At about 11 o'clock that night, all 75 officers and men of the Third Company of the Chinese People's Volunteers rushed to the ambush site five kilometers south of Wenjing an hour earlier than scheduled.

"Damn, this terrain is high in the south and low in the north, with mountains in the south and flat land in the north, and it is really very suitable for blocking the enemy retreating from the north to the south like Wenjing. Moreover, the place where we are located is a mountain range, which can be used as a natural fortification, so we can just wait here for work. ”

Zhao Yifa, the commander of the Third Company, who was standing on the mountain ridge on the south side, took advantage of the bright moonlight, picked up the worn-out telescope, and after checking the surrounding terrain, he stretched his brows, and said to Wang Wenju, the instructor of the Third Company, who was standing aside, in a somewhat happy tone.

Taking over the worn-out telescope from Zhao Yifa's hand, Wang Wenju also tried to check the surrounding terrain, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as Zhao Yifa said, the south mountain range where they were located was more than 50 meters higher than the open flat land in the north, and it was indeed a treasure of feng shui for ambushes.

After returning the worn-out telescope to Zhao Yifa, Wang Wenju also said with a smile: "Old Zhao, don't say it, the place where we are located is really suitable for ambushes."

"We don't have to do anything, when the battle over Wenjing starts, let's wait here for the enemy who escaped from the direction of Wenjing, and catch them off guard, whether he is the South Korean army, the US army, or the United Nations army, our three companies are used as sharp knife companies, and they will fight as many as they come."

After saying this, Wang Wenju, the instructor of the third company with a smile on his face, suddenly remembered something, approached Zhao Yifa, who was standing aside, and lowered his voice, reminded: "However, Lao Zhao, we received the interspersed combat mission from the regiment this time, but not only to block the enemy who retreated south from the direction of Wenjing in the north. Another task is to cooperate with other companies to block reinforcements that may arrive from Yunshan. ”

As soon as Wang Wenju's words fell, Zhao Yifa, who was still happy just now, immediately frowned, breathed a long sigh of relief, bit his frozen purple lips, and said: "Lao Wang, what you reminded me is that I patronized one task just now, but I forgot about another task."

"There are only seventy-five people left in our company now, if there is an enemy retreating south from Wenjing in the north, and a large number of reinforcements come from the direction of Yunshan, although our company occupies the commanding heights nearby, it will inevitably cause the enemy to suffer from the belly and back. It seems that we are going to have a bad battle this day. ”

Hearing Zhao Yifa finish speaking, Wang Wenju said with high morale: "Our third company is a sharp knife company in the regiment, whether it is during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, it has always been famous for fighting evil battles.

"Now, when we enter the DPRK to fight, whether we encounter Koreans or Americans, our third company will beat them up so that they can see how powerful our Chinese soldiers are."

However, when he said this, Wang Wenju changed his words and said in a consultative tone to Zhao Yifa, who was standing on the side with a solemn face: "Old Zhao, there is still half an hour before the regiment gives us the time to intersperse combat missions.

"We only rested for twenty minutes on the way, and I found that many of our soldiers were tired, hungry and sleepy. It is better to let the soldiers rest in place for forty minutes, and wait until eleven fifty-five in the evening, and then we will gather our troops and prepare for an ambush here. ”

Regarding the proposal of instructor Wang Wenju, the company commander Zhao Yifa nodded and said: "As an instructor, your old Wang is more thoughtful, I think that many soldiers in our company are indeed tired, especially those recruits, it is good to let the comrades have a good rest, so let's do it." ”

Therefore, instructor Wang Wenju called the heralds not far away to him, and gave the order to rest in place for 40 minutes to each platoon commander, and then the platoon commander conveyed this order to each squad.

In less than a minute, all the officers and men of the third company received an order to rest on the spot for 40 minutes, and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies and squatted on the untied marching backpacks to rest on the spot, and many of them fell asleep as soon as they sat down.

However, among the soldiers of the third company, Sun Lei, who was a recruit, couldn't sleep even if he was worried, and he didn't feel sleepy.

"Hey, the other fighters in our squad have all slept, you monkey don't sleep and take a good rest, staring at the two big eyes, what are you thinking about?" Deng Sanshui, a veteran of the third company and a platoon, was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, when he caught a glimpse of Deng Sanshui, who was sitting less than five meters away, he opened his eyes, and the whole person looked thoughtful, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice with a bit of curiosity.

After glancing at Deng Sanshui, who came to her, Sun Lei said in a half-joking tone and whispered: "Old Deng, you said that on such a cold day, the temperature is estimated to be at least below minus 20 degrees.

After hearing this, Deng Sanshui immediately felt unhappy, he immediately raised his voice a little, and criticized Sun Lei: "Don't talk nonsense, you kid, what's wrong with the cold weather, before, when I fought in the northeast, the temperature was even colder than now, and I still slept in the snow, there was no problem at all, I didn't live well until now."

"Besides, the company commander and the instructor only let us sleep for forty minutes, and in such a short time, I don't believe that we can still kill people. You kid crow's mouth, you love to sleep or not. You don't sleep, I'll go to sleep, I'm too lazy to take care of you. ”

Sure enough, Deng Sanshui, who sat back on his marching backpack, crossed Erlang's legs, just sat dryly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in less than two minutes, and snored a few times from time to time.

glanced at the soldiers of the same class around him, and they all sat on their marching backpacks one by one and fell asleep, and they didn't know why, but suddenly Sun Lei had an ominous premonition.

At this time, in his opinion, the soldiers are not well fed and clothed, and they sleep in an environment where the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero, and I am afraid that some people with low resistance and immunity may really fall asleep and never wake up again.
