The ranks of the 346th Regiment were opened, as the main combat force of the 39th Army, there were more important tasks waiting for them ahead, and the soldiers who slipped away and marched silently under the cover of night, without sound or anyone talking, just moving forward vigorously.

The gap between the ideal and the reality is too big, and the troops who have fought are not the same as the troops that have not fought in the war, let's just say that this march, some commanders in later generations not only asked the soldiers to shout slogans, but also sang a song, saying that singing can improve the morale of the troops, and the old soldiers who have had battlefield experience will say that it is nonsense, and it is best not to say a word when marching, which can not only save body but also keep it secret, singing? That's a fool's thing, if you have the energy to keep it for war, can you sing the enemy to death?

The marching team looked a little strange, because the soldiers were in full American-style equipment, from clothes to shoes, and even the grenades hanging under their necks were also copied from the style of the American army, which was similar to the squad, if it weren't for the lack of steel helmets on their heads, his grandmother's, and thought that this was a United Nations-Army team in action.

There was a hint of pride on the faces of the soldiers, because of the wealth, there were many soldiers who carried two weapons, one was their own 38 big cover, and the other was an American M1 rifle.

A long march with two weapons on your back? Is it sick?

The soldiers will say that you are a kid who is sick, and they don't want to do this, mainly because the M1 rifle is too good, much better than the 38 type, and they are reluctant to throw it away when they use it. Because everyone knows that only 38 bullets can be supplied in China. M1 is good, but it's a life in the absence of ammo.

Thirty-eight shots are considered to be a little slower. It's better to load it manually than to have no bullets!! Looking at the captured Yankee weapons, the soldiers were very annoyed, throw away the M1 rifle, it's a pity, the Chinese soldiers who are used to living a hard life really can't get down such a ruthless hand, and then under the order of the regiment commander, they simply put it all on their backs, and they are tired a little.

Commander Wu Baoguang, who was standing with Li Yong and looking at the troops, said sullenly: "Chief, the Yankees' big eight grains are very useful. Not only is the accuracy not worse than our 38 big cover, the firepower is much stronger, a large eight-grain firepower can at least top our three or four 38 big covers, three or four rifle salvos of firepower and our squad is about the same, but unfortunately the bullet can not be universal, after the fight will become a burning stick, if we can also produce a part of the large eight ammunition would be great. ”

Of course, the M1 rifle that can fire semi-automatically is much better than the fully manual 38 big cover, but this Yankee's housekeeping weapon is also several times more expensive than the 38 rifle, and the Americans with deep pockets don't care. But the Chinese can't, after a big battle, the demand for rifle bullets alone is several times more than before, and who can afford such a consumption rate. The fragile logistics system of the Volunteer Army is even more difficult to bear.

Wu Baoguang didn't know what Li Yong was doing, but Vice Minister Li couldn't pretend to be confused. Li Yong is the deputy minister in charge of logistics, and he must take to heart the requirements of the front-line soldiers. I have to find a way to get it done.

"I'll write down your requests and react to them, but it's hard to say what effect it can achieve. Do your best. ”

Li Yong didn't give Wu Baoguang and others any guarantees, no matter how much he said, it was better to do it, and now the domestic military industry system is not able to produce ammunition for M1 rifles, and the consumption of the front line can only rely on capturing from the enemy, even if he Li Yong is very capable, he can't get M1 bullets from China.

The American-style M1 rifle was like a chicken rib throughout the Korean War, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it until the end of the war.

It is true that the Chinese army has the characteristic of capturing the enemy's weapons for its own use, but that is just the old method in the civil war, and hundreds of thousands of troops who have entered the DPRK are counting on capturing weapons from the enemy to arm themselves? This is obviously unrealistic and impossible.

After the four battles, in order to solve the difficulty of the volunteer army's weapons and equipment models are too messy, the country imported a large number of Soviet-style equipment from the Soviet Union, which solved the problem of non-universal ammunition, and the military industrial capacity in the later period was also all turned to the production of ammunition for Soviet-style weapons, and the production of American-style M1 rifle ammunition has never been put on the agenda, but the Korean People's Army is equipped with a large number of M1 rifles, this is because the scale of the People's Army is small, the ship is small and easy to turn around, and the country has no military production capacity, so it doesn't matter whether it is good or not.

Commander Wu Baoguang and the soldiers of the 346th Regiment gradually disappeared into the night, Li Yong turned around and kicked the hairy Li Yuming: "What is stupid, master the troops, and we will also set off." ：

Of course, Li Yuming, who was kicked, was unwilling: "Brigade commander, just leave?" The clothes on our more than 200 people are also soaked, and we haven't caught anything. ”

Li Yong: "Red-eyed? The 346th Regiment took away a lot of good things, but the battle was also fought by others, and you just saw their captures and casualties? The casualties of the 346th Regiment on the Imjin River are not small, and their next task will be much more difficult than ours, so don't say strange things, we will also clean up the battlefield and see if we can get something. ”

"After being sifted through the three, four, and six regiments, what else is left? That is, those wolf crying and howling captives, I want them to be useless, or, brigade commander, I will take someone to solve them all. ”

Li Yuming looked unwilling, and finally came up with a bad idea, wanting to get rid of all the prisoners on the battlefield, just like they did in China before.

Li Yong was frightened, North Korea is not as good as fighting those bandits in the northwest of the country, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the independent brigade can do whatever it wants, it can't be done here, the brother troops have something, once the news of killing the prisoners spreads, they can't eat and walk around.

"Don't talk nonsense, you kid, when did Lao Tzu dislike the captives? Lao Tzu's style is very high, he treats the captives as his own family, and if he has steamed buns, he can eat them first, and hurry up to clean up the battlefield. ”

Li Yuming pursed his lips and left reluctantly, muttering to himself in his heart, Okay, are we still killing fewer prisoners, which time was not your order, of course, it was all behind the orders of the political commissar.

"Sanniu, Xiaocheng, Ning Erzi, how many of you have your heads in the water? Or was he kicked by a donkey? Why are the troops moving so slowly? Who is responsible for letting the enemy go. Li Yuming ran out and shouted at several platoon leaders.

Sanniu and Xiao Chengning's two sons looked at each other, a little confused, what does this mean, the face of the company commander is still changing faster than the clouds in our Shigatse, and the monkey's face will change.

The platoon commander Sanniu coughed: "Cough, I will say a few, don't you understand this, our company commander was taught a lesson by the brigade commander, don't you have to take a few of us out of anger, hurry up, let's act." ”

The soldiers of the three guard platoons pounced out like hungry wolves, they couldn't wait for a long time, yes, although they were cleaned up by the 346th regiment, but it was dark and it was impossible to find it too clean, maybe they could leave us with some good things.

Most of the soldiers were lucky, looking for one bunker after another, digging three feet into the ground.

Li Yong was actually stiff and said big words, he was shivering from the cold like the soldiers, and his eyes were blue when he saw the clothes on the prisoners, but Li Yong still had a sense of the overall situation, the 346th Regiment was a front-line combat unit, and they had to come first, and there was still this awareness.

He Cuihua, who had been following him closely, had already seen it, and knew that Vice Minister Li was a dead duck with a hard mouth, but in order to maintain the glorious image of Vice Minister Li, the little girl never revealed it.

The little girl was also cold, but she was even more uncomfortable when she saw Li Yong shivering from the cold, He Cuihua saw an opportunity for no one to whisper to Li Yong: "Brother, if you really can't resist, hug me, the two of you can get better together." ”

cough cough, Li Yong's mouthful of phlegm almost didn't come up, this temperature, this environment, the clothes on the two of them are frozen like iron plates, can it be useful to hug each other, but this is He Cuihua's kindness, so naturally he can't live up to it.

"It's okay, we're going to march in a while, the troops can be warmer when they walk, let's go into the trenches dug by the Yankees."

Li Yong took He Cuihua, Li Jia and a few others into the beachhead of the United ** under the cover of night, and they also wanted to get something good.

I really saw a lot of problems in this walk, the good things were not fished, the problem was not small, the United Nations-Army prisoners of war nested in the trenches and bunkers were left and piled up, and the groups of three or five did not know how many people there were, and the 346th Regiment was in a hurry, and there was no one left to guard it at all, if it were not for the small detachment still here, it is estimated that the entire position would have become a state of herding sheep.

My mother, how many prisoners are there in this area, why don't you even have an accurate number, most of the captives are Americans and Koreans, babbling and screaming together, and I don't know if they can understand each other, Li Yong doesn't care what the prisoners are shouting, Lao Tzu doesn't worry about those messes, it is estimated that there will be follow-up troops to follow up after a while, and it doesn't matter how to solve our team.

But some of the problems are really strict, Li Yong's eyes saw that almost all the prisoners were wearing a volunteer military uniform, although the military uniform was wet and dirty, but it must be the clothing of the volunteer army, yes, the first impression at a glance was that he took someone to capture a bunch of prisoners of the volunteer army.

What is going on, Li Yong thought about it for a while and understood, the soldiers of the 346th Regiment took away all the clothes on the prisoners, and these stripped guys could only put on the clothes thrown away by the volunteer soldiers. (To be continued......)
