Sure enough, after a while, Platoon Leader Sun came to the rest position of the first class and took Xia Yuan away.

Company Commander Gao and Instructor Lin were very happy to see Xia Yuan, and Platoon Commander Sun Yuan said: "Report to the company commander, instructor, Comrade Xia Yuan is here!" ”

Xia Yuan followed behind Sun Yuan's platoon commander and saluted, "Company commander, instructor." ”

"Sit down and rest."

Company Commander Gao pointed to the small stool on the side and said with a smile: "How long has Comrade Xia Yuan joined the Ninth Company?" ”

Xia Yuan replied truthfully: "A week." ”

"A week, that's still a new soldier, we met some time ago, I have a deep impression of you, now the changes in the tunnel are all due to your ideas, one before and one after two pit mouths, a hidden pit mouth, the enemy is not afraid."

Company Commander Gao poured a glass of water for Xia Yuan, and said happily: "Tonight's battle is fierce, your battlefield performance, I have heard Platoon Commander Sun say, the performance is very good, and it is thanks to you that the second platoon and the first squad can take the enemy's pillbox so quickly, I and the instructor have decided that tomorrow we will hold a commendation meeting in a row, and the end point will praise you." ”

"Yes, company commander!"

Xia Yuan didn't have any objections: "Obey the arrangement of the superiors!" ”

"Okay, okay." Company Commander Gao was even happier and asked, "I just came to the company and regarded this place as my home, so if you have any questions, you can directly report to me." ”

Xia Yuan thought for a while and said, "Company commander, I want to change the gun." ”

"Oh?" Company Commander Gao asked, "What gun?" ”

Xia Yuan put the gun behind him on the table, "Company commander, I want to replace the submachine gun with a large eight captured from the enemy." ”

Company Commander Gao said happily: "What should I do, okay, this gun will be yours in the future." ”

"Thank you, company commander!"

Xia Yuan said with some joy.

"Are there any other questions?"

Xia Yuan shook his head: "Company commander, I'll just ask this one question." No other problems are gone. ”

"Haha, the problem of the fighters is everyone's problem, the soldiers have problems, everyone finds a way to solve them together." Instructor Lin smiled and said, "Comrade Xia Yuan, put away your gun quickly." ”

"Hey! Thank you, instructor. ”

Xia Yuan put the gun behind his back, everyone sat together and chatted for a while, focusing on tomorrow's company-wide commendation meeting, commending Xia Yuan's battle last night, and the company-wide commendation meeting was reported to the regiment headquarters by the instructor, and the regimental director immediately said, "It is the honor of our army to have such soldiers who can fight well, and they should be commended, and they should be publicized, and the spirit of heroic and tenacious soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice should be publicized!" ”

Therefore, the commendation meeting of the whole company in the No. 1 tunnel officially began the next day, commending the volunteer soldiers who died in the battle last night, and publicizing the spirit of the volunteer soldiers who are not afraid of the strong enemy and dare to sacrifice and dedicate.

At the same time, Xia Yuan was also commended, and Director Lin deliberately used 'brave bombardier' to praise Xia Yuan's strong bomb throwing skills, accurate and proficient throwing skills, accurate air explosion thunder, and wide strike intensity.

Under the warm applause, the commendation meeting came to an end.

At the cost of sacrificing 11 people, lightly wounding 9 people, and seriously wounding 6 people, the three platoons destroyed 227 enemies, captured 9 people, captured a company of American-style equipment, and carried out a glorious and exemplary example of small-scale surprise warfare, and commended the whole regiment.

even mentioned the name of the recruit Xia Yuan in the commendation, seven days after joining the company, the first battle on the Korean battlefield, fought beautifully, fought cleanly, played the demeanor of my Chinese sons and daughters, and the enemy screamed.

When squad leader Hu found Xia Yuan with the commendation order, Xia Yuan was still pondering the well, "Xia Yuan, don't think about it, the commendation order in the regiment has come down." ”

He read on it: "In view of Comrade Xia Yuan's heroic performance last night, our regiment specially commends him, and I hope that Comrade Xia Yuan can defy the strong enemy and rise to the occasion..... Show the demeanor of our people's volunteers! ”

Squad Leader Hu said very happily: "Look at how well this is written... Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan. ”

"Squad leader, I'm listening, it's really well written."

Xia Yuan's voice came out of the pit, getting closer and closer to the start of the battle of Shangganling, he tried to transmit information to the company, but failed, no one would believe that such a place would break out in a shocking war in the future.

If it weren't for Xia Yuan coming from the future, it would be hard to believe that a battle would break out here in the future that shocked the whole world.

"You." Squad Leader Hu happily rolled up the commendation order, "Then you continue to work, I'll go to the pit over there to take a look, and call me if there is any problem." ”

"Hey."

After squad leader Hu left, Wang Yongmeng found Xia Yuan again.

"Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan."

During this time, the two were basically familiar with each other, after all, they were in a tunnel, and they were recruits who entered the company together, and they often sat together and chatted.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Yongmeng ran over with a gun in his hand and sat on the ground, "Comrade Dai Zhichun has sacrificed. ”

Xia Yuan in the pit sat up from the pit with his hands on the ground, and was stunned for a moment: "Dai Zhichun? ”

Wang Yongmeng nodded, his voice a little low: "Comrade Dai Zhichun, who joined the company with us, isn't he in your second row?" In the battle that night, he was shot through by an enemy bullet on the way to the charge, and was seriously wounded and did not survive. ”

"Report instructor, my name is Dai Zhicheng!"

Dai Zhichun's loud voice sounded in Xia Yuan's mind, and he said in a deep voice: "Dai Zhichun is in a platoon with me, I rarely see him these days, and even if I do, I have different tasks, and I rarely chat together." ”

He is in the first class, Dai Zhichun is in the fourth class, and each class basically has tasks assigned by the superiors, for example, his personal task is to dig wells, the first and second classes are to dig the first tunnel, the third and fourth classes are to dig the second tunnel, and the fourth tunnel has also begun to be excavated.

No wonder, no wonder I didn't see Dai Zhichun in the past two days, it turned out that he had already sacrificed.

Hearing this news, Xia Yuan felt a little surprised, subconsciously thinking that it shouldn't be, but once the battle starts, how can there be so many shouldn't, bullets will not bypass you just because you are a recruit, let alone bypass you because you are a veteran, even if it is himself, there is no guarantee that he will survive every battle.

The two sat in the tunnel and were silent for a long time, Wang Yongmeng squatted up and said: "Xia Yuan, you have to be careful, I can feel that something big may happen recently, the enemy's movements are very frequent, and the superiors call our company commander from time to time to observe the movements of the US troops on the opposite side." ”

This incident is not uncommon in the company, the US military drove out every day to transport soldiers, and when they came back, the car was empty, but at night the US troops drove out again, and they did not even turn on the headlights, only used searchlights for lighting, and a series of actions of the US troops showed that the enemy seemed to have moved.

Van Vleet's Jinhua offensive, the showdown battle is about to begin, and it won't be long before the grass and trees on Shangganling will be turned over.

He crossed over and had already done all the things he could, such as reminding the squad leader that the enemy's movements were a little wrong recently, whether he wanted to have any thoughts about Shangganling, and then improving the environment of other tunnels, etc.

In fact, these things are not something that he can change if he says it alone, just like in Changjin Lake, individual power has no effect on influencing the wheel of history, he can only make changes in some places.

But in the face of Van Vliet's terrifying amount of ammunition, flattening the hill by two meters, a handful of 39 shrapnel in the soil, and a flag with 391 single holes, such a terrifying battle of Shangganling, even if it is an iron man, can be melted, this is no longer something he can change alone.

The only thing that can change is the environment in the tunnel.

"Comrade Xia Yuan, Comrade Wang Yongmeng."

Before the two could speak, someone called them outside the tunnel, and the two came to the main line tunnel outside the tunnel, and found that the soldiers of the Ninth Company were gathered in the tunnel, all with smiles on their faces, discussing female dolls or something, Xia Yuan found Platoon Commander Hu and asked what happened.

Platoon Commander Hu said: "This is not the female comrades of the art troupe, let's greet and greet, two days ago on the unnamed heights, our company annihilated a company of the enemy at a very small cost, captured a company's weapons and equipment, and also caught nine tongues, no, the reward in the regiment came." ”

Xia Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, no wonder the soldiers looked so happy, it turned out that the female comrades of the art troupe were going to come to Shangganling to perform for them, think about it, living in the tunnel all day long, facing a group of big men, a group of female comrades, it is indeed a topic of relish.

"Squad leader, I'm still going to get a well." Xia Yuan was not interested in female comrades, there were only five or six days left before the Battle of Shangganling began, and he had to get the well out in the last five or six days, even if it was not a well, even if it was only a little water, it was better than nothing.

"Oops, hey."

Squad Leader Hu pulled Xia Yuan, "What are you running, you don't know, the main reason why the art troupe came this time is you." ”

"Me?"

Xia Yuan looked stunned.

What does this have to do with me?

"But no, in this battle, you killed more than 70 enemies alone, assisted the soldiers of the demolition team to finish off the enemy's machine gun bunker, and blew up the enemy's fire point, and received a commendation from our regiment, and many female comrades said they wanted to meet you."

Team Leader Hu said with a smile on his face.

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then squad leader Hu broke out another thing that made Xia Yuan feel a thunderbolt from the sky.

"You're not twenty-four, after our platoon commander and company commander, and the instructor learned about your love life from me, they said that they wanted to introduce you to an object, so we took advantage of this performance of the art troupe, and we even mentioned the names of many soldiers."

Squad Leader Hu said with a smile.

Xia Yuan only felt as if a thunderbolt flashed in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull, and he laughed dryly: "Squad leader, are you sure you're not joking?" ”

"How can this be, Lao Li, tell me if there is such a thing."

Lao Li had a smile on his face, "Xia Yuan, you'll know later." ”

Seeing the mysterious smiles on the faces of the two, Xia Yuan felt uneasy.

Good guy, I wasn't urged to marry at home, but when I came to this world, I was urged to marry by the commanders and fighters.

Sure enough, Platoon Commander Sun came to their squad and said by name that the company commander wanted to see Xia Yuan, and when he left, squad leader Hu still winked at Xia Yuan.

The corners of Xia Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, he looked at Platoon Leader Sun, and couldn't help but say, "Platoon Leader, I just heard what the squad leader said." ”

"Lao Hu told you? It's okay, this also saves a lot of things, Comrade Xia Yuan, this is a good opportunity, you have to take advantage of it. ”

Platoon Commander Sun seemed to be very concerned about the emotional life of the soldiers in the platoon, he said: "This time the female comrades of the art troupe came to perform, on the one hand, they wanted to see the tunnels we dug in a row, and on the other hand, they had something to do with the last battle, but you were named and praised by the regiment headquarters, and the female comrades of the art troupe heard that there was a recruit who had just come to Shangganling for seven days, and for the first time on the battlefield, he killed more than 70 enemies, but he found the regiment commander and said that he wanted to meet you." ”

"Our company commander also said that he just took this opportunity to solve the major life events for some single comrades in our company, if everyone can look at it, it will be double happiness."

Three black lines rose on Xia Yuan's forehead.

Deep inside the main tunnel, there is a large space, and it is also the position of the commander of the Ninth Company, and the space here is very large, especially after the excavation of the past few days, it is obviously bigger than before, and there is no problem for people to stand up.

Company Commander Gao was carrying a kerosene lamp to study the map, and when he saw Xia Yuan coming, he got up and said, "Young, Comrade Xia Yuan is here, come and sit down and say." ”

Seeing that Xia Yuan's face was wrong, Company Commander Gao put down the kerosene lamp and said with a smile: "This is, you know?" ”

"Report to the company commander! Personally, I believe that this is a time of war, and we should focus on national affairs, and we can put it aside for the time being after the war. ”

Xia Yuan knows that in the army, there are rules of the army, it's not that you are petty, you can do whatever you want, and you have to report everything.

"You're good!" Instructor Lin looked at Company Commander Gao with a smile: "Comrade Xia Yuan's ideological consciousness is very high. ”

"Not really."

Company Commander Gao laughed.

Instructor Lin said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, that's what I said, but we are grasping big and small things, there is a country, there is an individual, what is a country, a country is a country, there is a country with a family, and only with a country can there be a home." You have become a small family, not to achieve the country, this matter is also to take into account the old mother and old father in your family, the old man is not easy, the raised doll will be sent to the front line for the country, the old mother and old father believe in the army so much, we should also worry about the second elder, just take advantage of this opportunity to solve your life events first. ”

Xia Yuan's expression was embarrassed, it was worthy of doing the ideological work of a soldier, and he really couldn't refute what he said.

"Instructor, but..."

"Comrade Xia Yuan, this matter is settled. I don't interfere with your relationship with the company commander, if you like it, just say it later, and if you don't like it, say it again. Instructor Lin said patiently: "Let's go down." ”

Xia Yuan pursed his lips, feeling that this is not impossible, he just can't look down on it.

Director Lin said: "This time, in addition to the art troupe, there are also some female comrades of the hygienist who come over, Comrade Xia Yuan, you go and clean up the clothes on your body, drill the pit all day long, and wash your face." ”

Xia Yuan sighed, carried the gun on his back, got into the tunnel, bent down and followed Platoon Commander Sun and left.

Instructor Lin looked at Xia Yuan's back and said: "Comrade Xia Yuan is a precedent for our company, and there are many comrades who are in the same situation as Comrade Xia Yuan, who are older, take advantage of this time when the female comrades come to see if there are any soldiers who have taken a fancy to them, the ideological work of the fighters must be done well, and the personal emotional problems of the fighters, we must also care about them." Especially at this juncture, this kind of condolence performance can not only relieve the nervousness of the soldiers standing in front of them, but also allow everyone to relax appropriately. ”
