Chapter 26 The US Army

It was not until the sunrise in the early morning, and the sky was just a little bright, and a few stars were still vaguely scattered in the deep and light daytime sky. The weeds were trembling slightly on the cold snow, and were shrouded in the mysterious Bo Ming everywhere.

The sound of gunfires was sometimes far and sometimes near, and occasionally a few shells fell not far away and raised dust, but this did not attract the slightest attention of the soldiers. They had long been used to such an environment, and they built air-raid shelters on their own as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the cannons stopped and the soldiers stopped their hands and stood up.

"The Americans are coming up!" The old squad leader glanced at the empty highway, then lowered his waist and tossed his air-raid shelter.

"Comrades, move quickly!" Company Commander Zhang ordered: "The Americans are here, and they have all made their own air-raid shelters firmly! Put more wood, the Americans' heavy artillery is not a joke!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and the cat lowered his waist and accelerated his air-raid shelter.

At this time, a rare moment of silence appeared around. The soldiers used bayonets to cut small wooden sticks and coughed. If they saw it, they would think that this position was a wooden workshop.

I touched my ears and listened to the sound of gunfire all day long. Even when I was sleeping, I fell asleep at the sound of gunfire. At this time, I suddenly became quiet and made me feel a little uncomfortable, and I felt that there was something wrong with my ears for a while.

This reminds me of an ancient story, which is a story that says that there is a very clean person who loves cleaning. When he is caught and thrown into a dirty place, he is not used to cleaning. After a while, when he is rescued, he is not used to cleaning.

I put a cut wooden stick into the air-raid shelter, but I was worried that I would not get used to days without gunfire in the future, or that if I could live after the war or return to modern times, would I not be used to days without killing people?

With a "Woo...", an airplane flew over the soldiers without warning.

"Divine! The American devils are coming!"

“Be ready for battle!”

The soldiers soon realized something and grabbed the rifles and stood on the trenches. Looking down the curved road, the US military tanks appeared one by one at the corner of the road. There were eight vehicles in total, seven vehicles, and one "Xiafei" and one "Sheerman". Each tank was followed by more than a dozen infantry soldiers, each wearing helmets and holding guns, and the muzzles were walking leisurely downwards.

The tank was slowly driving on the road, and the Sherman tank turret turned from time to time to observe the surrounding environment.

It is said that the Sherman tank had several leading technologies during World War II, one of which was that the turret would take less than ten seconds to rotate for a week, and it was also the only tank equipped with a vertical cannon stabilizer in World War II, which could fire while moving. Now it was a bit worthy of its reputation when it was rotating the turret flexibly. Compared to that "Xiafei" tank seemed much more rigid.

Fortunately, most of them were "Xiafei" light tanks, so I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. If the eight tanks in front of me were all replaced by "Penxing", they would become mobile turrets that were in front of us and could not be driven away. It would undoubtedly pose a great threat to us who lacked anti-tank weapons. Now it is just a light tank that the volunteers are used to fighting and a medium-sized tank with not much firepower, which is still acceptable!

"Woo..." At this time, there was another sound of motor from behind. I looked at the US military convoys that appeared behind me with some surprise. First, there were several cars full of US troops, followed by several gray jeeps, and behind them were various military vehicles that were endless. Some cars were dragging terrifying large-caliber field guns.

The US military would not have wanted to pass through our defense zone like this! I was surprised to see this scene. How could they break through so recklessly? Just by 8 tanks and a company of infantry as the vanguard, I wanted to pass through our defense zone? I really regarded us as the Indians!

But I thought about it again that this may be the reason why the enemy reconnaissance plane did not find us. I remembered that when the reconnaissance plane flew over our heads just now, the soldiers were all busy in the trenches to build air raid shelters, and some were even in air raid shelters. Under this situation, when the light was not very good in the morning, it was normal for the US military aircraft to not find us building fortifications.

Sometimes it is not a good thing to over-believe and rely on modern equipment.

Tanks drove past one after another, and the roar of the engine and the smell of gasoline quickly filled the entire valley.

I couldn't help but move the rifle in my hand, only feeling a little dry mouth and a stuffy chest. The American soldiers I saw on TV and movies before, but I didn't expect that they would really appear in front of me now. These fully armed American soldiers are still a bit powerful. Although the battle has not started yet, the expressions on their faces, the uniform equipment, and the seemingly relaxed and leisurely movements will make people feel an invisible pressure.

This may be the so-called military power! Although I had contacted American soldiers before, I couldn’t see clearly at night at that time. Now, when I saw the US troops passing by in an orderly manner during the day, it felt really different.

This kind of pressure cannot be seen or felt by the puppet army. This should be said to be the difference between soldiers and people holding guns.

Swish swish swish swish... At this time, the vanguard troops of US tanks and infantry mixed up to the road closest to us, and deer-skinned military boots creaked in the snow. The sky became brighter and brighter, and we could even see the fatigue on the faces of the American soldiers and the beards under the steel helmets.

In fact, I also know that the quality of the US military is not very good. After the end of World War II, the United States disarmament in order to reduce spending, and laid off its original 12.5 million troops to less than 600,000 troops, and the 600,000 troops were scattered all over the world.

When the Korean War broke out, the US military rushed to increase its troops. Most of them were young men who had never fought a war and were determined to make meritorious deeds. The other was veterans who had participated in World War II. Although they had participated in World War II, they had lived a happy life at home for five years without training. Now they were willing to go back to the battlefield. Of course, there were also some veterans who had been serving, such as the first Smith Task Force that took place in North Korea, but the number of such veterans was too small.
