Chapter 85: The End
Walking through the crowd, they walked inside and saw Hu Changdao sitting on the ground, crying, and Zhao asked, "Are you Comrade Hu Changdao?" ”
With the summer battalion commander transferred to 437.7, his movements were followed by his superiors, Xia Yuan led Hu Changdao, held on to the frontal battlefield of the No. 1 position for two days, repelled dozens of enemy attacks, eliminated more than 400 enemies, and greatly dealt a blow to the enemy's arrogance, the guard Hu Changdao also successfully entered the field of vision of the superiors, and the combat deeds of the two were spread again, and Hu Changdao also won the title of hero.
Hearing someone call his name, Hu Changdao looked up, and immediately stood up and put the gun on his back, "Yes!" ”
He asked, "Are you ......?"
Commander Zhao said: "I am the commander of the 106th Regiment of the 34th Division, Zhao Zengbin, this is Li Xiangshu, the political commissar of the regiment. ”
"Commander Zhao, Political Commissar Li!" Hu Changdao saluted and then begged, "Please save our battalion commander!" ”
Regiment Commander Zhao said: "Comrade Hu Changdao, please rest assured, we will definitely do our best to save the summer battalion commander." ”
He said to the commissar again: "I'll go first and see." ”
The political commissar nodded, calming the mood of the soldiers, and his heart was also very unbearable, the battle deeds of the summer battalion commander were since the outbreak of the battle in Shangganling, they listened, and witnessed little by little, this god-of-war task has almost become the eyes of all the soldiers rushing to Shangganling.
Even at the mobilization meeting of the whole regiment, they were determined to learn from Comrade Xia Yuan's fighting spirit and strive to be the god of war in Shangganling.
Now, Xia Yuan is seriously injured and lying in the hospital.
When the political commissar asked Hu Changdao how Comrade Xia Yuan was injured, Hu Changdao couldn't cry, "It would be good if I covered everyone to enter the Mao'er Cave, if it was me, then Camp Commander Xia would not be injured." ”
He said with great self-reproach: "Obviously, I am the guard of the summer camp chief, but when the summer camp chief needs the guard the most, I let the summer camp chief do my task. ”
The more he spoke, the more he felt self-blame, obviously he could have done better, and if he had covered the summer camp commander to enter the cat's ear hole, the summer camp chief would not have been injured.
Inside the tunnel, Regiment Commander Zhao was asking the hygienist about the situation, and the hygienist said: "Commander Zhao, a shrapnel was injected into the back of the head of the summer battalion chief, although it is not not fatal, but because this shrapnel is not likely to be taken out with the current medical conditions, and even if it is taken out, the possibility of the summer camp commander waking up is ......"
Regiment Leader Zhao opened his mouth and came to the summer camp chief who was surrounded by the hygienist, they had already treated the wounds on the summer camp leader's body, wrapped the wounds on his body with bandages, and almost wrapped Xia Yuan into a mummy, only the above eyes were exposed.
A hygienist choked up and said: "Comrade Xia Yuan has three gunshot wounds on his body, which are not fatal, the bullets need to be taken out by surgery, and we also found more than a dozen shrapnel on his body, because the inlay position is too deep, it also needs to be taken out through surgery." ”
Another wounded man's eyes were red, and he said: "It's hard to imagine that Comrade Xia Yuan has so much shrapnel in his body, and he is still fighting the enemy on the Shangganling position, what a great pain he has to endure." ”
Listening to their conversation, Head Zhao was only full of admiration for Xia Yuan in his heart.
This soldier is an amazing soldier.
Commander Zhang of the 135th Regiment, as the battle on the 597.9 heights in Shangganling was coming to an end, and the regiment of the 12th Army took over the defense of 597.9, during this time he inspected the training of the soldiers at the headquarters of the regiment.
But whenever he had free time, he stood in front of the mountainside, looking at the direction of Shangganling in a daze, and the veterans of the 135th Regiment stayed on Shangganling.
At this time, the political commissar hurriedly came over and whispered two words in the ear of the head of the regiment, the head of the Zhang regiment was stunned, he turned his head to look at the political commissar, looked at the recruits of the 135th regiment behind him, took him to a forest, and hurriedly asked: "How is the situation of Comrade Xia Yuan now?" ”
The political commissar said, "It has been sent to the division headquarters, but I heard from the doctor that Comrade Xia Yuan's condition is not very good, and we must be mentally prepared." ”
Commander Zhang opened his mouth, and only after a while did he say: "Prepare the car, I want to go to the division headquarters!" ”
The news that Xia Yuan was seriously injured and fell into a coma not only alarmed Commander Zhang, the commander of the 45th Division, the commander of the 15th Army, and even the division, Xia Yuan was injured, which alarmed too many people, you must know that Xia Yuan is the god of war in Shangganling, a legendary recruit, who changed the No. 1 position to the 'devil's position' by foreign devils, and was commended by the whole army.
During the Battle of Shangganling, his heroic deeds were widely disseminated, and he was an example in the minds of all the soldiers of the entire 15th Army and the 12th Army, their goal, and their hero.
On the 25th, Shangganling basically came to an end, just when the superiors were happy, the news that the 'Shangganling God of War' was seriously injured came back to the military headquarters and the department, and the commanders were gathering together to discuss the next plan against the enemy, and after hearing the news, everyone was stunned.
Commander Qin asked the correspondent about Xia Yuan's injuries.
The correspondent was silent for a moment and said: "The summer camp commander is very seriously injured, and according to the doctor, he can't wake up." ”
The commanders fell silent, and Commander Qin muttered, "Where is Comrade Xia Yuan receiving treatment now?" ”
The correspondent replied: "The rear hospital of the 45th Division." ”
Commander Qin said: "Prepare the car, go to the 45th Division!" ”
The rear hospital of the 45th Division, with the arrival of jeeps, the superior commanders of the entire 15th Army basically arrived at the rear hospital of the 45th Division, and in a cave, they met.
The commander of the 45th Division sat on the stool with a sad face, and when he saw Commander Qin coming, he immediately stood up, "Commander! Chief of staff! ”
Commander Qin asked, "What's the situation inside?" ”
The division commander said in a deep voice: "Comrade Xia Yuan is being treated, and the doctor said that it is not very likely that Comrade Xia Yuan will wake up, and a shrapnel has injured his head. ”
Commander Qin nodded, indicating that he understood.
The division commander said again: "Army commander, about Comrade Xia Yuan's military exploits. ”
Commander Qin said: "Wait for the battle of Shangganling to end, and hold an all-army meeting." ”
Commander Zhang of the 135th Regiment soon arrived at the rear hospital of the division headquarters, entered the hospital, and met two female comrades, whose eyes were red, as if they had just cried, and they were discussing in a low voice.
"I hope God can open his eyes and make the summer camp chief wake up."
"Our heroes shouldn't be in bed."
Head Zhang paused, turned around and shouted, "Comrade, may I ask which ward is the summer camp commander in?" ”
The female comrade stopped, looked at Commander Zhang, saw that the other party had an extraordinary appearance, and was followed by the guard, so she said, "Chief, you are also here to find Camp Commander Xia?" ”
Regiment Commander Zhang nodded, "The summer camp commander is my fourth battalion commander. ”
As soon as the lesbians heard it, they knew who was in front of them.
The battle of Shangganling broke out, and the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division was all wiped out and rebuilt.
The female comrade hurriedly said: "Chief, the summer camp chief is undergoing surgery in the No. 3 tunnel, and many leaders are waiting. ”
After saying goodbye to the female comrades, Regiment Commander Zhang took the political commissar and guards and quickly came to the No. 3 tunnel in the mouth of the female comrades, which was actually very easy to identify, because the No. 3 tunnel was full of people, wounded, cadres, and soldiers, and Commander Zhang also saw the division commander, army commander and chief of staff.
"Chief!"
The tunnel was very quiet, everyone was waiting anxiously, and Head Zhang stepped forward to salute.
The division commander said, "Lao Zhang, you are also here." ”
Regiment Commander Zhang looked a little anxious and said, "Comrade Xia Yuan is my fourth battalion commander, can I come over and have a look?" ”
Commander Qin said: "Lao Zhang, don't worry, the fourth battalion commander has a great fortune, Shangganling has not defeated him for so many days, and in the last few days, he will definitely not collapse." ”
Head Zhang sighed and nodded.
Everyone sat in the pit and didn't speak again, waiting for the operation inside the pit to be over.
After a while, a doctor in a white coat came out of the tunnel, this doctor was transferred from the corps headquarters, and he was the best doctor in the entire rear hospital. ”
Lao Han sighed and said with emotion: "We took out eight pieces of shrapnel from Comrade Xia Yuan, three bullets, and some shrapnel are too deep to be taken out, and there is also a piece of shrapnel embedded in the skull in the back of his head, with the current medical level, this shrapnel cannot be taken out, rashly operated, Comrade Xia Yuan's life is very likely to be saved, even if it is saved, it is unlikely that he will wake up, and his current state is very similar to a vegetative person in Western academia." ”
"Doctor Han, what's the matter with a vegetative person?" Head Zhang asked.
Lao Han said: "A vegetative person is just like a plant on the ground, alive, but he can't move, he can't speak, you don't even know if he is conscious, to put it bluntly, he is forever in a coma, but his body is still alive, and his heart will still beat." ”
The division commander asked him, "Old Han, how long will this situation last?" ”
Lao Han thought for a while and said: "There is no exact standard for this, and even this word I learned by accident, whether it can be revived or not, it is estimated that it depends on Comrade Xia Yuan's creation." ”
Everyone was silent, and Dr. Han's words undoubtedly showed the possibility that Xia Yuan would not wake up. Only Hu Changdao cried quietly, and he sat on the ground talking to himself with great self-reproach.
Maybe it was by covering everyone to enter the tunnel, so that the summer camp commander would not have an accident, maybe he could quickly notify the summer camp commander that the enemy's artillery was coming, maybe they would be able to enter the cat ear hole one step ahead, maybe ......
The accident of the summer battalion commander is undoubtedly very heavy for everyone, this Shangganling god of war has survived the battle of Shangganling for such a long time, but when the enemy's offensive weakened, something happened, everyone's mood was very heavy, it seemed that they didn't want to believe all this, but the facts were in front of them.
After the operation, Commander Qin and other leaders went in to visit Xia Yuan, and they stood in front of the hospital bed, paying tribute to this battle hero of Shangganling and paying silent tribute.
The accompanying war correspondents took photos of Xia Yuan lying on the hospital bed.
This is an invaluable picture.
On the 25th, the 106th Regiment of the Volunteer Army attacked and repelled more than 50 enemy attacks, annihilated more than 1,400 enemies, and finally completely smashed the enemy's rampant attack and consolidated the position of the 537.7 Heights in Beishan. At this time, due to heavy casualties, the enemy was forced to withdraw the 2nd Division of the South Korean Army and the 7th Division of the US Army for reorganization, and the defense of these two divisions was taken over by the 9th Division of the South Korean Army and the 25th Division of the US Army respectively, and the enemy's offensive was basically stopped.
Van Vleet ran out of 'chips' and couldn't continue the 'showdown'.
At the beginning of the campaign, Van Vliet boasted that the 'Jinhua Offensive' was the largest offensive ever launched since the 1951 Autumn Offensive, a 'showdown operation' to 'reverse the current occupation', and boasted of occupying the land he needed to occupy.
When Clarke, commander-in-chief of the 'United Nations Forces,' approved this combat plan, he also believed that as long as ammunition and aviation support were ensured, only two battalions would be needed to achieve the goal.
However, in fact, in order to fight for the positions of the two companies, the 'United Nations Army' successively invested more than 60,000 troops and used a large number of planes, artillery, and tanks, which took 43 days, and as a result, more than 25,000 people were annihilated, 300 planes were shot down or damaged, 61 large-caliber guns and 14 tanks were destroyed and damaged, and a large number of light weapons and technical equipment were also lost, and 1.9 million rounds of artillery shells, more than 5,000 bombs, and a large amount of other materials were consumed, and they ended in failure.
The battle of Shangganling completely shredded the enemy's delusion of trying to open the triangular defense line and force the Volunteer Army to retreat on all fronts.
With the end of the battle at Shangganling, the whole front turned to a defensive state, and the Korean battlefield entered the third stage.
Comrade Xia Yuan has been transported from the division headquarters to the rear hospital of the military headquarters, a separate ward to recuperate, and there is an endless stream of soldiers who come to visit him every day.
At the all-army conference of the 15th Army and the 12th Army, Commander Qin delivered an exciting speech, and he said at the end: "After 43 days, the cruel Shangganling Battle is over, but those comrades who sacrificed their lives, maybe they have left us forever, but their spirit will always shine on us and illuminate the road ahead for us." ”
At the meeting, Commander Qin, in coordination with the chief of staff of the army, awarded the Medal of Honor to those comrades who sacrificed.
"Sun Yuan, the platoon commander of the 2nd platoon of the 9th Company of the 135th Regiment, ...... when his legs were blown off by the enemy and the left position was lost, he controlled the machine gun to cover us, and finally died with the enemy! Won the first-class merit, the first-class combat hero! ”
"Qian Guohao, platoon commander of the 135th platoon of the 9th Company of the 4th Regiment...... The No. 2 position on the 597.9 heights of Shangganling fell, and in order to cover the retreat of Comrade Zhao Fengshou, the last grenade rushed towards the enemy group! Won the first-class merit, the first-class combat hero! ”
"Zhao Fengshou, a soldier in the 135th platoon of the 9th Company of the 4th Regiment...... 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 to push the blaster against the canister, and died with the enemy's bunker. Won the first-class merit and the first-class combat hero. ”
"Han Xianxu, a soldier in the 135th platoon of the 9th Company of the 2nd Regiment...... After running out of bullets, the enemy rushed to the position and, in order to block the enemy's attack, launched a suicidal attack on the enemy with a bayonet! Won the first-class merit and the first-class combat hero. ”
"Zhu Xinchang, a soldier in the 1st platoon of the 9th Company of the 135th Regiment...... With all the bullets gone, and there were no stones to throw around, he threw himself at the enemy with open arms, scuffled with the enemy, and died a heroic death. Won the first-class merit and the second-class combat hero. ”
"Wang Yongmeng, ...... of the 135th Company of the 9th Regiment"
......
"Xia Yuan, commander of the 4th Battalion of the 135th Regiment......"
Every time the name of a hero is recited, his heroic deeds will be read out word by word by the commander of the Qin army, and the soldiers are sad to listen to, with tears in their eyes, every hero is worthy of their memory.
When the name of the last hero was read, some of the warriors lost control of their emotions and wept bitterly, even if some of the stronger warriors did not cry, but there were tears on his face.
What a hero, what a warrior.
At this moment, they are gone forever. amp;
