The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 810: Skirmishing Attack

When the Li Puppet Army encountered the Volunteer Army, how could they be their opponents? The troops were on the verge of collapse, and the defeated troops were already scattered among the mountains and fields.

On the contrary, it brought a lot of trouble to the Volunteer Army. The Volunteer Army's field hospital was located in the mountains and fields, and was often surrounded by enemy troops. On December 3, the first field hospital started medical rescue work after settling in Luxiadong, north of Huaping Station.

It was just dawn, and the comrades in the operating room were already exhausted. Since entering the DPRK, seriously injured people have been sent to the field hospital in the rear.

Some comrades were packing their equipment. When they were going up the mountain to clear their air, a comrade from the 114th Division came in with an abdominal injury and needed to be dealt with promptly.

The lightly wounded patients and other staff in the field hospital were all discharged. In order to treat the wounded in time, the comrades in the operating room made an exception and performed operations during the day at the risk of being bombed by enemy planes.

Comrade Wang Jun, deputy chief of the Medical Affairs Department and a military doctor, opened the abdominal cavity of the wounded man and found that the intestinal tube had a foundation wall. After the intestinal tube was repaired, he began to suture the wound.

At this moment, the dull sound of pistols and grenades exploding suddenly came from outside the operating room, followed by a bang bang bang knocking sound. Comrade Wang Jun quickly looked over and saw that it was the deputy director who slapped the window loudly, " Hurry! The enemy is coming!"

The atmosphere in the operating room became tense instantly. They had no weapons or ammunition, only a carbine.

Comrade Wang was very calm, "Why are you panicking? You guys are watching here, I'll go take a look."

He picked up the carbine without even taking off his surgical gown. He walked outside and saw several puppet soldiers walking towards them, less than a hundred meters away. Their military uniforms were particularly conspicuous.

Seeing the enemy, Comrade Wang picked up his carbine and pointed it at the enemy. Only one enemy was knocked down, and the defeated enemy rolled twice on the ground and began to crawl back.

Comrade Wang suddenly became anxious. He was not proficient in mastering the American carbine and was afraid of the enemy's counterattack. At this critical moment, the lightly wounded soldiers who were preparing for prevention and control on the southeast slope came back and shouted: "Send the gun and don't kill." !”

This group of Li puppet troops were themselves defeated troops, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Seeing this scene, they were so frightened that they ran away.

Suddenly, another group of old Korean guns in white clothes rushed out from a distance, holding sticks, kitchen knives, and axes to block the flanks of the defeated soldiers. They shouted: "Tu Xing Haming."

It means surrender without killing.

This group of enemies were like frightened birds. They turned around and fired without aiming. The bullets hit the sky, which happened to be an advantage for the field station's stretcher-bearing team. Except for killing five or six Li puppet troops, none of them missed the target. .

Just as they were counting the loot, dozens of Korean fellows poured out from the northeastern ravines, each carrying a piece of loot and escorting three prisoners. It turned out that these Korean fellows were hiding from soldiers in the gold mine cave at the end of the ravine. When they heard the gunfire and the roar of the volunteers, they resolutely ran out to support and eliminated the group of stragglers.

It is precisely because of the help of these Korean people that the determination of the volunteer soldiers to continue fighting U.S. imperialism has been strengthened.

The field hospital was harassed by Li Puppet Army's skirmishers, and the logistics transport troops were also harassed by Li Puppet Army's skirmishers.

Fortunately, the protection provided by the logistics team is much stronger than that of the hospital.

The logistics transport trucks of the 114th Division were attacked by a group of Li puppet troops. Fortunately, the logistics transport trucks stopped transporting supplies and switched to transporting Korean people and lightly wounded people.

This group of Li puppet soldiers didn't know what was going on. They thought the cart was filled with food, so they rushed up and picked up the guy to do it.

Who would have thought that a carload of people got out of the car and killed five soldiers of the Li Puppet Army and captured a dozen more.

This made the military realize that if the enemy troops scattered in the mountains and fields are not properly handled during the advance, it will cause inevitable trouble to some comrades in the rear, especially their field hospitals. There are many wounded, and once discovered by the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, the military headquarters issued a new order, requiring all ministries to not let go of any escaping enemy in the process of clearing out the enemy. The surrounding area must be carefully cleaned to avoid as much as possible the appearance of fish that slip through the net.

From then on, the number of Li Puppet Army's defeated troops who fled to the rear became much smaller.

The volunteers aggressively pressed on the enemy's defense line, planning to drive the enemy back to the 38th line in one fell swoop.

In a remote ravine, there are five figures hiding among the piles of rocks.

Halfway up the mountain, a US military patrol was searching the mountain. They walked along the white snow on the ridge, complaining as they walked.

"This damn weather in North Korea, we just came here and it started snowing. It's so cold. I kind of miss my hot coffee."

"I really don't know why sir let us come to this backward place to suffer."

"Damn, my shoes are soaked, I'm going to make a fire tonight and dry them out."

"Okay, stop complaining. At least we are still alive. I heard that many people died in the First Cavalry Division."

"Damn it, I want to go home."

In the ravine, behind the rocks that they could not see, Xia Yuan pressed his hat brim and stared at the American troops on the mountain. "A platoon, don't move yet. This is the American reconnaissance team, and behind them are the American troops."

Originally, their plan was to follow this US military force, but they did not expect that this US military force stopped and stopped, camped in an abandoned town, and stopped.

They hid in the ravine behind the Americans.

Unexpectedly, the American devils were cautious and sent a reconnaissance team to conduct a simple survey of the ravines near their stationed area.

Looking at the American patrol that was getting further away, Xiao Heping suddenly found that his back was soaked with cold sweat and his hands were holding tightly.

"I'm nervous." Old Liu patted Xiao Heping on the shoulder and told him to relax: "We are safe if we are not discovered."

"Squad leader, I'm fine." Xiao Heping's face turned pale and he took a deep breath to relieve the tension in his body.

"Learn more from Xia Yuan. He is younger than you and has not been in the army as long as you. Look at him, he is now able to stand on his own." The elder Liu scolded with a smile, with a tone of resentment that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

He has been in the army for a short period of time. It is somewhat unreasonable to see a talented young man like Xia Yuan.

"Squad leader, what should I compare with Xia Yuan?" Xiao Heping smiled bitterly. Along the way, Xia Yuan gave them a big shock. He carried the elder Liu on his back all the way through mountains and rivers, and his physical strength was far beyond ordinary people.

In addition, Da Lao Liu also told them another extremely shocking thing.

Xia Yuan used a gun to knock out several machine gun bunkers of the Li Puppet Army one after another, which brought great help to the company's attack and successfully broke through the enemy's high ground. He was a great hero.

When they fell behind, the company commander and instructor were still discussing the matter of appraising Xia Yuan's merit.

A proper fighting hero.

When Xia Yuan came, he thought he could get rid of his position as the youngest, but what he didn't expect was a golden nugget that shone brighter and brighter.

"Don't be discouraged. The instructor often tells us that we should keep up with the outstanding warriors. If we can't compare with them, then we should learn more. Xia Yuan has many shining points and there is a lot worth learning from."

Liu said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of being hit, just be afraid that you won't be able to stand up if you are hit."

Xia Yuan turned his head and showed a bright smile: "The squad leader is right. If you chase me, you won't be able to catch up. But if you follow me, I can teach you the skills to beat the little devils."

The elder Liu knew that Xia Yuan had hunted before and had rich hunting experience. These barren mountains and ridges were a natural hunting ground for Xia Yuan.

"It's just right. You two team up and take care of each other during the night operation." During the night operation, they discussed to investigate the enemy's situation and see if they could catch a tongue. If they could catch a tongue, ask Once the route is clear, they can return to the team.

Old Liu was worried, "When operating at night, you must be quick, accurate and ruthless. If the enemy discovers you, retreat immediately. Don't hesitate, your life is at stake."

"Squad leader, don't worry, I will be careful. The American devils don't believe that we will come to North Korea. The more they think so, the safer we will be and the more relaxed we will be at night."

Xia Yuan put away his gun and put down his guard. He knew the American soldiers quite well, especially their camp habits. The barracks were on the periphery and important things were in the center.

This is also the usual garrisoning habit of the US military, and it is also the ring defense formation that will cause the Ninth Corps quite a headache in the future.

Of course, he could sneak in quietly by himself, and the US military would not notice him.

Entering the US military station, Xia Yuan was already familiar with the journey.

"The more this happens, the less we can take it lightly. When it's time to be cautious, we must not let down our guard."

Old Liu warned him worriedly.

This kind of thing is very dangerous, and he doesn't want to let Xia Yuan go there.

"Squad leader, don't worry. We don't know much about this US military. If we can tell the military department about this US military's information, location and strength, we can avoid many casualties."

Xia Yuan's eyes were firm, with unyielding will.

The elder Liu was convinced by him that if he could really sacrifice a few people in exchange for huge information, it would be very worthwhile.

"Okay, but you must be careful. If there is a risk of exposure, evacuate immediately." Old Liu was still worried. Xia Yuan was a new recruit and had only joined the army not long ago, but he had to admit that his marksmanship was very good. His ability to throw bombs is very strong, and what's even more terrifying is his physical strength.

Carrying him across mountains and rivers, there was little time to rest.

Because of this, he wanted to give Xia Yuan a chance to act alone.

"Squad leader." Zhou Mao felt a little itchy when he heard that both of them were going.

"You have to stay, and we will take turns keeping vigil." Old Liu said.

"Squad Leader Liu, let him go. I will take turns keeping watch with you." Interpreter Zhao interrupted and said.

"How can this work?" Liu immediately shook his head and disagreed: "You are the treasure of our company. The instructor told me to take good care of you. If something goes wrong, how will I explain to the instructor."

"But."

Translator Zhao also wanted to say something, but Old Man Liu shot back, "That's it, Translator Zhao, I am the squad leader, and I will give orders."

The sun sets and the night falls.

In the cracks between the rocks, there are shacks built with grass and trees, covered with a layer of snow.

The shack was covered with a layer of leaves and quilts. Elder Liu held his broken leg, his face was pale, he sat down on the ground and exhaled heavily: "I will be dragged to death by this leg."

"Squad leader, don't say that." Zhou Mao spread out the quilt and motioned for the elder Liu to lie down.

"This leg is considered useless. It's me who has dragged you down. If it weren't for Xia Yuan, I don't think we would be able to walk this far."

After taking some time off, Old Liu felt more and more guilty.

Without him, Xia Yuan might have led them out long ago.

"What did you say, Squad Leader Liu? You should take good care of your injuries now." Translator Zhao called Zhou Mao out and said, "Zhou Mao, I feel that Squad Leader Liu's condition is not very good. Don't let Squad Leader Liu keep watch tonight. You Wake me up."

"How can this be done!"

"Shh, this is what Xia Yuan asked me to do." Translator Zhao glanced at the shack and lowered his voice: "Squad Leader Liu is a veteran soldier with a high level of ideological consciousness. If he can't see hope, I'm afraid he will do something to avoid dragging you down. Stupid thing."

Zhou Mao felt nervous and looked back, "Probably not."

Translator Zhao stared: "Why not? In the past, the Red Army climbed snowy mountains and crossed grasslands. In order not to drag down the soldiers, many comrades gave up voluntarily."

"Hey, I'll listen to you then." Zhou Mao no longer struggled with this issue.

"Well, just call me tonight and we'll take care of Squad Leader Liu." Translator Zhao took a deep breath and got into the shack to sleep.

"Translator Zhao, please have something to eat." Old Liu took out the hot fried noodles and a military kettle from his arms and handed them to Translator Zhao.

"Squad leader Liu, you eat first, I'm not hungry." Translator Zhao looked at the pale face of the elder Liu, and his heart tightened, and he shook his head: "Xia Yuan said, you need nutrition now."

"What he said doesn't count. The injury is on me. I don't know if I tell you to eat it. You can eat it." Old Liu stuffed something into him, lay down quietly, and said with a smile: "I don't like you scholars." , Mother-in-law, when the instructor first came here, he was just like you, but later his temper was tempered and his temper was sharpened. Mother-in-law's character is not good in the army. "

Translator Zhao listened quietly.

"However, we old men are only suitable to go to the front line. We still need educated people like you to build the motherland." Old Liu put his hands behind his head and said, "It's really hard for you to come to the front line."

"It's not bitter, so it doesn't matter." Translator Zhao shook his head and smiled, "I have farmed before."

"Have you ever farmed?" Old Liu was a little surprised. As soon as they chatted, he wanted to touch dry tobacco, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Zhou Mao stuck his head out from outside: "Squad leader, Xia Yuan said that your injury is not healed yet, so you can't smoke. I'll collect the cigarettes I gave you first."

"You brat." Old Liu scolded with a smile: "I didn't expect that one day I would be under your control."

"Squad Leader Liu, the soldiers are thinking about your health." Translator Zhao said from the side.

"Hey, I don't know what happened to those two boys!"

"Are you worried about them?"

"Isn't it?"

"Then why did you agree to let them go on a mission?"

"Xia Yuan, that brat, knows how to talk, and what he says makes sense. If we can find out the details of this US military force, we can reduce a lot of casualties. Even if it costs my life and Zhou Wazi's life, it's worth it. "
