Chapter 42: Charcoal in the Snow

Thirteen cotton clothes, even if they are a little shabby, are much, much better than the autumn winter clothes they wear.

Although the soldiers of the sixth company were so frozen, the movements in their hands were very quick, and they quickly took off thirteen cotton clothes and warm clothes, including cotton pants, cotton boots and cotton socks, but the cotton socks were already soaked, and the soldiers did not dislike them, these were life-saving for them, and some soldiers even put their socks in their arms and wanted to dry them by body temperature.

The instructor of the sixth company arranged, "The clothes were distributed to the soldiers with severe frostbite, and the excess clothes were worn by everyone in turn." ”

Wang Yonghe stuffed the military coat into the instructor's arms, "Instructor, give the coat to the soldiers with severe frostbite." ”

The instructor glanced at Xia Yuan, "Comrade Xia Yuan, you give us the coat, yourself..."

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "Instructor, don't worry, I'm strong, this cold is nothing, and I'm still wearing cotton clothes." ”

At this time, a soldier's keen eyes noticed that blood was oozing out of Xia Yuan's abdomen, and he hurriedly said, "Comrade Xia Yuan, your abdomen is injured!" ”

Xia Yuan lowered his head and reached out to touch it, only to find that because he was too excited just now, he actually tore the wound again, and the wound that was slowly healing was torn again, and blood seeped out.

Xia Yuan said: "It's not in the way, this is a small injury, it was almost healed, it is estimated that the wound was torn when he was exercising just now." ”

Wang Yonghe's face was serious: "How is the injury a trivial matter, hygienist, treat the wound for Comrade Xia Yuan." In addition, the coat is not needed, your body is more important. ”

"Then the body of the comrades is not the body? We are the same, they need this military coat even more. ”

Xia Yuan couldn't help but stuff the military coat into Wang Yonghe's hand, looked at the sky, and said: "Company Commander Wang, Director Li, this is not the place to talk, I will take everyone to get things first, and then deal with the wound after taking the things." ”

Wang Yonghe asked curiously: "Things?" What is something that is important? ”

Xia Yuan said: "A batch of supplies, I killed a reconnaissance platoon of the South Korean army and captured it, and there are a lot of military coats, just enough to replenish the soldiers in the company." ”

Instructor Li and Wang Yonghe were obviously a little shocked, the two looked at each other, and Wang Yonghe asked: "You eliminated one of the enemy's reconnaissance platoons, and you killed it yourself?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded, "Well, there were originally three cars, one of which fell into the ditch, but I was alone, I could only choose a Jeep, and I would take everyone with me now." ”

Seeing that the two of them were a little unconvinced, Xia Yuan took them to the place where he hid the car, and the soldiers of the sixth company opened the branches on the car, revealing a jeep with a military coat, and under the military coat was a cotton suit and some weapons and equipment.

Instructor Li walked up, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, good guy, there is even a heavy machine gun!" ”

Wang Yonghe circled around the jeep in disbelief, and asked with a shocked face: "You seized all of them alone?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded, and pulled down a bundle of cotton clothes and military coats from the car, "Yes Company Commander Wang, these things were captured by me alone, the comrades' clothes are very thin, and they can't withstand the cold at all, hurry up and change these clothes." ”

"Comrade Xia Yuan, you really want to hand over these things to us."

"Company Commander Wang, don't shirk it, don't give it to anyone, don't be stunned."

Instructor Li happily took Xia Yuan's hand, "Comrade Xia Yuan, thank you for bringing us such a batch of supplies!" This batch of supplies is very important to us! ”

Due to the serious scarcity of cotton clothing, some soldiers only received a pair of shoes, or a pair of pants, or a shirt, not to mention the bedding, during the period to resist US aggression and aid Korea, a squad could only get two or three bedding.

This batch of materials is definitely a send-off in the snow for the thinly clothed Sixth Company.

Instructor Li hurriedly arranged for some soldiers with severe frostbite to change their clothes into these, and collected the clothes they took off and put them on for other fighters to wear, and there were sleeping bags, shoes, socks, gloves and some cotton clothes on the car, so that many soldiers with weak physique could rest in their sleeping bags when they rested at night.

In this way, each squad of the company was given two or three overcoats, two or three sleeping bags, two or three pairs of cotton boots, socks and gloves, and two or three water bottles, which was much better than when he first arrived.

The soldiers assigned to the cotton boots wanted to give the cotton boots to other soldiers, but under the repeated orders of the Wang company commander, they sat on the snow with their butts, pulled their feet out of the snow, revealing a single rubber shoe stuffed with straw, the shoes were already soaked, and the feet were red and swollen from the cold, and the feet of many soldiers had festered, and when they took off their socks, the socks were connected with skin and flesh, sticking down piece by piece, such a scene, Xia Yuan was sad to watch, he turned his head over, and he didn't want to see this scene.

Watching the soldiers pack up the supplies on the car, Instructor Li asked the hygienist to treat Xia Yuan's wounds, Xia Yuan took out the medicine seized before and asked the hygienist: "Do you know what medicine this is?" ”

The hygienist held it in his hand and said, "I know this, it's an anti-inflammatory drug, but these... I don't understand it, I guess you need to try to know, this is also what you seized? ”

"Well, from those Koreans."

Xia Yuan nodded, and stuffed the medicine to the hygienist: "You take the anti-inflammatory medicine, there will definitely be a time when it can be used in the future, even if you don't understand these medicines, you don't dare to use them rashly if you don't understand them." ”

"You are so powerful, one person actually wiped out a platoon, not long after we entered the DPRK, we haven't even seen American devils yet."

The hygienist carefully untied Xia Yuan's bandages and said, "You bear with it." ”

"Hmm."

The hygienist untied the bandages on Xia Yuan's body, looked at the wound, and said in surprise: "You got these herbs yourself?" ”

"This is after I was wounded, in a village after being bombed by the enemy, I met a surviving North Korean who helped me get it, and the next day I slept to death, she got up to help me collect herbs, but I didn't expect the US military to come, she led the US soldiers away in order to protect my safety, and was killed by the US soldiers."

The hygienist did not expect such a thing, and he said in a deep voice: "We will definitely drive out these invaders and give the Korean people a home free of war." ”

Xia Yuan nodded heavily.

The hygienist helped Xia Yuan treat the wound, reduce inflammation, and put some medicine on the wound, he looked at the bottles and cans that he didn't know, and stuffed them into his medicine box: "Don't lose these medicines, it's a pity to lose them, I'll keep them for myself to ponder." ”

Xia Yuan didn't say anything, Dong Yuan ran over with a military coat and draped it on Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan looked back, "This military coat is left for you to wear." ”

Dong Yuandao: "Comrade Xia Yuan, this military coat was specially requested by the company commander to be left to you, and there are gloves, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have a military coat, the soldiers are very grateful to you, and they also agree." ”

Instructor Li walked over with a few soldiers, as if he was worried that Xia Yuan had a psychological burden, so he said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, we also want to thank you for sending us such a batch of supplies, there are many wounded people in the company who have been frostbitten, if they continue, they may not even be able to go to Changjin Lake, thanks to your supplies, if it weren't for your supplies, they would probably have fallen on the way to the march, you should wear this military coat, not to mention that you are also a wounded, everyone said yes." ”

"Yes, Comrade Xia Yuan, you can wear it."

"If it weren't for Comrade Xia Yuan, many of our soldiers might have fallen on the road in a daze, thank you Comrade Xia Yuan."

This made Xia Yuan embarrassed, so he had to accept their kindness, put on a military coat, and put on gloves, Xia Yuan suddenly felt that this dress became extraordinarily warm.

On the jeep, after the military overcoats, cotton boots, cotton socks, gloves, and sleeping bags were distributed to each platoon and each shift according to the number, there were still a lot of guns and bullets on the car, and what shocked several platoon commanders and Wang Yonghe even more was that in addition to the rifles, there was actually a heavy machine gun, plus two light machine guns, and two recoilless guns plus seven shells.

"Company commander, this is a good baby!"

The second platoon leader's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his palm, which had cracked one by one, and gently stroked it on the heavy machine gun.

"Second platoon commander, what are you making, how can you touch the heavy machine guns of our platoon."

The long line was a big Shandong man, grinning and speaking with a thick Shandong accent.

The commander of the third platoon was not happy when he heard it, "What are you in the second platoon, obviously we are in the third platoon, this time our third platoon will suffer a loss, the light machine gun will be given to you, this baby pimple will be given to us." ”

Wang Yonghe looked at the three platoon commanders under him happily, "These things are not ours, they were seized by Comrade Xia Yuan, if you want it, go and ask him if he agrees." ”

When Shandong Dahan heard this, he hurriedly ran to Xia Yuan's side and asked, Xia Yuan heard that this was the case, and said with a smile: "These weapons were originally for you, I have my own gun, and that thing is too heavy, even if I want to bring it to our company, I can't carry it alone, so let your company commander arrange the distribution." ”

Wang Yonghe walked over, patted the shoulder of the second platoon leader, and smiled, with these weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of their sixth company will be greatly improved.

One heavy machine gun, two light machine guns, plus two recoilless guns and seven shells, as well as a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

Wang Yonghe happily closed his mouth, walking on the road can still pick up so much equipment for nothing, the most important thing is people, this kid has destroyed a reconnaissance platoon, needless to say, combat effectiveness, if you can stay in the company temporarily, you will earn more than this batch of equipment.
