Chapter 56: Asking for Supplies
The battle group composed of several soldiers moved closer to Xia Yuan's position, and Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao moved very fast, killing two American GIs, and finally approached Xia Yuan's position, but when they saw the corpses of American GIs lying around Xia Yuan, they were shocked.
"He killed so many people."
At this time, everyone was shocked to find that Xia Yuan alone had resisted the attacks of so many foreign devils, and most of the foreign devils around him were attracted by Xia Yuan, so that the number of foreign devils they faced had decreased a lot, and the pressure on their bodies had plummeted a lot.
The bayonet has been curled, and it is very difficult to stab into the enemy's body, but fortunately, Xia Yuan's strength is strong enough, and the strength of one arm is enough to kill an adult, not to mention the bayonet held tightly with both hands, everyone watched Xia Yuan fight, the bayonet that shot out like a dragon did not enter the enemy's body, pulled out the bayonet, quickly retreated and pulled away from the position, and waited for the enemy to attack behind, and then deceived himself, a stabbing stab, the bayonet penetrated the vital parts of the enemy's body, and the bayonet was pulled out again, and the enemy fell to the ground softly.
"Xia Yuan's bayonet technique is so powerful, stabbing the enemy's vital point with a move!"
Instructor Shao took out his bayonet and looked at Xia Yuan with a shocked face, their daily training was to fight bayonets, throw grenades and all kinds of physical training, and they could be commanders and fighters, but they had experienced an unknown number of battles before they survived, and they could naturally see some ways when Xia Yuan fought bayonets.
Whether it is the speed of the shot, the power, or the angle of the target, it is very tricky, the move is deadly, it is impossible to prevent it, the stabbing trick has reached a very proficient level, the speed of the gun is fast, and what surprises them is that even if it is such a fast shooting speed, he can put away the gun, quickly withdraw, and turn the target of the bayonet, how terrifying the control of the body is.
As we all know, when you swing a knife with all your might, it is very difficult to retract the knife as quickly as possible in the process of swinging the knife, and swing a knife at the same time, but I saw that every time Xia Yuan took out the bayonet, after suddenly retracting it halfway through the stab, he stabbed out again, and the speed was extremely fast, like lightning piercing into the enemy's body.
The American veterans and volunteer soldiers fought bayonets, and they couldn't fight at all, especially since many of their troops were students, and where were the opponents of the volunteers who had experienced the tempering of the battlefield.
Liu Tiezhu held the light machine gun, stood behind them, aimed at the enemy who was still rushing up in the rear, and pulled the trigger.
The enemy had already rushed to the position, facing Liu Tiezhu's gun, seeing this, he laughed, "Come on, eat grandpa's gun!" ”
Wang Xiaoliang threw out the only grenade on his body, accompanied by a roar, the smoke of gunpowder dispersed, and the sound of machine guns rang out, Liu Tiezhu was a machine gunner, and he continuously tapped the trigger and strafed the enemy in the form of point fire, and the American troops who rushed to him fell to the ground one by one, and the American troops in the rear saw that the situation was not good, so they turned around and ran.
As soon as the people here ran, the U.S. troops in other directions also had a herd mentality, and they turned around and ran, and the U.S. troops who had not yet rushed up saw that the soldiers in front of them had retreated, put away their guns, turned around and ran.
At sunset, the sunset sun became golden, the position was filled with gunsmoke, the golden sunlight shone on the position, it became hazy, the enemy stopped shelling, there were bullet impact points everywhere, the enemy's corpses lay horizontally, after a day of fighting, only forty-one soldiers survived in a company, all of them were injured to varying degrees, the bandages wrapped around their bodies overflowed with blood, and the bandages were dirty and covered with dust and dirt.
The warriors lined up neatly, with solemn and serious expressions and firm eyes.
Rows of the remains of the fallen warriors were quietly laid out in front of them.
Company Commander Lei used a towel to help the sacrificed soldier wipe the mud off his face, looked at the sky in a complicated way, and said: "More than 100 people, everyone left home together, but so many people stayed in a foreign country. ”
"They are all good, they have not disgraced us, their people, and our country."
Instructor Shao wiped their cheeks and said, "It's going to be dark soon, everyone have a good rest tonight, collect guns and ammunition, and maybe there will be a time to use them." ”
Everyone's eyes were a little moved, a tear stain flowed from Wang Xiaoliang's dirty face, and Xia Yuan's eyes were a little heavy.
The remains of the soldiers lay quietly in the back mountain, after a day of fighting, the survivors were already exhausted, the big guy sat on the ground, touched the dry grain bar, sighed helplessly, the food has been eaten, everyone is tired and hungry, the spirit is relaxed all of a sudden, the whole person can not lift up a little strength.
Lao Yang took out a little fried noodles that Xia Yuan had given him earlier, looked at everyone, turned his head and found Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao, the food bags on the two of them had also dried up, and the food had already been eaten.
The water was also drunk.
"It's gone, there's nothing to eat, there's nothing to drink."
Instructor Shao was a little helpless.
Company Commander Lei put down the kettle and sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner.
Dusty and dirty, Xia Yuan, Chen Lie and Ma Da sat opposite the two, Ma Da was wounded, rubbed by shrapnel from the shell on his arm, and had been bandaged.
Ma Da took off his hat, patted his dirty, curled hair, and said: "Company commander, it is not a way to go on like this, if the enemy attacks like today tomorrow, we will definitely not be able to hold it, we have to think of a way." ”
"You're going to use your brain." Company Commander Lei raised his head and smiled, and said, "That's right, after today's battle, we have no food and drink, and if we continue to work so hard, we don't have to wait for the enemy to capture our position, and we ourselves will starve to death first." ”
Chen Lie suddenly said: "By the way, company commander, we can send some soldiers to the nearby villages to see if there are any people, and if there are people, we can buy some food from them." ”
Xia Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "This is the 38th parallel, and there should be no one around." ”
Ma Da scratched his head and asked, "What is the 38th parallel?" ”
Company Commander Lei said: "The 38th parallel is the dividing line between South Korea and North Korea, you can't see it, you can't touch it, relying on the 300th parallel, our army and the enemy stand opposite each other, because there are often wars in this vicinity, where are people living, we have come along the way, even if we encounter villages, they have all become ruins, not to mention food, but there is not even a figure." ”
When Ma made an 'oh' sound, he stopped talking.
The air fell silent.
Including the 180th Division, the front-line officers and men are now fighting in a '300-mile area without grain', and the north and south of the 38th parallel at this time are areas that have been repeatedly contested by the enemy and us, and the people living here have long since fled, thus forming a '300-mile area without grain'; in this regard, even the leaders of the headquarters of the Chinese People's Volunteers feel a headache, because there is no food to supply in the locality, and the logistics units are suffering from the blockade by the powerful air force of the US military, and the first purpose of their daily dispatch of planes is to reconnoiter and bomb our planes and bridges.
Logistics could not keep up, and the troops were unable to obtain supplies from the local area in the course of mobile warfare, and they had no possibility of obtaining food.
The 180th division pointed out that the radio station has been working continuously since last night, and the correspondent Xiao Du fell asleep while lying on the chair, and he has been guarding the radio station for the past few days, never leaving an inch.
Division Commander Zheng and Deputy Division Commander Duan were closely watching the map, at this time, the radio copied the signal again, and the translator's hand immediately turned the signal strength button and began to record, and in less than half a minute, he skillfully copied the received content and handed it to Master Zheng.
Division Commander Zheng took it and saw that it was a message sent back by the 539th Regiment, which simply wrote: "Our regiment is attacking, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties. ”
After reading it, Division Commander Zheng put the paper on the table, and Deputy Division Commander Duan came over and said after reading it: "The situation on the side of the 538th Regiment is not good, the ammunition is basically exhausted, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to support tomorrow's battle. ”
Master Zheng didn't speak, knocked on the table, and paced to the door, the guard at the door hadn't eaten for almost a day, Master Zheng asked with a smile, "Boy, are you hungry?" ”
The guard immediately saluted: "Report to the division commander, don't be hungry!" ”
Master Zheng knew this guard, and clearly remembered that his face was ruddy a few days ago, but now it had become sallow and sallow, and his lips were tightly closed.
Master Zheng's voice was a little stern, "If you're hungry, you're hungry, don't lie!" Of course, Master Zheng didn't mean to blame him, but there was concern in his stiff tone.
It seemed that what kind of decision had been made, Division Commander Zheng turned around and entered the room again, and immediately said, "Explain the situation to the military commander, hurry up." ”
Chief of Staff Wang nodded: "Yes, I should react to the commander." ”
The communications soldier picked up the phone and shook it a few times.
Passed.
Division Commander Zheng took the phone and said, "Commander Wei?" I'm Zheng Xianjun, and I have two situations to report to the commander. ”
A voice came from the other side of the phone, "I'm Wei Heping, please speak." ”
Division Commander Zheng said: "After the troops crossed the river, they continued to attack the enemy, and they were already quite tired. Now the food and ammunition are almost exhausted, there is no way to replenish, there are many difficulties, but the soldiers are still fighting tenaciously, the enemy's artillery fire is unprecedentedly fierce, it seems that the strength has increased, it is different from before, and it has caused a lot of casualties to our division. ”
"In addition, the scale of the enemy's counterattack is also increasing, will the enemy adopt the strategy of 'attacking and defending'? Please study it from the higher authorities, tomorrow our division will continue to follow the arrangement of the corps, order the 539th Regiment to cross the Shaoyang River and capture the position of Mochizukiri, and now the 538th Regiment is attacking the enemy, and the current difficulties are on the one hand that the large luggage cannot cross the river, the troops lack artillery support, and the soldiers are having a hard time. There is still food, there is not much food left, please ask the commander to allocate even two days of food, a base of ammunition. ”
Division Commander Zheng was looking forward to Commander Wei's reply.
After a pause of about three seconds, Commander Wei said: "Division Commander Zheng, in your first confrontation with the US army, you broke through the blockade of ground planes and artillery, and in order to win the overall victory, you achieved the goal of containing the US 10th Army at a relatively small cost." However, after all, we should not take our guard lightly in the face of the ace units of the US military with advanced equipment, and we should attach importance to the enemy tactically, treat it as an iron tiger and a steel tiger, and reduce casualties as much as possible. ”
"I agree that you will follow the deployment of the corps and develop in depth and in depth with the US Seventh Division."
As soon as Commander Wei's words fell, Division Commander Zheng emphasized: "Please rest assured, Commander, we will definitely complete the tasks assigned to us by the Corps...... But, but, the fighters are too tired now......"
When he said this, Master Zheng's mood was both firm and helpless. He felt that he was a little unable to carry out such a task at present, but he was worried that the army commander would mistakenly think that he was talking about conditions, and of course, if the army could not allocate food, he would definitely organize the troops and complete the task.
On the other end of the phone, there was no pause this time, but immediately replied: "Deputy Army Commander Cha has already set off to supervise the logistics work, replenish the food, and will send it to you soon." Tell the comrades that the key to whether or not the large corps can gather and annihilate a large number of the enemy into formed units depends on whether or not your 180th Division can resolutely complete the task of containment. If there is a situation, we will report in a timely manner to strengthen the contact, and look forward to your better performance. ”
These words were obvious, and Commander Wei once again emphasized the necessity of the 180th Division's blockade.
Hanging up the phone, Chief of Staff Wang said to Division Commander Zheng: "Division Commander, I don't know how the fraternal troops on the Eastern Front are fighting now?" The blind man touches the elephant, we can't arrange it. ”
The meaning of Chief of Staff Wang's remark was also to ask the army commander whether he had mentioned the situation on the Eastern Front on the other side of the phone.
Deputy Division Commander Duan took over the conversation and said: "There should be no problem, the more frantic the enemy fights on our side, it means that the enemy on the Eastern Front has fallen into passivity, and it can also explain the necessity of our blockade!" ”
Deputy Division Commander Duan's answer was the most basic assessment of the battlefield situation by an experienced veteran commander. This estimate is not wrong at all, and when our troops fought against the reactionaries in the past, they often used the tactic of encircling points to send reinforcements to send reinforcements, so we achieved the results of the reactionary army being surrounded and sending reinforcements to relieve the siege, and even finally defeated.
And the current US military is completely different, we fight with the US army, and it is simply impossible to count on this. The troops on the Eastern Front are fighting against the enemy, and it takes as long as the 180th Division, and the consumption of food and ammunition is the same as that of the 180th Division, or even worse, and the division headquarters is still completely unaware of these situations, and everything depends on their analysis of the battlefield situation.
In this way, there will always be errors, after all, people are always people, and it is impossible to analyze the battlefield situation correctly every time.
