Chapter 134: Armed to the teeth! How can the Eagle Sauce lose?

There were cigarettes, coffee, cola, toilet paper, and even condoms!
It is truly armed to the teeth!

In comparison, the Volunteer Army said they had nothing.

[Even this thing exists? This is too outrageous! ]

[I testify that this is true! My grandfather told me this!]

[But he said he never used it once from beginning to end! The Volunteer Army was attacking day and night, often launching charges in the middle of the night! He was afraid that he would be frightened to death! ]

[Compared to this, it is incredible that the Volunteer Army could win! ]

"As for the gap in weapons and equipment, that's even more so. They are not even on the same level at all."

"They have tanks, planes, artillery, everything you need."

"What about us? We were just founded, very poor, and we could only afford a few cars."

"Not to mention that they were able to call for air support. This was really the most difficult battle to fight."

The old man showed an envious look. He thought, how great it would be if we had these equipments during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea!

At the beginning of the battle, we had 1300 vehicles, but in less than a month, only 300 were left, and the rest were all destroyed by American fighter planes.

In the second battle, cars that were more than two thousand years old were seized, but before they could be moved away, they were destroyed by bombers.

Faced with the ubiquitous bombers, we can say that we have no means of countermeasure and can only passively take the beating.

Not to mention fighter planes, even anti-aircraft guns are few and far between.

The only countermeasure was the light machine gun.

A hero named Guan Chonggui shot down a fighter plane with a machine gun for the first time and told the rest of the company the method.

On that day, the 188th Division shot down a total of planes.

When carrying out bombing missions, the American soldiers would drink Coke, chew gum and sing songs.

To them, it's no different than playing a game.

After carrying out the bombing mission, it even flew at ultra-low altitudes several times to provoke the volunteers.

Anyway, there are no anti-aircraft guns, so how can they threaten fighter planes?

Guan Chonggui couldn't stand it anymore. Damn it, did he really think the volunteer army could be manipulated by others?
After observing and finding the right angle, he shot down the fighter plane with one burst of bullets.

After that day, the American pilots were left with a serious psychological trauma.

A fighter plane was shot down by a machine gun. Where can I seek justice?

They no longer dared to be careless. After completing the bombing mission, they returned home immediately and dared not fly at low altitude to provoke.

The situation did not improve until 1951, when China's first batch of fighter planes arrived on the battlefield.

[Vought? Machine guns can shoot down fighter planes? Don’t brag! ]

[That's right, this Chinese guy is talking nonsense again. What are we going to do with anti-aircraft guns and air defense guns? We can just produce machine guns!]

[I checked Wikipedia and found out that this is actually true! ]

[As a pilot, I can tell you that this is possible, but it is very difficult! Not only does it have to be accurate, but the fighter plane also has to fly at a very low altitude! ]

[If they hadn't flown at a very low altitude to provoke, the Chinese wouldn't have been able to shoot down the fighter plane! ]

As for the comparison of other weapons and equipment, the gap is even more obvious.

Every American soldier is equipped with modern weapons, leather shoes, cotton coats, watches, compasses, and first aid kits. . .

The volunteers only had outdated guns, thin cotton-padded clothes, yellow rubber shoes, and even straw sandals and cotton. . .

A division of the Eagle Sauce has about 20,000 people, equipped with 150 tanks, 35 armored vehicles, 72 howitzers, 72 anti-aircraft guns, and 22 aircraft.

The Volunteer Army has 50,000 soldiers, but they have zero equipment!

The only thing they had was a homemade gun in their hands.

Oh, by the way, there is also a mountain artillery battalion, which we seized from Xiaoyinghua.

And the Eagle Sauce doesn't even know what a mountain cannon is.

The conventional weapons of the Eagle Sauce were Springfield rifles, M1 carbines, Thompson submachine guns, M1 Garand rifles, and M1919A heavy machine guns, all of which were the most advanced weapons in the world at that time. The conventional weapons of the Volunteer Army were Type rifles, Zhongzheng rifles, and Czech light machine guns, all of which were very old weapons, and a considerable part of them were captured.

[Wardfa? Not even a single heavy weapon? This is too pitiful! ]

[This is shit, it's not even on the same level! I don't even know how to win in this game! ]

[I really want to know, with such a huge gap, how did these idiots like Eagle Sauce lose! ]

[Ah, bastard! The Eagles are really stupid. If our country of Korea plays, we can easily win! ]

[Yoshi! Our little Sakura can easily win! ]

[Aren't you afraid that your father, the Eagle Sauce, will be angry when you say this? 】

Why can we win this battle?
The answer lies in the azalea flowers stained red with blood, in the memories of veterans returning victoriously from the battlefield, and in the history of China which has become even more brilliant and glorious after 70 years of ups and downs!
"Grandpa, which battle impressed you the most?" Anna asked.

"The most impressive ones are Changjin Lake and Shangganling."

“Those were two tough battles.”

“Several of my fellow countrymen died in these two battles.”

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would be the only one back."

"My old friends, I missed you!"

The old man closed his eyes and two tears rolled down.

One figure after another appeared in his mind, still looking the same as when he was young, smiling and greeting him.

They were once comrades who fought together!

Maybe the day before he was still discussing how he would go home, marry a wife, and live happily with his wife and children after victory.

The next second, he died in the Eagle Sauce's artillery fire.

He is the oldest among them and the big brother of everyone.

He had said he would take them home.

But he broke his promise.

Anna felt distressed when she saw this.

She wanted to go forward to comfort him, but was stopped by Chen Lu.

The old man is a true warrior and he doesn't need comfort.

A minute later, the old man slowly opened his eyes and his mood had calmed down.

"Changjin Lake, that was really the most tragic battle."

"I can't count how many of my comrades died in this battle."

"What impressed me most were the ice sculptures..."

Changjin Lake and Shangganling were two very brutal battles.

Many soldiers suffered from PTSD after these two battles.

That's post-traumatic stress disorder.

Even many years later, we are still trapped in the nightmare of these two battles.

"At that time, the supply of fried noodles was seriously insufficient, and each person was given four potatoes a day."

"The temperature was close to -40 degrees Celsius, and the potatoes were frozen solid."

"We just put it on our chest to warm it up a little before eating."

"The battalion commander asked us to find leaves and weeds, roll them into balls, and tie them around our waists and thighs to keep warm."

"Even so, many people still get frostbite every day."

"Just a light touch of my finger and it just fell off..."

　Thanks to the almighty Xiaoyan for the reward!
