Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 26 Arrive Early
At about eleven o'clock that night, all 75 officers and soldiers of the third company of the Volunteer Army arrived at the ambush site five kilometers south of Wenjing an hour earlier than the scheduled time.

"Damn it, the terrain is high in the south and low in the north, with mountains in the south and flat land in the north. It is really suitable for blocking the enemy retreating from the warm well in the north. Moreover, the place where we are is a mountain, which can be used as a natural Fortifications, we just sit here and wait for work."

Zhao Yifa, the commander of the third company standing on the mountain on the south side, took advantage of the bright moonlight, picked up the old telescope, checked the surrounding terrain, stretched his brows, and looked at the third company standing beside him. Instructor Wang Wenju said in a somewhat happy tone.

After taking the old telescope from Zhao Yifa, Wang Wenju also tried to check the surrounding terrain, and it was exactly as Zhao Yifa said. The mountains on the south side where they were standing were much higher than the open flat land on the north side. More than [-] meters away, it is indeed a geomantic treasure land for ambushes.

After returning the dilapidated telescope to Zhao Yifa, Wang Wenju also said with a smile: "Old Zhao, don't mention it, the place where we are standing is really very suitable for ambushes.

"We don't have to do anything. After the battle over Wenjing starts, we will wait here for the enemies who escape from Wenjing's direction, and catch them by surprise, whether it is the Korean army, the US army, or the United Nations army, Let’s use the three companies as the Sharp Knife Company, and they can fight as many as they come.”

After saying this, Wang Wenju, the instructor of the third company with a smile on his face, suddenly remembered something, approached Zhao Yifa, who was standing aside, who was silly and happy, and lowered his voice, reminding: "However, Lao Zhao, let's take over this time. The interspersed combat mission assigned to the regiment is not just to stop the enemy retreating south from the direction of Onjing in the north. There is also a mission to cooperate with other companies to stop the reinforcements that may come from Yunshan."

As soon as Wang Wenju's words fell, Zhao Yifa, who was still cheerful just now, immediately frowned, took a long breath, bit his lips that were purple with cold, and said, "Old Wang, you reminded me, I was preoccupied with one task just now, but I forgot about another task.

"There are only 75 people left in our company. If there are enemies retreating south from Wenjing in the north, and a large number of reinforcements come from the direction of Yunshan, our company will inevitably be attacked by the enemy even though it occupies the commanding heights nearby. It seems that , our Sanlian is going to fight a fierce battle today."

Hearing Zhao Yifa finished speaking, Wang Wenju said with high spirits: "Our third company is the sharp knife company in the regiment. Whether it was during the Anti-Japanese War or the War of Liberation, we have always been famous for fighting vicious battles.

"Now, when we enter North Korea to fight, whether we encounter South Koreans or Americans, our third company will beat them up so that they can see how powerful our Chinese soldiers are."

However, when he got to this point, Wang Wenju changed the subject, and said to Zhao Yifa, who was standing aside with a dignified expression, in a negotiating tone: "Old Zhao, there is still half a hour before the regiment gives us an interspersed combat mission." the hour.

"We came all the way, in a world of ice and snow. We only rested for 10 minutes on the way. I found that many of our soldiers were tired, hungry and sleepy. It is better to let the soldiers rest for 10 minutes and wait until 55 in the evening. At [-]:[-], let's gather the team again and prepare for the ambush here."

Regarding this proposal from the instructor Wang Wenju, the company commander Zhao Yifa nodded and said: "As an instructor, you old Wang is more thoughtful. I think many soldiers in our company are really exhausted, especially those new recruits. Danzi, it’s good to let comrades have a good rest, so let’s do it.”

Therefore, the instructor Wang Wenju called the messenger not far away, and gave the order to rest in place for four to 10 minutes to each platoon leader, and then the platoon leader conveyed this order to each squad.

In less than a minute, all the officers and soldiers of the third company received an order to rest in place for four to ten minutes. The soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies and squatted on the untied marching backpacks to rest in place. As soon as I sat down, I fell asleep.

However, among the soldiers of the third company, Sun Lei, who was a new recruit, couldn't fall asleep even though his eyes were sleepy, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Hey, all the other fighters in our squad have fallen asleep, you grandson don't sleep and take a good rest, staring at your two big eyes, what are you thinking about?" When he was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, he caught a glimpse of Deng Sanshui sitting not five meters away from the corner of his eye. He opened his eyes and looked thoughtful. In a very curious tone, he asked in a low voice.

After glancing at Deng Sanshui who was close to her, Sun Lei whispered in a half-joking tone: "Old Deng, you said that in such a cold day, the temperature is estimated to be at least twenty degrees below zero. Once you close your eyes and fall asleep, if you can't wake up again, wouldn't you be dead.

After hearing this, Deng Sanshui immediately felt unhappy. He immediately raised the volume a little, and criticized and educated Sun Lei: "Don't talk nonsense, boy, what's wrong with the cold weather? Before, I was in the northeast. During the war, the temperature was even colder than it is now, and I still slept in the snow, there was no problem at all, I have not lived well until now.

"Furthermore, the company commander and the instructor let us only sleep for four or ten minutes. In such a short time, I don't believe that it could kill someone. You crow mouth, you love to sleep. You Don't sleep, I'm going to sleep, I don't bother to talk to you."

Sure enough, Deng Sanshui sat back on his marching rucksack again, crossed his legs, just sat there, closed his eyes, fell asleep within 2 minutes, and snored from time to time.

He glanced around at the soldiers in the same class, and they all sat on their marching backpacks and fell asleep one by one. For some reason, Sun Lei suddenly had an ominous premonition.

From his point of view at this time, the soldiers are not full enough to eat and not warm enough to sleep in an environment where the temperature is twenty degrees below zero. I am afraid that some people with low resistance and immunity are really Maybe he will fall asleep and never wake up again.
