The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 809 Encounter

Xia Yuan and the others lay on the mountain and observed for a while, then quietly ran to the reverse slope.

The US military reconnaissance force is observing and staring on the side of the mountain.

There are already American soldiers running to the ridge and looking to the other side of the mountain.

By staying here, their risk of exposure increases dramatically.

"Retreat first!" Old Liu said decisively.

"Don't worry, follow this group of American troops." Xia Yuan did not agree. After finally encountering so many Americans, he felt somewhat unwilling to let them go.

"What do you want to do?" Old Liu was surprised and asked hurriedly.

"Squad leader, we don't have any supplies now, but the American devils do. Not only do they have them, but they also have many, including military coats, delicious canned meat, medicines, and bullets. I won't be willing to do anything except him."

Xia Yuan felt extremely itchy.

It's hard to catch the opportunity, how could you let it go so easily.

After hearing Xia Yuan's words, everyone broke into a cold sweat.

"There are so many American devils. If you want to steal their supplies, once the enemy finds out, we won't be able to escape."

Zhou Mao was a little nervous. This was the first time he faced so many enemies, and his voice was much softer.

Not to mention stealing the enemy's things, even facing the enemy is scary.

Xiao Heping's face turned pale and his lips were tightly closed.

Zhao Translator's situation is no different from Xiao Heping's. There are too many enemies and Chimelong's team of several thousand people. Once they are discovered, their fate can be imagined.

Not only did Xia Yuan not avoid it, he actually wanted to get the enemy's supplies.

Zhou Mao didn't have the right to speak, but what he said made sense. Compared to Xia Yuan's recklessness, Zhou Mao seemed very cautious.

It was obvious that everyone was leaning towards what Zhou Mao said. The number of enemies was shown here. It was the size of a division, and there were only five of them. It was impossible to get the enemy's supplies no matter how you looked at it. .

Looking at Xia Yuan's expression, it seemed that what he just said didn't seem to be false.

Old Liu looked at Xia Yuan, shook his head and said, "Xia Yuan, your idea is too dangerous. Our current task is to find the troops."

Xia Yuan said nothing and pursed his lips. His idea was indeed very rash for others, but he was sure of it, but others had no confidence at all.

It's a dangerous thing for five people to steal a US division's base.

It's okay not to be discovered, but once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. For the five of them, it will definitely be a situation that is beyond redemption.

Xia Yuan understood them, raised his head and looked at the sky, calculating the time.

It was early, and there were still at least four or five hours before dark.

"Squad leader, let's follow them first. The American devils must know where our troops are. As long as we are careful, there will be no problem."

Xia Yuan was naturally aware of their concerns, and he was fully confident that military supply trucks would be driven out from the camp of these American devils.

Old Liu thought for a moment and felt that what Xia Yuan said made sense. Their biggest problem was losing their way.

The direction of the US military's advance is likely to be the front line. If you follow the US military, you can find their people.

This is inevitable.

"Follow me, but we still have to be careful. We must not be discovered by the enemy. Otherwise, we won't be able to escape."

The elder Liu warned patiently, for fear that something would happen halfway.

Xia Yuan did not insist anymore. As long as the squad leader agreed to follow these American devils, there would always be a chance in the future.

They lay on the reverse slope, on a relatively steep spot, and quietly watched the long line of American troops at the bottom of the mountain, twisting and turning, like ants moving.

"There are so many trucks and heavy artillery. Is this the equipment of the US military division? Grandma's is richer than our army." Liu couldn't stop murmuring, his eyes shining.

Just the convoy of trucks can be seen at a glance. Behind each truck is dragging a large-caliber heavy artillery, which is several times more than the number of heavy artillery in their only heavy artillery unit.

"It would be great if this was our heavy artillery." Zhou Mao was a little jealous when he saw it: "What is the US imperialism? Just bomb it and it will be over."

They have experienced the hardship of not having heavy firepower. It often costs a lot to attack an enemy's firepower point. If they have heavy artillery and aim at the enemy's firepower point, they can blow it up with one shot. There is no need for anyone to blow it up. .

"There will be heavy artillery and airplanes. When we become rich and powerful in the future, we will all have them."

The elder Liu has a dream of strengthening the country in his heart.

This is the dream in the hearts of all soldiers since the founding of New China.

It is unbelievable that in the feudal and ideologically backward old China, the founding of New China and the people being the masters of the country had such an impact on the old culture and old feudal ideas.

For the first time, farmers owned their own land.

Workers and peasants suddenly became the masters, and the whole country was prosperous.

The dream of a strong country, after the founding of New China, was a dream that quietly bloomed in the hearts of the soldiers who had experienced so many hard battles.

No one wants the country to have such powerful weapons and equipment.

I used to envy the little devils, but now I envy the US imperialists. Their opponents are stronger than the last. They are always the same, with millet and rifles, as well as their superhuman will and spirit of risking life and death.

Consistent and everlasting is the desire of soldiers for good weapons and equipment.

Everyone is very jealous of the weapons and equipment owned by the American devils.

"Squad leader, if nothing else, I will get you a machine gun tonight." Xia Yuan licked his chapped lips, his eyes shining.

"Don't be impulsive, kid, and don't forget our mission." Old Liu reminded Xia Yuan that he had never thought that this kid was a militant before, but when he got to the battlefield, his bones showed his passion from the inside out. The excitement can be felt from a distance.

"Don't worry, squad leader, we know what's going on." Xia Yuan responded, counting the time. It won't be long before these American devils stop to rest.

It's a nice day today. It's sunny. The sun shines on the golden snow-capped mountains, coating them with a layer of golden light and shining brightly.

The sun gradually fell into the valley.

Just after the Korean battlefield started, the 114th Guards Division of the 38th Army entered Xichuan on November 1. Xichuan was captured by the volunteers so quickly that the enemy had not had time to attack Xichuan. Large-scale destruction, but at this moment Xichuan is still a lifeless and empty city.

The fluttering snowflakes fell on the eaves, covering them with a thin white quilt.

There are no lights or pedestrians on the road. The buildings and tiles stand in the hazy night. The streets and alleys are covered with telephone lines that the enemy has not yet withdrawn. The walls along the streets still have bomb craters from past battles.

The prosperity of the past is no longer there, but instead makes people feel a sense of eeriness and terror.

Perhaps within a few days, this still intact city will be reduced to ruins under the fire of the US military. But at this moment, a large number of officers and soldiers of the 114th Division were crossing the dead Xichuan River and marching south of Tanfeng. The night road shrouded the earth, dark clouds covered the sky, and it was pitch black. The soldiers stretched out their palms, and it was difficult to distinguish the five stars. finger.

The team followed one after another, listening to the footsteps.

at the same time.

The 19th Regiment of the Sixth Division of Syngman Rhee's Army, which had sneaked to Chushan, was also heading south of Tanfeng.

Moreover, the campsites chosen by the two armies were all located at the same location.

Tanfeng boundary is between Xichuan and the stadium, a village among low-lying ravines.

Dawn on the second day.

The headquarters of the 342nd Regiment was set up in one of the private houses. The leader of the 342nd Regiment did not expect that the rearguard would encounter the enemy. The guard brought the horse mattress and spread out the mattress. The regiment leader and the political commissar were about to lie down. , getting ready to sleep, he heard noisy footsteps outside.

The leader of the 342nd Regiment wondered who would come to the door so late.

suddenly.

A tune sounded outside.

The leader of the 342nd Regiment jumped off the mattress and said, "Where did you get the trumpet!?"

While he was talking, gunfire rang out outside.

The political commissar exclaimed, "It's broken, something happened!"

They ran out, and gunshots were heard in the valley. It turned out that a large group of enemies had also reached the village in the valley from the mountain, and met them face to face.

The artillery company camp personnel living at Mizoguchi had just finished cooking and were looking forward to the company's arrival soon. Suddenly, people ran down from the mountain, opened the pot and were about to serve the rice.

The cook took a closer look, thinking that his troops were back. He walked up to the group and took a look. His helmet was shiny, his hat was crooked under the helmet, and his clothes were hanging down.

You wouldn't know it if you didn't look at it, but you would be shocked if you saw it. It's Li Puppet Army.

Seeing that something serious was going on, he immediately found the bugler and asked the troops to come up quickly.

Soon, the artillery company caught up, and the enemy also came up. There were enemies all over the mountains and plains, and a fierce battle was about to break out. Since the volunteers entered slower than the enemy, the enemy occupied the favorable terrain on the mountain and formed a threat to the 342 Regiment in the ravine. Surrounded by trends.

The terrain of the regiment headquarters is very unfavorable, and it is separated from the first battalion of the regiment by a ridge, and the first battalion lives in another ravine.

The situation at the regiment headquarters suddenly became extremely tense.

The commander of the 342nd Regiment led the regiment and the guard company to withstand the attack of Li Puppet Army. The political commissar grabbed the chief of staff and said: "Quick, run to find the first battalion!"

The chief of staff, surnamed Lu, followed the troops all over the country. He was resourceful and courageous, and had developed a lot of courage. In order to buy time, he bravely jumped from the chaotic enemy into the ravine where the first camp was staying.

We climbed over a mountain in one breath and found the first battalion. The instructor of the first battalion had just entered the house to unload his equipment. The troops had not yet started eating. Hearing the urgent mission, the whistle was blown immediately.

Chief of Staff Lu considered that the enemy in front was faced by the regiment commander, the guard company and the regiment. If they supported him, they could at most drive the enemy away.

If we want to do it, we must completely eliminate this enemy.

So he led a battalion to copy the enemy's rear route, forming a front and rear pincer attack on the enemy.

The first battalion suddenly rushed out of the battlefield and caught the Li Puppet Army by surprise. The soldiers had entered North Korea late, but they finally entered North Korea. They were eager to fight the enemy and show their national prestige and style. When they learned that they had a mission, they The soldiers of the battalion howled and screamed.

When it comes to the battlefield, every one of them is a brave man who dares to kill and fight.

The instructor personally grabbed a submachine gun and led a small team to steal the enemy's retreat.

The melee lasted all morning, and Li's puppet army couldn't hold on any longer and began to flee.

The 342nd Regiment's first battle in North Korea was completed in such a muddle.

A beautiful encounter was fought. The first battalion wiped out about one battalion of enemy troops. The fourth company and the first company wiped out an enemy machine gun company. The whole regiment captured hundreds of prisoners, seized a large number of guns and ammunition, and captured five alive. A US military consultant.

This is the first time that volunteers have entered North Korea to fight and captured a US military officer.

And rescued five female soldiers of the Korean People's Army from the enemy.

After the battle, the soldiers saw that the cooked rice had frozen into ice lumps, and no one could eat it.

The battle came too suddenly, and the encounter was even more sudden. Although they had a beautiful encounter, they also lost and sacrificed some comrades.

The commander of the third company died, and a total of twenty-three comrades of the first battalion died.

After living peacefully for several months, the sudden departure made some soldiers secretly shed tears. Especially the sacrifice of the third company commander was extremely sad for the third company.

Fang Xin, the instructor of the first battalion, was an excellent political worker. He observed the emotions of the comrades and felt that they must educate them to treat sacrifice correctly. After dinner, he gathered the entire battalion to hold a memorial service for the martyrs. .

Comrades faced the howling cold wind and took off their hats in front of the martyrs' bodies to pay their respects.

Instructor Fang stood aside and introduced the resume and achievements of each martyr, and then said:

"Today, twenty-three martyrs sacrificed their lives for the peace of the motherland and the liberation of the Korean people. Their sacrifices are heavier than Mount Tai. As long as we can exchange blood and lives for human peace and happiness, we have nothing to regret. . And we must account for this blood debt to U.S. imperialism and demand repayment of this blood debt from U.S. imperialism!”

An earth-shattering roar rang out in the mountain forest:

"Avenge your comrades!"

"Avenge the North Korean people!"

As darkness fell, the troops of the 342nd Regiment continued to advance, and the regiment leader left the pro-democracy officer behind to deal with the seized guns, ammunition and supplies.

Camping that day, the 342nd Regiment accepted yesterday's lesson and ordered the troops not to live in the ravine or disband before dawn, and to prepare for battle anytime and anywhere.

Sure enough, after dawn, they saw that the ravine was full of enemies camping. The leader of the 342nd Regiment ordered the entire regiment to go into battle. This time there were more prisoners. The troops had just finished cleaning the battlefield and had just gone to rest when the division came again. Order.

Something happened in the mountain artillery camp.

There were many broken troops of the Li Puppet Army in the mountains. These broken troops rushed to the mountain artillery camp and broke the mountain artillery camp into two parts, asking them to send people to relieve the siege immediately.

After a brief discussion with the political commissar, the regiment leader ordered the third battalion to run forward and relieve the siege of the mountain artillery battalion.

The 340th and 341st Regiments also encountered the enemy and were captured during the battle. The 342nd Regiment captured more than 400 enemies, making it the regiment with the largest number of captured enemies in the early days of entering the DPRK.

The volunteers entered the Korean battlefield, and the fastest defeat was the Li Puppet Army. The Li Puppet Army's combat capability itself was very weak, which was tested in the early days of the Korean War.

The volunteers are all experienced in many battles and have experienced countless large and small wars. They are naturally able to defeat the Li puppet army.
