Chapter Twenty-Five: The Ice Wall

Another pile of rubble fell down, and I sat down in a dejected state. There is too much gravel in this highland, there is no stickiness, and it will fall while digging, and after digging for a long time, both hands are digging blood, this trench is still the same as a pot, and I looked at the surrounding comrades, and the situation is similar. I couldn't help but sigh and lie down by the edge of the trench, it would be better to save some time and sleep with so much effort and time to build fortifications in this place!

"Platoon Commander Cui, why don't you dig it?" The old squad leader next to him asked suspiciously.

"Old squad leader!" I smiled wryly and said, "Do you think it's useful for us to dig like this?" We dug for a long time, and when the Yankees' heavy artillery exploded, it wasn't nothing? ”

"That's what I said." The old squad leader said helplessly: "But this fortification still has to be done, or as soon as the reactionaries come up, let alone heavy artillery, we can't stand the machine guns!" ”

"Boy, I have a solution!" Huzi, who was a few steps away, buried his head in the soil, and said to himself: "This land is loose, and the Yankees' heavy artillery will blow up a big crater, and then we will see it, and as soon as the shells explode, we will run into the crater, what a good ready-made fortification!" ”

"Huzi!" The comrade-in-arms who heard it next to him laughed: "Don't let the Yankee bombs rip off your tiger skin!" ”

"Hey! What are you talking about? I haven't made a bomb yet! ”

The soldiers were laughing and talking as they seemed to be casually digging the fortifications, not looking at the happy faces on their faces, but looking closely at the blood on their hands dripping on the rubble and forming pieces of "blood ice".

That's right! When I saw the blood freeze, I suddenly remembered a story I had heard before, and I forgot what it was about, it seems that Cao Cao fought with Ma Chao, because there was no material to build the city and was repeatedly attacked by Ma Chao, and later someone told him that while carrying soil and splashing water, an ice city was built overnight, so this ......

"Cooking class? Where's the cooking class? Thinking of this, I jumped up suddenly, which startled the old squad leader next to me.

"In the back!" The old squad leader pointed behind him.

He didn't understand what I was doing with the cooking class, and I didn't have to explain much and just ran away.

As I ran, I was thinking, God forbid, this cooking class must have a scoop, a basin, a bucket or something, otherwise even if there is this method, there is no way to use it. Although the soldiers all had water bottles on their bodies, the spout of the kettle was too small, and when the Datong River was filled with water and ran to this side, they were afraid that they would freeze.

Seeing that the day was about to dawn, the Yankees didn't dare to attack when it was dark, but they dared to shoot indiscriminately from a distance, and they couldn't bear to run away at dawn!

"Cooking class, cooking class!" I didn't care about a pair of puzzled eyes looking at me, and I ran and shouted.

In recent years, there are really few people looking for cooking classes, because the volunteer soldiers do not dare to make fires to cook day or night, and they are afraid of light at night and smoke during the day, which will expose the target and provoke the bombardment of US aircraft and artillery, so most of the volunteers carry dry food that does not need to be cooked, and the cooking class is really in name only.

"What are you doing with the cooking class?" Unexpectedly, Company Commander Zhang was also digging trenches here, and when he saw me screaming all the way, he couldn't help but stand up strangely and asked, "Could it be that you still want the cooking class to get you a few dumplings to eat?" ”

Company Commander Zhang's words amused the soldiers around him, and he could even hear a few swallowing sounds.

"How can it? Captain! I smiled embarrassedly and said, "I just want to borrow a few buckets, pots, or something......

"No!" A short, slightly chubby volunteer soldier straightened up and replied: "I am the leader of the cooking squad, and it is troublesome to bring buckets and basins, and it is useless, so I have already lost them." ”

"What about the scoop?"

"Not either!"

I couldn't help but feel disappointed, time was pressing, where to go to find something to fill the water at this time. It's easy to pretend in other places, and you can use leaves or something, but this is in North Korea, where it's minus 20 degrees Celsius, and if you use such a small container, I'm afraid it will become an ice cube before you get there.

Just when I was worried, the volunteer thought for a while and then said: "There are two mouthfuls of pot, and I didn't dare to lose ...... because my troops still had some rice."

"It's good to have a pot, it's good to have a pot!" I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I heard that.

"Huzi, Huzi!" I brought two pots and called Huzi to rush to the river.

"What's wrong?" Huzi took the pot I handed him, and couldn't help but be a little inexplicable. But after touching his head, he quickly continued: "You kid is evil, although I don't understand what you do, but it seems that you can take advantage of it every time." ”

After speaking, he didn't ask any more questions, just ran after me with the pot.

It took me two minutes to reach the river, and I carefully stepped on the stones and thin ice into the deeper water, scooped up most of the pot of water, and then walked back cautiously.

These actions may seem ordinary to us, but for us at this moment, we are risking our lives. If we fall into the river on this cold day and don't have a cotton coat to change, it means that we will soon be two pieces of frozen meat.

Along the way, I tried to keep the pot as stable as possible, and then ran back as fast as I could, and I watched the water in the pot slowly form a thin layer of ice on the surface, and I felt a chill crawling up my arms with both hands, which made me shiver.

As soon as he reached the trench, he could not wait to pour the water onto the trench, only to hear a creaking sound, and the water slowly seeped into the gravel and dirt, and then quickly froze......

At this time, Huzi also ran up with the pot in his hand, and continued to pour water down as I did, and now some shiny ice cubes could be faintly seen between the trenches.

After a while, Huzi broke the stones with his hands......

"Hey, it's really amazing for you!" Huzi couldn't break the gravel that would have fallen down by himself despite his strength, and he couldn't help but raise his head in surprise and said: "You can think of this method, you kid really don't have to say it!" ”

"What? Bluff it! The old squad leader saw it really on the side, so he came over and broke it without believing it, and picked up a pot and left without saying a word.

The other pot was quickly rushed to use by other soldiers, and the eyes of the cooking squad leader were green: "I was carrying a baby on my back, and I still don't know what to use!" ”
