Chapter 109: Advance Team
Sure enough, in the evening of the next day, the regiment announced an emergency assembly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
More than 10,000 people sat quietly in the pine forest, and every warrior's heart was hot, and he didn't care about the coldness under his buttocks.
"Comrades, everyone in the first few battles was very heroic and made great sacrifices, but compared with other brother units, we have not done enough!
Now, Shiji has given us a new combat mission. This time, the commander has already issued a military order from the boss to seize Tokugawa at all costs and block the enemy's rear route! ā
Speaking of this, the head of the regiment stopped and roared with a serious face: "Do you have confidence? ā
"Yes!" The warriors below blushed and roared.
The head of the regiment nodded with satisfaction, waved his big hand and said, "Let's go!" ā
The company commanders quickly went out of the ranks, gathered their subordinates, and rushed to Tokugawa!
In order to avoid being discovered by US fighters, the volunteers chose to go out day and night, and tried to choose remote paths to march. When encountering dangerous terrain, the fighters pulled one by one, and their speed did not decrease at all.
Accidents and casualties were inevitable, and on the first night, a soldier accidentally fell off a cliff. No one stayed, and there was no time to grieve, everyone gritted their teeth and went all out towards the goal!
In the end, our whole army arrived at the scheduled assembly point on the night of the 23rd, a full day and night ahead of the original plan!
"Ho-ho, I'm finally.. I finally understand why the UN forces lost this war," Anthony said as he lay on the snow, panting.
"Shut up!" Jiang Yitao hurriedly asked him to shut down and looked around vigilantly.
I pretended not to hear and checked my newly acquired Garand rifle.
"Li Tian, come out for a while"
The regiment commander suddenly came to me with several volunteer soldiers and called me out. After leaving the crowd, he looked at my leg and asked, "Is the injury healed?" ā
"Alright," I gestured to him by jumping on the spot a few times.
"That's good, this is Section Chief Zhou, you get ready, and leave with him immediately", the regiment commander said, pointing to an unfamiliar officer.
"I don't have anything to prepare, I can leave at any time," I wondered in my heart, but I didn't say it.
Not only me, but the regiment commander called a few more soldiers out one after another, and they were also handed over to Section Chief Zhou's leadership. After leaving our regiment, this section chief Zhou went to other units to pick people, plus the soldiers he originally brought, and the final number reached 321.
We gathered in a separate camp, and Section Chief Zhou walked to the front and spoke for the first time.
"My name is Zhou Wen, and I am the leader of the advance team that will be established. You will all be members of this advance team, and the military department has given us a confidential mission. From now on, no one is allowed to leave this camp until we set out, and violators will be treated as deserters. Do you understand? ā
"Understood!" Although it is not yet known what the task is, the volunteer soldiers have no objections.
We were divided into three teams, each with more than 100 people, and I was in one team, under the direct command of Zhou Wen. After regrouping, Zhou Wen announced his disbandment and left the camp.
The soldiers were accustomed to being divided into small groups according to their original troops, and I found a corner alone to pull up my collar and rest, and I didn't have time to rest during this period of marching.
Although there are a few uninhabited North Korean houses not far away, no one chooses to live in them, because they are often the first targets of bombing by US aircraft.
In the evening of the next day, Zhou Wen returned with several horse-drawn carts, all loaded with weapons and ammunition.
"Assemble!" Zhou Wen jumped out of the carriage and shouted.
The soldiers hurriedly ran out of the corner and stood in accordance with the detachment of last night.
Zhou Wen inspected them one by one, and replaced the old sleeves in the hands of the soldiers, the Chinese official and other weapons with strong characteristics of the Volunteer Army. Swap into a Type 38 rifle or a Garand.
After the inspection, Zhou Wen came to the front and tore off the volunteer army logo on his chest and hat and said: "Take off all the things that represent your identity and carry out the order!" ā
Looking at these actions, I probably understood that our mission must be to penetrate behind enemy lines to cause sabotage.
After the soldiers were ready, Zhou Wen checked it again, and announced his departure after all of them were qualified.
It soon darkened, and there was a faint cloud in the sky tonight, which looked a little dim in the moonlight.
Led by a North Korean guide, we arrived at the Taedong River at about 10 o'clock in the evening, and there used to be a bridge on the river, but it had been blown up. The U.S. military has a pontoon bridge here, but it is heavily guarded and impassable.
The North Korean guide motioned for us to be quiet, and then led us through the dense forest to the bright river.
In our amazed gaze, this guide actually stepped on the river and walked to the opposite side. When I got there, I realized that there was a wooden bridge hidden under the water, and we secretly crossed the Taedong River under the noses of the garrison American and South Korean troops!
After crossing the bridge, the speed of the march increased sharply, and Zhou Wen actually took us directly onto the road!
After walking for less than five minutes, car lights appeared in front of them, and the volunteer soldiers habitually wanted to dodge, but they were immediately stopped by Zhou Wen.
"Relax, don't talk, leave it to us!"
Zhou Wen checked the team again and ran with us. Several cars passed by us, and the speed did not slow down in the slightest, but the South Korean troops following behind looked at us a few times, and several soldiers waved at us.
It can be seen that the volunteer soldiers are still a little nervous, many of them involuntarily grabbed the rifle straps, their bodies were also a little stiff, and there were crutches when running. Fortunately, the night was dark, and the enemy flashed by, and no abnormalities were found.
Along the way, we encountered several waves of enemy troops, and several patrols took the initiative to give way to us when they saw that we were outnumbered, and it is estimated that no one thought that our troop of more than 300 people was actually a volunteer army.
The more you advance to the rear of the enemy, the fewer the enemy becomes, and it seems that the enemy's focus is still on the frontline area, and the rear is very empty.
The sky slowly brightened, and Zhou Wen began to become anxious, constantly urging to speed up. Without the cover of night, it was easy for enemy patrols to identify us, after all, we had not changed our clothes.
The US fighter planes in the sky passed by from time to time, and a few low-altitude planes circled around us several times, which frightened my back wet, but fortunately, the US fighter planes did not see anything and finally left.
After the enemy plane left, Zhou Wen ordered to speed up again, and the soldiers had a premonition that the battle was coming, and while running, they stuffed steamed buns into their mouths, I tried it, and I was almost choked, this kind of difficult skill is not something that ordinary people can do.
After a night of running, we finally came to the mission area after 7 o'clock in the morning, and saw the target of the attack - Wulingli Bridge!
