Volume 1: The First Battle Chapter 30 Beach Company
"Go ahead and say it!" Chief of Staff Tang laughed and nodded encouragingly.
Commander Deng and the others were probably too engrossed in their work and only then realized my presence, and they all looked in my direction.
"I think..." To be honest, I was a little nervous and a little regretful. Everyone in front of me was a soldier who had experienced many battles and made great achievements. If I made suggestions in front of them, wouldn't that be like showing off my knowledge in front of an expert?
"Comrade!" Commander Deng said angrily, "If you have something to say, just say it. What are you afraid of? Eat you? Are we all monsters?"
Everyone smiled knowingly, and the tense atmosphere in the cave eased.
"Then...then I'll tell you!" I touched my head embarrassedly, secretly hating myself in my heart. Why did I look like a child who had done something wrong in front of them!
"Just say what I tell you to say, don't be so fussy." Captain Chu whispered beside him.
"I think!" I straightened up to make my voice stronger. "I am leading the troops today. There is a reason why the American planes did not find us as enemies."
"What's the reason? You can't see clearly on the plane!" Political Commissar Zhang asked, but Division Commander Deng and Chief of Staff Tang did not say anything, but just nodded silently.
"It's not just that we can't see clearly from the plane, but more importantly, their army is too mixed." I continued, "The enemy's army includes not only South Korean and American troops, but also troops from many other countries. When so many countries fight together, there will inevitably be a series of problems such as confusion in intelligence, confusion in commands, confusion in coordination, and confusion in identification. These problems are exactly what our army can take advantage of!"
"That's right!" Chief of Staff Tang nodded and said, "Platoon Leader Cui did a great job of that today."
"So I was thinking..." I continued, "Can we use this to defeat Yunshan again?"
"You mean..." Political Commissar Zhang looked at me with a frown, while Commander Deng and Chief of Staff Tang's eyes lit up.
"What I mean is!" I cleared my dry throat and continued, "Can we send a company to pretend to be puppet troops, drive directly into Yunshan, and then attack them from the middle, with the help of both inside and outside forces!"
"Great! You have guts!" Commander Deng slapped the map and said, "You are smart and courageous. This is the fighting style of our revolutionary soldiers. I agree with this battle plan."
"I agree!" Chief of Staff Tang nodded and said, "Although there are certain risks, it is just like MacArthur's Incheon landing. It is a bet of five dollars on five hundred dollars. If we lose, we will lose a company. If we win, we can take Yunshan at the lowest cost."
"But which company should we send to carry out this mission?" Political Commissar Zhang said, "This company must be able to fight. Otherwise, even if they successfully sneak into Yunshan, they won't be able to play a big role. It's too dangerous. The whole company must be prepared to sacrifice."
"Division Commander, Political Commissar, Chief of Staff." At this time, Commander Chu became excited. He saluted and said, "Leave this mission to me. I will personally lead a company up there!"
"Your injuries!"
"Absolutely no problem!" Captain Chu patted his chest and said, "It's completely fine, please rest assured, Commander!"
Commander Deng and Chief of Staff Tang looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Okay, this mission is handed over to you, but remember, you must come back alive. If you are exposed outside the city, retreat immediately, don't charge in!"
"Yes!" Captain Chu smiled from ear to ear, saluted and answered loudly: "I guarantee to complete the mission!"
"etc!"
When Captain Chu and I were about to walk out, Chief of Staff Tang stopped us again.
"Old Chu!" the chief of staff said, "You are pretending to be Korean soldiers. It's best to find a soldier who can speak Korean fluently. Otherwise, you will be exposed if someone asks you."
"Don't worry, Commander!" Captain Chu was delighted when he heard this: "Platoon Leader Cui speaks Korean well, I'll take him with me!"
Ah! What what... I was stunned when I heard this. I thought that there were only about 30 people left in our company , and it would not be my turn. I didn't expect that there would be a chance for me. Now I really fully understand what it means to "Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought by oneself cannot be forgiven"!
Pah pah...what a shame!
Helmets, uniforms, boots, rifles, cars... all South Korean equipment. It's not difficult to collect more than 100 sets of South Korean military equipment until now. At worst, you can just exchange clothes with the captured prisoners. But the size...
Every volunteer soldier was malnourished and most of them were thin, so their clothes felt a little loose on their bodies, but the stains and blood stains on the clothes left over from the battles covered up this fact well.
At first glance, apart from the unique spirit, energy and vitality of the Volunteer Army, and the white towel around their necks (used to identify their own people and avoid accidental injuries), they really looked like a South Korean army that had retreated from the battlefield.
This time, Captain Chu led the First Company of the Second Battalion. The reason for choosing this company was not only because the company had not suffered much casualties, but also because this company had always fought bravely and strongly. It was said that this company had attacked Hainan Island and had used sailboats to attack Kuomintang warships.
And it was the planned beachhead company. Do you know what a beachhead company is? It was originally planned to liberate the first batch of troops to land on the beach to cover other troops landing on the beach...
The car bumped in the night towards Yunshan. The soldiers all stood in the car with serious expressions, not saying a word. The car tilted left and right without any effect on them. They were indeed the ace among aces, different from other troops, just like killing machines.
But I thought about it and felt that it was not right, so I handed a cigarette to Captain Xu who was standing next to me: "Comrade, have a cigarette."
"No!" Captain Xu replied coldly.
Captain Xu is called Xu Feng, he is the captain of this company. Everyone says that if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. I think this is true. Only a person as cold as Captain Xu can lead such a group of cold soldiers!
"Captain Xu." I tilted my helmet a little, pointed at the heroic soldiers beside me and said, "The soldiers who fled back after losing the battle are not so impressive!"
"Yeah!" Captain Xu nodded in understanding, took the cigarette and lit it.
"Everyone!" Captain Xu shouted a command, but after a long while, he still didn't know what order to give...
"Relax!" I came to the rescue of Captain Xu: "Comrades, imagine what the puppet troops you fought were like, imagine how cowardly they were, and you must become like them now!"
"You... come on, come on, why are you buttoning your clothes so tightly?"
"And you, don't carry your gun like you're on sentry duty, bend your waist a little !"
"You, you, you...have a piece of chewing gum."
In a short while, under the design of me, a wise and powerful stylist, the warrior became more stylish!
"Yunshan City is almost here, everyone get ready!" Captain Chu's voice came from a car behind: "Except for Platoon Leader Cui, everyone shut up. If you leak out and reveal your identity, you will be punished according to revolutionary discipline!"
