Chapter 66: Pretending to be a corpse to avoid the enemy
"Soldiers, go and finish your work, we are fine, just a little wounded, the Chinese are very powerful, we are not their opponents, we need to prepare more ammunition."
Xia Yuan stiffened his face and said unceremoniously to the soldier in front of him in English.
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier immediately saluted and immediately ran away to attend to his own business.
Xia Yuan stared around, saw many soldiers throwing curious glances at them, his face turned cold, and said, "Fuck! Didn't see you come down from the battlefield, did you? Tomorrow when you go to fight the Chinese, you will know how terrible they are, let's go. β
Ignoring the strange eyes of the American soldiers, Xia Yuan waved his hand and left with a few people.
When they walked out of the sight of these American soldiers, the hearts of Ma Da and a few people gradually relaxed.
"You're not afraid that they'll find out about us, and you're still shouting at them."
Chen Lie was a little nervous, and he almost took out the gun just now.
"Don't be afraid, they won't find out about us."
Xia Yuan grinned, very confident, staring at the trucks coming in and out in the distance, and said: "These tanks can't be blown up, start with the trucks, ammunition, medicine and food, this is our goal, the foreign devils didn't find us, we are safe, but you don't run to crowded places, often dangling in front of their eyes, it is still easy to be exposed." β
"Don't worry, Lao Xia, we are still sure in our hearts."
Ma Da grinned, with a smile on his face, walked to the side, pried open the box with the bayonet behind him, and looked at the contents of the box with green light in his eyes, "Grandma's, foreign devils are really rich, so many cans." β
He took out three of them from inside and threw them to the three of them, "Lao Xia, it's better to eat first, and then you can work when you're full." β
"You guy, okay, eat first."
Xia Yuan smiled, pulled over a box, sat on it, glanced at the words on the can, and said with a smile: "Potatoes and beef, hey, this is a good thing, give you a taste." β
"Potato beef!"
There was a green glow in the eyes of the three men.
The things that this foreign devil eats are really luxurious, there are many types of canned food in the box, potatoes and beef are just one of them, as well as bean sausages, canned pears, vegetable chicken soup, pecan cakes, biscuits and jams, and the accessory bag contains cigarettes, water purification tablets, chocolate, coffee and matches, and candy, which is the 24-hour rations of the US army, with more varieties and more luxury.
There are seven cans in a small carton, two accessory packs, and a large box with six small cartons.
There are many kinds of canned food produced by the U.S. military, which began to be continuously upgraded from the time of World War I, to the Korean War, the U.S. military has more than a dozen kinds of canned food, the most common of which is canned breakfast and 24-hour rations, the content is almost the same, instant coffee, candy, chocolate, biscuits, cigarettes and matches are the most basic.
Ma Da opened one, the liquid inside exuded a mellow smell, and he couldn't help but taste it, and his eyes lit up: "It's so sweet, Lao Chen, come and taste mine, it's so sweet." β
Chen Lie stared at the biscuit in his hand, put it in his chew, walked to the side and sat down, and said, "Hurry up and eat, after eating, start moving." β
Liu Tiezhu lay on the ammunition box, looking around vigilantly while eating, and from time to time American soldiers passing by, they immediately lowered their heads vigilantly, and the mountains of various materials became their cover.
"Platoon commander, what do you see in those tents?"
When Liu Tiezhu looked back, he noticed that the tent behind them was black and rumbling, there was not even a human figure, and he could faintly smell a faint stench floating in the air, and he was staring behind him while eating the strange-tasting chocolate in his hand.
"The tent where the U.S. military put the corpses, basically no one comes to this location, and it is very safe."
Xia Yuan chewed the beef and said contentedly.
This is also the reason why he chose this position, who would run to the tent where the corpses were placed, even the US military itself avoided it.
Liu Tiezhu scratched his head, "No wonder the foreign devils outside stayed away when they approached here, it turned out that there were corpses over there, and they even disliked the corpses of their own people, weren't those people their comrades-in-arms?" β
Comrades-in-arms, comrades, these concepts only exist in the army of the volunteers, and seeing fraternal troops is like seeing one's own relatives, which is much rarer in the US military, and in the eyes of US soldiers, the soldiers of other units are just their own people, and they are far from the idea of treating them as their own relatives.
Therefore, the corpses carried down from the battlefield were placed in the camp tents and covered with white cloths, and basically no one came over this big night.
Xia Yuan didn't know how to tell Liu Tiezhu, so he could only say vaguely: "Different cultures lead to different ideologies." β
After eating the canned potatoes and beef in his hand, his stomach was still a little empty, seeing that Xia Yuan finished eating, Ma Da opened a box again, and couldn't understand what was written on it, so he threw Xia Yuan a can at will, and couldn't help complaining: "Mother, I've lost my leg, I'm dead, what is this, give it to you, eat more, there are not many opportunities like this." β
Xia Yuan smiled, his ears moved slightly, and he immediately got up and put away the cans, "Someone is here!" Follow me! β
Liu Tiezhu saw that more than 20 meters away from them, there was a group of American soldiers carrying the corpse and walking in this direction, so he immediately jumped down, "A group of foreign devils, carrying the corpse, it is estimated that they are here to transport the corpse." β
Xia Yuan looked around, and had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart, "Follow me!" β
In the tent where the corpses were placed, the corpses of the American soldiers were next to each other, covered with white cloths, Xia Yuan grabbed the white cloth placed at the door of the tent and said, "Will it be a corpse?" β
The three of them immediately understood what Xia Yuan meant, and one took a piece of white cloth, walked to the empty position and lay down, and covered the white cloth on his body.
At this time, the voice of the American soldier was already heard outside the military tent, Xia Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, glanced at Chen Lie opposite, nodded, and went behind him, which was a little crowded left and right, so he arched to both sides, and then covered himself with a white cloth along his feet.
Inside the tent, there was a foul smell floating, and a group of American soldiers carried the corpses that had just been transported from the battlefield into the camp tent, and their chattering conversation sounded in their ears, Ma Da Man, Liu Tiezhu and Chen Lie They couldn't understand it, but Xia Yuan heard it clearly.
"So many people died, and the bodies of many people were not carried down, and the bodies of the Chinese and our own people were thrown on the positions."
"I hate war!"
"Jerry, be quiet, do you want to be heard, sir? He'll scold you. β
"Scold and scold, I don't care anymore, my friends are all dead, dead at the guns of the Chinese, tomorrow I will take revenge."
"The chief is not saying that the Chinese are out of food and ammunition, this is our best chance."
"Man, be careful, the Chinese are very powerful, listen to my friends on the front line, the Chinese are not afraid of death, they have no food and ammunition, they dare to rush at us with grenades, and die with us, my friend has seen several Chinese, rushing to them with a black stick, and many people have died."
"They're such a formidable opponent."
"It's like the Japanese."
"The Japanese are okay, they will also be afraid, the Chinese are different, they rush over, they are completely deadly, they are not afraid of death."
"Oh, that's a terrible opponent."
βohοΌ shitοΌ It stinks! I can't stand it anymore, let's hurry up and finish the retreat. β
"I heard from the chief that these bodies should be gathered and burned, saying that the ashes were to be transported back to China."
Several American soldiers carried corpses, threw them on the ground at random, and covered the corpses with a white cloth, these corpses were still intact and could be carried back, some of the corpses were broken, and the internal organs flowed out, which was terrible.
Smelling the rancid smell in the air, the group of American soldiers urged after disposing of the bodies that had been brought back.
"Guys, hurry up, it's always uncomfortable to stay here."
"You're under too much psychological pressure, let's go, I'll invite you to a beer."
"Oh man, you still have beer, that's great, I've long run out of beer, damn war, I had to drink to forget about the brutal war."
"Relax, the war is about to end, the commander said, the Chinese are doomed."
"The best thing to say is true, I can't wait to go home."
The voice gradually drifted away, four pieces of white cloth were lifted suddenly, and Ma Da grinned unceremoniously: "What are you talking about, it's even worse than what the Japanese devils say." β
Chen Lie stared at the newly appeared corpses, looked away and touched the gun under him, and then said with peace of mind: "Okay, don't complain, both of them talk ugly." β
His eyes turned and he stared at Xia Yuan: "Old Xia, what are we going to do next." β
"It's a good place to disguise, and if no one comes, use this as our meeting point, and if we get separated, we just wait here."
Xia Yuan got up, rolled up the white cloth and threw it in the frame on the side and continued: "Let's get the foreign devil's car first, I've already taken a good look, there are several truckloads that haven't been unloaded yet, this is our chance." β
Time is pressing, after taking them around, Xia Yuan also has a basic grasp of the enemy's station, the cannons of foreign devils are all in front, not far from the mountain pass, it is estimated that the cannon is placed in the mountain pass for the convenience of transporting out. All kinds of materials are in the station at the back, and they are placed irregularly, and they can be seen everywhere piled up.
Here, Xia Yuan has already begun to act, the number of US soldiers who are busy at night is limited, and it is obviously impossible to unload all the supplies at once, which also gives them the opportunity, there are two truck drivers of the US soldiers, one is one and one pair, and they can be seen leaning on the side of the truck from a distance smoking cigarettes, or holding a cup of steaming coffee, drinking comfortably.
In the distance are busy American soldiers.
"After disposing of them, the bodies are dropped under the truck, and the movements should be fast and clean."
Xia Yuan advised, and looked at Ma Da with anxiety and said, "Don't be like last time, this time I will try to kill completely." β
"Don't worry, I was careless last time, but not this time, Lao Tzu will definitely kill them."
Ma Da was still holding a can, stretched out his dirty hand to grab the food in the can and put it in his mouth, he didn't care about anything, when he moved, he threw the can in the corner of the side, pulled out the bayonet behind his back, and nodded at Xia Yuan.
With the help of the accumulation of materials to cover, after touching the buttocks of the truck, they went around behind the two truck drivers who were talking and laughing, the four of them had an orderly division of labor, Xia Yuan and Liu Tiezhu touched behind a truck driver who was smoking, Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to cover the mouth and nose of this foreign devil, Liu Tiezhu quickly grabbed his legs and put him down, and then pulled out the bayonet and stabbed it into the other party's neck, blood gushed out along the bayonet, Liu Tiezhu slashed the bayonet slightly to the side, magnifying the wound.
The truck driver, who was pinned to the ground by the two of them, trembled continuously, and after a while, he stopped moving.
On the other side, Ma Da and Chen Lie had also eliminated another driver, and they touched the car key from this driver.
"Look at what's on the truck, you drag the body under the truck."
Xia Yuan sent his hand, wiped a handful on the corpse of the foreign devil, wiped the blood on his hands, grabbed the edge of the truck, climbed up, pulled out the bayonet behind him and pried open the box on it, and glanced at the general idea in his heart.
Below, Ma Da asked, "What's it pretending to?" β
"Ammunition, quite a few bullets, presumably grenades and bullets from heavy machine guns."
Xia Yuan jumped down, looked at the ground, and made sure that there was nothing missing, so he asked, "What about the car keys." β
"Here it is."
Chen Lie shook the key in his hand and said, "It's okay with ammunition, we have captured a lot of guns from American devils, but there is no ammunition." β
After a pause, he asked, "Are there any shells?" β
"I don't think there's that thing, some bullets and grenades, big eight, Thomson's, carbines, and light and heavy machine guns we captured, there must be a lot."
A truckload of ammunition can supply the 538th Regiment to fight a blocking battle.
Xia Yuan wondered, do you want to get some foreign devil's shells, think about it again, forget it, get more medicine and food, as well as ammunition, this is serious, how many shells can be pulled in a car, although that thing is very useful, but the role of ammunition is not small, not to mention food and medicine.
All the officers and men of the 538th Regiment have been without food for two days, and many soldiers are fighting hungry, and the only thing they can eat may be wild vegetables, how many wild vegetables there are, one battalion and three battalions, as well as comrades in organs and machine guns, there must be thousands of people, and eating and drinking every day is a problem.
A cartload of food is just an emergency, but unfortunately it can't take everything with it.
Liu Tiezhu can also drive, the four of them drove four cars, Xia Yuan has already decided, two carts of medicine, one cart of ammunition and one cart of food, if nothing else, that's basically it.
Xia Yuan took them, and he was not afraid of his hands and feet, and swaggered under the noses of the American devils, and the four cars and car keys were quickly obtained, and the original truck was full of supplies, and there could be more on it, and when no one was paying attention, the four of them carried some more food, ammunition and medicine and put them on the car.
A few people who finished it were a little excited, if they really pulled out these four truckloads of supplies, they could alleviate the problems faced by the 538th Regiment, for them, the credit was secondary, and the key was how to help the 538th Regiment.
