Chapter 146: Defence along the river

After a while, even breathing sounds came from beside me. I haven't had a good rest for a few days, and my eyelids fell down as soon as I lay down, but I kept reminding myself that the enemies were sleeping around me, so I pinched my fingers hard and used the pain to keep myself awake.

For several days, the volunteers have been chasing the puppet army without sleep, and the puppet army has fled day and night. They probably can't rest. At this time, they are tired and sleepy. Soon, snoring sounds come from the house.

I knew it was time to start the snoring, but when I heard it carefully, I felt something was wrong. The one who snoring the loudest was the guy sleeping on my left hand, and I clearly remember that Hu Zi was sleeping in this position.

Mom! I couldn't help but curse, I asked you to sneak in to kill the puppet army! You're so happy, I'm asleep here! You're not worried that you'll be pushed by these puppet army when you wake up the next morning?

I pushed Hu Zi sleeping next to me, and there was no movement...

After pushing again, he turned around and continued to sleep, and his snoring was even louder...

I couldn't help but feel angry, covering his mouth with one hand and punching him hard with the other.

Unexpectedly, a big hand with force squeezing my neck. The unbearable suffocation made me dizzy. I couldn't help but think in my heart that it was going to be bad. Hu Zi woke up from a dream and was about to twist his neck under the conditioned reflex. Now this guy was going to twist his head off in a daze. Fortunately, after a while, Hu Zi seemed to react and slowly loosened me.

My throat felt like itchy and itchy, but in order not to wake up the puppet army, I had to endure it desperately. After a while, I eased up and tried my best to win over Hu Zi's middle finger. Unfortunately, the room was so dark that nothing could be seen.

I shook my head helplessly to make myself more awake, then reached out and patted Hu Zi's shoulder twice before gently hitting it with my fist. This is the code we agreed to do. Hu Zi would soon touch one side, and I pulled out Jun Zha to touch the other side. I dare not twist the enemy's neck with bare hands like Hu Zi. I am not good at this, and maybe I will backfire at that time, so I chose Jun Zha, a more stupid method.

Following the sound of his breath, I found a puppet army and spent some time to judge his sleeping position. Then I suddenly covered his mouth and stabbed into his heart. The puppet army was shocked as if he was frightened in a dream. Then he twitched a few more times and stopped moving again. At this time, I had heard two slight sounds of bone breaking coming from the direction of Hu Zi.

It seems that it is really beneficial to twist people's necks, which are both convenient and fast. Unlike me, I still have to spend time judging the position of the enemy's heart. If I make a wrong judgment, I will make trouble...

He poked down one after another. After poking four, he finally hit the wall. Hu Zi also sent a secret code in the dark, letting me know that he had also "twisted".

A flashlight was touched on a corpse, and turned it on the pit, all of which were corpses and blood. The puppet soldiers whose neck was twisted by a tiger were even more terrifying. Some heads were facing the back, while others were hanging on their chests, like zombies in the American horror blockbuster Resident Evil. Looking at them, my neck was itchy. Thinking that I almost became like them just now, I couldn't help but feel cold.

After counting, Hu Zi killed seven in this moment, almost twice as much as mine. It seems that when will I really have to learn this skill from Hu Zi?

At this moment, there was a sudden sound, and a puppet army jumped out of the corner of the wall, holding us with a gun and shouting in Korean: "Don't move! Who are you..."

Before he could finish his words, the military spear in my hand had already escaped. With a "puff" sound, the puppet army collapsed to the ground. I shone the flashlight, and even I couldn't believe it. I unconsciously threw the military spear in my hand and hit him in the throat.

"Hey! I didn't expect you to have this trick!" Hu Zi couldn't help but be amazed at the military sect that hit the puppet army's throat.

I was also a little incredible. If it were broad daylight, there was nothing strange about hitting the enemy at such a close distance. Many volunteer soldiers could do it. But at night, I knew very well that I had never seen where the puppet army was. I judged his position based on the voice of the puppet army, and then the baton in my hand came out...

We didn't have time to think about it carefully, and we didn't dare to be careless. We checked the room again with a flashlight and confirmed that there were no living people except us. Hu Zi and I breathed a sigh of relief and opened the wooden door with a creak. The sentry outside the house had been solved by Ren Feng and the others. As soon as I opened the door, they all held their guns at the door. When we saw that it was us, we quickly put them down.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" Ren Fengyou ran up to report: "I have searched this village just now, and there is nothing except a broken ship! There is no arms, no food..."

"What?" I couldn't help but feel disappointed when I heard this. I spent so much effort, but I didn't expect that it would be in vain in the end.

"I think these soldiers are just here to sleep lazyly!" Hu Zi smiled and said, "They can have a good sleep now!"

The soldiers also let out a low laugh, but I was the only one who shook his head and said, "If other puppet soldiers were lazy to sleep, I still believe that these were soldiers from the puppet army's capital division..."

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui is right!" Park Chung-sun stood on my side this time: "The military discipline of the puppet army capital division is strict. If it is one, two soldiers may be absent, but more than a dozen people will be absent together. This is unlikely. They must have some tasks and guard something here!"

Park Chung-sun is a soldier of the People's Army and has a certain understanding of the South Korean Capital Division. What he said is also worthy of, so I became more determined in my mind.

But what are they guarding? I shine the flashlight in my hand towards the river, which is exactly the same as Ren Feng said, there is nothing. There is no bridge or boat, only turbid river water is jumping up and down. But just when I was about to turn my attention to other places, the waves in the river caught my attention, and I couldn't help but shine the light of the flashlight on the river again...

It was a row of very regular waves. They were roughly arranged in a straight line, from one side of the river to the other side of the river, like a cloth belt leading the two sides of the North Han River!

What was in the water? This was my first reaction. So without saying a word, I took off my shoes and walked towards the very regular wave. When my feet stepped into a hard and flat cement board that touched the river, I couldn't help but be overjoyed and finally understood what the puppet troops were guarding - this was an underwater bridge!

"Hey! There are such fresh things!" Hu Zi also took off his shoes and stepped into the water. After walking for a while, he laughed and said, "This puppet army is not lazy. It can build such a hidden bridge. The river water has just lost its calves and is more than two meters wide. The car can drive it!"

"This was not built by the puppet army!" Park Chung-sun looked at the bridge and shook his head and explained: "Only our army can use this hidden underwater bridge. This is to prevent the bombing of enemy planes. It is probably because our army was temporarily built to transport things when we attacked. It was just that the puppet army discovered it when retreating. They just sent troops to guard here!"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but praise Park Jung-sun's analysis was still very reasonable. It seemed that he was still a little smart. However, no matter who built it, the bridge fell in my hands now, so the comrades in the 180th Division would not need to support the wire to cross the river.

"Huzi!" Thinking of this, I quickly ordered: "Send a few smart warriors to find the comrades of the 180th Division and bring them here!"

"Yes!" Hu Zi responded and quickly went to make arrangements.

I ordered all the volunteer soldiers to hide in the bungalows in the village, and then casually called more than a dozen soldiers to change into the military uniforms of the puppet army, pretending to be puppet army and staying in the house to sleep. But the warding thing was to be done by Park Chung-sun, two people who could speak Korean.

The facts proved that my arrangements were also very necessary, because not long after, a patrol of the puppet army passed by here to ask about the situation. It was not the first time Park Jung-sun had dealt with the puppet army. He was very familiar with the military salutes and military terms of the puppet army, so he got through without any danger.

At this time, I couldn't help but feel sweaty secretly. I knew that even speaking fluent Korean was useless, because until now I knew how the puppet army should salute, hold a rifle, and answer...

"Thanks to you!" After the puppet army's patrol left, I breathed a sigh of relief and said to Park Chung-sun: "If you weren't here, we would have been showing our strength now!"

"No! Deputy Battalion Commander Choi!" Park Jung-sun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It should be said that it is thanks to you! If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for our troops to achieve such great results!"

After a pause, Park Chung-sun continued, "I was sent to Captain Chu ten days ago. I have heard comrades talk about you very early, and they talked you very well. To be honest, I didn't believe this at the beginning, but now I believe it!"

"Um!" I couldn't help laughing when I heard this, "You'd better not believe it. They must say that my feet are smelly!"

Upon hearing this, Park Jung-sun couldn't help laughing. After a while, he said with some shame: "A large part of the reason why he didn't believe in you at the beginning was because he didn't believe in the combat effectiveness of the volunteer army, so I just thought that those were just your bragging."

"Um!" Hearing this, I remembered the commander of the People's Army I met a few days ago. Now I have forgotten his name, as if he is... Jin Chuanchang! He also looked down on our volunteer army, so I couldn't help but ask curiously: "I have been wondering, why do you look down on our volunteer army? As soon as we entered the North Korea, we won several great victories?"

"I'm ashamed!" Park Chung-sun smiled bitterly and said, "There are indeed some people in the People's Army who look down on the Volunteer Army. That's because your clothes are not unified and your equipment are not unified, so they don't believe that you have any combat effectiveness. Even if you win a few big victories, these people can explain it as if you have a large number of people and caught the US military off guard! I used to be one of these people, and I have always believed that the People's Army is better than you. But later, I found that the People's Army was running away on the battlefield..."

Speaking of this, Park Jung-sun couldn't help but shake his head and hold his mouth shut.

I know he remembered the incident where Jin Chuanchang led his troops to leave the volunteer army and escaped alone a few days ago. From his perspective, it was indeed painful to admit this fact.

After pausing for a while, Park Chung-sun continued, "I have to believe the facts before me. With the days of the Volunteer Army and the days of you, I have seen your marksmanship, you have seen your tank shooting, and you have also seen your courage and wit. In just a few days, the two teams of tanks have allowed you to kill them without any effort..."

"It can't be said to be effortless." I couldn't help but sigh: "The three of us companies used to have more than 600 people, but now there are only more than 100 people left."

"I know this!" Park Chung-sun nodded: "But the results you have achieved far exceed the losses. First, they repelled the siege of the capital division of the puppet army several times your troops. You must know that this is enough to be proud of in our People's Army. Then you blow up more than twenty tanks of the 1st US Marine Division at the cost of one death and one injury, and then blew up the entire road and buried more than twenty "Penxing" of the US military alive. Such results are really insignificant compared to your casualties..."

"Comrade Park Jung-sun!" I interrupted him: "I don't like killing people. Even if the enemy is killed, I don't like it, and I don't care about any results. The reason why I killed them was to kill fewer comrades and fewer comrades. Everything I did was to allow the soldiers to leave the battlefield alive. So for me, no matter how great the result was, it would not be able to get the lives of comrades!"

"Um!" Park Jung-sun looked at me with a little surprise and stopped saying anything.

I know he does not agree or understand what I say. In fact, even the volunteer soldiers cannot understand what I say. Because they are fighting for a certain spirit and a certain goal, killing the enemy, but I am not. Everything I do is to allow more volunteer soldiers to return to their motherland alive. This may be the difference between me who comes from the modern era and who live in the war years!

Before we could speak one thing, we lost our joy, and a silence appeared in the darkness.

In the team, I and Park Chung-sun could speak Korean, so we were the only ones standing guard and exhaling the air. Even if the "pseudo-army" sleeping in the house wanted to come out to change the guards with us, I was helplessly dismissed. Who told me to learn Korean without any trouble? The so-called "powerful people work harder than others."

But these are not counting. What's even more annoying is that God seems to be doing something against us. With a few lightning bolts that ripped the sky and a few muffled thunder, it started to rain heavily in the sky. Although we put on the raincoats in the backpack of the puppet army, we quickly felt wet again when we stood in the rain. We had just changed into dry clothes for a while...

"Deputy Battalion Commander Choi!" Just as I leaned against the tree and was a little confused, Park Jung-sun touched me and whispered to the bushes in front of me: "There is something!"

I couldn't help but feel shocked, turned around and lay behind the tree and raised the rifle in my hand and looked forward. There was a dark patch of black in front of me. Only when a few lightning flashed across the sky could I vaguely see the black shadows lying on the bushes slowly moving forward. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people.

When I was secretly surprised, a few regular insect sounds suddenly came from the front. I couldn't help but feel happy. This was the code I had agreed with the correspondent who sent out to find the 180th Division. The unit in front was the 180th Division's fault. Sure enough, after I heard a few insect sounds back, a few black shadows trotted towards me.

"Is it Deputy Battalion Commander Cui?" One of the black shadows asked.

"It's Captain Pang!" I heard the voice of Captain Pang, and I couldn't help but meet it in three steps.

"Good boy, you!" Commander Pang punched me hard as soon as he saw me: "I heard from the correspondent about you, and I thought you were really retreating! I didn't expect you to have another big fight on the Hongtian Highway. Commander Zheng was still wondering just now! We received a telegram saying that the US military on the right wing was blocked by an unknown force on the Hongtian Highway. We were still thinking about who was able to block the two divisions of the US military with such ability. It turned out to be you?"

"What? Two divisions?" I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this. I only knew that there must be a large number of US troops following the "Tank Commando", but I didn't expect that there were so many two divisions.

"Don't you know yet?" Commander Pang laughed and said, "It was from the Second American Division and the 24th American Division. If you hadn't blocked their way and let them penetrate all the way to Zhaoyang River, the consequences would be unimaginable. You had almost saved tens of thousands of comrades, including our 180th Division! However, the situation of our division is still not optimistic, because the US troops who reconnaissed these two divisions soon abandoned their cars and walked. At this time, I'm afraid they were already ahead of us!"

"Well! Then don't waste your time anymore, cross the river quickly!" I couldn't help but say anxiously when I heard this, "By the way, where are the Commander Zheng and the others?"

"They will come soon!" Commander Pang replied: "Teacher Zheng ordered us to cross the river and occupy favorable terrain first, and then set up defenses along the river..."

"What? Arrange the defense along the river?" Although I had known this order in modern information, I was still helpless when I encountered it: "Captain Pang, now there are puppet troops everywhere around the Beihan River, and it is a puppet capital division with great combat effectiveness. If we set up the defense along the river, we will be held back by the puppet capital division, and then the US military will catch up... Then we will be surrounded!"

"There is no way!" Captain Pang smiled bitterly and said, "The superior's order requires us to set up defenses along the river to protect the retreat!"
