Chapter X: Landmines

The next night, as soon as it was dark, we crawled towards the plain under the leadership of Xu Feng.

This is the first time to do it, and Commander Chu did not arrange many people, so he also took the intention of sending some people to reconnoitre. But for some reason, this glorious task was honored to fall on our battalion.

Although it is a battalion, the number is only more than 100 people, because the task of building fortifications under the eyes of the enemy is very important, and if the puppet army finds out, it will be in vain, so all of them only bring veterans, and the recruits are left in the forest for primary military training. Because Zhao Yongxin's injuries were not yet healed, he was left to watch the recruits in the forest.

More than a hundred people slowly crawled out of the forest, with the company commander in front of the unit and the instructor behind the unit. This is also the combat habit of the PLA, the combat cadres are in the front, so that the soldiers have the bottom in their hearts, and the political cadres are behind, staring at all the soldiers to see if anyone deserts......

I secretly complained in my heart, this officer will either be a big one, or he won't do it, and now I am just a company commander who is not big or small!

More than 100 people slowly climbed up the plain, covered with a white cloth that Jin Qiulian got from nowhere, maybe borrowed from the common people! North Koreans like to wear white clothes the most, so it's not hard for me to get a white cloth, but I've always wondered if the white cloth I wore was a woman's dress......

The plain in front of us was as white as if it were shrouded in fluorescent lamps by the bright moonlight, and I occasionally saw a few bombed-out cars, and I think that this place was once a battlefield filled with blood and war. Goose-feathered snowflakes fluttered in the air with the cold wind, as if they were petals sprinkled from the sky by the gods, trying to cover up the death and pain here.

The white cloth on our bodies was covered with a thin layer of snow after a while, which formed a natural camouflage for us, and if it weren't for the comrades crawling beside us, we really couldn't see any difference from the surrounding environment.

I couldn't help but shiver, and there was a chill under me, and it was really not pleasant to crawl on the snow in such cold weather. No, I can't even feel my feet after a while.

I looked up at the plain in front of me, which was a few hundred meters long, and if I wanted to build a Tibetan cave, I had to do it by the Imjin River, otherwise it would not have any effect. But now I was so frozen that I stopped, gasped for breath, and wondered if I would be able to climb to the river......

Alas! Let's climb...... Dozens of warriors behind him are watching!

I reluctantly raised my elbow and stretched it forward, but then there was a different touch on my elbow, and it seemed to be a little elastic. I don't know where the perseverance came from, so I forcibly stopped the elbow that was about to be pressed down in mid-air.

"Mines!" A terrible word jumped into my head, and I froze on the spot as if I had been electrocuted.

"Stop, stop!" After being stunned for a while, I ignored the danger of being discovered by the enemy, and shouted in a low voice: "There are mines, stop everything!" ”

Damn, these puppet armies have not only laid mines on the south bank, but also on the north bank. And it's not good where you are buried, but you want to bury one on my way forward, you have a grudge against me, right? This mine is pressed against my elbow, right under my head, and it just needs to explode my head......

"There are mines! Stop it! ”

"There are mines! Stop it! ”

……

As veterans of a hundred battles, the soldiers did not panic, but whispered the message one after another, and I was glad that I did not bring those recruits with them.

"Company commander!"

"Company Commander Cui!"

……

I kept hearing the whispers of the old squad leader and others beside me, and I turned my head slightly to see that they were all staring at me with a pair of eyes, and Jin Qiulian was even more desperate to crawl forward.

"Don't move! Stop her! "I hurriedly gave the order, if nothing else, I found a mine, which probably means that this is a minefield laid by the enemy, and she climbed up so recklessly, if she touches a mine, then none of us in the hundred or so will want to go back completely.

The comrades-in-arms also knew how powerful this was, and the old squad leader and Huzi stopped Jin Qiulian without saying a word.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to retreat back the same way one after another, and even Jin Qiulian was pulled down, I think this was Xu Feng's order. There is no doubt that this is the right choice. There is a minefield ahead, and this mission is doomed to be in vain. If the fighters don't retreat, once this mine explodes under my elbow, the fighters will soon face strafing and bombardment from the enemy!

Only, what should I do?

As the minutes ticked by, I was holding on one elbow to the ground and the other on the mine. I didn't dare to move a little because I was afraid that pressing down a little more, or relaxing a little higher, would make me disappear from this world.

A terrible sense of loneliness came over me, cold sweat kept breaking out on my forehead, and I felt like an abandoned lamb, waiting for death in the cold wind......

"Where?" Just when I was about to fall into despair, Xu Feng's voice came from beside me, and I couldn't help but be stunned, and tears almost fell. I realized that they hadn't abandoned me, and that it was the battalion commander who stayed with me, and that he had been showing up for so long because he had to wait for his comrades to evacuate to safety.

"Where?" Seeing that I didn't respond, Xu Feng asked again.

"In, in...... Left hand! "I didn't even dare to move my head, as if I were holding a sleeping child, for fear that it would call away if it was not pleased.

Xu Feng slowly climbed over, and gently lifted the snow covering it with his hand, and a flat black guy was revealed, and I became more nervous when I saw it, and my body trembled.

"Don't move!" Xu Feng ordered in a low voice, pulled out his bayonet and pulled something underneath, and after a while he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay!" ”

"Okay?" I asked incredulously, worried that I had misheard.

"You go back first, and I'll scout and reconnoitre!" After saying that, he crept forward cautiously as if nothing had happened, carefully stabbing with a bayonet as he crawled.

As soon as I rolled over, I lay on the ground, unable to move for a long time.

"Company commander!"

"The company commander is back!"

……

When I crawled back with fear in my heart, the soldiers had been waiting for me in the forest for a long time, and when they saw me come back, they all breathed a sigh of relief and walked up one after another, and to my surprise, Commander Chu and Political Commissar Chen Ye were also waiting there.

"How's it going?" As soon as he saw me, Head Chu couldn't wait to ask.

"Report to the Captain!" I replied, "The situation is not clear, Battalion Commander Xu is scouting." ”

"I can't imagine that the enemy has also laid mines here." Chen Ye frowned and said: "I think it should be a matter of the past few days, this time it's troublesome, the hidden soldiers can't hide, and there is an extra mine array!" ”
