Chapter 1 Celebration

The next day, when the KPA entered the city, the whole of Seoul was boiling.

The streets and alleys were full of cheers and gongs and drums, and this was the time when the art troupe played its role, whether it was the People's Army or the Volunteer Army, all of them were full of energy to open up the scene in the streets and alleys. There are those who play boards, there are those who dance in Korea, there are those who twist Yangge, there are those who tell stories, and there are those who perform juggling......

Slogans were everywhere on the eaves, on the streets, and on the buildings, and the KPA signal soldiers were busy hanging loudspeakers along the roads, so that the whole city could hear Kim Il Sung's speech.

A speaker of a volunteer soldier stood on a high platform and clenched his fists and shouted: "For the independence and freedom of Korea, for the security of China and the East, march forward more heroically!" The people of the whole of Korea, the whole of China, and the whole world are proud of your victory and cheer for your victory. Advance! Towards Daejeon! Towards Daegu! Go to Busan! Driving the U.S. invading forces out of Korea to the sea......"

Then the fighters all followed suit and shouted with their fists raised: "Advance to Daejeon!" Towards Daegu! Go to Busan! Drive the U.S. invading forces that refuse to withdraw from Korea into the sea! ”

Crazy, the whole world is crazy!

I was the only one sitting on the steps silently, which was really nothing to celebrate for me, who knew the history. After the whole third battle was fought, we didn't even feel the shadow of the American army, which can't help but remind me of the plan set up by the volunteers against the American army to lure the enemy deep into the second battle. The only difference is that the U.S. military is peeing on the banks of the Yalu River, while our troops are dancing in Seoul......

"Buzz ......" With a noise, the loudspeaker hanging on the telephone pole sounded, and a Korean voice came from inside: "Here is General Kim Il Sung's order!" ”

There was silence all around, and all the movements of everyone's hands stopped.

"Comrades!" With a thick and slow Korean voice, Kim Il Sung's speech was heard over the loudspeaker: "The Korean People's Army and the Chinese People's Volunteers launched a powerful offensive in coordination to liberate Seoul, the capital of our country, on January 4, 1951. The liberation of Seoul by our army is a victory of great political significance......"

Half an hour later, I finally heard the epilogue: "The Korean people express their great gratitude to the Chinese People's Volunteers for their heroic support in the struggle against the armed invaders of the United States!" To commemorate this victory, I order: Today, January 5, at 20 o'clock (Pyongyang time), 240 cannons will be fired in Pyongyang and Seoul to celebrate! ”

The "boom ......" was followed by a series of loud bangs, and more than 200 cannons fired wildly into the sky for a while, once again enlivening the soldiers and civilians of Seoul.

Since 1943, the Soviet Red Army has celebrated the victory of major battles with cannons, the first of which was to celebrate the liberation of Orel and Belgorod, with 24 cannons firing 12 at once.

At this time, when our supply is extremely difficult, and when each shell is condensed with the blood and lives of the logistics personnel, it cannot but be said to be a luxury to fire tens of thousands of shells at once for this victory.

I tightened my rifle on my back, passed through the reveling soldiers, and returned alone to the company's makeshift quarters, a bungalow. There was no one in the bungalow, and everyone went out to celebrate. Although it was daytime, the U.S. planes seemed to be in line with our celebration and did not come to bomb.

In fact, in modern sources, I know that the reason why the US planes did not come was because Ridgway strictly ordered not to bomb Seoul, because he knew that he would soon fight back, and he did not want the recovered Seoul to be in ruins. That's why this celebration can be carried out so smoothly, and it also allows the volunteer soldiers to enjoy a few days of rare peace.

I sat bored in my chair rummaging through the bullet pouches, but no matter how I turned them over, there were only a pitiful three magazines. Although I had collected hundreds of rounds of ammunition by myself before, I gave them all to the soldiers when I dealt with the British last time.

There are only twenty-four rounds in three magazines! How to deal with the US military that is about to counterattack? At this time, the supplies from the rear still did not arrive, but even if they did, it was useless, because the gun in my hand was an M1C of the US army......

At this time, I couldn't help but think of the more than 60,000 rounds of ammunition buried near the 38th parallel, which were all M1 rifle bullets, and it seemed that I would have to find a time to bring the guns, ammunition, and supplies there.

There is no need to worry about the food buried in the tunnels of the parliamentary government, because from here to the parliamentary government can march back and forth in one night, and the troops can go and get it at any time when they are hungry. It's the arms near the 38th parallel...... It takes two or three nights to talk back and forth, and there is no time to fetch it in case of a war!

It would be nice if there were cars, and if you could move fast and put it back and forth in one night, and there were more than 60,000 rounds of ammunition for thousands of rifles, plus some supplies, and the two cars could almost all be transported.

Cui Lian...... Well, it's the battalion commander! At this time, Jin Qiulian ran in, and she looked very happy: "Camp Commander Cui, what are you thinking?" How to hide in the house alone! ”

"Oh, Comrade Kim!" When she interrupted me like this, I suddenly remembered something: "Comrade Jin, I told him when I met the regiment commander in the morning, and he agreed with his mouth!" ”

"Say what? What was promised? Jin Qiulian looked confused.

"Move you to the rear!" I explained, "There is a shortage of people to take care of the wounded in the rear, and there are even fewer people who can understand medical skills. As soon as I proposed it, the head of the regiment agreed! ”

Cui ...... Camp Commander Choi! Jin Qiulian said with some grievances: "This is a big victory, seeing that we are going to drive the Yankees to the sea with more efforts, how can you still ......?"

"Alas!" I sighed helplessly and said, "I said Comrade Xiaojin, do you believe me?" ”

"Faith!" Jin Qiulian nodded affirmatively.

"Then go to the rear! This battle is going to be more tragic than any previous battle, you can't stand it! ”

"But we've already ......," Jin Qiulian seemed a little unconvinced.

"Don't, it's that!" I said in an unquestioning tone: "This is an order, as a revolutionary soldier, you must obey the arrangements of your superiors!" ”

"Yes!" Jin Qiulian looked at me stunned for a while, saluted and sorted out her equipment.
