Battalion Commander Li raised his head, stared at Company Commander Lei, and asked, "It's okay to sneak attack the enemy's station, but the problem is to send many people, who to send to it." ”

The commander of the second company said: "Battalion commander, leave it to our second company, I'll take a squad of people to go!" ”

The commander of the third company hurriedly shouted: "No, after today's battle, the second company has suffered huge casualties, and the second company cannot be allowed to go." ”

"It's not appropriate for anyone to go, only we are suitable to go in a row!"

Company Commander Lei raised his voice, overshadowed the voices of the second company commander and the third company commander, and said: "The first platoon commander Xia Yuan has fought a lot of fortifications and interspersed battles, and has rich combat experience, and recently went to North Korea, and has participated in a lot of battles large and small, and has performed well, which is obvious to all, the second platoon commander Ma Shunyao, who was born as a machine gunner, is very powerful in attacking fortifications, and the firepower is very good. The three of them are also veterans of many battles. ”

He turned his head to look at Battalion Commander Li and said: "There can't be too many people to go, too many are easy to expose the target, too few and can't complete the task, I suggest that Xia Yuan come over and say, don't forget, when he hit 336.8, he took six people to eliminate two platoons of American troops and blew up two enemy bunkers." ”

The commander of the second company and the commander of the third company were no longer silent, and there were many capable people in their company, but compared with the platoon commander of the first company, it was really insignificant, just with the people of the two combat teams to eliminate the two platoons of the American army, and even with the end of the enemy's two bunkers, and assisted them in taking the 336.8 heights, but few people can compare.

"Then call him over."

Battalion Commander Li has already acquiesced to this operation in his heart, as Company Commander Lei said, waiting is waiting, it is better to find something to do, even if it is to harass foreign devils and make them unable to live in peace.

I don't know when, the machine gunner Zheng Damole of the second company and the little man Wang Xiaoliang of the first company got together, maybe both of them are Sichuan four, they are fellow villagers, and they have a common topic, the two sat in the trench not far from Xiayuan, sticking to the cold trench wall, and the uneven feeling made Wang Xiaoliang twist his body.

Zheng Damole looked at Xia Yuan in the distance and asked, "That's your platoon leader?" ”

"Ang, that's our platoon leader, big hero." Wang Xiaoliang looked at Xia Yuan's back, his eyes were full of adoration, and his stomach growled, making him withdraw his gaze and ask, "Are you hungry?" ”

"I'm not hungry, I've worked hard, it's okay, I'm not hungry when I fall asleep."

After speaking, Zheng Damole shook the kettle on his waist, and he couldn't hear the sound of water anymore, so he drank it all.

Wang Xiaoliang took down his kettle, handed it to him and said, "I still have half a pot left, you can drink it." ”

Zheng Da Mole took it, and he was not polite, Gu Dong Gu Dong drank it in a few sips, gasped for two long breaths, felt comfortable and threw the lid to Wang Xiaoliang, and said: "Oh, I don't know what's going on in my hometown, I want to eat a mouthful of spicy hot." ”

After listening to this, Wang Xiaoliang grinned at the corner of his mouth, smiled like a child, and said: "If there is a bowl of authentic spicy tang in front of me now, I am willing to exchange all the food on my body for it." ”

Zheng Damole glanced at the almost shriveled grain strip hanging around his neck, and said, "You little ghost is quite clever, how much food do you still have on you?" I'd rather exchange it for 10 days of fried noodles. ”

Wang Xiaoliang touched the shriveled grain bars, all of them were shriveled, and only a small piece of the grain was bulging out, which was estimated to be enough for three meals.

"Hehe, it's gone, I don't know when the next food will be delivered, now I can eat some Sichuan four small peppers."

Zheng Damole said with a smile.

Wang Xiaoliang also said: "Yes, I am so homesick now." When the army was in Anton, I should have bought a bunch of dried chili peppers to take with me, but now my mouth is dry and I don't even have a taste. ”

They looked in the direction of the motherland, recalling the taste of eating Sichuan food, now everyone's food is almost consumed, some people are reluctant to eat the last bit of food, tighten the belt, tighten tight, they don't feel hungry, plus they are too tired from work just now, and they fall asleep on the ground.

The people around them didn't wake them up, so they helped to do a little bit first, so that they could sleep for a while and then wake up, and it was too late.

Zheng Da Mole was blown by a gust of wind and no longer remembered Sichuan cuisine, he looked back at the dark battlefield opposite, and suddenly, he said to Wang Xiaoliang: "There are not many Sichuan four people left in the army, if I die tomorrow, I still have a day's rations here, and I will give it to you." ”

Wang Xiaoliang shuddered when he heard this dead word, he was frightened and didn't say a word.

Zheng Da Mole smiled and said, "Look at you like that, I'm afraid of what kind of child." ”

Wang Xiaoliang said: "Then I'm not afraid, don't die either, okay?" ”

"Who can say for sure the situation on the battlefield...... Zheng Da Mo stood up, patted the dirt on his buttocks, grabbed the sapper shovel and said, "Okay, let's get to work, hurry up and finish this last point." ”

He turned to see the platoon leader of the company, who had just seen people, but now that they were gone, shook his head, and began to dig trenches.

Battalion.

A group of people surrounded Xia Yuan, and the second company commander said: "Xia Yuan is also twenty-six years old this year, it has been a few years since he joined the team, and he has accumulated a lot of experience, I didn't expect to fight so beautifully in the Korean battlefield, even I was very surprised." ”

The commander of the third company said: "I said before that this is a piece of material for being a soldier. ”

"Go, when did you say it, it was obviously Sun Daqing who said it."

"Hahahaha!"

Battalion Commander Li said: "Okay, it's important to get down to business." ”

He turned his head to Xia Yuan and said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, we haven't met many times, I have only been impressed by you recently, I always hear Lao Lei talk about you, I hear my ears are almost calloused, hahahaha, come on, Lao Lei said that the idea of attacking the foreign devil station at night is what you think, and your performance has been very good recently, the superiors attach great importance to you, what is the plan, you just say, as long as we all think it is okay, we will do it, and if it doesn't work, just discuss it." ”

Taking Xia Yuan into the battalion headquarters, Battalion Commander Li pointed to the model on the ground and began to introduce him: "Here, this is the enemy station investigated by the scouts, the strength of the troops is unknown, it can be determined that the scale of this US military force is above the battalion level, in addition, on the road dozens of kilometers away from here, there is a regiment of US troops coming towards the 336.8 height, here, is the enemy's target, 336.8 height." ”

Xia Yuan stared at the model, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

Battalion Commander Li continued: "If you are asked to lead a team to attack this enemy at night tonight, how many people do you need, how do you prepare to act, what are the goals of the action, and what do you need us to prepare. ”

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't specifically scouted the enemy's station, I need detailed information." ”

Battalion Commander Li immediately said, "Go, call Comrade Xiao Qin over." ”

"Yes."

After a while, a relatively thin soldier came, one meter six in his early years, with weeds on his hat as a disguise, he was a scout responsible for reconnoitring the US military station, but don't underestimate Comrade Xiao Qin's short stature, during the Liberation War, he single-handedly touched the reactionary station, captured the opponent's company commander, and indirectly made the enemy surrender with a gun.

Those who can be scouts are all soldiers in the volunteer army.

Comrade Xiao Qin came in, saluted everyone in the shack, and greeted him: "Hello chief!" ”

"Comrade Xiao Qin, this is the platoon commander of a row, Xia Yuan." Battalion Commander Li stepped forward to introduce Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin looked at Xia Yuan, with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "Good platoon commander Xia, I am in the reconnaissance platoon, and I often hear the comrades in the platoon talk about you, you have killed a lot of foreign devils, blown up the bunkers of many foreign devils, and many comrades in the platoon like you very much!" ”

For Xiao Qin's words, everyone was not surprised, Xia Yuan's performance on the battlefield was obvious to all, relying on a gun, sniping out the bunkers of many foreign devils, making great contributions to their offensive tasks, he was a rare combat genius.

"Thank you."

Xia Yuan was more reserved, and said, "Let's get down to business." ”

Battalion Commander Li nodded: "Yes, let's get down to business, I called you here just to let you tell me about the specific situation of the enemy's station." ”

Comrade Xiao Qin's eyes moved, looking at the various company commanders and instructors in the shack, as well as the cadres of the battalion headquarters, and immediately realized that the battalion commander might be planning an operation, without asking too much, he took two steps forward, looked at the model on the ground, and squatted on the ground and began to explain to everyone.

"The enemy's position is in a deep ravine more than a dozen kilometers away, I observed it, the location is very good, the mountains on both sides are steep, it is difficult to go up, the enemy has troops stationed on the mountain, tanks and armored vehicles are lined up at the intersection into the mountain, infantry is stationed, there are searchlight equipment for lighting in the middle of the mountain, improvised machine gun bunkers are used as fire points, they cleaned up the weeds around them, so that the surrounding area is bare, it is not easy to get in, and even I deduce that these areas are also buried with mines, because it is too dark, Coupled with the fact that there were many enemy posts, I did not go inside, and observed the surroundings for more than an hour. ”

He drew two crooked lines on the ground with his hands, stones were placed on both sides of the line, representing the mountains, and the center of the line represented the ravine, and the front and back were like stones, representing the enemy's armored vehicles and tanks. ”

The enemy chose this position very particularly, the high mountains on both sides belong to the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is easy to go up to both sides of the mountain top from the ravine, but from all sides, it is difficult to go up to the top of the mountain, and there are enemy tanks and armored vehicles in the mountain pass, I am afraid that there are mines buried on the ground, and there are machine gun fire points on the mountainside of the mountain pass.

Hit, it definitely won't get in.

"In this way, it is not easy to attack the enemy at night, just the enemy on the high ground on both sides, we can't hit it, attack from the intersection, we have to face three layers of enemy, the first layer is the mines and tank armored vehicles arranged by the enemy in the mountain pass, the second layer is the machine gun bunker on the mountainside of the mountain pass, although these machine gun bunkers are not concrete structures, but if you want to knock out, it is not easy."

The second company commander explained the key to it, and he continued: "The most difficult thing is the third layer, the enemy on the mountain, the mountains are steep, the enemy only needs to arrange a firepower point in a position that we can't attack, condescending, we can't hit them, but they can hit us." ”

The instructor of the third company shook his head: "If you want to break in, it's impossible." ”

The others didn't speak, but the solemn expressions on their faces already showed their mood at the moment, indeed, the third-tier enemy, not to mention sending out a small force, even if it took an entire battalion, it was unlikely to break in.

Company Commander Lei frowned and said, "If the enemy is deployed like this, then how can this night attack be fought?" ”

Comrade Xiao Qin knew that the battalion headquarters held a meeting, and it was very likely that it would be a night attack on the enemy, so he said: "Chief, the enemy has a large number of machine gun bunkers on the mountainside, so I deduce that this enemy's strength is above the battalion level, there must be more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles, and lighting equipment is also equipped. ”

After a pause, he said: "It is necessary to knock out not only the enemy's fire points, but also the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, the task is too large, and if there is artillery, it will be easy to deal with the enemy in the mountains." ”

Artillery, the commanders and fighters of the battalion headquarters are dumb, they only have small-caliber mortars, the number of shells is not large, it is not an easy thing to accurately hit the enemy's bunker, there will always be deviations, and there is no fire point for them to knock down the mountain and the mountainside.

Battalion Commander Li stared at the simple enemy defense map drawn by Comrade Xiao Qin with a sad face, thought about it again and again, and didn't come up with one or two, no matter how you look at it, it is an almost impossible task, fortunately, he has not reported it to the regiment commander, otherwise the regiment commander agreed, they will be completely set up, and they will not be able to fight without fighting.

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground and was still thinking.

Battalion Commander Li said: "Xia Yuan, the enemy's defense is very tight, and if it can't be done, it will be dispersed, and our superiors have not assigned us the task of attacking the enemy at night. ”

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao also began to retreat, there was no way, the strength of the two sides was here, and this enemy was very smart, knowing how to use the terrain to arm and turn the entire ravine into a military fortress made of reinforced concrete.

They thought it was a completely different idea.

At this moment, Xia Yuan was staring at the enemy's defense on the ground, quite a feeling of a circular defensive position, mines, infantry, tanks and armored vehicles, the core was placed in the ravine, such a tight and strict defensive posture was the same as the defensive posture adopted by the various departments after the 1st Marine Division was divided and surrounded by the Ninth Corps in the Battle of Changjin Lake.

"Is the 1st Marine Division on the other side?"

Xia Yuan squinted, a very familiar taste, he didn't expect to be isolated for so long, and he could still encounter it.

The loophole of this circular defensive position is that the enemy concentrates all the core things and puts them in the middle, including artillery, various materials, guns and ammunition, fuel supplies and headquarters, and if the enemy has a powerful artillery strike, it can directly make the enemy's center bloom.

It is a pity that the means of firepower of the Volunteer Army are really limited, and it is difficult to blossom from the center of the enemy's defensive positions.

Now it seems that the enemy's defense is really invulnerable.
