The thirteen cotton coats, even if they were a little shabby, were much better than the few autumn warm-weather clothes they were wearing.
Although the soldiers of the Sixth Company were extremely cold, their movements were very deft. They quickly took off thirteen pieces of cotton clothing and thermal clothing, including cotton trousers, cotton boots and cotton socks, but the cotton socks were already soaked.
The soldiers did not mind it, as these were life-saving measures for them. Some soldiers even put socks in their arms, hoping to dry them with their body temperature.
The instructor of the Sixth Company arranged, "Distribute the clothes to the soldiers with severe frostbite, and everyone will take turns to wear the extra clothes."
Wang Yonghe stuffed the military coat into the instructor's arms and said, "Instructor, give the coat to the soldiers with severe frostbite."
The instructor glanced at Xia Yuan and said, "Comrade Xia Yuan, give us your coat while you..."
Xia Yuan smiled and said: "Instructor, don't worry, I am strong and strong, this coldness is nothing, and I am still wearing cotton clothes."
At this time, a soldier with sharp eyes noticed blood seeping out of Xia Yuan's abdomen, and hurriedly said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, your abdomen is injured!"
Xia Yuan lowered his head and reached out to touch, only to realize that he had torn the wound again because he was too excited. The wound that had been healing slowly was torn again and blood seeped out.
Xia Yuan said: "It's okay. It's a minor injury. It's almost healed. It's probably a tear caused by the exercise just now."
Wang Yonghe looked serious: "The injury is not a trivial matter. Hygienist, please treat Comrade Xia Yuan's wound. In addition, there is no need for the coat, your body is more important."
"Then the bodies of comrades are not bodies? We are the same, and they need this military coat more."
Xia Yuan couldn't help but put the military coat into Wang Yonghe's hands, looked at the sky, and said: "Captain Wang, Director Li, this is not the place to talk. I will take everyone to get things first, and then treat the wounds after getting the things."
Wang Yonghe asked curiously: "Something? What is it? Is it something very important?"
Xia Yuandao: "A batch of supplies, I captured a reconnaissance platoon of the Korean army by killing them. There are a lot of military coats, which are just enough to replenish the soldiers in the company."
Instructor Li and Wang Yonghe were obviously a little shocked. They looked at each other and Wang Yonghe asked: "You eliminated an enemy reconnaissance platoon. Did you kill it by yourself?"
Xia Yuan nodded, "Well, there were originally three cars, and one fell into the ditch, but I am the only one, so I can only choose a jeep. I will take everyone with me now."
Seeing that the two of them were not convinced, Xia Yuan took them to the place where he hid the car. The soldiers of the Sixth Company opened the branches on the car, revealing a jeep with a military coat. Under the military coat, there were
Cotton clothes and some weapons and equipment.
Instructor Li walked up and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, good guy, there is even a heavy machine gun!"
Wang Yonghe circled the jeep in disbelief and asked with a shocked look on his face: "You seized these all by yourself?"
Xia Yuan nodded and pulled down a bundle of cotton clothes and military coats from the car, "Yes, Company Commander Wang, I captured these things alone. The comrades' clothes are very thin and cannot withstand the cold at all. Please put on these clothes quickly."
.”
"Comrade Xia Yuan, you really have to hand these things over to us."
"Captain Wang, please don't refuse. You don't give it to anyone you give it to. Don't be stunned."
Instructor Li happily took Xia Yuan's hand and said, "Comrade Xia Yuan, thank you for bringing us such a batch of supplies! This batch of supplies is crucial to us!"
When many companies of the Ninth Corps entered the court, they were all wearing single clothes. Only some soldiers were lucky enough to be assigned some cotton-padded clothes. Due to the serious scarcity of cotton-padded clothes, some soldiers only received a pair of shoes, or a pair of pants, or
A top, not to mention quilts. During the period of resistance to U.S. aggression and aid to Korea, a class could only be allocated two or three quilts.
This batch of supplies was definitely a timely help for the thinly-clad Sixth Company.
Instructor Li quickly arranged for some soldiers with severe frostbite to change into these clothes, and collected the clothes they took off for other soldiers to wear. There were also sleeping bags, shoes, socks, gloves and some cotton clothes in the car.
Weak warriors can rest in sleeping bags when they rest at night.
In this way, each squad in the company can be assigned two or three coats, two or three sleeping bags, two or three pairs of cotton boots, socks and gloves, and two or three water bottles. This situation is much better than when they first arrived.
The soldiers assigned to the cotton boots originally wanted to give the cotton boots to other soldiers. After repeated orders from Company Commander Wang, they sat down on the snow and pulled their feet out of the snow, revealing single rubber shoes stuffed with straw.
They were already wet, and their feet were red and swollen from the cold. Many soldiers' feet were ulcerated. When they took off their socks, the socks were still attached to the flesh, and they were stuck to each other piece by piece. Seeing this scene made Xia Yuan feel very sad, and he turned his head.
In the past, I didn’t want to see this scene.
Watching the soldiers packing up the supplies in the car, Instructor Li asked the health worker to treat Xia Yuan's wounds. Xia Yuan took out the previously seized medicine and asked the health worker: "Do you know what kind of medicine this is?"
The hygienist held it in his hand and looked at it: "I know this, it's an anti-inflammatory drug, but these... I can't understand. I guess you need to try to find out. Is this what you also seized?"
"Well, they were seized from those Koreans."
Xia Yuan nodded and handed the medicine to the hygienist: "Take the anti-inflammatory medicine. You will definitely need it in the future. Forget about these medicines. If you don't understand them, don't dare to use them rashly."
"You are so powerful. One person actually destroyed a platoon. We have just entered the DPRK and we haven't even seen the American devils yet."
The hygienist carefully untied Xia Yuan's bandage and said, "Be patient."
"Um."
The hygienist untied the bandage on Xia Yuan's body, looked at the wound, and said in surprise: "Did you make these herbs yourself?"
"After I was injured, in a village that was bombed by the enemy, I met a surviving North Korean who helped me do it. I slept like crazy the next day. She got up to help me collect herbs. Unexpectedly, the US military came. She
In order to protect my safety, he lured the US troops away and was killed by the US troops."
The health worker didn't expect such a thing to happen. He said solemnly: "We will definitely drive away these invaders and give the Korean people a home without war."
Xia Yuan nodded heavily.
The hygienist helped Xia Yuan treat the wound, anti-inflammation, and got some medicine to apply on the wound. He looked at the unfamiliar bottles and jars and stuffed them into his medicine box: "Don't throw away these medicines. It's too much to throw away."
It’s a pity, I’ll leave it to myself to figure it out.”
Xia Yuan didn't say anything. Dong Yuan ran over with a military coat in his arms and put it on Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan looked back and said, "This military coat is reserved for you to wear."
Dong Yuandao: "Comrade Xia Yuan, this military coat and gloves were specially requested by the company commander to be left to you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have a military coat. The soldiers are very grateful to you, and they also agree very much."
Instructor Li came over with several soldiers, as if he was worried about Xia Yuan's psychological burden, and said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, we also want to thank you for sending us such a batch of supplies. Originally, there were many wounded soldiers in the company who had frostbite.
, if they continue, they may not even be able to reach Changjin Lake. Thanks to your supplies, if it weren’t for your supplies, they would probably have fallen on the march. You should be wearing this military coat, not to mention you.
He is also a wounded person, everyone thinks so."
"Yes, Comrade Xia Yuan, just wear it."
"If it weren't for Comrade Xia Yuan, many of our soldiers might have fallen on the road in confusion. Thank you Comrade Xia Yuan."
This made Xia Yuan feel embarrassed, so he had to accept their kindness and put on a military coat and gloves. Xia Yuan suddenly felt that the clothes became extra warm.
On the jeep, after military coats, cotton boots, cotton socks, gloves, and sleeping bags were distributed according to quantity to each platoon and squad, there were actually a lot of guns and bullets on the jeep. What shocked several platoon leaders and Wang Yonghe was that, in addition to rifles,
There was actually a heavy machine gun, two light machine guns, and two recoilless rifles plus seven rounds of artillery shells.
"Company commander, this is such a treasure!"
The second platoon leader's eyes shone brightly, and he stretched out his cold-cracked palms to gently touch the heavy machine gun.
"Second Platoon Commander, what are you making? How can you touch our platoon's heavy machine gun?"
The leader of the first platoon was a big man from Shandong, grinning and speaking with a strong Shandong accent.
The commander of the third platoon was unhappy when he heard this, "What are you in the second platoon? They are obviously in our third platoon. This time our third platoon will suffer a little loss. I will give you the light machine gun, and give this precious pimple to us."
Wang Yonghe looked at his three platoon leaders happily, "These things are not ours, they were seized by Comrade Xia Yuan. If you want them, go and ask him if he agrees."
When the Shandong man heard this, he quickly ran to Xia Yuan and asked. When Xia Yuan heard what was going on, he smiled and said: "These weapons are originally for you. I have a gun myself, and that thing is too heavy. I
Even if they want to be carried by our company, one person cannot carry them, so let your company commander arrange the distribution."
Wang Yonghe came over and patted the second platoon leader on the shoulder with a smile on his face. With these weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of their sixth company will be greatly improved.
One heavy machine gun, two light machine guns, plus two recoilless rifles and seven rounds of artillery shells, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition.
Wang Yonghe grinned from ear to ear with joy. He was able to pick up so much equipment for free while walking on the road. The most important thing was people. This guy had killed a reconnaissance platoon. Needless to say, his combat capability was so great. If he could stay in the company for a while,
It’s more profitable than this batch of equipment.
