The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 801 The Beginning

Attacking.

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 contributions to the people of China and North Korea."

Deputy squad leader Li Delin led a group and hunched forward amidst the artillery fire, with shells and bullets roaring in front and behind them. The deputy squad leader led the combat team across a small river and finally approached the enemy position.

When Captain Sun saw this, he yelled: "Cover!"

The enemy suffered a blow, and a combat group of the Volunteer Army came over. Seeing that the situation was not right, they turned around and fled.

Upon seeing this, deputy squad leader Li Delin took the opportunity to pursue him fiercely. He led his soldiers to seize five hills in a row, chasing the enemy to the ground.

The battalions cooperated with each other. The 335th Regiment occupied all the enemy positions in just one hour, seized 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 finished fighting, it was almost dawn.

The three platoons of the third company were ordered to hold on to the forward position and repelled five enemy charges in succession. The third platoon suffered more casualties. Finally, there were only two people left in the forward position. The enemy attacked in several directions. Machine gunner Chen Shoulu pressed the bullets and shot by himself. The enemy He fought wherever he came up. After a day of fierce fighting, corpses lay everywhere in front of the position. The third company position was still firmly in the hands of the volunteers and they persisted.

It opens up a path for victory for the whole army.

When the roundabout troops arrived at the designated position, the fleeing enemy was in disarray, and the skirmishers were shooting everywhere without being organized.

The 338th Regiment took advantage of the situation and moved forward.

During the break, a comrade sat down to rest on a pile of straw. He found that the bottom of his buttocks was soft and soft. He was startled. He stood up and roared. A puppet soldier emerged from the pile of straw. He held up his With his hands and broken grass hanging on his face, he looked funny.

The Second Company of the 338th Regiment captured more than 20 prisoners during the battle on the Qingchuan River. They were all gathered under a railway bridge. Comrade Xing Ze, the political commissar of the regiment, came under the bridge and saw the teeth of these prisoners chattering in fear and their whole bodies trembling. If their faces had not been blackened by gunpowder smoke, I would not have been able to see their pale, bloodless faces.

He shouted: "Don't be afraid, we will not kill prisoners."

At this time, a small prisoner stood up and said in fluent Chinese: "I know the Red Party's policy is to surrender guns but not to kill."

Xing Ze was a little surprised and asked: "I can speak Chinese, so fluently, and the accent sounds like someone from the Northeast."

The little prisoner admitted: "I grew up in Harbin, Northeast China."

Xing Ze said "Oh", he thought, maybe there are Japanese devils among these prisoners.

As for the United Nations Army, it must be a coalition of several countries. It is normal to have people from other countries.

After the victory in Xindongli, the 335th Regiment briefly rested in Xindongli, waiting for the military headquarters to issue new combat orders.

Three in a row.

The previous soldiers caused the third company to sacrifice many comrades.

There were only two soldiers left in the third row of the third company, sitting on the ground in disgrace. The joy of the previous battle had passed, and there was a lingering haze hanging over the heads of the third company.

Instructor Hu saw that the soldiers were not in high spirits and went to Company Commander Sun, "It can be seen that after this first battle, there is suddenly no mission. When you are free, the sacrifice of the soldiers will always bring some emotional and emotional impact to the soldiers." .”

Captain Sun sighed: "The peaceful life before twisted the soldiers into a rope. The sudden separation makes no one feel good."

After a pause, he looked at instructor Hu and asked, "Instructor, what do you think?"

"Let the soldiers' emotions brew for a while first, and when the mission is over, let the soldiers' sad emotions turn into the motivation to fight the enemy resolutely." Instructor Hu said: "Revenge the sacrificed soldiers and make contributions to the country."

"Instructor, then I will listen to you."

Instructor Hu and others are not worried that the soldiers will have psychological problems because of this battle. The soldiers in the company are made of steel and have participated in many wars. Partings and sacrifices are common.

They always firmly believe that comrades cannot be defeated.

When they came to North Korea, the cooking squad was much busier than before. When they set off from the country, they were marching in a hurry, and a lot of food was lost at the military station. Fortunately, they dug new holes, and the enemy fled in a hurry, leaving behind a lot of weapons and equipment.

Old Liu was not interested in weapons and equipment. He was thinking more about how to make the soldiers eat good and hot meals in such a difficult war.

"You brat, don't just pick up ammunition, look for the enemy's food supplies."

While cleaning the battlefield, Old Man Liu saw Xia Yuan, Zhou Mao, and Xiao Heping carrying American semi-automatic rifles behind their backs and enemy bullet bags hanging on their bodies. He was immediately furious. These wasted things. Son, just pick up some useless things.

When there is no gun, food is still the most important thing.

Old Liu followed the troops in the north and south, and he had some foresight. The American planes were very rampant, invading China's airspace many times, blowing up bridges and railways. If the US military wanted to block the supply routes of the volunteers, it would not be a problem. Difficult things.

At this moment, the volunteers had just entered North Korea and caught the US military by surprise.

If the US military reacts and sends planes to block the supply lines of the volunteers, it will be very difficult for them to replenish food.

Old Liu's vision is quite far-sighted.

He slapped a few brats and told them to quickly search for food and fill all the places on their bodies with food that could be stuffed.

The elder Liu said in a long-winded way: "How many times have I told you that the task of our cooking class is to cook for the troops. What is most important, it must be food. Besides, we travel across mountains and rivers and march overnight. Soldiers The physical energy consumption is very high, so eat more nutritious food."

The elder Liu worried a lot about the health of the soldiers.

"You bring more food, so the soldiers will not be hungry. The soldiers will bring these guns and ammunition themselves. If you can't take them away, the logistics will be able to take them with you, so you don't need to worry."

Old Liu's tone was full of hatred.

Xia Yuan smiled and said: "Squad leader, everyone is scared. Look how good the foreigner's gun is. It can hold eight rounds of bullets. There is no need to pull the bolt. Once the safety is on, just pull the trigger. What if we even have all the equipment?" Go ahead, fight the American devils, isn’t it easy to capture them?”

"You brat, don't worry about this." Old Liu frowned when he saw Xia Yuan carrying two guns: "Don't lose your guns. I've told you many times about the discipline issues in the army. , the gun is your life, even if there are guns everywhere here, you cannot change your weapon at any time. If you want to change the weapon, you need to report it to the instructor and the company commander."

Right now, the war has just begun, and the discipline of the troops is still quite strict.

Xia Yuan responded and shouldered his gun.

When the volunteers and the US military start to exchange fire in the future, it doesn't matter whether they have guns or not.

Xia Yuan did not refute, and listened quietly to the nagging of the elder Liu.

"Go find the can."

At the end, Old Liu kicked Xia Yuan and cursed: "You bastard, you can't understand the importance. Zhou Mao, you are also a veteran. You can't understand the importance. The conditions were so difficult before, soldiers." It’s not easy to eat hot food, let alone eat meat. These American devils are rich, and their cans contain both sugar and meat, so buy more and put them on you.”

It can be said that Liu, the elder, followed the army from the time when the army was very poor, traveling all over the country and fighting in the north and south.

He was the leader of the cooking squad. Sometimes, the troops had nothing to eat, not even salt, so they could only boil wild vegetables in water. Boiling wild vegetables in water is very unpalatable. When you eat it, it tastes dry and astringent in your mouth.

Now that the People's Republic of China has been established, life has become better, and many soldiers in the cooking class have forgotten those difficult days.

Zhou Mao said with a smile: "Squad leader, we have the logistics to ensure that everyone is not hungry."

"You brat, I see you have forgotten the past." Old Liu was furious and stepped forward to teach Zhou Mao a lesson. Unfortunately, instructor Hu came over and asked for Zhao Ruilong and Zhao Translator.

Old Liu looked around, sweating all over his body, and patted his head: "Oh, I was so busy looking for food that I forgot about Comrade Zhao. Zhou Mao, go look for it quickly."

"What the hell, has Translator Zhao lost it?"

When Captain Sun heard this, his head was pounding.

The surrounding mountains and fields were blurry and pitch-black. There was a faint shimmer in the sky that could not dispel the darkness, and scattered snowflakes fell from the sky.

The mountains and fields were full of warriors running around, and there were figures shaking everywhere. It was really not easy to find Translator Zhao.

Captain Sun asked the second platoon to search, and the elder Liu was not idle either. He asked Xia Yuan and the others to continue searching for supplies. He took several soldiers from the cooking squad and ran around to search.

Finally finding Translator Zhao in the ravine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Translator Zhao said: "I couldn't find you, so I didn't wander around. I stayed where I was. I knew you would come to me."

Old Liu looked anxious: "Fortunately I found you, otherwise something would have gone wrong."

The company commander asked him to look at Translator Zhao. If he lost Translator Zhao, it would be a minor offense to give him any major fault. Fortunately, Translator Zhao was found.

Captain Sun said: "Old Liu, you are optimistic about Translator Zhao."

"Yes!"

Old Liu didn't dare to be careless, and he couldn't be careless.

If the company performs missions in the future, it will be inseparable from Translator Zhao.

They didn't collect many cans. There were a lot of enemies in the new cave, and a lot of supplies were left behind. But it wasn't just their regiment that attacked, there were also comrades from the 3rd, 3rd and 4th regiments. In addition to the companies at all levels, these supplies were In addition to ground replenishment, other supplies must be handed over to logistics.

Logistics will transport materials to military depots and store them in preparation for emergencies.

Therefore, Da Lao Liu and the others only carried a few days' worth of rations, plus some cans, which were carried by the soldiers in the cooking squad.

They ignored their grief and buried the fallen soldiers on the high ground where they once stood. Company Commander Sun and a hundred men stood in front of the grave. The red wine seized from the American devils was poured on the ground. The soldiers carried Wearing weapons and equipment, they disappeared into the dusk.

On the 30th, the main force of the Western Front of the Volunteer Army entered Gujunyingdong, Tapdong, the north of Taichuan, the north of Yunshan, Onjing, and Heisan, completing the campaign and annihilating the Sixth Army of the South Korean Army in the process. The main division and two battalions of the Eighth Division surrounded the First Division.

The South Korean army was hit, but it did not attract MacArthur's attention. He still insisted on completing the plan to occupy North Korea before Thanksgiving.

On the 31st, the 24th Division of the US Army advanced to Taichuan and Turtle City, and the 27th British Brigade advanced to Dingzhou and Xuanchuan, and then advanced to Fenzhou and Sinuiju.

MacArthur ordered the U.S. First Division (the division has the oldest history in the U.S. Army and enjoys the title of "Ace Army") to Yunshan for reinforcements.

The main force of the First Division of the South Korean Army moved to the Yongbyon area, the Eighth Division retreated to the Tianjing area, and the Seventh Division moved eastward to the Tianjing and Tokugawa areas.

The U.S. Second Division was transferred north to the Anzhou area as the reserve force of the Eighth Army.

Shiji adopted a strategy of roundabout combined with frontal assault to the enemy's flank, concentrated his forces to annihilate the enemies in Yunshan, Taichuan, and Tianjing areas, and asked all ministries to launch an attack at dusk on November 1.

November 1, 17:00 p.m.

The sky darkened, and the top of the ridge in the distance exuded a faint light, which was the setting sun in the west.

Dusk enveloped the earth and snowflakes fell.

The soldiers of the 38th Army hidden among the ridges and ravines were spitting out white mist and holding steel guns in their hands that were red and swollen from the cold.

Captain Sun glanced at his watch from time to time, his expression solemn.

Instructor Hu calmed the soldiers' emotions, looked at Translator Zhao again, and then found Company Commander Sun and asked in a low voice: "What time is it?"

"Sixteen forty-nine."

"There are eleven minutes left, comrades, get ready to fight."

Hearing instructor Hu's voice, the soldiers opened the safety of their weapons and unscrewed the caps of the grenades to make it easier to pull the cord when throwing.

Old Liu lay lying in the snow, turned to look at Xia Yuan and Xiao Heping, and asked them, "Are you nervous?"

Xia Yuan looked calm and shook his head to show that he was not nervous.

After experiencing so much, I have never seen anything like this.

Xiao Heping, on the other hand, looked tense and swayed slightly, not sure whether it was because of the cold or because of nervousness and fear.

If you think about it, you can understand that Xiao Heping had only participated in one battle, and he still held the battle by its tail.

Afterwards, the 38th Army returned in triumph and returned to the production area to carry out the task of reclaiming wasteland. Xiao Heping never participated in the battle.

The battle at Tailgen was not really a battle. The reactionaries were all fleeing and they were pursued all the way to the south. There were very few people who resisted.

The battle in front of them was very cruel. In the battle in the new cave, the soldiers had a preliminary understanding of their enemy.

The weapons and equipment are luxurious and the shells are free, but they are afraid of death.

Even so, it still cannot be underestimated. The enemy's weapons and equipment are almost crushing them.

"If you're afraid, just take a deep breath. If you take a few deep breaths, you won't be afraid anymore." Old Liu smiled and said, "I asked you to train well before. You said that the cooks don't have to go to the battlefield. Did you see that the three platoons were all wiped out? We don't Come on, who comes on?"

"Get ready!" The trumpeter's voice floated from a distance.

The prone figure swayed slightly, and the equipment collided with each other, making a slight impact sound.

"When we charge later, follow me! Do you hear me?" Old Liu turned his head, "Xia Yuan, look at Translator Zhao."
