As the commander of the 335th Regiment, from the feedback of the battalions, companies and platoons, he could feel the shortage of food and ammunition, especially food, continuous marching and fighting, not to mention that the soldiers' food bars were empty, and even the regimental headquarters was now short of food.

But no one whined because they were hungry and threw themselves into intense combat preparations.

During the day, Fan Tianen led the cadres of the battalion and company and the Surveying and Mapping Institute to repeatedly observe the terrain on the opposite mountain of Jiulong Mountain, which is opposite Feihu Mountain, against the map.

Flying Tiger Mountain is like a curved sickle, the back of the knife is facing the direction of Junyuli, the mountain is dense with pine trees and overgrown weeds, which is convenient for the troops to conceal, and the dense vegetation is also convenient for the enemy to use fire attack.

The attack on Feihu Mountain was a huge test for the 335th Regiment, and the enemy relied on Feihu Mountain and backed the military corner to occupy an absolute advantage.

The surveyor's name is Wang Chunxi, and he is full of guts. The brilliant imp, not very old, nineteen years old, is an orphan, who was found by Pham Tien En in the cellar of a village swept by the enemy during the Liberation War, his parents were killed by the reactionaries, and Fan Tien En took him in.

Later, I found that this kid was unforgettable, and he was able to memorize maps, and after becoming a surveyor, he even had the title of 'living map'.

He could tell where there was an extra village or a few trees on the land, and every avant-garde battalion had to borrow him as a guide.

Fan Tianen loves this clever little ghost very much, and takes him with him every time he sets out or checks the terrain.

After carefully observing the terrain of Feihu Mountain, Fan Tianen slowly put down the binoculars, looked around at the surrounding cadres, and asked Chen Dejun, deputy commander of the second battalion: "Chen Dejun, how do you think you fight?" ”

Chen Dejun looked at the Feihu Mountain on the opposite side and said: "The right side of Feihu Mountain is the mountain beam, and the locals say that the altitude over there is more than 700 meters. ”

Fan Tianen nodded and said: "There is new soil on the right, there may be enemies, point to the left, hit from the depression, attack at five o'clock tomorrow morning, what time do you estimate that you can shoot it down?" ”

"Nine o'clock, almost." Chen Dejun said.

Fan Tianen said 'um', and seemed to acquiesce to Deputy Battalion Commander Chen's play.

The officers and men of the 335th Regiment are stationed in a valley not far from Feihu Mountain, the terrain near Feihu Mountain is complicated, the mountain is steep, the vegetation in the valley is dense, the snow has not yet melted a few days ago, and the Third Company has built a temporary shack in a forest using grass and trees.

Company Commander Sun had just received a commendation order from the regiment headquarters, and the telegram mentioned Xia Yuan and Xiao Heping, but Zhou Mao did not participate in the action, and the division headquarters was still very strict with the review of the commendation order.

And these commendation orders can be promulgated, not only Zhao Yiyi, Da Lao Liu, and Zhou Mao testify for the two, but even the comrades of the 39th Army who attacked Zhuren Bridge.

"Translator Zhao, Lao Hu, come and take a look, these three boys have made a great contribution."

Company Commander Zhang held two commendation orders in his hands.

One was awarded to Xia Yuan and Xiao Heping, and the other was awarded to three people.

They made meritorious contributions to the attack on Zhuren Bridge, and the commendation order was drawn up by the 39th Army and sent to the division headquarters of the 112th Division of the 38th Army, and then the headquarters of the 112th Division issued it to them.

"Quick, go get them here." Instructor Hu showed joy on his face, and hurriedly asked the correspondent to find the three people.

"Comrade Xia Yuan deserves to get this credit, at that time, we were only separated by a mountain from the US military division, and it was entirely because of Xia Yuan's astuteness that we came out." Translator Zhao looked at the two commendation orders and was happy for Xia Yuan.

"Translator Zhao, tell me about the situation at that time." Company Commander Zhang asked curiously.

"After coming back at that time, Xia Yuan let us leave, he said that the American army division was stationed in the town under the mountain, and if it can be stationed, it means that our troops have not yet attacked, and they want us to return the same way" Translator Zhao explained the situation in detail at that time, and when he saw Xia Yuan, Zhou Mao and Xiao Heping coming over, he said:

"Company commander, they're coming."

"It's okay, you go on."

After arriving at Zhuren Bridge, Xia Yuan went to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and found that the friendly troops were attacking the enemy halfway up the mountain, so he took Zhou Mao and Xiao Heping to touch behind the enemy, flank back and forth, and eliminate the enemy in that position. It lasted until the next day, and when the reinforcements of the 39th arrived, the Zhuren Bridge was successfully captured. ”

Even everyone listened quietly, Zhao Yi's language organization skills were quite good, and the vivid images he depicted were all sweaty for Xia Yuan when they talked about the critical moment when the US military planes bombed the valley.

But when it came to Xia Yuan's single-handedness and holding a position, everyone's eyes changed.

"Old Sun, do you remember the first time we participated in the battle? The eldest Liu took Xia Yuan and broke several enemy bunkers in a row. Instructor Hu said suddenly.

"Remember, why don't you remember, this kid is simply a sharpshooter, and he can hit the enemy's pillbox machine gun at night." Company Commander Sun looked at Xia Yuan, his eyes revealed love, such a soldier, how could there be a commander and fighter who didn't like it.

"When there is a task in the battalion, our company has to fight for it, if there is such a sharpshooter, if you don't use it, it won't be wasted!"

"Hurry, come here, this is the commendation given to you by the division, it's really rare, we even came to North Korea, and the first commendation we received was actually the cooking class."

Company Commander Sun beckoned Xia Yuan and the three of them to come over.

At this time, Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao had excitement and excitement on their faces, they had been in the army for so long, and it was the first time they had received a commendation, and this commendation was not in the regiment, but in the division.

This is a matter of glorious ancestors, can the two of them not be excited.

On the other hand, Xia Yuan is relatively calm, when he participated in the Korean battlefield before, he received many awards, and such awards were really soft.

"Company Commander Xie!"

"If you want to thank you, thank Xia Yuan, this time you are behind, if it weren't for Xia Yuan, maybe you wouldn't be able to come back."

"Xia Yuan, thank you."

Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao were still very sincere, and as soon as the company commander said this, the two immediately turned their heads to express their gratitude to Xia Yuan.

"Thank you, they're all brothers." Xia Yuanle said.

"By the way, we may be going to attack Flying Tiger Mountain in the next two days, Xia Yuan, you are now a well-deserved sharpshooter, no one is as accurate as you, if we even win the task of taking the lead, when we get to the battlefield, you don't drop the chain."

Company Commander Sun said again.

"Please rest assured, company commander, I will not drop the chain!"

Night.

It was drizzling around Feihu Mountain.

The command post of the 335th Regiment was set up in a lead mine cave, where Fan Tai Nen explained the task to the battalion commanders.

Everyone had not eaten yet, and after explaining the task, Fan Tianen asked the communicator to bring biscuits to entertain the battalion commanders, which they had captured from the five cars they intercepted when they intercepted the enemy in Xichuan.

At that time, the division criticized them for their poor discipline and disowned all the seized biscuits, canned food, sugar cubes and whiskey.

In fact, this was done intentionally by Fan Tianen, when there was already a food shortage in the troops, many companies had already run out of food, and many soldiers were hungry to fight.

Fan Tianen saw that the five cars were loaded with food, and intended to replenish the troops, so he ordered to rest in place.

As a result, all the food on the five cars was divided by the battalions of the 335th Regiment, and when the 335th Regiment arrived at Feihu Mountain, there was still food for the company, which had already been eaten.

Now the biscuits he uses are already the few biscuits left, Fan Tianen knows the difficulty of attacking Feihu Mountain, if you don't eat these biscuits, many people may not be able to eat them.

The battalion commanders chewed biscuits, and Fan Tianen pointed to the military map: "The northward highway in Junyuli leads to Xichuan, Jiangjie, and Manpu, and we came along this road, and when the enemy retreated, it was also along this road, and this road pointed directly to Junyuli, and Feihu Mountain radiated this road, and Junyuli, the importance of occupying Feihu Mountain, I won't talk about it more." ”

Seeing that the regiment commander had begun to explain the combat mission, the battalion commanders stopped chewing one after another, and their thoughts followed the fingers of Regiment Commander Fan Tianen and flew from Manpu over the Yalu River, where the mountains and rivers of the motherland were.

They vividly remembered the crimes they had seen committed by the enemy on both sides of the road as they marched south.

Fan Tianen continued: "Opposite Manpu is the motherland's Ji'an, and this highway is also the route that the enemy wants to advance north. ”

The battalion commanders quietly watched the regiment commander's every move.

"Feihu Mountain is occupied by an enemy regiment, and our task is to take Feihu Mountain, and then press it into the corner of the army, choke the enemy's neck, and beat it severely."

Between Jiulong Mountain and Feihu Mountain, there is an open land of about five kilometers, with a dry river in the middle, which is the area of the enemy's artillery blockade.

At dawn the next day, light rain continued to fall, and the Feihu Mountain, which was more than 600 meters high, was shrouded in thin rain and mist.

At 4:10 a.m. in the early morning, the 2nd Battalion, which was the main attacker, was lightly armed, threw down backpacks, catalpa pickaxes and other tools, and launched an attack on the defending enemy at Feihu Mountain.

The enemy, having received a surprise attack, quickly organized artillery and blocked the open field.

The mission of the 1st and 3rd Battalions was to garrison one battalion of U.S. troops on the east and west hills.

The mountains are densely forested and the air is cold, and with the thin curtain of rain, the temperature drops suddenly.

Company Commander Sun arrived at the foot of the mountain with the third company, listening to the roar in the distance, he suppressed his voice, "Our company is the main attacker, and the battalion commander wants us to attack before nine o'clock, can we complete the task!" ”

"Yes!"

The fighters squatted on the ground, holding steel guns, and their momentum was majestic.

"Xia Yuan!"

"Here!"

"I'll rely on you to fire the first shot of the battle later!" Company Commander Sun said.

"Please rest assured, company commander, I promise that the machine guns of the American devils will not go off." Xia Yuan's eyes were firm.

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved." Company Commander Sun nodded: "Hurry up and act!" ”

"Yes!"

The third platoon is a reserve platoon, which is ready to provide support, the second platoon is the main attack platoon, and the third platoon is responsible for the left flank of the second platoon.

In this way, picking up the wet bushes, against the drizzling rain, the pine trees that smashed on the top of their heads, fell to the ground again, and between the mountains and forests, a few shadows quickly approached the enemy's position.

Because the battle on the side of the main peak had begun, the enemy on this side was awakened, but before they could react, several American devils stood in the trench of the position, looking in the direction of the main peak, chattering and not knowing what to say.

Bang!

Between the mountains and forests, the rain curtain is dripping.

A gunshot tore through the silence in the forest.

One of the American soldiers who was talking had his steel helmet lifted off and his body fell to the ground as if he had been whipped with a whip.

“fuck！ The enemy is coming! ”

The few remaining American troops quickly retreated into the trenches.

Seeing this, the second platoon commander shouted: "Up! ”

Between the densely vegetated mountains and forests, dozens of figures suddenly emerged, quickly running towards the enemy, and they were in groups of three, all over the mountains, like an open giant net, covering the enemy's position.

In the jungle, Xia Yuan hid, after turning on night vision and eagle eye, the thin rain curtain, coupled with the sky that had not yet shone, had a sudden decrease in his impact, and his sight fell on the enemy's short machine gun bunker, through the gun hole, he saw the panicked American machine gunners in the bunker, and set up the machine gun in a panic.

The machine gun still spewed out a chain of fire and sank into the mountains.

Whoosh, a bullet whirled, tearing through the rain curtain mixed with the sound of breaking through the air, sinking into the hole, tearing the heavy's steel helmet and skull, and the latter's body fell straight to the ground, clenching the hands of the machine gun, and dragging the erected machine gun to the ground.

The secondary shooter next to him looked at the other party's head in shock, and it flowed down from his head in multiple streams.

The sub-shooter was already stupefied.

“fuck！ Why don't you shoot yet, the enemy is already fighting! ”

An American lieutenant roared from behind the bunker, and the few enemy shells fell sporadically on the position, rolling up black dirt mixed with rain and falling on him.

The deputy shooter looked horrified, "Sir, the enemy has a sharpshooter!" ”

"Fuck sharpshooter! Shoot now, you coward, the enemy is coming! ”

The American lieutenant angrily scolded the machine gunners, seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and their forward position was only a platoon of soldiers, and it seemed that they could not stop the enemy's attack at all.

If the machine guns are not fired again, the forward positions will definitely be lost.

In the crooked trenches, more than 30 American troops are rising up to resist.

There was the whistling of sporadic shells overhead, and an American soldier was still grinning, pulling the trigger while loudly saying to the soldiers around him: "Our commander is right, they are a group of backward primitive people, look, there are only a few shells in them, and they can't pose a threat to us at all." ”

"Hey, bro, don't get too happy, I've heard that the brother forces on the front line have been defeated by them."

"That's damn it, they were actually defeated by a group of primitives, hahahaha!"

Just as he was laughing wildly, the shells above his head fell into the trenches behind him, killing three American soldiers on the spot.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the scene shocked him.

"Damn, they're coming up!"

The exclamations of soldiers were heard in my ears.

He subconsciously turned his head to look ahead, the black dense forest, the thin rain curtain, and a large black shadow could be vaguely seen, approaching the position.

And at a distance of less than fifty meters from their forward positions.
