At dusk, the snow gradually stopped, but the sky was still covered with clouds. The mountains were covered with a thin layer of white snow, and the branches were also covered with white snow. Lu He was lying on the hillside, hiding behind an elm tree.
The elm branches are lush and luxuriant, just enough to cover the person without any trace.
It was still very cold in the Korean Peninsula in the early winter of 1950. Lu Chen was from Hunan and was still not used to the winter in the north. Seeing that there was no movement on the road below the hillside, he couldn't help but turn over and felt deeply.
After taking a few cold breaths, Lu He felt a little better. Just as Lu He was about to turn over and move around, a stern voice came over, "Don't move, lie down there, and be careful to expose the target."
Lu Chen is twenty-two years old this year and is a clerk of the Ninth Company. Although he is not very old, he already has eight years of military service, which is only the military service of the Kuomintang. In the spring of 1942, Lu Chen, who was only fourteen years old,
Mountain area in Xiangxi, Hunan, participated in the National Affairs
The expeditionary force of the government was incorporated into Sun Liren's New First Army. He went on an expedition to Burma. He fought bravely and made many meritorious deeds. He was an instructor of the division training team and had the rank of second lieutenant. In the summer of 1950, he was wounded and captured during the Battle of Zhennanguan. He was incorporated into
The ninth company of a certain unit of D Field Army.
The speaker was Chen Jiushan, commander of the 1st Platoon of the Ninth Company. Chen Jiushan was about the same age as Lu Chen, both 22 years old. He was born in 1928 and was from Hecheng in Northeast China. He joined the D Field Army in 1947 and followed the D
The field army fought from the banks of the Songhua River, across the Yellow River, across the Yangtze River, and all the way to Zhennanguan at the southernmost tip of Guangxi. They fought thousands of miles and were a fighting hero.
Chen Jiushan is of medium height, with slightly dark skin, strong build, and quick movements. Lu Chen is also of medium height, a little over 1.7 meters tall, but has fair skin and looks like a scholar. Chen Jiushan dislikes Lu He very much and thinks that Lu Fangchen is elegant and quiet.
, is a white-faced scholar, or a prisoner of the Kuomintang army. This time, he was not willing to take Lu Fangchen with him on this tongue-catching mission.
Feng Ren, the commander of the Ninth Company, valued Lu Chen very much. Feng Ren believed that it was the first time for the troops to go abroad to fight, and they were unfamiliar with the environment and enemies. Moreover, the opponent was a powerful American. Lu Chen was a member of the New Army of the Kuomintang Army, and he was in India.
He had received training from the US military, had a certain understanding of the US military, and could speak English. Chen Jiushan was required to bring Lu Chen with him.
Chen Jiushan was lying on the left side of Lu Chen. When he saw Lu Chen trying to make a move, he scolded him sternly. He raised his binoculars and looked at the movement on the road. It was very quiet on the road. There was no one, not even small animals. Chen Jiushan used
The butt of the Mosin-Nagant rifle in his hand struck Lu Chen and ordered: "The fight will start soon. Your mission is to be an adviser to the US military. Try to catch as many as possible alive."
The Mosin-Nagant rifle is a rifle made in the Soviet Union and the standard configuration of the Soviet Army. The caliber is 7.65 mm; the total length is 1020 mm; the rate of fire: 820m/s; the total gun weight is 3.5 kg; the magazine capacity is 5 rounds; the effective range
548 meters.
Chen Jiushan's original configuration was a thirty-eight-strong army. After the team entered the court, the superiors discovered a problem. The weapons configuration of each unit was not uniform. They were almost made by all nations. Take the ninth company where Chen Jiushan was located as an example. There were medium and formal, and some
Made in Hanyang, 38 Daqi, Czech assault rifles, etc., the bullet caliber of each rifle
They are all different, and the parts are also different, which is not conducive to logistical supplies or parts exchange. The headquarters decided to exchange the weapon configurations of each unit. At least the weapon configurations of each division-level unit must be unified. This is how it is presented.
Jiu Shan's 38-gauge rifle was transferred to the brother army and replaced with a Mosin Nagant rifle.
However, Chen Jiushan himself still likes the 38-gauge rifle. Compared with the Mosin-Nagant rifle, the 38-gaga rifle is less lethal, but has a long range, stable shooting, and the gun body is longer, one inch longer, one inch stronger.
For Chen Jiushan, an expert in bayonet fighting, the 38-gauge rifle is more convenient, especially in hand-to-hand combat. The advantage is more obvious.
Lu Chen's gun is also a Mosin Nagant rifle, but Lu Fangchen himself still likes the American M1 assault rifle, commonly known as Big Eight, American M1 assault rifle, caliber: 7.62mm, muzzle velocity: 865m/s, effective range: 730m, guided
Gas automatic mode, total gun length: 1107mm, total gun weight: 4.75kg with bayonet, ammunition capacity: 8 rounds, large ammunition capacity, simple loading of magazines, and quick replacement of magazines, an American-made MI assault rifle
The firepower coverage is equivalent to two Mosin-Nagant rifles and three 38-gun rifles.
"Tu tu tu, tu tu tu -" the sound of cars came from down the hillside. Chen Jiushan raised his binoculars to observe the movement down the hillside. The mountain road was winding and an American convertible jeep came from the west. There were six enemy soldiers on the jeep.
Sitting in the co-pilot was a U.S. captain, and the other five soldiers were South Korean soldiers. The open jeep was not very fast. The U.S. captain and the South Korean soldiers looked very happy, laughing loudly, and their happy laughter spread far and wide in the valley.
Far away, I didn’t feel the danger was right in front of me.
Chen Jiushan put down the telescope and ordered in a low voice: "Get ready to fight, watch my gestures and actions, and try not to shoot." After saying that, Chen Jiushan made a "click!" sound, inserted the bayonet of the Mosin-Nagant rifle, and other things.
Some of the soldiers also inserted their rifle bayonets, held their breath, and watched closely the American open-top jeeps slowly approaching on the road.
The US captain and several South Korean soldiers in the jeep patrolled for more than ten kilometers along the mountain road. Except for patches of thin white snow and dense forests that rustled in the breeze, there was not even a shadow of a ghost. It was early winter.
Although it is not the coldest season on the Korean Peninsula, the wind is still biting and the sky is gradually getting dark. The jeep turns around and returns to the camp.
The US military camp is just a few kilometers away. After returning to the camp, you will have canned beef, bread and biscuits, and you can also drink a cup of strong hot coffee. The US military's logistics supplies are world-class, thanks to their powerful sea and air transportation.
capabilities, as well as strong industrial and agricultural production capabilities.
For some reason, two tree trunks were lying across the middle of the road. The trunks were so thick that it was difficult for the jeep to pass. "Squeak!" The jeep braked suddenly. The braking sound was very harsh, and the jeep's tires drew a shallow groove on the road.
There is a difference in thinking between Americans and Chinese people, which can also be said to be cultural differences. The Chinese talk about wisdom and strategy, while the Americans talk about strength and firepower coverage. The U.S. captain in the jeep did not make any military decisions about the tree trunk lying in front of him.
The superior judged that it was normal to have several fallen trees in the deep mountains and dense forests of northern North Korea, and ordered several South Korean soldiers to get out of the car and move the two thick tree trunks away.
In fact, it is reasonable for the U.S. captain to make such a judgment. The Korean People's Army has collapsed and has long since escaped without a trace under the powerful firepower of the U.S. military. The U.S. military has passed Pyongyang and is almost parading.
They moved forward without any obstacles. Their great commander-in-chief, MacArthur, promised to let them go home on Thanksgiving Day, back to Texas, back to California, away from the horrible weather in North Korea. What a beautiful vision.
Several South Korean soldiers lazily got out of the jeep, with American-made MI assault rifles slung behind their backs. Without any sense of combat, they walked over and prepared to move two tree trunks.
