"Sun ...... Comrade Sun Lei, you ...... If you take everyone to hide in this crater, will you be able to avoid the shells fired by the four tanks on the road down the mountain?"

Zheng Jianguo, who was squatting in a large bomb crater on the slope of the north side of the road, covered one of his ears on the left and right sides with his hands, and heard the sound of gunfire one after another outside, which made him tremble all over, but he still asked Sun Lei next to him in a curious tone.

Sun Lei, who pulled out two balls of cotton with his hands from the thick military coat he was wearing on his upper body, first plugged the ear next to him, and then replied in a light tone: "Comrade Zheng Jianguo, I dare not guarantee that the shells fired by the enemy will not explode into the crater where we are now, but I can guarantee 100% that if you do not hide in the crater, you will definitely be killed by the shells flying over." ”

After hearing Sun Lei's words here, Deng Sanshui, who was sitting on the side, suddenly thought of something, and immediately said to Sun Lei in a somewhat excited tone: "I remember, Sun Lei, you Sun monkey, if I guess correctly, you led your comrades to hide in this larger crater, this is called the 'crater principle', right?"

As soon as these words came out, the tension of the soldiers was immediately eliminated, and Zhou Haiyang, who was sitting next to him, also turned into a curious baby, and asked Deng Sanshui for advice in a puzzled tone: "Old Comrade Deng, what is this 'crater theory' you just said, why have I never heard others mention it?"

When Deng Sanshui blurted out the words "crater principle", Niu Tiezhu, as the squad leader, suddenly remembered that he had heard from the company commander and the instructor before, but when it was really useful, he left it behind.

So at this time, Niu Tiezhu decided to show off, and he raised his head to several other fighters except Sun Lei and Deng Sanshui, and explained unashamedly: "Let the squad leader tell the comrades what is the crater principle, that is, on the battlefield, if a new crater appears, then, when the shells are fired again, they will generally not blow up the same crater again." Therefore, the crater we are in at this time is theoretically relatively safe. ”

Deng Sanshui and Sun Lei, after listening to Niu Tiezhu's explanation of the "crater principle", the two of them smiled at each other and shook their heads slightly, but neither of them corrected what Niu Tiezhu said.

Both of them know that the true meaning of this "crater principle" refers to the fact that in order to conceal oneself on a battlefield full of artillery fire, they tend to jump into the crater that has just exploded, because the next shell is not easy to fall on the same point, so the new crater is safe.

But after listening to Niu Tiezhu's explanation, several other fighters who didn't know anything about the "crater principle" all gave him a thumbs up, and all praised their squad leader for knowing a lot.

If it is according to the meaning of the "crater principle" in the true sense of the word, in fact, they cannot be said to be very safe now, and there is still a possibility that they will be bombed again.

However, there was a lot of artillery fire outside the crater, and they could only hide in the crater, even if they wanted to escape and transfer, they did not dare to risk their lives to jump out of the relatively safe crater.

Time passed minute by minute, from the time Sun Lei led a group of soldiers to hide in this big crater, until now five minutes have passed, and the sound of gunfire outside has gradually stopped, not as fierce as just now.

After discovering this new situation, Sun Lei took out the cotton balls that were in the left and right ears, poked half of his head out of the crater, and looked twice in the direction of the road down the mountain.

Fortunately, Sun Lei poked out half of his head from the crater in time to look, and he found that the four tank vehicles that had stopped moving forward just now had begun to move forward slowly, and they were only more than 30 meters away from the area in front of the highway where the barricades were set up.

didn't have time to think about it, Sun Lei reported the situation he had just discovered to Niu Tiezhu, the squad leader who was still squatting in the crater, and several other soldiers in the crater.

After learning about this situation from Sun Lei's mouth, the soldiers all poked their heads out of the crater to take a look, and the situation they saw was exactly the same as what Sun Lei just said, making them anxious one by one like ants on a hot pot, circling in the crater.

As the squad leader, Niu Tiezhu naturally knew that when the company commander Zhao Yi gave him this order, he told him that no matter how much it cost, even if all the soldiers in their squad were sacrificed, the four tanks would be blown up.

At this moment, Niu Tiezhu's ears echoed over and over again the words that company commander Zhao Yifa had instructed him, and suddenly, he made up his mind that all the soldiers in their group were sacrificed, and they had to blow up these four tanks.

But the problem is that the explosive packs they brought before were all gathered together and given to Sun Mancang, and after Sun Mancang was sacrificed just now, the remaining explosive packs were also ignited and exploded by the shells.

At this point, they only have a grenade tied to their waist to blow up the tank, but they must approach the tank and throw the grenade into the tank vehicle to complete the difficult task of blowing up the tank.

In turn, they will have to risk their lives to get close to the four tanks that are still moving slowly, and it is very likely that they will pay with their precious lives.

There is not much time left for them at the moment, and Niu Tiezhu, who has long put life and death out of the way, as the squad leader, he made this decision immediately.

Niu Tiezhu, who was full of enthusiasm, faced the soldiers standing beside him, and said loudly: "Comrades, now if we want to complete the task of blowing up the four tanks that are about to break into the area where we set up barricades, there is only one way now, that is, let's bring grenades and approach those four tanks. Just throw the sounded grenade into the inside of the tank.

"But if you sit like this, I think the consequences of this will be clear to each and every one of you, comrades. There is not much time left for us to think about it, those who are willing to go with me are standing next to me, and those who are not willing to go are standing opposite me. ”

To Niu Tiezhu's surprise, when he finished speaking, except for himself, the other soldiers stood next to him without hesitation, and chose to go with him to blow up the four tanks at the risk of death.

After seeing this, Niu Tiezhu's tears swirled in his eyes, and he said very excitedly: "Well, since the comrades have chosen to blow up the four tanks with me, now take all the grenades tied to your waists in your hands and rush with me!" ”

When Niu Tiezhu finished speaking, the soldiers of the first class all took the grenades tied to their waists in their hands, and rushed down the mountain with Niu Tiezhu, who took the lead in running.
