In the damp and dark tunnel, the chorus of singing echoed repeatedly in the earth and sand rushing down.
It was in this singing that the fear caused by the bombardment gradually disappeared, and calm hope appeared on the young faces one after another.
Wei Ran didn’t know how many times he sang along with that song, and he didn’t know how much time had passed. Finally, as the accompaniment of the artillery attack outside the tunnel ended, everyone stopped singing with hoarse voices. .
"Let me introduce it to you"
While Chen Qi was speaking, he had used a match to relight the oil lamp that had been extinguished by the shock, then took off the kettle from his waist and handed it to Wei Ran, "This is Comrade Wei Ran, a shooter who was transferred to us recently."
"Hello, Comrade Wei Ran." The little soldier with a broken voice who competed with Wei Ran was the first one. He saluted and then extended his hand towards Wei Ran.
Hurryly raising his hand in return of a not-so-standard salute, Wei Ran quickly shook hands with the calloused hand of the other party.
This little warrior looked to be at least four or five years younger than him. What was quite special was that not only did he have a slingshot with a wooden handle hanging around his neck, but he also had a telescope hanging on it. If the former is just a child's toy, then the latter is something special. Although it is just a telescope, it is not an equipment that everyone can have.
"He is Zhao Shengli from the reconnaissance class"
Chen Qi introduced at the side, "Although he is small and his singing is very off-key, he sounds like a mocking bird. , and he runs so fast that even the American machine guns can't catch up with him."
"Your name is really good."
Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh, once upon a time, under Stalin. During the Battle of Grad, a tank soldier commented on his Russian name in the same way.
"It was the regimental leader who gave me the name."
Zhao Shengli's face was filled with a smile from beginning to end, "I had a nickname before, and the landlord gave it to me." Yes, I asked Zhao to drive cattle. Later, our regiment leader led a large army to pass by us and punished the landlords. I no longer had to herd cattle, so I joined the army. The regiment leader said that my name was not good-sounding, so he named me It’s called Victory, and it wasn’t even liberated at that time.”
“How old are you when you joined the army?” Wei Ran asked in surprise.
Zhao Shengli proudly replied, "In 1947, I was only 15 years old at that time."
"Although Comrade Shengli is not old, he is a veteran among us. I have to call him squad leader."
Chen Qi helped introduce him and handed the rolled cigarette to a man who looked like he was forty years old. He was thin and his cheeks were thin. Some sunken veterans waited for Wei Ran and him to salute and shake hands before introducing him, "But the one with the most senior qualifications is our squad leader Sun. He is an old Red Army veteran who has gone through the Long March."
"What are you talking about?" Squad Leader Sun waved his hands nonchalantly, "I'm just a cook."
Having said this, Squad Leader Sun opened the wicker basket next to him.He took out a golden cornmeal pancake, pinched out a small lump of pickles and handed it to Wei Ran, "You must not have eaten. Drink some water first, and then eat something."
< p>"I do, I have something to eat." Wei Ran quickly patted the dry food bag hanging on his chest, "I just need a drink of water.""How come you, little comrade, are still out here? "Take it." Squad leader Sun couldn't help but force the steamed buns and pickles into Wei Ran's hands.
"Thank you, thank you," Wei Ran said with some discomfort. Compared with the fried noodles in the dry food bag, these cornmeal pancakes and pickles are really good things.
"You said thank you to me. This little comrade is as educated as Chen Qi." Squad leader Sun clicked his cigarette and teased Wei Ran cheerfully.
"I'm not a cultural person."
As Chen Qi said, he handed the second rolled cigarette to a shirtless soldier who looked to be about the same age as Wei Ran. "Comrade Lin Yuehua is a man of culture. He is the squad leader of the reconnaissance squad. Bei Han speaks very well."
"Squad Leader Lin" Wei Ran quickly took the initiative to salute.
“Don’t you know how to speak American?”
The shirtless Lin Yuehua first exposed Chen Qi, then shook Wei Ran’s hand politely, “You "Okay, Comrade Wei Ran. I heard that you can shoot accurately. Do you want to come to our reconnaissance squad?"
"I"
As soon as a word came out of Wei Ran's mouth, the shelling started. The little soldier in front of him who was responsible for delivering the message opened the sack curtain of the tunnel and said, "Squad Leader Lin, the company commander is looking for you"
"I got it"
Lin Yuehua stood up as he spoke , patted Wei Ran on the shoulder and said, "We'll talk when we get back."
Before Wei Ran could say anything else, Lin Yuehua had already emerged from the tunnel with a submachine gun and a jacket.
It was only then that Wei Ran had time to unscrew the kettle that Chen Qi had just handed him and take a sip.
Returning the kettle to the other party, Wei Ran asked curiously, "This wounded man"
"He is a machine gun expert"
Chen Qi is familiar with it. The introduction said, "During the day, his ribs were broken by a cold gun from an American. It's not serious. I just gave him an injection before you came back. Let him sleep for a while. By the way"
Chen Qi put the kettle aside, lowered his head and opened the medical box that he had never left. He took out Wei Ran's pen and handed it over, "Your pen, I have already finished writing the letter."
< p> "You can keep it for now." Wei Ran thought for a moment, then took out the camera from the metal book under the cover of the canvas bag and handed it to Chen Qi."What is this for?" Chen Qi asked confused.
"I may have to find a place to hide later. You can use this camera and help take some photos for everyone when you are not busy. I will return it with the pen when I come back. I, by the way, do you need it or not? I will teach you how to use it."
"I don't need it, but this thing"
"Take it"
Wei Ran couldn't help but push the camera to Chen Qi, "If you think it's cumbersome, just put it in the tunnel first. It doesn't matter if it breaks. I guess there will be many people who want to take a photo and send it home."< /p>
"Okay, I'll take it first." Chen Qi took the camera happily, "Shengli, I'll take a picture of you first after dawn."
"Here. What am I doing taking photos?"
The little soldier Zhao Shengli said nonchalantly, "My parents are gone long ago, and I don't even know who to send the photos to."
" Nonsense."
Chen Qi frowned and said, "Take a better-looking photo and develop it when you have time. I will send it back to my wife and ask her to make a portrait of you."
< p>Zhao Shengli blushed and retorted, "We can't have an arranged marriage. What are you doing?""What is it?"
Squad leader Sun was not serious about Zhao Shengli's There was a slap on the back of the head, "You are already a grown-up, and you really plan to beat the bachelor so that your old Zhao family will be eliminated."
"As long as we can drive away the American devils, we will be eliminated, and I am not the only one with the surname Zhao." ""
Zhao Shengli took out half a pack of Haocai brand cigarettes that he had seized from unknown sources from his pocket, took a sip from the oil lamp and lit it, "I am now I just want to beat up the American Japs, and wait until they are driven back before talking about anything else, in case I fail."
"Hu Li Li" Squad Leader Sun slapped Zhao Shengli on the back of the head again, "I'm still here. , it’s not your turn even if you’re waiting in line.”
Chen Qi also gave the little soldier a scratch on the back of his head, “That’s it, you go find some clean clothes to change into at dawn. "Come on."
"Chen Qi, find a way to wash out one more"
Monitor Sun said with a smile, "I have a niece who is about the same age as this kid. When the time comes, I will I also sent it back to my mother-in-law and asked her to ask my niece. If she really takes the photo, I asked her to take a photo with my niece and send it over."
"Just in case"
p>"What a contingency"
Squad leader Sun puffed his smoke and said, "You still have a long time to live. We can definitely drive the American devils back, and then we can carry our guns together. , cross the Yalu River with the big red flowers and go back.
My home is hundreds of miles away on the other side of the river. When the time comes, you will come home with me and I will cook pork and vermicelli for you. If you eat well, you can stay in our village and become a son-in-law who steps in."
"I don't want to be a son-in-law who steps in on the door." Zhao Shengli's dissatisfied complaint immediately made the rest of the people in the pit disappear. Several people burst into laughter.
Before the laughter stopped, Squad Leader Lin from the reconnaissance squad also returned to the tunnel, "I have a mission, Comrade Wei Ran, Comrade Shengli, come with me."
"Yes"
Zhao Shengli, whose face was red just a moment ago, immediately handed the unfinished cigarette to Squad Leader Sun, and crawled out of the tunnel with an American 1-carbine rifle.
Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately picked up the rifle at hand.The gun gave chase.
Outside the tunnel, in addition to Lin Yuehua, the squad leader of the reconnaissance squad, there were two soldiers wearing unconventional military uniforms. Even the weapons in their hands were a carbine and a rifle. Land Rifle.
In addition, there was a basket at their feet, which contained not only several American-style backpacks, but also several engineer shovels.
"The five of us have to go behind the American position to grab a tongue and come back later. We only have 24 hours in total." Squad leader Lin motioned for everyone to squat down against the trench and whispered. Task content.
"It's just the five of us this time," Zhao Shengli asked in a low voice.
"With more people, the target is too big. Five of us are enough." Squad Leader Lin looked at Wei Ran after finishing speaking, "The company commander said that you have a good way of capturing, so he specifically asked me to lead you."
The company commander also knew this
Wei Ran muttered to himself, knowing that this was probably the arrangement of the metal book, but it was exactly what he wanted, so he immediately felt confident 's nodded.
"Don't shoot unless you have no choice."
Squad Leader Lin said, raising his head and pointing to the basket next to him, "Old rule, I won't bring any dry food bags, and everyone will have extra You can’t go in vain to get two mines.”
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone took a heavy backpack from the basket and put it on their shoulders, and then each carried an engineer soldier. A shovel or a short-handled pickaxe.
Weighing the engineering shovel in his hand, Wei Ran took off the twenty-kilogram bag of dry food and handed it to Squad Leader Sun who had just emerged from the tunnel. Then he took a pack of rifle bullets, a kettle filled with water, and several seized American compressed biscuits from squad leader Lin.
Everything was ready, without saying goodbye, and without any unnecessary words, Wei Ran followed Zhao Shengli along an inconspicuous path in the night, avoiding American searchlights and flares, quietly Left the position.
In the faint sound of rustling, the five people, led by Squad Leader Lin, walked farther and farther, and finally got into a forest that was not dense. Then they changed direction and almost trotted. Rushed to the rear of the US military position.
Wei Ran, who was following the team, secretly took out the compass in the metal book and looked at the direction. Then he turned over and glanced at the watch fixed on the compass. At this time, it was already It was around four o'clock in the morning, and there was only more than an hour left before dawn.
In other words, they would either have to return to their position with the captured tongue within an hour, or they would have to wait until it gets dark again before they can go back.
Obviously, after the recent exchange of fire, now is the stage when both sides are most vigilant. At this time, it is definitely unrealistic to go to the American front line to grab tongues. Their only option is to go around to the US military position. Great rear.
This also indicates that they will probably have to lurk behind the Americans for more than ten hours before they can go back with the captured tongue.
Put yourselfThe speculation was pressing in his heart, and Wei Ran quickened his pace to catch up with Zhao Shengli, who had already pulled some distance away.
