Chapter 868: The Rights of Captives

Li Yong, who came from afar, saw this qiē in his eyes, Li Yong didn't bother to explain anything to this group of prisoners, just walked over and said in English: "Who is your commander, the commander stands up." ”

Seeing that someone could speak English, the captives looked at each other in surprise, and after a while, one of the captives stood up, a young man in his twenties, a long white and clean British young man, with a clean beard visible from his iron chin, and his rank showed that he was a captain officer.

The prisoner who came over looked at Li Yong and the rank of colonel on Li Yong's shoulders with confused eyes, and he didn't know whether the rank of the Chinese-national-Chinese wearing the uniform of the United Nations Army was true or false, so he could only say in a reluctant tone:

"Report sir, I am Captain Charles of the British Royal Army, our battalion commander has been killed, I am the supreme commander here, I hope you can abide by the provisions of Article 4 of the Geneva Conventions on prisoners of war and ensure our personal safety."

It's not easy to shout at Li Yong, the captives always think that it was the Koreans who sneaked up on them, and in front of the British and the Americans, the so-called Republic of Korea - the army and the various branches of the military in Asian countries have no difference in rank and garbage, to put it bluntly, it's like bullshit.

Charles? Oh, this name sounds too familiar, Li Yong remembers that there is a prince in Britain who seems to be called this name, it can't be that he caught a big man, right?

Li Yong thought about it carefully and smiled, it is now 1950 AD, no, it is already 1951 after midnight, and the current Queen of England seems to have just met Prince Philip, the cheap father of Prince Charles, the heir to the Greek throne, that is. The big man in Charles and Li Yong's memory here can't be the same person.

His grandmother's, white happy. Li Yong muttered in his heart.

"Listen, Captain Charles. I'm not interested in your name, I'm not interested in any conventions, I want to say that I need your people and us to carry ammunition and supplies together, and as long as you cooperate well with the volunteers, your life is guaranteed. ”

"Report sir, we are British, we are the Royal Army, please abide by the Geneva Conventions. Prisoners of war also have their own rights, and we now need food and water, warm rooms, and effective medical medicines, not to carry ammunition. ”

Damn, the captives also have to talk about rights, and they also have opinions on carrying materials, this Englishman is really funny, he won't think that he is still on the hot kang in his British hometown!! Damn it. Pretending to be forced is not the way to go.

Fortunately, there is only one Li Yong in the squad who can understand English, otherwise the soldiers would have beaten this kid all over the ground with these words.

"Listen, I'll repeat it again, just repeat it. Take your people to carry the supplies immediately, as long as the table is good, you can live. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences, and I will remind you. This is the battlefield, not Liberty Square under Big Ben in London. A single qiē can happen, and it's not a big deal to die dozens of people, you know? ”

Charles spread his hands and replied in a helpless tone: "Understood, sir, I will immediately take my people to carry the supplies, and I hope you can keep your promise." ”

More than 200 soldiers, more than 100 prisoners, and more than 20 trucks began to rush supplies frantically in the hours before dawn, and the dawn in Far East Korea was very early, so it was necessary to hide the captured materials before dawn.

Loading, loading, and loading, all the people were working hard, including the captured British, and to be honest, the UN-Army prisoners were still not bad, and as long as they were confirmed to have a chance to live, these guys were still working hard.

More than 20 trucks kept going back and forth, piling up truckloads of ammunition and supplies in the big tunnel found by Ning Erzi and others, and seeing the snow-white car lights illuminating the road along the way, Li Yuming, Li Jia and other veteran soldiers in the brigade couldn't help but admire their brigade commander again.

At that time, the car was a very rare object, and there were even fewer people in the PLA troops in the remote northwest who knew about cars, so that they had to burn the car after it was seized, but this qiē was greatly improved after the establishment of the independent brigade of the second column of the People's Liberation Army, and Li Yong, as the commander of the first brigade, always advocated that the soldiers should take driving and repairing cars as a basic skill, and everyone should learn it as long as the conditions permit.

During the three-year war of liberation, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) seized a large number of enemy automobiles and trained many car drivers; taking the Independent Brigade as an example, more than two-thirds of the soldiers could drive cars, and there was no detachment of more than 200 people who came to North Korea.

Almost all the cars in the Kuomintang army were supported by the United States, and of course all the American trucks captured by the independent brigade were also American-style trucks.

The soldiers, who are accustomed to living a hard life, take the captured materials and ammunition very seriously, and they know that every truckload of supplies shipped now has the potential to save the lives of many comrades.

Li Yong, who is the deputy director of logistics of the Chinese People's Volunteers, thinks even more; in the Battle of Changjin Lake, the casualties of the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army reached an astonishing 40 percent, and many old troops were wounded and bone-broken, the vast majority of them were frostbitten, and three companies were all frozen to death by the formation.

Matthew Ridgway, commander of the Eighth Army of the US Army, was a professional soldier with an extremely keen sense of smell on the battlefield, and it was this World War II veteran who discovered the logistical shortcomings of the volunteers on the Korean battlefield and invented the famous "magnetic tactic." ”

Magnetic tactics, damn magnetic tactics, did make the volunteers suffer a lot, even if the command organ of the volunteers understood the combat intentions of the US military in the later period, there was no way to break this strange circle, because the difference in the national strength of China and the United States in reality is too great, for example, the US army is all mechanized marching, the speed of attack and escape is very fast, and our army is all marching on foot, and the attack distance of a day and night is dissolved by the opponent's march of an hour or two.

What to do? If you want to achieve the same motorization as the U.S. military, you need to have a large number of cars, but cars are really a luxury for China-the army, and more than half of the 1,000 cars bought from the Soviet Union at a great cost in the early days of the DPRK were blown up by the U.S. military's air power in a few months, which raises another problem, if you want your troops to be able to mechanize the march, you also need to have strong air power to protect it, but does our country have it? Apparently not.

"Magnetic tactics" are almost a conspiracy, relying on a strong comprehensive national strength, and it is too difficult and too difficult to break the enemy's tactics when there is a huge difference in national strength.

I don't want to think about it, I have a headache when I think about it, Li Yong called Charles over to ask about the situation, there is a question Li Yong has never figured out, why the British tank soldiers are so can't help fighting, you know, the British soldiers who participated in World War II still have combat effectiveness, and the situation of jumping out of the car and escaping when they see a tank destroyed seems to not appear to them.

"Charles, I need you to help me find a tank soldier to understand the situation, it is the soldier in those Yankee tanks."

"Bill, come over here, the commander of the Volunteer Army wants to ask you for questions."

With Charles' shout, a British soldier put down the ammunition box in his hand and walked over with a question on his face.

Charles introduced to Li Yong, this is the guy who ran out of the tank, and he is the only one here who is a tank soldier, you go and ask him.

Bill walked up to Li Yong and stood up and saluted: "Royal Army Sergeant Bill, military number, 230-4467, accept your orders." ”

"Sergeant Bill, I want to ask you a question, have you ever been in battle? I haven't been on the battlefield, so I'm not a professional tank soldier. ”

Li Yong's easy-going tone made Bill very relaxed, and after knowing that his life was not in danger, these British soldiers were very talkative: "Report sir, of course I am a professional tank soldier, and I have also participated in battles, I have participated in almost all the battles commanded by Field Marshal Montgomery, and by the way, I have also won the Order of Good Service." ”

Bill spoke of the medal with a smug look in his eyes, as if he had forgotten that he was now just a prisoner, or a prisoner of the Chinese-Chinese armed peasants.

Li Yong: "Hehe, how can a soldier who has won the medal of good service be so frightened by an anti-tank shell that he jumped out of the car and ran for his life?" This was so surprising. ”

Bill didn't care about Li Yong's ridicule: "Report sir, it's not that I don't want to fight, I'm more heroic than you in the battle against the Germans, it's just ......................" ”

Speaking of this, Bill paused for a moment, and then continued: "You can't blame me, you can only blame the Yankees, I have never seen this tank, and I don't have a detailed operation manual, I threw the tank away when I left, we were familiar with the performance of the tank when you came, and I didn't need to introduce it later, sir, you don't like to hear it, your volunteer army has better luck, if you let me get familiar with it for a day or two, it is not certain whether your anti-tank guns can knock us out, by the way, You only have one anti-armor recoilless gun, right? ”

Bill, this kid didn't talk nonsense, he observed very carefully, and even noticed that the volunteer army only had a recoilless gun that could be counter-armored, and he was a veteran, from this point of view, Li Yong and the team's luck was really good.

Li Yong: "Bill, what is your specific occupation in the tank?" ”

"Report sir, I am familiar with all the combat positions of tanks, only not with the new tanks of the Yankees.
