Chapter 993: The Red Sun Rises

After receiving the order from his superiors, Zhou Qingfeng threw the fast column to the command of the 'old machine gun', and he drove a jeep to personally return to Gutuli with more than 300 trucks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The mountain road of several tens of kilometers is only two or three hours, and a large number of volunteer soldiers are responsible for directing the dredging of the road. It is said that the results of the Hungnam Offensive completely alarmed the Ninth Corps, and the 58th and 59th Divisions, which had originally surrounded Xiajieyuli, each sent a regiment to support it.

When the car arrived at Gutuli, Zhou Qingfeng found that this place had just been bombed, and it should have been a U.S. B-26 from Yuanshan Airport, 100 kilometers away, and the incendiary bombs dropped reimbursed a large warehouse.

"Don't worry, we've emptied those warehouses, and they're just pretending to be there." The one who came to pick up Zhou Qingfeng was a political commissar of the 59th Division, and when they met, they shook hands tightly and said, "Young man, you have made great contributions." On behalf of the soldiers of the whole division, I thank you! ”

Zhou Qingfeng was not familiar with the people of the 59th Division, so he could only answer a few words. But the battle-hardened veteran on the other side was choked with both hands, "If it weren't for the heavy artillery you brought, we really wouldn't have any way to deal with the enemy in the encirclement." ”

According to the battle report, the 1st Marine Division in Xiajiayuli built an airfield to continuously transport the wounded from the air and obtain supplies of weapons and ammunition, and the firepower advantage was overwhelming. It was useless to have several divisions of the besieging Volunteer Army, which were numerous, and they could not attack it, but suffered heavy casualties.

And as soon as the howitzers and heavy mortars seized from the ancient soil were in place, the Americans immediately tasted what it was like to be shelled. The most important thing is to paralyze its airfield and cut off its access to supplies. Without a steady stream of ammunition, the besieged American troops immediately shrank their positions and became much more well-behaved.

While talking to the political commissar of the division, Zhou Qingfeng also saw a large group of soldiers busy repairing the buildings in the ancient soil. But judging by the degree of its shoddy construction, it is clear that it is a false target to attract the enemy to bomb. His jeep continued to drive forward, and soon came to a hidden staging area.

"We're going to have a battalion now, we're going to have a battalion. All the people who came were beggars, and those who left were all local tyrants. The political commissar of the division introduced with a smile, "I heard that you brought more than 300 truckloads of equipment, what are they?" ”

"It's mainly the field coats, military pants, shoes, hats, gloves and the like of the US army, as well as the food, drink and supplies of the US army. I think these things should be the most scarce. Zhou Qingfeng said.

"Scarce, indeed scarce." The political commissar of the division couldn't wait to see the loading and unloading of vehicles. As soon as the unloaded box was opened, someone came to pick it up, and the bitter warriors finally had a smile. And the convoy does not stop, unloading one by one, and continuing to go to Xingnan Port to rush transportation.

"The American's clothes are really good, warm and light. I like their gloves the most, they solve big problems. The political commissar of the division raised his hand and showed Zhou Qingfeng the sheepskin gloves he was wearing, "Without gloves, holding a rifle in your hand will stick to it and freeze off a layer of skin." ”

Freeze off a layer of skin? It's more than a layer of skin! If you can't shoot, you'll be frozen for your life. Imagine what kind of scene it would be for the fighters to attack the enemy without even firing a gun?

The car continued to drive and passed another medical clinic. Dozens of captured U.S. military medics and a large number of volunteer medics were busy, and the place was full of blood and screams. From time to time, you can still hear someone shouting, "Is there any more morphine?" How many morphines are left in stock? ”

There was a basket at the entrance of the medical center, in which the arms or thighs had been amputated, blood was frozen on the basket, and ice crystals were hung. Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be paying attention to the wounded in the infirmary, the political commissar of the division said with deep sorrow but relief: "This is already the best situation. ”

"How many people need amputations?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.

"Many, many, many." The political commissar of the division could not say the exact number, but he said with certainty: "If it weren't for this American medical company you captured, our soldiers wouldn't even be able to amputate their limbs." And without the winter clothes you snatched, there would have been more fighters who would have had to have their limbs amputated. ”

"I heard that a company was frozen to death because it was ambushed in the snow?" Zhou Qingfeng asked again.

These words were sad, but the political commissar of the division still nodded, "Yes, some companies froze to death from frostbite because they held on and did not retreat, and some companies froze to death because of ambushes." There were also a large number of fighters who suffered non-combat attrition in the process of marching, camping, and fighting. We've really lost a lot. ”

"Since the losses are so great, has the Corps ever thought that this battle should not be fought?" This is a question that has been in Zhou Qingfeng's mind for a long time. It was painful to think of the large number of loyal and fearless warriors who had died in vain because of a series of bad decisions.

Even ......, Zhou Qingfeng was a little resentful of Taizu. The Ninth Corps' hasty entry into the dynasty had a lot to do with Taizu's desire for the Volunteer Army to take out the 1st Marine Division. If you can slow down, you can slow down for a few days or even a few hours on the way to the battlefield!

The jeep continued to advance, and the division political commissar took Zhou Qingfeng out of Gutuli, and their destination was to bypass the battlefield and go to the headquarters of the Ninth Corps. And the reason why Zhou Qingfeng didn't leave the dungeon immediately was actually because he wanted to see Xiajieyuli and Liutanli, these two places are the main battlefield of Changjin Lake.

Regarding Zhou Qingfeng's question, the division political commissar did not answer immediately. He also seemed to be confused, unwilling, annoyed, and thoughtful. Finally, when the day was about to dawn, the two arrived at Xiajieyu, and Zhou Qingfeng strongly asked to get out of the car to see the battlefield and see the place he had put all his efforts into trying to save.

The battle continued all night, and both sides fought quite every hill, on every position, in every foxhole. The troops who had been recuperated from Gutuli returned by car and immediately attacked with high morale. On the other hand, the US military is consciously retreating step by step.

Shelling, shooting, bombing, hand-to-hand combat, the most sane madness of human beings is unfolding on the battlefield, all wanting to kill each other. Zhou Qingfeng climbed up a captured hill and held up his binoculars to look into the valley in Xiajieyuli, where there were still patches of American troops resisting the attack of the volunteers.

On the flesh and blood battlefield of this fight, solemnity and mania, indifference and blood, honor and tragedy are intertwined. At this time, the sky suddenly lit up with a faint light, and a red sun was slowly rising. And behind the red sun, several enemy planes roared towards them.

And on this battlefield of blood and fire, the political commissar, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "We have indeed made many mistakes in this battle, mistakes that are extremely regrettable when you think about it in hindsight. In order to undo these mistakes, we had to make great sacrifices.

Wrong is wrong, and we don't make too many excuses. But what if you just stare at these mistakes? How is it possible for a person not to make mistakes? How is it possible for a battle not to make mistakes? How is it possible for a country not to make mistakes? Can you find an existence that never makes mistakes?

Who knows if mistakes are the only way to success until things come to an end result? If you don't fight the United States head-on, how can you know how powerful the U.S. military is? It's also good to make mistakes early, and it's easier to correct.

The key is whether you learn from your mistakes and make the sacrifice worthwhile. At least we didn't cry and regret when we made a mistake. We still have to fight the Americans, and we still have to continue to strengthen ourselves. Whether it is ten years, twenty years, fifty years, or one hundred years, we still have to move towards prosperity step by step! ”

With Zhou Qingfeng's thoughts in later generations, he would definitely be unwilling to make senseless sacrifices. If he were to die, he would have shaked his head. But these ancestors in front of them came out of the old world with deep disasters, and they really looked down on life and death, just for the future of the country.

Slandering, slandering, ridiculing, and ridiculing, think about the fact that China will still experience too many mistakes and tribulations in the next 60 years or so, and the right path to return to the top of the world is full of thorns. And are all the mistakes that have occurred in the past 60 years worthless?

Can a person never make a mistake in his formative years? Isn't there any value in mistakes? Failure is the mother of success, and it is better to move forward than to regret it!

With the rising daylight in the sky, looking at the long-flowing river in the mountains, Zhou Qingfeng, who was depressed, suddenly smiled. A passage came out of his heart - the red sun is rising, and its way is bright; The river flows out of the subterranean flow, and the ocean is poured out; The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws fly .......

"There's no point in just complaining about past inadequacies and mistakes, and that's not going to show how wise you are. In fact, I should be glad that I can not only see the immaturity of the motherland's first baby's cry, but also experience its majesty in the world. I'm just a small person, instead of regretting and complaining so much, it's better to be yourself. ”

After all, this Chinese ...... has a future like the sea, and the future is long, so it is worth walking with us.
