318: Counterattack on Korea
'Dangdang~~~'
The dense sound of gongs sounded instantaneously in the barracks, and at the same time, the garrison of the ten Korean divisions was full of busy scenes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sound of the gong woke the soldiers from their sleep, and the soldiers who were in a daze instantly looked a little solemn the moment they heard the gong.
The sound of gongs, in general, is impossible to appear in the barracks, and what does the sound of gongs mean? Level 1 combat readiness.
When I get up on weekdays, I use a whistle for training and assembly, and a big drum for the second-level battle, and only the first-level combat readiness will use a gong.
In the more than half a year after coming to this barracks, they only heard the sound of the gong once, and that time was for training, and by the way, let everyone get used to the first-level combat readiness, don't really be first-level combat readiness at that time, but the soldiers were at a loss.
Jin Hengji's eyes were a little confused, he always felt that something big was going to happen recently, but because of his own level, he couldn't know a lot of confidential news.
Now, the sound of the gong finally told him that something really was going to happen.
As for the agreement between Li Xi and Wang Sirui, it is absolutely secret that only the high-level officials know when they will counterattack North Korea.
Even if Wang Sirui doesn't say it, Li Xi will try his best to keep it secret, after all, it is his rivers and mountains that will be restored, Li Xi does not want the Japanese to learn the news in advance, and has already laid a net waiting for him to throw himself into the net.
And for the sake of the confidentiality of the news, on the entire North Korean side, only Lee Hee and Kim and Chul know the specific counteroffensive matters, as for the others, they only know that they are going to counterattack, but when will they counterattack? How to counterattack? But no one knew.
"Quick! Level 1 Combat Readiness! Jin Hengji quickly sat up from the bed, suddenly shouted loudly, and immediately jumped off the bed and packed his quilt directly.
Because he is a member of the exchange group, and Kim Hyung-ji himself trains hard and has excellent grades, so after returning to the barracks, Kim Hyung-ji has been promoted, and now Kim Hyung-ji has long been out of the rank of ordinary soldier, and now, he is a second lieutenant platoon commander.
The dormitory of the North Korean division was a platoon with a large bunk, and the environment was very bad, but no one dared to say anything, and in order to show the attitude of hard fighting, the platoon commander also had to eat and live with the soldiers.
Even the company commander can only have a small room next to the barracks, and eat or something with the soldiers.
"Isn't it going to be another drill? It's been a few comfortable days lately, is it the quiet before the storm? One soldier muttered sleepily, apparently feeling bad to be woken up by a sudden shout.
"Whether it's a drill or not, within ten minutes, everyone has to be ready." Jin Hengji put the packed quilt aside, tied the rice jar or something to the quilt, and after making it, he carried the quilt directly behind his back.
"I'll go to the company commander to ask about the situation, if anyone dares to drag their feet, let's settle the score." Kim Hyung-ji glanced at some of the soldiers who had just gotten up and threatened.
Kim Hyung-ji did not see his company commander, because at this moment, his company commander was also waiting for news from the battalion commander at the battalion headquarters.
The order for first-level combat readiness was directly issued by the people of the regiment headquarters, and now only the regimental commander knows the specific situation, and the troops can only prepare in accordance with the requirements of the first-level combat readiness, and then the commanders at all levels go to their superiors to understand the situation.
The company commander did not come back, but the deputy company commander did not dare to let these platoon commanders just wait.
After all, the order for first-level combat readiness has already been issued, and no matter whether we know the specific situation or not, we still have to make preparations.
While waiting for the company commander to return, the platoon commanders of the four platoons led their troops to the arsenal to receive the corresponding ammunition.
The North Korean division implements a policy of separating guns and ammunition, and no one can take a single ammunition from here without an order.
And this time, the ammunition they received surprised many people.
"What's going on? What's the noise? Kim Hyung-gil pushed through the crowd to the front of the line and reprimanded several soldiers who were arguing with the ammunition depot personnel.
"Platoon commander, they sent me 200 bullets directly, so I asked if it was a mistake? They told me to get out of here, don't delay the people behind to get ammunition, don't you say this is bullying? "A soldier complained, 200 ammunition, if Lao Tzu really took it, will you cry later?
"What? Two hundred bullets? When Kim Hyung-ji heard the amount of ammunition distributed, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In normal training, they only fire five bullets per person at most, which is already considered rich, but this time they send 200 bullets, what does it mean? Did they just give them the whole platoon of ammunition?
"Ensign! After receiving the ammo, quickly lead your troops out of here, and do not affect the other troops to collect the ammo. Just when Kim Hyung-ji was surprised, a captain appeared in the rear, this person Kim Hyung-ji knew, was a guard company commander of the divisional guard regiment, mainly responsible for the ammunition depot of their regiment.
"Sir, did you send the wrong amount of ammunition? Or do we just send 200 in a row? Jin Hengji didn't care about military regulations or military discipline anymore, and asked suspiciously.
"That's right, it's two hundred per person, leave quickly after receiving the ammunition, and your commander will tell you the reason later." The captain and company commander said directly, there was no time to explain anything to Kim Hyungji.
Each soldier had two hundred bullets, four full boxes, and a box of fifty rifle bullets, but each of them had only one ammunition box, and only fifty bullets could be contained at a time.
So much so that many soldiers are able to carry four boxes of bullets to the side to clean up, put what should be loaded into the gun, put it in the ammunition box, and stuff the rest into the satchel.
"Platoon Commander Jin, the company commander is back, let you gather the troops, count the number of people, and then go to the company headquarters." The company's communications soldiers ran all the way to find Kim Hyung-ji.
Kim Hyung-gil was next to the troops, and immediately blew the whistle in his pocket, and the four squads were quickly assembled, and there were many people in the whole platoon, and after confirming the number of people, he hurried to the company headquarters.
When Kim Hyung-ji came over, the other three platoon commanders were already waiting here, Kim Hyung-gil hurriedly reported the gathering of their platoon, the company commander nodded, and then explained: "We waited for half a year, and finally waited for this moment, just an hour ago, the commander-in-chief gave the order to attack, a division of the Royal Army has crossed the Yalu River and opened up a river crossing field for us, and the task of our company is to arrive at Husan before dark, from there to cross the river, and then establish a position in the north of Uiju, Cover the crossing of the river by a large army. ”
"Is it really going to be counterattacked?" The four platoon commanders were stunned suddenly, although they had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, but when this moment really came, they couldn't believe it.
The Royal Army, that is a god-like existence in their minds, they will be the first to cross the Yalu River, and open up a position for them to cross the river, to provide cover for them, this sounds a little dreamy, so unbelievable.
"It's true, the Royal Army only informed us after completing the crossing of the river that our company is the vanguard of our regiment, and our regiment is the vanguard of our division, and our division is the vanguard of the entire Korean army. The company commander said.
"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission."
"Go, the cooking class is already ready at the camp gate, and the troops must eat while walking, and the speed must be fast." The company commander commanded again.
Returning to the unit, Kim Hyung-ji explained the situation to the whole platoon, and then according to the company commander's arrangement, he walked out of the barracks as the first unit of the entire Korean army to set off.
Ten divisions were stationed in different places, and if they set off at the same time, they could not cross the river at the same time, even if they reached the river, after all, there were only four pontoon bridges.
It's not that the engineer battalion doesn't have the strength to build the fifth pontoon bridge, it's that they don't have the equipment to build the pontoon bridge, and even so, the engineer battalion is trying to build a fifth pontoon bridge, but the progress is very slow, and whether it can catch up is one thing.
Each division has a different departure time, the earliest is the division to which Kim Hyung-gi belongs, and they must all leave the camp before 10 o'clock in the morning, and the specific regiment will go first and which regiment will go later, and this division headquarters will be responsible for making arrangements for it, but on the whole, the Korean troops of these 10 divisions must all leave the camp before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and before dawn tomorrow, they must all appear on the other side of the Yalu River.
Near noon, Kim Hyung-ji, who had been halfway through the rapid march, suddenly received a thunderbolt news on a sunny day.
In his platoon, a soldier ran.
That's right, it just ran, the soldier broke away from the team on the grounds of small relief, and then happened to be seen by the second platoon following them and fled, as a result, the second platoon immediately sent a squad to pursue, but in the end it still did not catch up.
There were deserters in the army, which was quite a blow to Kim Hyung-ji.
And before that, the deserter's behavior was even more normal, and there was no reaction of timidity.
Fortunately, only their battalion knew about this matter at present, and the battalion commander immediately ordered the troops to move forward, while sending someone to report the situation to the top.
After all, the regiment commander is not Kim Hyungji, if a soldier behaves normally, then he finally escapes, it can only mean that this is a spy, and he did not run away because of cowardice, but to spread the news.
The news was passed on layer by layer, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, it was finally transmitted to Kim Yo-cheol, and Kim Yo-cheol did not dare to be careless, and told the news to the commander-in-chief Cao Kun.
Although just a deserter, the meaning is different.
Kim & Chol knew very well why the Royal Army would notify them of the plan after they had captured their positions. I was worried that the news would leak out, so as to give the Japanese more time to prepare.
But Cao Kun didn't care, even if he escaped, it was impossible for the news to reach the Japanese in a short time, all the ferries were guarded by troops, and whether the other party could cross the river or not was one thing, swim over? That would have to wait until the evening, but by that time, the vanguard had already crossed the river, and it was harmless.
