Chapter XVIII 180 Division

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" While I was still disgusted by the corpse, Zhao Yongxin hurriedly ran to me and reported: "Oh no, Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" We're separated from the troops."

"What? Got separated?. Hearing this, I pointed to a large number of volunteer soldiers in front of me and said, "Aren't they all our troops in front?" ”

"Well, that's not our troops." Zhao Yongxin couldn't help but replied with a bitter face: "No one can see anyone in the dark last night, all of them." They all pulled the bullet bags of the fighters in front of them, and one comrade pulled the wrong person, and all the ones behind followed the wrong one! No, "the two hundred or so people in our battalion have all been left behind!" ”

"What are you doing standing? Don't want to go to the troops? I couldn't help but stand up in a hurry.

"Where can I find it?". Zhao Yongxin wiped the rain from his face and said in embarrassment: "This person is unfamiliar with the place, even one." There are no maps, even if there are maps! Our troops are also running around the mountains

"Alas!" I sighed and sat down on top of her.

After a while, looking at the group of volunteer soldiers in front of me who were about to leave, I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Which unit is in front?" ”

"Yes, the military". Zhao Yongxin replied: "I asked just now, it seems to be Tian Shi's!" ”

"What? Hanshi? "I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. The army in front of me turned out to be the Fourth Division, the Fourth Division that was almost completely annihilated after being surrounded in the Fifth Battle.

"What's wrong? Deputy Battalion Commander Cui! "Zhao Yongxin saw that my 'look' was wrong, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Well, nothing!" I made up my mind and quickly ordered: "Count the number of people, let the soldiers get ready, and let's go with the comrades of the army."

"Yes!" Zhao Yongxin answered, turned around and went to arrange.

The troops began to march rapidly, and the number was quickly counted, including the number of lost people in other battalions, a total of three hundred and twenty-eight people, which is almost half of the current number of our regiment, and I don't know when and where they were separated last night, and it is impossible to find the regimental headquarters.

Moreover, according to my personal meaning, now the ghost has sent himself to keep up with the Fourth Division, thinking about this army of more than 10,000 people in the near future. There will be seven years of more people killed, separated, and captured," and I felt like I had to do something.

Because the communication equipment of the Volunteer Army is very backward, it is common for them to fall behind and then fight with other troops, and our group of people follow the Tian Division to advance, and they are not surprised, but I don't want to just follow them *** behind just to fight, that doesn't play a role, so I quickened my pace to catch up with a small soldier in front.

"Comrade! Which regiment are you from?. I asked casually.

"It's hard for you to be nephews." The little soldier couldn't help but look at me suspiciously: "Aren't you?" What are your shares?

We have been in the regiment for 40 years, and I replied a little helplessly: "We are separated from the army!" ”

"What? Forty years?. Hearing this, the little soldier couldn't help but look at me in surprise, and said with a face full of respect: "I heard that you have been fighting from the first battle to the present?" It's all true?.

"Hmm". I nodded.

"Wow! I must have beaten a lot of devils! Before I could answer, the little soldier turned around and shouted to his comrades in front of him: "Comrades, we have met a forty-year-old big brother!" ”

Khan, I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this. We're all going to be big brothers

"Forty years? I've heard that I've won a lot of battles."

"That's right! I heard that they fired the first shot, and they also wiped out the tank battalion of the British devils."

"Look at the 40 years of people, it's just different, and the guns in their hands are all taken from the Yankees."

Although the soldiers of the army did not stop, they turned their heads to look at us, and I and the soldiers felt strangely comfortable. It felt like a hero who was worshipped, and it was the volunteer soldiers who worshipped us.

This way of fighting, just hard to endure hardship and bloodshed, I really didn't expect that our troops had already made a reputation.

"Comrade". At this time, a middle-aged volunteer soldier with a scruff beard walked from the front, seeing that he had a pistol pinned to his waist and a guard behind him, he thought that he was also a bit official. It's just that what makes me feel very strange is that there is also a sunglasses 'sticked' in the pocket of his cotton coat, which should have been captured from the puppet army.

I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of the volunteer soldier wearing a sunglasses on his face in a tubulaji, but I thought that he might be an "official" bigger than me, so I had to endure it hard.

"Comrade". He walked in a little further and asked me, "What are you all for forty years?" ”

"Report!" I couldn't help but 'straighten' down and replied: "We are from the 3rd Battalion of the 40-year-old division and strong regiment, and I am the deputy battalion commander Cui Wei

"Hmm! Or a deputy battalion commander?. The middle-aged soldier couldn't help but glance at me in surprise, and then quickly shook my hand warmly and said, "Comrade, I'm Pang Kechang, the head of the nephew regiment!" You've been separated from the troops! ”

"Yes!" I nodded and replied, "Maybe I followed the wrong troops when I was squeezing with you last night."

"That's right, that's right!" Commander Pang said with a smile: "It's all our self-obituary team, how can we say that it's wrong, and it's not 'touching' the black and following the puppet army to hit one."

"It's good to follow the puppet army." Huzi 'interjected' on the side and said: "If you really follow the puppet army, we will just serve them as soon as the morning dawns."

"Yo! This warrior has a lot of breath! Captain Pang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and the soldiers around him also laughed.

"How? Deputy Battalion Commander Cui! After laughing for a while, Commander Pang pointed to the soldiers behind me. His eyes were full of anticipation and he asked, "Are you going to find a large army?" still".

Then he mysteriously leaned into my ear and said, "Tell you, we're not chasing the puppet army, we're going to fight the Yankees!" If you want to have a good time, you can't go wrong with us."

"Hmm! Started beating the Yankees so soon? "I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Commander Pang nodded: "The Yankees know that we are fighting the puppet army, and they can't sit still, and they are sending reinforcements here!" The higher authorities ordered us to cut off the connection between the US military and the puppet army, and resolutely block the Yankees' reinforcements! ”

It turned out to be reinforcements to fight the Yankees, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I heard this, I thought that the U.S. military would be on the whole line so soon, but the time before the U.S. military *** is about the same! In any case, if you want to save the Fourth Division, you must first follow them.

Thinking of this, I quickly nodded in agreement.

"Good!" Commander Pang patted me on the shoulder: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, our troops have never fought with the Yankees, and we lack combat experience, so we need experienced veterans like you to 'communicate' it!" Deputy Battalion Commander Cui can't hide a good way to hide the coconut! ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, and then I knew the real reason why Commander Pang wanted us to join his army so much.

So I thought that if he knew that the real reason why I agreed to join their unit was to save their whole division from breaking out, he would definitely think I was crazy. But at this time, my heart was also in full swing. Whether this will save them is still unknown! I don't want to put myself in and be a prisoner of the American army."

The soldiers who followed the Hanshi marched in the muddy water for a day, and finally arrived at their destination in the afternoon of the same day. Highway below the highlands *** Flood Highway. It was a necessary place for the 1st and 7th Marine Divisions of the Western Front to advance eastward to reinforce the puppet army.

Like the rest of North Korea, it is a winding road surrounded by mountains. However, the road was muddy due to heavy rain for several days, and the mudslides that had been rushing down from the mountains could be seen blocking the road.

This could slow down the U.S. advance, but I know it wasn't enough to stop them, because their Sherman tank would turn into a high-powered bulldozer with just a few modifications, for a Sherman medium tank. This bit of dirt and stones blocking the road is not trivial!

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui". Just as I and the soldiers were hurrying to build the fortifications, a messenger approached me: "Commander Pang asked you to go!" ”

"Yes!" I put down my shovel and jumped out of the water-filled trench and followed the messenger to the rear of the position.

Originally, I thought that when Commander Pang called me, I should be going to the regiment headquarters, but after walking for more than ten minutes, I felt that something was wrong. The regimental headquarters of the Volunteer Army is generally located not far from the front line, which makes it more convenient to command, but now it has been more than ten minutes and has not arrived, so could it be that the division headquarters is going to?

Sure enough, just as I had guessed, after walking for a while, the correspondent took me off the road and climbed up the mountain, and a few guards could be vaguely seen in the woods. Then I lifted the black cloth and walked into an air-raid 'hole', and when I saw the head of the Pang regiment standing there 'upright', it confirmed my thoughts even more;

Reports. The correspondent 'straightened' down and saluted: "Report to the division commander, the deputy battalion commander Cui has come for forty years."

"Hmm, Deputy Battalion Commander Cui! Come on, come on". A middle-aged soldier in a cotton coat, with thin cheeks and a bright gaze, waved at me enthusiastically, making me realize that the person in front of me, dressed like an ordinary soldier, was Zheng Qigui, the division commander of the Tian Division.

"Do you smoke?" Another volunteer soldier with a two-handful beard handed me a cigarette.

When I saw it, it was "'Spring' Meixiang", and this cigarette can definitely be called a domestic famous brand in this era. But even if it was for me to be brave, I didn't dare to 'smoke' in front of the division commander, so I hesitated and 'stood up'. He replied, "Report ***, I won't!" ”

"Who are you fooling? Master Zheng couldn't help but point at me and scolded with a smile: "Look at the way you stare at the cigarette with your two eyes, you know that you are not a cigarette!" ”

A few of the people in the air-raid 'shelter' couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and the atmosphere immediately eased a lot?

"Come on" Captain Pang also comes! "Division Commander Zheng quickly recruited Commander Pang over, and the air raid 'shelter' was soon filled with a burst of smoke and the smell of flue-cured tobacco?

"Let me introduce you!" Division Commander Zheng spat out a puff of smoke and pointed at the soldier with a mustache and said, "This is political commissar Wu Chengde, and I am division commander Zheng Qigui." ”

"Political Commissar Wu, Senior Commander Zheng!" I hurriedly got up and saluted the two of them.

"Sit, sit, sit, sit" You're welcome! Political Commissar Wu pulled me to sit down on the bench again: "Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, before you came, we sent a telegram to your division to verify you" Horn Yijin said that you are very good at fighting, the British Royal Tansu Battalion is under your command to defeat the Zhenzhen, and your regiment commander Chu is also one, and he said that you have accurate marksmanship, full of ghost ideas, and said that the enemy has suffered several losses in your hands! Looks like we've picked up the baby this time! ”

"The political commissar has won the award, I, I am also 'Meng', I have been praised by the political commissar Wu and I am a little embarrassed.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Senior Commander Zheng's face turned heavy at this time: "We are all comrades, so we won't say anything else." According to the original plan, the whole army was supposed to carry out this blocking task, but the higher authorities temporarily assigned the worm division to the mouth army to penetrate and 'intersperse': "The Yang division was assigned to the old army as a reserve, and now only one of us remains." division to block reinforcements from the 1st and 7th divisions of the US army. This battle is not easy to fight! ”

"In addition, our army has never 'fought' with the US military!" Political Commissar Wu interjected: "You have been 'fighting' with the Yankees since the first battle for forty years, how about it?" Let's introduce our experience! ”

"Political commissar, division commander!" When I heard this, I didn't say polite words, so I got up and saluted the two of them and replied: "Although the US army's will to fight is not strong, its firepower is very fierce, aircraft, artillery, tanks, and large-caliber naval guns on warships, and this battle is different from previous battles, and the intensity of the artillery attack is several times more fierce than in previous battles!" ”

"Well, it's Van Vliet's saturation attack!" Political Commissar Wu nodded and explained: "In the past, the Yankees' *** was limited, but in this campaign, the US army gave an order without *** restrictions, no matter how those artillery fights!" ”

Actually, I know that this is Van Vliet's reason, but I can't say it for sure, because it would be weird for a small crep to know about Van Vliet's saturation attack. When the division commander and political commissar ask later, I don't know how to explain it!

"The enemy's artillery is not a big problem!" Division Commander Zheng walked to the map, gestured to where we are now, and said: "This area where our army is stationed is mountainous and forested, as long as we build a good tunnel fortification, the enemy's artillery will not be able to take us!" Plus it's the rainy season, and enemy aircraft will also be limited. ”

"Master Zheng" couldn't help but respond when he heard this: "What if we want to retreat? Hiding in the tunnel is not afraid of enemy bombardment, but you can't retreat! Besides, there are times when it doesn't rain during the rainy season! ”

"What? Are you saying that our troops are going to retreat? "Hearing this, Division Commander Zheng and Political Commissar Wu couldn't help but look at me suspiciously, now is the time for the Volunteer Army to sing a triumphant song to defeat the puppet army, where would they think that in a few days, the Volunteer Army will have to retreat.

I nodded affirmatively: "The enemy knew that our army's logistics were insufficient long ago in the fourth campaign, and they always took advantage of the fact that we had no ammunition and no food to launch ***, and this campaign must be no exception." Now the fighters are running out of bullets! ”

"The situation of my division is fine!" Hearing this, Political Commissar Wu couldn't help frowning: "But our division has always been fighting on the inner line, and the consumption reduction is not much, so the troops on the front line must be different!" ”

"There's really not much left to eat!" Master Zheng said worriedly: "We always thought that the rear would send it up, but we didn't pay attention to it!" ”

"An army of millions!" Political Commissar Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Volunteer Army has increased its aircraft and anti-aircraft artillery regiments, and although the logistics have been greatly improved, the number of volunteers has also increased several times!" ”

"Senior Commander Zheng, Political Commissar Wu, look!" Taking advantage of this opportunity, I pointed to the position of the Volunteer Army on the map and said: "In this battle, the puppet army formed a salient on the Eastern Front, putting the left flank in front of our army, and our army pursued and attacked the enemy's depth all the way. ”

After a pause, I decided to tell the actions of the US military in history in a hypothetical way: "If I were the US army, I would have taken advantage of the fact that the volunteers were drowsy and short of ammunition and food for days to launch a counterattack on the whole front, push the entire front to the north, and then send a small group of armored troops to quickly 'insert' into the sensitive bee waist part of our army's rear with the cooperation of aircraft, then the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who had penetrated the farthest in the previous battles would be divided south of the 38th parallel, and thus fall into the heavy encirclement of the US army."

"Old Wu!" Hearing this, Division Commander Zheng couldn't help but take a 'gasp', and said to Political Commissar Wu: "I think we should contact the military department, whether we can accept it when we see it, and withdraw the troops safely as soon as possible!" ”

"Agreed!" Political Commissar Wu nodded solemnly and said: "Report the situation to the military headquarters immediately, we must be cautious about the enemy's combat plan mentioned by Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" ”

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Senior Commander Zheng nodded at me and said, "Your suggestion is very good, and we will seriously consider the questions you raised."

Go back to the troops and command the battle first! ”

"Yes!" I answered with Captain Pang and turned around and walked out of the 'cave'?

When I walked out of the air-raid 'hole' at the division headquarters, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and if the command accepted the suggestion of Division Commander Zheng and Political Commissar Wu and pulled back the troops that were still penetrating and 'inserting' into the enemy's depths as soon as possible. But what if you can't? Is there a repeat of the tragedy of losing more than 80,000 people in battle? Tian Shi's loss is only a part of it", if you want to know what will happen next, please log in...
