Chapter 14: Ready to Go

Xia Yuan pursed his lips, listening to the voice of his comrades shouting in his ear, but did not speak.

Wu Qianli nodded: "This matter was indeed thought up by Xia Yuan, this kid is clever, I now regret putting him in the fire platoon." ”

"Company commander, you can't talk and don't talk, Xia Yuan is already a member of my platoon."

When Yu Congrong heard this, he almost didn't do it, he had tried this kid's skills, and he was very strong, at least three or four old soldiers couldn't get close to him, so he was willing to throw it away.

No, absolutely not.

"Okay, don't cry and tease you, look at your bear-like appearance, hurry up and check the equipment."

Wu Qianli slapped this kid and was called away by Mei Sheng.

"Qianli, the division commander called you."

"Okay."

Before leaving, Wu Qianli patted Xia Yuan's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Good job." ”

The others sat in place to rest, just rescued the supplies, and they were really tired, but fortunately, a lot of materials were removed.

Lei Suisheng walked over and sat next to Xia Yuan, spitting out a sigh of anger, and was caught off guard: "I didn't expect you to do it, yes, fortunately, you moved the materials down in advance, otherwise as soon as this iron bird came over, all these materials would be destroyed." ”

"The U.S. military has absolute air supremacy, this bridge is very conspicuous, they will definitely find a way to blow it up when they see it, I just thought about it a little more, and thanks to the company commander who believed what I said."

Xia Yuan was also a little glad to look at the materials that were moved out, saving so many materials, and being able to protect the lives of many soldiers.

Instead, his heart began to worry again, these materials were saved, but how to transport them became a big problem, after all, there were few people and many materials, and although the food strips were light, they couldn't withstand the large quantities, and they were stacked one by one. Not to mention weapons and ammunition, which are expensive.

In this era, bullet casings from wars had to be handed in, and they could not leave their weapons and ammunition here.

It has just crossed the Yalu River, and it is still a long way from the Korean battlefield.

After a while, a little soldier ran to the rest area of the Seventh Company and shouted, "Who is Xia Yuan!" ”

Xia Yuan stood up, "I am." ”

The little soldier said, "The division commander wants to see you." ”

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan got up, and under the gaze of the soldiers of the Seventh Company, his back disappeared.

Yu Congrong looked at Pinghe and Lei Suisheng who were sitting on the side with a questioning expression, "You say, what is the division commander looking for Xia Yuan to do?" ”

Pinghe used a very casual tone, "What else can I do, Xia Yuan has an insight into the enemy's opportunity to blow up the bridge, let us unload the materials in advance, if it weren't for Xia Yuan, this wave of bombing materials would be gone, and people might die." ”

Lei Suisheng sat on the ground, fiddled with his pipe, put it to his mouth and blew it, and said, "I heard the company commander say that Xia Yuan returned from North Korea, and he is very familiar with the situation here. As soon as he joined the company, he asked the company commander to tell him about the weather problem here, but unfortunately there were not enough cotton clothes at the station, but he didn't expect to be right this time. ”

Wu Wanli looked puzzled, and Zhang Xiaoshan looked surprised.

Pinghe's calm gaze looked into the distance, "His vision is unique, and this crisis is thanks to him." ”

It didn't take long for Wu Qianli, Mei Sheng, and Xia Yuan to come from a distance, and the three of them were talking and laughing.

Yu Congrong stood up and hurriedly shouted, "They're back." ”

Everyone gathered around, and Pinghe asked Xia Yuan: "Xia Yuan, what is the division commander looking for you?" ”

Xia Yuan carried the gun on his back and smiled: "It's nothing, the division commander just wanted to see who discovered this problem first, but he didn't say anything." ”

Lei Suisheng took the cigarette butt and said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, it is estimated that this truckload of supplies would have been destroyed by those doggy Yankees." ”

With a faint smile on his face, Xia Yuan saved a train of supplies, and it was worth the trip.

Wu Qianli patted Xia Yuan's shoulder, didn't say anything, he had already said enough just now, his eyes swept over the resting soldiers of the Seventh Company, and shouted: "Gather the Seventh Company!" ”

One hundred and fifty or sixty people, the speed of assembly is very fast, Xia Yuan belongs to the fire platoon, more than thirty people, equipped with a submachine gun Stern submachine gun, this submachine gun, very suitable for the soldiers of the fire platoon, fast rate of fire, large load.

"Bring seven days of food, enough ammunition, and get ready to go!"

"Yes!"

The 7th Interspersed Company performed special escort station missions, unlike those of other companies, so they were destined to separate.

Now that the railroad has been destroyed, the train has been bombed, the 7th Interspersed Company still has a mission on its part, it cannot be delayed for too long, the front line needs a radio.

"Xia Yuan, this is your food, tie it to your body."

Yu Congrong exhaled, the white mist rose, and when he arrived here, the temperature was getting lower and lower, and many soldiers were still wearing warm clothes in the Zhejiang area, which could not withstand the weather on the North Korean side.

The grain strips were filled with white flour and potatoes, tied to his shoulders, and Xia Yuan sat on the ground again, finding some hay and rolling it into a simple rope.

"What are you doing here?"

Lei Suisheng walked up to Xia Yuan, holding a bullet bag full of bullets in his hand, and asked with some curiosity.

"It's too cold here, so tie your feet and necks with straw ropes to prevent cold air from coming in."

Xia Yuan sat on the ground, tied the straw rope tightly to his legs, exhaled slightly, and rubbed his hands.

He didn't complain about the lack of cotton clothes, not to mention the Seventh Company, that is, the entire Ninth Corps, half of the people did not receive cotton clothes, and some companies even had more than a dozen pieces, and the cotton clothes were all worn in turns.

Originally, the logistics department of the Northeast Military Subdivision prepared a changed northern cotton uniform for the Ninth Corps at the rest place in Shenyang, but due to the urgency of time, the Ninth Corps temporarily changed its itinerary, and the soldiers did not receive the supplies prepared in advance, so they had to wear the thin winter clothes issued by the Jiangnan region to enter the DPRK.

According to post-war statistics, the entire Korean battlefield alone lost 50,000 or 60,000 troops due to weather conditions, and the vast majority of soldiers were only subjected to not very lethal gunfire, but they froze to death while recuperating.

Xia Yuan has the heart to change all this, but the wheel of history will not change because of his little stone, there are still many people in the team of the Seventh Company wearing PLA shoes, and they hurriedly entered the court, all he can do is to change what happened in the movie, and just try his best to change.

Lei Suisheng handed the bullet bag to Xia Yuan: "If you are on a mission, you may encounter enemies, don't be reckless, no matter how good your martial arts are, people can knock you down with one shot, protect yourself, and only then will you have a chance to fight back." ”

"Got it."

Xia Yuan's bullet bag was tied to his body, and a few straw ropes were braided and handed to Lei Suisheng.

Lei Gong's clothes, like him, were warm clothes in the Zhejiang area, and the cotton clothes issued at the station were distributed to some younger soldiers in the company.

"Remember to pick up the bullet casings and put them in your pocket." Lei Suisheng did not forget to explain.

Xia Yuan nodded, Lei Suisheng came from the Anti-Japanese War period, at that time, a soldier was poor, and only three or four bullets were allocated, and the battle started, and he had to wait until the enemy walked to a distance of twenty or thirty meters in front of him before shooting, and the bullet casings after the shot had to be collected and brought back.

"Xia Yuan, take out the cotton in your clothes and stuff it into your trouser legs, which can still warm up."

Wu Qianli took the clothes that several soldiers had changed, and a lot of cotton had been removed inside, and Xia Yuan found that the clothes of many soldiers in the company were bulging, and some of the soldiers' clothes and weeds leaked out.

"Okay."

Xia Yuan dismantled some cotton and stuffed it into his trouser legs and shoes, and found some hay to stuff into the upper layer of clothes, feeling warmer, and tore the rest of the clothes into strips of cloth and tied them to his hands as gloves.

Many of the soldiers in the company did this, and forty or fifty pieces of clothing were quickly dismantled by them, and each soldier gained a lot of weight.

"Don't stuff too much, it will affect your actions." Wu Qianli grabbed the straw and stuffed it into his clothes, and he didn't forget to remind him.

In the early days of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the soldiers basically used this way to keep out the cold, stuffing some straw, cotton, and so on into the sandwich of their clothes.

Wu Wanli was wearing a thick cotton suit, looking at the soldiers around him, a little unbearable.

Xia Yuan smiled: "If you are asked to wear it, you will wear it, you are still young, and no one will lift you if you are frozen." ”

Wu Wanli was silent, staring at Xia Yuan's bullet bag.

"Go and ask Daddy Lei if he wants to go."

Xia Yuan just counted the bullets in the bullet bag, thirty-five bullets, not many, but enough, thirty-five bullets, kill thirty-five American devils, and then capture new weapons and equipment, it is best to have a few more military coats.

The straw in his clothes scratched his neck, a little prickly.
