This plan is much, much stronger than the sound of the Ninth Company.

When discussing the details of the operation, no one spoke throughout the whole process, all of them were listening to Xia Yuan's speech, and seeing that everyone was silent, Xia Yuan said: "Company commander, you also speak, all I can think of is this, and the operational details still need to be studied." ”

He looked at the time: "More than two hours before dark, we will discuss and discuss, and strive to be able to steal his headquarters and blow up his bridge tonight!" ”

If Xia Yuan is Wu Qianli, the enemy headquarters, and the Watergate Bridge, he wants them all.

Eventually, the battle plan was finalized.

The 20 soldiers of the 2nd platoon will be equipped with two light machine guns, eight Stern submachine guns, and 10 large 8 guns, each of which will carry 10 grenades, of which Xia Yuan alone will carry 25 grenades, and at the same time, the artillery platoon will have a squad to control two mortars to support the second platoon.

Half an hour after the second platoon launched the attack, the 7th and 9th companies would intersperse a detour back to the position of the American troops stationed in the col and launch a fierce attack on the American troops in the col, which would last for 20 minutes. And twenty minutes is exactly the time for the US reinforcements to pack up and go to the Watergate Bridge, and then turn back.

Whether it succeeds or not, they will retreat.

Before and after the attack of the seventh interspersed serial attack, Xia Yuan's second platoon would have to withstand the fierce fire of the American army for 40 minutes.

Forty minutes later, the second platoon will retreat, and at the same time, the American troops, sensing the enemy retreat on this side, will reinforce the rear of the headquarters.

Ten minutes after the departure of the enemy, the second platoon counterattacked.

And so it pulls repeatedly.

Everyone calculated the time, starting at 4:30 minutes and ending at 5:30 minutes, and they were about to complete an hour of Meng's attack.

After a 10-minute break, the tug-of-war will be staged again.

This tug-of-war will last three times to paralyze the enemy.

Lay the foundation for the change of defense of the second platoon and the general offensive force in the second half of the night.

After carefully deliberating on the detailed plan, the warriors began to check their equipment and prepare to set off.

Mei Sheng and Wu Qianli found Xia Yuan, and Wu Qianli spoke: "Your second platoon's arduous task this time is very big, don't face the enemy head-on, let the other soldiers in the second platoon pretend to attack, and you are responsible for sniping out the enemy's firepower points." ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "Company commander, I know this, you can rest assured." ”

Wu Qianli stared at him: "You must protect yourself, you are now the treasure of our company, I have discussed it with the instructor, one day in the future, the instructor and I will be sacrificed, and the seventh interspersed company will be handed over to you." ”

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, his gaze swept over Wu Qianli's dark cheeks, and then stopped on Mei Sheng's reddened eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Company commander, if I blow up the bridge of the American army, does it mean that the mission is completed." ”

"yes, the bridge bombing mission is complete."

Xia Yuan looked at the two of them, and then turned his head to look at the busy soldiers of the Seventh Company.

Wu Wanli, Pinghe, Yu Congrong, Lei Gong, He Changgui, Wu Wenxiang, comrades-in-arms of the cooking class, comrades-in-arms of the second platoon... and the soldiers of the Seventh Company, with dark cheeks and expectant faces.

After the bridge bombing mission is over, maybe you will have to cross back.

Xia Yuan thought heavily.

Wu Qianli asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xia Yuan shook his head: "Company commander, don't worry!" Seven Links will always be there! ”

The banner of the Seventh Company of Steel, in that era, was still fluttering in the wind in the sun, in the sky, facing the scorching sun and strong winds.

Wu Qianli patted Xia Yuan's shoulder and looked at his watch: "Proofread the time." ”

Mei Sheng said: "Three twenty-three o'clock." ”

Wu Qianli, Xia Yuan: "Three twenty-three o'clock." ”

Mei Sheng raised his head: "Then four thirty minutes, an hour!" ”

He looked at Xia Yuan, his lips squirmed, as if he had something to say to Xia Yuan, and finally held it in his heart, and only said, "Be careful." ”

Xia Yuan nodded.

At half past three, the men of the Seventh and Ninth Companies were assembled.

Lei Gong stepped forward and looked at Xia Yuan: "Xia boy, come back alive." ”

Xia Yuan looked at Wu Wanli, Pinghe, Yu Congrong and others, his eyes finally fixed on Lei Gong, and grinned: "Don't worry, Lei Dad, I still want to give you a pension and send you to the end." ”

Lei Gong smiled: "You kid, let's go." ”

Xia Yuan: "Hey. ”

More than 100 people set off against the wind and snow.

Xia Yuan retracted his gaze and returned to the cave, Tan Ziwei was lying on his side on the stone, his eyes were half closed, and when he saw Xia Yuan coming, he opened his eyes: "Gone?" ”

Xia Yuan hummed and didn't speak, his heart was full of uneasiness.

What is disturbing is the Watergate Bridge.

This is the movie world that belongs to the Seventh Interspersed Company, he only saw the battle in Xinxingli of Changjin Lake, and did not see the battle of the Watergate Bridge, where the fate of several people will eventually go, he doesn't know, but often this kind of movie ends in heroic sacrifice, Xia Yuan will never allow these things to happen again, he wants to reverse the final fate of the Seventh Interspersed Company.

Tan Ziwei struggled, "Help me up." ”

Xia Yuan stepped forward to support him, Tan Ziwei stood up, his eyes swept over the injuries in the cave, he turned his head to look at Xia Yuan: "Xia boy, although we are injured, we still have combat effectiveness, don't underestimate us." ”

He raised his voice: "Nine companies, stand up for Lao Tzu!" ”

Xia Yuan turned his head.

The warriors in the cave struggled, supporting each other, or using their guns to the ground, and forced themselves to stand up, although they were injured and their mobility was impaired, but their strong will was still there, and their fighting strength would not be dispersed.

Tan Ziwei looked at him: "Tonight, let's launch a general attack with you." ”

Xia Yuan was shocked, shook his head categorically and said, "How can this work, once you go up, you really can't get down." ”

Tonight's battle will definitely be even more fierce, and the soldiers of the two squads will attack the Watergate Bridge, withstand the enemy's fire for forty minutes, and retreat safely.

Two classes, twenty people.

Tan Ziwei grabbed his arm and looked firmly: "When we set foot on North Korea and saw the miserable situation of the North Korean people, we had already secretly sworn that even if we died, we would destroy the enemy. ”

"We're ready at all times."

"Whether it's us! Or your company commander! ”

"The task of blowing up the bridge is difficult, whether your second platoon can withstand the fierce artillery fire and strafing of the US army is a problem, we still have combat effectiveness, and we can still withstand a wave for you."

Tan Ziwei let go of his arm and said, "If you don't agree, it doesn't matter, we just climb, and we have to climb to the Watergate Bridge!" ”

"Comrade Xia Yuan, we have done a good job of dedicating ourselves to the great cause of peace in the motherland, although we are wounded, we can still fight, we can still destroy the enemy, even if we can't hold a gun, I will also use my mouth to bite off their flesh, so that they can no longer move forward in the direction of our motherland!"

"Comrade Xia Yuan, you can agree, we won't hold you back."

"Give me the last grenade, I'll fight them!"

At this time, Xia Yuan's eyes were red, and he stared at Tan Ziwei: "Battalion Commander, I respect you as a man, but do you really bear to watch your soldiers go to death?" I know your tenacity and determination to fight the enemy, but how many people can you destroy if you go up now? How much stress can it help us? ”

"Not only can't, but it will increase our pressure!"

Xia Yuan said: "Instead of dragging your injured body and fighting with the enemy, you should take care of your body and kill more American troops, instead of blindly sending them to death like this!" ”

He paused, but also chose to compromise: "Talking about the battalion commander, we are the first echelon, and you are the second echelon, if we can't continue the complete mission in the follow-up combat mission, you will have to complete it." ”

The battalion commander grinned, although he was scolded, this kid's scolding was really comfortable.

"Good! Then we will be the second echelon. ”

Xia Yuan's eyes swept over the wounded soldiers, and many of the soldiers' hands were frozen, so he stuffed the last bit of chilblain medicine that Lei Gong gave him from his arms to the battalion commander: "Battalion commander Tan, this is the last chilblain medicine, you let the soldiers apply some, and rest well by the way, if we really all sacrifice, the rest of the battle will be handed over to you." ”

After finishing speaking, he shouted, "Wu Wenxiang! Assemble your team! Let's go! ”

"Yes!"

Wu Wenxiang's voice came from outside: "Assemble in the second row!" ”

"Talk about the battalion commander, I'll leave it to you here, protect yourself."

Xia Yuan said: "If we can't come back, you will be regarded as the second echelon." ”

Tan Zi watched Xia Yuan's figures disappear into the wind and snow, and he turned his head to look at the seriously injured soldiers wrapped in bandages in the hole: "Check the weapons and ammunition!" Always ready to fight! ”

"Yes!"

...

The second platoon plus the artillery platoon is a squad, more than 30 people.

The tenth-squad leader of the artillery platoon said: "Platoon commander, you have given us a combat order, and we will temporarily be assigned to the second platoon." ”

Xia Yuan looked at the mountain ridge and said, "Don't worry, I'll observe the terrain first." ”

If more than 30 people can survive tonight, it is obviously impossible to withstand the enemy's fierce attack, and the only way is to arrange some contingency strategies.

The Seventh Company has left the best weapons and equipment to them, if they can withstand the attack of the US army tonight, the Watergate Bridge and the command headquarters are bound to win, if they can't withstand it, and they are out of touch with the large army, it is very likely to lead the large army into a crisis.

The reason why Xia Yuan dared to give this order was because of his absolute confidence in himself, and on the other hand, he also wanted to change the almost impossible ending through his own efforts.

He led the team, hidden under a huge pipe, and further on there was a cliff, with few bunkers, it was not easy to climb, and the enemy's heavy fire could cover the position in front, which was only feasible if it penetrated into the southern part of the enemy.

Xia Yuan's gaze swept over the mountain ridge, thought about it seriously, retracted his gaze, and said: "There is no good way, we can only break up and reorganize the two squads, arrange some emergency strategies, and reduce our casualties as much as possible." ”

"The soldiers of the 10th squad of the artillery platoon were also scattered and reorganized, so that we had 32 people and formed ten combat groups. The two mortars were placed under the control of a combat group composed of artillery platoons, and the mortars should not be used until the critical moment, but only when I received my orders. ”

Under Xia Yuan's constant orders, two squads of twenty people in the second platoon and twelve people in one squad of the artillery platoon were scattered on the spot, and ten battle groups would be formed to deal with the brutal battle tonight.

"Now I'm going to count everyone's weapons and equipment!"

According to Xia Yuan's statistics, they currently have two Czech light machine guns, ten Stern submachine guns, three Bobosha submachine guns, thirteen large eight-grain, and four Type 38 submachine guns, with sufficient ammunition, which is also the reason why the 7th Interspersed Company in Xiajieyu has been replenished with ammunition.

This is necessary, the firepower must be evenly distributed to each combat group, since their numbers are very good, if the firepower is not evenly distributed, it is quite possible to lead to a crisis situation for part of the fighters.

"The first and second groups formed a machine gun group, one light machine gun and two Type 38 rifles, and now six fighters using light machine guns and Type 38 formed a combat group. The Stern submachine guns and Bobosha formed four teams to form a fire team, and the extra ones were grouped into seven groups. The large eight grains make up the remaining group. In two minutes, I'm going to see ten battle teams standing in front of me! ”

The soldiers moved quickly, Wu Wenxiang stood beside Xia Yuan, the two of them were redundant fighters, and they would be incorporated into the reinforcement group, and they would also take on the responsibility of commanding each group.

Xia Yuan stared at them and shouted in a suppressed voice: "From now on, there will be no second platoon, no four platoons and ten squads, only the No. 1-10 battle group!" Remember not! ”

"Remember!"

The fighters grabbed their guns, crouched on the ground, and their eyes were bright.

For the orders given by Xia Yuan, strictly enforce!

This is the action power of the volunteer soldiers!

"Good! For now, everyone is silent! Follow me! ”

Xia Yuan held the big eight grains, and recalled the layout of the US army southeast of the Watergate Bridge in his mind, and began to move to the southeast.

After passing through the sight blockade of the US army, after the thirty-two people successfully touched a bunker in the southeast, Xia Yuan cautiously poked his head, and while avoiding the searchlights of the US army, he felt the situation on the US military position clearly, then retracted his body and began to arrange combat orders!

"The members of the two mortar teams stayed here, set up mortars, and cover the comrades in front, and shoot appropriately, but you must be careful, you must not expose yourself, once you find yourself exposed, quickly move to the rear, and focus on protecting the two mortars!"

The leaders of the ten teams that Xia Yuan had arranged earlier called over and quickly issued combat orders.

"The machine gun team is responsible for suppressing the fire, but I want you to spread it out, the two machine guns should be separated by a hundred meters apart, and the two machine guns cannot fire at the same time! The duration is one minute, and the firing time of each machine gun squad should be one minute! You have to give the enemy the illusion that we only have one machine gun! Pay attention, when you alternate fires, grasp the rules of both sides, and dodge the enemy's shelling, once one side encounters enemy shelling, quickly stop firing and retreat 50 meters, and the other group will wait for the enemy to shell the other group before starting to shoot! ”

"Your goal is to attract enemy shelling!"

There is only one reason why the machine gun group is placed in the rear, that is, once the machine gun sounds, it will become the enemy's primary target, and the two groups will shoot alternately to contain the enemy's artillery, even if it is a small part, it is also a pinch!

"The task of the fire team and the shooting team is very simple, to attack the enemy from the east and south, and to shoot alternately! But one more thing to remember! When the enemy's first flare comes on, shoot me! Hit hard! Only hit the first flare for the time it takes to extinguish the first flare, and continue to shoot alternately! Do you understand! ”

Under the dim bridge, the warriors nodded: "Understand!" ”

Xia Yuan said: "Don't worry about being suppressed by the U.S. military's firepower!" The enemy's fire suppression will be handed over to me! Your mission is to crush the enemy! Crush the enemy with all your might! ”

"But you have to be careful, don't be reckless! When you are pinned down by the enemy, you immediately curl up and hide in cover, waiting for the other members to help you attract firepower! What I want is for the enemy to see our powerful firepower, and at the same time, to be able to show the enemy that we really intend to take the Watergate Bridge at 4:30 in a long tug-of-war! ”

Xia Yuan said coldly: "They will take the bait!" ”

Such a plan is after careful consideration, the geographical location of the US army is superior, condescending to be able to suppress them, if the soldiers are fighting hard, it is easy to produce huge casualties, but if the soldiers maintain strong combat effectiveness at the same time, and steady and steady, step by step, the enemy will regard the volunteer army in front of him as the main force to attack the bridge.

As soon as the enemy begins reinforcements, then the plan is half the battle!

"Total attack! Take my gunfire as a signal! Give the order you just gave to the teams! ”

"Yes!"
