Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

Chapter 34: A desperate battle on the "Triangle Mountain" high ground, and the guard compa

Jiang Chao, commander of the 113th Division, dispatched reinforcements to support the front line every day. All the reconnaissance companies, baggage trains, reserve troops, and service soldiers who could be sent were sent out, leaving only the cadres in their command post.

On the 25th of the same month, the commander of the 8th Army, Van Fleet, arrived at the headquarters of the US 9th Army. Considering that the US 7th Division had suffered heavy casualties, he withdrew it from the battlefield and let the South Korean Army's 1st Division and 6th Division replace the US 7th Division to participate in the Battle of Shangganling and fight these stubborn volunteers with wisdom and courage.

After learning of the U.S. military's combat order, Kim Mu-yong, commander of the South Korean 1st Division, secretly cursed the U.S. military. He knew that the U.S. military was using their South Korean troops as cannon fodder. However, although he was dissatisfied with the United States as his big daddy, he still carried out the order.

On the evening of the 25th, Jin Wuyong concentrated his forces and launched a full-scale attack on the two heights of "Triangle Mountain" and "Sniper Ridge".

Although the South Korean troops are not as strong as the US troops, their methods and practices are much more cruel than those of the US troops.

They chose to attack the tunnel head-on with mortars at the very beginning, and threw a large number of poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs into the tunnel. They even placed barbed wire and mines at the exit of the tunnel. They simply used every possible means.

The South Korean 2nd Division took only one day to blow up a small half of the Volunteer Army's No. 1 Tunnel, which was a major achievement that the US military had not achieved in the past week.

The guard company holding out in the tunnel suffered heavy losses. After holding out for five days, they are now extremely short of water and food, and are fighting the enemy with only their strong will.

Because the enemy's fire blockade was too fierce, logistical supplies could not be delivered at all. On the evening of the 28th, He Yuzhu, who was still in Tunnel No. 2, saw that his soldiers could not hold on any longer, so he decided to break out at night and transfer everyone to Tunnel No. , where there were some reserve supplies.

That night, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, He Yuzhu and a group of soldiers from the guard company successfully broke through to Tunnel No. 2. However, the situation in Tunnel No. 2 was much worse than He Yuzhu had imagined, and they were also short of water and food.

For a time, the morale of the guard company dropped to the lowest point. In order to boost morale, He Yuzhu found an empty tunnel entrance, took out the dry food and water that had been prepared in advance in the system space, lied that he had found them, and distributed them to the surviving guard company soldiers.

These soldiers had no time to doubt the logic behind the appearance of these things. They all ate and drank voraciously.

He Yuzhu also ate the roasted potato with a mouthful of water.

The morale of the entire guard company, which had been low, gradually improved.

From the 21st to now, their guard company, in coordination with the tunnel troops, has been dispatched a total of 150 times, with less than 5 failures, killing a total of 1000 enemies, greatly delaying the enemy's offensive and ensuring the safety of the "Triangle Mountain" high ground, keeping it under the control of the Volunteer Army.

Unfortunately, on the evening of the 29th, the "Sniper Ridge" heights were finally occupied by the US Joint Forces.

At noon on the 30th of the same month, Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army, directly dispatched the Katyusha Artillery Regiment and more than 100 artillery pieces to bombard the Sniper Ridge Heights.

As the saying goes, when you are poor, you should use precision strikes, and when you are rich, you should use strategic cleanup.

This time Liang Xingchu did not save ammunition and directly carried out a strategic cleanup of the high ground.

随后便派遣12军31师所在的91团8连,9连,再次占领“阻击岭”高地。

Over the next week, South Korea continued to attack the "Triangle Mountain" and "Sniper Ridge" heights.

The guard company originally stationed at Triangle Mountain has been reduced from more than 200 people to only more than 20 people after half a month of perseverance, and the casualty rate has reached an astonishing 10:1!

On November 11, the South Korean Army's 5nd Division once again dispatched two companies of troops to the "Triangle Mountain" heights.

He Yuzhu and more than 20 other soldiers formed a trapezoidal shape, with groups of three launching an attack on the South Korean soldiers who were coming head-on from the high ground.

At this time, there was no intact area on the "Triangle Mountain" high ground. It was all plowed by artillery shells and bombs. There was nothing else around except shell casings, fragments and corpses. The originally black soil had turned dark brown, and it was filled with the blood of the soldiers.

The bulletproof vest on He Yuzhu was already in tatters. If it weren't for this protective weapon, he would have been killed long ago.

Due to their small numbers and limited firepower, the suicide squads of two companies of the South Korean army quickly rushed to the high ground.

The remaining soldiers of the guard company emptied their magazines one after another and faced the enemy troops who had already climbed onto the high ground.

He Yuzhu and others simply threw their carbines aside and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

Just as he was about to stand up and fight these South Korean troops, a South Korean soldier quietly approached behind He Yuzhu and prepared to shoot him in the back.

At this critical moment, Liu Bin, the platoon leader who was next to He Yuzhu, stood directly behind He Yuzhu.

"Bang............"

After a gunshot, He Yuzhu saw Liu Bin fell to the ground in order to save him. His eyes turned red. He immediately took out a dagger from his arms and threw it at the South Korean soldier, hitting him in the chest.

He Yuzhu quickly picked up Liu Bin from the ground, his face full of concern.

"Liu Bin, are you okay? Why are you so stupid? Why did you save me?"

Liu Bin's face was pale at this time, and blood was still oozing out of the wound. He was breathing out more than breathing in. In his dying moments, he tightly grasped He Yuzhu's hand, using up his last bit of strength.

"Captain, I have no regrets. You must live well. This is mine............"

Before he could finish his words, Liu Bin suddenly fell dead with his head tilted.

He Yuzhu looked at the photo that Liu Bin was holding tightly in his right hand and knew that it was his daughter. He immediately assured him in front of his body that

"Liu Bin, from now on, your daughter is my daughter. I owe you a life. I will definitely live and take good care of your family after returning home."

......................

At this time, the entire position was silent, with only sporadic gunshots. Except for He Yuzhu, no guard company soldier could be seen standing. There were rustling sounds coming from below the high ground, all of which were South Korean soldiers heading towards the high ground.
