"Lao Xia, what are you looking at? Watching it so fascinating? ”

Chen Lei tightened the big eight grains behind him, put the kettle on his waist, and asked curiously.

He also followed Xia Yuan's gaze and looked into the distance, mountain after mountain, black and black, and nothing could be seen.

Several people were also a little confused.

Xia Yuan smiled and took out a map from his arms, pointed to a line on the map, and said, "This is our location." ”

Instructor Shao was a little confused, glanced at the English words marked on the map, and didn't understand: "You took this from a foreign devil?" ”

"Definitely, you can't run in vain if you go there, and you take their map by the way."

Xia Yuan had a smile on his face, stared at the map in his hand, and said: "It's still a map of foreign devils, people are flying planes and shooting in the sky with cameras, but they are hundreds of times more accurate than our hand-drawn maps." ”

Everyone stared at the map in his hand, except for the words that he couldn't understand, the mountains and rivers on it were just like the real ones, where they were like their hand-drawn maps, the mountains and roads were all outlined with lines.

"This map is really good, how else to say that the foreign devils are advanced, grandma's bear, if we have someone so advanced, we would have hit their door early."

Ma Da couldn't help but scold.

"There is an egg in the first, not to be beaten by us, this war can not only look at the weapons and equipment, but also depends on the people, the weapons and equipment of foreign devils are good, then we will not be able to meet us."

Lao Yang rarely spoke more than once, "Isn't this still being played by Lao Xia, I guess I haven't figured out what happened at this time." ”

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd laughed.

As Lao Yang said, the commander of the US army was furious at the regiment headquarters, the artillery covered for ten minutes, and after half a day, it was his own people who were bombed, and there were only a few US soldiers who escaped from the high ground, and the others were all dead, and then they cried and complained that they were attacked by artillery fire in their sleep, and at first they thought that the Chinese had called, and they panicked for a long time, and escaped death from the high ground, only to find that they were beaten from their station.

This was also confirmed by the battalion commander of the major, and the two companies rushed to the position without the slightest hindrance, not a single Chinese shadow was seen, and the position was as if it had been plowed by a low rake, except for the broken bodies of their own people, not a single Chinese body was found, and the wounded were questioned about the wounded, and what the wounded said almost did not anger him to death.

The position has always been in their hands, there are no Chinese at all, they are still asleep, they suddenly encountered a fierce artillery attack, their own bunker fortifications are enough to deal with the Chinese small-caliber mortars, who once wanted to bomb them is not the Chinese at all, but their own people, or 155-mm howitzers, the kind that goes down to a big pit with one cannon, and the long-range artillery of their own people, it is not a problem to drop three or four shells in a second, where can the vulnerable positions withstand such a level of fierce bombardment.

The bunkers were bulldozed, the machine-gun bunkers were blown up, the places where they slept collapsed, and many people were still in their sleeping bags, buried in the pits.

Those who came out alive seemed to have seen the end of the world, the mountains and rivers were roaring, the earth was churning, the smoke of gunpowder was filling, the sky was obscured, the grass and trees were toppling, the rolling air waves were rolling the gravel, the flesh and blood of the human body were so vulnerable in front of these, and there was not a living thing within ten meters of the bullet point.

After listening to the words of the battalion commander of the major, the commander pointed to the second lieutenant who called for long-range artillery support, and scolded that there were only so many people left in a connection of nearly 300 people under the cover of ten minutes of artillery fire.

The second lieutenant was also very aggrieved and told the commander in detail what happened, "Your Excellency Commander, I am guilty, but the soldier who lied about the military situation is the sinner, he lied about the military situation and misled me into thinking that the Chinese had called, but I confirmed that I asked the communication soldiers to call by radio, but no one answered." They also fired mortar shells at my position and opened fire, wounding one of my soldiers. ”

His words were also confirmed, and the soldiers on the high ground said that there were indeed mortar shells that landed on the position, and there were also bursts of gunfire, but these bullets were fired from the darkness, and the soldiers reacted quickly, and there were no casualties, and only one soldier was slightly injured.

A soldier was slightly wounded, but he was more cautious, and even mortars were used, and there must have been many volunteers who attacked.

Add to that the visibility at night, the unreachable radio communications, and the panicked soldiers who come to report the information, and all this coming together creates the illusion that the enemy is attacking.

There was a surprising silence in the command for a while, and they suddenly found that there was no problem with this matter, whether it was the defenders on the high ground or the second lieutenant who called for long-range artillery support.

The problem is the soldier!

The commander immediately realized something and immediately said: "Find that soldier!" ”

As long as the soldier was found, all the problems were solved.

The second lieutenant hesitated a little: "Commander, we have already looked for it, and the soldier seems to have disappeared out of thin air." ”

"What!?"

Of course, the culprit disappeared, and also abducted eleven trucks and the supplies on the trucks, and went to the Jiuluan Mountain position, with the loss of the Tongguli defense line, the center of gravity of the 539th Regiment began to tilt towards the Jiuluan Mountain position, and the current Jiuluan Mountain position is a joint defense of the 538th Regiment and the 539th Regiment, which is bound to resist the enemy's fierce attack in order to gain time for the rear troops.

Xia Yuan and the small hills they saw from a distance all had troops stationed, but the size of the troops was all at the company level, and if there were heavy casualties, they would continue to replenish, which was like a tactic of adding fuel.

There was no way, the enemy's fire was too fierce, and the more people who went up, the greater the casualties, so the number of defenders on the position could only be controlled on the scale of a company of 100 people.

A company sent out a large number of scouts, passing through a dangerous area, there were three scouts ambushed on the top of the mountain, one of the older scouts stared at the convoy of American trucks that suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mountain, and said with some surprise:

"Grandma, are these foreign devils so rampant now? With the headlights on, I wanted to swagger into our position. Lao Yu, you go and tell the company commander, let's beat them hard, look at the trucks loaded with boxes, it is estimated that there are not many people, move quickly, or this big fat will run away. ”

"Okay, then you guys are here to keep an eye on, don't let the fat run away."

"Don't worry, we're watching, it won't run away."

！

Just as they were talking, a string of familiar whistles sounded, and the three of them were startled, looking for the source of the sound, and their eyes fell on the convoy below.

"What a joke!" Lao Yu said in astonishment.

The whistle was the contact information of their own people.

The older scout hurriedly took the whistle out of his bosom and made contact with him.

！

The truck convoy stopped, and more than a dozen 'American devils' got out of the car, and the three of them were a little confused, what is the situation, whether they are their own people or foreign devils.

The older scout said: "It must be their own people, otherwise they wouldn't have driven into our position so swaggeringly, let alone blew the whistle, or even get out of the car to expose themselves, Lao Yu, you are staring at the top, I will go down with Xiao Zhou to take a look." ”

At the foot of the mountain, Wang Xiaoliang looked left and right curiously, "Company commander, why don't you see anyone coming down." ”

Xia Yuan raised his head and said, "It's not down. ”

Wang Xiaoliang realized that after his words were finished, two soldiers with guns came down from the mountain, their movements were vigorous, and when they crossed a deep ditch, the two jumped up as if they were flying and landed firmly on the ground, which made his mouth open.

"Liao Qingxu, squad leader of the second squad of the reconnaissance platoon of the third company of the first battalion of the 539th regiment! Second class scout Zhou Jie! Comrade that part. ”

The older warrior in front of him was a little rough and grinning.

"The commander of the first battalion and the first company of the 538th regiment, Xia Yuan, the instructor Shao Wenxuan, the first platoon leader Yang Ziqing, the second platoon commander Ma Shunyao, and the third platoon commander Chen Lie"

Xia Yuan introduced them one by one, there were only so many people left in the company, he could basically remember the names of these people, in fact, he had always remembered the names of those sacrificed soldiers, but they were very far away from him.

Looking at the dozen or so gray-faced soldiers in front of him, Liao Qingxu was in awe and saluted them silently, these were all soldiers who came down from the position.

suffered.

"Salute!"

Instructor Shao said loudly.

More than a dozen warriors returned the salute.

This is a silent communication between them, although they don't know each other, but the blood flowing in their bodies is the same, and the goal is the same.

"Good boy, you guys have attacked the convoy of foreign devils. I just said that there was a piece of fat, and it was a piece of fat. ”

Liao Qingxu looked at the evacuated materials, full of excitement, and did not forget to joke.

"Hahahaha!"

The big guy smiled.

Liao Qingxu jumped out of the car and said, "Lian Commander Xia, if there is anything you need help with, just say it, if you can help, we will definitely help." ”

Xia Yuan was also polite: "I really need your help, that's it, we changed our clothes, and now it always feels awkward to wear foreign devils' clothes." ”

"It's simple, we still have a few sets of clothes in the company, I'll just go back and talk to the company commander."

"Okay, then it's troublesome Platoon Commander Liao."

"Where, the family doesn't talk to each other, not to mention that you have seized so much food, medicine and ammunition, we are very short of food and ammunition, but the firepower of the foreign devils is fierce, many soldiers have been injured, with these medicines, those brothers who have been transferred to the rear can receive treatment."

Liao Qingxu admired Xia Yuan very much, especially the things published in the newspaper about the company commander in front of him, but it ruthlessly encouraged the soldiers' confidence to fight with foreign devils to the end.

The arrival of the convoy in the position of the first battalion and three companies of the 539th Regiment alarmed many soldiers, and they looked at the dozen or so trucks parked under the position from a distance, and the trucks were full of supplies, and Zhou Jie was having a small meeting with a group of soldiers.

"That truck was captured by Company Commander Xia, and they won a big battle tonight, do you know the sound of artillery from the foreign devil's position an hour ago?"

A group of fighters were like a crowd of melon-eating people, their eyes widened and they were curious.

"Xiao Zhou, you have learned badly now, and you have started to sell Guanzi."

"It's just that, can't you shake it out all at once?"

"More than a dozen trucks drove out of the foreign devil's position, it is estimated that only Company Commander Xia can do this kind of thing, you hurry up, how to bring it out."

The commanders and fighters of the third company, deputy company commanders, instructors, and comrades of the party branch were very curious about how more than a dozen trucks drove out of the positions of foreign devils.

"This matter is a long story, I won't tell you in detail one by one, it's almost dawn, I want to take advantage of the darkness to send the supplies to the division headquarters, and then you just pay attention to the newspaper."

Xia Yuan fastened the last button, put the gun behind his back, and sure enough, it was comfortable to change into his own clothes.

The commander of the third company said with a smile: "You have done a big thing quietly, the foreign devil probably doesn't know how he lost more than a dozen cars at this time, okay, we will wait for the newspaper then, I hope we don't have to wait in a hurry." ”

The instructor of the third company also laughed and joked: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day." ”

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed, their smiles were full of bitterness, and the pressure of war sacrifice was basically carried by the soldiers, and the discomfort in their hearts was estimated to be only understood by themselves.

As for sacrifice, no one is afraid of sacrifice, it is all heroes who sacrifice, and the people of the Motherland and him will remember us.

For the volunteer soldiers, sacrifice is glorious.

Seeing the convoy leave, the third company commander retracted his gaze, pinched out the cigarette in his hand, and said: "The first company commander is really a character, I saw it in the newspaper earlier, he is still a platoon commander, and the story he tells is very good, he is educated, he has a level, he has read books, he thought it was different from us, but he didn't expect it to be more powerful than us." ”

The instructor of the third company nodded and said: "Earlier, when I suppressed bandits in the country, I heard that the platoon commander of the first battalion of sharp knife companies can fight, but he made a lot of mistakes. ”

The deputy company commander said: "The casualties of the first company are also large, I heard my friend say that the first company, as a sharp knife company, has always been responsible for the task of attacking the enemy's high ground, and has suffered heavy casualties. ”

Several people's hearts sank, there were still more than a dozen people left in a company, Xia Yuan became the company commander again, and the big guys basically knew what happened in the company, the war was like this, the company was a sharp knife company, and no matter what happened, they were at the forefront.

Exchange your own large casualties for small casualties of large troops.

This is also a way to no choice, at any time, there is always a company to choose to pay.

Including after the end of the second phase of the fifth battle, those soldiers who stayed behind to be in charge of the palace, everyone knew in their hearts that the palace was basically a dead end.
