Chapter 53: Arrive in Xinxingli!

Surabaya is two or three kilometers away from this road, coupled with the fact that the US military's night combat capability is not strong, and it lacks air support capabilities, throughout the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there are few US troops who attack the defense line of the Volunteer Army at night, which is also one of the reasons why Xia Yuan chose to fight at night.

In addition, it will take a certain amount of time for the reinforcements of the US army to come, and the first thing they have to consider is the mobility of the tank, especially in such a snowy weather, whether the tank's fuel tank will freeze and so on.

Xia Yuan kept his composure in his heart, drove the car calmly, and turned his head to look at Surabaya from time to time.

In the next second, there was a sharp roar in the sky, and the sound of enemy shells falling was heard in front and behind, accompanied by the shaking of the ground, the snow melted, the soil was overturned and rolled up, and the shells fell one after another on the road, in the field, and even the ice on the surface of Changjin Lake was attacked by enemy artillery fire, and the ice on the lake was torn apart instantly.

"If the car can't move, bombard me with a cannon! If you really have yours, wait for me, I will definitely destroy your troops in Liutan! ”

Xia Yuan's heart began to beat violently, if he was shot, he would be killed in a car crash. He gritted his teeth, the materials on the car had already been transported here, how could he say that he would lose it, besides, it was completely a matter of probability, it was very dark, and the US military estimated that he received a message from the guard post in front and found himself on the highway, but they may not know the specific location, they only know that they are on the highway.

And from where these shells fell, it is not difficult to see that they are firing indiscriminately.

"No matter! Fight! ”

Xia Yuan gritted his teeth, stepped on the accelerator stubbornly, and passed through the enemy's artillery coverage area, and he was safe.

The car had already passed through the village in Surabaya, and some distance ahead was the Zhigan River of Changjin Lake, there was a bridge over the river, the bridge was intact, the engine of the truck roared, Xia Yuan pursed his lips tightly, and his heart beat suddenly. Behind him was the enemy's fierce artillery fire, the ground shook from time to time, and the sky emitted a sharp roar of cannonballs as they fell, making people feel their scalps tingle.

The car immediately went on the bridge, a shell fell on the side of the body very abruptly, Xia Yuan's heart suddenly rose to his throat, the car was out of control, he quickly released the accelerator, and held the steering wheel with both hands to keep the car stable. Just when the body was about to deviate from the road and rush under the bridge, Xia Yuan tapped the steering wheel, turned the body back to the right, and turned back to the bridge.

Call!

The car got on the bridge, Xia Yuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, there was no danger through the artillery fire of the US army, and the roar of the US artillery could be heard behind him, and the earth was trembling slightly, but they didn't know that they had run away.

Once you got on the bridge, you walked away from Surabaya and headed towards Sinsing-ri.

Along the Surabaya Highway, there is a U-shaped road with two highlands on the left and right sides. On the left side is close to Changjin Lake, also in the U-shaped highway is the 1221 highland, and on the right is the 1142 highland.

"This is 1221 Heights, this is 1142 Heights, but these two Heights are very calm, and there seems to be no one there."

(The so-called highland names are the altitude of the highland peaks where they are located!) The 1221 Heights, that is, the elevation of this mountain is 1221 meters. )

Half an hour later, Xia Yuan arrived at this location, looking at the peaks on both sides of the road, forming a left and right flanking trend, this is a good ambush point, and even the map is marked, now it seems that the two highlands are very calm, probably the brothers have not yet arrived, he can arrive so quickly, one is to drive the car, the other is to take the road, not at all worried about meeting the US army, because it is useless to worry, if you don't go here, the materials on the car will not come at all.

He had to bite the bullet and take the road.

"Speed up."

Xia Yuan stepped on the accelerator, his eyes swept over the mountains on the left and right, without the slightest movement, for fear of encountering the American army or the South Korean army, he did not stay here for long, and he did not even check on the mountain, and quickly drove towards Xinxingli in front.

The process of the Battle of Xinxingli was extremely difficult, and what I saw in the Changjin Lake movie was only a picture interspersed behind the enemy, and it was only one night in the Battle of Changjin Lake. The battle at Xinxingli lasted for five days, completely annihilating the 31st Regiment of the US 7th Division and capturing a flag of the Polar Bear Regiment.

In the vast wind and snow, Xia Yuan glanced at the map, he was already very close to Xinxingli, and if he drove further, it was estimated that he would be able to see the forward positions of the US troops, thinking about it, Xia Yuan decided to hide the materials on the car in the mountains and forests in front of him.

He found the corner of a mountain, and after more than half an hour's effort, he hid the car in the corner and covered it with branches and snow.

While covering, he opened the shed in the car and took away an eiderdown sleeping bag. Xia Yuan didn't know how long he would have to wait here, and he still had to have the warmth.

"The car will not be able to drive at that time, and the front is estimated to be the forward position of the US military, so I will observe the enemy situation first."

Xia Yuan hugged his body, stuffed his sleeping bag into the driver's seat, and groped his way towards the mountain with a gun.

At the time of Xia Yuan's operation, between the lofty mountains and mountains in all directions of Changjin Lake, a team of volunteers was quickly assembling in the direction of Changjin Lake, heading to their intended location at full speed.

There are only six days left before the Battle of Changjin Lake begins!

The vast wind and snow, the mountains and forests covered in silver, the branches of the trees are covered with snow, the fallen leaves on the ground have been covered with snow, and the steep places are densely covered with rocks and cliffs.

Xia Yuan stepped on the snow, crunching, the fallen leaves under the snow would be accompanied by the squeezing of the snow, making a sound again, he moved forward cautiously, carefully erasing the traces behind him.

After groping for more than ten minutes, he made his own marks on the trees along the way, and soon came to a small hill and stopped, and did not continue to go deeper, Xia Yuan squatted on the snow and looked down the mountain.

"Under the mountain is Xinxingli, from the layout, the special fortifications built in front of me should be the forward position of the US army, and the hill in front of me is the 1250 heights, the US army has built fortifications on 1250, the number of fortifications is not much, two pillboxes plus three heavy machine guns, three artillery, the enemy's strength should be about a company."

Xia Yuan's gaze turned and looked at the other side of the mountain, "Heights 1456, the same company of the US army stationed there, the same fortifications, and the same situation on Heights 1250, these two directions are not so easy to break through,"

At night, there are not many guard posts set up by the US military on the forward positions, of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are secret posts like those in Surabaya, which are well camouflaged, and even he has not found them.

At present, the Polar Bear Regiment has not yet entered Xinxingli, and the volunteer soldiers have not yet arrived at the combat position, and the American army occupies Xinxingli and both sides of the mountain, and builds fortifications on it. It's just that the number of U.S. troops in these fortifications is not large, Xia Yuan thought about it carefully, and decided to draw a map of the U.S. military in Xinxing when he determined that there was enough time.

He took out a fountain pen and a small notebook that he had captured earlier, hid in the shadows, and drew out the enemy's defense of the forward positions as he observed.

The fountain pen doesn't get water, so it snuggles up in your arms and warms it up until you can leave a simple line. His painting is not very good, it is very rough, as long as he can understand it. The basic situation of the US army's blockhouses and forward positions were drawn one by one.

Xia Yuan's eyesight doesn't know if night vision can strengthen his eyes, not only can he see night vision, but even his vision has become very powerful, and he can clearly see the faces of the American troops in the forward position, which is very clear.

"Seven concrete bunkers, and two hidden bunkers found, what can be observed in this direction is basically observed, and I need to continue to observe in another direction."

In the next few days, every night, Xia Yuan touched the mountains on both sides to observe the positions of the US troops, the arsenal, the location of fuel, the steel positions composed of tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft machine gun vehicles, and machine gun vehicles.
