Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 27 The northernmost part of the motherland
Qianli was the first to recognize it: "It's a reconnaissance plane!"

He had fought in Huaihai, and he had seen this kind of aircraft when Nanjing was liberated.It is the first wingman of the Americans before going to war, and is used to detect targets.

Lei Gong murmured: "This is China, how could..."

But Wu Qianli was already shouting:

"—The Seventh Company, hide on the spot! Pay attention to concealment!"

Yu Congrong was the first to jump up, and quickly jumped into the pile of containers next to him.Ping He, Lei Gong and the others did not move slowly at all, they quickly followed and hid inside.

Qianli pulled a few comrades of translators in, turned his head, and saw Xu Qing was about to run to the train, but there were people in front of him.

He shouted: "Wu Wanli, come here!"

Xu Qing woke up with a start.

He was indeed flustered and had not been trained in this area.However, he immediately listened to Wu Qianli's call, and ran towards him in a two-step leap.

The crowd around, the originally ignorant fighters also moved quickly.Most of the fighters had seen Japanese planes before. Although they were unfamiliar with American planes, they also knew that the situation was urgent.

"It's a US reconnaissance plane! It's across the river!"

"Take shelter under the shelter! Quick!"

"Hurry up!"

The combat readiness of the Ninth Corps was reflected at this time. Under the command of the non-commissioned officers of each company and battalion, all soldiers quickly put down their work and quickly hid within the coverage of trains, shelters, and containers.

Squeezing, huddling, piled up, lying on their stomachs, there are scenes like stacking arhats. Thousands of soldiers are hiding under pieces of white cloth scaffolding. At this moment, no one dislikes anyone.Although embarrassing, it is necessary.

The speed of the reconnaissance plane is very fast, carrying the rolling roar in the sky, but the speed of the soldiers is even faster.

The platform and the shelter are very close to each other. Ji’an stands on the border, which itself is managed militarized, and a lot of cover has been done. Many places are covered with cloth to blend in with the surrounding environment.

The soldiers who were all over the mountains and plains just now disappeared into the sea like fish.

The engine of the reconnaissance plane roared in the sky, and the sound fluctuated from far to near.Seems to be hovering somewhere.

In the corner of the container.Dozens of fighters lay down together, gasping loudly against the ground.

Qianli felt a cold sweat.Suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhang Xiaoshan: "Are all the radio stations in the car turned off?"

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't seem to have experienced this kind of scene before. He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "The radio is always turned off with the box. Even when it is turned on, we keep the radio silent!"

Qianli exhaled: "That's good."

Xu Qing listened and understood.If the radio station is used, it will send out a signal, and it will receive many electronic signals and electromagnetic interference at random, so that anomalies in the area will be discovered, which can only be avoided by radio silence.

He asked, "Did the plane cross our border?"

Yu Congrong: "Definitely!"

Qianli patted him: "Slow down!"

Yu Congrong muttered: "Can the plane still hear it?"

Xu Qing didn't get the answer he wanted, but Zhang Xiaoshan beside him said, "It doesn't count."

He listened carefully. He couldn't see the sky from this angle, but he could hear the sound.

Then he explained: "The sound is loud, but the distance is actually far away. It should be in the southwest corner of the sky, which is still within the range of the Yalu River. This plane only circled the river border on the North Korean side. According to the international border line As long as it does not enter our half of the river boundary line, it is not considered an invasion of our territory."

Lei Gong said in surprise: "As expected of a comrade from Beijing, his knowledge is different."

Know so much, college student?

Xu Qing also raised her eyes and glanced at him.

He came from a later life, and he didn't know much about it. In this era of extreme lack of knowledge, it is extremely rare to have such cognition and knowledge.This estimated family status is not ordinary.

Yu Congrong didn't think too much, and frowned, "Even so, they are too arrogant!"

"Indeed. That's why Comrade Stalin said that if we fall behind, we will be beaten! We have just established our country, and everything is still developing. The Americans are unscrupulous because they have atomic bombs. But this cannot be an excuse and reason to provoke us!" Zhang Xiaoshan nodded, and the same is true road.

Qianli: "That's right, we don't want to be beaten, so we have to!"

Xu Qing took it for granted.

While several people were talking, the sound of the plane circling gradually faded away. A soldier in charge of the investigation checked carefully and shouted:

"The plane flew away!"

Xu Qing and the others also looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, they got out of the shelter one after another.But after this, the atmosphere at the station became more serious, and all the troops of the Ninth Corps seemed busier.

Mei Sheng patted the gray and said: "It seems that the front line of our army has already started, and the Americans have already taken precautions against us! This is to send a reconnaissance plane to see if we have sent troops. Our train has been parked on the track. I don't know if it has been Exposure? Shall we evacuate this..."

Before he finished speaking, the loudspeaker at the station rang above his head:

"The Ninth Corps listens to the order, and all the ministries board the car immediately! All the ministries board the car immediately!"

"My dear instructor, what you said is really accurate..." Qianli took a deep breath, and turned around and shouted: "Everyone, get in the car!"

All the soldiers of the Seventh Company ran to the train.This is to prevent the planes from coming back and calling in more fighter groups to bomb, so go now and get the trains off.
While running, Xu Qing asked: "Aren't we going to cross the river here? Isn't the Yalu River opposite the station, and there seems to be a bridge?"

Qianli replied in a loud voice: "We can't pass! The order we received was to go to Anton. The plane is circling here. I'm afraid there is a risk of exposure here. Get in the car first!"

"Quick, move fast, move fast!"

Everyone kept on their feet, with guns on their backs and packages, and rushed into the train quickly.

The train is already burning coal, the steam spray is rising, and the whistle is already sounding.

Seeing that there were still a few cotton-padded clothes in front of the station gate, Xu Qing quickly squatted down and picked them up.Lei Gong turned around and shouted: "Don't move, it's important to get in the car!"

"It's all right! It'll be ready soon." Without looking up, Xu Qing quickly picked up seven or eight cotton coats and hugged them thickly to her chest, squeezed into the crowd and got on the car.

Lei Gong took it with his hands, and asked with concern: "There are so many people, you were almost trampled on, didn't you see?"

"I'm afraid everyone will be freezing..." He still remembers the cold weather in the movie. This few cotton coats are not enough at all, and if he can bring one more, it's great.

Yu Congrong walked over, put his arms around Xu Qing, and rubbed his head vigorously: "Xiao Wanli is also kind, Father Lei, you don't have to be too harsh!"

Lei Gong stared: "Do you need to say it?"

Here.

The train is about to start again.As the company commander, Qianli is already counting the number of people: "Is everyone here?"

"Second row is complete!"

"Three rows are in order..."

"It's all in one row..."

Yu Congrong was beside him, and still said with righteous indignation: "This American is too arrogant. On our border, he can come and leave whenever he wants!"

Xu Qing also nodded: "Indeed, it's a pity we don't have a plane."

"It will be there in the future!" Yu Congrong grabbed it with his big hand, "Xiao Wanli, let me leave it at that. After crossing the river, I will show you how I, Yu Congrong, beat them!"

Xu Qing smiled, "You are the only one who is good, why don't we fight?"

"Fight, all fight, must fight! Let some bastards, let them see how fierce I am!"

When he was in a hurry, Sichuan dialect came out.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Qing to return, he asked again: "By the way, I didn't pay attention just now. You said that the little Beijing brought back by the company commander, how did he know so much?"

Xu Qing: "...he has a name, Zhang Xiaoshan."

"Isn't that still a little Beijing? Why can't it be called, our instructor is still an old Shanghai!"

"Then you must be an old Sichuanese?"

While the two were talking, Zhang Xiaoshan came over from behind, before the person arrived, the laughter came first: "What are you two talking about, so happy?"

Yu Congrong replied: "Let's talk about Little Beijing!"

Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment, and Yu Congrong also came back to his senses, and found that the real master was here.

Xu Qing coughed slightly beside him: "Don't mind, he likes to give people nicknames..."

"Haha, that's good. No one has called me that before. You don't have to be too polite, but you can call me Xiaoshan at ordinary times!" Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and didn't care.

Xu Qing felt that he had some background, and didn't know if it was a fake name, so he said casually: "...Actually, fine print is not good."

"why not?"

"Xiao Wanli, does it sound good?"

Yu Congrong refused to accept it: "Why does it sound bad!"

Zhang Xiaoshan also smiled: "The small mountain is not good, so what about... the big mountain?"

"Mountain?"

Xu Qing was slightly stunned, and said unconsciously, "Dashan, he's a foreigner who talks about cross talk..."

Yu Congrong: "What?"

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't hear clearly, and looked at him suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I thought of a joke, haha..."

"cut!"

Xu Qing saw that they didn't know what to say, but he laughed himself. In this age, this is a joke that only he knows.

After the joke was over, he suddenly felt a little lonely again:
Can I go back by myself?
This time on the train, it may be the last time to take the train. It is no longer a slow wandering and gathering north, but a real entry into North Korea.The closer he got to this terrifying battlefield, the more unspeakably tense he felt.

"The car is going, the car is going!"

After the soldiers boarded the train, the train started.

Everyone looked out, and the station was full of garrison soldiers and station personnel waving off.Xu Qing saw the deputy head of the station, the female hygienist from the martyr's family, the little girl with braids, and many people who gave them cotton coats.

They didn't make a sound, but they all watched the dozens of trains from the Ninth Corps moving slowly, standing under the shelter, silently paying their respects, waving, and expressing their respect for the long journey.

Several people waved their hands to the outside, and they seemed to have experienced several brief gatherings, separations and partings in just a few days.Then step into the journey in panic and unknown.

Xu Qing turned around and asked:

"Where's Anton?"

"North of the motherland."

"Where is the Yalu River Bridge?"

Yu Congrong shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

Zhang Xiaoshan continued:
"A place norther than the north of the motherland..."

Xu Qing nodded and turned around.For them, this is probably the last place on the border of the motherland that they can see.

The ancients said that thousands of miles went to the army, but he knew that if they went on, they would go more than ten thousand miles, and they would no longer be their homeland.

He was struggling in his heart, and history was repeating itself as planned. He seemed to have insight into everything, but also seemed powerless: What should I do, how can I save my comrades-in-arms, save these cutest people?
