    The snowflakes are falling bigger and bigger, and the night seems much brighter in the snowy weather, making people always feel like there is a red light in front of them.  However, in this dense snowflake, it will block people's sight even during the day. At this time, if you don't get closer, you can't see the shadow of the person opposite within five meters.

    When the order to withdraw from the siege was sent to the 640th Regiment, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. The gunshots all around suddenly stopped, and the entire wilderness fell into silence, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

    After failing to block enemy reinforcements, the 640th Regiment was urgently transferred back to Wangmei Mountain by Qian Xiongfeng.  Because of the weather at that time, it started to snow, and the enemy planes also stopped bombing the Wangmeishan position.  In order to control this important position south of Dipingli, Qian Xiongfeng still clearly realized that he must take advantage of this opportunity to reoccupy Wangmei Mountain in preparation for another attack at night.  And just when Qian Xiongfeng sent a regiment to reoccupy Wangmei Mountain, the Americans in Diping also climbed up as soon as the plane bombing stopped. The two sides started fighting on the hilltop that was already littered with corpses.  In close combat, Qian Xiongfeng also sent another regiment in his hand. In order to be more sure, he had to send a correspondent to notify Commander Zhai to ask the 640th Regiment to also kill a carbine and seize the Wangmei Mountain position.

    After repeated battles, the 214th Division finally repelled the enemy's attack. However, just when it wanted to take a breath, it received an order to withdraw from the siege.  The squad leaders and platoon leaders who were fighting in full swing couldn't help but started to curse, but the many soldiers felt like a mountain was being pulled down, and every one of them let out a long breath.

    At this time, in the temporary command post of the U.S. military in Tuipingli, Paul's arm was wrapped with a collapse belt and he was discussing tonight's battle plan with Captains Hoffman and Richardson. Although Captain Hoffman was with his people,  and tanks rushed into Toipingri, but the arrival of the twelve tanks was as if they had not arrived. There was not enough ammunition to use, and the infantry brought in, although there were twenty-three people, there were twelve more  They are wounded. From a tactical point of view, the arrival of this support force will not play any role in the defensive operations of Toipingri tonight. On the contrary, these extra tanks and personnel will have to share the already limited supplies of the defenders.  and ammunition, but Wangmei Mountain in the south has still not been recaptured. There is a gate of hell. The Chinese may rush down the mountain from that direction at any time and attack Toipingri in one fell swoop.

    "We can only place you on the north side of the railway embankment in the south!" Paul said to Captain Hoffman. At this time, what he was most worried about was the breakthrough from the south. Wangmei Mountain had become his pet peeve. During the day,  He did not capture it. When night came, he had no idea of ??recapturing that position. He knew that if he attacked blindly, he would suffer greater losses. Instead of doing so, it was better to strengthen the defense here.

    Captain Hoffman nodded and said obediently: "I follow your orders!"

    Hearing such a humble attitude from his old friend, Paul was very satisfied. He suddenly thought of his fellow countryman Tom. Tom and Captain Hoffman were classmates, although Tom's intelligence was higher than that of Captain Hoffman.  Above Colonel Mann, but far less obedient to the command than Captain Hoffman, this became the point where the fates of Tom and Hoffman were different. Tom was only a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander until his death, while Hoffman was  One level higher than him.  In the army, sometimes people's talents are indeed needed, but at critical times, it depends on the subordinates' obedience to the orders of their superiors. In this regard, Captain Hoffman is far better than Tom.

    "Are there any other arrangements?" Captain Richardson asked, looking at Paul's face with sunken eye sockets.

    However, at this time, Paul seemed not to hear. He was dazing with his ears sideways and did not answer for a long time.

    "Colonel!" Richardson couldn't help but shout in a louder voice.

    It was as if Paul was waking up from a dream, and he came to his senses and looked at him blankly.

    "Colonel, what are you thinking about?" Captain Hoffman couldn't help but asked curiously.

    Paul did not answer immediately. He just paused and asked the two group leaders in front of him: "Listen to the two of you. Is there anything wrong?"

    Richardson and Hoffman also pricked up their ears, but for a long time, the two of them didn't notice anything. They looked at each other and shook their heads together.

    "Gunshots?" Paul reminded them: "Why are there no gunshots?"

    Richardson and Hoffman just woke up from a dream, and they shouted almost at the same time: "Yes, why are there no gunshots?"

    For the past two days and two nights, I have been surrounded by? warned him: "It is very foolish for us to take the initiative to fight the Chinese at night." He said, and then said very cautiously: "Our task now is to stick to Dipingli, the Chinese seem to be coming with all kinds of tricks.  , maybe this is also a plan of theirs. Commander Richardson, go immediately and send an order to all the troops, asking everyone to be more vigilant. You must not take it lightly until the enemy has truly withdrawn!"

    "Yes!" Captain Richardson replied loudly.

    The clouds are low and it is dusk, and the snow is dancing in the wind.

    Amidst the flying snow, Zhang Xian and two soldiers held torches and accompanied Xiong Sanwa back to the highway pass on the right side of Wangmei Mountain. They climbed from the cliff regardless of the steep slope.  After rolling down, everyone's bodies were covered with snow. Xiong Sanwa was the first to get up from the ground, with tears on his face. He breathed heavily, dropped the torch in his hand, and ran forward hurriedly.  When I went there, I accidentally fell down in the snow, but as if I didn't realize it, I got up and once again ran towards the side of the road along the direction of my memory.

    Zhang Xian followed Xiong Sanwa closely, holding an unextinguished torch. He could not see the direction clearly and could only vaguely distinguish the surrounding scenery. There was a bombed tank next to him, but at this time it was almost covered by heavy snow.  Cover the whole thing.  It should be here. As long as you find the mound that fell from the cliff, you can find Xiong Gegemin's body.

    "However, facing the white world all around, the scenery on both sides is almost exactly the same, and you can't see where the mounds of soil are at all.

    Xiong Sanwa seemed to be crazy. While crying, she dug desperately in the snow with her hands and threw her gloves on the snow.  The snow was very thick, but even when he dug to the bottom, he couldn't see a single shadow. He howled, not caring that his hands were already red and purple from the cold, and he changed his position and started digging vigorously.

    Zhang Xian and two soldiers were also searching in the snow. However, after searching for more than an hour, they almost turned over the snow on both sides of the road, but they turned out the bodies of two American soldiers. Xiong Revolutionary  But still no trace.

    Suddenly, Zhang Xian suddenly remembered: In order to open this blocked pass, the enemy's tanks fired at this side again. At that time, a large amount of earth rolled down the cliff. If Xiong Revolutionary's  The corpses were in this direction, either broken into pieces by shells and nowhere to be found, or buried deep under the earth.  However, if they clear these earthworks, it is not something that they can do in a short time. Even if they use a company of people to dig, it will take a long time; and facing the coming dawn, they have no time at all.  There are not many left. The troops will be transferred soon. If they fall behind at this time, what awaits them is either capture or death!

    "Second brother! -" Xiong Sanwa roared in despair. His tired and hungry body, overwhelmed by the anxiety, could no longer hold on, and fell headlong into the snow (Remember  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
