The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 14 Ready to go
Xia Yuan pursed his lips, listening to the voice calling his comrades in his ears, but did not speak.

Wu Qianli nodded: "Xia Yuan really came up with this matter. This kid has a clever mind. Now I regret putting him in the fire platoon."

"Company commander, you can't count your words, Xia Yuan is already in my platoon."

When Yu Congrong heard this, he almost gave up. He had tried this kid's skills before, and he was very strong. At least three or four old fighters couldn't get close to him, so he couldn't bear to throw them away.

No, absolutely not.

"Okay, don't make a sad face, tease you, look at your bear, quickly check and check your equipment."

Wu Qianli slapped the kid and was called away by Mei Sheng.

"Qianli, the teacher is calling you."

"it is good."

Before leaving, Wu Qianli patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Good job."

The others just sat and rested. They were really tired just after rescuing supplies. Fortunately, they moved a lot of supplies.

Lei Suisheng came over and sat down next to Xia Yuan, exhaled, and was caught off guard: "I didn't expect you to do it, yes, fortunately, the materials were moved in advance, otherwise, when this iron bird came over, all these materials would be destroyed." gone."

"The U.S. military has absolute air supremacy. This bridge is very conspicuous. They will definitely find a way to blow it up when they see it. I just thought about it a little bit more. Thanks to the company commander for believing what I said."

Xia Yuan was also somewhat thankful looking at the supplies that had been moved out. He kept so many supplies and was able to protect the lives of many soldiers.

Then, he began to worry in his heart again. These supplies were saved, but how to transport them became a big problem. After all, there were fewer people and more supplies. .Not to mention weapons and ammunition, these are all expensive.

The bullet casings used in wars in this era have to be handed over, and they cannot leave their weapons and ammunition here.

It has just passed the Yalu River here, and there is still a long way to go from the Korean battlefield.

After a while, a little soldier ran to the rest area of ​​the Seventh Company and shouted, "Who is Xia Yuan!"

Xia Yuan stood up, "I am."

The little soldier said: "Master wants to see you."

"Yes!"

Xia Yuan stood up, and his back disappeared under the eyes of the soldiers of the Seventh Company.

Yu Congrong looked at Ping He and Lei Suisheng who were sitting beside him with doubts, "What do you say, what does the teacher want Xia Yuan for?"

Pinghe said in a very casual tone, "What else can we do? Xia Yuan had a good insight into the enemy's opportunity to bomb the bridge, and asked us to unload the supplies ahead of time. If it wasn't for Xia Yuan, people might die if the supplies for this wave of bombing were gone."

Lei Suisheng sat on the ground, fiddled with his pipe, blew on it, and said, "I heard from the company commander that Xia Yuan returned from North Korea. He is very familiar with the situation here. He just joined the company. He asked the company commander to talk about the weather here, but unfortunately the station didn’t have enough cotton clothes, and he didn’t expect it to be right this time.”

Wu Wanli looked puzzled, while Zhang Xiaoshan looked surprised.

Ping He looked into the distance with a calm gaze, "His vision is very unique, this crisis is thanks to him."

Not long after, Wu Qianli, Mei Sheng, and Xia Yuan came from a distance, and the three were talking and laughing.

Yu Congrong stood up and hurriedly shouted: "They are back."

Everyone gathered around, and Ping He asked Xia Yuan: "Xia Yuan, what did the teacher ask you for?"

Xia Yuan carried a gun on his back, and smiled: "It's nothing, the teacher just wanted to see who discovered this problem first, but he didn't say anything."

Holding a cigarette butt, Lei Suisheng said with a smile, "If it wasn't for you, I guess this truckload of supplies would have been destroyed by those bastard Yankees."

With a faint smile on Xia Yuan's face, he saved a trainload of supplies, it was a worthwhile trip.

Wu Qianli patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder without saying anything. He had already said enough just now. He glanced at the resting Seventh Company soldiers and shouted, "Seventh Company gather!"

One hundred and five NO. 60 people, the gathering speed is very fast, Xia Yuan belongs to the firepower platoon, more than 30 people, equipped with Sten submachine guns, this kind of submachine gun is very suitable for firepower platoon soldiers, fast firing rate, equipped Large ammunition.

"Bring seven days' worth of food, enough ammunition, and get ready to go!"

"Yes!"

The Seventh Interspersed Company performs a special mission of escorting the radio station, which is different from the missions of other companies, so they are destined to be separated.

Now that the railway has been destroyed and the train has been bombed, the Seventh Interlude Company still has tasks to do, so we can't delay too long, the front line needs a radio station.

"Xia Yuan, this is your food, tie it to your body."

Yu Congrong breathed out, and the white mist rose. When he arrived here, the temperature was getting lower and lower. Many soldiers were still wearing cold clothes from the Zhejiang area, which could not withstand the weather on the North Korean side.

The grain sticks contained white flour and potatoes, and were tied to the shoulders. Xia Yuan sat on the ground again, found some hay and twisted it into a simple rope.

"What are you doing?"

Lei Suisheng walked up to Xia Yuan, holding a bullet bag full of bullets in his hand, and asked curiously.

"It's too cold here, so tie the ankles with straw ropes to prevent the cold air from getting in."

Xia Yuan sat down on the ground, tied the straw rope tightly to his legs, exhaled slightly, and rubbed his hands.

He didn't complain about not being able to get any cotton clothes. Not to mention the Seventh Company, even the entire Ninth Corps, half of the people didn't get any cotton clothes.

The logistics support for the Ninth Corps’ entry into the DPRK was quite hasty. Originally, the logistics department of the Northeast Army Division had prepared northern cotton clothes for the Ninth Corps at the rest place in Shenyang. When they got the supplies prepared in advance, they had to enter North Korea wearing the thin winter clothes issued by the Jiangnan area. Most of them didn't even have cotton shoes and cotton caps, and they were still wearing PLA shoes, so they entered North Korea in a hurry.

According to post-war statistics, the entire Korean battlefield lost [-] to [-] soldiers due to the weather alone. The vast majority of soldiers suffered from less fatal gunshots, but froze to death while recuperating.

Xia Yuan intends to change all of this, but the wheel of history will not be changed because of him. There are still many people in the Seventh Company wearing PLA shoes and rushing into the court. All he can do is Change what happens in the movie, and just try to change it.

Lei Suisheng handed the bullet bag to Xia Yuan: "I'm on a mission. You may encounter enemies. Don't try to be brave. No matter how good your martial arts are, they can knock you down with a single shot. Only when you protect yourself can you have a chance to fight back."

"understood."

Xia Yuan tied the bullet bag on his body, and weaved a few straw ropes, and handed them to Lei Suisheng.

Lei Gong's clothes are the same as his, which are warm clothes in Zhejiang area, and the cotton clothes handed out at the station are distributed to some younger soldiers in the company.

"Remember to pick up the finished bullet casings and put them in your pocket." Lei Suisheng did not forget to explain.

Xia Yuan nodded. Lei Suisheng came from the period of the Anti-Japanese War. At that time, a soldier was poor and only got three or four bullets. When the battle started, he had to wait until the enemy came to a distance of 30 meters before shooting. All the bullet casings were collected and brought back.

"Xia Yuan, take out the cotton in your clothes and stuff it into your trouser legs, it will still keep you warm."

Wu Qianli took the clothes that several soldiers had replaced, and a lot of cotton had been removed from them. Only then did Xia Yuan discover that the clothes of many soldiers in the company were bulging, and some of the soldiers' clothes still had weeds leaking from them. out.

"it is good."

Xia Yuan removed some cotton and stuffed it into his trouser legs and shoes, and found some hay and stuffed it into the interlayer of the clothes above. It felt warmer, so he tore the rest of the clothes into strips and tied them on his hands as gloves.

Many soldiers in the company did this. Forty or fifty pieces of clothes were quickly dismantled by them, and every soldier gained a lot of weight.

"Don't stuff too much, it will affect your actions." Wu Qianli grabbed the straw and stuffed it into his clothes, reminding him.

In the early days of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, soldiers basically used this method to keep out the cold, stuffing some straw, cotton, etc. into the interlayer of their clothes.

Wu Wanli was wearing a thick padded jacket, looking at the soldiers around him, feeling a little unbearable.

Xia Yuan smiled: "If you tell you to wear it, you can wear it. You are still young, and no one will lift you up when you are frozen."

Wu Wanli remained silent, staring at Xia Yuan's bullet pouch.

"Ask Papa Lei where to go."

Xia Yuan just calculated the bullets in the bullet bag, 35 bullets, not many, but enough, 35 bullets, killed 35 American devils, and then we can seize new weapons and equipment, it is best to come more Several military coats.

The straw in the clothes scratched his neck and scratched a little.
