Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 155
"Instructor, according to the principle of democracy, I choose the minority to obey the majority." Sun Lei thought for a moment, looked at the instructor Wang Wenju sitting opposite him with helpless eyes, and shook his head slightly to express his opinion.

Immediately, he turned his attention to the company commander Zhao Yifa who was sitting next to the instructor Wang Wenju, and continued: "Since the company commander and the other two platoon leaders believe that digging trenches is important, in my opinion, it is better to dig trenches first." Let’s talk about it after digging. Anyway, we don’t have much time left to dig trenches, at most it’s less than four hours.”

The content of the telegram received by Jiandaorensanlian from the outskirts of Pyongyang showed that they were required to arrive at the hillside five kilometers south of Hagaru-ri before midnight on the second day, and cooperate with the A large force of volunteers attacking Xiajieyuli stopped the US-South Korea allied forces retreating south.

What needs to be pointed out is that at the beginning, the troops stationed in the military fortress of Xiajieyu were originally only the US-Korea coalition forces. The coalition dominates.

Originally, the instructor Wang Wenju thought that Sun Lei would speak on his side, but what he never expected was that at this critical moment, Sun Lei actually "rebelled" and turned to the company commander Zhao Yifa. He secretly felt angry about this in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

After a long sigh, the instructor Wang Wenju said in a helpless tone: "Well, since everyone agrees to let the soldiers rest in place for half an hour, they will immediately start digging trenches on the hillside. Although there are some objections to this, I still obey the consensus reached by everyone just now,”

Since, in the end, even the instructor Wang Wenju, who held objections, agreed, the company commander Zhao Yifa immediately ordered the first platoon leader Sun Lei, the second platoon leader Liu Yiming, and the third platoon leader Feng Pengju who were sitting opposite him to immediately inform them that they were resting in place. The soldiers in their respective platoons had about 10 minutes left to rest in place and eat more fried noodles that they carried with them.

As soon as the time to rest in place was over, they immediately started digging trenches, mobilizing all the members of the Third Company of the Sharp Knife Company, from the instructors and company commanders down to ordinary soldiers, to join in.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Lei, Liu Yiming, and Feng Pengju bid farewell to company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and immediately returned to their respective platoons, conveying company commander Zhao Yifa's latest instructions to the soldiers in the platoon.

"What? Platoon leader, we have walked more than 150 kilometers a day in the past two nights, and we have just arrived at the destination of the march. The comrades are exhausted, and none of them are exhausted.

"It's good this time, we only need to rest for half an hour, and then let us start digging trenches on the spot, our bodies are not made of iron, and the weather is so cold at night, it's more than [-] below zero There is really no way to do this job of digging trenches." Wang Erkui, a soldier in the three companies and one row of the sharp knife company, listened to Sun Lei, the platoon leader, read out the latest instructions from the company commander Zhao Yifa. He jumped out, and immediately expressed his objection to this, complaining about it.

Immediately after him, Sun Shulin, a soldier sitting not far from him, also said with a look of embarrassment: "I said, Platoon Leader Sun, we are all at the forefront of this march. They have more physical strength than the comrades in the second and third rows behind.

"Also, along the way, the soldiers in our platoon ate very little of the chow mein they carried with them, so we only need to supplement such a small amount of rations. If we come to dig trenches, considering the actual situation, our physical strength is not enough at all. Just can't keep up."

"Don't let the big guys dig trenches for more than three hours, just dig for one hour. It is estimated that many people in our platoon will fall to the ground due to lack of energy. If at this time, someone gets sick If not, it will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness."

Hearing what Wang Erkui and Sun Shulin said, the other volunteer soldiers who were sitting together in a row also voiced their opposition one after another, like overwhelming mountains and seas. Suddenly, Sun Lei's mind was blown. up.

But to be honest, what the instructor Wang Wenju and the soldiers in the row said was not unreasonable. Most of the people in the sharp knife company now dragged their exhausted bodies and finally arrived at the marching destination. Take a good rest, wait until more than three hours later, stay on this hillside, and wait for work to block the US-South Korean coalition forces retreating south from Xiajieyu-ri in the north.

This is a good thing, only half an hour of rest time is given, and a lot of physical strength will be expended immediately to dig trenches. Moreover, they still have a very big problem of lack of clothing and food.

The fried noodles that almost all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company carry with them are not enough for two meals. In order to replenish their strength, before digging the trenches, even the few fried noodles left must be eaten. It must be clean.

But the problem is, if they finish eating all the fried noodles tonight, they will have to fight hungry in the next few days, which will definitely have a negative impact on morale.

Not only the soldiers in the first row had a loud backlash, but also the second row where Liu Yiming was in and the third row where Feng Pengju was. , have clearly expressed their opposition.

Just now, the voices of opposition from the soldiers in the row were still very high. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Sun Lei gave to the soldiers in the row. It took less than 5 minutes for the soldiers in the row to listen to him. Their attitudes have undergone a 180-degree change in what they said, from all opposing it just now, to now supporting it.

After learning about this incident, Zhao Yifa, the company commander with furious eyebrows, felt that if he did not dig trenches to fight this blocking battle, the casualties would definitely be huge. The momentary objections of the soldiers stopped there.

After thinking about it for a while, the company commander Zhao Yifa hurriedly called the messenger who was not far away, and asked him to call Sun Lei over, because at this moment, it seems that this is the only person who is usually scheming. The guy can help him convince the soldiers of the whole company. Apart from this, he can't think of any other good way, so he can only pin his hopes on Sun Lei.

In the eyes of the company commander Zhao Yifa at this time, after all, just now, Sun Lei relied on his three-inch tongue to convince the soldiers in the row. Since he was able to convince the soldiers in the row, then He can still persuade the other fighters with the sharp knife.
