Chapter 111: Crossing the River

During this period, there was no more communication, the big guy followed closely behind Xia Yuan, put the gun on his back, tied it tightly, Liu Tiezhu and Wang Xiaoliang were sorting out the machine guns, they carried more things, and seized a lot of bullets from the foreign devils, and even the light machine gun was replaced, replaced with the BAR automatic rifle of the US army, which was actually used as a light machine gun.

The bullets of this machine gun are relatively easy to replenish in the Korean battlefield. Their Czech-style ammunition had long since run out, and the logistics could not deliver the ammunition, so they had long since become burning sticks and had to be discarded.

Liu Tiezhu is precious, and there is no way if he doesn't lose it.

The BAR automatic rifle is not bad, the accuracy is very high, the range and rate of fire are not bad, but Liu Tiezhu, who is used to using Czech light machine guns, often complains to Xia Yuan that this gun is not as refreshing as a machine gun, and it is not as comfortable as a heavy machine gun, all in all, it is a little bit worse.

No, Liu Tiezhu was still complaining when he acted, he put the gun on his shoulder, and said: "Company commander, when will you get a real heavy machine gun, the ammunition of this thing is too small." ”

Xia Yuan tightened the strap on his body and said, "Okay, don't complain, when you get to the other side of the river, I'll get you a heavy machine gun for foreign devils to play with." ”

"Really?"

Liu Tiezhu had an incredulous look on his face.

Ma Da said on the side: "You kid are content, when did the company commander never speak?" ”

"Hey, hey, that's a good feeling, it's better to get more heavy machine guns."

Liu Tiezhu smiled.

When he got into the water, Xia Yuan looked at Ma Da and Liu Tiezhu again, and said, "What happened to the wounds of the two of you?" ”

The two of them had been injured in the arm before, although they were on the medicine, but it had only been a few days, and it would definitely not get better, during this period of fighting, the two were silent, Xia Yuan almost forgot that the two had been injured, and it was just when the two of them were talking that he remembered.

"Company commander, don't get in the way, don't worry."

Liu Tiezhu is like a person who has nothing to do.

Wang Xiaoliang's eyes were a little more worried, although he had been drugged in the U.S. military station before, but during this period of sports and battles, Liu Tiezhu's wound had already cracked, the medicine did not work, the wound was inflamed, and he gritted his teeth without saying a word.

Ma Da's situation is similar to Liu Tiezhu's situation, to this extent, he has not taken medicine in the past few days, the wound may have been infected, and he has been fighting and fighting in the past few days, Xia Yuan did not pay special attention to the injuries of the two, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since the two of them were dressed.

"When you cross the river and get to the other side, not only do you have to eat and drink well, but then I will find a doctor for you and re-apply medicine to your arms."

Xia Yuan jumped into the river, stretched out his hand to grab the wire and held it high, and said: "The wire is here, be careful when you come down, the water is a little deep, to the waist, it is estimated that the water in the middle can reach the neck." ”

Instructor Shao jumped into the water for the second time, the turbulent water made his body unstable, and he was about to fall into the water, Xia Yuan, who was quick-eyed, grabbed him and pulled him up, and Instructor Shao, who was fluttering, grabbed the slender wire, and the soles of his feet were uneven stones.

"It's full of rocks down there, it's really hard to walk, you guys go down and be careful, don't fall." Instructor Shao stretched out his hand to wipe the water on his face, and said, "Old horse, you come down one by one, pay attention." ”

"Yes!"

The big guy held hands and cautiously jumped into the water, and with the help of the person in front of him, he grabbed the wire and stabilized his body.

After everyone jumped into the water, Xia Yuan said again: "When you get to the other side, don't make a sound, the enemy has dug a lot of fortifications and bunkers along the ferry, and their vigilance is not yet known." ”

Instructor Shao stood behind Xia Yuan and asked, "How about the enemy's strength on the other side?" Is it a puppet army or an American army. ”

"Puppet Army." Xia Yuandao.

"What are the puppet soldiers afraid of, the puppet army is not all greedy for life and afraid of death, so it is convenient for us to act." The old horse grinned.

The big guy kept nodding, the puppet army is famous for its greed for life and fear of death, the more greedy for life and fear of death, the less strong the combat effectiveness when fighting.

Xia Yuan knows the psychology of everyone, he fought devils during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and he also saw the puppet army, the puppet army is indeed not good, but this puppet army is different from the domestic puppet army.

"The more greedy they are for life and fear of death, the more they will pay attention to the vigilance at night, and the more careful we must be. When it comes to the battlefield, their combat effectiveness is indeed not very much, but in defense, they still have no problems. ”

Since the outbreak of the Korean War, most of the activities of the volunteers have been carried out at night, and the enemy who fights is screaming and screaming, and even some of the enemies are frightened as soon as they arrive at night.

But their combat effectiveness is not strong, even if they find the volunteers, as soon as the charging whistle sounds, they instantly lose their resistance. On the first night of the second phase of the Fifth Campaign, almost all five divisions of the ROK Army broke and fled, scattered into a group, and were beaten by the Third Corps and the Ninth Corps, and advanced the front nearly 100 kilometers on the first night alone.

Although their combat effectiveness is not strong, there is no problem with the night sentry, and they do a better job than the US army.

Considering that there were only a dozen people on their side, Xia Yuanyue was more wary of the Han army on the opposite side.

The turbulent river kept rolling, taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, no one found them, Xia Yuan took a company of the remaining dozen soldiers to grasp a slender wire, and carefully touched the other bank in the rolling river.

The river is rolling, and it is very turbulent, they are like a lonely boat, being slapped left and right by the tumbling river, the water splashes their faces, the further they go, the deeper the water, has reached the chest, and the soles of the feet are uneven stones, the river is turbulent, and cold and biting, it was hot and hot before, and there was a lot of sweat on the way, and now the cold teeth chattered.

Even without enemy harassment, it was very difficult for the big guy to go.

When he was about to reach the middle position, the river was deeper, the last step may still be in the position of the stomach, the next step was stepped on the air, and the water surface was submerged to his neck at once, Xia Yuan grabbed the wire with one hand, and the rifle with the other hand, and held the rifle high above his head, and then the next step, the water surface directly submerged the top of his head, leaving only a hand holding a rifle still on the water.

No bubbles can be seen in the tumbling river.

"Xia Yuan!"

"Company commander!"

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly stopped.

The next moment, with a bang, Xia Yuan came out again, soaking wet, his hat didn't know where it was washed by the water, his wet hair was sticking to his forehead, uneven, and the gun in his hand was still being held high.

Spit out a mouthful of water, Xia Yuan scolded and scolded: "Grandma's, choked a few times, you should be careful with your feet, don't panic if you fall, you must hold on to the wire, you really can't grab it with two hands, if you lose the gun, if you lose the gun, you will lose it, you must not lose your life, one life can be worth dozens of lives of foreign devils, and you have to protect your family and defend the country if you live!" Didn't you hear it! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing that everyone responded, Xia Yuan was a little relieved, his heart was beating suddenly, his heart was palpitating, there was really an undercurrent surging under the river, when he just stepped on the air and fell, he was almost swept away by the water, in the tumbling river, no matter how great the strength was, it had no effect, so he could only resign himself to fate, fortunately, the bottom of the river was not very deep, and there was no danger and came up from the water.

If the gun is lost at the critical moment, it will be lost, life is the most important thing, Xia Yuan must give a preventive shot, otherwise the person will fall and hold on to the gun in his hand.

This time, everyone walked more carefully, their teeth were ringing non-stop, one hand had to lift the gun, and the other hand had to walk carefully, and their bodies were constantly shaking from the water.

"Everyone, work hard."

Instructor Shao suppressed his voice, and the voice that had just come out was swallowed up by the rolling river.

In the middle of the river, the water surface had submerged to the neck, and everyone had to raise their heads high, and the constantly rolling river washed everyone's faces, and they choked on a mouthful of water several times.

Bang! Zhao Songming, a soldier of the cooking squad who followed behind Lao Yang, suddenly felt a heavy object under the water hit his thighs fiercely, coupled with the rolling river, his center of gravity fell unsteadily into the water, and in a panic, the wire was actually separated from the palm of his hand, and there was a rumbling sound in his ears, and it was pitch black in front of him, and the turbid water made his eyes sting.

Shouting was faintly heard.

"Zhao Songming! Zhao Songming! ”

"Zhao Songming!"

He vaguely heard the shouts of the squad leader Lu Guangnan, Zhao Songming opened his mouth, a large amount of water poured into his mouth, and choked several times in succession.

The rolling river swallowed Zhao Songming, and everyone groped under the river, except for branches and stones, there was no figure of Zhao Songming.

Lu Guangnan, who was following behind Zhao Songming, blamed himself incomparably, and his tears mixed with Jiang Shui: "I should be optimistic about him, I should be optimistic about him, he is only nineteen years old, nineteen years old." ”

Instructor Shao said: "Lao Lu, it's not your fault, it's not your fault, maybe he's still alive, but he was washed away by the water, if he is still alive, he will definitely find our troops." ”

Lao Yang also persuaded: "This kid is a blessed person, and he won't die so easily." ”

Everyone is also persuading, looking at the vast river, there is no end in sight, and there is no bottom in their hearts.

Another person was reduced, Xia Yuan's heart was a little heavier, when Company Commander Lei sacrificed, he hoped that he could take the company with him, and it would get better and better, but he not only failed to do it, but pushed the company to the fire pit.

But if he didn't take people to the City God Hall, it was inevitable that the City God Hall would fail.

Xia Yuan thought to himself and said, "Keep going!" ”

Lu Guangnan cleaned up his mood, looked at the vast river, kept turning over, everyone watched, no one could see through what he was thinking, although everyone was sad in their hearts, they never showed it.

Lu Guangnan took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and just grabbed the wire hard, very hard.

"There are too many pits in the water, you follow me, don't fall behind."

Xia Yuan was completely exploring the way in the water, stepping on the air at any time, and there were a lot of debris under the water, which rushed over with the turbulent water and kept hitting his legs.

Instructor Shao said, "Be careful. ”

"As long as you cross the middle of the river, it's not so dangerous to get closer to the shore."

Although they are facing many dangers now, fortunately the greatest danger has not come, Zhao Songming's warriors were swallowed by the river in the middle of the most turbulent position, and the others passed without danger.

The puppet army on the other side did not find them, and the geographical location of the place where the wire was was relatively bad and it was not convenient to be stationed, so the South Korean army did not find them.

He knew in his heart that the 180th Division's crossing of the river would be the most cruel tomorrow night. More than a dozen of them were holding on to a single wire, while the 180th Division's tens of thousands of people were isolated on the south bank of the Han River, relying on only three slender wires.

Xia Yuan couldn't help much, he could only fight with his life, and the 24th Bomei Division would not be able to capture the City God Hall tomorrow.

Bang la, bla blah.

The Han soldiers on the bank of the river listened to the river beating on the shore, the air was boring, the wind by the river was cold, the two Han soldiers sat on the ground, smoking cigarettes and looking at the river in the distance, the Han soldiers behind them were all stripped naked, lying in the sleeping bag and sleeping comfortably,

"The Chinese will not cross the river tonight, and the Americans who fought in front of them will fight fiercely, and it is best to fight both sides, maybe we can still grab the credit."

"To take credit from the Americans, our commander will not dare."

"He's so cowardly, he's like a grandson in front of the Americans, and our squad leader says he's a dog for the Americans."

"Okay, the Americans are here to help us."

"Help us, you look up to them too much, they will only think about themselves, when they treat us as human beings, our women are bullied by them to reason with them, and they beat their heads and bleed."

On the bank of the rolling river, twelve figures have approached, silently crouching on the anticline, Xia Yuan brushed aside the weeds in front of him, looked at the two stick soldiers sitting on the grass, and said something, from time to time one or two popped out a pronunciation that looked like Chinese characters.

After a little observation and making sure that there were only these two stick soldiers here, Xia Yuan waved his hand and commanded Lao Yang to take two people to touch the buttocks of the stick soldiers and kill them.

Lao Yang Yihui called Lu Guangnan and Si Jize, a soldier of the machine gun company, to turn over the anti-slope, touch the back of the two stick soldiers, pull out the bayonet at his waist, hold it with his hand, and carefully step on the ground to approach.

Xia Yuan reached out and drew his bayonet from behind his back, and once the two stick soldiers spotted them, they immediately rushed forward, no matter what, and killed one of them first.

At the same time, he was also vigilant around, but the stick soldiers dug the bunker fortifications to the edge of the river, about fifty meters away from them, he saw a machine gun bunker hidden in the darkness, and faintly through the machine gun hole, he saw the swaying figure in the machine gun bunker.

Xia Yuan would not doubt at all that as long as the slightest movement came from this side and alarmed the stick soldiers, it was estimated that the machine gun bunker would fire at this side.

He had to be careful all the time.

Lao Yang is an experienced veteran, and practice makes perfect, so it's best to hand it over to him. Xia Yuan, on the other hand, was vigilant and could knock out the enemy's machine gun bunker at any time.

He's just left it to the back burner.
