Chapter 73 Everyone can have enough to eat. If you want to add meat to every meal, you can add it.
Just as the soldiers in Tunnel No. 11 quickly packed up their weapons and equipment and were about to rush out, they saw a strong figure rushing over and quickly getting into the tunnel.
"Captain Xia! It's Captain Xia!"
The soldiers hurriedly helped Xia Yuan and put him on the ground. The moment he got rid of the enemy's entanglement, Xia Yuan took a deep breath and showed a smile on his face.
I survived. It feels so good to survive.
A soldier asked with concern: "Company Commander Xia, are you not injured?"
Another soldier said: "Captain Xia will not be injured. He ran so fast just now!"
Xia Yuan grinned, showing his teeth, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I survived."
He sat down on the ground, and Hu Zhaochun and three other people came around and said with excitement: "Company Commander, we have brought the water back!"
Thirty-seven pots, one pot not too much, one pot not enough, all were shipped back.
The three of them were so happy. When they came out of the tunnel, they were already prepared to sacrifice. Unexpectedly, Captain Xia not only successfully brought them water, but also brought it back safely.
After solving the water problem in Tunnel No. 11, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He thought of the two apples he had on him, took them out and handed them to the soldiers, saying: "Eat some apples first to moisten your throat."
The soldiers happily took the apples. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they were reluctant to eat them. Xia Yuan smiled and said: "There is no shortage of water in the tunnel now, so hurry up and eat."
The soldiers handed the apple to Xia Yuan and said, "Company commander, you eat first."
Xia Yuan took the apple, took a bite, and chewed it in his mouth. The sweet juice filled his mouth. He squinted and said, "Not bad, it tastes very good, very sweet. Try it quickly."
The soldiers were happy. You took one bite of the two apples and I finished them in one bite.
Just when we were eating two apples in Tunnel No. 11, Position No. 4 of Highland 597.9 was the position garrisoned by the Seventh Company that captured Position Zero of Shangganling and changed hands again. After Captain Feng was injured, he recuperated in the tunnel.
, the instructor is responsible for directing the soldiers in the tunnel to fight and fight against the enemies outside the tunnel.
On the night of October 26th, Liu Mingsheng, a 19-year-old transporter from the 5th Company of the 135th Regiment, carried two boxes full of grenades and braved enemy artillery fire as he walked on the scorched road. He carried a
Although his mouth and tongue were dry, he couldn't bear to part with the apple. He wanted to keep it and give it to the soldiers in the tunnel.
After passing through the enemy's hail of bullets, he risked his life and successfully entered Tunnel No. 4. There were seven soldiers in the tunnel, the instructor and the seriously injured Company Commander Feng. After fighting in the tunnel for such a long time, the conditions in the tunnel
The situation has become increasingly difficult, especially since the water shortage situation has not improved. Some time ago, a soldier in Tunnel No. 1 risked his life to deliver half a bottle of water that was pierced by bullets. They have never drank water again.
Just like the soldiers in Tunnel No. 11, they also relied on licking the wet stone walls to survive.
Li Mingsheng didn't know who to give this apple to, so he first gave it to Company Commander Feng, who had suffered a serious gunshot wound: "Company Commander, you are seriously injured. Eat the apple first to moisten your throat."
Captain Feng's lips were chapped with bloody seams. He shook his head and said to the instructor: "Instructor, your voice is dumb. Take some to moisten your throat."
The soldiers who were stuck in Tunnel No. 4 had not had a sip of water for several days. The green apples gave off an alluring fragrance. Not to mention just one, they could eat twenty of them each at this time.
Company Commander Feng and the instructor knew that this apple was hard to come by. The logistics were transporting supplies to various tunnels in Shangganling every night, but they rarely delivered them. A box of ammunition might cost the lives of several or even dozens of people.
It was brought up after the transporter died.
The instructor asked Liu Mingsheng: "Where do apples come from?"
Liu Mingsheng replied: "This apple was buried in the soil. I saw it when I was passing by and put it in my pocket."
The instructor asked him again, "Why don't you eat it yourself?"
Liu Mingsheng replied: "There is water on the way to transport ammunition."
The instructor and Company Commander Feng both knew in their hearts that there was no water to drink on the way to transport the ammunition, but the soldier was just lying in order to let the comrades in the tunnel eat an apple. The instructor and Company Commander Feng were moved and also thought about using the apple.
For whom to eat.
At this time, walkie-talkie operator Jiang Minxin was executing the company commander's order, reporting the situation to his superiors in a hoarse voice through the only walkie-talkie in Tunnel No. 4. The instructor knew that the four walkie-talkie operators were fighting day and night,
I didn't get much rest, my voice became hoarse, and my lips were dry and cracked.
"Jiang Minxin, the four of you share it to moisten your throat." The instructor handed him the apple.
Jiang Minxin looked at the company commander and instructor, then looked back at the other three walkie-talkie talkers, and then at the injured Lan Baofa and Feng Company Commander who were sleeping inside. The four nodded understandingly and gave the apple to Lan Baofa.
"Instructor, this apple should be reserved for the wounded."
Correspondent Lan Baofa once had his right leg broken by a cannonball because of contact with the rear. He rarely moaned in the tunnel. He knew that his moans were likely to affect the soldiers in the tunnel, so no matter how painful the wound was, he
He endured it all. His face was black and yellow, and his lips were dry and purple. He was holding an apple and was about to eat it. Suddenly he stopped and said to the company commander: "Company commander, you are also injured. You haven't drank water for several days."
Now, you and the instructor can eat it. After eating it, you can better command our battle."
No matter how much everyone tried to persuade them, Lan Baofa still gave the apple to the instructor and Company Commander Feng.
So Captain Feng handed the apple to the bugler again, and the bugler immediately handed it to the health worker, who then handed the apple to the wounded Lan Baofa, who he took care of day and night, and Lan Baofa handed the apple to the ammunition that he risked his life to transport.
Liu Mingsheng. An apple was passed around in the hands of the hungry and thirsty soldiers, and finally fell into the hands of the company commander intact, never to be passed on again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The harder the time, the more comrades care about each other and show humility to each other.
Company Commander Feng and the instructor looked at each other. No one was willing to eat such an apple, so they had to share it with everyone.
"Comrades!"
The instructor said in a hoarse voice: "Last night we regained our position, annihilated the enemy, and repelled more than a dozen enemy charges. Can't we destroy even one apple? Whoever doesn't eat this apple just doesn't have the determination to hold on for twenty
After four hours, you won’t have the courage to fight to the end!”
The instructor encouraged everyone with the provocative method. In fact, at this time, the soldiers were in the most thirsty state. Not to mention one apple, the soldiers could eat ten or twenty apples.
After the instructor finished speaking, he took a bite first and handed it to Captain Feng. Captain Feng understood, took a bite and handed it to Lan Baofa next to him... They put it to their mouths and took a bite gently, and then one after another
One by one, everyone ate the apple, but when the apple turned around and returned to the instructor's hand, more than half of it was left.
"Who else hasn't eaten?"
the instructor asked.
No one answered after a long silence. The instructor was about to rebuke a few words when he suddenly felt that the surrounding air was exceptionally quiet. At this time, except for the sound of cannons outside, the tunnel was silent. Jiang Minxin, who had always been optimistic, fell silent, with tears running down his cheeks.
The tears flowed down and moistened his dry lips. With the light coming from outside the cave, you could see that every soldier was gently wiping away the tears on his face with his hands.
Captain Feng, who had always been rough and heroic, seemed to have something stuck in his throat. He felt a burst of sadness and could not restrain his emotions, and tears suddenly filled his eyes.
Since the transition to tunnel combat, each tunnel has presented varying degrees of difficulty.
Although they were bombarded by U.S. aircraft and artillery and the enemy's attack was also quite fierce, the U.S. and South Korean troops who attacked Shangganling still suffered a heavy blow from the Chinese army who relied on the tunnel positions to fight more bravely and tenaciously. In half a month, there were no losses.
The continuous attacks have caused the "United Nations Army" to pay a heavy price. The US 7th Division, known as the "Dripdrop Division", which was known to complete its mission heroically and decisively, was crippled, and the South Korean Army's elite 2nd Division also suffered
Heavy damage.
In the small counterattack organized by our army's artillery fire on the 25th, Xia Yuan, commander of the ninth company in Shangganling, led a team of soldiers to continuously regain the lost positions No. 8 and No. 2, opening up the connection between the two.
With the support of intensive artillery fire, he severely damaged an enemy battalion in position No. 8 and annihilated a reinforced enemy company in position No. 2. His military exploits were so great that he was hailed as the "Heroic Company Commander of Shangganling" and caused an uproar in the rear.
The commander of the 45th Division excitedly stood up and clasped his hands behind his back, "What a ninth company commander! What a Xia Yuan! He lives up to the name of our volunteer army and is worthy of the title of 'Legendary Recruit'! This military exploit alone is unprecedented and will be followed by others."
No one can compare to Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
The battle in Shangganling became more and more cruel, and more heroes were born. In the front, Zhao Fengshou held up the blasting tube with his chest, the battle hero Sun Platoon, and in the back there was the eye-catching Wang Yongmeng. The Ninth Company is a well-deserved heroic company in Shangganling.
This is another legendary company that is not inferior to the Eighth Company.
"If Xia Yuan can come back alive, I will definitely apply to my superiors to give him the title of a heroic company!"
This is what the commander of the 45th Division thought in his mind.
On the 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th, batch after batch of troops were sent to Shangganling to replenish the tunnel soldiers and start a tug-of-war with the enemies in Shangganling. Xia Yuan also returned to the No. 1 host.
Tunnel, leading the soldiers to continue fighting at the No. 1 Shangganling position, batch after batch of soldiers sacrificed their lives, and batch after batch of soldiers were added.
Some came from position 8, and some came from position 3. In the constant tug-of-war, the soldiers around Xia Yuan fell one after another, and followed up one after another. From the very beginning, they were still fighting.
They could be called by their names, but eventually new and old faces alternated in front of his eyes, and Xia Yuan no longer knew who they were, but they only had one name.
'Eighth company!'
Too many people died, but it did not affect the soldiers' continued enthusiasm. In the words of Captain Dai Wannian quoting Xia Yuan.
"Our sacrifice was not in vain! Because I always firmly believe that we will win this war! On the day when the battle is won, people will beat gongs and drums, and decorate with lanterns and colors to welcome us back in triumph! Our happy life will also begin!
"
"If we fail to go back alive, we may have died in North Korea, in a foreign country, and our bones will be buried underground in a foreign country forever! When the motherland becomes stronger, they will definitely take us home!"
"By that time, the motherland has become stronger and the people's lives are getting happier and happier. The buildings are getting higher and higher. The streets are getting cleaner and cleaner. The clothes people are wearing are getting better and better. The smiles on their faces are getting better and better.
, more and more. At that time, we will look at the great rivers and mountains of our motherland, the happy lives of people, and the country we have sacrificed our lives to defend."
"We sacrificed it!"
“Worth it!”
This sentence was once said by Xia Yuan to the soldiers of the Seventh Company, but now Xia Yuan said it to the soldiers of the Eighth Company, and it has been remembered by the soldiers of the Eighth Company. Every time a new batch of faces enters the tunnel, Captain Dai will
Tell them this sentence.
When they were not fighting, hearing the enemy's artillery fire on their positions, the soldiers would discuss and look forward to the future life. They called Xia Yuan to imagine what the future life would be like.
Xia Yuan said: "Everyone can have enough to eat. If you want to add meat to every meal, you can add it."
To be very simple, he cannot tell how tall the tall buildings will be in the future, how fast the four-wheeled cars will run, or how he will be able to meet the person he wants to see with a mobile phone, because that is the soldier in front of him.
Things they couldn't imagine, just like when the soldiers met an airplane for the first time, they had never seen an airplane before, didn't know what it was, let alone why an iron bastard would fly in the sky, but they knew
, this thing is so powerful that it can beat up your comrades until they can’t even find their bodies.
It's like today's humans would not imagine alien spaceships.
Using the lack of money in the future to define what Xia Yuan said to the soldiers, "Everyone can have enough to eat, and if you want to add meat to every meal, you can add it." is like using the 21st century to envision decades from now.
, 'We have more money than we can spend' is the same.
Eating is a very luxurious thing in this era, especially for people who have experienced the feudal era.
Having enough to eat is almost the same metaphor as "having endless money" in the future.
The soldiers leaned against the wall, imagining what Xia Yuan said, with longing and hope on their faces. Their eyes were unusually bright. In this era of unfailing faith, their goal is not to protect their homeland, nor is it right.
Is it to drive away the invaders so that family and friends can have enough to eat?
Xia Yuan is also looking forward to it. When the battle is over, he must go and have a good meal.
The faces of Squad Leader Hu, Deputy Squad Leader Li, Platoon Leader Sun, Company Commander Gao, Instructor Lin and others appeared in his mind. Their faces kept intertwining in front of his eyes, and then the images of those sacrificed soldiers appeared.
The tug-of-war continued, with too many soldiers carrying explosive canisters rushing towards the enemy group and dying together with the enemy, and died heroically.
