Head Pang immediately said: "I don't blame you for this matter, everyone has completed the task, under the current conditions, this is already very good, do you have anything else to add?" ”

Xia Yuan thought about it and said: "Regiment commander, I can guarantee that if we advance another hundred meters at that time, we will definitely be able to see the enemy's heavy artillery, the enemy's reaction is very fast, and the speed of dispatching troops is also very fast, and we have a firm foothold after the exchange of fire with the enemy, although their guard post is very loose, but it didn't take long for reinforcements to appear, very close to us, and armored vehicles." ”

When Regiment Commander Pang heard this, he was keenly aware that the US military's troop disposition had increased by a large margin, which was even more unfavorable to our current troops.

Thinking of what Xia Yuan said, the enemy's garrison began to move forward, and it is estimated that the big counterattack that Xia Yuan said has already begun.

Xia Yuan suddenly said: "By the way, the regiment commander, I caught a tongue when I came back, and I handed him over to a soldier to look at, and it is estimated that he should have been sent back." ”

The tongue he said was Krees, and under his own attack, Krees's resistance to them was not very high, and after he returned, he was indeed not abused, but locked him in a cold tunnel, and more intimately, the soldier who watched him also warmed a cup of tea for him.

The taste is not as strong as coffee, and the living environment is not as good as the environment of the tent, at least he survived.

Xia Yuan said: "This American elder is different from other American elders, he is very cooperative with our actions, and he guided us when we were looking for food. ”

Head Pang was also surprised: "Wow, this is the result." ”

"The comrades are doing very well, let's go down and rest first, and your commandos will take these back and divide them."

The commissar took out a couple of canned meat and compressed biscuits and said as he handed them to him.

Xia Yuan said: "Thank you regiment commander, thank you political commissar, none of the people we came back were injured, let's give food to some seriously wounded people in the regiment, they need these more, and when we withdrew, some soldiers collected a lot of wild vegetables and grass roots." ”

After a pause, Xia Yuan said again: "By the way, Commander, if you can, can you give me that tongue?" ”

"Over to you?" Head Pang asked, "Do you know English?" ”

Xia Yuan didn't hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, during the training camp, I studied English seriously, and there is no problem in communicating with American devils." ”

Ma Da on the side stared at Xia Yuan with wide eyes.

At this time, Xia Yuan had no time to take care of some strange characteristics that appeared on him, but fortunately, people in this era are very receptive, and Chief Pang said: "It's worthless to put it in our place, we don't know English, since Xia Yuan said he would, let him try it." ”

"Political Commissar Zhao, you can follow and take a look."

Xia Yuan saluted the regiment commander and went out immediately, he said some more words to the commandos, and with a wave of his hand, everyone went back to their respective companies.

Chief of Staff Hu said: "It's really embarrassing for them...... Alas. ”

He was a comrade who felt sorry for the sacrifice of this little food, but these eight Xu Sheng's commandos exchanged their lives for the commander to return valuable information.

After Xia Yuan disbanded the commando, he followed Political Commissar Zhao to the place where the guard squad guarded the detained tongue, and on the way, Political Commissar Zhao said: "You can ask for as much information as possible." ”

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan responded.

Seeing Xia Yuan coming over, Krees was pleasantly surprised: "Mr. China." ”

"Krees, how are you feeling?"

Xia Yuan stepped forward and greeted him warmly.

"Do you usually sleep in this environment?"

Krees looked at the cold tunnel, and couldn't imagine how such a cold tunnel could be inhabited.

Xia Yuan shook his head and said, "We don't sleep, we don't have time to sleep, we have to fight during the day and rush at night." ”

He pointed to his blood-red eyes and said, "I haven't had a serious rest in days. ”

"Oh, God!"

Kreese looked at Xia Yuan with a shocked face, no matter what time we arrive, we have to sleep at night, if we don't sleep, we won't have the energy to fight the next day. ”

"There is no way, our weapons and equipment are too backward."

Xia Yuan shrugged his shoulders and told Krees about the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners by the Volunteer Army, which made Kreese feel much more relaxed after listening to it, took a long breath, and replied: "Thank God, on the way here just now, I thought you were going to shoot me." ”

Political Commissar Zhao on the side listened to the two talking in English, Xia Yuan answered fluently, and couldn't help but glance at Xia Yuangao, but he didn't expect that a platoon commander of a battalion and a company would be able to talk and laugh with the old Americans.

"How's it going, did you get anything useful?" Political Commissar Zhao took out a pen and paper from his pocket and handed them to Xia Yuan: "If you get useful information, record it in your notebook." ”

Xia Yuan nodded, took the notebook and pen, and said to Kress: "Krees, I want to know about your team and what you know." ”

Krees said very cooperatively: "No problem, I am the lieutenant of Company D of the 1st Marine Regiment of the 1st Marine Division, and I was sleeping when you caught me." ”

Xia Yuan nodded while recording in his notebook, their opponent was the 1st Marine Division, and the situation was the same as he expected, he then asked, "What is your mission tomorrow?" ”

Krees said: "I received an order tonight not to attack your position tomorrow, and we will carry out other tasks with the regiment. ”

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]

Xia Yuan was confused, with a puzzled expression, it stands to reason that their 538th Regiment has run out of ammunition and food, and it is the best time to attack, but the enemy wants to give up attacking the position of the 538th Regiment at a critical moment.

Seeing the doubts in Xia Yuan's eyes, Krees continued to add: "But I really don't know what to do, and that's the task we received. ”

Xia Yuandao didn't suspect that what Krees said was to deceive them, a lieutenant level in the U.S. Army, he really knew so much.

"Thank you, Krees, it's important to us."

"That's fine, I hate war now, I just want to wait for it to end and then go home." Krees held his head in some pain, on the way here, he saw the tragic condition of the wounded of those Chinese soldiers, there was no medicine to relieve the pain, some Chinese soldiers bit their clothes, blood penetrated the gauze, there was no medicine to change, only a new gauze.

He was now beginning to hate war, and if it weren't for it, maybe not so many people would have died, let alone so many people would have died, and his friends wouldn't have died on the battlefield.

The root cause of everything is war, and the Chinese gentleman in front of me said it very thoroughly, they are all American politicians, and without American politicians, there would be many fewer wars in the world.

After being silent for a while, Political Commissar Zhao finished reading the contents of Xia Yuan's record and said, "Now that the US army is attacking so frantically, what do you think they will think of us?" ”

Xia Yuan pondered: "We have been fighting for so long, even if they don't know the number of our troops now, they definitely know our combat intentions. ”

The 180th Division's intention in blocking these enemies in front was to prevent them from sending reinforcements to the Eastern Front, but it was too difficult for the strength of this division alone, and once this difficulty was seen through by the enemy, then the 180th Division would be in danger.

Xia Yuan continued: "If we are their commander, with such a huge advantage, they will mobilize troops, cut off our contact with the outside world, and then find a way to surround us, then it is only a matter of time before we find out the strength of our 180th Division. ”

Xia Yuan's answer made Political Commissar Zhao's view of the current situation clearer.

When Political Commissar Zhao heard this, he was shocked, and combined with what Xia Yuan said at the regiment headquarters before the commando action, he felt more and more that the enemy would do this, and said: "If we are really surrounded, then we must react in time, and first look at the opinions of the division commander and the military headquarters." ”

Xia Yuan said: "I'm afraid that after the higher authorities know, our 180th Division will no longer be able to pull out." ”

Political Commissar Zhao's face became a little ugly, and he got up and said, "I'll go back first, and I will report this content to the division headquarters immediately." ”

That night, the division headquarters received information from the tongue of the 538th Regiment.

Division Commander, Division Commander Zheng looked at the information presented by the 538th Regiment, including Xia Yuan's speculation, which was also written on the information, he frowned, his fingers held the slowly burning half of the cigarette, frowned and put it in his mouth and took a puff, what he had to worry about will happen after all.

Master Zheng suddenly became expressionless, and he had already thought about the worst plan in his heart, that is, how to counter the encirclement.

The night was about to fade, and now I had just seen a little blue, and a new day had begun.

May 21.

On this day, all the officers and men of the 180th Division were still launching a heroic attack on the US troops.

Early in the morning, the 539th Regiment began to forcibly cross the Shaoyang River under the fierce artillery fire of the US army, and a long line was rushing.

Ding Sheng, commander of the first battalion of the 539th Regiment, urged by the river: "Everyone work hard, hurry up!" Be sure to get ahead of the U.S. military and occupy the Mochizuki-ri position! ”

The soldiers of the first battalion heard the battalion commander's suggestion and jumped into the icy river one after another, no matter who it was, they all jumped into the river quickly, and the speed was not slow at all, because the people behind were waiting.

The waves are splashing and the cold is blowing.

At this time, Liu Fengxi, a soldier in the first platoon of the third company, carried a Thomson submachine gun on his back and walked to the river, he jumped into the river like the people in front of the queue, and the water immediately reached his waist, and the cold river water quickly soaked his clothes, clinging to his skin, the water was cold and biting, so that he couldn't help but shiver, and the soles of his feet stepped on the pebbles under the river, and staggered a few steps.

The bottom of the river made of pebbles is uneven, and it is particularly difficult to walk, Liu Fengxi finally stood steadily, and followed the comrades in the queue to walk forward with difficulty, only when he reached the position where there were few pebbles, he could walk a few steps quickly.

The entire queue trudged through the Shaoyang River.

The water splashes everywhere, and the waves rise and fall.

The cold artillery of the US army has reached the sauce surface trial, some shells fell one after another around the team, the howitzer is huge, the explosion is deafening, the water column is lifted, like a hill, at first many people are just soaked in water in the lower half of the body, after the water column is lifted, it becomes raindrops and falls down, and now it is soaked.

No one stopped, and no one was frightened by the enemy's cold artillery, so he carried the gun on his body, held it in his arms, and rushed towards the direction of the enemy with difficulty.

The cannonballs fell, engulfing the soldiers, and when the water column flattened, no one could be seen, and only a large area of blood red gushed out of the tumbling water, and the soldiers saw it in their eyes, and had no time to save people, and they were really blown up by the shells, it would be no bones left, maybe they were next, but even so, the soldiers were still fearless and their eyes were firm.

Some of the fighters scolded and scolded, Liu Fengxi shook off the drops of water on his face, and scolded: "MLGB's! ”

Finally, the pebbles under the water gradually decreased, and most of the people of the 539th Regiment rushed across the Shaoyang River and went ashore, and continued to run, they went forward one after another to cross the Shaoyang River, and captured the two positions of the US Seventh Division in Mochizuki and its east and west with swift movements, but their situation was too prominent, and they did not know that the enemy had begun to resist, and under the enemy's intensive artillery fire, the casualties of the troops were very serious.

After the commander of the 539th Regiment crossed the river, he had just stood firm in an open field, and he was about to say a few words to Han Zhengwei of the regiment headquarters, when suddenly, a howitzer that hit them fell near them, and the shock wave generated by the explosion point shook him to the ground.

Political Commissar Han shouted to Commander Wang: "Commander, are you okay?" ”

Head Wang stood up, shook off the dirt on his body, and said in a thick Beihe accent: "I'm fine, the team has crossed the river, right?" Are there any people left behind? ”

Commissar Han said: "No, they are all here." I'm attacking Mochizuki. ”

Captain Wang shouted: "Be quick! The enemy will fight back soon, so be sure to do the next round of counterattacks! ”

At the time of the reunion just now, many soldiers were hit by US artillery shells, both light and serious, and now there is no need to care about so much, the 539th Regiment is still inserting into the depths, and the assault company that rushed to the front has already exchanged fire with the enemy, and the roar of light and heavy weapons shook the valley.

The 539th Regiment was attacking towards Mochizuki, and the 538th Regiment was not idle, the enemy gave up the attack on the 336.8 heights, and the ghost knew what the enemy was thinking, so Commander Pang immediately ordered the troops to attack the high ground where the enemy was stationed.

At this time, there were only two battalions left on the 336.8 heights of the 538th Regiment, one of which suffered heavy casualties, most of them were lightly or seriously wounded, and the situation of the third battalion was not much better.

Xia Yuan was tasked with blowing up the enemy's heavy artillery position, and under the guidance of Xia Yuan, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao came to the high ground they attacked last night.

And now, there are only more than forty people left in the first company, who are shouldered with the difficult task of storming the enemy's artillery positions.
