The troops had stopped advancing and were resting in the mountains, the soldiers sitting back to back with each other, many of them listless.

On the other hand, the mental outlook of the independent battalion is the best in the entire unit, and in the previous battles, the machine gun company led by Xia Yuan not only wiped out a large number of American troops, but also replenished food, and every soldier was well fed and had the strength to continue to persevere.

The soldiers of other units are still in the stage of running out of food, even if they give all the captured food to the 540 Regiment, it is still not enough, the amount of food is really limited, the men make a big pot of dishes, except for the wounded and sick, many soldiers can only drink soup.

For the soldiers who are now seriously short of food, a mouthful of soup is enough.

Many soldiers saw it in their eyes, distressed but powerless, even Xia Yuan had no choice, so many people, the amount of food needed was not a few, and it was not something that the US army could solve by fighting a battalion.

The soldiers of the front machine gun company were holding their breath in their hearts, not only for the sake of the soldiers who had died, but also for the exhausted brother troops in front of them.

The humble meeting was in the ranks, surrounded by soldiers sitting and lying down, and Division Commander Zheng said: "Go further, we will soon reach the nameless heights, and when we reach the nameless heights, we will be very close to Eagle Peak, and the 538th Regiment and the 539th Regiment are also moving closer to Eagle Peak, and we will be discussing the battle plan at that time, and now according to the previous agreement, the independent battalion will be the pioneer, and the 540th regiment will be the reserve, not only to be the second echelon, but also to look at the flanks of the independent battalion." ”

After a pause, Master Zheng continued: "Lao Liu, our previous plan is going to change. ”

"yes, now we have a team that can compete with the U.S. military." Head Liu looked at Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan asked, "Commander, what was the plan you discussed earlier?" ”

Senior Commander Zheng spoke, "Lao Liu, you tell Camp Commander Xia." ”

Regiment Commander Liu said: "Our plan is to occupy the nameless heights in the front, but you have also seen the situation of the 540 Regiment, not to mention the problem of food shortages, let's talk about weapons and ammunition, many soldiers' weapons and ammunition have not been able to keep up, even if the nameless heights are knocked down, we have no ability to defend the nameless heights, and the nameless heights are a pass to the Eagle Peak, the superiors ordered us to move closer to the Eagle Peak, there will be troops here to meet us, and we must also prepare for the worst." ”

After listening to Regiment Commander Liu's words, Xia Yuan had a rough idea in his heart: "The defense of the Nameless Heights will be handed over to our independent battalion." ”

Regiment Commander Liu said, "That's the reason, if we take the nameless high ground and the receiving troops have not arrived in time, we must prepare for the worst, or move closer to the main position of Eagle Peak, and go to the 539th Regiment and the 538th Regiment to converge, since you are here, we can change our thinking and expand the defensive position of the 180th Division." ”

Division Commander Zheng continued: "Now the situation of our division is very serious, and we have just encountered the people of the 538th Regiment, which shows that from the beginning of the breakthrough to the present, many troops have been scattered, and only by expanding our positions will these scattered troops have a better chance of finding us." ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "Division, commander, we still have to make our own plans to break through, and it is not a good way to stick to it." ”

"Battalion Commander Xia, we have already considered the situation you said before, the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion is completely capable of being independent, and there is no problem even serving as the main force, but we take the initiative to break through, and it is difficult to provide you with strong help in terms of the current situation of the three regiments of the 180th Division."

Head Liu smiled bitterly.

It is indeed not a good way to hold on, after all, the combat effectiveness of the independent battalion is here, and if you blindly hold on, no matter how good the combat effectiveness is, it will gradually be worn out by the enemy.

And Division Commander Zheng and Regiment Commander Liu also carefully discussed whether the independent battalion should be the main force, give up the friendly forces, twist into a hemp rope and break through to the outside, if so, the independent battalion will face tremendous pressure. Let's talk about the pressure on the enemy's side first, the situation of Yingfeng is unknown, and the possibility of losing is the greatest, and retreating to Mapingli will require bypassing Zhiyanli, which is the defensive position of the 24th US Division.

The US 24th Division, which was held by the torrent of steel, was invincible, and it was not 12 small-caliber mortars, some recoilless guns and bazooka that could solve it.

The situation of the tough battle is the most difficult to fight.

Speaking of the current situation of the 180th Division, the three infantry regiments, after going through so many battles, the number of personnel who continued to participate in the battle became smaller and smaller, and they experienced another major breakthrough, and the troops were extremely chaotic, and no one could take care of anyone.

The combat effectiveness of the troops is not one in ten, and in Zhiyanli, where they want to support the independent battalion to fight the US defense, there are not many people and guns that can be used, and even if they hit the flanks, they are facing very great pressure, not to mention the independent battalion that serves as the main force.

After thinking about it, obviously defensive, waiting for reinforcements to arrive is the best way to do it at the moment.

After hearing this, Xia Yuan nodded a little heavily, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't wait for any rescue at Eagle Peak, otherwise the 180th Division would not have chosen to disperse and break through in the end.

In fact, the 60th Army had already ordered the 179th Division and the 181st Division to dispatch to rescue the 180th Division, but they could not contact the 180th Division at all.

Xia Yuan pondered for a while and said, "Division commander, first meet with the 538th Regiment and the 539th Regiment at the main position of Eagle Peak, and our independent battalion will serve as the main attack force. ”

Considering the time problem, after the meeting finalized the direction of the attack, it was over, there was no flowery rhetoric, let alone a solemn oath, in the darkness, bathed in roaring artillery fire, the fighters of the independent battalion completed the assembly, and the black pressed a group of people, this is the only well-equipped team of the 180th Division.

The battalion headquarters meeting was simpler, Xia Yuan took into account the physical and physical problems of the soldiers of the sixth and seventh companies that joined later, this time the main attack was the machine gun company, and the second company formed by the sixth and seventh companies was the right flank of the independent battalion, as the flank troops, and attacked the flank position on the nameless heights.

After reconnaissance by scouts, the enemy's forces on the nameless heights were deployed in about one battalion.

Xia Yuan held the gun in his arms and said briefly: "The initial development of the machine gun company was to annihilate a battalion of the US army with the strength of a reinforced company, and this time our strength has reached a battalion, and we must eat them even more in this US army, rob them of their weapons and equipment and materials, and strengthen the combat effectiveness of our independent battalion." At the same time, for those who died at the guns of the enemy. Revenge on comrades under artillery fire! ”

No one spoke, let alone raised their arms and shouted, which would be noticed by the enemy, and the warriors just clenched their fists and grabbed the guns in their hands hard.

"I will join you in attacking the enemy's high ground!" Xia Yuan took a deep breath, turned his head to Yang Nanzhen and said, "Old Yang, I will give you the artillery company, take down the enemy's nameless heights, quickly build trenches, don't support us." ”

Yang Nanzhen was stunned for a moment, and Xia Yuan said jokingly: "Because we will take the enemy's position faster than you." ”

"Let's compare." Yang Nanzhen suddenly smiled.

"Okay, compare with each other, just bet on this half pack of cigarettes." Xia Yuan took out half a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, which was captured from the American position, in fact, they seized a lot of cigarettes, but more of them were given to the soldiers in the army.

Yang Nanzhen snatched it up, put it directly into his pocket, and said with a smile: "Then you are wrong, I must be the first to occupy the enemy's high ground." ”

"Hahahaha!" Xia Yuan smiled and restrained his smile: "Come back alive, I have to ask you for cigarettes in person, you didn't give it to me, I don't smoke." ”

"Then you have to come back alive, this pack of cigarettes except for you, no one asks me if I want to leave."

The two have experienced so many battles, and they have also established a deep friendship with each other, Xia Yuan looked at Yang Nanzhen, and in him, Xia Yuan saw the figure of Lao Yang.

Xia Yuan's face was bitter, the friendship in the war would be broken at any time with the enemy's artillery fire, and the living people were tormented.

After so many battles, he is still alive, but many of the people around him are no longer there.

The fierce battle began after three rounds of artillery shelling by the artillery company, Xia Yuan took the lead, don't look at him lame, once he launched a ruthless attack, he ran up quickly, holding only a big eight, turned on night vision and Eagle Eye, and under the cover of the rear machine-gun fire group, he led a platoon of fighters to rush to the enemy position.

"Battalion commander, be careful!"

Those who followed Xia Yuan's actions were all old acquaintances.

Hao Guangjiu, Wu Ba, Wu Liang, Wang Huzi and others all started to fight with Xia Yuan.

Da da da, the enemy's machine-gun fire bunker rang non-stop, the fighters in charge of the demolition were suppressed, and the two ferocious fires formed by the heavy machine guns of the machine-gun fire group constantly fell on the enemy's positions, and there were splashing impact points everywhere.

The enemy built a lot of machine-gun fire bunkers in the front, after all, it was a battalion of American troops, and the weapons and equipment were very luxurious, after experiencing the initial panic, the fighters in groups of three and three quickly calmed down, relying on the anti-slope to build a firing position, Wang Huzi took two machine gunners, and set up a Czech type on their left and right wings, and the formed crossfire began to cover the shooting.

The various combat groups of the guerrillas took out their grenades, flew over the positions and landed on the enemy's positions, and cold guns constantly rang out from behind them.

Some people charged, some people put cold guns, and some people gave enough fire support, and there was no problem with cooperation.

Bang bang bang.

The continuous gunfire made the enemy's machine gun fire bunker mute, Xia Yuan, who turned on night vision and Eagle Eye, coupled with the skill of full level of firearms, one person is enough to top a company, and there is no need to use tracer bullets in night battles.

"Knocked out, the devil's machine gun bunker knocked out!"

"I'm watching, shouting nonsense, rushing, occupying the enemy's machine gun bunker, robbing the machine gun of the American devil."

Following Xia Yuan, Wang Huzi also liked the feeling of capturing the weapons and equipment of the American devils, he was holding the Czech light machine gun on his shoulder, constantly pulling the trigger on the enemy, he still liked the Czech style, the firepower was enough, the bullets were enough, and many of the captured American devil light machine guns were automatic rifles converted into light machine guns, and a magazine was only forty or fifty rounds.

However, the logistical support capability of the independent battalion is still quite good, and although the soldiers of the 540th Regiment cannot provide combat support, they can help the soldiers fighting on the front line to suppress bullets.

As soon as Wang Huzi's voice sounded, the soldiers also saw the opportunity, four combat commandos formed by a squad, three people in a small group, using the three-three system, but the soldiers carried semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, with long-range fire support, shooting, cold guns, and also with close assault, fire support, and so on.

Each fighter is equipped with twelve grenades, eight rifle magazines, and eight submachine gun magazines, and can be replenished from enemies at any time.

The formed commando fighters, under the cover of Xia Yuan in the rear, rushed to the enemy's machine-gun bunker, they did not blow up the bunker, but attacked along the left and right sides of the bunker, the enemy's forward position was full of gunfire, and soon subsided, and the fighters in the rear followed closely to attack the enemy's forward position.

"Company commander, look, a few more machine guns of American devils have been captured!" Wang Huzi was very happy, such a battle was too easy.

With the company commander to help them knock out the machine gun bunkers of the American devils, they do not need to form death squads to blow up the enemy bunkers, and if the enemy's machine guns do not sound, the combat effectiveness of the American devils will be reduced, and such a battle should not be too easy.

"What company commander, now the battalion commander." Hao Guangjiu shouted in the distance.

"Yes, yes, it's the battalion commander, look at my mouth." Wang Huzi laughed, and captured the light and heavy machine guns of the American army, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.

"Keep attacking, the position of the foreign devils has not yet been defeated."

Xia Yuan was strapped with bullet belts on his body, even behind him, and there were five or six hundred bullets alone, and he was ready to fire at full power this time.

"Yes!"

"Battalion commander, you wait for us to take down the position!"

When the soldiers saw Xia Yuan coming to the position, they were very excited one by one, and continued to charge forward without looking back.

"Slow down!" Xia Yuan smiled, the soldiers are really cute.

Although the next battle was difficult, but there was no danger, the soldiers captured the main position of the nameless highland with small casualties, Xia Yuan fought with his own high-intensity play, one person shot nearly two hundred American soldiers, the American troops who appeared in his field of vision will not live for more than five seconds, after the battle, Xia Yuan also threw his gun, and shot continuously, the gun was hot, and the accuracy also deviated.

The position is full of guns dropped by the enemy, there was no chance to pick it up during the previous battle, and now the battle is over, the soldiers of the 540th Regiment came to the position to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield, the nameless highland guns on the flank were intermittent, the battle was also nearing the end, the frontal position fell, and the American troops on the nameless heights already knew that the general trend had gone, those who surrendered surrendered, and those who fled fled.

At the end of the battle, the disgraced Yang Nanzhen handed Xia Yuan half a pack of cigarettes, and couldn't help laughing when he looked at Xia Yuan's gray-faced appearance.
