Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Chapter 16: Change clothes first

"what happened to him?"

A soldier from the North Korean People's Army asked.

Wang Huasheng laughed and said, "It's my first time killing people on the battlefield. I feel sick."

"The first time, oh, he was really powerful, every shot of the knife hit the throat, and it was fatal." The People's Army soldier exclaimed.

Wang Huasheng found it incredible. If he used a gun, he had to pull the bolt after each shot. It would definitely take some time to kill these nine people. However, Qin Zheng only threw out nine flying knives in an instant and the enemies were solved. This individual combat capability was so strong that the reconnaissance company must have found a treasure.

These nine South Korean soldiers were considered a single-soldier combat team. In a split second, they were wiped out by this soldier who was on the battlefield for the first time. This soldier was indeed very powerful.

Just now, Qin Zheng sneaked quickly to the vicinity of the battlefield and saw more clearly that the 9 enemies were all holding M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles, while their opponents were obviously holding Type rifles, and their firepower was far inferior.

Fortunately, it was night time and the People's Army soldiers launched a surprise attack, injuring two enemies the moment they opened fire.

However, as the battle unfolded, it became difficult for the People's Army soldiers to achieve any results, and it was a luxury to escape unscathed.

Qin Zheng did not hesitate any longer. He waved his hands and nine flying knives shot out continuously, piercing straight into the throat of the South Korean soldier, killing him with one blow.

After vomiting for nearly a minute, Qin Zheng finally controlled the discomfort in his stomach.

Looking at the company commander again, he was already leading the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Qin Zheng hurried over and saw that the car was full of boxes of supplies. He jumped in without a care and started to look through them.

"Captain, there are guns, bullets, grenades and shells in the car. It should be a supply truck."

Here, a voice came from another car: "There are a lot of food in this car, haha, a lot of canned food."

While no one was paying attention, Qin Zheng put a box of bullets and a box of grenades into the space, then picked up a rectangular box and got out of the car. He pried the box open with a bayonet, and a brand new M1 Garand rifle came into view.

There were only five Type 38 rifle bullets in his pocket. There was nothing he could do about it; the Volunteer Army was just that poor.

With a laugh, Qin Zheng picked up a semi-automatic rifle. It was his.

As for the Type 5 rifle, he decided to leave it to the troops behind. He had to change his equipment anyway. After all, he only had bullets in his pocket, which made him very nervous.

The M1 Garand rifle is currently the most advanced semi-automatic rifle in the world. It is famous internationally because it can hold eight bullets at a time and has a large caliber, so it is commonly known as the "Big Eight."

After a busy period, all the members of the reconnaissance company were in place. Those who were quick changed their equipment, while those who were slow had nothing. Qin Zheng also got a watch from a dead soldier.

"As a scout, how can I be without a watch?"

Qin Zheng said to himself silently.

At this point, he also understood the cause of this small battle.

The two vehicles were supposed to be delivering supplies to the defenders on a certain high ground, but one of the vehicles broke down on the way and was discovered by three guerrillas. They waited patiently, and when the vehicle was repaired and the guards put away their guns and got in the vehicle, they launched an attack and injured two enemy soldiers.

However, their firepower was not strong enough, and the two sides began a tug-of-war.

Wang Huasheng said: "The car will stay where it is and wait for the troops behind to seize it. Let's set off quickly."

Qin Zheng was also helpless. They couldn't drive forward to scout. Taking the main road was too dangerous and would easily alert the enemy.

The People's Army soldiers took the supplies and left on their own. Just as the reconnaissance company set out again, a voice came from behind: "Company commander, there are new orders."

"What order?"

"The regiment headquarters has ordered that the rear guard become the vanguard, march day and night, and immediately turn to the northwest of Yunshan Mountain to snipe the enemy at Yingfeng Mountain."

This order changed the direction and method of the march.

The 348th Regiment naturally did not know that today, the Volunteer Army and the South Korean Army had already begun a formal confrontation.

The arrogant vanguard of the South Korean 6th Division placed 12 Mi-style howitzers in front to clear the way, and the infantry actually marched behind the artillery, and ended up running headlong into the ambush of the 118th Division.

Seeing that the Korean army's combat quality was so low, the commander of the 354th Regiment, Chu Chuanyu, unceremoniously commanded the 354th Regiment of the Volunteer Army to launch a fierce attack.

The gunners first destroyed the front and rear convoys of the Korean army, and the infantry were preparing to rush forward and launch a charge.

However, what the volunteers could not have imagined was that the more than 400 Korean soldiers had no will to resist. They abandoned all their vehicles and heavy equipment and turned around and ran away before the volunteers launched a charge.

In the end, the only people captured by the Volunteer Army were a few American military advisers who did not have time to escape, which made Zhu Chuanyu feel very uncomfortable.

Is it so difficult to destroy an enemy?

The fleeing soldiers told the story of how they were ambushed by the Volunteer Army, and the news of the Volunteer Army's entry into the Korean War also spread among the South Korean army.

However, the US military advisers of the 6th Division of the South Korean Army believed that the South Korean Army had a large number of American equipment and its firepower was several times stronger than that of the Volunteer Army, so there was no need to worry about the Volunteer Army's offensive.

As a result, the 6th Regiment of the 7th Division of the South Korean Army continued to move north and became the first unit to reach the Yalu River as expected.

However, the 6th Regiment of the 7th Division of the South Korean Army was also overwhelmed by the huge victory.

Not only did they arrogantly stand on the Yalu River and urinate on the Chinese side in provocation, but they also used guns and cannons to fire at Chinese territory.

When General Peng of the Volunteer Army learned of the rampant behavior of this Korean army unit, he was furious and immediately issued an order to the commander of the 118th Division of the Volunteer Army: "This 'mad dog unit' must be completely wiped out!"

At this time, the 118th Division of the Volunteer Army was ordered to encircle the 119th Regiment of the Korean Army in the Chushan Guchang area, the 120th Division guarded the area south of Wenjing, and the th Division guarded the area east of Wenjing, completely cutting off the South Korean army's way of survival.

The US military also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time and urgently dispatched the Eighth Army to the north for rescue.

The above is the reason why the regiment issued the above order.

The order was paramount, and Wang Huasheng could only say with regret: "It's a pity that these two cars can only be abandoned."

Qin Zheng quickly said, "Captain, since we have to march during the day, we can drive, which will be safer."

Wang Huasheng sighed helplessly: "Of course I know, but none of us can drive it."

This was also one of the reasons why the Volunteer Army was helpless. The soldiers had only seen cars, but most of them could not drive them.

During the entire Korean War, countless vehicles were destroyed by the US military because no one knew how to drive.

"I will."

"You really can?"

"Yes, I learned it from the driver in my father's factory."

“But there are two cars here.”

"Easy. I'll teach you now. It's easy to learn."

Without further ado, Qin Zheng started teaching on the spot. After all, there was no need to learn how to repair a car or how to reverse. All one had to do was learn how to step on the clutch, accelerator and brake. The bold and careful Shunzi got the driving rights for the second car.
