In 1952, after experiencing many battles, the Volunteer Army had taken the initiative in ground operations on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea. In order to gain momentum for the campaign and seize the benefits on the negotiating table, the United Nations Army decided to make a last ditch effort in the Battle of Shangganling. On October 14,“United Nations Forces” launched a fierce attack on the Battle of Shangganling.

The volunteer soldiers tenaciously resisted the attack of the United Nations troops and repeatedly fought for positions; they moved into the tunnels and continued to fight in an extremely difficult environment after the war; they resolutely counterattacked and continuously consolidated their positions in the decisive stage. After 43 days of fighting, the volunteer soldiers finally won the victory..This battle demonstrated China's national and military power. In the following decades, no Western country dared to easily provoke China.

Episode 1

The date of April 22, 1851 obviously does not match the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. This should be an error. We will correct it to the actual time background of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.Assuming that the correct date is a certain month and day in 1951, the following is the rewritten content:

In the spring of 1951, the smoke of the fifth battle to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea had not yet cleared. After a month of fierce fighting, the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army was ordered to move to the Jinhua area for rest and recuperation.At the same time, the Volunteer Army Headquarters issued a notification to all corps and military headquarters.However, during the transfer, the Fifteenth Army unfortunately encountered a U.S. air strike. The bombing resulted in more than ten people being seriously injured, more than twenty people slightly injured, and some supplies and vehicles were blown up.

Faced with the sudden attack, Chief of Staff Duan Xianfeng wanted to counterattack with machine guns, but the enemy aircraft was too far away and very fast. In addition, the equipment gap between the two sides was huge, so the counterattack failed.Subsequently, all officers and soldiers acted quickly to move out the damaged materials, and under the leadership of Army Commander Qin Jiwei, pushed the scrapped vehicles down the cliff and cleared the road.Immediately afterwards, Qin Jiwei convened an emergency meeting of staff to discuss follow-up action plans.

At this time, the U.S. military had taken the opportunity to break through the junction of the Volunteer Army's 3rd Corps and the 19th Corps, and drove straight in. It advanced hundreds of kilometers in just three days, causing the central front to fall into chaos and posing a serious threat to the Eastern Front Corps..Faced with this severe situation, while Ma Gang and others were considering retreat, Duan Xianfeng put forward the suggestion of fighting a blocking battle in Shibaura.He believed that if the Fifteenth Army retreated, the Eastern Front Corps would be passive.Qin Jiwei deeply agrees with this.

In the Kongsi Cave where the Volunteer Army Headquarters is located, Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai ordered Deng Hua to send a telegram to Qin Jiwei, requesting the 15th Army to garrison Zhipuri and hold off the enemy for seven days.Almost at the same time, Chief of Staff Zhang Yunyu also brought a telegram from Peng Dehuai, which made Qin Jiwei even more excited.He immediately decided that even if only the last person was left, he would hold on for more than ten days and call back to the headquarters for confirmation.

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the 15th Army quickly prepared for battle.The third company commander Feng Baisheng was full of expectations for the upcoming battle, while Qin Jiwei promptly corrected his previous wrong approach of counterattacking enemy planes, emphasizing that he should wait for the enemy planes to fly at low altitude before shooting.

Hu Mancang, the instructor of the Eighth Company, inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers with his short and powerful words. Qin Jiwei was confident in the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Company and handed over important tasks to them.Hu Mancang accepted the task with confidence and introduced Chai Yunzhen, the seventh squad leader with outstanding marksmanship, as the leading machine gunner.

The Battle of Shibauri Park Dalbong broke out immediately, but the battle quickly reached a stalemate.The U.S. military relied on its road advantages and powerful reinforcements to put tremendous pressure on the Lao Eighth Company.Duan Xianfeng proposed to learn from Ren Qiaoji's combat experience to deal with it, and took the initiative to invite Ying to join the battle.After getting approval, he carefully deployed the combat plan and decided to divide his troops into two groups: one group to reinforce Park Dalfeng's Eighth Company, and the other group to block the 215th and other highlands on Park Dalfeng's flank to reduce the pressure on the Eighth Company.

Although Feng Baisheng was initially dubious about Duan Xianfeng's plan, after adding a platoon for support, he chose to trust and execute the order.Qin Jiwei also adjusted his deployment in time according to changes in the battle situation, and ordered Duan Xianfeng to leave a platoon of troops to guard Highland 327, and the remaining troops to fully reinforce Park Dafeng.

In the fierce battle, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.Chai Yunzhen died heroically to protect Hu Mancang, but the Lao Eighth Company finally managed to hold on for ten days with its strong will and firm belief.Their heroic resistance not only shattered the US military's attempt to cut off the Volunteer Army on the Eastern Front, but also provided a strong guarantee for the strategic mission of the large force and made a huge contribution to the overall retreat and recuperation of the Volunteer Army.

Subsequently, “United Nations Forces” began negotiations with us.Our delegation consisted of Deputy Commander Deng Hua, Chief of Staff Jie Fang and others. North Korea also sent representatives such as Nan Ri and Zhang Pingshan.We insist on a ceasefire using the 38th Parallel as the military demarcation line, and require the other side to withdraw all peripheral troops in a timely manner.However, the other party showed no sincerity and kept making unreasonable demands.

The entourage Mo Yuan analyzed the opponent's character traits by sketching the portrait of the US Navy vice admiral and deduced his intention to delay the negotiation.Faced with the opponent's machinations, Li Kenong, the head of the North Korea-China negotiating delegation, was not afraid. He knew that the Chinese people have thousands of years of historical and cultural heritage and a persevering national spirit.He ordered members of the delegation to remain calm and patient in a battle of wits and courage with the United States.

On December 28 of the same year, the armistice negotiations were terminated due to the provocation and trouble caused by the United States in the negotiation zone.In March 1952, Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai once again emphasized the importance of battlefield struggle at the Volunteer Army Headquarters in Hicang.He pointed out that the US military's ambition cannot be solved by negotiation alone.He ordered Qin Jiwei to lead the 15th Army to the Five Sacred Mountains, Dongfang Mountain, and Douliufeng areas to take over the defense tasks of the 26th Army. He especially emphasized that the Five Sacred Mountains are an important gateway to central Korea, and if they fail, the consequences will be disastrous.

Episode 2

Qin Jiwei returned from inspecting the Five Sacred Mountains and meditated alone in the room where the 15th Army was stationed for three days.Recalling the swearing-in ceremony, he encouraged all the soldiers in the army to fight bravely in the face of the US-led coalition, and would rather be famous on the martyrs' monument than to be named in the hero list.

After careful consideration, Qin Jiwei proposed a strategic plan with active defense and protracted operations as the core, and submitted it to the Military Party Committee for review.The plan emphasized the transformation of battlefield fortifications, the construction of a solid defense line based on tunnels, and the implementation of large-scale fortification operations, aiming to build an insurmountable barrier and resolutely resist enemy attacks.

In Shaliyuan, the artillery regiment of the 229th Division bravely fought against a group of US bombers and successfully shot down a B26 bomber. Unfortunately, the pilot was the son of Van Fleet, commander of the US Eighth Army.This incident deeply saddened Van Fleet, and soldier Bell made a drunken gaffe and belittled Van Fleet, and was severely punished by his superiors as a warning to others.

When the 15th Army and the 26th Army were changing defenses, a reconnaissance team from the 26th Army failed to withdraw in time because the enemy strengthened its defense on Jixiong Mountain.Although Qin Jiwei is busy with official duties, he still cares about the missing team.The team was ambushed behind enemy lines, and only the captain Zheng Guoliang and the soldier Shuangxi survived.In order to protect Shuangxi, Zheng Guoliang died heroically.

In order to obtain enemy intelligence, Qin Jiwei sent staff officer Duan Xianfeng to form a capture team and went to the Eighth Company to teach tactics.At first, the soldiers expressed doubts about Duan Xianfeng's qualifications, but after Duan Xianfeng proved his strength, they successfully formed an elite team composed of Luo Wanxiang, Yun Guichuan, Sun Yaozu and Xu Xiao, and recruited Fan Yuanbao, who was good at tree climbing, asWhistle.

During an operation, the capture team successfully captured a “tongue”, but accidentally entered an enemy minefield on the way back.At a critical moment, a mysterious gunman detonates a landmine, giving the team a chance to escape.Afterwards, Duan Xianfeng discovered that the “tongue” was actually Shuangxi, a member of the missing 26th Army reconnaissance team. Under the misunderstanding, he quickly took action to protect Shuangxi.

Regarding this accident, Qin Jiwei treated Duan Xianfeng and Hu Mancang leniently.At the same time, Qin Jiwei conducted an in-depth study of Van Fleet and discovered that he loves rugby.So, he organized a football game to let the soldiers experience the strength and tactical characteristics of the US military.During the competition, everyone deeply realized the cruelty and efficiency of the US military's front-line push tactics. They realized that when strength and speed do not dominate, they must rely on strong will and solid fortifications to consume and tire the enemy and find opportunities to counterattack.

Episode 3

In May 1952, William Harrison served as the chief representative of the United Nations negotiating delegation. However, the United States took a firm stance on the prisoner of war issue and refused to explore any option other than voluntary repatriation, causing the negotiations to fall into an unprecedented dilemma.Especially on the 7th of that month, the negotiations came to a complete standstill.At the same time, the United Nations forces tried to weaken the morale of our troops on the front line through psychological tactics such as broadcasting, but they encountered a determined counterattack by the volunteer troops.

Chen Fenglou, a soldier of the 1st Company of the 15th Army, was furious about this and was eager to destroy the enemy with his own hands. However, the company commander Pi Lianlian rationally pointed out that the current priority is to consolidate the defenses.However, impulsively, Chen Fenglou still shot and killed an American soldier, and then continued to attack with cold guns and artillery, making the US 7th Division miserable.

Facing the well-equipped enemy forces, General Qin Jiwei made a decisive decision and asked the troops to build large-scale tunnels in the Battle of Shangganling area to strengthen defenses.However, many challenges were encountered during implementation.In order to solve the ideological concerns of the soldiers, Chief of Staff Zhang Yunyu cleverly proposed a tunnel digging competition between the Eighth Company and the First Company, which inspired both parties to work with unprecedented enthusiasm and devote themselves to tunnel construction.

In order to improve efficiency, Duan Xianfeng tried to introduce a new method of digging tunnels with explosives in the Eighth Company.Driven by this innovative technology, the Eighth Company was expected to win the competition, but unfortunately, a sudden bombing by US military enemy planes destroyed the newly completed tunnel, causing them to regrettably lose the victory.

Afterwards, Duan Xianfeng reported the situation to General Qin Jiwei, and Hu Mancang also admitted that he was too eager to advance and ignored the stability of the tunnel.At Qin Jiwei's initiative, the soldiers of the Old Eighth Company united as one and took a group photo full of optimism and resilience.

After unremitting efforts, the tunnel project was finally completed successfully, with complete internal facilities, including a medical room, storage room, weapons and ammunition depot, and a concealed cooking method.During the inspection by Wang Jinshan, deputy commander of the Third Corps, an unexploded aerial bomb fell on the Eighth Company position during the US military bombing.With his outstanding military skills, Duan Xianfeng successfully eliminated this time bomb and won high praise from Wang Jinshan.

After more than five months of hard work and construction, the 15th Army dug 325 tunnels more than 20,000 meters long in the defense area, as well as tens of thousands of meters of deer villages, trenches, traffic trenches and other defense facilities to build aA solid defense system with tunnels as the core was built, and it was connected with the tunnels of neighboring troops to form an “Underground Great Wall” across the defense zone.

After learning that the outpost was damaged, Cui Jiangong, commander of the 45th Division of the 15th Army, quickly ordered Liu Xiangyang, director of the Intelligence Division, to form a second echelon and rush up the mountain to rebuild the observation post.In view of the urgent task and the need for foreign language talents, intelligence staff officer Du Wenjin took the initiative to ask Ying to join.But on the way up the mountain, they encountered US military bombing of our military's communication lines.Although Duan Xianfeng organized people to avoid danger in advance, there were still Korean people who did not understand the language and ventured out. Du Wenjin's comrade unfortunately died during the rescue process. Despite all efforts, his life could not be saved.

In 1952, during the U.S. presidential election, the U.S. military's repeated defeats on the Korean battlefield became a powerful weapon for Eisenhower to attack Truman.He promised the American people that once elected president, he would immediately end the Korean War.At the same time, the new deployment of the US military on the front line aroused the vigilance of the Volunteer Army Command. After careful discussions, generals such as Deng Hua, Yang Dezhi, and Hong Xuezhi decided to speed up the formulation of a counterattack plan.

In October of the same year, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai approved the counterattack plan based on frontline battle reports, and emphasized the need to make full use of the advantages of tunnels to ensure the safety of the troops.General Qin Jiwei took the initiative to propose to Wang Jinshan a surprise attack on Highland 391 in view of the enemy's possible tactics of seizing the east and attacking the west, and received Wang Jinshan's firm support.

Episode 4

On October 8, 1952, China and the United Nations resumed negotiations in Panmunjom.Chinese representative Deng Hua pointed out that there were inconsistencies in the lists of prisoners of war submitted three times previously, while the United States insisted that it had followed the principle of voluntary repatriation and denied any abuse of prisoners of war.Faced with the sufficient evidence presented by China, the United States seemed quite embarrassed, which ultimately led to the complete breakdown of the negotiations.Mo Yuan felt that negotiations were hopeless and took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the front line to investigate the situation in the prisoner of war camp. This request was approved by Li Kenong.

At the same time, Duan Xianfeng won the favor of his superiors because of his outstanding performance. The Third Corps planned to transfer him to staff officer and conducted an internal review in advance.However, Duan Xianfeng yearned for front-line combat. Although he knew that obeying orders was his bounden duty, he still decided to express his wishes to General Qin Jiwei in person.

At this time, Qin Jiwei was troubled by a fault in an American-made car. Duan Xianfeng took the initiative to try to repair it and successfully solved the problem.Taking this opportunity, Duan Xianfeng expressed to Qin Jiwei his strong desire to stay in the 15th Army and go to the front line to train in person.Qin Jiwei recalled the first time he met Duan Xianfeng at the Nanjing Military Academy. At that time, he was still an assistant teacher, and his talented explanation of the Normandy landing was impressive.Later, Duan Xianfeng even volunteered to join the Fifteenth Army. His determination to serve the country with his own life deeply moved Qin Jiwei, and he was eventually able to accompany the army to North Korea.

Faced with the Corps' intention to transfer Duan Xianfeng, Qin Jiwei was also reluctant to leave, so he asked him to write a letter of invitation and temporarily stay in the 15th Army in the name of a guard company.After the negotiation broke down, Qin Jiwei decided to implement the plan to attack Highland 391, and summoned Meng Jianmin to select elite soldiers and generals, vowing to seize the high ground in one fell swoop.

While hiding in the position, four hundred soldiers came under heavy enemy artillery fire.Among them, Qiu Shaoyun showed extraordinary heroism after his disguise was ignited. In order not to expose his comrades and his victory in the battle, he endured severe pain until he died.

The Fifteenth Army's continued small-force sorties overwhelmed the United Nations forces.Van Fleet discovered that there was only one reinforced Chinese company stationed at Highland 598 (597.9), and he confidently claimed that he could break through the defense line within five days.And the showdown operation he planned was also approved by the coalition commander Clark.

On the other hand, the Volunteer Army Headquarters received intelligence and learned that the US 45th Division was in Japan and the 1st Cavalry Division was conducting amphibious landing training in Tokyo, and immediately ordered the 15th Army to pay close attention to the enemy situation opposite the Five Sacred Mountains.Qin Jiwei kept in mind Peng Dehuai's instructions: Once the Five Sacred Mountains are lost, there will be no danger to defend them; if the US military lands in Yuanshan, the Five Sacred Mountains will become their main target.

For this reason, Qin Jiwei sent Duan Xianfeng to the front line of the Five Sacred Mountains to conduct reconnaissance, accompanied by Shuangxi and Han Xiaomao.The three of them carefully observed the movements of the US military, recorded the number of reinforcements and equipment, and reported to Qin Jiwei the possible Normandy landing-style tactics adopted by the US military.Qin Jiwei realized that he must ensure that the troops in the two mountains were deployed stably and create momentum to confuse the enemy.He ordered tank battalions and car formations to the Battle of Shangganling area as a bluff.However, the smoke bombs launched by Van Fleet made it difficult for the 15th Army to determine the direction of its main attack. A fierce battle was about to begin in a battle of wits and courage between the generals of both sides.

Episode 5

Company Commander Tom, who was in the 31st United Nations Regiment, held deep contempt for Asian soldiers, especially South Korean soldiers who frequently beat and scolded them and even accused them of stealing lighters for no reason.At this time, Li Damin, the staff officer of the South Korean military camp, stepped forward and stopped Tom's behavior. He had already seen the true face of the US military and finally decided to surrender to the 45th Division of the 15th Army.

Li Damin's intelligence informed the Fifteenth Army that the United Nations planned to launch a major operation in the direction of the Battle of Shangganling.However, this was precisely Van Fleet's trick. He intended to make the Volunteer Army mistakenly think that the Battle of Shangganling was the main direction of attack through the strategy of attacking in the east and attack in the west, so as to mobilize the 44th Division in the direction of the Western Mountains so that they could take the opportunity to break through the western part of the country where mechanized warfare was suitable.Mountains, deep into the Pingkang Valley, forcing the volunteers back hundreds of miles.

In the early morning of October 14, 1952, the United Nations Army launched a fierce artillery attack on the 597.9 Highlands and the 537.7 Highlands North Mountain of the Battle of Shangganling. Under the saturation bombing, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.Feng Baisheng led the rescue team, but in the intensive artillery fire, most of the surface defenses were destroyed, making the rescue operation extremely difficult.

At the same time, the enemy launched an attack on our army on a frontal front of 80 miles. The US Seventh Division and the South Second Division concentrated three regiments of infantry, with more than 300 cannons, more than 50 aircraft and fourUnder the cover of seventeen tanks, a fierce attack was launched on multiple highlands such as 391 and 419.On average, six artillery shells fell every second, with more than 300,000 shells falling throughout the day. Two meters were cut off the granite mountain.Despite this, our army relied on its tenacious fighting spirit to successfully withstand the enemy's offensive and wiped out more than 1,900 enemy troops on the first day. However, it also paid the price of 550 casualties. The battle was not only cruel but alsoIt goes without saying.

Deputy Commander Gao Fengliang was extremely anxious at the artillery position of the 15th Army, waiting for orders from his superiors, but Cui Jiangong, commander of the 45th Division, strictly ordered not to use the artillery without authorization.General Qin Jiwei took the initiative to ask General Wang Jinshan for instructions, hoping to cancel the plan for Zhuzidong Nanshan and concentrate the firepower of large-caliber artillery in the direction of the Battle of Shangganling.However, Wang Jinshan needed to ask Deng Hua for instructions, and Deng Hua said that he needed to wait for the command's response.

In the military command post, General Qin Jiwei responded calmly. However, due to the interruption of communications, the military knew nothing about the actual situation of the Battle of Shangganling. He even suffered from toothache in his anxiety.Hu Mancang found wild eggs to relieve Qin Jiwei's pain, but everyone was more concerned about the safety of Feng Baisheng and other frontline soldiers.However, due to the long distance, they could only hear the sound of artillery but could not see the real situation on the battlefield.

Subsequently, the chief of staff reported that the position fortifications had been completely blown up, the battlefield was devastated, and the soldiers had no way to retreat and could only stick to the tunnels.The number of many companies has been reduced to twenty or thirty men, and the situation is extremely tragic.Qin Jiwei knew that the 45th Division could not be mobilized without orders from the headquarters, so he sent Duan Xianfeng and Liu Xiangyang, the reconnaissance section chief of the 45th Division, to personally conduct reconnaissance in the mountains to obtain the most realistic battle situation.

The brutality of the battle on the first day was beyond anyone's imagination.With tears in his eyes, Liu Xiangyang told General Qin Jiwei what he saw and heard on the mountain, and everyone present was moved to tears.Qin Jiwei strengthened his determination to hold the position. He said that New China was founded on the unyielding spirit of countless martyrs. Even if there is only one soldier left in the 15th Army, this position must be held resolutely.

After several days of fierce fighting, all the surface positions of the Battle of Shangganling were finally lost, and the troops were forced to retreat to the tunnels.When everyone was eager to counterattack and regain the position, Qin Jiwei decided after careful consideration to postpone the counterattack from the 18th to the 19th in order to make more complete preparations and strive to completely drive the enemy out of the position.At this time, General Deng Hua suddenly called and told Qin Jiwei to be fully prepared and immediately launch a counterattack. Qin Jiwei confidently expressed that he would live up to his trust.

Episode 6

Qin Jiwei took out a bottle of white wine and said that when they set off, Deng Hua gave him the white wine to keep out the cold. They were blessed today, so he poured it for them.Duan Xianfeng said that the chief gave the army commander wine to wish them victory, and the army commander gave them drinks to wish them victory.Qin Jiwei said that he knew what Duan Xianfeng was thinking. Duan Xianfeng said that the commander wanted them to go to the battlefield because the dignity of soldiers is on the battlefield, but he did not want them to go to the battlefield because the dignity of their relatives was also in the future, but only by winning this battle,Only in this way can we build a new China.US military reporters took many photos of fallen soldiers here.

Shuangxi was here muttering that this battle was not easy to fight. Qin Jiwei happened to hear it and asked Shuangxi how he wanted to fight. Shuangxi felt that if it was him, he would fight at night if he couldn't fight during the day, taking advantage of the enemy's rest.Qin Jiwei asked Shuangxi to send a message to the 45th Division and then stay there. Shuangxi was also very happy.The staff officer saw reporters taking photos here and felt that they should be promoting the US military, rather than taking these photos and asking people to take him away.The reporter said that he was obstructing the freedom of the press and that he could sue him. The adviser asked him to wait until that time comes.

Duan Xianfeng is now the deputy company commander of the Eighth Company, asking everyone to pack their equipment and prepare to set off.Duan Xianfeng found that there were no Molotov grenades. Others said that they did not find these at all when they went to equip the squad, and they also had a few of their own grenades.Shuangxi came over and brought several boxes of grenades, saying that the army commander asked him to report here as a meeting gift. Duan Xianfeng was also very happy to see that it was a Molotov grenade.Everyone gathered here, but Duan Xianfeng had not yet given the order to set off, and the instructor was also very anxious.

Duan Xianfeng said that the amount of artillery fire from the US military this time was very large. Even if the body was made of granite, a section had been chipped away. The gravel would make it impossible for their guns to shoot, so they could only rely on grenades, not to mention that the US artillery fire blocked them.logistics supply line, if they did not bring grenades up once, but asked the logistics troops to deliver them to them, how many people would they have to sacrifice?The instructor can only wait.The people who went to the military headquarters came back and said they had taken more than 300 Molotov grenades and that they had moved all the warehouses.Duan Xianfeng had no choice but to give the order to set off.Duan Xianfeng and the others met Captain Zhang of the Third Company here. Captain Zhang said that there was a 5-minute gap in the 15 minutes of US artillery fire, which was just enough for them to pass.Duan Xianfeng listened to the U.S. military's artillery fire and calculated the number, and found that the number this time was less than before. It was probably not a real hernia, but a deception.

Duan Xianfeng asked everyone not to leave yet, but the people from the Third Company had already left. Shuangxi ran over and said that he would give them a message. Duan Xianfeng continued to listen to the artillery fire and found that he could leave now.This was indeed intentional by the US military, just to make the volunteers misjudge the time of the artillery fire.Someone was injured here in the third company, but nothing happened. Captain Zhang said that if Shuangxi hadn't pulled him, he would have become a martyr.The US military was covering Duan Xianfeng with artillery fire and was unwilling to let everyone pass through here to die. Shuangxi said that he knew a way to go around it.

Duan Xianfeng and the others had not arrived at the designated location yet. Feng Baisheng was also anxious and called the division commander to ask if he wanted support. Cui Jiangong said he would wait for orders first and not act rashly.Cui Jiangong asked the Wusheng Mountain Observation Station and learned that Duan Xianfeng and the others went from the ridge to the mountainside and lost sight of them after that.Feng Baisheng arranged for someone to respond. Laba's bugle had fallen behind, so he hurried back to look for it, and then fell behind.

Duan Xianfeng and the others found that there was no way to pass through Tunnel No. 3, so they had to turn to Tunnel No. 1. Chang Dayou came to meet Duan Xianfeng and the others and took them to Tunnel No. 1.The US military noticed the movement and wanted to chase them. Laba saw it and blew the bugle to lure them away.Duan Xianfeng and the others discovered that there were heavy casualties in the tunnel. Duan Xianfeng called Feng Baisheng, and Feng Baisheng asked them to stay in Tunnel No. 1 to prepare for the counterattack at night.Duan Xianfeng learned that Laba had not come and wanted to find Laba. The instructor said that Duan Xianfeng still had a lot of work to do, so he sent someone to find him.

Episode 7

The instructor came back and told Duan Xianfeng that Laba was not found, but a wounded person was rescued.Duan Xianfeng said that there were more than 140 people outside waiting for their command, and he hoped to find Laba during the counterattack at night.Laba was found by the US military. The US military hoped that he could tell how many people there were and when he wanted to launch an attack.Laba said that he was just a trumpet player and he didn’t know anything.The US military killed Laba.Wang Jinshan called Qin Jiwei and said that Zhisi had decided to send three additional artillery battalions, a cannon artillery battalion, and a Katyusha rocket regiment to Qin Jiwei.

Qin Jiwei said that they must have the momentum of the volunteer army.The chief of staff asked Qin Jiwei why he didn't tell Zhisi that their troops would be very tight after this counterattack, especially the 45th Division.Qin Jiwei said that which unit did not bite the bullet and persevere and let the 29th Division come over to change defenses.Cui Jiangong called Qin Jiwei and said that the six companies had arrived at the designated location and guaranteed to complete the mission.Duan Xianfeng called everyone over and talked about the counterattack in the evening.Fan Yuanbao said that he lost a few grenades when he arrived and didn't know where to go to replace them. The platoon leader was also very depressed.Duan Xianfeng asked each platoon leader to lead each squad of soldiers to check the equipment again.

Duan Xianfeng told the instructor about Shuangxi. He felt that Shuangxi was unorganized and undisciplined, and something would happen sooner or later. It was better to let Shuangxi take care of people and make him responsible for other lives, so that he would know how to protect his own life. The instructor thought it was pretty good..Duan Xianfeng called Shuangxi and Fang Yuanbao over and asked them to form a team to investigate.Shuangxi didn't want to act with others. Duan Xianfeng said he would go back to the guard company if he didn't want to, so Shuangxi had no choice but to agree.Fan Yuanbao couldn't do what the team leader did, so he asked Shuangxi to be the team leader.Duan Xianfeng called everyone back and said that it was easy to sacrifice but difficult to complete the task. He hoped that everyone could complete the task well and come back alive.

The battle started, and the people on Duan Xianfeng's side also rushed forward.On the evening of October 19, 1952, the 45th Division of the Volunteer Army organized six companies, and with the support of the 209th Rocket Artillery Regiment and other artillery fire of our army, launched a counterattack against the United Nations forces occupying the 597.9 Highland and the North Mountain of the 537.7 Highland.The U.S. military has organized support, and the volunteers have captured several positions, but Position Zero has not yet been captured.Qin Jiwei said that Position Zero is very important. If Position Zero cannot be taken, it will also have a great impact on Position 9 and other positions, and the sacrifices of the soldiers will be in vain.

The company commander originally wanted to let the fourth platoon go around from the side, but it was a bit embarrassing to remove this, but the fourth platoon lost a communicator, and the others were sacrificed.The company commander rushed up with a squad of people.Huang Jiguang, the correspondent of the Second Battalion, arrived here with several people. Under the enemy's firepower, Huang Jiguang blocked the hole of the gun with his body and blew up the firepower point.Huang Jiguang died heroically at the age of 21.

Duan Xianfeng saw this scene with a telescope and burst into tears.Duan Xianfeng kept thinking about the scene of Huang Jiguang's sacrifice, and his mental state was not very good.The instructor saw it and said that he had never fought such a fierce battle, and he could completely understand Duan Xianfeng's mood.Duan Xianfeng said that if their assault battle could be faster, if they could bring more grenades, that would mean more time, and the soldier would not need to use his body to block the hole of the gun.The instructor said they had no other choice but to use their bodies as weapons.

Episode 8

Duan Xianfeng's soul was deeply touched by witnessing the soldiers fighting to the death against the enemy's steel torrent using their flesh and blood as blades.Hu Mancang confessed to Duan Xianfeng that they had no choice but to sacrifice heroically. Only in this way could they gain a glimmer of hope of victory.However, Duan Xianfeng is not afraid of death, he is more worried about failing to complete the mission on his shoulders.

In view of the fact that the United States is focusing on the Blumen presidential election and the frontline battle situation, Van Fleet summoned reporter Ryan and asked him to keep what he saw on the battlefield and not leak it.Ryan staunchly objected, seeing it as a betrayal of his professional integrity, unless VanVleet allowed him to accompany him and help write his autobiography.

At the same time, Qin Jiwei was waiting anxiously in the rear and had no time to rest. He urgently ordered the communications company to race against time to repair communications and replenish ammunition, determined to rely on the tunnels to launch a counterattack.On the other hand, the US military is also mobilizing intensively, vowing to regain control of the tunnel.

The U.S. military launched another violent bombardment, and the number of wounded on the battlefield increased sharply, many of whom were buried in the rubble.Shuangxi leads a rescue team, but unexpectedly encounters a surprise attack by the US military, and a fierce battle breaks out between the two sides.Health worker Zheng Guodong died heroically, and the soldiers were also attacked by sneak attacks. Shuangxi witnessed the death of his comrades, and his heart was filled with grief and anger.

Communication was interrupted, and the entire communication squad was killed except for Xiaodouzi.Shuangxi and Xiaodouzi sneaked underground to repair the phone line.The two found what they needed in the cat's ear hole, and Xiaodouzi successfully connected the wires.On the way back, I ran into health worker Xiang Hong.

Du Wenjin discovered that many positions were lost at the observation post, but was unable to report them in time due to communication interruption.She insisted on reporting Yamashita immediately, while Liu Xiangyang, the reconnaissance section chief, was concerned that the information had not been verified and the 44th Division had not yet reported it.In the end, Du Wenjin's sense of urgency prompted Liu Xiangyang to report the severe situation directly to Qin Jiwei.

The United Nations launched a heavy counterattack. The volunteers suffered heavy casualties and were running low on ammunition.Except for holding some positions on Highland 597.9, the rest were captured by the enemy.Qin Jiwei personally visited the Forty-fifth Division's forward command post, and after listening to reports from Cui Jiangong and Feng Baisheng, he decisively ordered the remaining volunteers to move into the tunnels and continue fighting.

Wang Jinshan, deputy commander of the Third Corps, called Li Desheng, deputy commander of the 12th Army, requesting that a regiment be dispatched as a reserve force to support the Five Sacred Mountains due to the critical situation of the 15th Army.On the other side, Xiang Hong's health team was almost destroyed. She was alone, regardless of her personal safety, carrying medical supplies to support the tunnel. Unfortunately, Xiaodouzi died in the bombing of an enemy plane on the way.

The United Nations military medical station was overcrowded, the number of casualties increased sharply, and morale was low.Van Fleet delivered a speech in person, using his own growth experience to boost morale, promising that this battle would be a decisive battle and would lead everyone to victory.

Shuangxi and Xiang Hong returned to the tunnel. Duan Xianfeng and Hu Mancang were deeply saddened to hear that Xiaodouzi had died.After more than ten hours of fierce fighting, the volunteers suffered heavy casualties and were forced to turn some positions into tunnels for fighting.The fierceness and cruelty of this battle were rare in the Korean battlefield for more than a year. The enemy lost more than 7,000 people, and the 45th Division also suffered heavy casualties.

Wang Jinshan learned that counterattack position No. 19 was gained and lost, and he summoned Qin Jiwei to discuss countermeasures.Qin Jiwei used the metaphor of beating a bear to express his firm determination to never retreat and take the initiative.Wang Jinshan is deeply gratified by this.

Episode 9

On October 21, 1952, after careful verification, Du Wenjin and others questioned the original number of casualties and began to review relevant information.Reconnaissance staff officer Lu Wangyang responded quickly, collected necessary information for Du Wenjin, and finally confirmed the accuracy of the casualty data.Subsequently, Liu Xiangyang corrected the enemy casualty reports on the 19th and 20th, and immediately reported the situation to the division headquarters.

Faced with the adjustment of the United Nations Army's tactics, the Volunteer Army Headquarters and Corps decided to activate the second echelon, and learned that the Twelfth Army would reinforce the Fifteenth Army. This news made Qin Jiwei and others feel excited.In order to effectively resist the enemy's offensive, Qin Jiwei quickly integrated the military agencies and directly affiliated teams, formed 13 combat companies, and engaged in intense tunnel operations.

At this time, the command system in the tunnel fell into chaos.Duan Xianfeng and Hu Mancang personally took command and calmed the nervous mood of the soldiers.At this critical moment, Mo Yuan suddenly appeared in the tunnel and reunited excitedly with his old friend Duan Xianfeng.As Duan Xianfeng's introducer to join the party, Mo Yuan shoulders the important mission of going to Geoje Island to collect the latest information on the United Nations prisoner-of-war camp.

After careful investigation, Hu Mancang confirmed that there were sixteen companies of soldiers in the tunnel, and there were also some sick and wounded. The entire No. 1 Tunnel was in chaos.In order to change this situation, Duan Xianfeng and Hu Mancang discussed and decided to establish a party branch in the tunnel and asked Mo Yuan to guide the work as a superior commissioner.With party members as the core, they set about rebuilding the organization and command system in the tunnel.

With the joint efforts of all party members, the soldiers in Tunnel No. 1 closely focused on the party organization and reorganized the party branch, with Hu Mancang as the party branch secretary.In view of Duan Xianfeng's rich combat experience and excellent command ability, he was entrusted with the important task of military command.This move quickly restored the complete structure in the tunnel and significantly improved the overall combat effectiveness.

Mo Yuan felt gratified when he witnessed Duan Xianfeng's remarkable growth, and he was also full of curiosity about the life in the tunnel.Just as Duan Xianfeng was introducing the structure of the tunnel to Mo Yuan, Hu Mancang brought the latest instructions from the division headquarters: They were required to hide in the tunnel during the day and attack at night to harass the enemy and kill and injure the enemy's effective forces.The company commander also spoke highly of the establishment of the party branch in the tunnel.

As night fell, Duan Xianfeng and others launched night operations as planned.Although Duan Xianfeng refused to accompany Mo Yuan due to safety concerns, Mo Yuan still insisted on leaving the tunnel.Fan Yuanbao tried to dissuade him but failed. When Duan Xianfeng and Hu Mancang returned, Mo Yuan was missing.

Another incident aroused Duan Xianfeng's concern: Fan Yuanbao shot and killed a United Nations soldier at the entrance of the cave without authorization. Although it was excusable, it might expose the location of the hidden cave entrance.Duan Xianfeng immediately convened a backbone meeting to discuss countermeasures. Everyone agreed that the enemy might take extreme measures such as blocking the entrance of the cave, setting fire to it, and filling it with smoke.Faced with the coming crisis, the soldiers in the tunnel felt stressed.

Soon after, the United Nations troops launched an attack and blocked the tunnel entrance with exploding gasoline barrels.At this time of life and death, Duan Xianfeng decisively contacted Gao Fengliang to request artillery support.Under Duan Xianfeng's long-range command, Gao Fengliang quickly organized artillery fire to violently bombard the entrance of the tunnel, successfully repelling the US military.

However, during the pursuit of the enemy, Shuangxi once again disobeyed orders and almost died under gunfire.Duan Xianfeng was angry and gave him severe criticism and pointed out: as a soldier, you must obey orders and work together to defeat the enemy.Shuangxi deeply reflected on his mistakes and admitted his fault to Duan Xianfeng.

Episode 10

After Shuangxi saw the photo of the little girl who was a temple student, she couldn't help but wonder if Duan Xianfeng was married and had children.Duan Xianfeng confessed frankly that the temple student was actually his adopted daughter.It turns out that many years ago, Miao Sheng's sister was unfortunately killed in a car accident by United Nations troops in Peiping, causing Miao Sheng to become an orphan.Duan Xianfeng resolutely led the temple students to seek justice from the United States, but the other party was only willing to compensate a paltry thirty-six US dollars. This move deeply hurt Duan Xianfeng and made him deeply realize that the dignity of the country and the glory of the nation can onlyIt can only be won through unremitting struggle.

At this time, the Battle of Shangganling was at its most intense and difficult moment. Qin Jiwei discovered that the 45th Division had almost only a few leaders such as Cui Jiangong and the political commissar. All the soldiers were suffering from hunger, and even the cooking squad volunteered to go to the front line..General Deng Hua urgently called Wang Jinshan to convey the latest instructions from the Volunteer Army Headquarters: reinforcements from the Twelfth Army led by Li Desheng were about to arrive on the battlefield.

Upon receiving this news, Qin Jiwei felt extremely heavy. While planning the next tactical deployment, he consulted the tunnel troops for their opinions and planned to launch a new round of counterattack on the 23rd.He sent Ding Xin to scout the enemy's situation first, firmly believing that in this battle of will and faith, only those who persist to the end will have the last laugh.

The tragic battle situation on the front line made U.S. Commander Van Fleet furious. He was angry that the volunteer soldiers still showed amazing tenacity and unity even with a meager subsidy of only three dollars a month.He warned his subordinates that if they showed any signs of laziness or cowardice again, they would be severely punished.

At the same time, Shuangxi and others carefully conducted reconnaissance at the tunnel exit and confirmed that the enemy had been temporarily silent.Duan Xianfeng used the cover of night to go down the mountain to discuss artillery support with Gao Fengliang.At first, Gao Fengliang was prejudiced against Duan Xianfeng's status as an infantryman, but Duan Xianfeng won Gao Fengliang's respect and recognition with his accurate translation of the US military's new combat manual and his unique insights into infantry-artillery coordination tactics.

At the 31st Regiment camp of the US Army, a party to celebrate the birth of a newborn was urgently stopped by the commander. He sternly warned the soldiers that they must concentrate on the current battle and planned to launch an operation that night to drive the Chinese army out of the cave.At the Five Sacred Mountains Observation Station, Du Wenjin volunteered to go to the crisis-ridden Jutingxian for reinforcements. Although she suffered a lot of misunderstandings and prejudices as the daughter of a candy king, Liu Xiangyang knew her family's revolutionary background well and gave herfirm support.

As night falls, the soldiers in the tunnel are looking for a moment of joy in the harsh environment, chatting and laughing with the squirrels.After listening to the mission conveyed by Ding Xin, Duan Xianfeng calmly analyzed the current troop and material situation and believed that it was unwise to attack rashly.Ding Xin was quite dissatisfied with this and thought Duan Xianfeng's attitude was too negative, so the two had a dispute.

Subsequently, Duan Xianfeng received a report from the observation post and learned that the US military had built a large number of fortifications around the position, and the situation became increasingly critical.He immediately wrote a report and reported it to Qin Jiwei, while Hu Mancang reminded him that military orders were like mountains, and the decisions of superiors were often difficult to change easily.Soon, the U.S. military launched another artillery attack, and the tunnel entrance was bombed. Duan Xianfeng decisively ordered the original exit to be closed and a backup channel to be activated.However, in this chaos, Luo Wanxiang was unfortunately seriously injured, and the lack of medicine gradually extinguished his life fire.

Episode 11

Currently, the US military is implementing a dragnet blockade of the tunnel, resulting in an extreme shortage of supplies and water for the troops in the tunnel.General Qin Jiwei was furious when he learned that the logistics department had not solved the supply problem of apples and other supplies.Upon seeing this, the Chief of Staff first appeased Qin Jiwei, pointing out that the current ammunition reserves were insufficient to support the upcoming counterattack on the 23rd, but revealed that a batch of Katyusha rocket launchers had crossed the river and could be transferred through negotiation to increase firepower.

Qin Jiwei perked up after hearing this. Since he and Deputy Commander Hong had fought side by side since the Long March and had a deep friendship, he believed that Deputy Commander Hong would give more support.So, he immediately called Deputy Commander Hong and asked for the deployment of the Katyusha Rocket Artillery Battalion.Seeing that there was no movement from other troops, Deputy Commander Hong readily agreed and promised to deliver it at noon the next day at the latest.

At the same time, there was a shortage of medicines in the tunnel. In order to save his comrade Luo Wanxiang, Fan Yuanbao desperately asked Hu Mancang to participate in a night raid to obtain medicines, but was rejected.Later, he sneaked into the United Nations camp alone and was unfortunately discovered. He had to take some first-aid kits and escape in a hurry. Fortunately, soldiers from the third company helped him escape.

On the other side, Ding Xin and others learned that Fan Yuanbao was acting without authorization during the meeting, and immediately organized Shuangxi and others to go out to find and successfully rescue Fan Yuanbao.They attracted the enemy's attention by throwing grenades and ensured Fan Yuanbao's safe return.

At this time, Duan Xianfeng's report on postponing the counterattack on the 23rd and requesting the joint signature of party members in the tunnel aroused controversy at Hu Mancang.Some comrades did not understand Duan Xianfeng's intentions. After voting, the two sides were evenly matched. In the end, Hu Mancang expressed his support for Duan Xianfeng.

Although Fan Yuanbao returned safely, he was severely criticized by Duan Xianfeng. Duan Xianfeng decided to imprison him because of his unauthorized actions that seriously violated discipline.At the same time, Duan Xianfeng reported the decision on punishment and the report on postponement of counterattack to the regiment headquarters. However, there were different opinions within the regiment, and it was finally reported to the military headquarters.Qin Jiwei expressed his appreciation for Fan Yuanbao's initiative and awarded him second-class merit, but firmly rejected the report of delaying the counterattack.

In addition, Feng Baisheng also criticized Duan Xianfeng's self-report, emphasizing the importance of the Eighth Company's unity and facing difficulties together.He brought reinforcements and Duan Xianfeng was deeply moved.Subsequently, Duan Xianfeng appointed Shuangxi as the squad leader and led his seventh squad to reconnoiter the position. He found that the United Nations had added a large number of light and dark bunkers and that there were omissions in the map markings.

Duan Xianfeng took advantage of the characteristics of the US military's firepower distribution, analyzed potential loopholes in the firepower network, and formulated a detailed counterattack plan.He announced that the 5th Company of the 135th Regiment would cooperate with the 8th Company. The first task was to occupy positions 1 and 3, and then move north to capture the 8th position, forming a pincer attack with the 5th Company.To ensure the success of the mission, Duan Xianfeng particularly emphasized the safety of the operation and the urgency of time.

Episode 12

As they were about to depart, the soldiers implored the liaison officers to deliver letters and allowances to their families, looking forward to their reunion after victory.Duan Xianfeng took the initiative to call Gao Fengliang and announced that he would launch a counterattack tonight, and emphasized that the distance between infantry and artillery must be strictly controlled at 80 meters.When he learned that the Katyusha rocket launcher was ready for use, he was even more passionate and could not restrain himself.

In the dead of night, the Katyusha rocket artillery battalion accurately targeted the 597.9 heights, and two rounds of salvos poured down on the northeastern ridge like a storm.Duan Xianfeng and Hu Mancang led the soldiers of the Eighth Company to follow the roar of artillery fire and advance bravely, successfully occupying position No. 1. The United Nations troops were caught off guard and were shocked by the sight of Chinese soldiers everywhere.

However, the US military quickly adjusted its tactics and launched a fierce counterattack. At the same time, the second echelon also issued emergency reinforcements.Unfortunately, the No. 2 position was ruthlessly suppressed by the enemy's heavy firepower, and its combat effectiveness was completely wiped out.Coupled with serious errors in the coordination of infantry and artillery, the soldiers of the Eighth Company suffered heavy casualties. Unfortunately, many soldiers were accidentally injured by their own artillery fire, and finally had to retreat in pain.

The tunnel was suddenly filled with grief and chaos, and Duan Xianfeng was deeply shocked when he saw this scene. Self-blame and despair intertwined, and he finally collapsed mentally and fainted on the ground.General Qin Jiwei was deeply saddened by the failure of the counterattack. He vowed to persevere to the end even if no one was available, and even went into battle himself. He vowed to bury his bones in the Battle of Shangganling even if he died on the battlefield.

After hearing the news, General Wang Jinshan urgently called Qin Jiwei, pointing out that the 15th Army had reached its limit and suggested that it should either hold on to the end or retreat in time. As a general, one should know how to assess the situation.Qin Jiwei firmly stated that he would hand over a satisfactory answer to the leadership.

In Tunnel No. 1, Hu Mancang urgently convened a party branch meeting to deeply reflect on the reasons for the failure of the counterattack on No. 23.Ding Xin pointedly pointed out Duan Xianfeng's command errors, but Hu Mancang believed that problems with infantry and artillery coordination were normal in war.Duan Xianfeng took the initiative to take responsibility, confessed that his command was inappropriate and his mood was extremely low.

Gao Fengliang was furious and asked Duan Xianfeng why he failed to fulfill his promise, causing the battle to get out of control.Hu Mancang suggested that Gao Fengliang awaken Duan Xianfeng in a violent way and hand over his battle plan.After some struggle and reflection, Duan Xianfeng finally found himself again with the help of his comrades, and realized that he should focus on detecting the enemy's situation and optimizing tactical coordination rather than indulging in report writing.His revival made Hu Mancang, Feng Baisheng and others very happy.

Due to the heroic resistance of the Chinese volunteers, the US military suffered heavy losses and had to let the 31st Regiment of the South Korean Army take over the defense of Highland 597.9.In response, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, Jin In-pyo, was full of complaints and believed that this move was just to clean up the mess for the US military.Tom, the U.S. company commander, suffered a mental breakdown because he almost died with the volunteers. He called the Chinese soldiers invincible demons when he met everyone.Colonel Tiger had no choice but to appoint Bell to take over the command of Tom, and warned him that the South Korean Army was by no means a match for the Chinese Volunteer Army, hoping that it could get rid of drug dependence to cope with future challenges.

Episode 13

Everyone at the Jutingxian Observation Post noticed the enemy's unusual behavior and found that a large number of US troops were evacuating down the mountain, so they quickly reported the situation to the director, Zhao Chuang.Subsequently, Qin Jiwei, based on the intelligence provided by Du Wenjin and others, confirmed that the Second South Division had been replaced by the US Seventh Division and took over the defense of 597.9 Heights. This clearly showed that the US military could no longer support it.Qin Jiwei immediately called Wang Jinshan and asked for more time to have a more comprehensive understanding of the position.

At the same time, Duan Xianfeng went down the mountain at night and went to the artillery position of the 15th Army alone. Not only did he apologize and thank Gao Fengliang for the previous misunderstanding, he also handed over the US military training manual he had translated and wrote it in the notebook.Recorded his own opinions.As a result, the two men eliminated the estrangement and decided to work together to deepen the research on infantry and artillery coordination tactics and jointly contribute to killing the enemy.

When Hu Mancang was organizing a party member meeting, he unexpectedly learned that Shuangxi had expressed his desire to join the party, and asked him to write an application for joining the party.On the other side, Jin Zhuxuan, commander of the 31st Regiment of the Second Korean Division, came to exchange defense with Tiger.Tiger warned Jin Zhuxuan not to underestimate the Chinese army, because they can always attack at unexpected moments, but Jin Zhuxuan did not take this seriously and confidently believed that he could deal with the volunteers who had run out of ammunition and food.

Since the artillery finger had been moved, Duan Xianfeng took on the task of maintaining contact with the Jutingxian Observation Post.Du Wenjin observed closely at the front line and reported the actual situation to Duan Xianfeng in detail. At the same time, he asked with concern about the food reserves in the tunnel, hoping that the soldiers could persevere.Although Duan Xianfeng expressed his determination to persevere, he knew in his heart that the troops had been without water for many days and there were not even many compressed biscuits left.

Soon, Jin Zhuxuan ordered a feint attack on all the tunnels of the Volunteer Army, and implemented continuous and fierce artillery fire coverage.Kim In-pyo believed that this move was too dangerous and suggested withdrawing to Jiwoong Mountain, but Kim Joo-hyun refused.Duan Xianfeng judged from the artillery fire information coming from various tunnel positions that the Korean army's attack was actually a bluff, and its real target was probably their position.

Faced with this severe situation, Duan Xianfeng immediately made arrangements: Hu Mancang led the wounded to hide deep in the main tunnel for refuge; Feng Yugang led the fire team to guard the entrance of the tunnel; he personally took people out for reconnaissance.At the same time, he left instructions that if he failed to return in time, Shuangxi would detonate the explosives in the tunnel to block the enemy's attack and ensure the safety of the tunnel.

The Korean army led by Kim Joo Hyun quickly surrounded the tunnel and threw gas bombs inside.Volunteer soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet towels and fought to the death with enemies wearing gas masks.Although they fought one after another and suffered heavy casualties, they still stubbornly blocked the enemy from the entrance of the tunnel.

Duan Xianfeng urgently called for rear artillery support. After receiving the order, Gao Fengliang quickly organized infantry and artillery coordinated operations and successfully repelled the Korean offensive.However, a new round of bombing followed immediately. The tunnel was crumbling in the violent explosion, and the wounded fell into extreme fear.At the critical moment, Feng Baisheng led everyone to sing the "War Hymn of the Chinese People's Volunteers", and their singing was particularly loud amidst the sound of artillery fire.

As the Korean army attempted to starve and thirst the volunteer soldiers to death by besieging the tunnels, living materials in the tunnels, especially water resources, became extremely scarce.Under this situation, the soldiers still maintained an optimistic spirit: the sick and wounded relied on water seeping from the stone walls to maintain their lives; other soldiers quenched their thirst by drinking “Glory Tea”.When discussing the next step of action with Hu Mancang, Duan Xianfeng expressed his firm belief in holding on to his position, believing that it would be difficult to regain the position once he retreated.

At the same time, Qin Jiwei personally visited the field hospital and witnessed the tragic rescue scene and the tenacious will of the wounded.He felt deeply sad and heavy, especially when he saw the wounded who, even though they were physically disabled, still cared about the country.Shortly after returning to the headquarters after donating blood, Qin Jiwei received another call from Wang Jinshan.He said with emotion that although he and the soldiers were all tested steel warriors, many of the soldiers were new recruits on the battlefield, and behind them were countless families.At this time, the Eighth Company received news that they were running out of ammunition and food and asked for instructions. Qin Jiwei fell into deep thought.

Episode 14

Qin Jiwei asked someone to ask if they could still fight after seeing the troops. The chief of staff felt that Qin Jiwei was not such a bad temper before. Qin Jiwei said that he had died alone before, but now he was carrying the lives of tens of thousands of the entire army. Of course he couldn'tIt's the same as before, I am also responsible for the safety of the entire line of defense.When Duan Xianfeng and others got together, they all felt that they had to win or die, so they all put their thumbprints on the petition.Seeing Duan Xianfeng's hesitation, the chief of staff talked about Duan Xianfeng's past, saying that Qin Jiwei could fight before, and everyone can fight now. Qin Jiwei's character is the character of the entire army.

People from each tunnel were sent to deliver letters of challenge, saying that they would fight resolutely until the last moment.Shuangxi wrote the party application here, and Xiang Hong happened to see it and said that he wrote the wrong words.Shuangxi learned that Xiang Hong was a party member and asked him if he could write it for him. Xiang Hong said that he had to write the party application himself, but he could teach him.Shuangxi was also very happy after hearing this.Shuangxi handed the application for party membership to the instructor, and the instructor said that he would discuss Shuangxi's matter at the next meeting. If everyone agreed, he would be a probationary party member and wait one year to pass the examination before he can become a formal party member.

Everyone eats compressed biscuits here, and they can’t swallow them without water.The instructor told everyone about looking at plums to quench thirst, and asked everyone to imagine that they are eating oranges and they can swallow them.Ding Xin came over to find Duan Xianfeng and felt that this was not going to work. They should go to the US military position to get the water back.Duan Xianfeng said that going to the opposite position to grab water now would be risking death.The instructor said that since Ding Xin has arrived in the tunnel, he is a member of their eighth company. Regardless of whether he makes sense or not, he must at least be responsible for his own life.Jutingxian Observation Station saw someone coming down the mountain in Tunnel No. 1 and quickly told Duan Xianfeng.

Ding Xindai's men went to the opposite position to grab water, but they didn't get it back and they were injured.Duan Xianfeng brought someone over to respond and brought Ding Xin and the others back. He was sad to see Ding Xin die in front of him.The chief of staff felt that the enemy's artillery fire had decreased, which was a good thing. Qin Jiwei said that the enemy's artillery fire had decreased only because the soldiers were all.They hid in the tunnel, there was no need for them to explode.Qin Jiwei feels that many fighters nowadays are just fighting back for the sake of counterattack, and this battle cannot be fought like this.Shuangxi went on a mission and when he came back, he dropped off a bucket of water.

The instructor found that Shuangxi had not returned yet, and felt that Shuangxi must have acted without authorization, so he took someone out to respond.The South Korean army discovered Shuangxi and kept firing. The instructor and the others encountered Shuangxi and brought Shuangxi back, but the instructor was injured.Instructor Xiang Hong helped treat the wound and dug out the bullet on the surface, but there was a deeper bullet underneath. There were not many medical supplies left, and it would be troublesome if it got infected.The instructor comforted them, saying that they were fine and that they could hold on.Qin Jiwei called everyone over to explain the next move, and asked Cui Jiangong if he could hold on.

Cui Jiangong said that the situation in the tunnel was very serious, but everyone said that as long as the weapons and bullets could be replenished, they could continue to fight.Qin Jiwei asked them to deliver supplies to the tunnel at any low price. Whoever could deliver the supplies and bring down the wounded would be given second-class merit.After this battle, Fan Yuanbao and the others have also grown a lot.They all firmly want to fight on and would rather die here.

Episode 15

The head of the Logistics Department told Duan Xianfeng that although many of the enemy's firepower points had been destroyed, their Logistics Department had suffered more than 1,200 casualties, and he almost had no one left.Qin Jiwei did not expect that there would be so many casualties in the Logistics Department. The Chief of Staff said that the 29th Division could still squeeze out two battalions and called him himself.Qin Jiwei called the commander of the 29th Division over and poured him wine.Although the teacher was baffled, he could only drink.

Qin Jiwei knew that it was also difficult for them, but he just wanted to put pressure on him and let the whole army know that everything was now focused on the Battle of Shangganling.Qin Jiwei said that he knew it was very difficult for them, but did he just refuse to move troops when the chief of staff asked him to do so?The senior said that he would definitely squeeze out people, and if there were not enough people, he would go on his own.The transportation line is very long, and there is a section of the road that cannot be passed by vehicles, so it can only be carried on people's backs or animals.Originally thought.After the enemy's firepower point was eliminated, a section of the road was unobstructed. Du Wenjing called Duan Xianfeng and asked them to pay attention to the response. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden exchange of fire on the other side of the transportation line. It turned out to be a high-firing rifle from the South Korean Army.He was transferred to the mountain.

Now the transport has been terminated.Du Wenjin felt that it was his work error, and Duan Xianfeng felt that he could not be blamed for this. There were some places that could not be seen at the observation post, so investigators could only be sent there.You can decide to go and take a look at the location of the anti-aircraft machine gun in person at night. Du Wenjing thinks it is too dangerous. Many observers died there. Duan Xianfeng said that there is no other way now but to take a look by himself and let Du WenjingKeep in touch and tell him when you find a place.Duan Xianfeng asked Du Wenjin's code name and learned that his name was Mulan. Only then did he realize that he was the girl he met before.

The two agreed to communicate using a set of code words in Wenzhou dialect.Shuangxi wanted to go on a reconnaissance trip with Duan Xianfeng, but Duan Xianfeng disagreed, saying that he was not yet a party member and was still in solitary confinement. He would resume his position when the instructor woke up.Duan Xianfeng went out to conduct reconnaissance and found four high-altitude gun fire points, and told Du Wenjin.Duan Xianfeng was about to go back when he suddenly heard the South Korean army saying that they had found the location of the observation post and wanted to bombard it.Du Wenjin told Liu Xiangyang the location, but he fainted from exhaustion.Duan Xianfeng contacted Du Wenjin, but the other party did not respond.

Duan Xianfeng was discovered by the South Korean army and hid.Du Wenjin woke up and quickly contacted Duan Xianfeng. Duan Xianfeng told Du Wenjin the news in Morse code, and Du Wenjin quickly informed everyone to retreat.Fortunately, they retreated in time and nothing happened to everyone, but they were still a little injured.The 44th Division wanted to fight at the Battle of Shangganling, but Qin Jiwei asked them to guard the Western Mountain and keep an eye on the enemy there.Duan Xianfeng came over to see the instructor and said that he was not used to the instructor being so quiet now.Xiang Hong said that the instructor had been infected and would not be able to survive without antibiotics.

The gun pointer obtained the verified position and knocked out all four firepower points.The Twelfth Army rushed over, and Qin Jiwei said he didn't expect them to arrive so soon.Li Desheng said that the soldiers were very happy when they heard that there was going to be a war.Qin Jiwei introduced the current situation to Li Desheng, and Li Desheng said that it seemed that he had arrived too early.Qin Jiwei asked Li Desheng to go around first and listen to what the 15th Army had to say.

Episode 16

Due to the lack of materials in the tunnels, especially the shortage of water resources, Qin Jiwei learned that the soldiers had been drinking the so-called Glory Tea for three consecutive days. He was extremely anxious and immediately ordered that 60,000 kilograms of apples must be sent in, and promised that anyone who could bring a basket ofThose whose apples are safely delivered to the tunnel will be directly awarded second-class merit.

In a conversation with guard Wang Lu, Qin Jiwei recalled that he was appointed company commander at the age of seventeen. Most of his peers were regimental commanders, but he was full of enthusiasm and not afraid of difficulties.There was now a vacancy for the commander of the guard company. Qin Jiwei asked Wang Lu if he dared to take on this role, and emphasized that they would no longer be limited to guard duties, but would go to the front line to fight in person.

At the same time, Aunt Xu, the mother of the martyr, deeply missed her son. She walked alone from the Taihang Mountains and arrived at the front line of the Five Sacred Mountains with a condolence group, just to see her son Xu Xiao.Knowing that Xu Xiao belonged to the Eighth Company, Qin Jiwei promised to hand over the apple and specially tied a red ribbon for identification.

Later, Qin Jiwei inspected the guard company that was ready to go. Looking at these soldiers who had fought side by side for many years, Qin Jiwei felt mixed emotions in his heart.Before leaving, he encouraged everyone to successfully complete the mission and return safely. He gave his pen to Wang Lu and told him to personally hand over Aunt Xu's apple to Xu Xiao.

On the other side, Shuangxi deeply reflected on Duan Xianfeng and asked to fight again to support the guard company.Seeing that he was determined, Duan Xianfeng not only approved his request, but also signed his application for party membership, praising his pursuit of progress, which was also the expectation he shared with Hu Mancang.

On the way up the mountain, the guard company was unfortunately ambushed by Korean machine guns and suffered heavy losses. Almost all the apples were lost. Company commanders Jin Dazhi and Wang Lu died one after another.Shuangxi led Xu Xiao and others to come to the rescue. Xu Xiao died heroically and blocked the bullet with his body. He was unable to taste the apple sent by his mother before he died.

Xu Xiao's apples were brought into the tunnel, and Duan Xianfeng emphasized that they were not only supplies, but also the care of the military and Aunt Xu's motherly love.He organized the wounded to eat the only apple together and called on everyone to regard Aunt Xu as their common mother.

When Ge Dawang learned that his younger brother Ge Sanwang had died, he was heartbroken and recalled the scene of his brothers' separation.Li Desheng asked Cui Jiangong if he was willing to change defenses. Cui Jiangong said that the guard company had been sent to the front line and he would hold on until the end unless he received an order to retreat.

Duan Xianfeng contacted Du Wenjin to report the encounter of the guard company and the enemy's hidden fire points, requesting that they must be found and destroyed.Qin Jiwei personally informed Aunt Xu of the news of Xu Xiao's sacrifice. Although Aunt Xu was heartbroken, she still firmly stated that she would let the soldiers eat apples and vowed to win the battle and expel the American emperor.Qin Jiwei promised to fulfill his mission and advised Aunt Xu to take care of her health.

Zhang Wenzhou, acting chief of staff of the Volunteer Army, discussed the frontline situation with Deng Hua and was thankful for the timely reinforcements from the Twelfth Army.Deng Hua considered that the enemy might counterattack if they knew that the Fifteenth Army was insufficient in strength, so he decided that if the Twelfth Army participated in the war, it should also act in the name of the Fifteenth Army to confuse the enemy.

Qin Jiwei returned to the headquarters of the 15th Army and discussed the counterattack plan for the 28th with Li Desheng.The two agreed and decided to focus on Position 3. They would first secretly attack Position 0, then surprise positions 10 and 9 to cut off the enemy's reinforcements to Position 3, and ultimately achieve a comprehensive victory. They were full of confidence in this.

Episode 17

In his diary, Qin Jiwei fondly reviewed the second anniversary of the Volunteer Army's entry into Korea. He wrote with emotion: In the past two years, we have witnessed countless glorious victories, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula has also been unpredictable.The stability of the battle line not only demonstrates our tenacity, but also makes the enemy's declining combat power obvious.From the initial reduction of more than 22,000 men per month, to now it has dropped sharply to 8,000, while the enemy's losses have continued to rise. All this reflects the huge difference in morale and equipment between the two sides.The United States may be deeply tired and realize that if it continues to delay, it will only be accompanied by death. The hope of victory is gradually fading away. The final chapter of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea is bound to come.%

In Tunnel No. 3, the soldiers worked together, Feng Baisheng delivered precious water in time, and Hu Mancang finally recovered.Later, under the witness of Duan Xianfeng, Hu Mancang, Feng Baisheng and others, Shuangxi solemnly swore to join the party and became a glorious member.In the tunnel, the international singing was passionate and the morale was unprecedentedly high. Every soldier kept in mind the sacred mission of defending their homeland and fighting against imperialism.

However, the road to transportation is full of thorns.The transportation team of the 15th Army was repeatedly attacked by the enemy's hidden firepower points at high altitudes, causing heavy losses.Captain Sun Tengxuan was heartbroken and decided to personally lead the charge through the artillery blockade.Nie Jifeng, political commissar of the 45th Division, watched him off with tears in his heart, full of reluctance and respect.

Ge Dawang dragged his injured leg down the mountain with difficulty and reported the location of the enemy's firepower points to Army Commander Qin Jiwei.Qin Jiwei knew the importance of this information and immediately deployed artillery up the mountain to protect the transportation lines, and ordered the Eighth Company to find and destroy the enemy's hidden fire points.

At the same time, Feng Baisheng and Duan Xianfeng planned a wise and brave plan to lure the enemy.Duan Xianfeng took risks, attracted firepower, and created opportunities for Double Happiness.On the other side, the artillery regiment commander Jin Zhong faced steep cliffs and overcame numerous difficulties, vowing to deliver the artillery to the front line.

Qin Jiwei visited the Logistics Department and the Tomb of Heroes, where the relics of the volunteers’ martyrs are stored.He knew very well that those transport troops who dedicated themselves silently and never had a direct confrontation with the enemy also won victory at the cost of their lives.Their loyalty and belief moved Qin Jiwei deeply and strengthened his belief in victory.

In October 1952, the U.S. election was in full swing, with the Korean War becoming the focus.Eisenhower's sudden statement made the war situation confusing.Van Fleet is holding on to his trump card - the 187th Airborne Regiment, ready to face all challenges.

Zhang Yunyu and Qin Jiwei acted urgently to help transport the cannon.As night fell, Duan Xianfeng and others cleverly lured the enemy, and Jinzhong fired accurately, successfully destroying the enemy's firepower points and ensuring the safety of the transportation line.Qin Jiwei was overjoyed and awarded the golden bell.

With the whole country paying attention to resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, Shiji issued a commendation order to the 15th Army.Qin Jiwei personally inspected the new recruits and prepared for the counterattack on the 28th.Faced with the challenge of insufficient transportation capacity, he made decisive decisions, split the supplies, and the entire army worked together, vowing to let Van Fleet see the powerful firepower of the 15th Army.

Van Fleet showed the elite 187th Airborne Regiment as his trump card. Task leader Jesse dismissed the strength of the Chinese army. However, the upcoming battle will prove everything.

Episode 18

Du Wenjin suffered an eye infection due to inflammation of the wound. Despite this, he still stood at his post at the observation post, successfully deciphered the enemy's intelligence, and promptly reported to Duan Xianfeng that an advance unit had climbed to the 597.9 heights, and that two tunnels were currently lost.connect.Duan Xianfeng realized that the situation was critical and immediately led Shuangxi out for reconnaissance.

At the same time, the US military met with the South Korean army, and Jesse was ordered to come to support.However, when he heard Jin In-pyo's plan, he thought it was a bit unreliable, but Tiger thought the plan was feasible.That night, the 187th Regiment of the US Army raided the ammunition tunnel. Duan Xianfeng was in danger and surrounded by artillery shells, but he cleverly used the ammunition to eliminate the enemy.

After Du Wenjin heard the explosion, he hurriedly observed it with a telescope and felt a little relieved.However, because his eye injury was serious, director Zhao Chuang arranged for him to go down the mountain for treatment.When leaving, he was misled by the soldier who answered the phone and mistakenly thought that Duan Xianfeng had died.Qin Jiwei was furious when he learned that Duan Xianfeng had blown up the ammunition depot. Feng Baisheng wanted to take responsibility, but Qin Jiwei ordered Duan Xianfeng to come to see him.

Regarding the issue of image copyright, we will not discuss it here.

Everyone was talking about Duan Xianfeng being detained by the army commander, but Duan Xianfeng was thinking about artillery coordination tactics.He believed that to achieve tacit cooperation between the two sides, an artillery observer was needed to provide accurate data and positions to the artillery commander.Just as Duan Xianfeng tried to slip away from the tunnel, he accidentally met Qin Jiwei and was helplessly arrested and taken back to the solitary room.

Qin Jiwei regretted that he had brought Duan Xianfeng to the Korean battlefield. Although Duan Xianfeng was willing to accept any punishment, the mistakes he made were fatal.Duan Xianfeng knew that blowing up the ammunition depot would affect the subsequent counterattack plan, but he believed that there was no other way because something had happened in the two tunnels.He used infantry and artillery coordination tactics to persuade Qin Jiwei, and applied to be a frontline artillery observer only, hoping to make meritorious deeds.

Subsequently, each division reported on its preparations for counterattack.It has been less than 24 hours since the major counterattack on the 28th. The US military continues to replenish its troops, and the situation is not optimistic.It is difficult for the Fifteenth Army alone to deal with it, so we can only rely on the Twelfth Army.Qin Jiwei knew that the Twelfth Army needed positions as a reserve force instead of cleaning up the mess, so he ordered Cui Jiangong to prepare a combat plan within two days and went to Li Desheng to discuss delaying the counterattack until the 30th.Li Desheng agreed with Qin Jiwei's suggestion.

In order to completely convince Wang Jinshan, Qin Jiwei said that as long as he was given two more days, the 15th Army would definitely win the Battle of Shangganling.Even if the US troops are transferred back, they will defend to the death.Finally, Wang Jinshan reported the situation to Deng Hua, who called Qin Jiwei and expressed that Zhisi fully agreed to postpone the counterattack on the 28th to the 30th.

Although Duan Xianfeng was released from confinement, he had been injured in an explosion before, suffered frequent headaches, and eventually fainted.The doctor advised him to take a good rest, but he insisted on returning to the front line.At the same time, in the field hospital, Du Wenjin accidentally heard Duan Xianfeng's name, but when he looked back, he could not find him.

The condolences group brought a letter written by a temple student to Duan Xianfeng. Duan Xianfeng learned that his daughter had joined the Young Pioneers and was sincerely happy for her.When Qin Jiwei stayed up late reading documents at the military headquarters, he subconsciously called Wang Lu's name, but Wang Lu did not appear.A strange guard came to him, which surprised him.At this moment, the chief of staff told Qin Jiwei that Wang Lu had died on the front line, and Qin Jiwei was heartbroken.

Episode 19

After reading the letter written by the temple student, Duan Xianfeng felt homesick in his heart, so he wrote a reply himself.In the letter, he said that although he had not yet made any achievements, he would continue to work hard and strive to go home during the Chinese New Year and witness with his own eyes the moment when she became a Young Pioneer and gave the team salute.At the same time, Duan Xianfeng also told the temple students the history of the martyrs’ bloodshed and sacrifice for the people of New China, emphasizing that every red scarf carries this bright red memory.

Later, Duan Xianfeng was transferred to the combat staff and discussed the combat plan with Gao Fengliang. During this period, he met Liu Feng, the combat staff of the 209th Regiment. Liu Feng brought support from the Katyusha Battalion.At the same time, the commander of the Second Division of the South Korean Army, Ding Il-kwon, was about to be transferred, while his successor, Kim Joo-hyun, chose to stay on the front line and continue fighting in order to maintain his dignity.He believed that only by attacking the Chinese could he truly win the respect of Americans, but Ding Yiquan told him that this was just a luxury.

Within the headquarters of the U.S. Ninth Army, Van Fleet disagreed with everyone. The battle plan he insisted on would cause a large number of casualties and lead to a serious shortage of troops.At this time, General Clark from the United Nations Command in Tokyo called and revealed that the US Seventh Division was about to return, which made Van Fleet even more delighted.

Qin Jiwei convened a meeting of the division commanders of the 15th Army, conveyed the news that the counterattack would be postponed for two days, and assigned the tasks of coordinated operations for each division.Each division expressed its determination to complete its mission and regain its surface positions.Qin Jiwei reminded everyone that the Battle of Shangganling will last for a period of time. After seizing the position, the enemy will definitely launch a fierce counterattack.At the same time, the reserve force of the Twelfth Army will also arrive, and the Fifteenth Army must not leave the mess to the opponent.

Regarding the image copyright issue, Feng Baisheng informed the Eighth Company that the counterattack would be postponed for two days. Duan Xianfeng would not be able to return for the time being, and he himself would go to Tunnel No. 3.Therefore, the responsibility for Tunnel No. 1 will be handed over to Double Happiness.After Shuangxi became the acting deputy company commander, he immediately convened a party branch meeting to communicate the spirit in groups and stabilize everyone's emotions.

In order to thank the soldiers who stuck to the tunnels, Qin Jiwei distributed the fruit candies and pears he purchased to everyone, and invited representatives from each tunnel to have dinner.Seeing the soldiers devouring their food, he felt deeply distressed.That night, the Volunteer Army transport team transported a large amount of ammunition and supplies into various tunnels to fully prepare for the counterattack.When Kim In-pyo went down to the high ground and returned to the camp to sleep at night, he was ordered by Kim Joo-hyun to take Bell back to the position to organize an attack. Kim In-pyo had no choice but to accept the task.

Since the wounded needed to be transferred to a medical center, Shuangxi arranged for Hu Mancang and the wounded to go to the high ground.However, Hu Mancang insisted on leaving with the last wounded man.When leaving, Shuangxi felt reluctant to leave, but he also understood his responsibility as deputy company commander.Hu Mancang was very pleased to see Shuangxi's growth.

Soon after, however, correspondents reported enemy troops approaching and scouting the tunnels.Shuangxi believed that the most important thing at the moment was to prepare for the counterattack, so he did not choose to take the initiative. Instead, he ordered the correspondent to call the artillery for artillery coverage and lead the team to support the ammunition tunnel.However, Jin Renbiao led the Korean army and Bell's team to attack the wounded soldiers' tunnel, and Hu Mancang led everyone to evacuate urgently.During the battle, the Korean army used poison gas bombs, and Hu Mancang was shot to protect everyone.Xiang Hong hurriedly picked him up and walked out, while Luo Wanxiang blocked the enemy's attack with his flesh and blood, and unfortunately died heroically.Xiang Hong and Hu Mancang were blocked by the enemy. At the critical moment, Shuangxi and his men came to eliminate the enemy.But unfortunately, Hu Mancang was seriously injured.Before he died, he took away a bullet from Shuangxi and told him that the gun should never be pointed at his own people.

Because of the sacrifices of Luo Wanxiang and Hu Mancang, Shuangxi felt deeply guilty and believed that he had made a mistake in judgment.He took the initiative to request punishment from Feng Baisheng.However, Feng Baisheng was furious, believing that even if Shuangxi passively avoided the war, it would not change the fact of casualties.He ordered Shuangxi to stay in the tunnel and reflect seriously.

This news reached the frontline command post of the US Eighth Army. Reporter Ryan believed that attacking the wounded tunnels was not in line with the humanitarian spirit. He had a new understanding of the US military's combat methods.On the other side, Qin Jiwei invited Duan Xianfeng and others to have dinner and mentioned Hu Mancang's excellent qualities.However, when Duan Xianfeng heard the news of Hu Mancang's sacrifice, he burst into tears.Others also had red eyes and felt uncomfortable inside.

Episode 20

Duan Xianfeng asked to go to the battlefield again. Qin Jiwei read the report he brought and thought that the tactics were not bad, but there was a possibility of sacrifice and the risk factor was relatively high.However, Duan Xianfeng felt that this was the best plan, so he made up his mind and handed the family letter to Qin Jiwei before leaving, hoping that he would deliver it to the temple students on his behalf. Qin Jiwei ordered Duan Xianfeng to come back alive.

Because Hu Mancang's death had a great impact on Shuangxi, Shuangxi was like an eggplant beaten by frost, depressed all day long.After Duan Xianfeng returned to the tunnel, he took the initiative to comfort Shuangxi, saying that there were too many uncontrollable factors on the battlefield and everyone made mistakes. The important thing was that they could learn, reflect, and grow from their mistakes and lead more soldiers to fight more beautiful battles.Don't just sit here and act like a coward.It was under Duan Xianfeng's comfort and encouragement that Shuangxi cheered up again.

In the early morning of October 30, 1952, less than 24 hours had passed since the counterattack. Cui Jiangong's combat report had not yet been submitted, and the chief of staff kept urging him.Qin Jiwei told the chief of staff that there should be no rush in fighting, haste makes waste, and the more detailed the battle report, the more detailed it must be.On the other side, Cui Jiangong read the battle plan to Nie Jifeng, and Nie Jifeng added that party members should lead the team.

Cui Jiangong issued a combat plan, and the cadres of the 15th Army and the 12th Army jointly studied Cui Jiangong's combat plan and gave corresponding adjustment opinions.Qin Jiwei asked Li Desheng for his opinion. Li Desheng felt that investing too much troops would cause unnecessary casualties. Qin Jiwei immediately sent Cui Jiangong a revised policy.

On the eve of the counterattack, Feng Baisheng and Shuangxi held a pre-war mobilization meeting in their respective tunnels. They told everyone that victory often requires waiting, but they must have faith and express their determination with bold words to resist U.S. aggression, aid Korea, defend their country, and overthrow U.S. imperialism.The American emperor will never go home until he is destroyed.

Qin Jiwei believed that the position eventually belonged to them, but instead of fighting against the enemy, they had to inflict the most painful blow to the enemy at a small price, killing and annihilating the enemy's effective forces. The battle must be fought, and all positions must be restored and victory achieved..Because in Qin Jiwei's view, the battle can only end when the enemy stops attacking, and the troops will not be withdrawn until complete victory.

As early as two days before the counterattack, Qin Jiwei ordered artillery fire to attack the enemy at noon every day. Firstly, it effectively destroyed part of the opponent's fortifications and could not fully recover; secondly, it made the enemy accustomed to the daily shelling by the volunteers, thus creating a paralyzing mentality and weakening the enemy.We are ready to cover today's big counterattack.

At this moment, the American and Korean troops were still drinking and having fun, looking at pictures of beautiful women, without any awareness of the approaching danger.After the artillery fire, Jin Zhuxuan felt that something was not right today, but the division commander Ding Yiquan was about to be transferred away. He ignored Jin Zhuxuan's words and told him to report to the new leader tomorrow if he had anything to do. Jin Zhuxuan had to ask Jin Inpyo to rush to repair the fortifications.

There were only four hours left before the major counterattack. Li Desheng and Deputy Chief of Staff He Guanghua paid close attention to the whole process. This time Qin Jiwei continued the bombing for five hours, obviously spending a lot of money.Duan Xianfeng waited for the enemy to repair the fortifications and then reported the specific coordinates to the artillery. The two sides cooperated closely to accurately attack the enemy, eliminate a large number of infantry, and give the Korean army great lethality.

That night, the two armies concentrated more than 100 mountain artillery, howitzers, field artillery, rocket launchers and mortars. After giving an order, they fired at the target - 597.9 Highland. The ground shook.The soldiers looked at the violently shaking tunnel and listened to the explosions one after another in their ears. Even if they were sitting on the ground, they could not steady themselves. Their ears were already buzzing from the shock, but they were elated, clenched the guns in their hands, and prepared.Charge at any time.

Duan Xianfeng pretended to charge and blew the charge horn, attracting a large number of enemies, and then called for artillery to conduct a full-scale bombing. The power of Katyusha frightened the enemies.Every subsequent step was within the plan, and the tactics were quite successful, catching the enemy off guard and causing extremely heavy casualties.Then Shuangxi and Feng Baisheng led the soldiers to rush into the position, fought fiercely with the enemy, and captured one position after another until they reached the No. 3 position on the main peak.

Episode 21

Because the firepower of the No. 3 position was too fierce, platoon leader Chang Dayou died heroically to cover everyone. Feng Baisheng endured his grief and continued to charge.Duan Xianfeng, who was also on the front line, called for artillery fire support while leading young soldiers to fight in roundabout ways. During this period, he was almost attacked by the enemy. In order to save Duan Xianfeng, soldier Sun Yaozu would rather give up his own life and shoot the enemy behind Duan Xianfeng.

In the end, the loss of position No. 3 shocked the enemy, who then launched a fierce counterattack.Fortunately, the volunteers were united and not only defended their position, but also captured position 7 of the enemy's command center.In this counterattack, the enemy only had positions No. 2, No. 8 and No. 11 left. Li Desheng was greatly shocked and lamented that the 15th Army was really good at being able to make a comeback against the wind in five hours.

Beginning on October 30, the Battle of Shangganling shifted to the third stage of implementing a decisive counterattack, crushing the enemy's attack, and fully restoring all positions except Position 11, laying a solid foundation for the later counterattack at Highland 537.7.On the evening of November 1, the 91st Corps of the Twelfth Army joined the battle at Highland 597.9, and the Twelfth Army began to gradually take over the battle from the Fifteenth Army.

After today's battle, Qin Jiwei judged that the enemy may have three situations. One is to withdraw its troops due to excessive casualties, and there is no longer a second echelon;The Ninth Division and the Second South Division cannot seize the position; so in the end, it is possible that the US Seventh Division will increase its investment and join the battle at Highland 597.9. No matter which of the above situations, it is estimated that it will be confirmed within two days.

News of the victory spread from the battlefield to the rear. Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai were also paying close attention. They believed that the battle near the Five Sacred Mountains had developed into a battle scale. The Fifteenth Army's combat deployment was very correct. It must be based on the Central Military Commission's instructions.To honor the 15th Army in name and encourage it to continue fighting and achieve overall victory.Shiji sent a commendation order to the 15th Army, which greatly excited the commanders and soldiers.Because of this, the U.S. and South Korean armies had no troops available, and Van Fleet could only mobilize one more battalion.

Qin Jiwei, Zhang Yunyu and the cooking team made dumplings together to welcome the victorious Eighth Company soldiers. Unexpectedly, only Feng Baisheng, Shuangxi, Duan Xianfeng and others returned.A battle lasted from dusk to dawn. Originally, the Eighth Company had a total of 138 men, and 335 additional troops were added. In the end, only eight men left the position, which is enough to show the brutality of the battle.

When Qin Jiwei was serving dumplings to the soldiers, he felt very sad when he thought of so many people who had sacrificed their lives.Everyone ate dumplings and recalled Hu Mancang with tears in their eyes. Fan Yuanbao and others even started crying.But Qin Jiwei told everyone to eat more, eat well, and eat it all for those comrades who died.

Then the Eighth Company and the soldiers of the Twelfth Army exchanged defenses. Duan Xianfeng and others took the Eighth Company's flag back to the tunnel, because it was not only a red flag, but also the soul of the Eighth Company. It was the more than four hundred comrades who sacrificed here.Forged with blood and life, take it home no matter what.

After the Twelfth Army took full defense, the U.S. Army and the South Korean Army launched a counterattack. The soldiers of the Twelfth Army resolutely attacked the invading enemy.Cai Xinghai, deputy squad leader of the 8th Company of the 91st Regiment, used flexible tactics and grenade tactics to annihilate a large number of enemies in a situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak.

However, the enemy's offensive became more and more fierce, especially the scattered operations, coupled with the US rear bombing.So Cai Xinghai led everyone to evacuate quickly and hid in the fortifications. He thought of countermeasures as quickly as possible and decided to gather them all together and then carry out an encirclement attack.

Episode 22

Cai Xinghai arranged for the soldiers to use firepower to gather the enemy troops, and then used grenades to create air explosions, thereby holding the position.On the other hand, the U.S. military's counterattack failed and its reserves were completely exhausted. Starting from October 14, Van Fleet deployed seventeen battalions of troops one after another. Not only did there not be any substantial advancement, but the number of casualties continued to soar. Today, only seven U.S. battalions are left.division, the 187th Regiment and eight companies of the Han 9th Division.

Now that Eisenhower has won the election, Van Fleet knows that he will soon order the front line to stop attacking, so he knows that now is the final sprint stage, and orders the reorganization of the army to fight to the death, and must win the Triangle Mountain (597.9 Heights) at all costs., You must not end your career with a failure, let alone return to the United States as a loser.

On the other side, Qin Jiwei, Li Desheng, and Cui Jiangong analyzed the battlefield situation. Cui Jiangong reassured Li Desheng that there were no problems with the tunnel and the soldiers could still hold on.Qin Jiwei believes that the Battle of Shangganling is about casualty rate and ammunition capacity. Originally, their ammunition capacity was one-seventeenth of the enemy's, but now they have caught up to one-third. Although there is still a gap, they can still fight, andArtillery is much more accurate than the Yankees, waiting until the enemy is almost exhausted before striking hard.

As casualty reports continued to be delivered to Van Fleet, Van Fleet personally came to the field hospital to visit the wounded soldiers. The scene was chaotic and tragic.At this time, United Nations Commander Clark called and asked Van Fleet to immediately stop the attack on Triangle Mountain. It was time for the showdown operation to end. The new president would make his own considerations. Upon seeing this, Jenkins directly ordered all troops to retreat.

On November 6, 1952, the United Nations Army, led by the United States, held a press conference to announce the failure of the Triangle Mountain battle. However, at Sniper Ridge (North Mountain of 537.7 Highlands), the United Nations Army still had the advantage. In order to preserve the last victory, theyAn even more crazy battle started.

mao Zedong was overjoyed when he learned that the 15th Army was also commended by General Zhishi. Qin Jiwei used this battle as a summary. In the future, he will continue to win on the basis of the previous victory, pay more attention to the improvement of tactics in command, and achieve smaller results.His sacrifices brought greater victory, so that the enemy no longer dared to joke on the hero's position.Qin Jiwei solemnly handed over the task of holding on to 597.9 and counterattacking 537.7 to Li Desheng. The two commanded together and cherished each other.

The U.S. military did not take advantage on the battlefield, so they resorted to the most despicable method, which was to drop bacterial bombs many times in the volunteer army's defense area, causing the spread of plague. As a result, plague broke out in a village in Anju County, and thirty-six people died..In order to save the life of the little squirrel brought back from the tunnel, the soldiers of the Eighth Company endured the pain and released it even though they were reluctant to give it up.

Afterwards, the soldiers all received the things sent by their families. Qin Jiwei distributed crispy candies to the children in the village and gave some to Qin Jiwei, hoping to implore him to write a letter of recommendation for Double Happiness to attend the military academy.Qin Jiwei couldn't help but wonder why Duan Xianfeng recommended Shuangxi, and asked him what kind of soldier he thought he was.Duan Xianfeng believed that Qin Jiwei was a soldier born for revolution and fighting. Qin Jiwei was very satisfied and readily agreed.

When Du Wenjin went to pick up the package, he saw Duan Xianfeng's signature, and even found halva in the hands of a local North Korean child. He wanted to look for Duan Xianfeng, but missed it again.Duan Xianfeng replied to the temple student. He told his daughter that fighting was for dignity and not to be bullied by the powerful. Peace was never negotiated, but fought with guns. Only in this way could we save our homeland.

At this moment in Geoje Island, Mo Yuan contacted the second lieutenant of the Southern Army who was instigating rebellion from our army, and with the help of the other party, he successfully obtained evidence - the photo negatives taken by the enemy after the massacre in the prisoner of war camp.At the same time, the Eighth Company began to train new recruits, and Duan Xianfeng was very pleased that Fan Yuanbao was able to serve as an instructor alone.Shuangxi was in a depressed mood, so Duan Xianfeng had a heart-to-heart talk with him and expressed his intention to send him to a military academy. Shuangxi felt awkward and moved at the same time.

Episode 23

Because Feng Baisheng would soon leave the Eighth Company and return to the Third Company, all the members of the Eighth Company saw him off and drank from the same bottle of wine.Duan Xianfeng and Feng Baisheng initially disliked each other, but then shared weal and woe and developed a life-long friendship. Duan Xianfeng was reluctant to let Feng Baisheng go, but he didn't know how to express his emotions. In the end, they all hugged each other and could not let go of their comrades.

Ever since Van Fleet announced that the Battle of Triangle Mountain had failed, everyone from Syngman Rhee to Kim Joo-hyun was unconvinced.None of them wanted to give up, but wanted to fight to the end, but there was no support. Kim Joo Hyun was so angry that he had to intercept the arms halfway, and found a 106.7 mm chemical mortar gas bomb.The news reached Van Fleet's ears, but he was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Not only did he order South Korea to arrest people without being bossy, he even sent people to send hundreds of tons of artillery shells to Jin Zhuxuan.

Mo Yuan returned to the north of the 38th parallel with evidence of the massacre, but was infected with the plague virus when passing through the blockade.Fortunately, the 15th Army found Mo Yuan and immediately isolated and rescued him. Qin Jiwei learned that Mo Yuan had regained consciousness and insisted on entering the isolation ward to express condolences to Mo Yuan despite the dissuasion of others.

The current negotiations between the Volunteer Army and the United Nations Army are stuck on the issue of prisoners of war, so this film contains evidence that the US military tortured and killed prisoners of war in prisoner of war camps, which will play a vital role in the negotiations.Qin Zhiwei reassured Mo Yuan that the hospital would do its best to treat him and ensure that he could return to the negotiating table in good health.

When Shuangxi was sorting supplies, he saw white-lined gloves, and the logistics veteran who transported supplies, Zeng Dazhi, came to mind. At that time, in order to divert enemy planes away, he detonated a truck alone to light up the sky for the air defense troops, and died in a sea of ​​​​fire.After this incident, Shuangxi finally understood that the logistics troops, like the frontline troops, would regard death as home when facing the enemy.

At this moment, news suddenly came, ordering the Eighth Company to assemble urgently and immediately reinforce 537.7 Highland (Beishan).Shuangxi summoned all the soldiers and announced that they would return to the battlefield from now on. Before setting off, everyone held high the red flag and called for resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, defending their home and country, and marching forward mightily.

Soon, Duan Xianfeng and Shuangxi led the Eighth Company to reinforce the Twelfth Army. Deputy Division Commander Li Changlin saw the arrival of the Eighth Company and was very enthusiastic and invited them to share their experience.The two sides agreed on a combat plan, and Duan Xianfeng planned to direct the artillery fire and eventually plant the flag on the enemy's position.As a large number of enemies rushed to the position, they triggered the explosive array arranged by Shuangxi, and they were bombed one after another. Shuangxi also threw grenades frantically. Who knew that Jin Zhuxuan ordered the troops to throw gas bombs.

Li Desheng, He Guanghua and others arranged to command the counterattack at Highland 537. Qin Jiwei came to discuss with Li Desheng whether the counterattack could be advanced, even one minute in advance, to reduce the casualties of the soldiers.Although the two had different opinions, Li Desheng chose to compromise and told Li Changlin that he must fight back on the 11th. In addition, if conditions permit, he should make an immediate decision and launch a counterattack in advance.

On a snowy night, Gao Fengliang wrote on each shell to prepare for the counterattack again.By noon of the next day, heavy snow covered the entire mountainous area. Li Changlin decided to counterattack two hours in advance. Li Desheng asked He Guanghua to call Qin Jiwei quickly to tell him the good news.

There are only forty minutes left before the counterattack. Jin Zhuxuan has also received this information and has already prepared for it. He is not worried about the Chinese counterattack at all.When the time came, the rear artillery regiment began to bombard wildly. The Eighth Company cooperated with the infantry and artillery to attack, and quickly annihilated one company of the Puppet 31st Regiment, and recaptured the No. 11 position on the 597.9 Highland. Qin Jiwei, Li Desheng and others also paid close attention to the rear.and command.

Episode 24

Now the Seventh Company has captured the No. 1 and No. 2 positions in Beiling, but all the cadres of their company have been sacrificed, and the number of personnel has dropped sharply.After Duan Xianfeng received the news, he realized that the enemy's reinforcements would continue to flow, and he needed to fight in a roundabout way as soon as possible to suppress the enemy's firepower. The only way was to use himself as a target to attract artillery fire to fall accurately on the position.

But when Duan Xianfeng raised this point, Shuangxi was the first to object, thinking that the distance of fifty meters was too short, and there was no difference between him doing this and committing suicide.In the end, at Duan Xianfeng's insistence, Shuangxi had no choice but to agree to let him reduce the safe distance of artillery shells. Duan Xianfeng, as the forefront artillery observer, immediately contacted Gao Fengliang and once again emphasized that fifty meters was the best distance for infantry and artillery coordination.

In order to get the leader to agree, Gao Fengliang followed Duan Xianfeng's instructions and temporarily concealed the decision to shorten the distance from 70 meters to 50 meters. Apart from them, only Du Wenjin knew about this.Du Wenjin knew that this decision meant that Duan Xianfeng was ready to sacrifice. Duan Xianfeng was also analyzing the ballistics in the snowy weather and trying to find a way to provide a clear target to the observation post, so he asked Du Wenjin to tell the artillerymen to pay attention to the red flag.

On the smoke-filled battlefield, Duan Xianfeng marched forward holding the red flag and asked the artillerymen to fire after the red flag.Faced with the splash of shell fragments, even though his whole body was covered with blood and the shrapnel penetrated deeply into his body, he still did not flinch at all. He always led the artillery fire through the enemy's defense lines with firm belief and fearless courage, and fought hard.With the last bit of strength, he raised the red flag and fell to the ground.

The victory of the Battle of Shangganling completely shattered the United Nations' Jinhua Offensive, dealt a heavy blow to the enemy, created an example of defensive operations in the history of modern warfare in the world, and created the famous Battle of Shangganling spirit.After the 12th Army and the 15th Army changed defenses, they continued to compete with the enemy at the Battle of Shangganling and became the main force of the battle. Facing the enemy's attack, they stood firm and adopted brave defense and counterattack tactics, fighting withThe enemy conducted many fierce hand-to-hand battles and repelled the enemy's attack with their tenacious will and tenacious fighting spirit.

After the Twelfth Army took over the Battle of Shangganling, the United Nations Army launched multiple large-scale attacks and launched frantic counterattacks at the 597.9 and 537.7 positions. However, under the tenacious resistance of the Twelfth Army, nothing was achieved. The two positions were finally closed at tenIn the hands of the Second Army.After this battle, the Twelfth Army wiped out more than 12,000 enemies in total, and many heroes emerged in the battle: Hu Xiudao, Cui Changhai, Jiang Yongde, Zeng Pingzhang, Liu Baocheng, and many other soldiers who risked their livesThey used their own flesh and blood to build iron walls and resolutely defended the heroic positions. Their heroic fighting will and superb tactical literacy dealt a heavy blow to the enemy, forcing the United Nations Army to fight in 1952.On November 23, the offensive in the direction of Battle of Shangganling was stopped.

After the war, Qin Jiwei issued a commendation order for the war heroes.
