Wang Xiaoliang searched around, only found some empty canned cans, and never found the others, it was not easy to find this box of canned breakfast.

Ma Da scolded: "Do these foreign devils come out to fight without even bringing food?" ”

Xia Yuan shook his head: "I'm afraid that if you kill them, you can still seize food from them." ”

Wang Xiaoliang said: "It's okay, we still have fried noodles to eat." ”

Xia Yuan finished smoking a cigarette, took out three from the cigarette case, carefully put them in his pocket, and handed the remaining cigarettes to Ma Da, "Take it and smoke, let's go, go clean up the battlefield, it will be dawn in a few hours, I don't know what enemies we will encounter next." ”

The gains of this battle are average, mostly guns and ammunition, and the soldiers generally do not replace the guns and ammunition of the US army, and they carry enough bullets and submachine guns on their bodies, and generally rarely replace their guns, unless all the bullets they carry on their bodies are exhausted.

Most of the weapons and ammunition captured are large eight, carbines and Thomson submachine guns, because of the war with the US army, this kind of bullet is relatively easy to replenish, but the US army will not have too many bullets, especially the US army itself is also consuming, even if they are killed, the number of bullets that can be taken from the corpse of a US soldier is very limited, it is better to transfer the ammunition from the rear, how to replenish it as you want.

In addition to the captured guns and ammunition, there are three super bazookas of the US army, in addition to the ones that were blown up, there are still two intact mortars, three mortar shells, two M1919A4, equipped with tripods, four Browning light machine guns, this thing has been captured a lot, a lot has been captured in the previous battle, and now some have been captured, although the number of a battalion has been sharply reduced a lot, but in terms of weapons and equipment, with the progress of the battle, the more and more rich, as far as the current face is concerned, It is already equipped with two M1919A4 heavy machine guns and three Browning light machine guns, and the other companies are also equipped with heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

After cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers returned to the battalion headquarters with long guns and short guns, and their battalion headquarters was stationed in a mountain col, and the dense woods became their natural barrier, making it difficult for them to be discovered by US planes during the day.

The arrival of the first company alarmed the second and third companies that were resting, and the previous encounters were fought by the second and third companies, and the casualties were heavy, and the US troops retreated in an orderly manner, with aircraft and artillery to cover them, and there were self-propelled anti-aircraft machine gun vehicles of the US troops on the retreat road as cover, which brought huge casualties to the pursuing volunteer soldiers, and the second and third companies that blocked the attack also suffered many casualties.

This time, the task of attacking the fortified position was carried out by the first company.

The victorious return of the first company increased the morale of the soldiers of the first battalion a lot.

The company commander and the instructor went to the meeting, and only the platoon commander was left to lead his own team, and they stepped forward and praised one after another.

"Your company's battle is really beautiful, and the position of a company of the US army was defeated so easily, and so many guns were captured."

Looking at the long spears and short cannons carried by the soldiers of the first company, they don't mention how envious they are, such a big victory is not every time, every battle has to sacrifice a lot of soldiers, continuous battles, so that the second and third companies have different degrees of casualties, but the first company only at the beginning of the second phase of the sixteenth, the attack on the three heights paid a huge sacrifice, and the later battle sacrifices are one or two.

Especially when fighting enemy tanks, it was even possible to knock out ten US tanks at the cost of zero casualties, which was almost a miracle.

"The Sharp Knife Company is worthy of being a Sharp Knife Company, and fighting a tough battle is like drinking water."

"I heard from the comrades of the first company that the long spear skills of the first company are very accurate, and they can kill the enemy hiding in the bunker."

"If only we had this kind of marksmanship, it would be easier to fight the devil's bunker."

Xia Yuan stepped forward and said, "The American devils are running, their soldiers basically have no desire to fight, and after we intersperse them in the ass, they will be in chaos themselves." ”

Ma Da spat and said: "That foreign devil is a paper tiger, it will be broken in a fight, and the American devils we have met along the way are running, but we can't catch up with them." ”

"They are driving, we rely on two legs, we can't catch up."

Chen Lie took the captured canned food to the hospital, then came over, everyone gathered together for a small meeting, after a while, the meeting of the battalion headquarters was over, they were about to open again, Xia Yuan thought that they were going to continue to go deep into Tongguli, if they continued to go deep into Tongguli, it is estimated that they would reach the eastern front, the eastern front is the main target of the second stage of the Volunteer Army, and its target is Syngman Rhee's five divisions, which have now been beaten and have basically no resistance.

It is too far away from the US military, and without the care of his father, they are just a plate of loose sand, and they will break when they touch it.

Unexpectedly, the new order was to let them go to the frontal front of the 180th Division and exchange with the 2nd Battalion.

Company Commander Lei said: "The task of the second battalion is to attack the 336 heights, but a battalion of the US army is stationed on the 336 heights, guarding the road, if we can't lay down the 336, the US reinforcements will be able to go to the eastern front through kilometers, we have to lay down the 336 and deploy defenses on the 336 heights to block the reinforced US troops." ”

Xia Yuan's brain began to turn, and he couldn't find this task node, there were very few things left behind by the 180th Division, not very many, only knowing that the combat mission of the 180th Division was to stick to the middle line and block the US army, but the US army also realized that if it wanted to reinforce the Eastern Front, it needed to pass through the defense line of the 180th Division.

"The second battalion can't beat the 336 heights, so they have to send us a battalion!"

Xia Yuan immediately realized the reason for the issuance of this order, on the evening of the 16th, they fought a beautiful battle in a row, breaking through the enemy's three high ground in a row, and it was for this reason that the division headquarters transferred them to attack 336, otherwise the second battalion would attack 336 with a strong offensive posture, and it is estimated that they would also pay huge casualties.

The order was issued, and considering the time constraints, the first battalion did not have time to make more repairs, so it hurriedly marched to the second battalion's garrison area with enough weapons and ammunition, and the weapons and equipment that could not be taken away were hidden in this mountain col, and the plan was to wait for the war to end, and then come to pick it up.

Three companies and three platoons were responsible for escorting the wounded and the weapons and ammunition that could be taken away, while the rest of the units went first.

The days in North Korea in May were still a little cold, the temperature did not rise much, the soil on the ground was still frozen hard, the soldiers of the first battalion carried guns and ammunition, walked through the woods, and set off from three o'clock this morning, marching rapidly until twelve o'clock, and there were only a dozen kilometers left from the 336 heights, and the second battalion had also advanced in the direction of Tonggu-ri, and they would cooperate with the second battalion of the 539th Regiment to occupy the area around Tonggo-ri.

Closer and closer to the front line, they could already hear the sound of artillery fire, while around them were some sporadic artillery fire, the impact points of which fell far away from the ranks, all cold guns, and the marching team did not care.

Ma Da listened to the sound of the cannonball gliding in the air, and said, "The enemy who fired this cannon is more than ten kilometers away from us." ”

Long-range artillery is some cold artillery, veterans are very experienced, according to the sound of the cannonball gliding in the air, they can basically judge the distance and distance, so everyone has not yet lie down and hide, that is because they have long judged that the enemy who fired the cannon is far away from them.

Xia Yuan listened carefully, there was a sharp whistling sound in his ears, a shell slid in the air for about ten seconds, and exploded in the mountains and forests in the distance with a bang, fusing the memory of the original body, and naturally integrating the combat experience of the original body, although the soldiers did not know the initial velocity of the American howitzer, but they could basically know that the general gun speed was about 500 meters to 700 meters, and the smoothbore time in the air was about ten seconds, so this group of enemies was only more than ten kilometers away from them.

With a little calculation, it is not difficult to figure out where this group of American artillery is from them.

In a row of teams, Wang Xiaoliang looked at the sky from time to time, and the white smoke produced by the US howitzer shells gliding past was a bit funny, but he always looked up like this, and he walked a little absent-mindedly, and the soldiers behind him always stepped on his feet.

Finally, the warrior behind him couldn't help but say, "Little man Wang, are you finished?" You've been looking at it for a while, and it's hard to walk. ”

Wang Xiaoliang said: "I wonder, why are there so many shells for this American devil?" Put it endlessly, even if you don't have a goal, what are you doing all at once? ”

The soldier said: "You don't know this, the Americans have money, so naturally they don't need money for shells, and if people run too much, even if no one wants to bomb indiscriminately, otherwise how can it seem that people are rich." ”

Tan Zhanbiao, the squad leader, said: "Okay, hurry up, I'll be there soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, a shell exploded next to it, everyone fell down, Tan Zhanbiao shouted: "Disperse quickly, there is an enemy in front, this is not a howitzer, it is a mortar!" ”

The enemy fired another series of scattered shells, which exploded around the ranks, and the dirt was rolled up and flew high.

Hearing this unusual shelling, Xia Yuan, who was on night vision, quickly looked around, the sound came from the mountains in the distance, and with the help of Eagle Eye, he saw a high ground in the direction of them at five o'clock, on which there was an ambush of about a platoon of American troops, the fortifications were completed on a hillside, and there was a heavy machine gun group under the high ground to protect the American troops above.

A platoon of about 36 American troops, with three mortars, stayed here for two days, and now when they saw the ranks of the volunteers, they hurriedly opened fire.

Approaching the mortar, two people opened a wooden box, which was full of mortars painted with green paint, one of them was an officer, probably the platoon commander of the platoon, he was observing the ranks of the volunteers with a telescope, and then gestured with his arm to ask the gunner to adjust his position and re-fire. At the same time, the underground machine gun squad was also ready, they were wiping the barrel at this time, they also knew that the group of people who came was the army of the Chinese, and did not dare to relax at all.

"Prepare for battle!"

Xia Yuan shouted, raised his gun to aim at the enemy on the mountain, pulled the trigger, and the bullet whizzed out, hitting the platoon commander of the American army, and he fell to the ground.

The platoon that received Xia Yuan's order was preparing to fight, and suddenly, the shells fell around them one by one, and the roaring explosion sounded like it was about to overturn the mountain, swinging to the left and right, and the soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

The soldier who was talking to Wang Xiaoliang just now was unfortunately hit by a shell, the rifle flew more than two meters away, and the cotton clothes on his body were all torn, revealing pitch-black cotton, and a large piece of shrapnel drilled into his abdomen, and blood soaked through the cotton clothes on his body at once.

Wang Xiaoliang was next to him, and when he saw the soldier who was blown down, his eyelids jumped wildly, and he immediately ran over and took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and pressed his stomach, "Brother, it doesn't matter, hold on." ”

With this press, more blood flowed out, and the cloth and his hands were immediately stained red with slimy blood.

He seemed to want to speak, but his voice was very small, Wang Xiaoliang turned his ear sideways to listen, and the sound of mortar shells gliding in the sky was getting closer and closer.

"It's shelling again, quick, hide,"

However, it was too late to hide now, the soldier had already heard the sound of the cannonball approaching, and he used the last strength of his body to kick Wang Xiaoliang to the side.

The shell exploded at this position, and when Wang Xiaoliang got up and crawled over again, there was only his piece of blood cloth and a pool of blood just now Wang Xiaoliang's eyes flowed with tears, squatting there and looking stupidly, and he didn't move, he just stopped the bleeding for the brother, and now the brother was blown up by the enemy's shell and didn't even leave a corpse.

The parting of life and death at this moment is undoubtedly the most cruel, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept, and two soldiers ran over next to him and dragged him up: "Little man, get up quickly, go!" ”

Wang Xiaoliang was still looking back at the piece of blood cloth, looking very stunned, and when the squad leader Tan Zhanbiao saw this, he immediately ran to Wang Xiaoliang's side, slapped him with his hand, and said: "Wake up, he has sacrificed, and if you want to avenge him, you will pick up a gun and fight with foreign devils!" ”

Wang Xiaoliang relieved himself, grabbed the gun in his hand tightly, and wiped away his tears: "Squad leader, I want to avenge him!" ”

"That's right, that's like a warrior!"

Tan Zhanbiao admired.

Xia Yuan took Ma Da and the first and second rows of soldiers, and had already rushed to the enemy's high ground first, the enemy's machine gun rang out, a string of bullets shot into the ground, and the dirt flew up, and the six soldiers who rushed to the front were knocked down by the enemy's machine gun, and everyone was pressed by a machine gun to raise their heads, and the enemy's cannon was on the reverse slope, condescending.

Lei Lian Commander shouted: "This high ground is 336, be careful of the other troops of the American devils, we can't be pinned down here by them, Xia Yuan, you stay here with a squad of people, the others will withdraw immediately, we will attack from other directions!" ”

At this moment, the sound of enemy artillery and machine guns was also heard from the front.

The second and third companies of the 1st battalion collided with the American troops on the 336 heights.
