Chapter 70: The Touched Transporters

Xia Yuan thought twice and decided to fetch water!

He woke up the warriors and discussed countermeasures, and the warriors said:

"Company commander, give the order! We listen to you! ”

"Company commander, we all listen to you!"

In today's battle, they have seen the bravery of this combat hero and are deeply impressed, plus Xia Yuan himself is a company commander, the soldiers are very convinced of Xia Yuan, and gather around Xia Yuan with guns, and the combat enthusiasm on their faces is not hidden at all.

Collecting water seems to be a very difficult task, but in the eyes of the soldiers, it is a glorious thing, and if some water can be retrieved for the comrades in the tunnel, it will be a supreme honor.

Xia Yuan said: "Since everyone has no objections, then I will say it." Now the conditions in the tunnel are so difficult, it is not easy to improve, especially the problem of lack of water source, the first thing we have to solve is the problem of water source, I just thought about it, we only need to pass through the blockade line of the stick soldiers on the 11th position, touch the ravine, complete the task of taking water, and then come back, less than a kilometer back and forth. ”

"This time, I plan to send three people with thirty kettles to complete this water collection task!"

Xia Yuan's idea is not groundless, and it is crucial to solve the problem of water shortage in the No. 11 tunnel.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't solve it, it's just that the soldiers have to work harder in the tunnel.

Think twice and again, solving the problem of water is a crucial problem today. In addition, he also wanted to take a look at the 537.7 Heights North Mountain, which was much more difficult to sturdy than the 597.9 Heights.

As soon as Xia Yuan's proposal was launched, the soldiers rushed to participate in the operation, seeing the soldiers responding so enthusiastically, Xia Yuan's heart was full of emotion, in Shangganling, he witnessed the real comradeship, this is an iron army, it is a force that cannot be defeated or blown up.

With their unswerving will, they built a great wall of thousands of miles, which was the will that made the enemy feel frightened, frightened, and desperate.

There are only some marching kettles in the tunnels, which are touched from the corpses of foreign devils, and when you are lucky, you can find some drinking water in these kettles, but after the stick soldiers came, the soldiers did not take water from the kettles on the enemy's bodies, and the enemies would poison the kettles they carried, and they did not drink it themselves, and the soldiers captured it, and the soldiers would drink it, and some of the fighters would die after drinking, and the soldiers realized that the enemy had poisoned the kettle.

The U.S. military doesn't have these ideas, maybe they don't think that the volunteer soldiers don't even have a drop of water in the tunnel, and sometimes they still have to get water from the kettle they carry.

With thirty-seven marching kettles, there were only thirty-seven marching kettles in the tunnel, Xia Yuan took advantage of the vast dark night with three soldiers, and set off, the eleventh pit was just below the eleventh position, and there were foreign devils on it, before the four of them came out, Xia Yuan borrowed the darkness when the flare was extinguished, turned on the night vision and observed the stick soldiers around first, and determined that the stick soldiers were in the fire bunker on the anticline.

The small anticline actually pierced eight enemy machine-gun bunkers, and large and small trenches were crisscrossed along the anticline.

From a long distance, you can see the swaying steel helmets of the enemy.

After waiting for almost a minute, the enemy fired a flare, the shining flare flashed brightly, the fog in the ravine was so clear, everywhere you could see the body of the transporter lying on the ground, his body was covered with blood holes, and a lot of materials fell far away, the enemy's guns were aimed at the bottom of the mountain, no one dared to go over to take it, once discovered, the enemy's several heavy machine guns would shoot out a string of fire chains, and the guy hit his body, and the flesh could be broken.

Soldiers often say that the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets are brilliant and look beautiful, and when they encounter it, it is the life talisman of Lord Yama, and they may be driven away at some point.

Before setting off, the four of them ate some biscuits and drank some water, and the soldiers sent them to the mouth of the tunnel, where a light machine gun was set up on the bunker at the mouth of the tunnel, facing the top of the mountain, and the fighters who were responsible for covering the water were specially arranged.

Before setting off, Xia Yuan specially told the three of them: "Be calm, don't be impatient, climb slowly, the enemy's eyes are sharp, you may not be able to see, but you can't be careless, this time you must be going all the way to be dangerous, but if we can get back the water, we can solve the current dilemma of the tunnel." ”

The severe lack of water made the soldiers have to eat radishes to quench their thirst, but they would rather eat the radish with heartburn than eat the biscuit, because eating the biscuit will make the saliva in the mouth dry up quickly, and the soldiers will subconsciously think that eating biscuits will accelerate the loss of water, so they would rather be hungry than eat the biscuit.

Water is the source of life, and this sentence is vividly embodied in Shangganling.

Taking advantage of the night, when the flare was extinguished, the four of them quietly climbed out of the tunnel, carrying the kettle, and crawled in the direction of the ravine. It was Xia Yuan who led the way, with his powerful night vision, he saw the terrain in the entire ditch clearly, knew which direction to climb, and the location was good.

Install the latest version. 】

Night vision and eagle eye played a huge role in this moment.

Position No. 11 came to see when he first came to Shangganling, and he still had an impression of the topography here, the vegetation was lush and the trees were vigorous, but after these days of fighting, everything here changed, the traffic ditch between the two tunnels was gone, only large and small craters lined up on the hillside, dense vegetation, and vigorous trees were gone, replaced by a scorched earth and dead trees that were scorched and had no leaves.

Behind is the main peak of Shangganling, and you can also see the village under the main peak of Shangganling, I have been to it once before, although it has been bombed by the enemy, but there are still many broken walls, and now only a ruin remains.

Xia Yuan climbed while constantly observing, and after determining a feasible road, he led the three of them to climb over carefully, the soil on the hillside in this area, repeatedly ploughed by the enemy's shells, has turned into a thick powder, only by immersion, can you have a real feeling of the destructive power of the war.

Xia Yuan had never seen the soil being beaten so soft, people walking on it were like stepping on the snow, and their feet would sink as soon as they stepped on it, and if they climbed a foot, they had to sink five inches. He put his hands into the soil hard, the lower half of his body shrank forward desperately, lying on his stomach hard, and he was sweating profusely before he climbed out of the distance, the dust stuck to his face and itched uncomfortably, his eyes were squinted so that he couldn't open them, his palms and sleeves were full of dirt, he shook his head vigorously, stared at the distance, and continued to crawl forward.

Suddenly, with a 'horn', a flare bloomed on their heads, swaying in the wind blowing from side to side, Xia Yuan and they quickly stopped, waited patiently, the enemy did not notice the same, waited for dozens of seconds, the flare turned from white to yellow, and gradually extinguished, Xia Yuan took the three of them to continue crawling, and soon came to a small bulge, where there was a dry ditch, and there was a small puddle next to it, through night vision, this puddle fell a layer of gunsmoke and shrapnel.

A soldier cautiously shouted: "Company commander, there is water here!" ”

Xia Yuan turned around and said: "We don't want this water, this water is stagnant water, there are a lot of bacteria in it, let's go find living water." ”

In a place like Shangganling, where there is a lack of medicine, and I can't live, I drink these stagnant water, I don't know what will happen, and now I am still in the ravine between the 597.9 highland and the main peak of Shangganling, climb forward, and turn a corner, it is the ditch between 597.9 and 537.7, Xia Yuan seems to remember something.

When the previously seized materials were sent to a company on the 537.7 heights, they walked through the ditch, but they didn't pay attention to the surroundings at the time, after all, they brought a lot of supplies, so they thought about giving the supplies to the company, and now 597.9 is fighting so fiercely, I don't know what the situation is on the 537.7 heights, it is estimated that it will not be too good.

According to what he knew before, 597.9 had already started the third phase of the Shangganling Campaign, and 537.7 was still in dire straits, and the soldiers in the tunnels were not in good condition, many tunnels were broken by the enemy, and the positions fell for a time.

The flare was extinguished, and they continued to crawl forward, gradually moving away from the 597.9 heights, crawling towards the darkness in the distance, and in the distance they could hear the enemy's artillery fire blockade of our army's logistics, and the gunpowder smoke drifted from the blockade area in the distance, a thick one, black like a ghost in the dark night, and the air was mixed with the smell of gunsmoke.

A flare of the enemy rose into the air, the light was projected, a miserable white piece, the crawling soldiers looked back at the 597.9 heights, one by one the flares hung in the sky, the miserable white flares illuminated the entire Shangganling as if it was daytime, under the miserable white light source, is the outline of the highlands.

"Don't mess around! Keep climbing! ”

Xia Yuan knew that their position was basically safe, and they couldn't be careless, maybe the enemy would be staring in their direction, hearing Xia Yuan's voice, the soldiers turned their heads, lying on the ground with their hands and feet, and followed Xia Yuan closely, there was darkness ahead, and they didn't know what was waiting for the soldiers.

Half an hour later, Xia Yuan got up from the ground, pulled the soldiers up one by one, and asked with concern, "How are the hands?" ”

His palms were wrapped with bandages, and his skin had been burned by machine guns before, and with his strong physical fitness, he was basically good.

The soldiers clapped their palms, shook their heads and said, "Company commander, we're fine, let's go quickly." ”

The soldiers also knew that they were now out of the range of Heights 597.9, that the enemy could no longer see them, and that they were safe, but they were still thinking about their comrades in the tunnels of Position 11.

Xia Yuan looked into the distance, a mountain in front of him was the 537.7 Heights North Mountain, he took the soldiers forward not far, and suddenly encountered a team, he calmed down, immediately signaled the team to stop, and hurriedly shouted: "Comrade!

The group in the darkness ahead was startled and looked over with their guns in hand.

"Comrade, I am the current company commander of the Ninth Company of the 597.9 Highland Garrison, Xia Yuan!"

Xia Yuan walked out with three soldiers hiding in the dark, the team in front of him was carrying ammunition and food behind them, there was a platoon of soldiers, more than 30 people, hearing that it was the commander of the ninth company of the original garrison of Shangganling 597.9, they were very excited to surround and stare at Xia Yuan, just like fans looking at stars in the future.

As soon as they spoke, they said excitedly:

"It's a battle hero, it's a battle hero!"

"Great, I met the battle heroes of Shangganling!"

"Thank you for encircling the Motherland on the front line, thank you, you are heroes!"

Then the other party introduced them as logistics transporters and asked them how they were here.

Xia Yuan pointed to the kettles hanging on the warriors' bodies and said, "There is a shortage of water in the tunnel, so I took three soldiers to this ravine to fetch water." ”

A young soldier asked, "Commander of the Ninth Company, are the conditions in the tunnel difficult?" ”

Xia Yuan didn't speak, a soldier beside him said: "In order to encircle the motherland, it is not hard, in order to build our motherland, the Red Army climbed the snow mountains, crossed the grass, and ate the grass roots, and we can still eat the radishes and steamed buns you sent in the tunnel, what is the hardship, we are still happy." ”

The platoon commander of the logistics platoon in charge of transportation hurriedly put down the basket behind him, took out apples one by one, and stuffed them into the arms of Xia Yuan and the soldiers behind him without saying anything, and said while stuffing them: "This is an apple given to us by the Korean people, you can taste it." (At this time, there were apples sent by the Korean people, and there were also apples purchased by the volunteers themselves.) )

The soldiers touched the apple in their hands, and the Adam's apple rolled, and they held it in their hands like this, and kept touching it, as if touching it meant that they had eaten it.

The platoon commander said, "Hurry up and eat, we still have miles in this basket after eating." ”

The soldier shook his head, gave him back the apples, and said, "If we don't eat them, give them to the comrades in the other tunnels to eat, and the company commander will take us to get water, and when we get water, we will be able to drink enough water." ”

The soldiers in front of them came from the tunnel, their lips were already chapped and scorched, they touched the apple and obviously had such a desire, but they still gave the apple back to them, and asked them to give the apple to other comrades in the tunnel.

What a lovely person this is.

Xia Yuan only left two apples, handed them the remaining apples, and said: "There are only four of us, it's not good to take so many apples, and you can't bring them, you go to transport apples this time, you must be careful, the enemy's machine gun is aimed at you." ”

He really didn't have much experience to give these fighters, because even he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be killed by the enemy's machine guns every time he came out, and he only relied on his powerful night vision and eagle eye, relying on these two skills, he was able to probe the terrain and determine the direction in which he could move.

After all, the No. 11 pit mouth is not like the No. 1 pit pass, it is not only the stick soldiers on the No. 1 position, but also the bunker strafing built by the stick soldiers on the ridge of the zero position, which can be said to be attacked from three sides, and the No. 1 pit mouth is like this, so the conditions at the other pit crossings are even worse.

Especially the 537.7 highland Beishan, which he has not been to, is estimated to be even more unimaginably difficult.

The platoon commander said: "It doesn't matter, in order to support the soldiers in the tunnel, what are you afraid of, the motherland will remember us, the people will remember us, we are the loveliest people!" ”
