Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

North Korea, Huizhou,

On the banks of the Yalu River, which was devastated but filled with the atmosphere of war, the cold wind howled, rustling the dry grass on the river bank, but this did not affect the irrepressible excitement of the four American military officers.

The highest commander on the Eastern Front, Almond, commander of the 10th Army, stood tall and straight. Although his straight uniform was stained with some smoke and dust, the stars on his epaulettes were still eye-catching.

The corners of his mouth rose, revealing a confident and heroic smile, his eyes full of the pride of a winner.

Standing next to him were David, commander of the 7th U.S. Division, and several officers of the division. Military photographers quickly pressed the shutter to record this historic moment.

On the eastern front, the US 10th Army was divided into two routes. The US 7th Division pushed northward and joined the South Korean 1st Corps, while the 1st Marine Division headed westward to Jiangjie!

Because the volunteers fought and retreated, they had almost no obstacles along the way.

"David, what did that unfortunate fellow Walker go through on the Western Front?"

In Almond's view, the Chinese army was simply vulnerable. Even in Almond's calculations, a US regiment could easily deal with a division of the Volunteer Army!

David thought about it and said cautiously,

"General, according to the battle report, the volunteer army on the western front has concentrated 400,000 people. In terms of manpower, General Walker is at an absolute disadvantage!"

Almond shook his head and said,

"David, even if the Chinese came with 1 soldiers, they wouldn't be able to wipe out an army of more than soldiers in one go, right? What's more, there are ace troops like the st Cavalry Division. In my opinion, Walker's own tactics are problematic!"

"General, I think we should not underestimate the enemy. I heard that the volunteers have a strong will to fight and are well-equipped. The Soviets have given them a lot of help!"

"Haha, why are we so unimpeded on the eastern front? The 1st Marine Division has already occupied Liutanli. Continuing westward is Wupingli, a railway hub and logistics base. After we take Wupingli, Commander MacArthur promised to airlift another 10 divisions to me. Then we can outflank the Volunteer Army and throw them into disarray! David, this is the only way for us to reverse the defeat on the western front!"

David immediately said,

"General, now it depends on whether Smith's 1st Marine Division can turn the tide!"

Almond showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

"I really can't understand Smith's behavior. The 1st Marine Division is too slow. I don't know what's wrong with Smith's brain. He even built an airport in Xiajieyu. He hasn't encountered many volunteers yet, but he has already started preparing for retreat!"

"General Smith might be more cautious!"

Almond said confidently,

"According to aerial reconnaissance, there are only more than 20,000 volunteers on the Eastern Front. Their main forces are on the Western Front. Our three divisions plus the two divisions of South Korea are enough to deal with the situation on the Eastern Front!"

When the two were chatting, a voice came from behind.

"General, the naval aviation sent an urgent telegram!"

Almond took the telegram and was stunned.

"Oh, shit! Damn it! The Chinese built nineteen more pontoon bridges on the Yalu River overnight, and the naval aviation destroyed only six of them, losing fifty-seven aircraft. Today the Chinese Air Force showed up again, all bad news!"

David was also shocked.

"Nineteen floating bridges? Where did the Chinese get them?"

"Needless to say, it must have been given by the Soviets! Including the planes. Although the Soviets did not directly participate in the war, they have been making trouble behind the scenes!"

Almond began to worry. What would he do if the Volunteer Army's logistical supply line could not be cut off?

"Report, General MacArthur is calling!"

Almond quickly took it over.

"Let's take a helicopter to Busan immediately. He wants to hold a combat meeting!"

"MacArthur came to Busan?"

The two walked towards the helicopter side by side!

Wupingli,

In a mountain valley in the northeast,

If you look from the air,

The ground was covered with white.

From the ground, it was as lively as a market.

There is a campsite on a flat area with white tents standing next to each other.

Three white field dining trucks were parked at the entrance of the tent camp.

Inside the dining car,

Several alcohol stoves were burning, using solid alcohol, which did not produce any smoke when burning.

On top of the alcohol stove, there are several large aluminum alloy barrels. Some of the barrels contain prepared fragrant rice, some contain heated beef stew with potatoes pre-made dishes, and some contain milk made from milk powder!

"Comrades, dinner is ready!" The cook shouted loudly through the electric speaker of the dining car, and the sound was heard far away in the open snow. As soon as the window of the dining car was opened, the aroma of steaming food filled the air, dispelling some of the cold.

Next to the dining car, there was immediately a long line of soldiers, all wearing white snow windproof suits, and each holding an aluminum lunch box and water bottle in their hands!

The soldier in the front row handed over the lunch box, and the cook skillfully served the food. "Eat more, only when you are full will you have the strength to win the battle!" The cook smiled and said to the soldiers while serving the food.

In the team, the soldiers were talking quietly. "Today's beef stew with potatoes is so delicious, I feel like I can eat two big bowls of rice!" A young soldier licked his lips and said excitedly.

The veteran beside him patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to eat more so that you can have the strength to charge on the battlefield."

Another soldier joked, "After the battle, I will go home and ask my mother to cook such delicious meals." This caused his comrades around him to laugh.

Everyone hurried back to their tents with their lunch boxes, eating with big mouthfuls. As the food entered their stomachs, warmth spread from their stomachs to their whole bodies, and their cheeks, which had originally been red from the cold, gradually regained color.

Some soldiers were eating when their tongues were suddenly scalded by the food, but they were still reluctant to stop. They took a hissing breath and said incoherently, "It's so delicious! Eating this hot meal is better than anything else!" This made the comrades around them laugh. The laughter echoed in the snow, full of vitality and strength.

During the Changjin Lake operation of the 9th Corps, the "Logistics Support Standards for Winter Operations of the Troops" were strictly implemented. Each company was equipped with a field dining car to ensure that everyone had three hot meals a day. Although they were pre-prepared dishes, the hot meals could help keep out the cold!

In addition, about 500 grams of snacks are distributed every day, and the soldiers are required to finish them within a day. There are at least three kinds of snacks, which are rotated.

The snack supply warehouse of the Volunteer Army includes more than 30 varieties including cheese, toffee, chocolate, jam sandwich biscuits, cream sandwich biscuits, beef jerky, amber walnut kernels, meat floss biscuits, honey preserved fruits, etc., all of which are high-calorie foods!

There is no way to resist the cold. One is to add personal warm equipment, and the second is to keep eating to ensure enough calorie intake!
