Chapter 16: Being attacked from both sides (This chapter is free)

It's been a long time since I've been sleeping so well. I was awakened by a burst of explosions and noises. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a fighter whizzing past my head. I sat up in a shock and found myself in a trench, with a quilt under my body and two beds covered with it. No wonder I felt so comfortable sleeping.

I stood up and lay down by the trench to look down at the mountain. I saw four or five fighter jets circling in front of me, and from time to time they dropped a few bombs, turning the cars, field guns and other cars at the foot of the mountain into a sea of ​​fire.

"Wake up, comrade!" At some point, the old squad leader appeared in front of me, handed over a kettle wrapped in cotton and said, "Drink hot water quickly and drink it while it's hot, and you'll be a Bing Tuozi again in a while!"

I looked at the old squad leader gratefully, took the kettle and poured it into my mouth carefully. I felt a warm current flowing into my stomach and intestines along the esophagus, and then spread to my whole body, making me feel so comfortable that I couldn't help but tremble all over.

"What's wrong?" After taking two more sips of hot water, I looked at the fighter planes in front of me and asked the old squad leader in confusion.

"No!" The old squad leader pointed to the piles of cars with fire and smoke at the foot of the mountain. The cannon said, "You fainted. I don't know. Our regiment chased the enemy for ten miles and seized a lot of cars. The cannons, but these things are too big and too heavy. There are not many people who can drive cars in our regiment. It can't hide or transport them, and they can only watch these treasures blown into scrap iron by the American plane!"

"So that's it." I said in my heart that it was so powerful. No wonder the equipment of the Volunteer Army has never been good. It turns out that the Americans have this trick.

Let’s look at those fighters, it seems to be the Mustang fighters I’ve seen in the information before. The Americans’ things are advanced. Although this Mustang fighter is a fighter, it can also be used as a bomber. Because it can use six machine guns on the wings to conduct air combat, and can also hang various bombs to complete bombing tasks. It can even carry rockets to attack tanks, bridges, fortifications and other military targets.

The most important thing is that it can take off using a simple runway. This makes it easy to take off and land safely on aircraft carriers and some of South Korea's simple airports. So it is naturally the most used aircraft by the US military in the Korean War. Even if the jets later participated in the war, it also occupied a very important position.

"Hey...wake up?"

A familiar voice turned from behind me. I turned around and saw that Captain Chu and Political Commissar Chen walked towards this side under the cover of the guards. I quickly stood at attention and saluted.

Commander Chu looked at me first, then asked the old squad leader, "Are you injured? Why did Platoon Commander Cui faint?"

"No, there is no injury!" The old squad leader grinned with his wrinkled face and said, "Planer Cui is... I haven't had a good sleep these days, I'm tired!"

"Oh!" Captain Chu felt relieved and patted my shoulder and said, "Wow, Platoon Leader Cui, he played beautifully. It's a bit like a magic pen?"

"The pen of God!" Chen Ye reminded him.

"Yes, it's that magical stroke!" Captain Chu clapped his hands as if he had discovered a new continent: "Planer Leader Cui! You can break into the enemy's formation alone to fight. Your heroic spirit and fearless style are worth learning from!"

"Well, this..." My face couldn't help but feel hot. I am not brave enough to be afraid of death? If the commander knew that my original intention was to escape...

"That's really a bit dangerous!" Chen Ye nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the enemy's firepower was so strong that it almost suppressed us. If those enemies were allowed to steal the mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable. Platoon Leader Cui made another contribution!"

"Oh! It's just a pity for those cannons." Captain Chu sighed and said, "I have been working in revolutionary work for so many years, and I have never seen so many cannons, more than two hundred field cannons! All of our cannons are not so many."

"The leader... is a little wrong!" I said with a frown.

"What's wrong?"

"How could the enemy pull the artillery in front to fight? Let's catch us right!"

The Americans' fighting method is to form a front with a large number of troops in the front and bombard it with long-range cannons in the rear. The puppet army was also trained by the Americans, and the combat method should be similar. But now we have seized so many long-range cannons. Does that mean we have hit the rear of the enemy?

Chen Ye said, "These puppet troops rushed to the Yalu River and advanced separately in divisions or regiments. It's nothing wrong for us to encounter artillery soldiers! Platoon Commander Cui, are you thinking too much?"

"Captain, do you have a map?" I said.

"Map!" Captain Chu waved his hand, and soon a guard came up to spread the map.

After looking at the map for a while, and combining the information I remembered, I said worriedly: "Captain, I think we are going to be surrounded."

"What?" Captain Chu was stunned.

"What do you mean?" Chen Ye also came over to look at the map.

"Captain, political commissar, look." I pointed to the two roads directly from Wenjing to Yalu River and said: "There are two roads from Wenjing to Yalu River, one from Wenjing to the ancient court and then to Chushan by the Yalu River, and the other is the road from the two water caves we came to. The enemy was also driven back by us on this road. But what we didn't expect was that after the two water caves were defeated by us, the enemy did not give up the original plan, but just changed the road and continued to drive from the ancient temple to Yalu River."

"You mean, the main force of the Sixth Division of the puppet army is behind us?" Commander Chu was shocked.

"That's right." I nodded and said, "What we just attacked should be the artillery regiment that the 6th Division of the puppet army followed behind. Their main force should have passed Wenjing and drove towards the Yalu River. We captured Wenjing and broke their retreat. We knew that we were surrounded by our army and the Sixth Division of the puppet army would inevitably retreat. We are now just blocking their retreat."

"I didn't expect that the main force of the Sixth Division of the Puppet Army was accidentally surrounded by our army." Regiment Commander Chu frowned and said, "But other puppet army troops will definitely come to rescue after they learn that the Sixth Division of the Puppet Army were surrounded. We will soon fall into the enemy's encirclement."

"Then...Old Chu!" Chen Ye said worriedly: "Do you see if we retreat before the enemy has arrived?"

"Yeah, yeah!" I nodded in my heart. Chen Ye really said to me. The entire South Korean army was heading towards the Yalu River! There were about one of their troops behind. I don't know how many divisions there were in front. We were in the middle. If we didn't leave quickly, we would wait...

"No!" Unexpectedly, Commander Chu refused flatly: "Although we are surrounded, the Sixth Division of the Pseudo-Sixth Division is also surrounded by our army. In order to achieve greater results, I think we should nail it here like a nail. Even if we can't eat the Sixth Division of the Pseudo-Sixth Division, we have to peel it a layer of skin!"
