The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 382 Such a sacrifice is worth it!
Although the fourth battle has ended, the US military's offensive has not stopped, and the frontline departments are still encountering fierce enemy attacks. Li Qiwei has already noticed serious problems in the volunteer army's logistics supply line. He wants to seize this opportunity and complete the clarion call of the counterattack .

In the [-]th Division, the meeting of cadres above the company level ended, and the cadres of each regiment, battalion and company dispersed one after another, and a messenger ran in quickly.

"Report to Director Wu that Zheng Xiaojun of the Propaganda Team has returned to the team. He is not missing. He is afraid of the plane. He ran to the anti-aircraft machine gun company. Company commander Li Kaiming took him in for a few days. He may feel that he is staying in the anti-aircraft machine gun company to fight the American devils." The plane is effortless."

"Ha ha ha ha."

After the orderly's words, several heads of the division headquarters laughed.

Although Zheng Xiaojun had been a 'deserter' for a while, everyone didn't hold him accountable, which added a bit of fun instead.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao came back with a lot of worries. Xia Yuan thought they would rest here for a few days until the fifth battle began, but he didn't expect that the order for the battle would be issued soon. Arrive at the front tomorrow and stick to the central Korean front.

This also means that the fifth battle may not take long before it will start.

That night, they didn't even take too much rest. They followed the [-]th Regiment and continued to go south. They wanted to stick to the central front with the [-]th Army, fight the enemy's defensive position, and wait for the fifth battle to break out.

When we set off, it was raining mistyly.

This is a bad sign.

Xia Yuan looked at the sky, unable to calm down for a long time. He thought of any method, but found that he could not change the fate of the [-]th Division in the future. This is a bloody reality, even if he is now a regiment Long, can not change the fate of the [-]th Division.

If you want to change the fate of the [-]th Division, you must first change the command of the Third Corps, change the commander of the [-]th Division, and change the delayed information.

Moreover, everything cannot be changed by obtaining information about the enemy's counterattack from the enemy's mouth.

The radio station was bombed by the U.S. military, resulting in a delay in the transmission of orders.The misunderstanding of the commander of the [-]th Division caused the [-]th Division to miss the best time to retreat. Even if Xia Yuan thought of the telegram that changed the fate of the [-]th Division, from the current perspective, he would choose to stay. People in the future blame them, but they are standing in the perspective of God.

"Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan!"

Xia Yuan raised his head from his thoughts, saw that Captain Lei was calling him, and quickly responded, "Here!"

"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed in your thoughts. What's going on? After you came to North Korea, you started to lose your mind." Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao walked beside Xia Yuan.

Big Ma said, "Lao Xia is homesick."

"go with!"

Xia Yuan glared at the big guy, and reported, "Commander, the logistics transport convoys we met along the way were all bombed by US bombers. The enemy wanted to cut off our logistics supply line and let our frontline soldiers There is not enough ammunition and food for the next battle. I think, if we can seize some food from the American devils in advance, can it help relieve the logistical pressure? If there is surplus food, we can also relieve the pressure of the brothers A situation of lack of food and ammunition."

Instructor Shao said with a smile: "Why don't you say that Xia Yuan is an old comrade, and many new comrades don't have such a foresight of the future. Old Lei, I think Xia Yuan's idea is good. We must stick to it." The position, but we can’t stick to it blindly, we must adapt to the situation, as you heard at the meeting of the division headquarters last night, the fourth battle has ended, we may start the fifth battle, if possible, we must prepare in advance.”

Captain Lei fell into deep thought, raised his head and said: "The starting point is good, but it's too risky. We haven't really fought against the US military, and we don't know everything about the enemy. If the superior doesn't issue a combat mission, we can't act rashly." attack."

Instructor Shao said: "Just adapt to the situation."

Facing the light rain, they came to the mission site. On a hillside only 300 meters high, there was a winding road below. This was the defense area of ​​their first battalion, and the second and third companies were stationed near them.

The brother troops on the high ground have already retreated. At the foot of the mountain, they met a group of disgraced troops. The cotton clothes on many soldiers were boiled, revealing the charred cotton threads on the roadside. The soldiers were wrapped around their heads and bodies. The bandages were stained with bright red blood. Some wounded were unable to move. They retreated from the mountain with the support of two comrades in arms. seriously wounded.

Captain Lei ordered the troops to stop advancing, and saluted the brother troops who had retreated from the front line.

When the company commander saw the brother troops who came to meet them, his eyes filled with excitement: "You go up, but be careful, the American devils are on the other side of the mountain, and the location may be farther away, but I don't know when they will go up." Come and take a bite."

Company Commander Lei held his hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I will lead them to hold on to your position. Go down and rest."

Watching this steel team coming down from the front line, some new comrades in the company were greatly touched. Wang Xiaoliang said: "It is they who help us hold our ground and help our motherland keep the enemy out."

Liu Tiezhu said: "There are only so few people left in a company. How tragic is the battle on the front line."

Lei Lian said: "No matter how tragic the battle is, no matter whether we will die in the future, we must always remember our mission to the Korean battlefield!"

The soldiers said in unison: "Resist US aggression and aid Korea! Defend our home and our country!"

The high ground is a piece of scorched earth, full of impact points and destroyed fortifications. There is no vegetation on the surface of the mountain, not a single tree, only the blasted rocks, which have been drenched by the light rain. Afterwards, there was a faint earthy aroma.

Instructor Shao said: "The soldiers have already entered the tunnel to rest, Lao Lei, you should also go to rest."

Company Commander Lei looked at the position in front of him seriously, and said, "Has the night duty guard been arranged?"

Instructor Shao said: "It has been arranged. Four hidden sentry posts have been arranged, and three sentry posts on the battlefield have been arranged. The guards will change every two hours, starting from the first row."

Captain Lei nodded, tightened his wet clothes, shivered slightly, and sneezed.

Instructor Shao said, "Go in quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Company Commander Lei nodded. After entering the tunnel, he took off his raincoat. The tunnel is relatively warm. The continuous march day and night did not allow the soldiers to rest much. They were already exhausted. Once exposed to the warm environment, the soldiers They lay on the straw in the tunnel and fell into a deep sleep.

Xia Yuan hasn't slept yet, his mental state is pretty good, and his endurance skills have greatly improved his physical strength, mental strength and even willpower. He leaned against the somewhat cold wall and saw Lei Lian Long came in and sat up propped up.

"Sit down and rest. I haven't seen you take a rest since you went to the DPRK. Now you are finally at the place. We have no other tasks except the task of changing defenses. We will rest here during this time."

Captain Lei said.

Xia Yuan smiled wryly, how could he be in the mood to sleep, his mind was full of the direction of the [-]th Division, no one could understand the feeling of knowing the fate but being powerless to change it, he didn't know how to talk to Lei Lian Instructors Chang and Shao said that their status and circumstances are too special.

"I'm not sleepy yet, company commander, go and rest, you have worried a lot during this time."

Instructor Shao smiled, "Then sleep together."

Xia Yuan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, let's sleep together."

Simply throw away all the thoughts in your head, instead of thinking so much, it is better to think about how to change the fate of some soldiers.

There is another crucial point that cannot change the fate of the [-]th Division, that is, changing the fate of the [-]th Division will have an impact on the future. Xia Yuan thought about the causes and consequences of the fifth battle, and found that even if there is He did not dare to touch a line that could change the fate of the [-]th Division being surrounded by the US military. At that time, the environment in which the [-]th Division was located was that the volunteer army began to shrink across the board and turned into a defensive state. Cheorwon’s position was on the center line of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea , and the location where the [-]th Division was surrounded was Chuncheon, which was on the east side of the center line. Although the [-]th Division was surrounded, but indirectly, the [-]th Division helped other troops in the rear relieve a lot of pressure.

At that time, the west side of the 63th Division was the 63rd Army of the 63th Corps. The 4000rd Army was a heroic army in the Cheorwon blockade. When the entire 2rd Army retreated from the front line, there were only [-] people left. There was only one reinforced regiment left in the original blocking battle, and [-] people were sacrificed.

When the 63rd Army retreated, it did not notify the [-]th Division, which exposed the west side of the [-]th Division. The enemy turned their guns and surrounded the [-]th Division.

If the [-]th Division is allowed to break through, then this group of enemies will not turn their guns, but the whole army will press the border and go straight to the Iron Triangle of Cheorwon-Kimhwa-Pyeongkang. The Triangle is a plain area of ​​Yimapingchuan. Once the US armored vehicles and tanks enter here, the entire front line of the Volunteer Army will shrink back hundreds of kilometers, shrinking to the rear of Pyongyang. This is equivalent to fighting five battles, and finally returned to Unsan The starting point of the war.

Similarly, the east side of the 63th Division is the [-]th Division. They also failed to withstand the attack of the US military. , The Pseudo Sixth Division interspersed from the gap between the [-]th Division and the [-]rd Army, and went around to the back of the [-]th Division, completely cutting off the retreat of the [-]th Division, and completed the encirclement of the [-]th Division.

If there is no [-]th Division, then the Pseudo Sixth Division can continue to penetrate forward, and it may be like a sharp knife, completely cutting the Western Front and the Eastern Front from the middle. If you can stride to the rear of our army, then there may be no Huachuan blockade, or even Cheorwon blockade.

From the perspective of the overall situation, although the [-]th Division was surrounded, the U.S. military dispatched a large number of troops to surround the [-]th Division, which indirectly reduced the pursuit of the central front. The division can be regarded as using itself to complete a wave of containment of the enemy.

Xia Yuan does not have the overall view of a high-ranking general like the Great General. He just possesses a god vision from modern people and knows the fate of the [-]th Division. Many people want to change the fate of the [-]th Division, and Xia Yuan does not. Exceptions, but if the fate of the [-]th Division is really changed and the [-]th Division is led to retreat early, then who will hold on to the defense line of the central front? Chasing and beating the volunteers' buttocks.

Perhaps there may be another division of the Volunteer Army left behind to undertake the post-break mission.

Maybe it could be another scene.

Xia Yuan couldn't predict the future.

In this way, is it still changing?
This was undoubtedly the most painful for Xia Yuan.

At night, he had another nightmare. He dreamed that he had returned to Shangganling. He dreamed that they did not hold their positions. The body formed a wall comparable to the Maginot Line, and the blood gathered to form a river, and severed limbs and arms were floating on the surface of the bloody river.

Xia Yuan woke up from the dream covered in sweat, panting heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, untied the padded jacket in front of him, and came to the entrance of the tunnel, the cold wind blowing in from outside made his whole body feel transparent .

"Platoon leader."

Wang Xiaoliang was on guard at the entrance of the tunnel.

Xia Yuan sat down on the ground, took out a pack of Daximen from his pocket, and threw one to Wang Xiaoliang: "Can you smoke?"

Wang Xiaoliang took the cigarette and shook his head: "Platoon leader, I'll give it a try."

"Try a fart, bring it here."

Xia Yuan said a little annoyed.

Wang Xiaoliang threw the cigarette butt to Xia Yuan again, Xia Yuan caught it and put it in his mouth, struck a match, and the faint light of the fire was extinguished after a few flickers with the cold wind blowing in from the entrance of the tunnel.

"Grass!" Xia Yuan cursed, and scratched another irritably. This time he covered it with both hands, and then lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, and the smoke passed through his mouth and entered his lungs , and spit it out from the lungs through the nose, Xia Yuanfang sat on the ground relaxedly, he suddenly understood why people smoke.

Wang Xiaoliang looked at Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan looked at him while smoking a cigarette, and said, "Wang Xiaoliang, how does it feel to be a soldier?"

Wang Xiaoliang said without hesitation: "Very good, it feels like home here, everyone is very nice and motivated."

"Then are you afraid of death?"

He smoked and asked again.

"fear death."

"Then why do you still want to join the army? Why didn't you agree to let you stay at home when you went abroad?"

"I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of American devils coming in."

"...Then let me ask you a question."

"Platoon leader, you ask."

"If one day you had to sacrifice one person in exchange for the survival of the entire company, would you be willing?"

A brief silence.
"Yes! Such a sacrifice is worth it!"

does it worth?
