After receiving the order from his superiors, Zhou Qingfeng left the rapid column to the command of "Old Machine Gun". He drove a jeep and personally took more than 300 trucks back to Gutuli.
It only takes two or three hours to cover dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, and there are a large number of volunteer soldiers on the road responsible for directing and clearing the roads. It is said that the results of the Xingnan Offensive completely alarmed the Ninth Corps, and the 58th and 59th Divisions that originally surrounded Xiajieyuli were all
Each sent a regiment to provide support.
When the car arrived at Gutu-ri, Zhou Qingfeng discovered that this place had just been bombed. It must have been a US military B-26 from Wonsan Airport a hundred kilometers away. The incendiary bombs dropped destroyed a large warehouse.
"Don't worry, we have emptied those warehouses. We are just pretending to be there." The person who came to pick up Zhou Qingfeng was a political commissar of the 59th Division. When they met, he shook hands tightly and said: "Young man, you
You have done a great job. On behalf of all the soldiers in the division, I would like to thank you!"
Zhou Qingfeng was not familiar with the people of the 59th Division, so he could only respond with a few simple words. But the veteran soldier on the opposite side, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, put his hands hard and choked, "If it weren't for the heavy artillery you brought, we would really have encircled you."
The enemies inside are powerless."
According to the battle report, the 1st Marine Division in Hajieyuli built an airport, continuously transported the wounded from the air and obtained supplies of weapons and ammunition. The firepower advantage was overwhelming. The large number of besieged volunteer divisions was useless.
, I was stunned that I couldn't attack it, but suffered heavy casualties.
As soon as the howitzers and heavy mortars seized from Gutu were in place, the Americans immediately experienced the feeling of being bombarded. The most important thing was to paralyze their airport and cut off their access to supplies. There was no continuous supply.
With the ammunition, the besieged US troops immediately retracted their positions and became much more obedient.
While talking to the division political commissar, Zhou Qingfeng also saw a large group of soldiers busy repairing the buildings in the ancient soil. But judging from the roughness of their construction, they were obviously false targets to attract enemy bombings. His jeep continued to drive forward, and soon
Arrive at a hidden gathering place.
"We are now coming from one camp to another. Those who come are all beggars, and those who leave are rich people." The division political commissar introduced with a smile, "I heard that you have brought more than 300 carts of equipment. What are they?
?”
"It's mainly the US military's field coats, military trousers, shoes, hats and gloves, as well as food and drink supplies for the US military. I think these things should be the most in short supply," Zhou Qingfeng said.
"Shortage, indeed shortage." The division political commissar couldn't wait to see the loading and unloading of the vehicles. Immediately after the unloaded packaging boxes were opened, someone came to collect them. The bitter soldiers finally had a smile. The convoy did not stop, unloading one vehicle.
If you take one, you still have to go to Xingnan Port to grab the goods.
"The American clothes are really good, warm and light. I like their gloves the most, they can solve a big problem." The division political commissar raised his hand and showed Zhou Qingfeng the sheepskin gloves he was wearing, "I don't have any gloves, my hands
If you hold the rifle, a layer of skin will stick to it and freeze off."
A layer of skin is frozen off? It’s more than just a layer of skin! If you can’t shoot, your life will be frozen. Imagine that the soldiers can’t even fire their guns when they attack the enemy. What is the scene like?
The car continued to drive and passed by a medical center. Dozens of captured US military doctors and a large number of volunteer medical staff were busy. The place was full of blood and screams. From time to time, someone could be heard shouting: "Is there any more morphine? In stock."
How many bottles of morphine do you have left?”
There was a basket at the door of the medical center, inside which were amputated arms or thighs. The blood was frozen on the basket, and ice crystals were hung on it. Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be paying attention to the wounded in the medical center, the division political commissar said sadly but gratifiedly:
"This is the best case scenario."
"How many people need amputation?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
"Many, many." The division political commissar couldn't give an exact number, but he said with certainty: "Without the US military medical company you captured, our soldiers wouldn't even be able to amputate their limbs. And if it weren't for the US military medical company you captured,
Winter clothing, more soldiers will need amputations."
"I heard that a company froze to death because it was lying in ambush in the snow?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again.
These words were sad, but the political commissar of the division still nodded, "Yes, some companies froze to death because they refused to retreat, and some companies froze to death because of ambushes. There are also a large number of soldiers marching and camping,
We suffered non-combat attrition during the battle. We really suffered heavy losses."
"Since the losses are so heavy, has the Corps ever considered that this battle should not be fought?" This is a question that has been lingering in Zhou Qingfeng's mind for a long time. Thinking of the large number of loyal and fearless soldiers who died in vain because of a series of wrong decisions, he thought
I feel very uncomfortable.
Even..., Zhou Qingfeng also resented Taizu. The rush of the Ninth Corps to enter the court was closely related to Taizu's desire for the volunteers to kill the 1st Marine Division. If he could slow down for a few days or even a few seconds on the way to the battlefield,
Even an hour is fine!
The jeep continued to move forward, and the division political commissar took Zhou Qingfeng away from Gutuli. Their destination was to bypass the battlefield and go to the headquarters of the Ninth Corps. The reason why Zhou Qingfeng did not leave the dungeon immediately was actually because he wanted to see Xiajieyuli.
Liutan-ri and these two places are the main battlefields of Changjin Lake.
The division political commissar did not answer Zhou Qingfeng's questions immediately. He seemed confused, unwilling, angry, and thinking. Finally, when the day was about to break, the two of them arrived at Xiajieyuli. Zhou Qingfeng strongly asked to get out of the car and take a look at the battlefield.
The place he worked so hard to save.
The battle continued all night, and both sides fought very hard, fighting for every hilltop, every position, and every foxhole. The troops who had rested in the ancient soil returned by car and immediately launched an attack with high morale. On the other hand,
The US military is consciously retreating step by step.
Shelling, shooting, bombing, hand-to-hand fighting, the most rational madness of mankind is taking place on the battlefield, everyone wants to kill the other party. Zhou Qingfeng climbed up a mountain that had been captured and looked into the valley of Xiajieyu with a telescope.
There are scores of American troops resisting the volunteer army's attack.
On this battlefield of flesh and blood, solemnity and mania, indifference and passion, honor and tragedy are intertwined. At this moment, the sky suddenly lights up with a faint light, and a red sun is slowly rising. And behind the red sun
, several enemy planes roared over.
On this battlefield of blood and fire, the political commissar who had been silent for a long time suddenly said: "We did make many mistakes in this battle, mistakes that are extremely regrettable when we think about it afterwards. In order to undo these mistakes, we have to
Make huge sacrifices.
Wrong is wrong, and we won’t make too many excuses. But what if we just stare at these mistakes? How can a person not make mistakes? How can a battle not make mistakes? How can a country not make mistakes? Can you find a way to never make mistakes?
exists?
Before the final result of the matter is reached, who can know whether mistakes are the only way to success? If you don't fight the United States head-on, how can you know how powerful the US military is? It is also beneficial to make mistakes early, and it is easier to correct them.
The key is whether we learn lessons after making mistakes and make sacrifices worthwhile. At least we did not cry and regret after making mistakes and hesitate to move forward. We still have to fight the Americans, and we still have to continue to strengthen ourselves. No matter it is ten years or two
Ten years, fifty years, one hundred years, we will still become rich and powerful step by step!"
Judging from the thoughts of Zhou Qingfeng's future generations, he would definitely not be willing to make a needless sacrifice. If he were asked to die, he would definitely shake his head. But these ancestors in front of him came from the old world full of disasters. They really took life and death lightly, and only
For the country’s tomorrow.
Slander, slander, ridicule, ridicule, think about it, China will still experience too many mistakes and tribulations in the next sixty years, and the right path to return to the top of the world is full of thorns. And all the mistakes that have occurred in these sixty years have
Worthless?
Can a person never make mistakes in his growing years? Are mistakes worthless? Failure is the mother of success. It is better to move forward than to regret!
With the sun rising in the sky, looking at the long river flowing in the mountains, Zhou Qingfeng, who was depressed, suddenly burst into laughter. A sentence came up in his mind - the red sun rises, its path is bright; the river flows out, and the ocean flows;
The hidden dragon soared into the abyss, its scales and claws flying...
"It is meaningless to just complain about the shortcomings and mistakes of the past. It will not show how wise you are. In fact, I should be glad that I can not only see the tenderness of the motherland's first attempts to cry, but also experience the majesty of its dominion over the world. I am just a little person,
Instead of regretting and complaining so much, it’s better to be yourself.”
After all, China... has a vast future and a long future, and it is worth walking with us.
