After Wang Wenju, the instructor of the third company of the Sharp Knife Company, determined the location of Songgu Peak on the map, he discussed it with his old partner company commander Zhao Yifa, and finally decided to wait until Zhang Dake returned with the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Squad before they set off and continued to hurry, striving to rush to this place called Songgu Peak before dawn tomorrow.

The soldiers who were resting on the spot, after eating a hot potato that had been distributed to them, felt very hungry in their stomachs, after all, for them who were tired and hungry, how could they fill their stomachs with just eating a potato.

Considering that there was still a road of almost 50 kilometers to catch up, company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju immediately made a decision to take out all the white noodles that were left less than a catty, so that the soldiers of the whole company could drink a few sips of hot soup.

So, at the edge of the village at the foot of the mountain, the soldiers of the three companies of the sharp knife company each ate a large bowl of wild vegetable and white flour soup, although there was no oil, water and salt, but each soldier ate with relish, as if they were eating a sumptuous meal.

Under the circumstances at that time, being able to drink hot soup every day was a luxury for the volunteer soldiers who could not be effectively guaranteed for logistics supply, which was incomprehensible to those who had not experienced the war of that era.

Of course, at the request of the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor, the cooking squad also specially reserved a small half pot of wild vegetable and white flour soup for the soldiers of the sharp knife squad who had not yet returned.

After about an hour, Zhang Dake returned here with the soldiers of the sharp knife squad, and under the urging of the company commander Zhao Yifa, it took them less than five minutes to drink all the hot wild vegetable and white noodle soup that everyone was allotted.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the time came to half past eight in the morning, and the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju took the soldiers of the three companies of the sharp knife company who had rested in place for more than two hours, and continued to set off in the direction where Songgu Peak was located.

Needless to say, this time it was the Sharp Knife Squad and the Assault Squad that were separated in front of the team of the Third Company of the Sharp Knife Company to take the lead, and in view of the fact that the soldiers of the assault squad had just rushed to the mountain road for more than an hour, they escorted the five South Korean soldiers captured by Sun Lei to the regiment headquarters.

Sun Lei and the assault squad soldiers he led followed the large army of the three companies of the sharp knife company to rest in place for more than two hours, and naturally maintained a good physical strength.

Zhang Dake, who was very unconvinced by Sun Lei in his heart, saw that the soldiers of the assault squad walking on their right were walking one by one, and they all looked energetic.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the sharp knife squad he brought with him were all like frosted eggplants - wilted, so naturally they did not have any capital and confidence, and then they would call Sun Lei like before to see who finally reached the destination of the march.

Even the soldiers of the assault squad he led had abundant physical strength, and Sun Lei did not provoke Zhang Dake, who had opposed him everywhere before, at this time, and he couldn't do anything to take advantage of the danger.

In this way, the soldiers of the assault squad and the sharp knife company, which were the leaders of the three companies of the Sharp Knife Company, traveled from day to night without incident, which made the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju feel quite satisfied.

The reason why Zhang Dake was asked to take the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company to escort the five captured South Korean soldiers to the regiment headquarters at that time was because the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju considered that they were afraid that Zhang Dake would compete with Sun Lei again and harm the soldiers of the two squads, which they did not want to see.

Under the leadership of company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, the soldiers of the third company of the Sharp Knife Company rushed to Songgu Peak, the combat site where they were interspersed behind enemy lines, at four o'clock in the morning of the next day.

After secretly guessing that the destination of their march this time was Songgu Peak, Sun Lei originally thought that the place where the name sounded good should be a big mountain, but when they really arrived here, they found that it was just an ordinary mountain.

Don't look at this Songgu Peak, it's just a small mountain bag that is half dirt and half rock. Judging from the development of the war at that time, its strategic position was very important.

This small mountain called Songgu Peak is located in the northeast of Longyuanli, and forms a strong momentum with Sansholi and Longyuanli. It leads to Junyuli in the north and can reach the Vale River in the northwest. Its main peak is 288.7 meters above sea level, and it extends about 100 meters from the top of the mountain to the east.

Less than a few minutes after arriving at this peak, called Longyuan Peak, company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju received a notice from the heralds who rushed from the regimental headquarters, asking them to stick to the small mountain of Songgu Peak, block and intercept the US-ROK coalition troops retreating from the north to the south, and strive not to let go of an enemy unit fleeing south.

Regarding this combat mission issued by the regiment headquarters, company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju asked the herald who had rushed from the regiment headquarters to convey the military order made by the two of them to the regiment commander in person after he returned.

That is, if they did not have the order to retreat from their superiors, they would hold the Songgu Ridge position to the death, even if they fought to the last man left.

After sending the herald soldier who had come down from the regiment headquarters away, company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju conveyed the combat mission to the soldiers of the whole company.

Unexpectedly, the soldier who had just conveyed the combat mission and was responsible for guarding the direction of the highway more than 100 meters to the east hurriedly reported to the company commander Zhao Yifa: "Report to the ...... Report to the company commander, I ...... I just found out that on the road on the east side of us, there are a lot of American devils and South Korean puppet soldiers from the north from 6, and they have come to report to you, the company commander. ”

Zhao Yifa, the company commander who was commanding and leading the soldiers to build improvised fortifications on Songgu Peak, heard the report of this scout, he put down the military shovel in his hand and said angrily: "Isn't it just a unit of the US-South Korean coalition army coming from the north of the road, what is there to make a fuss about, what are you kid nervous about, it's really useless, take me to take a look." ”

When he followed the scout to a place more than 50 meters away from the highway, the company commander Zhao Yifa took out his worn-out telescope and looked in the direction of the north side of the highway.

As far as the company commander Zhao Yifa could see through the telescope held by Zhao Yifa, a huge contingent of US-ROK troops had rushed from the north of the highway at a distance of about 200 meters from where they were, and they were rushing towards Songgu Peak, where they were.
