A few pieces of meat, you let me, I let you, and you refuse to eat it.

In the end, it was given to the injured elder Liu to eat.

Xia Yuan still used the crooked reasoning, "Squad leader, you have to eat this meat, now you are a wounded, we all have to take care of you, what is this, this is the spirit of not abandoning and not giving up." But if the wounded are not given preferential treatment, the comrades will feel cold when they are injured in the future, and who will dare to charge in the future? ”

"Crooked! The fighters don't do that. ”

Elder Liu is angry.

But what Xia Yuan said has some truth, and the elder Liu pondered carefully, it is indeed the case.

He ate the meat in the bowl without saying a word.

After eating, everyone continued on their way.

The wind and snow in the mountains and forests are not as strong as the wind and snow on the ridges, and the wind blows through the mountains and forests, and is resisted by the trees.

Xia Yuan carried the elder Liu on his back, and Zhao Yi was taken care of by Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao, and the two took turns acting as scouts.

"Squad leader, highway!"

I don't know how long it took to walk, everyone was already quite tired, even Xia Yuan felt a sore muscle all over his body, and Xiao Heping's voice suddenly came from the front.

Everyone was shocked and strode forward.

Rushing out of the woods and over a meadow, you will be greeted by a winding path.

The trail is covered in snow, but there are plenty of mottled marks on the ground.

It's just that these traces are covered with a thin layer of snow.

"It's our people, or it's the enemy."

Da Lao Liu stared at the traces on the ground, a little unsure.

"It should be the enemy, there are a lot of rut marks here." Xia Yuan stepped forward and observed carefully, the rut marks were messy, indicating that there were a lot of cars.

Those who dare to swagger and drive forward on the highway are none other than the US military and the puppet army.

But the road, not a mountain road to be exact, was wrapped in steep mountains, and the surrounding area was relatively remote, and it looked like the road that their people walked.

The U.S. military and the puppet army took more of a wide road.

Xia Yuan's inference was very cautious, and he would rather guess wrong than be reckless.

"The surrounding mountains are steep, and this road is easier to walk, but let's be careful." Da Lao Liu looked around, one side of the mountain forest, one side is a steep mountain, the high mountain is covered with snow, and the white expanse.

I don't know if the big army has walked through here.

At this moment, Da Lao Liu really realized that they were completely lost.

"Let's go, then."

Xia Yuan took a breath.

"Do you want to take a break?" Elder Liu asked, "You have been carrying me for so long." ”

"No, you don't." Xia Yuan shook his head, his four-dimensional attributes were different from ordinary people, and his recovery ability was even more leveraged.

If you are someone else, you can't go far with Lao Liu, so you can't do it.

"Peace, find me a stick." The eldest elder Liu Buyi grabbed the wooden stick that Xiao Heping found, pestled it on the ground, and said: "Xia boy, put me down, this road is smooth, it is a lot easier to walk, you have to maintain your physical strength, if you encounter an emergency, you still need to come." ”

After such a long period of observation, these three seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers should be Xia Yuan's strongest combat ability and the most mature handling methods.

Xiao Heping almost caught fire.

Zhou Mao was not bad, but his palms were frostbitten, and even holding a gun became a serious problem.

As for Zhao Yiyi, he has never encountered an emergency, although he is full of enthusiasm, but when he encounters an emergency, he can't solve the problem with enthusiasm.

"Okay."

Xia Yuan stared at the traces on the road and nodded seriously, "I'll go do reconnaissance, and you will follow behind." ”

"Well, stay safe." Elder Liu was a little worried.

Looking at Xia Yuan's back, Zhou Mao sighed and said, "Xia Yuan is much stronger than us. ”

Xiao Heping hugged his arms in a daze.

Xia Yuan stepped on the thick snow, ran wildly, and looked around vigilantly.

The mountain road was rugged, some sections were steep and difficult to walk, Xia Yuan left a mark on the ground and continued to walk.

It was terrifyingly dark, and there was not the slightest glimmer of light when I looked up, and black clouds enveloped the Korean Peninsula, and the blizzard fluttered down like goose feathers.

Turn on night vision, the obstructed vision is better, goose feathers and heavy snow in the line of sight, as if emitting a faint light, the whole world is like a dream.

Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to remove the ice ballast on his eyelashes, and walked forward with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

After walking for a while, he waited in place, and when he saw the four people behind him continuing to follow, he walked forward with confidence.

As we walked forward, the traces became fainter and fainter.

The snow was so heavy that it was almost drowning in the traces.

"I don't know, how far to go."

On the Korean battlefield, disorientation is the most terrible.

The mountains are high and densely forested, covered with ice and snow, and the vast expanse of white, the large army enters the mountains, and even if they leave traces, they will be crushed by the goose feathers and snow after a while.

"Let's go."

Xia Yuan has no destination, and the direction is straight ahead.

By 8 o'clock on 2 November, the 112th Division had successfully occupied the Yuanli area, threatening the flank of the retreating enemy, and the enemy was afraid that the 112th Division would cut off the retreat route and retreat on all fronts under the cover of a large number of air force, artillery, and tanks.

The 2nd Division of the US Army and the 7th Division of Syngman Rhee's Army were used to cover the area of Yuanchuan and Gunyu-ri, delaying the offensive of the 38th Army.

The military headquarters of the 38th Army immediately telegraphed an order that the 112th Division should quickly attack and advance towards Junyu-ri, Anzhou, and Xin'anzhou, intending to cut off the enemy's connection through Xin'anzhou to the rear of Suchuan.

The 113th Division decided to let the 338th Regiment withdraw as soon as possible at this moment, the enemy has already formed a defensive needle and line on the front line, and the formation of the Volunteer Army also has to be changed, interspersed along the direction of the 338th Regiment, it is no longer possible, their position is also exposed, and the 338th Regiment is urgently needed to retreat.

However, telecommunications could not be contacted, so the divisional communications section had no choice but to send cavalry communications officers to deliver the message.

At this time, the 338th Regiment had just completed its roundabout task, and it was not knowing what to do next, so it urgently needed to ask the division for instructions.

The message was still sent in the previous way, but the receiver's battery was still not solved and could not be reported.

Comrade Zhang Fu managed to barely receive the report, but it was particularly difficult, and the division called back more than 120 words, and copied a lot of them intermittently, before he understood the general idea of the division headquarters: "The enemy has increased in large numbers, and the troops will withdraw immediately!" ”

After Comrade Zhang Fu completed his task, he also planned to return to the division headquarters, and along the way he met a cavalry communicator and returned to the division headquarters together.

Due to the many problems and sufferings encountered along the way, Comrade Zhang Fu felt that he had not perfectly completed the tasks assigned by his superiors, and he was quite discouraged and sad.

Although the 338th Regiment completed the roundabout task, it still failed to intercept many enemies, but only intercepted the enemy's tail root, if he completed the task faster, maybe the 338th Regiment could intercept more enemies.

The chief of the communications section listened to Zhang Fu's report, but said happily: "You have worked hard! ”

This time it was interspersed with detours, and although there were many victories, it failed to successfully complete the task for many reasons.

The most important thing is that the volunteers are not familiar with the enemy, and the troops are unfamiliar with the terrain of Korea and are not suitable for fighting in Korea. If you let the enemy go, let them advance.

Or with a small force to pinn down, the large force will go straight to the designated place, the enemy north of the stadium will not be able to escape, and the battle will make the whole army lose a large number of opportunities to destroy the enemy.

Therefore, it is not entirely to blame Comrade Zhang Fu, it is not easy for him to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors in such a difficult environment, and the division headquarters gave Comrade Zhang Fu a commendation.

At the same time, this first battle also allowed the volunteer soldiers to intuitively see the enemy's combat effectiveness, and in the comparison with it, they also realized their own shortcomings.

The leaders of the volunteer army are all experienced in a hundred battles, and if they sum up their experience in the war, they are bound to fight the next battle.

Wind and snow shrouded the mountains.

In a narrow ravine.

The five figures moved slowly.

If you lose your way, you will be completely lost in the complex topography of North Korea.

Now.

Xia Yuan: They didn't know their location at all.

It doesn't matter if it's day or night.

In the narrow ravine, they rested briefly.

Xia Yuan checked the elder Liu's injury, and his expression flashed with a hint of worry, but he said to the elder Liu: "The recovery from the injury is not bad, eat more meat in the future, and the recovery will be faster." ”

"Yes, I said a long time ago, our body is good, let you not take special care of me, you just don't listen." Elder Liu said with a smile, and wanted to take out the dry tobacco from his arms and smoke it.

"Squad leader, don't smoke, your body is not well yet, you will smoke when you are ready." Xiao Heping stopped the elder Liu.

"Okay, okay, don't smoke, don't smoke, stinky boy, the tube is quite wide." Elder Liu scolded with a smile.

Xia Yuan stood up and walked to Zhou Mao, who was in charge of the investigation, and Zhou Mao asked, "What is the squad leader's injury?" ”

"I didn't tell the squad leader the truth just now, without the assistance of medicine, how can the injury heal so quickly, if he doesn't find medicine, his leg will be gone." Xia Yuan told Zhou Mao the truth: "Not only that, after the necrosis of the whole leg, if it is not cut, it will affect the whole body and endanger life. ”

Zhou Mao's face changed, and he panicked: "Then there is no way?" ”

"There's a way, but I guess it's enough." Xia Yuan sighed and said, "We're lost now, and we don't know where we ran to, if we can find the big army, maybe we can save a little, of course, if we can find the enemy, it's okay." ”

"Found the enemy?" Zhou Mao was a little puzzled.

"There is no shortage of medicine on the enemy's side, if you can find the enemy, you can find some medicine from the enemy, and with medicine, you can treat Zhou Mao's injuries."

Xia Yuan sighed, "It's just that we are lost now, and after walking for so long, we don't see the slightest movement around, but the plane of the American devil flies diligently." ”

"yes."

Zhou Mao glanced at the surrounding mountains worriedly.

High scary.

and covered with snow.

They had walked for so long, they hadn't rested much, they were cold, and their feet were soaked.

Urgent need for replenishment and rest.

Zhou Mao didn't know how long he could hold out.

Staying here, you can really feel that life is slowly passing by.

Xia Yuan didn't have any way.

Along the way, he was leading the way, and in addition to searching for his own people, he was also looking for enemies.

However, the surrounding mountains are high and densely forested, and there is almost no trace of the enemy.

If you can find a road, you have a better chance of finding an enemy.

"Xia Yuan, what do you want?" Zhou Mao couldn't help but ask when he saw Xia Yuan's face with silence and indifference.

"Think about it in the future, if we can't find a large army, we will fight guerrillas in the mountains and sneak attack the transportation routes of American devils."

Xia Yuan decided to do his old job.

When it comes to Yankee supplies, no one is better at it than Xia Yuan.

No one is more familiar with the U.S. military than he is.

"The squad leader's injuries can't be delayed, you keep an eye on it during the day, I'll take a look around."

Xia Yuan grabbed a handful of snow, stuffed it into his mouth, and then said to Zhou Mao.

"I'll go with you." Zhou Mao said.

"No, you have to stay. Both Zhao Yi and the squad leader need someone to take care of them. Xia Yuan shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't go too far, just go to the mountain in front of me to have a look." ”

"Okay then." Zhou Mao couldn't persuade him to move, and nodded, "You must be careful yourself, I won't tell the squad leader." ”

"Hmm."

Xia Yuan glanced back.

In the wind and snow, the bedding on the squad leader, Zhao Yiyi, and Xiao Heping fell a layer of snow, and the three of them were sleeping soundly.

You need to get some rest today.

Nodding to Zhou Mao, Xia Yuan stepped on the snow and climbed towards the ridge in the distance.

His physical strength was very good, he climbed halfway up the mountain in one breath, did not stop to rest, exhaled a breath of hot air, turned into an icy cold air in the mask, looked up at the ridge through the ice crystals on his eyelashes.

On the top of the mountain, the sun's rays are dazzling, turning into a bright crystal, shining on the white snow on the top of the mountain, dazzling and dazzling.

Calming down, Xia Yuan stepped on the thick snow and continued to climb the mountain.

In two or three steps, you climb up to the ridge and you can see the rolling mountains and meandering rivers, and the wind and snow are raging.

Xia Yuan's breath froze slightly, and he exhaled a breath of hot air, "Where have we gone." ”

At the moment, he was also a little lost.

The road, which had been rushed for a day and a night, seemed to be completely different from what was expected, and they had deviated so badly from the route that they did not even know where they had gone now.

"We have to find the right direction again."

Xia Yuan looked up at the sky, calculated the direction of the rising sun, and estimated the direction of the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

"I actually kept running to the east, and I continued to run, and I guess I reached the Wolf Forest Mountains in North Korea."

The Wolf Forest Range is located in the center of northern Korea, at the junction of South Hamgyong Province, Lianggang Province, and Jagang Province. The average altitude is about 2,000 meters, high in the south and low in the north.

Looking at the ridge in the distance, the terrain was obviously getting higher and higher, and they actually ran towards the Wolf Forest Mountain Range.

This road does not work, and the Wolf Forest Mountains in winter are covered with snow and ice, and the climate is cold.

No wonder all the way forward, the weather is terrible.

"You can't go any further."

Xia Yuan retracted his gaze.

I thought that this path was wrong, but now that I look at it, it is indeed not right.

Wasting a lot of time going up and down the mountain, back in the ravine, Zhou Mao lay in the snow, motionless, like a snow bag, seeing Xia Yuan coming, he stood up and hurriedly asked: "How is it, what is on the mountain?" ”

"Nothing, mountain after mountain, we are on the wrong path."

Xia Yuan exhaled and glanced at the eldest elder Liu, who was still sleeping.

Xia Yuan said, "Tonight, let's go west." ”

Zhou Mao glanced back: "Go back the same way?" ”

"Well, if you go south, you can't get through, the mountains are getting higher and higher, and the air is getting colder and colder."
