Chapter 41: Great Merit
The 336 heights were knocked down, the second and third companies ran up, the first company was still in the rear, and the machine gun company and the self-respecting team were on the road.
Xia Yuan led a squad of soldiers to run behind the enemy from the cliff, and the news of capturing their commander spread on the high ground, and the soldiers felt incredible, the same two legs, two hands, and one head, why is the gap so big.
Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao were going up the mountain with a company, and a soldier saw Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao and a group of soldiers coming up from the mountain, and immediately ran down from the mountain, "Company Commander Lei, Instructor Shao, you are here, hurry up, a platoon leader, a platoon leader is waiting for you on the mountain!" β
"A long line!?"
Commander Lei was stunned for a moment, and a trace of anger appeared on his face, "Where are the others?" β
The soldier was obviously a little surprised when he saw the reaction of Company Commander Lei, and pointed to the mountain: "A platoon is on the mountain." β
"It's a good Xia Yuan, the battle is over, he appeared, the front line paid so many casualties to bring down the enemy's high ground, but he appeared on the high ground, and he ran very fast."
Company Commander Lei pinched his waist, and when he mentioned Xia Yuan's unauthorized action, he was angry, "Instructor, don't stop me later, I have to teach him a good lesson, as an old comrade, how many comrades will be hurt by unauthorized action, it was okay to act without permission before, after all, it was a small-scale battle, but now it is different, once the action of the entire division is involved, no task can be sloppy." β
Instructor Shao smiled bitterly: "If you want me to say, it's better to save face for him, and when you return to the position, it's not too late for you to teach him a lesson, after all, in front of so many people, the second and third companies are here, and you teach him like this." β
"Instructor, you are still protecting him, what is there to protect his face, why don't you think about your own face when you act without permission."
As he spoke, they had lifted their feet and walked towards the high ground.
Zhou Xingyong and Wu Ping grabbed the commander of the US army, and Ji Zhongning supported the wounded veterans and greeted their company commanders with joy.
Xia Yuan and Lao Yang sat on the ground, smoking cigarettes, looking at the soldiers carrying the bodies in the distance, Lao Yang said: "In this battle, many people were sacrificed. β
"The high ground is difficult to attack, it is not conducive to attacking the fortification, if it is not for us climbing up from the cliff, it is estimated that the battle on the front line has not stopped until now."
Xia Yuan smoked an American-style cigarette and said with a cloud of smoke.
"This interspersed is the most comfortable one in my life, and I will continue next time." Lao Yang smiled, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and stood up: "Company commander, they are here." β
Xia Yuan took a deep puff of his cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt, stood up and said, "The company commander and instructor are probably regarded as the third echelon, and their faces are not very good-looking." β
He shook his arm: "Hey, company commander, instructor." β
Company Commander Lei walked over with a black face, looking like I was not very happy, Instructor Shao saw the white man they were grabbing, and reached out and dragged the black-faced Company Commander Lei, Company Commander Lei naturally saw the white man they caught, and the words that were just about to criticize were swallowed into his stomach at once.
"Who is he?"
Lao Yang said happily: "Company commander, the commander of the foreign devil we captured, the officer level is not small, and he is the company commander of the foreign devil." β
"Good fellow, a company commander of a foreign devil."
Company Commander Lei's expression suddenly became surprised, and he couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes swept over the commander of this foreign devil, and said, "How did you catch it?" β
"We climbed from the cliff in the back mountain to the rear of the foreign devil's position, first ended the foreign devil's artillery position, and then ended the foreign devil's headquarters, the platoon commander also came to a trick to encircle the point to help, take the headquarters, not the first is the time to rush in, but to give the foreign devil's commander time to move the rescue troops, we ambushed the position, the foreign devil's reinforcements came, we relied on the favorable terrain, a sudden burst, the foreign devil's reinforcements were all reimbursed."
Lao Yang looked excited and said: "Then the platoon commander asked us to pick up the troops fighting on the front line, and we took the bazooka and the cannon captured from the foreign devils, and took the two bunkers of the foreign devils." β
Instructor Shao and Company Commander Lei looked shocked and couldn't help but glance at each other.
Grandma's, the feelings are long and this is going to do big things.
Company Commander Lei asked: "How many foreign devils have you eliminated, tell the truth, and you are not allowed to lie." β
"Two platoons, blow up two turrets, the foreign devil who killed the bomb doesn't know." Xia Yuan said.
"Really killed two platoons of foreign devils? You also blew up the bunker? Instructor Shao hurriedly confirmed.
"Ang, the corpses are all lying on the side of the foreign devil headquarters, and there is also a squad of the artillery position of the US army, a squad of reinforcements, plus a squad watching the headquarters, there are two platoons." Xia Yuan calculated a little, the number of American troops on the 336 heights is really quite a lot, it seems to be a company, but the number is far more than the strength of a company. "We captured the bazooka and the recoilless guns on the position, the bunkers that were blown up with that thing, and that thing is very good against pillboxes and tanks."
"Great, Lao Lei, the platoon leader has made a great contribution."
Instructor Shao looked happy.
"Lao Shao, this kid is still acting on his own." Commander Lei grinned, completely without the angry expression at the bottom of the mountain, and the speed of changing his face was unparalleled.
"Hey, I made up for it, wiped out two platoons of American troops, knocked out two bunkers of foreign devils, and helped the troops fighting head-on to take 336, this is a great achievement, a proper combat hero."
Instructor Shao couldn't help but be happy, and continued: "Xia Yuan, you will tell me the details later, and I will write a written report and hand it in." β
"Lao Yang, you go and say."
Xia Yuan grinned.
"Hey."
Wang Xiaoliang and Liu Tiezhu were also very happy that the platoon commander had made great contributions, at least the platoon commander did not need to be criticized anymore.
Ma Da and Chen Lie were a little envious.
Ma Da put his arm around Xia Yuan's neck and said, "Really give us a long face, Lao Xia, when the medal is issued, let's also see the medal of the battle hero." β
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "No problem." β
Chen Lie was also sincerely happy for Xia Yuan, and said, "Congratulations, Lao Xia, you have become a battle hero." β
"Combat heroes are also people, they are all fought by fighting devils, I can, you can too."
That being said, if Chen Lie and Ma Da brought themselves into Xia Yuan's situation, they would find that they couldn't do what Xia Yuan did at all, and a cliff alone could block their way.
The written report was written quickly, this is a great achievement, Instructor Shao naturally had to pay attention, and Battalion Commander Li also came to the position of the first company, while reading the written report, he stared at Xia Yuan and the six of them, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, good, you six are the combat heroes of our first battalion, without you, the frontal battlefield is estimated to have to fight with the enemy for a while, if the enemy's reinforcements arrive, then it will be even more difficult for us to fight again." β
"Lao Lei also told me before that a platoon commander acted without authorization, and in my opinion, this unauthorized action was very decisive, and on the battlefield, command cadres at all levels should seize the fleeting fighter plane and adapt to the situation." Battalion Commander Li said, put the written report into his arms, "The platoon commander did a very good job, but the improvisation should also pay attention to relaxation, the platoon commander is to see the fighter, if there is no fighter, improvise, that is to act without authorization, merit is merit, over is over, should criticize, or criticize, should be rewarded, we do not include the lake." β
"Yes, battalion commander, I have deeply realized my mistake, the battlefield situation is ever-changing, even a trace of fighter planes may disappear with the ever-changing battlefield situation, once the unauthorized action fails, the consequences are unimaginable, I will deeply review myself, please rest assured company commander, please rest assured battalion commander, please rest assured commanders, please rest assured."
Xia Yuan said with a straight face.
The merits and demerits are offset, but the merits and demerits must be separated after all, and acting without permission is a wrong act in itself, which is conclusive, Xia Yuan also faces his mistakes, and the merits he has made, Xia Yuan also maintains a modest attitude, and will not be complacent because of a combat hero, from Changjin Lake to Shangganling, how many combat heroes he has won by himself, even she herself does not know, he has long been accustomed to the name brought by the combat hero, this kind of name is limited to this world, to the real world, He's still a martial artist who knows a little martial arts.
Naturally, you won't be fluttering because you have won a battle hero.
Battalion Commander Li took away the written report on the battle on the 336 Heights, and he was going to submit this report, and the six of them fundamentally reversed the battle on the 336 Heights, which was of great significance and great merit.
Before leaving, Battalion Commander Li explained: "Do a good job of defense, the enemy's reinforcements are on the way, I don't know when they will arrive, we must be prepared to deal with the enemy who will appear at any time." β
After Battalion Commander Li left, the company commander began to urge everyone to set up an ambush quickly, and Xia Yuan took some soldiers to the battalion headquarters to receive ammunition supplies for their company.
North Korea in May was still relatively cold, and the ground was still a little too hard, so they could only be simply repaired with a few ambush points of the US military just now and used as their fortifications, and some soldiers were sorting out the weapons and ammunition issued by their superiors.
Looking at the pitiful amount of ammunition, Xia Yuan said: "The ammunition is getting less and less, and it won't be long before we will face a situation where we will run out of ammunition and food." β
Zhou Xingyong touched the grain strip on his body and said: "It's no problem to eat for three days, if after three days, the war is not over, we will have nothing to eat." β
Xia Yuan sighed slightly, the crisis of running out of supplies has not been solved, this is caused by the backwardness of the logistics supply of the entire Volunteer Army, and it is also brought about by the air blockade of the US Air Force, which cannot be changed, even if he becomes the commander-in-chief of the Zhi Division, it cannot change this fact.
Logistics support is the embodiment of a country's national strength, China has just been established for a year, all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, the small workshops in the faΓ§ade can be regarded as an industry, it is enough to imagine China's backwardness at that time, the car to pull materials is still purchased from the Soviet Union, the car is not enough, it is pulled by people, pulled by livestock, but still can not change the situation of difficult logistics supply and supply.
And now it is only the sixth month of the start of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
If Xia Yuan did not look at this war from God's point of view, he would not have believed that the two-legged volunteer army could win the U.S. military, which has land, sea and air forces and nuclear weapons, and is the world's largest power, and also participated in the Korean War 15 countries, including Britain, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Ethiopia, South Africa, Greece, the Netherlands, Thailand, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Philippines, and Colombia.
Denmark and India are the countries that send medical teams, and Japan is also supplying supplies, not counting North Korea itself.
It can be said that in this war, China single-handedly challenged the whole world.
Therefore, without God's perspective, Xia Yuan would not believe that a China that had just been established for a year could single-handedly challenge the whole world, the fact is that he did it, not only won the war, but also subdued these countries.
"Logistics and material support is a huge problem."
Xia Yuan didn't have a good way in his heart, the U.S. army had already mastered the worship offensive of the volunteers, so the soldiers who went to the battlefield did not carry food and dry rations, even if the U.S. troops were on the high ground, they also airdropped a quota of supplies every day, and they ate it on the same day.
They laboriously laid down the 336 heights, and all they got was weapons and ammunition that they could not use, as well as a hill, and did not capture much food and weapons and ammunition that they could use themselves, and the canned goods captured were pitiful, along the way, a lot of light and heavy machine guns were captured, but the US army consumed too much light and heavy machine gun ammunition, in fact, they did not have much light and heavy machine gun ammunition, and it was not as good as burning sticks when they ran out of light and heavy machine guns.
The other soldiers of the first company were still digging trenches, the ground was frozen hard, Wang Xiaoliang patted the dust on his body, and saw the squad leader Tan Zhanbiao coming over, a little embarrassed, and wanted to go back.
Tan Zhanbiao said: "What are you going to do, there's nothing to be ashamed of." β
Talking about the previous bombardment by the US military, Wang Xiaoliang said: "No, the brother just now even lost his body in order to save me......
His heart was very entangled.
"In this battle, how many soldiers have been sacrificed by our team, the days to come are still long, there are still many battles, and the difficult days are still to come."
Tan Zhanbiao said: "The next time there is an artillery bombardment, don't stand up, the target is too big, the enemy's sell-off will see you and hit in your direction, not only will you die in vain, but you will also bring other comrades." β
Wang Xiaoliang looked guilty and said: "The power of this cannonball is so great, I was blown up just now, and I don't know anything." β
Suddenly, the roar of the engine of the US military plane floated through the sky, and Xia Yuan rushed into the trench with ammunition in his arms, shouting: "Pay attention to concealment, pay attention to concealment!" β
Putting the ammunition on the ground, he looked up at the US military plane in the sky, it was a US military P51 fighter, the sunlight illuminated the silver-white paint on its body a little dazzling, he dived vertically, and flew towards the position of the first battalion.
Tan Zhanbiao reacted quickly, and pushed Wang Xiaoliang to the ground, saying, "Enemy plane, hide!" β
