Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

He Daming then assembled all the troops of the 120th Division and rushed to Wusheng Mountain to support the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army.

The 15th Army’s temporary command post located at Wusheng Mountain.

After learning of He Daming's arrival, Army Commander Qin Wei warmly entertained him.

"Commander He, you are finally here."

He Daming nodded.

"Commander Qin, what is the current situation in the Wushengshan area?"

In response to He Daming's question, Qin Wei slowly spoke.

"According to the news from the front line, the US Joint Forces have begun to stir, just as Zhisi worried, and are preparing to launch an attack on the Shangganling area where our troops are stationed.

To the south of our army is the South Korean 2nd Division, and to the southwest is the US 7th Division. Currently, the US Joint Forces are continuously sending reinforcements here.

I plan to entrust the defense of Triangle Mountain Heights to your 120th Division, while my 15th Army will focus on defending the Sniper Ridge and Wusheng Mountain areas.

"Master He, what do you think?"

When He Daming heard what Qin Wei said,

"Yes, Commander Qin. We will definitely defend Shanjiaoshan Highland. As long as we are on the highland, we will be there. If we die, we will die."

He Daming's determination even moved the 15th Army Commander Qin Wei.

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

After He Daming returned to the temporary command post of the 120th Division, he gathered all the cadres above the regimental level here and convened a temporary combat meeting.

At this time, the three commanders of the 1th, 120th and 358th Regiments of the 359th Division, as well as Political Commissar Zhang Tang, Chief of Staff Zheng Shi and others gathered in Tent 360.

He Daming looked around at everyone present and spoke first.

"Everyone, this time our 120th Division has received a very difficult mission, which I'm sure you all have heard of. That is to hold the Sanjiao Mountain Heights on the north side of Shangganling.

This triangular mountain highland is formed by the intersection of two mountain ridges and is subdivided into 12 small positions. Currently, two companies of the 15th Regiment under the 135th Army are guarding here. We will need to replace their guard at that time.

In addition, the area of ​​this Triangle Mountain Highland is not large and is not suitable for large-scale troop operations, so we plan to defend this highland in batches and companies as units."

As soon as He Daming finished speaking, Political Commissar Zhang Tang continued to add: "Everyone, let me add a few more points. This Shanjiao Mountain Highland is basically defenseless except for some low shrubs.

Fortunately, the 15th Army built many tunnels under the Triangle Mountain last year, and these tunnels were used by our army to avoid enemy aircraft bombing and artillery bombing. "

When everyone heard what Zhang Tang said, they all seemed to be thinking about something.

At this time, He Daming also took over Zhang Tang's words and continued,

"Then, captains, which of you will go first for this defense mission?"

In response to He Daming's question, Chu Yun, then head of the 358th Regiment, took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"Division Commander, let our 358th Regiment take on this task."

When He Daming heard that Chu Yun took the initiative to take on this task, his face twitched unconsciously. It was not because he felt sorry for the 358th Regiment, but because his cheap nephew He Yuzhu was the company commander of the guard company under the 358th Regiment.

If the 358th Regiment was allowed to take priority, wouldn't that be sending his cheap nephew into a fire pit? You know, the death rate at the Battle of Shangganling was very scary.

It's easy to guess that if He Yuzhu really went up, I would probably have to take his photo back to see my elder brother He Daqing.

Thinking of this, He Daming did not agree directly.

While he was hesitating, Li Ling, the head of the 359th Regiment, also expressed his opinion.

"Division Commander, let our 359th Regiment go first. We can't let the 358th Regiment take the lead every time. No matter what, we have to let us perform well."

Li Ling's words naturally touched He Daming's heart.

"Okay, then, Captain Li, your 359th Regiment will be responsible for the main defense of Triangle Mountain Heights."

After the meeting, everyone left the command post and began to busy themselves with mobilizing troops.

At this time, Political Commissar Zhang Tang looked at He Daming with a worried look on his face and whispered to him,

"Lao He, during the meeting just now, I noticed that your expression seemed different.

We have been through five major battles and fought so many fierce battles, but I have never seen you look so solemn.

Why, is the defense of the Battle of Shangganling this time so terrifying? "

He Daming sighed when he heard what Political Commissar Zhang Tang said.

"Old Zhang, to be honest, this battle seems to me to be more dangerous than any of the previous ones, because it is simply a positional defense battle, and there is no special strategy that can be used.

By the way, come with me to the Triangle Mountain Plateau to observe the terrain first."

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

At this time, the defense on Triangle Mountain Heights had been successfully changed.

驻守在这里的是359团1营2连和3营3连，一共两个连的兵力守在这12个阵地中，基本每个阵地都有一个排的兵力。

He Daming and Political Commissar Zhang Tang stood on the Sanjiao Mountain high ground, overlooking the entire Wusheng Mountain Range.

Since it is 10:6 in the afternoon of October th and close to dusk, the scenery here can be seen all around from the high ground of Triangle Mountain.

With just such a simple glance, He Daming knew that the Triangle Mountain Highlands were truly undefensible. Except for a few low shrubs, it was almost entirely bare.

The US Joint Forces only need to throw incendiary bombs and artillery shells here to cause heavy casualties.

After observing the terrain around the Triangle Mountain Highlands, under the leadership of Li Ling, commander of the 359th Regiment, He Daming and Zhang Tang directly entered the tunnel below the highlands.

The so-called tunnel is basically no different from an underground tunnel. After passing through the narrow entrance, there is a different world inside.

He Daming estimated that the entire tunnel was 1.6 meters high and about 2 meters wide, with a total of four tunnel entrances. Eight interconnected tunnels were located below the 8 positions, allowing them to provide support to every position at the first opportunity.

After carefully observing the tunnel, He Daming planned to leave. However, just as he was about to leave, he felt a palpitation. He could feel his heart pounding and was very uneasy.
