At the meeting held by the 38th Army, Fan Tianen, the new commander of the 335th Regiment, was very enthusiastic about the upcoming Korean War. He had considerable military research. The reason why he wanted to lead troops to fight was that he understood that the US military was
The most powerful military in the world, with many advanced technologies.
He wants to learn the thinking of the US military in actual combat against US imperialism and further master the laws of war under modern conditions in order to cope with future army building.
At the meeting, he was very enthusiastic and challenged the leader of the 338th Regiment.
The 338th Regiment is the main force and has strong combat effectiveness. To challenge him is to increase the fighting enthusiasm and motivation of the soldiers in the competition.
The 338th Regiment agreed and came down.
Although they were competing, they both competed and helped each other during the Korean War, and made great achievements.
After the meeting, within two days, all officers and soldiers of the 38th Army held a swearing-in meeting in Tieling, Changtu, Kaiyuan and other places to "Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Defend the Home and the Country."
This is the final stage of preparations for war.
At the meeting, Comrade Xing Ze, political commissar of the 335th Regiment, put forward a loud slogan at the whole regiment meeting: "Strive to create a model regiment!"
The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and the crowd was excited.
The warm applause lasted forever.
The swearing-in ceremony was over, but every soldier's heart felt like it was on fire.
After going back, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
The day of the cooking class was still the same as before. They were busy preparing meals for the company. Old Liu set up the big pot, Xia Yuan burned firewood, Xiao Heping, Zhou Mao and other soldiers prepared the evening meal. Old Liu started
Pour oil into the hot pan, and steaming white mist spreads into the sky.
"It's getting cold."
Xiao Heping tightened his clothes and shivered inexplicably.
"It's cold, so wear more clothes." Old Liu said: "When we get to North Korea, it's probably the end of the year, and maybe it's going to snow over there. No one knows what the situation will be like there.
When you should be ready, be ready."
As he spoke, he poured the chopped fat into the pot, refined the oil, picked up the oil residue and set it aside to cool, and put the hot oil in an iron basin.
Leave a little lard in the pot, add the ingredients, and start stir-frying.
"What the squad leader said is that our good days have not yet begun, and the American Japanese will come over, but we cannot let them come in." Zhou Mao picked vegetables and said to everyone.
When it comes to traveling to North Korea, everyone seems to have endless things to talk about.
Going abroad to fight is very vague to many people, and it is a war with the world's most powerful country. Everyone seems to have a cat's paw scratching in their hearts, and they can't wait to go to the battlefield, Wei Guo Steam Pot.
Xia Yuan sat next to the warm flame and listened to the elder Liu: "Add more firewood and make the fire bigger."
This pot is for the soldiers of the whole company to eat. It is full of dishes and needs a high fire to cook.
Xia Yuan listened, filled the pot with firewood, and looked at the soldiers stationed at the station, feeling quite bored.
It was getting late. Instructor Hu came over and took Old Liu to the side to talk. Old Liu waved his hand: "Instructor, I am not good at that. If I don't go, I will just be a cook."
Instructor Hu was unhappy, "If you are a cook, you are still a cook in the army. If you say you are, you are."
Old Liu was still not happy, so Instructor Hu had no choice but to say: "You are the model representative of the whole group. You just want to give everyone a good start. Why are you so annoying?"
Having said that, Old Liu still hesitated, "We were just farmers before. How could we do such a thing? Instructor, please don't embarrass me."
Instructor Hu sighed and had to leave.
The soldiers from the cooking squad gathered around and asked what was going on.
Old Liu shook his head and said, "Let's go cook some food. What are you doing here? Come on, dinner will be served later."
Seeing that the elder Liu refused to talk, everyone stopped asking and started to prepare the pot.
As time goes by, the weather gets colder, and the troops become more solemn. Combat units spend less and less time chatting and fighting, and they devote themselves to intense training every day.
The cooking class is just like the same, they also need to prepare meals for the company.
It was a beautiful day early in the morning. The sun rose early in the morning and dispersed the fog in the village. Company Commander Sun blew his whistle and the soldiers quickly gathered. Just when everyone thought they were about to rush to the battlefield, the company commander pulled them
Suddenly came to the playground.
Only then did I see that a stage had been set up on the playground at some point.
"All-Army Fighting Heroes Congress" was written in white letters on a red background above the stage. Only then did everyone realize that they were being called to a meeting.
The representative made a solemn oath on the stage: "We are lovers of peace. We not only have the determination and strength to defend peace, but also firmly support the Korean people's struggle against the aggressors!"
The congress also elected representatives to attend the National Conference of Representatives of Fighting Heroes.
"That's Battalion Commander Cao, an old fighting hero and the pride of our regiment."
Xiao Heping knew that Xia Yuan had just joined the army and was unfamiliar with many people, so he took the initiative to introduce Xia Yuan.
Instructor Hu sat next to them and told Xia Yuan and the others: "Battle Commander Cao has a very high ideological consciousness. When he returned to the army, the regiment headquarters asked him to stay at the headquarters, but he insisted on leading troops in the camp, so he served as the third officer.
The commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 42nd Regiment is a fighting hero in the Liberation War with great military exploits. You can learn from him and strive to make great achievements when you arrive in North Korea."
Xiao Heping said: "Instructor, don't worry, we will definitely make contributions!"
Battalion Commander Cao's name is Cao Yuhai. After the war, he went home to prepare for a blind date and found a fiancée. He thought they would live like ordinary people, get married soon, have a child, and live a life of a wife and children.
.
When the Korean War broke out, the Military Commission issued an order for volunteers to go to Korea, shattering all plans.
Cao Yuhai had to return to the army early. When leaving, the woman wrote him a letter. She left in a hurry and didn't have time to read it. When she arrived at the army, she was so busy that she forgot about it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He participated in the combat hero congress held by the army as an old combat hero.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the letter from his fiancée. When he left Hankou, the woman sincerely made a request for marriage. Like most cadres, he did not agree and advised her not to wait for him.
At that time, the girl was silent and looked at her passionate lover with tears in her eyes, not knowing how to express her pure heart.
When Cao Yuhai left his hometown, she wrote a letter and stuffed it into Cao Yuhai's luggage.
Cao Yuhai was very experienced as a commander and combatant. He knew that after the Congress was convened, it would not be long before they would go to the Korean battlefield.
This seems to be a consistent tradition.
After the conference, Cao Yuhai returned to his residence, rummaged through his luggage from home, and found the wrinkled letter with a photo inside.
Yuhai, my dear:
When I think about leaving tomorrow, my heart feels like it's being torn apart.
Since I met you, I know how a person should live. However, after all, I still pay too much attention to personal happiness. Your criticism is completely correct. You are right: "It's not that I don't need happiness. I'm not born to fight."
, but for the sake of peace and the happiness of the working people of the world, I am going to fight."
My dear, you are absolutely right! I only hate the American devils for depriving us of our happiness. Let me tell you again, I love you even more!
Who knows when we can meet again, but I have to wait, wait, wait for you to come back victorious. I embroidered a pair of pillows for you, please take it with you, just like I am by your side... I always
I will have some free time, my dear, be sure to write a letter, even if it is just one word.
(This letter is real. It is a letter written by a fiancée to her fiancé who is about to go to the Korean battlefield)
The girl's heartfelt words struck Cao Yuhai's heart, making him feel his blood boiling all over. He opened the small bag again, which was a pair of white pillows, with a few delicate words embroidered on them - never-changing heart.
It is the girl's heart and also entrusts the girl's hope. People in this era are innocent. They have just experienced feudal society and suddenly transformed into socialist society. A girl expresses her love so boldly. How much does she need?
Courage and determination.
Cao Yuhai was so excited that tears filled his eyes. This was such a pure and noble feeling, and it was such a love that he could not refuse.
However, as a commander and combatant, he was deeply aware of the power of US imperialism and that the Korean War would be more cruel than any war he had ever participated in. However, they firmly believed in the victory of the Korean War, but they could not guarantee their 'victorious return'.
Delaying a girl's youth will make her heart feel very guilty.
He decided not to hesitate anymore, endured the pain in his heart, and leaned on the kang to write a letter to the girl.
At this time, deputy battalion commander Yao Yurong came back from a meeting in the regiment. Seeing Cao Yuhai's unusual appearance, he asked: "What are you doing?"
Before Cao Yuhai covered the finished letter, Yao Yurong saw a corner of it and said with a smile: "You wrote a letter to your sweetheart, right?"
Knowing that the deputy battalion commander had seen it, Cao Yuhai sighed, handed the photo to Yao Yurong, and said, "What do you think of this girl?"
Yao Yurong looked at the photo in his hand and looked at it. She was a very handsome girl in white clothes, black skirt, neat short hair, and beautiful face. He gave a thumbs up in envy and said:
"You are so beautiful. You are so lucky."
Cao Yuhai frowned, with a painful look on his face. Yao Yurong was a little surprised when he saw his rare appearance: "You have been so cheerful all day, what happened to you today?"
They had been fighting together for many years. In the past days and nights filled with bullets and bullets, and when he was injured several times and underwent surgery, he had never seen Cao Yuhai show such an expression.
Cao Yuhai suddenly stood up, his eyes widened angrily, and he gnashed his teeth and roared: "The Eight-Nation Allied Forces are so hateful, I want to eat their flesh!"
The Eight-Nation Allied Forces is the nickname given by Cao Yuhai to the United Nations Army. It seems to be the same as the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' invasion of the Old Summer Palace. Now the United Nations forces are at home again. If left unchecked, they will probably enter China again just like the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.
"These Eight-Nation Allied Forces are killing people and setting fires in North Korea. We don't know how long it will take us to leave, let alone whether we can come back. I want to write to her and ask her to make other plans."
Yao Yurong figured out the whole story and asked him: "You don't love her anymore?"
"I will love her till my death."
Cao Yuhai replied firmly that he had begun to face his own heart.
Yao Yurong asked again: "Does that mean she doesn't love you anymore?"
"She wants to wait for my triumphant return!"
"That's alright. You love her and she's waiting for you. Isn't that just right?" Yao Yurong smiled, "The little Japanese devil and Bald Jiang are full of bullets to take care of you. Why don't you live well and relax?"
, fight this battle well, come back victorious, and marry her home."
After receiving political and ideological education and introduction to the enemy's situation in the army, most cadres have a relatively clear understanding of the opponents participating in this war.
But there are also some comrades who only think that our troops have always been invincible and invincible in civil wars. As long as we enter the DPRK, we can push the enemy into the sea within three months. With this kind of blind optimism, we can see that
The hardship, complexity and protracted nature of this war cannot be underestimated.
In response to this blindly optimistic thinking, the army has launched a series of countermeasures.
The time to enter the DPRK seems to be getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere above the 38th Army's station has become somewhat solidified. Meetings of various sizes have been held continuously in the past few days.
In response to the blind optimism of the troops, instructor Hu was not idle. He went to the regiment headquarters for a meeting and came back after the meeting. He worked non-stop with all the company cadres and held a meeting. After discussions at the meeting, the company cadres deeply realized their mistakes.
As commanders and combatants, they should never infect their troops with this blind optimism.
This is wrong.
Then Liu, the elder, smoked a dry cigarette and returned to the cooking class' residence. "Everyone, come out and have a short meeting."
Everyone came out of the house, a little surprised.
Old Liu lit up the dry cigarette and said: "Everyone is in a good mood these days."
"That's not a bad idea, I'm going to North Korea soon."
"Yes, we are going out to bring glory to our country."
"Monitor, what's going on?"
The elder Liu blew out a smoke ring and said: "It is a good thing to win glory for the country, but we should be more vigilant. Think about it, U.S. imperialism is the most powerful country in the world. They have been establishing the country for so long. Our New China
It has just been established, so we should not be blind and careless. Think about the liberation war, it was a bloody lesson."
"U.S. imperialism is a paper tiger, but it is still a tiger after all. A rat will bite when it gets angry."
"Besides, this is a different place for us in North Korea. It was our first time to go to North Korea to fight. Who knows the situation there. It might be completely different from that at home. We may not be able to adapt. When we should be cautious, we should be even more cautious."
"If we lose this battle, it will be a shame for our country."
Everyone listened carefully.
Xia Yuan was thoughtful.
The company commander and the others have obviously done some ideological work for Big Old Liu. You must know that Big Old Liu was not like this before.
Just as meetings of all sizes were being held, the regiment headquarters held a meeting of cadres above the battalion level to discuss the difficulties encountered when entering the DPRK.
