I saw the garrison of the 39th Army from a distance, which was under artillery bombardment, and it was already six o'clock in the morning, but the sun still hadn't gotten up, and the sky was still dark.

The biting cold wind finally made Wei San afraid, the whole person shrank in the carriage, moving forward and sitting in the car will not be the same, the cold close to minus forty degrees makes the water can also become a killing weapon, and the ice chips from the cannonballs can easily cut through people's skin and get into the flesh, so it is best to stay away from the ice.

When there was still about a kilometer away from the place guarded by the 39th Army, Wei San and they all stopped, the most pitiful thing was the people who followed the sliding behind the car, the low temperature not only froze their bodies, but also made their souls almost sealed, after the car stopped for a while, these people have not been freed from the sealing, some of the good physique helped them move their bodies, helping them to speed up the circulation of blood, even so, there is still a person who has never moved by himself.

The frozen soldier's hand was still holding the rope, and it was so stiff that it was difficult to untie him from the rope, and Wang Henian, the commander of the third company who came this time, saluted the soldier and said: "The Korean people will remember you!" ”

Everyone saluted this warrior neatly, and after putting down their hands, everyone climbed up to the shore of the lake, but from the end of the lake to the current position, they used up an hour, and if they didn't speed up, the 39th Army really couldn't hold on!

After the event began, there was a trace of warmth in the body, the steps were no longer so stiff, and the speed of walking also accelerated, and when he approached the rear of the defense line of the 39th Army, a voice came from a snow slope in the dark: "Stop!" Who? ”

It was the sentry defending here, he discovered the whereabouts of Wei San and others, and the third company commander Wang Henian said: "We are the troops of the 112th Division to reinforce us, where is your company commander?" ”

A warrior with a white cloak climbed up from the snow, the camouflage was in place, and the white cloak and white snow were not visible at all.

The soldier came down from the snow slope with an excited face and said, "You are here, our company commander is in front, how many people are you here?" ”

"One hundred and fifty people!"

"So little!" The warrior was obviously taken aback, what could such a small number of people do!

"Let's take us to the front line first!"

"Oh, well, follow me!"

The shores of Changjin Lake are all high and low peaks, the altitude varies from 1200-1500 meters, more than a little and a half higher than the intersection of the 38th Army's defense, the height is not cold, and the 39th Army can not withstand the cold for a reason.

When Wei San and the others arrived at the defensive position of the 2nd Company of the 472nd Regiment of the 39th Army, the enemy was beaten down again, and there were only a dozen soldiers alive here.

was hit by Wei San with an elbow, Ma Youde didn't cry, if he cried at this time, it was not a question of shame or not, but it would have a psychological impact on the living.

After Wang Henian came up, just as the enemy had retreated, a man with a dark face and blood stains turned around and looked over, and the soldier who brought them said: "This is our company commander, Yang Zonglin!" ”

Wang Henian stepped forward and took Yang Zonglin's hand in a tone full of greetings and said, "Company Commander Yang..... You're good! It's hard for you...."

Yang Zonglin just looked at Wang Henian and didn't speak, and the voice of a soldier next to him came: "Our company commander..... The ears were blown deaf. ”

Hearing this, Wang Henian, including Wei San and the other soldiers who came with him, felt suffocated, and his hatred for the Yankees became infinitely bigger, and at the same time, he was full of admiration for Yang Zonglin.

Although Yang Zonglin was deaf, he knew what Wang Henian wanted to express: "Comrade.... It's great that you're here..... The position will be handed over to you, I have completed the task given to me by the regiment commander, I have not lost the position, you must also hold it! ”

Knowing that Yang Zonglin couldn't hear it, Wang Henian, including Wei San, Ma Youde and other people who came with him, shouted in unison: "We will definitely be able to defend this place and never let the American devils step past us!" ”

Yang Zonglin saw something from their momentum, and smiled bitterly: "We have more than 130 people, and now there are only a few of us left, I ask the company commander to agree to let us stay, and we will avenge our brothers in the company!" ”

Wang Henian choked up, he couldn't make this decision, he said: "Company Commander Yang.... You better go to the rear and rest, we will hold our position, please trust us! ”

Yang Zonglin didn't know what Wang Henian was talking about, but looking at the shape of his mouth, he should not agree with his proposal just now, he muttered in his mouth: "Revenge, you must take revenge, more than 110 lives are gone, what am I going to do when I go back, you let me stay, let them go to the back, they are still young......"

"Company commander!"

"Company commander, let's not go!"

"Company commander .... Let me stay! ”

“..... My brother died next to me, I don't leave, I want revenge! ”

"Comrade Company Commander, you don't know, now it's just for us to go, we can't go, our legs have been frozen, and we are unconscious......"

Wang Henian changed from choking to uncontrollable, his chest rose and fell violently, he turned his back, thought for a while, in fact, he didn't want the soldiers to see the tears he was about to shed, and then he turned around and said: "Okay, if you don't go, you won't leave, let's avenge our brothers together!" ”

"Thank you, Comrade Company Commander, thank you, Comrade Company Commander, I can finally give an explanation to my soldiers."

Yang Zonglin gratefully took Wang Henian's hand again and said, and then he said to the remaining soldiers: "Comrades, collect all our remaining ammunition and hand it over to this ...... Captain. ”

Wang Henian has not introduced his name until now, he wrote his name on the ground to Yang Zonglin, and after Yang Zonglin saw it, he said to the soldiers: "You must obey the command of Wang Henian's company commander, I am now a soldier like you!" ”

Wei San turned his head and didn't continue to look at it, he began to observe the terrain here, a high ground about three hundred meters above sea level, the location is not bad, there are a few hills around, and there are probably other companies defending the position, sporadic gunfire rang out on different hills, it seems that the enemy is attacking again.

Gao Baoguo was panting heavily, he threw the gun to Wang Liansheng and was about to untie the cotton clothes on his body, Wang Liansheng was startled and shouted: "Baoguo, what are you doing!?" ”

Gao Baoguo also choked up and said: "Look at them, their frozen bodies are swollen, they should still be able to live, I want them to feel some warmth again!" ”

Yang Zonglin stopped Gao Baoguo and said: "Brother, don't be impulsive, we are already like this, you are the hope for us to keep going, don't take it off, you really don't need to." ”

There is a solemn atmosphere on the mountain, the battle is so cruel, who wants to suffer this crime, frozen here, only the volunteer soldiers, they have no regrets, they are steel bodies, the heart that can't be killed is so firm, don't reciprocate, no one to thank, none of them escaped.

This is the Volunteer Army, this is the Chinese soldiers, there are only Chinese soldiers who live standing up, and there are no people who are afraid of death on their knees!
