When Sun Lei returned to the three air-raid shelters on the north side of the trench passage where their platoon was located, he squatted on the ground and thought for about a minute, and then made a decision, that is, he took the three squad leaders of the platoon to carry out the task of guarding the hillside where they were.

This is mainly due to his opinion, the soldiers in their platoon have long been exhausted after three and a half hours of digging trenches and five hours of digging bomb shelters.

Not to mention letting them walk upright, even if they are allowed to crawl on the ground, it is estimated that they will not be able to climb 50 meters away and will be tired and lying on the ground.

In the process of digging trenches and air-raid shelters, as a platoon leader, he and the three squad leaders of their platoon still did less work than ordinary soldiers, and they were responsible for some personnel scheduling and management.

After considering this actual situation, Sun Lei thought that he could only call the three squad leaders of their platoon and carry out the task of guarding the entire hillside issued by the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, anyway, it was only two hours.

When the time came, they would be replaced by Liu Yiming, the platoon commander of the second platoon, and the other three soldiers of the second platoon, as long as they could spend two hours in peace, then they could return to their first platoon to rest in the dugout.

So, Sun Lei called out the three squad leaders of a platoon from the three air-raid shelters one by one, and conveyed the vigilance tasks assigned by the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and explained the specific reasons for letting the three of them carry out this task with him.

The three squad leaders in the first platoon, at the beginning, still had some resistance in their hearts, but after Sun Lei explained the reason reasonably, they had nothing to say, and at the same time, the three platoon leaders also thought that it was their duty.

Therefore, Sun Lei took the three platoon commanders of a platoon to guard in the 150-meter-long trench, which was divided into four directions, east, west, south and north, and each person was specially equipped with a telescope that had previously captured the United States and South Korea.

Of course, in addition to this, they also carried their own guns and ammunition, and once they found an emergency, they needed to fire a warning gun and do their best to deal with this emergency situation that could happen at any time.

However, in the east, west, and north directions, Sun Lei arranged the three squad leaders under him to be responsible for the vigilance, and in the southern direction, he was responsible for the vigilance alone.

The reason for this is that Sun Lei believes that in these three directions, as long as they are not exposed, they will not attract the attention of the enemy, and he chose to be responsible for the southern direction for vigilance, in order to find out whether there will be US planes crossing the sky from the south during the day.

Moreover, it was a transport plane carrying food, not a fighter or bomber with a large number of bombs and machine guns.

Although five kilometers away in the direction of the north is a military fortress of the United States and South Korea that is stationed in Xiajiayu-ri, as long as they are not attacked, I believe that the US-South Korean allied forces within Xiajieyu will not be idle and do nothing.

After the four of them were in their respective positions, the sky suddenly brightened, and Sun Lei, who was lying in the middle of the trench and was responsible for observing and guarding the southern direction, looked down at the watch on his left wrist at this time.

The time shown above is already half past seven in the morning, if it is in China, this time point is estimated to be the time for thousands of families to have breakfast, but they who went to fight on the Korean Peninsula have to stick to this hillside hungry in this harsh environment where the cold wind is howling and the ice and snow are blowing.

Sun Lei, who had just finished reading the time on his watch, raised his head, held the telescope in his hand, and observed the white snow in the south for less than two minutes, and his stomach began to growl.

At the beginning, Sun Lei was still holding back, but this time it was different from the past, his stomach rumbled for five minutes, and he didn't mean to stop there.

From last night to now, except for a few handfuls of clean snow in the middle, he hasn't even eaten a bite of the fried noodles that he carried on him, so it can be said that he has been hungry.

Because at that time, it was he who came up with this bad idea of quenching the thirst of Mei and painting cakes to satisfy hunger, so he encouraged the volunteer soldiers of the three companies of the sharp knife company to eat almost all the fried noodles they carried on their bodies, so that they had the strength to dig out a trench and ten air-raid shelters next to each other overnight.

It is not so much that they dug air-raid shelters, but rather that they dug cellars, and each air-raid shelter was only enough to accommodate a dozen people, in order to disperse the troops, so that one air-raid shelter would not be bombed by the enemy, and after the collapse, all of them would be buried in a simple air-raid shelter.

So, Sun Lei thought about keeping the only fried noodles he had left that could be enough for two meals, he didn't even eat a bite, and now he is really hungry, which makes him feel a feeling that he has never collapsed.

It was in this situation that Sun Lei still clenched his tooth crown and survived for half an hour, and then, in desperation, he took out a small handful of dry fried noodles from the ration bag on his body, put a large handful of clean white snow, put it in his mouth and chewed it for about ten seconds, and finally swallowed it into his stomach.

After eating this small handful of fried noodles, Sun Lei found that his stomach was no longer gurgling, so he quickly tied the open ration bag with a thin hemp rope and sealed it.

Suddenly, he looked down and saw that on the frozen soil in front of him, there was a very thin layer of fried noodles, and it was only the size of a fingernail, which could be said to be very pitiful.

If it was placed in the past, Sun Lei, who didn't know what extravagance and waste was, would have turned a blind eye to it, but at this time, it is not as good as before, and being able to have a mouthful of food, even if it is fried noodles that taste like chewing wax, is also quite precious.

Looking down for less than five seconds, Sun Lei immediately used his hand to pull on the small piece of frozen soil in front of him for a full five minutes, until he couldn't see even a single grain of fried noodles on that small piece of frozen soil.

In his hand was a handful of fried noodles and a mixture of earth, and Sun Lei stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word, and casually took a handful of clean snow from the side and put it in his mouth.

In this way, Sun Lei chewed for a full minute, and then swallowed the unpalatable handful of fried noodles and the mixture of soil into his stomach.

Strange to say, Sun Lei swallowed it for less than five seconds, he immediately burped, and continued to hold the telescope in his hand to observe and guard in the direction south of the trench.
