It is said that Zheng Zhendong's group had lunch, listened to the report in the afternoon, and then returned to the school under the leadership of Vice Principal Lin.

When he returned to the classroom, at the strong request of the teacher and classmates, Zheng Zhendong talked about what he had seen and heard today.

After hearing this, the students were very moved, and they all said that they would study hard, and when they grew up in the future, they would work hard to build a new country, and they would not be bullied by foreigners.

At this time, on the battlefield on the peninsula, starting at 4 o'clock on 14 October, the army of the Chouguo State began to cover the 30-kilometer defensive front of our 15 th Army with 320 large-caliber artillery pieces, 47 tanks, and more than 50 aircraft.

Among them, the bombardment of the 597.9 and 537.7 heights in the front of Wusheng Mountain was particularly fierce, using 300 artillery pieces, 27 tanks and 40 aircraft, and the fire density was as high as six rounds per second.

Such a heavy artillery fire made our garrison in the tunnel feel like they were riding in a small boat, tossing on the rough sea.

The strong shock wave stirred through the tunnels, many people knocked out their teeth, their lips and tongues were also broken, and even a seventeen-year-old little soldier was shocked to death!

The survivors recalled the scene and described it as hell, which is terrifying.

The walkie-talkies of the garrison troops in the tunnels immediately called the command post of the 448th Highland Battalion, a kilometer away, as soon as the shelling began.

However, the artillery fire was so fierce that the antennas of the walkie-talkies were blown up as soon as they were erected, and in just a few minutes, all the 13 antennas stored in the tunnel were blown up, and it was still impossible to communicate with the command post.

And the telephone line was blown up by artillery fire.

Niu Baocai, deputy squad leader of the telephone squad of the battalion headquarters, braved the overwhelming artillery fire to check the line, and while dodging the artillery fire along the way, he connected the disconnected line, and the whole large roll of telephone lines he carried with him was used up, and there was still a section short.

Niu Bao, who had been injured in many places, didn't have time to think about grabbing a broken wire with one hand, and connected the line with his body, exchanging his life for three minutes of talk time.

Wang Fengshu, deputy commander of the 135th Regiment at the battalion command post, gave a combat order to the tunnel troops in these precious three minutes.

The military headquarters of the 15 th Army is located in Daodaodong, which is more than 20 kilometers north of Shangganling.

On the day of the 14th, the military headquarters only knew that the Chohan Army had launched an attack on the 597.9 and 537.7 heights in front of the 45th Division in front of Wusheng Mountain, the 391 heights in front of the 29th and 44th Divisions, the Namsan Mountain in Zhicun, the unnamed heights in the northwest of Shangjia Mountain, and the 419 heights, and did not know anything about other specific circumstances.

Commander Qin had no choice but to order the observation posts on the flanks of Wusheng Mountain to report the situation every half hour, and at the same time asked the 38th Army and the 12th Army on the left and right to report on the situation on their respective fronts.

Commander Qin believed that the Chou Han Army only had the 7th Division and the 2nd Han Division, a total of two divisions.

It is impossible for these two divisions alone to attack in several directions at the same time, and only one of them must be the main direction of attack, and the others are diversionary feints, but it is impossible to immediately judge which one is the main attack.

Just when commanders at all levels were anxious, the battle in Shangganling was in full swing!

At 5 o'clock, after an hour of artillery preparation, the ugly army began to extend its fire to suppress the targets in depth.

At the same time, the infantry began to charge, and the first to engage the ugly army was a squad on the 9th Company's 597.9 Heights 11 outpost.

However, the squad leader used his troops improperly, and immediately put the whole squad into battle, and under the fierce artillery fire of the ugly army, he soon suffered huge casualties, and after repelling the ugly army's four charges, there was only one soldier left, and he had to retreat into the tunnel to persist in the battle.

Defending the No. 2 position, Zheng Zhenguo, the platoon leader of the first platoon of the Eighth Company, saw that the No. 11 position was lost.

Zheng Zhenguo immediately organized two squads to counterattack, striving to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to regain the position.

However, the two squads were covered with artillery fire from the ugly army on the way, and only five wounded were forced to retreat to position No. 2.

As a result, the first platoon failed to counterattack, but lost most of its troops, and it was difficult to even defend position No. 2.

At about eleven o'clock, the No. 2 formation was already insufficient at this time, and Zheng Zhenguo held a Si Deng submachine gun and led several soldiers to try to repel the enemy's attack.

On the position, the ugly army stepped on their own bullet point and launched a fierce attack on our army, and at this time, a cannonball flew in the sky and landed not far from Zheng Zhenguo's side.

Zheng Zhenguo reacted fairly quickly and immediately fell into the trench, but the shrapnel after the bomb exploded still hit Zheng Zhenguo's head and body.

Zheng Zhenguo immediately bled profusely, and then fainted, and the soldier next to him immediately called the hygienist.

After the hygienist bandaged Zheng Zhenguo briefly, he was admitted to the field hospital.

At this time, a platoon was fired by the artillery of the ugly army, and the already incomplete team suffered heavy casualties, and soon on the No. 2 position, the soldiers in the platoon died one after another.

At this time, the No. 7 position in the southeast was therefore isolated, and then it was also occupied by the ugly army, and only the most critical No. 9 position was defended by three platoons under the command of Qin Gengwu, the deputy instructor of the Ninth Company.

Qin Gengwu saw that the artillery fire of the ugly army was extremely fierce, and if the more troops were invested in the position, the more casualties would be faster.

Therefore, he only put three people on the surface position at the same time, and added one casualty from the tunnel, and fought calmly, so the No. 9 position became the mainstay of the 597.9 heights, and always withstood the attack of the ugly army.

Position 9 is the gateway to the main peak, and the location is extremely important, as long as the position 9 is not lost, then the 597.9 heights can be guaranteed.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 31st Regiment of the 7th Division of the Ugly Army Attack Force lost more than 70 percent.

The ugly army was more taboo about the consumption of troops into formations, so they did not dare to use another battalion, withdrew the 31st Regiment to rest and recuperate, replaced it with the 32nd Regiment and continued to fight, and fought until dusk, but also failed to capture the 597.9 heights.

In the Battle of Shangganling, the 537.7 heights of the front-line command post of a certain unit of the Volunteer Army were also attacked at the same time.

The 32nd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the ROK Army launched a fierce attack with one battalion in three directions, and the 1st Company of the Volunteer Army garrison bravely defended the position seriously destroyed by artillery fire.

The attacks of the ROK ground forces were repulsed one after another, and they had to call in the fire support of the air forces of the Cho Army.

More than 20 B-26 bombers were dispatched to drop napalm, and the position became a sea of fire.

The South Korean army took advantage of the momentum to attack, and there were only three wounded left in the No. 8 position at the forefront, unable to fight again, and were preparing to retreat into the tunnel.

However, it was suppressed by a machine gun of the South Korean army that had rushed to the position more than ten meters away from the mouth of the tunnel, and this machine gun happened to be near Sun Ziming, who was unconscious due to multiple wounds.

Sun Ziming was awakened by the sound of gunshots, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he roared and pounced, and the machine gunners of the Han army were caught off guard and were frightened into the sky, turned around and fled.

Sun Ziming just wanted to turn the machine gun around and shoot, another group of more than a dozen enemies had already rushed up, he saw that he didn't have time to fire, grabbed the three grenades around him, rushed towards this group of enemies, and died with the enemy.

Sun Ziming also became the first of the thirty-eight warriors who died with the enemy in the Battle of Shangganling!

It was not until about 12 o'clock, after more than seven hours of fierce fighting, that the ROK army attacked the main position, and after more than 20 minutes of extremely fierce hand-to-hand combat, it occupied the position.

By 2 p.m., there were only more than 20 people left in the company, retreating to the tunnel, 537 heights.
