The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 30 Go to Changjin Lake!
Thousands of miles are frozen, and thousands of miles are snow drifting.

The whole mountain range seems to be covered with silver.

The soldiers of the Volunteer Army wore the old cotton-padded jackets backwards and tied them around their necks, trampling on the vast snow, crossing the mountains and rushing towards Changjin Lake day and night.

Among the mountains, a long team is stepping on thick snow. The further you go to South Korea, the higher the altitude, the colder the air. Even wearing thick cotton clothes, you can still feel the cold. Boots You will also step on the snow for a long time, and it will be soaked slowly, especially when you climb the snow mountain, the cold wind will blow your eyes and hurt your eyes.

Those warriors who saw snow for the first time also gradually evolved into silence from the initial novelty. The vast snowfields, high mountains and mountains, in order to speed up the march, they have to climb one mountain after another. The U.S. military will send a large number of reconnaissance planes to search for volunteers. The speed of travel during the day is naturally slow, so most of the travel time is at night.

Xia Yuan used the cloth strips torn from the broken clothes of the US military to wrap his face, only revealing a pair of eyes, even so, the eyebrows were covered with white frost.

After a day and night's journey, he arrived at Dayu Cave without taking much rest, and continued to set off. Xia Yuan felt exhausted, which was even more terrifying than practicing martial arts. He didn't know how many miles he had walked this day and night.

With this feeling, he deeply realized how terrifying the strong will of the volunteer soldiers at that time was, and it was this strong will that prompted them to persevere.

You must know that the volunteers at that time were walking on high mountains and snow-covered mountain roads. Most of the time they marched at night without even lighting equipment. What was even more frightening was that the volunteer soldiers wore thin clothes and ate fried noodles and cooked potatoes One serving should be eaten as two servings.

Just marching this day and night, Xia Yuan has nothing but admiration for the volunteer soldiers in his heart.

When marching, the troops basically did not speak, and could only hear the heavy breathing of the soldiers beside them, but still no one complained of being tired or suffering. As they marched toward the high mountain, no one spoke, only their feet stepped on the snow There was a creaking sound, and the clanging sound of weapons colliding.

The cloth strip on Xia Yuan's mouth was soaked by his breath, and gradually condensed into ice crystals. He had to remove the cloth strip from his face.

After walking for about two hours, on the slope of a mountain, the roar of US military aircraft came from the sky.

"hidden!"

Wu Qianli reacted very quickly. The moment he heard the sound, he reacted immediately, and the team dispersed immediately. The soldiers leaned tightly against the bare trees or looked for cover.

Xia Yuan raised his head and saw three U.S. military planes whizzing past the sky. In the early days of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the Volunteers were at an absolute disadvantage. It is tenacious will.

Yu Congrong stood up from the snow ground cursingly, shook the snow off his body, looked at the plane whose tail was no longer visible in the sky, and spat, "Bah, he will be shot down sooner or later."

"Sooner or later we'll have our own aircraft cannon, sooner or later."

Wu Qianli squinted and looked at the distant sky, "Go on!"

The snow covered the ankles, and there were some soldiers in the team who were wearing thinner clothes. Except for the wounded soldiers, the rest of the military coats were worn in turn, and the military coat captured by Xia Yuan was no exception. , Wear it alone for 10 minutes, and then wear it alternately.

The sun moved slowly in the sky, and the soldiers were exhausted.

"This mountain road is really difficult to walk."

Xia Yuan stepped on the snow on the ground, the snow covered the mountain road, there were uneven stones everywhere, it was difficult to find a flat road, sometimes his feet would suddenly be empty, and he fell to the ground, and the soldiers around him hurriedly pulled him Get up, brush off the snow on your body, and continue to set off.

Mei Sheng looked at a mountain in the distance, turned his head and said, "Qianli, let's rest, let the soldiers eat something, the soldiers are exhausted."

Wu Qianli looked at the situation around him and said, "Turn over this mountain and rest, let the soldiers persevere."

Mei Sheng nodded, and shouted loudly: "Comrades, work harder, climb over this mountain, and we will rest again."

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the seventh company still shouted with the loudest voice, the voice echoed in the valley, waiting for the voice to fall, the surroundings fell into dead silence again, only the wind whistling into the valley, as if they were the only ones left in the whole world.

Dayu Cave is located in Changseong County, North Pyongan Province, North Korea. The straight-line distance from Changjin Lake is 2000 kilometers. Coupled with the obstruction of the current harsh environment, it is even more difficult for volunteer soldiers to march.

Not to mention the difficulties and obstacles along the way, and the US military aircraft are always worried about.

The Seventh Interspersed Company is just a very small microcosm of the Battle of Changjin Lake. The entire Ninth Corps, tens of thousands of people, marched towards the Changjin Lake area from all directions. The time for the Ninth Corps to enter the court was very short, less than half In a month's time, we are now going to the direction of Changjin Lake. During the tense war, Commander Song of the Ninth Corps is determined to eat up the first US Marine Division in the area around Changjin Lake. Marshal Peng's ideas and Commander Song's The idea is the same, this battle is bound to give the US military a head-on blow.

After crossing the high mountain, the sky gradually dimmed. Xia Yuan, Yu Congrong, Pinghe, and Wu Wanli huddled together to keep each other warm. The quilts on their bodies were spread on the ground by them to prevent the rapid loss of body temperature caused by the body touching the ground.

"It's a pity that the snow here has not reached a very thick level. Otherwise, we can dig a snow hole to more effectively slow down the loss of body temperature."

As a modern person, he still knows some survival skills on the snow, but due to time constraints, Xia Yuan didn't have much time to do these. They were resting at the foot of the mountain behind. North Korea was not peaceful at night, and the wind was blowing. As he was blowing, his cheeks hurt, and the temperature at night began to drop. The closer to Changjin Lake, the colder the temperature.

Xia Yuan tightened his clothes. He didn't sleep well this time. The half-asleep and half-awake state didn't last long. After resting for about half an hour, Wu Qianli watched the snowstorm at the foot of the mountain and woke up the soldiers. :
"Don't sleep, you can't sleep for too long in this weather, get up and move around, and get ready to go."

After lying down for a while, Wu Qianli felt his body was frozen.

Xia Yuan looked at the soldiers and said, "Company Commander, I have a method to prevent frostbite. Grab a handful of snow and rub it vigorously on your face and hands. After you pat it off, your hands and cheeks will be very hot."

He grabbed the snow on the ground and rubbed his cheeks and hands vigorously. This method was not completely effective, but it could prevent frostbite to a certain extent.

The other soldiers tried it, and after a while, they were surprised to find that the place where they rubbed the snow gradually became hotter and hotter, and their hands quickly became warm. They rubbed their cheeks again, and it was indeed feasible.

After packing up, the soldiers continued to set off with their tired bodies.
