Under the flickering lights, Second Lieutenant Andrew felt that he had entered a magical world, and everything in front of him showed an unreal visual dislocation. The simple wooden house, the rough tables and chairs, and the two shabby people in front of him.
Foreign soldiers.
No..., I shouldn't be here. I should stay in the brightly lit logistics office and work late at night. There should be a warm fire, companions to chat and laugh with, and coffee with milk that has a bitter taste to drive away sleepiness.
But what is in front of me? There are only cold inquiries... and extremely curious eyes.
What a shame!
I was actually deceived into front of the enemy by a very clumsy lie, and I became a prisoner of war without realizing it. I will become the biggest joke of the American Army. I am afraid that in the future military history will write, "Second Lieutenant Gil Andrew is the most unlucky prisoner in the world."
He was captured for pulling apples.'
God, please have mercy on me!
The stupid Second Lieutenant Andrew was as if he had lost his soul. He would say whatever others asked him. At the end of the question, he couldn't help but ask: "Can you let me go back? As long as you let me go, I swear I will escape immediately."
The United States will never return to North Korea."
The volunteer translator in charge of the inquiry put away the recorded manuscript and said with relief: "Mr. Andrew, you are now our prisoner of war. We will send you to the rear, ensure your safety, and release you when the time is right."
Sure enough..., I still can't go back.
Thinking that he was going to become a laughing stock, Second Lieutenant Andrew broke down and cried loudly. He was deceived and surrendered himself into a trap. This way of being captured is really a strange thing in the world!
The volunteer translators from the military headquarters also felt a bit dumbfounded. If they had not seen the prisoner they sent to their door with their own eyes, they would not have believed that the 347th Regiment had captured and retained an American prisoner of war so easily.
How ridiculous!
But the fact is that a sharp knife squad who disappeared during the battle rushed to Yunshan City. Not only did they do nothing, they also deceived a US military convoy full of food and weapons back. They are brave and careful, dare to think and do, and can play.
The guy with this hand is really a talent.
Walking out of the wooden house, the volunteer translator went to the nearby 347th Regiment Headquarters. A military map was hung in the headquarters tent, and a simple sand table was placed in the middle. In the small space, there were not only the regiment commander and political commissar, but also the 116th Division and the 30th Regiment.
The chiefs of the Ninth Army crowded in overnight.
"Report." The translator saluted and handed over the interrogation record that had just been completed. The army chief flipped through it first, followed by the division leader.
"This sharp knife squad of your regiment is really a bunch of monkeys. They have already gone into the belly of the enemy." The commander of the 39th Army spoke first, and with one sentence, everyone in the tent laughed loudly.
Extremely happy.
When everyone present heard that a U.S. military convoy had surrendered, they felt as if the sun was rising in the west. They came all night long to realize that this was not a joke, but a real thing.
"I deceived the Americans by pretending to be Nanbang Logistics along the way, sneaked into Yunshan to cook a meal to win over the relationship, sent out these five trucks of goodies, and also passed on extremely important information. This can definitely be recorded as a first-class merit."
The political commissar of the 39th Army also kept laughing. "This situation should be reported to Shisi immediately. The Americans are moving faster than we thought. Confirming this information can greatly reduce our losses. It is really a great thing."
When the Volunteers entered the DPRK, they treated the U.S. forces with great vigor and were always cautious. The Thirty-ninth Army originally wanted to encircle and annihilate the Nanbang First Division when attacking Yunshan. But now, according to the intelligence provided by Zhou Qingfeng and the prisoners, Yunshan City
It has changed from a soft persimmon to a hard nut.
On October 25, Zhou Qingfeng was fighting against the 6th Nanbang Division of the 40th Army of the Volunteer Army. At that time, the 39th Army had already exchanged fire with the 1st Nanbang Division that had arrived in Yunshan. Now the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division
The Eighth Regiment was stationed in Yunshan and was also equipped with a Sixth Tank Battalion and a Tenth Anti-aircraft Artillery Group.
The enemy is much stronger than expected! But...
"Fight, the plan remains unchanged." The leader of the 39th Army did not change the battle plan because of the enemy's strength.
Zhou Qingfeng's efforts finally paid off. Tomorrow's Thirty-ninth Army finally didn't have to be stupid enough to launch an attack in broad daylight three hours in advance. Only after they bumped into the enemy tanks and paid a heavy price did they realize that their opponent had become the US military.
The strategist-level leader quickly left the 347th Regiment, and now the regiment leader and political commissar had time to cheer loudly. The regiment leader shouted in joy: "I have to be a good boy, I actually have such soldiers under my command.
It’s like getting into Princess Iron Fan’s belly and tossing her around.”
"Not only did they get in, they also sent us five carts of good stuff. These are all supplies we urgently need." The political commissar also smiled happily.
Zhou Qingfeng brought back five trucks full of supplies, the most eye-catching of which was the 122mm caliber M-30 howitzer. This can be regarded as a military-level heavy artillery in the artillery sequence of the Volunteer Army.
There are not many armies.
Knowing that the cannon was intact and had hundreds of shells attached, the artillerymen of the 39th Army directly sent a platoon over and decided that the cannon would not be moved and would be used directly to support the 347th Regiment's attack on Yunshan tomorrow.
This greatly boosted the morale of the 347th Regiment, which usually had only mortar support.
In addition to artillery, the remaining mortars and machine guns were taken away overnight to strengthen other regiments. Among the things Zhou Qingfeng obtained, the most critical thing was actually not the cannon, but the six to seven-ton 'Spam'
, these canned lunch meats can be regarded as solving a big problem.
Although the Volunteers say they would rather have weapons than food and eat a few fewer meals to avoid starving to death, the reality is that the situation is extremely serious, so severe that it even jeopardizes the Volunteers' combat plan.
The volunteers have been in a state of food shortage since they entered the DPRK, and starvation is a common occurrence. Many of them are so hungry that they cannot walk, lose their combat effectiveness, are captured by hunger, and are so hungry that they betray. Even when they were soldiers, they had not eaten yet.
Drink, this is not a joke, this is a sad fact.
If you can have a full stomach, the combat effectiveness of the volunteers can at least double!
Of the several tons of Spam that Zhou Qingfeng obtained, half was given to the sick and wounded, and the rest was left to the 347th Regiment. Thinking that there would be a fierce battle tomorrow, the 347th Regiment decided to
Let all the soldiers in the regiment have a good meal. Only when they are full can they have the strength to fight.
But just like this, each person couldn't get a can, and he had to use it to replenish his strength before the battle. Because of Zhou Qingfeng's relationship, his company received preferential treatment, and everyone got a little more.
Normally, I can only eat soybeans and sorghum, not white rice, but today I can eat meat. Looking at the canned meat, the platoon leader who directly commanded Zhou Qingfeng was surprised and sighed: "This big guy Zhou
, it’s really amazing. But can he escape from Yunshan?”
