The most tormenting thing is waiting, especially when waiting for the boss to appear.

During this whole day, all of us stayed in this secret tunnel without leaving. The entrance of the tunnel was never opened, because neither one went out nor one came in.

I have to admit that the construction level of this tunnel is still very good, because I don’t feel bored at all when I stay here. It is obvious that this tunnel has a good ventilation system. So I guess, this tunnel should be from the hands of professional craftsmen in China. The volunteer army always carries many migrant workers, including those who transport ammunition, carry stretchers, etc., among which there are also skilled craftsmen who build bridges and roads, so it is not difficult to build such a tunnel.

Isn't this? The logs on the four walls of the tunnel are very flat, especially the top of the tunnel is neatly laid with several layers of logs as thick as calves. When I looked carefully, I found that there was more than one layer... Below is a horizontal layer, above is a vertical layer, and upwards is a few meters thick hard soil. The solidity is nothing to say. The tunnels we built during the war are a bit like the tunnels that children dug when playing every home!

But... I was a little strange then! Although I didn't know where this place was (Captain Zhao didn't tell me where this is from beginning to end), I think this place should be far away from the front line! The boss will set out from here, and it wouldn't be very close to the front line. Otherwise, why do we need to protect us? Kaicheng is near the 38th line, and when it comes to the front line, it's almost time to Kaicheng...

Since we are far away from the front line, why do we still have to build the tunnel so strong? This way, it is probably enough to prevent aviation bombs.

Then I quickly thought that this might be built based on the standards of preventing aviation bombs. The boss wants to pass by here, right? And he may also make a short stay here, and no one dares to be careless, especially when the puppet army is anxious to jump over the wall.

The day passed quickly. The soldiers didn't sleep well last night, and the next day they were still nervous. In order to keep them full of energy and physical strength, I had to order them to sleep again. However, the order is an order, and whether they can sleep is another matter. For example, I was also lying in bed and unable to fall asleep. In the end, it was really impossible. Not sleeping may affect the actions at night, so I forced myself to play the childish trick of counting sheep, and then I fell asleep for a while.

Before dark, I took the soldiers to do some necessary warm-up exercises, and finally checked the equipment and prepared for battle, and then sat in two rows in the cabin.

As time passed by minute by minute, Company Commander Zhao and others used radio to rush to dispatch vehicles and troops and receive the latest information about the boss. But we only seemed to have nothing to do and stayed in the hut in a daze, so Liu Yangxing, who was full of words, couldn't help but break the silence: "Hey! Comrades, what do you think the boss looks like?"

"Who knows? We haven't seen it before!"

"Ask the leader!" Hu Zudi replied: "The leader has seen him!"

"Really?" the soldiers asked skeptically.

"Then there is still a falsehood!" Hu Zudi replied angrily: "Our regiment commander was the boss's guard before!"

Brother Hu Zu is my old subordinate, and of course he also knows what happened to me in the past.

"Wow..." The soldiers all cast envious eyes at me, even Lin Xue and Jin Qiulian were no exception. Some soldiers leaned against me and asked, "Captain, why have you never told us?"

"Yes! No wonder the regiment commander is so powerful. It turns out that he is the boss's guard!"

"The regiment commander, what contributions have you made when you were the chief guard? Tell us, you have nothing to do now!"

...

I could only smile bitterly when I listened to the soldiers. I used to be the boss’s guard, and even I heard from others. As for what I had done before and what contributions I made, I really had no impression of it!

"Captain Cui!" At this time, Company Commander Zhao hurriedly signaled to me and said, "The boss is coming soon, be prepared!"

"Be prepared!" I immediately conveyed the order.

"Yes!" the soldiers responded and immediately divided into two rows and stood in front of the exit of the tunnel.

A roar of motors came faintly outside the tunnel, and then when the lid was lifted, a flashlight was scratched twice outside. This was a signal that Company Commander Zhao had agreed with other troops in advance. Without saying a word, the soldiers carried weapons and followed the other to get out of the tunnel.

There were more than a dozen jeeps parked outside the tunnel, and rows of volunteer soldiers emerged from somewhere, each holding ***sha submachine guns and guarding the road.

The soldiers didn't speak. In the order that had been arranged, they walked towards the convoy in groups, but I was the only one who was stunned. Because I knew that I was arranged to be in the same car as the boss, but the jeep in front of me were all the same, and I couldn't tell which car the boss was in at all.

"Here!" Company Commander Zhao, who followed me from behind, patted my shoulder and walked towards a jeep that was leaning against the back.

Captain Zhao entered the co-pilot cab, and naturally I followed into an open seat on the left side of the rear row. As soon as the door was closed, the jeep started, so I didn't even come and looked at the boss sitting next to me. In fact, I was a little afraid to look at him. I don't know why, since I got in the car, I felt an invisible pressure, which almost made me feel a little breathless.

Jeeps have no roof. In fact, most jeeps on the battlefield have no roof covers, which is to facilitate combat and get on and off the car on the battlefield. Just imagine, if the jeep is installed with a roof cover, not to mention the rifle and night vision device in our hands cannot be used, even if it is difficult to bring them into the car. Moreover, once the convoy is attacked by the puppet army, the jeep with roof will undoubtedly prevent us from reacting quickly.

Of course, some soldiers pointed out that jeeps without a roof are not safe. The puppet army even just needs to lie in a hidden place beside the road to observe to clearly see the people in the jeep, and it is even possible to determine which one is the boss...

Regarding this statement, Company Commander Zhao, who has been a guard for a long time, naturally had his own way. Just like now, every jeep is carefully disguised with branches, leaves, etc. In this night, the puppet army did not see the people in the car clearly through these leaves. What's more amazing is that from beginning to end, each car in the convoy arranged a soldier with a dress similar to the boss in the back seat.

So the problem was solved. Such an arrangement would not hinder the soldiers' actions, and it would also be a good way to avoid the problem of sneak attacks by puppet army snipers.

I mounted the rifle to a iron rod in front of the car and looked at the view outside the car through the sight, but this look made me realize a very serious problem. The road conditions in North Korea are very poor, and the rifle will jump up and down violently when the jeep starts. Not to mention seeing the scenery outside clearly, I was so dizzy that I couldn't stand it.

I couldn't help but frown, put away my rifle and asked at the intercom: "The first team reported on the use of night vision devices!"

"Captain!" Liu Yangxing's nervous voice came from the walkie-talkie: "The car is jumping hard, and I can't see the situation clearly!"

"Continue to be alert!" I ordered helplessly, and then I looked helplessly at Company Commander Zhao who was sitting in the front row.

"What's going on?" What surprised me was that the boss sitting next to me was the one who asked.

"Report..." I dared to face the boss at this time and replied nervously: "Because the road conditions are not good, the car is too bumpy, and the vanguard cannot reconnaissance!"

"Well, is it... Xiao Chen?" Unexpectedly, the boss recognized me at a glance and asked in confusion: "Why are you here? You are back to the guard battalion? Why don't I know? Haven't you all become the regiment commander? I heard that the battle was pretty good! Is it your troops who destroyed the *** regiment headquarters and seized their regiment flag?"

"Xiao Chen..." I couldn't help but be stunned. I quickly remembered my original name and surname. After reacting, I quickly responded: "It's our army! Report to the boss, I was temporarily transferred to protect you!"

"Change it up to protect me?" The boss turned his eyes to Company Commander Zhao in front.

"It's such a boss!" Captain Zhao looked at me in confusion and quickly replied: "Considering that we are going to travel at night, Captain Cui and his team have night vision devices, so..."

"What's the point!" The boss interrupted Company Commander Zhao with a stern face and said unhappily: "Isn't it just a trip to Kaicheng? As for transferring a regiment commander to protect me? I'll transfer a regiment commander today. If he is the division commander tomorrow, what about the commander? I'll also transfer it? If everyone is like you, how can I fight this battle?"

"Boss!" Upon hearing this, I quickly explained to Company Commander Zhao: "Our army has just finished the war and is now resting on the second line. If we are transferred to the market, we will not disrupt the deployment of the battle investment!"

"That's even more unreasonable!" The boss frowned and replied, "They just got off the battlefield and had time to take a breath when they were hung up. I'll let you get there right away!"

"Yes, yes..." Company Commander Zhao was so arrogant that he didn't dare to say anything, he only nodded.

The boss pointed the company commander Zhao in the void with his finger, turned his head and said to me, "Xiao Chen! Don't treat it as anything, they are too nervous!"

"It's OK! It's OK!" I didn't know how to answer after the boss said this.

"How is it? The army is suffering a lot!" The boss continued: "I have heard of your regiment's deeds. They fought very well and were very determined! The Jincheng Battle has achieved such great results, and your regiment has played a key role here!"

"This is what we should do!" I replied.

"What a pity for those soldiers!" The boss's voice quickly turned heavy: "It's only a few days away..."

My heart also felt ache. When the boss said this, I remembered my comrades who died in the 585.2 high ground a few days ago. At the same time, I felt excited for no reason and said to those comrades who died in secret: "Don't you know that the boss is also thinking about you. If you know you, you will be happy!"

"Report to the team leader!" Liu Yangguang's report came from the intercom again: "Captain, it really doesn't work... I'm afraid there will be danger!"

I know what Liu Yangxing means. What he is really afraid of is not that he is in danger, but that he is worried that he will not be able to reconnaissance and cannot protect the safety of the boss.

This is indeed a problem. If we really go all the way to Kaicheng, there is almost no difference between having a night vision device and not having a night vision device! It can even be said that it is similar to having us and not having us... The puppet military agents can easily set up a surround and wait for us to get in!

What should I do? Let them rush forward to reconnaissance or throw stones to ask for directions? However, the road sections for reconnaissance are limited in the end, and the puppet military agents are not fools. They cannot attack the troops that are obviously used for reconnaissance in front. As long as people are a little smarter, they will know to let go of the reconnaissance in front and attack the troops that follow behind!

Yes! Why didn’t I expect... they would let go of the reconnaissance troops in front!

Thinking of this, I immediately ordered to the intercom: "The first team, the third team slowed down the speed, and let the second team conduct reconnaissance in advance! Repeat, the first team, the third team slowed down the speed, and the second team conducted reconnaissance in advance!"

"The second team is conducting reconnaissance?" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim. Even Captain Zhao, who was sitting in the front row, looked at me with surprise. Although they didn't know which car the boss was in, they knew that I was leading Wang Xinhe's second team, and the boss was by my side!

"Good chess! It has courage!" Only the boss nodded constantly and praised: "If you don't play cards according to common sense, there is real in the virtual world, and there is virtual in the real world! Xiao Chen, you are well versed in the military!"

"Captain Cui!" Captain Zhao was still worried, "I'm afraid this is not good! Isn't it too dangerous..."

To be honest, I felt a little confused when I was asked by Company Commander Zhao. I am a man who likes to take risks in my life. Since I came to this era, I have been taking risks in every battle I have fought. I just decided so subconsciously. Now that I think of it... I am taking risks with the boss's life, my scalp is numb! But since the order has been given and I have been recognized by the boss, I have to bite the bullet and hold on!

So he gritted his teeth and replied, "Company Commander Zhao, I don't think the puppet army would dare to take risks like this, I insist on doing this!"

"What are you talking about! Just follow the orders of Captain Cui!" The boss was a little impatient.

Then he ignored the car outside and turned around and started chatting with me: "Xiao Chen! You all know that your surname is Chen! Why is he still called Captain Cui!"

"Boss!" I replied helplessly: "The soldiers under my command are used to calling me! If they don't change their words, I can't do anything!"

"Oh...it makes sense!" Hearing the words, the boss laughed happily.

I felt very lucky. The boss didn't treat me as an outsider along the way, so the journey became relaxed and happy. My nervousness that was tight all over my body gradually relaxed, so I was naturally wondering if it was really like the boss said, it was just a trip to Kaicheng. In fact, there was no need to worry at all.

But after thinking about it, the work in our hands was not relaxed at all. The second convoy we were in always drove in front at high speed. After a long way beyond the two convoys in the back, they slowed down their speed and reconnaissance in some relatively dangerous or suspicious places. Sometimes they simply stopped moving forward and got off the car to reconnaissance.

The two convoys behind were also very cooperative, and they were sometimes slow and slow, as if they had been reconnaissance under our protection before they could pass through. I think if the puppet army was smart enough, they would definitely let us "reconnaissance" troops in the front. Of course, if the puppet army was too stupid, so stupid that they didn't know how to let the reconnaissance troops go; or if they were too smart, so smart that they could see through the tricks I made... Then I had no choice!

The convoy went forward in the night for more than three hours, and I didn't know where I drove. I faintly smelled in the cold wind blowing towards me. I was so familiar with this stinking. Not only me, but also the soldiers, because it was the stench.

It's on the front line! This is my first reaction.

And I probably arrived in the Jincheng area, and then I made a judgment quickly.

Because it is obvious that the smell of corpses after so many days means that the corpses are not too late to be cleaned. For the volunteer army with a large number of people, this phenomenon of not being rushing to clean up the corpses will only occur in the major battles. Recently, there have been major battles in the Jincheng area, so it must be the front line of Jincheng.

Sure enough, Company Commander Zhao then turned around and said to me and the boss: "There is Jiaoyan Mountain ahead. The puppet army of the 10th Regiment of the 8th Pseudo-8th Division was very stubborn. The comrades of the 199th Division sacrificed more than two thousand people here to finally pull out the nail!"

"Yeah!" The boss nodded heavily.

Only then did I realize that we were not the only one with heavy casualties like the 180th Division!

As we got closer and closer to the battlefield, the stench in the air became heavier and heavier. Soon, pairs of migrant workers carrying dead bodies on stretchers appeared in front of us. Some of the lifeless corpses on stretchers stretched out a hand and swung left and right with the frequency of stretchers, some were dripping water down, and some even carried the stretchers in a mess of organs!

A few days ago, when our army was fighting against the enemy, it happened to be rainy. The sacrificed soldiers were soaked in the rain and then blew the wind and sun on the battlefield for a few days, and none of them were not rotten. So at this time, the battlefield was stinking.

Company Commander Zhao and the driver obviously rarely saw such a scene, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses. The boss sitting next to me did not do this. He looked at the corpses passing by, with a serious face, gritted his teeth and seemed to be holding back the tears in his eyes, then straightened his upper body and saluted the corpses...
