Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 40

After burying Xuan Qiang, the name on the registration list was also drawn with a red circle. Qilian rectified for a while, and then started on the road again.This kind of road is long and dangerous. After crossing Donglin Mountain, what we saw were mountains of different sizes, and what we have to climb today is one of the big mountains.

Qianli said: "The dead wood is in front of us. After passing through this mountain, we have less than two days to reach our destination."

This kind of trek is very painful, and Xu Qing doesn't know how many times he has heard such words from him.

Kumuli is mainly Kumu Ridge, where the mountains are steep and connected, and there is only one small path leading directly to the mountain and then directly to the mountain.The mountain is extremely steep, there is no protection on the trail, and it can only be passed by one person. In many places, there are cliffs next to it, and if you fall, you will be smashed to pieces.

But if it takes half a day to bypass this dangerous mountain, they have no choice.

"Everyone must be careful, your feet are all stepped on!"

Most of the day, Qilian and his party walked up the mountain cautiously, stepping on the moderately thick snow layer on the mountain road, except for a war horse that fell off the cliff with some equipment, there was no major accident.

Finally, on the way down the mountain, everyone stopped to rest near the top of the mountain.

A group of people flipped through the cans seized from the Americans, opened the lids, and fried noodles with dry powder, mixed with snow to eat.

After Xu Qing finished eating, he chatted with Lei Gong for a few words, took a break, and went back to Pinghe and asked, "Can you tell me about your experience of shooting a plane with a gun?"

"of course can."

While eating, Ping He replied that he was not hiding anything.

"Using a rifle to fight a plane is actually a helpless move. When we fought guerrillas in the War of Resistance Against Japan, it was the same as now. We had no planes of our own and no air defense force. We could only fight with guns in our hands."

"This is also a kind of sadness, but we have indeed had many records in shooting down aircraft with rifles. The most important trick is the same as ordinary shooting. We must accurately estimate the amount of advance and then shoot."

"The speed of the plane is very fast, it is difficult to aim, and most of the vital parts are protected. Sometimes it is difficult to penetrate with our weapons alone, so it is easy not to shoot without absolute certainty."

"A plane comes from the sky. Once it is not shot down, he only needs to sweep the machine guns on the fuselage and drop a few...napalm or bombs, and we will die."

He gave Xu Qing a guilty look, as if explaining why he didn't make a move yesterday.

Xu Qing nodded.

Ping He continued: "However, there are exceptions to everything. There was once a squad in the regiment who fired a bullet net in front of the enemy plane at the same time, causing the fuselage to hit it by itself, and the plane crashed on the spot."

"This is the function of estimating the amount in advance. As for how to estimate, let me teach you..."

He is very dedicated.

He taught Xu Qing some of the native skills of shooting down planes summed up by the Eighth Route Army and his own experience.Today's Xu Qing is no longer a rookie in shooting.Understand the general idea quickly, and get started quickly.

In the early morning, he killed four enemies and gave him 1.6 experience points. Although all of them were spent on his physique in order to escape the flames, his physique had already reached [-].But the enhancement of his physique is also of great help to his shooting skills.

The endurance is stronger, and the qualities of eyesight and physical strength have been greatly improved.This provides a strong backing support for his basic fighting skills.

What Ping He said was sorted out, absorbed, and summarized, and passed through his mind over and over again.

He was thinking:
If given the chance, he would definitely try it.

After chatting, he thought about the shooting skills in his mind, and returned to the artillery platoon. He just sat down in the bushes by the tree when he heard soldiers nearby eating and talking together.

"How do you eat this thing? You can't even open it..."

"You're so stupid. I'll teach you. Just cut the bayonet open."

"What's the date today?"

"Who remembers this?"

"Why do I feel like several months have passed..."

"You're freezing!"

"Hey, tell me, when is Chinese New Year?"

"Hurry up, when the battle is over, it should be almost New Year's Eve, hehe, you say that, I really want to eat dumplings made by my mother..."

In the crowd of the artillery platoon, the deputy company commander of the Seventh Company said in a Sichuan accent: "Eat a hammer, don't talk too much, I would like to have a whole hot pot. It's called a Ba Shi when you cook it this day..."

The deputy company commander is He Changgui, but he is relatively dull and doesn't talk much.Even if Qianli is the company commander, he is the deputy company commander, and he is also among the top three quietest in the entire Seventh Company.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but speak.

Most of the volunteer soldiers in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea are from Sichuan.Sichuan has more than 3 martyrs and heroes in the entire War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, which is the highest in the country. One can imagine how many people in Sichuan participated in the total?

"Don't talk about hot pot, I just want to eat a bowl of hot rice." This is what another veteran soldier said.

Xu Qing couldn't help swallowing a little while listening.Although what he ate was American canned food, he wasn't too used to it, but rather missed the taste of his hometown.

When did white rice smell so good to him?
For a moment, he thought of Zhejiang Water Town, Huzhou, fishing villages, fishing boats, parents...

There is also a modern carefree life. Now that I think about it, what is the problem of failing a postgraduate entrance examination?People are always desperately hypocritical in comfort.

Just as his thoughts were flying, Lei Gong came over and sat down to look at the can in his hand. Xu Qing didn't understand, so he raised his hand and looked at it: "What's wrong?"

"Pork flavor?" Lei Gong asked.

Xu Qing didn't understand for a moment and nodded.

"Mine is beef-flavored, try it." After saying that, Lei Gong stuffed the can in his hand, and then walked away.

"No, you guys want to eat too..."

"Of course we also eat it. Americans love to eat this. They are so tall. You are still young. Eat more, and maybe you can grow taller. We are not soldiers of the Kuomintang. Can we treat you badly? Eat Hurry up and eat, don't worry about it." He waved his hand.

Xu Qing stopped shouting and stopped.

Inexplicably moved.

He is young, he is a recruit, everyone has been taking good care of him, not to mention, they have always left him with edible and delicious food all the way, for a moment, he thought of the love his parents had for him when he was a child, and it was the same all the time thinking of you.

"Company Commander!" Just as everyone was eating in a hurry, scouts from Yu Congrong's firepower platoon came back from the other side of the mountain, looking anxious.

Seeing this, everyone immediately instinctively put down everything in their hands, such as tin cans, chow mein bags, and biscuits, and quickly held their guns on guard.

Qianli immediately said, "What's going on?"

Now it was afternoon and evening was approaching, the sky had just fallen, and they were just about to find a place to repair, but they didn't expect such a mess to happen again.

The scout said: "In the mountain depression two kilometers ahead, there was the sound of gunfire. It seems that multiple forces are fighting. The fighting party is unknown, but there are large-scale vehicle crush marks on the side of the road. If we continue to advance northwest, I'm afraid will pass there!"

The expressions of all the soldiers changed with fear.

Qianli and Mei Sheng exchanged glances, looked at everyone's expressions, and then said: "Investigate again, report again, this matter must be prudent, and everything will be discussed after the investigation is clear. It may be the enemy, and everyone should prepare for the battle in advance." Prepare, we have successfully wiped out an American army, even if we can't beat it, we must not lose face to the volunteers!"

Qilian: "Yes!"
