Chapter 11: Scout Xia Yuan's first night operation

He didn't expect to go to the reconnaissance squad tonight, Xia Yuan thought that in the remaining days, he would dig a well to cross it, but he didn't expect things to take a turn for the better.

Previously, he had thought about how to convey information about the enemy's attack target to his superiors, and the final way to think was to tell his superiors through the enemy.

The most direct way he could think of was to fight on the Nameless Heights, capture the enemy's battle diaries, or capture prisoners.

It is a pity that it is the stick soldiers who are stationed on the nameless heights, and you must know that on the Korean battlefield, the US military does not treat the stick soldiers as human beings, why is there a big discrepancy between the number of casualties counted by the US army after the war and the number of casualties counted by our army, and the number of casualties killed by our army is much higher than that counted by the US army.

That's because among the enemies killed by our army, there are stick soldiers, but the US military does not count the stick soldiers, only their own casualties, but they do not count the stick soldiers.

Not only did they not count the stick soldiers, but they also did not count the casualties of soldiers from other countries.

It is for this reason that Xia Yuan does not think that the stick soldiers stationed on the nameless heights can know the next battle plan of the US army, and they must catch the enemy's commander in order to obtain the enemy's next plan.

Xia Yuan thought about it seriously and felt that the feasibility of this method was not very high, and he still had to grasp the tongue of the US army to obtain the enemy's battle plan for the next step.

Thinking about it, Xia Yuan yawned and decided to squint for a while, recuperate his spirits, and wait until tonight to see the reconnaissance team's plan of action.

It got dark quickly, Xia Yuan spread the mattress on the ground and slept on the ground, this sleep was also quite heavy, and he hadn't rested well for a period of time, and the quality of sleep was not very good, and the current rest was just to make it better to act tonight.

At dinner time, squad leader Hu found Xia Yuan, woke him up, and took the bowl: "Eat something, I have to go out tonight, and I have to eat enough to have the strength to work." ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "Hey." ”

"Eat slowly."

Squad Leader Hu looked at Xia Yuan, who was gobbling up, sat beside him, and rolled a cigarette, "Scouts are more dangerous, when performing tasks, you must pay attention to safety." ”

"Squad leader, don't worry, I'll come back safely."

"Hmm."

After eating, Xia Yuan held his gun and said hello to squad leader Hu, deputy squad leader Li, and platoon leader Sun, and then found Company Commander Gao.

"Let's go, I'll take you there now."

Company Commander Gao put down the work at hand, took Xia Yuan to the position, and set off in the direction of the No. 5 position, and greeted the soldiers he met when he passed by: "Company commander!" ”

Company Commander Gao took him to the tunnel of the No. 5 position, "Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou, I will bring you a new soldier, you know." ”

Lao Zhou is a relatively thin soldier, he looks like he is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with an American-made submachine gun on his back, and several soldiers around him also carry American-made submachine guns.

Lao Zhou looked up, "Company commander!" Comrade Xia Yuan! You're coming. ”

Company Commander Gao nodded: "Well, he'll hand it over to you." ”

Lao Zhou sighed and looked at Xia Yuan, "Sit down first." ”

Xia Yuan found a place to sit down, holding his big eight grains, and the high company commander asked again, "Have you eaten it?" What are you ready to do? ”

"I've eaten, I'll act at nine o'clock tonight."

Lao Zhou replied, "But you have to go over to the stepping point in advance, maybe you will set off when it gets dark." ”

"That's okay, try not to delay the time, bring him more, he is still a recruit, so he went to the battlefield once, and tonight is mainly to take him to see how you fight alone."

Company Commander Gao said again: "Teach him more, some skills." ”

"Hmm."

Lao Zhou nodded.

Company Commander Gao simply said hello and left.

Lao Zhou said: "My name is Zhou Xuemin, call me Lao Zhou, and Zhou squad leader can do it." ”

Xia Yuan: "My name is Xia Yuan. ”

A very honest-looking soldier beside him said: "We know you, the hero of the nameless highland raid, who killed such an enemy for the first time on the battlefield, and we admire you very much." ”

He said again: "My name is Niu Chong, just call me Lao Niu, we don't have so many rules for reconnaissance." ”

"Hey, you can just call me Xia Yuan."

Simple chat, everyone quickly got acquainted, the soldiers are still admired for being able to fight, heroic, the most despised is the coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the recruits, the soldiers are still very tolerant, after all, they also came from that period.

But Xia Yuan's bravery in the first battle was unanimously recognized by all the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company, and many soldiers admired this recruit very much.

Many soldiers thought that they were on the battlefield for the first time, and that they were able to kill the enemy and not be frightened and retreated, which was already very heroic, but they did not expect that someone was even more heroic than them.

It also proves that some people are born to be soldiers.

It was almost dark, and Lao Zhou called all the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon to discuss the combat mission tonight.

Lao Zhou spread out the combat map, illuminated it with a kerosene lamp, and said: "Recently, the movements of the US military have been frequent, and after reconnaissance and platoon, it can be basically concluded that the US army is preparing some moths inside, and they will use a car to pull the soldiers out of Shangganling during the day, set off with a full car, and come back empty. In the evening, they drove the soldiers back again, without turning on the lights, thinking that this would be able to trick us, but they did not know that their every move was very clearly grasped by our army. ”

"The superiors have given us an order to come back with a big tongue and figure out the enemy's battle plan."

"Yes!"

The fighters of the reconnaissance platoon whispered.

He pointed out a location on the map, "Cangshan at the northern foot of the Xiaganling Mountains, where soldiers of a company of the US army are stationed, after reconnaissance, it can be determined that the basic defense of this group of enemies, compared with the South Korean army on the nameless heights, a company of the US army has more than 200 people, equipped with light machine guns, heavy machine guns, anti-tank firepower and other heavy firepower, and built machine gun bunkers, machine gun bunkers and other important fortifications. The two are not of the same magnitude at all, and our target is the US military in Cangshan. ”

"Now I will assign the task, the first group, go up the mountain from the west side, the second group, go up the mountain from the east side, the third group go up the mountain from the north side, and the fourth group go up the mountain from the south side, Xia Yuan will follow me to act."

"Yes!"

"Be careful, and once spotted by the enemy, retreat quickly."

"Yes!"

"Pack up your gear." Platoon Commander Zhou turned his head and looked at Xia Yuan: "The second time I went to the battlefield, I was nervous or not." ”

Xia Yuan shook his head: "Don't be nervous." ”

"Oh, it's good, the first time I went to the battlefield, I was pulled up by the squad leader, and the squad leader said, you retreated the first time, the second time, the third time, you will want to retreat."

Platoon Commander Zhou opened the ammunition box in the tunnel, stuffed orange bullets into his bullet bag, and said as he stuffed them: "If I can be as good as you did when you first went to the battlefield, then the squad leader will not die because of me." ”

He sighed a little.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance squad were silently loaded with bullets and grenades, and the skin of each of them was dark and rough after being exposed to the wind and sun, but it was full of stories, and they came all the way, experienced the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and they didn't know how many familiar comrades-in-arms left them one by one.

They can only turn the grief in their hearts into motivation to keep them moving forward.

Xia Yuan suddenly thought of the number '677', which was the number of his last world, 677 was just a string of cold numbers, but behind this string of cold numbers, it represented 677 warriors.

"Need to restock?" Platoon Commander Zhou held a grenade, "I heard the company commander say, you are very good at throwing bombs, more accurate than grenadiers, bring more grenades." ”

"Hey."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"You use an American rifle, we don't have many bullets in the American rifle here, they are all in the No. 1 tunnel, you are also a soldier over there, did you replenish it when you came?"

Platoon Leader Zhou asked again.

Xia Yuan nodded: "There are three hundred bullets on the body, which is enough." ”

Platoon Commander Zhou nodded, didn't say anything, pulled out a few long strips of cloth from his arms, and stuffed them into him: "Three hundred rounds of ammunition is too much, it is inconvenient to carry, it is basically enough to bring fifty rounds, use the strips of cloth to tighten the body to ensure that the weapons and ammunition on the body will not make a sound when walking." ”

Xia Yuan took the strip of cloth, silently took out the bullets on his body, left fifty bullets on his body, and used the strip of cloth to tighten the leggings and tighten the clothes, especially the grenades wrapped around his waist.

Platoon Commander Zhou said: "The grenade doesn't need to be strangled so tightly, if you encounter an emergency and can't take it out, just tie it a little to ensure that it won't make a collision sound." ”

Xia Yuan nodded, and learned again that going out to reconnoiter is not to set off with a gun, it still requires a lot of preparation.

After a brief preparation, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon simply moved to ensure that the weapons and ammunition they carried would not make a sound, and Platoon Commander Zhou led the soldiers into the night in a hurry.

The southern foot of Wusheng Mountain is Shangganling, there is a village of more than ten families in Shangganling, in the southwest of Shangganling, it is Xiaganling, there is also a village of more than ten families in Xiaganling, Cangshan is located in the Xiaganling area, much higher than the nameless highland, but the mountain is not steep, and the US military has stationed many fortifications here.

After several nights of reconnaissance by the reconnaissance platoon, the mines in the area they were going to pass through were basically figured out and cleared, and the enemy's barbed wire was cut open, leaving a place where they could pass.

After pulling out the mountain for an hour, quickly crossing the road, in a relatively dense weed, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon hid among them, and squad leader Zhou looked up at the sky after observing the enemy's movements through the binoculars.

"The moon is not very bright tonight, there are advantages and disadvantages, you must be careful when acting, do a good job of touching the row, and don't be reckless on the premise that the work is not done well."

Squad leader Zhou patiently reminded: "This is the first time we have acted separately, the goal of the action together is too big, if you catch the tongue, you will retreat immediately, it doesn't matter if you can't catch it, don't be struggling with this, if you can't do it in one night, just two nights." ”

"Yes!"

After seeing the combat teams leave, squad leader Zhou turned his head and said to Xia Yuan: "When we act, you follow me, we haven't figured out the enemy's secret outpost yet, their secret post position will change every night, and when we act later, we still need to find out clearly." ”

At this time, squad leader Zhou realized that Xia Yuan was lying motionless on the grass, observing the almost black Cangshan Mountain in the distance.

Seeing that he didn't move, Lao Niu patted Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan turned around, and the bright Tong Kong shrank, "Squad Leader Zhou, I know where the enemy's secret post is." ”

Squad Leader Zhou, Lao Niu, and another soldier who was acting were all stunned.

Lao Niu asked a little innocently and in surprise: "Xia Yuan, what are you talking about, do you know the enemy's secret sentry location?" How is this possible, we have been in the queue for a few days, and you will know if you come and take a look? ”

The other warrior's expression was also a little strange, as if he was skeptical of what Xia Yuan said.

Squad Leader Zhou also didn't believe it, "This matter can't be joked, you have to know, once our actions are exposed, what will be the consequences?" The position of the enemy's outposts fluctuates every night, and the number varies, and it is entirely a matter of the enemy's mood arrangement, and we have felt the arrangement for several nights, and we have not found out the enemy's fixed outposts to surround them, but we know that there is no law in the way the enemy's outposts are arranged. ”

He looked at the dark Cangshan Mountain, and the distance was nearly a kilometer, he looked through the binoculars, and only saw the light through the enemy's tunnels and some machine-gun bunkers, not to mention the secret posts, even the enemy's guard posts did not find much.

Xia Yuan actually said that he already knew the location of the enemy's secret outpost, and Squad Leader Zhou only felt a little stunned.

It's not just a joke.

But Xia Yuan nodded very affirmatively, "I can guarantee with my life that the enemy's secret post has been observed by me, as well as the enemy's guard post." ”

He said: "Squad Leader Zhou, if you don't believe me, you can follow what I said, the middle position between the two machine-gun pillboxes on the enemy's high ground is about ten meters down, and there is an enemy guard post there, you should be able to see it." ”

Squad Leader Zhou adjusted the binoculars and lay on the ground to observe, the enemy's two machine-gun pillboxes were on high ground, made of concrete, spaced more than 10 meters apart, and could form a cross-fire network down the mountain, and this machine gun pillbox was almost touched very thoroughly by the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon.

"Can you see the enemy's machine-gun bunkers?" Squad Leader Zhou's tone became a little stunned, even shocked, not to mention anything else, just from the fact that he saw the enemy's machine gun bunker here, he could basically conclude that this kid could really see the enemy's high ground situation.

You know, this kid is the recruit who let him enter the dynasty and fought a battle, and they don't think that the reconnaissance squad leaked the news when they touched the platoon, these actions were secret operations of the fourth platoon, and the combat mission secretly issued by the high company commander.

Only the four platoons of them knew, but they were limited to knowing that the reconnaissance squad carried out reconnaissance missions at night and went to scratch their tongues, but absolutely no one knew where the reconnaissance was and where the tongues were grabbed.

Lao Niu and another warrior, Wu Haixin, looked at Xia Yuan with a ghostly expression.
