Chapter 19: The Beginning
On the offensive.
The attack of the second platoon of the third company was blocked, and the deputy squad leader of the third squad shouted: "Comrades, the time has come to make meritorious contributions to the Chinese and Korean people." ”
Li Delin, the deputy squad leader, led a small group and advanced under artillery fire, shells and bullets roaring in front and behind them. The deputy squad leader led the combat group, crossed a small river, and finally approached the enemy position.
Seeing this, Company Commander Sun yelled: "Cover! ”
The enemy suffered a blow, and a combat group of the Volunteer Army touched it, and when it saw that the situation was not right, it turned around and fled.
Seeing this, Li Delin, the deputy squad leader, took the opportunity to chase after him, and actually led the soldiers to capture five mountains in a row, chasing the enemy to the ground.
The battalions cooperated with each other, and the 335th Regiment occupied all the enemy's positions in only one hour, captured a car, a large number of guns and ammunition, as well as food and a small amount of medicine, and captured more than 20 enemies.
After the 335th Regiment ended the battle, it was almost dawn.
The three platoons of the three companies were ordered to hold the forward position, repelled the enemy's five charges one after another, the three platoons got more casualties, and finally there were only two people left in the forward position, the enemy attacked in several ways, the machine gunner Chen Shoulu pressed the bullets himself, shot by himself, where the enemy came up, he fought wherever he fought, and fought fiercely for a day, the front of the position was full of corpses, and the position of the three companies was still firmly in the hands of the volunteers, and they persevered.
It opened up a path for the whole army to advance victoriously.
When the roundabout troops arrived at the designated position, the fleeing enemy was disorganized, and the stragglers fired guns everywhere, forming a formation.
The 338th Regiment took advantage of the situation and marched forward.
During the break, a comrade sat down to rest on a pile of straw, and found that the bottom of his buttocks was soft and gentle, and he was startled, and stood up and roared, and out of the pile of straw came a puppet army, he raised his hands, and his face was hung with broken grass, and he looked ridiculous.
The 2nd Company of the 338th Regiment captured more than 20 prisoners in the battle of the Qingchuan River, and all of them were gathered under a railway bridge.
He shouted, "Don't be afraid, we don't kill our captives." ”
At this time, a small prisoner stood up and said in fluent Chinese: "I know that the policy of the Red Party is to shoot and not kill." ”
Xing Ze was a little surprised and asked, "I can speak Chinese, I speak so fluently, I listen to the accent like from the north and east." ”
The little captive admittedly said, "I grew up in Beidongharbin. ”
Xing Ze let out an 'oh', he thought, maybe among these captives, there are also Japanese devils.
Well, the United Nations army, it must be a combination of several countries, and it is normal for people from other countries to have it.
After the victory in Xindongli, the 335th Regiment briefly rested in Xindong, waiting for a new combat order from the military headquarters.
Triple Link.
The previous fighters made the third company sacrifice many comrades,
There were only two soldiers left in the third platoon of the third company, sitting on the ground with a disgraced face, the joy of the previous battle passed, and there was a lingering haze over the head of the third company.
Seeing that the mood of the soldiers was not high, Instructor Hu found Company Commander Sun, "It can be seen that after this first battle, there is suddenly no task, and when they are idle, the sacrificed soldiers will always bring some emotional and emotional impact to the soldiers." ”
Company Commander Sun sighed: "The previous peaceful life twisted the soldiers into a hemp rope, and the sudden parting made it uncomfortable for anyone to feel good. ”
After a pause, he looked at Instructor Hu and asked, "Instructor, what do you think?" ”
"Let the emotions of the fighters brew first, and when the task is down, let the grief of the soldiers turn into the motivation to resolutely fight the enemy." Instructor Hu said: "Avenge the sacrificed soldiers and make meritorious contributions to the country." ”
"Instructor, then listen to you."
Instructor Hu They are not worried that the soldiers will have psychological problems because of this battle, the soldiers in the company are made of steel, they have participated in many wars, and parting and sacrifice are common.
They have always firmly believed that their comrades cannot be defeated.
When they came to Korea, the cooking squad was much busier than before, and when they set out from the country, they marched on the road in a hurry, and a lot of food was thrown at the military station, but fortunately, a new hole was laid, and the enemy fled in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of weapons and equipment.
As for weapons and equipment, Da Lao Liu was not interested, he was thinking more about how to make the soldiers eat good and eat hot meals in such a difficult war.
"Stinky boy, don't just pick up ammo, look for food supplies for the enemy."
When cleaning the battlefield, the elder Liu saw that Xia Yuan, Zhou Mao, and Xiao Heping were carrying American-style semi-automatic rifles behind them, with enemy bullet bags hanging on their bodies.
When there is no gun, it is still the most important thing to eat.
Elder Liu followed the troops to fight in the south and the north, and he had some foresight, and the planes of the American devils were very rampant, invading China's airspace many times, blowing up bridges and railways, and if the US army wanted to block the supply routes of the volunteers, it would not be a difficult thing.
At present, the Volunteer Army has just entered North Korea, which has caught the US army by surprise.
If the U.S. military reacts and sends planes to block the supply lines of the volunteers, it will be quite difficult for them to supply food.
Elder Liu's gaze is quite far-sighted.
Slapping a few stinky boys, telling them to hurry up and find food, and fill all the places on their bodies that can be stuffed with food.
Elder Liu said verbosely: "How many times have I told you, the task of our cooking class, that is, to cook for the troops, what is the most important, that must be the most important food, besides, we trek through mountains and rivers, march overnight, the physical consumption of the soldiers is very high, eat more nutritious." ”
Elder Liu didn't worry much about the soldiers' bodies.
"Bring more food, and the warriors won't go hungry. These guns and ammunition, the soldiers will bring their own, they can't take it away, they can bring it when the logistics come, and you don't need to worry about it. ”
The tone of the elder Liu was a little hateful.
Xia Yuan said with a smile: "Squad leader, everyone is poor, you see how good the foreigner's gun is, it can hold eight bullets, and you don't need to pull the bolt, as soon as the insurance is opened, just pull the trigger, if we even have all the equipment and fight the American devils, it won't be caught?" ”
"Stinky boy, don't worry about this." Elder Liu looked at Xia Yuan carrying two guns, and couldn't help frowning: "Don't lose your gun, I've told you many times, the discipline of the army, the gun is your life, even if there are guns everywhere here, you can't change your weapon at any time, if you want to change your weapon, you need to report to the instructor and the company commander." ”
At present, the signs of war have just begun, and the discipline of the troops is still quite strict.
Xia Yuan responded and carried his gun.
Later, the volunteers and the U.S. army began to exchange fire, and if the gun was not a gun, there would be no problem in changing it casually.
Xia Yuan didn't refute, and quietly listened to the nagging of the elder Liu.
"Go find the cans."
At the end, the eldest elder Liu kicked Xia Yuan, and scolded in his mouth: "Stinky boy, I can't tell the severity." Zhou Mao, you are also a veteran soldier, why can't you figure out the weight, how difficult the previous conditions were, it was not easy for the soldiers to eat hot meals, let alone eat meat, this American devil has money, their canned food has sugar, and meat, so get more and put it on your body. ”
It can be said that when the army was poor and white, the eldest Liu followed the troops, went south to north, and fought in the south and north.
He was the leader of the cooking squad, and sometimes, the troops didn't have anything to eat, not even salt, so they could only boil wild vegetables in clean water and eat them.
Boiled wild vegetables in clear water, how unpalatable, eat into the mouth, a dry taste.
Now that the People's Republic of China has been founded, life is better, and many soldiers in the cooking class have forgotten those hard days.
Zhou Mao said with a smile: "Squad leader, we have logistics, and we can't go hungry to eat." ”
"Stinky boy, I see you've forgotten the old days." The elder Liu was angry and didn't come anywhere, and he stepped forward to teach Zhou Mao a lesson, but unfortunately, Instructor Hu came over and wanted to find Zhao Ruilong Zhao as a translator.
The eldest elder Liu looked around, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he patted his head: "Hey, I patronized and looked for food, and I forgot Comrade Zhao, Zhou Mao, go and find it." ”
"What's the matter, Zhao Translator lost it?"
When Company Commander Sun heard this, his head grew big.
The surrounding mountains were blurry and pitch black, and the sky shimmered with a faint light, unable to dispel the darkness, and scattered snowflakes fell on the sky.
The mountains and fields are full of rushing warriors, and there are shaking figures everywhere, and it is really not easy to find Zhao Yi.
Company Commander Sun asked the second platoon to look for it, and the elder Liu was not idle, so he asked Xia Yuan and them to continue to search for supplies, and he took a few soldiers from the cooking squad to run around to look for them.
Finally, Zhao Yiyi was found in the ravine, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Translator Zhao said: "I can't find you, so I didn't walk around, stay where I am, I know that you will come to me." ”
Elder Liu looked anxious: "Fortunately, I found you, otherwise something would have gone wrong." ”
The company commander asked him to look at Zhao Translator, if he lost Zhao Translator, it would be light to give him a few big ones. What is not dangerous is that Zhao Translator has been recovered.
Company Commander Sun explained: "Elder Liu, you are optimistic about Zhao Translation." ”
"Yes!"
Elder Liu didn't dare to be sloppy, and he couldn't be sloppy.
In the future, if the company is on a mission, it will be inseparable from Zhao Yi.
They didn't collect many cans, there were a lot of enemies in the new cave, and there were a lot of supplies left, but it was not only their regiment that attacked, but also the comrades of the 334th regiment, and these materials had to be handed over to logistics in addition to the replenishment of companies at all levels on the spot.
Logistics will transport supplies to the military station and hoard them in case of contingencies.
Therefore, Da Lao Liu and the others only carried a few days' rations, plus some canned food, which were carried by the soldiers of the cooking class.
They didn't care about being sad, and buried the sacrificed soldiers on the spot on the high ground they once held, and Company Commander Sun stood in front of the grave with the number one hundred and ten people, and the red wine seized from the American devils was spilled on the ground, and the soldiers carried weapons and equipment and disappeared into the twilight.
On the 30th, the main force of the Western Front of the Volunteer Army advanced to the front line of Gujunyingdong, Tadong, north of Taecheon, north of Unsan, Onjeong, and Heesan, and completed the campaign, and in the process, annihilated most of the 6th Division and 2 battalions of the 8th Division of the South Korean Army, and besieged the 1st Division.
The South Korean army was attacked, but MacArthur did not pay attention to it, and he still insisted on completing the plan to occupy Korea by Thanksgiving.
On the 31st, the 24th Division of the US Army advanced to Taecheon and Gucheng, and the 27th Brigade of the British Army advanced to Dingju and Xuanchuan, and advanced to Fenju and Sinuiju.
MacArthur ordered the U.S. 1st Division (the division has the longest history in the U.S. Army and enjoys the title of "Ace Army") to send reinforcements to Yunshan.
The main force of the 1st Division of the South Korean Army was transferred to the Yongbyon area, the 8th Division was withdrawn to the stadium area, and the 7th Division was transferred to the stadium and the Tokugawa area.
The U.S. 2nd Division was transferred north to the Anju area as a reserve for the Eighth Army.
Adopting the tactics of a roundabout combination of frontal assault on the enemy's flank and behind, Shiji concentrated his forces to annihilate the enemy in the Unsan, Taecheon, and stadium areas, and demanded that all units launch an attack on the evening of 1 November.
1 November at 17 p.m.
The sky darkened, and there was a faint glimmer at the top of the ridge in the distant sky, which was the sun setting in the west.
Twilight covers the land, and snowflakes drift away.
The soldiers of the 38th Army, hidden between the ridges and ravines, spitting white mist from their mouths and holding steel guns in their hands that were red and swollen from the cold.
Company Commander Sun glanced at his watch from time to time, and his face was solemn.
Instructor Hu calmed the emotions of the soldiers, glanced at Zhao Translator again, and then found Company Commander Sun and asked in a low voice, "What time is it?" ”
"Sixteen:49."
"Eleven minutes to go, comrades, ready to fight."
Hearing the voice of Instructor Hu, the fighters opened the safety of their weapons and unscrewed the caps of the grenades to facilitate the pulling of the line when throwing.
Elder Liu lay on his stomach in the snow, turned his head to look at Xia Yuan and Xiao Heping, and asked them, "Are you nervous?" ”
Xia Yuan's face was calm, and he shook his head to show that he was not nervous.
After going through so much, what kind of scene has not been seen.
It was Xiao Heping, his expression was tense, and his body was gently swinging, I don't know if it was because he was frozen, or because he was nervous and scared.
Thinking about it, it is understandable that Xiao Heping has participated in a battle even if he is full, and he still pinched the tail of the battle.
After that, the 38th Army returned triumphantly and returned to the production area to carry out the task of reclaiming wasteland, and Xiao Heping never participated in the battle.
The battle at the root of the tail was not a battle, the reactionaries were all fleeing, and they were pursued all the way to the south, and there were very few people who resisted.
And the battle in front of them was very brutal, and the battle in the new cave, the warriors had a preliminary understanding of their enemies.
The weapons and equipment are luxurious, and the shells don't cost money, but they are afraid of death.
Even so, it is still not to be underestimated, and the enemy's weapons and equipment are almost crushing.
"If you're afraid, take a deep breath, take a few more deep breaths, and you'll not be afraid." Elder Liu He smiled: "I used to let you train hard, but you said that the cooks don't have to go to the battlefield, but if you see it, the three platoons are gone, let's not go up, who will go up." ”
"Ready!" The trumpeter's voice drifted from afar.
The prostrate figure shook slightly, and the instruments collided with a slight crashing sound.
"Follow me when you're going to charge! Hear no! "Elder Liu turned his head," Xia Yuan, looking at Zhao Translation. ”
