Chapter 41: The Thinly Dressed Band of Brothers

The battle on Xia Yuan's side is not over yet. It is difficult to have much impact on him at night. However, this broken army is very timid. After three people were killed, they hid behind the bunker and refused to bite the head.

, refused to surrender, and fired a few shots sporadically to show resistance.

The wind and snow were so strong that the defeated troops did not even see Xia Yuan's figure, and they didn't know where the bullets were fired.

He took out some bullets from the bullet bag and put them in the magazine. Xia Yuan started to touch the flanks. He had no intention of capturing prisoners. He was alone and had not returned to the team. If he lost them, it would be a problem. He might as well kill them.

to improve your aiming proficiency.

Just as he was told, Xia Yuan took advantage of the cover of the wind and snow to quickly reach the flank. With his bright eyes, through the darkness and the wind and snow, he could clearly see the broken soldiers lying on the ground.

They yelled and didn't know what they said. They turned around and ran away down the mountain like crazy.

"Hey." Xia Yuan was surprised. He stood up directly, holding up the gun, as if he was shooting at a live target. He aimed and fired, one at a time. The eight bullets with eight large grains were empty and hit the enemy.

, six shots killed him directly, two shots hit the enemy's vitals, and he fell directly to the snow. Although he did not die on the spot, in such a cold weather, once he lost too much blood, he was only slightly injured, and he was not far away from death.

There were still several figures running away, Xia Yuan calmly suppressed the bullets.

Just as he was about to shoot, gunshots came from the mountain opposite. The bullets shot down, stirring up snowflakes and gravel on the snow, killing the fleeing Korean soldiers. Soon a team appeared on the other side of the mountain.

, they did not come down and observed very carefully.

The dark night can provide them with cover, but in Xia Yuan's eyes, just like the shimmering sky at dawn, the world in front of him is unobstructed.

Xia Yuan stood up and took a closer look. He turned out to be one of his own. Huge surprise enveloped his whole body. His eyes were suddenly covered with red threads. He ran over excitedly and shouted: "Comrade! I am the Chinese People's Volunteers!"

There was a slight tear in his abdomen, and a trace of bright red blood soon penetrated the bandage, but it was as if he didn't feel it. The joy and excitement of meeting his comrade enveloped him. For five or six days and nights, he finally met his brother.

force.

A voice also came from the other side: "Company commander, he is one of ours."

Company Commander Wang Yonghe said: "We can't be completely sure. Let a row of soldiers go over from the flank to see if there is any ambush. Others should pay attention."

"yes!"

“?,????…”

The message from the first platoon was quickly transmitted through the whistle. Everything was normal and no other abnormalities were found. The battle was over.

"Send a soldier down to negotiate with him." Wang Yonghe looked at Xia Yuan walking down the mountain and immediately arranged for a soldier to go down the mountain.

The soldier was very vigilant, holding a gun and asked: "Which section are you in?"

When Xia Yuan saw the person coming, he was not wearing thick cotton clothes, but the kind of autumn warm-weather clothes. It was very thin, and it was just a single garment. The clothes were stuffed with straw, and they were bulging, and his hands were exposed from his neck and sleeves.

He was red and swollen from the cold, and there were even cracks on the back of his hands. His feet were buried deep in the snow. Some of his thin bodies were swaying gently in the wind and snow, but his posture and eyes holding the gun were so firm.

.

Xia Yuan held back tears and shouted: "I am the 677th soldier of the 7th Interpenetrating Company of the 1st Attack Regiment of the Ninth Corps, Xia Yuan! I encountered the enemy on the way to Changjin Lake, and during the task of luring the enemy, I interacted with the troops.

Get separated."

The soldier said: "The Ninth Corps? I am also a soldier of the Ninth Corps. My name is Dong Yuan. You wait here first, and I will call the company commander."

Xia Yuan took a deep breath, took off the gloves on his hands, and stopped him, "Wait, you put this on."

These gloves were naturally captured by him after killing the enemy. There were more than thirty pairs of gloves, military coats, cotton boots and socks, and a dozen warm clothes in the car.

The soldier named Dong Yuan turned around and shook his head quickly: "Comrade Xia Yuan, this won't work."

Xia Yuan put it directly in his arms, "Just take it if you are told to. I have seized a lot. I will ask your company commander to follow me to get it later."

Dong Yuan looked at the thick handstand in his arms hesitantly. His hands were cracked by the cold, revealing bright red flesh and blood.

Xia Yuan said: "Okay, go quickly, it's too cold here."

Dong Yuan showed a happy smile: "Thank you, Comrade Xia Yuan."

Holding his gloves, he quickly went back and reported the news here to Wang Yonghe, "Company commander, he is from our Ninth Corps, a heroic company, the seventh intersecting company of the first attack group."

When Wang Yonghe heard this, he became interested. He then received a signal from the platoon leader. After confirming that everything was normal, he said, "Let's go over and have a look."

A group of people came down from the mountain. Dong Yuan held his gloves and reached the back of the team. He saw a smaller soldier holding his arms and a gun in his arms. His whole body was swaying. His hands were rotten from the cold and his body was stuffed.

It is filled with a lot of straw as filling.

Dong Yuan took out his gloves from his pocket and handed them to the little warrior in front of him, saying, "Amao, look what did I bring you?"

"Gloves! Brother Dong Yuan, where did you get them?"

The little soldier named Amao was overjoyed and held the glove in his arms. He couldn't put it down and touched it. He saw Dong Yuan's hand again and looked at the hands of other soldiers. He raised his head and gave Dong Yuan the glove.

In his hand, "Brother Dong Yuan, I'm still fine. Give the gloves to the soldiers in need."

Dong Yuan was stunned, looked at the stubborn Amao, and gave him the gloves: "I gave you the gloves, you can handle it yourself." After saying that, he left.

Unexpectedly, Song Amao handed the gloves to the wounded, and the wounded handed the gloves to the person who could shoot. The gloves went around and were handed to him by another soldier: "Dong Yuan, yours."

How are your hands? Here, here is a pair of gloves for you to wear."

Dong Yuan stared at the gloves in his hand and was stunned for a moment.

Xia Yuan was even more excited when he saw the company that appeared. When they walked in, he felt extremely bitter in his heart. Almost all the soldiers in a company were suitable for Dong Yuan's situation. Their clothes were thin, and many soldiers even had clothes in their clothes.

Without straw stuffing, there were only a dozen people carrying quilts out of more than a hundred people, which meant that they could only get two quilts per class, and military coats were even rarer.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army that participated in the Battle of Changjin Lake was only issued thin cotton-padded jackets from the southern troops due to their emergency entry into North Korea, which could not withstand the severe cold of North Korea at all; at that time, there were

The class in each class only had one coat, and whoever was on guard wore it; not everyone had a quilt, and more than a dozen people in each class shared one or two quilts. On such an extremely cold night, the soldiers had to spread the quilts on the

On the snow, everyone slept together, hugging each other to resist the cold.

Because there were not enough winter clothes, the troops suffered heavy non-combat casualties and their combat effectiveness was sharply reduced. On the first day of march, the 27th Army of the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army suffered frostbite on more than 700 people.

Xia Yuan stood at attention, saluted, and said in a sonorous voice: "Reporting to the company commander! I am Xia Yuan, the 677th soldier of the 7th Interpenetration Company of the 1st Offensive Regiment of the 9th Corps!"

Wang Yonghe saluted: "Captain of the 6th Company, 2nd Battalion, 177th Regiment, 20th Army, 59th Division, Ninth Corps, Wang Yonghe."

Instructor Li Changming of the 6th Company also saluted: "Instructor of the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 177th Regiment, Comrade Li Changming. Comrade Xia Yuan, what happened? How did you lose contact with the team?"

Xia Yuan described to Wang Yonghe the situation of the Seventh Company's encounter with the enemy reconnaissance company, "This is the situation. I had already jumped off the cliff with the determination to die, but I didn't expect that there was a protruding stone on the cliff. Save

Killed me."

Looking back, Xia Yuan was still frightened. If he hadn't seen the stone when he jumped, he would have rolled down the mountain and turned into a cold corpse.

Wang Yonghe patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder, his eyes lingered on the gun wrapped with cloth behind Xia Yuan, and asked curiously: "What kind of gun is this."

Xia Yuan took off the gun and said, "The US military's gun, the Garand semi-automatic rifle, does not need to pull the bolt and can fire continuously."

Wang Yonghe touched the gun and tried the trigger. The sound was crisp and pleasant, "What a gun. How many bullets can it hold?"

Xia Yuandao: "Eight bullets."

Wang Yonghe handed the gun to Xia Yuan, "Sure enough, good things still have to be seized from the hands of the American emperor. Comrade Xia Yuan, since you are alone now, why not follow us first? Our destination is also Changjin Lake."

"Okay, no problem."

Xia Yuan agreed without even thinking about it. After being separated from the team for so long, he already felt like he wanted to return home. Naturally, he would not refuse such a good opportunity in front of him.

Xia Yuan looked at the soldiers' clothes and couldn't help but asked sadly, "Captain Wang, why are the soldiers still wearing such thin clothes? Didn't you get cotton-padded clothes?"

"The time for the troops to enter the DPRK was too tight. Not to mention cotton-padded clothes, even bedding was lacking. Some only received hats, some only received a pair of cotton boots, and some received a pair of trousers. The supplies were too short. There were many

The soldiers are all suffering from frostbite."

Wang Yonghe sighed. Even though he felt sorry for the soldiers, there was no way. Without logistical support, he could only endure the cold and continue to move forward to carry out the tasks above.

Xia Yuan looked at the soldiers of the Sixth Company, took off his military coat and handed it to Wang Yonghe. Wang Yonghe didn't even think about it and just finished his sentence. Xia Yuan pressed Captain Wang's hand and said: "Captain Wang, listen to me, this is

Military coats are first given to the wounded with frostbite. They need them more than I do. In addition, I have hidden a lot of good things about one kilometer here, all of which were seized from the Japs. In addition, don’t let go of the clothes on the Japs.

, it’s best not to let go of your underwear, to be humane to them at this time is to be cruel to our soldiers.”

Wang Yonghe hesitated for a moment, then nodded seriously and ordered the soldiers to take off their clothes and do reconnaissance work to ensure the safety here.
