A few pieces of meat, everyone, you ask me, I ask you, but you don't want to eat it.
Finally, it was given to the injured elder Liu.
Xia Yuan still used absurd reasoning, "Squad leader, you have to eat this meat. Now you are a wounded person, and we all have to take care of you. What is this? This is our spirit of never abandoning or giving up. But if the wounded can't get it,
Preferential treatment. If any comrades are injured in the future, they will feel chilled. Who will dare to charge in the future?"
"That's ridiculous! Soldiers wouldn't behave like this."
Old man Liu was angry.
But what Xia Yuan said made some sense. Old Liu thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
Then he finished the meat in the bowl without saying a word.
After eating, everyone continued on their way.
The wind and snow in the mountains and forests are not as strong as those on the ridges. The wind blows in the mountains and forests and is resisted by every tree.
Xia Yuan carried the elder Liu on his back, while Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao took care of each other as translator Zhao, and the two took turns acting as scouts.
"Squad leader, highway!"
After walking for who knows how long, everyone was already quite tired. Even Xia Yuan felt his muscles ached all over. Xiao Heping's voice suddenly came from the front.
Everyone was refreshed and strode forward.
After rushing out of the woods and crossing a grassy field, a winding path came into view.
The path was covered with snow, but there were a lot of mottled marks on the ground.
It's just that these traces are covered with a thin layer of snow.
"Is he one of ours or an enemy?"
Old Liu stared at the marks on the ground, a little unsure.
"They should be enemies. There are a lot of ruts here." Xia Yuan stepped forward and observed carefully. The ruts were messy, indicating that there were a lot of cars.
Those who dare to drive arrogantly on the highway are none other than the U.S. military and the puppet troops.
But this road, not to be precise, is a mountain road. It is surrounded by steep mountains and is relatively remote. It also looks like the path their people take.
The U.S. military and puppet troops mostly used wide roads.
Xia Yuan was very cautious in his inferences. He would rather guess wrong than be rash.
"The mountains around are steep. This road is easier to walk, but we have to be careful." Old Liu looked around. There were forests on one side and steep mountains on the other. The high mountains were covered with snow and were completely white.
I don’t know if any large troops have passed through here.
At this moment, Liu really realized that they were completely lost.
"Then let's go."
Xia Yuan took a breath.
"Would you like to rest?" Old Liu asked, "You have carried me for so long."
"No need." Xia Yuan shook his head. His four-dimensional attributes were different from ordinary people, and his recovery ability was even better.
If it had been anyone else, it wouldn't have been possible to carry Old Liu far.
"Heping, find me a wooden stick." The elder Liu Buyi grabbed the wooden stick Xiao Heping found, punched it on the ground, and said, "Xia boy, put me down. This road is flat and easy to walk.
You have to maintain your strength, if there is an emergency, you will be needed."
After such a long period of observation, it was found that among the three seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, Xia Yuan had the strongest combat ability and the most mature handling methods.
Xiao Heping almost lost his temper.
Zhou Mao was pretty good, but his palms were frostbitten, and even holding the gun became a serious problem.
As for Translator Zhao, he has never encountered any emergencies. Although he is full of enthusiasm, when encountering unexpected situations, full of enthusiasm cannot solve the problem.
"good."
Xia Yuan stared at the traces on the road and nodded seriously, "I'll do the reconnaissance, and you guys will follow from behind."
"Well, pay attention to safety." Old Liu was a little worried.
Looking at Xia Yuan's back, Zhou Mao sighed and said, "Xia Yuan is much stronger than us."
Xiao Heping folded his arms and was in a daze.
Xia Yuan stepped on the thick snow and ran wildly, looking around vigilantly.
The mountain road was rugged and some sections were steep and difficult to navigate. Xia Yuan left marks on the ground and continued walking forward.
It was so dark that you couldn't see any light when you looked up. Black clouds shrouded the Korean Peninsula, and blizzards were falling like goose feathers.
Turning on night vision, the obstructed sight was better. The heavy snow seemed to be emitting a shimmer in the sight, and the whole world seemed like a dream.
Xia Yuan reached out to pick off the ice particles on his eyelashes and walked forward one step at a time.
After walking for a while, he waited at the spot. When he saw the four people behind him continuing to follow him, he walked forward with confidence.
As we move forward, the traces become fainter and fainter.
The snow fell so hard that it almost covered the traces.
"I don't know how far we have to go."
On the Korean battlefield, being disoriented is the most terrifying thing.
The mountains are high and densely forested, covered with ice and snow, and the vast expanse of white. Large troops enter the mountains and fields. Even if they leave traces, they will be flattened by the heavy snow in a short time.
"Let's go."
Xia Yuan had no destination and was heading straight ahead.
By 8:00 on November 2, the 112th Division successfully occupied the courtyard area, threatening the retreating enemy's flanks. The enemy was afraid that the 112th Division would cut off the retreat route, so under the cover of a large number of air forces, artillery and tanks, the enemy launched a full-scale offensive.
retreat.
The U.S. Second Division, Syngman Rhee's Seventh Division and other units were used to provide cover in the Geichuan and Junyu-ri areas to delay the attack of the 38th Army.
The headquarters of the 38th Army immediately ordered the 112th Division to quickly attack Junyu-ri, Anju, and Sinanju, with the intention of cutting off the enemy's connection to the rear of Suchuan via Sinanju.
The 113th Division decided at this moment to let the 338th Regiment withdraw as soon as possible. The enemy had already formed a defensive line on the front line. The volunteer army's formation also needed to be changed. It was no longer possible to intersperse in the direction of the 338th Regiment. Their positions were also exposed.
The 338th Regiment urgently needs to retreat.
However, telecommunication communication could not be reached, so the division communications section had to send cavalry communicators to deliver the message.
At this time, the 338th Regiment had just completed its detour mission and was not sure what to do next, so it urgently needed to ask the division for instructions.
The message was still sent using the previous method, but the battery of the receiver was still out of order and the message could not be received.
Comrade Zhang Fu tried his best to collect the report, but it was extremely difficult. The division's reply contained more than 120 words. After copying a lot intermittently, he finally understood the main idea of the division headquarters: "The enemy has increased its troops in large numbers, and the troops will withdraw immediately!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Comrade Zhang Fu completed his mission, he planned to return to the division headquarters. Along the way, he met a cavalry correspondent and they returned to the division headquarters together.
Because he encountered too many problems and hardships along the way, Comrade Zhang Fu felt that he had not completed the tasks assigned by his superiors perfectly, and he was quite discouraged and felt sad.
Although the 338th Regiment completed the roundabout mission, it still failed to intercept many enemies. It only intercepted the base of the enemy's tail. If he completed the mission faster, perhaps the 338th Regiment could intercept more enemies.
enemy.
After listening to Zhang Fu's report, the head of the Communications Section said happily: "Thank you for your hard work!"
This time, there were many twists and turns. Although we won many battles, we were unable to successfully complete the mission. There are many reasons for this.
The most important thing is that the volunteers are not familiar with the enemy. It is the first time for the troops to fight in North Korea. They are unfamiliar with the terrain of North Korea and are not suitable for fighting in North Korea. They should not be red-blooded when they see the enemy and must defeat him. If the enemy is left alone and allowed to advance,
.
Or a small force can be used to contain the enemy, while a large force can move straight into the designated location, making it impossible for the enemy north of the stadium to escape. The whole army has lost a lot of opportunities to annihilate the enemy due to the indiscriminate fighting.
Therefore, Comrade Zhang Fu is not entirely to blame. It is not easy for him to still complete the tasks assigned by his superiors in such a difficult environment. The division headquarters awarded Comrade Zhang Fu a commendation.
At the same time, this first battle also allowed the volunteer soldiers to intuitively see the enemy's combat effectiveness, and in comparison with it, they also realized their own shortcomings.
The leaders of the volunteer army have experienced hundreds of battles and summed up their experience in the war, and they are bound to fight well in the next battle.
Snow and wind cover the mountains.
In a narrow ravine.
Five figures moved slowly.
Once you lose your way, you will be completely lost in the complex terrain of North Korea.
now.
Xia Yuan and the others had no idea of their location.
No matter it's day or night.
In the narrow ravine, they took a short rest.
Xia Yuan checked the injury of the elder Liu, with a flash of worry on his expression, but said to the elder Liu: "The injury is recovering well. Eat more meat in the future to recover faster."
"Yeah, I told you a long time ago that my body is very fragile. I asked you not to take special care of me, but you just didn't listen." Liu said with a smile, and he was about to take out the dry cigarette from his arms and smoke it.
"Squad leader, please stop smoking. You're not feeling well yet. You can smoke again when you feel better." Xiao Heping stopped Liu.
"Okay, okay, no smoking, no smoking, you brat, you're pretty lenient," the elder Liu scolded with a smile.
Xia Yuan stood up and walked to Zhou Mao, who was in charge of the investigation. Zhou Mao asked: "How is the squad leader's injury?"
"I didn't tell the squad leader the truth just now. Without the aid of medication, the injury would not have healed so quickly. If the medication was not found, his leg would have died." Xia Yuan told Zhou Mao the truth: "Not only
In this way, after the entire leg becomes necrotic, if it is not cut off, it will affect the whole body and endanger life."
Zhou Mao's face changed, and he panicked: "Then there is nothing we can do?"
"There is a way, but I guess it's too difficult." Xia Yuan sighed and said: "We are lost now and don't know where we have gone. If we can find a large force, maybe we can be saved. Of course, if we can find the enemy, we can
OK."
"Find the enemy?" Zhou Mao was a little confused.
"The enemy has no shortage of medicine. If we can find the enemy, we can find some medicine from the enemy. With the medicine, we can treat Zhou Mao's injuries."
Xia Yuan sighed, "It's just that we have lost our way now. After walking for so long, we haven't seen any movement around us. However, the American planes are flying very diligently."
"yes."
Zhou Mao looked worriedly at the surrounding mountains and fields.
Scary high.
And covered with white snow.
They had walked for so long without much rest, their bodies were cold and their feet were soaked.
In urgent need of replenishment and rest.
Zhou Mao didn't know how long he could hold on.
Staying here, you can really feel life passing by slowly.
Xia Yuan had no choice.
Along the way, he was leading the way. In addition to searching for his own people, he was also looking for enemies.
However, the surrounding mountains are high and densely forested, and there are few people around. There is almost no trace of the enemy.
If you can find a road, you have a greater chance of finding the enemy.
"Xia Yuan, what are you thinking about?" Zhou Mao couldn't help but ask when he saw the silence and indifference on Xia Yuan's face.
"Think about it later, if we can't find a large force, we will fight guerrillas in the mountains and attack the transportation routes of the American devils."
Xia Yuan decided to continue his old career.
When it comes to acquiring Yankee supplies, no one is better than Xia Yuan.
No one is more familiar with the U.S. military than him.
"The squad leader's injury can't be delayed. You keep an eye on it during the day, and I'll go take a look around."
Xia Yuan grabbed a handful of snow, stuffed it into his mouth, and then told Zhou Mao.
"I'll go with you." Zhou Mao said.
"No, you have to stay. Translator Zhao and the squad leader both need someone to take care of them." Xia Yuan shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't go too far. I'll just go to the mountains ahead to have a look."
"That's okay." Zhou Mao couldn't persuade him and nodded, "You must be careful yourself, I won't tell the squad leader."
"Um."
Xia Yuan looked back.
In the wind and snow, the squad leader, Translator Zhao, and Xiao Heping had a layer of snow falling on their beddings. The three of them were sleeping soundly. Everyone was very tired from walking on the snow and climbing the snow-capped mountains last night.
I need a good rest today.
Nodding towards Zhou Mao, Xia Yuan stepped on the white snow and climbed to the ridge in the distance.
His physical strength was very good. He climbed halfway up the mountain in one breath without stopping to rest. He exhaled hot breath, which turned into icy cold air in his mask. He looked up at the ridge through the ice crystals on his eyelashes.
On the top of the mountain, the rays of the sun are dazzling, turning into a bright line of light, shining on the white snow on the top of the mountain, dazzling the eyes.
After gathering his composure, Xia Yuan stepped on the thick snow and continued climbing up the mountain.
Two steps, three steps, climbing up the ridge, you can see the rolling mountains and winding rivers, the wind and snow are raging, and the snow is wrapped in snow.
Xia Yuan's breath froze slightly, and he exhaled a breath of hot breath, "Where have we gone?"
At this moment, he was also a little lost.
After driving for a day and night, the road seemed completely different from what they expected. They deviated so badly from the route that they didn't even know where they were now.
"We have to reorient ourselves."
Xia Yuan looked up at the sky, calculated the direction in which the sun would rise, and estimated the directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
"He actually kept running to the east. If he kept running, he might have reached the Langlin Mountains in North Korea."
The Langrim Mountains are located in the center of northern North Korea, at the junction of South Hamgyong Province, Ryanggang Province, and Cijiang Province. The average altitude is about two thousand meters, with the south being higher and the north being lower.
Looking at the ridges in the distance, the terrain was obviously getting higher and higher, and they actually ran towards the Langlin Mountains.
This road is impassable. In winter, the Langlin Mountains are covered with ice and snow, and the climate is cold.
No wonder it was so cold as we walked all the way forward.
"We can't go any further."
Xia Yuan withdrew his gaze.
I thought this path was not going right before, but now I see it is indeed going wrong.
He wasted a lot of time going up and down the mountain. When he returned to the ravine, Zhou Mao was lying on the snow, motionless, like a snow bag. When he saw Xia Yuan coming, he stood up and asked hurriedly: "How is it? There is something on the mountain."
What?"
"There is nothing. Mountains are connected to mountains. We are going the wrong way."
Xia Yuan took a breath and glanced at Old Liu and the others, they were still sleeping.
Xia Yuan said: "Tonight, let's go west."
Zhou Mao looked back and said, "Go back the same way?"
"Well, there is no way to go south. The mountains are getting higher and higher, and the air is getting colder and colder."
