Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 32 Gunshots in the Valley
The night is like water.

As the morning approached, the snow outside the cave became heavier and heavier, and the temperature quickly dropped to more than minus 20 degrees. It was impossible for Qianli and the others to let Jin Xuhua go back alone.I had no choice but to open up a place for her next to the cave, and send her down the mountain after dawn.

After Xu Qing and Zhang Xiaoshan were on duty in the first half of the night, they changed shifts in the second half of the night. After a day of adaptation yesterday, he can barely sleep now.

In the cave, almost a row of people slept together, crowded into a quilt to keep warm. The thin quilt could hardly resist the cold wind blowing outside the cave, and he fell asleep half-cold and half-awake.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but for a moment, he was suddenly awakened by a movement, and felt someone patting his face. When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw Lei Gong and Ping He standing in front of him.

He was just about to speak up.

"Hush! Get up, there is a situation." Lei Gong put his finger on his mouth and said.

"What's the matter?" Xu Qing immediately sat up and put on his shoes. The weather was very cold, and the shoes were padded, but they were still terribly cold, and he didn't take off his clothes at all.

"I found a light under the mountain." Ping He said softly.

There are lights?Xu Qing quickly realized that everyone in the village below was fleeing to death, how could there be light.

This is... Encountering an enemy?

Startled, he immediately put on his shoes faster and got out of the quilt in a hurry. Only then did he realize that most of the other soldiers in the platoon around him had already woken up and were quietly arranging their equipment. The gun is loaded.

There is no need for him to guess wildly. Soon, Qianli had already summoned everyone, and said in a low voice: "There is an abnormal situation at the foot of the mountain. Just now, when the people in the second row were on duty at night, they noticed lights appearing from the ruins of the village at the foot of the mountain. It didn't take long. , but it is still worthy of our vigilance. I have asked Yu Congrong to take two scouts to see it, and everyone should arrange their weapons and equipment first. If there is an enemy situation, then tonight... I am afraid it will be difficult!"

All the soldiers nodded.

Qilian Duo is a veteran who has survived several years of fighting, and his performance is very calm.

Jin Xuhua, a North Korean girl who was sleeping in a corner of the cave, also woke up. Seeing that everyone was checking guns and ammunition, and sorting out equipment, she didn't know what happened, and she was a little panicked.

Xu Qing saw it, and whispered: "There may be enemies at the foot of the mountain. The situation is more urgent now. Don't move around later. Just stay in this cave, you know?"

"Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked instead of fear.

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "It's best not to, if it's an enemy, we might have to fight, and we can't take care of you."

The little girl stopped talking, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xu Qing ignored her for the time being, because he had already seen Yu Congrong walking in from the cave covered in snowflakes.

"Company Commander." Yu Congrong's face was full of solemnity, he didn't seem to jump away like usual, and he was shocked by saying: "We found the enemy in the front!"

Everyone's expressions changed immediately. Qianli had expected it a long time ago, stretched out his hand to press down, and then said: "Be clear, what is the specific situation?"

Xu Qing was also shocked, he really ran into an enemy!

Yu Congrong nodded, and continued without a pause: "There are two open-top military jeeps parked in the village. The lights should be from the cars. There are soldiers, but I haven't found the exact number yet. My second squad leader is still leading people below. Watching."

Qianli nodded, and then turned around: "Everyone heard, we may have encountered the first wave of enemy troops since entering the DPRK. We don't know the number and origin, but no matter what the situation is, we must make all combat preparations! Yu Congrong, you go to investigate again, while the others organize their equipment and prepare to fight at any time."

Qilian said in unison: "Yes!"

Twenty minutes later, Yu Congrong went up the mountain again and brought back the news: a U.S. reconnaissance platoon, about three squads of people, a total of 32 U.S. soldiers, plus 25 Rhee soldiers.

Confirmation is correct, it is the enemy!

Yu Congrong lay in the snow for more than half an hour, going back and forth up and down the mountain. His whole body was frozen, and everyone quickly wrapped quilts around him to keep warm.

"What about firepower?" Qianli immediately drew a simple deployment map on the ground with a branch.

"There are two jeeps. There are no tanks or heavy artillery, but they are loaded with heavy machine guns! Everyone is well-dressed, equipped with rifles, a large number of grenades, and more than a dozen US troops carry submachine guns. Also, they seem to be divided into In two rounds, the puppet army entered the house where we lived before to rest... Well, that is Miss Jin's house. The Americans camped outside instead. There are lights in the camp and there are people guarding the outside. Are there other large firepower weapons in the camp? Unknown for now." Yu Congrong replied.

Xu Qing said, "Fortunately, we didn't stay there."

Yu Congrong said: "That's right, we're going to spend the night there. If we encounter enemies, we'll be passive. Fortunately, the golden girl came..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone looked at Jin Xuhua at the same time: Fortunately, she also went up the mountain!

It's really a blessing to survive the catastrophe.

Lei Gong asked: "Will you fight?"

"Fight, why not!" Qianli said, "There is only one way down the mountain. If they don't leave tomorrow, we can only hide here. If they find out, it will be a dead end. And now it's snowing outside. The weather is very cold, and they must rest when they camp here. We are on the mountain, condescending, and there are twice as many people as them.

Mei Sheng said seriously, "What about the escort mission?"

Qianli said: "Separate into two squads first, one for the artillery platoon and one for the firepower platoon. They will protect the interpreters and the radio station, and they can leave a way out if something goes wrong."

"Comrade company commander, I personally disagree with this plan. We are also fighters, and I request to join the battle." Zhang Xiaoshan immediately said after hearing this.

The other three translators also expressed their views.

Seeing their resolute attitude, Qianli and Mei Sheng had a quick discussion and decided to keep them in the back row, but they were not allowed to directly participate in the battle, and they were more to help with logistics.So he was assigned with Xu Qing again.

Several platoon leaders and instructors then stood together and drew the distribution of the terrain below with branches on the ground, and immediately began to assign combat tasks and locations.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, a little nervous in his heart, he met the enemy unexpectedly so quickly that he himself felt like he was still in a dream.

A few hours ago, everyone was sitting around watching the little flower girl dancing and humming softly... The night was so quiet.

But at this moment, everyone has to dress up as a soldier, fighting desperately with the enemy army of unknown origin.

This war came unexpectedly.

But he knew that he didn't have time to think about other things—because if the enemies don't die, they won't survive!
Seeing his condition, Lei Gong put down his gun, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you nervous? Don't be afraid. I still wash the pants!"

Ping He couldn't help laughing when he heard it beside him: "I can prove this."

Xu Qing looked at Yu Congrong who was wrapped in a quilt not far away, he didn't smile, but he calmed down a lot, and said solemnly: "Understood, I won't hold back!"

After adjusting for so many days, I also have some confidence in my current marksmanship. As a traverser with a golden finger, so many fighters here are high-spirited and fearless, and I can't be cowardly!
Collect all the information from the investigation, and the task will be issued soon. Everyone has a gun in hand and is full of fighting spirit.

"The deployment of the battle has been released, and it is still the same. One of the platoons charged and reconnaissance, went to the enemy camp to attack in close quarters, and wiped out the enemy's defense force! The artillery platoon supported it with firepower. Once discovered, it immediately destroyed the enemy's cars and Heavy weapons, take out the firepower! Three rows and four rows are divided into squads, and each squad is divided into three combat groups, surrounded by scattered soldiers. Once fired, they can attack freely. We strive to wipe out the enemy, everyone Do you have confidence?" Qianli finally asked.

The soldiers of the Seventh Company said: "Yes!"

Qianli suddenly said, "What time is it?"

Mei Sheng looked at his watch: "It's just arrived at [-]:[-] in the morning."

"Okay, then attack at four o'clock in the morning!"

.........

Qilian and his party set off quickly, heading towards the designated location in batches, and laying an ambush at the designated location.Donglin Mountain is a mountain depression, and at the bottom of the basin are ruined villages.

At around 45:[-], everyone was already in place.

There was a lot of wind and snow outside, and the snow layer on the ground had accumulated almost to the ankles, and it was still floating in the sky. The weather at this time was more than minus 20 degrees.

Xu Qing followed Lei Gong and Pao in a squad, and Zhang Xiaoshan and other four translators stopped in the southwest.Everyone put on the cotton clothes on the outside, and a layer of white cotton cloth inside was the best camouflage in the snow.

It was really cold, Xu Qing gritted her teeth, but she didn't make a sound. When she stopped, lying on the snow, no matter where her body was, she could feel the biting chill, and her hands and feet couldn't control her.

Lei Gong waited for everyone to lie down, turned his head away, and whispered to him: "Ping He said that your marksmanship has improved very quickly, I don't know how fast. But you remember, when you see the enemy mainly hits the body, if he rushes up, you will be fine." Start on the head, hit the feet when running downhill."

Xu Qing nodded, "Understood."

This method also has his experience in improving his shooting skills. Shooting ahead of time can hit the enemy more effectively from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.These are the methods summed up in the battlefield deathmatch, which are very valuable.

He put his Mosin Nagant gun on the ground, adjusted its position, and aimed at the camp below the mountain.

From this direction, you can clearly see the whole village.According to the information obtained from the investigation just now, the puppet soldiers all entered the house of the North Korean girl Xiaohua's house, but the Americans did not enter for some reason, but set up five tents near the woods.

Barbed wire fences and some simple obstacle traps were set up around the camp. There were about eight soldiers guarding the camp entrance and the house.

Xu Qing's spirit reached the peak, he had already pressed the bullets into the magazine one by one, obviously in the freezing and snowy field of minus [-] degrees, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, but he felt a trace of blood rushing up all over his body.

Below the mountain, if the eyes were not good enough, it would be almost impossible to see that Yu Congrong and a squad of soldiers were crawling forward on the snow field. The cotton was worn backwards and the snowflakes fell on their bodies, which became their best camouflage.

It was more dangerous and colder there, and the group had already climbed to a position about 20 meters in front of each camp. Because he was worried that there were hidden mines buried within the range of the barbed wire, Yu Congrong did not move forward, but put a bullet whistle in his mouth , slowly took out the carbine, and waited intently.

Getting closer to the agreed time for the battle, Xu Qing felt that his body was a little frozen, and subconsciously wanted to move his hands and feet a little, but looking around, almost no one of the fighters in pairs moved, and he didn't Move around again.

"Is this what we're fighting called guerrilla warfare?" He couldn't help asking, looking at the calm soldiers around him.

Unexpectedly, Lei Gong gave him an unexpected answer: "No, we are fighting a war of annihilation!"

　Today is the 85th anniversary of the July [-]th Incident, we should remember the smoke of the Marco Polo Bridge!
