Chapter 107: Divide the potatoes and eat

"Sun Lei, what are you doing, let you take two soldiers to the village to find some water, why did you ink for most of the time before you came back. Do you know that twenty minutes have passed since you left this place where we had three consecutive days of resting and now when you are back.

"You know, we've only had an hour's time here to recuperate, and you've been delayed for twenty minutes on your own. If you don't come back, I'll really ask someone to go to the village to look for you, and you kid will have to be arrested. ”

Zhao Yifa, the company commander with his hands on his back, paced back and forth with his head down, and after hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he turned around to take a closer look, and found that the person who was walking towards them was Sun Lei, although he was more than 30 meters away, he was angry, and pointed at Sun Lei, who was walking towards him quickly, and blamed him angrily.

Facing the merciless accusation of the company commander Zhao Yifa, who was standing more than 30 meters away, Sun Lei did not say anything, first flashed to the side with a smile, and pointed to the five captured South Korean soldiers who followed him.

The soldiers of the three companies of sharp knives who were sitting on the ground had just rested on the spot for more than half an hour, and many of them had not yet mixed up.

But even so, when they found the five South Korean soldiers who followed Sun Lei, they immediately became energetic and stood up from the ground one after another.

After only two seconds, a "click" sound was heard, which was made by the soldiers pulling the bolts of their guns one after another.

After seeing this situation, Wang Wenju, the instructor who stood up from the ground, hurriedly made a gesture of pressing down at the soldiers standing around, and comforted him in a calm tone: "Comrades, don't be too nervous, the five South Korean soldiers who followed Sun Lei were captured, and they are a threat to us."

"You all hurry up and put away your guns, in case the shots go off and it won't be good to attract nearby enemies, sit down and continue to rest."

I have to say that the soldiers who got up from the ground were really a natural reaction of conditioned reflex, and as soon as they saw the South Korean soldiers, they immediately put their guns in their hands, pulled the bolts, and made preparations for battle at any time.

After they heard what the instructor Wang Wenju said, they put away the robbery and sat back on the ground to rest.

It was only at this time that they discovered that the five South Korean soldiers who had been pointed at the muzzles in their hands just now were walking towards them under the leadership of Sun Lei at this moment, but none of them were carrying guns.

Not only that, but the soldiers of the three companies of the sharp knife company were also surprised to find that among the five South Korean soldiers who were about to walk in front of them, the three soldiers who walked in front of them each held a steel helmet with a mouth facing upwards in both hands, which was full of well water.

The other two South Korean soldiers who looked to be in good shape were very sad, each carrying a sack on their shoulders.

Although the soldiers of the three companies of sharp knives still do not know what is inside these two sacks, from the way the two South Korean soldiers gritted their teeth and insisted, it can be judged that the sacks on their shoulders should be very heavy.

Zhao Yifa, the company commander who was blowing his beard and glaring at Sun Lei just now, felt that his mood just now was too impatient, Cui blamed Sun Lei, and when Sun Lei walked in front of him and instructor Wang Wenju, he looked a little embarrassed.

Without waiting for the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju to open their mouths to ask, Sun Lei took the initiative to explain the story of the matter.

After learning from Sun Lei's mouth that the two captured soldiers who walked at the end were carrying potatoes in the sacks on their shoulders, the two of them immediately laughed from ear to ear, feeling that these two sacks of potatoes were enough for all the soldiers of their three companies to eat for several days, and they didn't have to worry about rations for the time being.

Wang Wenju, as an instructor, laughed for less than five seconds, and suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, at this time, he thought that the two sacks of potatoes were found by Sun Lei in a cellar made of abandoned dry wells in the village.

It is also very likely that the Korean villagers in the village were in such a hurry that they forgot about the two sacks of potatoes, or they were supposed to leave them in the cellar until the war was over, and then they returned to the village from outside to feed the two sacks of potatoes.

In any case, instructor Wang Wenju believes that as a volunteer soldier, even if he steps out of the country, he cannot forget the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention, and he must not take a stitch from a fellow Korean countryman, let alone two sacks of potatoes.

However, the attitude of the company commander Zhao Yifa was very resolute, he thought that the two sacks of potatoes were a life-saving straw for their sharp knife company three companies, because their remaining rations now were only one meal for each soldier in the company, and they still drank white flour and wild vegetable soup.

After the arguments of company commander Zhao Yifa, even Wang Wenju, an instructor who was usually very principled, had to make certain concessions; he took a piece of white waste cloth, wrote an IOU in Chinese with a pen on it, and then asked Sun Lei to write it in Korean according to his meaning.

Then, the instructor Wang Wenju asked Sun Lei to take the IOU with Chinese and Korean written on it, return to the dry well on the left side of the intersection in the village, and throw it in.

In addition, instructor Wang Wenju also recorded the incident in his notebook with a fountain pen, and when the war was over, he must send someone to hand over the money from the two sacks of potatoes to the North Korean villagers in this village at market prices.

The reason why instructor Wang Wenju went to great lengths to type this IOU, which can be regarded as a verbal check, was because none of the soldiers of the three companies of their sharp knives had money in their hands, and it could be described as penniless.

Originally, the soldiers of the cooking squad were asked to cook a pot of thin soup with the little white flour left, but now it became that all the two sacks of potatoes were cooked in a large iron pot, and each soldier of the three companies of the sharp knife company was given five potatoes.

According to the instructions of company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, each soldier can only eat one potato at a meal, and if anyone eats too much or finishes one meal, he will have to fight hungry for the next two days.
