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.
