Cold...extremely cold, I felt my body stiff from the cold. However, no one moved for a moment, even if he closed his eyes and slept for a while...

Because, the leader said, don't close your eyes, because if you close your eyes, you will never open it again...

This is a field of crops five kilometers north of Cixian County and only one kilometer away from Guanglu Fortress.

The soldiers of the Second Guard Company were the soldiers who were going to ambush the Japanese squadron of the Guanglu stronghold. They were only more than 300 meters away from the highway from the Guanglu stronghold to Cixian.

No matter how close you are, the Japanese may find the footprints behind them.

They have been lying in the snow for more than ten hours...

Although they were wearing thick cotton coats, straw mats under them, and even cotton hats in their steel helmets, they were blowing the cold wind in the snow at minus ten degrees below zero...

It is different from the First Battalion and the Militia, because the First Battalion has trenches to block the wind and dog skin mattresses to insulate the heat. Even before learning that the Ci County Security Brigade had left the county town, they could hide in the leeward place behind the mountain to roast a fire.

Now, the soldiers of the Second Guard Company should envy the brothers of the First Battalion. Even if they were one day later than the First Battalion.

Because the cold wind blows in an unobstructed night, it feels so delicious that ordinary people can't bear.

Of course, no matter how cold they are, at most people will be frostbite, but they will not be frozen to death. After all, their clothes are thick enough, and they still have two kettles filled with hot water in their arms, and the kettle is filled with chili water...

In addition, combat rations with ginseng powder content were specially increased, which also ensured that they had sufficient tolerance.

In fact, there is no need for the Second Guard Company to come over for a long time to lurk and ambush. It only takes the Japanese to come out of the stronghold and then come over.

But how to say it? Anyway, Hu Yizhou trained the Second Guard Company and achieved the best action effect.

"Boom boom boom..." The shelling at Cixian Railway Station began, and the soldiers of the Second Guard Company knew that their battle was coming.

"Hiss... It's so cold!" A row of leaders Hu Zhao took out his hands hidden in his crotch and brought the tactical gloves he had been hiding in his arms.

At the same time, he moved his legs slightly, feeling that he could control them, so he didn't care.

I touched the kettle that was also hidden in my arms and found that it was still a little warm. I quickly unscrewed the lid carefully and poured a big mouthful of chili water.

"Hiss..." He didn't eat much spicy food and only felt his tongue so hot, his throat also hurt, and there seemed to be a fire in his stomach.

"Luckily, I also poured a pot of boiled water!" Hu Zhao secretly pulled another pot out of his stomach with smugness.

He opened his grain pocket and found a hard marching ration called compressed biscuits and stuffed it into his mouth. Hu Zhao quickly poured a large mouthful of boiled water in.

Well, the compressed biscuits are an upgraded version of Jiuzhai’s combat rations. They were originally like fried noodles, but now they are made in the compressed biscuit style.

The tongue stimulated by the peppers could no longer feel the special taste of compressed biscuits at this moment. Hu Zhao just mechanically bit the biscuits and swallowed them little by little.

As a veteran, Hu Zhao knew how important it was to replenish such a little energy for himself before the battle.

Like Hu Zhao, the soldiers in a row of soldiers saw their platoon leader eating, so they tacitly took out a small piece of compressed biscuit and ate it into their stomachs.

So... the entire Second Guard Company began the pre-war meal...

A small piece of compressed biscuit was finished quickly. Hu Zhao took out his AKM, took off the magazine and looked at it, and then checked the bolt. He felt that there was no problem, so he turned on the insurance, loaded the bullets, and prepared to wait for the battle to come.

In theory, the platoon leader's equipment only requires a pistol, and there is no need to follow him to fight. However, none of the platoon leaders of the security regiment have this awareness, and they all prepare a spear and full of bullets for themselves.

Well, Hu Yizhou is actually like this...

When they saw Hu Zhao checking guns, the soldiers in the row of soldiers following Hu Zhao also checked guns and loaded bullets.

Assault infantry checked the assault rifle, accurate shooters checked the semi-automatic rifle, and the light machine gunner repeatedly confirmed that their Hu's light machine gun was in a state that could be activated at any time.

Even Hu Zhao's behavior began to "contagious" the entire company, and all the soldiers were checking the guns. Even the machine gunners of the general heavy machine guns in the rear opened the ammunition chain box, pulled out a string of ammunition chains, and skillfully pulled the ammunition and loaded them, preparing for battle.

"Prepare for the battle, mortars are on the head, grenade launchers are on the tail!" At this moment, Sun Dali, the company commander of the Second Guard Company, issued an order.

"Yes!" The correspondent of the Second Guard Company passed the order.

"Remove the camouflage and prepare for battle!" The artillery soldiers hiding at the farthest also began to remove the camouflage cloth from the mortars and began to prepare shells to prepare for firing.

With these series of movements of the soldiers, their stiff bodies became more agile due to the cold, and they felt less cold.

After the infantry checked the guns and ammunition, the artillery was ready to fire, and there was no movement in the second company of the guards, and even the breathing of the soldiers was hidden in the wind.

In the Guanglu stronghold, the Japanese seemed to have heard of some when they launched shellings in Cixian, but they just couldn't hear them very clearly.

Then, the correspondents in the stronghold received a telegram for help from the train station, saying that a division of Chinese troops surrounded Cixian and were bombing the railway station.

The captain of the Kochi Squadron in charge of guarding the Guanglu stronghold did not believe in the content of the rescue telegram. The force of a division? Is it possible?

However, since I received a telegram for help, let's take a look. Although it was so cold that I didn't want to go out, if I didn't go to rescue, it would be too much for him to bear it.

It was at this time that he received an order from the captain of his own regiment in Handan City to bring most of his troops to reinforce Cixian.

There is nothing to say about this. He lit up two and a half squadrons and left the squadron headquarters and a small squadron. Captain Xiaochi took more than 130 Japanese soldiers onto the truck and drove towards Cixian.

The Japanese drove a total of 8 cars, and the distance between the convoys was not far away. On the snowy road, the trucks were not fast, but they quickly approached the ambush area of ​​the Second Company.

"I actually came in a car? Tell them, mortar grenade launchers and bazooka fired me together, don't care about those cars!" Sun Dali gave another order.

"Yes!" The communication soldier went to convey the orders from human-to-human transmission again...
Chapter completed!
