The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 73 Rewards under the fire (First Order)

新兴里战斗从11月27日下午4时30分打响到12月2日4时全歼北极熊团，用时五天时间，这五天，发生了太多太多。

With the night of the 27th and the end of the first night of fighting, the Ninth Corps divided and surrounded the [-]st Marine Division in Xinxingli, Liutanli, and Xiajieyuli, and some troops targeted Xiajieyuli to Liutanli , Xinxingli, and between Xiajieyuli and Gutuli.

Interspersed and divided, on the first night, the First Marine Division was cut into several sections by the sharp knife of the Volunteer Army like an earthworm.

After the battle of the entire Changjin Lake ended on the first night, our army showed its superiority on the surface.

At dawn, the snow gradually receded, and after a night of fighting, the Ninth Corps captured the highlands of the U.S. Army in the Battle of Changjin Lake. Only small units were sent to stay behind, that is, units ranked by squads, while large troops were farther away from the highlands. This is because our army does not have superior artillery firepower and air supremacy.

This has also formed a situation. Although the overall situation is that our army surrounds the enemy with superior forces, when the enemy attacks during the day, it is the enemy who attacks more and less. Position, and under the cover of tanks, heavy artillery and aircraft, launched a counterattack to the high ground where the volunteer soldiers were stationed.

The volunteer soldiers stationed on the high ground need to persist until night falls!

The attack method of the U.S. Army is the same as that of the Japanese Army, but the attack method of the U.S. Army is more ruthless. Heavy artillery bombardment, aircraft bombing, firepower covering the hills, aircraft strafing at low altitude, and then the infantry and tanks cooperate. When the tanks do not move to a certain extent, the infantry charges. .

Moreover, the US military's firepower coverage does not include the hilltops on the high ground. The firepower range also includes the reverse slope of the hilltop and the rear of the high ground, especially the shelling of the reverse slope will continue. The purpose is to block the reinforcement channel of our second-line reserve forces. Prevent our army from reinforcing volunteer soldiers on the high ground and isolate our highland defense forces, while the enemy can continue to increase their troops and attack again and again.

As for our army's tactics, it is relatively simple. The troops stationed on the high ground always follow the line of defense, calmly let the enemy approach, and then fire violently. When the enemy makes a further step, the grenade will fly horizontally. on their stomachs.

Regardless of the size of the American soldiers, what they are most afraid of is the close combat of the volunteers. Often the volunteers rush out of the bunker with their guns on the sound of the charge. They dare not fight hand-to-hand.

Although the soldiers of our Volunteer Army were brave and tenacious, the reinforcement road on the reverse slope of the highland was blocked by the enemy, and the enemy could send more troops to continue the attack.

This offensive and defensive mode continued to be staged throughout the Changjin Lake Battle.

Xia Yuan followed the large army and retreated to the rear. He could hear the continuous sound of American artillery fire from a distance. From dawn to noon, the artillery fire continued continuously. He couldn't count how many times the American planes bombed. How many shells were released, and I don't know how many times the platoon of more than 1100 soldiers guarding the [-] high ground withstood the enemy's charge, and under the full coverage of artillery fire, how many remaining combatants were left.

All I know is that at two o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery fire ahead stopped.

The soldiers stood at the back, looking towards Xinxingli. No one said anything, they just watched quietly. It was a sunny day, but gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire sky.

Holding the gun, Xia Yuan sat quietly on a protruding rock, watching quietly.The cruelty of the war made him feel palpitations even if he was the one who opened the door. He didn't even dare to guarantee that he would hold his ground, relying on more than [-] people, how could he persist for a day.

I don't even know how cruel, tragic, and desolate the battle of Cheorwon and Shangganling will be in the future.

Yu Congrong came to Xia Yuan with the canned food seized by the U.S. Army, "Eat some, eat more to kill the U.S. imperialists."

Xia Yuan turned his head to look at Yu Congrong, saw his red eyes, silently took the can in his hand, and began to eat in small bites.

Yu Congrong was sitting next to Xia Yuan, looking at the direction of the 1100 Heights, the gunpowder smoke was still lingering, but the artillery fire had stopped, everyone knew what it meant.

Xia Yuan ate a little, stuffed his stomach, and handed the rest to Yu Congrong: "Let the wounded soldier eat."

Yu Congrong patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Go ahead, they have some."

"Oh." Xia Yuan nodded and said nothing more. He suddenly remembered his batch of supplies, and said to Yu Congrong, "By the way, the cartload of supplies I seized earlier is still west of Xinxingli."

The battle in Xinxingli has already begun, and the batch of supplies that he has seized cannot be left there for nothing, but must be allowed to play a role.

Yu Congrong asked in disbelief: "You really got the enemy a load of supplies?"

Xia Yuan nodded firmly: "Nonsense, I'm going to get it back and hand it over to the 239th regiment. They attacked the enemy's two high grounds last night, and then attacked the enemy's forward position from the front. In addition, the logistics supply can't get up. The first night After consuming so many supplies, they must need this batch of supplies.”

Yu Congrong thought for a while, then got up: "I'm going to find the company commander."

Soon, a little soldier came to the area where the soldiers were resting and shouted: "Comrade Xia Yuan of the Seventh Crossing Company! Comrade Xia Yuan of the Seventh Crossing Company!"

Ping He shouted to Xia Yuan from a distance: "Xia Yuan, I'm calling you."

Xia Yuan got up, turned to look at Pinghe, Lei Gong and Wu Wanli who were sitting together, and walked over.

Lei Gong looked at him and stood up: "This is war. You have to defend the high ground. Everyone knows what it means to defend the high ground. The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. You feel uncomfortable. The leader of the 238th regiment is even more uncomfortable. He gave the order." At that time, we were under so much psychological pressure, so we must use the guns in our hands to win this battle and wipe out all the enemies in Xinxing!"

Xia Yuan nodded heavily, holding the gun firmly in his hand.

Lei Gong patted him on the shoulder, "You were already very good last night. The instructor handed over your achievements to the division headquarters early in the morning, killed the commander of the U.S. Army's bear regiment, captured their flag, and blew up the enemy's firepower point. , Outline the defense map of the US military, rescue the brothers' troops, cover the marking bombs so that the US military cannot bomb us, you are a hero! A real hero!!"

Xia Yuan watched the soldiers of the Seventh Company cast eager gazes, some were wrapped in bandages, some were lying on the mattress, but their eyes were full of admiration and praise.

Lei Gong smiled, "Go, take a good rest after you come back, look at your eyes, how red are they, we have to fight tonight."

Xia Yuan grinned, bid farewell to Lei Gong, Wu Wanli Pinghe and the others, came to the headquarters, and met Wu Qianli, Mei Sheng, Yu Congrong, Tan Ziwei, the head of the 238th Regiment, and the 238th Regiment who had met last night Battalion Commander Sun of the Third Battalion.

Battalion Commander Sun stepped forward, held Xia Yuan's hand, and said excitedly: "Comrade Xia Yuan, I want to thank you! I have already heard from the members of the blasting team last night and told what happened to them last night. If there is no You, the enemy's bunker will cause huge casualties to our army."

Xia Yuan said: "This is what I should do."

The head of the 238th Regiment said: "Time is running out. I have already heard that you have seized a truckload of supplies. I also telegraphed the 239th Regiment. They have already sent people to look for it. Don't worry. The 239th Regiment received a lot of goods last night. Relying on the defense map you drew, with the targets to be attacked by the artillery, all the fortifications of the enemy's forward positions will be destroyed. In one day, they will at most dig trenches and communication trenches. At night, it will be our general offensive. U.S. Army! We will eat them all!"

Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily.

The head of the 238 regiment smiled and said: "You are a battle hero now. I wrote down your deeds with your company commander and handed it over to the department! Just now, the department's commendation order came down. Do you want to see it? "

"Commendation order? Yes!"

The instructor of the 2238 Regiment took a telegram and handed it to Mei Sheng: "You guys read the telegram."

"Hey."

Mei Sheng smiled, took the telegram with both hands, and exchanged a glance with Wu Qianli.

Wu Qianli immediately said: "Then call all the soldiers of the Seventh Company!"

Tan Ziwei also said to the instructor beside him: "This is a celebration, instructor, let all the soldiers of our battalion come over and listen. Be careful, don't be spotted by the US military's reconnaissance plane."

The battalion instructor smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call right away."

The head of the 238 regiment looked at the instructor around him, and the instructor said: "There are too many people, and the goal is too big, but when the war is over, this award will be awarded by the whole army, and the soldiers will see it."

The head of the regiment thought for a while and said: "Okay, then I will listen to you. When the award comes out, I will hold a regiment meeting and read it to the soldiers face to face, so as to motivate the soldiers."

Xia Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment.

After a while, volunteer soldiers crouched in the valley where they were resting. The 400th Interlude Company and Tan Ziwei's [-]rd Battalion had almost assembled. There were more than [-] people, and many of them were wrapped in bandages. Thin, crowded between the valleys, wearing a cotton jacket worn backwards and a thick cotton military cap on his head.

Mei Sheng was right in front of the team, holding the commendation order, his gaze eagerly glanced at the soldiers below, and he said: "Comrades, in the battle last night, a soldier of our Seventh Interlude Company was commended! Everyone guess who it is."

Mei Sheng's words caused the soldiers to whisper. They thought it would be a new combat mission, but unexpectedly, a battle hero was born. They were discussing in whispers.

Lei Gong was all smiles, but Wu Wanli was confused, "Lei Gong, what are you laughing at?"

Lei Gong smiled and said, "You don't know yet?"

Wu Wanli shook his head blankly, "I don't know."

Yu Congrong turned his head, "Xiao Wanli, it's your brother Yuan, you followed Father Lei last night, I don't know what your brother Yuan was doing."

Wu Wanli looked at Yu Congrong, "What did you do?"

Ping He's muffled voice came out, his eyes filled with praise and admiration: "Xia Yuan's marksmanship is getting better and better, he is growing very fast, and he will definitely grow into a sniper in the future!"

Yu Congrong sat on the side holding the gun, laughing loudly: "Thanks to the company commander for giving Xia to our platoon, hehehe, I found a treasure."

Wu Wanli didn't speak, his eyes were shining brightly.

Tan Ziwei smiled and said, "It's alright, Instruct Mei, and you don't have to play riddles for the soldiers."

Mei Sheng smiled, and read aloud, "To Comrade Xia Yuan, the Seventh Interlude Company of the Attacking Fortified Regiment: Comrade Xia Yuan drew a map of the US military's deployment in Xinxingli when he was separated from the team. The 27-point comprehensive attack laid the foundation and greatly reduced the casualties of our army, and in the battle on the night of the 4th,

After reading this, Mei Sheng's tone turned sharp, sonorous and forceful, and he read with firmness and pride in his tone: "When Comrade Xia Yuan was separated from the main force, he was not afraid of a strong enemy and faced up to difficulties. He made great achievements in battle. After this, Our department decided to reward Comrade Xia Yuan!! A great achievement!"

"First class!"

Mei Sheng's words exploded in the team like thunder. Whether it was the soldiers of the third battalion or the soldiers of the seventh interlude company, all the soldiers looked at Xia Yuan with changed eyes, became fiery, worshiped, and respected , became joyful and eager.

Xia Yuan, they have known each other since the division's first award for all teachers.

One person resisted a reconnaissance company of the US military, and survived jumping off a cliff with injuries.

One person wiped out a reconnaissance platoon of more than [-] people with one gun. The enemy was so frightened that he didn't dare to show his head.

In the battle last night, one person destroyed several firepower points of the US military, rushed into the US military headquarters, killed the US military commander, captured a US military flag, and blew up several enemy bunkers to meet the troops north of Jiangqiao!
This is a truly invincible hero!
Wu Qianli said: "Applause!"

Mei Sheng rolled up the commendation order carefully, slapped his palm vigorously, and looked at Xia Yuan happily, with affirmation, pride, and pride in his eyes.

The applause lasted like a wave, and all the soldiers looked at Xia Yuan excitedly.

Xia Yuan was standing beside Mei Sheng, with an unparalleled sense of pride rising in his heart. He looked solemn and respected all the soldiers with lofty military salutes!
