"Captain! Head! ”

Huzi and I each ran back to the army with two boxes of biscuits and bread. The familiar packaging along the way had already attracted the attention of the soldiers, but they probably didn't believe that there was such a thing in the world, and there would be a whole box of bread when they couldn't even eat wild vegetables, so most of the soldiers didn't take it seriously when they saw us carrying these boxes of things back. The old squad leader even grinned and cut out: "Bluff people!" It's not such a way to draw bread to satisfy hunger! ”

But when we ran to the regiment commander and threw the boxes to the ground, and a large pile of bread and biscuits rolled out of the boxes, the soldiers were all stunned, and then they surrounded them with a hula and stretched out their hands to grab them......

"Ball! Stand still! Commander Chu gave an order, and the soldiers all stood back and lined up.

"Look at you, what has become of you?" Commander Chu blushed and said: "A few boxes of biscuits will make you all look like a soldier who is called a child to grab food, where is there still a little bit of ** soldier!" ”

Chen Ye was also alarmed by the noise outside, and got out of the air-raid shelter, and as soon as he saw a few boxes of bread and biscuits on the ground, he asked suspiciously: "I said Camp Commander Cui, where did these things come from?" ”

"Commissar! Let the comrades eat first! You see the comrades are hungry ......"

"Foolish!" Political Commissar Chen Ye said with a serious face: "Battalion Commander Cui, the food we raised when a regiment was out alone can still be used for our own use, and now the soldiers of the whole army are hungry, let's eat the other comrades who drink the northwest wind?" They're all starving, you know? Comrade Xiao Cui, we must have the ideological consciousness of the best soldiers, and everything must be ......"

"Commissar! And more! Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt the words of the political commissar: "It is full of five cars, which is enough for our army to eat for a while!" ”

"Five cars?" Hearing this, Regiment Commander Chu and Political Commissar Chen Ye couldn't help but be stunned, and the soldiers couldn't help but have their eyes shining and their faces beaming with joy when they heard this.

"Where?" Commander Chu quickly became nervous: "Don't let the Yankees' plane find out and blow it up!" ”

"Don't worry! Can't be fried! I smiled and said, "Commander, I still remember the last time we fought the 29th Brigade of the British Army here." A large amount of food seized? ”

"Remember!" Head Chu nodded: "Later, you drove a few truckloads of grain for miles, and were chased and bomb......ed by Yankee planes all the way."

Speaking of this, Captain Chu couldn't help but be stunned, glared at me with two eyes, and then said: "You mean that the grain didn't let the Yankees blow it up?" ”

"No, it didn't blow up! It's all buried in the tunnel. All we need to do is dig up the grain! ”

"Hey! Good boy, you ......" Captain Chu blew his beard and glared at him when he heard this, and gave me a hard slap in the head: "You actually kept me in the dark, you are not small!" ”

"Comrades!" Ignoring me who was grinning as he touched his head, he ordered the soldiers: "Eat something first, and after eating, you have the strength to dig up food!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered, and soon lined up.

Seeing that they were hungry, they didn't even have time to open the package when they received the food, they opened their mouths to bite, and then swallowed it in large gulps......

When Regiment Commander Chu reported this to his superiors, the whole army was shocked. The military headquarters soon learned of the news, strictly ordered all units not to dig grain without authorization to prevent it from being discovered by enemy planes, and specially sent a reconnaissance company to guard around the tunnel until night fell.

This batch of grain can be said to be the life-saving food of the whole army, so I can also understand the caution of the military department, but the volunteers are hungry and can't dig food, and there are many people who are anxious, and there are many people who don't believe in such a good thing, and they can't bear to come to me for verification, and I have no words to say.

In the end, in order to save trouble, a loaf of bread was placed on it, and a note was pasted on it that read, "This is proof", but it turned out that this still did not stop the soldiers from walking, because most of them were illiterate. Later, he had to let Huzi hold the bread in the way, but it didn't take long for him to come back and tell me that the only bread left as evidence had been distributed by him to his hungry comrades...... As a result, I was at a loss for words. Fortunately, it was dark after a while, and the food was quickly distributed to them.

What surprised the soldiers even more was that two of the five carts of grain were loaded with rice, a full two carts of rice, so the soldiers finally ate the rice they had not seen for a long time.

"Comrades ......" was night, and after the soldiers had eaten enough, Commander Chu called a meeting of the cadres, but when he said the last sentence, he hiccuped very indecently, which attracted a laugh from the soldiers.

Head Chu smiled embarrassedly and said lightly: "When you are full of food and drink, let's sit down and discuss how to fight devils!" ”

Commander Chu's words provoked laughter from the soldiers again.

"Comrades!" After a pause, Chen Ye continued: "First of all, I want to tell you that our soldiers on the front line have already fought with the Yankees, and they have no food or bullets, so they use bayonets, blood and life to block the enemy north of the Han River!" It's not easy for them......"

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be silent, because everyone knew what it was like to be hungry, not to mention fighting the enemy when they were hungry and short of bullets.

In modern information, I know that the retreat of the Volunteer Army was planned, and the whole army was divided into two echelons and three lines of defense. The first line of defense is the one that has now been opened. It stretches from the mouth of the Han River in the west to the east along the north bank of the Han River for more than 150 kilometers, and has invested the strength of eight armies of the four armies of the Volunteer Army and the four corps of the Korean People's Army.

Because the ice of the Han River has begun to melt, this line of defense is the main line of defense of the Volunteer Army, and it is better to defend this line for 20 to 30 days, if it can be supported for a longer time.

If the supplies are sufficient, it is very likely that the volunteer soldiers will rely on the fortifications on the north bank of the Han River to hold on for a long time and block the United States south of the Han River, because it will be a beach-grabbing landing battle. It was a freezing day, and the freshly thawed river water would definitely leave a deep impression on the US military.

It's a pity that the volunteers at this stage are hungry and don't have much ammunition.

"Comrades!" Chen Ye changed his words, slowed down his tone and said: "In this battle, we have changed from advancing with great triumph to fighting and retreating, and a very small number of comrades have more concerns and lack confidence. Some soldiers even reflected: 'It is difficult to win a victory by relying only on our army,' 'The enemy's artillery fire is so powerful that it is difficult to fight,' and some cadres said: 'When will the war end?' Some comrades complained: 'Why don't our cannons hit?' Why didn't our planes come? All units must step up education and propaganda, promptly correct the above-mentioned ideas that contradict the discipline of our army, and reverse the phenomenon of lack of confidence in our army! ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered, but many of them whispered below. This made me realize that in the volunteer army, it is indeed as Chen Ye said. Negative thoughts appeared. But it's no wonder that the higher you climb, the worse you fall, and the volunteers in this campaign were all confident that they were going to drive the Yankees into the sea, but now they have beaten them back...... Even the iron-clad volunteer soldiers can't withstand this huge psychological contrast......

"Comrades!" Chen Ye continued: "We must face up to our own shortcomings and difficulties, in the case of supplies cannot keep up, our retreat is inevitable, but I believe that this is only temporary, we will soon fight back again!" ”

"Yes, comrades!" Regiment Commander Chu nodded heavily: "The U.S. army started attacking three days ago, not long after we crossed the Han River. They know that we are facing the situation of running out of ammunition and food, and they know that we are tired from fighting for several months in a row, so they will not give up such a good opportunity, so they bombard our supply lines even more frantically, and attack the defense line of the volunteer army even more desperately, trying to trap us to death, starve to death, and want to defeat us. Comrades! You say, 'Can we let them succeed?' ”

"Can't, can't!"

"Yes!" Chen Ye also waved his fist and said: "Our volunteer army cannot be defeated or defeated, at any time, we must stand up tenaciously, resolutely fight against all reactionary forces, and never bow our heads in front of the enemy!" ”

"Never bow your head! Never bow your head! The fighters all clenched their fists and let out a wrath from within. It was then that I realized that it was very easy to get the volunteers to get rid of their negative thoughts and regain their morale.

"Good!" Head Chu nodded. Then he pointed to the map and introduced: "We belong to the second echelon, the defense line starts from Wenshan in the west to the Yizheng in the east, passes through Zhujin Mountain, Qingyu Mountain, Zafang Mountain, and the north bank of the Hongchuan River to Hongchuan, and our 26th, 40th, and 39th armies are stationed respectively. Our task is to build fortifications and recuperate, and when the soldiers on the first line of defense are withdrawn, we will hold the UN troops behind us to the death and cover the retreat of the soldiers! ”

"The superior means ......," Chen Ye added: "We must pay attention to maintaining our living strength, and we must not be emotional and fight with the enemy." In other words, it is not to hold the position, the purpose of our army. It is to slow down the enemy's northward advance as much as possible. ”

"Commissar!" Hearing this, the soldiers were a little confused, and one of the soldiers asked suspiciously, "Then how long are we going to hold our position?" ”

"Twenty-four hours!" Commander Chu said categorically: "This is the time set by our defense line, every position must hold on for twenty-four hours, and when the time comes, you can abandon the position and retreat, and then continue to build fortifications on the second line!" ”

"Comrades!" Chen Ye finally concluded: "We must make good use of this time to step up the construction of fortifications, this time is the blood and lives of the soldiers on the front line, we must not waste anything!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered the call and prepared to go.

The Ui government was the gateway to Seoul when the volunteers moved south, and this time the United Nations army went north, the Ui government was also an important transportation hub, because the road and railway from Seoul to this place were divided into several lines that extended to the north, and if they held here, they could greatly delay the advance of the enemy's mechanized troops.

For such a military point, the Volunteer Army arranged for two divisions to be stationed on the two roads northward from the Parliamentary Government. As for the railway, it won't be a matter of time before it gets back into use.

At this time, I could not help but sigh again at the advanced wisdom of the Korean people, who could have foreseen that the United Nations would fight back, and that it was possible to use the railways here, and dismantle all the railroad tracks in advance.

The position of the 118th Division was located next to the road from Uijeong-Pocheon, where more than 10 hills of various heights were scattered along the road to the north, which happened to become the position of the volunteers to block the American troops.

The position of our battalion was on one of the hills, and this time it was lucky that it was not in the first row. In fact, this is also the reason for the serious attrition, originally one company was enough to garrison the mountain, but now a battalion has to be arranged.

The fortifications are still mainly anticline, because the volunteers have realized that the frontal fortifications have no meaning except for consuming some American artillery shells, and the most important thing for the American army is artillery shells, so they all invariably built the fortifications on the anticline.

I don't know if it's because I'm not hungry, or what Chen Ye said has an effect, the soldiers are all full of effort to dig tunnels and repair fortifications, although they are divided into two shifts, work for half a day and rest for half a day, but the soldiers consciously join the ranks of digging tunnels, lifting wood, and transporting soil as long as they are okay when they are resting. Especially after a few days, after the front line sent off the bloody wounded one by one, the strength of the fighters can be described as desperate.

In the end, it took less than ten days to build the tunnel fortifications on two hills, one as the main position and the other as the second line position after retreat. Moreover, the fortifications were not as strong as the fortifications that were built on the repair hill at the beginning.

"Battalion commander, what should we do now?" When the repair was completed, the soldiers were stunned. Seeing that the soldiers of the other battalions were still busy, but the people in our battalion seemed to have nothing to do, so several company commanders coincidentally found the battalion headquarters for instructions.

"All the tunnels have been dug? The passage to the top of the mountain has also been laid? Xu Feng asked with some disbelieving.

"It's all dug up!" The soldiers patted their chests: "We've dug once in the repair mountain, haven't we?" Cooked! ”

Xu Feng didn't have an idea for a while, he couldn't let his comrades go back to sleep!

"So be it!" I suggested to the side: "We have all fought with the Yankees, and we all know that once this battle starts, even the two high ground next to each other will be blocked by Yankee artillery, and it will be difficult to get in touch." I think we might as well dig a passage between the high ground if we have time......"

"Great idea!" Xu Feng was worried that these soldiers under his command had nothing to do, so he nodded and agreed without thinking about it: "Just do it, you can contact other comrades in the highlands, and everyone will dig together." ”

"Yes!" The warriors, who seemed to be a little over-energetic, soon went out in high spirits. In fact, the purpose of letting the soldiers dig this passage was more important than thinking that as long as I held it for twenty-four hours, I was thinking that under the enemy's artillery blockade, if it was twenty-four hours during the day, would I be able to retreat? As soon as you leave the tunnel and retreat, you won't let the enemy's planes and artillery blow up a large area......

There's no need to worry about that this time.

It was the night moon and stars, the cold wind was blowing, and a few crows were frozen on the old trees. The fields that had gone through several wars were desolate, full of charred dead trees and the wreckage of cars and tanks, and there was a bit of depression after the war. But a few cannon shots could be heard faintly in the distance, but they constantly reminded us that the war was still going on.

At this time, I had just put away the sapper shovel and dragged my tired body to return to the pit to rest for a while, but suddenly a sentry shouted in a low voice from above: "There is a situation! There is a case......"

"There is a situation! There is a case......"

One by one, the soldiers passed on the news, and without waiting for orders, the soldiers who received the news quickly grabbed their guns and climbed out of the tunnel to the top of the mountain.

I also picked up my rifle and climbed to the top of the hill, and when I looked ahead, there seemed to be a team running in our direction in the darkness in the distance, without sound or light,...... Thanks to this sentry, he was able to find out.

"I guess it's our troops! It should be the comrades in front who have retreated! The old squad leader muttered quietly.

But in case of contingencies, the fighters were ready for battle.

"Liberate New China!"

"Serve the people! We are from the 38th Army! ”

Hearing this voice, the soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's the comrades of the 38th Army who have come down!" ”

Saying that, the comrades all ran down the hill, and some careful soldiers returned to the pit and brought some food.

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Comrade, well played!"

……

The soldiers went down the mountain one after another to greet the comrades of the 38th Army, only to see that they were all covered in blood, their clothes were also tattered, and their whole faces were so tired and deformed that they did not even have the strength to say a word or smile at us. There are even quite a few fighters who find that they have reached the defense line of their own people, and they can no longer get up when their feet are weak......

"Is the enemy following?" At this time, Commander Chu also ran up, and he grabbed a soldier and asked.

The warrior shook his head and replied weakly, "We retreated without the enemy spotting!" ”

"Captain Chu!" At this time, a soldier walked up and saluted with his only remaining left hand: "I'll hand it over to you next!" ”

"Commander Zhang, you ......" It seemed that it took a long time for Commander Chu to recognize the other party, and he was speechless when he looked at the soldier's appearance.

Commander Zhang didn't speak, smiled lightly, and then ordered his subordinates: "Leave all the ammunition to the comrades of the 40th Army!" ”

After that, he walked back to the line......
