Chapter 8 Huishanjin
Chapter 8 Huishanjin
Huishanjin, a small town on the banks of the Yalu River, can look at the beautiful scenery of Northeast China across the river as long as you stand on a high place. However, it is more appropriate to say that it is a small town than a small village, because it is just a few dozen wooden houses built on a vacant land at the foot of the mountains, and the common people have long been persuaded by the volunteers to move, and a few windows that have forgotten to close are crackled by the cold wind, and the broken bamboo blue is lazily rolling on the snow, leaving traces of the road soon covered by the new snow.
But such a depressed village is destined to become a world-famous village tonight. Because it will soon become the farthest, first and only place where the US military has traveled to the border with North Korea.
Since using my suggestion, even with Walker's suspicion, he really thought that the number of volunteers was small, or that they really wanted to withdraw from the battlefield because of the lack of food and ammunition, so they became more and more relieved to rush to the Yalu River, especially the armored troops, who were leading all the way, marching forward day and night.
This made it difficult for our team, which lured the enemy to go deeper, because the enemy who followed behind could only march day and night, and then it was really like being chased by the enemy and running for their lives.
For this reason, I was once again very aggrieved and reprimanded by Commander Chu: "You kid is also taking too hard this medicine, either blow up the enemy on his stomach with a grenade, or let them drive us like ducks...... You're a little measured, you! ”
Oh my god! I couldn't help but cry out a hundred injustices in my heart, if I can make the reactionaries as fast as they want and as slow as they want, then I won't be a god!
As soon as we arrived at Huishanjin on the Yalu River, we had not had time to rest, and we received an order: "Build a position on the spot and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
- It's time to make a move.
My comrades-in-arms and I lay in a trench on a hill next to the village, and we couldn't help but have mixed feelings, because on this hill, we could see our motherland.
It's just that across the river, under the goose-featherlike snow, the scenery on this side of the river is no different from the other side of the river, they are all white, but in our hearts and eyes, it is so different.
On this side of the river, the snow falling from the sky seems to be cold, but on the other side of the river, the snowflakes are a kind of warmth, a kind of warmth, and a beautiful scenery......
When the troops first arrived at the Yalu River, the volunteer soldiers who had been running for several days and nights day and night were also tired, and many soldiers stood on the riverside and looked at the other side from afar, and were reluctant to leave for a long time.
"Homesick?" Company Commander Zhang asked in a low voice.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
……
The comrades-in-arms nodded one after another, in fact, Company Commander Zhang's words were redundant, the soldiers never left the direction of the motherland since they came to this town, even if some places were blocked by the mountains and could not be seen, even when they were building fortifications, they never lowered their heads......
"I want to too!" Company Commander Zhang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, distributed them to his comrades-in-arms, and then said heavily: "Although I have only been away for more than half a month, I feel different from the previous war!" I've been wondering what the hell is wrong with this, you said that we can be considered veterans after more than ten years of fighting! It's only been more than ten days of fighting, why will you be homesick, and when you get here, we will understand! ”
Company Commander Zhang looked across the river, took a long puff of smoke rings, and said: "Our Chinese pay the most attention to the return of corpses, but here ......."
The soldiers were all silent, just staring at the other side of the river in a daze. At this time, I realized more deeply what the volunteers endured, the PLA soldiers have always been buried wherever they died, and if they were fighting in their own country, they were not afraid, but in this foreign country, it meant that after the sacrifice, the family might not even be able to find the monument to worship.
"Comrades!" At this time, Company Commander Zhang threw away the cigarette butt fiercely, stood up and said: "On the other side of the river is our motherland, our people, and our land. You say, 'Can we let the enemy fight him?' ”
"Can't!"
"Do you think we can let the enemy set foot on our soil and destroy our homes with bullets and shells?"
"Can't!"
"Do you say that we can turn the enemy's guns and bayonets at our brothers and sisters?"
"Can't! No! ”
……
The warrior clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and whispered in his throat, although the voice was not loud, but it exuded incomparable determination and killing intent, like a group of tigers lurking in the forest and letting out a low roar at its prey!
I was also infected by this atmosphere, and I only felt that I and the team I was part of were invincible and omnipotent, and no matter how powerful the monster came in front of us, we would not hesitate to rush up and tear it to pieces!
The first enemies to come here are destined to become victims!

“Yeah!”
“Wedidit,Wedidit!”
“Victory!”
……
With a loud American cheer, a group of American GIs arrived at Huishanjin first before dusk.
From the information I have checked, I know that this unit is the vanguard of the US 7th Division, and their division commander is David Barr, because they were the first and only American unit to go to the Yalu River, so their name is honored to go down in history, but it is followed by how they were defeated.
According to the American habit of fighting in Korea, if there is resistance, the puppet army is in front of them and they are behind, and if there is no resistance to take credit, then no one can rob these American GIs who are armed to the teeth! So it was only natural that they would run to the front, but this time they were afraid that what they wanted to take back was not the merit, but the bullets and grenades that the volunteers had prepared for them.
