Chapter 214: The longest roll call in military history
It was late at night.
After the monstrous flood overflowed the large areas of farmland and houses in Paizhou Dayuan, it seemed that he was finally tired and finally quieted down.
The entire Paizhou Dayuan has become an endless lake, and only the poplar trees, which are still relatively tall, stand stubbornly in the water, revealing half of the trees.
These poplar trees were the only life-saving straw for the 400 retrograde warriors.
As long as they were not swept away by the flood, the soldiers would cling to the trunk of the tree and hold a fixed posture waiting for help to arrive.
As the minutes passed, the water level rose little by little.
The most terrifying thing is that there is often a "click" sound in the dark, which means that the branches can no longer bear the weight of the warriors hanging on them, and they break alive.
This means that someone may fall overboard, or lose their life......
The body temperature of the icy river began to drop gradually, and some of the younger soldiers began to lose their breath.
So, someone started shouting around constantly, and they began to get to know each other, who else was in the surrounding trees.
"Brother, which unit is on that tree of yours?"
"We are the ...... of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment of the Air Force"
"We are the ...... of the Boat Bridge Brigade"
In order to prevent dozing, the cadres began to play with the fighters. The cadre, who still had a flashlight on his body, simply turned on the flashlight light, constantly illuminated the people on the trunk of every tree around him, and began to check them one by one.
Some people climbed high above the tree to observe the surrounding situation and see if any rescuers had arrived.
Some fighters began to mark the trunks of trees to mark the rising water levels.
Zhou Guangming, an instructor of the Zhouqiao Battalion, and more than 40 of them were trapped in a poplar forest a few hundred meters away from their own troops.
He was better at water, and when he held the first tree, there was an airlift fighter on his head, and he felt that the tree was too small to withstand two people hanging, so he didn't climb up, rested for a while, and swam to another tree next to him.
The tree was safer, and the location was smoother and more comfortable, but after a while, he gave up this good position to another warrior, and he changed the tree to hold it.
When he couldn't stand it anymore, he would let go and change the tree.
That night, he changed several trees one after another.
Wherever he swam, he would encourage the soldiers on the tree: "I am the instructor of the Zhouqiao battalion, our brigade is nearby, there are many assault boats, they will come back soon to save us, everyone must hold on!" ”
In this way, officers and men of different branches of the military, different formations, and different positions began to encourage each other in the poplar forest, and it was in this special environment that Zhou Guangming was still doing his old profession -- political and ideological work.
In the torrent of the flood, many things often float by, furniture, livestock, even rats and snakes, and people......
In the darkness, a soldier named Ge Baoguo found an "object" floating by the tree he was hanging on, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be a person.
So he quickly grabbed the tree with one hand, leaned out and grabbed the person floating in the water.
When I pulled it over, it was an old man.
The old man didn't know how long he had been floating in the water, but he was still alive and breathing, but he was too weak to climb the tree.
"Young man...... I can't do it, you have to live...... Leave me behind......" He couldn't bear to see Ge Baoguo take risks for himself, and said with a dying breath.
"No!" Ge Baoguo replied with only one word.
"Throw me...... Otherwise......"
"No!"
Or one word.
Ge Baoguo held the old man beside him, grabbed the trunk of the tree with one hand, and held on in the water for nine hours and stayed up all night.
By the time he was rescued, the arm that hooked the tree trunk and the chest next to the tree trunk were already bloody and fleshy, and his right hand was stiff and hooked.
There is also another warrior, Gou Feng.
He was swept away by the flood far, far away, and in a daze, he actually grabbed a tree and climbed it.
After waking up a little, Gou Feng was in pain all over his body, there were scratches everywhere, his belly and the inside of his legs were scratched, and the cold river water rushed away, grinning in pain.
There were no trees around him, only him, and everywhere was empty, only the muddy river.
He shouted around, but no one answered him, and there was a deathly silence around him.
The water began to slowly rise inch by inch, and he began to move up inch by inch.
Suddenly, he saw something black floating not far ahead.
"Is it a tree trunk?"
He was pleasantly surprised.
You know, if you can find a floating object, at least you will have a sense of security.
When the float floated to his side, he jerked out his hand and grabbed the float in the darkness.
It went well!
He caught it!
But when he looked closely, he almost slipped off the trunk of the tree in fright.
This floater has hair!
It's a corpse!
The surrounding area was darkly lit and uninhabited.
Gou Feng subconsciously let go of his hand, but immediately grabbed it again.
Corpses cannot be given up either.
He dragged the body over and found the familiar orange life jacket on the other party......
Gou Feng's eyes were hot all of a sudden, and tears welled up instantly.
It's a comrade-in-arms!
After careful inspection, the soldier was already out of breath and had died.
He couldn't say how sad and sad he was, and although he couldn't recognize which unit he was a comrade-in-arms, he was, like himself, a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
"The corpses of our comrades must not be allowed to drift away!" He gritted his teeth and swore to himself that unless he died, he would definitely save the bodies of his comrades!
The fear was swept away at this moment, and he hugged the corpse of his comrade tightly, silently waiting for the arrival of rescue.
Just when Gou Feng was still holding the corpses of his comrades in the water, in the poplar forest, a recruit couldn't hold back and wanted to pee, but at this moment under his tree were his company commander and battalion commander.
"Battalion commander, I want to pee, I'll go down."
The battalion commander said: "Don't move, still move at this time?" Stay on it! If you want to pee, just pee! Just sprinkle on it! ”
The recruit hesitated for a moment and said, "Battalion commander, this will be poured on your head......"
The battalion commander said: "If you want to lie, you will lie, why is there so much nonsense?" ”
In the end, the recruit really couldn't hold it back, and the urine dripped from the crotch of his pants, fell vertically, and fell all over the battalion commander's head......
"Battalion commander, I'm sorry ......"
The battalion commander said: "What time is it now, I'm sorry for the ball!" Saving your own life is the most important thing! ”
After a while, the recruit suddenly said, "Battalion commander, if we can go home, I'll wash your hair when we get home......
The battalion commander said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you save some energy to grab the tree, if you can't catch it, I won't spare you if you wash Lao Tzu's head a hundred times!" ”
The recruits who climbed on top suddenly turned red with red circles all of a sudden.
"Why don't we take a roll call?" Huang Shunhua, the company commander who had just swam through the surrounding trees one by one, and counted the number of people, suddenly proposed
The battalion commander thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, you can also organize the following singing to let the big guys not fall asleep." ”
In the cold night breeze, company commander Huang Huashun began to blow the whistle on his life jacket.
"Drop-roll call!"
"Drop-all-even gathering!"
"Drop--all-roll call!"
"Lin Qingzhong!"
"Here!"
“XXX!”
"Here!"
“XXX!”
"Here!"
……
After the roll call, Huang Lianzhang discussed with the battalion commander and decided to take a roll call every ten minutes, and then organize a song to be sung after ten minutes.
sang from "Unity is Strength" to "We Are Soldiers", from "We Are Soldiers" to "Say a Word from the Heart", and then from "Say a Word from the Heart" to "Little Poplar......
We are soldiers
What's different
Just because we're all wearing
Unpretentious military uniforms
We are soldiers
It's just different
For the tranquility of the country
We clenched our guns
Say different
Actually, it's the same
are all hungry for glory
are all winning glory
Say different
Actually, it's the same
The same style is in
The flag of the republic flies
The familiar military songs reverberated over the Paizhou Hung District again and again, again and again......
The roll call was once every 10 minutes, and the roll call was repeated again and again......
This roll call took 9 hours!
Some people say that this is the longest roll call in the history of the PLA, and it is also the most tragic one.
