Chapter 29: Crossing the Xiangjiang River (First Update~)
The company commander was right, seeing the bullets and grenades, the surprise and excitement on the regiment commander's face was even greater than that of him just now!
A box of bullets looked at it over and over again, and praised the three people fiercely before letting them go. ”
For the next three days, the troops stayed here and did not move.
Because it was only a defensive assistance, the position was only feinted by a regiment of white dogs, and it was very easy to defend.
The half-hung pork and a few old hens brought back from the Zhou family's compound made Li Hao idle for two days.
But it's not like there's nothing to do.
In addition to eating and a small amount of physical recovery training, as soon as he was free, he began to renovate the worn-out fishing nets that he had always carried with him.
Suddenly, the old squad leader walked over with a solemn face!
"Haozi, the company commander just sent an order: we will start to retreat at three o'clock in the morning tonight, prepare to cross the river, strive to cross the river before dawn, and then blow up the pontoon bridge and get rid of the white dog chasing soldiers behind!"
"We still have a lot of rice in our hands, and there will definitely be no problem in holding on for seven or eight days!"
"But the pork and chicken brought back from the Zhou family are almost gone, and I can still manage tomorrow night!"
"You, the deputy squad leader of the cooking squad, have to find a way to get some fish, meat and prey back, and take them to eat when you march on the road, just in case you need them."
"I don't know when we will stop and recuperate, we have to prepare for the worst!"
After looking at the net in his hand that was almost completed, Li Hao replied confidently: "Don't worry, the old squad leader, the net in my hand is almost complete." ”
"With this net, I can catch fish wherever there is water, day or night!"
"It's over in two or three hours, just give it a try!"
The old squad leader did not speak with a suspicious expression.
He had seen fishing, and there were quite a few fishermen in the Soviet area.
In his eyes, those experienced fishermen didn't dare to say such big things, let alone Li Hao, a doll.
But when he thought of the miracles that Li Hao had brought to him, the old squad leader hesitated again, maybe he really had the ability.
For the next few hours, no matter what he did, the old squad leader never left Li Hao.
"It's finally done!" Li Hao put down the fishing net in his hand and said with a long sigh of relief.
The old squad leader, who was not very relieved, immediately came over: "Haozi, the fishing net is ready, or we will try it now!" ”
The worry that flashed on the old squad leader's face did not escape Li Hao's eyes, and in order not to disappoint the old squad leader, he immediately replied: "Okay, go now, call Wang Bing and Zhang Yu!" ”
After finding a return area by the river, Li Hao began to act, pinched the fishing net in his hand, used all his strength, cooperated with both hands, and threw it in and out.
The old squad leader had lived most of his life, and it was the first time he had seen such a fishing net.
The nets that were thrown into the sky quickly spread out to form a circular net with a diameter of more than five meters.
As soon as it fell from the sky to the surface of the water, it instantly sank to the bottom of the river, causing almost no waves.
The old squad leader stared at Li Hao tightly, and saw that Li Hao waited for less than half a minute and began to pull the nylon rope in his hand, and directly began to get nervous.
More than half of the huge nets have been dragged out of the water, and there has been no movement.
A disappointed expression slowly appeared on the old squad leader's face.
"There are fish ...... in the fishing nets," Wang Bing beside him exclaimed, which rekindled the hope of the old squad leader.
After the whole net was out of the water, there were three large crucian carp, a carp, and a small trash fish whose names I didn't even know for several days!
"Quickly find a vine and put on these big and small fish, these are all good things to heal injuries and replenish nutrition!" The old squad leader's eyes lit up and he ordered.
Casting nets is different from other fishing nets in that you can only cast the net once in a place.
Li Hao took three people along the riverside for nearly a kilometer, and each net went down, more or less a few fish could be harvested, and few of them missed
The old squad leader, who was shocked all the way, sighed with great surprise: "Okay~ I don't have to worry about the nutrition of the soldiers in the future~."
"As long as there is water, Haozi can get fish, and the troops will have fish soup to drink!"
"I, the squad leader, can also breathe a sigh of relief!"
At three o'clock in the morning, the cooking class received the order to leave.
Three mules and horses carried all the food, and the warriors only needed to carry large iron pots and a few tools.
Advancing lightly for nearly two hours, the crossing, crowded with a large number of Red Army, appeared in front of everyone.
Glancing at the ferry situation, Li Hao was frightened.
On both sides of the highway were the corpses of Red Army soldiers, with broken arms and thrown directly on the side of the road and ignored.
Li Hao followed the troops through the middle of the road, as if walking through a corpse, his nose was full of pungent gunsmoke and blood, and even a trace of rancid smell.
Although he had already been on the battlefield and had killed people with his own hands, the tragic images in front of him and the seeping smell in the air still made him want to sick to his stomach.
His face turned pale.
The old squad leader's face was gloomy and terrible, these corpses were once heroic Red Army soldiers, and now they were thrown on the side of the road, and the tragic picture made this veteran a little unacceptable.
After taking a deep breath, he explained in a whisper to Li Hao.
"Those corpses must have been bombed by the white dog plane, the white dog is really hateful!"
"I heard that in the past few days, as soon as the sky dawns, the white dog plane will kill it, and the bomb will be dropped like money."
"Many soldiers were about to rush across the Xiangjiang River, and a bomb came down and was directly blown into the river along with people and pontoons."
"As soon as the morning dawns, this section of the river is full of the corpses of the Red Army soldiers who were killed by the bombing, and even the river water is dyed red!"
"The pontoon bridge in front was also blown up and repaired, repaired and then blown up, and repaired back and forth several times!"
"It's our turn to cross the river, hurry up and get on the pontoon, stand firm, don't fall into the river!"
"We must cross the river before dawn, otherwise we will suffer as soon as the white dog plane comes!"
On the constantly shaking pontoon, the cold wind made Li Hao calm down a lot.
He was well aware of the casualties of the Great War on the Red Army.
Under the blow of modern weapons, human life is too fragile, and when a bomb falls, dozens or hundreds of lives are gone.
Thinking of this, Li Hao's pace subconsciously quickened a lot, and he wanted to leave the river and enter the forest as soon as possible.
Only in this way could the threat of aircraft to the Red Army be reduced to a minimum.
After crossing the Xiangjiang River without any danger or danger, the troops did not stop, and walked forward another 10 kilometers, and only after planes began to circle overhead did the rapid marching team stop!
"Stop, take the company as a unit, go into the woods to rest, and march again at night!"
When the fighters began to rest, the hustle and bustle of the cooking class had just begun.
