Before Ma Daguo could speak, Li Mengqi continued: "That's right, I want to interview you today. Two days ago you damaged a US military plane. As the first comrade to fire on the enemy, what do you think?
.”
Ma Da was stunned, "What the hell, did it damage the enemy's plane? It's impossible. When I fired, the enemy's plane was already high and the bullets couldn't reach it. Even a small thing like shooting can actually reach you in the field.
Go to the hospital. I have nothing to interview. I am just a small platoon leader. If I want to interview you, go and interview our company commander. Our company commander is the great hero."
When Mr. Ma heard that it was to damage the US military plane, he couldn't admit it. When he fired the gun that night, he knew very well that when he fired, the American plane had already climbed high and the bullet could not reach it.
He flew away before the beating was over. Who knows if he was the one injured.
If he really hit the American plane, it would be a great achievement. Ma Da is not greedy for credit. He doesn't feel that he hit the American plane. If he admits it, he will get the reward of some comrade.
Gong, his ideological consciousness is very high.
This answer was a bit beyond Li Mengqi's expectations. She had thought that this comrade would tell more about the situation that night, but instead he gave this answer. Not to be outdone, she said, "Why are you like this, comrade? Just tell me."
Well, I came with a mission."
Ma Daguo waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey, I'm sorry, I also have a mission. Shooting at the enemy is really not a big deal. I can't report to our division. I just fired a gun. It's too small. It's too small.
.”
Li Mengqi continued: "Isn't the 538th Regiment taking a break now? Please support my work. Your writing about this will also boost everyone's morale."
When Ma Da heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "Comrade Xiao Li, don't you have any wounded in your field hospital to take care of? You have to come and interview for such a trivial matter as shooting? No, it's just a shooting, no.
As for."
Li Mengqi raised her head stubbornly and stared at Big Ma's face: "Big Ma! If you don't say anything today, I won't leave!"
When Ma Da heard this, he thought to himself that this girl has a pretty face, but she is not simple at all. It seems that she will not leave unless she is dealt with today.
When Ma Daguo was worried about how to send Li Mengqi away, a voice came back. It was the bugler of the first battalion shouting: "Everyone stand up and keep moving forward!"
For Ma Daguo, it was simply a life-saving straw. "Hey, Comrade Li, I'm so sorry. Our first battalion has to leave again. See you later."
After saying that, he stood up quickly and shouted: "Everyone in the second row, get up and keep moving forward!"
Then he left without looking back.
"Hey, hey."
Li Mengqi continued to shout in disappointment.
The big horse could run very fast on its two legs, and it slipped into the group and disappeared.
Li Mengqi did not complete the interview task, but Big Man Ma left a deep impression on her. He was not polite at all when he spoke. She was full of curiosity about this soldier who was a head taller than everyone else, especially when they shook hands just now.
, she could feel the calluses on her index finger, which were very hard and were left over from years of shooting.
The big man ran away and ran to the platoon, complaining to Xia Yuan: "Comrade Li is really incomprehensible. Even if he calls me a nickname, he wants to write this trivial matter of shooting in the newspaper."
, I will shoot at the enemy, but I don’t want to interview you like this."
Xia Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, "You, you don't know how lucky you are in the midst of blessings. How many soldiers want to be in the newspaper, but they can't. This is a very glorious thing."
Big Man Ma waved his hand: "I don't have that consciousness. Comrade Xiao Li said that I damaged the enemy's plane. When I fired last night, the American plane had already climbed up, and the bullet had not been hit long ago.
Where is it? How could it hit the enemy's plane? Maybe it was a soldier who hit it, but the credit fell on me."
He said: "I can't do this kind of thing where I just take credit from others for doing whatever I do."
Xia Yuan patted the big man. There was nothing much to say about this good brother's character. He just had a bad temper, but other than that, he had all good qualities.
"Okay, hurry up and hurry up. We've only been walking for two days and there's still a long way to go."
The 180th Division divided into three groups and headed for Yichuan County, the destination. The division headquarters and field hospital followed the 538th Regiment. On the way forward, after ten or twenty minutes, the sound of U.S. military aircraft would be heard in the sky.
Voice, the Volunteer Army lacks air superiority, and US military aircraft are as unscrupulous on the Volunteer Army's logistics route as if they are in uninhabited territory.
Listening to the roar of fighter planes echoing in the valley, Ma Da, who was lying on the ground, cursed: "Grandma, I just walked not far, and here I come again, and I can't let you go. I rely on my iron."
Birds are flying everywhere, but if I don't blow them up if they are on the ground, I won't be named Ma."
This iron bird flew everywhere in the sky and came every once in a while, which had a huge impact on their marching speed.
Boom!
Continuous roars came from the other side of the mountain. Xia Yuan raised his head, discerned the sound, and said, "This is coming from the 539th Regiment."
Ma Da said with a smile: "Ma Dan, the 539th Regiment must have been discovered. Marching in broad daylight, not only are there ink marks, but they are also easily seen by this iron bird."
Chen Lie said: "The best way is to march at night, which reduces our possibility of exposure."
Big Ma hugged Chen Lie and said, "Hey, big brother, you told the truth. Although I don't know what the captain and others think, we just need to obey the order."
Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said, "This can only explain one problem."
Ma asked: "What's the problem?"
Xia Yuandao: "Maybe the battle on the front line is tense, and we have to get to the front line as soon as possible."
During the fourth battle, the enemy general they faced was Li Qiwei. This guy was a good opponent. During the fourth battle, he had already gained insights into the combat patterns of the Volunteer Army. At the end of the Fourth Battle, the Volunteer Army began
When shrinking the defense line, the U.S. military turned from defense to offense and chased the volunteers. During the fifth battle, they almost reached Cheorwon. If the enemy reached Cheorwon, history might really be rewritten.
At this moment, the 180th Division is rushing day and night, most likely because it is currently in the tense stage of the Fourth Battle. The logistics supply line is blocked by enemy bombers. The volunteers on the front line are short of weapons, ammunition and food, and they urgently need to change defenses.
The US military planes have blocked our army's logistics supply route. They came out of Langtou Town and traveled day and night. They were destined to have a battle of wits and courage with the US military aircraft along the way.
It was no surprise that the 539th Regiment was discovered by the US military. The dull sound of explosions could be heard across the mountains. The soldiers of the 538th Regiment were still on their way. The 539th Regiment held back the US military plane for them.
This was a rare opportunity, but the process did not go smoothly. At sunset, they were also bombed by US bombers.
Bombs made sharp whistling sounds from the sky, blooming everywhere in the mountains and forests, and the explosions were deafening.
Obviously having the experience of being bombed by US military aircraft last time, the soldiers of the 538th Regiment seemed more calm this time. After hearing the roar of US military aircraft, they quickly dispersed in the mountains and forests, and then hid in hiding.
Even so, the US military plane still discovered them.
The explosion rolled up a large amount of soil. After blooming like a gorgeous flower, the US bombers swooped down immediately. The two 12.7mm M3 machine guns on the plane began to spit out tongues of fire. The long chain of fire was particularly dazzling in the daytime.
With a crackling sound, a huge crater was made on the ground they passed. Unfortunately, the four soldiers were shot by heavy machine guns, causing a large dance of blood.
The soldiers looked at this scene in shock. They saw that the bodies of the four soldiers were like floating embers, leaving a large patch of dazzling crimson on the ground.
The old man took off his hat with eyes wide open and shouted: "Damn it, before we even reached the front line and fought with the American devils, we were beaten to death by the American devils' iron birds. This is a coward death, not many."
Come on, you idiot, let me carry it over Czech style and hold it up!"
Xia Yuan grabbed the submachine gun in his hand, regardless of whether the gun's range was sufficient, and shouted: "First row, listen to the order. When the enemy plane dives again, hit me. Don't let these bastards go."
Relying on his iron bird unscrupulously, if it were not for the insufficient range of the submachine gun in his hand, he would definitely give these American devil pilots a taste of what a terrifying moment is.
The US military aircraft continued to climb and flew into the clouds they saw. The soldiers of the 538th Regiment held the guns tightly in their hands and stared at the clouds in the sky. They continued to shoot from the thick clouds.
The roar of US military aircraft drifted over.
The big man said, "Where's that iron bird?"
Xia Yuan squinted his eyes, opened his eagle eyes to observe above the clouds, "Run away."
The big man was startled: "What, he ran away!!"
Sure enough, after the US military plane rose into the sky, the roar gradually faded away, which made the soldiers who were about to shoot feel extremely aggrieved. After waiting for a minute, the soldiers on the other side who died came to them.
of shouts.
Xia Yuan stood up, holding a gun and watching from a distance. From the moment they set foot on this land, their comrades might leave them one by one. With the pain of losing their comrades, they would continue to fight with the United States.
Japanese aircraft and artillery combat.
The soldiers could not bear to be sad, and the order to continue marching was given again.
On April 7, 1951, all the officers and soldiers of the 180th Division finally arrived at the scheduled location in Yichuan County after fourteen days of rapid march. The 180th Division began to rest on the spot and prepared to change defenses. Some soldiers
During the rapid march, they were so tired that they vomited blood, but no one reported it to their superiors, and no one was willing to tell their plight for fear of causing them to withdraw from the upcoming battle.
The 180th Division was placed on the rear front in central Korea, only thirty kilometers away from Cheorwon, and various units were stationed in tunnels in some important highlands.
In April, spring has arrived, and the climate in North Korea is still a bit cold. When they first arrived in the tunnel, it started to rain outside. The soldiers of the first company were resting, and Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao were called again.
I went to a meeting, but I don’t know what kind of meeting it was.
Xia Yuan, Ma Daguo and Chen Lie were sitting at the entrance of the tunnel. A cold wind blew in, and the three of them tightened their clothes.
Ma Daguo said: "I don't know how long I will have to rest here. I want to fight the American devils."
Chen Lie said: "Don't worry, we will definitely be without you during the war."
Big Ma scratched his head, "Hey, that's a good relationship. Then you see if I can knock the American devils to the ground!"
Chen Lie said: "The American devils are just like you. They are big guys. You have to be careful and don't be reckless. We all know that you are willing to fight with Xia Yuan for your life. But the American devils are not the same as the bandits and reactionaries."
Same, their firepower is stronger."
Big Ma looked at Chen Lie and said, "Old Chen, do you think I am a fool? I only dared to charge when I saw that the enemy could no longer hold on."
Listening to the conversation between the two, with the patter of rain in his ears again, Xia Yuan was thinking about what happened during this period.
At the end of the Fourth Battle, due to the severe battlefield environment and the inability to accurately grasp the battlefield situation at home due to the delay of telegraphs, the general returned to China to hold an expansion meeting in order to explain the battlefield situation clearly, and then the three corps
, the 20th Corps entered the DPRK successively, and together with the 19th Corps that had just entered the DPRK, a total of nine corps and 27 divisions were used as the second force. An anti-aircraft artillery division, a combat defense artillery division and three rocket launcher divisions were dispatched.
, built an airport in North Korea, and gradually modified the small arms of the Volunteer Army.
The day before they arrived in Yichuan County, that is, April 6, Shiji held an internal meeting to discuss the next battle plan.
The general advocated advancing across the board and starting the fifth battle, but some people believed that launching the fifth battle hastily would only make the enemy retreat blindly. Like in the fourth battle, as the front line lengthened, logistics supplies would fall behind.
Failure to do so.
They believed that the front should be narrowed and the United Nations troops should be moved further north, so that the Volunteer Army could take the opportunity to cut them off, divide and surround them, and eliminate them in an organized manner.
Its combat mode is similar to the Battle of Changjin Lake.
At the same time, the new troops who entered the DPRK were not yet familiar with the situation, and the continuous rapid march made the soldiers tired. It would be too hasty to enter the battle now.
This style of play is undoubtedly the safest, and the general's style of play is very radical and risky. But at that time, Shiji received a piece of information that the United Nations Army was planning to implement a large-scale landing plan on the east and west coasts. Once the landing was successful, they would cooperate with
With the large-scale northward march of the land forces, the scene of the Incheon landing will be staged again on the heads of the volunteers.
In the end, the general took a firm stand and counterattacked. He must fight back!
Half a month after the meeting, the fifth battle broke out.
The purpose of this war is to eliminate several enemy divisions, thwart their landing plans, and regain the initiative on the battlefield.
However, no one can predict or control the direction of the fifth battle.
Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at the raindrops falling outside. Listening to the patter of rain, he gradually fell into silence.
