Chapter 39: Seoul
An earth-shattering bang of "boom ......" came from afar, waking me and the soldiers who were resting, and my first reaction was to grab our guns and fall down on the snow. But after a long time, no enemy was found, and the explosions continued to be heard one after another.
"Far away!" The old squad leader was the first to see the clue, put away the gun and said, "Listening to this voice, it is dozens of miles away, but what is this thing bombing?" It sounded like thunder for dozens of miles, and it scared me! ”
"Hey! The smoke is like a dark cloud! One by one, the soldiers stood up and looked into the distance, only to see the flames blazing in the sky, billowing black smoke rising into the cold sky, and the sound of explosions one after another.
"Did our troops do it with the devils?" Some of the recruits whispered.
"Not like that!" The old squad leader shook his head and said, "Even the Yankees' bombs are not so loud!" ”
"It's the Yankees on the run!" I leaned my rifle against the tree and got back into the bed: "That's the sound, they're blowing up the gasoline and ammunition they can't take away!" ”
"Obedient ......" Hearing this, the volunteers couldn't help but gasp: "It's all blown up like this, how much gasoline and ammunition do you need?" ”
Although I don't say it in my mouth, I know very well in my heart that according to modern data, when the US troops retreated, they destroyed a total of 1.6 million gallons of gasoline, 9,300 tons of construction equipment, and ammunition filled with 12 trains in three places: Gimpo Airport, Bupyeong City, and Incheon. The burning of the fire and the explosion of ammunition lasted for half a day, and it is said that global warming must be inseparable from the waste of the US military.
The U.S. military is really generous, only these destroyed strategic materials are almost enough for our volunteers to fight the entire campaign to aid Korea, thinking that I pulled the quilt a little higher to cover my ears, blocked the annoying explosion, shivered in the cold wind and fell into a semi-sleep state again......
At ten o'clock in the evening, facing the fierce cold wind and the oncoming snowflakes, the troops once again embarked on the march. To be a deputy battalion commander, it is really much easier than being a company commander, there is a battalion commander and a company commander, if I don't like to take care of things, I can do nothing, if I want to pull troops out to fight, I can call a company at any time......
However, this number is a little less, I originally thought that the second company I was in had heavy casualties, but after becoming the deputy battalion commander, I found that the original other companies were not much different, and there were only forty or fifty in one company, the difference is that I have added a hundred recruits and still fought like this.
As the pace of the soldiers became tighter and darker, the light of the fire in the distance became more and more obvious, and finally in the second half of the night, we finally arrived in the war-torn city of Seoul.
Seoul, a city with a long history, changed hands three times in half a year, and this time it fell into our hands. This was the first and only time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that the Chinese army occupied the capital of an enemy country, and it still is.
The soldiers and I walked carefully into Seoul with guns in hand, and the fire spread everywhere, and the burning houses gave us a clear view of the narrow streets, which were littered with abandoned garbage and immobile cars, and all the public facilities that could be used by us were blown to shreds. Occasionally, I would see more than a dozen corpses being shot on the street with their hands tied behind their backs, already cold and stiff. It is believed that some of the pro-communist elements who were shot by the South Korean army when they withdrew from Seoul.
There were several gunshots from the bungalow in front of the "bang bang ......", and the volunteers were stunned for a moment, and they all raised their guns and silently outflanked the house.
"Ppaleunjeompeu (Korean: Run)" With a loud noise, two men with guns kicked open the door and ran out, but as soon as they walked out of the door, they were pointed at dozens of guns and did not dare to move.
"Sondeul-eo (Korean: Hands up)" I pointed my rifle at the heads of the two men as if in a demonstration, so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they threw away their rifles as quickly as they could, and raised their hands, and the gold and silver jewelry in their arms fell all over the ground with a thud.
They were gangsters, and I quickly understood. As soon as the United Nations troops and police withdrew, there was a vacuum in the whole of Seoul, and the whole city became a paradise for looters and criminals. The hatred, greed, and *** that some people with bad intentions usually suppress burst out at this moment. No one cares about them, they just pick up a few broken guns discarded by the United Nations troops, and they can do whatever they want in the city.
Huzi seemed to understand something, and pushed the two of them away and drilled into the house, but he was stunned when he stood at the door.
"Son of a bitch!" Huzi suddenly turned back, knocked one of them to the ground with the butt of a rifle, and then pulled out his thorn and was about to stab him, but fortunately he was stopped by several quick-eyed warriors.
"Don't stand in my way!" Huzi struggled and shouted: "Let me slaughter these two animals, and this dog will not even let go of the children......"
When I walked in the door, I saw that the family of three was lying in a pool of blood, the father was lying on one side of the head with a black bullet hole, the mother and daughter were also dead on the bed naked, and the daughter looked to be only a teenager.
"Hold on!" I gritted my teeth and ordered, although I would also like to correct these two inhuman fellows on the spot, but the discipline of the army does not allow me to do so. The discipline of the volunteer army is that even prisoners cannot be killed, not to mention that their identity is just ordinary people!
In modern sources, I know that there were originally more than 1.5 million people in Seoul, and under the propaganda of the puppet army, the red elements were described as killing, burning, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and even more so Syngman Rhee announced that the capital would be moved to Pusan this time, causing a large number of people to flee with the puppet army. However, there are still more than 300,000 people who are unwilling to abandon their homeland and stay behind, and many of them are overseas Chinese. At this time, how to manage them and how not to panic them became a problem for the volunteers.
"All of them!" After thinking for a while, I ordered: "Attention, comrades, the situation of the war is chaotic and the reactionaries are very cunning. It is very likely that the civilians with guns are disguised by the enemy and can be treated as enemies! ”
"Yes!" The warriors rushed forward in response, and in a few moments there were several intermittent gunshots in front of them.
If you want the people not to panic, the first thing to do is to get rid of those gangsters who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.
