Chapter 78: Warm-hearted Elder Liu

In addition, the group also analyzed two unhealthy emotions in the troops, one is the fear of the enemy's artillery and aircraft, and the other is the underestimation of the enemy, the rapid end of the domestic war and the establishment of the country, which makes the enthusiasm of the soldiers unprecedentedly high, in the face of the invading US imperialism, although the soldiers show bravery and fearlessness, but in terms of emotions, there is still a light enemy.

It is almost impossible to defeat US imperialism in a matter of months.

For example, in the early days of entering the DPRK, everyone was still engaged in production and construction in China, and their lives gradually stabilized.

So much so that at the beginning of the Korean Dynasty, many people were in the mood to wait until the war was over to do this or that kind of thing.

For another example, when some cadres had grown beards and others advised him to shave their faces, he said lightly, "Let's shave together when the Korean War is over!"

It can be seen that many fighters have a contemptuous attitude towards the enemy.

This is extremely undesirable, and in order to defeat a fierce and powerful enemy, it is necessary to overcome these two emotions and unequivocally fight the invading forces of US imperialism.

In terms of operational thinking, the group made it clear that the enemy's infantry relied on the air force, tanks, and artillery fire to strengthen their courage, and that their level of coordinated combat was very high, but they were afraid of the volunteers' close combat, night battles, and roundabouts, so they should attack the enemy's shortcomings and promote their own strengths, focus on movement warfare, supplemented by positional warfare and guerrilla warfare, concentrate superior forces, and destroy the enemy all the way.

In terms of tactics, a small number of troops are used to attack the front to contain the enemy, while the main force encircles the enemy from the flank, with close combat and night combat as the mainstay, boldly interspersed with detours......

The deputy secretary also conveyed to the cadres the operational policy formulated by the rear for the volunteers to lure the enemy deep and seek opportunities for various female enemies, and the combat deployment of the division to turn the tide of the Korean war in accordance with the requirements of the rear and pushed the battle line to the south of Pyongyang and Wonsan...... This was the plan for the second campaign.

Hearing this, the meeting room suddenly became active, all of them stretched their eyebrows, smiled, and discussed the battle one after another.

Since the beginning of the DPRK, the commanders and fighters of the whole army have been looking forward to beating the US army and the Li puppet army happily, hating the DPRK, hating the people of the motherland, and winning glory for the peace-loving people of the world!

However, due to the changes in the situation on the Korean battlefield, he has not been able to find an opportunity.

Now, that time has finally arrived.

A second battle is imminent!

Political Commissar Liu read out the decision of the military department at the meeting, calling on all commanders and fighters of the whole army to "respond to the call of the dang committee of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and work hard to create a large number of heroic regiments, battalions, and companies."

In the resolution, the War Department said: "A new campaign is about to begin, in which we will annihilate the enemy in greater numbers in order to stop the enemy's offensive and fundamentally change the situation of the war. Therefore, in this campaign, we must do our utmost to overcome the shortcomings in past operations, endure and overcome all hardships and difficulties with the greatest determination, and strive for a complete victory in the campaign!"

"In order to call on the whole army to carry forward the spirit of revolutionary heroism and create a large number of combat hero regiments, hero battalions, hero companies and individual heroes in the future battles, the D Committee decided to respond to the call of the Zhi Division, and hoped that all regiments, battalions and companies of the whole army will work hard to fight for the glorious title in future operations!"

Political Commissar Liu was a political worker with rich experience, and the content of his speech was quite agitatory, which made the division and regiment cadres at the meeting enthusiastic and eager to try, and they all wanted to create new honors for their troops.

The meeting was very good, and the criticism of the Zhiji enabled the commanders and fighters of the whole army to strengthen their sense of the overall situation, overcome their blind pride, and hold back their strength from top to bottom, so that they could not but display the prestige of the 38th Army.

The call of the D Committee of the Volunteer Army also made everyone have specific goals to strive for, and they all wanted to compare their superiors on the battlefield.

In accordance with the requirements of the campaign, the divisions, administration, and rear offices of the army have concretely organized and implemented the work of various functional departments, and the commanders and fighters of all divisions and regiments have carried out in-depth political and ideological mobilization and drawn up plans for annihilating the enemy.

For a time, in a snow-capped ravine, in the dense bushes of silver trees and pear blossoms

On the shrapnel flying positions, everyone made plans one after another, and everyone expressed their awakening, and they all said that they would give up everything for a fundamental change in the situation of the Korean War!

On the 834 heights, the three companies were stationed.

The meeting held by the military headquarters has not yet been sent to the companies.

After two night raids, the 3rd Company was replenished with ammunition and stored the remaining ammunition in a ravine in the rear.

"We're strong now, when can our superiors send us combat missions."

In the temporary company headquarters of the third company, Instructor Hu gazed at the outline of the distant mountains, and was in a heroic mood.

When did the third company become like this, it became the sharp knife of the whole regiment, and the weapons and equipment were upgraded, not to mention how many bazookas they had, but each platoon had one bazooka, three shells, which was left for them by the regiment headquarters, if it was replaced by other companies, one company would have two bazookas at most.

Company Commander Sun didn't know how to feel, but with the arrival of Xia Yuan, the third company had undergone earth-shaking changes.

In his heart, he also hoped that his superiors would arrange new combat tasks for them, and give full play to the combat effectiveness of the Third Company to win a big victory.

Four-row positions.

Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao are packing up their things, and now there are nine companies to contain the enemy, they don't have much to do now, so the two of them are going to go to the rear hospital to take a look at Da Lao Liu, and by the way, give some of the captured loot gadgets to Da Lao Liu.

"In the past, the old squad leader always said that we can't do it here, we can't do it there, but now we have also killed a lot of foreign devils, hehe, let the old squad leader envy and envy."

"I guess the old squad leader heard this, and he wanted to carry his gun to the battlefield."

"Hahahaha!"

The two cleaned up and chatted.

Xia Yuan walked over and handed them a piece of chocolate wrapped in candy wrapper: "You two go, give this thing to Elder Liu."

"Platoon leader, don't worry, I'll definitely bring this thing to the squad leader."

Xia Yuan is now a platoon commander, and he can't leave the position casually, and the task of visiting the eldest elder Liu falls on Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao.

The elder Liu's leg was injured to the bone, and the injured muscles and bones moved for a hundred days, and within three or four months, he was not recuperating well.

Field hospital in the rear.

The field hospital, which had retreated to a forest near the Qingchuan River, was camouflaged by grass and trees, the figures were shaking, the medical personnel carrying stretchers came and went, and the wounded were wandering around, and there would be a roar overhead, and the enemy's fighter planes roared through the sky, and the field hospital hidden in the forest was not found.

Elder Liu's legs were fixed with several wooden sticks, and he was holding a cane made of tree branches.

"How's your recovery today, don't worry, it's going to be good."

"Come on, come on, I'll help you."

"This leg is out of the way, I guess it's almost good, and then we'll be a good man again."

He made a lot of new friends here, got to know a lot of wounded and medical staff, and he often helped some of the wounded, chatted with them, chatted with them, and relieved their sad feelings.

Next to the area where he was resting, a new wounded man arrived, his legs were blown off by shells, and he was sent to the rear field hospital, although his life was saved, but his legs were gone, which was still a huge blow to him.

The nurse who changed the dressing would often comfort him and sing to him to ease his mood.

Elder Liu chatted with him if he had nothing to do.

The little soldier could see that the people around him cared about him, but his emotions just couldn't be raised.

Especially watching other wounded soldiers, discharged from the hospital, and those who continue to go to the battlefield continue to go to the battlefield, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

The loss of his two legs means that he cannot go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make a contribution to the country.

On this day, the little soldier looked at the nurse and asked, "Can I still grow these two legs?"

The nurse didn't know what to say to the little soldier, and her expression was very embarrassed.

The eldest elder Liu was on crutches, beside him, and said with a smile, "Big brother, what are you afraid of, it's the same if you don't have legs

He's a good man."

The little soldier's eyes were filled with hope, and then dimmed: "If I am like this, I will only become a burden to the country."

Elder Liu comforted him: "How can there be such a thing as a burden or not a burden, why did we come out, resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, protecting the family and defending the country, it is a supreme glorious thing, your injury is for the people of the motherland and the country, what a glorious thing, the leg is gone, we can still go home to engage in production, and the construction of the motherland may contribute to our efforts."

The little warrior looked at him, "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, you can recuperate your injuries now, although we can't fight for the country on the battlefield, but we can make meritorious contributions to the country in other places in the future."

Elder Liu said with a smile, "Rest in peace, it's your task to heal your injuries!"

"Yes!"

The little warrior nodded vigorously.

"Old squad leader!"

The eldest Liu Zhengle chatted with the little soldier, heard a familiar voice behind him, looked back, and his mouth was crooked, "Why are you two here?" Where's Xia Boy?"

Xiao Heping said happily: "Old squad leader, you definitely don't know, Xia Yuan is now a platoon leader, with more than thirty people, looking at the position, he can't come, and said that he wants me to hand this over to you."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of chocolate wrapped in candy paper from his pocket and handed it to Da Lao Liu.

"Xia Kid is already a platoon leader!"

Elder Liu glared and said, "When I fell behind, I could see that this kid was very powerful, but I didn't expect that how long it had passed, and he was already a platoon leader, I'm afraid he didn't make a great contribution."

In wartime, the promotion of troops is actually quite fast, as long as they make a great contribution, and the subsequent battles they participate in do not sacrifice, they can basically be promoted.

During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, some people were already regiment commanders, division commanders, and even army commanders in their early twenties.

Sixteen, seven, and eight squad leaders are very common in the ranks of the Volunteer Army.

Zhou Mao said: "That's not it, Xia Yuan has made a great contribution, even the head of the regiment praised him for being powerful, in my opinion, Xia Yuan can continue to rise!"

"I will definitely be able to continue to rise, the platoon commander has made great achievements in the past two days, and he has taken a lot of prisoners with people, and it is estimated that there are two platoons, and a lot of ammunition has been captured." Xiao Heping said excitedly that he was also involved in this matter, and also eliminated the soldiers of the Li puppet army.

He happily said to the elder Liu, "Old squad leader, I have also destroyed the enemy, don't you say that as long as you kill one enemy, even if you are a combat hero, I have destroyed a lot."

"Yes, yes, you are both battle heroes!"

The eldest elder Liu was happy for the two, he obviously felt that the immaturity of the two of them had faded a lot, and there was a thick layer of gunsmoke on their bodies, which was growth.

The two stayed with Elder Liu all morning, and told Elder Liu in detail what Xia Yuan had done, and after listening to it, Elder Liu smashed his mouth, "This kid is really powerful, thanks to not sending this kid back before."

After listening to the narration of the two, the elder Liu was shocked, he has been in the army for a long time, and he has experienced large and small wars.

The war in the country can be said to be quite beautiful, the soldiers were brave and fearless, and swept away the reactionary forces in the country, and during this period, many combat heroes were born, and there were several who went out to become heroes just by eating his meal.

However, heroes are not so easy to be, and every hero becomes a hero at the cost of almost his life.

And everything Xia Yuan did was like dancing under the enemy's gun, completely putting his life on the enemy's gun, but the enemy just couldn't hit him.

Everything he did was enough to make him a battle hero.

Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao didn't stay in the field hospital for too long, the two asked the old squad leader about his injuries, gave him some trophies, and a small amount of canned food, and left in a hurry.

Elder Liu looked at the loot in his arms with a relieved smile on his face.

There's nothing more gratifying than watching the warriors grow up under your hands.

"Here, try the chocolate of the American devil, you certainly haven't eaten it."

Putting things in the place where he was sleeping, Da Lao Liu came to the little soldier with chocolate, broke the chocolate and fed it to him.

"It's sweet."

The little soldier tasted it, and the small piece of chocolate slipped open in his mouth, sweet and silky.

Back on the battlefield, the two found Xia Yuan.

"What's wrong with Elder Liu's injury?" Xia Yuan asked the two of them.

"The injury is recovering very well, he said that he is in the recovery period and needs to rest, but if he wants to go to the battlefield, the hospital will not let him." Zhou Mao was thirsty, unscrewed the marching kettle and drank it, and said while drinking.

"His leg injury has not healed yet, and even if he returns to the team, the company commander will not let him go to the front line." Xia Yuan said with a smile.

"The field hospital should watch the old squad leader, and when his leg injury is healed, he will come to the front line." Xiao Heping nodded seriously.

"Everything was given to him, right?"

"Here, we also told the old squad leader what you did, and the old squad leader was shocked when he heard it, saying that you are getting better and better now." Zhou Mao said.

"It's not getting better and better, it's always been powerful!"

Xia Yuan was not modest, and a smile appeared on his face.

The four-row position of the 834 Heights, because there was nothing to do, Xia Yuan asked the soldiers to dig a tunnel behind the mountain, and it is estimated that by the end of the second battle, the logistics problems of the Volunteer Army will be exposed, and he believes that in the future, it will be transferred to the position defense with the tunnel as a system.

The tunnel is very practical, especially against the aircraft artillery of the US army.
