Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 162 Keep Persevering
"Xiao Wu, come here for a moment. I am ordering you to send a telegram to the regiment headquarters immediately, and ask when our volunteer army will launch an attack on Xiajieyu." The company commander Zhao Yi was stunned, pondering After waiting for a while, he called the telegraph operator Wu Cheng to the front, and ordered in an orderly tone.

As soon as Company Commander Zhao Yifa finished speaking, the telegraph operator Wu Cheng standing in front of him immediately replied: "Okay, Company Commander, I will send a telegram to the regiment headquarters to inquire about the time according to your instruction just now."

The telegraph operator Wu Cheng had just turned around and was about to leave when the instructor standing aside also said in an anxious tone: "Comrade Xiao Wu, you go and come back quickly, the company commander and I are still waiting for the regiment to reply." What about the telegram?"

After turning around again, the telegraph operator Wu Cheng immediately assured the instructor Wang Wenju, patted his chest: "Instructor, don't worry, as long as the regiment headquarters replies to the telegram, after I write the translation, I will definitely come to report to you as soon as possible." Instructor, you still have the report from the company commander."

After finishing speaking, the telegraph operator Wu Cheng bent his waist, leaned down, and trotted all the way in the trench to the place where the radio station was located more than 100 meters away.

According to common sense, if it is placed in a higher place, the signal of the radio will be better, and on the hillside of about [-] where they are located, the radio station is placed at the highest position .

After listening to the conversation between telegraph operator Wu Cheng, company commander Zhao Yifa, and instructor Wang Wenju, Sun Lei couldn't help but groan in his heart, secretly feeling that something was wrong.

In his opinion at this time, if the regiment headquarters can really determine the time to arrive at Xiajieyu and launch the siege, then the regiment headquarters will definitely put the exact time in the telegram that Wu Cheng received from the regiment headquarters just now. The time told them that the sharp knives were in quick succession.

The reason why the regiment headquarters did not disclose the specific time in the telegram to them just now is because the regiment headquarters may not be able to determine the specific time when they will be able to arrive at Xiajieyu, let alone the time for the siege. talked about.

After thinking about this, Sun Lei felt that this problem should be left to the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju to solve it. Anyway, he had just completed the investigation task, and now he has nothing to do, so he quickly sent a love letter to the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju. The position where they were in the first row joined the volunteer soldiers in the row.

Regarding Sun Lei's request for instructions, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju said in unison almost at the same time without thinking: "Comrade Sun Lei, don't rush to leave, wait until Comrade Xiao Wu brings the regimental hair." The telegram came, when the time comes, you can help the two of us with the combat deployment."

Seeing that the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju had both spoken, Sun Lei had no choice but to stay and wait for the results of the regiment's reply to the telegram. Anyway, he felt that the telegram replied by the regiment headquarters should not be much different from his prediction just now.

Sure enough, less than 5 minutes later, the telegraph operator Wu Cheng trotted all the way to the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, and handed over the translation of the telegram replied by the regiment headquarters.

After receiving the translation of the telegram from Wu Cheng's hand, the company commander Zhao Yifa was immediately dumbfounded, because the contents of the telegram replied by the regiment headquarters turned out to be: I don't know the exact time yet, and you have been working hard without revealing your true identity. , continue to stick to the position, and when the large forces arrive at Xiajieyu, they will contact your department as soon as possible and inform you of the specific combat time.

After seeing the content of the telegram sent by the regiment headquarters, the company commander Zhao Yifa immediately felt cold, and secretly complained in his heart: I don't even know the exact time, why are we sticking to this hillside? Time is the head.

What's more, now most of the soldiers of our Sharp Knife Company [-]rd Company have eaten all the rations they carry - fried noodles. If not, then our sharp knife company may starve to death.

After a long sigh, the company commander Zhao Yifa handed over the telegram to the instructor Wang Wenju who was squatting beside him, shook his head lightly and said, "Oh, Lao Wang, hurry up and read the content of the telegram sent by the regiment headquarters. It is estimated that it will suffer."

The instructor Wang Wenju took the telegram and looked at it carefully. He froze in place at that moment, pretending to be silent, with a more serious expression on his face.

Seeing the sad faces of the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, Sun Lei immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. I'm afraid his guess that something bad happened just now came true.

"Platoon Leader Sun, this is the content of the telegram sent to us by the regiment headquarters, please read it too." Instructor Wang Wenju handed the telegram in front of Sun Lei, and after Sun Lei took it, he The subject changed, and in a somewhat urging tone, he hurriedly said: "Comrade Sun Lei, after you read the content of this telegram, tell us your own opinion, what should we do next."

Since Sun Lei joined the Sharp Knife Company, both the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju have trusted and appreciated him very much, but whenever they encounter difficult things, they will ask Sun Lei to think of some solutions at the first time come out.

Moreover, every time Sun Lei came up with a method, it was not a standard one. Sometimes, he even took a slant with his sword, but after being adopted by the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, the effect was still very good.

After reading the content of the telegram, Sun Lei felt that the problem of food shortage in front of them was probably not the top priority. The most difficult thing was to stick to this place without being discovered by the enemy, as stated in the telegram. On the hillside.

However, once it is daytime, the U.S. military will dispatch a large number of aircraft to perform reconnaissance and bombing missions in the air. Even if they hide in this trench with a length of about 150 meters, they can still do it at night. It has the effect of deceiving people's eyes, but if it is in the daytime, it will definitely be exposed to US military aircraft.

Without rations to eat, it should not be a problem for people to survive for three to five days under normal circumstances, but once they are exposed, the US military planes performing reconnaissance missions in the air only need to drop a dozen bombs. The whole army will be wiped out.

After much deliberation, Sun Lei finally thought of a temporary solution, and immediately approached company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and whispered in their ears.

Just now, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju were still full of sadness. After listening to what Sun Lei said, the two of them immediately beamed with joy and nodded, thinking that this method should be possible. Sun Lei gave a thumbs up.
