Chapter 188: Airdrop Package
The US military transport plane, which was flying at a low altitude, suddenly slowed down when it flew over the hillside, and when it swept over the heads of the volunteer soldiers of the Third Company of the Sharp Knife Company, it suddenly airdropped five large bags of food and supplies in the cabin.
After the airdrop was completed, the US military transport plane turned around and continued to speed up in the night sky in the direction of Xiajiayuli, five kilometers north of the hillside.
What made it unbelievable to the volunteer soldiers of the three companies of sharp knives who had gathered around the three fires that the US military transport plane, which had flown away more than 10 minutes earlier, turned back and flew over their heads, giving them five large bags of food and supplies.
Although, all the soldiers of the third company of the sharp knife company, except for Sun Lei, including the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, they all raised their heads and looked up at the night sky, and by the light of the skyrocketing fire, they saw a total of five large packages with small parachutes tied to them, slowly falling down, everyone's cheeks began to be filled with excited expressions, and they were also very excited in their hearts.
It was difficult to hide the excitement in their hearts, and when they were about to stand on the ground for a cheering celebration, they were immediately stopped by Sun Lei, who kept a calm head.
"Comrades, let's not be too happy, the US military transport plane has not flown far yet, and they must not be able to alarm the US military pilot flying the transport plane now, and we must exercise restraint and calm." Sun Lei immediately poured a basin of cold water on the soldiers of the three companies of sharp knives who were about to cheer and celebrate.
Don't really say it, what Sun Lei said is quite effective, just now the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju were thinking about leading the soldiers of the whole company to celebrate well.
Now I immediately realized that what Sun Lei said was very reasonable, and at this time, the two of them first exchanged glances with each other, and then, the instructor Wang Wenju greeted the excited soldiers, and said in a commanding tone: "Comrades, without the order of me and the company commander, you must stay where you are, do not move around at will, and are not allowed to laugh, you must remain calm and calm." ”
Just waiting for the instructor Wang Wenju's order, the soldiers who were all smiling just now all restrained the smiles on their cheeks, and they all stayed in place honestly, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the three companies of sharp knives at this time, the five large packages of the US military transport plane, which was about to disappear from their sight, would immediately land beside them under the effect of a small parachute tied to it.
From then on, they no longer have to go hungry for the shortage of rations, for fear of causing something bad at this time, naturally they are all very obedient, it can be said that what the instructor Wang Wenju said, can be described by a four-character idiom, called: Obey the words.
In less than two minutes, with the five large packages with small parachutes attached to them, they landed safely on the ground, only about fifty meters away from where they were.
At this time, Sun Lei, who had an extremely developed sense of hearing, could no longer hear the roar of the US military transport plane that had flown north, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, company commander, instructor, I think now, the US military transport plane that just returned should have flown far away, and we can now send someone to move the five large packages 50 meters away into the air-raid shelter, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Sun Lei walked up to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and said in a somewhat urging tone.
Company Commander Zhao Yifa and Instructor Wang Wenju, who were standing side by side, after the two of them glanced at each other, Company Commander Zhao Yifa said thoughtfully: "Platoon Commander Sun, the task of transporting those five large packages to the air-raid shelter on the other side of our trench will be handed over to your platoon."
"The instructor and I withdrew first with the rest of our sharp knife company, and it is estimated that after this US military transport plane has airdropped food and supplies in the lower corner, if we find out that they have been deceived, we will definitely come to this place to settle accounts."
After listening to the instructions of the company commander Zhao Yifa, Sun Lei, as the platoon commander, immediately agreed: "Okay, company commander, I will lead our soldiers in the platoon to carry the five large packages." ”
After saying goodbye to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, Sun Lei immediately took their soldiers from the first and second squads and rushed to the five large packages that landed on the ground fifty meters away.
Just a few blinks of his eyelids, Sun Lei led someone to lift the five large packages, at that time, each package was about a one-meter square cube, which should not be too heavy.
However, when they started to carry it, they found that the weight of each package should be at least about one hundred and fifty catties, and if it was placed in peacetime, for the volunteer soldiers, one hundred and eighty catties of things could be carried on one person's shoulder.
But now it is true that the soldiers have not eaten a full meal for two days, and their physical strength is naturally not comparable to that of normal times, so they have to hobble in the direction of the trenches and bomb shelters with four people carrying a package.
You must know that from the place where they got the package, there are more than 200 meters between the trenches and the bomb shelters, and there is still more than 20 centimeters of thick snow under their feet, so it is natural that they can walk a little slowly.
After the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju took the rest of the company with sharp knives and three companies to hide in the air-raid shelter connected with the trenches, Sun Lei and the soldiers of the first and second squads had just walked halfway there.
In total, it was only a distance of more than 200 meters, but the package they were carrying was too heavy, and there was more than 20 centimeters of snow on the hillside, so it took them five minutes to finally reach the trench.
On this side, Sun Lei took the volunteer soldiers of the first and second squads of the third company of the sharp knife company, and stepped into the trench on the hillside with the five heavy packages that were airdropped.
Over there, the US military transport plane also successfully arrived at the destination of the flight, Xiajieyuli, and landed safely and smoothly at an airstrip under construction on the outskirts of Xiajieyuli.
As soon as the US military transport plane landed on the runway of the grounding airport, at the same time, Lee Doo-hyun, commander of the ROK military battalion, took his operational staff officer Kim Sung-ki and a company of ROK soldiers to drive over slowly in more than a dozen trucks.
