As a mid-level officer in Nanbang, Captain Li Shengxun is unlucky today. He is the acting battalion commander of the second battalion of the second regiment of the Sixth Division of Nanbang. He has been promoted to the position of battalion commander at a young age. It can be said that his future is unlimited.
.
Especially now that with the support of the Americans, the unification of the Korean peninsula by the South Korean Peninsula is just around the corner. By then, the honors will be added to the list, and Captain Lee will be the founding hero. This glory will be enough to pass down the name to future generations.
But who knew that when victory was just around the corner, a sudden disaster occurred, and the Chinese Communist Army actually appeared. Thinking about the ambush he encountered during the day, Captain Li sighed with sadness. He actually heard a description from a commander who had served in the Japanese army, saying that the Chinese Communist Army was good at
The sharp knife breakthrough tactic' is quite powerful.
The so-called "sharp knife breakthrough" means that the front-line troops have a particularly strong assault force and use close-range hand-to-hand combat to reduce losses.
Captain Li sneered when he heard this "sharp knife breakthrough" tactic. He felt that with the powerful weapons and equipment provided by the Americans, no matter how strong the assault force was, it could not be stronger than dense bullets, right? And the so-called "hand-to-hand combat" was even more of a joke.
This is a tactic that should have been eliminated long ago and is nothing to be afraid of.
But today... Captain Li's eyes have been opened!
After being captured, Captain Li was very unconvinced that his troops were defeated so quickly. He asked many prisoners, and what he got was that after the CCP's charge horn sounded, soldiers from the other side directly attacked one of his heavy machine guns.
position.
Stupid... The Chinese Communists must have suffered heavy casualties in front of the heavy machine gun positions, right? Captain Li thought so.
But the captured soldiers said that the heavy machine gun didn't even hit a single ghost. The company commander who personally controlled the heavy machine gun was stabbed to the core with a bayonet. Then the army was defeated like a mountain, and the reserve team of the Chinese Communist Army
He rushed in through the opened gap.
In just ten minutes, the entire battalion of more than 1,000 people collapsed. This is really fucking hell...!
No..., it's not that I'm too incompetent, it's that the Chinese Communist Army's 'sharp knife breakthrough' tactic is really powerful. They broke through their own lines ten minutes after the ambush started - alas... I obviously didn't keep the words of my seniors in mind. It's true.
I am ashamed of the president’s entrustment!
Captain Li didn't want to think about what happened next. He finally managed to seize the "490" high ground and defend it, but he was still killed inexplicably. Several hundred people were unable to resist and had to surrender. This can only be lamented by bad luck.
And now….
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Zhou Qingfeng pushed the Nanbang battalion commander next to him, "Don't be in a daze, you are working."
Captain Li was about to burst into tears at this moment. Originally, even if he was captured, he would still enjoy the treatment of an officer. But when the CCP soldier in front of him asked him if he knew how to drive, he said "yes" and was surprised to be recruited as a truck driver.
My dignified battalion commander was roped in to be the driver. It was a huge loss of face!
Thirty-eight trucks were seized on the battlefield, of which there were more than 20 that could be driven. These more than 20 trucks were used to tow artillery and baggage, including twelve 105mm-caliber US M2 light howitzers.
The Volunteer Army Headquarters was overjoyed.
This two-ton howitzer is very suitable for the bad roads in North Korea's mountainous areas. Coupled with the truck towing, it enhances mobility and is a rare heavy weapon.
You must know that even in the later stages of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the "Battle of Jincheng" with the strongest artillery fire of the Volunteer Army only used more than a thousand artillery pieces, including 82mm mortars. These twelve M2 howitzers were simply used in the early days of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
It's like a big killer.
Seeing that the Chinese Communist Army attaches great importance to these twelve howitzers, Captain Li felt a bit of contempt in his heart - Americans have many such guns. They also have larger calibers, longer ranges, and greater power.
of artillery.
After laughing at the inferiority and shortage of equipment of the Chinese Communist Army, Captain Li had no choice but to drive a truck with other selected Nanbang drivers, dragging artillery baggage and leave the battlefield.
However, before leaving, the Nanbang soldiers including Captain Li once again felt the rusticity and stinginess of the Chinese Communist Army. They actually wanted to dismantle more than a dozen battle-damaged trucks, not sparing anything useful.
"Don't waste it. Remove everything that can be disassembled, such as wheels, tires, and engines. These things are rare." Zhou Qingfeng acted as a translator and gave the order. 'Old Machine Gun' personally directed dozens of Nanbang drivers and
Mechanics work.
"Pull out the gasoline from the fuel tank. Every drop of oil is precious now." Zhou Qingfeng personally found a leather pipe and several empty oil barrels from the truck, and led several mechanics to suck out the gasoline with their mouths and pour them into the barrels.
, really nothing is wasted.
Because of Zhou Qingfeng's extraordinary demeanor and calm command, Captain Li had always regarded him as an officer. But now he saw that this Chinese Communist soldier who could speak Korean actually made himself dirty and covered in oil. This frightened him.
huge.
"Senior, why do you want to do what a soldier does?" Captain Li couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, soldiers and officers are two completely different classes. "You have the magnanimity that only my commander has. You are definitely not an ordinary person."
Officer, if you do this, you will lower your prestige in front of the soldiers."
"Hahaha... you are right. Compared with the armies of other countries, the Chinese army is definitely different." Zhou Qingfeng admitted with a smile, "In other countries, there is an insurmountable gap between officers and soldiers. But in ours
It seems that equality between officers and soldiers is the right thing to do, that’s why we are so special.”
In the bonfire at night, Zhou Qingfeng acted as a commander and a coolie at the same time. Because he controlled the overall situation, he was naturally regarded as an officer. Listening to his orders in Korean mixed with Japanese, the scene was filled with excitement.
The soldiers felt that he was more like their commander than their own commander.
Many of the soldiers in Nanbang were trained by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation. They even felt a sense of intimacy when listening to Zhou Qingfeng's loud and scolding mandatory orders. The obedience they had developed over a long period of time allowed them to work obediently.
Since they were a field force, the trucks had many supporting tools. Before dawn, Zhou Qingfeng finally towed away more than 20 trucks and artillery pieces, and dismantled the remaining dozen battle-damaged trucks into empty shells.
When the work was done, Zhou Qingfeng even gathered the Nanbang soldiers who were working to give a lecture and loudly praised each other for their hard work. He was deeply satisfied and gave those who performed well a box of cigarettes as a reward. The Nanbang soldiers who were praised actually cried.
Got up.
Captain Li was astonished to see his men being trained like grandsons by a CCP soldier. For the first time, he felt that an officer who could lead the soldiers to work hard had extremely powerful charisma. The captured Nan
The Stick Soldiers had never been so in awe of him as they were today.
When the final lecture was over, the convoy officially set off. Zhou Qingfeng jumped on the first lead truck driven by Captain Li himself. The former battalion commander had to lower his head and asked: "Senior, why do you have to dismantle those trucks? Those were damaged in the battle.
Can’t the equipment be discarded?”
"Because we can't produce it ourselves, every part is hard-won and must be cherished." Zhou Qingfeng did not mince words about the backwardness of his own equipment, "This is how we accumulated our wealth. The country is so poor, there is nothing we can do.
matter."
"Since you are so poor? Why are you still enemies with the Americans? Do you know how powerful the Americans are?" Captain Li did not understand this the most. He wanted to talk about how many aircraft, warships, tanks and artillery the Americans had.
There are so many bombs and shells that I can't even finish them in one day and one night.
But Zhou Qingfeng just chuckled and said with a toothy smile: "Because we don't want to be so poor forever!"
