Dennis was attacked from two sides, and his position was breached. Dennis's deputy, Lieutenant Hannis, advocated evacuation. Dennis was a little hesitant, "Hannis, our mission is to secure the No. 5 area of the Qingchuan River to prevent the Qingchuan River defense line from being broken through by the Chinese."
, evacuating without authorization will result in a military court.”
Hannis argued, "Captain, we only have one company of troops, and the Chinese army has at least one battalion, which has also detoured to our side and rear. The Chinese army's offensive is rapid and violent, and the aircraft bombed several rounds, but they did not stop their attack. We do not have heavy weapons."
If we cooperate, the reinforcements will never arrive, and if the fight continues, the only way is to become prisoners."
What Hannis said was both an excuse and a truth. There were three companies of the Chinese Army responsible for attacking the No. 5 area of the Chongcheon River. The U.S. defender Dennis only had one company. Because it was a mountainous and hilly area, the U.S. tanks and armored vehicles could not be deployed. There were no
With the cooperation of tanks and armored vehicles, the combat effectiveness of the US military has plummeted.
Dennis gave the order helplessly, "Hannis, order the soldiers to evacuate their positions and go all the way north. Five kilometers away is the position of the 5th Infantry Regiment. We will be safe wherever we go."
Five kilometers away from the No. 5 area of the Chongchuan River is the defense area of the 5th Infantry Regiment of the 13th Division of the US Army. It only takes one hour for the 5th Infantry Regiment to rush to the No. 5 area of the Chongchuan River. However, the US military is a loose army.
Each unit has its own mission. Unless there is an order from the top, there is no obligation to rescue other units.
This is different from the Huaxia Army. The Huaxia Army will not give up a soldier or a wounded person. Each unit supports each other. If one side is in trouble, the other side will fight to the rescue. The lives of comrades are always higher than one's own.
Dennis fled to the north with dozens of defeated soldiers. Liu Santang ordered, "Platoon leader, tell the brothers to stop pursuing. We don't know which troop is on the hillside yet. Let's go over and have a look."
Liu Santang and Chen Jiushan came down from the top of the mountain. The battle on the hillside had ended. The corpses of American soldiers were lying on the hillside. Guns were scattered all over the hillside. There were also several American prisoners squatting on the ground with their hands raised. "A long row, look."
It looks like a big victory." Liu Santang said excitedly.
A young Chinese soldier in his twenties and seventies came to Liu Santang and Chen Jiushan. This Chinese soldier was of medium height, quick in movement, and slightly fat. Liu Santang recognized him as Qiu Mingliang, commander of the seventh company. Liu Santang was tall and good at singing.
Yes, he used to be the propaganda officer of the division. He was very famous in the division and had many suitors. Qiu Mingliang, commander of the seventh company, was one of them.
Qiu Mingliang's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Santang coming down from the top of the mountain. He hurried over, grabbed Liu Santang's hand, and said excitedly, "Santong, how could it be you? How did you end up here?"
Qiu Mingliang turned out to be the platoon leader of the 9th Company. Chen Jiushan and Hada Jiang were both Qiu Mingliang's soldiers. Chen Jiushan saluted Qiu Mingliang, "Hello, Company Commander Qiu, we ambushed a US military truck and learned about the No. 5 area of Qingchuan River."
When there was a battle, I rushed over and attacked the US troops from behind. I didn't expect that it was your 7th company that was fighting the US troops."
Qiu Mingliang waved his hand and said, "Not only our seventh company is here, but also the fifth and eighth companies. The commander is Han Shenzuo."
Qiu Mingliang asked strangely, "Santong, aren't your Ninth Company responsible for guarding the Qingchuan River Bridge? The Qingchuan River Bridge is thirty kilometers away from here. Why are you here?"
Liu Santang briefly introduced the situation and asked: "Seventh company commander, where is Chief of Staff Han? We want to see the leader."
Qiu Mingliang turned around, looked down, pointed down the hillside and said, "Where is it? The chief of staff is coming up."
The cadres of the D field army were all young. The regiment chief of staff, Han Jiangde, was in his early thirties, tall and thin, and walked quickly to the top of the mountain. Liu Santang and Chen Jiushan hurriedly ran forward and came to Han Jiangde. They stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the commander, nine
Company deputy instructor Liu Santang and platoon leader Chen Jiushan were ordered to arrive and ask for instructions from the commander."
Han Jiangde looked at Liu Santang in surprise and patted Chen Jiushan on the shoulder, "Santong, Chen Jiushan, why are you here? Yesterday Feng Ren reported that you were separated by the US military on the east side of the Qingchuan River Bridge. Your life or death is unknown. We are worried
It’s endless.”
After listening to Liu Santang's report, Chief of Staff Han Jiangde nodded with satisfaction and said approvingly, "Santong, Jiu Shan, you have done a good job. Our D Field Army soldiers should have the ability to fight independently."
Qiu Mingliang rolled his eyes and asked Han Jiangde for instructions, "Chief of Staff, our 7th Company has lost a lot of troops in this attack. It is 30 kilometers away from the Qingchuan River Bridge. It is difficult to return to the construction. I suggest that the 9th Company and 1st Platoon temporarily return to the 7th Company."
, please approve it from the Chief of Staff.”
Qiu Ming knew in his conscience that the platoon of the Ninth Company had a strong fighting capacity. Chen Jiushan and Ha Dajiang were both famous fighting heroes. They belonged to the Seventh Company, and the Seventh Company would soon become the first-class main company in the regiment.
As soon as Qiu Mingliang finished speaking, Liu Santang immediately retorted loudly, "Hey, Qiu Mingliang! Have you heard the story of Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf? We supported you and helped you take down the American positions, but you still want to annex us
, how shameless!”
In response to Liu Santang's angry abuse, Qiu Mingliang was calm and replied with a smile, "Santong, you have only been in Jiulian for a few days, but you don't know that Feng Ren is not a gentleman, and he has done such clever things.
."
Han Jiangde waved his hand and said, "Seventh company commander, that Feng Ren is a famous scoundrel and stalker in the regiment. He is a person that even the commander and political commissar dare not provoke. If you dare to detain his people, he will not get along with you."
We tried our best. Besides, it was indeed Santong and the others who helped us. Otherwise, we would not have captured the American position so quickly, especially since the two artillery shells were accurately fired and hit two American heavy machine guns one after another. We must thank you very much.
Santong and a few others."
Han Jiangde asked, "Santong, whoever shelled the US heavy machine gun should be rewarded for meritorious service. Although we have mortars and grenade launchers, they are not precise and accurate in use, and a lot of ammunition was wasted."
Liu Santang replied, "The person who bombarded the US heavy machine gun was Lu Chen, the clerk of the Ninth Company. He was a liberation fighter and was captured by us at Zhennanguan. Lu Chen was an all-rounder. He had received training from the US military in India. He used Pakistan a few days ago.
Zuka rockets destroyed two US armored vehicles."
Han Jiangde nodded and said to Qiu Mingliang, "Captain Seventh Company, the Ninth Company is the sharp knife company of our regiment. It is not for nothing. Look at the people under Feng Ren. There is someone like Lu Chen who destroyed a US armored vehicle.
Do you still remember that at Zhennanguan, you felt that Lu Chen was stubborn, difficult to educate, pushy and unwilling to take in others?"
Han Jiangde looked ashamed and stood at attention and replied, "What the chief of staff taught me is that I must learn from the ninth company commander."
