Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

On November 2, 1950, the 39th Army completely eliminated all enemies in Yunshan City and wiped out the 8th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division and all troops of the 1st Division of South Korea!

If the commander of the 8th Regiment had not burned their regimental flag in the final hopeless situation, perhaps this would have been the first large and beautiful unit on the battlefield to have its regimental flag captured and be completely wiped out.

Thanks to Zhao Cheng's participation, the battle ended a day earlier than historically. Zhao Cheng was awarded a first-class individual merit and a first-class collective merit for his contribution to the number of enemies killed and heavy equipment destroyed. After the battle, only less than ten men remained standing from the Seventh Company; the rest were either wounded or killed!

Zhao Cheng knew that in history, the Seventh Company had never suffered such heavy casualties in this battle. Perhaps because of his presence, the Seventh Company suffered greater losses than in history. However, Zhao Cheng did not regret it. After all, he did end the entire battle a day earlier, right?

Zhao Cheng followed the Seventh Company to retreat to the rear to rest and replenish troops. The Seventh Company was in dire need of reinforcements now!

"Company commander, shall we go back to the country directly for replenishment?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously?

"No need. We have already crossed the river to replenish our troops. We can just replenish them, do some training and then continue to advance with the troops!" Captain Feng said listlessly.

"Alas, I don't know when we can go to the battlefield again!" Zhao Cheng followed the troops, carrying a stretcher to the designated location for repairs.

Throughout the Yunshan Campaign, the 39th Army suffered the heaviest casualties in the 347th Regiment, and the 347th Regiment suffered the heaviest casualties in the 7th Company where Zhao Cheng was located, because the 7th Company was the first to break through the enemy's defense line and was also the first to suffer the enemy's fierce counterattack!

After arriving at the designated location, Zhao Cheng and the company commander went to see the additional troops and equipment.

The Seventh Company had many wounded soldiers, and many of the lightly wounded would return to the company within a month, so the superiors only added 60 people to the Seventh Company, and the remaining vacancies could only be filled by waiting for the wounded to return.

"Company commander, are we going to fight with these sixty or seventy soldiers?" Zhao Cheng couldn't believe his ears.

"There's nothing we can do. We suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and we don't have that many people to reinforce us in a short time! It's good enough to be able to get 60 people, so you should be content!" Captain Feng felt very aggrieved when he saw Zhao Cheng's shocked expression.

His own company was basically crippled, with only a dozen or so men left standing. The platoon leaders were basically all injured or killed. What could Zhao Cheng and his two company commanders do? The 60 additional personnel, while not new recruits, were no different from them.

Zhao Cheng really didn't know that the original reinforcements were only this much, which was outrageous. Could these 70-plus people be used as a company?

Although many wounded soldiers would return to the team soon, Zhao Cheng knew that he would probably not be able to participate in the next battle to stop the Great Piaoliang Eighth Army.

Just as Zhao Cheng expected, Zhao Cheng and his Seventh Company had been resting. As General Da Piaoliang commanded 22 troops to the north to destroy us, we launched an active defensive operation.

On November 25, the battle began. Zhao Cheng listened to the rumbling of artillery coming from afar, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

"Company commander, why don't you ask the leader to let us go up? I can't stand just standing here and watching! The battle is so fierce, we must have suffered heavy casualties. This is when we are needed." Zhao Cheng paced back and forth in Company Commander Feng's tent.

"Hey, just be quiet for a while! We are the reserve force. If the front line is not overwhelmed, we will not be sent there. If you really can't stay idle, go train the troops and make the best use of the time to improve the combat effectiveness." Captain Feng was really annoyed by Zhao Cheng.

"Aren't you making things difficult for me? It's good enough that you don't train me, but if I go to train the troops, wouldn't I be misleading the young people?" When Zhao Cheng heard the company commander ask him to train the troops, he immediately begged for mercy.

Because it has been more than 20 days, the lightly wounded soldiers of the Seventh Company have returned to the team one after another. Now the Seventh Company has basically restored its organization, but because there are many new recruits, it can only be used as a battle reserve and is left in the rear.

"Can't you teach our soldiers your unique skills? I heard that you never aim when shooting, you just raise your gun and shoot, and your accuracy is very high! You can even pick up other people's guns on the battlefield and shoot? Please pass this on to me, it's a very valuable experience!" Captain Feng suddenly became interested.

"Oh, my company commander, please stop teasing me. My gun sense is fed by bullets. How can we have such conditions now? Besides, how many of our soldiers can ignore the recoil of the gun and shoot directly? My experience is not suitable for promotion to everyone!" Zhao Cheng also hurriedly explained.

This wasn't Zhao Cheng hiding something, but he simply didn't have the conditions right now. If he were back home, he might be able to train, but this was on the front lines, with supplies so difficult to come by, how could he possibly train like that? There simply weren't the conditions.

"Then how did you practice it? I remember you were just a policeman before! You didn't have so many opportunities to shoot!" Captain Feng still didn't believe it.

"Company commander, I was at the Baizhifang Police Station before liberation. In order to capture a suspect, Xu Tian, ​​the then police chief of the Baizhifang Police Station, and I seized several guns and some bullets. Later, I practiced with those bullets continuously and got a feel for it! That's hundreds of bullets! And I have a good physical fitness, so I basically don't need to worry about the recoil when shooting, which is why I can have such good marksmanship!" Zhao Cheng explained helplessly.

Zhao Cheng learned this trick from Yuan Lang in the TV series. He didn't aim specifically and shot based on his feeling. With Zhao Cheng's physical fitness, he must have practiced with nearly a thousand bullets to master this technique!

Don't forget that guns back then all required bolt action! They weren't the assault rifles of later times. So you can imagine how much Zhao Cheng had to go through! Not only did he use up all the captured bullets, but he also bought a lot of them himself! He spent a lot of money! If he hadn't been able to secretly buy bullets with Jin Hai in the Beijing Prison, how could Zhao Cheng have the marksmanship he has now?

Upon hearing this, Captain Feng agreed that what Zhao Cheng said made sense. Firing a rifle now required pulling the bolt to load the chamber, which was not only slow, but also unbearable for most people. After all, a fully loaded 7.62mm caliber bullet had considerable recoil, and it wasn't as easy to practice as the current 5.58 caliber bullet. A soldier who could fire a hundred rounds a day was considered an expert these days.

The average soldier could only fire eight or ten rounds a day, and many of them would have bruises on their shoulders! They couldn't even fire the next day.

"Oh, what a pity. You must write me a summary of this method after you return home. We will definitely have the opportunity to practice it. Then I wonder if their Sharpshooter Company 4 will still have the nerve to call it that! Then our company will be called Sharpshooter Company 7! Let's take over their title!" Captain Feng said happily.

Zhao Cheng looked at the company commander's excited expression and curled his lips. "Sharpshooter Company 7 isn't a good name. It's not as good as Steel Company 7! And they're trying to steal their title!"
