Chapter Eighty-Six: The Trap

Chapter Eighty-Six: The Trap

The further you go into the battlefield, the more corpses there are, and the stronger the stench. I couldn't help frowning, and I felt a sense of foreboding in my heart.

I'm not frowning because of the strong smell of corpses in the air, the boss will be able to stand it, and those of us who crawled out of the pile of dead people will still have a reason to be disgusted. What's more, we also know that if we fall down one day, we may become one of the corpses that have been soaked in the rain and constantly emit a foul smell. We sacrificed for the motherland and sacrificed our lives for the people, but after death, someone covered their mouths or slapped their noses at our corpses, what would we feel at that time?

But then again, if I had that day, I wouldn't have much of a feeling

My concern is that there are so many people here, and the migrant workers who carry the bodies seem to be very close to us.

I am not very worried about the fact that if it is a volunteer army, since we learned that puppet army agents often 'blend' into our army's troops, we have conducted strict examination of the soldiers who join the volunteer army, and we have also strictly checked the KPA soldiers who have been transferred to our army units to assist in the battle. By now, it has been difficult for puppet army agents to gain a foothold in our army, and even if there are, they are very few.

But now we are surrounded by migrant workers, most of whom are laborers and non-combatants from domestic support, but there are also a considerable number of volunteers organized by local North Korean people, and I saw a few North Korean 'women' wearing wide white dresses outside the car......

One might think that it is cruel to let North Korean 'women' join the ranks of migrant workers, such as now, by letting those 'women' carry highly decomposed corpses on the battlefield...... This should be what men do. But there was no way around it, at this time in North Korea, the slightly more decent men were all fighting as soldiers, and most of the people who stayed behind were only 'women', the elderly and children. The 'women' and the elderly who stayed behind took on the responsibility of farming in peacetime, and in wartime, it was the civilian workers of the army who were responsible for transporting ammunition and medicine.

Just like some war movies I have seen in modern times that depict the Korean battlefield, there are often scenes like this: dozens of North Korean "women" and "women" wearing wide white dresses, carrying food, ammunition and other supplies on their heads, lined up in a neat line to deliver them to the front line. At that time, I was also thinking, how can these 'women' who have no armament or any defense ability go to the battlefield like this? Now that I have arrived on this battlefield, I know that such things are too common.

It is precisely because of the complexity of the members of the migrant labor team that it is undoubtedly a good place for the puppet army agents to hide. In addition, there are many people here and they have no military training, so once the fight starts, it is easy to cause 'chaos' and 'chaos', and the puppet army agents can just take advantage of the 'chaos' and 'chaos'......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, and shouted softly into the walkie-talkie: "Pay attention to the second and third convoys, don't come up for the time being."

"Yes," the fighters replied.

The boss also seemed to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and he was very cooperative and stopped talking. is always a smart person, if he still speaks out or gives orders at this time, it is undoubtedly telling the puppet army agent that he is an important person, isn't it obvious that he can't get along with himself?

Company Commander Zhao has been following the boss as a guard all the year round, and at this time, he doesn't know what the situation is, he doesn't move on the surface, but secretly he has taken out a pistol and grabbed it in his hand.

The jeep was still driving slowly, the night wind rustling through the camouflaged leaves, and my eyes coldly observed the migrant workers outside through the shaking leaves.

The headlights of the car dimly illuminated the migrant workers passing by through the black cloth that was 'clouded' on them. There were men and women, old and young, dressed in all kinds of clothes, some burying their heads in their own business, some raising their hands to greet us, and more looking at our team intentionally or unintentionally

I believe that the migrant workers who look at our convoy are not necessarily puppet army agents, and ask myself, if I were a migrant worker collecting corpses, I would inevitably take a few more glances at a heavily armed convoy like ours in the middle of the night. But I also believe that there must be puppet agents among them. Because I noticed a few people who were not looking at our convoy, but trying to see through the camouflage on the jeep, trying to see the people sitting inside.

"Regiment commander, the situation is a little wrong" Wang Xinhe reported: "There may be enemy agents here, should we speed up and rush over?" ”

Wang Xinhe obviously saw the name of the hall as well, and I believe that most of the fighters were aware of this. This may be the difference between the soldiers who rolled out of the battlefield and the guards of Company Commander Zhao, we often rely on intuition to judge the enemy's situation, and when there is danger, threat, and murderous spirit, we will always be the first to detect it. And Company Commander Zhao relied on rational analysis. The reality is that intuition is always more useful than reason on the battlefield. The simple reason is that intuition is faster than reason

"Commander Cui, give an order" Company Commander Zhao saw that I was still silent, and couldn't help but be a little anxious: "We should quickly leave this place of right and wrong"

"No" After thinking about it, I shook my head and replied: "We are a reconnaissance unit, can the reconnaissance unit pass quickly when encountering a situation?" ”

"But......" Company Commander Zhao wanted to refute, but the boss's eyes stopped him.

With a "squeak", a jeep driving at the front suddenly stopped, and the convoy had to stop because the road was narrow and there were many migrant workers carrying corpses on both sides.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Report leader" Wang Xinhe reported in a low voice: "There is a North Korean villager who fainted in the middle of the road, I think there is a famous hall, should we ...... it?"

I know what Wang Xinhe is thinking, and getting out of the car to inspect in this situation is undoubtedly giving the puppet army agents a chance. This guy is very murderous, according to his meaning, he probably just cares about what kind of North Korean countryman he is, whether he is true or not, just speed up and press over

But I knew I couldn't do that, and if the boss was in the first car, it would have been possible to get through, but the boss was in the fifth......

I'm not worried about the life of that North Korean fellow, in fact, in this case, most of the people who will faint in the middle of the road are puppet army agents. Even if she is not a puppet army agent, it is understandable for us to do this for the safety of the boss, and it is a big deal to deal with it as a 'traffic' accident afterwards.

Maybe he will be reprimanded by the boss, or he may be criticized and educated, but what is it for his safety?

But I knew that doing so would only make things worse. Obviously, the puppet agents lurking among the migrant workers wanted to know if their target, the boss, was in our convoy.

I think they laid it all out, and once we got to speed up and wanted to get through, it was obvious that we were telling them the answer, so it wasn't hard to imagine what was going on. The puppet army agents will soon create 'chaos' and 'chaos' among the migrant workers, let the running migrant workers block our convoy, and then take advantage of the 'chaos' and 'chaos' to kill us......

I looked around, there were at least a thousand migrant workers in the vicinity, and if there was a 'chaos', there would be no way for us to rush out. We can't tell who the puppet agents are, but the puppet agents can hide among the migrant workers and shoot at us...... So, we were doomed

"Don't be impulsive," I immediately stopped Wang Xinhe and said, "Get out of the car and check the situation"

"Yes," Wang Xin responded, although he didn't know the purpose of what I was doing, but he still did as I was told.

After thinking about it, I ordered the walkie-talkie again: "All units pay attention, arrange for one soldier to get out of each car for inspection"

"Commander Cui" Listening to my words, Company Commander Zhao couldn't help but be shocked, is this not clear that he is stabbing and 'provoking' those puppet army agents hiding among the migrant workers?

But the boss smiled approvingly at me and nodded his head in agreement.

In fact, at this time, I don't know the bottom of my heart, what if those puppet army agents launch an attack desperately? Isn't that all over? I felt like I was on the table of the puppet army agents, and when we accidentally broke in, we suddenly found that we had become fish under the knife, 'meat' on the board. Our death is small, and there is always something to do, that is, suicide is not enough to apologize. In this situation, only the soldiers can get out of here alive if they are in danger. The support of the boss undoubtedly gave me a lot of confidence and increased my confidence.

People are like this sometimes, just a smile or a handshake to show support can greatly enhance their confidence and make him unswervingly go down this path. This may be what people often say: behind a successful man there is often a successful 'woman', and sometimes men don't need 'female' people to do anything, just a smile to show unconditional support is enough. Of course, this is not the same thing as the boss's support for me

Of course, you can't let Company Commander Zhao do it when you get out of the car to check, he is the boss's personal guard, and he is ready to block bullets for the boss at any time. So I pushed the car door and walked down, taking a sneaky breath to relieve my nerves in the process. I also thought about whether I should bring my rifle with me.

Bring the rifle down? It's a bit of a big deal, and I'm afraid that the puppet agents will think we've seen through them and go to ruin. Don't you take it down? And it seems to be unreasonable. We are the vanguard reconnaissance troops, so there is no reason to get out of the car without carrying a gun.

It can't help but make me feel like I'm walking a tightrope, not going this way at all, not going that way at all...... There is only a thin road in front of us, and if we are not careful, we will be crushed

Eventually, I decided to bring my rifle with me, and I kept telling myself that I didn't know anything now, that there were puppet agents among the migrant workers, and that the boss was sitting in my car......

So as soon as I turned around, I waved to the migrant workers passing by in a very relaxed attitude: "Fellow, where are you from after all your hard work?" ”

"Hello comrade" The two fellows saw me waving, put down the stretcher and happily ran to me and replied: "It's not hard, we will do manual work, how can you go to the battlefield to fight the enemy and work hard."

"I'm from Sichuan, he's from Zhejiang"

"Oh...... I'm from Fujian, so it's very close to Zhejiang."

"Yes, it's very close, half a day's ride away"

"I've been to Chongqing, what is the name of Chongqing?"

"There are two rivers, the Yangtze River and the Jialing River"

……

The villagers naturally talked a lot about the villagers, and they chatted hotly after a while. Actually, I didn't talk to them for anything else, but to let the puppet agents know - I wasn't wary at all. It's also another way of telling them that we haven't found them yet

"By the way, fellow" After chatting for a while, I pretended to ask, "Did you find anything wrong?" ”

"No, there is no situation," the two fellows replied without thinking about it: "If there is a real situation, it is that the North Korean people are enthusiastic and voluntarily come up with a large number of people to help us move the corpses...... Comrade, the fighters fought so badly, we don't sleep for a few days and nights, and we have to let them fall into the ground."

I patted them on the shoulder and said, "I thank you on behalf of those comrades who sacrificed their lives."

"Thank you?" The fellow was ashamed and said: "You are bleeding, you are losing your life, we are just trying to sweat a little, but I really can't stand it"

"Yes, if you say thank you again, comrade, you will treat us as outsiders"

I nodded wordlessly and watched as they lifted the stretcher and left. At this moment, I found myself in full swing, even forgetting that there were puppet agents among them.

Before getting into the car, I suddenly found that Jin Qiulian was not far from me, her face was a little pale, and there seemed to be some beads of sweat on her forehead.

I took a moment to ask, "Are you okay, do you want to rest?" ”

Jin Qiulian looked at me as if she had been pricked by a needle, and then shook her head nervously: "It's okay for a while."

"Aren't you used to the smell," I looked into her eyes a little distressed, and said, "Don't worry, the war will be over in a few days, and there will be no such meeting in the future." Hold on a little longer."

As he spoke, he straightened her military hat, turned around and stepped into the car.

"Keep moving and don't go too fast, the second and third teams should be careful, there is a situation"

As soon as I got in the car, I whispered an order into the intercom. I'm worried that there will be puppet agents right next to the jeep, and if they hear my orders, they might find a loophole

"Understood"

"Understood"

Listening to Yang Zhenshan and Liu Yangxing's firm answers, I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, and secretly said sorry to them. It was already obvious that there were puppet agents lurking among the migrant workers, and I knew it was a trap, but I still let them, my comrade-in-arms and good brothers, jump into it. And they also knew that this jump was more than lucky, but they still didn't hesitate.

The reason for this is because the boss has not left the danger zone, and I can't let the puppet agents have any suspicions, otherwise they are not responsible for the boss's safety.

I think the warriors will understand me because they understand, so there will be no doubts; Because they understand, that's why they answer so simply, but I don't know why, I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart, so uncomfortable that I want to kill myself

The convoy slowly drove forward again, and this time it encountered no obstacles, nor any other abnormalities, and drove out of the range of migrant workers carrying corpses without any danger.

"Xiao Chen, there is a set" The boss smiled and gave me a thumbs up: "No wonder you have made so many contributions on the battlefield, our troops just need a commander like you"

"The boss has won the award, and it's all insignificant cleverness"

"Eh" the boss objected: "If it takes ten minutes to think of a way, it is indeed clever." But you made a decision in less than a minute, this is your ability, you need such talents on the battlefield, work hard, and strive to be a division commander and army commander."

"Yes," I replied.

Company Commander Zhao turned his head and looked at me enviously. I know what that look represents, and to be appreciated by the boss, it's not easy to 'mix' a name for myself in the future, but I know that it's not...... I looked at the wise and admirable boss beside me, and he didn't know what fate awaited him at home after this war

"Bang bang ......" Several gunshots came from behind him, startling everyone back like thunder, followed by a series of gunshots.

My boss and I sat quietly and didn't move. This is something I had expected for a long time, and if we successfully passed, it would mean that the puppet army agents would target the second and third convoys.

I gritted my teeth and ordered the walkie-talkie: "The first team accelerates, the second and third teams finish their tasks and return to the regimental headquarters on their own"

"Yes"

"Yes"

I only heard the answers of two people, and I waited for a while and didn't hear Yang Zhenshan's voice, so I understood something

It's not that the fighters don't have good military qualities, it's that they can't fight and don't want to fight...... The puppet army agents are so poisonous that they would even think of hiding in the migrant workers.

The volunteer soldiers have a special affection for these civilians from the country. We are the people's soldiers, and our existence is for the safety of the people and for the people to live a good life...... Even if they are all sharpshooters, even if all of them are experienced in battles, they will still be very careful and hard to distinguish which puppet army agent is which one is the common people.

There is only one such result, and that is to be passively beaten

The soldiers once again used their blood and lives to witness the situation of the army and the people, and to witness that we are a force from the people

Wang Xinhe's voice came from the walkie-talkie of "discovering the enemy's situation": "But it's not much, only four or five"

"Kill them and cover the boss's passage"

"Yes" Wang Xin responded, and the two cars in front of him separated one left and one right, and then "......bang bang" a few shots, and there were a few screams in the darkness ahead

The puppet army agents are obviously understaffed, and there are only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of them, who also want to block a convoy like ours

But at this moment, I suddenly felt a cool swishing patch behind my back, as if someone was pointing a gun in my direction from behind. Without thinking, I blocked behind the boss, and at the same time pulled out my pistol and pointed it at the back as fast as I could, but the scene I saw made me stunned on the spot.

It was Jin Qiulian who raised a gun and aimed at the boss
