Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 4 Making a Fire and Cooking
Sun Lei, a special soldier who had just retired for less than a week in 2017, just woke up like this, and traveled without any warning to the late autumn of 67, when the Korean War broke out 1950 years ago.

However, at this time, the northeastern region of our country has already entered the cold winter, and the entire Korean peninsula across the Yalu River is also covered with ice and snow, with biting cold wind and white snow.

Since the military operation tonight was top-secret, their third company, as the sharp knife company of the whole regiment, was the first unit to cross the Yalu River Bridge and enter the DPRK secretly to fight.

On this road, all the comrades of the third company were in the dark night, without torches, and the flashlights could not be turned on. They marched in the dark along this road.

Walking between the ice and snow, it took about three hours to arrive at the Yalu River Bridge at one o'clock in the morning, and passed quickly, entering the mountainous area in northern North Korea.

According to the order issued by the regiment headquarters, the third company was required to arrive at the area around Yunshan at no later than a week later, that is, at twelve o'clock noon on October 10, and wait for the next combat mission and instructions.

At dawn on the second day, the soldiers of the third company walked all the way on the icy and snowy ground without even a second of rest, because last night they received a temporary combat mission before going to bed and assembled urgently .

Therefore, the soldiers at this time can be described as sleepy, tired and hungry. They were all high-spirited before, but now they have become listless, like eggplants beaten by frost, wilting.

After discovering this situation, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Li Wenju took out the combat map they carried with them and studied it under the light of the rising sun.

In the end, the two of them decided to find a place to rest temporarily, and let the cooking team cook a pot of hot millet porridge to warm up the comrades of the whole company.

Just at this time, Zhao Yifa took out his old binoculars to observe the surrounding terrain, and saw an abandoned house on the side of the road not far ahead, so he quickly sent two veterans to investigate to see if there was any There are still people living.

Soon, the two veterans reported that not only was there no one in the abandoned house not far ahead, but also that there was nothing in the house and it was empty.

After listening to the report, the company commander Zhao Yifa immediately made a decision. The soldiers of the whole company ran forward and rested in the abandoned empty house not far ahead to make up for last night's sleep. Go to the area around Yunshan.

For the decision made by the company commander Zhao Yifa, Sun Lei, as a recruit, just shook his head. He wanted to stop it, but after a moment of effort, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth To the stomach to go.

Because he knew in his heart that he threatened to sue Zhao Yifa to his superiors because he didn't arrive at the training ground in the camp to gather in time before the troops set off last night, which probably left a very bad impression on Zhao Yifa.

If at this time, he, a recruit who had just joined the third company for only two months, raised objections to the decision made by Zhao Yifa, the company commander, in front of comrades in the whole company.

At that time, it is estimated that Zhao Yifa, the company commander, will not only not adopt his opinions and suggestions, but the bad impression may be even worse.

Moreover, the other comrades in the company would mistakenly think that he was showing off, and deliberately confronted the wise and decisive company commander Zhao Yi, and was eventually rejected and opposed by the comrades of the whole company.

After thinking about it for a long time, it wasn't until Sun Lei followed all the comrades of Sanlian and settled in this abandoned and dilapidated house on the side of the road. Think again.

"Comrades, we've been walking all the way in the dark at night, so let's take a rest in these shabby houses first, and let's light a fire here later to keep warm.

"In addition, I have ordered the comrades in the cooking class to bury the pot outside the house for cooking, cook a big pot of millet porridge, let's have a good meal, and then sleep well for a few hours Let’s move forward according to the original plan.”

Zhao Yifa, the company commander who walked into these dilapidated houses, pointed at the soldiers squatting on the ground and huddled up. He tried his best to put on a high-spirited look, and said.

Sure enough, not long after the company commander Zhao Yifa finished speaking, two soldiers from the cooking squad hugged a large pile of dry branches picked up from the forest not far outside. A fire was lit in these shabby houses.

Just now, the temperature in these dilapidated houses was almost ten degrees below zero. The soldiers squatting on the ground were still shivering. Not long after the fire was lit, the whole house became warm immediately.

At this time, Sun Lei, who was curled up in a corner, felt that it was too dangerous for them to do so. It was very likely that they would be exposed at any time because of the green smoke from the fire.

You know, at that time, a small group of American and South Korean ground troops had already arrived at the banks of the Yalu River. It can be said that they crossed the Yalu River and entered the Korean Peninsula at night, advancing more than 100 miles deep into the hinterland.

It's lucky that they didn't encounter the American or South Korean troops along the way, and they will be able to continue to secretly advance to the Unsan area without the enemy's knowledge.

But now it was early in the morning, and it was considered to be daytime. The green smoke rising from the fire was likely to be discovered by the US or South Korean ground troops marching nearby, and an encounter was inevitable.

Furthermore, the entire sky is controlled by U.S. military planes, and the U.S. military will definitely send out planes to carry out investigations during the daytime. Once these empty and uninhabited broken houses are locked, people suddenly burst into flames inside. The smoke coming out will definitely attract their attention.

After the U.S. plane came up and observed it, it was found that the people inside the broken house were not the U.S. soldiers or their friendly South Korean soldiers, but a small group of soldiers wearing military uniforms that were almost the same as those of the Korean People’s Army, pilots flying fighter planes. , will definitely drop a few bombs without hesitation to destroy these dilapidated houses.

What made Sun Lei even more terrified was that the soldiers in the cooking squad were cooking outside the house, which increased the chance of exposure. Whether it was the ground troops of the U.S. Army or the Korean Army, or the U.S. military aircraft flying in the air, as long as they approached Just by observing, you can tell whether it is an enemy or a friend.

Although his eyes were red and swollen, Sun Lei didn't feel sleepy. Before the smiling Zhao Yifa left the room, he felt that he couldn't sit idly by, so he stood up immediately and decided to report his worries to the company commander Zhao Yifa.

But he just stood up and before he could speak, he was suddenly squatted aside, staring at his every move. First, Niu Tiezhu, the squad leader who stood up before him, stretched out two big hands on his shoulders, giving him a stiff look. Pressed down abruptly.

"Sun Lei, you recruit, I've been paying attention to you for a long time just now. Since you came in, you've been looking around, looking furtive. You can't endure the hardship of marching and fighting. I think Let's slip away.

"Don't blame me, the squad leader, for not reminding you, boy, our third company is the sharp knife company of the whole regiment, and we will shoot soldiers who run away. You boy, just stay where you are, and don't even think about going anywhere."

Niu Tiezhu, the squad leader of the third row and first row, pushed down Sun Lei who was just about to stand up, and he threatened and threatened in a deceitful manner.
