Chapter 52: Sacrifice
Yang Dexing and Lu Shengrong are both scouts who have participated in the civil war, and they have no problem fighting hand-to-hand combat.
The two of them followed Xia Yuan, and soon felt that Xia Yuan was extraordinary.
Xia Yuan did not take them straight to the enemy's position, but made a detour and easily entered the enemy's trench.
Yang Dexing and Lu Shengrong spotted the enemy's sentry post, which was next to a machine-gun fire point more than 20 meters away from them.
The two American soldiers were so cold that they hugged their bodies, standing still, and the sound of their chatting could be heard for more than 20 meters, Yang Dexing and Lu Shengrong glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This kid is simply condescending not to be a scout.
They went around in a circle under the nose of the enemy, and successfully entered the enemy's position, but the enemy did not notice them.
Even they didn't find the enemy, and they thought that Xia Yuan was leading them around.
Now, it seems, that's not the case at all.
If, according to their previous experience, they would choose to crawl close to the enemy's position, and when they were close to the enemy's position, they would be able to hear the movement of the US troops coming from the position, and then observe the enemy's movements before making a judgment.
Xia Yuan made a direct judgment and led them to the enemy position cleanly.
This look, this observation, the king of proper scouts.
"Let's go!" Xia Yuan suppressed his voice and led the two of them to quietly approach the enemy.
Yang Dexing and Lu Shengrong took out their bayonets, held them on their backs, and tensed their bodies, like a cheetah ready to attack, the bend of the trench provided them with good protection, and when passing by an enemy's machine-gun fire point, they could still hear the snoring sound from the American troops sleeping in their sleeping bags in the machine gun fire point.
The three of them quickened their pace.
At this moment, the fourth company on the right flank had already arrived at the combat position, and the commander of the fourth company paced back and forth, lifting his sleeves from time to time, glancing at the watch on his wrist, and feeling very surprised when he compared the time: "It's already combat time, why hasn't there been any movement on the fifth company's side?" ”
At this time, the scouts of the fourth company ran over, "Company commander, Pan Yun from the fifth company is here." ”
"What's the situation?" The fourth company commander immediately saw Pan Yun and asked.
"That's right, the situation has changed, our company commander asked you to wait for a while, and if you hear movement on the mountain, immediately launch an attack on the mountain." Pan Yun brought the words of the fifth company commander over.
"Okay, you go and tell Lao Han, don't make us wait too long."
The notification from the commander of the fourth company was in place, and the fifth company also received the signal and began to act.
Xia Yuan and the others had already dealt with the two vigilant American soldiers, Yang Dexing took out the flashlight he carried with him, and signaled into the vast darkness in the distance.
The commander of the fifth company received the signal and immediately ordered the fighters to enter the position.
The whole process went very smoothly, and the soldiers who entered the trench had their hearts beating suddenly, clenching their steel guns in their hands, waiting for the next instructions.
The commander of the fifth company found Xia Yuan and the others and asked about the situation.
Xia Yuan kept his voice to a minimum: "The enemy is not moving, let the soldiers start moving, I estimate that the battle can be solved in half an hour, use more grenades, those American devils are sleeping together." ”
"Good!"
The commander of the fifth company quickly conveyed Xia Yuan's plan in place, and the combat groups began to act.
After a while, the explosion of grenades sounded on the enemy's positions.
The commander of the 4th Company, who heard the movement on the other side, immediately realized that this was a signal from the 5th Company, and immediately ordered the soldiers to attack the top of the mountain.
At this moment, the enemy on the top of the mountain has been attacked by the soldiers of the fifth company, the soldiers are vigorous, quickly shuttle on the position, and stuff the smoking grenades into the enemy's eiderdown sleeping bags, the dazed American troops did not react to what happened, with a shock, only felt that the whole person flew up, and it was dark in front of him, and he didn't remember anything.
Some of the American soldiers woke up, shouted and got up, they didn't even bother to put on their clothes, and when they saw the enemy everywhere on the battlefield, they were already frightened.
"How much did you run?"
Commander Han asked Lao Qi.
"I didn't run much, I died on the ground." Lao Qi smiled, "This battle was fought beautifully, and the American devils were still asleep, so we sent them to see their God." ”
"Report to the company commander, the fourth company commander is here." The scout ran over to report.
Company Commander Han looked at the people coming from afar, and saw the fourth company commander running over violently, and said with a head and face: "Okay, you crazy Han, say let's act together, you don't wait for Lao Tzu, forget it if you don't wait, and don't leave soup to drink." ”
"Hey, the fighters can't be delayed, and the weapons and equipment on this position are all for you." Company Commander Han said with a smile, "This battle was really beautiful, and the battle was resolved in less than half an hour." ”
"Besides, when we run to the mountain, we will not see the enemy." The commander of the fourth company walked to the side, saw those American devils who raised their hands and surrendered, and said in surprise: "There are so many American devils who have been captured." ”
"These are all small problems, the key is that it is dawn, who will watch this mountain." Company Commander Han said: "There are only seventy or eighty people left in the fifth company, and you are in the fourth company." ”
"Well, it's about the same as you." Talking about the casualties, the commander of the fourth company sighed.
"Let's guard this mountain." Company Commander Han thought that they still had Xia Yuan, a big killer, and with him, it was not easy for the little devil to rush up.
"Okay, I won't take all these weapons and equipment, leave some for you, I need support for Pan Yun to say hello to me." The commander of the fourth company saw that the situation on the hilltop position was basically stable, and signaled the soldiers to withdraw with some weapons and equipment.
Retracting his gaze from the figure of the fourth company commander, Company Commander Han found Xia Yuan and told him the plan.
Xia Yuan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "No problem, this mountain is handed over to me." ”
Company Commander Han said: "I will ask a platoon to assist you in holding this position, you can hold it for as long as you can, and if you can't hold it, you will withdraw, and this position itself is also the enemy's." ”
"Okay."
Give yourself a platoon of troops to hold the hill, then it depends on the enemy's firepower.
After the others retreated, Xia Yuan began to arrange the arrangement.
The position on the hill is relatively small, otherwise it would not have been knocked down by them so quickly, small has a small disadvantage, Xia Yuan decided to build fortifications on the anticline, and adopted the way of Shangganling.
But obviously, they did not have time to dig tunnels on the anti-slope, and could only dig some bomb craters and bomb shelters to simply avoid the damage caused by American shells.
Sure enough, in the early morning, the sky shimmered, and the enemy shelling arrived.
The shelling lasted for more than ten minutes and did not stop, and when I looked at the front from the rear position, the smoke of gunpowder covering the sky covered a large area of the sky, and I could not see anything, I could not see anything clearly, let alone what the comrades on the position were doing.
Lao Qi looked worried, and said to Company Commander Han: "Old Han, something is not quite right, the American devils have been shelling like this, I am afraid that they will wipe out all the defenders on the position." ”
Company Commander Han looked at the smoke rolled up by the shell bombardment, and he also felt uneasy in his heart.
Lao Qi's other words quickly made him give an order: "Since Xia Yuan was able to take us to the devil's position quietly last night, I think there is nothing wrong with giving up the front position to the enemy, and fighting them in a wave, we have also captured a lot of materials, and we can completely give up the front position to the American devils." ”
Lao Qi's words seemed to make Han Lian Chang wake up, and carefully consider Lao Qi's words, this is simply treating the position on the opposite hill as a pig farm, and if you go to collect a wave every night, you can harvest a lot of weapons and equipment.
If they hold their ground, they may suffer even more sacrifices.
"Pan Yun, go, let Xia Yuan and them withdraw!"
Company Commander Han thought about whether to hold on or give up, and it was obvious that holding on required sacrifice, and giving up was just losing the position.
If people lose land, people and land will survive. If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost.
The enemy used artillery fire to block not only the hill ahead, but also the ravine. The young soldier Pan Yun was more witty, sometimes leaping forward, sometimes lying down, and finally got through the cracks in the artillery fire and sent the company commander's order to Xia Yuan.
At this moment, Xia Yuan and the others were still holding on to their positions, and when the enemy's artillery fire extended backwards, the enemy's infantry had already pasted up.
On the one hand, they used captured American sappers to dig bunker fortifications to avoid fighting.
Having repelled two attacks by the enemy, it is still countering the attack of one company of the enemy, and it is also the third counterattack.
Zhao Xiaoyi sent Xia Yuan a large number of grenades, which were captured from the US military position last night, and left a few boxes on the position.
Xia Yuan dropped his rifle, grabbed the grenades and fired the bow left and right, one by one the grenades crossed the sky, landed in the sky above the enemy group and exploded, and the enemy was knocked to the ground, letting out a terrible scream.
The strength of the enemy's company, under the fierce throw of Xia Yuan's grenades, was quickly defeated and retreated.
The platoon leader whose cheeks were blackened by gunpowder smoke said excitedly: "Xia Yuan, you are like a humanoid mortar, you really mean where to bomb." ”
Dong Benxin, the commander of the first platoon, cooperated with Xia Yuan, held his position, and was responsible for countering the attack of a company of the enemy.
More than 100 people, close to 200 enemies, scattered in the mountains, attacking the hilltop position, with only more than 20 people in a platoon, to resist the attack of a company of the enemy in a decent manner, the whole process is actually very difficult.
But they held on.
The strength of the enemy's company was not repulsed by them, but by the airburst mines that flew by.
Dong Benxin was quite happy to see such a capable warrior for the first time, and this battle was also fought quite happily, and many enemies were destroyed by them, and corpses were all over the mountains.
Pan Yun's order came down, and Dong Benxin said: "The position is held, why let us retreat." ”
"Platoon Commander Dong, the company commander must have his plans, as for what the plans are, I don't know, he just asked us to convey the order." Pan Yun said quickly: "Hurry up, the shells of the American devils will fall again." ”
"Okay!"
Dong Benxin looked at Xia Yuan, but saw that Xia Yuan was packing up his things, so he didn't say anything more.
A platoon quickly withdrew from its position.
Not long after they withdrew, the shells of the American devils fell on the hill again.
The bombing lasted for half an hour, and then everyone lay on their positions and vaguely saw a figure shaking on the hill, obviously the American devils had captured the hill ahead.
"After such a toss, I don't think the American devils will attack our position today."
Company Commander Han stared at the opposite hill, ordered the scouts to be on guard, leaned back in the trench, and spat out hot air.
"It's not, they lost a lot of troops last night, and they were beaten by Xia Yuan like this today, where can they still raise their morale to fight us." When Lao Qi spoke, his eyes stared at Xia Yuan, revealing undisguised affection.
Powerful warriors don't like it, let alone in this war era, the warriors are simple-minded, worship the strong, and sympathize with the weak.
Xia Yuan was only seventeen years old, and he could do it to this extent, and a combat hero would not be able to run away in the future.
Dawn on the 6th.
The 5th Company fell into a fierce battle again, attacking the 6th Company's square hill, and the regimental headquarters issued an operational order document, and the position was handed over to the 4th Company to assist in defense.
The first platoon served as the main attack, and the command was handed over to Dong Benxin, because when Dong Benxin first attacked Feihu Mountain, he was responsible for attacking the hilltop position of the Sixth Company.
He was familiar with the terrain.
Before the action, Dong Benxin said: "Comrades, when you applied for support to enter the DPRK, you were determined to make meritorious contributions to the motherland, and now is the time, comrades, rush!" ”
Dong Benxin led the second squad into the position, and the first and third squads arrived later, and the enemy left five corpses, a recoilless gun, and three automatic rifles, and fled.
Soldier Li Wenping followed and chased an enemy with a heavy machine gun, and Dong Benxin and others also followed, destroying more than a dozen fleeing enemies head-on.
When they occupied the hill again, the enemy opened fire on the hill without stopping, and in a short time, the hill was engulfed in thick smoke.
Pan Yun and the deputy platoon commander were lying together, and the platoon leader Dong Benxin was under a small tree, and a shell split the big tree next to Pan Yun, and the soil raised buried Pan Yun and the deputy platoon commander.
The deputy platoon commander shook off the soil on his body, touched his face, it was slimy, his face was bleeding, and he shouted again: "Pan Yun? ”
Pan Yun arched out of the soil and smiled with his extraordinarily white teeth: "I'm fine." ”
The deputy platoon commander went to call the platoon commander Dong Benxin again, but he didn't hear Dong Benxin's response after calling a few times, and the deputy platoon commander was shocked, but at the moment his face was hot and painful, and his head was dizzy, he gritted his teeth and insisted: "Go and see the platoon leader!" ”
Pan Yun ran over to see that Dong Benxin had stopped breathing, and when he touched the platoon leader's body again, a huge cut was made in his stomach, and red blood was constantly gushing out.
Pan Yun's tears couldn't be stopped all of a sudden, "Deputy platoon commander, the platoon commander has sacrificed." ”
"Don't cry, see if the enemy is coming."
The deputy platoon commander was not in a good state, burying his head and holding his drowsy head against it, thinking about the bits and pieces of the days before the war and the platoon commander.
The platoon commander has been holding back his strength in the past few days, and his mother wrote: "Now I believe that the country is ours, our family's life is much better than before, the crops in the field have been harvested, there are still a lot of surplus grains, and you can eat white flour steamed buns. ”
Now that US imperialism is vainly trying to destroy the good life of his hometown, Dong Benxin's gun has long condensed hatred for the aggressor!
