Chapter 223: Wang Xiaoqiang's Story: Shi Jin's Sacrifice
The battle against the Nanban went very smoothly, and the Nanban army, without logistical support, was consumed by several feints by our army and supported by our army's powerful artillery fire, which made the fortifications and positions that were more laborious to conquer outside in the past instantly wiped out, and Wang Xiaoqiang and Shi Jin quickly occupied the expected positions for a long time. In order to deal with the enemy's return attack at any time, their current task is to quickly clean up the battlefield and then consolidate the position.
Under the arrangement of the company commander, everyone began to clean up the corpses in the enemy's cat ear holes in groups, while Wang Xiaoqiang and his squad leader Shi Jin were responsible for cleaning several holes. At the beginning, everyone went very smoothly, although there were stumps and broken flesh everywhere, which was a little disgusting, but it was still acceptable for a battlefield veteran like Wang Xiaoqiang Shi Jin. After all, the battle hasn't been long, so it hasn't stinked yet, and they've cleaned up the more disgusting ones in the past. Although it is an enemy, it still has to be buried, one is our usual style, and the other is that the weather in the south is hot, and if it is not buried soon, it is easy to spread diseases. At the last hole, Wang Xiaoqiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he began to clean up, a person suddenly sat up from the ground. Wang Xiaoqiang instinctively realized that this was a remnant enemy, so he subconsciously pointed the gun at that person. Just as he was about to shoot, he suddenly froze. Because it was not the Nanban soldiers who sat up, but a girl who was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and at this moment this girl was looking at Wang Xiaoqiang with fear on her face. Wang Xiaoqiang was stunned at the moment, he didn't know how to deal with this, so he shouted loudly: "Squad leader, there is a situation." ”
"Cockroaches, what are you yelling at, you can deal with it yourself, and if you think it's troublesome, you can make up for it. It can be regarded as more humane for us, so that they will suffer less. Shi Jin's voice came from outside the cave.
"No, squad leader, you can come and see it, this is special. Wang Xiaoqiang shouted again.
"What's so special, I said why are you so 、、、、、、" Shi Jin, who walked in from outside the cave, said as he walked, but he was stunned when he saw the situation inside. After a while he said, "What's going on?" ”
Wang Xiaoqiang shook his head and said, "I don't know, as soon as she came in, she sat up, how to deal with this, squad leader." ”
"How to deal with it, you ask me, who do I ask? So let's take her to the instructor and let him deal with it. Shi Jin glared at Wang Xiaoqiang and said helplessly.
"Good. Wang Xiaoqiang began to go over and motioned for the girl to stand up, and the girl saw Wang Xiaoqiang walking in and began to scream loudly. And Wang Xiaoqiang was stunned under the girl's loud crying. Shi Jin saw that Wang Xiaoqiang was so stupid, so he wanted to step forward and prepare to help him, but after just a few steps, Shi Jin felt that something was wrong, he found that there was actually a thin smoke next to this girl, and he secretly said that it was not good, so he shouted loudly: "Xiaoqiang." ”
Wang Xiaoqiang was also alerted by Shi Jin's shout and began to pay attention, he didn't know if he didn't see it, and he was startled when he saw it, when did this girl have an extra bundle of cluster grenades in her hand. So he began to retreat. may have been shocked, Wang Xiaoqiang's hands and feet actually became stiff. When Shi Jin saw that Wang Xiaoqiang was still there, he was stunned and anxious. Dragged Wang Xiaoqiang back. I don't know how Shi Jin has so much strength, so he actually dragged Wang Xiaoqiang out, and Shi Jin hurriedly followed him out. But it was at this time that the cluster grenade exploded. The instant shock wave pushed Shi Jin out and smashed it on Wang Xiaoqiang's back, and then he didn't know anything.
When Wang Xiaoqiang woke up, he found that he was already in the hospital, and the injuries on his body were not light. There were five or six wounds from shrapnel on his body. When he came back to his senses, he thought of Shi Jin who was with him, so he asked loudly. At first, everyone didn't tell him the truth in order to let him recover well, but after all, the paper couldn't contain the fire, and he still knew the truth of the matter. It turned out that the reason why he did not die in battle and was not injured too much was completely the result of his squad leader Shi Jin using his own body to protect him. And Shi Jin was because of the huge shock wave mixed with shrapnel. Straight into his body. The comrades-in-arms also comforted him, saying not to be sad, saying that Shi Jin walked very easily and did not suffer too much. Because several shelnbodies were directly inserted into his brain, the powerful force made Shi Jin's brain a mess, but it was an instant sacrifice. As we all know, hitting a person's heart does not die instantly, but the human brain is feeling the pain during this time until the consciousness of death disappears. And hitting a person's brain can make a person's consciousness disappear in a very short time, and basically no pain can be felt. Although these soldiers are also afraid of sacrifice, they are more afraid of the pain before death, so this kind of death is relatively acceptable.
Shi Jin's sacrifice made Wang Xiaoqiang blame himself very much, and even thought about suicide for a while. If you can handle it decisively, then this will not happen. Before leaving, the company commander's instructor repeatedly ordered everyone to be careful, saying that the people of Nanban were very cunning, especially women and children couldn't believe it, but I didn't expect that I was still paralyzed and careless, and it would be nice if I didn't call the squad leader in at that time. He has always regarded Shi Jin as his brother, and everything has been based on him as an example, so it can be said that he is Shi Jin's shadow. But suddenly, Shi Jin's sacrifice gave him no direction, so he thought it might as well go with Shi Jin. In the end, it was the repeated ideological work done by the troops that allowed him to survive. After the war, he became the squad leader of their squad, and he also imitated the words and deeds of his squad leader Shi Jin at all times. But in the army without Shi Jin, what's the point of staying, he thought of retiring from the army.
It was at this time that two young men walked up to their unit. And told them that although they had fought in the war, they were nothing in their eyes. It's the weak, it's a soldier, it's garbage. Wang Xiaoqiang protested, saying that each of them was a warrior, not a bad seed. One of the chiefs surnamed Jiang (Jiang Chen) told him, then prove it to him, pass the test, pass the selection, and then talk to him about whether he is a strong person and not a bad race. Wang Xiaoqiang clenched his fists when he heard this, and he swore that he would personally point to the nose surnamed Jiang in the future and say that he was a strong man, not a bad race. Because he represented not only himself, but also his squad leader Shi Jin, his own troops, and those comrades who sacrificed and survived on the front line, he gritted his teeth and signed up.
After 15 kilometers of fully armed cross-country and obstacle course and the most basic newspaper reading, he passed the primary selection of the two men and joined the selection team. It's just that he doesn't know what awaits him. (To be continued......)
