Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 193
After arranging the volunteer soldiers from the third-company cooking class of the Sharp Knife Company next to the large pine forest more than 200 meters south of their trenches and air-raid shelters, Sun Lei returned to the trenches with three rows and two A squad of people continued to perform the task of guarding around the hillside.

When there was no ration to eat before, within the three companies of the Sharp Knife Company, whether it was letting the soldiers of that platoon come out of the air-raid shelter and follow the platoon leader to the trench to perform the task of guarding the surrounding hillside, they all complained.

Because of their very hungry stomachs, the soldiers felt that they were squatting in the air-raid shelter, at least they could sleep for a while when they were hungry, or eat one or two pine nuts.

But if you went to the trenches outside, you would be fine if you wanted to sleep. Although the temperature at night was minus [-] degrees, the temperature inside the air-raid shelter was about five degrees higher than that in the trenches outside.

In addition, there is a cold wind blowing in the trenches outside. Those who understand don’t want it. Let the soldiers stay in the trenches outside for eight hours at a time. It would be strange if no one complained.

Of course, the soldiers had complaints in their hearts, but in the end they all carried out the task assigned by their respective platoon leaders to guard the trenches outside. After all, they understood the principle that military orders cannot be violated on the battlefield.

Now compared with a few hours ago, the situation has changed greatly. All the people in the Sharp Knife Company, from the company commanders and instructors to the ordinary soldiers, have been allocated rations according to the amount set by Sun Lei.

Moreover, in the ration of each person, there are canned beef, compressed biscuits, and bread to eat. With this level of food, even the soldiers of the Korean army stationed in the battalion stationed in Xiajieyu would be envious.

What's more, everyone in the Sharp Knife Company, in addition to the guarantee of rations and the greatly improved food level, also has thick cashmere blankets, windproof scarves and brand new cotton socks.

It can be said that at this moment, the volunteer soldiers of the third company of the sharp knife company did not have any worries at once. After performing the security mission in the trench, I immediately got the response from all three rows of soldiers in the air-raid shelter, without even frowning.

Originally, two squads were enough, but in the end, the entire third platoon and five squads, except for the five members of the machine gun team who stayed in the air-raid shelter, followed Sun Lei, the platoon leader, to the outside. It can be said that there are so many people in the trenches to perform the task of guarding the surrounding hillsides.

Feng Pengju, the platoon leader of the third platoon who took over from them, and the two soldiers of the third platoon were shocked when they saw this situation.

According to Sun Lei's instructions, the three rows of volunteer soldiers from the five squads he led took their positions in the trenches outside, and then squatted down in place to eat canned beef, compressed biscuits and bread.

In addition, after more than ten minutes, the soldiers in the cooking class cooked a large pot of delicious dehydrated vegetable soup. The soldiers who had felt a little cold before immediately warmed up, and their hands and feet became cold. hot.

But an hour later, at about three o'clock in the middle of the night, Sun Lei opened his sleepy eyes and inspected the soldiers of his third row and five squads from the guard position in the trench. I found a very serious problem in my opinion.

That is, before this, the soldiers of these five squads were still in high spirits, but after an hour or so after eating and drinking enough, suddenly at least half of the soldiers were leaning on the inner wall of one side of the trench He fell asleep soundly.

After less than a minute of thinking, Sun Lei found the reason. He felt that these soldiers must not have slept well during the time spent starving on these two sets.

And an hour ago, they had stuffed their stomachs, wore gloves on their hands, cotton socks on their necks, and scarves around their necks, which greatly enhanced the effect of preventing cold and keeping warm, so it was no wonder they didn't sleep.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Lei hurriedly asked the instructor Wang Wenju who was on duty at night, and the company commander Zhao Yifa had already fallen asleep. Neither Sun Lei nor the instructor Wang Wenju could bear to call the company commander Zhao Yifa Awake.

After the instructor Wang Wenju listened to the situation reported by Sun Lei alone, he immediately made a decision to agree to Sun Lei's request and give each of the soldiers in the three rows and five squads under his leadership a cup of coffee.

In the view of the instructor at this time, Wang Wenju, anyway, there is a lot of coffee powder, so it is not unreasonable for the soldiers in charge of security tasks at night to drink coffee to refresh themselves.If you don't drink it, keep the coffee powder, maybe it will go bad and you won't be able to drink it later.

After receiving this instruction from the instructor Wang Wenju, Sun Lei did not disturb the cooking team who had already fallen asleep, but ran to a place more than 200 meters away from the south side of the trench by himself, set up a large pot, and collected a large amount of food. A pile of dry pine branches lit the fire.

Then put the quick white snow from the surroundings into the big pot. It is estimated that it took about an hour before there was half of the pot of hot water, and the clean snow within 50 meters around was all gone. He got him to boil water.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Lei took out a large bag of coffee powder, put it into the half pot of boiling water, stirred it for 2 minutes, and the brewed coffee was done.

Sun Lei, who had been busy for a long time, didn't dare to delay even a moment, and hurried back to the trench 200 meters away to wake up the soldiers who were in charge of security tasks but were still sleeping soundly, so that Each of them took their own eating jars or bowls, and went to the big pot 200 meters away to the south to drink the brewed coffee.

Let the soldiers who fell asleep just now scoop up coffee. After they came back, Sun Lei asked the remaining half of the soldiers to scoop up coffee. In the end, there were no more, no less, and two bowls of coffee left. Sun Lei I drank a bowl by myself, and gave the other bowl to the instructor Wang Wenju.

Not to mention, this coffee really refreshes and warms up the body. After all of them drank the hot and steaming coffee, their bodies were much warmer than before, and no one slept or took naps anymore. Dozed off, I persisted until dawn.
