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

And at this critical moment, the volunteer soldiers on the Triangle Mountain Heights were determined to die and began to burst out with extraordinary fighting power.

They managed to hold off the U.S. offensive, but the good times didn't last long. After the battle lasted for 20 minutes, the three companies led by He Yuzhu had less than half of their strength, and a large number of them had been killed.

The most fatal point is that they now have no way to take care of the American troops south of the high ground, and they are on the verge of failure.

There was fierce gunfire coming from the north of Triangle Mountain Heights, and even the sound of anti-aircraft machine guns could be heard.

“Da…Da…Da…Da…”

This made Colonel Laven, the commander of the 187st Battalion of the 1th Airborne Regiment, who had just landed on Triangle Mountain Heights, look as if he had seen a ghost.

With the support of anti-aircraft machine guns and the 358st Battalion of the 1th Regiment, the soldiers of the 187st Battalion of the 1th Airborne Regiment of the United States located on the Triangle Mountain Heights were in a miserable state.

The paratroopers who were still floating in the air were instantly shot into sieves by anti-aircraft machine guns.

The American soldiers who were still floating in the air at this time were all silently praying to God in their hearts, because they were now living targets and had no space or conditions to hide.

However, the paratroopers on the Triangle Mountain Heights were instantly suppressed and retreated little by little due to the increase in the number and firepower of the Volunteer Army.

At this time, the entire Triangle Mountain Heights was back under the control of the Volunteer Army.

Ten minutes later, the paratroopers from the 10st Battalion, 187th Airborne Regiment were wiped out and Colonel Lavin was killed.

Just as the two infantry battalions of the U.S. 7th Division were about to climb the hill, they were attacked fiercely by the 358st Battalion of the 1th Regiment and were beaten back again.

The battle lasted until 15 a.m. on the 1th. The U.S. military suffered a total of more than 1000 casualties, and the U.S. military's ace of aces, the 187st Battalion of the 1th Airborne Regiment, was completely wiped out.

120师358团伤亡了400余人，伤亡比达到了1:2.5，算是一个非常不错的战绩。

而同一天晚上，志愿军第15军29师麾下第85团1营镇守的狙击岭却和120师来了一个彻底相反的战果。

Since the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army did not realize that the US military had adopted an airborne regiment combat plan, at 12 o'clock in the morning, the 187nd Airborne Battalion under the 2th Airborne Regiment of the US Army climbed onto the Sniper Ridge Heights.

They found the exits of the tunnel as soon as possible and blew up two of them, causing the 2st Battalion of the 85th Regiment of the Chinese Volunteer Army to be trapped in the tunnel.

Thanks to the quick response of the 1st Battalion, the 2nd Airborne Battalion of the United States did not allow the tunnel to be captured. Instead, the enemy was firmly confined at the entrance of the tunnel.

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

At dawn the next day, the infantry battalion of the South Korean 2nd Division cooperated with the US 2nd Airborne Battalion to successfully occupy the Sniper Ridge Heights, which put the Volunteer Army's tactical layout in the Shangganling area into a passive situation.

Fortunately, the Triangle Mountain Heights are still under the control of our volunteer army.

Zhisi immediately telegraphed the commander of the 15th Army, Qin Wei, and ordered him to recapture the Sniper Ridge Heights at all costs.

As for the 120th Division where He Daming served for outstanding combat performance, they were commended and rewarded by the Volunteer Headquarters, and even some outstanding soldiers and grassroots officers were awarded the title of combat heroes.

Among them, He Daming's adopted nephew was awarded the title of Class 1 combat hero for his heroic command of the battle. As for Huang Huang who died for the country, he was directly awarded the title of Special Class Combat Hero posthumously.

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

At this time, the 15th Army's temporary headquarters in Daodedong,

Army Commander Qin Wei, 29th Division Commander Zhang Yang, 44th Division Commander Cui Da Gong, and 45th Division Commander Xiang Shao Zhi were all inside discussing how to retake the Sniper Ridge Heights that had been occupied by the U.S. Coalition Forces.

Army commander Qin Wei spoke first.

“Everyone, the Sniper Ridge Heights guarded by our army has now fallen into the hands of the United States Army.

Zhisi ordered our army to recapture this high ground from the hands of the US coalition forces at all costs. Does anyone have any good suggestions or ideas?"

At this time, the three division commanders present all hung their heads and did not answer.

Seeing that no one expressed their opinions, Army Commander Qin Wei could only call out their names one by one.

"Commander Zhang, you usually give the most opinions. Why didn't you say anything this time? At least give some constructive suggestions!"

Zhang Yang looked embarrassed when he heard what Army Commander Qin Wei said. He looked at the two division commanders beside him.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

"Commander, the reason we lost Sniper Ridge yesterday was mainly because we encountered a surprise attack by the U.S. airborne troops. This was something we could not have anticipated.

Now, two battalions of the South Korean 2nd Division under the US Joint Forces have been stationed on Sniper Ridge Heights. If we want to take it back, we will have to pay a heavy price, and I feel that the chances of taking it back again are too slim. "

When Army Commander Qin Wei heard Zhang Yang's answer, he was obviously very dissatisfied. He changed the subject.

"Commander Zhang, I know it is difficult to retake Sniper Ridge from the United States Army, but we cannot retreat because of these difficulties. This will only make our friendly forces laugh at us."

Qin Wei's words caused dissatisfaction among the 29th Division Commander Zhang Yang.

"General Qin, you keep saying that you want to retake Sniper Ridge Heights. I think you are just thinking about your military exploits and achievements. You don't have any constructive suggestions. You just want us to pay with our lives. What do you think of us? Tools? Anyway, I have no other choice. You can do whatever you want!"

Zhang Yang's words directly made Qin Wei's face turn red. He shouted sternly: "Zhang Yang, come back here! How dare you talk to your boss like that!"

Then Qin Wei looked at Gu Sheng, the military commissar,

"Political Commissar Gu, you have seen it all. Zhang Yang has no respect for military discipline and is committing crimes against his superiors. You must punish him severely. Commanders like him should be fired."

As the political commissar of the 15th Army, Gu Sheng actually had some complaints about some of the actions of the army commander Qin Wei. In his opinion, although the words said by the commander of the 29th Division Zhang Yang were excessive, they were not without reason.

The commander of the 44th Division, Cui Dake, who was also present, took the initiative to plead for Zhang Yang.

"Political Commissar Gu, Commander Zhang was just too excited for a moment. Let's go and persuade him."
