The heavens start from Changjin Lake

After eating this big bowl of salt accompanied by sorghum rice, the soldiers gained strength, and they also became more energetic when carrying food. They all wanted to deliver delicious food to the frontline soldiers as soon as possible.

At this time, Zhao Mingming ran over with some members of the guard platoon, and said: "The situation ahead is very bad. I just received comrades. The enemy is attacking here. We have already had troops fighting with the enemy. The superior issued an order. A new order has been issued, all cars must transport the wounded, and no more deliver food to the front.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the news.

Liang Yulin said anxiously: "Comrade, the soldiers on the front line are still fighting the enemy hungry, and the commander is still waiting for our food."

What can I do, there is no radio station to contact the division headquarters.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

The guns in the guard platoon soldiers at the military depot had their guns pulled out. It seemed that the situation was very urgent. Zhao Mingming said: "Comrade, you don't want to go back anymore. Hurry up and take the lightly wounded of your division. Xiang Hua Sichuan transfer."

Seeing that everyone was very surprised and remained motionless, he hurriedly said: "Oh, comrade, don't hesitate, act quickly."

There is really no other way now, the enemy is coming, and there are still a large number of wounded in the military depot.

Food, wounded, can only choose one.

Liang Yulin and Wang Shaowu had no choice but to take the compressed medical records they had just moved with the team, ran along a small ditch, found a field hospital built in the mountains, and saw some minor injuries in the field hospital. member.

When the wounded saw that they were from the [-]th Division, they were very happy. Some of them were still wrapped in gauze, so they stood up and applauded recklessly.

A man stood up staggeringly, stood at attention and saluted, and said, "Officer Liang, my injury has healed, will you take me back to the front line?"

At this time, another person stood up with difficulty, walked up with a limp, and said, "I am from the second battalion of the [-]th Regiment. Let me go back too?"

"Come on, you see that your legs and feet haven't healed yet, you can rest here with peace of mind. My injury is healed, let me go back first!"

"What? You can do it, I can't? I can at least load a bullet and throw a grenade, hum!"

"Officer Liang, just take the rest of us back. We promise that we won't cause any trouble for you on the way."

There were a lot of wounded in the field hospital. When they saw Liang Yulin and the others, they all surrounded them, eager to return to the front line.

Liang Yulin stepped forward, waved his hand, first stabilized everyone's excitement, and then said: "Okay, stop arguing, comrades, we are not here to take you back to the front line, I understand everyone's feelings, Our division is working very hard now, and the casualties have increased greatly. Comrades, think about it, the division finally transported you to a safe place. I really let you go back. That is causing trouble for the division. Comrades on the front line. When fighting the enemy, you also need to take care of you, right? Therefore, only when your injuries are healed can you not cause trouble to the troops. When your injuries are healed, I promise to take you back."

"Officer Liang, we listen to you."

After Liang Yulin finished speaking, the soldiers became less agitated and calmed down a lot.Wang Shaowu was counting the number of people, for fear that one person would be left behind. There were 72 wounded in total. Everyone packed up their things. Liang Yulin said: "Every member of the team takes care of the four wounded. If the wounded are left behind, if there is a problem, we will be held accountable." Whose responsibility, let's go."

In this way, after organizing the wounded, Liang Yulin and Wang Shaowu immediately began to transfer.

The main road was already crowded with retreating people and vehicles, and it was chaotic. I didn't know which unit was busy retreating. Liang Yulin and the others asked. They were from the [-]th Division. They also had a large number of wounded to be transported, so they followed Going forward together, without a guide or a map, everyone has only one direction to transfer to the north.

There were a lot of brother troops moving north along the way. The order was very chaotic, but not very chaotic. No one made any loud noises, and they all hurried on their way silently.

Enemy planes often come to attack suddenly, and bombed Soviet GAZ vehicles can be seen everywhere, some of which are still burning.

This is not like a retreat, but more like a great escape. On the way to escape, the atmosphere of the troops was very oppressive, and there were too many wounded. There were often soldiers who fell down suddenly while walking on the road, and never stood up again.

It was said that Chunchuan had fallen.

Food could not be raised, and Liang Yunlin didn't bring any news back, so he didn't know what was going on.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the military headquarters hadn't sent back a telegram. The squad leader of the cooking squad came to the division headquarters with a steaming pot, and begged:

"Teacher, please eat something. You haven't eaten for several days. If you don't eat, how can you hold on?"

Master Zheng put down his pencil, stood up and walked forward, asking: "Squad Leader Chen, the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line have been out of food for several days, some chew tree roots, some eat weeds, how can we eat in the division headquarters? Food, bring it to the wounded."

"Teacher, where is there food? These, alas, sir, you can see for yourself." Squad leader Chen sighed helplessly.

Master Zheng lifted the lid of the pot, and a few weeds and tree roots were boiled in the steaming hot water. The boiled ones turned green, and the smell was a bit unpleasant.

"It's better to have something than nothing, old Duan, bring the tea mug, let's eat a little each, fill our stomachs, and have a short meeting by the way."

He turned his head and thanked Squad Leader Chen, "Squad Leader Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Squad leader Chen hesitated, as if he had something to say, Mr. Zheng said: "Squad leader Chen, if you have anything else to say, just say it, we don't have so many rules."

"Teacher, then I'll tell you." Squad leader Chen sighed and said, "We have been out of food for so many days, and many soldiers have nothing to eat. They suffer from night blindness, and they can't see clearly during the day. We can’t let the logistics comrades send us some food, even if there is only a little, it’s fine.”

Teacher Zheng said in a difficult way: "Squad Leader Chen, the enemy has blocked our logistics very tightly. The logistics comrades risked their lives to deliver food to us, but they still couldn't deliver it. For the food, I would like to thank them and you on behalf of Lao Duan, and if there is any news about the food, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Squad leader Chen had no choice but to nod, turned and left.

Teacher Zheng looked at Squad Leader Chen's back for a long time, until Squad Leader Chen's back disappeared, and then came to the division headquarters with an iron pot, and asked Lao Duan to pick up some from the tea mug to cushion his stomach.

They vacated an empty table, each took a tea mug, sat on a stool, drank and chatted about the situation of each unit.

"The casualties of each unit are particularly heavy. The 1000th Regiment, including non-combatants, has less than [-] people. The casualties of the [-]th Regiment have already exceeded half. The wounded, the number of people who can continue to fight is decreasing, many positions have been fought back and forth no less than ten times, many positions have been lost, and our defense zone is being tightened."

Director Wu looked at the report in his hand with a heavy heart.

They have never fought a battle like this before, it is too difficult.

"Food has been out for several days, and ammunition is seriously insufficient. Up to now, many soldiers in the positions are relying on their tenacious fighting will to stand firm. The casualties of each company are very heavy. Many companies have no one. Live and die."

Chief of Staff Wang's voice was also very heavy. After he finished speaking, he put his hands on the table.

Before Xia Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the chiefs. The pressure on the frontline soldiers was great, and the pressure on the chiefs was even greater. Facing the cold numbers, they were all sacrificed soldiers. As a living being, the chiefs are not very good at showing their emotions on their faces, but they are very uncomfortable in their hearts.

"Heh, this tree root is very soft when boiled, just like noodles. Try it, it tastes pretty good."

Mr. Zheng used the branches as chopsticks, chewed the roots, and said cheerfully.

Xia Yuan was surprised and put a little bit in his mouth to chew, it was dry and hard to swallow, like chewing wax, but Mr. Zheng still ate happily. On the other hand, the expressions on the faces of the other chiefs were different, and Deputy Mr. Duan had a bit of aggrieved expression on his face. , the expressions of Director Wu and Chief of Staff Wang didn't change much.

Suddenly, as if he understood something, he laughed dryly: "It tastes really good, Deputy Teacher Duan, you should try it too."

"Okay, okay, my division commander, the military department hasn't responded yet, why should we just wait like this?" Deputy division commander Duan was aggrieved, unable to fight, and was still working here, wasting time, the troops Just fight it out, he just wants to reduce some casualties.

"Old Duan, don't worry, the military department may also be discussing the feasibility of this plan, no matter what, we can retreat after completing the task of blocking the enemy."

Mr. Zheng smiled, and as if he remembered something, he said, "Oh, by the way, what happened to the route Xia Yuan was thinking about?"

When this matter was mentioned, the expression on Deputy Master Duan's face softened a little, and he said, "Master, this kid is really a genius, let alone the route he set up is really not a problem."

"Oh?" Mr. Zheng came for a while and said, "Tell me."

Deputy Division Commander Duan immediately walked to the map and said, "Teacher Commander, look here. This position is where Xia Yuan crossed the river with a company. There are three iron cables. The Han Army is here to deploy defenses. The strength of the Han Army is about one regiment. The combat power is not strong, Xia Yuan's plan is to send troops to feign an attack in the east to attract the main force of the enemy to move eastward, from this gap, defeat the defenders at the ferry, and go all the way south. After going south, the troops move eastward and directly attack the Han army's ass."

Master Zheng thought about it: "The plan is relatively simple, but it is very practical, but we have to consider that the enemy has mechanized troops. In the rear, although the enemy's troops are empty, once the enemy chases us with mechanized troops and traps us in the east, the situation will be even worse. Not good, and according to the previous order issued by the military department, it was mentioned that the enemy on the Eastern Front had five divisions of the Korean Army. A division with a shortage of ammunition, how can it guarantee that it will not be surrounded by these enemies."

The situation faced by the [-]th Division is quite severe.

To the north is a large mountain, and the troops of the US Seventh Division have also circled from the east to the north, occupying many key points.

The U.S. 24th Division is chasing after the rear, the Han [-]th Division to the east, the [-]th U.S. Division to the east, and the [-]st Marine Division to the north.

The decision to break out from behind is indeed a new path, but the enemy's rear situation should not be underestimated. There are five divisions of the Korean Army on the east front and hundreds of thousands of United Nations troops on the west front. The enemy troops of the unit can quickly pursue along the road, and can re-encircle the [-]th Division in a day.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xia Yuan ate the boiled wild grass roots without saying a word, only to hear Deputy Commander Duan continue to say: "Master, Xia Yuan's plan is this. Afterwards, we sent a battalion of troops to move eastward, and dispatched divisional radio stations to follow them, sending out signals frequently to give the enemy the illusion that our main force was moving eastward. Cross the Han River."

Master Zheng was stunned, lit a cigarette, and thought carefully, "We don't have detailed information about the enemy. Once we make a mistake, we will fall into the enemy's siege again."

Deputy Teacher Duan said with a smile: "Master, the current situation is bad enough, what could be worse than the current situation?"

Mr. Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked back at Xia Yuan, turned his head and said to Deputy Mr. Duan, "Old Duan, you didn't say that yourself."

Deputy Teacher Duan smiled, "In short, the current situation is like this. Any plan, as long as there is hope, is worth trying."

Master Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "That's true, but this type of combat requires a lot of support from the situation."

Xia Yuan listened, and suddenly said: "Master, the intelligence problem is actually easy to solve. The U.S. military uses mechanized troops, and the route they choose must be the main road, and the small road will send planes for low-altitude reconnaissance. The possibility of moving through the small road is very high. Small, we only need to send scouts to keep an eye on the situation on the road, we have a chance."

Master Zheng looked at the map silently. What Xia Yuan said was completely reasonable. Small roads, especially mountain roads, are very inconvenient for the enemy's mechanized troops to deploy. The rugged mountain roads will even seriously affect the speed of marching. If the enemy knows that we If the army marches southward and crosses the line of defense they built, they will definitely send troops to pursue them, and the route of pursuit will inevitably choose the main road. The speed is fast, and they can catch up with the [-]th Division going southward in a short time.

If it were him, he would also let the motorized troops pursue along the road, and the gains outweigh the losses by taking small paths.

If the division radio station is allowed to frequently transmit signals to confuse the enemy, the enemy's large troops will definitely be confused by our army. When the enemy redeploys, there will inevitably be vacancies in the rear. These vacancies are their retreat routes.

Mr. Zheng studied the map carefully, and felt more and more that the feasibility of this plan was very high, "It's a good plan."

The plan is a good plan, but the military department has not yet agreed to their plan to go south.
