After the battle, Erzhu discovered that there was another American soldier hiding under the truck. Erzhu scolded him and came out immediately, "Sir, don't shoot, I'll come out right away." What surprised everyone was that the American soldier under the truck actually said
Speaking in blunt Chinese.
Soon, the American soldier crawled out from under the truck. The American soldier did not wear a hat. He was about 1.7 meters tall, in his twenties, with black hair and eyes, and a Chinese face. He asked Liu Santang,
Chen Jiushan and others bowed, "Sir, I am a driver. I have no weapons and am a non-combatant."
The Chinese language is a little stiff, with a slight accent from southern Fujian, and he is very familiar with some battlefield rules. Some non-combatants on both sides of the war, such as medical staff, drivers, and reporters, cannot be treated as prisoners of war.
After cross-examination, it turned out that this American driver was really of Chinese descent. His Chinese name was Chen Jionghai, and his American name was George Chen. His parents were originally from southern China and Fujian. They immigrated to California many years ago. Chen Jionghai made his voice heard in the United States. He is 25 this year.
At the age of 10, he was discriminated against in California because he was Chinese. In order to make a living, he had to join the US military. Now, Chen Jionghai's uncle, grandfather and other relatives still live in southern Fujian.
Chen Jionghai said: "Several officers, I joined the U.S. Army and have been just a driver. I heard that there was a battle with the Chinese in the front, and I was not wearing a weapon."
Chen Jionghai saw a dozen Chinese people standing in front of him and was not afraid at all. Chen Jionghai knew that Chinese people were kind-hearted and would not kill people indiscriminately.
They actually captured a Chinese descendant, and he was just a driver. Liu Santang's attitude was kind, "Chen Jionghai, since you are a Chinese descendant and have never been on the battlefield, we will not embarrass you, but you have to tell everything you know."
come out."
According to Chen Jionghai, along this fork in the northwest direction, about fifty kilometers ahead, there is the battlefield where the Chinese and Americans are fighting. The battle is fierce. There is a bridge about ten kilometers ahead, and there is a class of American soldiers.
Guards, passing vehicles need to be inspected.
"The United States checks passing vehicles in detail, and is especially wary of some Asian faces," Chen Jionghai reminded.
Fortunately, he met Chen Jionghai and knew that fighting was going on in the northwest. Otherwise, if he kept heading west, he would only get further and further away from the regiment headquarters. Liu Santang said to Chen Jionghai, "Chen Jionghai, we Chinese people will not kill people indiscriminately. Let you be released on the spot. That
The American soldier was seriously injured and you stayed to take care of him. I hope you can fulfill your promise and not become enemies of the Chinese. I also hope that we will not meet on the battlefield in the future."
Liu Santang told Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, you drive. With the help of this truck, if everything goes well, we will return to the regiment headquarters in two hours and meet up with the company commander and instructor."
Lu Chen has been fond of driving cars since he learned to drive in northern Myanmar. He especially likes to drive large trucks, which are tall and powerful and look like tanks when driving on the highway.
The American M35 truck has an empty weight of 5.9 tons, a load capacity of 2.5 tons, a 6×6 drive mode, a top speed of 93 kilometers/hour, and a grass-green canvas shed on the carriage. It was the most common American military truck in the Korean War.
Lu Chen got into the driving position and pressed the car horn "Di Di——", and the sound was long and clear.
Liu Santang and Chen Jiushan discussed, "Platoon commander, according to Chen Jionghai's intelligence, there is a US military checkpoint and a bridge more than ten kilometers ahead. We have to break through. However, we can't break through forcefully. We need a little strategy to surprise us."
The effect is still yours to direct."
Chen Jiushan's military rank was lieutenant, and he was sitting in the co-pilot position as the commander. Others entered the truck compartment and found that most of the truck contained medicines and several boxes of cigarettes. Everyone was very excited. D Field Army had logistical supply difficulties and food supplies.
It is intermittent, and the supply of medicines is even more difficult. Most of the medicines in the truck are equivalent to life-saving medicines.
There are also several boxes of cigarettes, which are rare to see on the battlefield. Er Zhuzi, Ha Dajiang, and Chen Jiushan are addicted to smoking. They often roll dry leaves into cigarettes to deal with them. Er Zhuzi takes out two boxes of cigarettes.
Throwing it into the cab, "Platoon leader, Lu Chen, there are cigarettes, try them -"
Lu Chen picked it up and looked at it. The cigarette box was marked with the brand of cigarette - Marlboro. Marlboro is a cigarette brand manufactured by the world's largest tobacco company. It is one of the best-selling cigarette brands in the world.
I haven't seen Marlboro cigarettes in more than a year.
"Didi——" Lu Chen started the truck and drove northwest along the road. It was winding and winding, with hills on both sides. There were occasional signs on both sides of the road. However, the signs were in Korean and Lu Chen didn't recognize them.
Lu Chen said to Chen Jiushan, "Queen of the platoon, ask deputy director Liu what the signs on both sides of the highway mean and whether we are going in the wrong direction."
Chen Jiushan stuck his head out of the car window, communicated with Liu Santang for a while, and then came back and said, "Deputy Liu pointed out that the sign indicated that Songheli was ahead, not far from our regiment headquarters. She had been to Songheli a few days ago, and the direction was
correct."
After turning a corner, sure enough, there was a river ahead with a stone bridge on it. On the right side of the stone bridge, there was a two-story wooden sentry box. There was a US military sentry on top of the sentry box. There were several US soldiers at the head of the stone bridge.
On alert, Chen Jiushan ordered Lu Chen, "Stop the car more than 20 meters away from the bridge. You pretend to be repairing the car to attract their attention. Leave the rest to me."
Chen Jiushan did not do it blindly this time. He had to use a little strategy. About thirty meters away from the bridge, an American soldier waved a triangular orange flag in his hand, signaling to stop for inspection. Lu Chen grabbed the truck start key and pointed at
Turning to the left, the American M35 truck stalled and slid forward a few meters.
When the U.S. soldier saw the vehicle not obeying the command and driving forward, he shouted, "Stop, check, check!"
Lu Chen stepped on the accelerator and the American M35 truck stopped. Lu Chen came out of the cab, waved to the US troops and soldiers and said, "Several officers, South Korean Army, The engine of the car stalled,requires repairs,forgive(several
Sir, we are the Korean army, the truck stalled and needs to be repaired, unfortunately)."
Lu Chen walked to the front of the truck, lifted the lid of the chassis, and looked inside. He returned to the cab and took out an adjustable wrench. The adjustable wrench was made of pure steel and was 600 mm (0.6 meters) long. Lu Chen lay on the chassis
Under the cover, it looks like a car is being repaired.
Lu Chen had rich combat experience and acted cautiously. Although he did not carry a long gun, he did hold a 600 mm long steel wrench in his hand and an M19170.45 revolver slung around his waist, which was seized from Canadian Lambert.
The M19170.45 revolver was issued to the U.S. Marine Corps in 1950. It has twelve rounds of ammunition, an effective range of fifty meters, and stable shooting.
