Anti-US and Aid Korea's Sharp Knife Company

Chapter 9 To Liangshui Cave
"This scholar is indeed a scholar. He speaks clearly and logically. It turns out that using charcoal to light a fire can prevent smoke. This black piece of wood has such a great ability. I really heard it once."

The bewildered company commander Zhao Yifa, after listening to the instructor Wang Wenju popularize the knowledge about charcoal in a simple way, he suddenly realized, took out a small black wooden block from the sack, and played with it in his hand After several times, he said in a tone of surprise.

The company commander Zhao Yifa, who was like a curious baby, was also curious about the source of charcoal, so he asked Sun Lei who was standing aside: "Just now, the instructor gave a lot of knowledge about the formation and source of charcoal. How did the boy know that after being bombed by the fighter planes of the American devils, there would be charcoal in the dilapidated houses on the side of the road?"

Facing the inquiry from the company commander Zhao Yifa, Sun Lei, who had already prepared the draft, put on a standing military posture, and reported loudly: "Reporting to the company commander, when we were stationed in those shabby houses just now, I was walking around. After observing it, I found that more than half of the house is made of wood.

"After being bombed by U.S. warplanes, I made a bold judgment. Although the few dilapidated houses were bombed into ruins, due to the bombing, the wooden structure of the house was burned under high temperature and intense combustion. , maybe we can get a lot of charcoal because of this.

"Besides, there's still a lot of charcoal in that place, and I just couldn't fit it in a sack with me just now. I looked at it and found that there is so much charcoal that can last us at least a week or so to light the fire. Recruit Sun Lei finished his answer, please Instructions from the company commander."

Just now he was puzzled, but company commander Zhao Yifa immediately smiled after listening to Sun Lei's report.

He immediately issued an order, "Then why are you still standing there, kid, hurry up and bring more soldiers, bring all the guys who can hold things, fill them full, damn it, we will use charcoal to light the fire in the future .”

After company commander Zhao Yifa gave an order, Sun Lei answered "yes", led at least one platoon of soldiers, and took all kinds of things that could hold things, and headed towards the blasted piece more than 100 meters away. The ruins run wildly away.

It took about an hour for Sun Lei and the soldiers in that platoon to return with a full load. The backpacks, panniers, and sacks they held were full of black charcoal, large and small.

Using charcoal to cook and keep warm, all the comrades of the three companies stayed in this large dense forest from the dawn of the morning until the night fell.

After dinner, they withdrew from the woods, smeared the night road, and headed towards the area around Yunshan.

Originally, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju discussed and decided that after eating this morning, they would rest at the same place for two hours and then go on their way immediately, but Sun Lei dissuaded them from it.

Sun Lei believes that they have now entered the hinterland of the mountainous area on the back of the Korean Peninsula. If they march during the day, the further they go, the easier it is for the US fighter planes frequently patrolling in the air to spot their existence.

In addition, there are many American and Korean troops marching towards the mountainous area at the back of the Korean peninsula. If they encounter a large group of troops during the day, it is inevitable that there will not be an encounter.

If a fight broke out, their third company would not only lose troops, but might also delay their trip. They would be chased and intercepted by the US and Korean northward troops, and they would not be able to reach the area around Yunshan on the original schedule.

Since the U.S. fighter planes are almost never dispatched at night, the northward troops of the U.S. and South Korean troops will also rest at night. Therefore, if their third company chooses to hide in the woods to rest during the day and march at night, it will not be easy to be discovered.

After listening to Sun Lei's suggestion, the instructor Wang Wenju and the company commander Zhao Yifa both felt that the idea was quite good, so they immediately adopted it and decided to rest during the day and march at night.

Although, they were in a large dense forest only more than 100 meters away from the place where they were bombed into ruins just now, and the American fighter pilot who spotted them also reported to the US-South Korea Joint Operations Command in the rear.

However, their third company stayed in this large dense forest for a whole day, and they did not find any U.S. fighter planes dropping bombs on them, or any U.S. and Korean ground troops attacking them.

This is mainly because since the U.S.-led United Nations Army and the Korean Army hit Pyongyang, the defeated North Korean people have fled everywhere, and there are so many small groups of troops fleeing everywhere.

If all the small groups of troops fleeing around were chased and intercepted, it would definitely consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. How could there be such leisure time.

Therefore, the rear headquarters naturally ignored the report of the US fighter pilot.

It was with this in mind that Sun Lei suggested that they should stay in the forest for the third time without moving, until evening.

In this way, they rested during the day and marched at night. After walking for six days, in the early morning of October 10, Sanlian finally arrived at a place more than 25 miles away from Yunshan.

Since there are no forests within a few kilometers of this place, it is impossible for them to use the woods as a cover again. The company commander Zhao Yifa immediately decided that they should first occupy a strategic highland here for the third time.

When all the comrades of the Sanlian arrived at a strategic highland in the narrow and long valley at eight o'clock in the morning, they took a temporary rest on the spot. After all, after walking all night, it would be impossible not to stop and rest for a few hours.

The soldiers of the third company, first row and second squad, who were in charge of guarding the perimeter, reported to the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju that they found a boundary marker 500 meters away, and the writing on it was in Korean, which they could not understand at all.

"Comrades, I would like to reveal a new situation to you. Our comrades in charge of security at the periphery found a boundary marker, which was written in Korean. I would like to ask comrades, who among you can understand Korean? Take a look with me." Company Commander Zhao Yifa walked among the resting soldiers and asked solemnly.

Sun Lei, whose eyes were bleary to make sure he wasn't sleepy, stood up from the snow all the time and reported: "Reporting to the company commander, I can understand Korean."

The company commander Zhao Yifa, who was in an extremely urgent mood, immediately said: "Okay, Sun Lei, you boy, go, come and see with me."

Soon, it took about 1 minute for company commander Zhao Yifa, instructor Wang Wenju, and Sun Lei to arrive in front of the boundary marker.

Sun Lei, who was standing in front of the boundary marker, just glanced at it, and reported in a decisive tone: "Reporting instructor, company commander, according to the Korean characters written on this boundary marker, the place we are in is called Liangshuidong , there is Wenjing not far away.”
