Chapter Fifty-Eight: Kapok Forever
On April X, 1981, the weather was cloudy and rainy. In fact, rain is both a disaster and a blessing for the soldiers at the outpost.
The most scarce thing at the outpost was water.
The outpost where Shanwa is located is really blessed, there is a small stream formed by a small spring, and you can risk coming down to carry water.
But other outposts are different, not only are they dark and damp, but they smell bad. The main thing is that there is a shortage of water, so everyone uses canned food boxes to find a place with dripping water to receive water.
When it rains, you can wipe your body to your heart's content, cook on a kerosene stove, and save some for many days.
However, when it rains, the cave will be more humid and the smell will be more unpleasant. After staying at the outpost for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be many diseases in the body over the years.
Because there was light rain today, I didn't go to carry the water. Two people were left to stand guard, and everyone was picking up the rain to scrub their bodies. Wash all the sweaty and damp clothes too.
It was a very ordinary day, but the unusual thing is that you can wash it well when it rains, and you don't need to save water.
Anyway, the comrades-in-arms washed everything that should be washed and what should not be washed, and even the pants were not worn. A group of 'primitives' who also had a lunch with bare butts.
It rained lightly for a day, and it didn't stop until three o'clock in the afternoon. This time should be closed, and it will be dark in a while.
Today, it was the veteran Li Dali who took Liu Baoguo in the Shanwa class to 'Great Sichuan' to seal the position, and then check the surroundings.
Usually, everyone takes turns to seal the position, and they all pay attention to safety, after all, they are out of the trenches. It was raining today, and Liu Baoguo, the 'Great Sichuan', had no combat experience, so he was careless.
In his heart, he thought that there should be no problem on this rainy day. Even if it is an enemy, it will not appear in such weather.
A gunshot was mixed with the veteran Li Dali's shout, 'Lie down'. The nerves of all the warriors were aroused, and they all came to their rightful positions with their bare butts and weapons.
Because the distance is not far, everyone can see that Liu Baoguo should be injured and lying on the ground. Li Dali crawled behind a rock to shoot from cover, and everyone paid close attention to the movement of grass and trees around them.
At this time, 'Little Sichuan' Wang Hai shouted with tears in his eyes, and he was about to go to see Liu Baoguo's situation. The two of them are fellow villagers or from the same village, so they usually have a very good relationship.
At this time, Zhao Qirong, the veteran squad leader, pressed Wang Hai to the ground and shouted: "Are you going to die?"
As soon as you go out the enemy sniper can result in you. You give me the order to stay where you deserve, that's the order. After speaking, he let go of Wang Hai, but he himself told the other two veterans, "Protect everyone, cover me."
I'm going to save people. After speaking, he found a position to squat and observe for a while, and he was very flexible and rushed out of the trench. Lying directly behind a stone, Li Dali, who was not far away, also cooperated at this time and shot at the distant woods.
and also moved towards Liu Baoguo, and the mountain babies also cooperated with the shooting. gave Zhao Qirong and Li Dali cover, and the two of them arrived at Liu Baoguo's side in just a few clicks.
After saying a few words to each other, I saw Zhao Qirong carrying Liu Baoguo and running to the trench.
Li vigorously shouted, and when he fired, he fired at the woods. Shooting on one side is also retreating on the other.
Although they couldn't see the situation in the woods, they all opened fire. Form a small net of fire and suppress it. After just one round of firing, Zhao Qirong and Li Dali returned to the trenches with the wounded Liu Baoguo.
At this time, everyone saw that Liu Baoguo was injured in the neck, and the injury was penetrating, and it should be that the other party did not hit the head, but hit the neck. I saw that Liu Baoguo was bleeding foam in his mouth and nose all the time.
The penetrating wound to the neck should not have hurt the carotid artery, but it was bleeding all the time. As for whether the injury hurt the carotid artery or not, Shanwa didn't understand.
I just saw blood, but not soon it didn't spurt. At this time, Zhao Qirong said: We must send them down the mountain to the field hospital as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
As he spoke, he had already bandaged his wound with the medical supplies available at the outpost to stop bleeding. Li Dali said: It is very dangerous to go down the mountain now, and we do not know how many enemy special personnel there are.
And although the one who shot just now didn't kill a single shot, it must have been a long-range sniper. It's too dangerous. Xiao Sichuan has been crying, and everyone's mood is depressed to the extreme. Zhao Qirong went to call at this time to ask for instructions and explained the situation.
If the wounded were not sent down to the field hospital, the wounded would certainly not survive the conditions of the outpost.
Finally, permission was given to escort the wounded down the mountain immediately. Shanwa knew that she was escorting the wounded, so she immediately put on her wet clothes and asked for an escort.
In the end, it was decided that there were Zhao Qirong and Li Dali. Shanwa, Da Lao Hei, four people form an escort team. The four of them immediately gathered their weapons and equipment and prepared to set off.
Xiao Sichuan is desperate to follow, but Zhao Qirong will not let him, Xiao Sichuan's mood is very unstable, but it is easy to delay things. Let Liu Yuliang take two veterans and the remaining five new soldiers, a total of eight soldiers to stay. All staff are required to take up their posts, and there can be no sloppiness, and people are in the position.
The four people carried the stretcher into the rain curtain, and Zhao Qirong led the way straight to the field hospital. The four people took turns carrying the stretcher, and that was careful and careful.
Don't dare to be careless, one careless may die. Liu Baoguo is still on a stretcher. More than half of the way through, there were no accidents.
Although the road was difficult to walk on a rainy day and everyone was tired, no one dared to have the idea of taking a break. It was already a little dark, the wounded needed to be treated as soon as possible, and the wilderness was dangerous.
But a gunshot broke through the rainy night, and at this time it was Shanwa and Da Lao Hei who carried the stretcher, Zhao Qirong walked in front to be responsible for reconnaissance and exploration, and Li Dali broke behind. Shanwa saw Zhao Qirong's figure shake and shouted: There is a situation when you lie down.
Everyone hurriedly lay down and fired at the enemy, who was under a small hill in front of him. There should be five or six people, and the enemy should have just arrived, and they met before they were ready.
and the person who injured Liu Baoguo should be a group of people. At this time, I heard Zhao Qirong say, there is no way, you have to rush over. Shanwa and Lao Hei will carry the wounded in a while, and Li Dali and I will be in front.
Everyone rushed over together, and after I passed, Li Dali took everyone away. The field hospital is not far away. Li Dali said: After I break off, you take them first. Zhao Qirong said: No, after I broke it, I was already injured, and I just knocked down my abdomen.
I can't go fast, I must break the rear, this is the command you must carry out. Da Lao Hei said at this time: No need to carry a stretcher, I will carry Liu Baoguo directly on my back for a while. Shanwa's marksmanship is also okay, so we have a better chance of withdrawing together.
Li Dali said at this time: Otherwise, we will confront each other for a while, and the superiors will know that we are escorting the wounded, and they should send someone to meet them. Zhao Qirong thought for a while and said, "No, I don't know if there is a response yet, the condition of the wounded is very serious."
There is also a sniper who should have a sniper, although the marksmanship is not very good. It's raining and it can affect it a little, but it's also dark and it's easy to spot where we're firing.
After a long time, they occupied a favorable position, and the dark sky had a great impact on us, and we could not afford to drag it out. Break out right now, and the three of you will go straight to the field hospital right away. I broke it myself after it was ordered to understand not!
At this time, Da Lao Hei directly carried Liu Baoguo on his back and followed everyone to break through. Shanwa also ran while shooting at the hostile side. Everyone ran over the hill, and Zhao Qirong was behind. In fact, just now, Zhao Qirong didn't care about his own safety at all, and shot directly at the enemy, and his leg was also injured.
At this time, I heard Zhao Qirong scolding loudly: You 'old cowards' and 'melon skins', Lao Tzu will have a birthday tomorrow, and all the 'thieves and your mother' will die for Lao Tzu. The enemy looked at the mountain baby, they didn't care, and rushed over and ran away.
also pursued behind, but I didn't expect that Zhao Qirong would not run, but rushed towards them. Shanwa, the distance they ran was not very far, not long after listening to the veteran squad leader Zhao Qirong scolding.
There was a loud bang, accompanied by the light of fire. This is at least four or more grenades, bundled together with an explosive effect.
Shanwa stopped running, Shanwa only felt that the blood was gushing up, and her scalp was numb. Shanwa knows that this is the last sound of the veteran squad leader Zhao Qirong, which resounded all over the world!
This is a means to die with the enemy, and this is the backbone of the old Qin people. Qingshan buries the bones of the faithful everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. Zhao Qirong, the veteran squad leader, in order to escort his comrades-in-arms and cover his comrades-in-arms, has been sleeping under the fiery kapok ever since!!
