As if God was deliberately testing the patience of the squadron, the winter of '50 was exceptionally cold, and according to meteorologists, the Korean Peninsula suffered the coldest winter in 50 years.

Isn't this embarrassing for the Chinese, because the logistics support system of the volunteer army is very different from that of the US army, so the external environmental temperature has a greater impact on the squadron.

A gas lamp was lit, and the snow-white light made the dimly lit cavern much brighter.

The gas lamp is a good thing, not only the light is stronger than the candle but also not as black smoke as the kerosene lamp, when you need to fill the lamp with some water, it is really light and trouble-free, just such a gadget is specially transported from the rear.

The security personnel are also in a good mood, in the past, when looking at the map for a long time, they often used one hand to hold a lit candle, and the other hand held a magnifying glass, because they were too attentive, they were often burned by the wax oil dripping from the candle, but now it is good, the light of the Gars lamp illuminates the map very clearly.

The cave was wet and flickering, and the tiny droplets of water slowly condensed on the walls and the roof of the cave, growing larger and larger until the stickiness of the cave walls could no longer absorb them.

The cave is very safe, and the plane of the United ** can't fly in no matter how rampant it is, but this living environment is really bad, especially for those who are old and in poor health, it is easy to fall into rheumatism and other diseases.

This is the general headquarters of the Volunteer Army, which is only a few dozen kilometers away from the most forward positions, and completely within the combat radius of the enemy's fighter-bombers.

The commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army lived in such a terrible environment. And his opponent, MacArthur, a five-star general of the United **, was thousands of kilometers away in a beautiful villa in Tokyo, smoking his famous corncob pipe while listening to his subordinates' reports on the Korean war.

"Xiao Wang. Bring me a few chili peppers, people get sick as soon as they get old, this damn mine. Mr. Peng shouted and slapped his slightly sore waist with his hand a few times.

The guard Xiao Wang is a very young soldier, only nineteen years old this year, who once fought in the combat unit, and was transferred by his superiors to Mr. Peng as a guard because he was good in all aspects.

Peng Lao is always a native of Hunan, and chili peppers are a must in life. In order to resist the humid environment, he was going to eat a few chili peppers to relieve himself, but the guard Xiao Wang refused to come.

Seeing that Xiao Wang refused to come. Mr. Peng had to do it himself, but after looking for a big circle, he didn't see a single chili pepper, and Mr. Peng was really a little hot. shouted in a loud voice: "Xiao Wang." Roll me over here, you, and find me the peppers. ”

Xiao Wang rolled over, but there was nothing in his hand, and he replied with words in his mouth: "Chief, the doctor said that you have stomach problems, and you can't eat chili peppers." ”

Mr. Peng's anger was even bigger, and he pointed at Xiao Wang's nose and shouted, "You little thing." What kind of bullshit logic, listen to the doctor and let people live? Fucking America's planes come to us every day to lay eggs. What do you eat without chili peppers when you squat in this wet mine all day long? Hurry up and find it, I can't find me to lock you up. ”

Xiao Wang's temper is also very stubborn, and he is still muttering: "Confinement is confinement, the headquarters security department and the health team have asked me to look at the chief, and the chili pepper can't give you anything." ”

Just when Mr. Peng and the guard Xiao Wang were competing to eat chili peppers, a confidential officer walked in quickly: "Chief, the first corps calls back." ”

As if he had forgotten about the chili pepper, Mr. Peng hurriedly took the telegram and read it, and the content of the reply from the First Corps was also very simple: "The independent brigade originally belonging to the Second Army has been assigned to the Eighteenth Army of the Second Army, and is now stationed in Shigatse, Tibet. ”

"Damn, when did the Independent Brigade be assigned to the Eighteenth Army." Mr. Peng muttered to himself, he really didn't know that the Independent Brigade and the Eighteenth Army of Erye had arrived in Tibet together.

"Send a telegram to the Eighteenth Army of the Second Field, the message is as follows.............................."

A telegram was sent from the headquarters of the Korean Volunteers, targeting the Independent Brigade stationed in Shigatse.

Tibet, Shigatse

An independent brigade of a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is engaged in construction on a large scale, and it is a scene in full swing.

It seems that the higher authorities will not be able to mobilize the independent brigade in a short period of time, and since they want to be stationed here for a long time, they must improve their production and living conditions, and it is not possible to rely on the higher authorities to improve the conditions.

A few days ago, I just got a mechanical repair shop back from Lhasa, which made the brigade commander Li Yong and others feel very good, even the political commissar Wang Chengde couldn't close his mouth with a smile, don't look at this guy all day long, in fact, his love for weapons and equipment is no worse than others, Wang Chengde, who was born in the old Eighth Road, knows the importance of weapons and equipment to a unit.

The machinery factory has been brought back, the construction of barracks has begun to take shape, the local public order situation is good, and the biggest food problem that has plagued the troops has also been alleviated.

The most important task of the Independent Brigade at present is to open up the highway from Xigaze to Lhasa, which is more than 300 kilometers apart, and if there is no road, the Independent Brigade stationed in Xigaze will really become an isolated island.

It is too difficult to build roads, although the mechanization of the independent brigade is very high, but it is also very laborious, and if you want to improve the degree, you have to increase the wear and tear of the equipment, and the wear and tear of the equipment is too distressing for the cadres and soldiers of the independent brigade, because they have snatched this bit by bit from the enemy, and every piece of equipment is very valuable.

Fortunately, there is a repair shop in the army, and simple repairs and repairs can be dealt with, but there is no way to wear out large accessories, and the brigade commander Li Yong has no recruitment, because the repair shop can only repair, and spare parts will not be produced, however, Brigade Commander Li has his own set of ideas, he told the soldiers, don't be too careful, don't be afraid to break the altar and jar, we now have the whole country as a backer, and it is not a big deal to lose a little equipment, as long as the road can be opened, there will be something lacking in the future.

The headquarters of the Independent Brigade is still very popular as usual, and people like to come here to join in the fun after dinner in the evening, discussing all kinds of things they have seen and knowing, anyway, it is peacetime, there is no combat mission, and the stations of the various battalions and companies are not too far away, so Li Yong doesn't care about them, and they can toss as much as they like, whatever.

The hottest topics are undoubtedly about the Korean war, the troops, of course, are mainly about fighting, and the study is also about this issue, don't look at the fact that it is now peacetime, everyone is most concerned about war.

The two major victories of the troops entering the DPRK made the headquarters of this brigade-level command in the distant sky steaming, and the mood of the people seemed to melt the ice peaks of the Karakoram Mountains.

"Good news, good news, the latest latest good news, do you want to hear it?" It was reconnaissance battalion commander Zhang Jinsong who spoke.

Everyone was very unimpressed with Zhang Jinsong, who sold Guanzi, and Li Jiangguo, the commander of the first battalion, retorted unceremoniously: "You kid is not a military commander and division commander, but he is a small battalion commander like us, what is the latest good news, go, go cool." ”

Zhang Jinsong was very unconvinced: "What's wrong with the little battalion commander?" You think I'm just like you? Sue you, our old Zhang is a scout, can a scout know not much! Do you want to hear it? If you want to, give us a camel cigarette. ”

Seeing that Zhang Jinsong was ruthless there, it aroused everyone's curiosity a little, maybe this guy really knew something, He Cuihua, the instructor of the baggage battalion, snatched a cigarette from the deputy battalion commander Yang, and lit it to Zhang Jinsong very meekly: "Do you know something?" Go ahead. ”

Everyone knows He Cuihua's temper, and it is rare that there is such a gentle time, Lao Zhang was a little flattered, took a puff of beauty, spit out a few smoke rings, and muttered in his mouth: "Damn, the cigarettes lit by the beauties taste different." ”

A room full of people are on fire, if you don't say it, if you don't say it, you will do it, Zhang Jinsong understands that there must be a limit to selling Guanzi, and if you don't say it, it is likely that it will really be cleaned up:

"When our battalion went out today, we met the reconnaissance company of the military headquarters, and they were also moving around, and when their company commander was accepting the mission, he heard a news, which is said to be very accurate, what commander of the United States was killed by us in Korea, and his number was the commander of the Eighth Army of the United States, and I can't remember what the name was, but it seems to be what it was."

This is indeed very shocking news, the US Eighth Army is the main force of the United States on the Korean battlefield, and the death of the commander is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the Chinese people.

"Zhang Jinsong, is what you kid said true or false, there are more than 200,000 people in the US Eighth Army, how could the commander die lightly?" It was Ma Changsheng, the commander of the third battalion who had a fiery temper, who spoke.

"It was the company commander of the reconnaissance company of the military headquarters who said it, they are superior units, and they must know more news than us, believe it or not, I will tell you anyway."

There was chaos in the headquarters of the Independent Brigade again, and Zhang Jinsong's news was indeed very happy, but I don't know if it was true, and there were big doubts.

Who to contact if you have any questions? Looking for the brigade commander, the people of the independent brigade are used to this practice, and it is still the case, and people once again looked at the brigade commander Li Yong, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Lee Yong's recent appearance has been different from usual, and he does not seem to have any interest in the Korean war, which people are so enthusiastic about, and he does not discuss it with everyone.
