Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 77 The U.S. Air Drop from the Sky

Xu Qing followed the railway convoy all the way stop and go, usually at night and when the wind and snow were heavy, and if there were planes or suspected enemy tracks, he would immediately cover up and hide on the spot.

Today is the morning of the third day, and after a while, everyone will not dare to move on, and they will find a suitable place to hide.

"The investigators reported that about eight kilometers ahead, there is a ravine that can be used for hiding. Everyone rests for 5 minutes, and then drives at full speed..."

Soon there were soldiers running down from the front of the convoy, shouting to the convoy behind.

Xu Qing woke up slightly from a light sleep, he looked at the sky, five or six hours had passed since last night, and it was another night's journey through the mountains.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, and no enemies were encountered.

"morning!"

Song Weiguo and others beside him also woke up.

This is a temporary two-person combat team assigned by Mr. Peng. One is Song Weiguo as the guard, and the other is Gao Xiyou, a soldier in the guard company.

One of them is good at sniping observation posts, and the other is good at latent assault investigation.

Song Weiguo has outstanding eyesight and keen observation ability. When Xu Qing came to Dayu Cave, he was the first to spot it from a distance.

He is also good at marksmanship. He is mainly responsible for the position of the observer in the sniper team, searching for targets during combat, and calculating various data. He can provide Xu Qing with effective auxiliary support for sniper killing.

Gao Xiyou has other tasks. He has to rush to the station of Song Shilun, the commander of the Ninth Corps in Chengfangdong, to submit relevant materials, and he will leave from time to time after passing the Langlin Mountains.

"Morning~" Xu Qing smiled and said hello.

In the past few days, they took turns walking around, traveling at night, resting more during the day, and everyone's spirits were a little bit upside down.

"Chief, let's go down and do some activities?"

Song Weiguo stretched his waist and asked.

"Don't!" Xu Qing's eyelids froze, she was startled, and lowered her voice, "Don't call me chief, I can't afford it, I'm just a recruit just like you."

Song Weiguo said meticulously:
"You are the chief. Mr. Peng entrusted me to your subordinates, and I will be your soldier."

"This is how..."

Xu Qing had no choice but to say: "Call me by name, or the team leader."

"Leader, shall we go down then?"

Song Weiguo was kind, and Gao Xiyou watched with a smile.

The other soldiers had already got out of the car, and there were only three of them left in the car. They then picked up their guns, put the package on the car, and got out of the car.

The convoy stopped under the mountain wall on the side of the Panshan Highway, and there were scouts on the left and right hillsides watching around, in case there were enemies appearing in the dark.

When Xu Qing got out of the car, he saw a towering mountain range in the distance, majestic and hidden in the wind and snow. In fact, he had seen this mountain range a day ago, but after walking for a day, it was still close in front of him. Far away.

Song Weiguo rubbed his hands after getting out of the car, and asked curiously: "First...team leader, how did you practice your marksmanship? Why are you so accurate!"

Xu Qing came back to his senses, looked into his eyes and smiled: "Your marksmanship is also very good. I've heard that your marksmanship is also one of the best among the guards. It's a shame for me to be an observer."

"No, no." Song Weiguo waved his hands again and again, "I followed the bosses and saw how the team leader beat those sparrows! If it were me, I might not be able to knock down even a single feather. You can teach me later. ?"

"Okay, I'll teach you well on the way!"

Xu Qing smiled back.

On the road ahead, he still needs to have a good run-in with this young fighter.

Xu Qing then looked at the map he carried with him, and compared the location of the landmarks in front of him. This place is not too far from the Changjin Lake area. At most, it will take another day and a half before we can drive to the vicinity.

Everyone was on the side of the road, resting for a while while being vigilant, and soon set off again. The whole convoy moved forward quickly on the road.

Back in the car again, everyone's exhausted demeanor has been replenished, and they will be able to find a place to rest soon, and chat slowly again.

A soldier next to them looked at them and asked curiously:

"Comrade Chief, you have followed all the way, we still don't know which unit you belong to?"

Before Xu Qing could answer, Song Weiguo was already helping to explain: "It's not the chief! We are ordinary soldiers who were separated from the Ninth Corps, and we want to go to the east to find our own troops."

"So that's the case, you are really not the chief?"

Xu Qing smiled and shook her head: "Really not!"

He looked at the soldiers in the car and looked at him, so he changed the subject and asked, "Comrade, where are you all from?"

The tiger-headed warrior who just asked the question scratched his head and said:

"Where are you from? I don't know. What's the name of my poor place? Anyway, it's in Shandong. My name is Gao Chengyi. My mother said, there are 360 ​​lines in this world, as long as I can do it!"

Xu Qing nodded: "Then if you choose the path of being a soldier, you will succeed!"

"No, no, the squad leader said, I haven't fought an enemy yet, I haven't made enough money! How can I count it?"

"That's coming soon!"

Another young warrior said:

"I'm not as educated as you. My name is Yang Youzhong. I'm from Panzhihua, Xikang Province. I'm from Yanbian. I won't embarrass you!"

It was obviously his first time on the battlefield, and he growled excitedly as he spoke.

The soldiers applauded one after another: "Good job, don't be afraid, you just have the guts!"

"And me, my name is Pang Laifu. Is this a good name? My grandfather specially asked a blind fortune teller at the entrance of the village to pinch it out!"

"What's the matter, Pang Laifu--Pang Laifu, I think you'll have to look for that blind man when you go back!"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Why is it bad? Okay, when I go back after the war, I have to ask that Chen Banxia for an explanation!"

"Let's go, let's go, it's up to me, I'm from Chengdu, hey! Don't make a fuss, my name is not Gua Wazi, that's my mother's name..."

Xu Qing looked at these lovely people. This was the first time for this group of soldiers to go to the battlefield, and it was also the first time for them to express their hearts with all their strength. The inside of the car was slightly boiling.

He could see that each of them had a lot of excitement and apprehension coexisting in their hearts, and they vented out a little bit of uneasiness in their hearts by joking.

Xu Qing slightly sighed, compared to them, he was already a veteran...

Just thinking about it, a group of soldiers are urging the driver in front to introduce themselves:
"Don't be afraid, just say it!"

"Yeah, you've been singing so happily every day, why are you so embarrassed to be here!"

"Hey, you little bastards."

The driver smiled shyly: "My name is..."

"Enemy attack—"

Suddenly a soldier in the car in front shouted.

All the soldiers were startled, and quickly stretched their heads to look out of the car, only to see that the car had already braked sharply in front of the convoy, and many soldiers looked up at the sky.

Someone said: "Don't be nervous, it's an airplane, we've seen a lot on this trip, everyone stay calm!"

However, Xu Qing was still cautious, immediately grabbed the rifle in his hand, put all the ammunition on his back, and told Song Weiguo and Gao Xi:

"Pay attention to your surroundings."

"Yes!"

Xu Qing jumped off the truck, looked up, and saw a US military transport plane flying by in the distance in the sky, followed by a reconnaissance plane, with dozens of parachutes of various sizes flying down below the plane.

He squinted his eyes, and at a glance, he could vaguely see airdrops and packages under the white umbrellas, and some of them were suspected to be soldiers.
