Chapter XXXVI Wounded Soldiers

I was woken up by the pain in my feet, and when I opened my eyes, I found that it was already dawn, and the two warriors Ren and Chen may have not slept comfortably on the kang for a long time, so they were still snoring at this time. I slowly sat up and looked at my feet, but Ran was startled, both feet were swollen like turnips, and the cotton 'pants' were bulging, and there was even a feeling of being strangled by the 'pants' feet.

I endured the pain and carefully shifted my seat. Lean out and remove the scissors hanging on the wall. Painstakingly cut the 'trousers' tubes of the feet. The foot in front of me made me dare not admit that it belonged to me, it was swollen like a water bag, not to mention, red and swollen with bruises. A pain, itching, and swelling made me feel irritated.

Maybe it was because of my movements, Ren and Chen woke up after a while.

"Hey!" Ren Fengyou looked at my feet. 'Rubbing' his sleepy eyes and called out: "What kind of 'medicine' did this uncle give?" Why is there still a 'hairy'? ”

Chen Liang burst out laughing, and after Ren Fengyou looked at Hong Chu, he 'touched' his head and blushed and said, "Deputy battalion commander, that" I, I thought that the uncle had already put on the 'medicine' to do this

"Ren Fengyou, Chen Liang!"

"Yes!"

"You're ready to go!" I gritted my teeth and endured the pain and said to them: "Go ahead and go to the big army, and be careful when passing through the enemy's lines!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them responded with a 'shot' in response, but soon asked hesitantly: "Battalion Commander Cui, what about you?" ”

"Can I walk like this?" I replied angrily.

"Let's carry you!" Ren Fengyou grabbed the simple stretcher leaning against the wall and shook it: "We haven't carried you so far away, what are you afraid of?" What we have is strength! ”

"You're blind as a Yankee?" I snorted: "You two are carrying a big living person, will the enemy of such a big target still not be able to see it?" And let you get through their lines? ”

Hearing this, Ren Fengyou couldn't help but be silent.

"I'm not leaving!" Chen Liang showed a scoundrel look, and sat back on the pit as soon as he *** said: "This hot pit head is comfortable!" I don't want to go outside in the ice and snow to get frozen, not to mention that there is food here, Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, do you want to enjoy it here alone or what? ”

"I, I'm not leaving!" Ren Fengyou squatted down on the spot, pulled his face and said, "If you want us to leave, what should the enemy do if they come into the village to search?" Didn't the old man say yesterday that there were still more than a dozen wounded soldiers of our army in this village? Let's go like this, that's not it

"If the enemy enters the village, can you two stop it?"

"Then at least you can put up a sentry and help with the transfer or something!" Ren Fengyou said unconvinced: "If necessary, you can also play and cover, right?" ”

I think it's right, if there are really more than a dozen wounded soldiers in the village, then Ren and Chen should stay and take care of them, otherwise as long as more than a dozen puppet soldiers walk in this village, the wounded soldiers who stay in this village, including me, will only have to wait for death.

"Squeak!" With a burst of cold wind, the 'door' of the room opened, Ren and Chen raised their rifles and pointed at the 'door' like a 'shot', but at first glance, it was an old man with a shotgun and a bamboo basket on his back, who was so frightened by the rifles of the two that he didn't dare to move.

Seeing this, Ren and Chen hurriedly put away their rifles, and Chen Liang stepped forward and said for a while, presumably saying something sorry and misunderstood. Then he enthusiastically helped the uncle untie the bamboo basket, and saw that there were many herbs and 'medicines' in it. I couldn't help but feel 'excited' and ashamed in my heart, and I felt that this old man actually went to help me pick 'medicine' early in the morning, and I was ashamed that I had nothing to answer him, and I couldn't even say anything to him.

The uncle didn't say anything, and after putting down the bamboo basket, he busied it, first putting those seven-seven-eighty-eight herbs in the stone and mashing them with a wooden pestle, and occasionally adding some grass and wood ashes to it, and after a while, he 'made' a black and sticky thing. The old man didn't say a word and grabbed a bunch of Tuo to put it on my feet, and my feet were cold, not to mention that it was really comfortable, even after tying the gauze, I couldn't catch it if it was itchy, and then I really realized what it means to scratch the boots!

When the uncle served us a few bowls of steaming gruel and kimchi, I couldn't help but whisper to Chen Liang: "Ask the uncle, why are you so good to us, we haven't crossed the 38th parallel yet, they should be ordinary people in South Korea, right?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Liang answered and chatted with the uncle, Ren Fengyou and I didn't know what they were talking about, just watched from the side, and didn't feel anything at first, but after a while, I felt that the uncle's voice was a little wrong, and then I was talking and talking about old tears, choked so choked that I couldn't speak clearly, and I and Ren Feng were at a loss, and they handed the 'wool' towel and the water.

"Uncle said," Chen Liang turned around and explained to us: "He has suffered a lot of sins from the Japanese when he was a child, and he grew up working as cattle and horses in the Japanese barracks. Once, when he accidentally touched a Japanese gun, he went off, and the Japanese beat him half to death and threw him on the snow. At that time, he was only thirteen years old, but fortunately, the uncle was forced to climb here alone and knock on the 'door', and the uncle said that if no one opened the 'door', maybe he really wouldn't survive. Fortunately, a kind hunter took him in, and the uncle followed him to hunt for a living.

After a pause, Chen Liang continued: "Uncle said that the sound of us knocking on the 'door' that night was very similar to the sound of crawling here and knocking on the 'door' when he was desperate when he was a child, so he opened the 'door'. He also said that the puppet army was the minions of the Japanese. Follow the Japanese to oppress the common people. Sometimes it's even more ruthless than the Japanese, and everyone in the village hates it! The kind-hearted Orion later died at the hands of the puppet army, so the uncle let his only son join the People's Army, but he also died, just a few months ago during the great rout of the People's Army. When the People's Army arrived here, his son made a special trip home. At that time, the uncle was very happy, thinking that the puppet army was about to end, but he didn't expect that,"

Hearing this, my throat didn't feel a little hard, and at the same time, I understood the position of the puppet army in the hearts of ordinary people. No wonder their combat effectiveness is so poor, I think this has a lot to do with their unpopularity and lack of mass base, but I am afraid that this is also their biggest drawback

。

But I know it. As the war entered a stalemate stage and lasted longer and longer, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army was slowly improving, and in the middle and late stages, Xi even surpassed the US military and was more capable of fighting than the US army. The reason for this is that after the baptism of war, the entire army has undergone a major reshuffle and accumulated combat experience, and the other is that the masses of the people generally do not want to fight again, so they have given them firm support.

Sometimes I feel. With the current mass base of the puppet army and the hatred of the people for the minions of the Japanese army, if there was no Korean War. Syngman Rhee's puppet military regime will continue, and will bring the bad habits of the previous Japanese rule to the present and continue to oppress the people. It is very difficult for Syngman Rhee to reform this army, because the whole army is like this. Such a regime may soon be given *** by its own people.

But it was precisely this war that saved them. For them, war is the best survival of the fittest mechanism, driving out the weak, poor, high-quality, cowardly, 'mixed' people, and oppressors in the puppet army from the army, and these people are either killed on the battlefield or automatically quit the army because they are afraid of death. Later, those who joined the army were all enthusiastic young people who wanted to stop the war and defend their families and the country.

As a result, a puppet army that was originally in the eyes of the people as a 'traitor' gradually turned into a strong force to protect the family and defend the country after several years of war.

In modern times, I don't understand it yet. Why do some volunteers who have returned to China say that the puppet army is easy to fight, while others say that the puppet army is difficult to fight? At the time, it seemed a bit contradictory, but now I seem to have figured it out.

Just thinking about it, the uncle wiped away the tears on his face and 'confessed' to Chen Liang for a while. He nodded at us and went out. After Chen Liang saw off the uncle, he turned back to us and said, "The uncle said to go to the neighboring village Shachangli to do something." 'Give' us don't go out, saying that this place is remote, and the puppet army will rarely come here, so let's rest assured to stay here! ”

"Hmm! Sha Changli? I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, as if I had heard or seen this place name somewhere, so I continued to ask: "Chen Liang, do you know what the name of our village is?" ”

"I seem to have heard the uncle talk about it," Chen Liang thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "It seems to be called something" Eat insects

"Akajusato!" As soon as I heard the name, I remembered that in modern sources I once saw that during the Fifth Campaign. The troops of a battalion of our army discovered the position of an artillery battalion of the US army between Chizhong-ri and Shachang-ri, and attacked for three days and three nights, losing more than 200 people and still failing to capture it. And this armored artillery battalion of the US army was able to resist the attack of our army on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also used their large-caliber howitzers to complete the tasks "handed over" to them, providing artillery fire for the front line and killing and wounding a large number of volunteer soldiers charging the enemy's front.

I didn't expect the 'yin' to be wrong. I was brought to this place that was about to become an artillery position for the American army, but what could I do? I couldn't help frowning, now I only have two soldiers, even if I gather the wounded soldiers in the whole village, there are only a dozen people, not to mention whether they have the ability to fight, even if they have the ability to fight, they are all without food and bullets.

"What time is it today?" I asked casually.

"It's April 2nd." Chen Liang raised his hand and replied, he didn't know how he calculated, he lived like a fortune teller.

"Hmm!" Hearing this, I opened a small calculation in my heart, at this time the fourth battle is almost coming to an end, the fifth battle was started on the night of the 22nd, only twenty days from now, rather than risking my life to cross the enemy's line of defense to find a large army, it is better to wait here for twenty days and wait for the large army to fight back. What's more, I don't have the conditions to penetrate the enemy's line of defense now.

"Chen Liang, Ren Fengyou!" Thinking of this, I ordered.

"Here!"

"Do you really want to stay?"

"Yes!" Chen Liang and Ren Fengyou glanced at each other, and then both nodded resolutely.

"That's good!" I nodded, "Then let's stay here." However, it is not here to recuperate from injuries, nor to enjoy happiness here, but to cooperate with our main force to fight. Keep fighting the reactionaries! ”

Alas! As soon as these words were spoken. I realized that the tone of my voice had been assimilated by the volunteers.

"Yes!" As soon as Ren Feng heard this, he excitedly clenched his fists and shouted: "Resolutely fight the reactionaries to the end!" ”

"Fighting?. Chen Liang asked curiously: "What does Deputy Battalion Commander Cui mean by leading us up the mountain to fight guerrillas?" ”

"Even if it's it!" I nodded in embarrassment, but I thought in my heart, "Zhou Yi just wanted to fight guerrillas, but wanted to make some preparations for the upcoming fifth battle."

The fifth battle with the heaviest casualties! Direct combat attrition turned out to be more than 80,000 people, and if you count non-combat attrition, then,,

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui." Chen Liang cautiously asked: "But let's just do it." Person. And it's no more! ”

"What are you afraid of?" Ren Fengyi waved his fist and said: "No one, we can gather the soldiers who have fallen behind, there are still many fighters like us who have fallen behind, there is no problem in gathering two or three hundred people!" ”

"But what about ***? There is also food, Chen Liang still has some hesitation on his face.

"You can go to the enemy and rob it!" Ren Fengyou replied nonchalantly: "We didn't all do this when we used to fight guerrillas. ”

"Chen Liang!" I could see that Chen Liang was not very confident, so I said to him: "If you still want to quit now, you are still in a hurry, you can go back to the troops, no one will say that you made a mistake!" ”

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" When I said this, Chen Liang was so unhappy that he said, "I straightened up" and said: "I Chen Liang is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I mean that this is different from our previous guerrilla fight." Not to mention that we are not familiar with the terrain, what we have to deal with now is neither small Japan nor the Kuomintang, but the Yankees, who have a terrible number of aircraft and artillery! The Yankees bombarded with artillery fire, or threw a few incendiary bombs, and the whole mountain was completely gone, even people and trees, what kind of guerrilla warfare could they fight! ”

"You Ren Fengyou was so angry that his face turned black, and he pointed at Chen Liang and scolded: "As long as the enemy's ambition is extinguished, he will be prestigious." This battle hasn't been fought yet, so I'm afraid of this and that. also said that it was not greedy for life and afraid of death,

"What Chen Liang said also has some truth." Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile: "But don't worry, most of the enemy's troops are fighting with our troops on the front line!" The planes and artillery have also been transferred to the front line, and they can't take care of us for the time being, not to mention that we only need to fight twenty, hmm! ”

Speaking of this, I realized that I had slipped my mouth again, so I immediately stopped talking and ordered: "In this way, let's contact the comrades in the village first during the day, and at night." The two of you will go out and look for the stragglers, and you will find as many as you can. It's best to show a map back. If we want to unite all the forces that can be united, we will not stop. Fighting guerrilla warfare and uniting the fighters together is also good for the next step.

"That's it! There is a lot of power in numbers! Ren Fengyou quickly agreed, but Chen Liang frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

I secretly said that this Chen Liang is a smart person! I know what he's thinking, it's true that there are many people. But when there are many people, the goal is also large, and the possibility of *** is also large. We are in a situation like we are now. Even if two or three hundred people are gathered, once they are discovered by the enemy, they will be served in a pot. So it's really not a good thing to be together. But how could he know that in just 20 days, the large army of volunteers would fight back again, and what I had to do was by no means as simple as he thought it would be to fight guerrillas.

Ren and Chen did what they said, and soon went to the village to contact the other wounded. The village was not large, so the two of them soon returned with seven men, all of whom were more or less wounded, bandaged, and some had hands. Some had heads, and one even had a splint between their toes.

"Comrade!" To my surprise, all of these soldiers were very 'excited', and as soon as they entered the 'door', they enthusiastically shouted at me: "Comrade, I heard that you are going to organize a unit in the rear of the enemy, count me as one!" ”

"And me!"

"I'm one!"

I couldn't help but look at the two soldiers, Ren and Chen, with some suspicion. I scolded in my heart, these two stinky boys, just asked them to contact them, and didn't let them bring these wounded soldiers who have no combat ability!

Ren Feng said embarrassedly: "I accidentally told them that Deputy Battalion Commander Cui wanted to pull up a team, and they insisted on telling them."

"Those who didn't come were hiding on the 'bed' and couldn't move!" Chen Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There are a few of them who let us lift them up."

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be moved in my heart, the ideological consciousness of the volunteer army is good, but"

"Comrades!" I said to them with some helplessness: "Your 'spirit' spirit who wants to contribute to the motherland and the people is good. But I want you to understand that we want to organize an army, we want to march, fight, and kill the enemy, and we can't affect the whole army because of a few people

"We all know this!" A soldier with a broken left hand rushed forward and said: "We will resolutely not drag the troops' back 'legs', we will not fall behind, and if we cut off our left hand and right gun, we can also kill the reactionaries!" ”

"Yes!" Another soldier, who was blind in one eye, continued: "I am blind in one eye, and I don't even need to close my eyes when aiming, faster than others!" ”

The soldiers laughed at the sound of coaxing, but I was the only one who couldn't laugh, they lost their hands, their feet, and their eyes. But I don't see the slightest depression or frustration in them.
