"The battle on the front line is getting more and more fierce, countless soldiers have sacrificed their lives and forgotten death, and a company, in order to break through the enemy's position, has been playing the role of a sharp knife company until a few soldiers remain, and there are more companies, all of which died in this battle, what are they for, blocking the enemy's advance and protecting the retreating corps in the rear."

Xia Yuan's voice was a little heavy, and the burden on his body became heavier and heavier: "We have no choice, we are their last line of defense, we have failed, the 180th Division will be completely surrounded by three American divisions and one South Korean division, more than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 people, if we can use our own sacrifices to fight for them a life channel, can you do it!" ”

His gaze was sharp and his voice was sharp.

At this time, everyone understood their task and pinned down the enemy's advance, they thought they were trying to buy time for other combat units, but they didn't expect that what they did was to open a life channel for the 180th Division in a desperate situation.

This passage of life is crucial and is vital to the survival of nearly 10,000 people.

No sloppiness.

Company Commander Cai and Instructor Pang understood the arduousness of this task.

"Even if the Seventh Company is wiped out, we must contain the enemy and continue to go north, and we can't let this enemy pass!"

Company Commander Cai thought for a moment and took the lead in speaking, he already understood the seriousness of the matter, and this is a very easy matter to choose, compared to the Seventh Company, the safety of the entire 180th Division is the most important.

Not only the wounded, but also medical comrades, logistics comrades, etc., if we can open a life channel for the 180th Division, the entire Seventh Company will be sacrificed, and it will be worth it!

"Give the order! Xia Lian Commander! Instructor Pang is no longer entangled in the question of whether he can keep it, any problem lies in people, and it is also people who solve problems.

They ask questions, they solve them.

Xia Yuan glanced at Instructor Shao and saw that he seemed to feel a little guilty, so he said: "Instructor, I believe in your judgment, because your judgment is correct, no matter how we fight, we can't win this battle, all we can do is to contain it, and if we contain it for a minute, we can relieve the pressure on the comrades behind for a minute." Holding back for five minutes can relieve the pressure on the comrades behind for five minutes. ”

Instructor Shao looked at him and said, "Can't you tell me earlier?" ”

He didn't expect that the follow-up would be related to the safety of the 180th Division, he just thought that it was very inappropriate for this group of American troops to go north, and he had to consider the lives of these soldiers. Unfortunately, the reality is very cruel.

The battle plan here was simply deployed, and the scouts over there came with the news.

The enemy set off.

"That's not a good thing, the enemy is moving a lot faster than I thought." Xia Yuan looked at the smoke in the distance, he had just experienced a big battle, the smoke covered the sky, and the already oppressive sky was even more depressing.

A small raindrop fell on his face, and the icy cold touch made Xia Yuan stunned: "It's raining." ”

The raindrops were very small, sporadically falling on the ground, and the soldiers on the position also noticed it, raised their heads and looked at the sky, it was indeed raining, and heard the squad leader shouting, they turned their heads and threw themselves into the busy digging trenches.

On the road, comrades in the third platoon received a reminder from the scouts that the enemy's vanguard was approaching.

The platoon leader looked at the road that had been destroyed by them, not only the anti-tank trenches dug but also the mines that had been laid, the boulders pushed down by several people from the mountain, and the severed trees that had been cut down across the road, forming a new barrier.

Xia Yuan didn't expect that what they thought of was more comprehensive than what they thought, just cleaning up the boulders and trees on the road, it is estimated that it will waste a lot of time, not to mention the deep anti-tank trenches on the road, buried mines, and then blow up the first few tanks and turn them into a pile of scrap metal in the middle of the road, it is estimated that the foreign devils will go crazy.

The drizzle was hazy, and the black clouds were pressing down on the city.

On the short grass and trees, the trenches that are connected vertically and horizontally are twisted and turned, and they are everywhere.

Anticline.

Seven companies and one company, more than 100 people gathered in a line, each soldier carried a gun, held his head high, his expression solemnly waited for something.

The command cadres of the Seventh Company gathered in front, and Xia Yuan looked at them, his eyes sweeping over the young faces.

"I knew a company before, like you, it was also the seventh company, but the other party was interspersed, the second battle fought the 1st Marine Division, and after the 7th interspersed company touched the enemy's buttocks, it killed a US regiment commander and captured the flag of the US army's regimental combat team, which is infinitely glorious! Later, if the enemy wanted to retreat, the only way to cross a bridge was to cross it, and they continued to intersperse and, at the cost of huge casualties, blew up the bridge from which the enemy was retreating, blocking the enemy at the other end of the bridge. ”

"But the strength of the U.S. military is strong, they empty the steel plates, strengthen the bridge, or let them run, although they ran, but we also eliminated a large number of U.S. troops, it is a huge victory! If we are carrying the Seventh Company, then we must learn from the Seventh Company, which is heroic, tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, and not afraid of difficulties. ”

"Now there is also a problem in front of us, a division of the US army is trying in vain to go north to occupy Chenghuangtang and Zhiyanli, these two passes are important, and they are the only way for our division to retreat! The other comrades of our division are still on the other side of the river, this is their last lifeline, let the enemy pass, the 180th Division nearly 10,000 people will have no way out, they have to take the wounded and face the enemy's artillery fire to break through. ”

"Around us, there are four divisions of the enemy eyeing us, and now three divisions have surrounded us on three sides, and this last American division is trying to block our last route, you say, should we promise them!?"

"No promise!!"

The warriors' voices were loud, and the raindrops seemed to freeze for a moment.

"If you don't agree, I won't agree, not only will we not agree, but we will also block the enemy from going north." Xia Yuan's voice became heavy again: "A company fights a division of the US army, who believes it, do you believe it?" More than 100 people fought tens of thousands of people, and the American army, which has mechanized troops, I don't believe it either, but there was once a time when a company blocked several divisions of the enemy! ”

The soldiers were in an uproar, and even Instructor Shao showed surprise on their faces.

"They are our comrades, and they also happened on the Korean battlefield! In the second battle, the battle of Songgu Peak, one company blocked several divisions, only seven people were left, and only seven people were left in one company, was it tragic? No, the U.S. troops suffered more than 500 casualties, they withstood the U.S. troops, blocked for more than 10 hours, and completed the blocking mission. ”

"They can, we can, we can't discredit our motherland, lose face, even if it is death, we must die on the position, even if it is death, we must take away a few cushions, so that when we go to meet our predecessors, we will not disgrace them!"

His voice was like a hammer, striking the hearts of the warriors, igniting everyone's fighting spirit at once.

"Fight, fight, don't be afraid, we resisted the foreign devils, we bought time for the division headquarters, we saved more comrades!"

"Resist US aggression and aid Korea, protect the family and defend the country!"

"There is nothing terrible about death, there is nothing to be afraid of, our relatives are still looking forward to us, our friends are still waiting for us, our motherland is still thinking about us, killing one person, and thousands of people."

"Airplanes, artillery, tanks, they are all paper tigers, no matter how powerful they are, can they be stronger than our determination to defend our homeland and country? No, they are not stronger than our determination to defend our homeland and country! ”

"Look at the people of North Korea, think about the wars that our motherland has endured before, the enemy's artillery fire has hit our neighbors, so is the day when it falls on the land of our motherland still far away?"

"Comrades, the time has come to test you!"

"Majestic, high-spirited, across the Yalu River. To protect peace and defend the motherland is to protect the hometown."

In the end, all the discussion turned into an uplifting song.

The warriors had loud voices, fearless in the face of a strong enemy, and full of fighting spirit.

Instructor Shao said: "They are the loveliest people, and I hope that after thousands of years, there will still be people who remember us." ”

"Yes, we always remember."

Xia Yuan muttered.

The scout sent another message of the enemy: "The enemy is less than two kilometers away from us!" ”

Standing on the high ground and looking into the distance, you can see the roaring retreat of the tanks, followed by the infantry, armored vehicles, roaring, kicking up the dust of the height of the sky, one after another, the movement can be described as ordinary.

"Give the battle order."

Company Commander Cai looked at Xia Yuan.

The warriors shut up and looked at him.

Looking at the U.S. troops moving this way, Xia Yuan said, "Execute according to the established plan!" ”

"Yes!"

Without too many words, one combat order after another was distributed, with the squad as a unit, a platoon was divided into three echelons, one echelon was wiped out, and another echelon was sent up to block the attack in this way, which was undoubtedly the most cruel for everyone.

However, in this way, it was possible to greatly destroy the enemy's living forces with a small number of troops, and to ensure that the 7th Company could continue to fight.

Xia Yuan also set up a shooting team, and there was no shortage of sharpshooters with accurate marksmanship in the seventh company, and these sharpshooters were organized in the combat group as a unit and placed in a bomb crater at a distance of 100 meters behind the position to shoot at the enemy's walkie-talkie soldiers, machine gunners, and flamethrowers at a long distance to help reduce the pressure on the front-line soldiers.

The second platoon was arranged on the opposite position, separated by several hundred meters, and was used as a hidden force.

"Remember, you don't need to worry about the first battle, everything is focused on the high ground in the bend, and once the high ground in the bend is about to be untenable, you have to take on the task of helping to share the pressure in the bend!"

The second platoon commander replied: "Yes! ”

Xia Yuan advised: "Listen to orders, don't let the soldiers shoot without authorization, and explain the combat mission to the soldiers in detail, so that they can understand that in secret, we have the initiative." ”

"Company commander, please rest assured, I will definitely convey it to every soldier!"

Looking at the departing figure of the second platoon leader, Instructor Shao was a little curious, "You arranged for them, and you are going to intersperse?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded, looking at the drizzly and hazy world, "Once the battle starts, the enemy's center of gravity will be placed on the high ground on this side, and then ignore the high ground opposite, if they are not discovered by the enemy, then they can give a knife to the unpaying American army anytime and anywhere." ”

Instructor Shao turned his head to look at Xia Yuan and said, "I didn't expect you to have such an arrangement." ”

Company Commander Cai on the side also said: "A unit hidden in the shadows can indeed play a huge role at critical moments, and we have also equipped them with a lot of submachine guns, which is a force that should not be underestimated." ”

Don't look at the strength of only one platoon, but in the comparison between the individual soldiers of the Volunteer Army and the US Army, one person of the Volunteer Army can beat ten people of the US Army.

The country is poor and lacks all kinds of weapons and equipment, so the troops will fill the individual skills of each soldier, from tactical shooting, bayonet fighting to hand-to-hand combat, catching people with bare hands, weapons and equipment are not good, and strive to improve their individual skills, the volunteers of this period, as long as they go from the War of Resistance against Japan to the War of Liberation, are almost all soldiers. Even if it comes from the Liberation War, it is just as extraordinary.

In the 1964 all-army competition, the quality of individual soldiers reached a peak.

The infantryman uses a semi-automatic rifle with one hand to shoot at the target, and the gun hits, and the shot is not empty. Without any protective measures, it is easy to climb a few floors in vain, and it is even more invincible to fight with hand-to-hand combat and bayonets. The artillery holds the mortar, the eye measures the distance, and accurately concentrates the target. In less than five minutes, the cooking class plucked the live chicken, cooked it and ate it.

What a semi-automatic rifle rapid-fire target, using a machine sight, the gun hits forty targets, the action is coherent, in one go.

The militia represents female soldiers, and the same semi-automatic rifle rapid-fire 50 targets, the same use of machine aiming, one hit 47, one hit 49, and the shooting process was fired without even blinking an eye.

What forty bullets shoot at a target, the gun hits, the frequency of fire is scary. A hundred meters to shoot wine bottles, shoot bulbs not empty a shot. Shooting targets with both hands can also be done without missing a shot.

The most outrageous thing is that all the people are soldiers, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren go into battle together, and they practice their marksmanship between busy farm work, so that a child as tall as a gun can achieve the level of 100 shots.

Hand-to-hand combat has achieved the pinnacle, martial arts and fighting are combined with each other, there are no bells and whistles, only to recruit prisoners, grasp the ground, kill the enemy, make the best use of things, sand, stone can become their weapons, a hard turn of the head on the ground, don't look at the soft soil unloading, three palms like smashing.

How can a company withstand the frantic attack of several enemy divisions, the Battle of Songgufeng is the best performance, strong combat capability, beyond the will of mortals, unswerving faith, and the spirit of defending the homeland and the country.

Bullets are gone, bayonets are bent, stones are gone, teeth are the best weapons, fingers and eyes can cause great damage.
