Chapter 82: Military Bases
"Commander, it's the commander, the commander is back!"
When I got out of the parked waiting car, I was surrounded by hordes of soldiers.
The only thing I could do back to the base was a jeep that sent me, and Master Pang parted ways with me a few hours ago because he wanted to send Chen Zhongyuan and a few people back.
"Yo hey! Are they all back? After sitting in the car for too long, my feet were a little numb, and after getting out of the car, I moved my muscles and asked the soldiers, "Is everything arranged at home?" The family is all right! ”
"It's all arranged! Good family! The soldiers beside him replied excitedly: "Regiment commander, we don't know if we don't go back, but this time, we know that we are all heroes!" ”
"Yes! Regiment Commander". Another soldier replied, "Many people in my family know about the fact that our regiment has won several great battles on the battlefield!" As soon as the village heard that I was going back. It's all ten miles outside the village! I also used a sedan chair to carry my mother, but she was very happy."
"Me too!" A thick-eyed warrior replied, "It's been more than ten days since we went back!" Every day, either this family invites dinner or that family invites dinner, and the things sent by the villagers are enough for my family for half a year! ”
"That's it!" Some soldiers pointed at the thick-eyed soldier and quipped: "You don't know, commander! The head of the village also introduced a counterpart to Lin Xintang! ”
"Really?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "And this good thing, I know that I will also follow you!" ”
The soldiers burst into laughter.
"Commander, Commander!" A little soldier squeezed in with a blue zi, then stuffed the blue zi into my hand, and said happily: "Little master, this is what my mother brought you, pancakes!" I told my mother about you at home, and my mother said that you are a big hero, let me fight with you well, fight for us Chinese, and when I leave, I will 'hand' over to bring you this pancake to taste! ”
"Hmm," I couldn't help but take Lanzi when I heard this, shook the little soldier's hand with emotion, and said, "Then I'll take it, and you can write a letter to *** to tell you about it, thank her for her pancakes, and what she gave birth to." Good son! ”
"Great!" The little warrior replied happily.
"Commander, I've brought something with me! A souvenir of the hometown
"I'm shrugged too!"
Then the soldiers handed me a large bag of things in front of me, and I was overwhelmed, and in a short time a large pile of blue seeds and bags were piled up in front of me, like a small mountain.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Comrades, how can I finish eating so many things alone?" Are you guys a pig or how do you think I'm the head of the regiment?
There was a burst of laughter, and the warriors burst into laughter again.
"Captain, you can eat it slowly!" Some fighters said: "Anyway, on such a cold day, it is not a problem to eat for ten days and half a month!" ”
"I don't dare to be alone!" After thinking about it, I said loudly to the soldiers: "Comrades, everyone has brought so many delicious foods, which are special products and made by the old lady herself, let's have a dinner tonight and share these foods, okay?"
"Good!" The warriors all cheered excitedly. That night, the soldiers of the whole regiment were in the plenary hall arranged by Yu Dongpei, sharing the food they brought back. There are raw food and cooked food, and the raw food is naturally 'handed over' to Yu Dongping for processing, and the cooked food is divided by the soldiers on the table on the spot. Because most of these foods were brought by the soldiers from home, they were all cooked by the family members for the soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield, and all of them were 'spent' into it, so the soldiers were full of praise for eating. Some of the soldiers were even eating while introducing the food to other comrades, and the hall was bustling with activity.
All night, the soldiers laughed and told the story of returning to their homeland.
Although I didn't hear what they were saying, in fact, I couldn't hear so many stories about so many people. But I could see the pride and pride on their faces and the preferential treatment they received when they returned to their hometown.
This can also be regarded as an unexpected gain for the troops. It's no wonder that some people say, "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world!" The current situation is a clear proof of this sentence!
Just imagine, if the things done by the volunteers and the battles they fought did not conform to the support of the people, I don't know how many people would be scolded by the soldiers when they went back this time. But now it is the complete opposite, when the soldiers return home and feel the support of their families, fellow villagers, and the people of the whole country, they will naturally have a sense of pride and accomplishment in their hearts, and this sense of pride and accomplishment will make the soldiers work harder on the battlefield and strive for more honors even more desperately, thus forming a virtuous "sex" circle of concerted efforts and unanimity throughout the country."
Throughout Chinese history, how many times has such a good social atmosphere emerged?
So I suddenly felt that God could let me go back to this era, let me be in such an atmosphere, feel the unity of the people of the whole country, and feel that the people of the whole country are all striving for the same goal without 'selfishness', which is really a kind of luck!
"Captain!" While I was in a daze, a familiar set of voices came to my ears.
"Hmm! Xu Yongwei! I turned my head and realized that it was Xu Yongwei, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked with concern, "How is it?" Have you arranged everything at home? ”
"Hmm!" Xu Yongwei's red and swollen eyes nodded a little! "My father was two months old, it was the villagers who pooled the money to give my father to worship Liu, and I have a younger sister at home, and the villagers know that I am fighting on the front line, and I either send food or clothes every day, and my life is stable!"
"Hmm! Then you have to thank the villagers." I couldn't help but be a little moved. In these years, the feelings of the villagers are not comparable to the neighbors of my time.
"Hmm". Xu Yongwei nodded: "I only hate myself for having no money, and I can't repay the villagers for their great kindness to me, but the villagers said to me, "You have suffered so much and suffered so many sins on the battlefield, isn't it to protect us?" This is the best reward for us! "After parting, the village chief also 'handed over' me, so that I could go to the battlefield to fight with peace of mind, he would treat my sister like a 'daughter', and even if I became a martyr in the future, he would find a good family for my sister and let her live a good life!"
"That's good! That's good! I didn't know what to say, I just patted Xu Yongwei on the shoulder and encouraged: "Then don't live up to the expectations of the villagers, learn the skills to fight devils in the army!" ”
"Hmm!" Xu Yongwei nodded firmly.
I thought about it a lot that night. Since I came into this era, the people I have come into contact with have been military, and it is only recently that I have come into contact with civilians. For a long time, I thought that only soldiers under the discipline of *** could have such a high ideological consciousness; At the same time, I also think that only the feelings between comrades-in-arms can make them selfless and selfless.
But now I realize that I was wrong, and I was very wrong!
Now I realize that it is not only the Chinese People's Volunteers who have this, but also the people of all China. On the battlefield, it is not only the soldiers in North Korea who are fighting against the United Army, but also the millions of people in the country!
Perhaps because of poverty, the old people of this era have a habit of hiding a sum of money as their coffin book. Because they are afraid that after their death, the child will bury himself hastily because he has no money. Some old people would rather go hungry while they are alive and save the money. Usually he hides the coconut, and he doesn't even tell his own son. One can imagine how important this money is to the elderly.
However, for the sake of this war and for the volunteer soldiers on the front line, the old people can donate all the coffins for handling the aftermath. No one knows how much courage and selflessness it takes to donate this money, but I know that these old people have not only sent us coffins, but also their support, the support of thousands of people!
They even dared to donate the coffin, what battle did our volunteers dare not fight? What battle can't be won?

The next day, I took the soldiers to the military base under the guidance of Commander Pang to conduct routine training for the soldiers.
Yu Dongpei's logistics base is mainly used to provide a material transit station for the soldiers on the front line, so it cannot stay for a long time. It would not be realistic if all the troops had to stay at his logistics base for a long time. So we rested there for two days, replenished our supplies, and then left for another military base.
The military base was not far away, and our group took several truckloads of food and materials and walked for more than three hours in the direction designated by Division Commander Pang before arriving at the destination.
A few days ago, I was worried that the soldiers might be demoralized when they returned home because they were worried about their families. I also thought about what to do with the ideological work of the fighters or what measures to take to make the fighters devote themselves to training and resting. But now it turns out that this worry is safe and unnecessary.
On this trip home, the soldiers were all 'aroused' by their relatives and fellow villagers at home, so their morale was unprecedentedly high, even more than when they won a battle on the battlefield! This is not? All of them 'chest' and bore 'up' high, like a 'rooster' that has just won a fight, so that the soldiers guarding the base looked at us, and they were all shocked by the 'spirit' we showed, and they all looked at us with strange eyes.
After reading our customs clearance documents, he saluted us and led the way to welcome us in.
Stepping on the snow on the ground, we walked along the mountain road into the entrance of the base, and we couldn't help but look at the empty valley inside.
There were no houses, no other troops, and there were only a few broken American tanks, a few 'strong' anti-aircraft machine guns, and a few 'guns' that couldn't tell what type of cannon they were. After a long time, we finally found a few familiar rows of pit mouths on both sides of the valley.
"Company Commander Wu, this is" Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask in doubt.
"Report to the Captain! This is our military base! Company Commander Wu replied 'straight'.
"This is a military base?" I said with some incredulity: "military bases" don't even have a place to live? Or live in a tunnel? ”
"Report to the Captain! Originally, there were dormitories here, but then they were all demolished! ”
"Demolished? Why?.
"In order to carry forward the style of hard work of our soldiers!" Company Commander Wu replied without thinking about it: "The purpose of doing this is to let the resting troops better adapt to the environment on the battlefield. You can also train recruits better! ”
"What? Recruit? "Hearing this, I couldn't help but look at Company Commander Wu in doubt.
"Yes!" Company Commander Wu nodded and replied to the regiment commander, don't you know? Most of the troops coming down from the front line have been seriously reduced, and the "regimental flying" troops are no exception! Now is the right time to take advantage of the rest time to replenish the troops, and after practicing for a period of time, you can better go to the battlefield to fight the enemy! ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but nod my head.
Company Commander Wu is right, the Volunteer Army's use of rotational tactics is not to transfer the front-line troops back to China for enjoyment, but to allow the front-line troops to rest and maintain their morale, and to be replenished to maintain their combat effectiveness. In particular, the training of new recruits is even more important.
It is said that in the early days of the Korean War, the preparation of the volunteer army was not sufficient. And at that time, combat attrition, non-combat attrition was very serious. There is a serious shortage of front-line combatants, so much so that many of the supplementary soldiers transferred from various places are directly sent to the battlefield after walking on the train and learning how to shoot guns.
As a result of this, the casualty rate of the supplementary troops is extremely high, and the overall combat capability of the troops has also been reduced because of the addition of these new recruits who have no combat experience at all and have not undergone the necessary training.
However, as the war progressed, the situation on the front line gradually stabilized, and we also had time to use the rest time to conduct the necessary training for the new recruits. In this way, the troops will be able to absorb new blood, ensure their combat effectiveness, and prepare them for the battlefield again in the future.
"Are there any other troops here?" I took a few aimless steps forward, looked at my surroundings, and asked casually.
"Report, there are no other troops except our company!" Company Commander Wu replied: "The comrades of the last batch of comrades of the Concave Army who rested here have just vacated this base for you not long after they entered the DPRK!" ”
"Hmm!" Listening to Company Commander Wu's words, I finally understood. Although the volunteer soldiers were withdrawn from the front line, no one was idle when they returned to China, and batches of them were preparing for the return to the battlefield! Moreover, in order to be able to enter the DPRK in time for reinforcements when necessary, many bases are located on the Sino-DPRK border.
"All of them!" Thinking of this, I gave an order to the soldiers: "Enter the tunnels at once and build fortifications on the high ground according to the requirements of the battle!" ”
"Yes!" The warriors answered, shrugged and scattered into their designated positions.
I took the soldiers on the high ground casually, and I found a lot of problems. The tunnels dug by the comrades of the Cave Army were very shallow, and the deepest ones were only a few meters, and such shallow tunnels were simply not enough to withstand the flames of explosives or flamethrowers thrown into it by the US troops. Some tunnels use too few logs to withstand bombing by the U.S. military. And the opening of the tunnel mouth is not very reasonable. There is no contact with each other and they cannot provide fire support to each other.
It is not surprising that when the comrades of the Cave Army were fighting the Korean War, they were still attacking each other with large troops, and they had not yet started tunnel warfare. I think they just heard that tunnel warfare was going on at the front, so they followed the drill of tunnel warfare in the rear in the way they imagined. However, after all, the drill is different from the actual battle, and without the test of the actual battle, of course they will not know what kind of tunnel can withstand the enemy's attack on the front line. But I think they quickly understood when they went to the battlefield, because they would soon take over the tunnels left by the front-line troops. It's just that it hurts us, isn't it? Commander Ma, the soldiers, all smiled bitterly at these unqualified tunnels.
Some of the fighters began to discuss:
"Do we dare to go into these tunnels? A few bombs from the Yankees buried us alive! ”
"That's right! And these tunnels. The enemy only needs to have a 'high' machine gun on that stone shelf, and he can seal four or five pit openings in one go! ”
"Where is all this nonsense," I shouted to the soldiers, "this is the battlefield." Do whatever you have to do! small
"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and without saying a word, they 'drawn' their shovels and busily 'fetched' them.
"Alas! It's really hard! Looking at the busy soldiers, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: "It's not enough to dig a tunnel on the battlefield, you have to do the same thing on the battlefield, you really can't stop for a moment." ”
A fairly passable tunnel was chosen as his regimental headquarters, and the guards quickly set up tables, soot lamps, maps, etc. in it. The radio soldiers immediately began to call the division headquarters to report our current position and situation, and the telephone soldiers ran around the mountains with bundles of telephone lines on their backs.
Everything was laid out without my orders, and the warriors knew what they had to do and what to do. Perhaps that's the difference between leading a veteran army and a new one!
Sitting bored on the shell box and looking at the topographic map that Company Commander Wu had just sent on the table, a sense of powerlessness rose in my heart.
This means that there is no enemy and no danger, so what kind of topographic map can we see here as a regiment!
Imaginary enemy? Drill?
Isn't there a saying that "the return of the five mountains does not look at the mountain, and the return of the Yellow Mountain does not look at the mountain"? The meaning of this is that after seeing the more dangerous and strange mountains, you will not be able to look down on ordinary mountains.
In the same way, I think the situation I'm facing right now is the same. We are a unit that has been tempered by the realities of war, and now let us practice in this situation, knowing that there is no danger and no enemy, and the first feeling in our hearts is that we are bored.
And I think it's not just me who thinks the same way, but the nephews and commanders of the soldiers think the same way too! If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle, more chapters, support for it
