Chapter 194 The last two days
.
Yuanchang took out the last bulk bullet from the wrapping paper and loaded it into t. Because it was separated by cold-proof gloves, the movement was a bit unsmooth, but this did not hinder Wang Yuanchang's loading movement. Zui-lu-net
After loading the ammunition of his 32-bar semi-automatic rifle, Wang Yuanchang also manipulated another bolt-action rifle beside him. Wang Yuanchang was a soldier from the 51st Regiment Mechanical Infantry Battalion who arrived in advance. The guard division that followed the airborne was responsible for the east and north of the supply station, while the 112th Regiment that followed was responsible for the defense of the west, while his side was responsible for the defense of the south.
When the troops came out, the troops carried a large amount of combat supplies, but no matter how much supplies there were, there were more Soviet people on the opposite side. The battles in the past few days had consumed all the ammunition. At first, there was another airdrop supply carried by the Air Force at night. However, a new Siberian cold current caused the airdrop supply to be suspended. Everyone could only rely on the weapons and ammunition they carried out before. No matter how much ammunition was, it could not withstand such torture and consumption under such uninterrupted continuous combat, especially the various types of artillery shells, which had basically been consumed. If it weren't for some Soviet artillery and shells in the supply station that had been using firepower to support before, the situation would have long been unknown what it would have become. Now these tanks and armored vehicles have reduced movements as much as possible, and only started activities every two hours to keep the vehicle from being frozen by the cold weather.
Wrapped the damaged Soviet military coats around me a little tightly. If the biggest advantage of capturing this supply station is that the large number of quilts stored here are pulled out to the front line for the soldiers to keep warm. Many soldiers use military coats as quilts and military coats as quilts. They are broken by artillery fire and burned. No problem, go and get new ones to lay them on! Some soldiers may have been afraid of being cold when they were young, so they lay several layers of military coats under their bodies, and then covered them with thick layers of military coats as quilts. The faces that had not been washed for a few days and dirty coats rubbed into the thick temporary bedding, which looked like a scoundrel and affliction like a little landlord rolling on the ground and eating candy.
"Yuanchang, I'm Lu Lei, I'm in!" A voice reported his identity and lifted up the tarp-proof cloth and drilled in. The tarp-proof cloth was tinkered by Wang Yuanchang from the supply station. After covering his fox pit, he played a significant role in wind and cold protection. Soon, the fox pit covered by this tarp-proof cloth became the standard outfit on the 51st Regiment's defensive position, but it was still only a little five kilometers away from the front line of the defensive position, so it also became a place for rotating combat soldiers to rest.
The snow that fell a few days ago also made these fox pits and the earth dissolve into one piece.
"I'm back, what good things to bring?" Wang Yuanchang asked his brother who had just gone out to collect supplies.
"What good things are there? Isn't it like the third one!" Lu Lei said expressionlessly, taking out a few things sealed and packaged in plastic bags from his body.
"Oh... milk tea powder, compressed biscuits, lunch meat... I'm really a third-party person. I've eaten it these days and feel a little nauseous." Wang Yuanchang looked at the battlefield food he had been eating these days, and felt a little unscrupulous in his mouth.
"Well, it's good to have food. The guards' men brought few supplies when they came out. Now they can only eat hot food once a day. It's good that we can eat twice in the morning and evening." Lu Lei took out a few things and took out the battlefield lunch box, and spread the legs below and stood on the frozen soil without military coats. The legs at the bottom of the lunch box and the support of the side baffle formed a combustion chamber. Carefully throw a small piece of solid alcohol to cause fire. After Lu Lei threw in a few pieces of broken wood as thick as a little finger into the combustion chamber.
Take out the kettle containing warm water from your arms and pour the warm water into the lunch box to heat it. The warm water was distributed together when Lu Lei was receiving the food, in order to flush out the soup packs carried in the compressed biscuits. Seeing the warm water slowly heated to the appropriate temperature, Lu Lei added the last little warm water to the bottom opening of the canned lunch meat.
"Is it soup or porridge?" Lu Lei skillfully opened the canned meat after heating with his own floor filling key. He asked before taking out the hot water.
"Go. Just a little left with some soup ingredients. Don't put it salty." Wang Yuanchang replied to Lu Lei.
"no problem."
Lu Lei poured the hot water from the lunch box into Wang Yuanchang's lunch box. He wrapped the compressed biscuits in plastic paper. He used a bayonet grip to smash the compressed biscuits. He then poured the pieces into his lunch box and continued to heat them. At the same time, he continued to knock on the larger pieces of compressed biscuits to break them with a rice spoon.
"Do it!" After fiddling for a while, compressed biscuits and hot water formed a paste and became another kind of food. Two people served this paste and hot soup to deliver lunch canned meat and had a simple dinner. Although these things tasted very badly, fortunately, they were hungry. The long-term career of a military soldier made them unable to refuse any food with the taste of a gourmet food.
(ps: I miss the winter mountaineering local food in college)
"***, when will this tug-of-war end..." After a simple dinner, the two of them crowded together to keep each other warm with their body temperature, thinking.

"It's been seven days, plus the first four days, the supply station has resisted the Soviets for more than ten days. Judging from the situation sent back there, they are almost reaching the limit. The oil and ammunition are almost exhausted. How much potential do they have to explore?" Gan Fu
The commander of the regiment army, Tang Biqiang, reflected the difficulties there.
"Don't worry, Fulin, according to the weather forecasting unit, the weather will improve in the second half of the night today. We arranged a wave of air freight, which can greatly alleviate their current situation. It is really difficult for them. They have persisted in this environment for so many days, but thanks to the days they have persisted, we have basically prepared for a counterattack; ammunition, oil, troops and logistics are all sufficiently reserved, and we just wait for the weather to completely improve the weather the day after tomorrow to launch a total attack!!" Tang Biqiang introduced the efforts and preparations made by the main attack troops these days.
"How much can it be transported over?"
"Not many, ten heavy passenger and cargo dual-purpose helicopters brought five platoons of reinforcements. Although the number of people was a little small, they could bring many wounded people back on the return trip. All the blood bank and medicines were consumed there. Ammunition and oil were airdropped by the transport aircraft at a low altitude, and more than 500 tons of materials can be airdropped. With these more than 500 tons of ammunition and oil, it can solve a large part of the problem of lack of ammunition and oil."
"I hope so... You don't know that boy Nonggen chased me every day and asked when I could go out, but I was annoyed by him!"
………………………………………
And just as the ice and snow were fighting in front of me, Roosevelt was sitting in front of the stove discussing something with several senior staff members.
"Mr. President, we have declared war on the despicable act of Japan's sneak attack on our Pearl Harbor. The people have expressed great anger at the Japanese sneak attack. I think they are also timely declaring war on Germany. Although Germany is now in a row with the red Soviet Union, I don't think Germany will stop expanding after destroying the Soviet Union. They have always coveted various resources, population, industry, minerals and food on France's territory. The German expansion will never stop outside the Maginot line of defense." An aide expressed his worries with deep vigilance.
"I agree with your point of view, but I think it's too early to declare war on Germany. In Germany and the Soviet Union, although I hate the German beard and some of his practices, I hate the arrogance and arrogance of the Soviets, and their arrogant and arrogant governments who are arrogant to defeat all the governments. In addition, we have just gotten rid of the impact of the Great Depression on us and have declared war with Japan, but I don't think our citizens will support us in declaring war on Germany, and even if we agree to declare war, we don't have much power to start war with both countries at the same time." Another staff member raked the ashes on the cigar and spit out the fragrant smoke of Cuban cigars.
"Everyone, what you are talking about is the problems we are facing now. The Germans have not threatened us directly. They are even in a close relationship with our ally Britain. They are rashly fighting with a country that is not in line with the isolationism that our citizens are pursuing now. Moreover, the Germans are now going to war with the Soviet Union. You must know that our citizens agree that they are more disgusted with this red polar bear. For Japan, I think this yellow-skinned monkey will not cause us too much trouble. It is only a matter of time to defeat Japan. But I think that in Asia and the Far East, there is a rising opponent threatening us." After listening to the opinions of several staff members, Roosevelt pulled the blanket that had slipped down his legs and said to the staff members in the room.
"Mr. President, are you talking about China?"
"right!"
"Mr. President, I don't know where you got the news. Are you worried that a Chinese man with an army of hundreds of thousands of troops would be hurriedly discarded by 20,000 people? Has the earth started to spin eastward?" An aide felt a little incredible.
"Yes. Everyone, you should also know how the Chinese expelled Japan from their territory. The newly appointed President Duan is a very mysterious figure. Just like him, the power in his hands is also very mysterious. According to our information, they have weapons that we cannot imagine, and these weapons seem to be developed and produced by them themselves." Roosevelt said solemnly.
"Mr. President, are you telling me the most ridiculous joke of this century? Or is your condition worsening to the point where you are talking nonsense? How could those guys with ridiculous pig tails on the back of their necks learn to use science to study and produce? My grandfather, who has been to China, told me that these guys with pig tails will only shake their heads and read their three-character scriptures, use women's foot bindings and menstruation to exorcise evil to resist our shells. If they invented bamboo slices covered with men's semen as a new weapon, I would be very surprised." The cigar-smoking staff member felt more ridiculous. His metaphor made everyone in the room laugh happily.
"Everyone, I know what I am talking about now seems to you as a very ridiculous thing, but please remember that China is a mysterious country, and it can often create incredible and puzzling miracles..."
Roosevelt's words did not warn others, and the strange laughter still pierced the air and spread.
………………………………………
"Prepare the cross sign quickly!! The transport aircraft formation is about to arrive here!" On the loading and unloading platform of the supply station, several soldiers were pouring the cloth prepared in advance on the ground and were being watered on the clothes.
In the sky, a buzzing roar was faintly heard. When gasoline was poured on), a soldier took out his Cool Fire Card lighter. With a tingling sound, the fire cap was lifted and the fire wheel was slashed. The rough directional teeth rubbed against the high-quality flint and emitted a large amount of sparks. The sparks easily ignited the tinder in the fire net. The rags in his hand were lit and thrown towards the combustion medium that was watering the gasoline. The gasoline burned along the combustion medium, forming a huge cross.
"On the ground, the aerial camel fleet discovered the target and began to airdrop supplies. Please pay attention to the landing points of each supply." The captain of the pilot aircraft in the sky quickly discovered the huge cross target on the ground.
"Yuanchang! Get up quickly." Lu Lei poked Wang Yuanchang who was still sleeping beside him with his arm.
"What's the matter?" Wang Yuanchang opened his eyes and gently moved his limbs in the quilt made of military coat, soothing his slightly numb feet.
"Listen?" Lu Lei poked his head out of the tarp cloth, and his black eyes wanted to pierce the dark night to find the familiar roar that disturbed his rest.
"It seems... it's an airplane?" Wang Yuanchang also poked his head out and listened to the sound in the sky.
"And it should be a group of aircraft. The sound is very thick. A single machine cannot make such a formation." More and more soldiers who were awakened by the group of aircraft poked their heads out of the fox pit.
"All soldiers are careful, take their weapons and leave the fox pit, quickly come out to guard and pay attention to the airdrop items in the sky." Not far away, the company commander's roar proved the speculation in the soldiers' hearts. Everyone excitedly drilled out of the fox pit, moving their bodies to prepare to receive the airdrop items.
On the position, tanks and armored vehicles all started to warm up the car. Some vehicles began to slowly move towards the front line positions, and the self-propelled artillery also began to fire the last ammunition, firing the last remaining artillery shells at the Soviet artillery positions that came to interfere with the airdrop.
"Be careful behind Yuanchang!" Lu Lei issued a warning immediately. Wang Yuanchang quickly ran forward after receiving Lu Lei's warning. Lu Lei's warning was to tell him that there was an airdrop package falling to him.
With a "bang", the airdrop bag hit the ground, and the parachute on the airdrop bag quickly covered Wang Yuanchang next to him.
Lu Lei did not help Wang Yuanchang get out of the parachute. If he went to help, he would arouse his comrades' disgust. Lu Lei pulled out the bayonet, and the sharp bayonet quickly cut off the rope tied outside. The two soldiers running from the side also helped Lu Lei unbutton the airdrop together.
"Leizi, what's the thing?!" Wang Yuanchang used a bayonet to cut a big hole in the parachute that covered him, cutting the rope that wrapped around his body.
"Ammunition and food." Lu Lei smashed open a familiar box with his butt stock, grabbed several magazines from it and filled it into the ammunition bag that he had been vacant for several days.
"Do you have smoke or anything else?"
"I don't know, this pack has more ammunition." Because the specific gravity of ammunition is heavier than oil, the ammunition airdrop package will land first than oil. Not far away, several soft packs landed on the ground, and an armored vehicle quickly drove towards the airdrop package.
"Leizi, help me decorate the ammunition!" Wang Yuanchang hurriedly ran to the other side when he saw this armored vehicle, because Wang Yuanchang was actually shot on this armored vehicle, so Wang Yuanchang became an infantryman fighting in the trenches.
"You guys, help me move these boxes of ammunition to that car!" Lu Lei put his ammunition bag full of ammunition, and directed several other soldiers to run towards the armored vehicles not far away with boxes of ammunition...
The soldiers on the ground were consuming and transporting various materials, and the artillery was also trying to suppress the Soviet artillery attack. Through the artillery trajectory radar brought by the 51st Regiment, the artillery was using their own way to cover the reception of materials.
At 5:40 a.m., when the transport aircraft fleet that had just dropped the supply supplies began to return, a huge roar that passed from the low altitude, ten large transport helicopters flew over Wang Yuanchang and the others at a low altitude, and landed at the centralized medical staff outside the supply station.
"You must send them to the hospital as soon as possible in this group of 163 critically injured people." The lieutenant colonel director of the battlefield hospital loudly introduced the conditions of the injured to the medical staff who came to transport the wounded. The dean's hand was not wearing gloves, and the blood clots that were wrinkled and condensed on his hands made the eyelids twitched.
"Please rest assured, we will save the lives of these soldiers as much as possible!" The head nurse responsible for picking up and dropping off the wounded promised to the director of the battlefield hospital.
After removing the medical medicines and blood bags on the helicopter, the dean felt that some of the wounded who could not catch up with the first batch of evacuation still needed these things.
Helicopters unloaded all kinds of supplies and transported the wounded into the spacious fuselage. The huge six-pad paddles brought a large amount of cold wind and smoke and dust without any effect on the slightest impact of these soldiers who had been depressed for a long time. After unloading the supplies, the soldiers transported all kinds of seriously injured into the spacious fuselage.
"You are in the rear, have you received any news." The battalion commander asked the reinforcements. Although the number of soldiers who landed on the plane was too different from the troops that besieged him by nearly 200,000 Soviet Union, the morale encouragement brought by so many more new forces was much more meaningful than that.
