"Xiao Wu, come over here. I now order you to send a telegram back to the regimental headquarters at once, asking when the large army of our volunteers will launch an attack on Xiajieyuli. Company commander Zhao Yifa was stunned, and after muttering for a long time, he called the telegraph operator Wu Cheng to him and commanded in a commanding tone.

As soon as the company commander Zhao Yi's voice fell, Wu Cheng, the telegraph operator standing in front of him, immediately replied: "Okay, company commander, I will send a telegram to the regiment headquarters to ask for the time according to your instructions just now." ”

As soon as the telegraph operator Wu Cheng turned around and was about to leave, the instructor standing aside also said in an anxious tone: "Comrade Xiao Wu, go and come back quickly, the company commander and I are still waiting for the telegram from the regiment headquarters." ”

After turning around again, Wu Cheng, the telegraph operator, immediately patted his chest and assured the instructor Wang Wenju: "Instructor, you can rest assured, as long as the regiment headquarters replies to the telegram, after I write out the translation, I will definitely come over and report to the instructor and the company commander as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, Wu Cheng, the telegraph operator, bent his waist down, leaned down, and trotted all the way through the trench to the place where the radio station was more than 100 meters away.

According to common sense, the radio signal would be better if it was placed on a higher place, and the radio station was placed in the highest place on the hillside of about two hundred where they were located.

After listening to the conversation between the telegraph operator Wu Cheng, the company commander Zhao Yifa, and the instructor Wang Wenju, Sun Lei couldn't help but let out a "grunt" in his heart, and secretly felt that something was wrong.

At this time, in his opinion, if the regimental headquarters could really determine the time to rush to Xiajieyuli and launch a siege, then in the telegram that Wu Cheng received from the regimental headquarters just now, the regimental headquarters would definitely tell them the exact time of the Sharp Knife Company and the Third Company.

The reason why the regimental headquarters did not disclose the specific time in the telegram that gave them the three companies of sharp knives was because I was afraid that the regimental headquarters would not be able to determine the specific time when they could rush to Xiajieyuli, and the time of the siege was impossible to talk about.

After thinking of this, Sun Lei felt that this problem should be left to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju to solve, anyway, he had just completed the reconnaissance task, and now there was nothing to do with him, so he hurriedly sent a love letter to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju to return to the position where their platoon was, and meet the volunteer soldiers in the platoon.

In response to Sun Lei's request, company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju said in unison almost at the same time, without thinking: "Comrade Sun Lei, don't be in a hurry to leave, wait until Comrade Xiao Wu brings a telegram from the regiment headquarters, and when the time comes, you can help the two of us staff on the combat deployment." ”

Seeing that the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju had spoken, Sun Lei had no choice but to continue to stay and wait for the result of the telegram replied by the regiment headquarters, anyway, he felt that the telegram replied by the regiment headquarters should not be much different from his prediction just now.

Sure enough, less than five minutes later, telegraph operator Wu Cheng trotted all the way to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and handed over the translation of the telegram replied by the regiment headquarters.

When he took over the translation of the telegram from Wu Cheng's hand, the company commander Zhao was immediately dumbfounded, because the content of the telegram replied by the regiment headquarters turned out to be: I don't know the specific time, but the third company of your sharp knife company will continue to hold on to the position without revealing its true identity, and when the large army arrives at Xiajieyuli, it will contact your unit as soon as possible and inform you of the specific combat time.

After seeing the content of this telegram sent by the regiment headquarters, the company commander Zhao Yifa immediately felt half cold, and secretly complained in his heart: I don't even know the specific time, let us stick to this hillside when will it be the end.

What's more, now most of the soldiers of the third company of our sharp knife company have eaten all the rations they carry, fried noodles, if the large army cannot reach the lower corner and launch an attack within three days, then we will probably starve to death in the third company of the sharp knife.

After a long sigh, the company commander Zhao Yifa handed the telegram to the instructor Wang Wenju who was squatting next to him, shook his head lightly and said: "Alas, Lao Wang, you hurry up and take a look at the content of the telegram sent by the regiment headquarters, we are estimated to suffer this time." ”

Instructor Wang Wenju took the telegram and looked at it fixedly, and was stunned at that time, putting on a silent appearance, and the look on his cheeks was much more solemn.

Seeing that the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju both looked sad, Sun Lei immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and I am afraid that his guess that the big thing just now was not good has come true.

"Platoon Commander Sun, this is the content of the telegram sent to us by the regiment headquarters, you can also take a look." Instructor Wang Wenju handed the telegram in his hand to Sun Lei, and after Sun Lei took it, he changed his words and said in a hurried tone: "Comrade Sun Lei, after you read the content of this telegram, tell me your opinion, let's even what to do next." ”

Since Sun Lei joined the third company of the sharp knife company, whether it is the company commander Zhao Yifa or the instructor Wang Wenju, they all have great trust and appreciation for him, but whenever they encounter more difficult things, they will let Sun Lei think of some ways to come out as soon as possible.

Moreover, every time Sun Lei comes up with a method, it is not a decent type, and sometimes, he even goes off the rails, but after being adopted by company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, the effect is still very good.

After reading the contents of the telegram, Sun Lei felt that the problem of their lack of food for three consecutive times with sharp knives was probably not a top priority, and the most difficult thing was to stick to this hillside position without being discovered by the enemy.

However, once it is daylight, the US military will dispatch a large number of planes to carry out reconnaissance and bombing missions in the air, and even if they are hiding in this trench with a length of about 150 meters, even if they are hiding in this trench with a length of about 150 meters, they can still hide people's eyes and ears at night, but if it is during the day, they will certainly be exposed to US planes.

Without food rations to eat, it should not be a problem for people to last three to five days under normal circumstances, but once they are exposed, the US military planes carrying out reconnaissance missions in the air only need to drop a dozen bombs, and it is estimated that they will be wiped out in three companies with sharp knives.

After some careful consideration, Sun Lei finally thought of a solution that could be solved temporarily, and immediately approached the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, attached it to their ears, and whispered.

Just now, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju were still full of sadness, after listening to what Sun Lei said, the two of them immediately became overjoyed, and also nodded, thinking that this method should be possible, and gave Sun Lei a thumbs up.
