Chapter 25 Ice Wall

Another pile of gravel fell down, and I couldn't help but sit down dejectedly. There was too much gravel on the high ground and it was not sticky. It was digging and it was bleeding when it was dug for a long time. The trench was still like a pot. I looked at my comrades around and the situation was similar. I couldn't help but sigh and leaned against the trench and lay down. It took so much effort and so much time to build fortifications in this place. It would be better to save some time to sleep!

"Platform Leader Cui, why don't you dig?" the old squad leader next to him asked in confusion.

"Old squad leader!" I said with a wry smile: "Do you think it's useful to dig like this? We dug for a long time, and the American man's heavy artillery was blown up, but nothing was gone?"

"That's what it means," the old squad leader said helplessly: "But this fortification still needs to be done. Otherwise, we can't stand the machine gun when the reactionary faction comes up, let alone the heavy artillery, and we can't stand the machine gun!"

"Boy, I have a way!" Hu Zi, who was a few steps away, buried his head in digging the soil and said to himself: "This ground is open, the Americans' heavy artillery will blow up a big pit. Then we will check it out. When the shells explode, we will run into the crater. What a good ready-made fortification!"

"Tiger!" The comrade who heard him beside him smiled and said, "Don't let the American bombs strip your tiger skin!"

"Hey! What are you talking about? You can blow up my tiger bomb but haven't built it yet!"

The soldiers were talking and laughing, while seemingly digging fortifications casually. Although they were happy on their faces, they saw that the blood on their hands was dripping on the gravel and forming pieces of "blood ice".

Yes! When I saw the blood ice, I suddenly remembered a story I had heard before. I forgot what I said. It seemed that Cao Cao and Ma Chao were fighting. Because they could not build the city without materials to build the city, they were repeatedly attacked by Ma Chao. Later, someone told him to transport soil and splash water while building an ice city overnight. So...

"Cooking class? Where is the kitchen class?" Thinking of this, I jumped up suddenly, which scared the old squad leader beside me.

"It's at the back!" The old squad leader pointed a direction behind him.

He didn't understand what I was looking for in the kitchen class at this time, and I ran away without explaining much.

While running, I was thinking, God blessed, this kitchen must carry a scoop, basin, bucket, etc., otherwise even if there is this method, there will be no way to use it. Although the soldiers all have kettles on their bodies, the mouth of the kettle is too small. When the Datong River is filled with water and runs here, they will probably be frozen.

It was getting dark, and the Americans didn't dare to attack but only fired firecrackers from a distance. They couldn't help but run away at dawn!

"Cooking class, cooking class!" I didn't care about looking at me with a pair of puzzled eyes, and shouted while running.

There are very few people looking for kitchen teams these days, because volunteer soldiers dare not make fires and cook during the day or night, and are afraid of light and smoke at night. These will expose the target and cause bombing of US aircraft and artillery fire. Therefore, most of the volunteers bring dry food that they don’t need to be cooked, and the kitchen team is really notorious.

"What are you looking for a kitchen team?" Unexpectedly, Company Commander Zhang was also digging trenches here. Seeing me screaming all the way, he couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Do you want the kitchen team to get you a few dumplings or something?"

Company Commander Zhang's words made the soldiers around him amused, and he could even hear a few swallowing sounds.

"How can it be? Company Commander!" I smiled embarrassedly and said, "I just want to borrow a few buckets, basins, etc...."

"No!" A short and fat volunteer soldier stood up and replied: "I am the squad leader of the kitchen squad. It's useless to bring any buckets and basins. I'm useless. I've long lost it."

"Where is the puff?"

"Not either!"

I couldn't help feeling disappointed. Time was tight, so where can I go to find something to fill water. It's easy to pack other places, and it's done with leaves and other things, but this is in North Korea where it's more than 20 degrees below zero. If I use such a small container, I'm afraid it'll become ice before I can get here.

Just when I was worried, the volunteer soldier thought about it and continued, "There are two pots. I thought that our army still has some rice, so I didn't dare to throw it away..."

"It's good to have a pot, it's good to have a pot!" I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I heard this.

"Huzi, Huzi!" I carried two pots and called Huzi and rushed to the river.

"What's wrong?" Hu Zi took the pot I handed him, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. But after touching his head, he quickly continued, "You kid are weird. Although I don't know what you do, I seem to be able to take advantage of every time."

After saying that, he didn't ask any more questions, just followed me with the pot.

But in two minutes, I ran to the riverside. I walked into a deeper place on the stone and thin ice, scooped up most of the pot of water and walked back carefully.

These may seem to be very ordinary in our eyes, but for us at this moment, we are risking our lives. If we fall into the river without changing the cotton coat, it means that we will soon turn into two pieces of frozen meat.

I tried to keep the pot as stable as possible along the way, and then ran back as quickly as possible. I saw a layer of thin ice slowly forming on the surface of the water in the pot. I felt a coldness in my hands, crawling up straight up my arms, which made me shivering involuntarily.

As soon as I ran to the trench, I couldn't wait to pour the water into the trench. I heard a creaking sound. The water slowly seeped into the gravel and soil, and then it soon formed ice...

At this time, Hu Zi also ran up with the pot, and then poured the water down as I was. Now some shiny ice cubes could be seen in the trenches.

After a while, Hu Zi broke the stones with his hands...

"Hey, you're so amazing!" Hu Zi increased his strength but couldn't move the gravel that would have fallen down by himself. He couldn't help but look up in surprise and said, "You can think of this method, you really have nothing to say!"

"What? You're so scary!" The old squad leader looked at him sincerely, and came over to make arbitrary bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
