Chapter 95: Stationed at Songgu Peak
Fan Tianen and his team had just arrived in the northeast area of Fengmingli, and as soon as they got off the hillside, they met the chief of the division's reconnaissance section.
Fan Tianen's appearance made him very happy, he hurriedly held Fan Tianen's hand, and said happily: "You guys are here at the right time, you are really a heavenly soldier who fell from the sky, go and find the division commander to accept the task."
When Fan Tianen heard that there was a battle, he was so happy that he was exhausted and dispersed, and hurriedly ran to see the teacher, and asked impatiently, "Commander, where should we fight?"
The battle in the direction of Fengmingli is not over, the cannon rumbles, the guns are deafening, the soldiers of the 335th Regiment hide in a ravine to rest, and the continuous rapid march can make everyone tired enough, some soldiers fall down, they can't get up, and some soldiers have blood blisters on their feet.
Listening to the sound of gunfire, everyone was looking forward to it, thinking about when they would be able to kill it.
At the division headquarters, Yang Dayi was briefly introducing the current situation to Fan Tianen, "You take out a battalion to occupy Fengmingli......
Yang Dayi pondered, "No, you don't need you in Fengmingli, your regiment will go south to Fengmingli tonight to cut off the enemy's retreat, the 334th regiment will defeat Fengmingli, the enemy may flee south, your task is not to let an enemy pass!"
"Yes! Rest assured, Chief, that you will not let go of an enemy!"
The warriors had not rested long before they heard the news of departure.
In accordance with the instructions of the division, the 335th Regiment was preparing to intersperse with the southern part of Fengmingli, and as soon as the team set off, it did not even go out of the forest, and the sound of trumpets came from the sound of gunfire.
The commander heard the meaning of the trumpet, and immediately ran over: "Regiment commander, the division commander orders you to go to the division command post immediately, and the speed must be fast!"
Fan Tianen listened quietly, and sure enough, it was a key signature.
He also ordered the troops to rest in place and immediately rush to the division headquarters, Yang Dayi was already waiting in front of the division headquarters, saw him coming, and handed him a map of the direction: "The situation has changed, the enemy may escape through the Shutang station, your regiment will go straight to Songgu Peak, and intercept the enemy there!"
Songgu Peak!
Fan Tianen remembered the name, said goodbye to Yang Dayi, and on the way back to the army, opened the map to find the location of Songgu Peak.
It was an old map, I didn't find it, but fortunately, in the previous annihilation war, I destroyed the enemy and captured a local military map, although it was marked with strange words, and after careful search by the translator, I found Songgu Peak on the west side of Shutang Station.
There is a village called Jinguri on the road, and there is a railway and a road in the valley.
And if you want to go to Songgu Peak, you need to pass through Fengmingli, and then through Longyuan...... Fan Tianen didn't think so much, and after finding the location of Songgu Peak on the map, he set off with his team.
In order to ensure the safe evacuation of the troops, the US troops formed three "walls of fire" with artillery fire, which were three kilometers wide and wide, and it was very difficult for the troops to penetrate into them.
Looking at the rumbling artillery fire, the entire width of three kilometers was full of gunpowder smoke, Fan Tianen immediately made a decision and ordered the troops to take a small road to advance.
According to the azimuth, Wang Chunxi led the team to avoid the enemy's firewall and walk the mountain road, and finally penetrated the enemy's artillery position through the scorching blockade line of dumping goods.
A deafening roar constantly sounded in the enemy's artillery positions, and continuous tremors spread from the ground beneath their feet in waves.
The enemy was still firing frantically, completely unaware that they had passed through the artillery blockade.
Fan Tianen ordered the three battalions to go forward and blow up the enemy's artillery positions, when they had surrounded and annihilated the enemy's first battalion, they could suffocate the third battalion, but this time they finally received the task, and the three companies launched an attack on the enemy's artillery positions from three directions, and the rest of the divisions continued to advance.
In a short time, there was a fierce engagement from the enemy's artillery positions, and soon there was no movement.
The enemy's artillery positions were successfully captured by the third battalion.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions came to the south of Feihu Mountain, where they had been fighting for a week, and spread out their troops on a hill at Shutang Station, where they had retreated 30 kilometers at first, but they couldn't figure out why they had withdrawn so far, and now they finally returned to the south of Feihu Mountain again.
See the enemy
The loss of Tokugawa, the annihilation of the puppet Second Army, and the now encircled American army facing the catastrophe of annihilation, deeply felt the wisdom, courage and foresight of Shiji and the rear.
Before dawn, Fan Tianen took Wang Chunxi to reconnoiter the terrain around, and when he passed through a north-south valley, Fan Tianen recognized that this was the north-south valley marked on the map where the railway and highway ran parallel.
The valley is less than 1 km wide, and there is a north-south stream under the eastern slope.
Songgu Peak can be clearly seen here, Fan Tianen was worried that the follow-up division command post would encounter the enemy who broke through on the road, so he decided to stay in the east of the valley, and the team was arranged on a slippery hill at Shutang Station, and ordered the first battalion commander Feng Yuxiang to lead the team through the north and south valleys and seize the Songgu Peak, he carefully explained:
"If the enemy has occupied it first, he will resolutely fight it and hold it until dark, and if it has been occupied by brother troops, he may evacuate and hide on the east flank, and wait for the order to act after dusk; If there is no one in the empty mountain, your battalion will do a good job of holding on to the fortifications......
Feng Yuxiang asked, "What if the battle starts?"
Fan Tianen said, "The whole group is moving closer to you, you can rest assured."
He turned to Staff Officer Song beside him and said, "You take Wang Lun with the first battalion, and when the first battalion is settled, you will come back and report."
"Yes!"
When it was dawn, Feng Yuxiang and Song staff officers came to the first battalion with their communicator Wang Lun, and the first battalion was set up on a small hill, and the three companies held on to the three hills, all of which were inconspicuous small hills.
Feng Yuxiang immediately sent a correspondent to summon the company commanders to come to a meeting and briefly explain to everyone the current situation that everyone is facing.
"The geographical location of Songgu Peak is very important, it is an important communication artery on the enemy's retreat road, through here, the enemy can advance southward in a big way, and our army's defenders in the direction of Sansholi and Longyuanli are only one division, and the troops in the rear are still moving, we need to buy more time for the rear troops to relieve the pressure on the defenders of Longyuanli and Sansholi."
The commander of the third company said, "Battalion commander, please give us the most difficult task to the third company!"
Since the end of the battle of Longhu Mountain, their three companies have become the ace company of the first battalion, but in the following battles, the three companies have not given full play to their strong combat strength, and although the large and small battles they have experienced have been excellent, they are not satisfied in the heart of Company Commander Sun.
The Third Company was born in the line of fire, experienced the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and fought a lot of excellent battles, but rarely won a real big victory, and did not fight a few times.
Company Commander Sun took the initiative to ask for help, hoping that the battalion commander could leave the most arduous task to the Third Company, and let the Third Company make a great contribution in North Korea.
The third company is now a reinforced company, each platoon has a mortar, a grenadier, a bazooka, and each squad is equipped with submachine guns, light machine guns, and sufficient ammunition, which is very suitable for fighting tough battles.
Feng Yuxiang said, "I don't need you to say it, you can't run away this time!"
In the three-company defense area, the platoons have been scattered and arranged on the position, and the four-row position, each squad occupies another position.
Xia Yuan sat in the trench, clasped the frozen cans with his hands, and deducted them for a long time, but he didn't deduct them: "Xiao Heping, bring the bayonet."
"Platoon commander, when do you think we can win a big battle?" Xiao Heping handed the bayonet to Xia Yuan, and then asked.
"A big victory, this time you can win a big battle, I didn't listen to the battalion commander, now the whole line has begun to counterattack the enemy, these American devils can't escape." Xia Yuan buckled off a piece and handed it to Xiao Heping: "Put it in your mouth and hold it."
"Oh."
"Zhou Mao, go and call Zhao Xiaoyi to come over and eat something, I guess, we have to move forward."
As soon as the team had dug up the bunker fortifications and had eaten, Company Commander Sun ran to the company non-stop and asked the correspondent to notify the platoons to assemble.
Everyone didn't even have time to eat canned food, after the gathering, Xia Yuan took them to the company headquarters, and Company Commander Sun looked at the four platoons of the gathering, the cold wind blew everyone, and it was cold.
"Let's go!"
Company Commander Sun didn't explain much.
They went down the mountain, and the first and second companies had also come down from the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain they assembled, and the team lined up in a long line, interspersed with Songgu Peak.
In the mountains
The wild road, covered with snow, is sparsely populated here, there is no one in sight, the road is rugged and difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will step on the air and fall to the ground.
Xiao Heping grabbed the snow from the stone and stuffed it into the marching kettle: "It looks so desolate here."
Zhou Mao said, "The more desolate it is, the safer it is."
Xia Yuan reminded everyone: "Be careful, don't step on the air."
The team soon arrived at Songgu Peak and found that it had been occupied by the 114th Division, and Feng Yuxiang took the troops to the east to rest according to the regiment commander's instructions in advance.
After Song staff officer and investigator Wang Lun determined that the first battalion had arrived safely at Songgu Peak, they prepared to return to the regimental headquarters.
When they were passing by the highway, they heard someone moving and talking, and the two immediately hid and listened nervously, muttering not Korean, but clearly the US military.
"I can't go back to the regiment headquarters, I have to tell the first battalion commander the news of the enemy's appearance."
"Let's go!"
Staff Officer Song took Wang Lun back the same way, they ran all the way in order to reach the enemy first, and in the process of running wildly, Staff Officer Song accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the ravine.
"Chief of Staff!"
Wang Lun was shocked.
"Leave me alone, bring the information first, let the battalion commander have a preparation, I'll be fine for the time being." Staff Officer Song covered his arms and gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes!"
Wang Lun ran wildly, all the way to the headquarters of the first battalion being established, and said breathlessly, "Yes, there is an enemy rushing south!"
As soon as Feng Yuxiang heard this, he immediately ordered the third company to seize the nameless high ground on the north side of Shutang Station.
The battalion messenger arrived at the third company, which was resting for a short time, and immediately handed over the task to Company Commander Sun, who immediately found Xia Yuan and asked his fourth platoon to serve as a spearhead and quickly set off to the nameless heights.
"Hurry up, assemble, it's time for the mission!"
Xia Yuan quickly ran to the fourth row, and set off immediately after gathering.
The spearhead took the high ground one step ahead of the enemy.
At 6:30, this group of enemies was approaching the position along the road, the fourth platoon had arrived at the high ground, and they saw this enemy from a distance, and they didn't care about building fortifications, Xia Yuan ordered everyone to find a bunker nearby, and the machine gun squad dug a simple bunker fortification.
When the enemy's advance force arrived in front of them, Xia Yuan pulled the trigger and killed the driver of a car in front of him, and the truck plunged into the field.
The soldiers of the four platoons picked up grenades one after another and threw them at the enemy with great force, and with a roar, several enemy cars were hit and smoke billowed out.
It didn't take long for it to be wiped out.
At the end of the battle, Xia Yuan immediately notified the squads to disperse, occupy favorable terrain, and dig bunker fortifications.
As soon as the order was issued, Zhao Xiaoyi ran over: "Platoon commander, the enemy is here again!"
Xia Yuan was surprised by the speed of the enemy, and realizing that time was pressing, he raised his head and looked, and the eagle eye opened, it was the enemy's two trucks, and the three tanks drove over.
"Squad leader, take your men to the road and blow up the enemy's tanks first!"
"Yes!"
"Others, hurry up and dig bunkers, move fast!"
Time was pressing, they had to hurry up and dig bunkers, and the enemy they eliminated was obviously the enemy's advance team, which was usually the advance team that opened the way, and the enemy's main force was behind.
He watched the time, staring at the battle of the squad, whose battle ended quickly, and the two enemy tanks were bombarded by recoilless guns, lying motionless on the road, and thick smoke billowed up. The battle is largely over.
Subsequently, the first, second, and third rows of the three companies also climbed up Songgu Peak from the back mountain, which is actually an unnamed highland on the north side of Shutang Station, next to Songgu Peak, which also belongs to Songgu Peak.
Four platoons were scattered on unnamed heights, large and small, occupying favorable terrain and digging bunker fortifications.
After eliminating the enemy's advance team, a squad cleaned up the battlefield and quickly dug bunkers when they returned.
Not many fortifications were built, and the day dawned.
Then they heard the sound of a rumbling motor coming from far and near, and the soldiers stood up and looked out, and saw a large number of American troops rushing over, it was one
The long black dragon, spreading from one end of the road to the other, disappeared into the bend of the road.
This American army was the US Second Division, which was severely attacked by the 40th Army in Junyuli, and retreated from the direction of Junyuli, preparing to go south and escape from the encirclement of the Volunteers.
After several days of long-distance marching, the comrades of the third company had just arrived at the battlefield of the battle, and before they had time to catch their breath, they saw a long line of enemies, tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and artillery, and there were not a few of them, and they did not have the slightest fear, and encouraged and cheered each other up.
Xia Yuan's eyes were cold, and he quickly arranged the combat mission.
The previous battles were all petty fights, and Li's puppet army was nothing.
And now, it's the real battle.
This is a U.S. military division with luxurious weapons and equipment, and it can call in reinforcements from the Air Force anytime and anywhere.
"Tell us to go down and prepare for battle, the enemy is menacing, we can't let them pass through here, we have to block them in this Loose Bone Peak!"
Xia Yuan instructed Zhao Xiaoyi.
Zhao Xiaoyi ran down quickly.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao again, saw that the two of them looked nervous, and said with a smile: "There is no difference between this US army and Li Puppet Army, they are both people, can they still grow wings? It's like beating the puppet army."
It was also the first time that the two had seen an enemy of this size.
In the past, although there were one or two regiments of the frontal enemy, the pine trees were dense and the enemy could not be seen, and the altitude of Feihu Mountain was high, and the enemy needed to climb the mountain to attack.
Besides, when the enemy attacked the most, there were only one or two companies, and the strength was two or three hundred, which was nothing.
