Liu Yiming, the commander of the second platoon of the third company of the Sharp Knife Company, and Feng Pengju, the commander of the third platoon, who were waiting in the trench, heard the continuous sound of gunfire from the direction of Xiajieyuli, five kilometers away on the north side of the hillside, and after less than five minutes, the two of them, who couldn't help but be excited, found the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju in the middle of the trench.

Without waiting for the two of them to ask, instructor Wang Wenju smiled and took the lead in asking: "What's the matter, Comrade Liu Yiming, Comrade Feng Pengju, are you two platoon commanders unable to hold their breath?" ”

After his thoughts were guessed by the instructor Wang Wenju, Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju, who were standing side by side, first glanced at each other, and then Liu Yiming replied: "Yes, instructor, our volunteer army has launched a fierce attack on this military fortress in Xiajieyuli, and this offensive has lasted for about a long time. ”

Immediately afterwards, Feng Pengju echoed and said: "Platoon Commander Liu is very right, instructor, company commander, you two leaders talk about it, the soldiers of our three companies of sharp knives, but the sentence looks forward to the moon and looks forward to the arrival of this day."

"It's good now, our volunteer army is attacking Xiajieyuli and fighting hotly, but our three companies of sharp knives are now staying on this hillside, and I don't know if the American troops stationed in this military fortress in Xiajieyu will retreat south.

"In case they don't want to retreat south, but choose to break through to the east or west, then wouldn't we have to wait for more than three days on this hillside in vain? In my opinion, instead of waiting on this hillside, we should take the initiative and let me and Platoon Commander Liu and the two of us, with the soldiers of the second and third platoons, go down to the north side of the hillside and take a closer look. If we find out that the U.S. troops retreating from the lower corner are not coming to the south side where we are, we will have time to deal with it. ”

As soon as Feng Pengju's words fell, Zhao Yifa, the company commander who was a little anxious, was in a good mood just now, but now he had a black face, and scolded Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju and the two of them: "You two guys, you are just messing around."

"The regimental headquarters gave us the order to fight a blocking battle on the hillside, and we must hold on to this hillside. Even if the U.S. troops who escaped from this military fortress in Xiajieyu did not pass near our hillside, then we should not act without permission, this is a death order, and the two of you should not even think about it.

"Now, I order the two of you to hurry back to the position where you are on guard, and whoever dares to bother me with such words again, Lao Tzu will shut him up and remove him. You two don't have a pestle here, fucking fuck off. ”

What Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju never expected was that the two of them volunteered to take the initiative to fight, and they didn't even have company commander Zhao Yifa to scold him with a scolding face, which suddenly made them feel aggrieved in their hearts.

However, the two of them still have some understanding of the company commander Zhao Yifa's acute temper, if at this time, the two of them continue to talk about this topic, it is estimated that the company commander Zhao Yifa will really do what he says, and when the time comes, the two of them will be removed from the ministry, and if they are locked up and cannot participate in the next battle, it will be more than worth the loss.

Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju, who were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, secretly weighed the pros and cons in their hearts, and then turned around in a huff, from the excitement just now, to the defeat at this time.

After Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju walked away, Wang Wenju, the instructor who was standing on the side and didn't squeak just now, saw that the company commander Zhao Yi's anger had decreased a lot, so he walked up to him and persuaded him with kind words: "Lao Zhao, look at you, why are you angry at your subordinates at every turn, and it is also a good intention for the two of them to take the initiative to ask for battle."

"If you explain the principled issues to the two of them, why are you so angry? This anger not only hurts the body, but also hurts the feelings between each other. In my opinion, it's enough to persuade the two of them with good words, and there is no need for you to get so angry. ”

For the kind words and persuasion of instructor Wang Wenju, the company commander Zhao Yifa was still a little bit unpopular, and he tried his best to defend himself: "Comrade Wang, you don't know anything, Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju, the two stinky boys, are the masters who eat hard and don't eat soft.

"If my attitude towards them just now was as pleasant as your attitude towards me now, I guess these two guys would kick their noses in the face. Instead, I scolded them, and they both went back honestly. In the words of your literati, this is called brine point tofu - one thing down one thing. ”

Now even the old and rough company commander Zhao Yifa began to pull up the words, so that the instructor Wang Wenju, who was standing in front of him, couldn't help but be handsome, feeling that his old partner was really a rough and fine person, and his simple and rough personality could sometimes come in handy.

Suddenly, at this time, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju said in a consultative tone: "Comrade Wang, I see that the two guys Liu Yiming and Feng Pengju just now are too excited, and if they really take the first platoon and the second platoon to fight this blocking battle, there will definitely be problems." In my opinion, wait a minute, when I am fighting a blocking war, I must let Sun Lei, this kid, give me a top, and now, I can only rest assured that Sun Lei, this kid. ”

After listening to this proposal of the company commander Zhao Yifa, instructor Wang Wenju also thought for a few seconds, and he also agreed: "Comrade Zhao, this proposal of yours is very good, Comrade Sun Lei has carried out many arduous tasks, and he has completed them very well.

"I believe that with him leading the participation in this blocking battle, we can play a beautiful and wonderful victory, and the certainty will increase a lot. It's just that I'm worried that I just finished carrying out the mission of blowing up the airport and rested for less than half an hour, but I'm afraid that Comrade Sun Lei's body won't be able to bear it. ”

Although Sun Lei, who was squatting in front of the air-raid shelter at this time, his body did feel a little tired, but his heart was also very excited, and he was naturally very eager to participate in this blocking battle, because this was his first head-to-head confrontation with the US military troops.
