the direction." ”
Wang Yonghe nodded: "This is simple, our direction and the direction of Xinxingli are relative, Xinxingli is in the north of Xiajieyuli, our direction is also north, along Xiajieyuli all the way to the north, you can arrive at Xinxingli, and we can also determine the current location of the Seventh Company through the radio station and the headquarters." ”
Xia Yuan got up excitedly and thanked: "Thank you, Company Commander Wang!" Thank you, Instructor Lee! ”
Instructor Li pulled Xia Yuan, "Comrade Xia Yuan, don't be excited, you still have injuries on your body, and this road is not easy, on the way through Xiajieyuli, you will encounter a large number of American troops." ”
Xia Yuan said solemnly: "I have encountered a lot of enemies along the way, this is not a problem for me, the most important thing is to return to the team!" ”
"Comrade Xia Yuan, don't worry, let the radio liaison contact the command first."
Instructor Li got up, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered a question, and hurriedly stopped Instructor Li: "Instructor Li, it is now the time of the mission, the radio stations are in a state of radio silence, rashly using the radio to contact, it is very likely that the enemy will find out, or forget it, I just need to know the direction and touch it slowly." ”
The three of them had a simple discussion, and Instructor Li asked the soldiers with experience in drawing maps to draw a simple map about Xinxingli to Xia Yuan, this map was drawn from their mission battle map, and the map was marked in detail on several highlands in Xinxingli, and the combat plan was not marked, just a simple map, it was estimated that the troops were thinking that if the battle on this side of Liutanli ended early, they would go to support the battle in Xinxingli, and if the battle in Xinxingli ended early, they would go to support Liutanli. Coupled with the simple descriptions of the two, Xia Yuan could understand the hand-drawn map.
There is still a huge difference between the hand-drawn map of the Volunteer Army and the hand-drawn map of the West Eight, Xia Yuan understood the map of the support army, and then looked at the map drawn by the West Eighth Army, he still couldn't understand it, but some roads at least the way the two sides expressed themselves were the same, so in contrast, the map drawn by the West Eight could also understand that some of the lines represented the meaning of the highway.
