Wang Erkui and others, who were originally full of doubts about Sun Lei, witnessed that Sun Lei's method of using a snowball to heat up was very feasible and effective, and they changed from sneering at Sun Lei just now to praising Brin at this time.

Of course, in less than a minute after praising Sun Lei, they all grabbed a large piece of snow from the snow next to them and formed a big snowball.

At first, they warmed their hands with a large snowball, and when they warmed their hands, they took off their wet cotton boots and socks to warm their cold feet.

In less than half an hour, Sun Lei led a total of 55 volunteer soldiers to warm their hands, hands and feet with snowballs from their respective regiments.

An hour ago, the volunteer soldiers who had just stopped to rest in place were still shivering from the cold, and it had only been more than an hour, and while they had warmed their hands and feet, their whole body had become hot.

At the beginning, Sun Lei, as the platoon commander, asked the 55 volunteer soldiers led by him to rest on the spot for half an hour before setting off.

After all of them warmed up their bodies, Sun Lei felt that if they continued to delay in this place, if they wanted to rush to the front line to find the large army of volunteers, I was afraid that it would greatly exceed the time agreed in the telegram before.

So, Sun Lei looked at the watch he was wearing on the wrist of his left hand, it was already eleven o'clock at night, and there was still a distance of almost 150 kilometers from where the front line troops were, and he had to continue to hurry.

"Comrades, gather quickly, let's get ready to set off and move on!" Sun Lei looked around at the volunteer soldiers who were standing in groups of three or five around him, and hurriedly greeted the big guys, and said in a somewhat urgent tone.

After this time, Sun Lei used the method of group snowball to get heat, so that the attitude of the fifty-five volunteer soldiers who followed him changed 180 degrees.

Previously, they all thought that Sun Lei was not suitable for the platoon commander who led the team at all, and they were naturally not convinced by him in their hearts, but they were polite to him on the surface, and they didn't tear their faces.

And at this moment, they all admired Sun Lei, and naturally responded positively to his call, and no one treated him with the same vision as before.

In less than ten seconds, the volunteer soldiers who had gathered together just now were chatting with each other in groups of three or five, and immediately formed a team of five rows and eleven columns, waiting for Sun Lei's next order.

After Sun Lei glanced at the fifty-five volunteer soldiers who were in high spirits, he turned around, waved his big hand, and gave orders: "Listen to my orders, comrades, follow me and continue to advance south." ”

In this regard, Sun Lei and the fifty-five soldiers behind him, according to the meeting point marked on the map, relying on the direction specified by the compass, in this harsh environment of ice and snow, at six o'clock tomorrow morning, when the sky was just dawning, finally arrived at the designated place and joined the large army on the front line.

To Sun Lei's great surprise, the place where the 56 of them joined the front-line troops turned out to be Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, and two days ago, they had already recovered this lost territory that had been occupied for more than half a year.

What he never expected was that after they joined up with the large army of the front-line volunteers who had recovered the city of Pyongyang, North Korea, they were assigned to the original hero company, the third company of the Sharp Knife Company.

After seeing the company commander Zhao Yifa, Sun Lei couldn't help the tears flowing down from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly pounced on him, and hugged Zhao Yifa warmly.

"Company commander, I finally found you and our Sharp Knife Company Three Companies, since the battle of Songgu Peak more than ten days ago, I learned that our Sharp Knife Company Three Companies suffered heavy casualties, I really didn't expect to be able to see you again on the front line, my mood is so excited." Sun Lei hugged Zhao Yifa warmly and said excitedly.

Company commander Zhao Yifa also hugged Sun Lei, who he hadn't seen for many days, since he completed the blocking task on the Songgufeng position two weeks ago, and withdrew with the remnants of a platoon, he followed the large army to continue to advance south, and he never saw Sun Lei and other soldiers in a platoon of sharp knives again.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Zhao Yifa, who continued to follow the large army of the front line to advance south, saw a report in the newspaper in the volunteer army about their Sharp Knife Company defending the Battle of Songgu Peak for three consecutive years, and learned that Sun Lei and Zhang Dake were the only two soldiers left in the first row of the Sharp Knife Company, and the other soldiers in the first row of the Sharp Knife Platoon died heroically on the battlefield of the position.

Seeing Sun Lei this time, it naturally made the company commander Zhao Yifa feel more cordial, and while gently patting Sun Lei's back with his hand, he also comforted with tears in his eyes: "Comrade Sun Lei, in the battle of Songgu Peak more than ten days ago, our sharp knife company did suffer heavy casualties in three companies.

"By the end of the battle, there is only about one platoon left in the third company of our sharp knife company, and only you and Zhang Dake survived in your platoon. Instructor Comrade Wang Wenju and I took the remaining platoon of soldiers and continued to fight with the large army advancing southward.

"More than ten days later, a large force of our volunteer army recaptured Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. In the past two days, we will temporarily take a short rest in Pyongyang City, and according to the instructions of the head of the Zhi Division, we will resume the establishment of our Sharp Knife Company and the 55 people brought by your boy will also be incorporated into our new Sharp Knife Company and Third Company. Now, you kid is going to fight under my hands again. ”

When Zhao Yifa just finished speaking, the instructor Wang Wenju who was standing on the side immediately said: "Comrade Sun Lei, not only that, in view of your boy's excellent performance in many battles before, especially in the battle of Songgu Peak, which has become an example for our whole army to learn, I will let you be the platoon commander of the first platoon of the newly formed sharp knife platoon."

"Also, the fifty-five soldiers brought by your kid are all arranged into a new row of sharp knives as a reinforced platoon. More than 100 miles to the south is the 38th parallel, and there are still a lot of tough battles to be fought in the future, and our sharp knife company will rely on this reinforced platoon led by your kid, and I and Company Commander Zhao are very good-looking to you. ”
