Whether Xia Yuan has such courage or not, there is no doubt that there is, but it is only that he can't die yet, he still has to destroy the enemy as much as possible and win this victory.

The tug-of-war on the 29th was even more brutal, the almost crazy enemy launched wave after wave of attacks on Shangganling, Xia Yuan led the soldiers in the tunnel to rise up to block the enemy, after a day of fighting, although the surface position of Shangganling changed hands again, but the enemy also paid an extremely heavy price, only the first position, under the mutual statistics of the soldiers, destroyed nearly two hundred enemies, not including Xia Yuan's own killing.

A soldier who followed Xia Yuan said, "The commander of the Ninth Company has killed at least two hundred people!" ”

Some soldiers also said, "The commander of the Ninth Company not only killed 200 people, but may be more!" ”

Xia Yuan didn't calculate much, in just one day, he consumed more than 700 rounds of ammunition and more than 300 grenades by himself, of course, many times he used grenades and bullets to suppress the enemy, and sometimes he may not hit the dirt in front of the enemy. When the fight was fierce, he had already abandoned aiming and shot indiscriminately, because the enemy had pressed in front of him, and the machine gun bullets ran out, so he used a rifle to shoot, until the accuracy of the gun in his hand was not high, and the bullets fired were crooked, he changed to 50 punches.

The fifty punch does not feel good, the failure rate is too high, and there are often flying dust scattered into the bomb thrower, and the gun often does not go off.

Xia Yuan slapped the body of the gun hard, and rushed towards the enemy, the bullets flew sideways on the position, the shells bloomed on the position, and the soil in front of him could no longer be gathered, just like sand in the desert, mixed with a large amount of shrapnel.

Xia Yuan still remembers that when a recruit first arrived, he sat on the ground, holding his shoes and counting carefully, "Five... Six... Seven... Eight..."

One of the soldiers asked him what he was counting, and the recruit replied irritablely, "Count shrapnel." Fuck, I said how shoes cut my feet hurt, there are so many poor things in the sand. ”

The shrapnel in the soil, the size of a fingernail of a little finger, grab a handful of dirt, and the soil is full of this thing.

It's November, but the temperature in Shangganling is very warm, and the soil is hot.

The hard battle of the 29th was finally over.

Company Commander Dai found Xia Yuan and said: "Company Commander Xia, you came back just in time, the higher authorities issued a new battle plan, tonight our army will carry out a round of artillery fire coverage on the surface position, and a company of soldiers will enter the main tunnel, and wait until tomorrow night, we will carry out a decisive counterattack operation on Shangganling!" ”

Xia Yuanmeng reacted and asked, "What time is it today?" ”

Zhang Xiaosheng said on the side: "Today is the 29th!" ”

"Twenty-nine!"

Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly became excited, and he realized that the third phase of the Shangganling operation had begun.

Because of his own accession, the rear commander was informed in advance of the information that the US army was going to attack Shangganling on a large scale, and our army took the lead in reacting, assembling artillery shells in advance to launch the first phase of the attack on Shangganling, which was originally a general attack on the 19th, and entered the tunnel operation on the 20th, opening the second phase of Shangganling, but it arrived two days ahead of schedule, and ended the first stage on the 18th and entered the second stage.

The third phase began on the 30th and lasted until the 25th of November, when the Battle of Shangganling ended.

The third stage is the decisive counterattack and the consolidation of positions.

After more than half a month of tug-of-war, the US 7th Division and the ROK 2nd Division were exhausted, although the US 7th Division was defeated, but its name was still in Shangganling, but it changed from the main attack team to assist the ROK 2nd Division in the attack, and this counterattack was aimed at the UN Army and the South Korean Army on the 597.9 heights a week ago.

On the night of the 29th, the prelude to the battle began, and the long-range artillery fire of the Volunteer Army began to destroy the enemy's surface positions in Shangganling, and the 3rd Company of the 86th Regiment, under the cover of artillery fire, took advantage of the night to advance to the Shangganling tunnel position, so as to strengthen the strength of the troops in the tunnel and prepare to meet the outside in a decisive counterattack.

At 11 o'clock, the voice of Kuang Junyi, commander of the third company, came from the walkie-talkie, and they had already passed through the enemy's 2,000-meter fire control zone and entered the tunnel at the cost of five casualties.

At this time, the main tunnel of Shangganling No. 1, the soldiers of a platoon of Kuang Junyi's third company entered, and they entered the tunnel under the warm welcome of the soldiers in the tunnel.

Xia Yuan, Dai Wannian, Zhang Xiaosheng and other members of the No. 1 tunnel were in the tunnel to greet the soldiers who joined the tunnel, seeing Kuang Junyi with a platoon of soldiers into the tunnel, the soldiers in the tunnel warmly welcomed the arrival of the comrades of the third company.

Dai Wannian said: "Company Commander Kuang, you see that you are here, hard work, come and come, come to the pit." ”

Kuang Junyi settled down, first observed the tunnel, couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the tunnel soldiers, followed by Xia Yuan, and said: "This is Xia Yuan, the commander of the Ninth Company, I have heard your battle deeds in the rear for a long time, and I finally saw it today." ”

Kuang Junyi grabbed Xia Yuan's hand, looked at the palm wrapped in a black bandage, and felt a little distressed.

He shouted, "Hygienist, hygienist." ”

Xia Yuan squeezed his hand and said, "Company Commander Kuang, my hand is fine, leave the things to the soldiers who need them." ”

Kuang Junyi said: "How can this be done? ”

Xia Yuan comforted him, stretched out his palm, clenched his fist, released it, clenched his fist again, released it again, and said: "My hand was just burned by the barrel of the machine gun, and now there is no problem, basically much better." ”

Kuang Junyi nodded and asked the hygienist to stop.

The four of them gathered in the lounge in the tunnel, feeling the bombardment from the rear artillery overhead, Dai Wannian said with a smile: "After holding on for so long, I can finally fight a painful counterattack." ”

In order to preserve themselves and effectively destroy the enemy's living forces, the soldiers fighting in the tunnels basically attacked and harassed at night in battle groups or squads to eliminate foreign devils and stick soldiers.

He was often pressed by the enemy's heavy firepower, and although he destroyed a large number of enemies, his own casualties were not small.

Now the horn of the counteroffensive is about to be sounded, the soldiers in the tunnel are unable to sleep, the enthusiasm for fighting is very high, the wounded are preparing the weapons and ammunition to be used in the big counteroffensive, the soldiers are sitting in the tunnel, wiping the guns with the relatively clean place of the inner liner of their clothes, some of them use towels to wipe off the dust on their faces, tidying up their appearance, just like welcoming a major festival, preparing to fight a counterattack, preparing to meet victory.

Xia Yuan looked at the movements of the soldiers outside, and said with a smile: "After the start of the great counteroffensive, the difficult conditions in the tunnel are gone. ”

Three smiles spread across their faces.

The enemy's guns are the first danger for the soldiers, and the difficult conditions in the tunnels are the second danger for our soldiers.

Fight back against the enemy and improve the conditions in the tunnels.

This is the third stage!

With the discussion of the four people all night, the artillery fire stopped, the sky was bright, the smoke filled the entire mountain ridge, the cold wind blew through the mountain, with a coldness, but in the tunnel, it was so hot, when the soldiers were resting, they were still discussing how to fight tonight.

When Xia Yuan appeared in front of the soldiers, one after another eyes converged on him, including the eyes of the soldiers in the original tunnel, and the eyes of the soldiers of the three companies who followed Kuang Junyi into the tunnel, in addition to curiosity, these eyes were more worship.

Xia Yuan didn't speak, his eyes swept over the soldiers in the tunnel, and beside him, Company Commander Dai Wannian, Instructor Zhang Xiaosheng, and Company Commander Kuang Junyi stepped forward and stood beside him.

The soldiers in the tunnel stood up, even the wounded stood up with the support of their comrades-in-arms, and Comrade Wang Lan was sewing the soldiers' clothes with needle and thread.

The artillery fire covered the rear, and the deafening roar could be heard in the tunnel, which continued to make a dull sound in the tunnel, and the rumbling spread non-stop.

The soldiers stood in the tunnel, dressed in military uniforms, each covered in dirt, and their faces were also turned into flowers because they were wiped with towels, but their faces were firm, and their eyes were bright and shining, and they were full of hope.

Company Commander Dai looked at Xia Yuan and nodded at him, Xia Yuan's eyes were firm and unyielding, he was like a bright star, lighting up the path of the soldiers.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Xia Yuan, with the encouragement of the three of them, said: "Comrades, everyone must have known me very well, maybe you haven't heard of my deeds when you didn't come to Shangganling, speaking of which, I'm about the same age as you, fight, everyone has fought more than me, to be reasonable, I actually don't have any special skills, just like how you teach me to kill the enemy, I can't teach, isn't it just a sudden attack on the enemy with a gun." ”

"However, many people don't know what the war is for, some people will say that it is about weapons and equipment, and some people will say that it is about logistics materials."

"But I want to say that it is not about these, it is not whose country is strong and whose country is weak, it is not whose weapons and equipment are superb and whose weapons and equipment are backward, and it is not whose soldiers eat well and dress well, we compare our will!"

"Will! Shangganling will! From the battle of Shangganling to the present, from the fourteenth to today! In half a month, I have seen too many soldiers sacrifice by my side, and I have seen too many companies wiped out in Shangganling. Our company commander, after being hit by an enemy shell and blinding his eyes by the enemy's shell, reloaded by his senses and fought stubbornly with the enemy until the last drop of blood was drained, and the enemy was repulsed, and we saw many, many bullet casings under the company commander's body. ”

"Our platoon commander, when the enemy's legs were blown off and the left position was lost, controlled the machine gun to cover us, and finally died with the enemy!"

"The fourth platoon leader, the No. 2 position has fallen, in order to cover Comrade Zhao Fengshou's retreat, pull the last grenade and rush towards the enemy group!"

"Comrade Zhao Fengshou shouldered the task of blowing up the bunker in a later mission, he threw the blaster into the enemy's bunker, and the enemy pushed the blaster out, and he used his chest against the blaster to die with the enemy's bunker."

"Han Xianxu, after the bullets ran out, the enemy rushed to the position, and in order to block the enemy's attack, he launched a suicidal attack on the enemy with a bayonet!"

"Zhu Xinchang, the bullets are gone, there are not even stones to throw around, he opened his arms, pounced on the enemy, and scuffled with the enemy."

"Niu Xingcai, Wang Shou, when I was the squad leader, there were only two soldiers left in our squad, they held the right position of the No. 1 position, and fell on the left side, after I went to support the left position and came back, I saw that they lived and died with the position, their bodies and the enemy scuffled together, they bit the enemy's ears, their bodies were covered with blood holes, and when the bullets ran out and the stones were lost, they used their flesh and blood to form a wall to resist the enemy's attack!"

"Wang Yongmeng, a recruit who joined the company with me, I have become a hero, he often tells me that he will also be a hero in the future, the counterattack operation on the night of the seventeenth, following the commander of the seventh company to reinforce the comrades on the fourth position, attacking the enemy's zero position, in the case that the anti-tank grenade did not blow up the enemy's bunker, in the case that he no longer has any weapons, he opened his arms, pounced on the enemy's gun, and used his body to block the enemy's sight, buying a little time for the counterattack troops in the rear, The counterattacking forces rushed to position zero and recaptured the position. ”

He said, tears in his eyes.

Every familiar name rushed to the position under his leadership, and under his gaze, they died with the enemy, they.

The soldiers listened to the battle deeds of the heroes, and their hearts were touched by the battle deeds of the martyrs, and their eyes were filled with tears all of a sudden, and some soldiers could no longer cry.

He continued: "In the battle of the tunnel, the No. 11 tunnel lacked water and food, and was so thirsty that they couldn't even swallow the biscuits, and eating the biscuits was like eating a bunch of iron nails, in order to win the battle, in order to survive, they collected their urine, and only drank it when they were too thirsty, they licked the walls, lay on the ground and breathed the cold air on the ground, and in this way they quenched their thirst. ”

"I asked them if it was bitter to drink urine, and they said that it was bitter, and they said that it was not bitter, and that it was only bitter during the Red Army's Long March, and they could still eat radishes in the tunnels, but the Red Army had to eat grass roots and boil belts, and they were still happy."

Xia Yuan raised his voice with tears in his eyes and said, "Why, why do we still fight when the war is so cruel?" Why should we strive for victory when the enemy is so strong? Isn't it just to protect the home behind us? The Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China and robbed us of our cultural treasures. The little Japanese devils are coming, burning, killing, and plundering in our homeland, snatching us and stealing our food, jianyin women, all evil! ”
