The commander of the first battalion, company and platoon entered the foreign Japanese camp, and the news of the seizure of four trucks of supplies was quickly reported back to the regiment headquarters. Commander Pang was very happy, "This old Li really gave me such a big surprise. We are just about to
At a time when we are short of food and ammunition, four trucks of supplies are really critical. Take note of Xia Yuan, I will personally call the division commander!"
"yes!"
"Immediately send someone to ask where that batch of supplies is."
"It's been delivered, right behind."
"So fast?"
"It takes more than half an hour to drive on the main road, so it's very fast."
Captain Pang couldn't sit still and immediately led his people: "Let's go and have a look!"
Four trucks parked quietly behind the regimental headquarters. The trucks were filled with supplies and tied with ropes and canvas. The open boxes were filled with ammunition, medicines and cans.
"These medicines arrived just in time. I'm going to call the teacher later."
Commander Pang came to the truck with cans again, reached out to grab the edge, stepped on the tires, and climbed up. He picked up a can at random and said, "These cans are going to be sent to the field hospital. The wounded need nutrition very much, but there are so many."
We can’t just keep the canned food, we can leave it to the division headquarters to distribute the supplies.”
"yes!"
With the establishment of the three lines of defense, it does not mean that they can safely cover the retreat of the wounded. The most critical issue has not yet been resolved, and that is the material issue.
"Our frontal enemy is the enemy of two divisions. Without enough food, ammunition and medicine, how can we fight the enemy? These three lines of defense will not last long."
Chief of Staff Wang looked at the reports submitted by each regiment with a solemn expression.
Director Wu frowned: "The munitions department has been emptied. Even if the rats come, they will have an empty stomach. Not to mention ammunition, there is not even a bullet casing left. Everything that can be sent to the front line has been sent to the front line. Now
The number of wounded submitted by each regiment was too great, and the medicines in the field hospital have been exhausted, but the wounded are still being transferred in a steady stream."
Teacher Zheng held a more than half-burned cigarette in his fingers and frowned.
Deputy Commander Duan grinned and looked a little depressed: "Grandma, how are we going to fight this battle? It's obviously done with the idea of wiping out our 180th Division. How are we going to fight? There are no medicines and no food.
Food, let alone down to the company, we have been relying on eating wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger."
Yes, even the commanders of the division can survive on wild vegetables, so how can the companies under the division be any better?
They had already lost half of this battle before it even started.
Commander Zheng was still trying to persuade Deputy Commander Duan: "Old Duan, our superiors have arranged for us to show that even they have reached the point where they have run out of ammunition and food. We have no choice but to issue such an order. We must resolutely implement the commander's order. If there are difficulties, we must work hard."
To overcome, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated, and there is no difficulty that cannot be solved. The battle requires the concerted efforts of all the commanders and fighters of the division, so don’t say any depressing words."
Deputy Commander Duan still had a lot of emotions. He said, "Old Zheng, why did I say something depressing? Am I not telling the truth?"
"The logistics supply line is blocked by the enemy and supplies cannot be delivered. You must also be considerate of the logistics comrades. We cannot embarrass them. The Yankee planes can fly more than a dozen times every day, but the logistics comrades still brave the enemy's bombing and strafing.
We have difficulties delivering supplies to us, but they don’t?"
Commander Zheng patted Deputy Commander Duan on the shoulder and said: "The battle has reached this level, and whoever is arranged to hold on is the same. This is the case for our division, and it is the same for the 179th Division and the 181st Division.
.”
Deputy Commander Duan stopped talking. He lit a cigarette and puffed on it. The smoke slowly rose.
The phone rang suddenly. Mr. Zheng ignored Deputy Commander Duan and stood up to answer the phone: "Hey, yes, this is Lao Pang. What do you need? Supplies? Lao Pang, you are also aware of the current situation. Don't worry.
It's the division headquarters, but even the military headquarters doesn't have much supplies to provide. Yes, I've already contacted the military commander. The military headquarters is also in great difficulty. What, you're not here to ask for supplies. Do you have any information to report?
"
"What!!! Say it again!! OK, OK! I know!"
Teacher Zheng put down the phone, and a smile appeared on his solemn face: "Hahahaha! What a row, what a row!"
Deputy Commander Duan, Director Wu and Chief of Staff Wang looked at Commander Zheng curiously.
Director Wu asked curiously: "Old Zheng, what happened? Why are you so happy?"
Commander Zheng said happily: "The call from Lao Pang of the 538th Regiment brought me a huge surprise. Do you still remember the platoon leader of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company?"
Director Wu thought for a moment and said, "It's that fighting hero. Lao Pang called me earlier. This guy blew up the enemy's artillery position."
"Yes, it's this kid. Just now Lao Pang brought back another piece of good news, and it was this kid who did it again." Mr. Zheng sat down and poured a glass of water with a smile on his face.
"Stop being so secretive and tell me quickly," Chief of Staff Wang said.
Deputy Commander Duan and Director Wu also looked at Mr. Zheng curiously.
But he saw Master Zheng taking a sip of tea with a smile, and then said: "This guy seized four carts of supplies, which came from the Yankee camp, two carts of medicine, one cart of cans, and one cart of ammunition."
"What!"
The three of them looked shocked and looked at each other.
Deputy Commander Duan put out his cigarette and asked: "Four carts of supplies were seized. I am sure they are four carts of supplies, not four boxes."
"That's right, Lao Pang has confirmed it and is on the way now. They have kept some of the ammunition and cans for themselves, and the medicines and other things are ready to be sent to the munitions department."
Commander Zheng sat down, with an unstoppable smile on his face: "This batch of materials, ammunition and food is okay, not much. It can at most meet some urgent needs, but two trucks of medicine are huge. We are short of medicine now."
During the critical period of the epidemic, many soldiers in the field hospital gritted their teeth and endured not using medicine, leaving the medicine for the seriously injured soldiers. These two trucks of medicine were sent here, but they were life-saving."
"It's incredible. How did they do it? Two trucks of medicines. I'm afraid they robbed the supplies from the mouths of the foreign devils."
Director Wu's face was full of surprise.
"No, ammunition and food are okay. Generally speaking, these things are available in US military bases. Who would have thought that they can even snatch medicines back."
Chief of Staff Wang had a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
The value of medicines is much higher than ammunition and food. Medicines are life-saving. Foreign devils generally regard them as very important. They especially understand the preciousness of medicines. From the anti-Japanese period, bullets, grenades, and artillery shells were often seized on the battlefield.
Cans are often seized, but medicines are rarely seized. The enemy must be surrounded, and the enemy's logistics and transportation troops must also be surrounded. Only the lucky ones can stop those transporting medicines, but more ammunition and
food.
It's not easy to seize two trucks of drugs.
The teacher pointed out that Lao Zheng and the others had rare smiles on their faces. Two trucks of medicines could save the lives of many soldiers. This was the only thing that made them happy when all kinds of bad things happened frequently.
Commander Zheng said: "After the battle is over, I want to see this kid. During this time, I always heard what this kid did. He blew up the enemy's artillery position and led two combat teams to touch the enemy's buttocks. This way
Capable warriors are really rare."
Four trucks of supplies were delivered to the division headquarters. Commander Zheng took people to see them. The four trucks were full of supplies. Except for some ammunition taken by the 538th Regiment and distributed to each battalion, more than half of the trucks of ammunition were left. The most important thing was to merge them
Not ammunition, but medicine.
Mr. Zheng looked through the medicines on the car and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, these are life-saving medicines. Go, take these medicines to the hospital immediately and put them into use."
"yes!"
Director Wu said: "This batch of medicines came really on time."
Deputy Commander Duan nodded: "Yes, this boy Xia Yuan really gave us another surprise. When the battle is over, I will also meet this boy. He can bring us unexpected surprises every time."
From the beginning of the battle to now, the battle of the company has shocked many people. It destroyed three enemy highlands in one night. In the battle in Tonggu, ten enemy Sherman tanks were wiped out, and one enemy unit was wiped out. During the attack on the enemy
In the highlands, the Sharp Knife Company can always complete its missions brilliantly. In the battle on the 336.8 Highlands, the soldiers who led two combat groups reached the enemy's position from the cliff at the rear, opening a new path behind the enemy for the troops attacking from the front.
When the enemy counterattacks heavily, blow up the enemy's artillery positions.
And now, a large amount of materials, especially precious medicines, have been seized. There are many injured soldiers in the hospitals in the rear waiting for the logistics to deliver medicines, but they can't wait because the enemy's blockade is too strict. Not to mention medicines, just food.
, ammunition is difficult to transport.
In the field hospital, many wounded people were lying on the ground. The bright red blood penetrated the clean gauze. Lin Qingxue's arms were missing. The violin with broken strings was quietly placed beside her bed. The field hospital was in the forest, with vines.
They were built with strips and wood, and covered with a layer of green leaves and weeds for camouflage. Each hospital bed also used branches and leaves as the floor, with a layer of quilts spread on top.
There are hundreds of beds like this. Many wounded people are lying on the beds. Most of them are seriously injured. There are many people like her who have their hands and feet blown off. They come from the front line and are transported from the logistics. Due to the lack of medicine, many people have lost their arms and legs.
The wounds of the wounded were simply treated and wrapped with gauze. The pain in the wounds was heartbreaking. The soldiers turned pale in pain and could not sleep all night long. Their faces were haggard and their eyes were bloodshot.
Maybe they were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes. The sleepiness overcame the pain in their bodies and they were able to fall asleep. After falling asleep, their bodies were still shaking.
The sting of the wound has been brought into the dream.
Without timely treatment of anti-inflammatory drugs, many soldiers' wounds became ulcerated and rotten. When the gauze was removed, large pieces of rotten and ulcerated flesh could be brought out. But even so, the soldiers remained silent.
Speak up, grit your teeth and bear it.
"Qingxue, you're awake, how are you feeling? Come and have something to eat."
Li Mengqi came over, carrying a small bowl with some clear water vegetables and a few pieces of meat floating on top.
"Meng Qi." Lin Qingxue gritted her teeth and said with red eyes, "My hands... I can't play the violin anymore."
Li Mengqi had a distressed look on her face, grabbed her clothes and said, "Qingxue, I will take good care of you. You must live well and let's go home together."
The scene of that night seemed to appear before Lin Qingxue's eyes. Countless soldiers and Korean people were killed by enemy planes in order to protect the supplies they had worked so hard to transport. Those soldiers' sacrifices were not only to protect the supplies, but also to protect their motherland.
When she came to North Korea, she came to North Korea with the idea of protecting the motherland.
Lin Qingxue nodded firmly and said, "Mengqi, don't worry, I will live well."
"Sister Mengqi, go and take a look. Comrade Xiao Sun is not eating again."
A lesbian who looked no more than fifteen years old ran over and said eagerly.
"Xiaofeng, you feed Sister Qingxue, and I'll feed Comrade Xiao Sun."
Li Mengqi handed the rice in her hand to the lesbian in front of her, took the bowl in her hand, turned to Lin Qingxue and said softly: "Qingxue, I'll come as soon as I go, and I'll come to see you later."
"Well, you go ahead."
Li Mengqi left with the bowl and came to a straw shed that had been built. Because there were too many wounded people, the original straw shed could no longer accommodate so many wounded people. They could only open up a new straw shed next to it.
Accommodate more casualties.
There was a very special wounded person among this group of wounded. He was a soldier of the 539th Regiment. When he was attacking the enemy's high ground, his lower cheek was penetrated by an enemy bullet. His jaw was shattered and his upper molars were exposed. He could
You can clearly see the black throat, which looks very scary. The nurses in the field hospital are all students from China. Few have seen such wounded people. They dare not feed them or change their dressings. They are bloody.
The wound frightened them. Once the bandage was removed, the blood flowed uncontrollably, and few dared to talk to him. Usually, he lay there quietly without making a sound, unable to speak, and could only say, "
Ahhh' sound.
When Li Mengqi came, he saw the man wrapped tightly in bandages twisting his head slightly, and his gray pupils seemed to shine brightly. He wanted to struggle, but Li Mengqi took three steps in succession and said, "Sit still.
I'll feed you."
"Ahh..."
He couldn't speak, he could only make such a sound, and then turned his head to the side, with tears in his eyes.
Li Mengqi knelt down and asked, "Do you think you are dragging us down?"
He nodded slowly, his tongue was wagging in his mouth, his chin was missing. He had become a useless person, and his life was a drag. No one wanted to talk, and the nurse felt scared when she saw him. What's the point of living like this, causing trouble to the country?
He thought he should hold a grenade and die with the enemy.
Li Mengqi looked at him and said: "Comrade Xiao Sun, you did not drag us down. On the contrary, you protected us and our country. When you were not injured, you blocked the brutal enemy for us. You are a hero. Now
