The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 177 The Moved Transporters
Xia Yuan thought twice and decided to fetch water!
He woke up the soldiers and discussed the countermeasures, and the soldiers said one after another:

"Company commander, give the order! We listen to you!"

"Commander, we all listen to you!"

In today's battle, they have seen the bravery of this battle hero and were deeply impressed. In addition, Xia Yuan himself is a company commander. Far away, the fighting enthusiasm on his face was undisguised.

Fetching water seems to be a very difficult task, but in the eyes of the soldiers, it is a glorious thing. If we can get back some water for the comrades in the tunnel, it will be a supremely glorious thing.

Xia Yuan said: "Since everyone has no objection, then I will say it. The conditions in the tunnel are so difficult now, and it is not easy to improve, especially the lack of water source. The first thing we need to solve is the water source problem. I just said After thinking about it, we only need to cross the blockade line of the stick soldiers on the No.11 position, touch the ravine, complete the task of fetching water, and come back, the round trip is less than one kilometer."

"This time I plan to send three people, with thirty water bottles, to complete this task of fetching water!"

Xia Yuan's idea is not groundless, it is very important to solve the problem of water shortage in the NO.11 tunnel.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't solve it, it's just that the soldiers have to work harder in the tunnel.

After thinking about it again and again, solving water resources is a crucial problem at present.

As soon as Xia Yuan's proposal was launched, the soldiers rushed to participate in this operation. Seeing the enthusiastic response of the soldiers, Xia Yuan was deeply moved. In Shangganling, he witnessed the true friendship in battle. The iron man army is an army that cannot be defeated or blown up.

With their unwavering will, they have built a Great Wall, which is the will to make the enemy feel scared, terrified, and desperate.

There are only some marching water bottles in the tunnel, which were found from the corpses of foreign devils. If you are lucky, you can find some drinkable water in these water bottles, but after the stick soldiers came, the soldiers stopped taking water from the water bottles on the enemy , the enemy will poison the kettle they carry, they don't drink it themselves, the soldiers will drink it after they capture it, some soldiers will die after drinking it, and the soldiers realize that the enemy has poisoned the kettle .

The U.S. military does not have these ideas. Maybe they don’t want to see that there is not even a drop of water in the tunnels of the volunteer soldiers, and sometimes they still have to get water from the canteens they carry.

There are only 37 marching water bottles in the tunnel. These water bottles were seized from the U.S. military. Xia Yuan took three soldiers and set off in the dark night. The NO. Before the four of them came out, Xia Yuan took advantage of the darkness when the flares went out, turned on the night vision and observed the stick soldiers all around, and made sure that the stick soldiers were in the fire bunker on the reverse slope.

A small reverse slope actually pierced eight enemy machine gun bunkers, and there were criss-cross trenches all over the reverse slope, large and small.

The shaking helmet of the enemy can be seen from a long distance.

After waiting for about a minute, the enemy fired a flare. The shining flare shone brightly. The mist in the ravine was so clear that the transporter’s body could be seen everywhere. The hole is full of blood, and there are still a lot of supplies falling far away. The enemy's guns are aimed at the bottom of the mountain. No one dares to go there to get them. Once found, the enemy's several heavy machine guns will shoot out a stream of fire. The chain, that guy hit the body, the flesh can be smashed.

Soldiers often say that the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets sparkle brilliantly and look beautiful. When they encounter them, they are the death charms of Lord Hades, and they may be urged away at any time.

Before setting off, the four ate some biscuits and drank some water. The soldiers sent them to the entrance of the tunnel. A light machine gun was mounted on the bunker at the entrance of the tunnel, facing the top of the mountain, and soldiers were specially assigned to cover the water fetching.

Before setting off, Xia Yuan specially told the three of them: "Be calm, don't be impatient, and crawl slowly. The enemy's eyes are sharp, so they might not be able to see them, but they can't be careless. This journey must be dangerous. But if we can get back water, we can solve the current dilemma of the tunnel."

Severe water shortage forced the soldiers to eat radishes to quench their thirst, but eating too much radishes would cause heartburn, and it would be impossible not to eat them. They would rather eat heartburning radishes than eat biscuits, because eating biscuits would make their mouths burn. The saliva in the mouth dries up quickly, and the soldiers subconsciously think that eating biscuits will speed up the loss of water, so they would rather be hungry than eat the biscuits.

Water is the source of life, this sentence is vividly reflected in Shangganling.

Taking advantage of the darkness, when the flares were extinguished, the four of them quietly climbed out of the tunnel, carried the water bottle on their backs, and climbed towards the ravine.Xia Yuan was leading the way. With his powerful night vision, he had a clear view of the terrain in the entire ditch, and he knew which direction to climb and the position was good.

Night vision and Hawkeye play a huge role in this moment.

When he first came to Shangganling, he came to see the No.11 position. He still had an impression of the landform here, with lush vegetation and lush trees. But after these days of fighting, everything here has changed. The traffic ditch between the two tunnels No more, only large and small bomb craters lined up on the hillside. The dense vegetation and vigorous trees are gone, replaced by scorched earth and dead trees with no leaves.

Behind is the main peak of Shangganling, and you can also see the village under the main peak of Shangganling. I went there once before. Although it was bombed by the enemy, there are still many ruins, and now there are only ruins left.

Xia Yuan continued to observe while climbing, and after confirming a feasible path, he led the three of them to climb over carefully. The soil on the hillside in this area has been plowed repeatedly by the enemy's shells, and has turned into a thick layer. Fans, only when they are on the scene can they have a real feeling of the destructive power of war.

Xia Yuan has never seen the soil so soft when it is beaten. Walking on it is like stepping on the snow, and it will sink when you step on it. If you climb one foot, you will sink five inches.He thrust his hands into the soil vigorously, shrunk the lower half of his body forward desperately, lay down on his stomach with difficulty, and was sweating profusely after crawling not far away. The dust stuck to his face and itched him so badly that he couldn't open his eyes. , the palms and sleeves were full of dirt, he shook his head vigorously, stared at the distance, and continued to crawl forward.

Suddenly, with a bang, a flare exploded above their heads, swaying east and west in the wind, Xia Yuan and the others stopped quickly and waited patiently. The enemy didn't notice it. In ten seconds, the flare turned from white to yellow and gradually went out. Xia Yuan led the three of them to continue crawling, and soon came to a small raised area. There was a dry ditch with a small puddle next to it. , Through night vision, the puddle was covered with gunpowder smoke and shrapnel.

A soldier shouted cautiously: "Company commander, there is water here!"

Xia Yuan turned around and said, "We don't want this water, it's stagnant water with a lot of bacteria in it, let's find fresh water."

In a place like Shangganling where there is a shortage of medicines, I can’t live. I don’t know what will happen after drinking the stagnant water. Now I’m still in the ravine between the 597.9 highland and the main peak of Shangganling. Climbing forward and turning a corner, it’s 597.9 In the ditch between 537.7 and [-], Xia Yuan seemed to have remembered something.

When the materials seized earlier were sent to the first company on the 537.7 high ground, I walked through that ditch, but I didn’t pay attention to the surroundings at the time. After all, I had a lot of materials, so I wanted to send the materials to the first company. Now 597.9 is so intense. , I don't know how the situation in the 537.7 highland is, it is estimated that it will not be too good.

According to what he had learned before, 597.9 had already started the third phase of the Battle of Shangganling. 537.7 was still in dire straits, and the living conditions in the tunnels were not good. Many tunnels were breached by the enemy, and the positions fell for a time.

The flares went out, they continued to climb, gradually moved away from the 597.9 highland, and crawled towards the darkness in the distance. From a distance, they could hear the enemy's artillery fire blocking our army's logistics, and the gunpowder smoke came from the blockade area in the distance , a rich, dark night like a group of ghosts, the air is mixed with the smell of gunpowder.

One of the enemy's flares was launched into the sky, and the light projected over, it was pale and pale. The crawling soldiers looked back at the 597.9 highland, and the flares were hanging in the sky. The pale flares illuminated the entire Shangganling as if it were daytime. Under the light source, is the outline of the highland.

"Don't look around! Keep climbing!"

Xia Yuan knew that their position was basically safe, and they couldn't be careless. Maybe the enemy was staring at them in this direction. Hearing Xia Yuan's voice, the soldiers turned their heads, lying on the ground with hands and feet, and followed closely Behind Xia Yuan, there was darkness in front of him, and he didn't know what was waiting for the soldiers.

Half an hour later, Xia Yuan got up from the ground, pulled up the soldiers one by one, and asked with concern, "How is your hand?"

Bandages were wrapped around his palms, and his skin was torn apart by the machine gun before. With his strong physical fitness, he was basically in good shape.

The soldiers clapped their hands, shook their heads and said, "Company commander, we are fine, let's go quickly."

The soldiers also know that they are now out of the range of the 597.9 highland, the enemy can no longer see them, they are safe, but they still miss the comrades in the tunnel of the No.11 position in their hearts.

Xia Yuan looked into the distance, and the mountain in front of him was the North Mountain of Highland 537.7. He led the soldiers forward not far, and suddenly met a team. He gathered himself together, and immediately signaled the team to stop, and quickly shouted: "Comrade!!"

The group of people in the darkness ahead was startled suddenly, and looked towards this side with their guns in hand.

"Comrade, I am Xia Yuan, the current company commander of the Ninth Company Garrisoned in the 597.9 Highlands!"

Xia Yuan came out with three soldiers hiding in the dark. The team in front of them was carrying ammunition and food behind them. There was a platoon of more than 30 soldiers. They were very excited when they heard that it was the commander of the ninth company of the former garrison of Shangganling 597.9. He gathered around and stared at Xia Yuan, just like a fan would look at a star in the future.

They spoke one word and said excitedly:

"It's a battle hero, it's a battle hero!"

"Great, I met the battle heroes from Shangganling!"

"Thank you for defending our country on the front lines, thank you, you are heroes!"

Then the other party introduced them as logistics transporters, and asked why they appeared here.

Xia Yuan pointed to the water bottles hanging on the soldiers, and said, "There is a shortage of water in the tunnel, so I brought three soldiers to fetch water from the ravine here."

A little soldier asked: "Ninth Company Commander, are the conditions in the tunnel very difficult?"

Xia Yuan didn't speak, and a soldier beside him said: "In order to defend the motherland, it will not be difficult. Back then, in order to build our motherland, the Red Army climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed grasslands. They ate grass roots and belts. We can still eat you in the tunnels." The radishes and steamed buns brought up, whatever the hardships, we are still happy.”

The logistics platoon leader in charge of transportation hastily put down the basket behind him, took out apples one by one, and stuffed them into the arms of Xia Yuan and the soldiers behind him without any explanation, and said while stuffing them: "This is an apple given to us by the North Korean people. , try it.” (At this time, there were apples sent by the North Korean people, and some apples purchased by the volunteers themselves.)
The soldiers touched the apple in their hands, and their Adam's apple rolled. They held it in their hands and kept touching it, as if touching it meant that they had already eaten it.

The platoon leader said: "Hurry up and eat, there is still some in our basket after eating."

The soldier shook his head, returned the apples to him, and said: "We don't want to eat them, so give these apples to comrades in other tunnels to eat. The company commander took us to fetch water, and when we got water, we also I can drink enough water."

The soldiers in the logistics were moved with tears in their eyes, and they tried their best not to let the tears flow out. The soldiers in front of them came from the tunnel, and their lips were chapped and scorched. They were so eager to touch the apple. , but still returned the apples to them and asked them to give the apples to comrades in other tunnels.

What a lovely person.

Xia Yuan only left two apples, handed the rest to them, and said, "There are only four of us, it's not good to take so many apples, and we can't carry them. You must be careful when you deliver apples this time, the enemy's machine guns But looking at you."

He really doesn't have much experience to give these soldiers, because even he can't guarantee that he won't be killed by the enemy's machine gun every time he comes out. He only relies on his powerful night vision and eagle eyes. A skill, explored the terrain, and determined the direction of action.

The NO.11 tunnel is not like the No. [-] tunnel. It faces not only the stick soldiers on the No. [-] position, but also the bunker built by the stick soldiers on the mountain edge of the No. [-] position. It can be said to be attacked from three sides. This is the case at the mouth of the tunnel, so the conditions at the mouth of other tunnels are even worse.

Especially for Beishan, the 537.7 highland that he has never been to, the situation is estimated to be unimaginably difficult.

The platoon leader said: "It doesn't matter. In order to support the soldiers in the tunnel, what is the sacrifice? The motherland will remember us, the people will remember us, we are the cutest people!"
