Chapter 48: Sino-Korean Union

"Set off!"

As expected, everything was still based on the original history. We received the order to march that night, but where to go and what to do, not only did I, the company commander with the name, didn't know, but even the Instructor Zhao around me, had no news.

But I think this should be the case. The third battle was launched under extreme confidentiality. Before the Volunteer attack, the US military did not receive any slight noise or any warning. In the words of the US military, the Volunteer Army soldiers caught them off guard as if they were coming out from the ground.

The confidentiality work is done well! In this regiment, perhaps only the regiment commander and a few political commissar know the goals and tasks of our marching. If the recruits know about these, maybe a few people fell behind and accidentally became prisoners of the United Army, then that would be...

Alas! I feel a headache when I think of those new recruits. The excitement of their just becoming a soldier is still there. The entire army is marching silently, but I can always hear a little Sichuan voice whispering. And I seem to be very interested in the snow all over the mountains of North Korea. I hold a few handfuls of snow in my hands from time to time to fiddle with. If it weren't for the veterans from the Beach Company helping to help the battle, I think they would have played snowball fights on this marching road.

However, this situation changed quickly. In the second half of the night, the smiles on the new recruits' faces disappeared, replaced by fatigue and pain. They were all frowning and shaking their feet.

This is just the beginning! I was worried when I looked at the new recruits. It was just like this. If the machine guns and cannons were fired, it would be scared!

"Hello comrades!"

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades!"

...

Several cars loaded with the Korean People's Army drove past us. The People's Army on the car waved to us enthusiastically in Chinese, which made me realize that the Korean People's Army also participated in the war.

In modern information, I know that after the Volunteer Army entered North Korea, it won over twenty days of precious time. The Korean People's Army, which was originally struck into a mess, was able to rest and organize. In the third battle, it finally had three legions (1st, 2nd, and 5th legions) with 14 divisions and more than 75,000 people.

The Sino-Korean Joint Command was established. The third battle was the first joint battle between the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the Korean People's Army. It is said that Kim Il-sung wanted to get the command of the Sino-Korean Joint Army at that time, which made me feel a little puzzled. He only had 70,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Why did he even propose to command when he was defeated and almost wiped out?

"Company Commander!" At this time, Xiao Shandong ran up and shouted: "Then, the recruit can't walk anymore, and said he wants to rest!"

"Stay a break!" I couldn't help but curse: "When we rest, can we still catch up with the troops? We have to drag them even if we drag them!"

"yes!"

"I'm talking about Little Shandong!" I couldn't help but say with some dissatisfaction: "You have new recruits in your platoon, and other platoons also have new recruits. Why can't you even get rid of new recruits in other platoons? You have one?"

"I..." I didn't know what to say in Xiaoshandong.

"There are other platoons too!" Zhao Yongxin chased after him and joked: "But other platoon leaders knew that they could not rest, so the recruits who asked for rest were scolded. Xiaoshandong came to report to the company commander when they heard that the recruits were going to rest. Feelings are a habit brought by being a correspondent soldier, so I'm used to passing messages!"

With a "coax...", all the volunteer soldiers around who heard this laughed. Only Xiao Shandong was blushing and stood stupidly and didn't know what to do.

"I'm talking about Little Shandong!" I said angrily: "After you are a platoon leader, don't you pass the microphone, do you understand? Learn from other platoon leaders!"

"yes!"

Looking at the little Shandong running back to the queue, I couldn't help but shake my head. The time was too short, and I didn't adapt to my position at home, just like new recruits and veterans. Although this third battle was not difficult to fight and it was also a great victory, the fourth battle that followed...

"Stay on the spot!"

"Stay on the spot!"

...

At this time, orders were constantly sent from the front of the army. When the recruits heard this order, they all lay down. The whine and complained sounds turned into a circle. They only saw me and Instructor Zhao shook their heads, but no one could do anything about it.

"Captain Cui, Instructor Zhao!" After a while, a messenger came and shouted: "The commander asked you to go there and have a meeting!"

When we arrived, all the cadres of each battalion and company were all here. Dozens of people were sitting sparsely on a clearing space of more than ten square meters. A table was set up in front of several ammunition boxes, and a military map was nailed to the front. Commander Chu and Political Commissar Chen Ye were holding flashlights covered with black cloth and whispering something to the map.

"Comrades!" Seeing that the people were almost here, Captain Chu pointed to the map and said, "Our current location is here. Two kilometers ahead is Linjin River. Our mission this time is to hide in the nearby forest. When the attack order arrives, we will break through Linjin River!"

"Okay!" When the soldiers heard that there was another battle, they all clenched their fists and showed an excited expression on their faces. Of course, besides me.

"Let me talk about the enemy's troops deployment first." Commander Chu said with a serious expression: "The puppet troops along the river are deployed with weak combat power. The north bank of the crossing river is a plain, and the south bank is a cliff that is seven to ten meters high. The river surface ranges from one hundred to one hundred and fifty meters wide, and the water depth is one to two meters."

Having just said this, the volunteers couldn't help but gasp. This terrain means that the volunteers would be exposed to the plains on the north bank, then rushed across the Linjin River, and climbed up the cliffs seven to ten meters on the south bank...

"Has the river frozen?" asked a soldier.

"Although it has been frozen." Chu Tuan said with a stern face: "But the puppet army on the opposite side destroyed the river surface with artillery fire day and night, and the river surface is in a semi-frozen state. According to reconnaissance, there are about two or three barbed wire mesh on the south bank position, and there are large minefields, mixed and laid various mines, and light and dark castles are built at key points, with an ominous number."

After Chu Tuan said this, the soldiers were speechless. Everyone knew in their hearts that the combat effectiveness of the puppet army could be said to be unreasonable. Our biggest enemies now are plains, rivers, cliffs, and landmines...
