With a force of ten men, it is extremely difficult to ambush the enemy's transport troops, not to mention attacking the enemy's transport troops, just passing through the enemy's defensive line, let alone attacking the enemy's transport troops.

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "Company Commander Cui, there are only a dozen people left in the company, and one is seriously injured, the result of our stay here, in fact, you can also imagine it, it is better to do something meaningful." ”

He smiled very calmly, as if he had anticipated the next battle, and today had just begun, and the real change was tomorrow, and tomorrow would decide the fate of the 180th Division.

While he is still alive, he still wants to do something meaningful.

Fighting the enemy's transport troops, getting supplies and ammunition, is the most important thing at the moment, the encircled 180th Division, there is no ammunition supply, no medicine supply, and no food supply, what Xia Yuan has to do is to solve the urgent need again when this day comes, and also do his best to change the fate of some people, and change the fate of some people.

"Isn't it meaningful to do something meaningful to die?" Company Commander Cui spoke straightforwardly, and he was also very puzzled.

"Company Commander Cui, I didn't say to send him to death, the enemy is actually the most relaxed time at this time."

Xia Yuan smiled mysteriously.

"Why do you say that?"

Although Company Commander Cui has mastered the enemy's situation, he still does not know about the enemy.

And Xia Yuan stood in God's vision, knew all the experiences of the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and naturally knew the US military very well, the US army is a group of very arrogant guys, especially at this time.

Xia Yuan explained: "The U.S. military is different from the enemies we fought in the past, they come from the most advanced countries in the world, but they are a capital as the most, human rights are not in their world, many of them American soldiers come to the Korean battlefield basically with the idea of messing around, and then go home, especially when victory is coming, now our large army is beginning to retreat, the enemy has seized the opportunity, thinking that victory has belonged to them." ”

He smiled and said, "There is a saying that humility makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind." This is the case with the US military, the more arrogant they are, the better our chances. ”

There are too many strange things about the U.S. military on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, Xia Yuan doesn't want to talk to Company Commander Cui and them one by one, these things are only known to him, the U.S. military is like this, with more than a dozen people through the enemy's station, it is still easy, almost no pressure.

And he also has a certain degree of certainty about attacking US military trucks, so he naturally dares to do so.

After listening to Xia Yuan's explanation, Company Commander Cui was silent for a while, and said, "Then you have already decided, when will you leave?" ”

"Late tonight, when we attack the enemy's transport troops, we will naturally have as much food and drink as we want, so let's leave this food for the soldiers of the second company, and when we capture the supplies, we will bring some back to you."

Xia Yuan put the wild vegetables in his mouth.

"No, you have to act tonight, how about eating only wild vegetables, eat some food, and fill your stomach before you can continue to fight."

Company Commander Cui continued: "Company Commander Xia, I admire you very much, and I only hope you can be considerate of these soldiers of yours. ”

Xia Yuan looked down at the soldiers sitting on the ground, after several battles, the black smoke smoked them so that they could no longer see their original appearance, napalm roasted the skin and flesh on their cheeks, Ma Da and Chen Lie sat on the ground, their faces were steady, although they didn't say anything, what they thought in their hearts, but they didn't know.

In fact, Xia Yuan knew that they would listen to themselves, and they would also give up food to their comrades, after all, they were now the main force, and the first company had been disabled, and they had basically bid farewell to the next battle.

He sighed slightly and agreed to Company Commander Cui's suggestion.

Company Commander Cui smiled and asked the soldiers to give the canned food in their hands to the soldiers of the first company: "Comrades, eat quickly, after eating, you can continue to fight with foreign devils, you have defended the position, and then it will be handed over to us, as long as there is still one person alive in the second company, then the position has not been lost!" ”

"Company Commander Cui, then I'll trouble you." Chen Lie stood up and saluted.

"Don't worry."

Company Commander Cui solemnly looked at the soldiers of the first company who ate wild vegetables, in order to give the few pieces of food captured to the second company, the soldiers of the first company would rather eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

With such fraternal troops, this battle will not be won.

On the way out, Instructor Lin said to Company Commander Cui: "After I go back, hold a meeting, and tell the soldiers of the first company about the things to the soldiers of the second company, they can eat canned food, there are people who eat wild grass and chew wild vegetable roots for everyone, this battle must be won!" ”

The scene just now had a deep impact on the soldiers, especially the soldiers who came with them, who looked at the comrades in ragged clothes, wounded, and who were not doing well at all, chewing wild vegetables, and also gave them the captured cans.

A soldier said firmly: "Company commander, instructor, don't worry, tomorrow we will never let foreign devils step on the high ground!" ”

"Yes, I will never let foreign devils hit me!"

"Even if you die, you have to hold them back until victory!"

The other fighters said enthusiastically, and they were all moved.

Along the way, I couldn't eat enough, I couldn't sleep well, and I dragged my tired body around and fought with the enemy.

They often complain, complaining that they eat too little, complaining that the fried noodles are unpalatable and they can't swallow them. Complaining that there are too few bullets to have a good time. Complaining about sleeping too little and not being able to sleep comfortably.

And now, they have met such a team, a company of more than 100 people only a dozen soldiers left, said a dozen, but only thirteen, and all of them were slightly wounded, they held their ground, have given up hope of life, in order to make their people eat well, they would rather chew dry and unpalatable wild vegetables.

Many of the soldiers of the Second Company are coarse people, they don't know how many big characters they have, many of them are peasants, they don't know a few big truths, and they don't know a few things, and many people may not understand what they have to say, but this scene really happened in front of them, and the impact on them can be imagined.

This is incredibly inspiring.

After sending off Company Commander Cui and the others, Xia Yuan looked back and saw Instructor Shao sitting alone on the mound of the bunker fortifications he had dug, smoking silently, and when he got closer, he found that he was holding a half-section photo in his hand.

Xia Yuan walked over and sat next to Instructor Shao.

"Since the sacrifice of Commander Lei, I have been strong, the soldiers still need me, I can't fall yet, came to the Korean battlefield, a company of more than 100 people, after these battles, there are too many sacrifices, I buried a comrade with my own hands into the soil, the soldiers felt uncomfortable, crying, I also saw in my eyes, I didn't cry, I am an instructor after all."

Instructor Shao smoked a cigarette, with a trace of pain and sourness, "But I am also a human being, my heart is also fleshy, I will also suffer, I will shed tears, every night I can't sleep, watching the soldiers sacrifice one by one, my heart hurts." ”

He smoked a smoky cigarette with tears in his eyes.

Xia Yuan took out a seized American-style cigarette from his pocket, found a match, lit the cigarette after polishing it, shook his hand and threw the extinguished match on the ground, and looked at him silently smoking a cigarette.

Instructor Shao looked at the last relic left by Commander Lei, which was the old mother of Commander Lei, and said: "Old Lei's mother, two sons and a daughter, his brother is married, the Japanese devils came, and took his brother and his sister-in-law away, and his sister was not spared, and was arrested together in the concentration camp of the Japanese devils, became comfort women, tortured, and died before the Japanese devils surrendered. ”

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued: "North Korea is not for people, the firepower of the American devils is completely different from the enemy we have encountered before, they have advanced guns, cannons, tanks, armored vehicles, and planes in the sky one after another, I can't count, I don't know how many, I heard the regiment commander say that there are ships in the sea that can drop planes, like mountains, this is an opponent we have never encountered." ”

Instructor Shao looked at Xia Yuan and said: "Lao Xia, you know the American devils very well, and you are also very good at fighting, let's go south and north, and now there are only a dozen brothers left, if it weren't for you, it is estimated that you would have died on the position in the last wave of the enemy's attack, and I don't ask for anything else, I can go back one by one." ”

After Instructor Shao finished speaking, he stopped saying a word and quietly looked at the photo in his hand.

Xia Yuan continued to be silent, the cigarette butt quickly bottomed out, he reached out and pinched the cigarette butt, and threw it into a puddle of water, the unextinguished cigarette butt made a sizzling sound, "Instructor Shao, we will win this war, their sacrifice is meaningful, and it will not be sacrificed in vain." They defended the motherland with their lives, and I always believe that man will win the day, and the American devils will lose, and they will not win. ”

Instructor Shao was silent for a long time and said, "I hope so." ”

Ma Da and Chen Lie ran over and sat next to Xia Yuan, Ma Da Man's arm was injured and wrapped in bandages, his personality was still the same, and he was still scolding the grandmother of the foreign devil in his mouth.

Xia Yuan glanced at Chen Lie and asked, "How is it, are you injured?" ”

Chen Lie shook his head, "I wasn't injured, after the tank was blown up, the foreign devil's cannon didn't go off, and the tank soldiers who came out were all shot and killed by me." ”

Instructor Shao put half of the photo in his pocket and said: "During the training, many soldiers have systematically learned the training of the tank, although the tank was blown up, I also went to see it, the tank was blown up by the track, the gun inside can still be used, and it can play a huge role at critical moments." ”

"It's a pity that the number of shells is not very large."

Chen Lie said.

"It doesn't take much, the shells are used for deterrence at critical moments, and even make the enemy mistakenly think that they are our main forces."

Xia Yuan had a long-term vision, as if he had thought of something, and said: "The shells are not about many, but about deterrence, foreign devils know that we are poor, if suddenly a cannon sounds, the US army will mistakenly think that the main force is going up the mountain, and it is possible to stop the attack." ”

He knew that when the 180th Division retreated in the future, one of the units fired a shell at the US position with a mountain gun, causing the US troops on the position to mistakenly think that it was the main force of the Volunteer Army and retreated without a fight.

The poverty of the volunteer army is deeply rooted in the US army, and the troops that can have artillery are basically the main forces.

Everyone nodded as if they didn't understand.

"Lao Xia, when are we leaving?" Chen Lie asked.

"Don't worry, it's just getting dark now, and we still have plenty of time." Xia Yuan glanced at the time, it was only six o'clock, it was dark early in North Korea, the sun had just set, the sky in the distance was shimmering, and black clouds were shrouded in the mountains overhead, I don't know if it will rain tomorrow.

He planned to take a company of the remaining fighters to the enemy's rear, the enemy's forces are attacking northward, if he goes the opposite way and touches the enemy's rear, the enemy's rear is when the troops are empty, this time he goes, not only to fight the enemy's transport troops, but also to find out the enemy's troop strength, as well as the enemy's rear situation, for the next 180th Division to be surrounded.

If the enemy's rear forces were as empty as he thought, perhaps the 180th Division could have done the opposite, not to the north, but directly to the south. There are pros and cons to doing this, break through to the north, and if you can break through, you will be able to directly join the main force. And to break through to the south, they will go deep into the belly of the enemy and completely fall into the dilemma of being isolated and helpless.

However, when the enemy was attacking in a big way, the enemy's rear was relatively safe.

Xia Yuan thought, it is not necessarily necessary to attack to the south, the 180th Division is encircled, and the total strength of the enemy around it must be 780,000 US troops and South Korean troops, if he really chooses to break through, it must be to choose the enemy's weak point to attack, but he must be prepared to a certain extent.

180th Divisional Headquarters.

After a day of fierce fighting, the three infantry regiments under the 180th Division began to make a table of the casualties of each company and send it to the division headquarters, the air at the division headquarters was somewhat solemn and depressing, and a group of cadres such as Division Commander Zheng, Deputy Division Commander Duan, Chief of Staff Wang, and Director Wu had solemn expressions on their faces.

No one squeaked, and quietly looked at the casualty tables handed by the troops.

Division Commander Zheng touched the casualty report form with his hand again, sighed secretly, and stopped talking, his heart was very heavy, the enemy's counterattack had begun, the casualties of various units were very serious, the first line of defense was full of devastation, Tongguli was occupied by the enemy, and the enemy had begun to attack in the second direction.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the Jiuluan Mountain position will also fall.

It's a chain reaction, like a domino, once one place is toppled, it is followed by other places, piece by piece.

Food, medicine, ammunition, and troop replenishment are all key issues that determine the war, and in the final analysis, they are logistical supply routes, but unfortunately their logistical supply routes have been completely blocked by the enemy's planes, and the supplies cannot be delivered at all.
