Chapter 196: Keeping Warm from the Cold
When Sun Lei finished telling the distribution plan of materials, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju first glanced at each other, and then nodded slightly at each other, which was regarded as agreeing to the material distribution plan proposed by Sun Lei.
Subsequently, the company commander Zhao Yifa said with a smile on his face: "Platoon Commander Sun, the instructor and I have agreed to the material distribution plan you just mentioned, and then, you will take the lead and distribute the materials to the comrades of our company one by one." ”
After providing the material distribution plan, Sun Lei thought that his work was done, and then, he waited for the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju to distribute a day's worth of supplies to everyone in the three companies of the sharp knife.
What he never expected was that the company commander Zhao Yifa not only asked him to put forward the distribution plan of the materials, but also distributed the materials to everyone in the three companies of the Sharp Knife Company, and he was responsible for it alone, and he suddenly fell into a hesitant mood.
After all, in Sun Lei's opinion, as a platoon commander, it is barely reasonable for him to distribute supplies to the soldiers in his platoon, but if he is asked to distribute materials to the soldiers of the whole company, I am afraid that some people will question him for enriching his own pockets in the process of distributing materials.
Instructor Wang Wenju saw Sun Lei standing in front of him and company commander Zhao Yifa, but he stayed where he was stunned, and immediately saw through what Sun Lei was thinking in his heart at this moment, and felt that it was necessary to talk openly and honestly to Sun Lei.
After about ten seconds, instructor Wang Wenju gently patted Sun Lei's shoulder with his hand, and asked with a pleasant face: "I said, Comrade Sun Lei, Sun Da platoon leader, are you worried that some people in our company will say that you are now the platoon commander of a platoon, and when distributing materials to the big guys, some people will say that you are pretending to be a public servant and filling your own pockets?" ”
Faced with the inquiry of instructor Wang Wenju, Sun Lei felt that there was no need to continue to hide his true thoughts, so he replied truthfully: "Instructor, guess what I think now, I really think so, so I think it is not appropriate for me to distribute supplies and medicine to everyone in the company." ”
After listening to Sun Lei's answer, without waiting for instructor Wang Wenju to speak, Zhao Yifa, the company commander standing on the side, immediately raised his voice and took the lead in hugging Sun Lei and said: "Platoon Commander Sun, you are too worried, if you don't have this batch of materials, it will be absolutely impossible for us to get three sharp knives."
"Since these materials were all sent to us by your kid through your own ingenuity, you kid deceived the American devils into airdropping us, just by virtue of this, the instructor and I will obey you, I want to see who in us even dares to disobey you. That's it, it's up to your platoon commander Sun to distribute supplies to the comrades, you don't have to excuse yourself, the big guys are hungry, you hurry up. ”
Under the urging of the company commander Zhao Yifa, Sun Lei was still a little hesitant, he couldn't hold an accurate idea, and he still had some concerns in his heart, after all, he still understood that there was a problem in the distribution of materials.
In order to further dispel Sun Lei's concerns, instructor Wang Wenju continued to comfort him: "Comrade Sun Lei, why are you indecisive like a girl, what Company Commander Zhao said just now is already very clear, and we big guys will not complain about you."
"Isn't there an old saying, it's called helping people to the end, sending Buddha to the west. With so many supplies in front of us, why are you holding back? Furthermore, Mencius said, 'Do not suffer from few, but suffer from inequality'. Isn't it all evenly distributed now, what do you kid have to worry about? ”
It wasn't until after listening to the instructor Wang Wenju's words of relief that Sun Lei felt very reasonable, and in this regard, he dispelled all the doubts in his mind, and then took over the work of distributing materials.
So, Sun Lei spent almost an hour distributing a day's rations to everyone in the three companies of the sharp knife, including compressed biscuits, bread and canned beef.
In addition, a cashmere blanket and scarf, as well as a pair of cotton socks, were also distributed to everyone, so that the soldiers of the three companies of sharp knives could keep warm in this cold bomb shelter.
After distributing the materials to everyone, Sun Lei felt that it was the middle of the night, and everyone in the three companies of the sharp knife company had not eaten a hot meal for two days, so he proposed to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju that the cooking class take dehydrated vegetables and flour, as well as seasoning packets, and make a vegetable soup to let the big guys ease down.
For Sun Lei's proposal, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju agreed in principle, but Ah Yo first solved the most critical problem, that is, how not to smoke in the case of a fire.
After all, they were now within a radius of one or twenty kilometers, and they could no longer find anything like charcoal, at most there was a large pine forest more than two hundred meters south of the trenches and bomb shelters where they were.
When company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju proposed to solve the thorny problem of not being able to smoke when lighting a fire, Sun Lei felt that it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night after some careful consideration.
At this point in time, it is estimated that the United Nations forces dominated by the US military have already slept in their barracks, and it is unlikely that there will be planes cruising in the dark night, even if there is some smoke coming out.
At the same time, Sun Lei felt that if he found some dry pine branches to light a fire, the smoke coming out was still very small, and this method should be feasible.
After thinking of this, Sun Lei reported his idea to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and after some consultation, the two of them felt that Sun Lei's idea still had some truth, so they might as well give it a try.
After getting the permission of the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, Sun Lei told the cooking class about this method of using dry pine branches to make a fire.
Previously, the cooking squad had nothing to do except dig trenches and bomb shelters with the other three combat platoons, and now they could finally return to their old jobs, which naturally made the soldiers of the cooking squad happy one by one.
It should be added that after Sun Lei distributed a day's amount of supplies to all the volunteer soldiers of the Third Company of the Sharp Knife Company, the US military transport plane that returned from Xiajieyu made a harmless passage over their heads, and soon flew away without a trace in the direction of the south.
