The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 397 New Battle Plan
Company Commander Lei came over and said: "We have heard what the platoon leader said just now, and he has his own opinions. The American devils are very different from any enemy we have fought against in the past. According to the meeting held by the division headquarters, the U.S. It is the country with the strongest military strength in the world. They have advanced weapons and equipment, and they are far above us. At present, these simple machine gun bunkers of the enemy are strangely constructed, convenient and fast, and they are the fastest type of field fortifications of the US military. Usually fifteen to three 10 minutes can build a machine gun bunker, and if they are well prepared, they can even build a machine gun bunker in 10 minutes."

For 10 minutes, the soldiers couldn't help but click their tongues.

Instructor Shao said: "Last year, the American devils had reached the edge of our Yalu River, but this year, we have fought the American devils to the [-]th parallel. After several battles, we have wiped out a large number of American devils. What the fuck? The most powerful country is just a paper tiger, and it will still be defeated by our volunteers."

The soldiers said one after another: "The American devils are paper tigers!"

Lei Lian said: "The superior gave us two nights to pull out the three nails directly in front of us. I said, two nights is too much time, and one night is enough. My soldiers are fierce. Three nails What is it, four or five, we can still uproot them!"

Simply mobilizing the fighting enthusiasm of the soldiers, he said again: "Hurry up and pack the ammunition, we will set off immediately!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers didn't have time to pack up the materials left by the American devils on the high ground. They simply replenished the ammunition brought up by the comrades in the cooking squad. In this position, there was not even time to be sad. Each soldier filled the previously emptied magazine with bullets. In about a few minutes, three platoons of soldiers headed towards the enemy.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao personally led a company of soldiers to the enemy's 372 Heights.

When they set off, there was another commotion in the team. There were three squads in a row. When attacking the enemy's defense line on the right, most of the soldiers in the third squad were injured. Although they could continue to fight, if they continued to fight, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xia Yuan wanted them to stay in the 311 position and receive treatment, but the soldiers disagreed. They finally fought the American devils. They had just participated in the battle, and they were about to withdraw from the next battle due to injuries, which caused many injuries. fighters can not accept.

"Platoon leader, let us follow, help cover, suppress firepower, we all know it, and we will never make trouble for you!"

"Yes, platoon leader, although I am injured, I can still move my legs. I still hold a gun to fight the American devils. How can I withdraw from the next battle because of a slight injury."

"I still want to win glory for the country, and I can't quit the battle, platoon leader, just let us follow."

Xia Yuan was still unable to convince the wounded soldiers with your words and my words. He looked at the wounded soldiers and said in an orderly tone: "You should rest well for the next battle. When you will be needed in the future , instead of dragging your injured body to fight the American devils! This is not a request, but an order!"

Xia Yuan was very helpless in his heart. He was very moved by the soldiers' behavior of being wounded and still unwilling to go to the front line. People in this era are so pure and their thoughts are so clean, but he couldn't bear it in his heart, and continued to let They fought with their wounds, which he couldn't do.

He was also able to use a stern tone to order these wounded soldiers to stay on Height 311 for treatment.

Company Commander Lei said with emotion: "Our soldiers are always so cute."

Instructor Shao said: "After all, we are the cutest people!"

Considering that the next battle might be even more brutal, and the wounded soldiers could not shoulder the tough battle at all, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao believed that Xia Yuan's order was correct. In the end, thirteen wounded comrades in the third row and the first row stayed behind. In the 311 position.

On the one hand, it is to receive treatment, and on the other hand, it is to look at the 311 position, so don't let the American devils touch it.

At the same time, there are also health workers and soldiers from the cooking class.

On the way out, Company Commander Lei found Big Ma and said, "Big Ma, what's the matter with you, you can't even do the interspersed tasks!"

Big Ma felt aggrieved: "Company commander, instructor, who knew that the foreign devils had set up flares behind Shan's buttocks, and the mines couldn't be seen at all. As soon as they touched the mines, the flares flew up, and the formation of the second row quickly The ground was exposed, and before we could react, the enemy's guns rang out, and there was only one platoon, and the terrain was bad, so we couldn't fight back, and we couldn't retreat."

"Just looking for reasons. A platoon leader led a squad and destroyed two machine gun bunkers of the American devils. You have seen the terrain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. How did they do it?"

Company Commander Lei glared at the boy, "If you break through behind the enemy ahead of time, you will save more soldiers from sacrificing more soldiers and take down the enemy's high ground in a shorter time if you hit the 311 hill from the rear."

Big Ma kept his head sullen and didn't say a word, thinking in his heart that when he hit the 372 Heights, he must show the American devils a little bit of strength.

Height 372 is a hill behind 311 Heights. It is 400 meters above sea level and has a gentle slope.

Height 311 was a huge nail on the way for their first company to attack, and it was difficult to pull out. They still overcame this huge difficulty, while Height 372 was relatively simple. The enemy built simple fortifications and firepower bunkers on the top of the mountain. This is the basic structure of the American devils. There are bullet shelters and tunnels for hoarding troops in the curved and surrounded field trenches, which are not weaker than the tunnels dug by volunteer soldiers on the reverse slope of the mountain.

In this regard, the American devils also have very rich experience.

It's just that compared to volunteer soldiers digging pits on the reverse slope of the mountain, the American devils prefer to dig pits underground. It seems that they can feel very comfortable that way.

Height 311 was attacked by the Volunteers, and the American devils on Height 372 had already entered the fighting state. Xia Yuan observed the American devils on the mountain. Ammunition, four or five light and heavy machine guns are set up in the machine gun bunker, and the super bazooka is also ready.

Big Ma was a little puzzled, and asked: "Strange, since the American devils already knew that Height 311 was lost, why didn't they light up those flares? It's pitch black. If the American devils changed their defenses, It's very bad for us."

Captain Lei observed with the binoculars, and said, "You also know that the enemy may change the defense situation, so why do they still need to fire flares to expose the defense situation on their positions?"

The big horse scratched his head.

Instructor Shao observed for a while, collected himself, looked at the time on his watch, and said, "These American devils are already preparing. It is eleven o'clock. From six o'clock to now, we have wasted a lot of time. If If we waste more time on Height 372, I am afraid that before dawn, it will be difficult to pull out the three nails of the enemy, which will definitely affect the next battle."

Company Commander Lei said: "We can't wait any longer. Just follow the pre-planned battle plan. Any situation on the battlefield may happen, so be prepared to adapt."

The weather conditions in the past few days have been worrying, so that there is no moon at night, and the sky is so dark that it is difficult to observe the deployment of the American devils on the battlefield. Under such circumstances, Xia Yuan used his huge advantage, he Said: "Company commander, instructor, don't worry, I have a new battle plan."

It is very difficult to convince them without being able to expose your abilities. After all, you have already observed the defense situation of the enemy's high grounds. When night comes, the possibility of the enemy changing the current defense situation is very high. It's small, but it's not impossible, it's just that it's too dark, and it's hard for commanders and fighters to figure out what's going on in the enemy's position.

There is no other way, the weather in other areas is not as bad as in the central area, only in their area, the weather is smoggy, which seems to indicate something. , it may suddenly rain somewhere in the upper reaches of the Han River, it is also possible.

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao were a little dazed when they heard that Xia Yuan had a new battle plan. Xia Yuan was already a veteran in their company. If he hadn't often left his troops behind and charged recklessly, maybe he could have improved even higher. , Unexpectedly, when he came to the Korean battlefield, he seemed to have changed his recklessness.

When attacking the 311 highland, there was an obvious change. It was no longer a reckless attack to break through the enemy's defense line to bring victory to the troops. Such a victory is always accompanied by sacrifice. Instead, it is a steady and steady move forward. Advance, even at the moment of being suppressed by the enemy's firepower, there is no risky charge, but trust the comrades on the left and right wings, and believe that they can help you relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

This change is undoubtedly a good thing.

What made them even more unexpected was that this guy actually said that he had a new battle plan when attacking Height 372.

The two became interested.

"Tell me, what is the battle plan?"

Xia Yuan stared at the 372 highland in the distance. The enemy's blockade is very tight, but there will always be weaknesses. For example, the American devils are relatively weak in the deployment of troops with firepower bunkers, but the defense of troops without firepower bunkers is very thick. , Then they can completely hit the troops, attack the enemy's firebase point, tear through the enemy's defense line at an unexpected speed, and then bloom among the enemy.

"As long as our firepower is strong enough to quickly eliminate the enemy's fire bunker, then the next battle will be a battle that blossoms from the middle to the surroundings. The enemy is not our opponent. In this regard, they have to ask We are called Grandpa."

Xia Yuan's plan is bold, the company's strength is only so small, once the enemy can't attack in a short time, the enemy reacts, there is no force on the left and right sides to restrain the enemy, they are likely to be surrounded by the enemy, and the enemy's machine gun firepower is not only It will not become their breakthrough, but will become the last straw that crushes them.

Captain Lei thought about it, and said: "Although the plan is good, it is very risky. We only have two bazookas, how can we quickly destroy the enemy's machine gun bunker, let alone break through the enemy's defense line."

Instructor Shao also understands that a plan is a good plan, but for a company that seriously lacks the weapons to attack the fortifications, a good plan will turn into a bad plan.

Lao Yang couldn't help but said at the side: "Reporting to the company commander, when attacking the 311 highland, Lao Xia blinded the enemy's firepower point with the American devil's gun, which relieved the huge pressure for us to attack the enemy's forward position. Thought it would be worth a try.”

Chen Lie hesitated for a moment, and said: "Commander, I can testify to Lao Yang that when we attacked the enemy's high ground, the enemy had a machine gun firing point blocking our way, and Lao Xia just shot and aimed. , the enemy's machine gun firepower was blinded, and we thought we could try it."

Big Ma was a little surprised: "Old Xia can really use a gun to blind the enemy's machine gun bunker!?"

He couldn't believe it.

Chen Lie said: "Well, we saw with our own eyes that the enemy's machine gun bunker had just fired a few bullets, and Xia Yuan shot it blindly. This relieved us a lot of pressure in chasing the American devils."

Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao looked at each other, thinking about the feasibility of this plan.

Captain Lei picked up a branch on the ground, drew an irregular circle on the ground, and said, "Compare this circle to Height 372. This is where the enemy's machine gun bunkers are densely arranged."

He tapped a protruding spot with a tree branch, and said: "This spot is where the enemy's firepower is most densely arranged. The more there are five machine gun bunkers, the less serious the firepower bunkers in other areas are. In some places, even There is no firepower bunker, but the road to attack is very steep, and it is a position that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Xia Yuan observed the enemy's position, and the situation was not far from what Company Commander Lei said.

Lieutenant Commander Lei also said: "If the platoon leader thinks that the enemy deploys fewer troops at the machine gun fire point and more troops at other places, I think it is unlikely. On the contrary, the enemy will deploy a large number of troops in the machine gun bunker. Troop strength, because the areas without machine gun bunkers are mostly easy to defend and difficult to attack."

He said: "Although the idea is good, if it is the same as I think, even if we can break through the blockade of the enemy's machine gun bunker, the deployment of the enemy's troops is a huge problem for us."

Instructor Shao felt that Company Commander Lei’s words were more reliable. After all, according to Zhisi’s attack time, the weather on their side was not good. There were dark clouds in the sky at night, and the visibility was not high. It is difficult to observe the defense situation on the enemy's high ground at night, especially the 311 high ground was attacked by them.

It is not guaranteed that the enemy will change the defense situation on the 372 Heights.
