This information is a major intelligence acquisition, although it cannot change the situation of the battle, but it is very advantageous to be able to make a response strategy in advance, so as to reduce the living environment in the tunnel.

Officially, because the early discovery was too late, the soldiers in the Shangganling area suffered heavy casualties, and the conditions in the tunnel became extremely difficult, and many soldiers were only slightly injured, but in the absence of medicine, they were forced to change from minor injuries to serious injuries.

The regiment commander and the political commissar have already realized the seriousness of this problem, if it is really as Xia Yuan said, the enemy's target is Shangganling, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

Because the focus of the enemy's recent movements is on the West Mountain, and there are already signs of attack, the 15th Army's focus on defense is in the West Mountain, and there are only their 45th divisions in front of the Wusheng Mountain.

After hearing this information, the regiment commander and the political commissar sank, and the regiment commander said: "This is not good news, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Let's go first and look at the seized supplies. ”

"Hey."

Most of the materials were hoarded in the No. 7 position, and the number of materials captured in this battle was more than the total amount of other battles, and the main reason was that the enemy was bombing the camp this time, and there was not much consumption of materials, on the other hand, other raid battles, although it was a surprise attack, but the war was still carried out all night, and the enemy consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition, and the final captured weapons and ammunition were not much.

When the regiment commander and political commissar saw this batch of materials, the haze in their hearts was much less, and the regiment commander said: "Is there a list of this batch of materials?" ”

Instructor Lin took the list of materials and nodded: "Yes, in addition to these materials that can be counted, there are also a batch of special materials, which are also the most lacking in our army at present, medicine and materials. ”

"There are many types of medicines for the enemy, and many of them have special functions."

This includes special drugs such as morphine and epinephrine, and there are quite a few of them.

The regiment commander said: "The drugs of the US military are relatively special, many drugs have good effects, but they are addictive, and such special items still need to be carefully counted." ”

Instructor Lin nodded: "Yes!" The types of medicines in this company of the enemy are beyond imagination, and the distribution of materials by foreign devils to each company is several times that of our army, and the amount of weapons and ammunition they have is amazing, and the same is true for daily necessities. ”

Instructor Lin handed the list of supplies to the regiment commander, who just glanced at it and gasped, "So many supplies!" The enemy is basically not consumed! Was the record of the course of the battle written? ”

Instructor Lin nodded: "It has been written, after coming back early this morning, we have sorted out the battle records, which are narrated by six comrades who acted together, the whole process is thrilling, and the recorded data is also very accurate. ”

The regiment commander only glanced at it, and knew the value of this combat data, and nodded: "Good job, you have made a great contribution this time!" Not only did they obtain important information, but they also annihilated and captured a company of the enemy at a very small cost, and captured so much materiel, creating a battle in which our army had captured the largest amount of materials in a small-scale war of annihilation. ”

The regiment commander immediately arranged: "You dug the No. 1 tunnel very well, the materials captured last night, except for the artillery shells sent to the regiment headquarters, the other materials are stored in the No. 1 tunnel, if the enemy's focus is really Wusheng Mountain, you will be able to use this batch of materials." ”

"We will not delay here, the accuracy of the information must be determined, and this matter must not be spread in the company to ensure the confidentiality of the information."

When the regiment commander and political commissar left, they explained: "You have people distribute the materials to the company of the 537.7 heights, and they also need these materials." ”

When the regiment commander and political commissar left, they drove away trucks and jeeps, took away prisoners, battle records and a part of the meat, which will be distributed to other companies of the 235th Regiment, after all, many companies have not opened meat for a long time, and the appearance of this batch of materials can allow the soldiers to eat such a hearty meal.

As for the shells, because of the large number, they will definitely not be able to be sent today, and they can only wait until this evening to send the shells to the regiment headquarters.

In the evening of the same day, Company Commander Gao arranged for someone to send part of the supplies to the 537.9 heights, and all kinds of heavy firepower equipment were sent to the regiment headquarters.

On the 537.7 heights, the commander of a company stationed on the high ground was very surprised to see the weapons, ammunition and some canned food sent by the ninth company, and learned that a reconnaissance squad of the ninth company had annihilated and captured a company of the US army at the cost of slightly injuring two people.

Such a result shocked all the officers and men of the first company.

Not long after, the commendations of the whole regiment were first distributed to each company, and the main reason was to commend the reconnaissance squad of the Ninth Company for annihilating the US troops of a company in Cangshan in Xiaganling and for capturing a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

"On October 8, 13 brave men of the reconnaissance squad of the 9th Company of our 235th Regiment annihilated the enemy's company in Cangshan Mountain, Xiaganling, at the cost of slightly injuring two soldiers, and seized a large number of weapons, ammunition, and daily necessities.

"Special commendation for Comrade Xia Yuan, a recruit who joined the company! In the second battle, he led five warriors to penetrate the enemy's position, disrupt the enemy's barracks, and cause the enemy to be killed, which is a glorious example of bombing the camp! It is the first case of our army to annihilate a company of the enemy with a squad unit! Comrade Xia Yuan has made great contributions! ”

“... I hope that all the commanders and fighters of our army will give full play to themselves, make great contributions, be heroes, and live a glorious life! ”

After receiving the things handed over by the commander of the 235th Division, the commander of the 45th Division excitedly said in the division command: "What a reconnaissance squad of the Ninth Company!" What a summer away! Hahahaha! Thirteen people, with minor wounds on two fighters, annihilated and captured a company of the enemy! A large number of weapons and ammunition were captured! And seize important information! Good! Good! Good! ”

The commander of the 45th Division said hello three times, and he immediately called the chief of staff of the division, "Old Feng, this recruit of the Ninth Company is unheard of, the whole division commends this hero, and when the war is over, the combat hero and the combat squad will have nothing to run." ”

The chief of staff of the division smiled and said: "No, a recruit is so brave that he deserves to be commended by the whole division!" Even report to the military department! ”

The commander of the 45th Division nodded: "That's exactly what I mean!" ”

After receiving the materials submitted by the commander of the 45th Division, the commander of the 15th Army Qin was equally happy, "This time, the Ninth Company has opened a glorious example for our army of a small-scale annihilation battle in which a minority defeats a majority and a disadvantage defeats an advantage, which is unprecedented in the history of our army, and it is groundbreaking!" ”

Immediately after, the whole division was commended, and the whole army was commended!

One squad annihilated a company of the American army, only slightly wounded two fighters, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition, including bazooka, recoilless guns, mortars, etc., as well as a large number of shells!

Most crucially, the tongues they captured provided an important piece of information for the volunteers.

There is a good chance that the enemy's target is the Five Holy Mountains! And the actions of the enemy in the Western Mountains and on the coast of the Eastern Front are likely to attract the attention of our troops!

There are dark clouds above, but there is a high fighting spirit below!

The commendation order of the military headquarters reached all divisions and regiments, and this night attack battle has almost become a glorious and exemplary example of our army!

Let all the commanders and fighters of the 15 be impressed by this recruit who has only been fighting in Korea for half a month.

Make great contributions and be heroes!

The soldiers of the Volunteer Army are honored by this, this whole army commendation, at the meeting of each company, was read to all the commanders and fighters by the instructors of each company again and again, for a time, the soldiers were high-spirited, vowing to go to the battlefield, make great contributions, and be heroes!

In just two days, the military department's personal commendation order was issued on the 597.9 heights, and the senior company commander excitedly summoned the whole company and asked the instructor to read this personal commendation order to the soldiers.

At the same time as the personal commendation order was issued, our army was also secretly rounding around the troops to strengthen the defense of Wusheng Mountain, and at the same time sending a large number of materials to reinforce the 597.9 and 537.7 heights.

On the evening of the day when the personal commendation order was read, the senior company commander called the platoon commanders to hold a three-hour combat meeting in the tunnel.

And constantly send scouts to reconnoiter the recent movements of the US military!

Xia Yuan still stayed in the reconnaissance squad, and during this time, he followed Lao Zhou and them out to carry out reconnaissance missions, and the results of each reconnaissance were different, and every time, there would be new changes in the rear of the US army, and each time the reconnaissance intelligence made the company commander Gao and others frightened.

October 12, fine.

The weather over Shangganling is extremely clear and sunny.

But for the soldiers in the tunnel, it is like a black cloud shrouded over them, Gao Company Commander and Instructor Lin have not slept much for two days, they have been studying, the military headquarters came back with news, the intelligence of the enemy's attack on Shangganling is very likely to be true, the 15th Army has transferred a division from the West Mountain to reinforce the 45th Division, but because the Shangganling area is relatively narrow, the enemy's firepower is extremely fierce, and sending a large number of troops in Shangganling will only increase casualties.

The division ordered the 15th Army: "Wusheng Mountain is the gateway to the middle line of North Korea, if we lose Wusheng Mountain, we will retreat 200 kilometers without danger to defend, and whoever loses Wusheng Mountain will be responsible for history!" ”

The military headquarters urgently telegraphed to the headquarters of the 45th Division of the Wushengshan Garrison!

Only eight words!

"Don't give up an inch of land! Every inch of land counts! ”

After seeing the order of his superiors, the commander of the 45th Division realized that this was to let the 45th Division defend the Five Holy Mountains!

In the two-day study, the commander of the 45th Division pointed out: "The 597.9 and 537.7 heights of Shangganling are less than 3.4 square kilometers, and sending a large number of troops on this limited land will only increase the casualties of our army. ”

"Order the Ninth Company stationed on the 597.9 Heights and the First Company on the 237.7 Heights to hold their positions! Even if it's light! You can't take half a step back! ”

"Don't give up an inch of land! Every inch of land counts! ”

After receiving the news, the commander of the 235th regiment sank in his heart.

Sticking to Shangganling, what does it mean, no one knows better than him in his heart.

The political commissar said: "Yesterday, Gao Xiangyong from the 597.9 heights sent someone over to say that the number of our telephone detour lines is too small, and once the war starts, the enemy's firepower will block the rear, and our afterglow line is likely to be blown up by the enemy's heavy firepower!" ”

At this time, it was already the second stage, and although the five battles in the first stage were fought fiercely and at great cost, they also hurt the enemy, and at this stage, our army had a full understanding of the firepower of the US troops, and dug artillery tunnels in various highlands, telephone wire racks, and many detour lines.

"Didn't we set up one main line, two circuitous lines?" The head of the regiment asked.

"Company Commander Gao said that the enemy's firepower is fierce, and it is very likely that it will blow up the detour line, and our detour line is not far apart, so as to prevent the enemy from thinking that it will be destroyed, what if it is a fire blockade?"

The political commissar continued: "The fire blockade of the US army is particularly fierce, and the previous five battles have confirmed that if the enemy wants to take Shangganling, it is bound to block all the roads to reinforce Wusheng Mountain, and the detour line will also suffer, and the company commander Gao said, in order to prevent accidents, on the outermost side of the two detour lines, add two more detour lines to prevent the enemy's artillery bombardment from blocking the important passage of our army to Shangganling and blowing up the detour line. ”

The regiment commander seriously considered, "Gao Xiangyong's consideration is more comprehensive, then let the communications squad pull two more detours from Shangganling to the regiment headquarters." ”

"Good!"

"What else do they ask for... Forget it, I'll call and ask myself! ”

In the No. 1 tunnel in Shangganling, Comrade Wang Yongmeng received a call from the regiment commander and shouted, "Company commander, regiment commander's call." ”

The senior company commander who was in a meeting got up: "Hey." ”

The head of the regiment asked directly: "Gao Xiangyong, do you have any other needs?" ”

Company Commander Gao thought seriously and said: "Regiment Commander, there is no one at present, we have a large number of weapons and ammunition in the tunnel, which should be enough to deal with the enemy's attack!" ”

The head of the regiment nodded: "Okay!" In addition, I have one more thing to tell you, it is a new combat order issued by the superiors! ”

Company Commander Gao asked, "Regiment commander, are there reinforcements?" ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and the voice of the regiment commander came: "There are no reinforcements!" The superiors asked the 235th Regiment to defend Shangganling! Even if it's the last person! We also have to defend Shangganling! Shangganling is the gate of the Five Holy Mountains! Wusheng Mountain is the gate of the entire defense line of our army! Losing Shangganling is equivalent to losing the Five Holy Mountains! You know what it means, the gates are breached by the enemy, and we all have to retreat! ”

The regiment commander said in a calm voice: "According to the latest information, what you will face is the strength of the US Seventh Division, the strength of the South Korean Second Division, seven battalions, sixteen artillery battalions, aircraft, and tanks!" The area of Shangganling is less than 3.4 square kilometers! Send a large number of troops to garrison Shangganling, once you encounter an artillery attack by the US army, you know the consequences! Gao Xiangyong, this defensive task is extremely difficult, and we are all ready! Nine companies and one company are the first companies! The follow-up company is ready for reinforcements! ”

"The U.S. military wants to take Shangganling and increase its bargaining chips at the negotiating table, and our task is to make the enemy's idea come true!"

"Hold on! It's victory! ”

Company Commander Gao's face was solemn, and he shouted loudly: "Perseverance is victory!" All the commanders and fighters of my Ninth Company swear to live and die with the position!

As long as I have one more person in the ninth company! The position is there! ”
