Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 163
"Commander, come quickly!" Company Commander Zhao Yifa looked left and right, pointed at the messenger squatting more than 20 meters away, made a "come" gesture, and shouted in a slightly anxious tone: .

Without saying a word, the messenger rushed over at a trot and stood in front of company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju.

Immediately afterwards, the company commander Zhao Yifa continued to say to the messenger: "Pass on my order, the time for the large forces to besiege Xiajieyu has been postponed, and now, our soldiers of the third company of the sharp knife company will continue to dig trenches until dawn." .

"To the platoon leaders of the first, second and third platoons, we should dig air-raid shelters on both sides of our trenches by squad. There may be bombing on the hillside where we are, and we just hid in the air-raid shelter for shelter. During the day, we can hide in the air-raid shelter and rest for a whole day."

When the company commander Zhao Yifa finished speaking, the messenger hurriedly conveyed the person who dug the air-raid shelter to the second platoon leader Liu Yiming and the third platoon leader Feng Pengju.

Since Sun Lei, the platoon leader, was in front of the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, and the company commander Zhao Yifa issued the task of digging the air-raid shelter, he heard the content of the task clearly, so naturally he would not let the order Bing no longer wastes his time.

After three and a half hours of digging the trenches just now, the volunteer soldiers who have already made three companies with sharp knives are exhausted. If they are allowed to continue digging air-raid shelters, in the eyes of the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, it is really inhumane .

But the problem is that they have no other way now. According to the instructions in the telegram sent by the regiment headquarters, if they want to continue to stick to this hillside without letting the enemy find out, they can only hide in the air-raid shelter during the day.

Otherwise, as soon as the U.S. military planes fly close to the low altitude, they will be fully exposed on this hillside, and the U.S. military planes randomly drop dozens of bombs on this hillside, and it is estimated that they will all be killed in a row of sharp knives.

It can be said that under the helpless situation, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju had no choice but to adopt the method proposed by Sun Lei to continue digging the air-raid shelter.

At first, when the soldiers of the third company of the Sharp Knife Company heard that the company commander Zhao Yifa had issued the task of continuing to dig the air-raid shelter, most of them felt very puzzled by this, but after the active propaganda of the three platoon leaders, especially It was Sun Lei, the leader of the platoon, who made great publicity with emotion and reason, and the soldiers continued to dig the air-raid shelter as if they were beaten again.

In fact, Sun Lei's method of convincing their platoon of fighters is actually very simple, that is, after digging the air-raid shelter, the entire platoon can hide in it, and there is almost no need to be afraid of the madness of the enemy's planes and cannons. Bombed.

Thinking that the air-raid shelter would have such a great effect, just from the perspective of protecting one's own name, the soldiers of the third company of the Sharp Knife Company all changed from hesitation at the beginning to active enthusiasm at this time. .

For the volunteer soldiers of the third company with sharp knives at this time, only a small number of them have a small number of tools such as military shovels in their hands, and most of them have removed the bayonets from their rifles. In the cold weather, he shoveled the soil with his bayonet in his hand.

There are also a small number of soldiers, the guns they are equipped with are not rifles, and they do not carry other tools such as military shovels. permafrost.

It was already about 01:30 at night, the temperature was below minus [-] degrees, and the surface of the hillside was covered with ice and snow, and the soil under the ice and snow was naturally frozen. Use a military shovel or a bayonet Digging down is very difficult, let alone bare hands.

Like Li Sihai, a soldier with three companies and one row of sharp knives, he is a row of machine gunners. It can be said that he neither carries tools such as military shovels, nor is he equipped with a bayonet-mounted rifle. In desperation, he has no choice but to dig with his bare hands.

In less than half an hour, the machine gunner Li Sihai had already torn both hands, bleeding continuously, and the frozen soil dug out was pitifully small.

Even so, Li Sihai gritted his teeth and continued to persist, without any intention of backing down, because he knew that if he could dig out more frozen soil, the other soldiers would also have less frozen soil. If you let him idle, he will definitely not do it.

Among the soldiers of the entire third company of the Sharp Knife Company, there were no fewer than 30 soldiers like Li Sihai digging the soil with their bare hands. The company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju discovered this situation when they inspected the whole company. Let them both feel bad about it.

Faced with the persuasion of the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, the more than 30 soldiers who dug the soil with their bare hands agreed, but when they found out that the company commander and the instructor turned around and left, they quickly threw themselves into the action of digging the soil with their bare hands. , and no one wants to stop and quit.

Of course, those soldiers who carried a small number of military shovels and a large number of bayonets had their hands worn out and blue and purple in less than two hours of digging.

The reason for this is because none of them owns gloves, and they put their hands directly in the cold wind and low temperature environment. Looking at the entire series of sharp knives, everyone's hands are broken The skin was bleeding.

After the hard work of all the staff of the Sharp Knife Company, it took about five hours from about 01:30 at night to 06:30 in the morning, and finally dug the air-raid shelter for the established task.

When all the staff stopped, they all collapsed on the ground, and they didn't even have the strength to get up and walk. They all sat on the ground and panted heavily, and they were all full of heat. Sweating profusely and profusely.

When the sky was just getting bright, it was about seven o'clock in the morning the next day. The company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju hurriedly let all the soldiers of the third company of the sharp knife company hide in the air-raid shelter to rest. Without his order, any No one is allowed to come out.

In addition, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju called the three platoon leaders, Sun Lei, Liu Yiming, and Feng Pengju, who were exhausted, to the front, and asked him to pick at least three people from their respective platoons after half an hour, and take turns to be in charge. The guard of the trench air-raid shelter changes every two hours.

Regarding the order issued by company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju, who were out of breath, felt a little reluctant in their hearts, but had no other choice, so they had no choice but to express no objection to this, and nodded in agreement. .

Anyway, from the point of view of the two of them, Sun Lei and the others will perform the security tasks for the first two hours in a row, and they can at least rest for two more hours. Not bad.
