Hu Yu saw several people walking here with lanterns from the car window, and he knew that this was the person who had come to the meeting.

When everyone arrived, he opened the car door, stretched out half of his body, took out the map and put it on his lap in the car, afraid that it would get wet from the rain.

He deliberately glanced at the bearded leader, and when his eyes met, he immediately lowered his head. He knew that the guide hadn't been found, and if he did, he would report it right away.

He didn't ask, he didn't want to embarrass him, the big war was coming, and it was the time to employ people. He felt that he would try his best to find it, but my volunteers went abroad to fight, and it was raining heavily because they were unfamiliar with the place, and even the soldiers who went to find the guide could not be called too far, and if they went too far, they might turn back and not find the troops.

Everyone circled him, he didn't know how this would go, there was no guide, there were no stars and moons, it was raining heavily, on the barren mountains of a foreign country, just relying on this little inaccurate map, how to bring the troops to the exact position.

He marked the direction on the map, determined the direction with a compass, and still arranged for the bearded regiment commander to be the leader.

Ordered all the baggage to be left at the bottom of the mountain. And left a battalion to help carry the cannons up the mountain, these fifteen 75mm cannons, but his housekeeping capital.

Although it is half the muzzle of the 150-millimeter cannon of the United States and South Korea, if there is no artillery, the casualties of the enemy will be several times or even dozens of times that of the enemy in a war with the United States and South Korea.

This is because the US and South Korean troops not only have larger cannons than the volunteers, but also have several times more artillery than the volunteers.

And their transport force is much stronger than that of the volunteer army. The ammunition that the volunteers used to go to the front line relied on people to transport it, while the US and South Korean troops relied on cars and helicopters.

Therefore, for each campaign preparation, the volunteers can only prepare about a week's ammunition, and if the campaign exceeds a week, the troops will have no ammunition available.

And the US and South Korean armies, they fight without hesitating shells. On the battlefield, artillery shells always open the way, causing more casualties in each battle of the volunteers than domestic combatants.

Especially in winter, when it is more than 30 degrees below zero, in order to prevent the barrel of the machine gun from freezing and shrinking, the machine gun of the volunteer soldiers is wrapped in old cotton clothes.

The U.S. and South Korean armies, on the other hand, stipulate that a gun should be fired with a shuttle bullet at a small time. There are no roads on the steep slopes at all, only the paths made by the local villagers who went up the mountain to cut timber before the war.

Since the beginning of the invasion of North Korea by the United States and South Korea, there have been several battles here, and the artillery fire has blown up the entire mountain with potholes, the stones are as sharp as knives, and the plants have not grown a single inch of grass that has been burned by the fire.

Only thorns, a plant with a particularly strong vitality, are overgrown on the slopes of the hills, and this kind of thing is not afraid of drought or waterlogging, and no matter how people destroy it, even if it is burned by fire, it still sends out small shoots from the roots in the spring of the next year.

The most annoying thing is that he is full of thorny branches, when people go up the mountain, because there is no support, as long as the foot slips involuntarily, they have to grab it casually, and they will be pierced with small thorns or cut by stones, and the soldiers will shout and curse again and again.

The road up the mountain was rugged, and the troops lined up in a line, and climbed up the hill with difficulty. Hu Yu and Li Boru had no choice but to abandon the jeep and climb up the hill surrounded by guards and staff officers.

It was completely dark, and the guards, fearing for the chief's safety, lit a horse lantern and lit it in front. The lantern illuminates a limited area, especially on rainy days, and it is even more dim and dark, and it is impossible to see the road under your feet.

It looks like a smooth road, and the potholes are filled with rain. Hu Yu stepped on a depression, and the guards reacted quickly to hold him so that he didn't fall, and when he pulled his foot out, he poured a shoe of muddy water.

Hu Yu scolded. The commissar put a finger to his mouth

"Hush" and pointed at the warrior. He understood that he would not be allowed to curse among the fighters. There was really no way out of the rest of the place, so they had to stick in the middle of the troops.

In the heavy rain, the soldiers also did not notice that the commander-commissar was among them. The warrior walking in front suddenly turned his head and said, "Pass backwards, pay attention to your feet." Someone in front of him rolled down the hill. Hu Yu followed and passed down.

The further up the hill you go, the steeper and more winding the road becomes. He felt a chill run through his body. The higher the mountain, the stronger the wind, and the people who blow are shaky.

He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, it was past two o'clock. According to the order of the Volunteer Army Command, it was necessary to enter the position at six o'clock in the morning.

Because according to the intelligence of the Volunteer Army Command, the US and South Korean troops will pass here at 718 o'clock. He wanted to urge his troops to speed up, but he was worried about the safety of his soldiers.

When I was in a dilemma, I heard the sound of snoring as if I was asleep. He knew that it was common to fall asleep while walking during the day's march.

He was worried about falling asleep and rolling down the mountain. He took a few steps and patted the shoulder of the soldier in front of him: "Pass forward, the mountain is high and the road is slippery, don't fall asleep." "This soldier is the soldier who fell asleep and snoring just now, he was sleeping in a daze and was slapped by Hu Yu, and he was unhappy, so he called him to talk.

His eyes widened, and he didn't see anyone clearly: "Why did I listen to you?" The guard was just about to answer, but Hu Yu stopped him.

The practice of receiving troops on the march is generally that the commander in front finds something to pay attention to, and sends a message to the next one after another, but does not upload it.

If there is, it is mostly a prank of the fighters. He told the communicator walking behind him to tell the chief of staff to use a walkie-talkie to inform the bearded regiment commander in front.

The sky was overcast, and the rain was light, and it became a drizzle. Because it was early winter, the dawn was late.

He looked at his watch, and the time was also more than seven o'clock, which exceeded the time when the Volunteer Army headquarters entered the position at six o'clock.

He was very anxious, and looked at the map, and there must still be fifteen kilometers to the designated place of attack; That is, the entire army advanced twenty-five kilometers in one night.

At this rate, the troops had reached their destination by noon. He touched with the commissar, and then told the chief of staff that he ordered the bearded regiment commander, the 1.4.7th Company, to form an assault battalion, commanded by the commander of the 1st battalion, to run forward, and when he arrived at the place of attack, he immediately launched an attack without asking for instructions.

Since the founding of the People's Liberation Army, 1.4.7 has been composed of the strongest fighters. For example, an army is the 1.4.7th Regiment, and a division is the 1.4.7th Battalion; One regiment was the 1st, 4th, and 7th Company.

They are the best young men in each unit, with good bodies, flexible minds, excellent weapons, brave combat, and good offensive and defensive skills, which is the essence of the whole unit.

The commander of the first battalion took the order, gathered the team, and set off. They ran wildly until they reached the designated attack position at ten o'clock in the afternoon.

This is a road under two large mountains sandwiched between cliffs. The mountains on the east and west sides of the highway are dozens of meters higher than the road.

The U.S. and South Korean troops knew very well that this was the prelude to their northern invasion, so when they invaded the north, they had left troops here to build fortifications.

Now the retreat of the army south has made its importance even more apparent. They were worried that the Chinese and North Korean troops would seize the hill and block the US and South Korean troops retreating south, so they deployed heavy troops on the mountain and built fortifications day and night.

And on the north-south highway at the foot of the mountain, the American and South Korean troops, cars, tanks, artillery cars, and infantry, who were eager to pass, were swaggering through.

Because the mountains are not ventilated, the motor cars of cars and tanks, and the noise of troops rush straight up.
