"Platoon Commander Zhang, what should we do now? Didn't you just tell us that this US military transport plane bound for Xiajieyu would definitely drop food supplies when it passed over our heads and saw us standing next to the fire shouting in English to the US military pilot flying the transport plane?

"However, just now the big guys shouted to the point of dry mouth, why did this US military flight ignore our existence and fly away directly in the direction north of the hillside, what the hell is going on? Can you explain this to our comrades in the company? ”

Wang Erkui, a squad of soldiers who squatted on the snow, watched the US military transport plane that flew over their heads a minute before Ning disappeared from his sight, and then faced Sun Lei, who was standing not far away, and complained loudly with impatience.

As soon as Wang Erkui's words fell, Sun Shulin, a soldier of the second squad of the third company and the first platoon, who was also squatting on the snow next to him, also followed closely and questioned their platoon commander Sun Lei: "Platoon commander, Comrade Wang Erkui is very right, we will do whatever you ask us to do, including the company commander and instructors, all obey your arrangements and dispatches, including the platoon commander."

"But in the end, the transport plane of the US military didn't take us seriously at all, and when it flew over the top of his head, it didn't slow down its flight at all, and flew directly in the direction of the north.

"Tell me, the comrades of our company have been looking forward to the stars and the moon since they ran out of yesterday's rations, and finally they have looked forward to the US military plane carrying food supplies.

"However, people don't give us anything at all to pretend to be soldiers of a small group of South Korean troops. Now, even everyone is afraid that we will have to count the pine nuts in our hands again. Platoon commander, what are we going to do next, are we going to die here and wait? ”

When Sun Shulin finished speaking, immediately after, Feng Pengju, the third platoon commander of the third company of the sharp knife company standing next to him, also complained angrily to Sun Lei, who was stunned in place: "Platoon Commander Sun, tell me about you, we shouldn't have expected to drop food and supplies to us on this hillside by the US and South Korean coalition planes stationed in this military fortress in Xiajieyuli.

"It is estimated that we who are pretending to be soldiers of a small South Korean unit may not be able to reveal our true identities now. Nine times out of ten, the US military pilots who flew the transport planes were able to see through it, so they didn't give us food supplies. If we had known that this would be the case, then we should have thought of other ways to solve the food ration problem in the first place.

"It's good now, the soldiers of our whole company have less than three hundred pine nuts in the singer, and there is nothing else to eat. If you rely on these few pine nuts alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to last long.

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if we all persevere, as the company commander and instructor said, we can hold on for a week. It is estimated that the fighters who are hungry and rumbling will definitely have a sharp decrease in combat effectiveness. Then how can we cooperate with the large army to fight this blocking battle? ”

Without waiting for Sun Lei, who came to his senses, opened his mouth to answer the questions they raised, Liu Yiming, the second platoon commander who stood side by side with Feng Pengju, had a lot of criticism for Sun Lei at this time, and echoed Feng Pengju's speech just now: "What Platoon Commander Feng said has some truth, Platoon Commander Sun, if the combat effectiveness of our company declines, I'm afraid this blocking battle will not be easy to fight."

"The top priority now, Platoon Commander Sun, you have to hurry up and think of another way, how can we solve this urgent shortage of food in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, it will definitely not work to let the comrades fight hungry. What's more, there is no clear date for when the large army will be able to come over and join us, and if it drags on like this, I'm afraid that there will be deaths at that time. ”

Including Liu Yiming, the second platoon commander of the third company of the sharp knife company, and Feng Pengju, the third platoon commander, all jumped out at this time and "fell into the well" to Sun Lei, in fact, they were also forced to be helpless, after all, the soldiers of their two platoons were also hungry and screaming, and if they did not express their protest, the soldiers of the second and third platoons would definitely protest to the two of them as platoon commanders.

However, as the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju, although the two of them also had anxious expressions on their cheeks at this time, they did not mean to criticize Sun Lei, but remained calm and calm on the surface, hoping that Sun Lei could find a solution to the shortage of rations as soon as possible.

Originally, company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju both thought that each soldier in the company could survive for about a week if they were given 300 pine nuts, but now after hearing the speeches of Liu Yiming, the commander of the second platoon, Feng Pengju, the commander of the third platoon, and several other soldiers of the first platoon, they realized that if the situation continues to develop, let alone a week, it will be enough time for two or three days.

As the saying goes, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very backbone, at this moment, it is deeply confirmed that this sentence is still very reasonable.

"Comrades, everyone should be quiet, let Platoon Commander Sun think about what method to take next to solve the problem of food shortage. If there is a mess, Platoon Commander Sun's thinking will be affected. Instructor Wang Wenju couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately stopped the fighters in the other companies who wanted to continue to protest.

When the soldiers of the whole company heard the instructor Wang Wenju say this, they all fell silent, and no one continued to jump out to accuse and criticize Sun Lei.

Suddenly, at this moment, the whole hillside fell silent, so silent that if a hair-like needle fell on the snow, the sound of it falling could be heard clearly.

At this time, Sun Lei could hear the heartbeat of the soldiers standing within five meters of him, and he could hear it very sensitively.

And after less than ten seconds, Sun Lei, who pricked up his ears, suddenly heard the roar of an airplane from the air on the north side of the hillside......

It's just that this very faint roar of the plane can only be heard by Sun Lei alone, and the other people who are standing around the three sharp knives that are about to extinguish the fire pile are not heard at all, they all stand in place, focusing on leaving Sun Lei alone, wanting to see what good way he can come up with this time.
