Chapter 25 China will send congratulations from all directions!
After the battle, Mei Sheng found Ji Chungeng and gave a military salute, "We still have to carry out special tasks, so we will bring some bullets and guns for you. We will take ten of the US military coats and leave the rest with you."
"
They did not suffer many casualties in this battle. After all, the soldiers of the intervening company were all veterans with rich experience in positional warfare, and only a few were injured. On the contrary, the main force of the brother company suffered heavy casualties, with a loss of 70% in one night's battle.
There were only about thirty people left, each with bright red bandages on their bodies.
"Thank you, Director Mei." Ji Chungeng's dark face moved and he saluted in response.
Xia Yuan groped for the body of an American soldier, and happily found a half-bitten piece of chocolate from his body.
Wu Wanli tilted his head: "Brother Yuan, what is this?"
Xia Yuan broke off half of it with his hands, placed it on Wu Wanli's palm wrapped with a cloth strip, and motioned for him to taste it.
Wu Wanli put it in his mouth and took a bite. It melted in his mouth, with a hint of sweetness, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Xia Yuan stuffed the remaining half piece into his arms, "This thing is called chocolate. It's like sugar. It tastes bitter but tastes sweet."
He asked again: "Is it delicious?"
"tasty!"
Wu Wanli grinned, stood up and ran away: "Brother Yuan, I'll give it to my brother to try."
Xia Yuan smiled, touched the bullet bag, glanced at the smoky battlefield, stood up and continued to touch the body. After a while, he touched seven or eight candies, more than three hundred rounds of 7.62 bullets, and loaded three bullets.
The bag was hung on the body, and the clothes on the body were replaced by the enemy's bulletproof vest and cotton clothes, and the volunteer soldier's military uniform was worn outside.
After a night of fighting, the clothes on his body were ignited by fire and made irregular holes, exposing the black cotton.
Stuff it into your trouser legs and collar until it becomes bulging.
I didn't know that the cotton boots before were bombarded by the enemy and I couldn't find them. I had to take off the enemy's cotton boots first, put on the enemy's cotton socks, put them on my feet that were red and swollen from the cold, stood up and kicked them, but it didn't affect me.
Just take action.
Then Xia Yuan touched some more grenades and put them on his body. He carried dozens of kilograms of stuff on his back like a normal person and even tried to jump.
The four-dimensional attributes of the body are different from ordinary people, especially in terms of physical fitness. After a night of fighting, his skills of calmness and aiming have been greatly improved, which laid the foundation for Xia Yuan to become a legendary sniper in the future.
Xia Yuan, carrying a gun on his back, began to clean the battlefield. Many guns had been damaged and deformed by the gunfire and could not be used, but the bullets were still usable.
He replaced the US military's M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, commonly known as the Big Eight. Because it is a movie plot, and the company of Wu Qianli does not have so many rules, the relationship between the soldiers is like brothers, not to mention that he has also experienced
Knowing Xia Yuan's talent, he might even surpass Pinghe in the future, so he asked Xia Yuan to keep the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle.
The winding is strong.
This can prevent sand from entering the gun body and causing jamming. After doing all this, Xia Yuan placed other guns in the captured trophies area. There were various guns and ammunition piled on the ground, as well as some canned food, and the quantity was not large.
Wu Qianli and Ji Chungeng from the Band of Brothers are discussing how to divide the spoils.
"Captain Ji, your company has suffered too many casualties. Just take away these guns and ammunition. We will only keep some of them. We will only take four cans and leave them for the wounded."
"Thank you very much, Captain Wu." Ji Chungeng looked at the injured soldiers one by one, and his eyes suddenly turned red. In order to take down these hills, there were only about 30 people left among the more than 200 people. If it weren't for Wu Qianli, they would have
Even the serial number is gone.
Wu Qianli patted the man on the shoulder and sighed in his heart. He had just entered the court, and the next battle would probably be more difficult.
Xia Yuan saw Ping He sitting on the tank, using an awl to carve his name, the word "平", on the bullet shell.
"I heard from the company commander that you fought very well last night. It's your first time on the battlefield. There are very few people who can do this like you. It's not bad." Pinghe looked up and saw that it was Xia Yuan, and he took the initiative to say hello.
"Thanks to the experience you taught me, I killed fourteen American devils last night."
Xia Yuan grinned, climbed onto the tank, and looked at the bullet shell. The small bullet shell was engraved with the word "flat".
Pinghe put away the bullet case, hung it around his neck, and explained: "This bullet case has followed me to fight the Japanese and the reactionaries. Every time I kill five Japanese, I will engrave the character "平" on the bullet case. I don't know why.
I have already carved so much."
Xia Yuan sat on the tank and looked at the smoke-filled battlefield. "I really hope the war can end so we don't have to kill people anymore."
Pinghe raised his head and looked at the rising sun, which was like a new star. He said in a calm voice and squinted his eyes: "I hope the next generation will live in an era that is no longer full of smoke."
Xia Yuan followed the peaceful gaze, squinted, nodded heavily, and said in a firm tone: "Yes, the life of the next generation will get better and better. People can eat, have enough to eat, and have meat for every meal. During the Chinese New Year,
Firecrackers are set off, new clothes are worn, and people always have happy smiles on their faces. Oh, by the way, China will become more and more prosperous and powerful, and we also have our own aircraft, missiles, and atomic bombs. China will bring congratulations from all directions!"
Pinghe turned his head and looked at Xia Yuan's face blackened by gunfire, then turned his head and looked at the reborn sun with longing in his heart.
It was already dawn, and they could not stay here for too long. The communication tower was bombed, and the US military planes were probably already on the way, so the Seventh Company and the Sixth Company did not do much rest and recuperation, and there was no time to feel sad for the sacrificed soldiers.
With the spoils of war, everyone will continue on the journey. During this period, Wu Qianli criticized Wu Wanli and Xia Yuan and asked them to write a review after they returned. After that, he took off a few military coats from the American soldiers and put them on the wounded.
On his body, the team continued to set off.
Not long after leaving, they heard the roar of US military aircraft, echoing in the valley.
In the mountain, everyone leaned against the cold rock mass, holding their guns and looking at the sky cautiously. The roar of the planes came from far away, then closer, and then gradually farther away. If there was a near miss, it was probably the US military who was going to the communication tower to check.
Fortunately, they have already left, but maybe they might be discovered by the US military.
The moment the roar of the US aircraft disappeared, all the soldiers of the Seventh Company breathed a sigh of relief. Once discovered by the US aircraft, they would be greeted by US aircraft chasing and bombing.
The deeper we go into North Korea, the colder the weather becomes, and snowflakes are already falling in the sky. This is the first time for many soldiers in this team from the south to see snow.
"Is it snowing?" The soldiers raised their heads, wrapped in dirty cloth, only showing a pair of eyes, and snowflakes fell on their faces, making them feel cold.
"What's so strange about this? It's so cold. Snow is not a good thing. Once the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, it will be difficult to walk." Some soldiers who had seen snow looked at the floating snowflakes, exhaled white mist, and rubbed their hands together.
He kept stamping his feet in an attempt to relieve the coldness on his body. He was still wearing Jiefang shoes, which were stuffed with cotton and weeds.
Last night's battle did not bring much change to the 7th Insert Company. Most of the equipment was left to the wounded soldiers of the Brothers, who needed this equipment more than the 7th Insert Company.
Xia Yuan looked at the surrounding mountains. They had been traveling for a day and a night. It was already afternoon and they were approaching the direction of Dayu Cave. It was estimated that it would not take long to reach the headquarters.
