Chapter 140: Two Potatoes

After finding the director of the field hospital, Sun Lei immediately expressed his request to be discharged from the hospital immediately and return to the front-line combat troops, his attitude was very resolute, and he did not hesitate in the process of speaking.

The director of the field hospital saw that Sun Lei, a combat hero, had such a resolute attitude, so he had no choice but to ask the chief for instructions in the form of a telegram.

Soon, the front-line chief of the volunteer army sent a telegram back an hour later, saying that now is the time to employ people, since Sun Lei, as a combat hero, has recovered from his illness, and his desire to fight is indeed very strong, let him return to the front-line troops advancing south.

However, there is another half of the content of this telegram from the former head of the army, that is, let Sun Lei lead the team and bring other volunteer soldiers who were recovering from injuries in the field hospital to the front line to support.

After receiving the instructions of the head of the front-line units of the Volunteer Army in the form of a telegram, the director of the field hospital naturally had to immediately carry out the instructions.

Therefore, the director of the field hospital hurriedly summoned together the 55 volunteer soldiers who had recovered from their illnesses and had not yet been discharged from the hospital, announced the instructions of the head of the front-line troops, appointed Sun Lei as the temporary platoon commander to lead the team, and the other 55 volunteer soldiers who had recovered from their wounds must all obey his command and orders.

In order to facilitate the march on the road, Sun Lei decided to set off this evening and march south by way of night to find the front-line troops of the Volunteer Army who had received and paid Pyeongchang, the capital of North Korea.

It was already past noon, that is to say, for the 56 volunteer soldiers, including Sun Lei, they did not have much time left in the field hospital, and there was only one afternoon left.

Before the team disbanded, Sun Lei asked them to assemble at the south gate of the field hospital at 6 o'clock this evening, and set off on time at 6:15, and let everyone go back to prepare their belongings in the afternoon.

After the instructions were finished, the team was disbanded, and after Sun Lei had lunch, he got into the tent where he was, and began to pack some of the items he had brought with him, as well as a sniper rifle specially approved for him by the director of the field hospital.

Since the first battle of Songgufeng was published in the newspapers of the army, especially the people in the field hospital in the rear, it can be said that they all know Sun Lei, a combat hero, and his heroic deeds have naturally been reported throughout the field hospital.

Moreover, the newspaper wrote that Sun Lei was a sharpshooter, almost to the extent that he could hit every shot, and the director of the field hospital felt that Sun Lei was going to the front line, how could he do it without a good gun, so he specially gave him a Soviet-style sniper rifle.

Of course, the other fifty-five soldiers were also issued with guns and ammunition, but they only used ordinary rifles, and there was no way to compare them with the sniper rifle assigned by Sun Lei.

For Sun Lei, this Soviet-style sniper rifle can be described as hard-won, no, as soon as he packed his belongings, he began to wipe the Soviet-style sniper rifle in his hand.

Speaking of the items that Sun Lei carried with him, when he came, Zhang Dake carried him out of the pile of dead people, and he didn't bring anything with him, so there were very few belongings that he naturally needed to take away.

Except for the thick military uniform he was wearing, there was only one futon left, and the rest were the guns and ammunition that had just been allocated to him.

As soon as he wiped the Soviet-style sniper rifle for less than half an hour, Sun Lei heard a person walking towards the tent he was in with a very light step.

After stopping what he was doing, Sun Lei raised his head and looked at the door of the tent, but found that the person who walked in was his attending doctor Zhou Haihui, and he was also the sister of his comrade-in-arms Zhou Haitao, who had fought side by side with him and died.

"Zhou ...... Dr. Chow, you ...... What are you doing here? I'm cured, and I don't need you, the doctor, to take medicine and injections for me. After Sun Lei saw Zhou Haihui, he thought that she was here to give himself medicine and injections, which immediately aroused his conditioned reflex vigilance, and he was a little weak-minded.

Facing Sun Lei's question, Zhou Haihui, who walked in, just smiled slightly, and then said: "Not only do I know that you have recovered from your illness, but I also know that you will leave the field hospital at six o'clock tonight and rush to the front line." Why, can't I, the doctor, come and see you if I don't give you medicine and injections? ”

After hearing that Zhou Haihui was not here to give him medicine and injections, Sun Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So that's the case, Doctor Zhou, you can come and see me, anyway, at most, let you watch it for another afternoon, and you won't be able to see it." ”

Originally, Zhou Haihui came to see Sun Lei off, but when she heard Sun say that there was only one afternoon, she suddenly felt sad, and she felt that she really didn't know when she would be able to see each other when she said goodbye this time.

As a war doctor, she naturally doesn't want the next time she sees Sun Lei, Sun Lei is seriously injured again, which will make her even more frightened, she hopes that Sun Lei can be safe and healthy, and then kill more American devils and South Korean puppet soldiers on the battlefield, so as to avenge her brother Zhou Haitao who died in battle.

Zhou Haihui, whose eyes were filled with tears, stood in front of Sun Lei, took out two fist-sized potatoes from the pocket of his military coat, and stuffed them into Sun Lei's hands.

"Take these two potatoes with you, you have to rush into the night at night, if you are hungry, you can use them to satisfy your hunger. I have other wounded to take care of, I'll go first, I wish you all the best. Zhou Haihui immediately turned around, and after saying this goodbye, she walked out of the tent without looking back.

Just a few steps out of the tent, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Zhou Haihui's eyes, she didn't make any crying, after she returned to the tent where she lived during the day, she silently cried for a whole afternoon.

After taking the two potatoes from Zhou Haihui's hand, Sun Lei was about to say thank you, but found that Zhou Haihui turned around and left, and he didn't chase them out, not knowing how to face the young and beautiful woman who liked each other next.

Mainly because Sun Lei felt that he was going to the front line to participate in the battle this time, and whether he could come back alive or not was still unknown, even for him, who had crossed over, so he naturally did not dare to make any promises and oaths to Zhou Haihui easily.

What's more, since they entered the Korean Peninsula to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteer units have been disciplined, and they are not allowed to engage in male-female relations or talk about boyfriends and girlfriends with local women or female soldiers accompanying the army, including female military doctors and nurses.

Holding the two hot potatoes in his hands, Sun Lei felt a little like laughing, because it is a cold winter, not to mention that the temperature is more than ten degrees below zero during the day, if it is at night, the temperature will plummet to more than thirty degrees below zero.

In such a low temperature, these two hot potatoes, which have been stored for no more than two hours, are estimated to be frozen into two ice eggs, and there is definitely no way to eat them when marching at night.

After thinking of this, with tears full of gratitude and inseparable tears, Sun Lei sat in his own tent and ate the two potatoes that Zhou Haihui gave him one bite at a time.
