On snowy nights, the air becomes unusually cold and the temperature drops suddenly.

Wu Qianli looked at the map and said to Mei Sheng: "Our direction is not wrong, and after three more mountains, it is Xinxingli, we have to intersperse the 1100 heights and 1200 heights in Xinxingli, there are only five days left before the total time, we have to speed up." ”

Mei Sheng glanced at the soldiers of the Seventh Company who were lying in the snow behind him, and glanced at Wu Qianli: "Three mountains, we have to take a detour, this is a huge test for us, the most important thing is that there are already soldiers in the company who have frostbite, and the food is almost exhausted, three mountains..."

He looked at Wu Qianli in silence.

Wu Qianli rolled up the map and stuffed it into his arms, "Gather all the food in the team, eat only two meals a day, set a time to eat, give priority to the frostbitten soldiers in cotton clothes, and insist on holding on to the hard bones." When the general offensive begins, we capture it from the American troops! ”

Mei Sheng nodded.

Wu Wanli touched it and took off his coat, "Brother, give my coat to the wounded soldiers." ”

Lei Gong stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Wanli's hand, "What's the matter with you, the bones haven't grown strong yet, can you freeze it?" I'm hard-boned, just give mine to the warriors, forget it. ”

Yu Congrong took a breath, "What kind of thing is this, fight Mengyin, your body has just been injured, so it will freeze again." ”

"Ah, Lei Gong's body has been injured?" Wu Wanli looked surprised.

Yu Congrong nodded, "Yes, I'll tell you..."

"Yu Congrong, you get out of the way for Lao Tzu."

Lei Gong stretched out his foot and kicked Yu Congrong, glaring at him with his eyes: "Injury is injury, I know in my heart whether I can do it, take it." ”

Wu Qianli said: "Okay, the coat is worn in turns, and everyone is ten minutes." ”

The situation of the 7th Interspersed Company was already good, having completed the task of escorting the radio station and getting supplies at Dayudong, while the situation of the other teams of the 9th Corps was more serious.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the battle has not yet begun, the Ninth Infantry Regiment has lost more than 300 troops due to frostbite, and this number will double in the next few days. Day and night are in the wild, there are holes and no grass, shoes are wet, feet are frozen into ice, take off your socks and even peel off the skin, even if it is cotton shoes, you can't bake the fire when it's wet, and you can't dry it for a long time. Food was also consumed in large quantities during the journey, and logistical supplies could not keep up, there was no hot food to eat, cold water to drink, snow on the mountains, potatoes and flour every day. Sometimes it can't be eaten if it's frozen, and the nutrition can't keep up, and the fighters generally have diarrhea, coughing, and a great loss of physical strength, which reduces their resistance.

With the passage of time, the situation will not improve, it will only get worse, the temperature of Changjin Lake is still dropping every night, and the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier.

The fighters had to confront not only the well-equipped US army, which had the advantage of land, sea and air, and had a lot of heavy firepower, but also had to fight against the cold and hunger.

The situation of the third battalion was equally severe, and the commander of the third battalion talked about the 160th soldier of the former 7th Interspersed Company, whose task was also to go to Xinxingli, and the battle began, and to hit the troops in the shortest possible time to occupy the 1100 heights and 1200 heights, and the 1100 heights could cut off the enemy's way of advance and meet the main forces of the brothers on the north bank of the river bridge, and the geographical location was particularly important.

Heights 1250 and 1100 are the two heights that the Volunteers plan to fight, Heights 1250 is the place where the US troops must retreat in the direction of Xinxingli, and Heights 1100 is the necessary place for the US troops to advance in Xinxingli. Once the U.S. forces in Xinxing find themselves surrounded by volunteers, they will be faced with two choices. Advance or retreat, once the U.S. troops in Xinxing have these two ideas, then the battle in Xinxing Li will focus on these two heights.

Therefore, the 80th Regiment of the 239th Division will hold the 1250 heights. And the 80th Battalion of the 239th Regiment of the 3rd Division will hold the 1100 heights and the 1100 heights after the 1200 heights. (The 3rd Battalion of Tan Ziwei in the Changjin Lake movie, in the real Changjin Lake battlefield, was the 2nd Battalion of the 239th Regiment of the 80th Division to complete the task, but because the 239th Regiment 2nd Battalion and 4th Company interspersed were too fierce [the prototype of the 7th Interspersed Company of the Changjin Lake Movie], a company completed the task of a battalion, captured enemy sentries in one night, killed and wounded about 300 enemies, easily destroyed an enemy howitzer position, killed the commander of the 31st Regiment, McLean, captured the flag of the Polar Bear Regiment symbolizing honor, and occupied the houses on the south bank of the river bridge, Smoothly received the brother troops in Jiangbei to cross the bridge, in general, Changjin Lake was relatively conservative)

In addition to the seventh interspersed company in the battalion with its own special tasks, there were only about 300 people left in the eighth company and the ninth company, and the severe cold caused some thinly dressed soldiers to have frostbite to varying degrees, and they seriously needed the support of the soldiers.

"Our warriors have suffered too much, and victory must be ours! If we don't have clothes, we will snatch them from the US military. The weapons are not good, so we will seize them from the US military. If the food is not good, we will eat what the US military eats, in short, there are no guns and no artillery, the enemy makes it for us! ”

Time went round and round to the 23rd, Xia Yuan used two days to explore the location west of Xinxingli, but he did not find the location of the enemy's command post, which means that this is not the position of the 7th Interspersed Company to attack, plus there are US troops on the high ground on the left and right, and he may be exposed at any time.

On the night of the 23rd, after careful consideration, Xia Yuan decided to hide the car with a large number of branches, bring enough food and a sleeping bag to the east side of Xinxingli.

This is no way, the Changjin Lake movie is cool, but after watching it, I was at a loss, I only knew that the Seventh Interspersed Company captured the flag of the U.S. Polar Bear Regiment, but where it was captured, I don't know, and through his observation, the command is not west of Xinxingli, then it is very likely to be east of Xinxingli, and the location to the east is the 1100 Heights and 1200 Heights.

And he is on the 1250 heights west of Xinxingli, which is far away.

The car can no longer be started, and it is under the eyes of the enemy, and once it is ignited, it will be discovered by the enemy, and then a cart of supplies may not be guaranteed. Xia Yuan hid the supplies, followed the 1456 heights to the east side of Xinxingli, and quickly launched a reconnaissance of the highlands on the east side of Xinxingli.

After groping for two hours, Xia Yuan came to the east side according to the map, and found that the 1200 heights and 1100 heights were not found to be garrisoned, he touched the high ground, carried out reconnaissance of the enemy on the high ground, and used two nights to successfully reconnoiter the enemy's command post, and even found an enemy howitzer position here, and the enemy's defense was also outlined by him one by one in the book, so that some of the heavy firepower locations of the American army in Xinxing appeared in the book.

Of course, this is only the U.S. military in Xinxingli, and there is no internal confrontation and the deployment of the North American army in Jiangsu.

The general situation around Xinxingli is that north of Xinxingli is a branch river of Changjin Lake, and across the river, it is the rolling mountains, there are two highlands, namely 1324.4 highlands and 1475 highlands, and the west side of the two highlands is Neidongzhi, where the 1st Battalion of the 32nd Regiment of the 7th Division of the United States Army is stationed. To the south of the river, is Xinxingli, west of Xinxingli is the 1250 highland, south is the 1456 highland, east is the 1200 highland and 1100 highland, one side is the river, three sides are surrounded by mountains, Xinxingli is in the col.

During the day, he hid in his sleeping bag and slept, and at night he went out to draw, and the contents of the notebook were more precious than the materials in the car in front of him.

At this time, there were less than three days left before the general offensive.
