Chapter 24: The Battle of the Kowloon River (8)

Loess walls, thatched roofs, pit fires crackling and beating in the night, bright red fire looming on the sleeping faces of the warriors, reflecting the blood and bandages on the warriors' bodies.

Snoring came and went, and the air was mixed with the foul smell of medicinal herbs, blood, and feet. But who cares? The warmth here, the safety here, compared to the battlefield of life and death just now, is simply heaven.

This hut was arranged by the superior to be repaired by our company, and the owner of the hut had long since disappeared because of the war, but even so, the superior still explained that he could not take a stitch from the common people. This may be the style of the People's Liberation Army, but it is really because there is not a single thing to eat in this hut, and if it had, it would have been robbed by the hungry and tired soldiers. People are dying of hunger, how can they take care of so much!

From time to time, there were gunshots and shouts of killing from the front. In this battle, the enemy's puppet 6th Division, which had withdrawn from the north, quickly abandoned its light and heavy equipment and fled in all directions under the impact of our reinforcement 118th Division. The enemy's reinforcements are still stubbornly resisting on the other side of the river, trying to block our army north of the Jiulong River with advanced equipment and favorable terrain, but in this night, I think they will not be able to hold out for long.

Most of our company was killed or wounded in this battle, including the wounded recovered on the battlefield, there were only more than 40 people left in the company, and only 30 people were capable of fighting, and all of them were wounded of various sizes.

The soldiers didn't get a good night's sleep for a few days, and they fought several big battles in succession, and now they had a chance to rest, and they all slept profusely. But I was the only one staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, and my mind kept flashing the bloody scenes of Shicai on the battlefield, thinking of their pain, thinking of their wails, thinking of their blood......

I knew very well that I was out of my control at the time, and I did it subconsciously. The method of killing the enemy, as well as the judgment of the enemy...... If I had been a journalist before, I would never have done it so skillfully and accurately. What's wrong with me? How did I become such a sophisticated killer?

"Password!"

A shout from the sentry outside the door caused the sleeping warriors to reflexively sit up and grab their guns as fast as they could, even though they were no longer loaded with bullets.

"Liberate New China!"

"Serve the people! It turned out to be the old squad leader, what did he bring? ”

"Eat." The old squad leader's kind laughter came from outside the door: "I'm hungry, come, I'll give you one first." ”

"There's something to eat!"

"There's something to eat!"

……

As soon as the soldiers in the room heard that the old squad leader had brought food, they all sat up from the pit excitedly, and with a gust of cold wind, the old squad leader threw a large bag of things on his back into the house with a "sonorous bang", and then couldn't wait to squat in front of the kang fire and rub his hands!

The warriors swarmed up and divided the pile, but when they got it, they were stunned.

"I'm talking about the old squad leader!" Huzi was the first to speak: "Aren't you confused, can you eat this iron lump?" ”

"That's it, old squad leader!" Zhao Yongxin fiddled with the things in his hand up and down, and asked strangely: "If you want to say that this thing is a bomb, I still believe it, you won't take the zha medicine back as military rations, right?" I'm afraid that if I bite down on this bite, I'll be looking for teeth all over the ground as soon as I bang it! ”

"Haha... Ha ......" burst into laughter from inside the hut.

The old squad leader was embarrassed for a while, and said in embarrassment: "Isn't this all sent to our company by the regiment, and what is it called when it is said to be taken from the enemy...... It's called 'canned food', I don't know how to eat it, and the regiment commander also said that this is all because of our regiment's heroic combat and meritorious service, and other comrades haven't yet! ”

"Canned?" When I heard this, I sat up, and then I realized that in addition to the Yankees' aircraft cannons, the volunteers had never seen canned food.

"Platoon Commander Cui knows how to eat?" Xiao Shandong may be hungry and panicked, so he couldn't wait to hand me one.

"Yo, it's still beef, American, good stuff!" As soon as I took the can, the saliva flowed down, and I pulled out the military thorn hanging on the waist of Xiaoshan Mountain, regardless of the black blood stains on the military thorn, and pounced on the canned food box, and then pried it up, and a fragrance soon wafted out.

"Wow...... Good stuff! ”

"It's still Platoon Commander Cui who has insight!"

……

Seeing that the soldiers followed suit, they all eagerly opened the cans and devoured them, and in an instant the hut was filled with the fragrance of cans.

"Uh-huh...... Delicious! Huzi solved it with three strokes and five divided by two, and sucked his finger and said: "Yankee's things are delicious, if you want me to say, you have to grab some of this thing in the future!" ”

"Platoon Commander Cui." Liu Mingquan had a bandage on his head, leaned over while eating, and asked mysteriously: "I heard that Platoon Commander Cui single-handedly suppressed a company of the enemy and killed dozens of enemies, why is it all down?" ”

"That's still fake!" When Huzi heard this, he became excited, grinned and said, "Do you know what it was like when I pulled this kid up?" Good guys, more than a dozen puppet soldiers fell to the ground, all of them were military stabs! The blood flowed, Platoon Commander Cui became a bloody man himself, not to mention, the mud and the stone, there is no place that is not red! ”

Everyone turned their eyes to me in unison, their eyes were full of admiration, in this battlefield of life and death, if you can kill the enemy, especially if you can kill more enemies, you can win the respect of your comrades.

"Platoon Commander Cui, let's talk about it, what's the whole drop?" Everyone demanded.

"Yes, Platoon Commander Cui!" Company Commander Zhang fiddled with the injured left hand hanging on his neck, nodded to me, and said: "War is to save yourself and destroy the enemy, Platoon Commander Cui has done this very well, Platoon Commander Cui will introduce his combat experience!" Let the fighters learn to learn! ”

"Company commander!" I lowered my head, looked at my right hand and said, "I...... I'm thinking of the soldiers who died under my command, they also had fathers and mothers, and some of them were just teenagers, and they couldn't hold their guns! ”

There was no sound in the hut for a moment, and the deathly silence quickly spread around......
