Xia Yuan led the soldiers very close to the enemy's tent, and could hear the chatter of the alert American soldiers very clearly.
The soldiers couldn't understand the chirping, so they stared at it very cautiously, lay down on the ground, and moved forward cautiously.
The layout of the US military's garrison is very simple. Armored vehicles and tanks are placed on the periphery. There are no barbed wires and no mines. It is basically possible to judge the US military's thoughts. When daybreak, they can set off directly.
The basis is still that they firmly believe that the Chinese will not attack them.
The thoughts are too absolute and the actions are too dangerous.
However, the 180th Division was no longer able to muster a strong offensive to deal with the U.S. forces behind it. Now, the 180th Division had no choice but to break out toward Yingfeng in the northwest.
Four divisions, nearly 100,000 people. The 180th Division has been fighting until now. Although there are 10,000 people, that is after including all the people. The units that can fight are far less than 10,000 people. For example, the 539th Regiment,
There were 4,000 people when they entered Korea to fight, including logistics, operations, cadres, medical, etc., and the combat unit may have only 2,000 people, or even less than 2,000 people.
So far, the number of combatants is less than 1,000.
This scene reminded Xia Yuan of the time when he was in the expeditionary force, when two or three Japanese divisions chased the 100,000 expeditionary force and routed it, including the British army.
The Japanese army pursued like crazy, but the strength of the Japanese army was far inferior to that of the expeditionary force and the British army. As for the crazy pursuit of the US military, the US military was far superior to the volunteers in terms of weapons, equipment and numbers. They had the capital to pursue madly, even without defense at night.
"The strength of this US military force is at least a battalion-level combat team."
Xia Yuan quickly judged the approximate strength of the US military based on the degree of US military presence he observed.
"Supplies should be in the rear, or in the middle. The possibility of being in the middle is very low."
U.S. military supplies are generally transported by trucks, with infantry and tanks clearing the way in front, and supply trucks following behind. When the U.S. military is stationed, they usually choose a labor-saving method and simply put the supplies on the vehicle without loading or unloading, so that they can continue tomorrow.
go ahead.
Considering the scope of the highway, if the US military trucks want to park in the middle, the number of camps in the middle will inevitably be much less dense than the camps in front and behind. The scope of the highway area is really limited.
Observing that the density of camps in the middle of the US military station was equal to the density of the camps they visited along the way, we can basically judge that the US military trucks must be parked behind the troops.
These are all details that need to be observed and taken into consideration.
"Company commander, where did the foreign devils put the supplies?" Wu Liang followed Xia Yuan closely, staring at the US military station cautiously. They were only more than 20 meters away from the US military station, and they could see the foreign devils at the US military station.
Their figures were shaking, but strangely no one noticed them.
He suppressed his voice and asked curiously.
Wu Liang had many questions in his mind, but now was not the time to ask questions.
"Go to the back, throw in some supplies and leave."
Xia Yuan has thought about it, the amount of supplies should not be too much, and it should not be taken away, and it should not be too little, because it is related to tomorrow's battle.
I barely managed to reach the back. Trucks were parked on both sides of the road. There were scattered camps among them. They should be the camps where the US military truck drivers slept. There were very few guard posts. As far as I could see, there were only three posts.
There are three American soldiers standing guard at one guard post.
Looking from a distance, there was the light of cigarettes in the darkness, and their voices could be vaguely heard.
"The guards of the foreign devils are really lax. They just threw so many supplies on the roadside without even looking at them."
The soldiers were very surprised. They had already reached under the wheels of the truck before they saw the US military guard post in the distance. Moreover, the US military guard post was simply too loose. They were carrying guns on their backs, holding cigarettes in their mouths, and chatting.
, without the slightest awareness of being on the battlefield.
"What are you doing standing around, moving supplies!"
Xia Yuan patted Wu Liang's head, climbed onto the truck, grabbed a box of things and threw it down.
Wu Liang looked stunned.
What kind of method is this for getting supplies?
The soldiers were also very surprised. This was the first time they had seen this method of collecting supplies.
"Hao Guangjiu, Wu Ba, you two go on guard!"
Xia Yuan suppressed his voice and moved another box of supplies. Without even looking at what was inside, he said, "Do not shoot unless it is absolutely necessary."
Hao Guangjiu and Wu Ba responded, lying on the grass in front of the truck with their guns in hand, staring at the American soldiers in the distance.
The soldiers moved several boxes in succession, moving very lightly, and hid them in the bushes not far away. They were nervous and excited at the same time. What was nervous was that they had never done such an exciting thing. What was exciting was that they thought it would be inevitable.
It took a fierce battle to obtain supplies, but I didn't expect that they were obtained so easily.
It's too outrageous.
After moving more than a dozen boxes in a row, Xia Yuan jumped out of the car, said "withdraw" in a low voice, and waved to Hao Guangjiu and Wu Ba in the distance.
In one breath, they retreated to a bush about fifty years away and lay down on the opposite slope. The soldiers excitedly put the boxes on the ground and looked at each other in disbelief, their hearts still beating violently.
"Did you get the supplies now?"
"Too simple."
The soldiers couldn't believe it, but they left with the supplies so easily.
Wu Liang smiled and said: "Hey, what's this? The company commander took me, Wang Huzi, and the instructor. The four of us attacked the American enemy's position, moved away a lot of supplies, and defeated a company of Japanese soldiers.
I can’t even lift my head.”
"sharp!"
The soldiers praised him one after another.
"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly."
Xia Yuan used his bayonet to open the box, grabbed the cans inside and threw them to everyone. When he dug in, he knew from the packaging outside the boxes that these boxes contained canned food.
"Company commander, can we bring some to the comrades behind us?"
The soldiers grabbed the cans in their hands and swallowed hard, but they thought more about their comrades behind them.
"You must bring it, but if you don't eat enough, how can you carry the supplies? Eat quickly and don't leave any marks."
Xia Yuan opened the jar, touched a branch on the ground, broke it in the middle and used it as chopsticks, and ate it with big mouthfuls. As he ate, he said: "Eat more. We will go get supplies later. We can only do it once. We are done."
It will be daybreak."
When the soldiers heard Xia Yuan's words, they couldn't help it. They didn't even look for chopsticks. They opened the can and grabbed it with their hands. They tried their best to show off the meat and vegetables in the can into their mouths. They were really too excited.
Hungry.
“So delicious!”
The soldiers' mouths were filled to the brim, and they were moaning so hard that they couldn't speak, and oily water was all over their mouths.
They didn't have any image of eating. They sat on the ground with their heads buried. They put their hands into the jars and stuffed them into their mouths. Some of the candies were not peeled off, but they chewed them in big mouths. After chewing, they chewed them into balls.
Spit out the sugar crust.
The soldiers were so hungry. They had been without food for several days. The best meal they had was probably boiled wild vegetables, but it was not as rich as they imagined.
After the continuous fighting and running around, everyone was exhausted and couldn't muster any strength. Because of hunger, their steps became weak. They all relied on drinking water to persist until now.
The delicious canned lunch meat almost melted on their tongues.
Nothing else, it tastes salty and mushy, but the taste is really delicious. I don't chew it and just keep stuffing it into my mouth.
Everyone didn't say anything. They sat on the ground and put milk in their mouths. The soldiers' mouths bulged, and oil flowed from the corners of their mouths to the ground.
"Eat slowly, eat two cans per person, don't eat too much, drink some water after eating."
Xia Yuan said, kicking Wu Liang and Wang Huzi, "Go, be on guard."
The two of them were the first to enjoy the delicious canned food. They were full earlier. They drank a lot of canned soup along the way. They were not very hungry and ate slowly.
The two people who were kicked by Xia Yuan were holding guns and lying on the grass, eating and keeping watch.
The soldiers ate very quickly. In less than a minute, they ate a can of canned food into their stomachs. They choked all over. The canned soup was very salty, but they didn't care. They ate the canned food cleanly and got a little soup.
Don't let it go and swallow it all into your stomach.
"Take it after you finish it. Don't be polite. Eat it quickly. Each person can eat two cans. Don't eat more. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."
Two cans of canned food can satisfy the soldiers who have been hungry for a long time. They are too nutritionally deficient, but if they have not eaten for a long time, they should not eat too much in the first place and eat as little as possible.
It's almost enough to eat until you're seven-tenths full.
After using the first can of canned food as a base, when everyone ate the second canned canned food, everyone no longer looked like they did before. After wiping the oil stains on their hands on the grass, they cut off branches to make chopsticks, but the speed was still not slow.
After eating, everyone sat comfortably on the ground, untied their tightly strangled stomachs, and then let out a long breath.
Instead of throwing away the jars, they collected them and used them as cooking bowls.
"What are you doing with it? Throw it away immediately."
Xia Yuan saw them picking up the cans, scolded them, and continued: "We will have to move supplies later, and this time we will move more. If the cans are placed on us, if they make a sound and expose us, who can afford it?"
Get up and throw it away quickly, there are plenty of jars, don’t miss these."
When the soldiers heard Xia Yuan's words, they threw away the cans they carried.
"The materials we will move will be placed here. We will go back after sorting them out. We can't waste any more time."
Xia Yuan called Wang Huzi and Wu Liang back again and asked about the situation.
"Same as before, the foreign devils didn't notice us at all. They didn't know it yet, and we stole all their supplies."
Wu Liang said happily.
These foreign devils were too stupid. I was hiding right under their noses, and these foreign devils couldn't even see me. I even lost so much material without noticing it.
"I felt it when we were fighting the American devils."
"If we had planes and cannons, we would have reached their doorstep long ago."
The soldiers said one after another.
The combat effectiveness of the American devils is indeed not very good. They rely on human wave tactics and the blessing of various heavy firepower. Without these, as the soldiers said, the American devils' infantry alone is nothing.
The soldiers have been fighting the American devils for more than a day or two. They know best what their opponents are like.
Xia Yuan also agreed with the soldiers' thoughts in his heart.
Americans fought very hard and tenaciously in World War II, and had many bright moments. However, World War II caused heavy casualties to the U.S. military. Those who were truly not afraid of death were almost exhausted in World War II. Most of the U.S. soldiers who arrived on the Korean battlefield were new recruits, and
It is similar to the way of the national army, relying on military pay to manage the army.
This can easily breed old fritters who only take money but don't work hard.
"Don't make any noise, be careful."
Xia Yuan warned, feeling very reassured about the soldiers. These are veteran soldiers who have been tempered by the flames of war. They are all very skilled. The bloody scenes like stepping on a jar and accidentally falling down in the movie will basically not happen.
They crouched close to the U.S. military truck.
"Go, get up there and see what's in the car."
Xia Yuan felt some pain in his legs, which was caused by the previous strenuous exercise. The task of climbing the car was still left to the soldiers.
"Others stay alert!"
Their targets are grenades and bullets. If there are bazookas, bring two or three, and a few rounds of shells will be enough. In critical moments, you still have to rely on grenades and guns.
The two soldiers moved very vigorously. They held the car with both hands and climbed up easily. They pulled out the bayonets from their waists and pried open the box. Each yellow-orange bullet came into view.
"7.62 bullets, that's it, move! Move five boxes!"
Xia Yuan lowered his voice and asked two soldiers to carry down five boxes. He winked at the soldiers beside him and said, "Take it back."
"yes!"
Five soldiers carried ammunition and quickly got into the bushes.
"Look for grenades and bazookas."
Xia Yuan suppressed his voice and shouted again.
The two soldiers used bayonets to pry open other boxes and found the grenades, but there was no sign of the bazooka.
"No matter what, grenades are fine too, just move fifteen boxes of grenades!"
Grenades are very important at critical moments. Bullets can be seized from the corpses of US troops, but the amount of grenades replenished is very small. When the US military attacks, grenades can play a key decisive point.
Even if you are at a disadvantage in battle, grenades can still be the key to determining victory or defeat as long as they are used stably.
Fifteen boxes of grenades are nothing to the US military, but they are crucial to them. It was the first time for the soldiers to steal supplies like this, and they seemed very excited. Each of them carried a box of grenades and ran towards the back.
"It's not advisable to move too many supplies. While there is still some time, quickly look for the bazooka. That thing is for dealing with tanks."
Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, with everyone's heads close together, suppressing his voice, and conveyed the message to them in a low voice.
"yes!"
The remaining soldiers were divided into three groups. They crawled close to the enemy truck, then climbed onto the truck at a position invisible to the enemy. They rummaged around and found cans. The soldiers picked up a few and put them in their arms.
Searching for each car.
Looking at the time, it's almost dawn and I can't continue searching like this.
Xia Yuan called Wang Huzi and asked him to call all the soldiers back. Unexpectedly, the comrades of the third group found a recoilless rifle while retreating.
