When Sun Lei reported the situation of the bombing of the airfield, he reported the situation to company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju in 1510, and then company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju reported the situation to the regiment headquarters in the form of telegrams.

Soon, in less than two minutes, the regiment headquarters called them back, and it was still in an encrypted way.

The regimental headquarters sent a telegram back to the Third Company of the Sharp Knife Company, saying that the Third Company of the Sharp Knife Company was able to blow up the airfield on the outskirts of Xiajieyuli, a military fortress, within a few hours, and also blew up more than a dozen US warplanes parked at the airport and a large arsenal.

In addition, another part of the telegram reminded the Third Company of the Sharp Knife Company that at 12 o'clock tonight, the time for the large army of the Chinese Volunteers to attack Xiajieyuli would not be changed, and asked the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju to prepare for a blocking battle on the hillside five kilometers south of Xiajieyuli.

By the time company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju read the telegram sent by the regiment headquarters, the time had already come to 11:55 p.m., that is to say, there were still five minutes to go, and the battle in Xiajieyuli was about to officially start when the large army of volunteers attacked Xiajieyuli.

However, what puzzled the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju was that they had previously sent people to conduct a close reconnaissance around Xiajieyuli, but they did not find the existence of a large force of the Volunteer Army.

From the content of the regimental headquarters' reply just now, it can be known that the large army of volunteers should be very close to Xiajieyuli, otherwise, there are still five minutes before the battle will start, and their scouts of the three companies of sharp knives have not even found the shadow of the large army of volunteers, which shows that the large army of volunteers is still very well hidden.

You must know that even the three companies of the sharp knife could not discover the existence of the large army of the volunteers, and the US troops who were cowering in the military fortress of Xiajieyu and did not dare to go out to patrol easily could not discover their existence.

Company commander Zhao Yifa saw that Sun Lei had not left yet, standing next to him and looking ready to be on call, he hurriedly walked over and said in a commanding tone: "Comrade Sun Lei, I now order you as the commander of the third company of the Sharp Knife Company, and now I understand that I will immediately return to the air-raid shelter in your platoon to rest." ”

Sun Lei, who had been busy for most of the night, after receiving this order, he first saluted Zhao Yifa, the company commander standing in front of him, and then turned around and returned from the trench aisle to their air-raid shelter in a row.

As soon as he walked to the air-raid shelter, Sun Lei found that it was pitch black inside, and they had previously seized the package airdropped by the US military, and seized ten flashlights and twenty packs of candles from it.

At this time, Sun Lei felt that if they were given a few flashlights or a candle in each air-raid shelter, they might be able to respond quickly when they were in an emergency assembly.

Seeing that there are less than five minutes to go, the large army of volunteers is about to launch a siege on this military fortress in Xiajieyuli, and if they have three companies of sharp knives and soldiers staying in the air-raid shelter, if they are discredited, it is estimated that it will be very time-consuming just to get people out of it.

After thinking of this, Sun Lei hurriedly turned back the same way and returned to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and before he had time to salute and say hello, he raised the problem he was worried about to the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju.

For Sun Lei's suggestion, it immediately aroused the great attention of the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, and after a short discussion in less than ten seconds, it was immediately decided that each of the three platoon commanders would be given a flashlight to use at a critical moment. In addition, a candle and a box of matches were distributed to each bomb shelter to light and use during the emergency conjunction at night.

Soon, Sun Lei had a grenade in his hand, as well as six candles and six boxes of matches, and he immediately returned to the air-raid shelter of the machine gun group of the third company of the sharp knife company, and distributed a candle and a box of matches to the leader of the machine gun group, and also distributed a candle and a box of matches to the squad leaders of the other five squads.

In addition, the matters under what circumstances can candles and matches be lit were also conveyed in accordance with the instructions of the company commander Zhao Yifa and the instructor Wang Wenju, and they were conveyed to every volunteer soldier in the platoon very well.

Of course, in addition to the first platoon leader Sun Lei, the second platoon leader Liu Yiming and the third platoon leader Feng Pengju, both of them were also equipped with a grenade, and at the same time, they also handed each squad leader a candle and a box of matches in the air-raid shelter where each platoon was located.

After the candles and matches were distributed, Sun Lei, who was squatting outside the bomb shelter, looked down at the watch on his left wrist, and the time displayed was now 11:59:30 at night.

In other words, there are less than thirty seconds left before the time when the Volunteer Army will attack the military fortress in Xiajieyuli, and for Sun Lei at this time, it is about to be an exciting moment.

Previously, Sun Lei led their platoon of soldiers to capture a battalion of nearly 1,000 South Korean soldiers, and he learned from these South Korean soldiers that there was only one U.S. infantry regiment with a strength of nearly 3,000 troops stationed in the military fortress of Xiajieyuli.

After getting this important information, Sun Lei naturally reported it to company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju as soon as possible, and then reported this information to the regiment headquarters in the form of a telegram.

In other words, the large contingent of volunteers who are now about to attack the military fortress in Xiajieyuli know the strength of the US troops stationed in the military fortress in Xiajieyuli well, and they can be called knowing themselves and knowing that they will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Time passed second by second, Sun Lei, who was squatting in front of the air-raid shelter, although he was already with his eyes at this time, and the whole person looked very tired, he still lowered his head, looked at the watch on his left wrist, and silently began to count down in his heart: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two......
