Xia Yuan came to the open space on the side, asked the soldiers around him for a sapper shovel, and tried to shovel the ground, the ground was frozen hard, and this area was rocky, so it was impossible to dig a smokeless stove. He thought about it seriously and called Wu Wenxiang: "Old Wu, take the people from the cooking class with me, let's go get some hot food." ”

Wu Wenxiang looked at the wounded soldiers, nodded, and went to call a few soldiers from the cooking class, and several of them came to the huge water pipeline.

Pinghe turned his head and asked, "Xia Yuan, why are you going?" ”

"Dig a smokeless stove, the ground inside is too hard, we need to find a softer place to dig."

Xia Yuan replied.

As soon as he walked not far, there was the roar of a US military plane in the sky, and Xia Yuan was shocked, "Hide under the pipe!" Ping River! U.S. planes are coming! ”

Following Xia Yuan all the way, the people of the Seventh Company had a little understanding of Xia Yuan's ability, and Pinghe immediately waved his arm, "US military plane!" Take cover! ”

When the soldiers of the seventh company heard this, they quickly took action, and the soldiers of the ninth company were still a little confused.

Wu Qianli stood up: "Hide, hide!" ”

"Hide the body!"

The other fighters of the Ninth Company could only follow the soldiers of the Seventh Company, although the soldiers had doubts in their hearts, but the execution was still very strong, and they quickly hid the corpses of their dead comrades and quickly hid in the cave.

Lei Gong pulled Wu Wanli, "Hide!" ”

Wu Qianli walked over quickly and squatted beside Lei Gong: "The US planes are coming again, probably trying to find us, but they definitely didn't expect that we were next to these pipelines." ”

Lei Gong nodded: "Qianli, how are you going to fight tonight?" ”

Wu Qianli looked at the time: "It's not clear yet, I'll ask the people of the Ninth Company later, and see how they fought last night." ”

Lei Gong nodded and grabbed him, "Don't forget the artillery platoon this time." ”

Wu Qianli nodded heavily, turned his head to look at Wu Wanli who was holding the radio, and reached out to rub Wu Wanli's hat: "Protect the radio." ”

"Hmm." Wu Wanli hummed, "Brother, you have to be careful." ”

"Don't worry, you just follow Lei Gong to learn artillery, and become an artillery in the future!"

"Hmm!"

During the conversation, the roar of US military planes came from the sky, coming from the distant sky, and constantly spreading, and the soldiers of the Ninth Company, who had been in doubt, lost their voices and crowded to hide in this narrow cave.

Pinghe also flipped down from the diversion pipe, squatted beside Xia Yuan, and looked up at the sky through the gap between the pipes.

A formation of US planes flew in the distant sky, and on the rolling mountains, dropped napalm bombs one after another, and the napalm fell on the high mountains, and a dazzling and dazzling fire rose into the sky, accompanied by a huge roar, and a terrifying wave of air swept in, rolling up the gravel and snow from the distant mountains, spreading to a distance of 1,000 meters.

The area where they were hiding was not spared, the residual heat of the diffuse fire directly melted the snow on the mountain above them, and the water flowed down the cliff face with a snap, and the red heat wave rolled in, accompanied by a scorching wave of air, blowing open the white cloth covering the faces of the sacrificed soldiers, melting the snow under them, and also blowing the frosty cheeks of the soldiers hiding in the cave, and also reflected their faces a fiery red.

Pinghe held the gun and looked at the bright fire in the distance: "It's so warm." ”

Xia Yuan nodded, his gaze was attentive for a long time: "Yes, it's so warm." ”

As far as they could see, the thick layer of snow was melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for the bare rocks on the surface to be revealed.

A round of bombing by U.S. planes set fire to several hills.

After the bombardment, it was convenient for Xia Yuan, the snow on the ground melted, revealing the surface, and you could see at a glance where the dirt was and where the rocks were, and there was no need to search for a place to dig a smokeless stove in the snow.

After the artillery bombardment of the US army ended, the nearby mountains were scorched, and Yu Congrong shouted: "Wan Li, give me the radio." ”

Wu Wanli turned his head: "Why are you going." ”

Yu Congrong took the radio, exhaled the cold air, and said: "On the mountain after the US bombing, the soil is hot, I will bury the radio station, maybe the battery will be able to thaw." ”

When he came out, he saw Xia Yuan tinkering with today's food, and stepped forward and asked, "What kind of food are you cooking?" ”

"What else could it be?"

Xia Yuan took out the can from his arms, picked up the frozen beans inside with a bayonet, and threw them in the pot.

Wu Wenxiang got a lot of snow, poured it into the steel helmet on the ground, raised his head and greeted Yu Congrong: "Platoon Commander Yu." ”

Yu Congrong smiled and said, "I'll leave me an extra piece of meat later." ”

Xia Yuan: "The meat is reserved for the wounded, where are you hurt?" ”

Yu Congrong covered his chest with a gesture: "Hey, it's hurt, it's hurt." ”

Xia Yuan scolded with a smile: "!" ”

Yu Congrong smiled, "Let's go." ”

Fried noodles, kneaded potatoes, canned meat, and biscuits were pounded together to make a lake, and this meal almost became the favorite food of the soldiers of the Seventh Company.

Xia Yuan thought for a while and said, "Make some more sugar water and let the soldiers drink some sugar water." ”

There were some leftover chocolates and candies in the canned U.S. military food he carried, which melted in water and tasted sweet to drink, which could replenish physical strength and nutrition.

It was the first time that the soldiers of the Ninth Company had seen smokeless stoves, so some soldiers of the Ninth Company leaned over and also helped to get some snow and dry firewood, or learned to dig smokeless stoves, and the smokeless stoves dug seven or eight, put the steel helmets of the American army on top, covered the gaps with mud, and filled them with snow to boil water.

Smelling the fragrance wafting through the air, the soldiers of the Ninth Company swallowed saliva from time to time.

"How long has it been since you eaten?" Xia Yuan gave up his position and let the soldiers of the Ninth Company get closer to the mouth of the pot and be warmer.

"I've been on the road lately, and I don't have much dry food on my body, so I eat snow when I finish eating potatoes and fried noodles, and I can endure hunger by eating more snow." A little soldier rubbed his hands, looked at the noodles cooked in the pot, and asked, "What is this, it smells so good." ”

Wu Wenxiang stirred the noodles in the pot with a stick and explained: "Fried noodles and canned food from the US military are boiled together, and the taste is okay." ”

The soldiers of the Ninth Company understood, they stared at the smokeless stove, and said: "There is no smoke, no wonder you Seventh Company dare to make a fire to cook, this method is really good." ”

The soldier of the cooking squad next to him boiled the pot and said, "Here, thank you to the second platoon leader, Xia Yuan." ”

The soldiers of the Ninth Company turned their heads and looked at Xia Yuan with a look of surprise: "You are Xia Yuan!" Seven Consecutive New Battle Heroes! ”

"Combat heroes are not counted, we are just ordinary warriors, and it is what we should do to go into battle and kill the enemy." Xia Yuan's face was wrapped in dirty strips of cloth, and he couldn't see his appearance, especially the black clothes on his face and body.

It's no wonder that the soldiers of the Ninth Company couldn't tell the difference.

A soldier of the Ninth Company said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, our battalion commander has told us about your deeds, and every time there is a battle, he will say, hey, look at you, look at Xia Yuan of the Seventh Company, the three of them are holding a position, facing the artillery fire and tanks of the American army, and they insist on holding on to the reinforcements. ”

A soldier next to him said: "When I took the bridge last night, the battalion commander told us that we should learn more from Xia Yuan in the war." ”

Xia Yuan smiled knowingly, brushed the jar with hot water, there was still oil and water in it, and handed it to the soldier who was talking beside him: "Drink these soups." ”

The little soldier looked at the hot water in the jar, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook his head and said, "I don't drink it, let our squad leader drink it, he is injured." ”

Xia Yuan scolded: "If you want to drink, you will drink, grinding and chirping, your squad leader is indispensable." ”

He scooped up some hot water from other jars and shook them one by one, and handed them to the soldiers around him one by one, seeing that they didn't move their mouths when they held them, he said helplessly: "After drinking the jar, I want to fill the can, there is still oil and water in it, what a pity to pour it, you drink it first, and then you will scoop the empty jar with sugar water and serve it to the wounded soldiers, who are bleeding and cold all over, drink some sugar water to keep warm and replenish their physical strength." ”

The soldiers of the Ninth Company in front of them drank the hot soup in their hands with confidence and handed the empty jar to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan scooped up some sugar water and said, "Go ahead, it's a little hot, tell them to be careful, don't burn it, and come over to eat some food later." ”

"Hey, thank you, Comrade Xia Yuan!"

Looking at the backs of the soldiers leaving, Xia Yuan smiled, turned his head and took out all the canned food on his body, "Cook all of these today, let the soldiers have a hot meal, eat well!" Eat one's fill! ”

The squad leader of the cooking squad on the side said with a smile: "Platoon Leader Xia, why don't you just come to our cooking squad as a platoon leader." ”

Wu Wenxiang smiled honestly: "I will be the platoon commander for you, what about our second platoon?" ”

The warrior said, "You will do it." ”

Wu Wenxiang shook his head: "I'll be the deputy platoon commander." ”

"Platoon commander, the company commander called you to a meeting."

Just as they were listening to the conversation, a soldier in the second platoon ran over and shouted.

Xia Yuan clapped his hands, handed the stick to the soldiers beside him, got up and said, "Okay, Wu Wenxiang, you can arrange for the soldiers to cook here, dig smokeless stoves, and have a little boiled water and sugar water." ”

Wu Wenxiang responded: "Yes!" ”

"Fill me with some more boiled water, take it with me."

The soldiers of the cooking squad filled some boiled water in canned jars and distributed them to the other fighters.

The soldier of the second platoon suppressed his voice and said: "Platoon commander, you be careful, I just talked about the battalion commander getting angry and saying... Say..."

Xia Yuan paused, poured out the boiled water in the jar in his hand, and replaced it with sugar water, "It's okay, say." ”

"Talking about the battalion commander, you kid is uneasy and kind."

Xia Yuan smiled and didn't answer, but said, "Okay, just pretend so much." ”

Then he said to the soldiers in the second platoon: "Go and call all the people in the second platoon and let them serve tea." ”

"Hey."

Xia Yuan came to the cave with the soldiers carrying boiled water, Wu Qianli, Mei Sheng, Tan Ziwei, Yu Congrong, the third platoon commander, and the platoon commander of the ninth company were all there, they gathered together, and when they saw Xia Yuan coming, they all looked over.

Xia Yuan held a jar of steaming boiled water in each hand, and said with a smile: "Look, drink some hot tea to warm up your body first." ”

Mei Sheng said: "Drink the wounded first." ”

"Instructor, I've arranged some sugar water for the wounded." Xia Yuan had a smile on his face, and handed the sugar water to the cold Tan Battalion Commander, "Talk about the Camp Commander, drink some sugar water." ”

Tan Ziwei glared at Xia Yuan and Wu Qianli, and grinned, "You two attacked me." ”

Wu Qianli laughed dryly: "Then how can it, the second platoon leader gave you medicine, but you fainted in pain." ”

Tan Ziwei glared: "Wu Qianli, you kid still frames me!" ”

Wu Qianli said: "Talking about the battalion commander, you have wronged me, okay, let's not dwell on this matter, it is still important to blow up the bridge, you drink some sugar water to warm up your body first." ”

"Don't drink it." Tan Ziwei looked at the sugar water in Xia Yuan's hand, still sulking.

Wu Qianli kicked the buttocks of the soldiers of the Ninth Company, and the soldiers of the Ninth Company persuaded one after another: "Battalion commander, you just drink, it's still important to be physical." ”

"Yes, battalion commander, what's the matter after the meeting."

Looking at the anxious soldiers of the Ninth Company, Tan Ziwei moved, looked at Wu Qianli and Xia Yuan, and scolded with a smile: "You two boys, if I hadn't woken up quickly, wouldn't you have sent me back to the rear?" ”

Wu Qianli smiled dryly: "How can it be, it's okay to be in a coma, it doesn't hurt to take medicine." ”

"Go."

Tan Ziwei glared at Wu Qianli, took the sugar water, and said, "Your kid is also tender and black, and now I feel a little pain in the back of my neck." ”

Xia Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Tanzi took a sip of sugar water for a small sip and said, "It's not bad, I have a heart." ”

Wu Qianli clapped his hands: "Okay, hurry up and have a meeting." ”

He crouched down and asked, "How did you blow up the bridge last night, and what tactics did you use?" Which part of the fried? ”

Tan Zi took a sip of sugar water and said, "Yang Zi, tell them." ”

"Yes!"

A young soldier named Yang Zi stepped forward and said: "It's still an old trick, attacking the east and the west, our second platoon is attacking on the north side of the bridge, pulling the gun line, blocking the eye-catching, suppressing the enemy's heavy firepower, and distracting the enemy's attention." To the south of the bridge, the first platoon, under the cover of the third and fourth platoons, disguised as wounded American soldiers, infiltrated the bridge deck, and carried out the task of blowing up the bridge! ”

His voice was low, "But it was still discovered, a platoon of comrades before the sacrifice, sent the explosives package to the bridge deck, in a hurry, the battalion commander used Bazooka to blow up the explosives package, but unfortunately the amount of gunpowder was not enough, the bridge was not exploded, and the operation failed." ”

Wu Qianli fell into deep thought.

Mei Sheng asked: "Have you figured out the enemy's firepower deployment?" ”

Yang Zi didn't speak, and even Tan Ziwei fell silent.

After being silent for a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "When we arrived, the new reinforcements of the US army had just arrived, and we didn't have much time to touch the enemy's defenses. ”

Wu Qianli looked at the sky outside and looked at the time again: "It's still early, let's find out the deployment situation of the US military first, and make plans." ”

He turned his head to look at Xia Yuan, "Xia Yuan, you are familiar with this aspect, and if you touch the enemy's defense, you will leave it to your second platoon to complete." ”

Xia Yuan nodded: "Yes!" ”

Wu Qianli turned his head and asked Yu Congrong: "How is the radio?" ”

Yu Congrong said: "I, Hepinghe, buried the radio battery's battery in the soil on the mountain, and I'll go to see it with Pinghe later." ”

"Hmm." Wu Qianli looked at Tan Ziwei and said: "This matter will be handed over to our Seventh Company, and we will definitely blow up the Watergate Bridge." ”

He turned his head and said, "Action!" ”
