Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 68

The frenzy of public opinion in the European world was blowing crazily like a strong wind in an invisible place, and newspapers used huge English letters on the headlines to attract people's attention.

The international issues caused by this are spreading in the outside world, like boiling water, stirring up waves of public opinion and affecting people, and even deeper and farther levels.

But this whirlwind couldn't blow Xu Qing who was trekking alone in the icy snow field.

In the middle of the night on November [-]th, dark clouds were densely covered, and bursts of cold wind made the branches covered with icicles shiver. Tiny potholes.

At this time, the snow stopped for a rare moment, but the cold wind was still whistling and cold. Xu Qing walked on the empty and silent towering snow field, hunched over his equipment and slowly walked up.

rustling...

He put down the compass and looked at the dim sky, but he didn't speed up. In such a boundless world, he could only rely on the map and the mountain marks in front of him as barriers to prevent him from getting lost.

"There are still three miles to reach Kiyosaki River, and about ten kilometers away, we should be able to arrive."

He didn't look at the map, he gently built a tent in front of his eyes with his hands, squinted and looked carefully into the distance.

Looking at the past from his point of view, the terrain and mountains around here.It is relatively more spacious than the previous road, but relatively speaking, the mountains and snowy ridges encountered are taller.

In the past, there were often small mountains one after another, and they could be climbed over in a short time, but now they encountered more large-scale mountains covering a wide area, stretching for more than ten kilometers.

It takes longer to climb up, even a day or two if you go around.

This is North Korea.

It is not very far from Pingnan Town, where the 38th Army is stationed, to Dayu Cave, Zhisi Command Headquarters. He set off at night and has already walked a half way, and he is expected to arrive around early morning.

Zhu Yueqing, the head of the 38th Regiment, did not give a detailed address. In fact, the location was very secret, and he did not know where it was. Only the commander of the [-]th Army, Liang Xingchu, had ever arrived.

Although Xu Qing was still wearing an American military uniform, Xu Youguang gave him a brand new military uniform before leaving, and he had already put it on.

There are American clothes and cloaks outside to cover up, so that as long as you meet our soldiers, you will not recognize the wrong person.

After more than half an hour, Xu Qing rested for a while along the way, and finally crossed this towering snow ridge.

Standing on the mountain range, you can see a vast and very desolate country under this snowy ridge. What you can see is still rolling hills, wide-open rift valleys, and snow and ice everywhere.

"What a boring journey..."

He remembered the chairman's words: the scenery of the northern country is covered with ice for thousands of miles.

It depicts the winter scenery of mountains and rivers wrapped in silver all the way to the north of the motherland, but it makes people feel a little irritated when such poems are used in this poor land.

Because there are few places where people can be seen, there are places with a large number of buildings, and this place is far away from the city. Many of the settlements of North Korean residents that can be seen have been destroyed by the war, leaving only wreckage.

He walked down the mountain and turned two or three turns to the flat ground. There were some jagged stones on the snow. This was a bare gravel beach mixed with arbor wood.

As he was walking, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and saw a reflection of light among several stones about a few hundred meters away.

The light spot was small, but it was indeed noticed by his sharp eyes.

what is that?
Stone, glass, mirror, or sniper scope?
In the blink of an eye, several guesses flashed through Xu Qing's mind.

Whatever it is, it's not necessarily a good thing to see such a situation in the dark and snowy fields during the war.

He didn't stop at his feet immediately. Once he stopped, it would be more likely to cause unknown consequences. Instead, he continued to walk forward slowly, but his body was already tense, ready to deal with it at any time.

Suddenly, he saw the thin reflective spot tremble in his slightly squinted eyes, and then disappeared.

"not good."

brush!
In the next second, he quickly lay down on the ground.

If it is an enemy, this is most likely a precursor to shooting him after observing.

Xu Qing's whole body quickly rolled to the side, his movements were kept as small as possible, and then he hid himself behind a stone.

Click.

Xu Qing took off the equipment on his body, checked the gun immediately, and observed with his back against the stone.

There was no gunfire.

But he didn't take it lightly, he had to figure out the situation before talking.

Looking around, there are some stones around that can be used to cover up the whereabouts.

He quickly put down the conspicuous things on his body and threw them together with his backpack, and then he packed lightly, prepared weapons, bullets, and grenades, and then quickly crawled behind another stone next to him.

Xu Qing, dressed in white, was crawling forward at a fast pace, and it was hard to notice without careful observation.

His whole figure was like a moving snowman in the snow, but within two to three minutes, he moved forward hundreds of meters from the side.

Stopping behind a rock, he was less than five or sixty meters away from the place where the flashing point appeared just now. He didn't move, lying there and listening quietly.

At this time, there was no wind and snow falling at midnight, and the surroundings were empty and silent. He concentrated, and could hear a faint chatter in Korean near the stone beach in front of him.

He couldn't hear it clearly, but quickly, he switched the system interface to open.

When he captured those U.S. cavalry soldiers and Rhee Syngman soldiers before, he deliberately learned a little Korean while interrogating the prisoners of war, and the Korean language skill appeared early on the system interface.

What was a little spare back then is now in use.

He allocated [-] points of experience investment, and soon, a wave of advanced language listening, writing, and speaking repeatedly used knowledge and experience emerged in his mind, and he felt like using and learning for many years in an instant.

Listening again, he could vaguely understand the conversation:

"The Yankee...is gone..."

"Maybe resting..."

"Let's... go say hello..."

Xu Qing was a little confused, so, is this an enemy or not?

He can only be sure that the other party should be a North Korean, but he does not know whether it is "South" or "North".

Just as he was thinking, the person on the opposite side had already discussed the result. Suddenly, a guy shouted in English behind the stone:

"Hello, American sir! We, friendly forces, Smecta!"

"Our allies, Smecta!"

This guy's English is definitely not very good. Not only does his pronunciation sound strange, but he often can't even complete a sentence when he speaks.

Xu Qing immediately understood that this was another way of thinking of herself as an American!

If that's the case, the other party's identity will be immediately clear——Sungman Lee's person!

With a turn of his mind, he put down the gun he was aiming at, then retreated to the stone just now, and responded in English:

"Soldier, are you from South Korea, which attached team?"

Actually.

According to China's current limited intelligence, it is also known that South Korea and the United States have reached an informal agreement, some will add South Korean soldiers to the US troops, and some will pull up South Korean troops as auxiliary troops.

But Xu Qing didn't expect that there, suddenly there was no sound.

After waiting for a while, he heard the man's voice just now:
"Sir, America! We are not troops, we are intelligence officers!"

When Xu Qing looked back and saw the stone, two or three people had already stood up.

At first glance, they looked like ordinary North Koreans, because they were dressed in simple clothes, all of which were Korean people's daily life clothes, and none of them wore military uniforms at all.

Xu Qing's heart trembled:
Not a soldier, but better than a soldier, this is a secret agent in disguise!

Xu Qing immediately retracted some of the leaking expressions, checked his body for any proper places, then covered his face with a mask, only showing a pair of eyes, and stood up as well.

He has already seen the person opposite, two men, plus a woman, the man covered his head with a hat, holding a small mirror in his hand, without a gun, and the woman was about 27 or [-] years old, holding a pigeon in her arms , which looks more ordinary.

He didn't move, and the three people on the opposite side had already walked over. The leading man bowed and said in English with a shy face:

"Sir, we saw you alone, do you need help?"

Xu Qing felt a little nervous. This was the first time he had encountered this kind of secret agent. Before, he usually fought in and out, straight in and out, without any psychological burden.

Now... it's time to act.

He remained calm and replied in English:
"Oh, how can you help me?"

The man bowed his waist: "We can help you contact your army, sir! Maybe we can also guide the plane to pick you up?"

"That's great!"

Xu Qing straddled his rifle behind his face, seemingly unprepared, and said happily, "I have been out of the army for long enough, do you have wine and hot food? I miss the warm tent so much! "

"Yes, yes." The man hesitated, "We have our own place in the village, where we have some fresh food!"

"Very good! Take me there quickly, I'm really fed up with this cold weather-don't worry, God can testify, I will let your chief remember your achievements!"

"Thank you for your generosity, sir! Please, please come with us, the village is not far away!"

The man is overjoyed.

Then he chatted with the two people next to him in Korean, looking very excited.

Xu Qing could understand. The content was roughly that he and others could make meritorious service again. Saving one American was more meritorious than killing ten North Koreans.

Another man and a woman also had smiles on their faces after hearing what he said, and they were even so happy that they wanted to come over to take Xu Qing's backpack and luggage from him.

Xu Qing declined with a smile. There are a lot of grenades and ammunition inside.

He could clearly see that these spies were not carrying any particularly effective weapons for camouflage.I'm afraid it was the volunteer soldiers who discovered them. As long as they didn't do anything, it would be difficult for ordinary people to identify them as enemies.

Xu Qing followed them and asked, "Korean friends, what's your name?"

The English-speaking man replied respectfully: "My name is Kim Hyung-gil, his name is An Pengcheng, and she is Jeon Hye-young. We are both intelligence officers who studied together at the secret service school in Tokyo, Japan."

"Oh, what are you doing here? It's still outside in such cold weather."

"We were airdropped to Pingnan Township, North Pyongan Province, to collect information on North Korea's garrisons, ammunition depots, and grain depots, and to designate targets for your plane bombing."

"Isn't Pingnan Town far away from here?"

Jin Hengji did not doubt that he was there: "We were ordered on the road to check whether there are enemies in a nearby area where radio wave models often appear, so we delayed a little time here."

"Is that so..."

Xu Qing nodded slowly.

I have some calculations in my heart. I'm afraid it's not our Volunteer Army Command that was detected by American planes during the frequent use of radio stations?
He felt awe-inspiring, obviously the distance between this place and Zhisi's side was not too far.

Regardless of whether it is... or not, their investigation cannot be allowed to succeed, so as not to pose a threat.

"Sir, slow down, it's right here!"

Xu Qing followed the three of them forward with an "arrogant face".

From his point of view, it can be seen that these three people are in a very good mood, but from their point of view, they saved an American who was alone, as if they saw a great achievement right in front of them.

However, Xu Qing looked at their figures from behind, murderous intent emerged in his eyes, and couldn't help but want to shoot them directly from behind several times!
But he held back for the time being, the identity of the American is very useful.

They treated him like a father.

It's just a good opportunity to check the situation of their foothold, whether there are other personnel deployed, and what step has been learned about the detection and situation in this area. This information is very necessary to know.

Some dangers must be nipped in the cradle.

Xu Qing looked at the backs of these people, pretending to be simple villagers, but their hands were covered with blood, and they had extremely sinister intentions. His eyes narrowed slightly:

The front wheel does not turn and the back wheel turns, Smecta.

This time...you have turned to the wrong person.
