Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

"Keep all these soils, pile them together and don't throw them away."

Jolin directed by holding a burning branch.

A hole with a diameter of about one meter and a depth of eighty centimeters was dug. Even if Qiao Lin didn't say anything, the soldiers knew what it was for.

The firewood picked up earlier was folded into half a meter long, thrown into the pit, and then lit.

Soon, a ball of fire emerged from the pit, burning very vigorously.

"Quick, throw these potatoes in."

Jolin picked up a bunch of potatoes and threw them directly into the pit.

The soldiers pushed all the potatoes in with their hands and feet, smashing sparks and making a crackling sound.

Then the soil dug out before was covered, but the cover was not tight, but the hole was roughly filled up.

After completing these tasks, the soldiers lit a fire on the filled pit. Everyone squatted down around the campfire, warming themselves while waiting for the potatoes to be cooked.

The beating flames turned everyone's faces red, filled with joyful smiles.

Roasting potatoes in the wild made everyone seem to have regained the feeling of childhood. The sense of oppression brought about by the war was relieved a lot, and the mood also relaxed.

The soldiers turned into curious babies one by one, asking Qiao Lin various questions one after another.

They all passed the one-week selection and were newly joined Dark Blade fighters. Although they had heard a lot about Qiao Lin, the company commander, they were still full of curiosity.

Except for some things that he really couldn't reveal that were covered up by him, Qiao Lin basically answered every question.

It turned out that the company commander was less than 19 years old, younger than himself.

I didn't expect the company commander to go through so many things.

It turns out that the company commander, like us, started as an ordinary soldier.

... ...

Various thoughts welled up in the hearts of the soldiers, and the most admiration for Qiao Lin was the most.

The same age, completely different experience, no one feels unconvinced, Qiao Lin can have today's status, can be so valued by the boss, all because of his own ability.

At the same time, the soldiers also secretly made up their minds, and for the first time set up a goal in their hearts that they wanted to pursue.

"It's almost time, let's get ready for dinner!"

Qiao Lin glanced at the time, stood up cheerfully, and pushed the fire aside with the soldiers.

The ground has been charred black, mixed with a lot of plant ash, and after a long time of grilling, it is steaming.

"Hiss! It's hot!"

A warrior tried to dig the soil with his hands, but he retracted as soon as he stretched it out.

"You stupid, just finished burning, isn't it hot?"

Jolin couldn't help teasing him.

The soldiers dug up the soil with wooden sticks, baked at high temperature for several hours, the moisture in the soil has been evaporated, and it became extremely soft, and the potatoes buried in the pit were dug out with almost no effort.

The potatoes were piled in the pit one by one, and they were not burnt. Except for some dirt on the skin, they looked quite clean.

Jolin reached into the pit and picked one out. It was very hot, and he kept throwing potatoes back and forth between his hands.

After the temperature dropped a little, I gently broke it with my hands, and the egg-sized potatoes split into two halves, emitting bursts of aroma.

"Why are you looking at me? Take it yourself, wait for me to feed you?"

Seeing that the soldiers were all staring at him expectantly, Qiao Lin said speechlessly.

Only then did the soldiers come to their senses, and they swarmed up to pick up potatoes from the pit. From time to time, some people would yell loudly from being burned.

"Company commander, why are these potatoes red, are they really edible?"

After some soldiers broke open the potatoes, they found that the color inside was not the yellow-white color they usually see, so they hesitated to eat it.

The fruit of wild potatoes is actually pink, but this is at night, and when illuminated by the fire, the pink color also turns into a bright red.

"Be hungry if you don't dare to eat."

Qiao Lin took a bite and chewed slowly.

Seeing that the company commander dared to eat, everyone immediately gave up their worries and started eating.

Compared with common potatoes, wild potatoes have a softer taste and a slightly sweet taste, which seems to be more delicious.

It is a great comfort to the body and the mind to be able to eat warm food in the cold weather. After the soldiers had a feast of potatoes, the cold and hunger were all swept away, and they continued to chat around the bonfire happily. .

"Company commander, shall we still dig potatoes and eat them tomorrow?"

Soldiers who have already prepared for a rainy day are already thinking about what to eat tomorrow.

"It depends on the situation, but this kind of wild potatoes cannot be eaten often. If conditions permit, let's try to hunt tomorrow and have a tooth-fighting festival."

Qiao Lin said with a smile, causing cheers from the soldiers again.

They are all young people, and they are more or less playful, especially now that their stomachs are full. For them, hunting means entertainment far more than practical significance.

That night, the soldiers guarded the bonfire and slowly fell asleep. Although they would be woken up by the cold wind blowing from time to time, they were already very satisfied.

At the same time, the soldiers of the various teams in other directions were complaining endlessly, and the feeling of hunger and cold never stopped. Let alone sleeping, even squatting down to rest for a while was an extravagant hope.

The later the night, the lower the temperature. The soldiers can only run and do exercises non-stop to keep their bodies warm, otherwise they will soon be frozen.

But exercising requires a lot of physical strength, and the soldiers who were already hungry were so hungry that they suddenly felt that this way of training was even more cruel than fighting.

Once a battle broke out, the soldiers couldn't care about anything else. They only had one thought in their minds, which was to defeat the enemy.

But at this moment, they couldn't control their thoughts at all, and couldn't help but recall the beds in the barracks and the meals in the cafeteria.

"There are still three hours."

Yu Congrong looked at his watch and counted the time of dawn. He felt that the time passed too slowly, and even suspected that the watch on his wrist was broken, and the interval between the beating of the second hand was too long.

He wished he could take off the cover of the watch and turn the hour hand with his hands, so that the time would pass faster and he would be freed from this torture earlier.

Chapter 190 The Chase Caused by the Hare

The dawn was slightly dewed in the sky, and the difficult night finally passed.

The soldiers spent the first day in this wilderness.

Facing the rising sun in the east, many soldiers opened their arms, wanting to embrace the sun from the bottom of their hearts.

"Assemble, ready to hurry, and pay attention along the way, see if you can find something to eat."

A small team leader shouted vigorously, hoping to complete the [-]-kilometer mission first while the soldiers still have physical support.

"Assemble, don't need to start yet, have an early meeting to discuss how to solve the problem of food and heating."

There are also small captains who have begun to seek solutions to the most pressing problems at hand.

There are all kinds of people, and soldiers are no exception.

The thirteen dark blade teams, like copying and pasting, experienced the same torture in different places, and began to change slowly.

"Captain, there are footprints here."

A sharp-eyed soldier found footprints on the snow, and after identification, it was determined that they were left by hares.

The snow near the footprints is very soft and shows no signs of freezing, indicating that it was not left for a long time, and it is very likely that it was left by the hares when they came out to look for food at night or even in the early morning.

This discovery was no less than the discovery of a treasure, and the soldiers who were listless immediately regained their spirits.

What can a hare do?

It can be used to eat.

At this moment, the thinking of the soldiers has directly crossed over to the level of roasting hares, completely ignoring the two most important issues of how to catch hares and how to make a fire.

Once you have a goal, you have to pursue it desperately. This is the instinct that the Dark Blade fighters have subtly developed during their long-term training.

Without this determination, they would not have persisted in such high-intensity training.

Wild rabbits are very common in the wilderness, especially in winter, the chances of being spotted are higher.

Because there is less food in winter, in order to forage, hares spend most of the day looking for food, so they will also leave footprints on the snow.

Now these footprints have become the hope of the soldiers.

Of course, catching wild rabbits is a technical job, and it is not easy to catch them if you want to. Most fighters have no experience in this area, so they can only use the most stupid method, chasing along the footprints.

In the previous training, Qiao Lin had done training on footprint tracking, so the soldiers could easily identify which direction the hare was running in.

As a result, this morning, the teams that had disagreements in their scheduled plans regained their tacit understanding by accident. Basically, they were either looking for hares, or they were on their way to chase hares.

The same goes for the temporary team led by Qiao Lin.

The soldiers can't be blamed for doing nothing. Under such difficult conditions, any sliver of hope is worth going all out for.

No matter how hard the soldiers train and how tough they fight, they are still human beings. They will be hungry if they have no food, and they will be cold if they have no fire.

Although Qiao Lin has always dreamed of turning the dark blade into a super army, so that everyone in the soldiers can become a super soldier, the kind that is invulnerable to fire and water.

But it is clear that this idea is still only in the stage of fantasy, and there is still a long way to go before it becomes a reality.

The running speed of hares in the snow can reach more than [-] kilometers per hour, almost eight times that of humans.

Although the soldiers have greatly improved their running speed after training and the blessing of combat value, it is undoubtedly very unrealistic to catch up with the hare on foot.

So no one can dream of catching up with the hare with their own two legs, and everyone pins their hopes on finding the hare's old nest along these footprints.

The running direction of the hare is not fixed, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, and sometimes even turn back the same way.

As a result, in this vast wilderness, more than 100 Dark Blade fighters shuttled back and forth, and took a lot of wrong roads.

"Captain, I found that this rabbit is too good at running. We chased it for dozens of kilometers, but we didn't even see a shadow."

Some soldiers finally couldn't help complaining after chasing for several hours.

Rabbit meat is delicious when you think about it, but after the excitement at the beginning, the soldiers gradually calmed down, and then slowly realized how difficult it is to eat this meat.

"It should be almost there, keep going, the rabbit is waving to us right ahead."

Yu Congrong cheered up the soldiers.

In fact, most squad leaders are doing the same thing.
