On the morning of the 29th, along with the bombing of the positions of the volunteer army in Xinxingli, the planes also airdropped a large amount of supplies and ammunition to the US troops in Xinxingli.

It is worth mentioning that the ammunition of the M19 twin 40mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun vehicle airdropped by the US army to the US army in Xinxingli was mistakenly airdropped to the US troops stationed in Surabaya, and at 9:30 on the 29th, the enemy in Surabaya, supported by five tanks, reinforced Xinxingli, but encountered the stubborn resistance of the 242nd Regiment in charge of the blocking team, and returned at 16 o'clock in the afternoon, and then the team retreated to Xiajieyuli.

The same airdrop error also occurred at the Watergate Bridge, especially after the three bombings of the Watergate Bridge, the US military transferred 8 sets of M2 loading and unloading steel bridges from Japan, so 8 C-119 transport planes each hung a heavy 1.1 ton steel bridge airdropped into the ancient soil, and unexpectedly, one of the M2 loading and unloading steel bridges floated to the position of our army.

Due to the miscalculation of the number of US troops in various areas of Changjin Lake became a reality, at 2 p.m. on the afternoon of the 29th, the division issued a new combat order to concentrate troops and give priority to the elimination of US troops in Xinxingli.

So, on the night of the 29th, the Volunteer Army in Xinxingli did not launch an attack, the reason was multi-dimensional, the reinforcement force 81st Division and the 241st Regiment were still on the way to reinforce, as mentioned earlier, due to intelligence errors, the Volunteer Army estimated the number of American troops in Xinxingli and the number of U.S. troops in the northwest of Xinxingli to be a battalion or a reinforced battalion, but in fact, the U.S. troops in Xinxingli were a reinforced regiment, and the U.S. troops in Neidongzhi were a reinforced battalion. The U.S. troops going to the Zhanhu direction were a regiment or a reinforced regiment, and it was the main force of the 81st Division that attacked the Zhanhu, and then the intelligence was reversed, and the 241st Regiment of the 81st Division who went to the Zhanhu Lake was quickly transferred back to reinforce Xinxingli.

On the other hand, the battles on the 27th and 28th resulted in heavy losses from frostbite and heavy losses of the 238th and 239th Regiments, which were responsible for the attack on Sinse-ri, and the 80th Division was reduced by two-thirds, the 238th Regiment was reduced to 6 infantry companies, and the 239th Regiment was reduced to 5 infantry companies.

Finally, the logistics supply, on the night of the 28th, the 238th Regiment and the 239th Regiment had entered the village of Xinxingli, but they lacked effective heavy firepower, were unable to expand the results of the battle, and the sky was already dawning, so they had no choice but to withdraw from the battle.

Xia Yuan witnessed the serious attrition of the 238th Regiment, and even the 3rd Battalion and the 7th Company also suffered heavy losses.

'Order the 3rd Battalion and the 7th Interspersed Company to quickly go to the 1250 heights! ’

Xia Yuan was overjoyed, when he returned to the 1250 heights, he would be able to get that cart of supplies, with such a cart of supplies, it would be easier to deal with the US troops in Xinxingli, and they didn't even have a chance to escape.

Xia Yuan thought that the people of the 239th Regiment would be able to find the place where he stored the supplies, after all, it was not far from the 1250 Heights, but he hid the materials too deeply, and the soldiers sent out to be responsible for the search did not find them, and even some of the commanders and fighters of the 239th Regiment thought that this batch of materials did not exist at all, Xia Yuan was anxious, but he did not dare to leave the team alone, and the order was not issued, and he had to be treated as a deserter if he left the team without authorization.

Now that the order was issued, at night, the 3rd Battalion and the 7th Interspersed Company said a brief goodbye to the commander of the 238th Regiment and then quickly headed for the 1250 heights.

The 29th day and night were calm, the whole Xinxing was quiet, without the sound of guns and cannons that had sounded all night, everyone felt a little unaccustomed, but behind the unaccustomed was heavy, no one said a word during the march, the soldiers were gray and dirty, and their appearance was vicissitudes, and they fought for two nights, and they rolled over and over the positions where the enemy had shelled over and over again, and by now, no one cared about personal hygiene.

Wu Wanli held the gun and quietly followed Lei Gong's side, and he carefully found that there were many fewer people in the team of the Seventh Company.

He saw Yu Congrong's silent, dark face, he saw Pinghe's bruised cheeks, he saw the warriors with bright red bandages wrapped around their heads and bodies, and he saw tears on their faces.

"Brother." Wu Wanli held the gun and came to Wu Qianli's side, "Brother, let me follow you next time, I also want to fight American devils." ”

"Huh?" Wu Qianli turned his head, glanced at Wu Wanli, and then looked at Lei Gong, "You follow Lei Gong to fight cannons, and if you cannonball well, you can also be a big hero." ”

Wu Wanli shook his head, "I don't want to be a big hero anymore, I just want to fight devils." You asked me to follow Lei Gong because you were afraid that I would be hurt, but you once said that if an egg is knocked open from the outside, it is destined to be eaten, and if you peck it yourself from the inside, it may be an eagle. I don't want you to protect me anymore. ”

Xia Yuan turned his head to look at Wu Wanli, from his face, Xia Yuan saw a trace of stubbornness and firmness, and he also saw a trace of growth.

Wu Wanli, who has lived by the river since he was a child, grew up by the river, and is a bit of a gangster, is destined to transform after experiencing the baptism of the battlefield.

Wu Qianli looked at Wu Wanli, stretched out his hand and rubbed his hat, "You follow Lei Gong and learn how to live first." ”

Wu Wanli said again: "Why didn't Brother Yuan learn from Lei Gong, why did I study with Lei Gong." ”

Wu Wanli choked.

Mei Sheng glanced at Wu Qianli, motioned for him to hand it over to me with his eyes, came to Wu Wanli's side, stretched out his hand, he carried a watch in his hand, and said very patiently: "Look at my watch, our battlefield is like this watch, each soldier is a small part of it, although the division of labor is different, but their role is the same, officially different small parts, so that this watch can be maintained without collapse." ”

Mei Sheng patted Wu Wanli's shoulder, "Artillery is also a small part, it is precisely because of the cover of artillery that we can charge fearlessly in front, and whoever leaves it, this watch will not turn." ”

Mei Sheng's words made Wu Wanli think, and at the same time, it also made the other soldiers think.

In the second half of the night, Wu Qianli asked the soldiers to stop and rest, and by the way, Xia Yuan distributed the food captured from the canned food of the US army to the soldiers of the Seventh Company, and tore a long flat strip of food and handed it to Wu Wanli in half: "Changchang, the dessert of the US army." ”

Wu Wanli and the soldiers crowded on the snow, took the food handed over by Xia Yuan, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while, couldn't help grinning, spit it out and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it, and raised his head to look at Xia Yuan: "What is this, it's the same as glue." ”

Xia Yuan smiled, tore the captured box of chewing gum from his pocket, and distributed it to the other soldiers of the Seventh Company.

While dividing, he said: "This is captured from the US military, it is called chewing gum, you can put it in your mouth and chew it all the time, it is very sweet, how is it, is it delicious?" ”

Wu Wanli stuffed the gum in his palm into his mouth again and nodded: "It's delicious." ”

Xia Yuan smiled and divided all the food on his body, put the last piece of chewing gum in his mouth and chewed, "Just spit it out when you chew it, just throw it away." ”

Wu Wanli opened his mouth: "Ah, what a waste of this." ”

Xia Yuan said: "This thing is for you to chew, and it doesn't matter if you eat it in your stomach." ”

When he was a child, he often heard his father say that chewing gum would get his intestines in his stomach when swallowed, and he would spit it out after eating.
