The battle was the fiercest in the past few days, and the enemy frantically attacked the position, and the forward position held by five companies and three platoons was a small hill with a patch of pine and dry grass.

As soon as the morning dawned, more than a dozen enemy planes bombarded the positions of the three rows against the treetops, followed by dozens of artillery shells together, as if to wipe out the small hill held by the three rows.

Several attacks by the enemy infantry failed, and the annoyed enemy began to bomb again with planes and artillery, and the earth on the three rows of positions was turned over and over, and all the fortifications built collapsed, and all the trees were cut down to bare poles.

When the enemy attacked, the three-row position was like an erupting volcano, and the fighters lay in the crater, repulsing the enemy's charge after charge.

At dusk, the enemy ignited the pine and withered grass around the three-row position, and the fire rolled black smoke into the three-row position, and groups of Li's puppet troops took the opportunity to rush up again.

The soldiers of the third platoon did not panic, calmly aimed at the enemy, thinking of countermeasures.

Platoon commander Ma Zengkui blinked, and suddenly ordered the deputy squad leader of the seventh squad to take people to extinguish the fire.

The deputy squad leader led half of the squad of fighters to hide on the flanks of the position and behind the big trees, and when the fire was close, they repelled the soldiers of the Li puppet army behind the fire with a row of grenades, and then used grenades to extinguish the flames that spread to the position.

When it was completely dark, there was no sound on the battlefield except for the crackling of unburned wood.

Some soldiers smiled and said: "This Li puppet army is good, the weather is cold, and he knows how to set fire to warm our bodies." ”

Everyone's black face showed a mouthful of white teeth, and they smiled.

On the oppressive battlefield, everyone has long learned to make fun in suffering, which is also the strong quality of the soldiers.

The night was quieter, and the men lay on their stomachs on the hot positions, listening to the cries and shouts coming from the bottom of the hill, and the soldiers saw the enemy officers punishing their soldiers with sticks by the lights of the enemy's cars.

Those shouts were made by the officers, and they were very loud, and they were very fast and angry, but they just didn't understand them.

Those cries were made by the soldiers of the Li puppet army, and they were beaten by the officer's stick, and the soldiers covered their buttocks and twisted their legs.

The fighters on the battlefield looked at it with a smile.

Suddenly, six colorful signal flares rose at the bottom of the mountain, and the soldiers put away their smiles and stared at the enemy at the bottom of the mountain.

"Grandma's, it's not safe at night!"

Some fighters spat and cursed, stuffing their anger into the magazine.

However, these Li puppet troops were already frightened by the volunteers on the position, and they lay down more than 30 meters away from the three-row position and did not move.

The soldiers of the third platoon cherished the grenades and bullets in their hands, and at a distance of less than 20 meters, they would not fire, and it seemed that the enemy had recognized the shooting distance of the volunteers and maintained a relatively safe distance.

In this way, the position seemed to fall silent again, and only the colored flares in the sky dissipated.

Some of the fighters were in a hurry and fired a shot, trying to lure the enemy up.

But instead of coming up, the enemy heard the gunfire and began to run down the mountain, and the other soldiers of Li's puppet army stood up and began to run down the hill as well.

On this day, the third platoon repelled seven attacks by one company of the enemy, and on a small position two hundred meters long, two thousand shells and bombs were dropped, however, instead of knocking down the position, the enemy threw down nearly a hundred corpses.

And the casualties of the third platoon have already been more than half.

When Company Commander Han reported the situation of the day to the battalion commander, the battalion commander said happily: "Good, good! I will play even better in the future! You tell the comrades of the third platoon that the instructor and I congratulate them on their merits! Condolences! ”

Ma Zengkui, the commander of the third platoon standing next to the telephone, interjected: "Company commander, you tell the battalion commander that our determination to shoot the whole shot is either to sacrifice gloriously for the motherland, or the motherland hangs the medal on our chest!" ”

The battalion commander's voice of encouragement immediately came from the microphone: "I believe that you will definitely hang the medal of the motherland!" ”

Xia Yuan did not participate in the follow-up battle, and the third company was also attacked frantically, before the enemy received a huge blow in the position of the third company, a reinforced company of more than two hundred people, only ran back more than twenty, so the enemy hated the three companies on the hill to the core.

On the same day, a frenzied retaliation was launched against the positions of the three companies, and at noon, two companies of the enemy hit the forward positions of the three companies lined up, and the positions of the three rows on the flanks were occupied.

The degree of fierce fighting is not much worse than that of the main peak.

Feng Yuxiang pinched his waist and stared at the dense gunpowder smoke over the hill where the third company was stationed, and he couldn't see through it at all.

"The enemy is crazy!"

At noon that day, when he learned that the situation of the main peak was stable, he urgently transferred Xia Yuan back and returned to the third company.

Xia Yuan joined the third platoon and accompanied the smorgasbord of Li puppet army and the U.S. army on the counterattack position in the third platoon.

He still exerted his subjective initiative, Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao have been following him closely, after the first few cooperations, the cooperation of the three of them is quite perfect, the two of them gave the fire reinforcements to the attacking soldiers in front of them, and at the same time provided the ammunition on their bodies to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan maximized his shooting and throwing, and grenades kept smashing on the enemy's head, but whenever the enemy came out of his head, he would be bombarded head-on by grenades.

More than a dozen grenades were smashed down in a row, the enemy's firepower was suppressed, and the defensive circle built by several enemies was also eliminated by him, and three platoons entered the position and fought with the enemy, and an hour later, the enemy left more than 50 corpses on the position and began to flee frantically down the mountain.

Instead of succeeding, the enemy who came to retaliate was dealt a more severe blow, and the hill remained firmly in the hands of the soldiers of the Third Company.

The Battle of Feihu Mountain was the first severe contest between the 38th Army and the US Army and the Li Puppet Army when it entered Korea.

There are quite a lot of enemy artillery and aircraft, and even the puppet army and all the artillery of the American army located in Valekawa are able to shell Feihu Mountain at the same time, and the ability of long-range artillery support is outrageous.

At the same time, their right neighbor, the U.S. Ninth Army, can launch a joint attack with it.

Because of the large number of planes in the air and the low flying speed, coupled with the large density of their shells, they were able to hit their own planes, and this kind of battle was something that the soldiers had never seen in the civil war, and it was also the first time in their lives.

In the brutal battle, there are inevitably some cowards.

The regimental guard company arranged in the weak section was tight, and the deputy instructor and the third platoon commander could not stand it, so they ran down the mountain with seven or eight people, and said in a panic: "Regiment leader, withdraw quickly, the enemy is coming!" ”

Fan Tianen and Zhao Xiaoyun sat still, Fan Tianen glared at them angrily, his heart trembled with anger, he thought that this position could not be lost so quickly, and immediately asked: "The position is lost!?" ”

These two people were silent, Fan Tianen understood more in his heart that he could not forgive such soldiers who escaped from the battle, and he said sharply: "Yin Yueyou! ”

"Here!"

"Escort them back to their positions! If the position is not lost, shoot me on the spot! ”

"Yes!"

Yin Yueyou was a reconnaissance staff officer of the regiment, and he immediately escorted the deputy instructor of the guard company and the commander of the third platoon away.

Political commissar Zhao Xiaoyun felt that human life was at stake, and advised the regiment commander to be cautious, Fan Tianen did not squeak at first, and then picked up the phone angrily to ask the head of the division, and it was Li Zhongxin, the deputy division, who answered the phone.

Fan Tianen told the deputy division that the deputy instructor of the guard company and the commander of the third platoon had escaped from the battle, and that the deputy division could not make decisions on his own, and said: "You should tell the political commissar directly." ”

He transferred the call to political commissar Li Jitai.

Li Jitai figured out the situation and advised: "War is cruel, it is understandable that some people are timid and afraid, it is not appropriate to take such measures, you can give him more opportunities to exercise." ”

Li Jitai's reply made Fan Tianen calm down, and immediately sent a messenger to chase Yin Yueyou.

At this time, the company guards had already counterattacked the enemy, and the messenger chased to the position out of breath and conveyed the new order of the regiment commander to Yin Yueyou.

The deputy instructor and the third platoon commander who have endured this time have grown a lot, and in the ensuing battle, the two also showed a strong will to fight, and never escaped from the position.

The so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, this is the wise saying of military strategists!

The enemy attacking Feihu Mountain is not only tentative, it is trying to seize this high ground and open up a way for it to continue its northward advance.

Although the task of luring the enemy into the depths of the Volunteer Army was not clear, the soldiers were determined to hold on to the defense, contain the enemy, and also strive to annihilate the first division of the puppet seventh division.

The battle at Feihu Mountain was very fierce, and Chief of Staff Jiang of the Military Headquarters really couldn't rest assured about the battle on the front line, so he led some of his staff officers to the frontline command post of the 112th Division, which was a mine cave on the mountainside of Feihu Mountain.

Division commander Yang Dayi and deputy division Li Zhongxin are here.

As soon as you arrive at the division command, you can feel the fierceness of the battle on the front line, the mountain trembles, and the roar continues to come from the positions on the front line, standing at the entrance of the cave and looking at the sky, the smoke covering the sky and the sun covers the blue sky, and the sky of the entire Feihu Mountain is also gloomy at this moment, as if the end of the world is over.

Seeing the fierce fighting on the front line, Chief of Staff Jiang asked the deputy division to go to the main force stationed at Feihu Mountain, and the headquarters of the 335th Regiment to take a look.

When Li Zhongxin arrived at the regiment headquarters, Fan Tianen was very happy to see the division commander coming: "Division commander, you are really here, the battle situation in the past two days has not been explained in detail to the division, and I am also writing the content." ”

Li Zhongxin picked up most of the battle situations written by Fan Tianen and looked at them, and then asked about the detailed battle situation in the past two days, and after listening to it, he said: "You fought very bravely, are there any difficulties?" Bring it up, and the division will try its best to meet your needs. ”

Fan Tianen said firmly: "You can insist!" I hope the division can support us with some ammunition, as long as there is ammunition, the rest is not a problem! ”

Ammunition is difficult in this period, with the elongation of the battle line of the Volunteer Army, and the blockade of enemy planes is severe, food and ammunition cannot be transported.

It was also because their logistical supply lines were blocked so difficult that all kinds of supplies could not come up, that the army decided to take out the stored supplies and transport them to all divisions and regiments.

But these supplies are very few, after all, the army has to march and fight, and it is impossible to carry so many supplies on the road.

As a result, supplies are scarce and distributed.

Now it seems that I have to figure it out on my own.

Li Zhongxin and Fan Tianen studied how to solve the ammunition and how to hold the position.

Fan Tianen suddenly mentioned something: "A soldier in the third company of the first battalion won a great victory, eliminated a reinforced company of the enemy, and captured a lot of weapons and ammunition. ”

"Oh, what's the name of that little warrior, but I have to give him credit for it." Hearing this, Li Zhongxin raised his head and asked.

"Xia Yuan."

"Xia Yuan? It's a familiar name, I remember when I was in the North East, the little soldier who broke the throwing record, isn't it also called this name? Li Zhongxin remembered and said to Fan Tianen.

"yes, that's the name." Fan Tianen said: "Later, I transferred this soldier to the main peak to cooperate with the fifth company, and won several battles, especially a night raid, which wiped out the strength of a company of the puppet army, and also captured a batch of weapons and equipment. ”

"I've heard the political commissar say that such a soldier is very suitable for leading troops into battle." Li Zhongxin said.

"Xia Yuan is only seventeen years old, I plan to let the third company form a four-platoon to form a reinforced company, and he will be the leader of the fourth platoon, his raid operations are very powerful, including falling behind before, attacking the US military station, and seizing a truckload of supplies, it can be seen that he is very suitable for this." Fan Tianen said.

"That's a good fit for a scout." Li Zhongxin nodded slowly, "Then let him start as a platoon commander first, and then give him a reconnaissance company commander." ”

"Okay."

After Li Zhongxin returned to the division headquarters, Staff Officer Jiang asked him about the situation at Feihu Mountain, and then asked: "Can you still fight?" ”

Li Zhongxin said: "I think I can fight!" ”

Staff Officer Jiang pondered for a moment and agreed to continue the fight, which is also necessary to gain time and cover the adjustment of the troops' deployment.

Staff Officer Jiang planned to invite Comrade Li Zhongxin to go to the military headquarters to talk to the chiefs and put forward their demands so that the chiefs could make up their minds to continue the fight, and he also planned to leave for the military headquarters, because he had already obtained what he wanted on this trip so that he could study the next move.

At this time, it was not yet dark, and it was still daytime, and enemy planes were rampant over Feihu Mountain.

When Li Zhongxin had just returned from Feihu Mountain, there was no water in the division headquarters.

The guards lit a fire just outside the cave and sat on the kettle. Unexpectedly, the small fireworks would actually cause strafing and bombing by enemy planes, and the kettle was also pierced, and the guards had no choice but to go to the ravine to get some clean snow and put it in the pot to warm it.

When Staff Officer Jiang was about to leave, Yang Dayi said: "There are too many planes here, and it is too dangerous. ”

"Don't get in the way, don't be afraid of fewer people."

After returning from the front-line division, Staff Officer Jiang and his guards came to the Wadong of the command post of the 112th Division, which was a tunnel in addition to the personnel of the 112th Division's post-government and rear organs, and also had a battlefield bandaging station, which seemed to be very crowded.

At the northern end of the tunnel, there was already a truck with luggage, a command vehicle, and an American-style military truck, with a small amount of canned supplies on the truck, and a bloodstained dressing on the edge of the truck's body.

Later, another medium-sized truck drove into the hole, which made it even more crowded.
