Chapter 8 Huishanjin

Huishanjin, a small town on the Yalu River, can be seen from a high place, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Northeast China across the river. However, it is more appropriate to say that it is a small town, because it is just a few dozen wooden houses built sparsely on a piece of open space at the foot of the mountains. The people had long since moved under the persuasion of the volunteers. Several windows that had forgotten to close were brought to a loud breeze by the cold wind, and the broken bamboo blue rolled lazily on the snow, and the traces left behind were soon covered by the new snow.

But such a depressing small village is destined to become a world-famous village tonight, because it will soon become the farthest place for the US military to go, and the only time to reach the Sino-North Korea border.

Since using my suggestion, even Walker was suspicious, he really thought that the number of volunteer soldiers was not large, or that they were really going to exit the battlefield because they were not supplied with food and ammunition. So they rushed to the Yalu River more and more with confidence, especially the armored troops were leading the way, moving forward day and night.

This made us, a team that lured the enemy into the depths. Because the enemy following us advanced too fast, we could only march day and night. Later, we really ran forward like we were chased by the enemy and ran away. So we only ran to the Yalu River for three days and two nights.

For this, I was once again scolded by Captain Chu with a grievance: "You boy is also applying this medicine too hard. Either you blow the enemy up and lie down with just a grenade, or you let them drive us like a duck... You are a little bit sensible!"

My God! I couldn't help but scream a hundred unjustly in my heart. If I could make the reactionaries as fast as possible, and as slow as possible, then I wouldn't be a god yet!

As soon as Huishanjin, who was by the Yalu River, had time to rest, we received an order: "Build a position on the spot and prepare to fight the enemy!"

——It’s time to take action.

My comrades and I were lying in a trench on a hill next to the village, and we couldn't help but feel mixed feelings because on this hill we could see our motherland.

It’s just that there is a river across it. Under the heavy snow like goose feathers, the scenery on this side of the river is no different from the other side of the river. They are all white, but in our hearts and eyes, it is so different.

On the river side, the snow from the sky seems to be cold, but on the river side, the snowflakes are a kind of warmth, a kind of warmth, and a beautiful scenery...

When the troops first arrived at the Yalu River, the volunteer soldiers who had run day and night for several days and night were also tired. Many soldiers stood by the river and looked at the other side, but were unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Did you miss home?" Company Commander Zhang asked in a low voice.

"think!"

"think!"

...

The comrades nodded one after another. In fact, Company Commander Zhang's words were redundant. Since the soldiers came to this town, their eyes had never left the direction of their motherland. Even if some places were blocked by mountains and could not be seen, they had never lowered their heads even when building fortifications...

"I think so too!" Company Commander Zhang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to his comrades, and then said heavily: "Although he has only been away for more than half a month, he feels different from the war before! I have been thinking about what is wrong with this. You said that we have been fighting for more than ten years and we are considered veterans! Why do we miss home after fighting for more than ten days? When we get here, we understand!"

Company Commander Zhang looked across the river, spit out a long smoke ring and continued, "We Chinese people pay the most attention to returning home, but here..."

The soldiers were all silent, just staring at the other side of the river. Only then did I realize more deeply what the volunteers were suffering. The People's Liberation Army soldiers have always been buried wherever they died. If they were fighting in their own country, they would not be afraid. However, in this foreign country, it means that after their sacrifice, their families might not even be able to find the monument for worship.

"Comrades!" At this time, Company Commander Zhang threw the cigarette butt hard, stood up and said, "The other side of the river is our motherland, our people, and our land. We suffer here and we suffer here, and we bleed and sacrifice here, just to make our motherland and our families not suffer or bleed. Do you think, can we let the enemy fight?"

"cannot!"

"You said, can we let the enemy set foot on our land and destroy our homeland with bullets and shells?"

"cannot!"

"You said, can we point the enemy's gun and bayonet at our brothers and sisters?"

"No! No!"

...

The warrior clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice at his throat. Although the sound was not loud, it showed great determination and murderous intent, just like a group of tigers lurking in the forest making a low roar towards its prey!

I was also infected by this atmosphere and only felt that I and the team I was in were invincible and could do anything. At this time, no matter how powerful the monster came ahead, we would rush up to tear it to pieces without hesitation!

The first batch of enemies who came here are destined to become victims!

“yeah!”

“wedidit,wedidit!”

“Victory!”

...

With a louder American cheer, a group of American soldiers arrived at Huishanjin before dusk.

From the information I have read, I know that this unit is the vanguard of the 7th Division of the US. Their division commander is David Barr. Because they are the first and only US military unit to the Yalu River, their names are honored to have entered the history books, but the process of how they were defeated was followed.
