Chapter 39 Improving Food

"Sun Lei, what are you doing with a monkey cub, I asked you platoon leader Liu to lead all the people in your entire platoon to go down to the high ground guarded by our town, and go to the large area in the north where there are large and small hills to clean up the battlefield.

"The other soldiers in your platoon are still busy cleaning up the battlefield, why did you run over alone, and brought these dozen wooden boxes in one go, what do you kid think, recruit me and the instructor from the truth. Otherwise, I will never spare you. ”

Zhao Yifa, the commander of the third company of the Volunteer Army, saw Sun Lei hurriedly put a dozen wooden boxes in his arms in front of him and the instructor Wang Wenju, he was stunned at first, and then pointed to Sun Lei's nose and questioned in a stern tone.

Looking at the dozen or so well-packed wooden boxes that Sun Lei put in front of them, not only did the company commander Zhao Yifa look dazed, but at the same time, it also made the instructor Wang Wenju who was standing aside feel very curious.

So, instructor Wang Wenju also followed the words of company commander Zhao Yifa and continued to echo: "Yes, what Company Commander Zhao said is very right. Sun Lei, you kid must explain clearly to me and Company Commander Zhao in person, why didn't you continue to clean up the battlefield with the other soldiers in your row, but instead ran in front of me and Company Commander Zhao with these dozen wooden boxes. ”

Seeing the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju and the two of them singing and questioning him in harmony, Sun Lei had no intention of hiding the truth from them, and felt that these two old comrades were really worried, because even if they didn't ask, he was ready to take the initiative to explain the matter.

However, in Sun Lei's opinion at this time, it is okay, since it was the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju who forced the two of them to ask themselves, so as not to take the initiative to confess will be considered by others as having ulterior motives to invite meritorious deeds, he Sun Lei is not a person who loves vanity, at least in his own opinion.

Since it was on the high ground on the south side, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju were with the other soldiers who stayed on the position, and he did not want to make a big deal of the discovery of the rations of the US and ROK troops at this time.

So, after Sun Lei thought about it, he hooked his fingers at the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju who were standing in front of him, signaled the two of them to stick out their ears, and then whispered to the two of them with his mouth.

Company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, who were in an extremely anxious mood, couldn't take care of it so much, and immediately put one of their ears in front of Sun Lei's mouth, and made a gesture of listening to it.

Since the company commander and instructor cooperated with him so much, Sun Lei did not continue to sell Guanzi, and whispered everything he knew and understood to the two of them, without hiding anything.

After listening to Sun Lei's truthful report, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju didn't care about how Sun Lei's recruits who had just been conscripted for more than two months knew more than the two of them.

But as soon as Sun Lei's words fell, the two of them rushed forward with an arrow, and without saying a word, they simply opened a wooden box containing the US Army C rations and the ROK rations of the South Korean Army.

Sure enough, as Sun Lei said just now, company commander Zhao Yifa opened a wooden box with the English word "C-ration" written on the outer packaging, that is, it contained the US military's C rations.

After squatting down, he looked down twice, and then pulled his hand inside the wooden box, and found that it contained biscuits, luncheon meat, beans, dehydrated vegetables, fruit hard candy, coffee powder, juice, chewing gum, and cigarettes, matches, sewing kits, and razor blades!

In addition, instructor Wang Wenju opened the outer packaging of the wooden box, which said "Repudlic of Korea" in English, that is, ROK rations distributed to South Korean troops who were scorned by the U.S. military and other United Nations forces.

After opening the wooden box, instructor Wang Wenju saw that it contained 1.75 pounds of rice, 0.6 pounds of canned sardines, 1/3 packet of biscuits, salt and chili, and a 500 won bill in a waterproof bag.

When the two wooden boxes were opened, the soldiers of the three companies next to them naturally saw it, anyway, the order issued by the company commander Zhao Yifa just now was to let them rest in place while standing by.

When they saw that the two wooden boxes opened by the company commander and the instructor contained so many good things, although they couldn't read the English signs on the outside of the packages, they could clearly see that they must be good things to eat.

Suddenly, these soldiers who had eaten fried noodles and snow for a day, some of their frozen purple lips were dry and cracked, but it did not prevent the corners of their mouths from flowing hot saliva, and their eyes with a strong desire to survive also showed a look of longing.

This made Zhao Yifa, the company commander, and Wang Wenju, the instructor, feel unbearable, and they immediately distributed the edible food in the two wooden boxes to the soldiers who stayed on the battlefield.

Of course, I also left two wooden boxes that had not yet been opened, and when the soldiers of the three companies and one platoon who had been platoon to clean the battlefield returned, they distributed the food inside to them.

In view of the fact that Sun Lei found fourteen wooden boxes of food left by the American and South Korean soldiers, the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju summed it up and wanted to reward Sun Lei for his meritorious deeds, reward him for picking an unopened wooden box at random, and give him all the food inside.

Sun Lei, who had already made several combat exploits in front of him, felt that this time the reward was the most affordable, much better than the praise and award of the certificate of commendation in the whole company, and he did not shirk at all, and without thinking, he picked a wooden box with the English words "C-ration" written on the outer packaging, and kept all the food contained in the US army's C rations as his own.

Although this time they captured 14 rations in wooden boxes discarded by the Korean and American troops who were desperate to flee for their lives, and took the opportunity to greatly improve the food.

However, when they thought that the soldiers in the other battalions and companies in the regiment were also living a hard life of fried noodles and snow, the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju decided to hand over the remaining wooden boxes to the regiment.

It was then sent down by the regiment, and the volunteer soldiers of the whole regiment also took this opportunity to improve their food together.

Later, at Sun Leide's suggestion, a wooden box of US Army C rations was left, and the other wooden boxes containing ROK rations of the South Korean Army were handed over to the regiment headquarters.

As for the weapons, equipment, guns, and ammunition captured this time, half of them were handed over to the regimental headquarters, leaving half for their own use.

Sun Lei, who had excellent marksmanship, was assigned a sniper rifle with a scope and 500 rounds of ammunition for the gun, becoming a veritable sharpshooter in their third company.
