When Zhang Liu, the leader of the cooking squad, spent more than half an hour making a large pot of beef soup, this time he learned wisely, and first gave the company commander and instructor, as well as Sun Lei and himself, each of them weighed a bowl first.

Then, Zhang Liujin shouted to the soldiers who had already eaten a bowl of beef soup just now, "The second pot of beef soup is also the last pot, and now it is stewed." Comrades who didn't eat enough just now can come and serve a second bowl. ”

For the soldiers who had been hungry for a whole day, where could a bowl of beef soup be satisfied, after hearing the shouts of Zhang Liujin, the leader of the cooking squad, they immediately rushed over with their own dishes and chopsticks.

This time, in less than ten minutes, the second pot of beef soup boiled out was cleaned up, and there was not a single soup base left, so that the soldiers of the cooking squad leader simply did not need to brush the pot.

Watching the soldiers snatch the beef soup in the cauldron like wolves and tigers, Wang Wenju, the instructor standing not far away, sighed: "It seems that the soldiers are hungry enough today, and when the war is won, the soldiers must be allowed to eat a good meal of meat." ”

Zhao Yifa, the company commander who was sitting next to Wang Wenju, took a big sip of hot beef soup and said: "I said, old man, it's good that we can have a mouthful of hot soup to drink now, let's take care of the present first, who can say for sure what will happen in the future." ”

As soon as the company commander Zhao Yifa's words fell, instructor Wang Wenju couldn't help but sigh, stopped talking, drank a small sip of steaming beef soup, smashed his mouth, squinted his eyes slightly, and posed with an endless aftertaste.

In stark contrast to Wang Wenju, who was chewing slowly, Zhao Yifa was gulping hot beef soup, and he was not afraid of burning his tongue and mouth, which made Sun Lei, who was sitting not far away, tremble, and felt that Zhao Yifa's mouth and tongue were simply made of steel, and he was not afraid of burning at all.

In less than half an hour, everyone in the Third Company drank all the beef soup in their bowls, grabbed a few handfuls of clean snow, and brushed the iron fist and lunch box that had been licked clean enough.

After the soldiers of the whole company have eaten and drunk enough, the next thing is to get down to business.

No, the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju gathered the remaining 60 or so fighters together to set up roadblocks at night in squads.

At this time, it was nearly eight o'clock in the night, and the place where their third company was located was located in the rear of the strategic stronghold of Guitoudong, within a radius of five kilometers, and there was not even a single South Korean army garrison, which became a vacuum in the area occupied by the United States and South Korean forces.

In this place where the barricades were set up, there were mountains tens of meters high on both sides, and in the middle was a road less than twenty meters wide, which was covered by a thick layer of snow due to several heavy snowfalls in the previous days.

The average thickness of the snow on this highway is 30 centimeters thick, and people can only walk on it one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it will take a lot of physical strength to walk a little faster.

If you were to ride in a car on such a thick layer of snow, it would be much faster to drive than on foot, given that the snow above the road is fairly flat.

Since the U.S. Army landed at Inchon and entered the war, the U.S. and South Korean coalition forces have basically advanced the war situation northward by vehicle, and their third company has set up roadblocks on the only road five kilometers behind Guitoudong.

The purpose was to make it impossible for the US-South Korean coalition forces stationed in Guitoudong to retreat quickly by vehicle once they attacked eastward from Onjeong to Guitoudong, with a total of about two regiments.

In addition, after the battle of Guitoudong starts, you can also stop the reinforcements coming from the rear of Guitoudong, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It can be said that the regimental headquarters still attached great importance to the Third Company, which had suffered one-third of its casualties, and only by showing the fine work style of the Sharp Knife Company in the battle could it accomplish this arduous task of setting up roadblocks.

And Sun Lei's third company, one platoon and one squad are the most neat personnel, only one soldier was sacrificed, and moreover, it was the sharp knife squad of the third company, so they naturally handed over the slope section with the most difficult roadblocks to their squad to complete.

This slope is 50 meters away, and mines and explosives, as well as stones and tree trunks, must be planted before midnight to act as a roadblock.

"Alas, Captain Niu, look at this section of the road assigned by our class, it's just a slope, under this snow is the road and the permafrost next to it, we only have an ordnance shovel, if you dig it like this, when will it be a head.

"From now on, until 0:00 tonight, there are only more than three hours, and in such a short period of time, the company commander and instructor asked our squad to lay 40 mines on this slope section of more than 50 meters.

"This is not the end, our class has to carry stones and tree trunks on this slope of more than 50 meters, and cover them all, this task is too difficult. In my opinion, we won't be able to finish it at all, or the squad leader will report it to the company commander and the instructor. ”

Sun Mancang, a veteran of the third company and one platoon, stood on the assigned slope, while half-squatting weakly wielding the ordnance shovel in his hand, he turned his head and complained loudly at Niu Tiezhu not far away.

Niu Tiezhu, who was struggling to dig down with an ordnance shovel in his hand, heard Sun Mancang next to him say these disheartening words, he stopped what he was doing and turned his head to take a look.

Looking at Sun Mancang's listless and weak look, Niu Tiezhu suddenly became angry, and the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he felt.

In the eyes of Niu Tiezhu, who was furious at this time, the soldier named Sun Mancang in his squad was also a veteran, and he had joined their third company for two years, so why didn't he even have a little ideological height at the critical moment, it was simply a shame for their class, which was known as the "sharp knife class".

Suddenly, at this time, Niu Tiezhu remembered that this Sun Mancang was a soldier of the National Army who was captured by their Third Company when they attacked a stronghold of the National Army two years ago, and later joined their Third Company.

In the past, Niu Tiezhu felt that as long as the matter was not very big, he would turn a blind eye and get by, but this time, the head felt that he had to take care of it.

Niu Tiezhu, who was full of anger, rushed forward in a few arrow steps, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, "bang" whoever let you care, went up is a kick, kicked hard on the half-squatting Sun Mancang's buttocks, and directly kicked the defenseless Sun Mancang out five meters away, lying on top of the thick snow.
