Although Niu Tiezhu has been the squad leader of the three company rows and squads known as the "sharp knife squad", he has been very loud when he was a child, and he has not changed until now.

As soon as he finished speaking, sitting in these tiled houses, all the officers and soldiers of the third company heard it and looked in the direction where he and Sun Lei were.

The company commander Zhao Yifa, who had not stepped out of the door, heard a squad leader Niu Tiezhu say at the top of his voice that the new recruit named Sun Lei, who had previously formed a bond with him, immediately attracted his attention.

As the company commander, this is a damn great thing. He just crossed the Yalu River and entered the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, and the battle has not started yet. If a deserter appeared in the third company of the "Sharp Knife Company" of the entire regiment.

Not only will it ruin the good reputation of the "Sharp Knife Company" of their third company, I'm afraid that the company commander will also receive severe punishment. It is difficult to continue leading troops to fight, so naturally, we have to ask clearly.

Zhao Yifa, who realized the seriousness of the problem, turned around and walked to Niu Tiezhu and Sun Lei. He glared at them first.

Then he spoke sternly and ordered: "Niu Tiezhu, Sun Lei, you both have them. Follow my order and make a decision."

With Zhao Yi's order, Niu Tiezhu and Sun Lei, who were squatting on the ground, quickly stood up and made a standing military posture.

Zhao Yifa, who put his hands behind his back, faced Niu Tiezhu and asked in a stern manner: "Zhuzi, you just said that this new recruit next to him wants to escape and become a deserter, right?"

Niu Tiezhu did not dare to neglect and immediately replied: "Report to the company commander, I did say it just now."

Sun Lei, who was standing aside, felt that the war was about to be a deserter, and that would be shot. This was not a joke. He quickly took over the conversation and denied it, "I didn't want to be a deserter. Squad Leader Niu is accusing me. Please check it out with the company commander."

After glanced at Sun Lei sideways, Zhao Yifa scolded him and said, "You new recruit, did I let you speak? Do you understand the rules in the army? If you want to speak, report first."

After teaching Sun Lei a lesson, Zhao Yifa turned his gaze to Niu Tiezhu standing opposite him and continued to ask: "Zhuzi, you said that the new recruit under your command wants to be a deserter. Let's talk about how you made this judgment and whether there is any evidence."

Suddenly, when Zhao Yifa asked this, Niu Tiezhu, who insisted that Sun Lei wanted to be a deserter, was speechless for a while when asked and could not find a reason to answer.

After scratching the back of his head, Niu Tiezhu stammered and replied honestly: "Report to the company commander, I, I have always been staring at this kid along the way. Yes, I have seen his every move.

"I, I found that when you were talking, Sun Lei, not only did he not listen carefully, but also sighed a few times. This is not counting. When you are about to walk out of the room, this boy has to stand up and be sure to leave.

"I reacted quickly enough and held the boy in place. No, otherwise, if this boy walked out of this house, he might have escaped in the face of battle and ran away as a deserter."

After hearing this, Zhao Yifa, who was tense all over his body, breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the new recruit named Sun Lei, who had been dealt with by himself, wanted to escape in the last battle. It turned out that all this was just the subjective conjecture and speculation of Niu Tiezhu.

Without real evidence, it is naturally impossible to determine that Sun Lei wants to be a deserter. The big hat of deserter cannot be casually placed on others. Zhao Yifa, as the company commander, naturally understood this truth.

So, Zhao Yifa looked at Sun Lei, who was standing in an attentive position with curious eyes, and asked: "You new recruit, I'll ask you, why did you shake your head and sigh when I was speaking just now? Is there anything wrong with my speech just now?

"Besides, when I was about to walk out of this house, why did you stand up and look around? What's your intention? I'll give me a honest answer, otherwise I can still deal with you."

For Sun Lei at this time, he had to tell the truth at this point, otherwise, the company commander Zhao Yifa would definitely not spare him easily.

Thinking of this, Sun Lei finally told the thoughts he had just in his heart: "Report to the company commander, I think there is something wrong with your speech just now. Just now, the reason why I wanted to stand up was to report this to the company commander alone."

As soon as Sun Lei finished speaking, all the officers and soldiers of the company who were staying in this house were immediately furious. They all thought that Sun Lei was really bold and reckless, and they dared to say that their wise and decisive company commander had something wrong. It was really ridiculous and ridiculous.

In the eyes of most of the old soldiers of the company that followed Zhao Yifa during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, Zhao Yifa never missed what he said and what he did. Sun Lei, the new recruit, was deliberately opposing the company commander.

Of course, this also includes company commander Zhao Yifa himself, because he doesn't even know where his speech just now was wrong.

He was stunned for a moment, and then Zhao Yifa said to Sun Lei in anger, "Okay, if you say something wrong about what I just said, then don't hide it. In front of our entire company officers and soldiers, I will point it out to me. I want to see what I am wrong."

Originally, Sun Leishi wanted to report this matter to Zhao Yifa alone in private, but now he saw Zhao Yifa coming to ask him in front of all the officers and soldiers of the company, saying that he had no way out at all, and he had to answer directly.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Sun Lei strengthened his courage and said with confidence: "Company Commander, you just said that you would let all the officers and soldiers of the company enter these abandoned and broken houses to rest. I have no objection to this.

"However, you ask the soldiers to make fires in the room to keep warm, and the soldiers in the kitchen team to make fires outside the house to cook. These two things are very inappropriate. Because it is early morning, the smoke from the burning branches can easily reveal our location.

"Once there are ground troops from the United States or South Korea, or US fighter jets that are surveillance in the air, they find that there is blue smoke coming out of the houses we are in. Moreover, the comrades in the kitchen will be more likely to be exposed when making fires outside, which is very dangerous."

After hearing Sun Lei's kind reminder, the company commander Zhao Yifa ignored him and refuted disapprovingly: "It's too alarmist to say these words to you, a kid.

"I have fought against the Japanese and the National Army. We marched and fought in wars, slept in the open, and cooked in the wild. We found some broken houses that were not living in. We went in to rest and made fires to keep warm. We had never been discovered by the Japanese or the National Army.

"Here, in the name of the company commander, I would like to remind you boy, don't think the enemy is so powerful. The great man said that all enemies are paper tigers. Whether it is the foreign devils of the American Empire or the puppet army of South Korea, it is impossible to discover us."

After the company commander Zhao Yifa finished speaking, the officers and soldiers of the third company standing aside and watching immediately echoed and nodded, saying that they were all pointing fingers at Sun Lei and sarcastically laughing at him.

Just as the soldiers in the room were talking and laughing at Sun Lei, less than half a minute later, a "buzzing" roar of planes came from afar. From far to near, the sound became louder and louder, clear and clearer.
