The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 91
At night, after finishing repairs for the Seventh Company, the soldiers dug out a smokeless stove, and made a hearty hodgepodge of canned beef, canned vegetables, fried noodles, and potatoes. This was the best meal the soldiers had ever eaten since they entered the dynasty Meal, also the most nutritious meal, swept away the fatigue for the soldiers.Then everyone boiled some hot water and wiped the dust on their faces with hot towels. They didn't dare to wash their faces and feet with hot water, for fear that they would become swollen and unable to walk the next day after washing.

The soldiers gathered together, eating steaming meals, drinking steaming tea, and having a comfortable sleep. Taking advantage of the moonlight, Wu Qianli called the Qi Company to assemble, organize their weapons and equipment, and after lining up, They set off without roll call, and all the wounded had been transferred to the rear for recuperation, and they still had to continue fighting.

With the end of the battle in Xinxingli, the Seventh Interlude Company began to follow the large troops southward, and they could meet their own troops after a short walk. Most of them were companies that had withdrawn from Liutanli, and some troops came from Liutanli .

On the 29th, the order of the Ninth Corps was to concentrate its forces and give priority to destroying the U.S. troops in Xinxingli, then Liutanli, and finally Xiajieyuli, but the U.S. troops in Liutanli began on December [-] To retreat in the direction of Xiajieyuli, the order of the headquarters was issued on December [-], and the troops in the direction of Xinxingli quickly supported the troops in the direction of Liutanli and Xiajieyuli.

The goal of Qilian is Xiajieyuli. If it is to go around from the mountain, it will take at least two or three days to go around, and the time is too late.

Orders are above all else, and fighter planes cannot be missed.

At twelve o'clock, the team of the Seventh Interlude Company faced the wind and snow and disappeared into the vast night.

It's more than 30 degrees below zero, even if you are wearing thick cotton clothes, you can still feel the cold outside. The snow on the ground is as thick as your calf. The soldiers walking in the front don't know if there is any place to step on. The soldiers followed the team step by step. The team was very quiet and no one spoke.

Xia Yuan followed Wu Wanli and Lei Gong, Yu Congrong and Pinghe were in front, Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng walked in front of the team, the thick snow made the team slow down, the thirsty soldiers stretched out their hands to grab the snow on the ground and poured it into their mouths Rise.

They have left Xinxingli and are heading to Xiajieyuli.

Three nights later.

After turning over a mountain, the scouts in front sent a whistle. After walking forward for a short time, after turning over a small hill, they encountered a brother army. It was a very long team, and the uniforms on their bodies turned gray. The clothes of many soldiers were rotten, exposing scorched cotton. The soldiers in the team looked very tired. It was obvious that they had started to attack again not long after the battle.

Panting, Ping He stepped forward and shouted: "Brother, which unit are you from? Where did you come from?"

A man on the opposite side stopped, breathed slightly, and replied: "Liutanli, the [-]th Army, how about you?"

Yu Congrong said: "Attack the fortified regiment, the seventh interspersed company."

The man said again: "We are almost at the airport. There are heavy firepower, and they are all located three kilometers outside their airport. Be careful."

Wu Qianli and the others nodded to the man in front of them, and Mei Sheng said, "Be careful too."

"it is good!"

The man smiled, nodded, turned and followed the troops towards Xiajieyuli.

Looking away, Mei Sheng said: "It seems that we have come around from the west side, so we probably went wrong."

Being able to meet the 20th Army can only mean that they appeared on the left side of Xiajieyu.

Wu Qianli took a breath, and said: "It's too dark, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Even with a map, it's hard for us to go right, but going forward is Xiajieyuli, which is the same direction as ours. It's not easy to walk from here." no problem."

"Five thousand miles!"

Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng were discussing whether to go to the airport, when a strong voice came from a distance, Xia Yuan looked in the direction of the sound, and there were military trucks parked not far away, with heavy artillery behind them , a man with rough skin was sitting in the car, looking at them.

Yu Congrong was extremely surprised: "Paoying! You are finally here!"

Yu Congrong and Pinghe ran up with a smile, looked left and right, the soldiers in the car obviously knew Pinghe and the others, sitting in the car, pulling Pinghe:

"Come on, come on, Pinghe, sit here. Why did I see you here? Aren't you in Xinxing?"

Sitting in the car, Ping He said with a smile, "We've finished fighting in Xinxingli, let's go to Xiajieyuli."

Yu Congrong ran to several cars, looked left and right, but couldn't see the rough man talking, so he could only shout: "Battle Commander Yang, I miss you so much!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and saw Battalion Commander Yang sitting in the car with a cigarette in his mouth. He was surprised and said, "Yo, you are here!"

Battalion Commander Yang, who was sitting in the car, threw the cigarette case over, "Mother, are you missing me?"

With a smile on Yu Congrong's dark face, Wu Qianli walked over and stepped on the steps of the boarding car. Battalion Commander Yang gave him a hand and pulled Wu Qianli up. Battalion Commander Yang took the cigarette dangling from his mouth and put it in his mouth, "Here we come!"

Battalion Commander Yang hummed, "The [-]st Marine Division of special code is going to run, and the headquarters ordered us to go day and night."

Wu Qianli smoked a cigarette and asked, "Are there enough shells?"

Battalion Commander Yang grinned: "The American devils are generous, they can have as many as they want, but they can be made with effort, hahahaha."

It seems that the US military's shells were not missing.

Lei Gong came over, smoking a dry cigarette, and happily introduced to Xia Yuan and Wu Wanli: "This is the battalion commander of the Pao Battalion, Lao Yang, just call him Battalion Commander."

Battalion Commander Yang looked at Xia Yuan and Wu Wanli beside Lei Gong, grinned and said, "Old Lei, bring two more recruits."

Wu Qianli yelled at Battalion Commander Yang, pointing at Xia Yuan: "Are you sure this is a recruit? Old Yang, don't be fooled. This is the second hero of our company. When the war is over, you just wait for it." Reward the whole army."

Battalion Commander Yang stared at Xia Yuan, then turned to look at Wu Qianli, "What's your name?"

Wu Qianli said: "Xia Yuan, did you read the teacher's award a while ago?"

Battalion Commander Yang shook his head: "I didn't see it!"

Wu Qianli stared: "Get lost!"

Battalion Commander Yang grinned, and turned to look at Xia Yuan: "How can you not see this, you don't know, some time ago when our division received its first all-division award, the soldiers in our artillery battalion screamed when they saw it, wishing they could carry it Go to the battlefield and kill the American devils with a gun, and get back with a reward from the whole division."

He said to Lei Gong: "Old Lei is fine. He brought out a great hero named Wu Qianli, and soon he will bring out a second hero. From now on, I might as well follow you and be a hero."

Lei Gong smoked a dry cigarette and looked at him fixedly: "No!"

Battalion Commander Yang's mouth was crooked: "Hey!"

He still wanted to say something, but another command came from a distance: "Assemble the artillery battalion! Get ready to go!"

"gather!"

Xia Yuan looked at the artillery camp, looked at the sky, and couldn't help but add another sentence: "The American devils are going to run, and now the planes are flying around in the sky every day, and you drive on the road, and you are often discovered by them. If you are discovered, They will definitely bomb you."

Wu Qianli was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Battalion Commander Yang.

Battalion Commander Yang said with a smile: "If he dares to come, we will shoot them down!"

Xia Yuan also stopped talking too much, too many words will lead to mistakes.

Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng knew Xia Yuan's words. The boy had been right along the way, but he was right several times, which was enough to catch Xia Yuan's attention.

Mei Sheng stepped forward and said, "This matter must not be sloppy. We have been almost bombed by US planes several times along the way, thanks to Xia Yuan!"

Looking back now, he still feels lingering fear.On the train, with so many supplies, if they were bombed by planes, the consequences would be disastrous.When they crossed the dry riverbed, they didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that speeding up would be enough. However, when they were making a decision, the US military plane came over. If it wasn't for Xia Yuan, when the US military plane flew over, they all Even exposed to the river bed.

Wu Qianli looked at so many vehicles and said, "You still have to be careful when marching. American artillery shells don't have eyes."

Battalion Commander Yang thought for a while, "Okay, I will pay attention on the road and keep the team scattered."

Wu Qianli patted Battalion Commander Yang on the shoulder, and returned the cigarette to him: "Old Yang, be careful."

Battalion Commander Yang grinned: "Get out!"

Watching Battalion Commander Yang's artillery battalion leave, Wu Qianli finished smoking his cigarette, threw it on the snow, turned his head and shouted: "Seventh company gather! Let's go!"

Since the direction of the Seventh Company is to pass through Xiajieyuli and intersect to the Shuimen Bridge, the route of travel is temporarily the same as that of the artillery battalion. There are cannons dragged behind the artillery battalion vehicle. Being able to walk on a relatively spacious road, the Seventh Company followed the artillery battalion for a while. In the early morning, the two teams separated.

The Artillery Battalion continued to advance along the main road in the direction of Xiajieyuli, while the Seventh Company moved in the direction of Xiajieyuli through the mountains.

However, the two teams were not far apart. Xia Yuan, who was walking in the team and stepping on the thick snow, sensed the roar of the US military aircraft from the sky through his keen hearing. Xia Yuan immediately shouted: "US aircraft!! Hurry up!" Concealment!! U.S. military aircraft!!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company were all heading forward against the wind and snow with their heads hooked. They were obviously stunned when they heard Xia Yuan's voice. After listening carefully, they didn't hear the sound of the plane in the sky, but the battle on 27 was over, and Lei Gong was standing beside Xia Yuan. He has seen this kid's terrifying hearing with his own eyes. He first kicked the soldiers in the artillery platoon beside him, and then cursed at the top of his voice:

"Mother Dut is so stupid! I didn't hear the plane coming! Hurry up and find a cover!!"

Being scolded by Lei Gong, the soldiers of the Seventh Company rushed to find cover.

Just two or three seconds after Lei Gong's words fell, the roar of US military aircraft came from the clearer sky in the distance. It was very small, like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

The faces of the soldiers of the Seventh Company all changed drastically, and their movements became quicker.

Soon, three formations of US military aircraft, four in each formation, appeared in the distant sky.

Wu Qianli's pupils shrank all of a sudden, and immediately shouted: "Enemy plane! Spread out! Spread out!"

"Each platoon takes the squad as the unit, find a bunker for yourself! Spread out! Spread out!"

Fortunately, with Xia Yuan's reminder and Lei Gong's urging earlier, the soldiers of the [-]th company basically dispersed, and the roar of the US military aircraft continued to grow louder and echoed in the valley from far to near.

above the sky.

"I found a small local army on the way, ten kilometers away from the designated target, and applied for an attack order! over (end)!"

"Save ammo, machine gun fire along the way!"

"Roger (received)!"

"Squadron, prepare for regular strafing! Execute the mission!"

The aircraft formation began to dive, and the roar of the fighter planes echoed in the valley, like a huge stone, making everyone breathless.Xia Yuan faced the dive of the U.S. aircraft formation, hid behind the bunker, the shadow of the U.S. aircraft was reflected in his brown pupils, and he could even see the pilot of the U.S. aircraft.

They're going to shoot!

There was only one voice in Xia Yuan's mind. He grabbed the big eight grains, stared at the plane in the sky with his face up, and fired eight shots at the US military plane. The bullets hit the fuselage of the US military plane. It penetrated the cover and shocked the pilot of the plane.

"Oh! Shit!! He almost hit me! Fuck! Fuck!"

The machine guns of the U.S. aircraft shot out red chains of fire, leaving a long crater on the snow, exposing the frozen soil on the ground. Pierce through, leaving huge craters one after another, and these craters are connected together like a black chain.

The strafing by the U.S. planes was still going on, and Wu Wanli was held down by Lei Gong on a backslope, saying: "When you see a U.S. plane, remember to go to the backslope, toward the direction of the plane, we hide behind the backslope, the U.S. planes It's hard to shoot us, remember?"

Wu Wanli held the gun and nodded heavily.

The U.S. plane only strafed for one round without even bombing, so it raised its fuselage and flew in the direction of the artillery battalion.

Xia Yuan stood up and looked at the US military plane with a gun in his hand, his eyes were cold.

They haven't been shot down, but sooner or later they will be shot down!

"Count the wounded on the spot!"

"Three shifts in a row are fine!"

"Class five is fine!"

"Second row and first shift are fine!"

"."

The soldiers still had lingering fears as they watched the plane flying away.

Wu Qianli collected himself, turned to look at the soldiers, and then at the sky.

"Company commander, their direction is the direction of the artillery battalion."

Xia Yuan stared at the direction of the plane and shouted.

Wu Qianli blew the whistle of the Osprey, and the sound of the whistle resounded all around along with the sound of the engine of the U.S. aircraft. He shouted: "The enemy plane is heading towards the artillery battalion, support the artillery battalion immediately!"

In the direction of the artillery battalion, after parting ways with the Seventh Company, Battalion Commander Yang ordered the troops to disperse and not to follow so closely.

He looked up at the sky, still thinking that the American planes were unlikely to return.

However, in the next second, the roar of US military aircraft engines came from the sky, and more than ten US military aircraft could be clearly seen lined up in a 'herringbone' pattern in the distant sky, thinking of their direction.

The soldier sitting on the roof was the first to notice it, and he immediately slammed on the door, "Battalion Commander!! U.S. Aircraft! U.S. Aircraft!"

Battalion Commander Yang was shocked, and quickly poked his head out of the car door to look at the rear, his pupils shrank: "Spread and cover! Scatter and cover!"

"Disperse and conceal! Protect the equipment on the vehicle!"

"Give way to the cars! Make way to the cars!"

Fortunately, there was a reminder from the Seventh Company earlier that the team of the artillery battalion was stretched and loose, and the distance between the artillery and the artillery was tens of meters away. After the yell of the password passer, the soldiers of the artillery battalion quickly spread out to both sides, looking for cover one after another.

At the same time, the car accelerated to avoid the bombing of the US artillery.

The shells dropped by the US military aircraft came from the sky, and accompanied by the sharp whistling of the shells when they fell, followed by the ground, the ground began to take position. The soil exploded by the shells was rolled up several feet high. Dozens of bombs were dropped, directly blocking the path of the artillery battalion and all surrounding areas.

The shells kept falling, and the whole world seemed to be falling into the end of the world. The sharp and piercing whistling in the sky was accompanied by the roar of the plane, and at the same time, there was the loud sound of the shells exploding, and the sound of the soil rolling up. Find cover to avoid.

There were bombardments everywhere, the blood of the soldiers in the artillery battalion stained the ground and soaked the soil, two or three cannons were destroyed, the truck was hit by the shells, ignited the shells on the car, and exploded instantly, leaving behind The empty frame of a car, several fighters were killed.

The bombing lasted only 1 minute. Because the artillery battalion was too loose, it was a long time higher than the planned bombing. The bombing plan formulated by the US military aircraft was to hit several targets of the Volunteer Army, and each target had a fixed bombing After the amount of bombs dropped by the artillery battalion was completed, they went to another target.

The U.S. military plane flew away, leaving behind bomb craters and overturned cars.

Battalion Commander Yang stood in the car and shouted: "How many cannons are left?"

"In the camp, there are three heavy artillery left! Six mortars!"

Battalion Commander Yang stood in the car, swearing: "I went to the gang of American devils in Te Niang. I don't feel sorry for my guns. I just took ten guns and left three for me!"

The seventh interspersed company appeared on the top of the mountain. Wu Qianli saw that the artillery battalion was almost destroyed after the bombing, and immediately led the team to run down the mountain: "Rescue the wounded! Rescue the wounded first!"

Coming to Commander Yang, looking at the angry Commander Yang, Wu Qianli took a breath and asked, "Old Yang, are you alright?"

"fine."

Battalion Commander Yang sat in the car with a distressed expression on his face, cursing and saying: "I haven't warmed up the cannon that Mrs. Gangte snatched, and there are only three guns left by Grandma Te's heavy cannon."

Wu Qianli exhaled: "It's good that people are fine, at least keep a kindling, if we don't remind you, your cannons will probably be finished. Besides, which of the cannons in your artillery battalion has not been snatched, three Enough heavy artillery, we only have a few mortars left in our artillery platoon."

Wu Qianli took out a pistol from his body and handed it to Battalion Commander Yang: "Snatch it again."

Mei Sheng had a bandage around one eye, and shouted with a gun in his hand, "It's from the Seventh Company!"

"Have!"

"Get the cannon for the artillery battalion!"

"Yes!"

From a distance, you can hear the shout of the orderly: "Continue to the south for three miles, and take down the American artillery position!"

With firm eyes, Xia Yuan quickly checked the weapons and ammunition on his body, and followed the team to the south.

Battalion Commander Yang shouted from behind: "Our artillery battalion, is it really a bitch to be raised by Qilian?"

The artillery battalion soldiers responded loudly: "No!"

"Leave one squad of soldiers pulling the cannon, and the rest will grab the cannon from me!"

"Yes!"
