The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 180 Everyone can eat enough, and if you want to add meat to the meal, you can add it.

Just as the soldiers in the No. 11 tunnel quickly packed up their weapons and equipment, and were about to rush out, they saw a vigorous figure rushing over and quickly got into the tunnel.

"Commander Xia! It's Commander Xia!"

The soldiers hurriedly helped Xia Yuan and put him on the ground. The moment he got rid of the enemy's entanglement, Xia Yuan took a deep breath and showed a smile on his face.

It feels so good to be alive.

A soldier asked with concern: "Commander Xia, are you not injured?"

Another soldier said: "Commander Xia won't be injured, how fast he ran just now!"

Xia Yuan grinned, showing his teeth, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I survived."

He sat down on the ground, and Hu Zhaochun and the others surrounded him, and said excitedly, "Company commander, we brought the water back!"

37 pots, not many pots, not many pots, all of them were shipped back.

The three of them were very happy. When they left the tunnel, they were ready to sacrifice. Unexpectedly, Company Commander Xia not only took them to fetch water successfully, but also transported the water back safely.

After solving the water problem in the NO.11 tunnel, Xia Yuan also heaved a sigh of relief. He thought of the two apples on his body, took them out and handed them to the soldiers, saying, "Eat some apples to moisten your throat first."

The soldiers happily took the apples. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't bear to eat them. Xia Yuan smiled and said, "There is no shortage of water in the tunnel now. Eat it quickly."

The soldiers still handed the apple to Xia Yuan and said, "Commander, you eat first."

Xia Yuan took the apple, took a bite, and chewed it in his mouth. The sweet juice filled his mouth. He squinted his eyes and said, "It's good, it tastes good, it's very sweet, try it."

The soldiers were happy, you took a bite of two apples, and I ate them in one bite.

When eating two apples in the NO.11 tunnel, the No. 597.9 position of the 4 highland was the position where the No. [-] Company captured Shangganling No. [-] position and then changed hands again. After being injured, Company Commander Feng recuperated in the tunnel , the instructor is responsible for commanding the soldiers in the tunnel to fight against the enemies outside the tunnel.

On the night of October 26th, Liu Mingsheng, a 135-year-old transporter from the 5th Company of the 19th Regiment, carried two boxes of grenades on his back and braved the enemy's artillery fire. He has a dry mouth and tongue, but he is reluctant, so he wants to keep it and give it to the soldiers in the tunnel to eat.

After passing through the enemy's hail of bullets, he risked his life and successfully entered the No. [-] tunnel. There were still seven soldiers in the tunnel, the instructor and the seriously injured Company Commander Feng. They fought in the tunnel for so long. The conditions in the tunnel It is getting harder and harder, especially the water shortage situation has not been able to get better. Some time ago, a soldier in Tunnel No. [-] risked his life and sent half a jug of water pierced by bullets, and they never drank water again.

Just like the soldiers in the NO.11 tunnel, they also survived by licking the wet stone walls.

Li Mingsheng didn't know who to give this apple to. He first gave it to Company Commander Feng who had suffered a serious gunshot wound: "Company Commander, you are seriously injured. Eat an apple first to moisten your throat."

Lianchang Feng's lips were dry and bloody, he shook his head, and said to the instructor: "Instructor, your voice is hoarse, eat to moisten your throat."

The soldiers who stayed in the No. [-] tunnel hadn't had a sip of water for several days. The green apple gave off an attractive fragrance. Let alone one, they could eat twenty of them each.

Company Commander Feng and the instructor knew that this apple was hard-won. The logistics were sending supplies to the various tunnels in Shangganling every night, but few of them could be delivered. A box of ammunition may have sacrificed several people, or even dozens of people. It was sent up after the transporter died.

The instructor asked Liu Mingsheng: "Where did the apples come from?"

Liu Mingsheng replied: "This apple is buried in the soil. I saw it when I was passing by and put it in my pocket."

The instructor asked him again, "Why don't you eat it yourself?"

Liu Mingsheng replied: "There is water to drink on the way to transport the ammunition."

Both the instructor and Company Commander Feng knew in their hearts that there was no water to drink on the way to transport the ammunition, but this soldier lied so that the comrades in the tunnel could eat an apple.While the instructor and Company Commander Feng were moved, they were also thinking about who to give this apple to.

At this time, the walkie-talkie operator Jiang Minxin was carrying out the company commander's order, reporting the situation to his superiors in a hoarse voice through the only walkie-talkie in the No. [-] tunnel.The instructor knew that the four walkie-talkie operators hadn't had much rest during the day and night battles, their voices were hoarse, and their lips were dry and cracked.

"Jiang Minxin, the four of you eat it separately to moisten your throat." The instructor handed him the apple.

Jiang Minxin looked at the company commander and the instructor, then looked back at the other three walkie-talkies, and at the wounded sleeping inside, Lan Baofa and company commander Feng. The four nodded knowingly, and gave Lan Baofa the apple.

"Instructor, this apple should be reserved for the wounded."

Correspondent Lan Baofa once had his right leg broken by a shell because of the connection with the back, but he seldom groaned in the tunnel. He knew that his groaning might affect the soldiers in the tunnel, so no matter how painful the wound was, he They all endured.His face was black and yellow, and his lips were dry and purple.He was holding an apple and was about to eat it, when he suddenly stopped and said to the company commander: "Company commander, you are also injured, and you haven't drunk water for a few days, you and the instructor eat it, it's better to command us to fight."

No matter how everyone persuaded, Lan Baofa still gave the apple to the instructor and Company Commander Feng.

Therefore, Company Commander Feng handed the apple to the bugleman, who immediately handed it to the health worker, and the health worker handed the apple to Lan Baofa, the wounded man whom he took care of day and night, and Lan Baofa handed it to the ammunition brought up at the risk of his life. Liu Mingsheng.An apple was passed from hand to hand among the hungry soldiers, and finally it fell into the hands of the company commander intact, never to be passed on.

The more difficult the time, the more comrades care about each other and give in to each other.

Company Commander Feng and the instructor exchanged glances. Everyone was reluctant to eat such an apple, so they had to share it with everyone.

"Comrades!"

The instructor said in a hoarse voice: "Last night we regained our position, wiped out the enemy, and repelled the enemy's charge more than a dozen times. Could it be that we can't even destroy an apple? Anyone who doesn't eat this apple just doesn't have the determination to stick to it for 24 hours. , you don’t have the courage to fight to the end!”

The instructor encouraged everyone with the aggressive method. In fact, at this time, the soldiers have reached the most hungry state. Let alone one apple, even ten or twenty, the soldiers can eat it all.

After the instructor finished speaking, he took a bite first and passed it to Company Commander Feng. Company Commander Feng understood and took a bite and passed it to Lan Baofa who was next to him. Everyone ate the apples, but the apples turned around, and when they returned to the instructor, there was still more than half of them left.

"Who else hasn't eaten?"

the instructor asked.

There was silence for a long time and no one answered. Just as the instructor was about to reprimand him, he suddenly felt that the surrounding air was extraordinarily quiet.At this time, apart from the sound of cannons outside, the tunnel was silent. Jiang Minxin, who was always optimistic, was silent. Tears flowed down his cheeks, moistening his dry lips. With the light from outside the cave, he could see every All soldiers are gently wiping the tears off their faces with their hands.

Company Commander Feng, who has always been rough and heroic, seemed to have something stuck in his throat. He only felt sad for a while, unable to restrain his emotions, and burst into tears.

Since turning into the tunnel to fight, each tunnel has shown different degrees of hardship.

Although under the heavy bombardment of U.S. aircraft and artillery, the enemy's attack was also quite fierce, but the U.S. and South Korean troops who attacked Shangganling still encountered a heavy blow from the more heroic and tenacious Chinese army relying on the tunnel position.The continuous attack with less than half a month of losses has already caused the 'United Nations Army' to pay a heavy price.Known to be heroic and decisive in completing tasks, the Seventh Division of the United States, known as the "Hourglass Division", was disabled, and the elite Second Division of the South Korean Army also suffered heavy losses.

In the small counterattack organized by our army's artillery fire on the 25th, Xia Yuan, the commander of the Ninth Company of Shangganling, led a team of soldiers to recover the lost No. [-] position and No. [-] position in succession, and opened up the connection between the two. With the support of artillery fire, he severely damaged a battalion of the enemy in the No. [-] position and wiped out a reinforced company of the No. [-] position. He made great achievements in battle and was known as the "Heroic Company Commander of Shangganling", which caused an uproar in the rear.

The commander of the 45th Division jumped up excitedly, with his hands behind his back, "What a commander of the Ninth Company! What a Xia Yuan! It does not disgrace the name of our volunteer army, and is worthy of the title of 'Legendary Recruit'! This combat exploit alone is unprecedented. There is no one who comes, comparable to Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

The battle in Shangganling became more and more cruel, and more heroes were born. In the front, Zhao Fengshou, who used his chest to withstand the blasting tube, and the combat hero, Platoon Leader Sun, followed by the eye-catching Wang Yongmeng. The Nine Company is the well-deserved company of heroes in Shangganling.

This is another legendary company that did not lose to the Eighth Company.

"If Xia Yuan can come back alive, I will definitely apply to my superiors and give him the title of Company of Heroes!"

The commander of the 45th division thought so in his heart.

On the 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th, batch after batch of troops were sent to Shangganling to replenish the tunnel soldiers and start a tug-of-war with the enemies in Shangganling. Xia Yuan also returned to the No. [-] main tunnel, leading the soldiers to continue to Fighting at the No. [-] position in Shangganling, batch after batch of soldiers died, and batch after batch of soldiers came in.

Some came from the No. [-] position, and some came from the No. [-] position. In the constant tug-of-war, the soldiers around Xia Yuan fell one after another, and one after another followed. He was able to be called by name, and later, new and old faces changed alternately in front of his eyes. Xia Yuan didn't know who they were, but they only had one name.

'Eight companies! '

Too many people died, but it didn't affect the enthusiasm of the soldiers in the slightest, as Company Commander Dai Wannian quoted Xia Yuan's words.

"We didn't sacrifice in vain! Because I always firmly believe that we will win this war! When the battle is won, people beat gongs, drums, and lights to welcome us back! Our happy life will also begin! "

"If we fail to go back alive, we may have died in North Korea, in a foreign country, and our bones will be buried forever in the ground of a foreign country! When the motherland is strong, they will definitely take us home!"

"At that time, the motherland has become stronger and the people's lives are getting happier. The buildings are getting taller and taller. The streets are getting cleaner. The clothes people wear are getting better and better. The smiles on their faces , more and more. At that time, we will look at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, look at the happy life of the people, and look at the country we have sacrificed our lives to defend."

"We sacrificed!"

"It's worth it!"

This sentence was once said by Xia Yuan to the soldiers of the Seventh Company, but now Xia Yuan said it to the soldiers of the Eighth Company, and it was remembered by the soldiers of the Eighth Company. Every time a batch of new faces enter the tunnel, Captain Dai will Take this sentence out and say it to them.

When not fighting, the soldiers would discuss and look forward to the future life when they heard the artillery fire from the enemy. They called Xia Yuan to imagine what the future life would be like.

Xia Yuan said: "Everyone can eat enough, and if you want to add meat to the meal, you can add it."

To be very simple, he can't tell how tall the tall buildings will be in the future, how fast the four-wheeled cars will run, and how he can meet the person he wants to see with a mobile phone, because that is the soldier in front of him Things that we can't imagine, just like when the soldiers met the plane for the first time, they have never seen the plane, don't know what it is, let alone why an iron bastard flies in the sky, but they know , This thing is very powerful, it can beat your comrades until you can't even find their corpses.

It's as if human beings today don't imagine alien spaceships.

Use the lack of money in the future to define what Xia Yuan said to the soldiers, "Everyone can have enough food, and if you want to add meat to the meal, you can add it." ’ It’s like using the 21st century to look forward to a few decades later, ‘We have more money than we can spend’ is the same.

Eating is a very luxurious thing in this era, especially for people who have experienced the feudal era.

Having enough to eat is almost the same metaphor as 'having money you can't spend' in the future.

The soldiers leaned against the wall, fantasizing about what Xia Yuan said, with longing and hope on their faces, and their eyes were unusually bright. In this age of faith that will never be lost, isn't their goal just to defend their home and country? Is it to fight off the invaders so that family and friends can have enough food?

Xia Yuan is also looking forward to, when the battle is over, he must have a good meal.

The faces of Squad Leader Hu, Deputy Squad Leader Li, Platoon Leader Sun, Company Commander Gao, and Instructor Lin appeared in his mind. Their faces were intertwined in front of his eyes, and then the images of those sacrificed soldiers appeared, followed by The tug-of-war continued, and there were too many soldiers who rushed to the enemy group with the blasting tube and died together with the enemy.
