Chapter 56: The Sentry Post
Duan Qiqi is undoubtedly happy these days, because Shanwa needs to change his dressing by herself these days. I also took a lot of pictures of myself in my free time.
Today, I removed the thread that sutured the wound for Shanwa, but there is still a scar on the right eyebrow bone upwards. Duan Qiqi felt distressed and kept touching the scar with her little hands.
I kept thinking about it in my mouth, and I had to pay attention to safety in the future. How dangerous it is, one eye will be gone at the next point, and how ugly it would be if it really became a one-eyed dragon.
What Duan Qiqi said was both sad and joyful. Shanwa couldn't listen to it anymore and sneered and said, "And the one-eyed dragon, don't you want me to be good?"
Okay, take a mirror and I'll take a look. Duan Qiqi hurriedly took out a small mirror to show Shanwa, and it turned out that Duan Qiqi had prepared a small mirror. Shanwa looked at her not handsome face, and there was an extra scar on her forehead.
It's not disfigured, it's a little more domineering of a man. But even if it's disfigured, it's nothing, and I don't want to eat with my face.
As long as he has a full beard and a full tail, it is better than anything else, and he feels a little sad when he thinks that Li Dazhuang still can't get out of bed and walk.
On the second day after Shanwa's forehead was removed, the company had a mission. to cooperate with other comrades-in-arms to assist in the defense. Shanwa hurriedly said goodbye to Duan Qiqi and set off.
Before leaving, Duan Qiqi hugged the mountain baby regardless of her life. made Shanwa blush, but the others did what they should do as if they didn't see it. Even the company commander didn't seem to see anything.
The task of Shanwa's squad is to hold on to a small hill with four veterans. Shanwa's squad is full of ten soldiers, and due to the seriousness of Li Dazhuang's injuries, there are now nine people, plus four veterans, a total of thirteen people. After everyone arrived, the first task was to strengthen the fortifications with the veterans and distribute the firepower well.
Because the veteran is already very experienced, just listen to the veteran's arrangement. Everyone took turns to stand guard, and the rest of the personnel rested at the entrance of the cave.
You can't stand up straight in the so-called hole, it's dark and damp. And everybody doesn't wear clothes, yes, they don't wear clothes.
You can't wear clothes, and you'll have to stay in the cave if you're safe. You don't know when the enemy shells will come, the climate is warm and humid. The clothes on his body are also wet, and even the quilt can wring out water. Can you wear clothes under such conditions, and the skin of your body can't stand it when you wear clothes.
It's all big men here, and they don't wear clothes. The veterans told us that the average sentry post was four or five people, and that this sentry was very important now, so they sent an extra squad of people to come.
Early the next morning, a veteran squad leader said that he needed to take three people down the mountain to carry water. Then Shanwa, Lao Hei, and the squad leader Liu Yuliang went down the mountain together.
Before going down the mountain, the veteran squad leader asked everyone to tie up the 'glorious bullets' that were distributed, fully armed, and carry a water bag made of raincoats on their backs.
And said in a very serious tone: Everyone must follow me closely when you go down the mountain for a while, and you can't walk a single step. There is a minefield nearby, so don't make a noise in case you get spotted by enemy agents, and a fight will take place.
Everyone must obey orders and listen to commands, do you understand? Shanwa and the three of them said in unison; Let's go.
Everyone cautiously came to the foot of the mountain and heard the sound of the murmuring stream. The veteran squad leader motioned for everyone to squat down and slowly move forward to observe for a long time before reaching the stream.
In order to save water, the veteran squad leader asked everyone to quickly wash their faces by the stream. Then fill the hydration bag with the prepared bamboo tube.
Green waters and green mountains, a beautiful scenery, but there are four heavily armed warriors. Beneath the fiery kapok is a minefield, all of which reminds us that this is a battlefield.
When we went back, we walked a little faster, but we were fully armed and with water bags, and each of us had forty or fifty kilograms of weight.
Most of the days that followed, everyone took turns to sentry and take turns to carry the water. When I have time, I rest at the entrance of the cave, listen to the sound of gunfire in the distance, and the veterans tell everyone about the precautions here, and explain everything in detail.
The four veterans are all D members, and so is the squad leader Liu Yuliang. Regularly engage in organizational life learning.
In the evening of this day, there was a situation at the sentry post, and everyone came to their own positions to observe. It was found that there was a young man about 100 meters down the mountain, with a hat and a small bamboo basket on his back. It's a leisurely walk around and look around. As if carelessly, as if our sentry post had come to us.
Veteran Zhao Qirong said: There is no order not to shoot, and everyone pays close attention to the movement around them. When this teenager was seventy or eighty meters away from us, Zhao Qirong, the veteran squad leader, had already begun to aim.
Shanwa was beside Zhao Qirong, and hesitated and pressed Zhao Qirong's shoulder. Zhao Qirong glared and said, "What are you doing, this is an enemy, we can't let him get close, it's very dangerous." It is even more dangerous if we accidentally expose our personnel, fire.
Shanwa hurriedly said, I'll come, if I don't hit you, you will make up for it. In fact, Shanwa has always been haunted by the fact that she didn't dare to shoot last time, she is already on the battlefield, but she is not a qualified soldier.
Shanwa wants to challenge herself and overcome herself. Adjusting her breathing, Shanwa didn't aim at her head, but at her chest. One is that Shanwa is not sure to hit the head, and the other is the scene where Shanwa doesn't want to see her brain burst.
At a distance of seventy meters, the Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle hit the chest, which was enough to kill the enemy. Type 56 semi-automatic, very lethal, the total length of the gun is 1,0025 mm. Four rifling, right-handed. The magazine has a capacity of 10 rounds, an effective range of 400 meters, and a gauge range of 1,000 meters.
An experienced top scorer with 600 meters is no problem. The gun rang out, but Shanwa did not hesitate. The face was very calm, and the veteran Zhao Qirong gave a thumbs up.
And immediately called his superiors to explain the specific situation. The higher authorities said that everyone handled the matter very correctly, and that they should pay close attention to all the movements of the enemy and not be careless.
Everyone did not rest and watched from the sentry post all night, for fear of a sneak attack by the enemy. In fact, Shanwa's psychology is not calm, and for the first time in two lives, she let a fresh life fall under her own gun.
There is still a great psychological burden, but this is the cruelty of war. For the sake of the comrades-in-arms and the hundreds of millions of people behind them to live and work in peace and contentment, we must face it.
The enemy often shelled and sneaked up on our comrades-in-arms and border people, so that our losses were very large, and we had to subdue and fear them. The next day, it was just dawn. Zhao Qirong and another veteran secretly went down the mountain, and the mountain baby took cover at the sentry post.
The two veterans touched the side of the young man who was killed by Shanwa yesterday and carefully examined the body. After a while, the two of them returned to their posts, bringing back what they had found on the enemy's body.
There are four American-style grenades, a pistol, and a T48 mine. Zhang Jianjun, the old black scolder, said: This little deflated calf, I can't see it, it's too dangerous.
Zhao Qirong looked at everyone and said, "This is the enemy, don't look at their age, but they have a lot of combat experience." They fought with country F, fought with country America, and attacked Cambodia.
So we must not underestimate them. We don't know if there are any other enemies nearby. I'm not going to carry the water today.
Let's take a look at the situation and stick to it for a day, and if you don't find anything, you'll be careful to carry the water tomorrow.
Today, everyone is stationed in two shifts, and the comrades who are resting must also be ready to go into battle at any time. Nothing happened for a day, as if nothing had happened.
Early the next morning, Zhao Qirong, the leader of the veteran squad, said: Today I personally took people to carry the water, two veterans covered and observed, and three recruits carried the water.
Be extra careful and put safety first. I walked to the front, everyone followed me, and the veteran Li Dali covered behind. The comrades-in-arms carried the water back very safely, but Shanwa did not carry the water today, and was standing guard.
Shanwa has basically adapted to this difficult and dangerous environment. But in fact, there is still a certain amount of pressure and burden on the psychology of killing the enemy.
