Chapter 67 Sandeng Railway Station

Chapter 67: Three boarding train station

Jin Xuanlei may also know that it would be too difficult to keep me at this moment, so he put this aside for the time being. So he pretended to be polite to me, and then told Li Shaoyang and the adjutant for a while. After that, he said that he was busy with military affairs and shook hands and said goodbye.

After seeing off Jin Xuanlei and others, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I really couldn't stand this kind of official promise. After Jin Xuanlei's past for more than half an hour, he was even more tired than fighting a battle!

But who can I blame this? I didn’t call this plague god myself.

In fact, it was not only me who breathed a sigh of relief, but also Major Li and Adjutant who were waiting carefully. When Jin Xuanlei and his group of jeeps were driving away, they always saluted straight in the direction they left. Until the jeep disappeared, the two of them felt weak all over.

After a while, Major Li looked at me gratefully and said, "Captain Cui! Thank you for saying good things to us in front of Lieutenant General Jin!"

"Yes, Captain Cui!" The adjutant who once spoke a little disrespectfully in front of me held my hand even more gratefully: "Captain Cui is so good. You must have something to use for me in the future. Please tell me, An Zongcheng, I will definitely die!"

"I don't have to be so polite!" I no longer had the intention to speak with them in an official voice. I responded casually, and then returned to the warehouse to join the "Wine Pool and Meat Forest" with the soldiers.

The food was not much, so the soldiers quickly divided it up, but fortunately there was a lot of wine. The soldiers hadn't drunk so much that they had such a sense of ease for a long time, so they all let go of their stomachs and drank a few drunken soldiers ran outside the warehouse and vomited loudly, while spitting their mouths, "Fuck, it's all in vain! Wow..." The other soldiers laughed loudly.

After three rounds of wine, it was completely dark. Major Li and his adjutant carefully brought us a set of straw mats and quilts, and asked the soldiers of the People's Army to light the number of our regiment to help us lay on the ground.

Looking at the quilts of the same size and a gray cloth quilt, I knew that these should be the quilts of the People's Army soldiers. I knew that Major Li and the Adjutant must have asked their subordinates to take the quilts to sleep. It was a cheaper one, but their subordinates would have a sleepless night tonight.

I was a little sad, but thinking about it, aren’t we fighting here and fighting for war? What is this cheapness? So I didn’t care about that much and just sat down on the bed and covered my head and fell asleep while drinking.

I slept so comfortably that night that when I was woken up by Xu Yongwei the next morning, I had the illusion that I had just lying down. I took out my pocket watch and found out that it was already four:30 in the morning!

Major Li explained from the side: "Captain Cui, I didn't dare to disturb you at rest, but here is still a long way from the train station, so we should get on the road, otherwise we won't be able to catch the train."

"Um!" I nodded, shook my head, which was a little painful due to the stimulation of alcohol, and then ordered the soldiers to get up loudly.

The soldiers are really not lazy. They are worthy of being veterans who have been fighting for many years. Although they all drank a lot last night, they immediately jumped out of the bed like a conditioned reflex when they heard the order. After quickly organizing the equipment, they lined up neatly outside the warehouse in just a few minutes.

It would be nothing to say that it would be better to prepare at this speed, but last night they saw that we were all drunk, but now they were like people who were fine. Only Major Li and Adjutant were stunned.

After I got on the jeep, the troops marched under the leadership of Major Li and the People's Army.

Originally, I thought the train station must be in Pyongyang or somewhere near it, but I soon found that I was wrong, because before a few minutes had passed, the troops turned into a hidden mountain road. The reason why it was hidden was that there was no road at first glance. Only after Major Li and others moved away a few small trees for disguise on it, we realized that there was a different world.

The width of this mountain road is only for one car to pass by, so I was wondering how to solve this problem if there is a car coming across the street! After asking Major Li, I realized that the entrance and exit of the train station are different. The purpose of this is to prevent the road from being discovered by the enemy plane because it is too wide, and to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy plane due to traffic and too many people.

The wisdom of the masses is infinite. Today I deeply understand how correct this sentence is.

Turn left and right along the mountain road, and after engaging with several mountain roads, the number of volunteer soldiers gradually increased, including combat troops, medical teams and stretchers. The stretchers carried by migrant workers on the stretchers were filled with some soldiers with hands and legs, and cars were filled with wounded and sick. They thought they were all soldiers gathered from all directions to rush back to China by train.

Seeing the migrant workers and medical workers carrying the stretcher panting, the soldiers spontaneously helped them carry the stretcher on their bodies, and of course they were grateful again. Part of the fellow villagers in the stretcher team was requisitioned from the Korean people, and some were laborers transferred from the country. So the soldiers were excited to chat with these fellow villagers while walking, and the march became interesting.

More than half an hour passed by, and the troops arrived in front of a tall and large mountain. What surprised me was that there were no trains or railways here, only a dozen tunnels and soldiers lined up to enter the tunnel. Around them were fully armed People's Army soldiers, and you could vaguely see anti-aircraft cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns prepared for combat in the forest.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but look at Major Li with confusion.

Major Li couldn't help but smile and said, "Captain Cui, we're here! This is Sandeng Railway Station!"

"Sandeng Railway Station?" I was stunned when I heard this. It seemed that I had heard the place name "Sandeng", but I couldn't remember where I had heard it.

"Yes!" Major Li nodded and smiled with a hint of smugness: "I have arranged everything. The major of the People's Army stationed here has had a friendship with me. I called him last night and arranged an entrance for you specifically. Commander Cui will come with me!"

As he said that, he took us to the other direction. Looking at the guards in front of the tunnel, I knew that this was a special tunnel for emergency entrances for officials or for urgent use of important materials. Unexpectedly, Major Li had some skills, so he actually gave us such special treatment.

Seeing that the wounded and sick in other tunnels were still queuing pitifully, I felt a little uncomfortable. But after thinking about it, I felt that if we didn’t accept Major Li’s “good intention”, we would have to go back and squeeze with them. Wouldn’t that be even more disgusted? So I felt calm.

After entering the tunnel, I discovered the secret of the railway station. Because the empty and dim lights at the other end of the tunnel told me that the entire "Sandeng Railway Station" was built in the mountains. And these tunnels were just the entrances to the railway station.

After waiting for the People's Army soldiers at the entrance to check the customs clearance documents, our group got out of the tunnel and came to the railway station.

Then the soldiers couldn't help but say "Wow", and they all looked at the station that could hold three or four trains in a daze. The reason why we were so surprised was that this train station was actually a large tunnel dug by hand.

Now we are in this big tunnel, which is seven or eight meters high and fifty meters wide, and is three or four hundred meters long. Three railway tracks are neatly arranged. At this time, two trains are parked on one side. One of them seems to have just arrived at the station. The locomotive is still squeaking out with white steam, covering all the people busy carrying materials around them.

As a train station, this tunnel may not be big. Of course, that is relative to me. Although I am a relatively "home" person in modern times, I have at least taken the subway and seen a larger train station dug out by hand. But when I saw the "subway" in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh at the project of this train station.

Because I know that in this era, with the backwardness of China and North Korea's industries, we can't find modern tools such as excavators or bulldozers, so when I look at the big tunnel in front of me, I can't imagine how much manpower and material resources it took to build.

No wonder Major Li and others were so careful. Not to mention how many qualities there are in the near future, even this railway station itself is a lot of wealth. If the enemy discovers the secret and sends agents to infiltrate the railway station, then I don’t know how much losses it will suffer!

Wait! The train station was bombed...

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered the information I had read in modern times. I vaguely remember one of them was the news about the bombing of the railway station. The reason why I still remember this news was that this time it was bombed, which was called the most painful page in the history of the Volunteer Army's logistics. The Volunteer Army was stationed near the station and did not hurry to transport away and hide materials, and in the end only 6 cars were rescued. The loss of raw, cooked rations, soybean oil, and military uniforms were all counted in millions of kilograms and hundreds of thousands of pieces, and there were also a large amount of other military materials.

The place that was bombed seemed to be... called Sandeng.
