Chapter 80: How much Team Leader Li is looking forward to victory in the battle.

The first phase of the counterattack operation on the 537.7 Heights North Mountain achieved a phased success, which greatly dealt a blow to the enemy's arrogance and drove the enemy back from his position to the bottom of the mountain.

And only one day later, a new round of the enemy's offensive began, the soldiers strictly followed the superior's policy of tunnel warfare, and after resisting on the position, they quickly retreated to the tunnel, and the enemy once again captured all the positions on the north mountain of the 537.7 high ground after paying huge casualties.

On November 10, the cold winter of North Korea was quietly approaching, and in the evening, the temperature dropped below freezing.

The soldier who was lying at the mouth of the pit and was in charge of guarding curled up in a ball, shivering from the cold, and the cold made him feel a lot more energetic, and then he felt a warm futon covering him, and the soldier looked back.

He stood up suddenly, "Battalion commander! ”

"Sit." Xia Yuan smiled and tightened the clothes on his body.

"Battalion commander, cover you, I'm not cold." Even though the soldier was shivering from the cold, even though the futon on his body was very warm, the soldier still rolled up the futon and stuffed it to Xia Yuan.

"There's still one in the tunnel, and this is for you."

Xia Yuan returned the futon to him again, turned around and shouted, "Hu Changdao." ”

"Battalion commander!"

Hu Changdao quickly ran over with a military coat and put it on Xia Yuan.

Seeing this, the soldier took the futon and rolled it up on his body, and sure enough, the chill disappeared a lot, and his body became a little warmer.

"Thank you, battalion commander!"

The warrior's heart warmed.

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Battle, sooner or later we will win, we are not too late from the day of the battle." ”

"Battalion commander, call from superior."

The walkie-talkie man came running again.

"Hey." Xia Yuan got up, patted the little warrior on the shoulder, and returned to the depths of the tunnel, the warriors all woke up, and their eyes became bright.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

They heard the voice of the walkie-talkie, and immediately woke up, touched their guns, and waited for orders from their superiors.

The order was issued by the superiors, and the 12th Army, which had been replaced, decided to counterattack the enemy on the north hill of the 537.7 heights with the strength of the 1st, 7th, and 8th companies of the 92nd Regiment the next day.

After receiving the order from his superiors, Xia Yuan quickly led people to guard the mouth of the tunnel, ready to meet the assault team at any time.

The severe cold was quietly coming, the temperature had dropped to below zero, and an assault platoon quickly approached the No. 8 position in the north mountain of the 537.7 high ground with the help of the cover of night.

"Always ready for battle."

Xia Yuan groaned, loaded the gun, and was ready to answer at any time.

A cold wind blew, blowing the clothes on the soldiers' bodies and making the soldiers' bodies swing, they held their guns and squatted on the left and right sides of the mouth of the tunnel, silent, ready to follow the summer battalion commander to attack the enemy at any time.

Under the cover of the two combat groups, they quickly entered the tunnel, and the fighters of the two combat groups quickly put away their guns and entered the tunnel from the anticline planes on the left and right sides of the tunnel mouth, leaving a combat group at the mouth of the tunnel.

"Platoon commander of the 92nd Company of the 92nd Regiment of the 12th Army, Zhou Ming reported to the commander of the summer battalion!"

In the tunnel, Zhou Ming saluted Xia Yuan with some excitement, since the outbreak of the Shangganling Battle, all armies and companies have spread the deeds of the Shangganling God of War, and the division has taken Xia Yuan's deeds as a way to strengthen the hearts of the army, and the commanders and fighters of each army and company will tell the soldiers about Xia Yuan's battle deeds.

From the unnamed highlands to the beginning of the edge, to the Xiaganling Cangshan Annihilation Battle became famous, and then the Battle of Shangganling broke out, with the fighting spirit of the front, leading the soldiers in the No. 1 tunnel, the No. 1 position was turned into the enemy's mouth of the 'devil's position', so that the enemy's talk changed, in the positional battle, every time the enemy's attack on the No. 1 position was organized into a reinforced battalion, but it was defeated again and again by Xia Yuan with the team.

He is a well-deserved battle hero in Shangganling.

Now the battle on the 597.9 Heights is basically over, Xia Yuan came to the 537.7 Heights to continue his legend, in several counterattack operations, Xia Yuan led the soldiers in the tunnel, a large number of the enemy's living forces, destroyed the enemy's fortifications, and laid the foundation for the comprehensive victory of the follow-up counterattack operation of the No. 8 position.

Zhou Ming and the soldiers of the second platoon were not excited when they saw such a combat hero.

In the Battle of Shangganling, almost all the soldiers took Xia Yuanjian as their role model, and took the sacrificed battle heroes in Shangganling as their goals.

Countless soldiers felt honored to be able to fight in Shangganling.

The arrival of the assault platoon made the fighters in the tunnel very happy, since the first stage of the counterattack, there was no follow-up troops to go up the mountain, and basically relied on the fighters in the tunnel to fight the enemy on the mountain. They cordially held the palms of their comrades and discussed the things in the battle, but the discussion was more about the battle hero.

"Welcome to your arrival, with you, tomorrow's counterattack will be much smoother."

Xia Yuan said with emotion.

The deputy platoon commander said: "Camp Commander Xia, don't worry, tomorrow's counterattack operation, we will definitely beat this group of foreign devils fiercely." ”

Beginning at 16:25 on November 11, the 92nd Regiment, with the support of 70 mountain artillery, field artillery, howitzers, 30 mortars and 24 rocket artillery, counterattacked the 537.7 North Mountain with the strength of three companies, and fought fiercely until 17:50, all the surface positions on the 537.7 Heights North Mountain were restored, and one battalion of the 17th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the South Korean Army was completely annihilated.

The second stage of the counterattack operation achieved a complete victory, and the defeated positions should be defended, which is a difficult problem, especially the No. 1 position in Beishan, the 537.7 heights, which is the focus of contention between the two armies, as early as two days ago, Xia Yuan sent Li Xiangze and Sun Shangyong to lead a squad of soldiers each to reinforce the No. 1 position.

Position No. 1 is the only way for the Volunteer Army to cover the reinforcement of troops and the supply of ammunition, relying on which it can restore the No. 2 and No. 3 positions in one fell swoop, and directly take the No. 7 and No. 8 positions.

The 537.7 Heights Beishan was once again contested by the Volunteers, and after the success of the second stage of the counterattack, Xia Yuan also received the task of going to the No. 1 position and holding the No. 1 position, and the No. 8 position was handed over to the assault platoon of the Eighth Company to hold on.

Late at night, Xia Yuan set off with a squad of soldiers, and they soon arrived at the scorched earth No. 1 position, where the volunteers had built a strong fortification, and stationed on this hill was the 1st platoon of the 3rd Company of the 92nd Regiment of the 12th Army, who turned the No. 1 position into a steel-like fortress.

Xia Yuan met the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander of the third company on the No. 1 position, and the two admired Xia Yuan very much, and when asked about the previous soldiers, the platoon commander said: "The enemy's defense in the No. 1 position is very strong, and last night's counterattack operation caused heavy losses to the counterattacking troops, they sacrificed a lot, and the seriously wounded were in the tunnel." ”

Xia Yuan glanced at a group of soldiers, but did not see the soldiers who came out of the No. 8 tunnel, and when he came to the mouth of the tunnel, he heard a sound of surprise coming from the tunnel.

"The summer camp commander is here! The summer camp commander is here! ”

A dimly lit pit filled with the smell of blood and foul odor, a group of warriors like savages.

In this group of people, Xia Yuan saw Sun Shangyong, who was seriously injured, wrapped in bandages, he saw Xia Yuan coming, he excitedly held Xia Yuan's hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Battalion commander, I blew up three bunkers, I didn't disgrace you." ”

Xia Yuan was extremely moved, and held his hand tightly: "Have a good rest." ”

He looked at the seriously wounded in Tunnel No. 1, most of whom had been sent from Tunnel No. 8 by himself, lying in the tunnel with missing hands and legs, covered in bandages.

Xia Yuan saw Li Xiangze again, his jaw was lost by the enemy's bullets, leaving only the upper half of his face and a tongue, covered in blood. He couldn't speak anymore, he could only make a kaka sound, and blood was constantly foaming in his mouth, which looked very terrifying, Xia Yuan held Li Xiangze's hand, and the tears in his eyes flowed down.

Li Xiangze couldn't speak, but just grabbed Xia Yuan's palm tightly with his hand, and his eyes had a bright light, which was the light of longing for victory.

Xia Yuan said with tears in his eyes: "We are victorious, victorious, all positions have been defeated by us." ”

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Li Xiangze made a kaka sound again, the blood foam blocked his throat, he had to swallow the blood, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, the enemy's bullet knocked off his jaw, and the clothes on his chest were dyed black and red.

He was still breathing.

After hearing Xia Yuan's words, he grabbed Xia Yuan's hand like this, gradually, the grip was loosened, gradually, the soldiers couldn't hear Nakaka's voice, Li Xiangze sacrificed, he closed his eyes, and seemed to be very relieved, because he knew that the position was back to them, but he couldn't see the day of victory in the battle.

The warriors in the pit cried.

Xia Yuanqiang held back his tears and didn't cry in front of the soldiers, turned around and came to the mouth of the tunnel, tears slid down his cheeks, he didn't know how many times he cried in Shangganling, every time, he was deeply moved by the soldiers.

Hu Changdao cried and said, "How much squad leader Li is looking forward to winning the battle in his heart. ”

The soldiers all knew that Squad Leader Li held on to his breath just to hear the victory of the counterattack, and only in this way would he leave with confidence.

At this time, a platoon of communicators walked in and said in an anxious voice: "Camp Commander Xia, the enemy is coming. ”

The wounded in the tunnel could not sit still, they asked for battle one after another, went to stop the enemy, and even the seriously wounded sat up with their bodies propped up, asked the battalion commander to fight, and gave them the most difficult task!

Xia Yuan knew that if he really sent a mission to the seriously wounded, they would definitely carry blasters and die with the enemy, so he immediately rejected the request of the seriously wounded to fight, and said: "If we run out, you will be the second echelon." ”

He looked at Sun Shangyong and said, "The troops in the tunnel are under your command." ”

After speaking, he took Hu Changdao and led the soldiers of his squad to the No. 1 position.

The battle has begun.

The deputy platoon commander of the first platoon led a squad to guard the left flank, the third squad to guard the right flank, and the second squad was controlled by the platoon commander.

Xia Yuan led people to guard the position in the middle, the enemy's offensive was very fierce, but the determination of the soldiers to yearn for victory was far stronger than the enemy's offensive, and the death of squad leader Li was still deeply imprinted in their minds, and they secretly swore in their hearts that even if they paid for their lives, they would hold the victory that squad leader Li longed for.

On the twelfth, the enemy attacked three times and hit nails, and received nothing but a batch of corpses.

The strength in the middle of position 1 was a nerve-wracking blow to the enemy. The enemy, who had not been able to attack well, turned to blockade the hill with more intense firepower in an attempt to strangle the holding force.

During the day, under the blockade of enemy fire, the movement and transportation of troops were very difficult. Chen Zhiyuan, the leader of the third squad of the first platoon, led the soldiers in the squad to brave the enemy's bullets to collect ammunition on the enemy's corpses, and shot at the enemy in front of the formation while collecting.

At night, the enemy illuminated this hill with strong searchlights, closely monitoring the situation on position No. 1. The soldiers endured hunger in the cold winter nights, and despite the fatigue after the fierce battle, they nervously repaired the fortifications and prepared to deal with the enemy's attack the next day.

In the bomb crater, a platoon leader sat with Xia Yuan, looking at the strong light shining from the enemy's position, and scolding.

Xia Yuan asked, "How is the amount of weapons and ammunition now?" ”

A platoon said: "There are not many, there are only four boxes of grenades left, and only three boxes of machine gun shells left, and the weapons on the fighters are seriously worn, and the consumption of ammunition is even worse." ”

The deputy platoon commander listened to the dense artillery blockade on their movement route and said: "The enemy is preparing to block us on the No. 1 position and completely seal us down. ”

Position No. 1 was very important, and when the comrades of the transporters wanted to transport weapons and ammunition to the soldiers in the tunnel, they all came from the No. 1 position, and the movement route of the No. 1 position was blocked, so the weapons and ammunition could not be delivered, and the No. 1 position encountered a fierce attack by the enemy, and the ammunition consumption was serious.

Xia Yuan looked at the searchlight on the enemy's position through the eye of the gun, and after thinking, he said:

"We touch the bullets from the corpses of the enemy!"

The platoon leader was taken aback and said, "Summer camp chief, wouldn't this be too risky?" ”

Xia Yuan set up the big eight grains and said, "Don't take risks, I'll knock out the enemy's searchlight, and you send a death squad to touch the enemy's corpse." ”

The platoon commander and the deputy platoon commander glanced at each other, and the platoon commander said, "Summer camp commander, we listen to you." ”

Soon, they organized a squad of fighters, taking nothing with them, ready for action.

Night vision turned on, and the enemy's arming on the opposite hill appeared in Xia Yuan's eyes, he set up a big eight, pulled the trigger continuously, banged a few gunshots, the enemy's searchlight went out at once, and in an instant, the entire No. 1 position fell into darkness.

Several heavy machine guns rang out from the top of the enemy's hill, and chains of fire swept from the opposite high ground, like a long whip hitting the hill with a radius of less than 100 square meters.
