"Okay, Comrade Sun Lei, oh, no, I've heard that the soldiers in your platoon call you Sun Monkey. From then on, I'll call you Monkey Cub. Our whole company has only captured more than 30 Korean soldiers, and your kid alone has captured fifteen Korean soldiers, accounting for nearly half of them.

"You monkey cub is not simple, not only does you know Korean, but you can also speak Korean. Teach the soldiers of our whole company how to say things like raising your hands, disarming and surrendering, and surrendering your guns without killing them in Korean.

"After that, if we see South Korean soldiers on the battlefield again, we will tell them this in Korean. At that time, there will definitely be many frightened South Korean soldiers who will definitely take the initiative to surrender to us. In this way, we can reduce casualties and at the same time achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight. ”

Zhao Yifa, the commander of the third company of the Volunteer Army, after assembling the team, praised Sun Lei, a recruit soldier of the third company, one platoon, and one squad in front of the soldiers of the whole company.

As the company commander, Zhao Yifa just praised Sun Lei by name, and the instructor Wang Wenju, who stood side by side with him, immediately took the lead in applauding and said with a smile: "Come, comrades, come together for Comrade Sun Lei, today's excellent performance in the battle in this Liangshuidong area, quack, chirp." ”

Seeing the instructor Wang Wenju, they all applauded, and the officers and soldiers of the whole company, including the company commander Zhao Yifa, also applauded Sun Lei, and they all had a victory smile on their cheeks.

After all, this was the first battle they had fought since the three of them gave the order to enter the DPRK issued by their superiors, and at the same time, it was also a victory, which naturally made the officers and men of the whole company rejoice.

What's more, in this Liangshuidong encounter, their third company, as the "sharp knife company" of the whole regiment, not only brilliantly completed the combat mission of intercepting the ROK troops to continue their northward advance, but also captured more than 30 ROK soldiers and paid a very small price for casualties of more than 20 soldiers, which was already quite not easy.

However, the team now assembled by the Third Company used to be 97 people, but now there are 75 people left, excluding the 12 soldiers who died in battle, and the 10 soldiers who were seriously wounded and carried to the field hospital of the division headquarters on stretchers for treatment.

This also includes the five soldiers whose injuries are not very serious, and who have been simply bandaged by the hygienists and joined the assembly team, which can really be described as slightly injured and unable to get out of the line of fire, which is a true portrayal of these volunteer soldiers.

Listening to the soldiers clapping their bloodstained hands and clapping one after another, Sun Lei's heart was naturally sweeter than eating honey.

However, in the assembled team, Niu Tiezhu, who was separated from Sun Lei by two soldiers, was crying and mourning, giving people a sullen look.

Because in his opinion, in the battle just now, with that big blade, he hacked eight South Korean soldiers to death and captured one South Korean soldier. And Sun Lei used the bayonet on the 38 big cover rifle in his hand to stab five South Korean soldiers to death, but captured 15 South Korean soldiers.

If you talk about combat merits, Niu Tiezhu is the person who killed the most enemies in the third company, and the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju never mentioned the praise of Niu Tiezhu, but praised Sun Lei in a harmonious manner.

Under the influence of the psychology of comparison, Niu Tiezhu was naturally neither convinced nor satisfied with this in his heart, but he was not good at vomiting in front of the soldiers of the whole company, and he had to write all his anger on his face when he was sulking.

After the applause gradually faded away, company commander Zhao Yifa, who had just looked kind and pleasant, now turned to a serious face and said loudly: "Comrades, in this morning's battle, our third company won the first victory since the invasion of Korea at the cost of very few casualties, which is very exciting. ”

At this point, he paused, then changed his words, and continued in a commanding tone: "However, the next combat mission will be even more arduous. Below, I announce. Our third company rested in place, waiting for further operational instructions from the superiors to disband. ”

When the company commander Zhao Yifa spit out the word "disbandment" from his mouth, many of the soldiers standing in the team, many of them were tired and exhausted, and they all did it on the thick snow.

Not only that, because of the fierce fighting that they had just experienced for more than two hours, their bodies were all dirty, and many of the soldiers' clothes were stained with enemy blood.

It is no wonder that in this valley area called Liangshuidong, the American companies encountered and the battalion of the South Korean Army mistakenly thought that they were the Korean People's Army, and did not think about the Chinese soldiers entering the Korean War at all.

No, Sun Lei, who loves cleanliness and hygiene, walked not far away and found a piece of clean snow that had not been trampled on, he picked up a large handful of snow with both hands, first wiped his cheeks stained with mud and blood, and then rubbed his hands that were about to freeze a few times with the snow.

Although the snow was not as good as the water, it could wash away the mud and blood stains, but after he wiped it this time, it did look much cleaner than before. Moreover, the hands that were originally cold became a little hot after rubbing them with snow.

Many soldiers of the third company saw Sun Lei wiping his cheeks with snow and steaming hands, and they all followed suit.

Sun Lei, who had finished wiping, was about to return to the place where their company was assembled, but was blocked by the squad leader Niu Tiezhu.

"Squad leader, what do you mean by not letting me go?" Sun Lei, who was walking back, looked at the angry Niu Tiezhu while snorting hot, and asked puzzledly.

It's good that he didn't ask, but this question made Niu Tiezhu angry, Niu Tiezhu said in an angry tone: "Sun Lei, your kid doesn't have a big memory, but he forgets a lot."

"Let me remind you, before our third company had a white-knuckle battle with the Korean soldiers, you and I had a competition to see who killed more Korean soldiers on the battlefield. Although I didn't have as many prisoners as your kid, I used one of my big blades to kill far more Korean soldiers than you......"

After hearing this, Sun Lei suddenly realized, he immediately interrupted his words, faced Niu Tiezhu with both hands in his fists, bowed, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, squad leader, don't continue to talk." This time, you won, I'm willing to bow down, it's okay now. ”

Originally, Niu Tiezhu thought that when Sun Lei admitted defeat in front of them, he would be very happy in his heart, but now, I don't know why, he was not happy at all, and felt that it was too easy for him to win this competition.
