Border Standoff (1)

In the morning, at 5:47, the gray sky had gradually brightened, but the rain was still falling.

Li Wu, who was standing guard on the guard tower of the No. 7 post of the Third Company of the Frontier Guard, was observing the side of the border line from the telescope in his hand, and the firelight and mushroom clouds coming from the border guard post of Country A, the violent explosion sound on the opposite side just now was still echoing in his ears at this time.

The fifth squad leader on the side looked at the fire not far away and said, "Platoon commander, what do you say is the situation at the country A outpost?" Accidental explosion of an ammunition depot? It's not like ah, the location of the explosion doesn't seem to be like an ammunition depot, it can't be attacked by a poison* who wants to transport drugs across borders, right? ”

Li Wu put down the binoculars in his hand and replied: "It should have been attacked by militants, I have never seen such a fierce poison*!" The reinforced concrete watchtower was blown up, and it is estimated that the checkpoint of country A has suffered heavy casualties this time. Saying that, Li Wu walked into the duty room behind him and dialed the phone number of the company commander's office: "Report to the company commander!" This is post No. 7, and there was a violent explosion at the country A outpost opposite, probably under attack by militants! ”

In the office, after the company commander who was just about to lead the team out for the exercise heard Li Wu's report, an ominous premonition instantly surged into his heart: "Continue to observe, pay attention to any suspicious people who take the opportunity to enter my territory, and I will immediately send someone to reinforce you!" ”

After hanging up the phone, the fifth squad leader hurriedly asked: "Platoon commander, what did the company commander say?" ”

Li Wu frowned and said, "The company commander told us to pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people entering the country. ”

With that, Li Wu raised the telescope hanging on his chest again and began to observe the situation around the border. At the same time, the company commander hurriedly dialed the phone in the duty room of the war zone, and as soon as he heard the voice of the head of duty, the company commander immediately said: "Report to the chief!" Border Post No. 7 observed a violent explosion at the country A outpost opposite! In order to avoid armed clashes on the border, it is requested to ask the government of country A what is going on, and at the same time, in order to avoid suspicious persons entering the territory of our country, ask the higher authorities to approve the blockade of the border! ”

The head of duty on the other side of the phone calmly replied to the company commander: "Don't act rashly, wait for the order of your superiors!" We will contact the government of country A immediately! ”

Putting down the phone, the company commander was so anxious that he stomped his feet here, in case the militants attacking the outpost of country A entered the territory of our country, then the problem would not be so simple, and then we would have to find ways to ensure the safety of personnel in the border area, and we would have to prevent friction with the government forces of country A............

After thinking about it, the company commander said to the instructor who was also anxious on the side: "Lao Yang, you wait for the order from the boss here, I will take a few people to the No. 7 post to have a look, there are only two people there now, if something really happens, they will definitely not be able to withstand it." I'll take Lao He with me, and if you ask, you'll say I'll go to the outpost to bring breakfast to the soldiers. ”

The instructor thought for a moment and said to the company commander: "You go, bring a satellite phone, and I will notify you as soon as there is news!" ”

The company commander took the raincoat on the side, and immediately went downstairs to take the soldiers of the second platoon and the fifth squad who were on duty today, and after receiving live ammunition from the ammunition depot, he went to the cooking squad and called the squad leader He, who was making steamed buns, and led the soldiers to carry guns with steamed buns and run in the direction of the No. 7 post in full gear..................

Border Standoff (2)

"Platoon commander, look! Someone from their side is coming down! The fifth squad leader said to Li Wu, who was still observing whether there was anyone near the border line around him.

Li Wu immediately aimed the observation direction of the telescope in his hand at an open field where the boundary monument was erected not far from the guard tower, and saw that about a platoon of the government army of country A coming down from the sentry post of country A that was still blazing was approaching the boundary monument in the torrential rain.

"Quick! They may be preparing to cross the border! With that, Li Wu took off the Type 95 assault rifle behind his back and ran towards the bottom of the watchtower.

When the fifth squad leader and Li Wu were about to arrive in front of a mound in front of the boundary monument, the opponent's large army had already arrived not far from the boundary monument, Li Wu hurriedly flew to the mound and set up the Type 95 assault rifle in his hand, although there were no bullets, but it could still play a certain deterrent role.

Seeing this, the government army of country A on the opposite side also raised the guns in their hands, and the muzzles of dozens of black holes were aimed at Li Wu and the fifth squad leader not far away. The situation has been so deadlocked, neither side has any other movements, just keep aiming at each other with the guns in their hands. The smell of gunpowder wafted through the air, and the silence was eerily quiet, except for the rumbling thunder in the sky.

At this time, the company commander and squad leader He led the soldiers of the fifth squad to the mound where Li Wu and the fifth squad leader were hidden.

At this time, no one dared to continue to advance, and neither side could take the first half step on the border between the two countries.

The company commander kept an eye on the satellite phone he had placed in front of him, and he was waiting for the dialogue between Z and A, waiting for the solution of the problem. In this way, the two sides aimed at each other in the rain for more than 30 minutes, and neither made any concessions.

Time continued to pass minute by minute, and suddenly, the soldiers and commanders at the head of the army of country A seemed to have a movement to move forward, and Li Wu vigilantly pulled the bolt of the gun, pushing the live ammunition that had just been loaded into the chamber of the gun, thinking that as long as someone in the army of country A dared to take a step over the boundary monument, he would shoot. On the other side, a flash of anger flashed in the company commander's eyes, and one hand grabbed the top of the mound, and immediately prepared to cross the mound.

Squad Leader He saw it, took the company commander's hand, and reminded: "You can't step forward, they will shoot, and you can't let the conflict escalate." We have to follow the order and continue to wait for the orders from above. ”

"The regulations only say that you cannot cross the border, but it does not say that you cannot operate on our own territory! Not to mention that we can't defend the territory of our own country! Wait a little longer, the daylilies are cold! The company commander said excitedly, then picked up the satellite phone on the side, jumped over the mound, and strode towards the boundary monument.

The commander of the government army of country A on the other side ordered the soldiers: "He is coming to us, he is loading his bullets, and if he is about to raise his gun and aim it at us, he will shoot him, or if he walks past the boundary marker, even if it is just a little, and shoot!" ”

"Click!" Dozens of guns on the opposite side were all loaded and pointed at the company commander, and the soldiers of country A, who had experienced last night's nightmare, angrily aimed at the officers of the PLA Z army who were walking towards them in front of them, and wanted to shoot him immediately.

I saw that the company commander was not afraid of the dozens of guns in front of him, and threw the raincoat on his body aside, and continued to walk in the direction of the boundary monument.

The atmosphere at the scene became even more tense, and Squad Leader He vigilantly said to the soldiers: "Give me the commander who aims at the other party, as long as they dare to move, kill him for me!" ”

The company commander walked to the boundary monument and did not aim his gun at the soldiers of country A who were aiming at him in front of him, but held the gun in front of his chest, stood in a standard posture with his gun in an upright position, and stood next to the boundary monument, staring straight ahead, not caring about what was happening around him.

Squad Leader He felt that there was one person in front of him, so he assigned a task to the remaining soldiers: "I and the second platoon commander and the fifth squad leader, as well as the three veterans of the fifth squad and the company commander, went to stand guard for the boundary monument, and the remaining five of you recruits as a reserve, continue to be vigilant here, waiting for backup, if there is no other order, none of you are allowed to act casually!" If...... We're all glorious, and it's up to you recruits here."

After that, squad leader He patted the shoulders of the five recruits respectively, and after leaving a basket of steamed buns he brought, he took the lead in taking off his raincoat and jumping out. Li Wu, the fifth squad leader, and three veterans also took off their raincoats and jumped out of the mound, followed squad leader He and his party of six people to form a column, and walked to the boundary monument in unison as they did during the military parade, and stood guard with guns with their guns together with the company commander.

The company commander smiled and said to Squad Leader He, "What? You're here to target them, too? ”

Squad Leader He also smiled: "Being a martyr is such a good thing, of course, everyone has to do it together." ”

"Live and die together!" Several veterans said in unison in the rain.

Border Standoff (3)

The torrential rain was still falling, and the raindrops in the sky hit Li Wu and his seven veterans mercilessly, and the wet military uniforms were attached to their bodies, which was indescribably uncomfortable, but they didn't care.

The faces of the five recruits hidden behind them behind the mound were red and snorting, none of them wanted to be taken for cowards, and everyone wanted to participate in this silent battle. Suddenly, one of the privates took off his raincoat and jumped out like the company commander, and the comrades next to him were too late to stop him, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they also got up, took off their raincoat and jumped out.

On the other side of the boundary monument, the government troops of country A saw that although the army of country Z on the opposite side was small, they still dared to rush forward and confront them, all of them held their guns vigilantly, aiming at the twelve Chinese soldiers standing next to the boundary monument———— company commander, Li Wu, squad leader He, and three veterans in front, five recruits in the back, forming two echelons, standing there straight, staring at the soldiers of country A in front of them. The two sides are at a stalemate.

"Stand firm, keep your chest up, keep your head up, don't move." The company commander said coldly.

The torrential rain continued to rain relentlessly, and cold raindrops fell fiercely from the air, hitting them on their bodies and faces, and flowing down their steel helmets and Type 95 assault rifles in their hands. No one moved, and they all stood with their heads held high, even though their numbers were far less than each other's. Their chests were still so straight, their heads were still so high, and their eyes were still so firm, so that the soldiers of country A who were pointing guns at them on the other side believed that they would not take half a step back.

The sound of the wind mixed with the thunder like an explosion echoed in the ears of both sides, and the commander of the other side seemed to think that the soldiers of country Z on the opposite side would not fire at them, so he ordered his soldiers to take back the flat guns, hold them in front of their chests, and stand straight in front of the boundary monument, and look at the soldiers of country Z opposite. But the difference is that they are still wearing raincoats, and their number is still several times that of the soldiers of country Z............

The soldiers of country Z standing opposite them were motionless, their whole bodies soaked, but they still stood like sculptures. Gradually, the soldiers of country A, who had the advantage in numbers, began to be a little impatient, some began to stomp their feet, some began to reach out to wipe the rain on their faces, some people changed their arms to support the guns on their chests, and their commander said something sternly, and the soldiers of country A stood up straight again............

Li Wu, who had already felt the cold after being soaked on his body, said to himself repeatedly in his heart: "I am a soldier of country Z, I am guarding this distant frontier, guarding the peace and tranquility of the motherland, for the sake of this tranquility, the territory of the motherland cannot be moved an inch!" "It is precisely because of this that they who are defending the territory of the motherland at this time cannot move, not the slightest............

Time passed slowly...... An hour...... Two hours...... Three hours............ The satellite phone brought by the company commander rang suddenly, but the company commander didn't pay attention to it, and continued to stand still.

At the same time, the other commander's phone also rang, and after he took out the phone and said something, he made a "withdraw" gesture to the soldiers under him, and the troops of country A on the opposite side began to retreat, but they were still holding the guns in their hands, and their eyes and black muzzles were still facing the soldiers of country Z on the opposite side, and the people were backwards. When they all retreated into the woods, their commander gave another order, and they suddenly disappeared into the woods.

The company commander was still motionless, and he did not give an order, and the soldiers of country Z still stood upright beside the boundary monument, motionless, and the rain drenched them all over their bodies, and there was no place where they were still emitting heat, like chickens in soup. The rain was still flowing on their snow-white faces, and even their lips were already so white that there was no trace of blood at this time.

The veterans were still holding on with perseverance, while the bodies of several recruits had begun to tremble, and they were swinging.

There was a "coo" sound behind him, and the company commander looked back in response, and a recruit from the fifth squad collapsed in the mud pond on the ground, and the person lost consciousness. Li Wu, who was closest to the recruit, stepped forward to help him, but his body was already stiff, and he fell down as soon as he stepped out of his leg, but he still continued to crawl forward, and after grabbing the recruit, Li Wu squatted on the ground and carried the recruit on his back, stood up with great difficulty, and continued to stand next to the boundary monument.

At this time, the voice of the instructor came from behind them, and the instructor and the soldier ran towards them while shouting: "Company commander! The government of country A has agreed to hold border talks! They want to talk to you by name............"

The company commander didn't seem to hear the instructor's shout, still still motionless, and did not answer the instructor, he looked up at the sky with a somewhat blurred vision, in the sky, the rain for some reason, suddenly stopped, the gray clouds began to disperse, the sunlight through one of the gaps, shining on the soldiers of country Z who were still standing, and also shining on the boundary monument beside them, on the boundary monument, the majestic and inviolable national emblem shined more radiantly..............................
