Chapter 58: The Hard Struggle (3)
By the time Li Meng led the team back to the grove, Hu Bo was directing about a squad of people to be busy around the health team, and Liu Ermao had already passed out.
"Company Commander Hu, the regiment commander asked us to withdraw first with the wounded and supplies, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon, quick!"
The two company commanders immediately commanded the men of the second battalion to prepare for departure, when there seemed to be fierce gunfire in the distance on the other side of the ridge, and enemy reinforcements were coming.
"Two people carry a seriously wounded person, the lightly injured ones try to walk by themselves, the supplies are loaded, and the prepared ones go first, quickly! Don't wait, return the same way. ”
We can't wait any longer, if we wait like this, there will be more and more enemies, and the strength of one person is limited after all, and the task of the second battalion is to transport supplies and protect the wounded, and as far as the eye can see, there are more than thirty wounded fighters in this grove.
The retreat was rapid, and it took only a few minutes for the second battalion to be ready, and at this time twenty or thirty fighters of the first battalion also withdrew from the ridge.
"The regiment commander asked the second battalion to retreat quickly with the wounded, we are responsible for covering, the mutants are coming for reinforcements, and the wounded and supplies are withdrawn first!"
Li Meng no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the people who were left behind to retreat quickly, and Company Commander Hu and the first group of people had already retreated along the mountain road in the direction of Yuanshan Town.
"Doctor Yang, Nurse Yu Yan, you should also withdraw, the enemy is coming soon. ”
The last to go was a few people from the health team, Li Meng helped them and a group of lightly wounded people to retreat finally, and when Li Meng and the others disappeared into the bushes to cover the Zhongshan Road, the first battalion and the regimental headquarters also began a large-scale retreat.
Li Meng took more than a dozen people from the second battalion and the health team to finally catch up with the front team, this battle seems to be a bit miserable, Li Meng roughly calculated, the number of casualties should reach at least one-third, those who can withdraw are lucky, and dozens of people are glorious on the spot.
At this time, Zhang Pengfei, deputy head of the regiment, caught up.
"In order to divert the enemy, the regiment commander has taken his direct company and a battalion to another direction, we will go back to the garrison directly, Company Commander Hu, you lead people to open the way in front, Company Commander Li, you and I organize cover, and resolutely cover the wounded and supplies. ”
"Yes, Commander. ”
In the end, only twelve of Zhang Pengfei's team members stood up to cover and stayed at the end, and the first battalion suffered the most casualties, and in order to distract the enemy, they chose another retreat path.
Li Meng looked at the retreating road and was very worried.
"Regiment commander, car prints and footprints are difficult to hide, and it is difficult to get out once the enemy catches up. ”
"Xiao Li, I can't care so much, try my best, cover up as much as you can, there are a lot of mutants in this reinforcement, we have to cover the wounded and the health team no matter what. ”
With the scattered cover of the direct company and the first battalion, the second battalion went smoothly all the way, but when Li Meng withdrew about ten kilometers, he seemed to remember a very serious problem.
"Regiment commander, we have lost a lot of personnel this time, will anyone be captured?"
"Yes, Company Commander Li, what do you want to say?"
"Commander, what if someone exposes the situation in Yuanshan Town?"
Li Meng's words made Zhang Pengfei surprised, the mutants are so brutal, the personnel composition of the Ninth Regiment is very complicated, there are local farmers, scattered regular soldiers and other people, in case those mutants come out of Yuanshan, not only the Ninth Regiment is dangerous, but the villagers in Yuanshan Town will also suffer.
"Xiao Li, what you said is very reasonable, let's divide the work, you lead the wounded and the health team to Qiaojia Village, and Company Commander Hu and I immediately go back to Yuanshan Town to organize the evacuation of the masses, you must protect them!"
Li Meng immediately said: "Yes, regiment leader, resolutely complete the task!"
The team adjusted the direction of travel, Li Meng led 20 soldiers and 32 light and serious wounded and five members of the health team to Qiaojia Village, Qiaojia Village is the village where the Ninth Regiment had been mobilized, and several soldiers were from this village, Li Meng immediately arranged a garrison as soon as he arrived in this village, and temporarily borrowed a temple in the village as a camp, this temple was built in the village, and the maintenance was not bad, get some hay, and borrowed more than a dozen quilts from the villagers' homes for the wounded, and it was not cold in the early autumn.
This village temple is located on a hillside and a half-waist, Qiaojia Mountain, below is Qiaojia Village, several nearby hills are called by the locals casually, North Mountain, Qiaojia Mountain, South Mountain, three hills are arranged from north to south.
After arranging everything, it was already dark, boiling water for cooking, first ensuring that the wounded were well fed and warm, Li Meng began to count the supplies after arranging everything.
Twelve brand-new mutant rifles, two boxes of grenades, three boxes of bullets, two light machine guns, and the others are some clothing and canned food, the most of which is food, this is good, at least you don't have to worry about eating, no matter what happens in the future, first of all, make sure that today's dinner is full, the soldiers are happy to eat and drink, this trip to fight the mutant transporter is a little bigger, you can eat a canned beef, and it is worth it to hold a brand-new mutant rifle.
In the evening, Li Meng held a small meeting for this team, and from tomorrow onwards, canned food will be specially supplied to the wounded, and they will take turns to stand guard, light and dark sentry.
"Company Commander Li, there are two seriously wounded soldiers who are dying. ”
Before the meeting was over, Dr. Yang Deshui told everyone a bad news, the injury was too serious, Yang Deshui could not do anything, the current first-aid medicine was too scarce, and Li Meng couldn't help even if he knew a little about rescue.
All Li Meng can do is to try to help Dr. Yang solve some practical difficulties, hoping that the canned cabbage and white rice made by the old man in the pot can have a little effect.
"Company Commander Li, you have studied medical knowledge very much, have you studied it before?"
Nurse Yu Yan asked with a smile on her face, Rub! This smile is very dangerous, although Li Meng has not had a girlfriend recently, he is also a battle-hardened person, as soon as he sees Yu Yan's innocent and admiring smile, he knows that he has caused a big incident.
"Nurse Yu, I learned a little bit in school before, and I can't compare with you. ”
"So, Company Commander Li also went to school?"
"Half-hanging, half-hanging......"
