Chapter 54: The Warriors Who Are Strong and Unyielding
Staff Officer Jiang entered the cave and, in the faint candlelight, visited the wounded.
Some medical personnel were bandaging and nursing the wounded, and the cadres of the organs were talking on the phone and working on the office, and the shouts of feeding, talking, turning over documents, and the moaning of the wounded were mixed together.
Outside the cave, an enemy reconnaissance plane was always hovering overhead.
The fact that stretchers transporting the wounded in and out of the hole was unsafe and went unnoticed.
The pesky 'Black Widow' has finally flown away.
There will be a price of blood!
Staff Officer Jiang will never forget this blood debt of the US army, and after the incident, he organized cadres to deal with the aftermath of the martyrs, and 232 comrades died, including several female comrades who had entered the DPRK in the division logistics department one after another, as well as 12 battalion and regiment cadres who also sacrificed their lives to rescue the wounded.
November 7th.
Some of them participated in the revolution at the age of 13, experienced the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the three-year War of Liberation, and were born and died for the liberation of the motherland.
But the ferocity of the enemy and the bravery of the warriors, as well as the encouragement of the wounded, made them grow rapidly and became fearless people.
Staff Officer Jiang shouted out to the bushes on the hillside and beckoned, "Telephone, telephone!" ”
Along the way, Staff Officer Jiang could not calm down for a long time, that is, in order to deal with the enemy's air supremacy, he thought that it seemed to be safe to find a cave, he did not have a good understanding of the cruelty and madness and destructive power of the US imperialists, and he was not able to take precautions, and in fighting against the modern enemy army, the commanders must consider the issues in a comprehensive and thoughtful manner, and the slightest negligence would cause great losses.
During the exercise, Li Yonggui was wounded in his left leg, he gritted his teeth and tore off his cotton clothes, tightly strangled himself in the position of the wounded, and limped to the battalion command post to carry back 125 rounds of machine gun ammunition.
On this day, the five companies repelled the enemy's second onslaught.
He sighed deeply and said to the guards: "Tell Comrade Li Jitai to immediately organize personnel to properly dispose of the bodies of martyrs, and also to do a good job in the ideological work of the personnel of the organs after the administration and administration." ”
Some female comrades held on to the wounded and were ready to rescue them at any time.
They had just housed the wounded in the school, when the damned US imperialist planes came again, and the school was in rubble, and they carried the wounded into caves, but the enemy planes still did not let go, and some comrades covered the wounded with their bodies, and in order to solve the shelters of the wounded, they dug air-raid shelters while nursing, and some of the wounded needed to be transferred back to the motherland for treatment, and at night they had to carry or carry the wounded on their backs to the car.
"Tell everyone to stay calm, organize people to protect the wounded, move out as soon as possible, and not be blocked in this hole by enemy planes."
After returning to the military headquarters, Staff Officer Jiang, after handling all the reports that had gone to the 112th Division, recorded the incident in a notebook and wrote:
"We must keep in mind their last wish that they are determined to defeat the American invaders and bandits, do not forget this blood debt, and must destroy more enemies to repay the last wish of the Sinan martyrs!"
There is no rest day and night.
"Is the cave in danger?"
'Black Widow', this is the nickname given by the fighters in the cave to the enemy's reconnaissance plane.
The guard came back and said, "Chief, except for a few who came out, most of them died in the cave. ”
Under such great glory, a group of soldiers stood still in the face of a menacing enemy.
On the front line, it was they who withstood the enemy's guns with their flesh and blood, and now they are wounded, and the cadres of the agency use their bodies to resist the menacing fireworks.
Staff Officer Cui came and went in a hurry, the plane was still hovering overhead, and advised the chief: "Chief, we can't stay in the hole, the plane of the American devils has already targeted us." ”
Staff Officer Jiang struggled, he couldn't speak because of the thick smoke, and he coughed vigorously, but as soon as everyone hugged him, he was wrapped up in the flow of people and walked out of the hole.
Later, an enemy plane reconnaissance discovered the Huaping Station, a military station, and thought that there was a volunteer garrison here, so they immediately dispatched enemy planes to strafe and bomb, turning an east-west street into a rubble and ruins.
The cave immediately became noisy.
However, the suffocating fireworks drove the people towards the South Cave, and several comrades ran out of the South Cave and were immediately knocked down by an enemy plane that was diving and strafing.
Staff Officer Cui hurriedly turned around in front of the chief, stomped his feet and said, "Chief, everyone let you out!" ”
He handed over the telephone to Political Commissar Li, and rushed to the army without stopping, and when he was leaving, he was relieved that the wounded who had not yet come out of the cave could not be relieved, so he asked the guards to go back to the cave to check on it.
On the fourth attack, the enemy broke through the position of seven squads, and in two hours both sides repeated twelve times on one position.
At this moment, only a cooing machine cannon sound was heard, boom, the third strafing set the car fuel tank at the north entrance on fire, the fire was very clear, there may be poison gas bombs, the wind helped the fire, the fireworks went straight to the south cave entrance, and then the grass was also on fire, the fireworks choked people, and everyone was fighting the fire.
On this day, the enemy simultaneously launched a fierce attack on the positions of the 1st and 3rd battalions.
When there was not much ammunition on the position, Li Yonggui ran back to the company command post, asked for only a dozen grenades, and brought the machine gun team of the second squad, and the enemy failed several attacks and became even more frenzied.
Li Yonggui is a child of a poor family, at the age of thirteen he went to work in the field with an adult, after the surrender of the Japanese invaders, he joined the army, in the Siping battle, he braved the enemy's artillery fire, through the layers of blockade lines, sent two bags of explosives in a row, completed the most arduous task of bombing the building, won the title of 'lone hero'.
A grenade exploded, a burst of machine-gun fire fell, a dozen enemies fell, and the rest turned around and rolled down the hill.
Luckily, their reinforcements arrived.
The enemy climbed closer and closer, and the soldiers could see the enemy's face at this moment, and when the enemy climbed to a distance of twenty meters from the position, Li Yonggui suddenly shouted: "Fight!" ”
The squad leader Li Yonggui and the soldiers calmly clenched the grenades, stared closely at the enemy who was panting and climbed up, ready to attack the enemy at any time.
U.S. imperialism is the most murderous butcher in the world, not much different from the murderous of the Japanese army.
The enemy used the strength of one battalion to flank the positions of five companies from the east and west.
Temporary Jiang Staff Officer's surname is Cui, he saw too many people, he couldn't get past at all, and shouted while squeezing: "Don't mess around, don't step on the wounded!" ”
But soon, eight more fighters flew in, circled around the top of the cave, and suddenly dived and strafed at both ends of the cave, and the air in the cave immediately became tense.
Dai Wenli, a cultural instructor, announced the list of new party members from the position, which greatly encouraged the soldiers.
Twenty-six-zero-five: fseven-zero-zero: four-three: six-zero-zero-zero:: seven-one-four
Staff Officer Jiang was a staff officer of the military headquarters and a chief, and he stood up and shouted: "Everyone calm down, don't step on the wounded!" ”
Enemy planes still blocked the entrance to the cave, and everyone retreated one after another under the rain of bullets, but many people still fell next to the hole.
The members of the art troupe refused to allow the wounded to be wounded a second time, and they braved the bombing of enemy planes to carry the wounded to a school outside the street.
At 8 o'clock, the enemy's artillery first bombarded the position of the first company for half an hour, and then rushed to the position of the first group in three directions with the strength of two companies.
They not only have to feed the wounded, but also to the wounded to pick up feces and urine, some young wounded moaned, when they saw that it was a lesbian, they would always shake their heads shyly, and the lesbians were not ashamed, and handed over the urine box generously.
The battle in Flying Tiger Mountain has escalated again.
"Yes!"
Staff Officer Jiang was worried that the cave would not be able to withstand such continuous bombing by enemy planes, so he asked the temporary staff officer: "How thick is the cave?" ”
Staff Officer Jiang asked the staff officer on duty to tell everyone to be calm.
The wounded have not yet retreated, how can he go!? But the raging fires forced people to rush south, and the desire to survive made it impossible for anyone to calm down.
The morale of the whole squad was high, and they jumped out of the fortifications with him and pounced on the enemy.
Liu Jianfeng, a young woman, loves to cut her hair short, loves to wear hats, and is nicknamed 'tomboy', carried by others, she is carried by others, she is drenched in sweat, and she is not far behind, relying on a pair of immature shoulders, saving the lives of seven or eight wounded.
At this moment, everyone was shocked to find that the number of enemy planes had increased from eight to 16, and they continued to dive and strafe and drop bombs at the entrance of the cave, which lasted for three hours, and the bombs shook the hole, and the air wave of the explosion blew over the candles in the hole, making the situation in the hole even more chaotic.
In the bombing and strafing of enemy planes, they really sang, and the girl's gentle voice was like a bubbling spring, passing through the scorching smoke and fire, which dispelled the gloom in everyone's hearts for half a minute.
"It's three or four meters thick."
Some people suffocated, some fell, and some lightly injured people squeezed out of the south cave, and there was already a mess here.
Some cadres of the organs automatically joined hands to form a human wall to protect the wounded behind them.
When Li Yonggui saw that the situation was not good, he made an uproar, took off the immunity on his body, jumped out of the fortifications and shouted: "Comrades! The time has come for meritorious service, and the enemy must not be allowed to come up! ”
The members of the art troupe are even more energetic, they have long put their personal life and death on the line, and it will be an honor for them to be able to meet any reasonable demand of the wounded comrades.
Before standing up, he encouraged the soldiers: "Comrades, we are supporting the Korean devils to fight the American devils, and there is nothing more glorious than this task!" We must maintain the glorious title of all-round model company and resolutely hold our position! ”
When the houses were set on fire and the situation was so critical that everyone's hearts were cast under a shadow that one of the wounded asked, "Sing a song." ”
The people choking on the smoke could not breathe, and the flow of people poured from the North Cave to the South Cave.
During the battle, instructor Li Yuchun went down to each squad to explain to the soldiers the significance of garrisoning, and encouraged them to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and join the party in the line of fire.
The volunteers practiced humanitarianism towards the enemy who laid down their arms, and did not beat or scold, but they never spared the slaughter of the wounded of the volunteers.
Huaping Station is a military station far away from the front line, and the wounded sent down from the front line are first gathered here, and then transferred back to China for treatment from here.
He has made four major meritorious contributions in battles and two major merits in arduous struggle, and before entering the court, he attended the army's congress of combat heroes.
The soldiers are simple-minded and forget their lives, and this war will surely be won.
At this moment, whether it is the rear of the volunteer army or the front line, they are under tremendous pressure, and every comrade is making great efforts and dedicating his life for the victory of this war.
The telephone operator was very clever, he had already pulled a wire down, and at the same time the zero bell rang, and while staff officer Jiang followed the call from the front, he told Staff Officer Cui to hurry back to the cave to see how many people had not yet come out.
At this time, when he met Political Commissar Li, Staff Officer Jiang immediately said to Political Commissar Li: "Please check it out and report what happened in the cave to the army immediately." ”
When the third wave of the enemy's attack came, there were not many machine gun shells on the position, and the soldiers had even fewer bullets, seeing that they could no longer resist the enemy's attack.
In the first confrontation, there was no casualty in a squad, and the annoyed and angry enemy poured a large number of shells and incendiary bombs, and some gasoline ignited the grass and trees on the mountain, facing the raging fire, and the soldiers of the squad resolutely fought to the end, Li Yonggui ordered the soldiers to extinguish the flames with soil while staring at the enemy.
A few girls had just walked out of the house, and with full of enthusiasm, they fought to come to the Korean battlefield with the flames of the sky, and when the smoke and fire were burning, they still thought about the wounded comrades and could not bear to leave their posts one step.
The soldiers kept writing letters of determination, expressing to the leaders that they would 'swear to live and die with the position'. The party group will constantly study the ideas of the fighters, discuss and recruit new party members, and with the approval of the battalion and regimental party organizations, unknown comrades will join the Red Party on the battlefield.
But at this juncture, the machine gun malfunctioned, the machine gunner was so anxious that he was sweating, busy troubleshooting, the machine gun did not sound, and the enemy pressed closer and closer.
Seeing that he didn't squeak, Staff Officer Cui couldn't help but say, and the two big hands pushed Staff Officer Jiang and ran out of the cave.
Staff Officer Jiang's mood was heavy all of a sudden, and he stood in the ravine, staring at the ridge, and was silent for a long time.
Staff Officer Jiang looked at him and wanted him to organize the evacuation of the wounded.
"It's okay to send a signal quickly, but it's dangerous to delay a signal!"
Staff Officer Jiang really wanted to organize people and evacuate the cave in an organized manner, but at the moment there was chaos here, and he could only ask Staff Officer Cui to go to the cave entrance first to take a look at the situation outside.
The first company is not far from the third company, the enemy's attack did not threaten the third company, after all, the third company has Xia Yuan's big killer, he sticks to the forward position, sniping the enemy attacking in the forest, often this group of puppet troops rush to the mountainside, whoever enters Xia Yuan's field of vision, few can live.
Xia Yuan's marksmanship became more and more powerful, and the enemy became more and more afraid, so that he attacked five or six times in a row, leaving a large pile of corpses halfway up the mountain, and then there was no movement, it seemed that the enemy was selectively abandoning this hill that was not important, but caused them huge casualties.
Seeing that the enemy did not come up, Company Commander Sun made a decision and ordered Xia Yuan to lead a squad of soldiers to bypass the position of the third company and assist the first company in defending the position.
