Chapter XXXVII

"Comrade Deng, there are thousands of South Korean soldiers on the other side, which is more than ten times the strength of our third company.

"In my opinion, no matter what the reason is, and no matter what the purpose, the thousands of South Korean soldiers on the opposite side withdraw from the battlefield and do not retreat from the high ground on the south side guarded by our third company, even if our third company successfully completes the combat mission of intercepting the South Korean troops retreating south from the direction of Wenjing in the north."

Sun Lei, who was lying on the snow, still didn't believe what Deng Sanshui said next to him, and only after he witnessed the Korean soldiers on the opposite side retreating one after another, he believed it, turned his head, and said to Deng Sanshui with a blank face.

Regarding the reason for the retreat of the South Korean army with a force of 1,000 troops on the opposite side, Sun Lei naturally knew that it was nothing more than that more than a dozen officers above the rank of lieutenant had been killed, and they were either killed or wounded, so naturally they could not continue to command the soldiers under their command normally.

And the other South Korean soldiers learned that their commander was killed, killed, and wounded, and they fought desperately with their backs to the water, and they immediately changed from a great morale boost just now to a sluggish morale at this time.

Of course, Sun Lei did not know anything about the fact that Major Lee Doo-hyun, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the ROK Army, who had the command of the ROK Army in wartime, was wounded in the arm, and that Captain Thomson, the captain of the US company, was shot in the chest and fell unconscious.

After listening to Sun Lei's remarks, Deng Sanshui felt that what he said also made some sense, no matter what his reason was, the most important thing was that the thousands of South Korean soldiers on the opposite side had withdrawn, and their three companies completed the combat mission objectives assigned by the regiment headquarters at a very small cost of casualties.

After seeing that the more than 1,000 Korean soldiers on the opposite side had retreated, not only Sun Lei Sanshui and them were a little puzzled by this, but also Zhao Yifa, the commander of the third company, and Wang Wenju, the instructor, were also unexpected.

"Hey, it's really strange, these Korean devils just launched a fierce attack on the position of our third company, it's only been about half an hour, and they haven't caused major casualties, why did they suddenly say that they retreated, I really don't understand what kind of reputation these Korean devils are doing."

After discovering that the thousands of Korean soldiers on the opposite side had retreated, Wang Wenju, the instructor of the third company of the Volunteer Army, saw that he was confused, and muttered to himself.

Hearing his old partner say this, Zhao Yifa took his worn-out telescope and looked at the opposite side carefully and carefully, wanting to find out.

After holding the binoculars and looking at them for a minute, Zhao Yifa really saw the more than 1,000 South Korean soldiers on the opposite side, and they were really retreating back non-stop as his old partner instructor Wang Wenju said.

When Zhao Yifa put down the telescope in his hand, he was greatly relieved, because if the more than 1,000 Korean soldiers on the opposite side continued to attack the high ground on the south side where the third company of the volunteers was located for two hours, they would only have two platoons of more than 60 people left in the third company of the volunteers, and they would definitely not be able to hold the high ground on the south side.

The most serious consequence is that the three companies of the Volunteer Army will not only lose the high ground on the south side, but also very likely to cause their three companies to be outnumbered, and then they will all be annihilated here, and at that time, they will definitely be wiped out.

As soon as he finished breathing that breath of relief, Zhao Yifa, the commander of the third company of the Volunteer Army, was afraid that this was a conspiracy of the South Korean troops on the opposite side, and used the strategy of luring the enemy to go deeper, lured them down the high ground on the south side to chase them, and then attacked them again.

In the war, although Zhao Yifa fought bravely, but he was also a bold and careful person, for the sake of prudence, he picked up the worn-out telescope to observe the opposite side for half an hour, but did not find any situation is still empty, not even a shadow of a person.

At this point, Zhao Yifa secretly determined that the more than 1,000 Korean soldiers just now should have retreated a long time ago, and it is estimated that they will not return, and they can rest easy by holding the high ground on the south side for three companies.

However, Zhao Yifa discovered a new situation through the telescope, that is, more than 200 meters north of the high ground on the south side of their town, on the thick snow trampled by messy footsteps, the corpses of more than 100 dead South Korean soldiers were scattered, all of them were shot in the head or abdomen.

In addition, what made his eyes shine was that among the corpses of the more than 100 dead South Korean soldiers, there were still a lot of weapons and equipment scattered, including seventy or eighty percent of new American-style rifles, several light and heavy machine guns, and more than a dozen boxes of bullets.

In addition, there are several wooden boxes with English written on them, and what exactly is inside is certainly impossible to know by telescopes alone. As the company commander Zhao Yifa, he knows better than anyone that there are two things that their third company lacks most now, that is, weapons and food.

At this moment, the guns and ammunition in front of him that are enough to arm a company's strength, of course, Zhao Yifa can't sit idly by, once it is discovered by other companies that are cooperating with him, it is estimated that in order to snatch this batch of weapons and equipment that is so sophisticated in his eyes, it is indispensable to go to the regiment headquarters.

What's more, now that these sophisticated weapons and equipment are within the actual control of their third company, Zhao Yifa naturally will not miss this great opportunity to replenish weapons and equipment.

So, Zhao Yifa hurriedly called Liu Sanshun, the leader of the platoon, to him, and asked Liu Sanshun to take all the soldiers in their platoon to go north from the high ground they were guarding, rush to a place more than 200 meters away, and bring back all the weapons and equipment scattered everywhere.

Of course, the wooden boxes sealed with English characters they couldn't read on them were also brought up, and he wanted to see what was in them, so that he could see what was inside.

After receiving the order, Liu Sanshun, the leader of the first platoon of the third company, without saying a word, rushed down the high ground on the south side with all the soldiers in his platoon, and rushed towards the place more than 200 meters away from the north, and ran deep and shallow on the thick snow.

After arriving at the place quickly, the other soldiers were ecstatic to pick up the scattered weapons and equipment on the snow, but Sun Lei was the only one who stood in front of a wooden box sealed with a lot of English words written on it, and did not move his steps again, and his eyes showed a strange light.
