During Li Aobai's march, when he was about to reach the defensive line, he encountered another rain. There was no place to hide from the rain, and it was drenched. It just so happened that the rain eased the water supply, and everyone should take a shower.

After the rain, a rainbow hung in the distant sky. Rain-washed dense jungle covers the undulating slopes. Thick forest vegetation, layers of trees, shade the sky. Behind such a landscape, there are countless dangers.

The farther I went, I saw that some of the trees had lost their crowns, and only their trunks and branches were bare and bare branches, and that some of the trunks had been broken and shattered by the artillery fire, leaving only a thick stump, the broken stems of which were the same color as the red earth.

In the subtropical rain and fog, the vegetation was revived, and the mountains were green again, but the trunks and stakes of the trees that had been swept by the artillery fire were drying up more and more, and the skin was gradually peeling off, revealing a gray-red, dense, innumerable, and endless to see, and there were thousands of such trees and stakes on every slope. So many peaks and slopes are connected together, and from a distance, it seems that the mountains are full of deer antler velvets, and they come together to show a beating fiery red, covering the red earth, blocking the mountain green, forming an eternal wonder.

At this time, everyone became unusually quiet and cautious, and they were about to break through the defense line. Once this line of defense is passed, bypassing a beam, you can go to rescue those unprepared and comrades trapped in the cave.

The first few times I sent over, I didn't succeed. There is a team of men and horses, the defense line is over, who knows that halfway through the encounter with country A stragglers who are good at jungle warfare, these people have been hidden in the mountains and forests for a long time. Surround yourself with animals and act like savages. The commandos were killed one by one, and the missing disappeared. None of them came back alive.

Therefore, this forest is also called the Ghost Forest.

Very close to the defense line, Fang Zhonglei brought the prisoners captured on the road. Zhang Miaohua's conversation with the captive:

Q: "Did you eat well here?" ”

Answer: "Yes, and smoking." ”

Q: "Do you think our people are good?" ”

Answer: "It's good, didn't hit me." ”

Ask: "Do you want to live back to see your daughter and father?" ”

A: "Yes." ”

……

The captive, named Agui, agreed to communicate with the soldiers of country A on the defensive line and told them not to open fire again.

Fang Zhonglei asked Agui to bring a few boxes of canned food and compressed biscuits, and watched Agui approach his country's defense line.

Fang Zhonglei held a telescope and saw Agui talking to the sentry in the local dialect, and then was let go. Enter the defensive line.

The scouts were left to continue to observe each other's every move, and the others were unmoved.

After a long wait, everyone rested in place. Zhang Miaohua opened a bag of biscuits. handed it to Li Aobai. Li Aobai said: "You can eat, I don't want it." ”

Zhang Miaohua said: "It's not poisonous, eat it." Maybe there's going to be a tough fight, and it's not necessarily a bad thing to replenish your stamina. ”

Li Aobai took the biscuit. Ate it. Zhang Miaohua's kettle unscrewed the lid. Poured the water into the lid and handed it over.

Who knew that Li Aobai didn't answer, but unscrewed his kettle, but it was empty. He licked his chapped lips, the barely compressed biscuit had consumed the last water left in his mouth.

Zhang Miaohua's water was handed over again and said, "I can only give you so much, no more." ”

Li Aobai did not refuse this time, and after taking it, he took a small sip. Although did not relieve the thirst problem. But it's much better than just now when your mouth is about to catch fire.

Zhang Miaohua said: "Remember, you must drink water in small sips when you drink it once. Don't gulp. Ahead, there is still a lot of water shortage. ”

Li Aobai didn't speak, his eyes looked ahead. Judging by the severed trunks, there have been quite a few fierce battles here. On the trunk of the tree, there is still some blood left, and the dried ones are blackened, which is shocking. I don't know if it's the enemy's or his own, but it complicated his mood again.

Fang Zhonglei has been secretly paying attention to Li Aobai, paying attention to his every expression. He knew that although Li Aobai had been in the army for a long time, he had only experienced some actual combat exercises. For such a real war, it is indeed the first time.

After this time, he will grow even more and will have the greatest significance in the history of his life.

However, this Zhang Miaohua is much more psychologically sophisticated, she is really interested in Li Aobai, and she follows closely step by step. At this point, Fang Zhonglei frowned a little.

For most of the day, everyone's nerves were tense. Although it did not move in place, it was in a state of rest. But his mind was in a state of fighting at any time, the steel gun in his hand was clenched, and his expression was solemn.

At this moment, Ah Gui was brought back by the scout in front, and he was empty-handed. Something must have been left by the other party, and he brought back a letter.

Zhang Miaohua's translation is as follows:

My dear! Chinese fighters:

We have been at war many times in different parts of the region, and like you, we all have a hometown, a family, and we all want our families not to suffer from war. We don't want to fight anymore, but there is no ceasefire from above.

Thank you for the cans and cookies. If there is to be a ceasefire, hopefully it will be negotiated between the two countries.

Fang Zhonglei replied with a letter:

All the officers and soldiers of the Vietnam front:

China and Argentina have always been friendly neighbors. In the past, when you were invaded by foreign powers, the Chinese people cut back on food and clothing, gave you strong support, and sent the Chinese People's Liberation Army to fight alongside you. Innumerable Chinese have died in your land,......

Welcome to the Chinese!

Ah Gui went again, and this time he came back, bringing some drinking water and a message from the supreme commander of the other party, which translated: You can pass through this line of defense today, and after you pass, there will still be many dangers, so you take care of yourself.

Fang Zhonglei's expression was a little heavy, yes, how good it would be if all the soldiers of country A were thinking like this. According to the passage time agreed by the two sides, the hundreds of people led by Fang Zhonglei passed through this line of defense under the strafing fire of the machine guns of country A.

Everyone collectively turned back and saluted the soldiers of this line of defense, and the officers of the opposing side also returned a military salute.

This time, the march entered the most dangerous jungle. In the depths of the mountains, you are marching with a compass, and you have to keep an eye out for mines under your feet.

Zhang Miaohua does not have the squeamishness of a woman at all, and is as brave as a man. She has always been the closest place to Li Aobai, and Li Aobai's heart began to admire as a beautiful girl.

In the past few days of marching, all the food eaten is fast canned food, and everyone is a little unbearable. (To be continued.) )
