Chapter 40: The Presidential Palace

"Hello comrade!"

"Welcome, comrades!"

……

Speaking of this Seoul is really big, we only ran forward for more than half an hour before entering the city, originally thought that we might be connected to the defeat of the enemy's remnants, but we did not expect to enter the city as soon as we were surrounded by a group of people who could speak Chinese and held a five-star red flag.

"Comrade, are you the Chinese army?"

"Yes! We are the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. The soldiers replied cautiously, because of my warning, they still held their guns in their hands to keep the people too close.

"Great! Finally saw his troops. "Those people didn't care so much, as soon as they heard that we were China's army, they immediately cheered and rushed up, sending flowers and food, but the soldiers were at a loss for what to do, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"Comrade, we are also Chinese! I'm from Shandong! ”

"I'm from Sichuan!"

……

The people introduced one after another, and the soldiers knew that they were overseas Chinese living in a foreign country, and they couldn't help but relax their vigilance.

When I met my fellow countrymen in this foreign country, I inevitably said a few words cordially in my hometown dialect and pulled some homely things. But before he could say it for long, because he saw his fellow villagers and remembered his hometown, there were really many soldiers who snorted and shed tears. Especially those recruits, some of them even hugged their fellow villagers and cried a mess......

But I was the only one who watched without saying a word, nodding on the surface and talking to the fellow in front of me, but from time to time the corner of my eye glanced at a middle-aged man who covered his mouth and nose with a cotton hat.

It was not surprising that he covered his mouth and nose with a cotton hat, but the basket he carried in his hand was heavy, and it did not look like it contained food, and he had not opened the white cloth that had hidden it and took anything out of it.

Watching him squeeze into the crowd, I also approached him intentionally or unintentionally, and after a while, Xu Feng also came up with the troops, making this section of the street even more crowded and lively.

Maybe he saw that the time was ripe, and his right hand was about to reach into the basket, but as soon as he was about to move, I flew up and kicked the basket he was holding in his hand, and a zha medicine bag rolled out of it. Good fellow, if he succeeds in detonating it, I'm afraid that few people on this street will leave alive.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guy took out a pistol from his waist and was about to run, but was soon hit in the head by several volunteer soldiers with guns and fired his guns.

The folks soon understood what was happening.

"It's a spy!"

"Shoot him!" I don't know who took the lead and shouted first, and the villagers rushed up to the spy with anger and punched and kicked him, and the soldiers couldn't stop him. By the time the crowd had dispersed, the spy had already spat blood and fell to the ground, and it seemed that he only had half a life.

"Well done!" Xu Feng stepped forward and handed me a piece of paper: "This is the "Code of Discipline for Entering Seoul" issued by the Joint Command, and the whole army must abide by it!" ”

"Yes!" I saluted, picked up the rules and took a cursory look at them, and the general idea was that it was strictly forbidden to arrest and kill indiscriminately, not to enter private houses at will, to strictly prohibit indiscriminate shopping, and to earnestly implement the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and so on. I casually passed this document to Instructor Zhao, and it is more appropriate for the instructors to do this kind of political propaganda work.

In fact, even if this document is not issued, with the volunteer soldiers who have always been strict in governing the army, even if most of them are hungry, they will not do anything that damages their image. But the KPA is different, they are in a stage with a clear class position, and the reason why most of the people in Seoul will retreat with the puppet army this time, or even desperately retreat (it is very dangerous to wander with their families and mouths in the cold winter), has something to do with the terror brought to the people when the KPA occupied Seoul a few months ago.

"Comrade, where are you going?" The villagers enthusiastically asked, "We can't help much, it's okay to show you the way." ”

"Where is it?" Hearing this, Xu Feng and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, usually we just fight wherever there is an enemy, but now the enemies have run out and there is an empty city left, we really don't know where to go.

"That ......" thought for a while, and then I said, "Why don't we go to Syngman Rhee's presidential palace!" If you take the presidential palace, you will take Seoul, right? ”

"Hmm!" Xu Feng nodded in agreement, and the group rushed to the presidential palace under the leadership of the villagers.

The presidential palace is not far away, and the group ran on the road for more than half an hour before they came to a large iron gate. The iron door was unlocked, and the soldiers pushed it in, but as soon as they walked in, the soldiers were stunned.

In the middle is a street lamp, paved with stones, planted with various flowers and plants, next to the side of several paths connected with rockeries, pavilions, fountains, promenades...... Flowers and plants surround a large house like the White House, and it seems that this Syngman Rhee is not only ideologically pro-American, but also pro-American in this presidential palace.

"This ...... Is this a place where people live? The soldiers couldn't help but smack their tongues, they usually live in thatched huts and crowded air-raid shelters, how could they never imagine that there is such enjoyment in the world, looking at this house, this garden is simply like the place where the gods live.

Seeing this kind of pomp, they usually did not frown in the face of the enemy's aircraft and cannons, but they were frightened at this time, and they all cautiously moved forward with small steps, as if they were afraid that they would have to pay for the damage to some treasure.

This Syngman Rhee will really enjoy it, and I walked in front of the line with a big grin. It is said that when the KPA occupied Seoul six months ago, it would certainly have caused great damage to this presidential palace, and now it is only a little more than three months before he recovers Seoul.

When they entered the presidential palace, the soldiers screamed, and they saw the most magnificent house in the world: the living room, bedroom, dining room, study, piano, floor-to-ceiling satin curtains, and hundreds of gorgeous clothes and hundreds of pairs of leather shoes in the wardrobe. The floor-to-ceiling radio in the mansion was still on.

I pushed open a small door next to the bedroom, and found that it was a large bathroom of dozens of square meters, and the brazier for heating was still burning. Comrades......"

"Coax!" The soldiers cheered, and all of them took off their clothes and went to the bathroom, and if they were too crowded, they put a basin of hot water on the outside.

It's been more than a month, and the soldiers haven't taken a shower for more than a month since the start of the battle, and this time it finally got their wish, and the fighters laughed happily in the bathroom and splashed water on each other. The funny thing is that the radio outside is still shouting in Korean at this time: "After the Republic of Korea inflicted heavy losses on the red army, all of them were safely evacuated......"

At this point, the third battle ended, our army suffered more than 8,500 casualties (including more than 2,700 people of the Korean People's Army), and more than 19,000 enemies were annihilated, but most of them were puppet troops, with a casualty ratio of 0.43:1. Our troops advanced the front from the 38th parallel to the vicinity of the 37th parallel, advancing 80-110 kilometers.
