This meeting gave all the officers and men of the 180th Division a general understanding of the US military, their firepower is very fierce, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is not good, in the words of their predecessors, they are paper tigers, strong on the outside and capable in the middle.

At the end of the meeting, everyone had a small meeting.

Lao Yang gathered a row of soldiers together and asked, "Comrades, how was your harvest today?"

Wang Xiaoliang said happily: "Deputy platoon commander, there are a lot of gains, then the American devils are nothing, but the guys are better than us, except for the guys, they are nothing."

Liu Tiezhu said with a disdainful face: "If they don't have planes, artillery and tanks, you see if they dare to come, grandma, Lao Tzu will not even let them come to the land of North Korea!"

Lao Yang clapped his hands and said, "That's right, the American devils really have nothing to be afraid of, that is, the guys they use are better than us, and without the guys, they are paper tigers, and they will be broken when they are pinched, so this time when we go to North Korea, don't be cowardly, show me the strength of your gnawing bandits, and gnaw this group of American devils fiercely!"

"We must avenge not only the people killed by the American devils, but also the heroes who remained in North Korea!"

"Yes!"

The warriors were full of fighting spirit, clenching their fists hard, and their eyes flashed with bright light.

They spent two days in Langtou Town.

On 21 March, the higher authorities issued an order for the 180th Division of the 60 th Army to enter the DPRK, and the time to enter the DPRK was to cross the river and go to the Korean front line at night.

Logistics prepared a large amount of supplies for the 180th Division.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Company Commander Lei, who had finished the meeting, came over vigorously, "Quick, pack your things and get ready to go!"

Xia Yuan stood up: "One row, assemble!"

The voices of Chen Lie and Ma Shunyao came from there.

"Meet in the second row!"

"Meet in three rows!"

When the soldiers of the first company packed up their things and came to the door, the other teams had already set off, and everywhere were the shaking figures of the soldiers of the 538th Regiment, no one spoke, only the crisp metal collision sound of weapons colliding.

Company Commander Lei straddled the gun around his waist and said, "Let's go!"

They followed the troops in front of them to a supply depot, and the soldiers of the 180th Division had gathered in the courtyard of this supply depot, and were entering and exiting in an orderly manner, and the soldiers who came out were wrapped around a grain bar more than one meter long.

Wang Xiaoliang asked curiously, "What are the things on them?"

Instructor Shao, who was standing in front of him, said, "This is our ration for entering the DPRK, it is full of grain, which can last for seven days, everyone will take some of it and enter the DPRK, and when the food is finished, we will also replenish it on the way."

After waiting in line for about 20 minutes, it was their turn to join them, and the thing they were given was a grain strip more than one meter long, which looked like a thick and long pocket, the middle position was sealed with a cloth, and there was a hole on each side, the left side was filled with sorghum rice, the right side was filled with fried noodles, and the exits on both sides were buckled and straddled around the neck.

Xia Yuan received his own food bar, hung it diagonally around his neck, twisted it, and after not affecting his movements, he carried Bobosha behind his back and wrapped the ammunition around his waist.

Company Commander Lei said, "This left side is sorghum rice, and the right side is fried noodles, everyone should be careful when eating, don't spill it, cross the 38th line, mix fried noodles with cold water. But there are no white flour steamed buns to eat, and the other troops are like us, they also rely on cold water to mix fried noodles, and win the planes and tanks of the American devils, they can do it, we can do the same."

Company Commander Lei hung his grain strip on his body, patted the grain strip and said, "The comrades in the logistics department in China are very thoughtful, worried that the fried noodles have no taste, and when they are making fried noodles, they add salty salt and sesame seeds to them, and when they come to us, they wash them with water, which is convenient, delicious, and delicious."

Instructor Shao hung his food strip around his neck and said with a smile: "The company commander is right, what you don't rely on what you eat, what you wear, what you use, what you use to fight American devils, you rely on people, people will win the day, God we can conquer the United States."

What a devil is!"

The smile on his face flickered, and he said, "When we arrive in North Korea, behind them is our motherland, and the American devils are going to our motherland, so can we watch them go to our motherland like this?"

The warriors raised their arms and shouted, "No!"

Instructor Shao asked, "What can't I do?"

The warriors shouted again, "Drive them away!"

Instructor Shao said, "Yes! We're going to drive them away! We can't let them destroy our country! Wang Huzi's mother was killed by the American devils, and if the American devils are allowed to come to our country, they will become the second Japanese devils."

He gritted his teeth, his eyes widening: "Comrades! Think about what the Japanese devils have done on our land, burning down our houses, robbing us of our food, ruining our wives and daughters, and killing our fathers and villagers! Can you let this happen a second time?"

A soldier with ruddy eyes shouted: "Instructor, my sister was ruined by the Japanese devils, she is only fourteen years old, the Japanese devils are ruined, and they don't even let people go, and they kill my sister with bayonets, I must not let such a thing happen in our country again, absolutely not!"

"Can't! Absolutely not!"

"That's what we're fighting for!"

"***, if you give up this life, you can't let the American devils run to our land and harm people again!"

"Gante ***, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, they are all people, and he won't die if he is shot!"

Driven by the instructors, everyone's enthusiasm for fighting was unprecedentedly high, and they couldn't wait to go to the front line now, stuff the barrel into the mouths of the American devils, and pull the trigger fiercely.

The instructors of the companies that were about to leave for the front line made the final pre-war mobilization.

All the commanders and fighters of the 180th Division were enthusiastic about fighting.

In the final preparations before departure, the soldiers tore off their epaulettes and replaced them with epaulettes unique to the Chinese People's Volunteers, and the strip under the epaulettes was their personal information, also known as the glory strip. Commander Zheng of the 180th Division handed over the military flag of the 180th Division to his superiors, and the Chinese People's Volunteers entered the DPRK to fight as volunteers, not a state unit, so naturally they could not bring the wrong military flag to Korea; it was rumored that the 180th Division was destroyed and the military flag was captured is even more nonsense, but no one who knows that period of history will have no brains to think that the military flag of the 180th Division has also been captured by the enemy.

Under the hazy moonlight, the majestic and high-spirited crossed the Yalu River.

There is nothing to say about the military discipline of the march, few people speak, the soldiers all look at the back of the head of the soldier in front of them, stepping on the steps of the soldier in front, except for the sound of the river rolling, that is, the sound of the weapons on their backs rubbing against each other, the soldiers on both sides turned their heads to look at the Yalu River, and what they saw was only a black expanse.

The emotions in the hearts of the soldiers are inexplicable, and some people will look back in the direction of the motherland as they walk, and stepping on the bridge means that they are going to go abroad to fight.

Company Commander Lei turned his head to look at the motherland behind him and said, "Look back at our motherland, what a beautiful motherland, we must protect her well."

Xia Yuan turned his head to look, it was dark, and he vaguely seemed to see land, and in that darkness, their home was on that land.

As soon as his thoughts fluttered, there was a sudden commotion in front of him, Xia Yuan was instantly alert, and he was keenly aware of a familiar voice, the sound was amplified in his ears, Xia Yuan suddenly raised his head, his pupils shrunk, "Enemy plane!" Enemy planes!"

The order from the herald was heard from afar.

"The whole army is speeding up! Quickly cross the bridge!!"

"The whole army is speeding up! Quickly cross the bridge!!"

The unique engine sound of the bomber pressed down from the sky like a boulder, pressing the soldiers who crossed the river and couldn't breathe, and some of the new fighters were frightened, and under the supervision of the veterans behind them, they reacted and continued to move forward with the footsteps of the soldiers in front of them.

The 180th Division began to accelerate through the bridge, and the division headquarters did not give the order to stop advancing, they only moved forward.

The roar of planes has enveloped the airspace, and the humming sound presses down from the sky

came down, and many soldiers were out of breath.

Comrade Wang Xiaoliang was even more nervous clutching the gun in his hand, and Lao Yang comforted him beside him: "Don't be nervous, as long as the plane does not dive or throw shells, it will be safe."

Xia Yuan ran with the comrades of the 540 Regiment in front of him, while looking up at the sky, with the blessing of night vision and eagle eye, a small group of American bombers appeared in the sky, four F-80 bombers, which can hold 908 kg of shells and are equipped with 2 12.7 mm M3 machine guns.

Before he could take a closer look, the four bombers suddenly turned around and threw shells at their bridge.

The shells fell freely from the sky, making a sharp whistling sound, many soldiers were bombed by the plane for the first time, but fortunately there were comrades next to them, after a short period of panic, they quickly ran towards the land of North Korea, the front troops had already passed the bridge, the shells thrown by the enemy bombers also fell, and there were explosions in several places one after another, the sound of the explosion was particularly loud, like thunder, annihilating the huge roar of the plane.

"Lie down! Find cover! Take care of the new comrades!"

After crossing the bridge, the team was almost a mess, some recruits were stupid and stunned, and the veterans pulled them to lie down in the appropriate position according to their experience and prepared to look up, and soon there were explosions in several places one after another, and three comrades were affected by the shrenchnel splashed after the explosion of the shells and fell to the ground.

Xia Yuan quickly calmed down, followed the footsteps of the person in front of him unhurriedly, and after passing the bridge, he quickly shouted, "One row! A row! Follow me! Be hidden!"

Just a few steps after crossing the bridge, there was the sound of machine gun fire, looking back, it was the second platoon commander of their company, Comrade Ma Shunyao, the tall and big figure was particularly conspicuous, he asked a soldier to help him hold the gun rack, the hat did not know where to throw, controlled a Czech light machine gun at the plane in the sky to pull the trigger, the sound of the machine gun made many soldiers react, took out the gun and opened the safety to strafe the plane in the sky.

The attacked US plane suddenly increased its flight altitude beyond the range of the soldiers' bullets, and in the panic dropped a few shells and retreated in a panic, the roar of the plane gradually disappeared into the clouds, and the ground returned to the calm just now.

That Ma Shunyao didn't know where to take out his hat and put it on his head, and scolded, "Fuck, I didn't see anyone, I didn't dare to come out, a few iron birds are considered birds? If you dare to fly low again, Lao Tzu will definitely kill you."

The commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 538th Regiment shouted: "Everyone organize their belongings and continue to march, the wounded will be sent to the field hospital immediately, next time they will be hidden, don't shoot blindly!"

One of them whispered, "Platoon commander, what about you."

Ma Shunyao pouted at him and put away the machine gun.

"Count the number of people in one class!"

"Count the number of people in the third shift!"

The enemy bombers flew away, the fighters came out of hiding, the sound of counting the number of people sounded all around, and the ranks assembled in a tense but very orderly manner.

"Assemble in a row, assemble in a row!"

Xia Yuan put the gun behind his back and shouted, the submachine gun has a limited range and cannot hit the bombers of the American army in the sky at all, which is why he did not shoot.

The team regrouped, and the three platoons of the first company had been assembled, and Company Commander Lei shouted, "Count the number of people in each platoon and squad!"

Xia Yuan: "Count the number of people in each class!"

Tan Zhanbiao, the leader of the first squad: "Report, the first squad is here!"

Niu Fengyang, the second squad leader: "Report, the second squad is here!"

Zhou Xingyong, the leader of the third squad: "Report, the three squads are here!"

Xia Yuan turned around and shouted, "Report to the company commander, a platoon of personnel has arrived!"

Ma Shunyao had also finished counting the number of people in the second platoon and shouted, "Report that the second platoon is here!"

Chen Lie's voice also came: "Report, the three platoons of personnel have arrived!"

Company Commander Lei looked at the sky and said to Instructor Shao, "Just after crossing the bridge, we were bombed by US bombers, fortunately at night, if it was during the day, it is estimated that something will happen!"

The night affected the sight of the American bomber pilots, and this was during the day

In other words, the bombers of the US military bombed not their team, but their bridge.

Two minutes later, a soldier hurriedly ran over and accidentally fell, and when Instructor Shao saw this, he hurriedly ran over and helped him up from the ground.

"Comrade, which part? Running in such a hurry, what's going on in front of you?"

The soldier choked up and said, "I am from the first battalion of the 540th Regiment, and I went to the division headquarters to report that our battalion commander Wang died in the air raid just now."

This news surprised all the officers and soldiers present.

Even Xia Yuan was a little surprised, just after crossing the Yalu River, he actually sacrificed a battalion commander.

The warrior asked, "Are you all right?"

Instructor Shao patted him on the shoulder and said, "We're fine, you can report it quickly."

Seeing the soldier run away in a hurry, a layer of gloom seemed to be shrouded over the heads of the officers and soldiers around him, and then news came from all companies that some comrades had been injured.

The soldiers were shocked by the casualties caused by the sudden bombardment of enemy planes, and before they could really fight the enemy, they had already wounded so many comrades and sacrificed a battalion commander.
