Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 158 Digging the Trenches

Although there are still about 10 minutes before the end of the rest in place, the volunteer soldiers of the three companies with sharp knives have already begun to move around, and they all put on a look of eagerness.

Not only that, but many volunteer soldiers expressed their opinions enthusiastically in front of the cadres in the Sharp Knife Company after eating the few fried noodles they had left.

No, among the volunteer soldiers in the three companies and one row of the sharp knife company, many people ran to the platoon leader Sun Lei, holding the excavating tools distributed before the march, such as engineering shovels, and using them Can't wait, you glanced at me and scrambled to speak first.

"Platoon leader, we have rested for such a long time just now, and everyone has almost eaten up all the fried noodles they carry. Now is the time when our physical strength is very abundant. Shouldn't our platoon be ahead of the other platoons in the company?" Comrades, did you take the lead in digging a temporary simple trench on the hillside at the foot of our platoon?" Wang Erkui, a volunteer soldier standing in front of the platoon leader Sun Lei, may have just eaten fried noodles. When he was choked, he hiccupped several times while asking confidently.

Before Sun Lei, who was the platoon leader, could reply, suddenly, a platoon of soldiers named Ma Sanxing stood in front of him. After taking Wang Erkui's words, he said: "Platoon leader, no matter what you think, anyway, I, Ma Sanxing, and many comrades in our platoon can't wait, and they are very active in responding to the company commander's call. Immediately start digging temporary trenches and make full preparations for the battle that will take place in more than three hours."

Ma Sanxing had just finished speaking, and then Sun Shulin, a soldier in the platoon of the Sharp Knife Company, also stood up at this time, walked up to the platoon leader Sun Lei, patted his chest, and vowed: "The platoon Sir, I, Sun Shulin, can assure you here that as long as you agree to start digging the temporary simple trenches now, we will definitely dig the simple trenches quickly and well, and be the first to complete the one explained in the company. The task of digging trenches. Stop standing still, platoon leader, and let us get started."

As soon as Sun Shulin's extremely provocative words fell, the soldiers surrounded by three companies and three companies of sharp knives began to second each other, according to what he saw. And, there were a total of 56 people in their platoon including himself, and at least 40 people expressed their opinions in front of him just now, which made his head grow big, but he still had a forced smile on his cheek.

"Okay, okay, comrades, don't be too impatient. According to the company commander's instructions, we have to rest in place for half an hour before we can dig temporary simple trenches." As the platoon leader Sun Lei, after listening to at least 40 volunteer soldiers in their row speaking enthusiastically, he didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of these people, so he began to appease them in a tactful tone: "I I have to tell my comrades in advance that digging trenches can't be done on a whim, let alone in such harsh conditions of freezing weather.

"If we can rest for 5 minutes more, we can rest a little longer. Only by nourishing our energy and maintaining ample physical strength can we have a continuity. It is not enough to rely on one's blood. I hope everyone can use the rest of the time." In the only 5 minutes or so, let's calm down first, we all have to do it at the same time."

From Sun Lei's statement, it is not difficult to see that he still poured a basin of cold water on the passionate row of soldiers, so that they could all be quiet and calm down. mood.

After Sun Lei finished speaking, the soldiers standing in front of him did not disperse because of this, but continued to stand in front of him, but they did not continue talking, but waited for the end of about 5 minutes 's arrival

Not only did the volunteer soldiers in the third and third platoons of the Sharp Knife Company start to express to the platoon leader Sun Lei that they would immediately start digging simple trenches after eating fried noodles, but also the second and third platoons of the Sharp Knife Company The Volunteer Soldiers were in high spirits, and Liu Yiming, the leader of the second platoon, and Feng Pengju, the leader of the third platoon, were also overwhelmed.

If it hadn't been for the company commander Zhao Yifa's exhortations in advance, no one would start digging simple trenches in advance until the rest time in place is over, otherwise, Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju would pass by the soldiers in their platoon With such agitation, it is estimated that they have already followed these soldiers into the operation of digging temporary simple trenches.

After waiting anxiously for about 5 minutes, Sun Lei, who was sitting on the snow on the hillside, looked down from time to time. The watch on his left wrist finally waited until the end of the rest time.

So, Sun Lei, who was still sitting in place just now, stood up immediately, and directed at the 55 volunteer soldiers standing in front of him in a row, and ordered in a loud voice: "The one who rests in place The time is up, comrades, dig the improvised trenches immediately."

According to the previous mission assigned by company commander Zhao Yifa, the simple trench they dug tonight was heading east, in order to stop the US-South Korea coalition forces fleeing south from the military fortress of Xiajieyu, five kilometers to the north.

Moreover, they were divided into three combat platoons and a cooking squad, and when they were resting in place, the three platoons, one, two, three, and the cooking squad were gathered together as a unit of soldiers.

Therefore, the same is true for the excavation of simple trenches this time. Let the three combat platoons and a cooking squad just rest in their original resting place. To assist the soldiers in the cooking class to dig simple trenches.

You must know that it is more than nine o'clock at night, the temperature has reached minus [-] degrees, and there is a heavy snow that just fell on the hillside in Shanghai a few days ago, and the height of the snow layer is about ten centimeters.

Moreover, once it was night, some of the melted snow water on the Bionian began to freeze again, forming a thick layer of ice, not to mention that they were in a mountainous area. For the soldiers, it should be said that it is not easy to excavate a length of about 100 meters in the direction of movement and maintain a height of one meter in more than three minutes.

Sun Lei had already thought of the aforementioned unfavorable factors before excavation, but he didn't tell anyone, because in his opinion, high morale might be able to overcome these natural and objective conditions.
