Sun Lei, a special forces soldier who had just retired for less than a week in 2017, woke up and traveled without warning to the late autumn of 1950 when the Korean War broke out 67 years ago.

However, at this time, the northeastern region of my country had already entered a cold winter. The entire Korean Peninsula, which was across the Yalu River, was also icy and snowy, with biting cold winds and snowy weather.

Since the military operation tonight was top secret, their third company, as the Sharp Knife Company of the entire regiment, was the first unit to cross the Yalu River Bridge and secretly enter North Korea to fight.

Along the way, all the officers and soldiers of the Third Company were in the dark night, without a torch and the flashlight could not be turned on. They went along the way, and they headed in the dark.

Walking between the ice and snow, we advanced for about three hours, we arrived at the Yalu River Bridge at 1:00 a.m. and quickly passed through, entering the mountainous areas in northern North Korea.

According to the order issued by the regiment headquarters, the third company was required to arrive at the Yunshan area at the latest at 12 o'clock at noon on October 22, and wait for the next combat mission and instructions.

When it was dawn on the second day, the soldiers of the Third Company walked along the way, walking on the ice and snow without even resting for a second, because they received an emergency meeting of combat missions last night before going to bed.

Therefore, the soldiers at this time were sleepy, tired and hungry. They were all full of fighting spirits before, but now they have become listless, just like frost-beating eggplant, and are wilted.

After discovering this situation, the company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Li Wenju took out the battle map they carried with them and studied it with the light of Dongsheng's rising sun.

In the end, the two of them decided to find a place to rest on the spot for the time being, and then let the cooking squad cook a pot of hot millet porridge to warm the bodies of the entire company's officers and soldiers.

Just at this moment, Zhao Yifa took out his dilapidated telescope and observed the terrain everywhere. He saw an abandoned house on the roadside not far ahead. He quickly sent two veterans to find out if there were still people living inside.

Soon, the two veterans reported that the abandoned house not far ahead not only had no shadow of a person, but also had nothing in the house, and it was empty.

After listening to the report, the company commander Zhao Yifa immediately made a decision. All the soldiers of the company ran forward and rested in the abandoned empty house not far ahead. They made up for the sleep they had last night and headed towards the Yunshan area.

As a new recruit, Sun Lei, who was a new recruit, just shook his head. He wanted to stop it. After a while of speaking, he swallowed the words he had to say back to his stomach.

Because he knew in his heart that before the troops set off last night, he did not arrive at the training ground in the camp in time and threatened to report Zhao Yifa's lawsuit to his superiors, which probably left an extremely bad impression on Zhao Yifa's mind.

If at this time, he, a new recruit who had just joined the Third Company for two months, raised objections to the decision made by Zhao Yifa, the company commander, in front of all the officers and soldiers of the company.

At that time, it is estimated that company commander Zhao Yifa will not only not adopt his opinions and suggestions, but his already bad impression may be even worse.

Moreover, other officers and soldiers in the company would mistakenly think that he was showing off and deliberately opposed the wise and decisive company commander Zhao Yifa, and was eventually rejected and opposed by all the officers and soldiers of the company.

After thinking about it for a long time, it was not until Sun Lei followed all the officers and soldiers of the Third Company to enter the abandoned and dilapidated house on the side of the road. He was a little hesitant just now, and then he had decided to wait and make plans.

"Comrades, we have been traveling all the way in the dark at night. Let's take a rest in these broken houses. Let's get a fire here and warm it up.

"In addition, I have ordered the comrades in the cooking squad to bury the pot outside the house to cook, cook a large pot of millet porridge, let's have a good meal, and then sleep well for a few hours, and we will continue to move forward as planned."

The company commander Zhao Yifa, who walked into these broken houses, said to the soldiers who were squatting on the ground and curled up. He was so energetic that he looked like a flying look.

As expected, not long after the company commander Zhao Yifa finished saying this, two soldiers from the kitchen team picked up a pile of dry branches from the forest not far away. In a moment, a fire was set in these broken houses.

Just now, the temperature inside these broken houses was almost the same as that outside at minus ten degrees Celsius. The soldiers squatting on the ground were still trembling. Not long after the fire was born, the whole house immediately became warm.

At this time, Sun Lei, who was curled up in a corner, felt that it was too dangerous for them to do so. It was very likely that the smoke from the fire would be exposed at any time.

You should know that at that time, a small number of US and South Korean ground troops had already arrived on the banks of the Yalu River. It can be said that they took advantage of the night to cross the Yalu River and entered the Korean Peninsula, pushing forward in depth to more than 100 miles of hinterland.

It is already a blessing to not encounter the US or South Korean troops along the way, and they will continue to secretly march towards the Yunshan area without the enemy knowing it.

But it is already early in the morning, and it is considered that it is the daytime. The blue smoke that is rising from the fire is likely to be discovered by the nearby US or South Korean ground forces. An encounter is inevitable.

Furthermore, the entire sky is controlled by US military aircraft, and the US military will definitely send planes to investigate continuously during the day. Once these broken houses were locked, the smoke suddenly appeared from fire inside would definitely attract their attention.

After the US plane approached and observed, it was found that the one inside the broken house was not their US troops or South Korean soldiers from their friendly forces, but a small group of soldiers wearing military uniforms that were almost the same as the Korean People's Army. The pilots flying fighter planes would definitely throw a few bombs without hesitation to destroy these broken houses.

What made Sun Lei feel even more serious was that the soldiers in the kitchen made fires outside the house to cook, which increased the chance of exposure. Whether it was the US or the South Korean army's ground troops, or the US military aircraft flying in the air, as long as you approach and observe, you will know that it is an enemy or a friend at first sight.

Although his eyes were red and swollen, Sun Lei was not sleepy at all. Before Zhao Yifa left the room with a smile, he felt that he could not sit still, so he immediately stood up and decided to report his concerns to company commander Zhao Yifa.

But before he could speak, he was squatted aside and stared at his every move. The squad leader Niu Tiezhu, who had stood up before, stretched out his big hands and placed them on his shoulders, and pressed them down.

"Sun Lei, you recruit, I have been paying attention to you for a long time. Seeing that you have been looking around since you came in, looking sneaky. Could it be that you can't bear the hardship of marching and fighting, and want to escape.

"Don't blame me, the squad leader, for not reminding you, our third company is the sharp knife company of the entire regiment. We will be executed by the soldiers who escaped in the battle. You kid stay where you are honest and don't think about going anywhere."
