The beacon of youth

For the M46 that was not destroyed, Li Yuming, the instructor of the former Independent Brigade Tank Battalion, two soldiers, and Bill with yellow hair and blue eyes formed a temporary tank team.

They had to complete the work of familiarizing themselves with the new tank within the specified time and form the most basic combat capability. Li Yong's order to them was to be as familiar with this tank as a woman who is familiar with herself, which is almost impossible.

As familiar with the tank as a woman who knows herself?As the leader of the car, Li Yuming was very entangled, not because he had never had a woman, had never eaten fat pork, or seen a fat pig run, but because he didn't know how to communicate with Bill, an Englishman.

The old tradition of the People's Liberation Army is to use every opportunity to do political and ideological work for the new liberation fighters, so that they can integrate into the big family of the People's Liberation Army as soon as possible. Facts have also proved that this method of the People's Liberation Army is very effective, but Li Yuming This young old soldier encountered new problems in North Korea, how to do ideological work for Bill, a purebred Englishman?

Talk about the three major disciplines and eight points of attention?Talk about beating the local tyrants and dividing the land?Talk about the glorious history of our army? Or talk about carrying water, chopping firewood and sweeping yards for ordinary people?It seems that nothing is right, this difficulty is not ordinary.

How the hell do you teach Brits a lesson?For this question, Li Yuming also specifically asked his chief Li Yong for advice.

But the answer given by Chief Li Da is, you boy is the instructor of our tank battalion, and what you eat is to do ideological work for others. Do professionals still need to ask others? They want to go by themselves.

In fact, this was just Li Yong's evasion, because he didn't know how to teach the British captives, and he knew English.But I was so busy as the chief, I couldn't follow a prisoner's butt every day and give him some lessons.Then we can't be the translator of the captives, so we have to kick the difficulty to Li Yuming again.

There are advantages to being a chief.If you don’t understand, you don’t need to talk about it, and you can use all kinds of messy reasons to educate your subordinates. Li Yuming had no choice but to take Bill and two soldiers to tinker with his precious tank. Li Yuming knew that the brigade commander didn’t say anything but I must be very anxious in my heart, and it is urgent to turn the captured equipment into combat effectiveness.

The 40-ton M46 Patton is the latest equipment, with thick armor and sufficient firepower. It is much stronger than the best M4 Sherman he has used before. They need to get familiar with every part in the car as soon as possible.Every shell, every machine gun bullet has to be figured out. Who knows when the brigade commander will let them go out to fight.

Li Yuming left with a few people, and it was almost dawn. Fortunately, almost all the supplies and ammunition were put into two large tunnels. Several hours of high-intensity work made people almost collapse. Even the less than one hundred British captives complained bitterly.

Finally, he was not afraid of the planes of the United Nations Army, so Li Yong asked the squad to be on guard.Then most of the people rested on the spot to recover their strength.

After giving the order, all the people sat down, some were sitting, some were lying down, they were all exhausted anyway.Li Yong himself was tired enough, so he asked He Cuihua to inform the soldiers of the squad to eat immediately after an hour's rest, because anything could happen on the battlefield.If there is no food in the stomach, there will be no strength in the body.

The sky in the distance slowly turned white, and the fog gradually dissipated.The line of sight gradually became clearer, and the Yi-Government-Government covered by ice and snow was silvery white.

This is a world covered in snow and ice.The scenery seen in the telescope is all beautiful, mountains and rivers, glaciers, and endless silver tree hangings.

Disharmonious with the distant scenery is yesterday's battlefield.

The black, burnt, hard human organs that were blown to pieces and then frozen became a pool of iron and steel cars and tanks, all of which showed the unusualness of this place. Only then did people realize how fierce the battle last night was, and the broken Cars, tanks, discarded weapons, and that - corpses.

More than 300 people were killed in a full-staffed British battalion. Although the soldiers cleaned up some of the corpses after the battle, because they had to focus on transporting supplies and it was dark, it was impossible to clean up the battlefield environment too clean. , The battlefield after dawn looked shocking.

Death in war is different from normal birth, old age, sickness and death. Seeing people who were alive and kicking a day ago suddenly turn into messy pieces of meat and die, anyone will feel sad and unable to repeat it in words.

Charles, who was appointed as the team's military adviser, has been with Li Yong. The corpses of his compatriots all over the ground made the young captain feel sad, because he knew most of the dead.

Li Yong knew what was going on in his heart. Fortunately, Chief Li was fluent in English. Li Yong told Charles that war is cruel. In such an environment, no one can tell whether he can survive. You will be like them, if you British don’t stay in your own country and fight a foolish war with North Korea, which is far away from the east, you will die in vain. What is the master thinking in his heart, is it because he wants to please the United States?Coming to North Korea to fight is not like you are fighting against fascist Germany, it is a just war.

Charles expressed his understanding of Li Yong's point of view, not because he was a prisoner, but because he really couldn't understand why a battalion of them was transferred from Hong Kong to North Korea, Hong Kong-what a beautiful place it is.

The team had breakfast. Because of the abundance of supplies, the soldiers had a very rich meal. Stewed beef and potatoes, as well as other things that the soldiers thought were edible, were all thrown into the marching pot, but everyone wanted to eat at this time The mood is not in a hurry anymore.

The soldiers are too sleepy and tired. Since crossing the Linjin River yesterday afternoon, everyone has not closed their eyes even for a minute. All the time was spent fighting and marching. Later, they destroyed the enemy's large supply point in one go. It was supposed to be able to rest for a while, but the intense work of transporting supplies exhausted the last bit of strength in the body.

Li Yong looked at his watch. At 06:30 in the morning, a large part of the soldiers who had eaten a few mouthfuls fell asleep lying on the ground, snoring one after another.

Morning is the coldest time of the day, when the temperature drops to tens of degrees below zero, and camping in the open air is prone to accidents, but the soldiers are so tired, some fall asleep when they fall down, and they cannot wake up no matter how much others shout. The army is too tired, just like the old saying in the People's Liberation Army, the greatest enjoyment in life is to sleep down, even half an hour of sleep will be of great use at critical times.

Li Yong also didn't want to wake up the soldiers, but now is really not the time to sleep, not only because of the cold, the sky is about to dawn, and the United Nations Army's planes should be preparing at the airport and the aircraft carrier at this time. Judging from the geographical location, it will take another hour to reach the sky over Yi-zheng-fu.

"Get up, get up, everyone goes to sleep in the cave, if we can't find a cave, we will find a tunnel, anyway, there are plenty of roads and railways in this area, I don't believe you can't even find a cave, you guys get up quickly, do you want me to Kick it with your feet." Deputy company commander He Cuihua was looking for trouble everywhere.

Although He Cuihua puts her mind on Li Yong all day long, this does not negate her ability. He Cuihua is an excellent military commander in the Independent Brigade. When Li Yong gave the order, he asked the troops not to sleep any more. No matter how sleepy they were, they had to persevere. Even if they wanted to sleep, they had to find caves and tunnels to sleep.

Deputy Company Commander He was quite powerful in the squad. The soldiers in several platoons, including their platoon leader San Niu and Xiao Cheng, were kicked and scolded by He Cuihua.

The soldiers walked crookedly, looking for hiding places under the leadership of their squad leader. This was due to too much physical exertion. However, Li Yong was not worried. According to the physical reserves of the soldiers, they could recover after sleeping Almost recovered.

Li Yong was still thinking about one thing, he was thinking about the Yankee M46 Button.

The real good thing, power, firepower, and protection were all second to none at the time. It was not easy to capture one. Li Yong and the soldiers of the squad also got one by accident. The plane of the United Nations Army was reimbursed for the bomb. Thinking of this, Li Yong ignored the pain in his body, patted his buttocks and walked towards the position of Li Yuming and the tank.

"Li Yuming, what's going on? Hurry up and hide, the United Nations Army's plane is coming soon."

Li Yuming jumped out of the tank with a smile: "Brigadier, take a look at this track. It's different from what we used before. No wonder the British didn't understand it when they drove it and twisted their buttocks."

Li Yong, Li Yuming, and the British Bill, all of them attached their lower bodies to look at the track of the m46. They really saw the problem. Others may not know it, but Li Yong knows it well. If you don't even understand it, then it's not Li Yong. This m46 is clearly equipped with rubber tracks.

"Brigadier, I don't understand why the Yankees use such tank tracks and walk like an old woman with little feet."

Li Yong fully understood why the maneuverability of these m46 tanks was so poor last night. It was not because the British didn't want to dodge the recoilless shells, but because they couldn't dodge them. The reason was on the tracks.

There are many advantages of hanging rubber tracks, but the only disadvantage is that it is not suitable for walking on snow-covered roads, and the adhesion is too poor. Coincidentally, the three battles were fought in winter, and the roads around Yi-zheng-fu were due to severe cold. A large amount of ice was released again, making these latest tanks useless.
