During the day, they were marching and fighting, and they were busy at night, digging trenches and thinking of countermeasures. Even Xia Yuan was a little tired, so he kept up his energy and followed Comrade Xiao Qin, one after the other, through the woods.
"Comrade Xiao Qin, what is your name?"
Seeing Comrade Xiao Qin's head downcast, Xia Yuan greeted him and asked.
"Platoon Commander Xia, my name is Qin Shoutian."
"Qin Shoutian..."
Xia Yuan thought for a while, and Qin Shoutian in front said: "Well, my mother told me that the land at home was allocated to them by the Eighth Route Army. She wanted me to guard the land at home, so she gave me the name Qin Shoutian.
, and I also hope that I can join the Eighth Route Army so that I can protect my family's fields."
"With a good name, not only you, but all of us will protect our country and our hard-won fields."
For people in this era, food is the most important thing for the people, and fields are everything. Only with fields can we have the foundation.
The two walked through the woods, over mountains, across fields and roads. They continued to move forward. They walked for about half an hour and stopped to sit down and rest. While resting, they looked around with vigilance.
He took out a handful of fried noodles from the grain bag in his arms and came to Qin Shoutian.
"Eat something?"
Qin Shoutian patted the food strips in front of him: "I still have it, it's enough to eat."
Xia Yuan stuffed the fried noodles into his mouth, drank a few sips of water, as if he were drinking a potion, touched the remaining two-thirds of the grain strips on his neck, and exhaled slightly.
His arms and thighs were trembling slightly, and his body was feeling discomfort. This was the first time he felt discomfort after traveling through time. It was very clear that this feeling was caused by malnutrition.
Xia Yuan's body is very strong. This strength has been systematically strengthened and blessed with skills. However, systematic strengthening and skill blessings do not make him like a superman. His essence is still human.
For seven days of food bars, he only had a handful of fried noodles and a large mouthful of water for each meal. This was his food for one meal. So far, he had only consumed one-third of the food bars on his body. The food bars of other soldiers were basically
Only one or two meals left.
Continuous rapid marches and continuous battles will exhaust even a hardened man.
Xia Yuan just felt the discomfort in his body. Not only his strong physical fitness, but also the lasting changes brought about made him different from ordinary people. For an ordinary person, it would be difficult to feel the changes in his body. His body would only
As time went by, he gradually became malnourished and could no longer clearly feel the changes in his body like Xia Yuan.
"You still have so much food?"
While thinking, Qin Shoutian's voice came to my ears.
Xia Yuan nodded: "I eat food slowly."
"I've almost finished mine." Qin Shoutian said with emotion: "I heard from our platoon leader that there are many veterans from the Red Army period in the team. They are very economical with food and ammunition and are unwilling to overdo it.
Consumption, the platoon leader said, said that, people like that are our role models."
He looked at Xia Yuan and said, "Platoon Commander Xia, you are my role model. Our scout platoon has heard about you a long time ago, and many people admire you."
Xia Yuan smiled, grabbed another handful of fried noodles and stuffed it into his mouth. He drank some water and exhaled slightly. He was really uncomfortable with the feeling of weakness in his body.
Seeing that Xia Yuan remained silent, Qin Shoutian asked again: "Platoon Commander Xia, do we have any operational missions tonight?"
"Operation mission?"
Xia Yuan looked at Qin Shoutian in confusion and shook his head: "There is no action mission."
"Then you..." After a moment of hesitation, Qin Shoutian said: "When I was investigating, I once thought about whether there would be an American artillery position in the ravine. Platoon Commander Xia, you are worthy of having experienced hundreds of battles."
Veteran soldier, I think what you said is right. The terrain of the ravine is too narrow. Even if it looks relatively spacious from the outside, a ravine is still a ravine, and the terrain is complex, which is not conducive to the deployment of enemy artillery positions."
"You think so too?" Xia Yuan smiled and said: "If it is possible to find the enemy's artillery position tonight, we will find a way to destroy the enemy's artillery position."
"Um!"
Qin Shoutian nodded firmly, "We must not let the foreign devils' cannons go off."
After taking a short rest, the two continued to move forward. After walking more than a hundred meters, Xia Yuan suddenly stopped and signaled Qin Shoutian to stop in a low voice.
When Qin Shoutian was confused, there was a roar above his head.
Enemy plane!
With his mind exploding, Qin Shoutian immediately leaned against a big tree, while Xia Yuan was opposite him. The two of them clung to the tree, waiting for the enemy's plane to fly over.
The roaring sound coming from the sky came from far to near, and gradually drifted into the distance.
"U.S. military bombers?" Qin Shoutian exhaled slightly. This thing still puts a lot of pressure on people.
"Scared?"
"Well, I encountered this thing when I was working in the logistics department, and it killed many of our logistics comrades."
The image of planes bombing logistics supply lines lingered in Qin Shoutian's mind. That was not the Korean War, but the War of Liberation. The reactionaries were supported by the United States, and various advanced weapons and equipment were unable to leave. When the volunteers went abroad to fight, they carried
The weapons and equipment are of the IWC brand, and many of the weapons are American-made.
It also includes aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles and other powerful weapons and equipment.
The soldiers who died in logistics were no less or even more than those who died on the front line. Qin Shoutian could never forget those scenes. He could bravely face the enemy's machine gun bunkers, tanks and armored vehicles, but he was unwilling to face the aircraft.
of.
That thing was so powerful and could fly so high that they had no weapons to deal with it.
Xia Yuan comforted him: "There's nothing to be afraid of about airplanes."
Not thinking about this, Qin Shoutian suddenly asked: "Platoon Commander Xia, you can actually hear from so far away. I didn't even notice when the plane came just now."
Xia Yuan laughed and said, "My hearing is very good. Okay, let's keep going."
Qin Shoutian didn't ask and continued on his way. This time he went very smoothly. He walked about seven or eight kilometers in one breath. He took a short rest. Not long after, he passed through a dense forest, climbed over a hillside, and stood on the top of the mountain.
Looking into the distance, I saw the searchlights of the foreign Japanese so conspicuous in the distance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The foreign devils are so rampant. They don't take us seriously. The lights can be turned on and off at will, but we don't even dare to make a fire."
Qin Shoutian said angrily.
"The reason for being so unscrupulous is simply that we don't dare to fight them."
Xia Yuan patted his shoulder: "Let's go, sooner or later they will pay the price for their arrogance."
The two of them descended the mountain and began to move cautiously. Qin Shoutian held his gun and looked around cautiously, saying: "I have observed this forest before and it is safe."
"You have to be careful in everything and don't be careless."
Xia Yuan opened the night market and eagle eyes at the first time, and began to observe. In the cold woods, a gust of cold wind blew through, and the tree shadows swayed. Under the bright moonlight, they looked like ghosts with teeth and claws. Here,
It's hard not to be scared.
Most of South Korea has not yet been developed. It was only after the end of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea that the United States began to support South Korea, and South Korea developed.
Xia Yuan and Qin Shoutian were both strong-willed people. Such an environment did not scare the two of them. They quickly shuttled through the dense forest, and soon they arrived at a position about two miles directly in front of the US military position. Xia Yuan
Stop and start disguising yourself.
His camouflage method is different from Qin Shoutian's camouflage method. Qin Shoutian's camouflage method is relatively simple. He does not carry too much ammunition on his body, almost like he is traveling lightly. He wears leaves on his hat and some parts of his body that can catch weeds.
Don't get any weeds.
Qin Shoutian's cheeks were relatively clean. He was mostly engaged in reconnaissance missions and rarely went to the battlefield. Xia Yuan grabbed a handful of green leaves, crushed them, squeezed out the green liquid, and wiped it on Qin Shoutian's face.
"The sap of the leaves can provide some camouflage. If you can find insect repellent herbs, pound them and apply them on your face, it can also prevent mosquitoes."
Xia Yuan said, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, wiped it on his face, and continued: "Now that conditions are limited, let's use these things first."
Qin Shoutian touched the liquid on his face, thought for a moment, and then took a handful of soil and rubbed it on his face.
Xia Yuan glanced at it, said nothing, and plunged into the dense grass. Qin Shoutian followed closely. The two walked through the forest. The wild forest appeared in front of them, with tall trees and few weeds.
Towards the front, there is an open area cleared by the US military. The US military's searchlights shine from a distance, and the ground appears white.
Qin Shoutian said: "That slope was touched by me before when I was scouting for the enemy. I have never been there before. The open land in front has been disturbed. I suspect that the enemy has buried mines in that area."
"I observed very carefully. The ground has indeed been turned over. The grass looks a bit messy. It is difficult to see without looking carefully."
Xia Yuan relied on night vision and eagle eyes to see that the foreign Japanese had buried mines underground and used weeds on the ground to camouflage them.
"The foreign Japanese are too cunning, Platoon Commander Xia, do we want to get in?" Qin Shoutian lay on the ground and turned to ask.
"Go in and take a look!"
Speculation is still speculation, and after all, it needs to be investigated.
"Platoon Commander Xia, I listen to you." Qin Shoutian said.
"I've found the route, let's go."
Xia Yuan observed the defense situation of the US military on the front. It was the same as what Qin Shoutian said. The US military occupied favorable terrain for defense, with mines as the first line of defense, tanks and armored vehicles in Yamaguchi as the second line of defense, and US military firepower points on the mountains.
It is the third line of defense, which is perfect. It is indeed impossible to attack from here.
However, the place where the US military is stationed is mountainous, steep and covered with rocks. The US military is not found in many locations, which creates opportunities for the two of them.
Xia Yuan has experienced yesterday's climb and has unlocked rock climbing skills. Although it is only entry-level, it is enough.
"Get up from here!"
Taking Qin Shoutian to the foot of a cliff, Xia Yuan squinted his eyes and observed that the cliff was more than 70 degrees, and there were rocks everywhere. There were no US military defenses on the mountain, so he could easily get in from here.
The U.S. military still has not gotten rid of its fixed thinking and always believes that it is impossible for the volunteers to attack from the cliff. It is true that not everyone has rock climbing skills.
"How are you, can you do it?"
"Platoon Commander Xia, don't worry, our training includes rock climbing."
"Okay, let's go."
Xia Yuan carried the gun behind his back, grabbed the rocks and climbed up with his hands and feet. More than seventy degrees is not considered vertical. Such an incline is easy to climb. In addition, there are many raised rocks on the cliff.
This location is very suitable for novices to rock climb. In the process of rock climbing, the proficiency is also increasing rapidly. Coupled with Xia Yuan's own reflexes and physical fitness, he can easily climb up the cliff of 20 to 30 meters high.
At the same time, his rock climbing skills have also been upgraded.
Xia Yuan was a little pleased with the upgrade of his rock climbing skills from the entry level to the proficient level. With such a skill, he had the individual skills to fight on multiple terrains, and it was even easier to weave in and out.
After a while, Qin Shoutian's figure appeared. Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to pull him up. Qin Shoutian said, "Platoon leader Xia, you climb so fast. Have you ever done rock climbing before?"
"There are many trees at home, and I often climb them." Xia Yuan squinted and looked around, then casually fooled Qin Shoutian, pointed in a direction, and the two of them moved in that direction.
After groping on the ridge, Qin Shoutian also observed the so-called ravine. It was winding and covered with rocks. It was similar to what Xia Yuan had guessed before. The terrain on the other side of the mountain was gentler, and the location of the ravine looked very spacious from above.
But looking from below, the ravine is very narrow, and this terrain is not conducive to the deployment of the artillery group.
"The enemy's artillery will not be stationed in such a ravine."
Qin Shoutian had no night vision and relied solely on the visibility brought by the bright moonlight for observation. Such observation was not careful.
"So, we have to explore in the opposite direction."
The direction Xia Yuan pointed was to the south. They wanted to continue to move forward. He said as he walked: "The enemy's artillery group will not spread out in front of the infantry. We have to explore to the rear and we should be able to see the enemy's artillery group."
.”
Qin Shoutian was inexplicably excited, "If we find the artillery group, we can blow up the enemy's artillery!"
"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded and stared at the ravine. The enemy was stationed in the middle of the ravine. On the slopes on both sides were enemy fire bunkers. There were many large and small camps in the ravine, including trucks, motorcycles, and armored vehicles.
Neatly arranged, ammunition, food and medicines containing supplies were lying quietly under the tent. It was certain that the enemy's strength was at least battalion level or above.
As he walked, he observed that in the winding ravine going back, there were traces of fortifications built by the enemy. Even if the enemy was not found in these traces, such traces were everywhere, halfway up the mountain, on the top of the mountain, and in the ravine.
Xia Yuan led Qin Shoutian into the remains of a U.S. military fortification. The fortification was simple and built using logs and sandbags. There were empty cans and domestic garbage left behind by the U.S. military inside the fortification. There were machine guns on the sandbags.
