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

Chapter 84: A near miss, outstanding performances by He Yuzhu and Li Chunjiang

Seeing that the high ground was about to be lost, Li Chunjiang, the company commander of the 1st Company, became furious and started firing with his Czech light machine gun.

At this time, the 359rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment on the north side of Triangle Mountain Heights was pinned down by the 31nd Battalion led by Moses, the commander of the 2st Regiment of the US Army. This made Deputy Commander Xing, who was on the front line, very anxious.

Because he knew that the defenders on the Shanjiao Mountain Heights could not hold out for long at this critical moment.

The guard company led by He Yuzhu, the company commander of the 358th Regiment's guard company, successfully climbed the Shanjiaoshan Heights from the west and joined the defense of the heights.

With the addition of more than 100 soldiers from the guard company, the Polar Bear Regiment had just reached the high ground, but before they had time to cheer, they were suppressed by the volunteer soldiers in the guard company.

This time, the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Polar Bear Regiment never had the chance to climb the Shanjiao Mountain Heights.

The commander of the 1st Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Mellen, was killed by He Yuzhu.

As expected of a man with the aura of a protagonist, under the command of He Yuzhu, the American troops that attempted to attack Shanjiaoshan Heights were quickly repelled by them.

At this time, Moses, the commander of the 359st Regiment of the US Army, who was exchanging fire with the 3rd Battalion of the 31th Regiment, knew that a group of reinforcements had appeared on the Triangle Mountain Heights. He knew that this battle plan had failed. In order to reduce useless casualties, he had no choice but to issue a retreat order.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon. As the US troops retreated like a tide, the Triangle Mountain Heights were saved.

There were less than 359 people left alive from the two companies of the 2nd Battalion of the 10th Regiment who were originally guarding the high ground, which was enough to prove the fierceness of the battle.

Fortunately, this high ground is still in the hands of the Volunteer Army.

That night, the defense of Triangle Mountain Heights was changed, and the 358nd and 1rd Companies of the 2st Battalion of the 3th Regiment were stationed there.

At the 8th Division Command Post, 120 kilometers away from the Triangle Mountain Heights, the division commander He Daming held an impromptu summary meeting.

All cadres at the regimental level and above attended this campaign summary meeting.

Li Chunjiang, the company commander of the 359st Company of the 358nd Battalion of the th Regiment, and He Yuzhu, the company commander of the guard company of the th Regiment, who had outstanding performance in the battle, were invited to attend the meeting as an exception.

Under normal circumstances, company-level cadres like them would not be eligible to participate.

The chairman of the meeting was naturally the commander of the 120th Division, He Daming.

At this moment, there was no joy on He Daming's face, but instead he looked serious.

After he glanced at everyone, he slowly spoke.

"Everyone, first of all, regarding our 120th Division's successful defense of the Sanjiaoshan Heights today, Captain Li Chunjiang of the 2st Company of the 1nd Battalion and Captain He Yuzhu of the Guard Company have made invaluable contributions, and we should give them the credit.

If it weren't for their outstanding performance this time, we would have handed over the Triangle Mountain Heights that we were defending to the US military.

This will lead to a very serious consequence, which is that the US military will establish a bridgehead on the Triangle Mountain Heights, and if our army wants to retake it, it will have to pay several times or even dozens of times the price.

This is playing with the lives of our soldiers of the 120th Division, and will also make other combat units laugh at our 120th Division's incompetence.

You know, we are the main force of the 40th Army of the Ever-Victorious Army. If we lose our position, how can we face Commander Wen and other comrades in the 40th Army?"

When everyone heard what He Daming said, they all lowered their heads with expressionless faces.

Then He Daming changed the subject.

“In addition, I would like to criticize Comrade Li Ling, the head of the 359th Regiment, because it is because of your self-willed decisions and carelessness, not doing your own job but doing some unimportant things, that our 120th Division fell into trouble.

For this reason, our division command post decided to give Comrade Li Ling a serious personal warning.

Li Ling, do you have any objection? "

Facing the words of the teacher He Daming, Li Ling's expression was very complicated. He replied calmly,

"Commander, I have no objection to this punishment. This time it was indeed my personal misjudgment and underestimation of the enemy that led my division into a difficult situation..."

After Li Ling kept blaming himself, He Daming interrupted what he was about to say.

"Captain Li, I hope you can remember the lesson from this time. Remember that the U.S. military is not a paper tiger, nor is it a spoiled brawler. They won the battle based on their real achievements.

Therefore, no matter when, we must not underestimate the enemy, and must treat every battle with the attitude of a lion fighting a rabbit and with all our strength. "

Facing He Daming's earnest teachings, everyone present nodded in approval...

While the 120th Division was reviewing its actions, the commander of the 7th Division of the US Army, Poole, who was located south of Shanjiaoshan Heights, was losing his temper in his temporary command post.

"Colonel Moses, what's the situation with your Polar Bear Group? Are you a damn bear? I want you to be an eagle, not a dog.

You swore to me before that you would definitely take over Triangle Mountain Heights, but what happened? You still failed. You really disappoint me."

Moses, the commander of the 31st Regiment, immediately explained the reprimand from Division Commander Poole.

“Commander, it’s not that our Polar Bear Regiment is incapable, but some variables occurred during the battle.

We had already climbed up to the Triangle Hill and even suppressed the Volunteer Army troops guarding the hill, but a troop suddenly appeared out of nowhere and repelled us. Lieutenant Colonel Myron also died for his country. "

Poole didn't buy Moses's explanation. Instead, he said sternly, "Colonel Moses, I don't care what you are going through. I want the result! Do you understand the result of taking Triangle Mountain Heights?"

Moses nodded.

"Commander, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will reorganize the troops to attack Shanjiao Mountain Heights tomorrow and plant the flag of our Polar Bear Regiment on the heights."

After hearing what Moses said, Poole actually began to distrust him a little.

But he had no other options at the moment, so he could only try his luck.

"Colonel Moses, your regiment suffered heavy losses in today's siege, at least one-third of its troops were lost.

How about this, tomorrow I will let Colonel Morgan of the Second Regiment cooperate with you in the battle. I hope you won't let me down this time."
