Chapter 69: Insufficient troops

"Mission, successfully completed!"

Xia Yuan gritted his teeth, threw aside the steel helmet on his head, took the hat handed over by Lao Yang and put it on his head, and said with a smile: "It's still comfortable to wear your own hat, what about the clothes, the clothes of foreign devils are really awkward." ”

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd laughed.

Instructor Shao stared at the truck behind them, and his eyes were a little eager: "The cars are all stolen from foreign devils?" What's there? ”

Xia Yuan took off the clothes of the foreign devil, changed into his own clothes, pulled the company commander and the instructor to the front of the truck, boarded the truck, pried open the box with a bayonet, took out cans and threw them to the company commander and instructor.

"Company commander, you must all be hungry, eat something first, there are a lot of things to pull, a lot of canned food, eat some first. In addition to canned food, there are also a lot of ammunition and medicines, and with medicines, our comrades will have something to treat, and there is no need to hold on any longer. ”

Everyone looked at the cans in their hands, with a happy smile on their faces, and looked at the company commander with blank eyes.

Without the order of the company commander, they really did not dare to eat.

Company Commander Lei smiled: "You, you really threw this problem away, okay, eat first, eat a can, and the rest of the materials will be pulled back to the regiment headquarters later." ”

Instructor Shao was also happy and said, "I didn't expect you to seize so many materials, how did you do it, you have to explain it to us in detail later." ”

"No problem, I'll let Lao Chen talk about it later." Xia Yuan sat in the car with a smile on his face.

With the approval of the company commander, the soldiers were not too dirty, sat on the ground, opened the can and smelled it, and their appetite was great.

"It's delicious, what is this food, and meat."

"I'm always, I'm sweet to death."

"Hey, this is a pear, right? It tastes so good. ”

"It's the first time I've eaten it, and I didn't expect the food eaten by foreign devils to be so good."

The warriors chewed heavily, unable to help but feel a little envious.

Wang Xiaoliang was holding canned beef in his hand, and the large pieces of beef were salty and salty, but his mouth was full of oil, and he cried sadly while eating.

Lao Yang turned around and shouted: "Little man Wang, what are you crying about." ”

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao also cast curious glances, and Company Commander Lei asked, "Isn't it delicious, mine will be exchanged with you." ”

Wang Xiaoliang refused the beef in his mouth, wiped the tears on his face, and said: "Company commander, it's because it's so delicious, many sacrificed comrades haven't eaten it, so they left us first, if only they were here." ”

The soldiers were stunned, looking at the cans in their hands, their mouths were filled with sweet and delicious food, and their hearts suddenly sank for a while.

Instructor Shao opened the cans and said, "Yes, it would be nice if they were there, they could also eat such delicious canned food, these are not all caused by the enemy, we must be full, not only to be full, but also to eat well, so that we can have the strength to fight the enemy desperately!" ”

He said: "They will not die in vain, the motherland and the people will remember them, we will also remember them, they sacrificed to protect our motherland, the glory of sacrifice, the greatness of sacrifice!" ”

Instructor Shao suddenly raised his voice again: "Stand up and straighten your waist!" ”

A company of soldiers rose from the ground with a bang, and stood straight and straight.

"Think about those sacrificed soldiers, and think about it now, everyone can understand that a happy life is not easy to come by, and what we are doing now is not just for the people of the country behind us to be able to eat such delicious food, so our road is not over yet."

Instructor Shao took the canned food in his hand and continued: "So, we have to eat it well, these canned food are the first platoon leader, the second platoon leader and the third platoon leader, and Comrade Liu Tiezhu risked his life to win it, not only to make everyone full, but more importantly, to let everyone have the strength to fight with the little devils!" ”

The soldiers are all big and coarse, they have no culture, and they can't read a few big characters, but what Instructor Shao said is easy to understand, and the soldiers can understand it, and they are more determined to work hard with the old Americans.

The warriors ate the food in the can, still a little hungry, but much better than before.

"Don't unload these supplies."

Seeing Xia Yuan beckoning everyone to unload the supplies, Company Commander Lei hurriedly stopped them.

Xia Yuan looked puzzled: "Company commander, won't these materials be transported back?" ”

"The higher authorities have ordered the troops to retreat, and we will retreat to Jiuluan Mountain to form the first line of defense to stop the enemy from attacking north."

Company Commander Lei said with a hint of joy in his tone: "The materials you captured this time are very important, I thought that this time you would simply harass the enemy in the past, neither Lao Shao nor I expected that you would capture so many materials, and it is estimated that the battalion commander did not expect it, so they left first, you really gave me a huge surprise, it is estimated that you will be promoted to company commander soon, Xia Yuan." ”

Xia Yuan's eyes froze slightly, he thought for a while, thinking that the 180th Division would encounter a more ferocious attack by the enemy next, and fall into the enemy's encirclement, out of more than 10,000 people, only 4,000 people escaped in the end, and the others were either sacrificed or captured.

"The order to stop the enemy from attacking the north has been given?"

He asked knowingly.

"It has already been issued, defending on the spot and blocking the enemy's northern attack is an order issued by the military department."

Company Commander Lei said: "Your four truckloads of materials are very important, and they can solve many problems that the 538th Regiment is currently facing. ”

Xia Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and he said: "Although these four truckloads of materials can solve the current problems faced by the 538th Regiment, but in the entire 180th Division, these four truckloads of materials are not enough. ”

"What are your plans?"

Company Commander Lei asked thoughtfully.

"Company commander, the enemy we are facing head-on is the 1st Marine Division, the strength of a whole division, and there is also the US 7th Division, which is also the strength of a division, much higher than the 180th Division.

Xia Yuan jumped out of the car, looked at Ma Da, and said: "Company commander, you can ask Lao Ma, what we have seen and heard in the US military station, their supplies, their artillery, their tanks and armored vehicles, they really want to defend, and the defense line formed can only last for a very short time." ”

"Getting to the point!"

Company Commander Lei raised his head, he knew that Xia Yuan must have a new idea in his heart when he said this.

Xia Yuan said: "Company commander, we can learn tonight, change into the clothes of the American army, I will lead the team, and we will rush into the foreign devil's station." It is difficult to win against foreign devils, whether it is weapons and equipment, or logistics supplies, or troops, we can't compare with them, there is no comparison, just like eggs and stones. ”

"You're trying to punch behind the enemy's ass?"

Company Commander Lei showed an unbelievable look on his face and said: "Our company has more than 30 people, at most a platoon of troops, and two divisions of American troops to play interspersed, this is to hit a stone with an egg, and the order we received to stop the enemy from attacking northward is not our order." Xia Yuan, if you really want to do this, you will disobey the military order. ”

From the way to fight in North Korea, Xia Yuan's growth has been watched by them, and now, Xia Yuan is completely able to take charge of himself, and Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao are not dead heads, let alone like the villains in TV series, they can't see others being smart, on the contrary, they have even begun to think about whether they are suitable to be a company commander.

After all, in contrast, Xia Yuan is obviously more suitable as a company commander to lead a company.

It's just that this guy is sometimes very impulsive, and he has to let himself and Lao Shao control it.

Instructor Shao also persuaded beside him: "A division can't be defeated, you still want to rely on our more than 30 people to intersperse, Xia Yuan, I know what you think, the enemy really wants to attack from the front, relying on artillery and aircraft, we can blow up our position, but have you ever thought that we really want to go to the US military station, that is the same as going and not returning, and even the US military station can't enter, in that way, it is called hitting a stone with an egg." ”

He puts the empty cans in the car, which can be used as a bowl.

Instructor Shao continued: "We have come to this point in a row, and there are only more than 30 people left, how can they beat a division of the enemy, this kind of harassment is like that mosquito, and the bite is not painful. ”

Xia Yuan sighed slightly, Instructor Shao said very realistically, how many enemies can be eliminated by more than 30 people, and how many can't be eliminated, this is not a TV series, everyone has the halo of the protagonist, and what he is relying on is also the improvement brought by the system plus the stupidity of the US army, and he will accept it when he sees it, so he drove out four truckloads of supplies and blew up some of the enemy's ammunition.

The enemy's tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery were all well placed, and there was no way to blow them up with the ability of the four of them.

Even if they passed the whole company, they might not be able to blow up the enemy's artillery positions.

In the Battle of Changjin Lake, the main force was pinned down from the front, which gave the 7th Interspersed Company a chance, and now, they can only rely on themselves.

Thinking about it, Xia Yuan except for being able to harass the enemy, any other strategy is to hit the stone with an egg, what kind of harassment is to harass them, and their frontal enemy is two divisions of the US army with tens of thousands of people.

Singing the empty city plan?

No, the US military has planes, do you have soldiers over there, and other people's reconnaissance planes fly over your head and turn around, and they will get a thorough understanding of your situation.

The most important thing is that the restrictions are too great, and the order issued by the military headquarters is to carry out defense on the spot, and if you really want to do something else, that is, to disobey the military order.

It is difficult to take everyone to disobey the military order and cross the Han River.

If the 180th Division retreats, the flanks of the 63rd Army at this stage will be exposed, and the 63rd Army will be pinned, and who will fight the next Cheorwon blockade will not retreat, and after two days, the 63rd Army will go to fight the Cheorwon blockade, and the flanks of the 180th Division will be exposed.

The most critical point is that the 180th Division is retreating at this stage, and who will fill such a big hole left.

In order to encircle the 180th Division, the US 7th Division and the 1st Marine Division missed the best time to attack northward, and the Puppet 6th Division interspersed all the way through the gap between the 63rd Army and the 180th Division, and had the opportunity to continue to attack northward, but it just collided with the butt of the 180th Division, and the Puppet 6th Division cut off the retreat of the 180th Division.

That is, by mistake, in order to encircle the 180th Division, the Puppet Sixth Division missed the time to go north, and the 3rd Corps successfully withdrew to the rear to rest when the 180th Division attracted most of the enemy's firepower.

From God's point of view, the 180th Division really played a key role.

Can't be withdrawn.

If you really can't retreat, if you want to retreat, you have to wait until the wounded are transferred and the three corps retreats.

This is a headache, Xia Yuan can't think of any too good strategies, it's really that the individual strength is too small, and it can't play a key role at all.

Unless you reach the rank of commander.

Xia Yuan scratched his head and said, "Company commander, then listen to you, retreat first, it is estimated that the foreign devils will ease up tomorrow, maybe tomorrow's attack will be more ferocious." ”

"It's good if you can figure it out, we have no other way now, more than 30 people, if we really want to intersperse, we can't decide anything, let alone change anything, and the foreign devils will still attack our position."

Company Commander Lei's gaze became firm again, and he said: "What about more than thirty people, even if there is only the last person left, as long as the position is not lost, it must be like a nail, firmly nailed to the position." ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

The soldiers of the company are high-spirited, and there is really no one in their hearts.

The front defense line of the 180th Division is too large, and a company has to hold a 10-kilometer defense line, which means that the defenders on a position can only be distributed one platoon after another, and the most critical issue is that in the movement war, each company and platoon have sacrificed, and in the case of a company, in the process of serving as the main attack, after several battles, there are only more than 30 people left, and how to hold the 10-kilometer defense line is a crucial issue.

The commander of the first battalion was also faced with a huge choice, because the defense line assigned to him by his superiors was too large, and he really had to deploy defenses on these high grounds, and with the strength of a company, it was estimated that a piece of high ground could only be divided into one squad of troops.

"A squad, how long can a squad block, we are facing an enemy several times higher than our division, how can a squad block."

Battalion Commander Li smoked a cigarette, the smoke was filled, slowly rising, his eyes were scarlet bloodshot, he hadn't slept for several days, and his face looked even more haggard.

Lacking food and ammunition, and lacking medicine, at a critical time, the higher authorities asked them to serve as 10 people alone, and one company had to hold a 10-kilometer defensive line, and the company suffered heavy casualties.

The battalion chief of staff sighed slightly, "The regiment commander really gave us a huge problem, what should we do?" ”

Battalion Commander Li snuffed off his cigarette butt and said: "We cannot withdraw and withdraw, so we can only strictly implement the orders of the division headquarters and launch a defense in the area around Jiuluan Mountain to prevent the enemy from attacking northward. ”

After thinking about it again and again, he said: "In this way, let the comrades of the direct team and the comrades of the guard squad not need so many people at the battalion headquarters, and at present they must give priority to the orders of the division headquarters." ”
