Chapter 780: Crossing the River

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

There is no navy, no air force, one army against three armies, there is a huge disparity in national strength, and whether the war will be fought or not, the answer is that it must be fought, otherwise there will be no way to ensure the tranquility of the border.

Andong was silent at night, the temperature had dropped to about zero, and the war not far from the other side made the local people put down their nightwork early.

The artillery fire in Sinuiju was clearly visible, and standing on the hills around Andong with a good line of sight during the day, you could clearly see the American planes laying eggs in strings in the North Korean sky.

The atmosphere of war in the city was very strong, and every household was engaged in air defense exercises under the arrangement of the government, at this time, the largest city on the Chinese border seemed to stop breathing (Anton is not big, but it is the largest border city in China)

A city in Nuoda is shut down? Is that really the case? Of course not.

Suddenly, as if out of the ground, a group of men and horses drove over, guns, ammunition, and backpacks on their bodies were faintly visible, and gradually more and more people appeared, from two columns to four columns, and from four columns to six columns, and then to six columns.

The brigade kept moving forward, beside them one after another cars towing artillery or loaded ammunition, and the arrows of the column pointed to the Yalu River Bridge, which stretched out its arms in the darkness.

It was a large marching procession, with no badges, no cockades, no visible signs, not even writing, all signs that they were on a secret mission.

It can be seen from the strict marching columns. It was a battle-tested, well-trained force, and none of the fighters made a loud noise. When you have a problem, you just whisper to the people around you.

As the team moved forward, a soldier was whispering to the people around him: "Squad leader, why did you let us fry the handwriting on the towel, it's my latest towel, I haven't used it yet, it's a pity." ”

The old soldier who was asked replied: "Damn, how could Lao Tzu know about the decision of the superiors, but." In my estimation, it's very likely that you're afraid that your kid will be caught by the Americans and expose our military secrets, haha. ”

The old soldier laughed. The soldier who questioned him was angry enough and turned around to ignore his squad leader.

As the troops kept moving forward, a jeep passed the crowd and stopped not far from the bridge.

It was a very ordinary and inconspicuous jeep, and like the one often used in the army, it was also an American product captured from the Kuomintang army on the battlefield. But the color is good. At least eighty percent of them are new.

There were only four people in the car, a driver, two guard-looking soldiers and an elderly soldier, who was about fifty years old, and he did not wear the army's new uniform similar to that of the Korean People's Army, but still wore an old-fashioned military uniform of the domestic army, but without a collar badge and cockade.

The military uniform was washed a little white, probably because it had been too long. Both cuffs of the military uniform were frayed, revealing short threads.

The sound of the car's brakes alarmed two fighters standing guard at the bridgehead. A soldier shouted in a very majestic voice: "Password." ”

The soldier who looked like a guard in the car replied, and then saw the elderly soldier also get out of the car and walk up to the two sentries.

With the help of the cold moonlight, the two sentinels looked at the few people who walked by.

Those who can stand guard on the edge of the Yalu River Bridge at a critical time are all combat backbones selected from the troops, and they are not only experienced in combat, but also have vicious eyes.

The few people who came over now are very unusual, don't look at the obvious military rank signs, but the temperament is obviously different from ordinary soldiers, especially the elderly soldier who came over first, from the military uniform that he did not have an armed belt, no gun and four pockets, it can be judged that this must be a long, or a long of a high level.

The elderly soldier walked over and asked in a thick Hunan dialect: "Little ghost, which unit are you from?" What year did you become a soldier? ”

The little soldier straightened his chest and replied: "Report chief, we are the 118th Division of the 40th Army, and we were ordered to carry out the guard mission at the Yalu River Bridge. ”

The old soldier smiled and chatted with the little soldier: "The soldiers of the 118th Division, isn't it simple, the main division of the 40th Army that can fight the most war, and it is also very famous in the entire Siye." ”

The little soldier was very surprised and asked, "Does the chief also know that we are the 118th Division?" ”

"Hahahaha", the old soldier laughed and replied: "Of course I know, don't you have a sentence in the 40th Army, called, "118 dozens, 119 looks, 120 circles around the regiment." ”

This is a very popular phrase in the 40th Army (three main divisions, 118, 119, 120), which roughly means that every time the commander of the battle uses the 118th Division as the main force to attack, the 119th Division as the reserve, and the 120th Division is looking for opportunities around the battlefield to see Lengzi stab the enemy from behind.

Needless to say, the one who can know about this must be his own people, and the old soldier was very interested and asked the soldier who was standing with the little soldier and was obviously a few years older: "You should be a veteran, what year did you become a soldier?" ”

The old soldier put his heels together and replied straightly: "Report chief, I have been a soldier for 40 years, and I have been in the military for ten years. ”

Good guy, I didn't expect to meet a 40-year-old veteran on the edge of the Yalu River Bridge, such a veteran is a treasure-level figure in every unit.

The elderly soldier asked with interest: "The soldiers of 40 years are even more difficult, have they fought the Japanese?" ”

The old soldier replied loudly: "Hit." ”

The elderly soldier then asked: "Then you must have fought the Kuomintang as well?" ”

The veteran replied in an affirmative tone: "Hit." ”

The old soldier chased after him again: "This time we will go to North Korea to fight the Yankees, are you afraid?" ”

The old soldier grinned and slapped the rifle in his hand hard: "Report chief, it doesn't matter if he is an American or a little Japanese, let's beat him up." ”

"Hahahaha", hearty laughter echoed on both sides of the Yalu River Bridge, and the old soldier patted the soldier on the shoulder and said in a thick Hunan accent: "Anyway, it doesn't matter if he's a Yankee or a little Japan, we'll beat him up." ”

The old soldier was very happy, from the two ordinary soldiers, he could learn about the morale of a unit, the 40th Army is very good, there is a force with my invincible and indomitable spirit.

Under the gaze of the two sentries, the old soldier boarded the jeep with a few soldiers, and the car followed the large army to the Yalu River Iron Bridge, and disappeared into the flow of people in a few breaths.

The old soldier is gone, leaving a place of doubt.

It's true that it's your own people, but it's not clear which unit is the commander, and the senior commanders in the unit are all in the front line to control the troops, and it's impossible to sneak out alone, who is it?

The two sentinels agreed that it could not be the commander of the 38th and 39th armies and the 42nd army, and that his own 40th army did not have such a big length, and even less in the 118th Division, because the commanders in this division were all acquaintances.

The two very experienced sentinels finally came to the conclusion that it was very likely that he was the new commander of his 40th Army, and the other could be the chief of the Zhi Division.

The soldiers guessed correctly, this old soldier is indeed the chief of the volunteer army headquarters, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army -- Mr. Peng.

The war situation was as urgent as a spark, and after the fall of Pyongyang, the arrogance of the United States was even more arrogant, and MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the US Far East Theater, even issued an order to make more efforts to solve the Korean problem and then let the children go home for Christmas.

After his bullshit Christmas, most of the volunteers have entered the court, and they still want to go home for the holidays! I really don't know how the intelligence work of the Americans is done, and whether the famous Mai Shuai got into the water or was squeezed by the door.

The Yalu River, which is more than 1,000 meters wide, has a large current, and when you look at it by the starlight and moonlight, the calm river surface is beautiful and unusually beautiful like a thick ribbon that shines brightly.

The Yalu River is the boundary river between China and North Korea, and it is also the mother river, the abundant water conservancy and fishery resources have raised countless sons and daughters on both sides of the river, a white line divides the big iron bridge into two, the sentinels of the two countries stand on both sides of the white line, the sentry on the North Korean side wears a Soviet-style military uniform, and an officer looks like an officer and wears a pair of riding boots, which seems to be more energetic than the sentry of the volunteer army.

Mr. Peng was not in the mood to look at the scenery, he wanted to find a contact person on the North Korean side as much as possible to understand how bad the war situation in North Korea was.

After driving off the big iron bridge, he officially entered the territory of North Korea, which was also the first time that the soldiers of New China went abroad to fight, whether it was a commander or a soldier.

I don't know if it's because of people's mood or other reasons, I feel very depressed when I get off the Yalu River Bridge, and the two guards and soldiers in the same car with Mr. Peng no longer quarrel and joke with each other, but scan the surroundings with vigilant eyes, and the safety of the submachine gun in their hands is also opened.

Across the river is North Korea's Sinuiju, at this time Xinuiju no longer has the former prosperity, even the air seems to reveal a smell of anxiety, at a pre-agreed place, Mr. Peng met the North Korean envoy, a vice minister of the government waiting in the anxious cold wind.

The deputy minister held Mr. Peng's heavy hands tightly and was reluctant to let go for a long time, and asked in fluent Chinese with expectation: "Comrade commander, has the squadron made a decision to send troops?" ”

Mr. Peng told him with a calm smile: "The dispatch of troops is certain, and the date is this evening, and the four armies approved for the DPRK are crossing the river at multiple points at the same time. ”

On 19 October 1950, the Chinese People's Volunteers finally officially set foot on the territory of the DPRK, and what awaited them was a three-year struggle of blood and fire.

Note: In history, Mr. Peng entered the dynasty in a Soviet-style jeep, or that sentence, this book is a novel, not history, only for everyone to enjoy after tea and dinner, in addition, Lao Ba thanked the old guys for their votes. (To be continued......)
