Chapter 465 Discipline Is Dead, People Are Alive
In the end, the Military Committee of the [-]th Army unanimously decided to let the [-]th Division stay on the south bank of the Han River and perform cover tasks on the spot.

It is expected that the 3th Division will stay on the south bank of the Han River for at least 5-[-] days.

This telegram is undoubtedly the most deadly to the [-]th Division.

At this time, the [-]th Division fell into silence after passing the suggestion to the military headquarters. Master Zheng was sitting on a stool, cleaning his pistol. He planned to find something to do, but he couldn't find it, so he had to He took out his own gun and kept wiping it.

Deputy Commander Duan and Chief of Staff Wang stared at the map, their brows twisted into a ball of hemp rope.

Director Wu went to the logistics. The logistics has nothing but guns. These guns were also seized from the enemy, and then the broken guns were sent to the division headquarters. Maybe they will be sent back to the country for smelting and can be used later. New China was established. In the end, it was poor and empty, a thousand wastes were waiting for prosperity, there was a shortage of steel, and bullet casings had to be recycled, which shows how poor New China was at that time.

"Crench!"

The translator Zhao Guobang's stool screamed strangely. He stood up from the stool, walked quickly to Commander Zheng, and handed him the telegram from the military department just now. Stick to the south for 3-5 days.

The situation on the battlefield is already quite severe, and the superiors still ordered them to stick to the south of the Bukhan River for three to five days!

The "United Nations Army" on the central front launched a counterattack to the wide front of the Third Corps with a width of more than 150 kilometers.

At this time, Almond didn't know that there was only an understaffed [-]th Division in the south of the Han River defending on the spot. He hadn't noticed the big gap between the Third Corps and the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army. Although Germany deployed more troops on the front of the [-]th Division and the central front, but before its "task force" broke into the side of the Volunteers, it did not dare to boldly advance northward quickly.

This 'task force' is the famous Newman vanguard.

Newman's vanguard will penetrate to the rear of the volunteers, and Almond will also use the penetration of Newman's vanguard to launch a full-scale attack on the volunteers' positions.The attack time of the Newman vanguard is on the 24th.In other words, before the 24th, the U.S. military's offensive was particularly violent for the Volunteer Army. In fact, for the U.S. military, such an attack was quite cautious.

Almond had to be so cautious. MacArthur was already a lesson for the past, and the first four battles were even more a lesson for the past. Especially in the first, second, and third battles, the Chinese attacked quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. At the [-]th parallel, Almond became afraid of the Volunteers in his heart, which made him start to deal with the Volunteers cautiously.

At this time, on the highway between the front line and the [-]th Division, gunpowder smoke was rising from the potholes, and the aftermath of the ground vibration had just dissipated. A wreck of a truck was billowing black smoke, and the roaring US bomber flew into the clouds and disappeared. not see.

Big Ma yelled: "I fucked your grandma's little devil!! The truck that I finally drove, you just blow up the truck, you will die!"

He turned his head and looked at the bombed truck, feeling distressed in his heart.

"A good load of ammunition was blown up. I don't feel sorry for you. If you have money, you can blow it up if you say so. I still feel sorry for you."

Hearing Big Ma's scolding, Xia Yuan looked at Instructor Shao who came over, and he shook his head slightly.

"Sun Xianda is a good comrade. In order to protect the truck from being bombarded by the enemy, he is still working hard at the last moment of his life. He is a hero."

Xia Yuan didn't speak, only distressed himself. On the way to the headquarters of the [-]th Division, they were bombed by US bombers again and lost a truck.

The truck was loaded with ammunition. Sun Xianda drove the truck out of the convoy, and drove the truck onto the flat road, attracting the attention of the U.S. bombers. Three U.S. bombers chased after them.

The road is different from the small road. The surface of the road is full of impact points left by the US bombers after the bombing, with potholes. In addition, the surrounding area is flat and there is no shelter. Xia Yuan took them on the small road.

When the U.S. bombers came from a distance, they didn't notice Xia Yuan's convoy at first because they were too far apart.

At that time, it was too late for them to use the bushes on the path for camouflage.

As long as the U.S. military planes fly over, they will definitely be found. At this moment of crisis, Sun Xianda drove his truck to the flat, wide road that is easy to be found.It was Sun Xianda's active exposure that allowed them to escape.

But Sun Xianda did not escape this catastrophe. A shell landed on the truck, detonating the ammunition on it, and in an instant, the truck became a pile of wreckage.

When they realized it, it was too late, Sun Xianda was shattered by the shells, and nothing on him could be found.

Instructor Shao said: "Old Xia, we should find a place to hide the materials and wait until after dark before transporting the materials there. It is too risky to transport them during the daytime. The enemy's planes are flying one after another. It may be discovered by the enemy, so many supplies, if they are all blown up, I feel distressed."

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and looked at the wreckage of the car without saying a word. After thinking for a long time, he opened the map and looked at their current location.

"The front line is more than 100 kilometers to the rear. How long have we traveled? The roads in the mountains are not easy to walk. If these materials can be sent to the rear earlier, more people can be rescued. The ammunition is fine, but the food and medicine are not available for a moment. There can be no delay."

Xia Yuan handed the map to Instructor Shao, and said: "Instructor, the distance from the front to the rear is too far, and it took a day to delay. I don't know what will happen to the situation on the battlefield. This batch of supplies should be sent to the division headquarters earlier. No matter how difficult it is, it must be overcome.”

Knowing that Xia Yuan couldn't be persuaded, Instructor Shao was silent for a while, then stood up nodding his head: "Okay, if that's the case, then try to deliver this batch of materials to the division headquarters during the daytime, and let's continue to set off!"

Sun Xianda's sacrifice made them sad for a short time, and they cheered up again. Since Sun Xianda's sacrifice could not find anything to prove him, Lao Yang led people to find some ashes from the wreckage of the car, dug a big pit, and put This smear of ashes was buried in a pit, and no monument was erected due to limited conditions.

"I don't know how many comrades like Sun Xianda did not erect monuments during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. When the times change, perhaps this grave will become an inconspicuous small slope, and then be flattened by the development of the times."

After lighting a cigarette, I dispelled the heaviness in my heart, returned to the truck, started the car and continued towards the division headquarters, and then another huge crisis appeared. After a while, the truck broke down halfway.

"U.S. military trucks have already consumed a lot of fuel on the way to transport, and may need to replenish fuel when returning to the station. It is normal to break down halfway."

"Then what do we do now?"

"Hide the vehicles first, those that can drive continue on the road, those that cannot drive stay here, and wait for the comrades in front to pass the news."

"Company commander, company commander!"

When Instructor Shao was talking with Xia Yuan, Wang Xiaoliang, who was in charge of the investigation task, stood on the top of the hill and shouted loudly: "Our comrades, we met our comrades."

Everyone got up one after another and ran to the top of the mountain. From a distance, they saw a group of comrades walking along the mountain road. They also saw a company on the top of the mountain and waved to them.

"Comrade, which part of you, why are you here?"

The person on the opposite side came, a company commander, and asked and learned that the other party was a comrade of the machine gun company of the [-]nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment.

"We are one battalion and one company of the [-]th regiment. We have seized several carts of supplies and are about to send them to the division headquarters."

Xia Yuan shook hands with him, and asked, "Comrade, where are you going?"

"Reinforce Jiuluan Mountain, the frontline battle is fierce, and the foreign devils' offensive is even more fierce. Not only the front, but also the US troops from the east side. We have to rush to block the US troops on the east side and delay time."

The company commander of the machine gun company said.

"We seized four truckloads of ammunition, one was blown up by the plane of the foreign devils, and there are three truckloads of ammunition left. These ammunition will be transported to the rear and will also be transported to the front line. Why don't you take them together? If you encounter brother troops , distribute these materials to them.”

Xia Yuan's plan was to hand over these materials to the division headquarters for unified distribution by the division commander, but now that the trucks have broken down halfway, and few can be driven, the delivery of these materials needs to be carefully considered.

As the wounded began to be transported to the rear, medicine was a life-saving thing and had to be sent to the division headquarters.All the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division have not eaten or drank for a long time, and the canned food also needs to be sent to the rear part, while the other part can stay on the front line.

"Okay, okay, great, with this batch of ammunition, the soldiers don't need to worry about ammunition. After fighting for so many days, the consumption of ammunition is very high. The soldiers marched continuously, and they were exhausted. At that time, I haven't rested for several days, and this batch of ammunition is really a timely help!"

The company commander was very happy to hold Xia Yuan's hand, holding on tightly and not letting go.

He looked at the truck down the mountain and asked again: "Comrade, I wonder if you can give us a box of canned food. I don't want too much, just one box is enough. Several soldiers of the machine gun company suffer from night blindness. They can't eat well and can't sleep well." Okay, I can’t see clearly at night. If this foreign devil calls up at night, it will be terrible. The health worker said that night blindness is caused by malnutrition. I thought about improving the food for the soldiers, but the superiors couldn’t provide any food. For a while, the soldiers survived by eating wild vegetables, but I didn’t expect those comrades suffering from night blindness to lose their sight in the daytime.”

He was a little ashamed, and said cautiously: "Foreign devils don't carry food with them when they fight. It's too difficult to seize from them. There is a box of canned food. When they eat, they open a can and make soup for them to drink to warm their bodies. "

Seeing a company commander do this for the soldiers, the feeling in the hearts of the soldiers in the company is really uncomfortable. The war has been fought so far, and all the troops are very difficult. Fortunately, they followed the company commander and captured the U.S. military After the supplies, I ate canned food this morning. One canned food can last a whole day without food.

Their life is easier, but there are still many brother troops whose life is still difficult.

"Company commander."

A company of soldiers looked at Xia Yuan hesitantly. They raised their heads to see that the soldiers of the fraternal army were supporting each other. They were not injured, but tired. Many soldiers hadn't eaten for several days. He has no strength, but when he arrives on the battlefield, he shows amazing perseverance.

Xia Yuan was also full of displeasure.

The history book is too small, just flipping a page is their whole life, in the vast river of history, they are so insignificant, but in this world, the radiance of them is so dazzling, they embellish the history The long river makes the long river look more bright.

"Comrade, there are three carts of canned food. You take two carts away. If you encounter brother troops, distribute these cans to brother troops. The soldiers are fighting against the foreign devils with hunger. We can't sit idly by."

After much deliberation, Xia Yuan decided to make his own decision and distribute the two truckloads of supplies to the comrades of the machine gun company in front of him, and then they would hand them over to the battalion headquarters or meet other comrades and give them the cans directly.

The commander of the machine gun company in front of him showed joy on his face, but hesitation followed: "Comrade, the supplies have been given to us. How do you give the division commander a job? This is a violation of discipline."

"Discipline is dead, but people are alive. If I watch soldiers die in front of my eyes in order to maintain discipline, is it necessary to abide by such discipline? Canned food is emergency, and soldiers are so hungry that they can't even walk If I can’t walk, am I still doing it for the so-called discipline? We have to adapt to the situation on the battlefield.”

Xia Yuan grabbed his hand and said, "Take the cans away, let the soldiers eat first, there are three trucks of cans too much, and the situation of other companies is not optimistic, so we must send the cans to the comrades of other companies. I want to send another truckload of canned food to the rear. There are many wounded in the rear. They need nutrition, and these canned food is their only source of nutrition."

The company commander let go of Xia Yuan's hand, and gratefully saluted him with a standard military salute.

Xia Yuan returned the salute to him with a solemn face.

With one truck blown up, they were left with three truckloads of ammunition, three truckloads of cans, and four truckloads of medicines, and eventually one truckload of cans and four truckloads of medicines. There were many mules in the gun battery, and the mules pulled The baggage, but after continuous fighting, the baggage behind the mules became less and less, and the ammunition consumption of the machine gun company was very serious. So far, the number of shells that can be used is not much, and many mortars have become iron frames, which are useless.

However, mules can still carry a lot of ammunition and canned food. The company commander of the machine gun company hurried to ask people to move things, and asked some people to unpack a few boxes of canned food to share. There is definitely not enough points on him, even if there are three more cars, Xia Yuan can only do what he can do.
