"Captain!Captain!"

Hu Zi and I each carried two boxes of biscuits, and the bread ran back to the army. The familiar packaging along the way had already attracted the attention of the soldiers, but they might not believe that there was such a thing in the world. When we couldn't even eat wild vegetables, there were still whole boxes of bread. Therefore, most soldiers did not take it seriously when they saw us carrying these boxes of things. The old squad leader even grinned and cut: "It's a fool! This is not the way to draw cakes to satisfy hunger!"

But when we ran to the commander and threw the boxes of things on the ground, rolled out a lot of bread and biscuits from the box, the soldiers were all stunned, and then they surrounded them with a hura and reached out to grab them...

"Balls! All are standing!" Captain Chu ordered the soldiers and stood back and lined up again.

"Look at what you are like?" Captain Chu said with a slight face: "A few boxes of biscuits make you all become beggars scramble for food, and there is no way to look like a revolutionary soldier!"

Chen Ye was also alarmed by the sound outside and came out of the air-raid shelter. When he saw several boxes of bread on the ground, biscuits asked in confusion: "I said, Battalion Commander Cui, where did these things come from?"

"Political Commissar! Let the comrades eat first! Look at the comrades are hungry..."

"Stop it!" Political Commissar Chen Ye said earnestly: "Battleman Commander Cui, the food we raised when we were alone in our regiment can still be used by ourselves. Now the soldiers of the army are hungry. After we eat the other comrades, they all drink the northwest wind? They are all hungry and die. Do you know? Comrade Xiao Cui, we must have the ideological awareness of revolutionary soldiers and follow everything..."

"Political Commissar! There's still something!" I couldn't help but interrupt the political commissar after hearing this: "There are five cars full, enough for our army to eat for a while!"

"Five cars?" Hearing the words, Captain Chu and Political Commissar Chen Ye were stunned. The soldiers couldn't help but their eyes shiny and their faces were filled with joy.

"Where is it?" Captain Chu quickly became nervous: "Don't let the American plane find it and it will be exploded!"

"Don't worry! I can't blow it up!" I smiled and said, "Captain, do you remember the large amount of food we seized when we fought the 29th Brigade of the British Army last time?"

"Remember!" Captain Chu nodded: "Later, you were driving a few trucks of food, and were chased by the American plane all the way..."

Speaking of this, Chief Chu couldn't help but be stunned, glared at me and continued, "Are you saying that the food was not blown up by the Americans?"

"No, it's not exploded! It's all buried in the tunnel. We just need to spend some effort to dig out the grain!"

"Hey! Good boy, you..." Captain Chu blew his beard and glared at me as soon as he heard it, and said, "You actually kept me in the dark, you are very brave!"

"Comrades!" I ignored me and grinned at the head, and ordered the soldiers: "Eat something first, after eating, I have the strength to dig up the food!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded and quickly lined up.

Seeing that they were hungry, they bite the food before they even opened the packaging as soon as they received the food, and then swallowed it down...

When Commander Chu reported this to his superiors, the entire army was shocked. The military headquarters soon learned the news and ordered all troops not to dig grain without authorization to prevent it from being discovered by enemy planes. He also sent a reconnaissance company to guard the tunnel until the night fell before sending people to dig out the grain.

This batch of food is said to be life-saving food for the entire army, so I can also understand the cautiousness of the military headquarters. However, the volunteers were all hungry and could not dig food. That was so anxious. Many people didn't believe that such good things were happening, and they couldn't help but come to me to verify, and I couldn't speak.

Finally, in order to save trouble, I put on a loaf of bread and posted a note on it saying "use this as evidence", but later I found that this could not stop the soldiers' pace, because most of them were illiterate. Later, I had to let Hu Zi hold the bread to block it, but not long after, he ran back happily to tell me that the only bread left as evidence had been distributed to him to the hungry comrades... As a result, I couldn't argue, but fortunately it turned dark after a while and the food was quickly sent to them.

What surprised the soldiers even more was that two of the five trucks of grain were loaded with rice and two trucks of rice, so the soldiers finally had a long-lost rice.

"Comrades..." It was night. After the soldiers were full, Captain Chu summoned the cadres to a meeting, but after saying the last sentence, he burped indecently, which attracted laughter from the soldiers.

Captain Chu smiled embarrassedly and said relaxedly: "After eating and drinking, let's sit down and chat and discuss how to fight the Japanese!"

Captain Chu's words caused laughter from the soldiers again.

"Comrades!" Chen Ye continued, "First of all, I want to tell you that our soldiers on the front line have already had sex with the Americans. They have no food or bullets. They just use bayonets, blood and life to block the enemy north of the Han River! It's not easy for them..."

The soldiers couldn't help but remain silent when they heard this, because everyone knew the feeling of being hungry, not to mention that they had to fight against the enemy even if they were hungry and lacked bullets.

In modern information, I know that the retreat of the Volunteer Army was planned. The entire army was divided into two echelons and three defense lines were deployed. The first line of defense is the one that has been opened. It starts from the mouth of the Han River in the west and extends more than 150 kilometers east along the north bank of the Han River. It invests four volunteer troops and four Korean People's Army corpses, a total of eight troops.

Because the ice layer of the Han River has begun to melt, this line of defense is the main line of defense of the Volunteers, and we strive to defend on this line of defense for twenty to thirty days, and it is better if it can be supported for a longer period of time.

If the supply is sufficient, the volunteer soldiers will likely rely on the fortifications on the north bank of the Han River to hold on fortifications in the north bank of the Han River for a long time to block the United States south of the Han River, because it will be a landing battle. When the US troops attack the beach head on a landing craft, before they can fully deploy their troops, the volunteers will blow their military horns and use their superior forces to counterattack, and they can easily drive them back to the river. It is cold and the just melted river water will definitely leave a deep impression on the US military.

It’s a pity that the current volunteers are hungry and don’t have much ammunition.

"Comrades!" Chen Ye changed his tone and slowed down his tone and said: "This battle, we have changed from high-spirited to fighting and retreating. A very small number of comrades have more concerns and lack confidence. Although it is a certain phenomenon, it has a great impact. Some soldiers even reported: 'It is difficult to win with our army alone', 'The enemy's artillery fire is powerful and difficult to fight', and some cadres said: 'When will the war end?', some comrades complained: 'Why are our cannons not fire? Why don't our planes come?' and other negative remarks, these remarks will directly lead to bad phenomena such as lax management of our team and violation of the discipline of returning to the masses. All units must strengthen education and publicity, promptly correct the above-mentioned ideas that conflict with our army's discipline, and reverse the lack of confidence in our army!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, but many people were talking quietly below. This made me realize that negative thoughts did appear in the volunteer army as Chen Ye said. But it was no wonder that the higher the climb, the worse the fall. In this battle, the volunteer army was all confident to drive the Americans out of the sea, but now they are beaten back... Even the strong volunteer soldiers cannot withstand this huge psychological contrast...

"Comrades!" Chen Ye continued: "We must face up to our shortcomings and difficulties. When the supply cannot keep up, our retreat is inevitable, but I believe this is only temporary and we will call back soon!"

"Yes, comrades!" Commander Chu nodded heavily: "The US military started attacking three days ago. Just when we crossed the Han River, they knew that we were facing a situation where we were exhausted from ammunition and food. They knew that we had been fighting for several months in a row, so they would not give up such a good opportunity. So they bombed our supply line even more crazily and attacked the Volunteer Army's defense line even more desperately, trying to trap us, starve us to death, and defeat us. Comrades! You guys, can we let them succeed?"

"No, no!"

"Yes!" Chen Ye also waved his fists and said, "Our volunteer army cannot be defeated or defeated. At any time, we must stand up tenaciously and fight against all reactionary forces. We must never bow our heads in front of the enemy!"

"Never bow your head! Never bow your head!" The soldiers all clenched their fists and exuded anger from their hearts. Only then did I realize that it was actually very easy to ask the volunteers to throw away their negative thoughts and boost their morale again.

"Very good!" Commander Chu nodded, then pointed to the map and introduced: "We belong to the second echelon. The defense line starts from Wenshan in the west and goes east to Yu Government. Through Zhujinshan, Qingyushan, the guards of the defense mountain, and the north bank of the Hongchuan River to Hongchuan, we are stationed in our 26, 40 and 39th armies respectively. Our mission is to build fortifications and accumulate strength. When the soldiers on the first line of defense retreat, we must hold back the United Nations troops that followed him and cover the soldiers' retreat!"

"What the superior means..." Chen Ye added: "We must pay attention to protecting the living power, and do not act emotionally and fight with the enemy to consume. In other words, we should not defend our positions to the death. The purpose of our army is to delay the enemy's advance north as much as possible."

"Political Commissar!" After hearing this, the soldiers became a little confused. One soldier asked in confusion: "How long should we stay in the position?"

"Twenty-four hours!" Captain Chu said decisively: "This is the time set by our line of defense. Each position must be held for twenty-four hours. Once the time comes, you can give up the position and retreat, and then continue to build fortifications on the second line!"

"Comrades!" Chen Ye finally concluded: "We must make good use of this period of time to speed up the construction of fortifications. This period of time was exchanged for blood and life by the soldiers on the front line. We must not waste any waste!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and prepared to go.

When the volunteers went south, the government was the gateway to Seoul. This time the United Nations troops headed north, the government was also an important transportation hub, because the roads and railways from Seoul were divided into several lines and extending to the north. If they were to defend here, they could greatly delay the advancement speed of the enemy's mechanized troops.

For such a military important place, the Volunteer Army arranged two divisions to guard the two highways to the north of the government. As for the railway, it would not take a moment to re-activate it.

At this time, I couldn't help but sigh again about the advanced wisdom of the North Korean people. They could actually predict that the United Nations would come back, and it was possible to use the railway here and demolish and sell the railway tracks in advance.

The position of the 118th Division is located next to the highway from the Ye Government to Baochuan. Here, along the highway, there are more than ten hills of highlands scattered northward, which just happened to become the position for the volunteers to block the US military.

Our battalion's position is on one of the hills, and this time we were very lucky not to be in the first row. In fact, this is also the reason for the serious reduction of personnel. Originally, a company was stationed at the hills, but now a battalion has to be arranged.

The fortifications are still mainly based on the reverse slope, because the volunteers have realized that the fortifications on the front have no meaning except for consuming some US military shells, and the US military has the most lacking in artillery shells, so they all built the fortifications on the reverse slope.

I don’t know if it was because I was not hungry or what Chen Ye said had worked. The soldiers were all holding back their energy to dig tunnels and repair fortifications. Although they were divided into two shifts and worked for half a day and had a rest for half a day, the soldiers consciously joined the ranks of digging tunnels, carrying wood, and transporting soil when they were resting. Especially after a few days later, after sending bloody wounded soldiers on the front line, the soldiers’ enthusiasm for working can be described as desperate.

In the end, it took less than ten days to build two tunnel fortifications on the hills, one mountain as the main position and the other as the second line position after retreat. Moreover, the fortifications are not comparable to those built on the repair of the fortifications.

"Battorney General, what should we do now?" After the repairs, the soldiers were stunned. Seeing that the soldiers from other battalions were still busy, but the people in our battalion seemed to have nothing to do, so several company commanders found the battalion headquarters and asked for instructions.

"The tunnels have been dug? The passage to the top of the mountain has been laid?" Xu Feng asked in disbelief.

"All have been dug!" The soldiers patted their chests: "We have dug once in the repair of the mountain, aren't we? We're familiar with each other!"

Xu Feng had no idea for a moment, so he couldn't let all his comrades go back and sleep!

"This is how it goes!" I suggested from the side: "We have all fought with the Americans, and we all know that once this battle starts, even the two high grounds next to each other will be blocked by the Americans' artillery fire, and it is difficult to contact them. I think, if we have time, we might as well dig a passage between the high ground..."

"Good idea!" Xu Feng was worried that the soldiers under his command had nothing to do, and nodded in agreement without thinking: "Just do this, you can contact comrades from other highlands and dig them together."

"Yes!" The soldiers who seemed to have overenergized quickly went out with great enthusiasm. But I was secretly proud of myself. In fact, the purpose of asking the soldiers to dig this passage was more important. I thought that if I could retreat for twenty-four hours under the enemy's artillery blockade, if it was twenty-four hours during the day, would I be able to retreat? As soon as I left the tunnel and retreated, wouldn't it be that the enemy's planes would blow down a large area of ​​cannons...

There is no need to worry about this this time.

It was the night moon and the stars were sparse, the wind was swaying, and a few crows were chirping on the old trees. After several wars, the fields were desolate, with burning dead trees, cars and tanks everywhere, which was quite a bit depressed after the war. But a few cannons came faintly from afar, which kept reminding us that the war was still going on.

At this time, I had just put away the engineer's shovel and dragged my tired body to return to the tunnel to rest for a while, but suddenly the sentry shouted from above: "There is something! There is something..."

"There is a situation! There is a situation..."

The soldiers passed the news one after another, and without waiting for the order, the soldiers who received the news quickly grabbed their guns and crawled out of the tunnel and climbed to the top of the mountain.

I also picked up my rifle and climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking forward, there seemed to be a team running towards us in the darkness in the distance, without sound or any light.... Thanks to the fact that this sentry could find it.

"Please think it's our army! It's probably the comrades in front who have retreated!" the old squad leader muttered in a low voice.

But in order to prevent accidents, the soldiers were ready for battle.

"Liberate the New China!"

"Serve the people! We are from the 38th Army!"

When the soldiers heard this sound, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's the comrades from the 38th Army who have come down!"

As he said that, the comrades ran down the mountain at the same time, and some careful soldiers returned to the tunnel and brought some food.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades!"

"Comrade, fight well!"

...

The soldiers went down the mountain to welcome the comrades of the 38th Army. They all saw that they were covered in blood, their clothes were torn, and their faces were deformed. They didn't even have the strength to say something or smile at us. When they saw the bread handed over by the soldiers, they snatched it and swallowed it. Many soldiers even found that they had reached their own defense line, and they could no longer get up once their feet were weak...

"Are the enemy following?" At this time, Captain Chu also ran up, and he grabbed a soldier and asked.

The soldier shook his head and replied weakly: "We did not let the enemy discover it when we retreated!"

"Captain Chu!" At this time, a soldier walked up and saluted with his only left hand, Captain Chu: "I'll leave it to you next!"

"Captain Zhang, you..." It seemed that after a long time, Commander Chu recognized the other party. He couldn't speak when he looked at the warrior.

Commander Zhang didn't say anything, smiled softly, and then ordered his subordinates: "Leave all the ammunition to the comrades of the Forty Army!"
Chapter completed!
