Chapter 15 Shoes

By the time I led the recruits up the cliff, the battle was over, and it took only a dozen minutes before and after the battle to break through the Combine's so-called "impregnable Imjin River" defense line.

Craters, corpses, broken barbed wire, and guns discarded by the puppet army as they fled, and wrecked cars constantly spewed black smoke into the sky, as if to indict the world about the evils of war.

Huzi and I finally pulled the recruits up one by one, and then sat down on the ground with a butt, that tired, fighting bayonets with the Yankees was not so tired, this is still leading the soldiers to fight, and I, the company commander, simply appointed myself as the chief nanny of the recruits.

"Company commander! Chase it! Huzi jumped to his feet in a hurry: "The people in our regiment have chased the puppet army to capture the prisoners, and they won't even be able to catch a fart if it's too late." ”

"Huzi!" I shook my head weakly, pointed to the recruits who were sitting next to me and shivering, and said, "Look at them, can we still chase them?" ”

"Company commander!" Huzi said in embarrassment: "Or...... Let them rest here, you take a few of our veterans to chase the enemy, how about it? ”

"That's not going to work!" Instructor Zhao shook his head and said, "Comrade, if we leave the recruit comrades behind to chase the enemy, I'm afraid that the recruits will no longer be able to keep up with us." Most of our company are new recruits, and the reason why our superiors handed them over to us is to let us take care of them, make amends, and train them to be organized and disciplined revolutionary fighters who can fight and kill. ”

"But...... This ......" Huzi looked at the group of recruits beside him for a while, and then at the large army that was gradually moving away, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Huzi! Instructor Zhao is right! I responded: "Most of our company are recruits, and we will lose the recruit comrades, and if the recruit comrades are in danger, our company will almost be gone." ”

"Alas!" As soon as Huzi took off his hat, he sat on the ground and sulked.

"Count the number of people in each row." I ordered: "As soon as possible, replace the shoes and cotton clothes that were wet when crossing the river, the shoes can be exchanged for the enemy's, and the military uniforms must be exchanged for the sacrificed comrades." Pay attention to mines, walk with craters and footprints, and set off after a ten-minute rest! ”

"Yes!" The three platoon commanders answered the call and went their separate ways.

I just wanted to stand up, but I only felt a chill under my feet, and when I looked at my feet, it turned out that my shoes were also soaked by the river, and then the whole shoes were frozen after being blown by the cold wind for a while, and the ice slag on the shoes fell straight down after taking two steps. I was nervous and didn't pay attention to the battle just now, and I only felt that my whole foot was frozen and I lost consciousness.

I sat down with a pair of suitable deerskin boots on the corpse of the enemy, took them off and sat down on the spot, and was about to change them into them, but I found that the rubber shoes were almost frozen on my feet, and I couldn't take them off no matter how I took them off.

"Huzi!"

"Here!"

"Come and do me a favor!" I gestured to the shoes on my feet.

"Yes!"

Huzi ran up and grabbed my shoes and pulled them, but even if he pulled me away, he still couldn't pull the shoes off.

"Stop......" I hurriedly stopped the tiger who still wanted to pull, this is not the way, as soon as I sat up, I found that I was not the only one in this situation, there were soldiers everywhere who were busy taking off their shoes.

"Company Commander Cui, you want to use this!" At this time, Jin Qiulian walked up and took a torch and roasted it on my shoes without saying a word.

After a few minutes of baking, I took it off lightly, and sure enough, it took it off, but it tasted like that! It actually caused an uproar among the fighters, and its impact was no less than the * bomb dropped by the American plane, because it directly kept the fighters around me more than ten meters away.

Actually, not to mention the soldiers, even I couldn't stand the smell myself, so I covered my nose, quickly put my feet in the snow and rubbed them, and then hurriedly put the boots on......

I'm sorry, I haven't washed my feet for almost a month, but which volunteer soldier isn't like this? Those recruits have not been here for a few days, and they don't know this fine tradition of our volunteers, and I think they will soon get used to it.

"Company Commander Cui!" When the company set off again, the instructor came up to me and said, "There are a lot more people in our team, there are more than 290 in total, and almost all the recruits in the regiment have been pulled down and picked up by us." ”

"Hmm!" I looked at the team behind me with some surprise, and sure enough, it "grown" a lot, but unfortunately it was still a little ineffective for the time being.

But veterans with combat effectiveness are not the same as recruits without combat effectiveness?

It quickly occurred to me that the third battle of the Volunteers was to rush all the way down and stop until they recaptured Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

The volunteers killed hard, and the supply line was also lengthened, from the original 100 kilometers to 400 kilometers. This directly led to the fact that our army was faced with no bullets to fight and no fried noodles to eat after seven or eight days, and then suffered heavy casualties in the fourth battle in which the enemy launched a counterattack.

With no bullets to fight and no dry food for days and nights, how much better can those well-trained veterans be than the recruits who have not been trained at all?

Hey! At this time, I saw that the ground was full of guns and ammunition dropped by the puppet army when they fled, and I couldn't help but be stunned, I knew that the volunteer soldiers would soon be short of food and ammunition, why didn't I save some for the future now?

The reason why the large army chasing the enemy's deserters in front did not pick up these guns and ammunition was to reduce the load and speed up the pursuit of the enemy; Second, it was because of the fear that the bullets supplied in the rear would not match the guns they used. Therefore, most of the volunteer soldiers knew that the big eight grains on the ground were better than the three eight big covers in their hands, but they didn't dare to replace them.

What they didn't know was that they were chasing the enemy all the way, and the logistical supply line was stretched too long for the bullets in the rear to be sent at all.

"All of them!" Thinking of this, I ordered: "Stop advancing, clean up the battlefield on the spot, throw away all the 38 big covers and unnecessary equipment in your hand, replace them with big 8 grains, and ask each soldier to bring at least ......"

Speaking of this, I stopped and weighed the M1 rifle in my hand, it weighed almost nine pounds, and it was not a problem for a soldier to bring four, so he continued: "Each soldier is required to bring at least four large eight guns, as many bullets as there are, bread, canned food, as much as you can eat!" If you can't take it away, you have to drag it to ......"

"Yes!" The recruits simply answered and scattered to clean up the battlefield.

"Damn!" I cursed in my heart, as long as you don't let you fight, just just obey the order, when will I let you learn all the skills I used to do.
