Chapter 72: 834 Fortification

In the mission of luring the enemy into depth, Wei Decai, chief of the reconnaissance section of the 112th Division, personally led the reconnaissance company to accept the reconnaissance mission of some forward positions and actively provided intelligence to the division.

After the enemy occupied Suifeng Mountain in the northwest of Yuanli, Wei Decai sent Yang Feng and a group to lurk in the stone cave of Suifeng Mountain, put on headphones, and observe the enemy's troop movement on the road below the mountain at any time, and finally captured two American prisoners, providing important information for the division.

The scouts of the other divisions were also very active, constantly going behind enemy lines to capture prisoners and keep them informed by the division and the army, as well as by their superiors.

The Korean battlefield was different from the domestic battlefield in that the geography and people were not familiar with the situation, and it was difficult to send people to penetrate into the enemy's interior, so except for some information provided by the Korean people, they mainly relied on capturing prisoners to understand the enemy's situation.

During this period, the reconnaissance hero Zhang Lanting successively captured more than 20 prisoners, and repeatedly made miraculous achievements in this regard.

In order to actively respond to the comprehensive investigation activities carried out by the military headquarters, Regiment Commander Fan convened a meeting at the regiment headquarters, and he had a new idea, but he did not know whether the Third Company had any efforts to implement it.

"The fourth platoon commander of the third company of the first battalion, everyone has heard of it, he has a lot of articles in combat ability, fighting in Feihu Mountain, and destroying two or three hundred enemies by himself, this is still a conservative estimate."

The cadres of each battalion gathered together, listened to Commander Fan's words, and nodded deeply.

The second battalion commander said, "You can let Lao Feng pick up the treasure."

The other cadres had more or less envy on their faces, and such capable fighters just fell behind in the first battalion.

Originally, the second battalion was the sharp knife of the 335th Regiment, but because of Xia Yuan's addition, the first battalion became the sharp knife of the 335th Regiment, and the third company was the trump card of the whole regiment, and its combat ability was unique.

Feng Yuxiang laughed, quite happy.

Fan Tianen said with a smile: "Xia Yuan's combat ability is strong, and his reconnaissance ability is not weak, two nights, he has felt the situation of the enemy's garrison quite thoroughly, according to the commander of the third company of the first battalion, it seems that he took two soldiers to investigate at night, the situation is true?"

Feng Yuxiang nodded: "The situation is true, when I first remembered the night attack, the commander of the third company didn't know that it was Xia Yuan who took the two soldiers of the cooking squad to find out the enemy's situation, and it took two nights."

Fan Tianen nodded and said, "Not only that, they have fallen behind before, Xia Yuan and Xiao Heping also touched the station of an American army division and seized a truckload of supplies, according to the two of them, they eliminated a reconnaissance platoon of the US army in the process of operation, not including the losses caused to the US army by blowing up the enemy's ammunition depot at the station."

When people listen to it, it feels as if they are listening to a story, which is so unreal.

"If only every warrior was as strong as Xia Yuan." The second battalion commander said with emotion.

Their warriors are not bad, but compared to Xia Yuan, they are too far behind.

Judging from the combat ability shown by Xia Yuan at present, don't say that the whole army, even if it is placed in the entire Zhi Division, it can be ranked first.

Accurate bomb throwing, long throwing distance, accurate marksmanship, can easily kill the machine gunner in the enemy's machine gun bunker, strong reconnaissance ability, individual combat ability is a must.

Each of these skills is incredible, but all skills are gathered in one person.

To say that it is first is not modest at all.

Listening to what the head of the delegation said, many people have some understanding of the content of this meeting.

Recently, the higher authorities seem to be preparing for a second wave of offensives, which can be seen from the movement of the corps in the past few days, as well as the activity of the scouts.

Moreover, the scouts were far more active this time than in the first battle, and they also suffered the loss of the first battle.

Although the superiors did not convey any instructions to them about the second battle, they were all veterans of many years of fighting, and the wind and grass of the troops could make them guess something.

They didn't say a word, and listened quietly to Captain Fan's speech.

"The situation of the three companies, the regimental headquarters has been receiving it recently, and yesterday the enemy attacked for a whole day, and they were all pressed down by the three companies, and they themselves did not suffer many casualties." Fan Tianen's eyes fell on Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the first battalion, and said, "Now the whole army is in full swing

In the reconnaissance activities, our 335th Regiment shoulders the mission of luring the enemy into depth, and naturally it cannot be left behind, Xia Yuan's reconnaissance ability is also a must in the army, I think, transfer the third company back, and reassign a new company, so that Xia Yuan can concentrate on reconnaissance."

Xia Yuan's combat ability is strong, but the combat ability of every soldier is not weak.

However, in terms of investigative capability, it is not a question of the strength of the investigative capability, but the issue of investigative efficiency.

According to the previous Battle of Feihu Mountain, the scouts who were replaced by the regimental headquarters wanted to feel the enemy's garrison situation so carefully, every other week, it was not clear, and it was even possible to feel more. Of course, sometimes it's okay to scratch your tongue.

But the tongue is an unavoidable thing, and you can't go out at night and you will be able to catch it.

Xia Yuan's combat ability is used in reconnaissance, and with his powerful reconnaissance ability, it may really be possible to surprise them.

After thinking about it, this task of contact with the enemy can basically be done by all battalions and companies of their regiment, after all, they have been fighting in China for many years, and they have never encountered any kind of situation.

Feng Yuxiang pondered for a moment and agreed with the head of the regiment, this kind of thing, the head of the regiment must have thought more comprehensively than them.

Moreover, the Third Company, as the trump card company recognized by the regimental headquarters at present, is enough to carry out some difficult blocking missions, and the first and second companies can do a good job in this kind of contact mission.

Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, Fan Tianen immediately issued an order, the third company was transferred back, and the third battalion and nine companies were sent to maintain contact with the enemy, and the two companies were changed at 834 behind Kowloon Station.

After the meeting was adjourned, Fan Tianen dialed the front line, and the front line reconnaissance company received the order and quickly delivered it to the third company.

When Company Commander Sun received the order, he looked a little incredulous, "We've only been in contact with the enemy for a day, are we going to start retreating?"

Instructor Hu said, "Old Sun, this is a task given by the superiors, let's carry it out."

Company Commander Sun said: "Now even the soldiers are thinking about fighting this battle and carrying out the tasks given by their superiors, and now let us retreat, the soldiers' minds will not be happy."

Instructor Hu said, "The head of the regiment must have his own ideas when he does this."

Company Commander Sun sighed and could only go to the mission.

It's not dawn yet.

Their third company packed up their equipment, cleared the battlefield, and began to retreat to the rear under the cover of night.

"Where are we going to retreat?"

Xiao Heping carried two guns and looked left and right at the quiet troops.

"Listen to your superiors." Zhou Mao looked at the dark mountains around him, they were still on the mountain just now, and now they retreated.

He was ready to fight for a few days, but he didn't expect to retreat like this time.

Company Commander Sun took the third company to hand over to the third battalion and the ninth company on the 834 heights, and the three companies temporarily fortified on the 834 heights, and the ninth company also went to the area where the three companies had been deployed before the moment they received the order.

"Old Hu, give the ammunition of our company to the nine companies

Some."

The 3rd Company is now well-equipped, and there is no shortage of ammunition at all, and there is no problem at all with some ammunition to support the 9th Company.

The third company temporarily took root in the 834 heights.

Behind the 834 heights, there is the 335th Regiment, which is still retreating in the direction of the Qingchuan River at this moment, and plans to fortify on the front line of the Qingchuan River to block it.

After the 3rd Company arrived at the 834 Heights, it quickly formed a defensive front by using the fortifications left by the 9th Company.

The elder Liu of the cooking squad has not yet returned, and the cooking squad has not yet been formed, so that there is no place for cooking in the third company today, after a brief discussion between Company Commander Sun and Instructor Hu, they let the soldiers cook on the position, and in the place behind the mountain and the sun, there is a large amount of snow remaining, plus a smokeless stove, it is completely possible to make a fire on the position to cook.

After such a long battle, Sanlian finally had a chance to breathe.

Following.

The sky shimmered, there was no sun in sight, the whole sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and the temperature dropped even more.

"This enemy does not attack, but occupies a position

It's still a little cold." Zhou Mao hugged his arms and sat on the ground, and the hot air he exhaled turned into white mist.

The enemy had attacked, dropping bombs, shells, and incendiary bombs so much that the position was so hot that the cold was not felt at all.

Now quiet down, shivering with cold as I waited for the enemy.

Xiao Heping filled the stove with firewood and called Zhou Mao to come over to roast, hot water was boiling in the pot, Zhou Mao leaned over and suddenly felt a lot warmer.

Xia Yuan took out a box of canned food, opened it and looked at it, the canned food was already frozen, so he could only throw it in the pot with the canned food box, wait for the cooking to melt, and then take out the can, sprinkle some noodles, stir and stir.

In the end, Zhao Xiaoyi found some wild vegetables in the back mountain, threw them in, and made a pot of salty paste.

"You sit down first, and I'll go and have a look at each class."

Xia Yuan got up and handed the stick to Zhao Xiaoyi.

"I'll go with you." Zhou Mao stood up and pinched his frozen palm.

"Let Xiao Heping go with me, you roast the fire, your hands are frozen like this." Xia Yuan frowned and asked, "Where's your military coat?"

Zhou Mao said embarrassedly, "Platoon commander, I gave it to the wounded, they need it more than us."

Xia Yuan looked at his hand and said, "You, if you don't pay attention to keeping warm, what should you do if your hand is so cold that you can't pull the gun in the future?"

Zhou Mao said, "Platoon commander, I'll transport ammunition for you."

Xia Yuan was helpless, took off the clothes on his body and threw them to him: "Dress, this is the order I gave, I will check every day in the future, and I will take care of the wounded."

"Yes!"

Zhou Mao didn't want to take it, but when he heard the order, he could only wear it on his body next, and he suddenly felt a lot warmer.

All classes were cooking on the fire, and they were all very happy to see Xia Yuan coming.

"Platoon commander, you're here."

When a group of people saw Xia Yuan coming over with Xiao Heping, they all stood up.

They didn't show disrespect as young as Xia Yuan, but they were quite respectful towards Xia Yuan.

In the previous battle, Xia Yuan showed strong combat ability, and the enemy attacked continuously for a whole day, but he was unable to knock down their position, and he did not even attack the forward position.

This has a lot to do with Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan killed the enemy's walkie-talkie soldiers, machine gunners, field commanders, and soldiers who controlled the bazooka, and after each battle, they were able to capture one or two bazookas, a walkie-talkie, and two light machine guns, so that each platoon was equipped with a light machine gun.

There were even redundant light machine guns.

Company Commander Sun also attached great importance to the fourth platoon, leaving three bazooka and three light machine guns in the fourth platoon, and the rest of the items were handed over.

In fact, the firepower configuration of the four platoons almost caught up with the basic firepower configuration that a company should have.

It's a pity that they didn't capture the enemy's heavy machine guns, and that guy, if there was one in each squad, it would be terrible.

"Look at your situation." Xia Yuan stepped forward and took a look at their food, which was similar to what he ate, and the conditions on the position were limited, so it was nothing more than pouring the food in the canned food into the pot and getting more wild vegetables.

If flour is available, pour some flour and put more wild vegetables if there is no flour.

Canned food contains a lot of salt, and the soldiers have more strength to fight when they eat it.

Xia Yuan then went to the second and third classes, and when he saw that the soldiers were eating happily, he was relieved and checked the fortifications again.

There are two situations of enemy artillery bombardment, the first is the coordination of infantry and artillery, and the artillery fire extends forward with the charge of the infantry, clearing all obstacles in the way of the attack for the attacking infantry.

If this is the case, the bomb craters they have dug in the rear are completely unnecessary, and once the enemy attacks, the artillery fire extends backwards, which will affect the time it takes for them to enter the position, and even the enemy can easily enter the position without resistance.

Of course, there is another possibility.

The position on the hill was narrow, and the enemy's artillery fire extended backwards and fell to the bottom of the hill.

At this time, the enemy's artillery fire will carefully bombard the hilltop position, inside and out, and then let the soldiers attack to the top of the mountain.

In this case, they can build a bomb shelter on the anti-slope plane, and then dig two communication trenches to connect the bomb shelter craters on the anti-slope plane with the position, and when the enemy's artillery fire comes, they will withdraw to the rear, hide in the bomb shelter crater, avoid the enemy's artillery fire, and when the enemy's artillery fire is over, they will pass through the communication trench and enter the position.

In this way, casualties are reduced.

In both cases, it is basically constructed according to the terrain conditions.

Xia Yuan carefully checked to make sure that there were no problems with their construction, and then he was relieved to go back.

Three classes, stick to three hills.

They are on the anticline in the rear.

"I guess the enemy won't be able to get here in a day or two." Xia Yuan drank salty paste, staring at the world shrouded in dark clouds, his vision was excellent, looking into the distance, black spots appeared in the sky, and his gaze narrowed closer, it was a US military plane.

He could see the paint sprayed on the US plane, the white five-pointed star printed on it, and the number of the plane.

The U.S. military plane rumbled into the thick clouds and disappeared.

The Ninth Company went to block the enemy and made contact with the enemy, and it was clear that this was the task of luring the enemy deeper.

He also experienced the Battle of Changjin Lake.

It is estimated that the second battle may be in the near future.

Put the enemy in first.

Segmentation, encirclement, blocking.

A set of combination massage punches can ensure that the enemy cannot be found in the south, south, west, and north.
