Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 150 Lighting the Torch
"set off!"

Company Commander Zhao Yifa first took out his old pocket watch from his pocket, and looked down at the time. It was now five past seven in the evening, which was 10 minutes later than the original scheduled departure time. He looked up again, and found that all the volunteer soldiers of the [-]rd company of the sharp knife company standing in front of him had changed into the uniforms of South Korean soldiers, so he hurriedly issued orders loudly.

The more than 100 volunteer soldiers of the third company of the Sharp Knife Company, who were ready to go, turned around in unison when they heard the order from the company commander Zhao Yifa, and ran towards the south.

According to the previously agreed marching route and plan, the platoon led by Sun Lei, as the front troops of the third company of the sharp knife company, walked at the forefront, and behind them were the volunteer soldiers of the second company and the third company them.

These three platoons are separated by a distance of about 200 meters, mainly for the purpose of lying down or hiding in platoon units in case of an emergency during the march, so as to distract the enemy's attention.

If it was put in the past, the Volunteer Army troops would not be able to light up with big torches during the march, even in the dark night. If their identities were exposed, they would be attacked by the US-South Korea coalition forces on the way .

What's more terrible is that since the Volunteer Army entered the Korean Peninsula to fight, it has basically lost its air supremacy. Although most of the U.S. military's aircraft are in the daytime, they will occasionally make surprise attacks at night. , If this is to light up the torch on land, it will undoubtedly become a living target for the bombing target of the US military aircraft.

Of course, although doing this greatly reduces the risk of exposure, the disadvantages are not without it. Since the volunteer army entered North Korea to fight for more than a month, dozens of cases have been sent out by the volunteer army. The lost situation.

But this time it was very different. When all the volunteer soldiers of Sharp Sword Company and Sanlan left about five kilometers south of Pyongyang City, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju saw the darkness of the night and rushed to the place marked on the map. After the main road leading to this place in Xiajieyu, the two of them called the orderly and issued a notice.

The content of this notice is to ask the soldiers in each platoon to light the torches prepared in advance, and in a short while, they will illuminate the dark night wherever they go, and illuminate the road and surrounding areas. Things around 20 meters can be seen clearly, and the marching speed has also accelerated a lot.

And the idea of ​​lighting the torches during the night march, needless to say, was also given by Sun Lei to the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju in advance. Only the three of them, as well as the second platoon leader Liu Yiming and the third platoon leader Feng Pengju, knew about it. The fighters knew nothing about it.

Especially the volunteer soldiers marching in the front row saw Sun Lei, as the platoon leader, let several soldiers in the platoon light the torches, which made them feel a little worried about this in their hearts, for fear of being exposed because of this. After leaving them, some people found Sun Lei for questioning.

"Platoon leader, isn't the purpose of our driving at night to ensure safety? If we light the torches, won't we be exposed immediately?" Sun Shulin, a volunteer soldier in a row, trotted forward for more than ten meters. When walking side by side with Sun Lei, he asked worriedly.

Just as Sun Shulin finished speaking, Wang Erkui followed closely behind and continued to ask Sun Lei: "Yes, platoon leader, our first platoon is in the lead, and we walk in front of the second and third platoons. If we are exposed to the enemy If we were the first to be exposed in the first row, then wouldn’t we become living targets for the enemies hiding in the dark?”

Not only Sun Shulin and Wang Erkui were puzzled by this, after the two of them finished asking, many soldiers in the row also booed and asked their platoon leader Sun Lei about this question, and everyone was very happy. Show a worried look.

Facing the questions from a row of soldiers, Sun Lei first slowed down his pace and glanced at them, then patiently explained: "Comrades, don't worry, let me explain to you slowly.

"The purpose of our marching at night is of course for safety, but now each of us is wearing the military uniform of South Korean soldiers, which means that we are pretending to be South Korean troops. Even if the enemy hiding in the dark finds us, we will not would rashly attack them.

"Furthermore, the purpose of setting up this torch is to let the enemies hiding in the dark, as well as the US military planes that may be performing missions in the air, see our existence. They see that we are a small group of South Korean troops. soldiers, then we are safe. Comrades, put your hearts in your stomachs and everything will be fine."

The soldiers in the row who were worried about this just now, after listening to Sun Lei's explanation, suddenly realized that the purpose of lighting the torches was to deliberately expose their existence to the US-South Korea coalition forces. , they were a little relieved.

Except for the soldiers in the first row, the other soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company and the Third Company all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the explanations given by the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, as well as the second platoon leader Liu Yiming and the third platoon leader Feng Pengju.

From 50:[-] p.m. on the first night, volunteer soldiers from the Sharp Knife Company left Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, which had just been retaken. Until [-]:[-] a.m. the next morning, they lit torches for almost a night in the dark night. They were not chased and intercepted by the enemy, and the journey went very smoothly, with a total of more than [-] kilometers on foot.

Although it is not fast to walk more than 50 kilometers in one night, you must know that this is in an icy and snowy environment. Even if you are walking on a large road, the road is covered by heavy snow that fell a few days ago. The ground on the road is not slippery, and they have to rest in place from time to time during the march.

Taking the actual situation at that time as an example, this marching speed is already not slow.

Originally, the night road after driving all night was very smooth, but at just over six o'clock the next morning, when the soldiers of the sharp knife company and the third company were resting on the road with no village in front and no shop in the back, suddenly The roar of planes was heard from the south.

At this time, Sun Lei judged from the different voices that there were at least five planes flying from the south, and the US and South Korean coalition forces were all retreating south. Eighty-nine belonged to the US military.

At this time, the sky was gradually brightening. Ten minutes ago, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju asked the soldiers of the whole company to extinguish the torches. After all, they would be useful when they were on their way the next night.
