Lu Chen looked at the reaction of the US captain, put his two fingers in front of the US captain's nostrils, paused for a while, and said in surprise: "A platoon leader, he is still breathing, this American is still alive."
Chen Jiushan heard Lu Chen's shout and hurriedly came over and put his finger in front of the US captain's nostril and tried it. He felt a weak breath, and a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Ah, there is still one alive, good
, take him back immediately and report to the company leader."
"Dajiang, carry this American up," Chen Jiushan ordered: "Return to the original route and report back to the company commander."
"Yes, platoon leader." Ha Dajiang agreed, and came over with a soldier to prepare to carry the US captain away.
Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, this jeep is still in good condition and should be able to drive. Let me try."
Lu Chen pulled the body of the Korean driver down, sat in the driver's seat, put down the handbrake, and stepped on the accelerator skillfully, "Tutt—" The jeep showed signs of starting, and he shouted excitedly: "A row of
It's long and in good condition, we can drive the jeep back."
Chen Jiushan ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, dragged the bodies of several Korean soldiers into the woods, and seized six American M1 assault rifles, commonly known as Big Eight, and more than a dozen grenades. Seeing Lu Chen start the jeep, he also
He jumped on the jeep excitedly and shouted to Hadajiang: "Dajiang, please take people back, we will go back in the jeep, haha, let's drive."
"Di, di di -" Seeing Chen Jiushan and several soldiers jumping into the jeep as happy as children, Lu Chen started the jeep, turned the car around, and drove west along the mountain road. He saw something appearing on the hillside.
There was a gap between the trees. Lu He estimated that the jeep could pass through the gap between the trees. He turned around and shouted: "Sit down, hold on to each other, I'm going uphill."
"Woo, woo -" Lu He turned the left rudder and stepped on the accelerator. The jeep slowly climbed up the hillside, passed through the gaps between the trees, climbed to the top of the hill, and after crossing the top of the hill, a tree appeared.
The jeep rushed down a very steep slope uncontrollably. Lu He hurriedly stepped on the brakes. The jeep braked suddenly and slowly slid towards the bottom of the steep slope.
Erzhu was originally standing in the back of the jeep. Lu He made an emergency brake, and the jeep braked suddenly. The jeep suddenly stopped. Erzhu was unprepared, and his body was out of control. He rolled over and fell to the passenger seat.
On top of the American captain on board, the jeep suddenly trembled, "Haha--" causing everyone to burst into laughter.
The jeep bumped and undulated all the way through the mountains and forests. After about half an hour, it arrived at a mountain col more than a thousand meters away from the ambush site. This was the temporary camp of the Ninth Company. Most of the soldiers were lying on the hillside to rest.
, Marching in the mountains and forests is difficult, and the distance is usually only a foot of the accelerator. It took nearly half an hour to walk, Lu He thought to himself.
Ha Dajiang and some other soldiers had returned early and were lying on the ground to rest. When they saw Lu He's jeep arriving, they all stood up and came over to carry the US captain off. Ha Dajiang shook his head and said: "Lu Chen, you
What the hell, you can’t walk as fast as us.”
Feng Ren, the commander of the Ninth Company, came over. Feng Ren was about 27 or 28 years old, of medium height, from Lunan, and a veteran. He saw several soldiers carrying the U.S. captain down in a hurry, and he was wrinkled.
He raised his eyebrows and said angrily to Chen Jiushan: "Platoon leader, I asked you to capture prisoners, but you just come back with something like this. He is an American. If you talk about Americans, it's ridiculous, you know."
Chen Jiushan replied aggrievedly: "Company Commander, can you blame me for this? Everyone acted too quickly. Several other Korean soldiers were killed, and only this one survived. It's better to have something than nothing. If it doesn't work, send it to the rear first."
Go to the regiment headquarters."
Instructor Cheng Min came over. Cheng Min was also 27 or 27 years old. He was of medium height and was a veteran. He was also from Shandong Province. Jiulian Company was the foundation of Shandong Laoba Road. Most of them were from Shandong. Cheng Min took a photo
He patted Feng Ren on the shoulder and comforted him: "Old Feng, don't worry. You don't understand American. Lu Chen understands. Lu Chen received training from Americans in India and fought with the Americans in Burma against the Japanese."
, let him examine it first, maybe there is any information."
Cheng Min turned around and shouted: "Lu Chen, come here."
"Here." When Lu Chen heard the instructor calling him, he hurried over and stood at attention with some restraint and said: "Report, instructor, Lu Chen has been ordered to come."
Cheng Min waved his hand and smiled and said: "Lu Chen, don't be so reserved all the time. Our team values the equality of officers and soldiers. We are all brothers when we are together. If you capture an American, you are the only one who understands American."
I'll leave the interrogation to you, go over and interrogate the American right away."
"Yes, instructor." Lu Chen agreed, feeling a little warm in his heart. The instructor still trusted him, and walked towards the captured US captain. Lu Chen felt that almost everyone in the ninth company had opinions about him, and generally stayed away from him. Only
Instructor Cheng Min trusts himself.
Captain James of the US Army had woken up and was resting against a tree. The hygienist was bandaging his wounds. Lu Chen walked over and saw that the hygienist had wrapped a thick layer of gauze on James' head.
The wound on his chest was very serious. Even though it was wrapped with thick gauze, blood still seeped out slowly through the gauze. Lu Chen remembered his feelings when he hit James on the head with the butt of a gun just now. At that time, he wished he could hit James with the butt of the gun.
Just smash James' head. Fortunately, this guy is lucky and seems to be breathing.
"James, captain, James, Army Captain." Lu Chen looked at James' armband and asked in English. James looked at Lu He in horror. He was a little surprised that in this mysterious mountain forest, he could actually meet someone who could speak English.
The man, whose head was still a little numb, just nodded mechanically and replied in a weak voice: "Yesir, sir, yes."
"Where you ***e from Texas, where are you from, Texas?" Lu Chen sat down next to James, trying to relieve James' panic, and chatted with James about home affairs with a smile.
Seeing that Lu Chen was very kind and understood English, James' panic eased a lot. He sat up straight with difficulty and answered: "No, nd, no, Maryland."
"Who at home, is there anyone else at home?" Lu Chen patted James on the shoulder like a friend, and James replied: "mother, one sister, one brother, mother, one sister, and one brother."
Lu Chen's friendly attitude won James' favor, and James told everything he knew about the situation. Unfortunately, James was only a junior officer and had limited understanding of overall military operations.
