Lost and Spy

Meng Shaoyuan was actually somewhat grateful to these Americans.

After all, here, he learned a lot of knowledge that he had never been exposed to before and had no chance to access.

And despite this knowledge, it seems that as the war is coming to an end, it will not be of much use.

However, Meng Shaoyuan was useful.

And it's useful.

Immediately, Company F began to clear the minefield.

In places with clearly marked points, the "snake" blasting tube and the "carrot" explosive package obviously played a great role.

The explosions again and again caused the mines to detonate one after another.

Yes, the speed is a bit slow, but it can ensure the safety of soldiers to a great extent.

And taking advantage of this time, the 4.2-inch chemical mortar was finally installed.

It's a big mess to install.

But its enormous power was soon realized.

"Hey, hey, shoot first!"

Under Lieutenant Nate's order, the mortar firing angle was quickly adjusted.

A high-explosive bomb roared out.

After a while, there was an explosion on the opposite side.

The Japanese position, the line of defense consisting of two abandoned trucks, was blown up in an instant.

The Japanese soldiers who had been hiding behind the truck lost their cover in one fell swoop, except for a few who were killed on the spot.

This kind of high-explosive bomb is undoubtedly the most powerful weapon for attacking fortifications.

Lieutenant Nate was obviously also very satisfied with this test firing: "It's great. When the remaining mortars arrive tomorrow morning, we can start working on those monkeys."

"What else?" Meng Shaoyuan was taken aback.

"Yes, Major." Lieutenant Nate obviously felt a little strange about Meng Shaoyuan's question: "Company F is a standard heavy mortar company. We were ordered to join you immediately, so we only carried one mortar, and the remaining 11 Mortars, the trucks will bring them for us."

12 doors!
Meng Shaoyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

What kind of power is this?
Whether it was before or now, Meng Shaoyuan has always had a clear understanding of the strength of the US military's equipment.

But now it seems that my understanding is still insufficient.

F Company, Heavy Mortar Company.

In the past, the national army also had mortar companies in the country.

At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, a mortar company had 123 soldiers and had four 82 mortars.

After deducting the artillery squad, ammunition squad, observation, signal, veterinarian, clerical, quartermaster sergeant, foreman, saddle worker, ironworker, etc., there are very few combat personnel.

Most of them use only light weapons.

And a heavy mortar company of the US military?

Not to mention the 12 chemical mortars, the combat personnel and weapons and equipment alone are extremely amazing.

When Company F first arrived, Meng Shaoyuan observed them carefully and thought they were the front-line combat troops.

This judgment is made from their weapons.

F连拥有24支手枪、62支加兰德、104支卡宾枪、6挺12.7毫米重机枪、4具超级巴祖卡火箭筒！
This is completely armed to the teeth.

Therefore, in North Korea, when that great army entered the initial stage of combat with the U.S. military, the intelligence showed that there was only one company of the U.S. military on the opposite side, and the commander used several times his strength, thinking that the battle could be easily resolved.

But they don't know that a company of the US military is completely different from other armies in terms of number and equipment.

The brilliant victories that followed were based on experience accumulated through blood and life.

Meng Shaoyuan wrote down all this silently.

He had to force himself to write down everything related to the US military.

Not a single word is missing.

This will save the lives of countless Chinese soldiers in the future!

This is my mission!

Company F didn't care about shell consumption at all.

They constantly fired shells, measured the distance, and confirmed the enemy's position.

Until dinner time, the gunfire was still ringing.

This inevitably made other US troops complain.

The dinner of the US military is divided into four types: ABCD.

A and B are delicacies carefully prepared by chefs, which can only be eaten on holidays. C is individual rations, D is emergency rations.

The most used is the C-type ration, which is the main food for front-line soldiers. It is divided into two parts. The first part is the accessory bag, which contains a roll of toilet paper, a pack of chewing gum, a simple can opener, and a bottle of clean water. A pack of cigarettes, a bottle of salt.

The second part is the staple food package, which includes 3 compressed biscuits, a piece of jam, a piece of chocolate and 2 boxes of Spam luncheon meat, with a total weight of 1.2 kg, which can be easily carried by soldiers.

For food, Meng Shaoyuan is not surprised at all.

Can you even think of toilet paper, chewing gum, can opener, and cigarettes?
Therefore, our army won a victory in North Korea, and if we capture it, we can give it a nice tribute.

"Damn snot!"

Lieutenant William opened the can of luncheon meat, but he really didn't have the appetite to swallow it.

He took a knife and cut a thin slice, which he used to polish his shoe.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled wryly.

When spam luncheon meat first appeared, due to its high meat content, there were 56 grams of fat and 15 grams of protein in every 7 grams, which could provide enough calories for soldiers.

In the middle of World War II, as the number of people participating in the war gradually increased, companies producing luncheon meat reduced the meat content in order to increase production and save costs, resulting in a decline in taste.

For this reason, front-line soldiers were very dissatisfied. They called luncheon meat "a mixture of snot and meat."

Unless there is really nothing to eat, the only function of luncheon meat for the US military is to shine shoes.

But in the eyes of the US military, this kind of garbage can only be used to shine shoes. If you throw a can of it to the Japanese army on the opposite side, they will rush out like a vicious dog now.

"Lieutenant, don't waste it." Meng Shaoyuan took Lieutenant William's can, cut a piece and put it in his mouth: "When I was a Japanese spy in Manila, there was a severe shortage of supplies in Manila, even among the Japanese army. food.

I think these cans of luncheon meat might be able to make some Japanese soldiers come out of the trenches and surrender. "

"Ah, I hope so." Lieutenant William was still complaining there: "Those damn contractors in the country, their hearts are black, and they produce this garbage for us to eat."

"It wasn't Holland America's idea."

The American Holland America Company produces the luncheon meat. Meng Shaoyuan is quite clear about the origin of the luncheon meat: "This is an order from the US Department of Defense. On the basis of adding a lot of starch, more salt is added, sacrificing the luncheon meat. The delicacy of the meat is exchanged for a certain sense of satiety and a supplement of salt, so that we can maintain sufficient physical strength."

That's right, the strong salty taste of luncheon meat, like poisonous gas, is poured into the bodies of American soldiers. Every time they finish eating a can, they have to drink a big mouthful of water to suppress the salty taste.

Of course, this also allowed the US Department of Defense to save a lot of war funds.

"Those pig heads from the Ministry of Defense, let them go to hell." Lieutenant William muttered: "Let them come to the front line, these beasts, let them eat these junk food!"
