Xia Yuan didn't have much else in his hand, that is, he had a lot of guns, and he had lost a lot before, but he was still able to make the soldiers of the machine gun company have a Thomson submachine gun in their hands and a semi-automatic rifle in their hands, and the number of grenades is even more than enough to fit on their bodies.

The trucks were piled up.

There is no problem at all in assigning some to the 540 regiment.

The three of them discussed some more details, and Regiment Commander Liu called the commander of the sixth and seventh companies of the third battalion of the 540th Regiment and conveyed the division commander's order to the two of them, "From now on, you will be from the independent battalion." ”

"Yes!"

The two had no objections.

A soldier obeys orders and rarely questions orders given by his superiors.

"Where did this independent battalion come from?"

"I don't know, I heard from the soldiers, a particularly fierce team has just appeared, the firepower is strong, our regiment has fought a road that has not been fought for a long time, and they have beaten it down in one face, and it is estimated that the independent battalion that let us join is the team that suddenly appeared."

The two were very curious about the independent battalion in the mouth of Regiment Commander Liu.

"Don't underestimate this independent battalion commander, our division commander is very optimistic about him." Head Liu said.

The two were a little surprised.

The sixth company commander is called An Hengrun, and he asked with some curiosity: "Regiment commander, why is this battalion commander favored by our division commander?" ”

Regiment Commander Liu said: "The foreign devil who just hit the highway was made by him with his troops, you should have seen the firepower, right?" ”

The commander of the seventh company is named Qi Shan, he nodded and responded: "I've seen it on the mountain, and the firepower is too fierce, at first I was mistaken, I thought it was a unit of the US army, but I didn't expect it to be our people." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "Regiment commander, where did this independent battalion come from, why haven't you heard that in addition to the three infantry regiments, our division also has an independent battalion." ”

Not only Company Commander Qi was curious, but Company Commander An was also curious.

Regiment Commander Liu said: "I was personally appointed by the division commander just now, don't underestimate others, do you guess how many people were in this unit at the beginning?" ”

"How many people have such strong firepower, and they are independent battalions, it has to be a battalion-level scale, right?" Company Commander An thought for a while and said.

"No, guess again." Head Liu shook his head.

"A regiment?" Company Commander Qi said.

"In addition to the 538th Regiment, the 539th Regiment and the 540th Regiment in our division, where did the fourth regiment come from, guess less." Head Liu said.

"Not a battalion, is it a company? Looking at their size, it should be a reinforced company. ”

During the break, Company Commander An glanced at the soldiers of this army from a distance, no way, their equipment is too good, a submachine gun is nothing, a semi-automatic rifle is carried behind him, and he has his own bullet bag hanging on his body, as well as an American-style bullet bag, just an American-style bullet bag, each soldier has to have two entwined on his body.

It's kind of incredible.

His guess was reasonable.

Seeing that Regiment Commander Liu didn't speak, Company Commander An knew that his guess was wrong, thought about it, and said cautiously: "It can't be a platoon, a platoon of more than 30 people, how is it possible." ”

Company Commander Qi also nodded.

"That's not right."

"A platoon is not, is it a squad, how is it possible?"

The two of them said incredulously with wide eyes.

"A squad is also wrong, there was only one person in this unit at the beginning, that is, the company commander of their company, when he came out of the division headquarters, our division commander did not give him a single soldier, it was he who touched the front line, took four people, held the position, eliminated a lot of American troops, and then traveled all the way, saving many soldiers who fell behind and were separated from the large army. Gradually, such a team will be pulled up, and you may be able to see our old acquaintances inside. ”

Regiment Commander Liu said with a smile: "I have asked, there are many soldiers of our regiment in their machine gun company. ”

The incredulity on the faces of the two of them became even stronger.

One person, without a single soldier, relied on rescuing those stragglers to pull up such a powerful team.

It's incredible.

"Yes, I was shocked, when I heard this, I didn't believe it, but the facts are in front of us, this person is the famous combat hero of our division, Xia Yuan."

"Put me in his place, you can't do it like this." Company Commander An opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but say in admiration.

Xia Yuan and they all know that it is indeed a famous combat hero of their division, this combat hero is a fierce man, and it can even be said that he is a legend, capturing supplies, bombing the enemy's artillery positions, and taking six people to raid the US army, and now he is single-handedly pulling up such a powerful team. This combat hero only showed his combat effectiveness on the Korean battlefield, and in the domestic battle, they had never heard of such a person.

As Regiment Commander Liu saw the so-called commander of the independent battalion, the combat hero, Xia Yuan, the man in front of him had black cheeks, with some open scorched skin, and walked a little lame, the two looked at each other, only to find that one of his legs was fixed with a wooden stick.

"I escaped death from the hands of Mei Twenty-four, and my leg was broken, so I was supported by a wooden stick, and I could barely walk."

Xia Yuan showed a smile on his face and looked at Head Liu: "Head Liu, these two are An Hengrun and Qi Shan." ”

"Hello battalion commander!"

The two said hello, and when they first came, Commander Liu also explained to them, be polite to this one, he is enough to win everyone's respect, and even Master Zheng is full of praise for him.

"Welcome to the Independence Battalion, a warm welcome." Xia Yuan introduced them to the people behind him: "This is the instructor of our company, Yang Nanzhen." ”

"Hello, Captain Liu." Yang Nanzhen greeted them.

"Hello Instructor Yang."

After everyone greeted each other and got to know each other, Xia Yuan said: "Instructor Yang, after the independent battalion is established, you will be the battalion staff officer of our battalion." ”

"I'm afraid I'm not up to the task." When Yang Nanzhen heard this, he hesitated, shook his head and said, "It's okay for me to be an instructor, to be a battalion staff officer. Forget it, I'm better suited to lead troops to war. ”

"Instructor Yang's idea is the same as my original idea, but the machine gun company has become an independent battalion, and we can still lead troops to fight, who said that the battalion commander and the battalion chief of staff can't go to the front line, when it's time to go, they have to go."

Xia Yuan took Regiment Commander Liu as an example: "Previously, Regiment Commander Liu, as the commander of the 540 Regiment, personally led the troops to the front line. ”

Regiment Commander Liu said with a smile: "What Xia Yuan said is right, there is no such thing as whether it will be possible or not, in the battle just now, the division commander personally took a gun to the position." ”

"The division commanders are all on the battlefield?" Yang Nanzhen looked stunned.

"What's this, when fighting little devils, who doesn't fight with devils with guns, when they are division commanders and army commanders, they all do this, when they should go, they still don't cowardice, they just do it with devils with guns." Xia Yuan said: "That's it. ”

Yang Nanzhen was silent.

The separate battalion was thus formed.

Considering that the strength of the sixth and seventh companies was still insufficient, Xia Yuan drastically reformed the independent battalion and built the independent battalion into two reinforced companies, the first company was the machine gun company, and the second company was the reinforced company of the sixth and seventh companies.

The artillery platoon was separated from the third company, the artillery company, equipped with twelve mortars, four bazookas, two recoilless guns, two heavy machine guns, and four light machine guns. The rest of the armament was evenly distributed between the first and second companies.

The strength of the separate battalion grew to more than four hundred people.

The other departments are still incomplete, they are still in the war, they are all in the stage of transferring and breaking out, and the establishment of various departments is not in the process of being considered for the time being.

In this breakout, the independent battalion served as the main attacking force.

"Commander, try this."

Crossing the highway and setting off in the direction of Eagle Peak, the team pulled up a long queue in the dark night, Xia Yuan took the bottle of red wine, walked to Master Zheng, and handed it to him.

"What is this, it looks so special." Master Zheng has never seen this thing, and it is really the first time he has seen red wine.

"Red wine, a good thing for foreign devils, try it." Xia Yuan handed it to Master Zheng.

"Foreign wine, heh, Lao Duan likes to drink these the most, give it to him to taste." Division Commander Zheng smiled and said, "By the way, the next battle will depend on the performance of your independent battalion, and the 540 Regiment will be your second echelon." ”

"Division commander, just take a look, the position of the foreign devils, I will personally lead people to fight down." Xia Yuan had already thought of a plan in his heart, and said happily.

"Your legs are fine, don't be reckless, these things are still left to your subordinates to do, be a commander, and issue orders according to the battlefield situation." Master Zheng said patiently.

"Master Zheng, it doesn't affect the operation, it's uncomfortable to stay in the back, I still prefer the front line." Xia Yuan said with a smile. His individual combat effectiveness can only be brought into full play on the battlefield.

Commander Liu ran to Commander Zheng and said, "Commander, I just saw the people of the Second Company of the 539th Regiment on a small road, and Commander Wang, they should also highlight this encirclement." ”

Division Commander Zheng said: "Why are there still troops in front, let's go over and take a look, we must organize them." ”

Now that the various units of the 180th Division have been dispersed, people from other units can always be seen in the process of advancing.

Regiment Commander Liu nodded: "Okay division commander, that should be the scattered troops that have just broken through." ”

"Let's go and have a look."

Master Zheng said to Xia Yuan.

Following Regiment Commander Liu, not far away, there were many troops resting on the side of the road, some were already asleep, some were smoking half a cigarette, and the bandages on their heads were just wrapped up. A platoon commander saw the division commander and others coming, stood up and saluted.

Master Zheng first asked him, "What part are you?" ”

The platoon commander replied: "Report to the division commander, I am from the first battalion and third company of the 538th Regiment, my soldiers are really tired, they have just rushed out of the encirclement, they are too tired to do it, let them rest and rest, now that they have broken out of the encirclement, there will be no danger for the time being, right?" ”

Division Commander Zheng looked at these soldiers, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, he knew very well in his heart that these soldiers were definitely not people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and were cowardly and stealing their lives.

This platoon commander is also the first time to talk to Division Commander Zheng, he thinks that the division commander will definitely criticize them vigorously, but Division Commander Zheng did not blame them, gradually slowed down, and said to the soldiers sitting on the ground: "Some of you people here, some know me, some don't, the time is too short, I will briefly explain the situation to you, it is only the first encirclement at present, and you can't stop now, this is too dangerous." ”

When the warriors heard the voice, they raised their heads and looked at the man, who was tall and large, but because he had not eaten enough for a long time, his body was also emaciated, his eye sockets were a little sunken, blackened, and his cheeks were visibly emaciated.

"Division commander, it's division commander."

"It's really the division commander!"

The already tired soldiers supported the ground with their guns and staggered to their feet, and the person in front of them was the soul of the 180th Division, the brain of the 180th Division.

Senior Commander Zheng's thirsty throat was smoking, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reluctantly said in a loud voice: "I must take you all out safely, now everyone follows me and continues to move closer to Dutai Peak, where our reinforcements will respond." ”

"Commander, I'm not tired, let's go!"

Everyone shouted so firmly, and they all joined the big army, following this iron current, surging forward.

Obviously they are only flesh and blood, but they have built an impregnable wall with their spiritual will, and they are well-deserved heroes.

Xia Yuan recognized the platoon commander in front of him, the commander of the third company and the ninth platoon of the first battalion of the 538th Regiment, Wang Hu, the two had intersections in China, and when they arrived at the Korean battlefield, they each carried out their own orders, and there was very little intersection.

When he met an old acquaintance here, Xia Yuan was still very emotional, as the battle continued, there were almost no old acquaintances he could meet.

"Summer Camp Chief." The platoon commander was very happy, and he was so lucky to be able to meet the people of the first battalion of the 538th Regiment. Knowing that Xia Yuan has become the battalion commander of the independent battalion, he is really happy for him, Xia Yuan used to be a platoon commander of a battalion and a company, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, when he met again, the other party would become the battalion commander.

"Where's your company commander?" Xia Yuan asked him.

Talking about the battalion commander, the platoon commander had a gloomy look on his face: "Battalion commander Xia, our company commander was killed by the enemy's machine gun in the process of breaking through. ”

Xia Yuan sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Keep going, don't stop, escape with the belief of the company commander to break through." ”

"Well, summer camp commander, I will definitely break through with the belief of the company commander!"

Wang Hu's tone was very hard.

"There are only so many people left in your third company, follow the independent battalion, we are still short of people."

The independent battalion is in its infancy, and even if the division commander replenishes two companies to the independent battalion, there is still a lot of lack of personnel, and there is still a lot of shortfall to reach the scale of the independent battalion.

"This" Wang Hu hesitated a little.

"I approve it." Master Zheng just walked over and said.

"Yes!" Wang Hu no longer hesitated, whether to join the independent battalion or not, it was not up to him alone, there was a battalion commander above him, and the battalion commander's consent was required, but the division commander's order was more direct than the battalion commander's order.

"Xia Yuan, come here, let's study it."

"Yes!"
