Late at night.

Snow was whirring and falling.

The 7th Interspersed Company was tasked with following the 239th Regiment to attack from the front, and the U.S. troops in Xinxingli had already controlled the banks of the Xinxingli River, and the volunteer soldiers occupied the high ground on all sides of Xinxingli.

On the vast mountain, the artillery fire of the US army lifted the soil on the mountain over and over again, and the snowflakes that drifted during the day covered it with a thin white carpet.

The location of the 7th Interspersed Company was in a valley on the east side of the 1250 Heights.

Wu Qianli still issued the pre-war battle order, and he asked Lei Gong: "Brother, how many cannons and shells do we still have?" ”

Lei Gong returned: "Two howitzers, four mortars." There were only five shells left for the howitzer and seven for the cannon cannon. ”

Wu Qianli said: "Shoot out these shells tonight, and let the soldiers of the artillery platoon form a second echelon in the rear to cover the fire, the battle has been carried out at this time, and the company has suffered huge casualties." ”

Lei Gong smoked a dry cigarette and laughed: "I've been waiting for this day for a long time, the soldiers of the artillery platoon have itchy hands, I thought you were going to let us hide until the end of the battle." ”

Wu Qianli glanced at Wu Wanli, "Then how can we even have these few cannons, if they are damaged, I will have to feel distressed for a long time." ”

After a pause, he suppressed his voice: "Brother, the battle has started, help me watch Dian Wanli." ”

Lei Gong nodded: "If you don't say it, I'll watch it too, but this kid is very slippery, you are worried in vain." ”

"Don't worry about it, the bullet doesn't have eyes, whether you slip or not, it's all over if you hit."

Wu Qianli asked Yu Congrong to bring a row of firepower, he looked at the soldiers with vicissitudes of life, and his eyes stayed on Xia Yuan: "Xia Yuan, tonight I will rely on you to pull out the enemy's pillbox, today I asked the regiment headquarters for two boxes of grenades, just for you, I will arrange two soldiers for you, follow you, allow you to move freely on the battlefield, only one requirement, blow up the enemy's heavy firepower points and pillboxes!" ”

Xia Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, holding the gun, and nodding heavily: "Company commander, don't worry!" If I don't blow up their shit tonight, I won't be surnamed Xia! ”

Wu Qianli said again: "Li Laicai, Zhu Weifeng, you two follow Xia Yuan, cover the fire by the way, and give you a light machine gun, give me a beautiful fight tonight, and you will definitely not be able to run!" ”

Li Laicai and Zhu Weifeng nodded heavily: "Yes!" ”

Wu Qianli began to arrange combat missions again, tonight's attack will be more fierce than the battle on the night of the 28th, and the desperate beasts will burst out with more powerful combat effectiveness, as is the case with the besieged US troops, and the combat effectiveness that erupts under despair will be even stronger.

They will play with their lives.

But who wouldn't?

The comrades-in-arms sacrificed, and the hatred that had been pent up for two days will also burst out into a strong combat force tonight, and it will be returned to the US army, and they will not languish because of the sacrifice of their comrades-in-arms, on the contrary, they will become more and more courageous, and fight back fiercely against the enemy with a strong will to fight and spirit.

Songgu Peak, Huangcaoling, Tieyuan, Shangganling, which battle is not desperate, which battle is not tragic.

The enemy, who was several times higher than our army, was a group of such people, people who had not lived a good life, who were oppressed by the landlords, by the Japanese army, and by the reactionaries.

At 11:25 p.m., there was silence on the U.S. position, and the U.S. troops in charge of the guard yawned, and they hadn't slept much for two days.

Harris brewed a cup of coffee and handed it to the guy next to him: "Hey guy, drink some coffee to refresh yourself, I guess the Chinese should not attack tonight, they didn't attack last night." ”

The guy took the coffee and drank it in small sips: "Still be careful, the Chinese are very cunning, we will evacuate Xinxingli tomorrow, to be reasonable, I have a trace of uneasiness, the retreat will definitely not be smooth, cunning Chinese." ”

Harris lay on his sleeping bag, looking at the mountains in the distance, and did not speak.

Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling in the sky overhead, and Harris was startled and shouted, "Oh, shit! Cannonball! The enemy is on the attack! ”

The cannonball landed on the ground, erupted into a violent roar, rolled up a large amount of dirt and threw it into the sky, and a single cannonball landed next to Harris, and the impact tossed him aside, and he fell to the ground with a heavy crash, his face covered with blood and dirt, and half of his body was blown to pieces. The guy in Harris's mouth was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground, blood soaking the dirt on the ground.

On the slope, Xia Yuan put away his gun, looked at the enemy's forward position, and said to Li Laicai and Zhu Weifeng: "Follow me closely, let's go to a favorable terrain!" ”

In the vast night, the volunteers, who had been accumulating artillery shells for two days, launched a fierce artillery attack on the US positions in Xinxingli, which lasted only 15 minutes. At 35 minutes, the regiments began to attack the forward positions of the American army, with the 240th Regiment due east from the northeast, the 238th Regiment from the southeast, the 239th Regiment from the southwest, and the 241st Regiment from the west and southwest.

Xia Yuan set off with Li Laicai and Zhu Weifeng, and he observed the deployment of the US army in advance through night vision on the mountain, found a position that could be attacked, and quickly attacked.

In fact, before the battle began, the volunteer soldiers were already feeling the situation of the US army's defense, and they did not rest in the camp during the day and night, scratching their tongues, touching the defense, clearing mines, cutting barbed wire, and so many things had to be done. It is not Xia Yuan's turn to do these things, as for the individual soldiers to touch the US military camp, this time is different from the time when they fall behind, when they fall behind, they move freely, but now they are back in the team, and all actions must be obeyed by the command.

The battle had begun, and the sound of guns and cannons was intertwined over the valley, and the sound of the hollow valley was endless.

The soldiers braved the cold, stared at the enemy's dense line of fire, launched a fierce charge at the enemy's position, the heavy machine guns were roaring, and the gunfire of the machine gun trucks even drowned out the sound of artillery fire, and the sound of dull, jingo intertwined was transmitted to the ears. Everywhere there was gunfire, everywhere there was flickering flames, everywhere there was the sound of a charge horn.

The enemy's forward positions are full of firepower points, Xia Yuan's task is to pull out the enemy's firepower points, but this is not easy to say, the US troops in front of the forward positions, still a large number of flares are arranged on the periphery of the barbed wire, once triggered, the flares are lifted into the air, and the charging formation of the volunteer soldiers will be exposed to the enemy's guns.

Everyone knew this, but no one hesitated, closely following the footsteps of the warriors in front of them, and resolutely charged against the enemy's bullets.

Xia Yuan pursed his lips tightly, his expression was not the slightest relaxed, he knew that tonight would be a vicious battle, but after it started, he found that this vicious battle was terrible, this was the first time he went to the frontal battlefield, and it was also the first time he came into contact with the ring defense position of the US army.

Dense bullets whizzed overhead, enemy firing points were scattered behind the positions one after another, and American GIs were shooting at the volunteers in the trenches, with mines, barbed wire, heavy artillery and tanks in the front.

It's too hard to win.
