Chapter 16 38th Parallel

"Company Commander, Company Commander!" I gave this order, and the tiger was in a hurry, and ran up and shouted: "Let's not chase the enemy?" Don't take prisoners anymore? ”

"Can we catch up?" I didn't answer and asked, "Don't you look at the speed of the recruit comrades, we're going to chase the enemy, isn't that the same as leaving them all behind?" ”

"Then let's ......"

"What are we going to do? Pick up the gun and go to you! I said angrily: "You have a lot of strength, take the recruits to double the amount, is there a problem?" Confess to the fighters, the most important thing is food and bullets, if necessary, you can bring one or two guns less! ”

"Yes!" After Huzi saluted, he reluctantly carried out the order.

Veteran, I just want to kill the enemy and capture prisoners on the front line to make meritorious contributions, looking at the back of the tiger I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, but I don't know that what the volunteer army lacks in this battle is not soldiers, but food and ammunition.

"Company Commander Cui!" At this time, Instructor Zhao also asked in a low voice: "Is it inconsistent with the combat policy of the troops that we are cleaning up the battlefield in the rear like this?" It seems ...... to do so."

"Disobey military orders, right?" I replied with a wry smile: "I have not done this disobedience to military orders before, and it is not bad for this one." The instructor can rest assured that after this battle, I will ask my superiors for punishment alone! ”

"I, I didn't mean that......" Instructor Zhao was a little embarrassed by what I said.

"Instructor!" I pointed to the guns and ammunition on the ground and explained: "Our large army is chasing the enemy all the way to capture prisoners, and we can't spare our hands to clean up the battlefield, these are all treasures, now it's dark and the enemy planes can't get out, and if you want to throw a few incendiary bombs at dawn, they will all be gone!" ”

"That's right!" Instructor Zhao hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement: "Just do what Company Commander Cui wants!" ”

So when the troops set off again, all the 38 big covers were replaced with American-style M1 rifles, and the bullet bags and dry food bags were all stuffed. If it weren't for the fact that the recruits didn't dare to search their bodies seriously out of fear of corpses, I think this time there would have been much more gain.

Soldiers are afraid of corpses, and even nausea and vomiting...... At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little funny, but thinking about how it wasn't when I first arrived, but then I saw a more tragic "big scene", which made me feel that these scattered corpses in front of me were not worth mentioning at all.

It is not difficult to find a large army in the snow, just follow the footprints left by the troops. What's more, the army also used a black thing on the snow on the road to indicate the direction of progress, I never knew what this black thing was, but then I smelled the fragrance and felt familiar, and when I looked at it seriously, it turned out to be coffee......

Alas! It's really a tyrannical thing, it must be the American goods captured by the volunteers from those puppet soldiers, and they are used as road signs.

The recruits, who were already not physically fit enough, are now carrying a lot of guns, ammunition and food, which makes the troops move more slowly. Later, even I felt like I was picking up the rags after a large army, and until now, I have never fought a battle that was so easy.

"Look, it's the 38th parallel." After walking for about half an hour, Instructor Zhao pointed ahead and said.

Looking in the direction he pointed, he saw a wooden stick supporting a rectangular plaque in the night, on which the number 38 could be vaguely seen, and there were some illegible English letters on it. Take a closer look and it says "YOUARENOWCROSSING38THPARALLEL" (you are crossing the 38 degrees parallel)

This is the 38th parallel? I couldn't help but be surprised to see this scene, although I have also seen the 38th parallel in modern times, but at that time there was at least Panmunjom, barbed wire, and a non-military buffer zone full of mines! And now, just a plaque?

I couldn't help but look around, there was really nothing, and the scenery on both sides of the 38th parallel was completely connected, except that there was a sign marked 38 in the middle.

"It's time to the 38th parallel!"

"It's time to the 38th parallel!"

……

The soldiers were also excited when they heard about the 38th parallel, even the recruits, and it seems that few people will not know the legend of the 38th parallel.

When I stepped over this plaque for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in my heart, dozens of countries around the world have paid a heavy price here, for this simple latitude......

"Where?" Just as everyone was thoughtfully crossing the 38th parallel, only Huzi looked around on the ground looking for something: "Why are your eyes so good, why don't I see any line?" ”

Damn, the emotional tiger really thinks that the 38th line is pulled out with a thread.

"Company commander, it's not a way to go on like this, we're going too slowly! Even I, the lame, walked faster than they did. "At dawn, we found a forest to hide, and Zhao Yongxin and a few platoon commanders came to me to give advice.

"That's right, company commander!" The old squad leader also agreed: "If you go on like this, you won't be able to catch up with the big army!" According to me, we will fall at least ten miles this night. ”

"I've never fought such a bad fight!" Huzi took off his hat and said aggrievedly: "All the way, I followed the butts of the large army to pick up things, and I couldn't touch a living enemy." I picked up seven or eight rifles and five or six hundred rounds of ammunition today, company commander! It's not that our troops don't have guns, what do you say you're doing with so many guns? ”

"Isn't it bad, Huzi?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "You picked up so much ammunition alone?" Did you pick up food? ”

"Yes! There's a big bag out there! ”

"Okay!" I patted Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Isn't that good?" When the time comes, I will repay you! ”

"What's the reward? Not a single reactionary was killed, and a prisoner was not captured......"

"Don't worry! Comrades! I smiled and comforted everyone: "We will be able to catch up with the big army, now the big army is chasing the puppet army, and the puppet army will disperse without a fight, so the big army is going fast and we can't catch up, and in two days our big army will meet the American devils, so it's different, isn't it?" What is chasing the puppet army? Let's fight those Yankees! Want to fight but afraid you won't have to? ”

"Company Commander Cui!" Instructor Zhao also spoke at this time, he pointed to the mountains of guns and ammunition piled up next to him and said: "Even if this is the case, the things that the soldiers brought today are already overloaded, and they can't pick them up tomorrow, right?" ”

"So!" I smiled and replied, "So we're going to bury all these guns, ammunition, and food tonight!" ”

"Buried?" When the soldiers listened to me, they all looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of medicine I was selling in my gourd.
