Chapter 66 Pretending to be a corpse to avoid the enemy
"Soldiers, go and finish your work. We are fine. We are just a little injured. The Chinese are very powerful. We are no match for them. We need to prepare more ammunition."
Xia Yuan had a sullen face and spoke politely to the soldier in front of him in English.
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier immediately saluted and ran away to go about his business.
Xia Yuan stared around and saw many soldiers casting curious glances at them. His face turned cold and he said: "Fuck! I didn't see you coming down from the battlefield, did you? You will know when you go to fight the Chinese tomorrow."
How terrible, let’s go.”
Ignoring the strange looks in the eyes of the American soldiers, Xia Yuan waved and led a few people away.
After they were out of the sight of these American soldiers, the hearts of the others gradually relaxed.
"You are not afraid that they will find us, yet you still shout to them like this."
Chen Lie was a little nervous and almost took out his gun just now.
"Don't be afraid, they won't find us."
Xia Yuan grinned, very confident, staring at the trucks coming and going in the distance, and said: "These tanks can't be blown up. Let's start with the trucks, ammunition, medicine and food. This is our goal. The foreign devils have not noticed it."
We, we are safe, but you should not run to crowded places. You can easily be exposed if you often hang out in front of them."
"Don't worry, Lao Xia, we are still confident."
The big man grinned with a smile on his face. He walked aside and used the bayonet behind him to pry open the box. His eyes glowed green as he looked at the contents of the box. "Grandma, the foreigners are really rich. There are so many cans."
.”
He took three out of it and threw them to the three of them respectively, "Old Xia, why don't you eat before you can work?"
"You guys, okay, eat first."
Xia Yuan smiled, pulled a box over, sat down on it, looked at the words on the can, and said with a smile: "Potato beef, oh, this is good stuff, let you try it."
“Beef with potatoes!”
The three people's eyes glowed green.
The food this foreigner eats is really luxurious. There are many kinds of canned food in the box, and potatoes and beef are just one of them. There are also beans and sausages, canned Sydney pears, vegetable and chicken soup, pecan cakes, biscuits and jams. There are cigarettes in the accessory bag.
, water purification tablets, chocolate, coffee and matches, as well as candy, this is the 24-hour ration of the US military, with more varieties and more luxury.
There are seven cans and two accessory bags in a small carton, and six small cartons in the large box.
The U.S. military produces many types of cans, which have been continuously upgraded since World War I. By the time of the Korean War, the U.S. military produced more than a dozen types of cans, the most common of which were canned breakfast and twenty-four-hour rations.
They are all the same, instant coffee, candy, chocolate, biscuits, cigarettes and matches are the most basic ones.
Big Ma opened one, and the liquid inside exuded a mellow smell. He couldn't help but take a sip, and his eyes lit up: "It's so sweet, Lao Chen, come and taste mine, it's so sweet."
Chen Lie stared at the biscuit in his hand, chewed it, walked to the side and sat down, saying: "Eat quickly, start taking action after eating."
Liu Tiezhu lay on the ammunition box, looking around vigilantly while eating. From time to time, American soldiers passed by, and they immediately lowered their heads vigilantly. The piles of various supplies became their cover.
"Platoon leader, what do you see in those tents?"
When Liu Tiezhu looked back, he noticed that the tent behind them was dark, without even a single figure. He could faintly smell a faint odor floating in the air. He ate the strange-tasting chocolate in his hand and stared behind him.
look.
"Basically no one comes to the tent where the US military puts the corpses. It's very safe."
Xia Yuan chewed the beef and said with satisfaction.
This is also the reason why he chose this location. No one would run towards the tent where the corpses were placed. Even the US military personnel would not be able to avoid it.
Liu Tiezhu scratched his head, "No wonder the foreign devils outside stay away when they approach here. It turns out that there are corpses there. They even despise the corpses of their own people. Aren't those people their comrades in arms?"
These concepts of comrades-in-arms and comrades only exist in the volunteer army. Meeting fraternal troops is like meeting your own relatives. This is much rarer in the US military. In the eyes of US soldiers, soldiers from other units are just their own people.
, far from treating them as their own relatives.
Therefore, the corpses taken from the battlefield were placed in the camp and covered with white cloth. Basically no one came here at this late hour.
Xia Yuan didn't know how to tell Liu Tiezhu, so he could only say vaguely: "Different cultures mean different ideas."
After finishing the canned potatoes and beef in his hand, his stomach was still a little empty. Seeing that Xia Yuan had finished eating, the big man opened another box. He couldn't understand what was written on it, so he threw a can to Xia Yuan casually and endured it.
He couldn't help complaining and said: "My mother's leg is broken, I'm so embarrassed. What is this? Here you go, eat more. There are not many opportunities like this."
Xia Yuan smiled, his ears twitched slightly, and he immediately stood up and put away the cans, "Someone is coming! Follow me!"
Liu Tiezhu saw a group of American soldiers carrying corpses walking towards them more than 20 meters away, and immediately jumped down, "A group of foreign devils are carrying corpses, they are probably here to transport the corpses."
Xia Yuan looked around and had already thought of a countermeasure, "Follow me!"
In the tent where the corpses were placed, the corpses of American soldiers were next to each other, covered with white cloth. Xia Yuan grabbed the white cloth placed at the entrance of the tent and said, "Is it okay to pretend to be corpses?"
The three of them immediately understood what Xia Yuan meant. Each of them took a piece of white cloth, walked to an empty seat, lay down, and covered themselves with the white cloth.
At this time, the voices of American soldiers were heard outside the army tent. Xia Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, glanced at Chen Lie opposite him, nodded, and walked behind him. There was a little crowd on the left and right, so he arched to both sides, and then
The white cloth covered his body along his feet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There was a stench floating in the tent. A group of American soldiers entered the tent carrying corpses that had just been transported from the battlefield. Their chattering chatter could be heard in their ears.
Big guys, Liu Tiezhu and Chen Lie couldn't understand, but Xia Yuan heard it very clearly.
"So many people died, and many of their bodies were not taken down. The Chinese and our own bodies were thrown on the battlefield."
"I hate war!"
"Jerry, keep your voice down. Do you want the commander to hear you? He will scold you."
"Just scold me. I don't care anymore. All my friends are dead. They died at the gunpoint of the Chinese. I will take revenge tomorrow."
"Sir, you are not saying that the Chinese have run out of food and ammunition. This is our best chance."
"Man, be careful. The Chinese are very powerful. I heard from my friend on the front line that the Chinese are not afraid of death. They have no food and ammunition. They dare to rush towards us with grenades and die with us. My friend has seen several Chinese
People rushed towards them with a black stick, and many people died."
"They are such a formidable opponent."
"Just like the Japanese."
"It's okay for the Japanese. They are also afraid. The Chinese are different. They rush over and they don't care about their lives. They are not afraid of death."
"Oh, that's really a formidable opponent."
"Oh! Shit! It stinks! I can't stand it anymore. Let's retreat as soon as possible."
"I heard from the chief that these corpses will be gathered together and burned, and the ashes will be transported back to the country."
Several American soldiers carried corpses one after another, threw them on the ground casually, and covered the corpses with a piece of white cloth. These corpses were still intact and could be carried back. Some corpses were broken into pieces and their internal organs were leaking out. It was terrible.
Smelling the putrid smell in the air, the group of American soldiers urged after handling the brought back bodies.
"Guys, leave now. I feel uncomfortable staying here."
"You're under too much psychological pressure. Come on, I'll buy you a beer."
"Oh man, you still have beer, that's great, I've finished my beer a long time ago, damn war, I had to drink to forget about the cruel war."
"Relax, the war will be over soon, sir, the Chinese will definitely lose."
"The best thing to say is the truth, I can't wait to get home."
The sound gradually faded away, and the four pieces of white cloth were suddenly lifted up. The big man grinned unceremoniously: "What are you talking about? It's even worse than what the Japanese devils said."
Chen Lie stared at the newly appeared corpses, moved his eyes away to touch the gun under his body, and then said with peace of mind: "Okay, stop complaining, both of them are ugly."
He turned and stared at Xia Yuan: "Old Xia, what should we do next?"
"This place is very suitable for camouflage, and since no one is coming, we can use this place as our meeting point. If we get separated, we will wait here."
Xia Yuan stood up, rolled up the white cloth and threw it into a frame aside. He continued: "Let's get the foreigners' cars first. I've already taken a look at them. There are several cars that haven't been unloaded yet. This is our opportunity."
Time was running out. After taking them for a walk, Xia Yuan also had a basic grasp of the enemy's location. The foreign Japanese's cannons were all in front, not far from the mountain pass. It was probably for the convenience of transporting them out that they placed the cannons at the mountain pass.
The supplies are in the station at the back, arranged completely irregularly, and piles of supplies can be seen everywhere.
Here, Xia Yuan has already started to take action. The number of US soldiers busy at night is limited, and it is obviously impossible to unload all the supplies at once. This also gives them a chance. There are two US soldier truck drivers, one full
From a distance, you can see them leaning against the truck and smoking cigarettes, or holding a cup of steaming coffee and drinking it comfortably.
In the distance are busy American soldiers.
"After you dispose of them, throw the bodies under the truck. You have to do it quickly and cleanly."
Xia Yuan warned, then looked at Ma Daguo worriedly and said: "Don't be like last time, try to kill him completely this time."
"Don't worry, I was careless last time. It won't happen this time. I will definitely kill them."
The big man was still holding a can, stretched out his dirty hands to grab the food in the can and put it into his mouth. He didn't care about anything. When he acted, he threw the can in a corner and pulled out the bayonet from his back.
He nodded towards Xia Yuan.
Using the cover of piled materials, the four of them touched the butt of the truck and walked around behind the two truck drivers who were talking and laughing. The four divided their work in an orderly manner. Xia Yuan and Liu Tiezhu touched behind a truck driver who was smoking. Xia Yuan
Reaching out to cover the foreigner's mouth and nose, Liu Tiezhu quickly grabbed his legs and brought him down, then pulled out his bayonet and stabbed it into the foreigner's neck. Blood spurted out along the bayonet. Liu Tiezhu slashed the bayonet to the side with slight force,
Enlarge the wound.
The truck driver, who was pinned to the ground by the two men, was shaking all over, and soon there was no movement.
On the other side, Ma Daguo and Chen Lie had also dealt with another driver, and they got the car key from this driver.
"Look what's in the truck. You drag the body under the truck."
Xia Yuan let go of his hand, wiped the foreign Japanese's body, wiped off the blood on his hands, grabbed the edge of the truck, climbed up, took out the bayonet behind him and pried open the box above, took a glance and got an idea in his mind.
Next, Mr. Ma asked: "What are you pretending to be?"
"Ammunition, a lot of bullets, and probably grenades and heavy machine gun bullets."
Xia Yuan jumped down, glanced at the ground, made sure there was nothing missing, and asked, "Where are the car keys."
"Here it is."
Chen Lie shook the key in his hand and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's ammunition or not. We have captured a lot of American guns, but there is no ammunition."
After a pause, he asked again, "Are there any cannonballs?"
"I don't think we have that stuff. There must be a lot of bullets and grenades, big eight-grain ones, Thompson's ones, carbine ones, and the light and heavy machine guns we captured."
One truck of ammunition can supply the 538th Regiment for a blocking battle.
Xia Yuan wondered whether he wanted to get some artillery shells from the foreign devils. After thinking about it again, he decided to forget it and get more medicine, food, and ammunition. This was serious. How much can one cart of artillery shells carry? Although that thing was very heavy.
It's useful, but the role of ammunition is not small, let alone food and medicine.
All the officers and soldiers of the 538th Regiment have been without food for two days. Many soldiers are fighting hungry. The only thing they eat may be wild vegetables. How many wild vegetables are there? There are one and three battalions, as well as machine comrades and machine gun comrades.
There must be thousands of people, and food and drink every day is a problem. Even if you dig up wild vegetables, you can't find them nearby.
A cart of food is just for emergency relief, but it's a pity that we can't take everything with us.
Liu Tiezhu can also drive, and the four of them drive four cars. Xia Yuan has already decided, two cars of medicines, and one car each of ammunition and grain. If nothing goes wrong, that's basically it.
Xia Yuan led them without hesitation and walked swaggeringly under the eyes of the American soldiers. Four vehicles and their keys were quickly obtained. The original trucks were full of supplies, and there were still more supplies on them.
After loading more food, the four of them moved more food, ammunition and medicine into the car while no one was paying attention.
The few people who finished were a little excited. If they really pulled out these four carts of supplies, they could alleviate the problems faced by the 538th Regiment. For them, the credit was secondary. The key was how to help the 538th Regiment.
