Chapter Eighty-Three: Early News

The next day, I called the fighters up early to 'get up' and 'practice' with the other fighters, the intensity of the training was not very large, it was nothing more than running and practicing stabbing and so on, only five or six days, and it may not even be so long, so I knew very well that even if there was a good training method, it was useless.

And we need time to familiarize ourselves with the new gear we have. In the battle on the 585.2 heights, the equipment in the hands of the soldiers was basically damaged, and even my sniper rifle and M1911 could not be found. In fact...... I also know that even if I can find it, I'm afraid that the gun will probably not work. For the loss of the sniper rifle that has accompanied me for many years, I was separated from it without psychological preparation, and I felt a lot of bitterness in my heart.

Division Commander Pang can be said to be considerate of our cold-gun troops, and he investigated clearly what weapons we originally used, and transferred a large number of similar equipment to put in the arsenal for us to choose.

Hey, let's go into the armory and choose equipment, that scene is really shocking, machine guns, submachine guns, carbines...... All the guns that could be named in this era were all there, and the eyes of the soldiers were straight. Even in it I found the Soviet-style AK47. This thing has only been equipped with the Soviet army for a short time, and it is rarely supplied to the volunteer army, but it is now lying there and whatever we want......

Of course, a machine gun, submachine gun, or automatic rifle would be a good weapon for the average soldier, but for those of us sharpshooters, a long-range rifle is always the best choice.

There are also several sniper rifles, in addition to the common American M1C on the battlefield, there are also Soviet-style M1891 sniper rifles, I picked up a few and looked at them, the magnifying glass is 3.5 times, there are also 4 times, and some even have silencers......

For a sniper, the silencer is undoubtedly a big "lure" and "confusing", because it can hide itself well on the battlefield, so I almost chose it. But in the end, I resisted the impulse in my heart and grabbed a handful of M1C with a 3.5x magnification.

The biggest difference between an American-style sniper rifle and a Soviet-style sniper rifle is that a Soviet-style sniper rifle has to be wrenched with one shot...... For me, who is used to M1C, this is fatal. If I had chosen a Soviet-style sniper rifle, then on the battlefield I would have been accustomed to aim at the enemy and pull the trigger without reloading......

I couldn't tolerate making this mistake on the battlefield, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to adapt to a Soviet-style sniper rifle in a few days, so I gritted my teeth and grabbed an M1C.

As for the pistol, there is no doubt that the M1911 is chosen, its biggest advantage over the Tokarev pistol is that its grip is at an obtuse angle to the barrel, and the gun is stretched out straight out as soon as it is grabbed and the hand is stretched out to achieve the best 'shooting' angle. However, the grip of Tokarev's pistol is almost 90 degrees from the barrel, which makes it necessary for the gunner to have a "straight" wrist movement when he draws the gun, which will not only make the gunner "shoot" slowly, but also make the gunner very uncomfortable.

From this point of view, the design of American-style weapons is still more humane and more applicable than Soviet-style weapons. The Soviet-style weapons are designed to give full play to their advantages of having a large number of men and soldiers, emphasizing low cost and fast production speed.

As soon as I had picked out my guns, the fighters rushed up and snatched up all the rifles with scopes. Except for some fighters who had to choose a carbine because they had to carry night vision devices, the rest of the dozen fighters picked a rifle with a scope. Because most of the fighters were accustomed to the kind of rifle that can be pulled with one shot, the Soviet-style rifle was particularly popular. But what made me feel a little strange was that I noticed that when Jin Qiulian had a choice, she also chose the same M1C as me.

Why? Could it be that she is also used to American rifles? Even the Soviet-style rifle with a silencer and a 4x magnification is not an eye-catcher?

However, everyone has their own habit of using guns, maybe she also likes the convenience of the M1 rifle, and the sound of the Soviet-style sniper rifle loading the bullet is sometimes enough to make its owner 'exposed' position, so it is not surprising. Thinking of this, I also dispelled my doubts.

The cold gun unit fought a big battle and experienced several life-and-death struggles, which made every soldier appear to have a physical decline in strength, plus each soldier suffered a little injury, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. So my goal now is to let them recover their strength as soon as possible and get into the best fighting condition.

Fortunately, all the soldiers in the cold gun unit were selected from the army, and their physical fitness was very good, plus Commander Pang took special care of our troops in terms of food, so they were all alive and well in just two days. In addition, now that the ammunition is very abundant, the soldiers quickly became familiar with the weapons in their hands after feeding hundreds of rounds of ammunition on the shooting range.

It's just that it's still a little difficult for me to get familiar with the new rifle in my hand, the gun used to be used for too long, and I'm even used to its wooden handle is a little loose and the barrel is a little crooked, so every time I shoot the gun, it will naturally deviate a little to the left, if I use the gun before, it is a hundred shots, but now I have a new gun...... It's a bit awkward to fight, although it's also an M1C, and it's also with a scope......

However, this difficulty did not bother me, and the next day I quickly got used to it, and I also felt the solidity that the wooden handle no longer wobbled me, so I was able to do it again.

The soldiers originally vaguely felt that there would be some special tasks to be 'handed over' to them, but after seeing that I had not strengthened the intensity of training, they gradually dispelled their doubts and quickly integrated into the life of the troops.

"Hey comrades, have you heard?" That night, when the soldiers were about to go to bed, Yang Zhenshan rushed in from outside and shouted: "I heard that the Syngman Rhee group is scared by us, and we have agreed to sign the armistice negotiations."

"What? Are you telling the truth? Didn't they do it alone? The soldiers couldn't believe it when they heard the news.

"Is that fake?" Yang Zhenshan raised a newspaper in his hand and said, "This is all in the newspaper, and it's not like I'm talking nonsense......"

"Come on, squad leader Yang" Hu Zudi quipped: "I don't know you yet, I don't know a single basket of words, and I still read the newspaper and let's have fun."

"It's true...... It's already spread outside, so we don't know yet" Yang Zhenshan was so anxious that he danced, frowned when he was done, and handed the newspaper to me and said: "Commander, you know a lot of words, read it to us......"

"Yes, Commander, read it to us" The skeptical soldiers came up one after another and formed a circle around me.

I didn't think about it, and I knew that the news was true, but because Master Pang asked me not to 'revea' any of the content of the conversation, I didn't dare to say it. But now it seems that it was only a matter of time before the soldiers knew that Syngman Rhee had agreed to sign the armistice agreement.

I took the newspaper and saw that it was the "Volunteer Army Daily". This is the only newspaper published in the volunteer army, but because of our limited conditions and relatively backward transportation methods, the news in this newspaper often lags for several days. There are not many that can be sent to the soldiers, and I don't know where Yang Zhenshan got it.

But then again, since the soldiers of our 538th Regiment returned from the front, although the number has plummeted to more than 300 people, the reason why we use "more than 300 people" instead of a "precise" number is because there are still fighters whose wounds have deteriorated and are sent to field hospitals in the rear.

Although our numbers are small, we are all regarded as heroes by the soldiers of the brotherhood, especially the cold-gun troops who infiltrated the puppet army White Tiger Regiment to destroy its regimental headquarters and surrender the regimental flag. Any soldier in the cold gun unit will go out at random, and the soldiers in the other unit will rush to introduce the combat experience or tell the battle process.

I saw that Liu Yangxing, who can speak well, said that his eyebrows were flying and dancing in a 'chaotic manner', this guy hadn't participated in that battle yet, so he said it as if it was true. There were a large number of volunteer soldiers around me, all with reverent eyes, sometimes applauding, sometimes applauding, sometimes applauding, among which there were also cadres such as company commanders, battalion commanders, and chief of staff, and I was a little dizzy when I saw it

What is the shadow of a famous tree, I understand when I look at it like this.

Therefore, it is not too easy for Yang Zhenshan to get a copy of the "Volunteer Army Daily" now. Not to mention that he personally participated in the battle of the surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment, with the name of the Seventh Company Cold Gun Unit, he was qualified to let the soldiers of the Brother Regiment offer this newspaper.

I have to affirm that this is absolutely not corruption, but a heartfelt manifestation of the soldiers in the army borrowing heroes and valuing heroes

I took the "Volunteer Army Daily" and glanced at it under the dim kerosene lamp, and soon found a few eye-catching big words on the headline: "Syngman Rhee's clique is forced to compromise, and the armistice agreement is about to be signed."

This is my first reaction, which may still be a highly secretive matter at present, and I will only notify the troops after the signing is completed

"Leader, read it quickly, we can't wait"

"Yes, Captain, is there such a thing?"

……

"Yes" At the urging of the soldiers, I nodded and read: "During the Battle of Jinseong, in the face of the powerful offensive of our volunteer soldiers, the South Korean puppet army led by Syngman Rhee's group was defeated. In this battle, our army killed, wounded and captured more than 78,000 enemies, captured 45 tanks, 279 automobiles, and 1 aircraft......"

"And the plane, and the plane...... "The soldier said excitedly as he listened to me carefully.

"423 'guns' of various kinds of artillery, more than 7,400 guns of all kinds ......"

"Wow" Hearing this, the soldiers coaxed: "These weapons can be equipped with a division"

"Don't make noise, don't make noise, continue to listen to the leader"

"Uh-huh," I cleared my throat and continued: "178 square kilometers of land have been recovered, and our army has suffered 33,253 casualties, with a casualty ratio of 2.3:1. This operation made the enemy realize that they could not recover their defeat on the Korean battlefield. As the chairman pointed out: the enemy is at a disadvantage, under beating. If there is no peace, their entire front will be broken, and Seoul may fall into the hands of the Korean people." The facts have fully demonstrated that Chairman ***'s instructions are correct, and this battle is a major political and military victory for our army, and this victory has forced the enemy to give our side a guarantee to implement the armistice agreement. The Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition Army, Clark, wrote that "the terms of the armistice will be respected". U.S. Representative Harrison also made a clear assurance: 'South Korea...... The implementation of the draft agreement will not be obstructed in any way'......"

Of course, in the end, he also talked about the compromising attitude of the Syngman Rhee group, and I only heard the cheers of the soldiers one after another. But when I saw this, I began to get distracted: it seems that the attitude of the United Nations forces ultimately depends on the United States. Obviously, the United States is now very resolute in its desire to cease the war, and even if Syngman Rhee takes the risk of tying the UN troops to the chariot again, the result does not seem to be as he hoped.

I think the most capable ending is to annoy the Yankees, who are masters, and use assassination to get rid of Syngman Rhee, and then put a new president in power. In fact, I know from modern sources that the CIA has even drawn up an assassination and coup against Syngman Rhee.

This is obviously in the interests of the United States, because they do not want this war to drag on any longer, nor do they want to sink deeper and deeper into this quagmire. Since that's the case...... So does Syngman Rhee still dare to carry out his assassination plan?

According to common sense, Syngman Rhee would not dare to do this, because everyone knows that he is now just a puppet of the US government, which really makes the Americans unhappy, but he can do everything.

But...... Syngman Rhee is a disobedient puppet, because he is not a smart politician, he does not know what position he stands in, and he does not know that the Americans can put him on the stage, of course, they can also drive him out of power, and even take his life.

The facts are exactly what I thought, because soon after the end of the Korean War, Syngman Rhee fully implemented ** rule under the nose of the Yankees, and used unimaginable retarded intelligence to 'provoke' the anger of the whole country, and was disgusted by the United States behind him, and finally became a loner in just a few years, and reluctantly stepped down. One of the most ironic things is that he actually used the rounding method of elementary school students on the ballot.

With a person like him, can I still expect him not to do stupid things and distinguish between the current situation of friend and foe? So a little luck that just appeared in my heart quickly calmed down like pouring cold water.

I don't know why, but at this time I really hope that Syngman Rhee will be smarter and more politically savvy...... Because if that were the case, he wouldn't have done something as stupid as an assassination.

"Commander, is this saying that the war is about to end?"

"Yes, Captain, does this mean that we will be able to go home soon?"

……

The warriors asked excitedly one by one. After being on the battlefield for so long, experiencing so many lives and deaths, especially now that I am still fighting abroad, far away from my hometown and relatives, who doesn't want to go back to see my wife and children, and besides, the news I hear now seems to be that the Korean War is going to end forever, and there will be no need to fight anymore after returning home, and anyone who knows this will be crazy and cheer for it. Not to mention the soldiers who shed their blood for this war.

"Squad Leader Yang, what do you want to do most after returning to China?"

"What I want most is to hold my wife and children for three days and three nights and not go out"

There was a coax, and the soldiers burst into laughter.

Some soldiers said, "Look at your virtue, you will know to go home and hug the bed."

Some soldiers said: "It's no wonder that Squad Leader Yang, I haven't seen him for almost three years, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, if this is me, I won't go out for a month......"

The warriors were talking and laughing happily, and every corner of the wooden house was filled with cheerful laughter,

"What kind of fame," I stood up and yelled fiercely, "Don't you even sleep?" The lights out horn has been blown and you haven't heard it? Is there any organization 'sex' discipline 'sex'? All of them put out the lights and go to bed......"

"Yes" The soldiers responded, not daring to disobey the order, and one after another blew out the nearby kerosene lamps and got into the bed.

"I order you to ......" I got into the bed, thought about it and sat up again, and shouted viciously: "All of you have to fall asleep, and if you can't sleep, you will get up and cross the country for five kilometers."

"Yes," the warrior replied, and was silent.

But I also know very well in my heart that it is very difficult to want them to fall asleep in this situation at this time. The war is coming to an end, and we are alive and will soon be able to go back and see our own families...... What kind of excitement and joy this is, so the soldiers are all sharpshooters with super psychological qualities, and they have to play a small drum in their hearts at this time.

That's what I'm worried about, because I know they have to go to war, and they may not be able to go home to see their loved ones. It might be better for them not to know the news.

Of course, I couldn't sleep in this situation either. So when there was the sound of car brakes outside the 'door' and a few hurried footsteps coming straight for our barracks, I and all the soldiers who were pretending to be asleep sat up from the 'bed'.

"Commander Cui" came in with Master Pang, who stood at the entrance of the 'door' and ordered in a low voice with an unquestionable voice: "Gather immediately, and leave in five minutes"
