"This damn weather has had a huge impact on our tanks and cars. Isn't Marshal crazy if he wants us to fight to the Yalu River?"
"Keep your voice down, man. We'll find a way. I still want to go home for Christmas."
"I also want to celebrate Christmas. I hope everything goes smoothly. I also want to be reunited with my family. I miss them."
"I miss them too, man. You're not the only one. I just wish we could move faster."
The sentry tower rotates automatically, and even the ground where the light sweeps is fixed. The time for one rotation is exactly one minute, just a little more. The two American soldiers on guard were chatting with nothing to do. To them,
, this is not a mission, but a job, a shift every day.
"Man, come and try the cigarettes I brought from home. These are good things. They will help you cheer up."
"Thank you man, oh shit, it's so cold here! I want to get back in my sleeping bag."
"Just be patient, we can change the job in half an hour."
"Man, stand over here, there's no wind here."
Two American soldiers chatted, lit fires and smoked with each other. They crouched behind the guard tower to resist the cold wind. This gave Xia Yuan an opportunity. He quickly approached the first bunker in front of him. It was almost time. He quickly lay down in the bunker.
The light swept over his head.
Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after successfully approaching the first bunker.
Regardless of whether the U.S. troops on the guard tower can see it or not, the due caution is indispensable.
The light swept across, and the vision suddenly brightened, and soon dimmed again.
Xia Yuan rushed out of the bunker, approaching quickly with a gun on his waist.
One hundred meters...eighty meters...fifty meters...
Xia Yuan did not stick to the time when the light swept over, but hid in the bunker in advance. It was further away from the next bunker. One minute might be enough, but it was too risky, and he didn't need to take the risk at all.
And the bunker in front is said to be a bunker, but it is actually a slightly bulging slope, which can still be seen from a high position. However, the US military personnel on guard are more relaxed. Even if he has approached the sentry tower, the other party is still unaware, smoking and chatting.
Swallowing clouds and mist in the wind and snow.
He didn't notice at all that after the searchlight swept over, a shadow was quickly approaching in the vast snow.
No danger.
This group of U.S. troops was indeed careless. Xia Yuan successfully arrived at the guard tower, quickly observed the surroundings, made sure it was safe, and slipped under the guard tower into the base built by the U.S. military in Xiajieyuli.
There was no monitoring or alarm device at this time, so Xia Yuan sneaked into the US military base in Xiajieyuli silently.
The U.S. military in the early days of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea was extremely arrogant. The Incheon landing was successful, the encirclement and suppression of the Korean People's Army was a complete victory, and the battle line was easily pushed to the 38th parallel. MacArthur even made a high-profile announcement that he would attack the Yalu River on Christmas Eve and attack Yudam-ni.
, the main force of the 1st Marine Division has arrived safely, and the journey is smooth. Hajieyuli is the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division. There are a large number of tanks and machine gun carriages parked outside. In addition, reconnaissance planes continue to transmit during the day.
The intelligence came back and no enemy was found in the Changjin Lake area. At this time, the US military naturally relaxed its vigilance.
Xia Yuan observed from the periphery that although Xiajieyuli is the headquarters of the US military, there are very few warnings at night, and they are relatively densely distributed in the periphery and artillery positions. There are only some patrols in the camp, and the rest of the warning posts are only so
One or two.
Relying on his night vision ability, he quickly observed the U.S. troops around him, made sure it was safe, ducked and sneaked through, and quickly approached the enemy's tank company. A layer of snow fell on the rows of tanks, as if they were covered with silver.
, there are many burning braziers next to it.
Xia Yuan just looked at it quietly, quickly left the tank without making a sound, and continued to touch inside.
Although the tank is good, it cannot drive by itself.
Passing by tents, the sound of American soldiers snoring could be heard. They were sleeping in warm duck down sleeping bags. There were lit braziers in the tents to keep warm. Rifles were leaning against the bedside one by one. Equipment was taken off all over the floor. Tables
There were a lot of leftover food scraps on the floor, even chicken legs, and minced meat scraps scattered everywhere. Some of the bones had not been chewed clean, and there was still a lot of meat. The half-eaten cans that were opened were thrown aside.
Drink the rest of the coffee and stub out the half-smoked cigarette.
Xia Yuan withdrew his gaze. This is the gap between the volunteers and the US military, especially in terms of logistical supplies.
The U.S. military can directly airdrop or transport them by transport aircraft. During this period, the volunteers' logistics supplies were difficult. The U.S. military used its advantage in the air to block the roads on the logistics supply lines and bombed the logistics supply lines every day. According to post-war statistics, about 100,000 logistics personnel died in logistics alone.
There were 70,000, close to 80,000 people, and as many as 110,000 to 120,000 soldiers died on the front line.
"If our army had such strong logistical supplies and weapons and equipment, it would have reached Washington long ago."
Xia Yuan cursed in his heart, the treatment of these American devils was really good. Compared with the volunteers, they were worlds apart. He looked back and quickly left the American camp.
He walked through the dark corners of Xiajieyu. Although he was injured, it still could not affect his speed.
"The US military has so many ammunition depots here."
Along the way, Xia Yuan came across five or six large and small ammunition depots, which contained a large number of weapons and ammunition. These weapons and ammunition were used to replenish ammunition for rifles and light and heavy machine guns. These things would be useless if they exploded.
The U.S. military's logistical supplies can be brought back in one day.
In the Battle of Changjin Lake, the tactic used by the U.S. military was ring tactics. The conditions for dealing with this tactic were either strong heavy firepower, sufficient personnel to consume, or time spent with the enemy to surround the U.S. military.
The Volunteer Army soldiers at that time did not have these three conditions. Needless to say, heavy firepower. What the Volunteer Army lacked was the most effective and direct heavy firepower. The personnel consumption was even more impossible. As for the time consumption, encircling the US military to death was more than the personnel consumption.
impossible.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the Battle of Changjin Lake started, the US military could use the daytime to airdrop supply boxes to the frontline troops, with a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food. This was the logistics of the US military and the siege
They can't beat the attrition. On the other hand, on the Volunteer Army's side, the Ninth Corps' front line stretched to Changjin Lake, and the logistics line was directly stretched. The US military bombed during the day and at night. There were 70,000 to 80,000 casualties in the logistics alone. They could be sent to
The supplies on the front line can be imagined.
The Volunteer Army did not fail to consider concentrating heavy firepower to destroy the enemy's circular tactical center point, where a large number of U.S. artillery shells were stored.
However, the amount of heavy firepower of the Volunteers at that time was limited, and if they blew up the artillery shell reserve at the US military center tonight, two US military aircraft would be able to replenish it the next day. However, after our army bombed, there would not be enough heavy firepower to cover the soldiers' breakthrough.
On the US military's defense line, more people will die by then.
This is a real gap, a gap that cannot be bridged. You must know that the New China was not long established at that time, and there was a lot of waste to be built. The factory still had the facade of a handicraft shop, so it was considered a factory.
You can't feel the difference just by describing it in words. Xia Yuan only advanced more than two hundred meters in the US military base and saw the US military's heavy artillery, tanks, machine gun vehicles and individual soldier configurations, and he felt it deeply.
This gap is like a divine punishment lying in the middle.
This is a collision of flesh and steel.
"The motherland will become stronger and stronger! Sooner or later, we will catch up with this gap!"
Xia Yuan breathed softly at the white mist, stopped in front of a tent, and opened a gap in the tent next to him. Boxes piled up like a mountain filled the entire tent, almost as tall as him.
These boxes were filled with cans, which made Xia Yuan greedy.
"Grandma, try to get some out!"
Guns and ammunition are okay. Although the volunteers lack heavy firepower, the country's arsenal can still produce bullets. However, food is a serious problem.
Fried noodles and potatoes are simple foods, and their nutritional value is not as high as a can of the enemy. If you eat fried noodles for a long time, your mouth will burn out with blood bubbles and get angry.
If you can get a batch of supplies shipped back, it will be of great help to your team!
After much thought, Xia Yuan decided to be on the safe side first. Now was not the time to think about this. When he was just observing, he came up with a brilliant idea.
