The beacon of youth

In order to complete their task, the squad had no choice but to give up the prisoners. There may be gains and losses in doing so, but there is really no other way for the time being. The position is pitch black, and prisoners run away from time to time when no one is guarding them.

The beachhead of the Linjin River was not small in depth. In the area broken by the [-]th Division, the defending United Nations Army had at least one regiment. Excluding those who were killed, it would not be a problem to capture another thousand or two thousand prisoners, but one by one The [-]th Division and the [-]th Regiment and other units ignored these crying prisoners because they wanted to move forward quickly. The hard-hearted Li Yong and the squad also ignored them, and the entire position became unguarded.

In fact, this is not something to be done. Li Yong also wants to get all these captives back, so as to have more bargaining chips for future negotiations, but Li Yong is the deputy minister in charge of logistics of the Volunteer Army. His family knows his own affairs, and sometimes he is not. The Volunteer Army doesn't want prisoners, but they really can't afford them. The Volunteer Army can't even provide for their own food, let alone those prisoners. A large number of prisoners who only eat and don't work hard are really a big burden, so that the Volunteer Army headquarters adopts a distribution system for the prisoners. The principle of batch release.

It may also be a strange thing in the history of world wars that the captives were released in batches while the battle was still in progress.

There is a conflict here. There are few captives in hand, and they will suffer in the future when negotiating. However, a large number of captives cannot afford to support them now. If there is no other way, they can only be released in batches, not to mention Li Yong. Even the heads of the headquarters are very depressed, saying that it is a logistics problem, and the logistics restrict the volunteers too much.

Sometimes Li Yong's head is full of wild thoughts, you can just talk about the South Korean army.There are all kinds of people in a mess, and it has been more than a year before and after the war.The army has expanded from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the Syngman Rhee Group does not care whether it is good or bad.As long as they are men of the right age, they must go to the army, and many workers, farmers, and petty citizens who have not been trained for a few days have all been recruited into the army.

According to the logistics capabilities of the Volunteer Army at that time, these hundreds of thousands of South Korean troops did not need to fight. As long as they surrendered to the Volunteer Army together, they might win without a fight. Deputy Commander Hong and Deputy Minister Li Yong of the Volunteer Army had to hang themselves first, because Just eating and dressing can overwhelm the volunteer army, hehe, that is really a big joke.

Li Yong shook his head, unable to think about these messy things for the time being.Just thinking about it makes his head big, he and his team are rushing through the mountains and forests, and now they have to consider the issue of combat.

A small team of more than 200 people, wearing cold clothes and carrying all the weapons and ammunition on their backs, marched quickly under the night.

Submachine guns, grenades, loaded magazines, explosive kits, kettles, first aid kits, dry food, backpacks, etc. must be carried by the soldiers themselves. This is the basic equipment of light infantry, heavy machine gun squads and small artillery squads. The soldiers of the army are even more burdened.

Heavy machine guns and small cannons are the most important weapons of the squad, and they are counted on to be used in battle, but the weight of these weapons is really a heavy burden.In the past, when we were in the Independent Brigade, the troops basically marched in by car and motorized, but now it is no longer possible. It is really difficult to walk through the mountains of North Korea on foot without a considerable physical foundation.

Water-cooled Maxim.The weight of an empty gun has reached [-] kilograms, and in addition to carrying a large amount of ammunition, the lightest weight of each soldier in the machine gun squad is tens of kilograms.The artillery squad was even more uncomfortable. The twenty or so soldiers not only had to carry their small cannons on their shoulders but also carried as many shells as possible.The reason is simple, a small cannon without shells is not as good as a grenade in the hands of infantry.

Tens of kilograms of load.The drenched cotton clothes, the pitch-black mountain road, the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero, and the enemy situation that may appear at any time are the current situation that the team is facing.

Fortunately, Li Yong was well prepared for all this. The physical training of the Independent Brigade has always been the most rigorous subject. No matter what unit, male or female soldiers must meet the standards, in order to cope with the current extreme situation. The soldiers who came up to North Korea were all the best in physical fitness in the whole brigade, and there was no situation where they fell behind and couldn't run.

Like the soldiers, Li Yong carried a Tom-type submachine gun on his back besides his self-defense pistol, and always hung two grenades around his neck. Li Yong did not regard himself as the commander of the independent brigade now, nor Thinking of himself as the deputy head of some kind of volunteer army, he positioned himself as the captain of a small unit, and his rank was equivalent to that of a company commander of a strengthened company.

Most of the squad of more than 200 people carried two guys with one long and one short, and the only instructor who was not equipped with long weapons was Li Jia.

The drenched cotton clothes are really uncomfortable. Not only is it terribly cold, but also frozen like a stone by the severe cold temperature. When walking, it restricts the movement of the joints of the legs and feet and makes a squeaking sound, which is very annoying.

Everyone wants to wear dry clothes and go on the road, Li Yong also thinks, but there is really no way, even if the small team wants to learn from the [-] regiment to pick up the enemy's clothes, it will be useless, because all the prisoners have already been picked up by the [-] regiment. When I arrived at the team, I didn't even have a mouthful of soup.

In the end, there were only a dozen or so captives of the Eighth Division of the Republic of Korea who were afraid of death, but the clothes on their bodies were not enough, and they were not enough to equip a squad. No, it's considered a fulfillment of the dozen or so guys who didn't fire a single shot.

If Li Yuming hadn't brought someone to get a recoilless gun, everyone would have been busy for nothing.

Now this recoilless gun is on Li Yuming's shoulders. It stands to reason that this recoilless gun should be handed over to the soldiers of the artillery squad, but the burden of the artillery squad is too heavy. As the commander of the company, Li Yuming Take the initiative to take on this responsibility.

This cannon is not the only good thing to say, the deputy company commander He Cuihua also got something to gain. She took away a pot of beef and a few bottles of wine from the bunker, and said that it was a waste for them to be eaten by Korean prisoners. She should serve the people as much as possible. As for who the people she is talking about, the soldiers are clear about it.

The person He Cuihua dreams of is of course Li Yong, this girl is not afraid of others' comments, what's wrong?Why is our brigade commander not a people?Since the brigade commander is also the people, what's wrong with my concern?

Who dares to say that Deputy Company Commander He is wrong, no one dares.

The roads in the mountains are very difficult to walk, or there are no roads at all. In addition to the darkness, although there is moonlight, the line of sight is only more than ten meters away. Fortunately, the team has a map, a compass, and a People's Army Jin Yingzi, a female soldier, did not let the troops lose their way.

The team has already entered the enemy-occupied area, and the distance they penetrate is getting farther and farther. There is a thick layer of snow on the ground, and the trees beside them are covered with shiny icicles. The mist, inhaled in one gulp, is so cold that it reaches the heart and lungs, and the whole body is about to freeze.

An hour passed, and two hours passed, and the movements of the troops gradually slowed down. This was a manifestation of the exhaustion of the soldiers' physical strength. Marching in the snow was not easy in the first place, not to mention the heavy load on the body.

According to the team's marching speed, Li Yong estimated that he had traveled at least a dozen kilometers, but it was still far away from the destination of this trip. The distance marked on the map was more than [-] kilometers, but that was only the distance on the map. The distance is the distance calculated with the triangle board and red and blue pencils, which is too far from the distance felt by the actual march.

The marching team was stretched, especially the artillery squad and the heavy machine gun squad were pulled at the end. The first row was long with three bulls, the second row was long with small successes, and the third row was long with Ning Erzi. They all kept encouraging everyone in the team. Instructor Li Jia is the most high-end talent in the whole brigade. He usually doesn't talk much, but he also stood up at this time:

"Comrades, it's nothing special. Our People's Liberation Army trains with a pair of iron feet. We win battles with our feet. In the Northwest, the hundreds of thousands of regular troops of the Kuomintang have been dragged to death by us. This difficulty scares us." If you don’t defeat us, work harder, and you will be victorious if you arrive at Yizheng.”

Li Jia was captured by Li Yong and the soldiers. He was a captain officer of the 36th Division reorganized by the Kuomintang, but now Li Jia is already an authentic soldier of the People's Liberation Army.

Li Yong vaguely saw that Li Jia, the only instructor without a long weapon, was carrying two mortar shells on her back, which were carried by the soldiers of the artillery squad. This girl has been tempered into steel.

Without any extra words, Li Yong came to a row of senior Sanniu and asked in a low voice: "Sanniu, how are you doing, can you resist?"

Sanniu was seriously injured in the Battle of Yulin, his lungs were pierced by bullets, and he almost couldn't survive. Later, Hu Xiaolian, the health captain, and others tried everything possible to save his life. Long-distance marches require vital capacity. Li Yong was afraid San Niu, who had been injured, couldn't stand it.

San Niu chuckled: "Brigade Commander, when did we bother you, isn't it just a mountain road of tens of kilometers, it's okay.

He said it was fine, but San Niu couldn't help coughing a few times. Li Yong couldn't help but took the submachine gun from San Niu's shoulder and carried it on his body.

Let the brigade commander carry the gun for himself?Isn't this nonsense, Sanniu grabbed the submachine gun and didn't let go, and said that our People's Liberation Army troops have never had such rules, and he can't lose this person.

"Don't be a fucking bastard, what brigade commander is not a brigade commander, do you think I still look like a brigade commander now? How many people are there in total? Let me tell you San Niu, I am now the first company commander, just like us when we first started It's the same as when the spy company was formed, understand?"

Li Yuming, who was carrying the cannon barrel, came over at some point, and said with a big face: "Yes, I also think that it is similar to when we first established a special agent company. The brigade commander was the company commander at that time. Hehe, yes Alright, Brigadier, what is the [-]th Parallel, can you see it?"

This chapter is a transitional chapter, and the next chapter will start the battle. Thank you for your support, the old guys, the rewards, monthly tickets, and recommended tickets. (To be continued..)
