Chapter 78: 537.7 Tunnel No. 8 in the North Mountain of the Highlands

Xia Yuan opened his mouth, a little stunned, he didn't expect his growth path to be so fast, since the outbreak of the Shangganling Campaign, he became a squad leader from a recruit, and then after all the commanders and fighters of the Ninth Company basically died, he became the commander of the Ninth Company, although he was only a bare-pole company commander, but any troops who entered the tunnel were willing to put the troops under his command.

They were relieved that they would take their warriors into battle to kill the enemy.

I thought that the commander of the ninth company was already my end, but I didn't expect that I would become a battalion commander, and even after the battle of Shangganling, I would have the opportunity to become the regiment commander, which felt a little incredible when I thought about it.

Dai Wannian said with a smile: "Comrade Xia Yuan, we will change our words in the future, and we will call you Camp Commander Xia." ”

Kuang Junyi laughed: "This battalion commander position belongs to you, if you don't do it, who will do it." ”

Kuang Junyi has seen Xia Yuan's combat effectiveness and command ability, only a counterattack battle in the thirty nights, he was impressed by Xia Yuan, this is a company commander who can be civil and martial, far much stronger than them, the most important thing is that he is proficient in everything, not only proficient in light and heavy machine guns, but also very accurate in shooting and bombing, a proper all-round soldier.

Such a capable warrior will grow up very quickly after experiencing the baptism of war.

Xia Yuan joined the Ninth Company at the end of September, and in just one month, he became a combat hero on Shangganling, not only with his life, but also his talent and combat effectiveness.

Zhang Xiaosheng was also very happy, from the moment he entered Shangganling, after every battle on Shangganling, he learned about Xia Yuan's battle deeds from the soldiers who came down, relying on Xia Yuan alone, withstood the enemy's rounds of attack after round, sometimes the defenders on the surface position only had one squad, and sometimes it was even more difficult, and the surface position was only Xia Yuan led by a combat group composed of two soldiers to hold on.

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Relying on the tenacious fighting spirit of the soldiers, they withstood wave after wave of enemy attacks, and several times they were surrounded by enemy troops, Xia Yuan relied on heavy machine gun fire to suppress and tear apart the enemy's combined siege offensive. Every time I fight, I almost walk back and forth on the ghost door, and I don't know when I was caught by the ghost in the door.

Under their persuasion, Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and reached out to take the appointment document.

The process of serving is also very simple, the conditions in the tunnel are limited, there are not so many things, the soldiers used tea instead of wine, and congratulated Xia Yuan on becoming the company commander, just like that, in the No. 1 tunnel, Xia Yuan gradually served as the commander of the 4th battalion of the 135th regiment from an ordinary volunteer soldier.

After his tenure ended, Wang Zaibang said: "In the future, I will change my name to the summer camp chief." ”

Xia Yuan smiled, suddenly remembered again, and asked, "Battalion Chief of Staff, didn't you say that there is still an order from your superiors?" ”

Wang Zaibang said: "That's the case, at present, the counterattack operation on the 597.9 heights in Shangganling is basically coming to an end, and the superiors asked me if you have any ideas for reinforcing the 537.7 heights, and the superiors said that this task is not mandatory, and after the 597.9 highland counterattack operation is over, it should be the turn of the counterattack operations on the 537.7 heights." ”

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Chief of Staff of the battalion, I'll go to the 537.7 heights." ”

In fact, even if his superiors don't say it, after the battle on the 597.9 heights is coming to an end, he will still choose to go to the 537.7 heights, which has something to do with the system's mission.

Wang Zaibang smiled and said, "Okay! Your mission is to enter the No. 8 Tunnel of the 537.7 Heights, and the troops guarding this tunnel are all fighters from various companies who have gathered together sporadically after losing contact with their own units during several counterattack operations. Due to the complexity of the units and the absence of a unified military commander, the order of the battle was very chaotic, and the walkie-talkie crew in the tunnel contacted the regimental command post and asked that a cadre be quickly sent to receive them, unify the organization, and direct the battle. ”

He said: "The superiors thought of fighting in Shangganling, you who have rich tunnel operations and positional operations, as well as counterattack combat capabilities, let you go to the No. 8 pit and command the soldiers in the No. 8 pit to continue fighting." ”

Xia Yuan groaned: "When to leave?" ”

Wang Zaibang said: "Let's go now!" ”

Xia Yuan nodded, didn't say anything more, and turned around to pack up his weapons and ammunition.

The soldiers in the tunnel surrounded Xia Yuan when they learned that Xia Yuan was about to go to the North Mountain of the 537.7 Heights, that is, the Sniper Ridge in the mouth of the enemy, and looked at Xia Yuan fixedly, the combat hero in front of them was leaving, they were very reluctant in their hearts, but they also knew that Xia Yuan had a task on his body, and he was going to support the comrades on the North Mountain of the 537.7 Heights, even if they were reluctant in their hearts, they could only look at Xia Yuan.

After Xia Yuan packed up the bullets and grenades, he turned around and saw the soldiers gathered in the tunnel, with dark faces and bright eyes looking at him fixedly.

He smiled and said, "Comrades, we are not going to die, we are going to fight a big victory!" ”

The soldiers took the initiative to separate a road so that Xia Yuan could pass, and Comrade Wang Lan stood in the crowd, and she shouted: "Camp Commander Xia, you must come back alive." ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "Don't worry, I will beat the enemy away and come back alive!" ”

He looked at the lesbian in front of him and admired her from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Lan took care of the wounded in the No. 1 tunnel and fed the wounded. Late one night, a soldier was brought down from the position with a wounded abdomen and an intestine blown out. The area of his injury was peculiar, and it was unusually difficult to urinate. Wang Lan tried her best to catheter him in front of the bed, but the soldier was unwilling to untie his pants in front of the female hygienist.

"You're not even afraid of death, so what are you afraid of?"

Under Wang Lan's strong request, the soldier obeyed the arrangement, and Wang Lan first inserted a urinary catheter into the soldier, but the soldier still couldn't urinate after a lot of effort.

Wang Lan thought of the method of inserting a urinary catheter into the wounded in the front-line ambulance station, and then sucking the catheter with his mouth to help urination. This, combined with the pain of the warrior's wound and a swollen bladder, made beads of sweat run on the warrior's head. In order to alleviate the suffering of the wounded, she didn't care so much, so she used her mouth to help the warrior suck the urine out.

Urination was finally successful.

After urinating, the soldier burst into tears and thanked Wang Lan vigorously.

During the difficult tunnel operation, in addition to taking care of and caring for the wounded and sick, whenever she had free time, Wang Lan sang and taught songs to the wounded and sick to delight their mood. At that time, the most sung songs were such as "Nanniwan" and "Turning Over and Saying Love", which was a kind of spiritual comfort for the wounded and the soldiers in the tunnel, giving them the confidence to persist with the enemy.

If Xia Yuan is the encouragement of the soldiers' will to fight, then Comrade Wang Lan is the spiritual and spiritual encouragement of the soldiers.

This is an example for all women in the future era.

Xia Yuan left, and under the reluctant gaze of the soldiers, he left the No. 1 pit with only one soldier.

The little soldier's name is Hu Changdao, a recruit egg, who came up with the battalion chief of staff, as Xia Yuan's guard, he followed Xia Yuan's side, with a proud and proud face, being able to become the guard of the summer battalion commander is the happiest and happiest thing for him.

Hu Changdao asked happily: "Battalion commander, how are you going to solve the problem in that tunnel?" ”

Xia Yuan carried the gun on his back and shook his head: "I don't know yet, we have to take a look first, understand the situation in the tunnel, and then decide how to take measures." ”

Xia Yuan looked at the little soldier beside him, who looked to be in his early twenties, and he asked with a smile, "Where are you from?" ”

Hu Changdao said: "Battalion commander, I am from Jintang County, SC Province. ”

Xia Yuanyou sighed and said, "I'm also from Sichuan." ”

This is the identity arranged for him by the system, a child of a hunter family in the mountains of Sichuan.

Hu Changdao's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and the chatter box between the two of them, who were both from Sichuan, opened at once, and the Sichuan dialect given to him by the system and his own background allowed him to chat with Hu Changdao calmly.

Soon, after passing through the enemy's fire blockade, they found the No. 8 position on the front of Shangganling, and successfully found the No. 8 tunnel, where the enemy's machine guns were still roaring, and the tunnel was a mess.

Xia Yuan made a silent gesture to Hu Changdao, Hu Changdao nodded, and the two entered the pit one after the other.

After entering the tunnel, Xia Yuan did not alarm everyone, he and Hu Changdao stood by the mouth of the tunnel, observing the soldiers in the tunnel. In the narrow tunnel, the air was muddy and full of all kinds of smells, some people were sitting on the ground with guns in their hands, and some were half-lying and half-lying. From the depths of the dark tunnel, from time to time there was a suppressed moan of the seriously wounded, mixed with some shouts like a quarrel, the whole tunnel seemed chaotic, the air was chaotic and heavy, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

"Let's go! Let's go out and fight back. These guys are cowards! ”

Suddenly, a thick and strong machine gunner beckoned to the soldier with a submachine gun beside him, as if he was going to rush out of the tunnel and fight the enemy desperately.

"Who's the coward?"

His words undoubtedly angered the other warriors in the tunnel, and a short warrior stood up angrily and asked.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the tunnel was tense, Hu Changdao touched Xia Yuan in a low voice and asked, "Battalion commander, don't we go over to stop it?" ”

Xia Yuan reassured him: "No, take a look first." ”

In the middle of the quarrel between the two, another soldier stood up to mediate: "Don't quarrel, we are all here to destroy the enemy and hold the position, if you have different opinions, you can discuss it." ”

The soldier beside him also said: "Calm down, comrades, we are all the loveliest people, but how can you be regarded as the loveliest people when you are now." ”

The two sat in their respective seats, the machine gunner sulking, and the short warrior unhappy.

Another soldier couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the tunnel and shouted, "Who is going out with me?" ”

A voice sounded: "Calm down, this is a war, can't anyone go out with you to solve it, didn't you hear that the enemy's machine gun bunker above your head is still shooting?" ”

......

Xia Yuan stood aside and stopped for a full five minutes, and he slowly figured out that these soldiers who had lost contact with their company in the counterattack had not been in the tunnel for a long time, and they were not familiar with each other, plus they had suffered losses on the position, with impatience and complaining. In particular, on the question of how to fight the enemy, disagreements arose, all from the regiments and companies, and in the absence of a commander, no one obeyed the other. Obviously, these fighters who are full of fighting passion, they need organization, they need command, and to a certain extent, they are even more urgent than they need water to drink biscuits.

"Alright, let's get over there."

Xia Yuan basically figured out the situation in the tunnel, whispered to Hu Changdao, took him into the tunnel, stopped in a moderate position, and then shouted loudly: "Hello comrades!" Chiefs, let me greet you on my behalf. ”

Xia Yuan's words, the people inside obviously hadn't heard clearly, some people were still clamoring, and after being stopped by the people outside, they gradually quieted down.

Xia Yuan had a smile on his face and continued: "I am Xia Yuan, the commander of the 4th Battalion of the 135th Regiment, and I am ordered by the chief to command your ......."

As soon as he heard that it was the battalion commander, the discussion suddenly boiled like freshly boiled water, and a young soldier who approached Xia Yuansheng leaned over and looked at Xia Yuansheng, and said in an excited and somewhat suspicious tone: "Battalion commander? Are you really a battalion commander? ”

Xia Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed Hu Changdao, who wanted to refute.

A wounded man asked: "135 battalion of the 4th regiment?" Why haven't I heard of it? Which battalion is this? ”

Another wounded man said, "It doesn't matter which battalion he belongs to!" It's a volunteer army! ”

One of the fighters with a submachine gun in his hand said to the soldier with a strong machine gun in his arms: "Hey, why does this name sound so familiar?" ”

In the noisy crowd, suddenly another person tried to raise his voice, so that his voice became hoarse:

"This time, we have to organize ourselves and fight the enemy!"

It seems that these words are deliberately said to the people around him, and at the same time, they are also said to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan immediately followed the words of the soldier just now and said, "Comrades! Someone just proposed that we should organize. Right! There is strength in organizing. Although we came together from different units, we all have the same heart, that is, to destroy the enemy and defend our motherland! ”

Immediately, a cry of heat sounded in the tunnel:

"Get organized!"

"Yes, organize, destroy the enemy, and defend our Motherland!"

At this time, a loud soldier suddenly stood up in the cheering crowd, looked at Xia Yuan in surprise, and shouted: "Legendary recruit, you are the battle hero of Shangganling, legendary recruit, Xia Yuan!"

The soldiers in the pit were stunned for a moment, and then a wave swept through the pit and they all stood up, their eyes becoming extremely bright for a moment.

"The god of war on the No. 1 position!"

"Legendary Recruit!"

"Battle Hero!"

Even the wounded had to prop up their waists from the ground and shout: "Let me see, let me see." ”

The soldiers looked at Xia Yuan excitedly, when they did not go to Shangganling, the company commander and instructor of their company told them every day about the combat hero on the No. 1 position in Shangganling, since the outbreak of the Shangganling Battle, he became a combat hero, and after the battle broke out, he became the 'Shangganling God of War' in the mouth of the army commander, and with his own strength, the No. 1 position became the devil's position in the mouth of the enemy.

At this moment, all the hearts of the soldiers in the originally chaotic No. 8 pit suddenly coalesced.
