Chapter 979: Hatred and Hatred
Time, time, war is all about grabbing time!
The entry of the Ninth Corps into North Korea is a typical rush for time, and in order to rush for time, they even failed to complete the expected change of clothes and trial training in the northeast, so that they suffered heavy losses after entering North Korea.

But there is no ...... in the war, and China, which has just regained its life, is not the Japan that was 'barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes' in the past, and does not dare to gamble with the fortunes of the country. When the front line is 100,000 urgent, no one can know so many 'ifs' in advance.
And now Zhou Qingfeng is also rushing for time, he has long planned to lead a large army to kill Xingnan Port at the right time. Killing, wreaking, escaping, everything must be done overnight. So every second counts!
The 178th Regiment had already reported Zhou Qingfeng's idea of raiding Xingnan Port to the 60th Division, and even the division headquarters did not dare to make an easy decision on such a major strategic decision, so it could only be reported to the Corps Headquarters again. The Corps also had to consider various issues, and in the end, it had to discuss with the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
In the process of waiting for the resolution, Zhou Qingfeng persuaded himself to calm down his anxious emotions and try to make some advance preparations. After all, there is still some work to be done. For example, let the assault troops change into warm winter clothes and have a good meal.
On a cold winter night, the food was frozen hard. The leadership of the regiment originally wanted to take out the field rations from the warehouses of the American army and eat them. However, in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Zhou Qingfeng decided to ask the logistics personnel of the US army to provide fresh meals enough for 3,000 people.
"You are now captives, if you want to live comfortably, you can be obedient to me. As long as our fighters are fed, it is the turn of the captives to eat. All those who do not cooperate, I will give punishment. Zhou Qingfeng's cold words were enough to make many American prisoners obedient.
Under the supervision of Zhou Qingfeng, the Americans' field kitchen quickly began to work. Professional chefs mass-produce U.S. Army A meals, all with the best ingredients, the best cooking, and the best taste.
Bread, chicken thighs, pork, macaroni, tomato sauce, exotic rich food opened the eyes of the volunteer soldiers who occupied Gutuli. Many people were salivated and shocked at the same time - we can't even eat a frozen potato, but Americans can eat it so well?
Since there are a large number of North Bang soldiers in the U.S. military, rice is also available. Zhou Qingfeng asked the field kitchen to cook porridge, and the warm soup could ease the shriveled stomach of the volunteers a little.
"Listen, don't eat too much at once, or you'll have abdominal pain or even death." The U.S. military has temporarily built a number of restaurants in Gutuli, which can accommodate four or five hundred people at a time. In the dining room, there was a loud reminder from the officers that the hungry soldiers were afraid that they would be strangled to death.
Each battalion has a meal that lasts only five minutes at a time. Start with a bowl of porridge, followed by two eggs and a large bowl of macaroni with meat sauce. In the field kitchen, it was like a group of ragged beggars eating, all the soldiers were eating and devouring, and some were even shedding tears.
Many people have never eaten such a hearty meal. Many soldiers silently thought to themselves: "If we have such a good meal these days, how much physical strength can we replenish and how many fewer comrades-in-arms can we die?" ”
After eating, each soldier carried two large loaves of bread in his pocket, fragrant and sweet fluffy bread. Zhou Qingfeng wanted to match the soldiers with a chicken leg, but the chicken leg was frozen when taken out, so hard that it could be used as a hammer to smash people, and it was impossible to eat at all.
A group of haggard-looking warriors walked into the cafeteria, and five minutes later they came out with glorious faces. The American prisoners who were in charge of feeding were also shocked - these were the same poorly equipped and poorly dressed soldiers who surrounded the 1st Marine Division and fought so hard?
"Did you see that? They didn't even have enough shoes, and many of them had their hands and feet blackened from the cold. ”
"It's as if they've been hungry for days, and they're not starving to death in this environment."
"God, I can't imagine if I could have survived in this situation. Not to mention combat. ”
In the whisper, the U.S. military in the field kitchen can only work hard. Because not all of the captured American soldiers are obedient, and there are also people who want to show 'loyalty and unyielding', and these people have no good fruit to eat.
In the wind and snow outside the cafeteria, there were several stripped marines, who refused to obey Zhou Qingfeng's orders to serve the volunteers. Zhou Qingfeng did not kill them directly, but publicly stripped off their clothes and displayed them in front of everyone.
On a cold night, the temperature dropped to minus 40 degrees Celsius, and there was wind and snow. Without warm clothing, the biting cold can freeze a person in half a minute, and freeze a person to death in two minutes. The cold didn't even give the Marines a chance to repent, and their stiff bodies couldn't say anything.
Seeing their comrades standing outside being frozen into ice-like corpses without mercy, all the American prisoners felt the same and chilled to the bone. No one wanted to show it anymore, and honestly obeyed Zhou Qingfeng's orders.
The Volunteer Army needs not only food cooks, but also a large number of people with specialized skills. First of all, the driver, each car is equipped with two armed volunteer soldiers, and then a US military driver who is driving, and then the company-level cadres lead the team to leave Gutuli.
Not long after, the men of the other two regiments of the 60th Division also came to Gutu like Hanako who entered the city. The warehouse in Gutuli was immediately turned upside down, and all the military uniforms that had been stored were taken out, and rifles, grenades, machine guns, and mortars were immediately replaced.
The entire battalion and the entire battalion ran to eat and drink, and everyone praised the capture of Gutuli as a crucial turning point in the battle. Just filling the belly of a division is enough to make people feel very satisfied.
"Send two battalions to garrison Zhenxingli in the south, and send another battalion to continue to reconnoiter and guard the south by car. Regardless of whether we attack Xingnangang or not, we should send troops to the south. ”
"Dispatch twenty vehicles to send supplies to the 58th Division that surrounded Xiajieyuli. We're living a good life, but we can't forget our brothers. ”
"It's a pity that the planes at the Tuguri airfield can't be used, I really want to send something to every division of the encircling corps."
"The Yankees have a lot of cars and planes, so it's convenient to do anything." After the commander of the 178th Regiment issued a series of orders, he felt extremely refreshed. The speed of transportation by car is extremely fast, and the original arduous road over mountains and mountains can be run back and forth in one or two hours, which is too efficient.
However, behind this efficiency is not so humane, in order to let more US military prisoners serve themselves, Zhou Qingfeng made a 'human statue' of the US military frozen in the snow. None of the commanders and fighters in the regiment could turn a blind eye to this.
But thinking about how many volunteer soldiers would be rescued because of this, no one in the regiment opened their mouths to stop them, and they were even deeply relieved. Only Zhou Qingfeng publicly said, "Isn't it a violation of the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners of war." Don't be afraid, I'll take care of this. ”
The regiment commander was furious when he heard this: "Get out, you little platoon commander, can you carry it?" If you want to carry it, I will carry it, and I will not ask for anything else, as long as I can make the soldiers sacrifice less, I can shoot me. ”
The political commissar of the regiment was also furious, and shouted to the regiment commander: "You are the one who is out of here, you are the military commander, and I am the political commander." This matter is mine, and I will take the initiative to review it with the organization after the war. ”
"Don't make any noise." The leaders of the 60th Division, who arrived in jeeps, walked into the headquarters of the 178th Regiment together, "The leaders of the Corps have studied your suggestion, isn't it just that a few American soldiers have frozen to death, and this matter has already been carried by them." All you have to do is go to war and destroy the port of Heungnam! ”
