The heavens start from Changjin Lake

After a pause, Xia Yuan's eyes were heavy. To him, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a war he didn't want to experience. It was too tragic. Every battle was regarded as a meat grinder. There is too much difference with the US military, even if it relies on a huge number of people, it can only shorten part of the distance.

The gap in firepower of weapons and equipment is very obvious, especially prominent.

Was the Anti-Japanese War tragic? It was equally tragic, but the firepower of the Japanese army was not enough to compete with the U.S. military. In addition, the Japanese army in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War generally experienced strict militarized training, while the national army and the Eighth Route Army were mostly peasants with low military literacy, and even a lot of military knowledge was obtained through blood on the battlefield. At the beginning, when they arrived on the battlefield, they were like frightened rabbits, so the Japanese army's charge had a very significant effect.

The gap between them is very easy to make up. It is only necessary to improve the combat quality of the soldiers, and even if there is a certain firepower gap between the two sides, it can be shortened by the continuous improvement of the soldiers' military quality.

For example, veterans who have experienced some wars can judge the position of the Japanese artillery positions and the footholds of the artillery shells through the sound of the Japanese artillery shells, and avoid them in advance, so as to avoid being killed by the shells. These are summed up by continuous exploration The experience of the Japanese army is also related to the fact that the artillery fire of the Japanese army is not so intensive.

But the artillery of the U.S. Army is different from the artillery of the Japanese Army. The U.S. Army’s artillery has large caliber, strong lethality, and a large number of artillery. Some cannons can cover an area the size of a basketball court. And the bomber, even if Xia Yuan experienced the bombardment of Shangganling, he would not dare to say that he could survive under the bombardment of the US military.

U.S. artillery shells are the same as they don’t need money. They often have to plow down the hill with artillery fire and level the hill before the infantry can charge.

Because of the extremely fierce artillery fire by the U.S. Army, the Changjin Lake and Shangganling experienced by Xia Yuan are two of his most unforgettable memories, and he is unwilling to mention them. Tough wins narrow wins.

Now, he traveled to the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea again, and he was still a division that was about to be surrounded by the U.S. and South Korean troops. He didn't know what the next fate was, what the fate was to meet these lovely people, and he didn't know how to use his own strength It can save the [-]th Division.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Speaking of being afraid, Xia Yuan has never been afraid. He has experienced so much and killed many people. He doesn't know what else can make him afraid. If there is, it is that he is afraid of looking at someone he is familiar with. A sacrifice, and in the end he was the only one left.

Shangganling experienced it once, and he didn't want to experience it again.

Looking at the familiar people in front of him, Xia Yuan's voice was a little heavy. As a platoon of sharp knives, they will always be at the forefront of the team. I don't know that under the firepower of US artillery and heavy machine guns, his platoon Whether it can be preserved intact, but he knows that order is everything, and victory is everything.

Putting away his heavy heart, Xia Yuan's voice was sonorous, "But, no matter what the enemy has, no matter how powerful the enemy is, those who try to destroy our beautiful life and the stability of the country, we must use the weapons in our hands to drive the enemy away! We must not let them destroy our hard-won life today!"

The four of them suddenly felt the blood boiling in their bodies. Lao Yang clenched his fists, glanced at them, and said, "Old Xia is right, we have gone through decades of wars, from chaos to unity, and finally life is gradually getting better." Wake up, how long has passed, and within two years, the American devils wanted to cross the [-]th parallel, go straight to our Yalu River, and bombed our villages, causing many people to live a good life not long ago People lost their homes again."

He said: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as we have breath, we must keep the American devils out and not let them in. Otherwise, what happened to the Korean people will happen to us again!"

Lao Yang said: "The battle is about to start, and everyone is still thinking about the days to come. It is inevitable that some comrades will have some emotions. During the period before the battle, everyone should pay more attention to the emotions of some soldiers and prepare their minds. Work."

Tan Zhanbiao, Niu Fengyang, and Zhou Xingyong responded: "Yes!"

In the short morning meeting, everyone is an old comrade, so there is no need to say so much, and basically everyone knows what to do.

After the three left, Lao Yang put a rare cigarette in his mouth and asked, "Is there a fire?"

Xia Yuan touched his body, found a box of matches, and handed it over.Lao Yang opened a match, struck one and put it in front of his mouth. As the smoke rose, his eyes narrowed slightly: "This time we are facing the well-equipped US military."

Xia Yuan nodded silently. This is not a rare thing in newspapers. The U.S. military eats well, wears well, and uses it well. It is a superpower in this era, especially after the defeat of the Japanese army. A powerful country, there is no doubt about it.

Don't look at what they said just now with enthusiasm, but after the enthusiasm, the heart is heavy. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has broken out for four months, and many soldiers have been sacrificed to stabilize the situation in North Korea. However, the situation is only stable and far from over.

As commanders and fighters, no one knows the cruelty of war better than them.

Lao Yang smoked a cigarette and said, "I don't know how many people will come back after this trip."

Xia Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Old Yang, is there anyone else in your family?"

Lao Yang turned his head to look at Xia Yuan, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xia Yuan has a better understanding of the future. Whether he can go back alive is still unknown. Originally, there was an old mother and a younger brother in his family. The family was poor, and his father died early. He went by himself. He is determined to do his best to live, but in the face of the fierce artillery fire of the US military, he cannot guarantee whether he can come back alive.

He has a system and a whole body of powerful skills. No matter how many skills he has, he is still an individual. He struggles a little longer than ordinary people when a bullet hits a vital point.

He took out a paper bag from his bosom, which was left by his predecessor when he suppressed the bandits. Inside was some money and a letter, which the original body left for his mother and younger brother. Xia Yuan did not choose to recall, nor did he Open it and look, only the word 'love' is the most moving in the world. Even though he has experienced so much and thinks he is hard-hearted, there is still an area in his heart that stores all kinds of emotions. remember.

He said: "You know, there is an old mother in my family. This is the money I have saved over the years, and there is a letter. The whole country has been liberated long ago, and the new China has also been established. I haven't gone home to see it. So For many years, I have lost too much money to them, if "

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lao Yang, "Old Xia, when did you become so sloppy, if you want to go, come back alive and bring it home by yourself, I won't bring it for you."

Xia Yuan shook his head and said, "This bullet doesn't have eyes, and we are sharp knives, so accidents are inevitable."

Lao Yang waved the smoke in front of his eyes with his hand, and said: "If you charge forward like you, you will die very quickly. This time you go there, don't rush indiscriminately. The Yankees have fierce firepower. You I really thought my ass could attract fire."

Xia Yuan recalled his previous thoughts, and said: "Who is not the son of the old mother, I will charge forward more, and the soldiers behind me will be safer. I also have a younger brother. I sacrificed it, and I can take care of him when he grows up." Mother, but other fighters can't, many people in our squad have become only children, if they die, the sky will fall at home."

Lao Yang squatted on the ground all of a sudden, smoking a cigarette dully without speaking.

Xia Yuan squatted beside him and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma. These soldiers are only 20 years old, and I am already [-]. Listen to me, Ang."

He passed the things in his hand forward.

Lao Yang hesitated for a long time, and said: "Lao Xia, I know what you think, we have been together for so many years, beat up foreign devils, beat up the Kuomintang, and even walked around the ghost gate several times, I know what you think, I know, but I can't help you with this matter."

The thing is in Lao Xia's hands, at least he still has an idea, he will pay attention when rushing, he is afraid that if he takes the things away, Lao Xia has no more thoughts, and one day he will die heroically on the land of North Korea.

Keep it and let him bring it back by himself.

Xia Yuan sighed, put the things away, and said, "That's fine, I'll keep these things for myself."

Lao Yang was smoking a cigarette and felt a little depressed. He had a high level of ideological awareness. After all, he had studied in school and could read big characters. The comrades in the platoon did a good job in ideological work. Half of the people wanted to part with them, and he felt very sad, but there was nothing he could do about it. There was no doubt that orders were above everything else.

After a cigarette was exhausted, Lao Yang stood up and said, "Let's go to eat."

Not long after the [-]th Division finished suppressing bandits, it was still in western Sichuan for repairs. By the way, I would like to replenish the lost soldiers. Since the [-]th Division has enough veterans and various trainings on weekdays, some people who just joined The new comrades in the army can also adapt quickly. Each squad will organize some battlefield experience seminars for new comrades and veterans to participate together. When the veterans pass on their experience to each other, the recruits can also learn quickly.

So when eating, you can always see groups of fighters gathered together.

The meal in the morning was noodle soup, a steamed bun and a plate of pickles. The cook served the meal. Xia Yuan took the meal to the resting place in the row. Several soldiers were robbing a newspaper when they saw the platoon leader coming. , the soldiers got up to greet them, Xia Yuan took the food and went to sit on the stool among them, and said with a smile:
"What are you looking at?"

Lao Yang said: "Soldier's Life News, yesterday a soldier from the [-]nd Battalion and [-]rd Company broke a new obstacle course record. Everyone wants to see who this fierce man is."

"Soldier's Life News" is a newspaper issued by the [-]th Division itself. There are comrades who specialize in collecting news and comrades who are responsible for publishing. The circulation of small newspapers in the division is not high. Not anymore. Soldiers basically don’t have any entertainment on weekdays. This newspaper will publish some particularly interesting things. When there is a newspaper, they are basically rushing to read it.

I have seen comrades who printed newspapers before. They used a primitive hand-push mimeograph to print newspapers. They only needed to be pushed down one by one, and each newspaper was printed.

"Let me see."

Xia Yuan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and took the newspaper from Wang Xiaoliang. It was a [-]-page mimeographed small newspaper, "Yesterday, Comrade Li Chunming, the second battalion and third company of the [-]th regiment, broke the five Comrade Qiao Pingju's record in the [-]-meter obstacle race of the third battalion and second company of the Fourth Zero Regiment."

The 1-meter obstacle course is an internally formulated competition. No. [-] can get a pen as a reward. Holding the competition can improve the training enthusiasm of the soldiers, train hard every day, and improve their combat level, so that they can eliminate more fighters on the battlefield. many enemies.

The daily life of some soldiers in the three regiments of the [-]th and [-]th Divisions in the newspaper included regiment commanders, company commanders, platoon leaders, and squad leaders, and more of the life descriptions of ordinary soldiers, such as a When a soldier tore his clothes during training, the deputy squad leader would help him mend them with needles and threads. For example, what kind of lunch is prepared for today’s cooking class, what lunch schedule is made, for example, a day for new comrades who enlist in the army in the [-]th Division, etc., are very important. A down-to-earth newspaper.

Compared with the eye-catching headlines of the future, this newspaper is simply a clear stream in the newspaper industry.

After briefly reading the life descriptions of the soldiers of the [-]th Division, Xia Yuan took a bite of the newspaper in one hand and a steamed bun in the other, and said, "It's okay to read the newspapers, come one by one, don't grab them, you have to take the newspapers after you finish reading them." Show the comrades in the second row, if you tore up the newspaper while scrambling for it, how will the comrades in the back read it.”

A row of soldiers lowered their heads in shame.

Xia Yuan smiled, handed the newspaper to Lao Yang, and said, "Old Yang, you should read them more, I remember that many soldiers in the platoon can't read well, so you can read it for everyone. "

"Hey, then I'll read it to everyone."

With a smile on Lao Yang's face, he took the newspaper and read it: "Yesterday."

When New China was first established, the illiteracy rate in our country was as high as 80%. Illiteracy became a hindrance to the development of New China. To solve this problem, a vigorous literacy campaign was launched across the country.Literacy classes are spread all over factories, villages, troops, and streets, and people devote themselves to cultural learning with high enthusiasm.

In the army, the soldiers also devote their free time to studying. Up to now, the soldiers can basically know a lot of characters. It is still very necessary to carry out the literacy campaign. Knowing characters is much better than not knowing characters.
