The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 567 The hero behind the round battle!!!
During the decade-long period from the Self-Defense Counterattack War to the Two Mountains Rotation Campaign, the frontline soldiers often used a sentence to motivate themselves: "If you want to know how hard it is, think about the Red Army's 25,000-mile Long March; if you want to know how tired it is, look at our military-industrial team."

This is not just a casual remark, but a true portrayal of the life of the logistics and military engineering team members, reflecting the tremendous efforts they have made and the pressure they have borne.

During this long and arduous period of fighting in the two mountains, we also encountered many difficulties in logistical supply to our front-line positions.

However, all this can only be overcome with the support of the logistics support and military industry team members.

Zhou Ang and his men ignored the danger, shuttled through the hail of bullets, carrying heavy supplies, and moved forward step by step, using their fearless courage to bring hope of survival and guarantee of battle to the frontline soldiers.

Members of the military industry team often appear on the most dangerous front lines. On their shoulders they carry not only heavy supplies, but also the lives of their comrades and the hope of victory.

Every mission Zhou Ang and his team undertake is a race against death.

The mountain road was rugged and covered with thorns, and the roar of artillery shells echoed in their ears, but they never retreated.

Even in the night of torrential rain or at noon when the sun is scorching, the military and industrial team members still grit their teeth and persevere, moving forward with firm steps.

Not only do they have to face the harsh natural environment, but they also have to be vigilant against enemy ambushes at all times.

Every action requires extreme caution and tacit cooperation.

Some members of the military engineering team even used their bodies to block incoming bullets in order to protect their comrades.

Their selfless dedication allows the soldiers on the front line to fight with peace of mind and without worries.

The hard work and sacrifice of the military industry team members were also highly praised by their comrades on the front line.

Whenever they completed their mission and returned to the camp, they would always receive a warm welcome and sincere thanks from their comrades.

Those tired smiles seem to say: "We are here as long as you need us."

It is this unity and trust that makes the entire army more resilient in the face of adversity and ultimately usher in the dawn of victory.

During this long decade, the members of the military industry team have demonstrated what responsibility and commitment are through their actions.

Their stories have become the most profound memories in the hearts of the frontline fighters and have also become a role model for future generations to learn from.

Since Zhou Ang was transferred to work in the front-line logistics department, the difficulties he encountered were simply unimaginable.

For example, during an emergency supply mission, Zhou Ang led his military engineering team, carrying dozens of kilograms of ammunition and food, and struggled forward in the middle of the night.

Enemy shells exploded near them from time to time, but they had only one thought: to get these supplies to the soldiers on the front line.

It is thanks to their silent dedication that the daily supplies of the frontline soldiers are guaranteed, laying a solid foundation for the ultimate victory.

Although Zhou Ang and his men did not directly charge into battle, their contribution was equally great.

Logistics and military workers, like frontline soldiers, are true heroes and the most respectable people of this era!

The Two Mountains area is a mysterious and dangerous place with many thrilling stories.

To use a saying that locals often say: "It is difficult for monkeys to climb the top of Laoshan Mountain, and it is difficult for goats to climb Laoshan Rock."

This sentence vividly describes the steepness of Mount L, allowing people to truly feel how difficult the road here is.

Even in peacetime, the terrain of Mount L remains challenging.

Once the war breaks out, the fighting on the front line will be fierce, the enemy and our positions will be intertwined, and the situation will be complicated.

Many key positions are under the enemy's fire control, and every step is full of danger.

In addition, there are many deadly threats hidden in this land.

Venomous snakes often roam the grass, ready to strike.

The mines buried by the enemy are like invisible devils, making it difficult to guard against them.

In such a harsh environment, the road for military workers has almost become a real "road to death".

The military workers not only have to complete the difficult task, but also have to fight against the severe local weather.

In the summer, the sun is so scorching that the ground is hot, the air seems to be burning, and it is so hot that it makes people breathless.

However, in order to complete the mission, the soldiers often had to go shirtless, wear shorts, carry 70 to 80 kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms of weight on their backs, and advance towards the front line with difficulty.

At that time, Zhou Ang had to walk dozens of miles in the steep and muddy trenches every day.

In that narrow and slippery trench, every step was extremely difficult and dangerous.

But Zhou Ang and his companions never hesitated or retreated. They were as strong as camels in the desert. Relying on their strong will and firm belief, they traveled back and forth between life and death time and again.

For example, there was a soldier named Xiao Wang who accidentally stepped on an enemy minefield while transporting supplies.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and with the timely help of captain Zhou Ang, he escaped the disaster.

But Xiao Wang was not scared. After resting for a while, he carried the supplies and continued on his way.

It is precisely because of the bravery and perseverance of these military and industrial fighters that the battle on the front line can proceed smoothly.

In the fierce battles with our army, the "ungrateful wolves" also clearly realized the importance of the military-industrial channel.

You know, all supplies for many important positions on our army’s front line have to be transported through these important channels.

Therefore, the enemy tried every possible means to cut off our supply lines.

They set up many firing points on the roads that our military industry had to pass, blocked the roads tightly, and frantically buried many mines, hoping to deal a fatal blow to our military industry.

Often, these last few dozen meters of journey are like walking into a terrifying place, becoming a huge test of the courage and wisdom of every military worker.

Among all these threats, the most troublesome for Zhou Ang and other military workers are the ubiquitous, insidious and cunning landmines.

These mines come in various shapes. Some are hung on trees, some are hidden in the grass, and some are buried in the soil. There are so many of them that it is difficult to guard against them.

There are dangers everywhere on that muddy road.

If you are even a little careless, you might step on a landmine that explodes if touched.

Many brave military and industrial soldiers were ruthlessly killed by these cruel mines in such sudden attacks.

The situation became even more dangerous when a landmine unfortunately exploded.

At this critical moment, no sound can be made.

Even the slightest sound may lead the enemy to discover the target, triggering a more violent attack and causing more casualties.

At this time, the comrades must remain calm and alert, quickly take out the tourniquet, bandage the injured comrade quickly and effectively, and then transfer him away immediately.

Once, when Xiao Zhang, a military engineer soldier in Zhou Ang's team, was marching, there was a sudden loud noise and a landmine exploded.

Blood immediately flowed from Xiao Zhang's legs, but he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and didn't make a sound.

The comrades next to him quickly bandaged him and then quietly moved him to a safe place.

Such scenes were constantly played out on that difficult battlefield, demonstrating the military workers' strong will and calm spirit in the face of danger.

One night, Zhou Ang and his team undertook an important mission. They took advantage of the cover of darkness and struggled to transport much-needed supplies to a certain high ground.

The night was as dark as thick ink, making the already rugged path even more dangerous.

Coupled with a misjudgment of the route, Zhou Ang and his team unfortunately entered an area full of mines.

Just when Zhou Ang and his team were anxiously trying to find another way to escape from this extremely dangerous place as quickly as possible, a loud noise suddenly came from behind the team.

Xiao Li, a soldier walking at the end of the team, accidentally stepped on a landmine in the dark.

This sudden situation immediately made the entire team very nervous and scared.

Captain Zhou Ang and other soldiers rushed over. They were determined to get the injured Yan Jingzhu to the first aid station as soon as possible, hoping to get the best treatment time.

However, what is touching is that the strong-willed Xiao Li firmly refused and insisted on going alone.

His eyes were full of determination and resolve; he didn't want to drag everyone down because of his injury.

Finally, with the constant persistence and help of his comrades, Xiao Li reluctantly agreed.

They supported each other and moved forward step by step with difficulty.

When they finally arrived at the first aid station, everyone gasped after the doctor carefully examined them.

Xiao Li's injuries at the time were more serious than expected. His right foot and crotch had been severely damaged.

The reason why Xiao Li insisted on leaving alone was because he did not want to be a burden to everyone. He hoped to leave the hope of life to his comrades who fought side by side with him.

But how could the other comrades be willing to give up on him?

This kind of friendship of life and death, this kind of deep comradeship, can only be expressed so vividly and become so precious in a real battlefield where flames of war are raging and bullets are flying.

The mission of the military workers is not only to transport supplies, but also to bring back the injured and sacrificed comrades, especially those who have sacrificed their lives heroically for the country, charging into battle and fulfilling their duties faithfully.

Even if they sacrifice, they should be given the respect they deserve.

No matter how great the difficulties are, no matter how many unknown risks lie ahead, these warriors never back down.

Zhou Ang and his colleagues tried every possible means to overcome one difficulty after another and completed each task excellently.

For example, once, when transporting fallen comrades, the road was blocked by enemy artillery fire.

Zhou Ang and his men risked their lives to open a passage amidst the hail of bullets, and finally successfully brought back the bodies of their comrades.

Zhou Ang and his colleagues' actions reflected their deep friendship with their comrades and their loyalty to the country.

After another fierce battle, night fell and the atmosphere was quiet but tense.

At this time, a team of determined military workers took advantage of the night, carrying heavy supplies, and marched firmly towards a certain high ground, bringing hope of survival and fighting to the defenders who were holding on there.

The instructor of a certain company found Zhou Ang. With an anxious look on his face, he asked the military workers for help in safely delivering a wounded soldier from the high ground.

The experience of this wounded soldier is very heartbreaking. He was injured by an enemy artillery shell while charging.

After being injured, he relied on his strong will to climb to a certain high ground little by little amidst the hail of bullets and artillery fire.

However, as the fighting became increasingly fierce and the situation became extremely tense, the soldier was unable to be sent down for treatment.

Time passed by, and his life was threatened.

If he doesn't receive treatment quickly, the injured person may lose his life at any time.

After hearing the news, Zhou Ang and his colleagues quickly checked the condition of the wounded.

Their hearts clenched when they saw that the wounded man's right arm and left leg were badly blown up and covered in blood.

In order to maintain their lives, the wounded can only rely on plasma replacement therapy.

The situation is already very critical. If we don't carry him down, the consequences will be disastrous.

So, Zhou Ang and his companions made up their minds and said firmly: "We are here to help you! Brother, let us carry you down together!" This sentence was simple but powerful, as if it was a challenge to fate.

At this time, everything was quiet, even the wind stopped blowing, and the whole world seemed to have quieted down.

This rare silence gave them a good opportunity.

Therefore, Zhou Ang and his team immediately began to divide the work, and soon they formed a group of four, steadily lifted the wounded on a stretcher, and prepared to leave the dangerous place.

But Zhou Ang and his companions had just walked about 100 meters when they suddenly heard bursts of gunfire in front of them, like thunder, breaking the previous tranquility.

Although the team members were nervous, they calmly hid in the communication trench. The trench was not particularly strong, but they still found a place to hide.

They cooperated with each other, taking turns, and taking every step very carefully.

When they were approaching Hill 169, they encountered a particularly difficult section of the road.

The mud and water here were dirty and deep, almost up to the knees, and every step was difficult.

Moreover, the explosions around us were getting louder and louder, one after another, making my ears almost deaf and it felt like they were going to burst my eardrums.

At this critical moment, Zhou Ang and his men did not retreat at all.

They gritted their teeth, carried the stretcher on their shoulders, and walked forward carefully, step by step, with firm steps.

Every step is like carrying a heavy burden, and every step is filled with care and responsibility for our comrades.

Finally, they succeeded in carrying the wounded to Hill 169.

On the high ground, Zhou Ang happened to meet a fellow villager who was injured.

Through chatting, Zhou Ang learned that his name was Li Dazhuang.

Although he was seriously injured, after meeting his fellow villagers, Li Sidazhuang endured the pain and specifically asked Zhou Ang not to tell his family far away in his hometown about his injuries so as not to worry them.

The medical soldiers on the high ground arrived quickly and gave Li Dazhuang emergency bandage.

Then, the team transporting the wounded continued to carry him back without stopping for a moment.

For example, on a road where the mud and water were up to his knees, Xiao Liu almost fell down accidentally, but he used all his strength to steady the stretcher and ensure the safety of the injured.

Such thrilling scenes continued to occur throughout the difficult march, but the soldiers transporting the wounded never gave up.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened and the originally blurry road became clear.

Everyone was anxious and quickened their pace.

Because they knew that the earlier Li Dazhuang was sent to the rear for treatment, the more chances he would have to survive, and every minute and every second was crucial.

However, fate was so cruel that despite everyone's best efforts, Li Dazhuang unfortunately died due to severe injuries and excessive blood loss.

Upon hearing this sad news, the team members transporting the wounded were stunned. Then the sadness burst out like a flood, and Zhou Ang and others couldn't help crying.

Li Dazhuang’s sacrifice weighed like a heavy stone on everyone’s heart, and the air was filled with unspeakable grief.

Zhou Ang squatted on a stone by the roadside, holding his head tightly with both hands, tears silently falling.

He remembered that Li Dazhuang was joking with him last night, saying that he would treat him to a drink after his injury healed, but now, that generous voice disappeared forever.

Zhou Ang took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the grief in his heart.

He knew now was not the time to dwell on his sorrow.

They still have missions to fulfill, there are more wounded soldiers who need treatment, and more comrades on the front lines who need help.

Zhou Ang's voice was hoarse but firm: "Brothers, Da Zhuang is gone, but we have to continue. He definitely doesn't want us to stop here."

The military-industrial team regrouped, packed up their gear, and continued on their journey.

Although their hearts were still heavy, their steps were more determined than before.

The morning sun gradually rose in the sky, and the golden light sprinkled on their faces, as if seeing off Li Dazhuang's soul.

…………

Since ancient times, it has always been "before the troops move, the food and fodder must go first!"

After the Korean War, we had a dedicated logistics support system. At the same time, as our country became more and more prosperous, the logistics support system became more and more perfect.

Liu Zhiye, who participated in the Korean War, naturally attached great importance to the logistics support of the troops.

During the self-defense counterattack, all actions showed the terrifying combat effectiveness of the army under the premise of sufficient logistical support.

First of all, on the issue of food and drink, according to statistics, during the total 28 days of combat, the soldiers were able to eat hot meals for 17 days. For the rest of the time, due to the urgency of the battle situation and the need to travel, they also had compressed biscuits, bread, and canned food.

In this way, logistics personnel like Zhou Ang were afraid that the soldiers would not have enough to eat, so they sent large amounts of fruits and radishes to the front line to supplement their nutrition.

Some soldiers are still anxious about the war. After all, war is terrible. The logistics support personnel also have a large amount of cigarettes to supply various troops.

It can be seen from this that during the self-defense counterattack war, there were absolutely no logistical problems such as difficulty in food and drink for the personnel.

In addition to food and drink, the Xia army also had sufficient supplies of artillery ammunition.

Liu Zhiye is also a hot-tempered leader, and all the fears stemming from insufficient firepower are vividly demonstrated by him.

During the one-month self-defense counterattack, the Xia army consumed a total of 1 million artillery shells. Under such intensive artillery fire, there was no position that the Xia army could not capture.

Seeing the dense artillery fire from the lower army, the enemy was eventually forced to flee in panic.

In addition, Xia Jun's mechanized troops also demonstrated very strong combat effectiveness.

Although the Xia army had a lot of damaged tanks on the eve of the war, the Xia army's logistics personnel were able to completely repair the tanks in just one day so that they could be put into battle again the next day.

This is only the data from the first phase of the self-defense counterattack.

During the two-mountain rotation war period, the two-mountain rotation war in these 10 years put an even greater test on logistical capabilities.

However, the Xia army's logistics support system can still withstand the pressure, although a front-line combat readiness warehouse was exposed and abandoned.

However, under the baptism of war, Xia Jun's logistics support system was constantly improving and gradually avoiding drawbacks.

It can be said that although the Xia army did not have such exaggerated logistical capabilities as Sam, with more than 10 logistics soldiers supporting one combat soldier, the overall framework and ideas had basically been gradually improved.

In other words, if the logistical capabilities had been similar to those for the self-defense counterattack war, the final outcome of the Korean War would really be an unknown matter.
