The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 387 Reserve Team [-]th Division

The fifth battle is getting closer and closer, and the division headquarters has not received the combat order from the superior. Master Zheng began to worry: "It has been a month since we have been here in North Korea. We will start at 21 o'clock in the evening on the [-]st. We are about to fight the fifth battle, and our division has not really fought against the American devils yet, and the other teams have already started to move towards the combat position, and we have not received any combat orders yet."

Deputy Commander Duan said: "Old Zheng, hold your breath. The more we are at this time, the less we can be anxious. Maybe the superiors have arranged other combat missions for us."

Chief of Staff Wang came back, walking in a hurry. Seeing this, the two quickly got up to greet him. Master Zheng asked, "How is it? Has the superior's combat order come down?"

Chief of Staff Wang breathed a little, and said, "Our [-]th Division is staying behind as a reserve team and continuing to stick to our defense zone."

Master Zheng was a little disappointed, and said: "The [-]th Division and the [-]st Division of the [-]th Army have all received their own combat orders and have already moved towards the front line, but our [-]th Division is still staying in place. "

Chief of Staff Wang comforted: "Old Zheng, don't worry too much, I think Zhisi must have his intentions in making such an arrangement."

Deputy Teacher Duan also said: "Old Wang is right, we just follow Zhisi's arrangement."

Master Zheng thought for a while, and said: "The reserve team is the reserve team, and the reserve team will also play. I just hope that Master Sun and Master Qin can save some soup for our [-]th Division."

Deputy Division Commander Duan thought about it and said: "It's probably too much, and they are also very anxious during the waiting period. This time they finally received the combat order, and this is the first time to participate in the fifth major counter-offensive campaign. I guess they will have a good time. "

In the first stage of the fifth battle, the [-]th Division stayed behind as a reserve team and did not participate in the first stage of the battle.

On the front line, the first battalion and one company of the [-]th regiment fought an annihilation battle of a reconnaissance platoon of the enemy, and successfully destroyed the reconnaissance team sent by the US military. The consequences could be disastrous.At this time, the U.S. military did not know that the three infantry divisions of the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]st divisions under the jurisdiction of the [-]th Army had been reinforced on this position. The main area for the counterattack in the first stage was the graveyard of North Korea. Between Chuncheon and Chuncheon, the [-]rd Corps of the [-]th Army targeted the [-]rd U.S. Division and the Turkish Brigade in the Yeoncheon area.

All the ministries on the front line are mobilizing intensely. All the artillery is camouflaged by vegetation and arrives in place. Volunteer soldiers put leaves and weeds on their heads as camouflage, and travel between forests and high mountains.

Zhisi is determined to launch a full-scale assault on the United Nations Army on the western front with three corps and twelve armies. Regardless of the width of the attack, the number of troops invested, or the distance of the assault, the fifth campaign is the largest offensive of the Volunteers since the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The target of the attack is In order to completely divide and encircle the enemy, annihilate five entire divisions of the United Nations Army!
During the preparations for the fifth campaign, on April [-], MacArthur's five-star general was dismissed, and Ridgway took over MacArthur's command. Van Vleet became the commander of the Eighth Army, and the first thing he did after taking office The thing is to command the Eighth Army to continue to advance northward, and to level the uneven front that the United Nations Army showed on the map. He didn't know that when this order was issued, the reinforcements of the Volunteer Army had already arrived at the front line of North Korea, and they were preparing for the fifth battle. Not long after he took office, he was about to encounter the largest offensive in the history of the Volunteer Army.

While the Volunteer Army was mobilizing intensely, the defense area of ​​the [-]th Division seemed extraordinarily peaceful. Xia Yuan and the others stayed in the tunnel, eating pancakes and chatting, and listening to Xia Yuan telling them stories about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from time to time. Going out for training in the evening, I didn't have the slightest tension before the war.

The temperature in the tunnel is very warm, and the soldiers basically don’t need to wear cotton clothes when they stay in the tunnel. Since Chen Lie got the big eight grains, he handed over his weapons to the military supply department, holding the big eight grains to wipe them all day long, often I ran to the company commander to ask when he would arrange a combat mission, and I couldn't wait to try the new weapon.

I was disappointed every time, not to mention the first company, even the entire [-]th Division had no combat missions.

Xia Yuan smiled and comforted him: "Old Chen, when you will use this weapon in the future, calm down now and take good care of it."

"Oh." Chen Lie raised his head, glanced at Xia Yuan, and asked with some doubts: "Old Xia, when did you like to use a rifle?"

Xia Yuan said: "It's not a gun that you use. A gun that can hit the American devils is a good gun. Although this submachine gun is good, its range is too short and its power is low. If you really want to fight tough battles, it's not enough. This gun will do."

The Sharp Knife Platoon also shoulders the task of attacking the fortifications, and the casualties are undoubtedly the greatest, especially in this battlefield to resist the U.S. aggression and aid Korea. Facing the extremely fierce firepower of the U.S. army, the difficulty of attacking the fortifications is comparable to the sky. The submachine gun is good, so there must be a chance to output it face-to-face .

He was used to the big eight grains, so if he really wanted to use a submachine gun to hit the enemy's bunker, it would probably be too much.

The big man ran over and said in a low voice: "Lao Xia, Lao Chen, I heard recently that we are going to make a big move, but why don't we see that our [-]th division has made a move? The [-]th division next door The Ninth Division and the [-]st Division have already set off, and we are still staying in this defense zone."

Xia Yuan said suspiciously: "Didn't you just experience a victory in a battle a while ago, what's wrong, your hands started to itch again?"

The big man gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it? Of the more than 30 foreign devils, I only killed seven of them. I haven't fought enough, and the battle is over."

Chen Lie wiped the gun, put it behind his back, and said, "At any rate, you still fired a shot. I haven't even fired a single shot yet. No one saw me."

When this matter was brought up, Chen Lie felt depressed, he didn't eat the piece of fat that was in his mouth, and let Xia Yuan and Da Ma eat it, and he didn't even get a mouthful of soup.

The big horse scratched his head.

Xia Yuan said: "You two don't complain, there will be battles for you to fight in the future, but we just don't have them for the time being."

It won't be long before the second phase of the fifth battle will begin. At that time, as the battle progresses, they will be surrounded by the enemy. With the strength of a division, they will fight against the United Nations army, which is several times higher than our army. .

Wars cannot be fought, but people will die.

Time slipped away bit by bit. On the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the fifth battle between China and the U.S. is about to start. In the tunnels on the high ground, rumbling cannons can be heard from far away. U.S. fighter jets From time to time, the sound of flying across the sky, the roar of bombs falling on the ground, the earth seemed to be shaking, and the soldiers in the tunnel could clearly hear it.

The hand-to-hand combat between the Volunteer Army and the U.S. Army has not yet developed into a large-scale corps battle.

At this time, the fifth battle has not yet started, and the U.S. military is marching northward in an attempt to draw the U.S. front into a straight line. Volunteer defenders on various high grounds have encountered fierce U.S. attack, and shells are raining down on the positions. On the ground, the continuous artillery fire was tearing apart the volunteer army's line of defense, and the defenders on the high ground suffered huge casualties. This level of artillery fire attack was the most violent that many volunteer troops had ever encountered.

The soldiers sitting in the tunnel heard the roar from the front line, which was firepower that the Volunteers had never had. They knew in their hearts that this was the US military's counterattack against them. The ferocity of the offensive was shocking.

Xia Yuan was a little surprised by such a ferocious attacking method. No matter how he looked at it, he was familiar with it.

"Van Vleet!"

As early as when he was in Shangganling, Xia Yuan had experienced the unconventional bombing methods of this American general, and in the future there will be a term called "Van Fleet's ammunition volume" to refer to what this American general did on North Korea. things.

Before the start of the fifth battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, with MacArthur being dismissed from his post, the US military general came to the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. In response to the actions of the volunteers, Van Fleet formulated a series of combat plans, and even invested a lot of ammunition at all costs. In an attempt to destroy the Volunteer Army's defensive front with intense artillery fire, all that the Volunteer Army has suffered now was brought about by this American general.In order to block the volunteer army's logistics route, the U.S. military planes also launched a fierce bombing of the volunteer army's logistics route. The location of the bombing was not far from their first battalion station.

Even in the tunnel, you can feel the din of artillery fire from the front line.

While Xia Yuan and the others were waiting in the tunnel, the logistics supply line of the volunteer army was violently bombed by US bombers. It was the North Korean people who joined the delivery team, and they delivered food, medicine, weapons and ammunition to the tunnels on the front line.

But at the same time, as the transportation of the logistics team strengthened, the US bombers also began to bomb the volunteers' logistics supply routes more violently.

At this time, there are only a few days left before the start of the fifth battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Batches of supplies have been sent to the volunteers on the front line, but these supplies are not enough to sustain the needs of the entire fifth battle!

With the entry of the Third Corps, the 70th Corps, an antiaircraft artillery division, a battle defense artillery division, and three rocket artillery divisions, the total strength of the Volunteers to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has reached more than [-] people. The consumption of weapons, ammunition and food required for the unit's full-line counterattack operations is a very terrifying amount. Without sufficient logistical supplies, it is impossible to support the fifth battle.

The weather in the dark night was gloomy and terrifying, and the continuous humming sound passed down from above the thick clouds.

Under the clouds, the dark world glowed with a little bit of light, and the visibility was not very high. A logistics transport unit like a long dragon was nervously heading to the front line under the cover of the night, with donkeys, mules, cows, horses and various livestock mixed in. Among the transportation teams, carrying or pulling a large amount of supplies, some Korean people in national costumes waved long whips in their hands to help drive cattle and horses.

In addition to livestock, there are also carts full of various ammunition or food that can only be pushed by manpower. This cart is not light, and seven or eight soldiers are pushing one cart forward on the road with great difficulty. It is more like a dirt road than a road. The road that has been bombed by shells or bombers is full of impact points. If one in front of you is not paying attention, a car will sink into it, and soldiers and North Korean people will surround it. , Throw some stones in the pit for padding, a few soldiers pull in front, and a few soldiers push behind, and there are more than 30 vehicles made of wood like this.

This is a huge transportation route. There are five companies responsible for the transportation. There are also many art team soldiers with trumpets and violins on their bodies. There are many men and women. Although their clothes are not much different from ordinary war, But it is obvious that their faces are much cleaner than ordinary soldiers, their hands are also much slender than ordinary soldiers, and their age is younger than some soldiers.

They helped push the cart in twos and threes, or took turns carrying ammunition boxes.

These young people are students from China. Since the outbreak of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the whole country has united as one, united as one, donating money and food if they have money, and sending their children to the battlefield if they have someone. These young people are full of enthusiasm and determined to serve For the motherland, with their dream of music and their love for the motherland, they resolutely left school, put on military uniforms, and went to the battlefield with their musical instruments.

Musical instruments are their weapons, and music is their inspiring magic weapon. They are a piece of green grassland in the tenacious will of the volunteer soldiers. The soldiers performed so that they would no longer be hesitant and lonely on such a cruel battlefield.

After performing for the volunteer soldiers on the front line, Lin Qingxue also joined the logistics transportation team. The logistics transportation was too short of people, and their art troupe had no tasks after the performance. Many comrades in the art troupe chose to go to the logistics The transportation team, here, they saw the other side of the war and the side where people gather together.

Lin Qingxue was struggling to help push the car, covered in sweat, and the roar of enemy bombers could be heard from above her head from time to time. The buzzing sound was like a huge stone, pressing heavily on all the soldiers, staring at the enemy bombers The risk of being discovered by enemy bombers, they are advancing hard in this dark night.

Suddenly, a beam of bright light projected from the clouds in the distance, and in an instant, the whole world lit up.

The flares dropped by the plane lit up the dark night sky, reflecting the long-standing logistics team. The sudden flare alarmed the logistics personnel below, and they immediately became alert.

In the sky, the invisible bomber seemed to be nearby, and the sound suddenly became louder, as if it was crushed by a stone.

The pupils of experienced fighters shrunk. This is the enemy bomber descending altitude and starting to dive.
