The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 858: Sell weapons and ammunition
Xia Yuan did not waste any time and led four platoons away from the hillock and headed towards the enemy's hinterland.

He had previously observed that an enemy company was stationed in a village in a mountain valley.

There are also sporadic enemies stationed in different ravines.

He basically judged the location of the enemy's base through the locations of these enemy garrison locations. These enemy garrison locations were distributed around the enemy's total force garrison, as if they were surrounded by a circle.

Taking into account the time issue and the platoon supporting them, Xia Yuan chose a conservative plan and launched a sneak attack on the enemies on the periphery.

These enemies on the periphery have supplies, but their numbers will be relatively small.

The risk involved in entering the enemy's station was something Xia Yuan could not estimate and could not bear.

After all, with so many of them operating, the risks they face are huge. Once exposed, many people may die in this operation.

However, even if a conservative plan is adopted, as long as the enemy attacked has some supplies, the plan will be profitable. What's more, the focus of their operation is to catch tongues, not to obtain supplies. The acquisition of supplies is just something Xia Yuan does casually.

It's just that a lot of good things were left behind during the last operation.

After all, we need to get more supplies for this operation.

"Platoon leader, what should we do? It's so dark all around. We can't see anything. Why don't we send a few people to investigate?"

The three squad leaders got together and asked Xia Yuan about his next plan.

The weather tonight is obviously not as good as last night. A large black cloud came from nowhere in the sky, blocking half of the sky and large swaths of starlight, making the whole world dark and the mountains turning into a blur. of black shadow.

Fortunately, there were some snowflakes during the day, and the mountains and fields were covered with a thin white blanket.

The faint starlight reflected on the snow, and the refracted light allowed everyone to barely see into the distance.

"No, just follow me."

Xia Yuan shook his head and sent scouts to investigate. It was too slow. It would be better if he glanced over.

There are many enemies in this area, and most of them are hiding in the dark ravines. If you glance at them, they will look like they are not there.

Xia Yuan led them forward and found two or three nests of enemies in succession. They all chose to give up the attack because of the number of tents stationed there.

Generally speaking, an enemy with a garrison size of about one company has relatively considerable supplies.

However, a platoon of enemies rarely carries a large amount of supplies. Most of the time, the enemies of this platoon are responsible for reconnaissance operations. Because it is late, they temporarily find a place to rest and wait for dawn before returning to the team.

Passing by a village, Xia Yuan motioned for everyone to stop.

He found traces of enemy activity in the village, but there were not many tents.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

Xia Yuan was not sure, and estimated that this group of enemies was probably living in the house, and the traces of activity outside were left by the enemy troops stationed here.

He had experienced a lot in the Korean War, and the enemy troops who chose the village as a garrison location might be in the same company.

As for the enemies who chose to be stationed in the fields, most of them were in a platoon. At least along the way, he encountered enemies stationed in the fields. Their strength was about a platoon, and he rarely encountered a company.

"Be careful, there are mines in this area!"

Xia Yuan turned on his eagle eye and observed the part of the wild land next to the village in great detail. He soon discovered traces of man-made disturbances. They were very subtle, but with his eagle eye, he could sweep them all over. Graphics are generated in the brain.

There are mines buried, and the enemy in the village is likely to be around a company.

"Landmines have been laid. Platoon leader, are there too many enemies here? If we rush in without doing any reconnaissance, there may be major hidden dangers."

Obviously, there are some experienced veterans who have thought of this.

The operations of the Volunteer Army have always been through rigorous reconnaissance operations and tongue-grabbing exercises to find out the enemy's strength as much as possible.

It was precisely this kind of loss that they suffered in the first battle, which caused them to be timid and unable to eliminate a large number of enemies in the first battle.

Therefore, before the start of the second battle, Shiji ordered a comprehensive investigation activity, tongue grabbing, etc., just to get a clear and clear picture of the enemy's situation before the start of the second battle.

But now, they blindly enter the enemy's camp. This is completely the loss they suffered in the first battle, and they will suffer it again.

Xia Yuan has his own considerations. If the enemy's force is a battalion, there will usually be trucks parked there. After all, a battalion not only has several hundred combat units, but also has logistics units and other units. To feed so many people, they need to rely on trucks to pull supplies. To ensure food rations for so many people.

However, by observing the situation in the village, he found neither trucks nor extra tents. It was obvious that the enemy's strength in the village did not reach the level of a battalion.

Secondly, he discovered the enemy's sentry posts, but there were very few, only three, and they were all in the village, not outside the village.

It can be seen that there are not as many cases of this enemy as imagined.

Only three sentries can be arranged, with a strength of about one platoon.

But he also found traces of a large number of enemy activities in the village. He estimated that this should be an enemy company headquarters. The enemy tents he saw in the ravine before should be the enemy dispatched by this company. troops, covering this terrain.

According to the volunteer army's combat experience, if they cover the terrain, they will choose to station on the hills just like the sniper war.

But this group of enemies is in the ravine. It can be basically inferred that this group of enemies is on the move. The enemy stationed here is just a temporary station. They will continue to move forward until the next day.

It is in line with the Volunteer Army's strategy of luring the enemy deep and maintaining contact.

This is why Xia Yuan dared to come down directly. There were not many enemies in this village anymore. If it was really an enemy company, then they would make a lot of money from this operation.

Passing through the minefields laid out by the enemy, the three squads of soldiers quietly sneaked into the alleys of the village. "From now on, we will move freely in the village as a squad unit to clear out some enemies. We are not allowed to open fire unless it is absolutely necessary." Gun exposed!"

"Yes!"

"action!"

The three squads walked through the alley and began to enter the houses on both sides. There were traces of human activities in the village, and there were enemy sentries, which must be on the ground.

Third squad leader Zhao Songzhu led the soldiers to a courtyard with a half-open door. He left a combat team on guard and led others into the courtyard.

There were embers from the fire and empty cans left in the yard. They crossed the yard and quickly approached the house. Three soldiers went to open the door, and six soldiers were responsible for the windows on the left and right. Everyone was ready.

Pushing open the door, starlight poured into the room, and they heard snoring coming from the back room.

"action!"

Zhao Songzhu immediately signaled, and the soldiers filed in and rushed into the house.

"Well!"

Low whimpering sounded, and along with the pervasive smell of blood, several soldiers came out of the room, with a look of solemnity on each of their faces!

"Let's go! Go to the next one!"

They looked for houses that had not been bombed, searched for the enemy, and eliminated the enemy.

Xia Yuan took Xiao Heping and Zhou Mao and quickly shuttled through the alley. He wanted to personally deal with the enemy sentry post, which was not far away.

At this moment, the enemy sentry post did not notice the movement in the village. They were as sleepy as ever and yawning. However, one enemy was smoking, seemingly intending to use nicotine to dispel the sleepiness.

"go!"

The night was hazy, with several figures shaking. A yawning enemy seemed to have seen something and rubbed his eyes. The black shadow that had just flashed before his eyes disappeared again, and the entire alley was silent.

He thought he might be dazzled or too sleepy.

I really hope it’s time to change the shift as soon as possible. The damn superior officer didn’t even allow a fire to start. I heard that a reconnaissance platoon was attacked by the enemy last night and was wiped out.

A battle broke out with the enemy, but unfortunately, the enemy still escaped.

Damn the Chinese, are they so energetic? They don't even sleep in the cold weather.

In the past, they could still light fires to keep warm. Since the Chinese demonstrated their terrifying ability in night raid operations, they were not even allowed to light fires and could only carry them.

He began to miss the warm duck down sleeping bag. It has to be said that American products are good. The duck down sleeping bag is full of warm fluff. It is not to mention how warm it is to sleep in it. It is much warmer than their quilts.

After thinking about it, he felt a little sleepy again, maybe he thought about the warm duck down sleeping bag.

He began to hope that time would pass quickly.

Well!
Suddenly, a pair of cold palms stretched out from behind and blocked his mouth and nose. He looked frightened and began to struggle. Then he immediately felt a cold and sharp thing across his neck, and warmth flowed into his neck. The stinging pain in the body goes straight to the brain, the mouth and nose are blocked, and the air intake becomes less and less.

The whole person has been engulfed in panic.

His consciousness became blurry, and he seemed to see his dead brother waving to him.

"go!"

After taking out one person, they went to take out the other two sentries.

The first squad was lucky enough to push open a room and did not find any enemies, but they saw a pile of boxes piled up.

First squad leader Gao Lin stepped forward and pushed open a box with his bayonet. What he saw were yellow and orange bullets. His face showed excitement, "Quick, open the other boxes and take a look."

The soldiers opened the boxes one after another.

Bullets and grenades were arranged neatly.

There are also some cans.

Some brand-new guns and even submachine guns were found in the rectangular box. It seemed that this was an enemy's house where supplies were stored.

"Quickly, keep an eye on this place. Go tell the platoon leader that the enemy's ammunition depot has been found!"

Gao Lin was so pleasantly surprised that he wiped his brand-new submachine gun and spit on the ground.

"Grandma, with these submachine guns, we can form a stormtrooper squad."

"Squad leader, there are heavy machine guns here!"

"How many?"

"Two thrusts!"

"Let me see!"

Putting down his submachine gun, Gao Lin walked to the speaking soldier, and sure enough, he found two heavy machine guns against the wall. The barrels were glowing with color, and they couldn't tell what model they were, but they actually had baffles.

The box next to it contains bullets for heavy machine guns. There are several boxes, and there must be a lot of them.

"See if there are any shells!"

Gao Lin immediately called on the soldiers to look for cannonballs they could use.

Find a circle.

Apart from ammunition and some canned food, there was nothing else in this room, and judging from the quantity, it was not a lot. It was estimated that it could supply the ammunition needed by a battalion.

Those two heavy machine guns are quite impressive.

"This group of enemies is incredible. They actually store so much ammunition in this village!"

Xia Yuan, who had finished solving the enemy sentry post, came over after hearing the news. After checking the ammunition in the house, he also felt a little incredible.

According to the size of the enemy's garrison in the village, how could a company of enemies store so many supplies, especially canned food.

In the Li Puppet Army's garrison of 2,000 people, there are relatively few canned foods, and more of them are meals for the local people of Li Puppet Army.

"Ignore it for now. To us, these enemies are already penned pigs. Comrade Zhao Xiaoyi, the second squad leader and the third squad leader, keep them alive and let these enemies help us fight for supplies later!"

"Yes!"

There were not that many enemies in the garrison. There were only two platoons of enemies in the entire attack, but they eliminated ten or twenty enemies. In the open space in the village, three rows of enemies were squatting on the ground holding their heads, and their clothes were disheveled.

After Xia Yuan arrived, he stepped forward and asked: "Who is the highest officer here!"

The prisoner squatting on the ground, you look at me, I look at you.

"Don't say yes."

Xia Yuan stepped forward, grabbed a bayonet and pulled up a prisoner. In the frightened eyes of the prisoner, he said coldly: "Every time I ask and no one answers, I will kill one person until I kill all of you unknown!" "

There was silence.

"Go! Kill!" Xia Yuan threw the prisoner to Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen understood and led two soldiers to pull him into the dark alley.

Then a painful groan came from the alley, gradually weakening.

Zhou Wen, wiping his palms, walked out with an inexplicable smile on his face.

An enemy couldn't bear the pressure, stood up tremblingly, pointed at a Li puppet soldier squatting on the ground and said: "This is our commander."

The betrayed officer raised his head in disbelief, and then was pulled out. Xia Yuan kicked him in the stomach, "Damn it, make it easy for us to find him, take him away."

Then these Li Puppet Army soldiers discovered that the soldier who was dragged down was not killed by them.

"Come on!"

The soldiers pointed at the group of Li Puppet Army prisoners and came to the ammunition depot. They asked each of them to carry a box of ammunition. The soldiers carried some more and set off.

On the way, Xia Yuan asked the Li Puppet Army soldier and was surprised to learn that these things were actually hidden by them and were going to be sold to wealthy people in some places in the rear in exchange for some money to prepare for the end of the war in the future.

It's no wonder that the enemy, who doesn't even seem to be able to reach a single company, actually stores so much ammunition.

"These enemies are so dishonest."

Gao Lin and the others learned about it and said with emotion.

Americans came to help them fight the war, but they thought about how to make a fortune.

It's ridiculous.

But they are also quite happy. The more their enemies are like this, then the victory of this war must belong to them.
