In the process of breaking through the 180th Division, there was also one of the most difficult teams, which was an assault team led by Director Wu of the Division's Political Department, surrounded by hundreds of people, including young girls from the art troupe and many wounded.

In order to express his determination to live and die with everyone, Director Wu took out a pistol and killed his horse in front of everyone, and then said to everyone: "Don't be afraid, the more difficult the time, the more we should help each other and encourage each other, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." ”

"Victory must be ours!"

Due to the large number of people, the goal of this team was very obvious, they carried the seriously wounded, supported the lightly wounded and female comrades who could not walk, and rushed towards the enemy's encirclement in the heavy rain. They were repeatedly frustrated by daylight flares and dense firepower on the blockade line, and after changing the direction of the breakout many times, they still could not break out, and in a ravine, they were intercepted by American tanks, and the American troops brutally fired artillery into the ravine crowded with Chinese officers and soldiers, and then ran over the tanks.

Although some volunteer soldiers did not have any ability to fight back, as long as they were not hit by the enemy, they resisted, and the only way to resist was to run, and in the face of enemy fire, they just did not raise their hands.

In the end, after experiencing several failures in breaking through, Director Wu realized that this team would definitely not be able to break out, so he decided to take the troops up the mountain to fight guerrillas.

In the process of fighting hard against the enemy, hunger, and the harsh environment, this team gradually dispersed its actions due to various reasons such as combat sacrifice, disease, and hunger, and in the end, Director Wu and the 33 people around him persisted in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines for a year, and when there were finally three people left, Director Wu was captured by the US army during a breakout, and he was the highest-ranking Chinese officer and soldier captured in the Korean War.

Some of the officers and men of the 180th Division who failed to break through the encirclement were still in the mountains. In 1952, a guerrilla force appeared in the vicinity of Mt. Chigen in South Korea, which was constantly harassing the US troops, and the US troops finally learned that they were some volunteer fighters who, after failing to break through the encirclement, entered the lofty mountains and mountains and fought guerrilla warfare.

Guerrilla warfare, that is the old profession of the volunteers, from the anti-encirclement and suppression operations of the Red Army, guerrilla warfare shines brightly.

Later, the U.S. military mobilized more than 3,000 troops and asked the Japanese who had encircled and suppressed the anti-Japanese guerrillas in China as advisers to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress, but after trying their best to attack Shantou, there was no one to be seen, and after the people dispersed, the gunfire on Chigen Mountain continued.

As General Liang said, during the period when it was surrounded by the enemy, no one in the 180th Division had any political wavering.

Until the end, they still fought unyieldingly and hard against the American army.

It never stops.

Until the end of the war.

The rain was still falling, the enemy's encirclement had become a pot of porridge, the volunteer soldiers who had failed to break through the encirclement went up the mountain one after another, and the US army's mountain patrol troops also began to enter the mountains and fields to search for the lost 180th Division.

Later generations said that the 180th Division was finally wiped out.

However, the fact is that the 180th Division was not completely annihilated by the enemy, but also broke through more than 4,000 people, and the divisional organs also completely broke through, and the backbone of the 180th Division was still there.

Since coming down from the mountain, Xia Yuan and the three of them have temporarily settled down in the ruins of the village in the ravine, and cleaned up a corner of the place, which can not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also rest and recuperate, Xia Yuan's leg is broken and needs to recuperate, Hao Guangjiu and Xiao Siping rest during the day every day, come out at sunset, and bring back some guns and ammunition, but there is no food.

In the past few days, they have been living on wild vegetables, and their lives are a little hard, and after a few days, the faces of the three of them are sallow, weak and weak, and so on.

Boiled wild vegetables, without seasonings, eat in the stomach, there is no nutrition, and it is just able to fill the stomach.

Xia Yuan thought about it again and again and decided to take them to get some supplies.

In the past few days, there are often US military patrols walking through the ravine, and they have never met their own people, Xia Yuan thought about it, the US military troops are very likely to be nearby, and it is their own troops that are nearby, these US military patrols searching the mountains have the confidence, and they enter and exit the ravine very frequently.

The number of times is frequent, but the patrol team of the mountain search is becoming more and more perfunctory, at first the patrol team will also inspect the ruins of the village in the ravine, although there is no detailed inspection, but it is also checked, but the later patrol team inspection is not checked, and finally even does not even look at it, when you walk by, you can hear the Yankees chattering and talking in the distance.

"Careless, paralyzed, underestimating the enemy, with such a posture of the US military, it is no wonder that this war cannot be won."

Xia Yuan listened to the sound of drifting away, and recalled the video he had watched before the crossing, where a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea evaluated the US military and the reactionary army.

The veteran said that when the war of liberation was fought at home, the reactionary soldiers were mainly peasants, and they were all poor like us, but the Americans were different, their soldiers had a very high level of education, they were basically college students, and their spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work was not as good as that of the reactionary soldiers.

They are not able to walk, they are not able to climb mountains, they mainly ride cars and motorcycles, and once they have no cars, their efficiency is greatly reduced, and the reactionary soldiers, like us, basically walk on two legs. At night, after dark, the American devils all gathered together, or hid in tents, and no one dared to come out alone, and we were also afraid.

The American devils are indeed too easily paralyzed, and they do not find Chinese in the nearby areas, so they habitually think that this area is safe, safe and unsafe, and their soldiers have not searched carefully at all, where to know whether it is safe or unsafe.

Another patrol of the American devils left, and Hao Guangjiu couldn't help but mutter: "Grandma's, the patrol places of the American devils have suddenly become so many recently, little ghost, did you find any special circumstances when you went out?" ”

Xiao Siping shook his head.

"Battalion commander, what do you think?" Hao Guangjiu was also confused.

"There are two possibilities, either the troops of the American devils are stationed nearby, or our people appear in this area, and the American devils have added to the blockade of this area."

Xia Yuan said while thinking about two situations, the former and the latter are both possible, and he immediately decided: "Tonight, while it is night, let's go investigate." ”

"Yes!"

The rain had long since stopped, the sky was clear, the sun shone obliquely from the top of the mountain to the ravine, and the shadows of the broken walls were crooked and twisted on the ground, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the puddles on the ground, surrounded by broken walls and ruins.

"It's beautiful." Xiao Siping sat at the door, holding a gun, on the one hand, on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sighed at the scenery outside.

Green water and green mountains, blue sky and white clouds.

But after experiencing the brilliance of the war, the previous scenery has disappeared, the mountain is full of bullet impact points, the trees that have been shattered by artillery fire are everywhere, and the trees on the mountain are only a thick root.

Hao Guangjiu was washing his face with rainwater, wiped a handful of water stains on his face, and heheed: "No matter how beautiful it is, there is a fart, as soon as the enemy's cannon comes, these scenery will be gone." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Think about our hometown in the past, it was not as beautiful as what we were looking at, but after the Japanese devils came, they burned down the village and the mountain, and there was only a bare slope left." ”

"Brother Hao, when can we go home?"

Speaking of his hometown, Xiao Siping misses his home a little, this is the first time he has left his hometown so far, and he has come to fight in a foreign country where he is unfamiliar, and the big brothers who came out with him were all sacrificed in the war, he wanted to avenge the big brothers, but after so many battles, he killed too few American devils.

Not enough for this.

I was homesick and didn't dare to go back.

Xiao Siping's heart is very conflicted.

"Then we have to wait for the war to be won, if we go back now, the American devils will be able to fight in our new China." Hao Guangjiu said: "I am a peasant, I don't understand anything, I understand a truth, the People's Liberation Army has brought us a good life, the American devils don't want us to live a good life, they will not be happy, just like the Japanese devils at the beginning, my village was burned down by the Japanese devils." ”

Xiao Siping stopped talking, the reason is actually very simple, they ran out of the country for this, otherwise who would leave their hometown, leave their own people, come to the land of North Korea, and fight with the American devils.

It was getting dark, and I didn't eat for a day.

Xiao Siping turned his head to look at the sleeping battalion commander and Brother Hao, and heard the sound of his stomach rumbling again, he tied his belt in, he seemed to have long been used to being hungry, his belt was tied in, and his stomach was strangled so that his stomach would not scream.

Silently holding the gun, he continued to guard the deserted village.

A touch of the slanting sun climbed over the mountain, and the ravine became even darker.

It was also at this time that Xia Yuan opened his eyes, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and the darkness around him was dispelled.

Hao Guangjiu was sleeping, Xiao Siping was sitting half-asleep with a gun, only enough for a person to pass through in front of the small hole, planting one by one, sitting alone, plus the two of them had been groping outside last night, and they only came back at dawn, it was normal to be sleepy, and Xia Yuan did not blame him.

Woke Hao Guangjiu up, "We're ready to act." ”

Xiao Siping also woke up and shouted: "Battalion commander." ”

"You're resting here tonight, and you're going to watch tomorrow." Xia Yuan spoke, patted him on the shoulder, took Hao Guangjiu out of the hole, pushed the open stone at the entrance of the cave, carefully observed the surroundings, and made sure that the surroundings were safe, he drilled out first, and then pulled Hao Guangjiu out.

Then he told Xiao Siping: "You stay here, no matter what sound you hear, don't come out until we come back, remember no!" ”

"Battalion commander, I remember!" Xiao Siping held the gun and promised.

Xia Yuan blocked the entrance of the cave with stones, left with Hao Guangjiu, and walked along the ravine towards the mountain.

His legs still had some difficulty in moving, and he was wobbly and limp when he walked. Xia Yuan stared at the distance meticulously, not taking his leg injury to heart at all.

"Night is the world of the volunteers, and the small forces of the American devils will not rush through the mountains and fields, so there is no need to worry too much about encountering the American devils."

Xia Yuan can be said to be very familiar with the U.S. military, when he first entered the world of war, his first opponent was the American devil, in the follow-up war and in the future world to see the interpretation of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, a lot of interpretations about the United Nations Army, the United Nations Army will always make some commotion operations.

In terms of fighting wits and courage, the US army is not the opponent of the volunteers at all, and the main reason for this is that they were beaten too hard by the volunteers, and in five battles, they were directly beaten from the Yalu River to the 38th parallel, and the ace division was crippled and scrapped, and they were beaten in three battles.

Especially at night, their enemies are like ghosts in the night, out of nowhere, and during the second battle, the maneuver is interspersed, and the gods are ghostly, and they beat the American devil's 1st Marine Division into confusion, and even the planes in the sky did not see how the Chinese touched the side of the 1st Marine Division.

Therefore, the current U.S. military is very afraid of the night, so much so that the later U.S. military vigorously developed night vision devices, just to deal with the volunteer army.

The more this is the case with the U.S. military, the more convenient it is for Xia Yuan, not all American devils are not afraid of death, no one wants to come out to perform tasks at night, but they have tried the combat effectiveness of the volunteers at night.

This is not to blame the American devils, if you want to blame their opponents, the ability to fight alone is too terrible.

"Battalion commander, where are we going?" Hao Guangjiu held the gun and looked at the surrounding environment, the moon above his head was still bright, reflecting the surrounding mountains, a white expanse, and the shadows saw the swaying shadows of the trees, the wind blew, and the teeth and claws were dancing.

Hao Guangjiu ignored the surrounding environment, and as Xia Yuan pointed in the direction of the past, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely saw a fire lighting on the valley in the distance.

"That's where the American devils are stationed." Hao Guangjiu understood what Xia Yuan wanted to do, "Battalion commander, we are going to attack the American devil station." ”

Thinking of this, Hao Guangjiu was a little excited, he had appreciated the strength of his battalion commander's leadership, it was absolutely unambiguous, touching the devil's station, it was as simple as drinking water, and getting supplies was not easy to capture.

"Let's go."

Xia Yuan didn't say much, the time was tight, and if he could set off early, he would leave early.

There are only two of them, and there is not much ammunition on their bodies, Xia Yuan still has a dozen magazines left on his body, which is only more than a hundred bullets, and the submachine gun magazines on Hao Guangjiu and Xiao Siping are only seven or eight combined, which is not enough to fight a blocking battle.

Xia Yuan was in a hurry and pondered.

There are too many supplies that are lacking at the moment, some food, some ammunition, and some medicine.

There are also raincoats, coats, etc., and the clothes on their bodies are no longer enough to protect them from the cold.

"I don't know if the division commander has broken through, it shouldn't be, if they break through, their task should be completed."
