"This comrade, you have worked hard all the way!"

"You little comrade, you look quite energetic after a night trip!"

The company commanders and instructors who came out of the wooden house were originally pacing towards Sun Lei, but when they saw Gao Zhiyuan standing next to Sun Lei, they saluted and reported to them, and they couldn't save this face, so they had to walk over and shake Gao Zhiyuan's hands politely, and praised them with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, the company commander and the instructor stood in front of Sun Lei left and right, and the three of them stood opposite each other and stared at each other for ten seconds, each with a smile on their cheeks, but the tears in their eyes kept rolling.

What Gao Zhiyuan, who was standing next to him, and the two soldiers in charge of patrolling who came out of the wooden house never expected that Sun Lei was staring at the new company commander and instructor so affectionately, and nine times out of ten they should be old acquaintances.

After almost ten seconds, I don't know if it was Sun Lei, or the new company commander and instructor standing opposite him, who took the step forward first, anyway, under the witness of the three melon-eating spectators next to them, the three of them suddenly hugged each other, and they all burst into tears and couldn't cry.

"Sun Lei, you kid is really blessed with a great life, you are the only one left with more than 30 soldiers in your platoon, as well as your platoon commander Liu Sanshun and veteran Deng Sanshui, as well as Niu Tiezhu and the four of you, all the others were killed and sacrificed, that battle was really tragic.

"It's a pity that they're all seriously injured now, and you kid doesn't have to deal with it. It is said that this injury will take 100 days to recuperate, and I don't know when their injuries will heal, and I don't know what is going on with the two of them now. ”

Company Commander Zhao Yifa hugged Sun Lei, who had not been seen for many days and missed him very much, with tears in his eyes, and said with infinite sadness.

After listening to the somewhat sentimental words of the company commander Zhao Yifa, Sun Lei comforted: "Company commander, don't worry too much, our old platoon commander Liu Sanshun, as well as the veteran Deng Sanshui, although the injuries look serious, but after a few days of treatment, both of them can move freely."

"As for the cow squad leader, he also woke up two days ago, before I came, lying on the hospital bed was still sober-minded, able to talk and do anything, I believe that after another year and a half, he will definitely be able to fully recover."

Just now, Zhao Yifa, as the company commander, still had a worried expression on his face when he mentioned Liu Sanshun, Deng Sanshui and Niu Tiezhu, and now when he heard Sun Lei say this, he was obviously a lot more relaxed, and after a long sigh of relief, he continued: "I hope that the three of them can heal their injuries sooner, and look forward to their early return to the team, and continue to fight as soldiers in our newly formed three companies of sharp knife companies." ”

Now that he heard the company commander Zhao Yifa talk about the newly formed Sharp Knife Company Third Company, Sun Lei wiped a handful of tears with his sleeve, followed the topic in a curious tone, and continued to ask: "Company commander, instructor, there are only four people left alive in our Sharp Knife Company Third Company except for our platoon, how about the casualties in the second and third platoons?" Why do we have to rebuild the three sharp knives? ”

Regarding the two questions suddenly raised by Sun Lei, the company commander Zhao Yifa stood on the ground and sighed solemnly after letting go of Sun Lei, and did not answer.

At this time, the instructor Wang Wenju, who was standing on the side, replied with a little choked up after a long sigh: "Comrade Sun Lei, in that battle, not only did your platoon suffer heavy casualties, only four people survived, and I and Company Commander Zhao led the soldiers of the second and third platoons, and also fought a bloody battle with the troops of a company of the US army who gave up the charge to the top of the mountain.

"When the reinforcements arrived from the bottom of the mountain, except for me and Company Commander Zhao, there were less than fifteen other comrades left alive, and the rest of the soldiers were killed and sacrificed. Of the 15 fighters who were still alive, two were stabbed in the arms and thighs, and the other three were also seriously wounded and taken to a field hospital for treatment. ”

After saying this, instructor Wang Wenju took out a red handkerchief folded into a square shape from his trouser pocket, wiped the tears flowing from his cheeks twice, and then continued: "Comrade commander of the unit, after hearing about the heavy casualties and losses of our Sharp Knife Company, in view of the exemplary and leading role played by our Sharp Knife Company Third Company in the previous battles, it was only with the approval of the superior organization that we decided to rebuild the Sharp Knife Company Third Company.

"Company Commander Zhao and I also took the soldiers of our old third company with less than ten people left, and after we retreated and moved here, we received the comrades of the head of the unit, and selected more than 100 people from among the soldiers who had participated in the previous battles in several other regiments and performed heroically and basically recovered from their injuries, and this is how it happened."

Zhao Yifa, the company commander who had not spoken just now and only cared about sentimentality, found that after Sun Lei listened to the words of instructor Wang Wenju, he began to look carefully at the four wooden houses side by side next to him.

Without waiting for Sun Lei to ask, Zhao Yifa, the company commander who was relieved from the sad emotions just now, immediately explained: "Sun Lei, you kid is just too cautious, you look at the four wooden houses side by side with bright eyes, and you must be thinking in your heart, this wooden house will not be the home of the North Korean villagers who occupied the family, and made it into the military camp of our newly formed Sharp Knife Company Third Company."

I can tell you, Sun Lei, you kid thinks too much, we are volunteers to fight in this place, and after returning to China, we will be the People's Liberation Army, no matter when, we will not take a stitch from the masses, let alone occupy the homes of other Korean comrades.

"To tell you the truth, Comrade Sun Lei, when we retreated and passed through here, the house was already empty, and there was not even a ghost. If you think about it, the war broke out so much that the entire Korean Peninsula almost became a battlefield, and many Korean villagers fled in all directions.

"I see that since there is no one living here, I reported to my superiors and established the military camp of our three companies of the Sharp Knife Company in this place. What's more, the geographical location of this place is very superior, only five kilometers away from the southern front line position, once we receive the combat mission and order from the superiors, we can go to the front line to fight in less than an hour. ”

After seeing the puzzled expression on Sun Lei's cheeks disappear, he had just patronized each other's greetings, and Wang Wenju, as an instructor, suddenly remembered one of the most important things at this time.

I saw that he patted his head first, and then asked Sun Lei again and again: "By the way, Comrade Sun Lei, the notice we received from our superiors a few days ago is that you are returning with a total of 35 fellow soldiers this time. Why is it just the two of you? What the hell is going on? ”

As soon as the instructor's voice fell, Sun Lei did not rush to answer his words, but turned around, put his palms in front of his mouth and made a trumpet shape, and shouted at the place more than 100 meters away in front of him: "Comrades, it is safe here, you all come out quickly." ”
