As soon as Deputy Division Commander Duan got up and walked outside, a voice came in from outside.

"Division commander, division commander, Xia Yuan, the commander of the first battalion and the first company of the 538th Regiment is here!"

Xia Yuan!!

This name is not unfamiliar to Deputy Division Commander Duan, Division Commander Zheng, and Chief of Staff Wang, and some time ago, this guy's combat deeds were all spread to the division headquarters, causing a lot of sensation, and being used as a positive teaching material for the whole division to publicize, greatly boosting the combat morale of all the officers and men of the 180th Division.

What I didn't expect was that he would come here.

Deputy Division Commander Duan's footsteps were also half a beat slower, and he turned his head to look, a tall young man was standing at the entrance of the division department, the skin and flesh on his face were cracked and covered with dust, and the cotton clothes on his body were still clean.

"Deputy Divisional Commander!"

Walking in front, the soldier suddenly saluted and greeted Deputy Division Commander Duan.

Xia Yuan was a little surprised to look at the man in front of him who was a little haggard and not much older than himself.

Deputy division commander?

He immediately stood up and saluted: "Deputy division commander!" ”

"Let's go first, the division commander is waiting inside."

Deputy Division Commander Duan waved his hand, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, division commander, I also want to call the people of the reconnaissance platoon, they often conduct reconnaissance on the right flank, and they should be very familiar with the situation of the 63rd Army." ”

Xia Yuan's ears moved, and his eyes fell on a man with a cigarette in his fingers in front of the table, the man's expression was a little vicissitudes, he was in his thirties, his beard was pulling tea, he was looking up at him, and when he heard Deputy Division Commander Duan's words, he nodded and motioned Deputy Division Commander Duan to get busy.

The 63rd Army on the right flank, it seems that the 63rd Army retreated last night, and when it goes back, it will prepare for the Cheorwon blockade battle, which is quite tragic.

Now I went to the 63rd Army, could it be that it was to discuss the next defensive issues.

According to the problems faced by the 180th Division at the present stage, it is obvious that it is the most correct choice at the moment to go to the 63rd Army on the right flank to discuss the issue of common defense, and the enemy they are facing is full of three divisions, and relying on the strength of the 180th Division is completely insufficient to deal with the three divisions of the US army.

Don't say it's three divisions, in fact, the 180th Division can't even deal with the frontal American Seventh Division.

If there was sufficient logistical support, it would be fine, the fighting was fierce, and at least it could stop the enemy from attacking northward, but the 180th Division was not only facing the encirclement of three divisions, but also faced the situation that the logistical supply line was completely cut off by the enemy.

Xia Yuan put himself in the position of the commander of the 180th Division, and after receiving the task of defending on the spot and blocking the enemy's northern attack from his superiors, knowing that he could not complete it, he would definitely contact the 63rd Army to discuss the next strategy to deal with the enemy.

It is a pity that the 63rd Army had already left Qingpingchuan on the evening of the 22nd.

The division headquarters has not received this news yet? Xia Yuan's heart moved, looking at the expressions of the division commander and deputy division commander, he should not know the news that the 63rd Army had retreated, and if he knew, he might not choose to stay and stop the enemy.

He did not inform the division headquarters of this news, they only needed to contact the 63rd Army briefly, and found that the 63rd Army could not be contacted, and they could basically guess it.

Deputy Division Commander Duan walked in front of Xia Yuan and said: "The combat hero of the first battalion, yes, I like you very much, it is very similar to me back then, but you are more powerful than me, I took a company to defend the position at that time, and fought with the little devils for two days and one night, and you took five people to dare to touch the position of foreign devils, and it is also very powerful." ”

He patted Xia Yuan's shoulder and said to Nunu inside: "Go ahead." ”

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan admires these revolutionaries of the older generation, who have gone all the way from the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and started from scratch, they have experienced too much.

Deputy Division Commander Duan didn't say anything more, and walked past him, his figure burrowing into the sunlight and gradually turning into a blurred black shadow.

"Here we are." Master Zheng was lighting a cigarette and pointing to a chair with a smile on his face, as if he had met an old acquaintance, "Sit." ”

"Commander, I've violated discipline!"

Xia Yuan didn't sit down, he stood there fixedly, like a tree stump.

"It's a violation of discipline, I know, you withdrew with a company." Master Zheng sat on the stool, and then pointed to the stool in front of him: "Sit down." ”

Xia Yuan sat down and said, "Commander, do you know everything?" ”

"Since you were in the newspaper and became a combat hero, I, Lao Duan, and Lao Wang have always paid attention to your news, and the superiors did not give a company an order to retreat, but you appeared here, you are disobeying the military order without authorization, tell me, why did you come to the division headquarters."

Master Zheng summoned the confidential secretary, poured a cup of tea for Xia Yuan, and struck a match by himself, and the faint firelight reflected the vicissitudes of life on his cheeks.

"Division commander, the company is gone, and only one squad of fighters remains, and two of them are still comrades of the machine gun company."

Xia Yuan's voice was a little heavy, and he said: "The position can't be held, if it weren't for the comrades of the 539th Regiment to support, a company would have been wiped out on the position, and when there were more than a dozen people left, the enemy organized another wave of charges, a battalion, five tanks, and with the assistance of long-range artillery, launched an attack on the position, we did not retreat, we withstood it, and suffered heavy casualties." ”

Division Commander Zheng paused a little, slowly lit a cigarette, put his fingers between his knees, and said: "The casualties of the companies in charge of the front-line battles are very large, not only you, but also the first contact with the US army on the front line, and the casualties of each battalion and company of the 538th Regiment and the 539th Regiment have reached 80 percent. ”

He sighed: "I know all your difficulties, and so do the commanders. ”

"The logistical supply line is blocked by the enemy." Xia Yuan said.

"So what are you here for? If nothing happens, I'm going to treat you, don't look at you as a combat hero, but this unauthorized withdrawal from the battle is already an act of desertion, and it should be shot. ”

Master Zheng's voice was a little flat, but it had an irresistible majesty.

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Xia Yuan's forehead, and he actually felt a stern feeling from Master Zheng, which was like facing a stern homeroom teacher when he was in junior high school.

"Division commander, I seized 11 truckloads of supplies, 4 truckloads of ammunition, one cart was blown up, 3 truckloads of grain, rice, noodles, seafood, canned luncheon meat, etc., as well as 4 truckloads of medicines, and met comrades of the 539th Regiment Machine Gun Company on the way, many of them were hungry and couldn't walk, and they had to pull their baggage, so I took it upon myself and gave them two truckloads of grain, including three truckloads of ammunition, and only drove back four truckloads of medicines and a cart of canned food."

Xia Yuan took a deep breath and said calmly: "There are too many wounded in the 180th Division, and they need medicine, this batch of materials can solve the urgent needs of the 180th Division, I am worried that it will delay time, you also know that we want to send information to the battalion headquarters, and then wait for the battalion headquarters to send the information up section by section, and wait for it to be delivered to the division commander, it is estimated that it will be in the afternoon, or even dark." ”

Master Zheng smoked a cigarette and nodded: "So you took them to seize ten trucks, no, after eleven trucks of supplies, you cut them first?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Yuan nodded and continued: "There is a company reinforced by the 539th Regiment on the position, and there are only a dozen people left in the company, and they can't play a role in the case of lack of food and ammunition, and a dozen people can't stop the enemy's fierce attack, so it's better to come and deliver supplies." ”

"After all, the sooner the supplies are delivered to the division headquarters, maybe some soldiers' lives can be saved."

"Hehe, you're very smart, eleven carts of supplies, done beautifully, if it weren't for this eleven carts of supplies, I would have wanted to cure you."

Master Zheng's face was a little calm, but in fact, there were already huge waves in his heart.

Some time ago, the first battalion sent four truckloads of supplies, and these four truckloads of supplies were also driven by Xia Yuan from the foreign devil's station.

Now it's even more guy, and I just drove out eleven truckloads of supplies, and I feel unbelievable when I think about it.

He was a little curious about how Xia Yuan had captured it, but before he was curious, he had to take a look at the five truckloads of supplies that had been driven to the division headquarters.

Division Commander Zheng was shocked, and Chief of Staff Wang was also shocked, he was looking at the map, and he was also listening to the conversation between the two, and when Xia Yuan said that they had seized eleven truckloads of supplies, his face showed a look of shock.

When he was shocked, like Master Zheng, he was curious about how he could do it in the face of such casualties.

Chief of Staff Wang felt like a cat tickling in his heart, and stood up impatiently, with a hint of joy: "Comrade Xia Yuan, where are the supplies!" Ten truckloads of supplies, if Lao Wu knows about this, it is estimated that he will be happy! ”

Minister Wu looked at the logistics and military supplies, they were worried about the war, and Minister Wu was worried about the supplies.

These supplies are enough to meet the immediate need.

"A few days ago, the two truckloads of medicine sent by your first battalion saved the lives of many comrades, but as the war progressed, the number of wounded continued to increase, and the two truckloads of medicine were no longer enough.

Pulling out the cigarette in his hand, Master Zheng said, "Where is the car parked now?" Let's go and see first, and then talk about your disciplinary violations. ”

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan answered, led them outside, walked through the forest, and saw several warriors collecting the branches and leaves of nearby trees from a distance, cutting them off and covering them on the truck, using them for camouflage.

"Old horse!"

Xia Yuan glanced at it, it was Ma Da Dian, Chen Lie, Lao Yang and the instructor.

Ma Da, who pouted his ass and picked up the weeds that fell on the ground, raised his head suddenly, with a look of surprise: "Instructor, Lao Chen, look, Lao Xia is here, and he is still with the division commander by his side!" ”

When I was training in China, the division commander had come to the training ground more than once, and everyone knew the division commander, and when they saw the division commander today, they were very excited in their hearts, just like seeing their long-lost relatives, and they shouted enthusiastically.

"Hello Commander!"

"You have suffered."

Division Commander Zheng looked at the company with only thirteen soldiers left in front of him, and his heart was a little heavy.

You have suffered... At this moment, the grievances and pains that had accumulated in their hearts burst out irrepressibly, and the tears of many soldiers were like a flood that burst the embankment, out of control, and the tears of the business rolled down from their faces.

They wept like weepers.

The instructor was crying silently, Wang Xiaoliang was sobbing, Ma Da looked to the side a little stubbornly, Chen Lie's lips were trembling, Lao Yang Qiang couldn't help but let the tears flow, but he was infected by Wang Xiaoliang and rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Report to the division commander, we are not bitter!"

"We can still fight with foreign devils!"

"Defend the family and defend the country, cry bitterly, it's not bitter at all."

They said light-hearted words, but they carried the pain of the sacrifice of their comrades around them on their backs.

The arrival of the division commander was like a sun, warming their hearts.

"Division commander, it's really time for you to come, after these days of fighting, there are too many people sacrificed, although the soldiers didn't say anything, their hearts are very blocked, and your appearance has greatly encouraged them."

Xia Yuan sighed a little, the instructor always paid attention to the emotions of the soldiers, but it was not as good as the division commander to appear once.

In fact, when I saw the teacher, I was also indescribably excited in my heart, and that feeling was like a breeze blowing through my dark and depressed heart.

If the division commander could show up more, it would be much better than the hard work of Bala doing political work.

After all, as the commander of a division, he is the soul of the entire division, and his appearance can greatly boost the morale of the soldiers, just like the ancient imperial expedition, but it is naturally impossible for the division commander to go to the front line.

"You little one......"

How could Master Zheng not hear the meaning of Xia Yuan's words, he shook his head with a smile, and looked around for something.

Chief of Staff Wang, who was following behind, also had a faint smile on his face.

"Division commander, the supplies are here." Xia Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed.

In the distance, in the dense forest, there were large patches of covered branches and weeds, and the body of the truck was faintly visible.

Instructor Shao seemed to understand the reason for the division commander's presence here, and immediately beckoned the soldiers to remove the branches that were blocking the trucks, and five trucks appeared in front of them, and the trucks were full of goods, all kinds of supplies, especially medicines, and the Red Cross symbol was particularly conspicuous.

Division Commander Zheng and Chief of Staff Wang saw the materials on the car, and their expressions were a little unconcealable excited.

Chief of Staff Wang took three steps and two steps, climbed into the car and opened the box on it, revealing a full first-aid kit, medicines, needles and so on.

"Okay, good, it's the medicine of the foreign devil, after the car in front of the supplies were given to the hospital, the doctors in the hospital came over to ask, is there any medicine, the medicine of the foreign devil is good, the effect of the medicine is very fast, and there are many types, we are suffering from the pressure of logistics, there are few medicines, and there are only basic anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers."

Chief of Staff Wang held a first-aid kit for the US military and looked at it in his hand, and said with emotion: "My opponent is really advanced. ”

"This is in response to the words of the Lord, there is no gun, no cannon, the enemy will make it for us!"

Master Zheng came from the era of poverty and whiteness, at that time there was not even a decent gun, a company only a dozen guns, a few bullets, many of which were burning sticks, old sleeves, and medicines were even more scarce.

It is unlikely that artillery shells will be captured from the battlefield, let alone even rarer and more expensive medicines from the battlefield.

At the time of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the little devils regarded medicine as more important than food.
