Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

This was a good start. After that, their team searched the mountain. He Yuzhu saw a roe deer on a small hillside in the shadow of the sun, about 150 meters away.

The man and the beast just stared at each other.

He Yuzhu immediately took off the carbine on his back, pulled the safety, and loaded the bullet into the chamber, all in one go.

The roe deer was indeed the stupid one in the north. Seeing the "two-legged beast" holding a gun in front of it, it did not run away but walked towards him foolishly.

He Yuzhu didn't bother to be polite with it. He fired a volley of bullets and knocked it down on the spot, sending it to heaven and bliss.

....................

After a whole day of hunting, their guard company was like a swarm of locusts, and all the game in the mountains suffered.

When they returned to the camp, they had hunted a wild boar, a roe deer, several snow rabbits, and collected a large number of wild vegetables, fruits and various mushrooms.

These things not only supplement the protein needed by the human body, but also a lot of vitamins and dietary fiber.

That night, He Yuzhu became the busiest person in the entire company. He began to greet the soldiers in the kitchen squad and started to divide the work and cooperate to process the ingredients.

Pots of meat soup, mushroom soup and wild vegetable soup were prepared one after another, which also gave the volunteer soldiers of the 113th Division a treat.

He Yuzhu naturally also prepared an extra meal for the division command post, and immediately sent someone to deliver the prepared dishes there.

When the division commander Jiang Chao and the political commissar Yu Jingshan looked at the various delicious dishes in front of them, they couldn't stop smiling.

Especially when they ate roe deer meat stewed with hazel mushrooms, the taste was simply amazing.

Only now did they realize how lucky they were to have a cook like He Yuzhu in the team.

When simple materials fall into his hands, they can be transformed into something magical.

He Yuzhu's cooking skills directly conquered the division command post and all the volunteer soldiers of the 113th Division. Everyone privately gave him a nickname, the Kitchen Saint.

Jiang Chao and others learned their lesson this time and did not call the army commander Liang Xingchu. The main reason was that they were afraid that it would be difficult to explain if the army commander held them accountable.

Compared to the happy scene at the 38th Division of the 113th Army.

At this time, the 38rd Corps, the 3th Corps and the 9th Corps of the Volunteer Army near the "19th Parallel" were fighting fiercely with the US Joint Forces.

Lee Chi-wei, commander-in-chief of the US Joint Forces, was no fool, but a famous general with real talent. Due to the first four battles, he misjudged the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army and mistook them for the Kuomintang army with weak combat effectiveness, which led to his own defeat.

This time, he took the Volunteer Army very seriously. According to the known intelligence, he already knew that three corps of the Volunteer Army had rushed to the front line, ready to fight against the US Joint Forces under his command.

However, he keenly realized that due to the increase in the number of volunteer troops participating in the war, the consumption and supply of various materials were also increasing exponentially.

To this end, he immediately increased the frequency and number of US military aircraft dispatched, and focused the attacks on the Volunteer Army's logistics supply routes, which would greatly disrupt the Volunteer Army's supply.

As for the front battlefield, he boldly appointed Van Fleet, who graduated from the same military academy, as the commander of the Eighth Army. He adopted a strategic depth combat method against the various units of the Volunteer Army and used the rapid response capabilities of the US military's mechanization to seize some advantageous strongholds.

And Van Fleet did not disappoint Li Qiwei. The Volunteer Army adopted a tactical infiltration combat method, but he refused to take the bait and pretended to retreat, each time retreating 25 kilometers, which was exactly the limit of the Volunteer Army's physical strength in one day.

When the volunteers retreated, they used their mechanized rapid response capabilities to catch up with the retreating volunteers and launch sniper attacks.

This led to a very embarrassing situation for the Volunteer Army: they could not catch up no matter how hard they tried to chase, and they could not outrun no matter how hard they tried to run.

As the situation changed, the volunteer army suffered heavy casualties and the situation became very passive.

This caused the battle, which was originally on the verge of breaking out, to become a meat grinder.

To put it simply, the Volunteer Army wanted to fight the US Joint Forces, but the other side would not fight you head-on. You advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, making you run around all the time. Due to the US military's strong logistical support and powerful rapid mobility, the Volunteer Army lagged behind the US military in logistics, equipment, and air supremacy. They felt particularly uncomfortable and passive, just like punching cotton, unable to exert any strength.

Although the Volunteer Army had a much greater military advantage than the US Joint Forces, the opponent's shameless tactics made the battle temporarily evenly matched, and there was even a slight tendency for the Volunteer Army to be at a disadvantage.

The 19th and 65th Armies under the 64th Corps were trying their best to break through the Imjin River. However, the 8th Army under the US Joint Forces was well prepared and had arranged a solid defense line at the frontier positions after the 65th and 64th Armies crossed the river. A large number of tanks, artillery, and heavy machine gun positions served as a barrier, blocking the volunteer soldiers of the two armies in front of the frontier positions.

Since the 19th Corps was responsible for a very important penetration mission, if it could not break through the Imjin River in a short period of time, it would affect the strategic deployment of the three corps and the direction of the entire battle.

This made the then commander of the 19th Corps anxious. He ordered the 65th and 64th Armies to break through the US positions at all costs.

............................

At this time, Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army of the First Corps, also received an order from the Volunteer Army Headquarters to rush to the front line to reinforce the 64th and 65th Armies who were in a tough battle at the Imjin River.

He Yuzhu, who had been enjoying a few days of comfort, was a little surprised after hearing the latest military order.

However, no matter how unexpected it was, he was just the deputy company commander of a guard company, and he could only do whatever his superiors told him to do.

Afterwards, all the troops of the 38th Army headed towards the Imjin River, ready to provide support to the friendly forces.

Three hours later, they arrived at their destination, the Imjin River.

But the scene before them stunned them all. The originally yellow river water had turned red, and the bodies of the volunteer soldiers were everywhere.

The shallows on the other side of the Imjin River were filled with densely packed volunteer soldiers, but their situation at this time was very embarrassing. American fighter planes were constantly dropping bombs and incendiary bombs in the sky, and American machine guns and artillery were bombarding their positions in the frontline positions not far away.

Moreover, the space on the other side of the Imjin River is limited and is not suitable for large-scale combat.
