The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 57 The Crisis Brought by the Severe Cold

On a snowy night, the air became extremely cold and the temperature dropped sharply.

Among the rocky mountain depressions, the Seventh Interlude Company was advancing dully. Wu Qianli looked at the map and said to Mei Sheng: "Our direction is not wrong. After turning over three mountains, it will be Xinxingli. We will intersect There are only five days left to reach the 1100 and 1200 highlands in Xinxingli, and we have to speed up."

Mei Sheng glanced at the soldiers of the Seventh Company lying in ambush behind him in the snow, and then at Wu Qianli: "The three mountains have to be detoured. This is a huge test for us. The most important thing is that soldiers in the company have already appeared Frostbite, and the food is almost finished, three mountains"

He looked at Wu Qianli silently.

Wu Qianli rolled up the map and stuffed it into his arms, "Gather all the food in the team, eat only two meals a day, set a time to eat, give priority to the cotton clothes to the frostbitten soldiers, and persevere with a strong body. When the general offensive begins, We captured it from the US military!"

Mei Sheng nodded.

Wu Wanli came over and took off his coat, "Brother, please give my coat to the wounded soldiers."

Lei Gong stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Wanli's hand, "What's the matter with you? The bones haven't grown hard yet, so it's okay to freeze it? My body is strong and strong, just give mine to the soldiers, forget about Wanli's."

Yu Congrong took a breath, "What's the matter, beat Mengyin, your body was injured just now, so this is another freeze."

"Ah, Lei Gong's body was injured?" Wu Wanli looked surprised.

Yu Congrong nodded, "Yes, Xiao Wanli, let me tell you."

"Yu Congrong, get the hell out of here for me."

Lei Gong stretched out his foot and kicked Yu Congrong, staring at him: "If you are injured, you are injured. I know if I can do it. Take it."

Wu Qianli said: "Okay, the coats will be worn in turns, each person will have 10 minutes."

The situation of the Seventh Interspersed Company is already considered good. It has completed the task of escorting the radio station and received supplies in Dayu Cave, while the situation of the other teams of the Ninth Corps is more serious.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the battle has not yet started. The Ninth Infantry Regiment has already lost more than [-] members due to frostbite. This number will double in the next few days. Many teams wear autumn winter clothing. Wearing rubber shoes on the top, it is the kind of single rubber shoes of Jiefang brand.Day and night in the wild, there are holes but no grass, the shoes are wet, the feet are frozen to ice, and the socks are even peeled off. Even the cotton leather shoes cannot be warmed by the fire when they are wet, and they cannot be dried for a long time.A lot of food was also consumed during the journey, and the logistics supplies could not keep up. There was no hot food to eat, cold water to drink, snow to eat on the mountain, and potatoes and flour every day.Sometimes those frozen into ice cannot be eaten, and the nutrition cannot keep up. Soldiers generally suffer from diarrhea, coughing, greatly reduced physical strength, and even reduced resistance.

The situation will not get better as time goes by, it will only intensify. The temperature in Changjin Lake is still dropping every night, and the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger.

Soldiers not only have to fight against the U.S. military, which is well-equipped, has three advantages in sea, land and air, and has a lot of heavy firepower, but also has to fight against severe cold and hunger.

The situation of the third battalion is equally grim. The commander of the third battalion said that the 160th soldier of the original seventh interspersed company also had the task of going to Xinxingli. 1100 Heights, 1200 Heights can cut off the enemy's advancing path and support the brothers' main force on the north bank of Jiangqiao. The geographical location is particularly important.

The 1250 and 1100 highlands are the two highlands that the Volunteers plan to compete for. The 1250 highland is the only place where the U.S. military retreats toward Xinxingli, and the 1100 highland is the only place where the U.S. troops in Xinxingli must pass.Once the U.S. troops in Xinxing find themselves surrounded by volunteers, they will be faced with two choices.Advance or retreat, once the U.S. military in Xinxingli has these two ideas, then the battle in Xinxingli will focus on these two high grounds.

Therefore, the 80th Regiment of the 239th Division will stick to the 1250 Heights.The 80rd Battalion of the 239th Regiment of the 3th Division will stick to the 1100 Heights and the 1100 Heights after the 1200 Heights. (The 3rd Battalion of Tan Ziwei in the Changjin Lake movie was the 80nd Battalion of the 239th Regiment of the 2th Division in the real Changjin Lake battlefield. The prototype of the seventh interspersed company in the movie], one company completed the task of a battalion, captured the enemy sentry overnight, killed and wounded about 239 enemies, destroyed a howitzer position of the enemy, killed the 2st regiment leader McClain, and captured the symbolic Carrying the honorary flag of the Polar Bear Regiment, and occupying houses on the south bank of the Jiangqiao, and smoothly supporting the brother troops in Jiangbei to cross the bridge, in general, Changjin Lake is relatively conservative in shooting)

In addition to the Seventh Interlude Company which had its own special tasks, there were only about [-] people left in the Eighth Company and the Ninth Company. The severe cold caused some thinly dressed soldiers to suffer from frostbite to varying degrees. The palms of his hands were red and swollen, and there were cracks from the cold, which made Tan Ziwei feel distressed.

"Our soldiers have suffered too much, and victory must belong to us! If we don't have clothes, we will grab them from the US military. If the weapons are not good, we will seize them from the US military. If the food is not good, we will eat the US military. Food, in short, no guns or cannons, the enemy built them for us!"

Time went around and came to No. 23. Xia Yuan used two days to find out the location west of Xinxingli, but he didn't find the location of the enemy's command post, which means that this is not the place where the Seventh Interlude Company attacked. In addition, there are US military defenses on the high ground on the left and right sides, so I may be exposed at any time.

On the night of the 23rd, after careful consideration, Xia Yuan decided to hide the car with a lot of branches, and took enough food and a sleeping bag to the east side of Xinxingli.

There is no way around this. The Changjin Lake movie was fun to watch, but after watching it, I was at a loss. I only know that the Seventh Interlude Company captured the flag of the US Polar Bear Regiment, but where it was captured is unknown. I know, and through his observation, the headquarters is not in the west of Xinxingli, so it is very likely to be in the east of Xinxingli, and the location to the east is the 1100 and 1200 heights.

And he is on the 1250 highland west of Xinxingli, which is far away.

The car can no longer be started, and it is under the nose of the enemy. Once it is ignited, it will be discovered by the enemy. At that time, a car of supplies may not be safe.Xia Yuan hid the supplies, walked along the 1456 highland to the east side of Xinxingli, and quickly launched a reconnaissance of the highland on the east side of Xinxingli.

After groping for about two hours, Xia Yuan came to the east side according to the map. After reconnaissance, he found no enemy troops stationed at the 1200 and 1100 heights. , successfully detected the enemy's command post, and even found an enemy howitzer position here, and the enemy's defenses were also outlined in the notebook one by one. In this way, some of the heavy firepower locations of the US military in Xinxingli appeared in on the notebook.

Of course, this is only the U.S. military in Xinxingli, and there is no deployment of the U.S. military in the inner hole and Jiangbei.

The general situation around Xinxingli is that to the north of Xinxingli is a branched river of Changjin Lake. When you look across the river, you can see rolling mountains. There are two highlands here, namely 1324.4 highland and 1475 highland. On the west side is Neidongzhi, where the 32st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment of the 1250th Division of the US Army is stationed.To the south of Jianghe is Xinxingli. To the west of Xinxingli is the 1456 highland, to the south is the 1200 highland, and to the east are the 1100 highland and the [-] highland.

During the day he hid in his sleeping bag and slept, and at night he went out to draw pictures. The content in the notebook was more precious than the materials in the car in front of him.

At this time, there were less than three days left before the general attack.
