Chapter 136: Chase

When I ran into the trench, my feet were weak, and I sat down in the mud and water with my body weak, and I kept breathing heavily. The two soldiers quickly ran to me to check my injuries, but Hu Zi still grinned with a bloody mouth and laughed: "It's so good to kill me!"

I counted the number of survivors, including Hu Zi and I, only twenty-one. Then I looked at the blood-stained military stings on the rifle. Not only were there gaps everywhere, but the whole was deformed.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui..." Zhao Yongxin ran to me and smiled bitterly: "Why did you come to me? We don't have bullets and we have to go up to fight for bayonets!"

"Ah? Do you want to do it again?" I was stunned when I heard this.

"I'm afraid of him!" Hu Zi said indifferently: "We will kill Captain Chu again..."

"Huzi!" I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this: "We can't lose this position. Once we lose Captain Chu, it will be dangerous!"

"That's it!" Zhao Yongxin nodded and said, "If the enemy takes this position down, the machine guns and mortars will be suppressed by Captain Chu and the others!"

"Well! Then let's fight all those damn people!" Hu Zi stood up with a rifle.

Then, as if responding to us, the puppet army launched an attack on our high ground.

These bitches don't give us a chance to rest at all, and I couldn't help but curse in my heart. The puppet army occupied a large number of people and divided them into several groups to launch attacks on the volunteers, with only a few minutes of time gaps in between. So although the war was not long, our physical strength was seriously overdrawn...

Perhaps the puppet army realized that they had not had much time, or perhaps they knew that we had no bullets, so this time they even saved the artillery preparations they had used to before the attack, and only sent more than 3,000 people to charge at the three high grounds that our army was stationed at the same time.

Now the two companies have only more than one hundred soldiers. Although the number is small, the soldiers are not afraid at all. They support each other and stand up, holding the rain above their heads, looking at the dense puppet troops surrounding them, holding the rifles tightly in their hands, and then shouting: "For the New China! For Chairman Mao! Kill..."

More than a hundred volunteer soldiers tried their last bit of strength like crazy, rushing towards the puppet soldiers with the determination to die. Scattered gunfires and explosions immediately sounded, followed by the bayonets, the roars of soldiers and the screams of the enemy.

I also joined the enemy group with the soldiers, and there were enemies wearing raincoats everywhere. To a certain extent, the enemy's raincoat might have helped the Volunteer Army, because the raincoat not only restricts their movements, but also makes them unable to let go. The Volunteer Army was already covered in mud and water, so they could roll and fight in the mud and water, but the puppet army was not. They had to go from dry and clean to mud and water, and they were still a little resistant in their subconscious. In addition, the Volunteer Army had a geographical advantage, so they seemed as if they were as sharp as a tiger going down the mountain in the fight.

With a "collapse!", I opened a bayonet that stabbed me, and then knocked my opponent to the ground with a thunderous force. I could almost feel the sound of his nose bone shattering under the buttstock, but I was still not in a hurry to make a knife on this opponent, so I had to hurry to deal with another puppet army howling and rushing towards me.

There were too many enemies, and the soldiers quickly fell into a tough battle. The soldiers beside them fell one by one, and the figures of the volunteers were fewer and fewer, while the enemies were more and more. What's even more terrifying was that the enemy behind me also crossed the high ground and surrounded me with bayonets. I couldn't help but feel cold in my heart, thinking that this big sigh was the time for me to die!

I suddenly missed the grenade a little, because rather than being stabbed by the enemy a few times and died slowly, it would be better to rush into the enemy group with a grenade and die happily! So if I had a grenade on my body at this moment, I would hold it and rush towards the enemy without hesitation.

Fortunately, I didn't...

At this moment of uniformity, a loud military call suddenly sounded around, and countless volunteer soldiers emerged from the hillsides, roads, forests and rivers to the north. They were seen everywhere wherever they could go.

With a burst of dense gunfire and explosions, the puppet army quickly collapsed. Those who were far away ran away. Those who were close to us or were fighting bayonets with us dropped their rifles and knelt on the ground and raised their hands. In an instant, the fields were filled with puppet soldiers rushing around on the hillside. The volunteers were chasing while shooting. The puppet soldiers were constantly knocked down on the way to escape, and the puppet soldiers kept raising their hands...

"Pu bang..." I didn't care about the puppet troops kneeling in front of me who surrendered with guns with their hands, and sat down in the mud. At this time, they just raised the bayonet and stabbed me on their bodies and could easily end my life, but I didn't care about that much. I no longer have any strength. If they wanted to kill me at this time, it would be almost as simple as killing an ant.

I noticed that they were winking each other, as if they were trying to do something small, but I didn't care. I even raised my head and exposed my neck in front of them, letting the rain wash over my head and blood on my face to the fullest.

After a while, several soldiers came up and took away the puppet soldiers kneeling in front of us. Then Captain Chu, who was also covered in blood, appeared in front of me. He looked not much better than us. He was holding a Tokarev pistol in his hand. There seemed to be several gun holes on the cotton coat, revealing the white cotton wool inside.

"Captain!" As soon as the soldiers saw Captain Chu, they struggled to stand up, but Captain Chu quickly waved his hand to stop it, and then sat heavily beside me without caring about the mud and water on the ground.

"You boy..." Captain Chu's words made me stunned for a moment. This was the first time he called someone "boy", so I almost couldn't believe that he was talking to me.

When I looked at him in confusion, he saw him staring blankly at the piles of corpses in front of the two high grounds, and said to himself: "You two companies have killed more enemies than our entire group!"

"Captain!" At this time, I finally confirmed that Captain Chu was talking to me. I couldn't help but smile bitterly and replied weakly: "There are many enemies killed, but our soldiers... are only thirty left!"

Captain Chu nodded heavily, said nothing, just patted my shoulder hard and left.

"All collection!"

After resting in the rain for less than half an hour, the order to gather came from the top, so I had to take the soldiers slowly to walk down the mountain.

"Comrades!" Seeing that everyone was here, Political Commissar Chen Ye sorted out his cotton clothes and said, "The comrades fought very well in this battle, especially the first and second companies of the Third Battalion. They took the initiative to attack under the command of Deputy Battalion Commander Cui, occupied a favorable geographical location, restrained the enemy's large number of troops, and played an important role in this battle! Their spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and fighting is worthy of our learning! They are the pride of our regiment, the pride of the 118th Division, and the pride of the 40th Army!"

"Okay!" The soldiers of the entire regiment turned their eyes to our camp and applauded enthusiastically. The soldiers and I couldn't help but stand up and stand up a little straight, and an indescribable sense of pride rose in our hearts.

"Comrades..." At this time, Captain Chu said again: "Time is tight, let's talk short. After the superiors knew that we had successfully completed the task, they gave our regiment great praise and affirmation. However, the superiors also pointed out that the puppet army still has a large number of troops running around. We cannot be satisfied with the victory of this battle, but should continue to expand the results and continue to pursue the enemy!"

"Okay!" The soldiers raised their guns and responded with a loud bang. Even the soldiers who were about to collapse who were fighting with me just now did not hesitate at all.

"Captain Chu! We have no bullets!" Maybe I was a disharmonious voice, but I still had to raise the difficulties in reality: "And there is no food, even the bayonet is bent, so I will chase the enemy in this way..."

"Don't worry!" Captain Chu nodded to me and said confidently: "The comrades of the 27th Army have considered this for us. In the battle just now, they seized a batch of weapons, ammunition and food. The superiors instructed us to give priority to supplement our regiment. After getting the equipment, the comrades set off immediately. Let's fight the puppet army!"

"Go to fight the puppet army! Go to fight the puppet army!" The soldiers held up their guns and shouted, but I was the only one who sighed in my heart: the deeper they penetrated, the further they chased them, and the more difficult it would be to retreat. The soldiers didn't know that behind these victories, what awaited us was the heaviest loss in the history of the Volunteers!

After changing to a military baton, receiving more than twenty magazines and a few bread, he dragged his tired legs and stepped on the mud and water all over the ground and continued to pursue the puppet army southward.

North Korea has entered the rainy season in May. The fifth battle choice started at this time. I am afraid the General Command has spent some time thinking: the rainy season weakened the power of the enemy's modern equipment, the planes were restricted by the weather, and the movement of tanks and armored vehicles also increased the difficulties; the rain covered our army's actions, allowing our army to march during the day to pursue victory.

However, those who have not really come to this battlefield cannot understand the hardships of pursuing the enemy in the rain and mud. Not to mention the cold weather, the cotton coat soaked in the rain is big and heavy, which requires us to lift our feet, let alone marching on the muddy road.

Some soldiers simply took off their already burdened cotton coats and trousers, but the cold rain would soon make them unable to stand it. From time to time, several enemy planes flew by, and the soldiers slapped in the mud with a loud bang. After a while, they ran forward again after the alarm was lifted!

Everyone was covered in mud and sweat. Often, while running, a comrade fell down with a buzz, foaming at the mouth and unconscious. Several people quickly helped him to the side of the road for first aid.

Interestingly, we also met a Korean People's Army anti-aircraft artillery corps on the road. They were all female soldiers around 20 years old, and the officers were all female, female lieutenant and female captain. I also saw a female colonel standing in the rain in a straight military uniform, which was majestic.

"Hey! The North Korean women are so amazing!" Hu Zi was so happy when he looked at it: "This female soldier has also gone to the battlefield to shoot cannons! And there are so many officials!"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said nothing. Although our volunteer army also has female soldiers, they are basically hygienists and art troupes. However, the People's Army asked female soldiers to do such physical work as using anti-aircraft guns to hit planes, which was really due to the lack of male soldiers.

"Yes! Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Zhao Yongxin looked at the female colonel and asked: "Look at the rank of that female officer, she should be a lieutenant colonel!"

"It's the colonel!" I replied weakly. Now I feel tired even if I say a few more words.

"Wow, Colonel!" The soldiers couldn't help but become interested and asked one after another: "What kind of length should it be?"

"At least it should be a regiment commander!" I still have a certain understanding of the Soviet army's rank system. A colonel should be a regiment commander or division commander.

"Wow, leader, female leader!" the soldiers shouted in surprise again. In their eyes, it was unimaginable that a woman could become leader.

At this time, when the group of female soldiers were passing a mountain pass, a wheel of an anti-aircraft cannon was stuck in a crack in the stone. The female soldiers shouted slogans and raised and pushed, and their sharp voices added to the passing army.

"Huzi, go and help them! Are you strong?" Zhao Yongxin joked.

"I, I won't go!" Hu Zi replied a little embarrassedly: "If I go, then I'd rather salute the North Korean female colonel!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing with a coaxing sound.

In the end, Captain Chu sent a squad to help them eliminate obstacles, which made the anti-aircraft artillery car go back on the road.

"Comrade, thank you!"

"Comrade, kill a few more puppet troops!"

...

The group of female soldiers waved their hands and chirped at us. Although the soldiers couldn't understand what they were saying, they all waved at them happily.

Our army marched south in the rain, drinking a few sips of water when they encountered a river, and eating a few sips of bread when they were hungry. In this way, we kept chasing the puppet army, and sometimes we could catch up with several puppet army units. But what made the soldiers very depressed was that although we successfully broke through the enemy's front and surrounded the enemy in a circle, the puppet army quickly ordered the entire army to disband, leaving all the heavy equipment, an armored vehicle, cannon, and truck, so that the officers and soldiers could find a way out.

Only then did I realize that the puppet army was also difficult to fight, and the difficulty was that it was impossible to fight!

As our powerful army surrounded and intercepted, they quickly broke into pieces, and with their familiarity with the forest terrain, they scattered and drilled into the dense forest and deep mountains. This not only allowed them to escape, but occasionally they could also come out of the forest to cause some trouble for our army.

The central part of Korea is full of mountains and forests. When the enemy troops are scattered, our army will lose its target. It is not easy to search and sort out the large area of ​​dense forests and peaks. News constantly coming from the front said that there were fewer enemy troops annihilated in the entire regiment and battalion, but many scattered soldiers and raiders captured.

This kind of tactic is really a rare "tactic" in the world! But this tactic is really a bit "successful". Because we seem to be unable to annihilate the enemy's living forces in large quantities, allowing them to preserve their strength. In fact, in modern information, I know that when our army on the Eastern Front achieved a comprehensive victory, it only encircled and annihilated two puppet army divisions and defeated two divisions, and only wiped out more than 20,000 enemies in total. This result is always a bit unsatisfactory for the battle that surrounded two puppet army's corps with nearly 100,000 people.

Along the way, there were cars and equipment discarded by the puppet troops. Since the bullets were not available, most of the soldiers' weapons gradually turned into m1 rifles. Some soldiers holding Su-style submachine guns, and machine guns were reluctant to throw away the guns in their hands, so many soldiers carried two and three guns on their backs.

It is even more difficult to march at night. Visibility is extremely low on rainy nights. It can be said that it is impossible to see five fingers. Because of the concern that the enemy's reconnaissance planes will attract large-scale bombings, the troops can only advance in the dark. Occasionally, a soldier can't help but light a flashlight, which will immediately attract scolding.

The soldiers touched the backpacks and bullet bags of the people in front of them, and stumbled forward in a row. They could not see which way they were walking, nor did they know which direction they were walking. They went up and down, and left and right. No one knew whether they were walking on the mountain or on the road. From time to time, they heard the soldiers' wrestling, cursing and complaining, and hummingly shouting.

Occasionally, several "Black Widow" night flight planes fly overhead, and the night flight lights under the wings flash like meteors. "Black Widow" is a reconnaissance aircraft equipped with night vision equipment in the US military. Because its fuselage is black, the buzzing sound made by flying in the sky is like a widow crying in the grave, so the soldiers call it "Black Widow".

Whenever the "Black Widow" buzzed over our heads, a low command would come from above: "Don't smoke, be careful to cover it!"

Damn! I couldn't help but complain. If anyone can smoke on a rainy day, it's really a skill. It's easy to cover it up. It's just a little bite into the mud. Although it's wet, cold and smelly, my eyelids still fight when I'm extremely sleepy, but I don't dare to take a nap, because once I fall asleep, I'm afraid I won't know when the troops leave in this dark night.

Finally, it was almost dawn, and the order to rest on the spot came from the front. I couldn't help but feel relieved. I touched a stone without mud in the dark, and lie on it and then fell asleep.
Chapter completed!
