Chapter 77: The end of the great counteroffensive, the position of battalion commander
The soldiers pursued more and more bravely, and soon rushed to the flank of the No. 2 position, and after quickly arranging the battle order, regardless of whether the enemy found it or not, quickly ordered the artillery to fire at the enemy on the No. 2 position, and then they continued to use the tactics of hitting the No. 8 position, but this time, under the command of Xia Yuan, they were going to come in reverse.
How the eighth position, which did not kill the enemy's commander, was lost, will soon be known to the enemy on the second position.
So, they will definitely strengthen the flanks.
As for the buttocks, it is estimated that someone will also be sent to look at it, but there will definitely not be too many soldiers watching.
This trick, when he hit the Watergate Bridge, Xia Yuan played it, the top of the south of the bridge, and the north of the bridge. Now that the enemy already knows how the fighters attacked, then do the opposite, didn't you strengthen the flanks? Then I'll push the flanks and touch your ass.
Leaving five mortars, three light machine guns, one heavy machine gun, three recoilless guns, and three bazooka on the flank, pretending to be the firepower of a sheep attack, the company commander Dai Wannian led a squad of soldiers from the No. 1 and No. 8 tunnels to launch a sheep attack on the flank, Xia Yuan, Kuang Junyi, and Zhang Xiaosheng each led a squad and the soldiers of the two squads in the No. 8 pit and their convergence under the leadership of Xia Yuan, touched the bottom of the mountain, and with the help of the cover of night, launched an attack from the enemy's butt to the enemy on the mountain.
The commander of position No. 8 reported the situation of position No. 8 to the commander of position No. 2 for more than a moment, and then, at the suggestion of the commander of position No. 8, strengthened the defense of the flanks and buttocks, of course, the center of gravity of defense was still the flanks.
Sure enough, the battle on the flanks began, the firepower of the volunteers was extremely fierce, the machine gunners carefully followed the teachings of Commander Xia, don't save bullets, whether they hit the enemy or not, just fight, the main thing is to attract the attention of the enemy's flanks, recoilless gunners, artillerymen, and Bazooka also remember the advice of Commander Xia, cannonballs do not need to be saved, the battle is won, how much do we want this cannon, how many are there, no enemy will make it for us.
After the remnants of the No. 8 position and the enemy of the No. 2 position converged, they quickly strengthened the flank, and the commander of the No. 8 position looked at the flares lit up on the flank, and a smile appeared on his face: "The Chinese soldiers' offensive methods have been figured out by us. ”
The commander of position No. 2 nodded with a smile: "Yes, thanks to you, otherwise with this level of fire attack by Chinese soldiers, the flanks would not have been able to defend for long at all." ”
The commander of the No. 2 position listened to the guns of the flank volunteers, and his heart was more than a season, and it was really thanks to the remnants of the No. 8 position, they not only supplemented the soldiers of the No. 2 position, but also brought their own experience of failure, so that he could react quickly and strengthen the flank defense.
As everyone knows, behind their buttocks, a reinforced platoon of troops quickly assembled and scattered on the enemy's anticline in a scattered state, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
After a brief observation, Xia Yuan showed a smile on his face, and ordered the artillery to adjust the artillery fire, aim at the fire point on the enemy's buttocks, and prepare to load ammunition, and at the same time order each squad to prepare to attack.
"Fire!"
Under his order, more than 20 mortars made a hiss, Dong Dong Dong, the crisp sound of the barrel trembling was so good, the shells bloomed in the enemy's buttocks, after two consecutive volleys, the soldiers quickly launched a fierce attack on the enemy's buttocks, heavy fire was vented, bullets were fired, and the troops guarding behind the enemy's buttocks were only thirty enemies in a platoon, and the two rounds of artillery fire salvo killed and wounded countless people.
A round of heavy machine gun fire, Xia sniped at close range.
The attack lasted only one minute, and a platoon lost a third of its troops.
The two commanders who were wandering in the middle of the road were stunned when they heard the fierce artillery fire of the volunteers, and then they saw the platoon commander of the E platoon stationed in the rear rushing in with a disgraced face and shouting in horror.
In their rear, large forces of the enemy were found!
Great troops!
When the commander of position No. 2 heard this, his eyes turned black.
The commander of position No. 8 reacted quickly and immediately shouted: "Quick, order the troops to quickly support the rear line of defense!" ”
It was a defensive line they had built on the anticline, but it was very fragile, because the troops attacking them were led by Xia Yuan, who was known as the 'legendary recruit' and the 'God of War in Shangganling', and his attack was extremely fast, like a cobra attacking with lightning speed, like a sharp knife piercing the enemy's fragile defense line.
A platoon on the defensive line that was destroyed by artillery fire, without waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, was scattered by the volunteers led by Xia Yuan, and the rear troops quickly relied on the enemy's defense line built on the anti-slope plane, quickly built artillery positions, heavy machine gun fire points, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy on the mountain.
A stick soldier fired a flare into the sky, and in an instant, the entire rear position was exposed to the enemy's field of vision, however, these stick soldiers who rushed up were startled, and the mountains were full of enemies, and there were enemy figures everywhere, they were scattered on the position, on the pile of rocks, and they were rushing towards the position, like a tide.
The stickmen quickly formed fire points and covered the ground, but the shells destroyed their delusions.
The forward position encountered the ferocious attack of the volunteers in the No. 2 tunnel, and the flanks also encountered the fierce attack of the volunteers, although the two defense lines were temporarily defended, but they were only barely enough, they experienced two rounds of artillery bombardment of the rear artillery positions of the volunteers, and there were heavy casualties, and there were not many soldiers who could be mobilized, if it were not for the rout of the No. 8 position to join, I am afraid they would have been lost now.
It was in this situation that a large force of the Volunteer Army appeared in their rear, and the offensive was extremely fierce, like a fierce beast, tearing them apart in the fragile direction of the rear, the more fierce the offensive of the Volunteer Army, the more low the morale of the stick soldiers.
Soon, under the leadership of Xia Yuan, this group of volunteers like jackals, tigers and leopards tore apart the enemy's defense line and successfully broke through into the enemy's position.
"Destroy all enemies that come your way!"
Xia Yuan shouted, holding a light machine gun, as if possessed by a killing god, night vision turned on, and those enemies who were hiding in the trenches and trying to sneak up on them in the dark were quickly lying on the ground under the strafing of a shuttle of bullets, and they didn't understand until they died, lying on the ground in the dark, how the Chinese soldier who was controlling a heavy machine gun found them.
They did not understand until they died, and they met God with this doubt.
Unfortunately, God was not on their side, perhaps moved by the will of the volunteers, or frightened by the spirit of the volunteers who were not afraid of death, the miracle of God never happened on the Korean battlefield, and this was a cruel war.
In this war, human life is the least valuable.
Xia Yuan shouted and shouted, constantly ordering the various battle groups to attack in that direction, he was like a soldier who had opened God's perspective, as far as he could see, he found the enemy's soldiers, first bullet strafing, then grenade bombing, and then ordered the battle team to lean over.
It was under this command that the casualties of the soldiers were greatly reduced.
The soldiers also found that Xia Yuan was strong, and the battle groups were scattered around Xia Yuan in a fan shape, Xia Yuan's orders were passed on by their mouths, they shouted at the position with their throats, and they would use it if they couldn't hear it, because it was dark night, even if there was a flickering artillery fire around, it was easy for malnourished soldiers to misinterpret the gestures.
After the rear troops broke through the enemy's defensive line, in the face of pressure from the rear, the defensive line built by the stick men on the flanks and the front began to loosen and slowly rout.
The first to rout is the frontal defense line, because the flanks have strong heavy firepower, and do not need the support of Xia Yuan and others, and the frontal defense line Volunteer soldiers have less heavy firepower, facing the enemy's heavy firepower suppression, the pressure is huge, in this case, Xia Yuan led people to quickly break through the enemy's central position, to the frontal battlefield, the frontal enemy on the back of the enemy quickly encountered the front and rear of the volunteers, and quickly collapsed, Xia Yuan led the volunteer soldiers quickly converged with the soldiers in the No. 2 tunnel.
At this point, the situation in Position 2 changed rapidly.
The flanks were quickly routed under the attack of nearly a company's troops.
In four and a half hours, the No. 1, No. 8, and No. 2 positions were successfully recaptured by the volunteer soldiers, and just as they were preparing to attack the No. 11 position, the signal to occupy the position was lit on the No. 11 position.
Xia Yuan and the others stopped, a smile on their dark faces.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, all the surface positions in Shangganling were regained, and the assault troops of the 86th Regiment occupied all the positions on the 597.9 heights, and quickly ordered the soldiers on each position to rush to repair the fortifications overnight.
Xia Yuan learned the enemy's method of building bunkers, and led the soldiers to use sandbags and wooden planks left on the position to dig pits and fill soil, build fortifications, build bunkers, and connect trenches and communication trenches into pieces.
】
When it was almost dawn, a prisoner was sent from the forward position, this guy seemed to be stunned by the power of the artillery fire of the volunteers, and when the interpreter asked him, he only trembled like chaff all over his body, and screamed like a delirious nerve: "It's over! I can't run away! The U.S. military and Syngman Rhee are finished! ”
No valuable information was ever asked from this dejected, somewhat deranged captive. It turned out that he was a strong man who had just been captured from Pusan, a recruit to replenish the Second Division of the South Korean Army, and except for the squad he knew he was in, he couldn't even remember the numbers of their platoon and their companies, and from the few words he shouted, it made people feel that he knew their fate better than the American army and Syngman Rhee.
The sky shimmered, and soon the sun shone through the layers of smoke.
The warriors had long been prepared for today's fierce attack of the enemy, and they had prepared all the weapons and men in the tunnels, but on the second day, because the ground reserves had suffered a heavy blow, the enemy was unable to launch a major counterattack, and the fists they had worked so hard to prepare to hit people were crushed.
All the surface positions in Shangganling are still firmly in the hands of our army.
On 2 November, in the various tasks of reversing the tunnels in a staged counterattack operation, Xia Yuan led a squad of soldiers to continuously block the enemy who rushed up in front of the position.
On November 4, one day, the enemy organized three assaults, and the scale of the attack was only one reinforced company, and as soon as the machine guns on the devil's position rang out, the enemy ran away.
Xia Yuan took the soldiers back to the tunnel and told Dai Wannian about today's position defense, but when he came in, he found a fresh face in the tunnel, Xia Yuan asked: "This is..."
Everyone got up, and Dai Wannian introduced Xia Yuan: "This is the battalion chief of staff of the 135th Regiment, Wang Zaibang. ”
Xia Yuan was a little surprised and saluted with a gun.
Wang Zaibang held Xia Yuan's palm and sighed: "I have long heard of the name of Shangganling God of War, a legendary recruit, and I finally saw it today. ”
Xia Yuan said: "Battalion Chief of Staff, please speak." ”
Wang Zaibang took out a document from his arms, "This is an appointment document, the appointment document of the commander of the 135th Battalion of the 4th Regiment. ”
Xia Yuan's eyes froze, looking at the documents in Wang Zaibang's hand, his brain was buzzing, which was even more shocking than being blown up by a cannonball.
Wang Zaibang continued: "As you can see, after the decision of the superiors, the 135th Regiment was expanded into a reinforced regiment, and there are currently no good candidates for the extra four battalions. ”
Xia Yuan said a little silently: "The battalion chief of staff... This... I've just served as the commander of the Ninth Company, and I don't even have a month to take ... How..."
Wang Zaibang comforted him and said: "In the counterattack operation on the night of the 30th, you used your excellent command ability to successfully capture the No. 1, No. 8, and No. 2 positions with minimal casualties, annihilated a battalion of the South Korean Army, and created a battle in which the largest number of enemies were eliminated in the Shangganling counterattack operation. ”
He said: "This one thing alone is enough to show your command ability." What's more, when you first joined the company, you attacked the unnamed heights, and with your support, you successfully broke through the enemy's firepower bunker blockade and took down the South Korean army on the nameless heights. In Cangshan, Xiaganling, you led a squad of soldiers to annihilate a company of the U.S. Army, creating a model of night raid warfare in history, and it was completed with minor injuries to two soldiers, capturing a large number of weapons and equipment, and at the same time you led the soldiers to dig a well to solve the problem of water shortage in the No. 1 tunnel, laying the foundation for the victory of the subsequent tunnel operation in the No. 1 tunnel. ”
"As for your performance on Shangganling, although the leaders did not see it with their own eyes, the results of each day's combat were reported to the regiment one by one, and the regiment was handed over to the division headquarters, and the division headquarters was handed over to the military headquarters, and the commander of the Ninth Company Qin praised you as a 'well-deserved Shangganling God of War'"
"The position of battalion commander is already burying your combat exploits."
"When the battle of Shangganling is over, the regiment commander will not be able to escape."
