"This village doesn't look like it has been bombed by U.S. planes or ground sweeps by U.S.-South Korean coalition forces. It's really strange, now it's a problem to find a North Korean villager in the village to ask for directions, what can I do! ”

After listening to Sun Lei's report, company commander Zhao Yifa immediately frowned, put on a sad face, and muttered to himself.

Since instructor Wang Wenju was only one step away from him, he naturally heard the company commander Zhao Yifa's self-talk that was not very loud just now, and he heard it clearly, and his face also became solemn.

The reason why company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju wanted to find a Korean villager in this village to ask for directions was because the map they were holding in their hands had been drawn more than 20 years ago, and there were many landmarks and place names that were different from what they are now.

They had no bottom in their hearts, for fear that they would make a mistake in the method of distance from the marching destination after they had rushed all night, and then they would not be able to complete the interception and blocking mission interspersed behind enemy lines on time.

After sighing very helplessly, the two of them felt that in addition to this, there was another important thing to do at the moment, which was to let the soldiers who had traveled all night first settle down in the village, and then take a break for the whole hour, and wait for the other companies that were left behind.

As he spoke, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and the eastern sky was also white, and the pale red morning glow could be faintly seen, indicating that it should be another sunny day today, which should be a good news for them who need to continue to hurry.

At this moment, for the soldiers of the three companies of sharp knives, in addition to their bodies feeling very tired, their stomachs are also growling with hunger, which can be said to make them tired and hungry all the way.

Seeing the soldiers sitting around him, all of them gasping for breath while covering their hungry stomachs, the company commander Zhao Yifa was really a little unbearable.

He learned from a few scouts who had sent them back that there were no traces of the activities of the ground troops of the US-ROK coalition within a radius of 10 miles from the village, and that they could have a good rest here.

Considering that there was still a long way to go, instructor Wang Wenju and company commander Zhao Yifa discussed it, and then called the squad leader of the cooking squad to him, and asked them to take out the remaining half a catty of white noodles and find some dry firewood from the village to make a fire for cooking.

No matter what, it is impossible to let the soldiers continue to march hungry, this is the first thing that the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju should consider at present, only by letting the soldiers fill their stomachs, can they have the strength and spirit to continue to hurry, otherwise, the tired and hungry soldiers will definitely not be able to bear it.

In less than five minutes, the soldiers of the cooking squad picked up a large pile of dry firewood from the village, and propped up the cauldron with a few sturdy tree trunks, where they had rested three times with sharp knives.

The pot rack has been set up, and now the only thing missing is to find water quickly, in the cold and snowy environment, if you want to bury the pot to cook, put the clean snow into the big iron pot and light the fire to boil into water.

But now, the remnants of snow on the ground are difficult to see, and water must be found, if there is no water, it will be really difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Even the most stupid people know that there must be a well in this village, otherwise, how could the people of this village survive until now, not to mention, there is not even a river within a radius of ten miles.

Instructor Wang Wenju handed over the task of going to the village to find water to Sun Lei, and in order not to delay the march, he gave him a death order, telling him to get water within ten minutes.

Sun Lei didn't say a word, he took two soldiers of the assault squad, trotted all the way into the village again, last time, he went door to door to find North Korean villagers, and this time, he went to the village to find water.

In Sun Lei's opinion at this time, in this kind of small village with only a few dozen households at the foot of the mountain, there must be one or several wells shared by the people of the whole village, and the wells are generally located in the center of the village.

Following this line of thought, it took less than two minutes for Sun Lei and the two soldiers to find a well next to the intersection of the two main roads in the north and south of the village.

The next problem was that at this crossroads, in the central part of the village, there were wells on the left and right sides, and they only had one water fetch utensil, which put them in a choice.

It is said that it is a tool for drawing water, but in fact it is just a steel helmet worn on the head, which was taken off the head of a US lieutenant killed by them during a battle by a soldier of their assault squad, and left it on his body as a memorial.

In addition to the steel helmet, they also brought a rope that was originally used to tie the marching knapsack, and then tied the two ends of the rope to the mouths on the left and right sides of the steel helmet, and they planned to use this way to draw water.

When Sun Lei conducted a brief field survey of the two wells on the left and right sides of the intersection, he found that the well on the left side was surrounded by less than a layer of moss, but left some messy footprints.

In addition, there was not even a lifting frame for drawing water, so he determined that the well on the left side was a dry well nine times out of ten.

On the other hand, there is no trace of moss around the well, there are many footprints scattered around the well, and there is a lifting frame where the rope has been dismantled.

Therefore, Sun Lei secretly determined that there should be water in the well on the right, and after making this judgment, he quickly ordered the two soldiers next to him to walk with him to the well on the right.

The two soldiers who came with him felt that their squad leader Sun Lei was very evil, and they didn't even tell them the reason, so they concluded that the level on the left side was a dry well, and they didn't believe it in their hearts.

So the two warriors each picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, and one of the warriors ran to the well on the right and threw down the stone he was holding.

When the warrior standing in front of the well on the right side threw down the fist-sized stone in his hand, he immediately heard a "grunt" sound from under the well, and needless to say, there must be water under the well.

Almost at the same time, the warrior standing in front of the well on the left, when he threw the small stone in his hand, let out a "clang" sound, as if he had hit something hard.

"Ah......h

Immediately afterward, a man's wailing screams rang out from under the well on the left.
