On Guangming Ridge, the snowflakes were fluttering, Li Siwei looked up at the night sky, letting the snowflakes hit his face, icy, wet, and there was a slight tingling sensation, which made his anger gradually extinguished!

Angry! Angry! The enemy is strong and I am weak, we must endure!

"Platoon commander!" A young man stumbled over, hugged Wei Zheng's corpse and cried bitterly, "Platoon commander...... You can't die, you said you would take us back to your hometown in the Northeast......"

Li Siwei wiped a handful of tears, leaned over, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and staggered away...... The dead are gone, and all I can do is to try to live with my living brother.

In this battle, sixteen were killed and thirty-three were seriously wounded...... Although the casualties of the little devils far exceeded this number, Li Siwei was not relaxed at all. There are still thousands of little devils under the mountain, and they have no reinforcements except for these two hundred brothers, and they have run out of gasoline.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the fire on the hillside was gradually extinguished.

After settling the wounded and collecting the bodies of the dead brothers, everyone silently hid back in the cat's ear hole, and there was a dead silence in the trenches.

The dawn dawned, the light triumphed over the darkness, and a voice rang out in the trenches, "The little devil ran away, the little devil ran away......"

Li Siwei woke up in shock, hurriedly got into the lookout post, and looked around, only to see snowflakes fluttering between heaven and earth, the earth was covered with a thick layer of snow, where was there still the shadow of a little devil in the field?

Huang Hua followed and said with a smile: "Damn, God can't stand it, so it will snow so much......"

Li Siwei silently looked at the south...... At this time, has it snowed in Nanjing?

The three company commanders all ran over, and Liao Heiniu said with excitement on his face, "Cannon, it's okay now, brothers don't have to suffer from the cold here." ”

Li Siwei glanced back at everyone and shook his head gently, "Let the brothers hold on a little longer, I'm afraid that the little devil will kill him...... Clean up the battlefield first. ”

"Okay," the three agreed, and left happily, there are a lot of good things on the little devil!

He Huzi came over quickly, and before he could get down to the trench, he shouted, "Li Cannon, where is Li Cannon?" ”

Li Siwei climbed up from the bottom of the hill and ran to He Huzi, "Hello regiment leader, what are you looking for me?" ”

He Huzi looked him up and down, laughed and said, "Damn, you doll is doing a good job...... Report the results of the battle, and Lao Tzu will give you credit. ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reported: "Report to the chief, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion lost sixteen people, seriously injured thirty-three people, and killed three hundred and ninety-two devils. ”

"If you want to win, you want to win," He Huzi patted Li Siwei's shoulder heavily and sighed: "If all the troops can fight like you, where can the little devil dare to be so rampant!" ”

Li Siwei was silent, the first battalion was a veteran of a hundred battles, and with the correct tactics, he could have such a result. But...... How many veterans are left in the current army? In the first battle of Songhu, too many elites were sacrificed! That battle played out the integrity of the Chinese people, and also hurt the foundation of the national army.

The order to retreat did not come down, and the garrison command sent people to deliver bedding and coal.

The leader was a colonel officer, who looked at Li Siwei for a while, and his tone was kind, "Battalion Commander Li has a good command, and this battle has been hard work, and the commander has already reported to Shangfeng and asked for credit for you." ”

Li Siwei hurriedly said modestly: "It's all up to the brothers to fight bravely to kill the enemy......"

"Battalion Commander Li, don't be modest," the officer smiled and waved his hand, "All the brothers are heroic, but there are not many who can lead the brothers to victory...... It's just that I have to let my brothers freeze here. ”

Li Siwei hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you for your compassion, with bedding and coal, the brothers can't freeze." ”

The officer sighed, "There's only so much we can do......"

After cleaning the battlefield and clearing the snow in the trenches, the soldiers raised a few fires, sat together, roasted the fire, and chatted, but it was rare to enjoy a temporary peace in this snowy day.

There was also a pile of charcoal burning in the air-raid shelter, Ning Rou was busy treating the wounded, and Wei Yidao and several brothers from the cooking class were helping her.

Li Siwei walked to the entrance of the cave gently, and suddenly his body stiffened, the air-raid shelter was already overcrowded, some of the wounded were unconscious, and some of the wounded were moaning in pain...... The smell of blood was in the air.

Li Siwei knows that under such medical conditions, serious injury means death...... However, who could watch his brother die in such agony?

Ning Rou was already tired and sweating, but she was the only doctor here, and no one could share her work.

Basins of boiling water came in, and soon they came out again, and the clear water had turned into blood water.

Li Siwei gently walked over to a warrior with a broken leg, his eyes closed, his face covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and his chapped lips still gently opening and closing...... Li Siwei recognized him, a young man from the Northeast, named Liu Quanfu.

Li Siwei leaned over, put his ear close to his mouth, and vaguely heard a voice, "Kill...... Kill ......"

Li Siwei's nose was sour, he took his hand, held it tightly in his palm, and said softly, "Brother...... Survive, you must survive, survive to kill the devil......"

The hand suddenly moved, and Liu Quanfu slowly opened his eyes and stared at Li Siwei in a daze.

Li Siwei was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, brother......"

Liu Quanfu's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened a little, his chapped lips opened and closed gently, and Li Siwei hurriedly bowed his head to listen.

"Battalion...... Battalion commander, "Liu Quanfu is like a mosquito and a fly," the array ...... Positional ......"

Li Siwei hurriedly said: "The position is not lost, the position is not lost, it is snowing, and the little devil has run away......"

Liu Quanfu showed a smile on his face, "Old ...... God...... It's all ...... Help us ......."

"Yes, yes," Li Siwei nodded hurriedly, "God is the God of our Chinese, he will definitely help us, God is helping us, what are we afraid of?" Brother, you take good care of your injuries, heal your injuries, and continue to kill devils......"

Liu Quanfu's head moved slightly, "Camp...... Long...... I...... No more...... You...... Want...... To help...... I...... Kill a few more...... Little devil! ”

Li Siwei hurriedly said: "Brother, you can't just give up, you have to live ......"

"Battalion...... Long ......" Li Quanfu's eyes gradually dimmed, and the smile on his face froze.

Li Siwei held the hand that was getting cold tightly, and the tears still couldn't stop slipping......

"Battalion...... Long," a wounded man next to him looked at Li Siwei and said softly, "No...... Thing, he ...... It's also a relief...... Alive...... It hurts...... "This is a tall middle-aged man, covered in bandages, and still oozing blood...... Li Siwei also remembered that his name was Luo Ping'an, a Shaanxi man.

Li Siwei blinked vigorously, squeezed away the tears, turned his head to look at him and nodded, sighing, "You guys...... Suffered! Our conditions were so poor......"

"No...... It's not bitter," Luo Ping'an smiled, "follow...... With you, I ...... It's worth it! ”

Li Siwei's heart trembled, he was secretly ashamed, and looked at Luo Ping'an speechless.

"Follow...... Your ...... There is meat to eat," Luo Ping'an's face smiled, "You still ...... Take us to ...... Fought several victories...... I think...... It's worth ......"

"Brother, don't say it," Li Siwei shook his head vigorously, "Don't say it, take care of your injuries......"

"No......" Luo Ping'an was still smiling, his eyes gradually brightened, "I can't...... No...... Drag you down......"

Li Siwei was shocked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Give...... Give me ...... Let's have a good time. Luo Ping'an stared at Li Siwei tightly, "I beg you...... Next...... I...... Still...... Return your soldiers! ”

"No," Li Siwei stood up suddenly, glared at him and roared, "You want to give Lao Tzu a life, Lao Tzu won't allow you to die......" He couldn't help but think of Lu Erdan in that small village in Tangshan.

Everyone was shocked and looked over, and Ning Rou hurriedly walked over, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned, looked at her, and was speechless.

Luo Ping'an looked at Ning Rou and tried to raise his voice, "Ning ...... Doctor, you ...... Just let the battalion commander ...... Give me ...... Let's have a good time...... I...... Don't want to live ...... It hurts so much......"

Ning Rou's eyes turned red, and she glared at Luo Ping'an and shouted loudly: "No, do you want to be a deserter?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Luo Ping'an avoided Ning Rou's eyes, and said sneeringly: "I ...... Don't want to...... Drag everyone down. ”

"You ......" Ning Rou looked at Luo Ping'an in a daze, and said with tears in her eyes: "You didn't drag everyone down...... You're not badly injured, and you'll be fine with a period of rest...... When the time comes, you will have to help everyone kill the devils. ”

"You...... Don't lie to me...... "Luo Ping'an left two lines of tears," I ...... ...... Couldn't be better......"

Ning Rou was silently speechless and gently skimmed her head.

Li Siwei's heart sank, and he knew from Ning Rou's reaction that what Luo Ping'an said was true.

Li Siwei took a step forward, grabbed Ning Rou's thin shoulders tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "He ......"

Ning Rou glanced at him, her eyes were red, "His knife wound is not a big problem, but there are a few shrapnel...... Maybe it's in the stomach...... The conditions here...... I can't do surgery......"

Li Siwei hurriedly asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Ning Rou hesitated, "There is still medicine, mainly the light ......"

Li Siwei turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave, "Huanghua." ”

Huang Hua hurriedly ran over, "Sir, what's the matter?" ”

Li Siwei said loudly: "Take a few brothers to find ...... Forget it, I'll go with you. ”

After that, Li Siwei turned around and said to the wounded: "Don't think about Lao Tzu to die...... If a turtle wants to die again, Lao Tzu will treat him as a deserter...... Lao Tzu knows that you are in pain, Lao Tzu is also in pain, do you know that your words are like knives, cutting Lao Tzu's heart...... You have to wait for Lao Tzu. ”

Li Siwei hurriedly returned to Guangming with more than a dozen brothers, and Guangming had a very small field hospital, and Li Siwei went straight there with the last glimmer of hope!

As soon as Li Siwei entered the courtyard gate, his heart sank. The courtyard was full of wounded, and only three or five nurse-like women were busy shuttling around...... Li Siwei had to smile bitterly to himself, the 26th Division did not have a field hospital at all, let alone the 66th Division, which was temporarily formed? It is not easy to pull up such a field hospital.

It would be nice to get some medicine and surgical equipment! Li Siwei walked up the steps with a hard head, and just as he reached out to touch the white curtain, a frightened female voice suddenly sounded in the room, "Doctor Qu has fainted, come on, Doctor Qu has fainted." ”

I could only hear the sound of chaotic footsteps in the room, and a man hurriedly said, "Hurry up and help Dr. Qu to the bed, he hasn't closed his eyes for a day and a night......"

A female voice hesitated, "Doctor Zhang...... You can take a break, too. ”

Dr. Zhang said, "I'm fine...... There are so many soldiers waiting for surgery. ”

"But you haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night...... "if you ......fall again There's no one to operate on them......"

Dr. Zhang sighed, "I'm fine...... It's just that...... There are too many wounded...... There are not enough medicines......"

Li Siwei sighed secretly, shook his hand helplessly, turned around and went down the steps, and strode out of the courtyard.

Huang Hua hurriedly followed, "Sir, what should I do?" ”

"Let's go, follow Lao Tzu to find oil lamps and mirrors," Li Siwei strode forward and went straight into a compound.

He vaguely remembered that there was a little story about Edison using a mirror and an oil lamp to help the doctor operate, although some people thought that the story was apocryphal, but Li Siwei couldn't care so much at this time! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will give it a try!

Oil lamps are easy to find, and every household has them, but mirrors can only be found in large households.

Li Siwei hurriedly walked out of the Guangming Set with a group of brothers holding oil lamps and mirrors, and happened to run into General Guan and his party.

General Guan immediately stopped him and asked with a gloomy face, "Li Cannon, who asked you to leave your post without permission?" ”

Li Siwei hurriedly saluted, "Commander, the brothers are still lying on the battlefield waiting to die!" Despicable to find something to help them operate......"

"Nonsense!" General Guan was furious, "What surgery can you do?" ”

A staff officer hurriedly played a round, "Battalion Commander Li, if there are wounded, you can send them to our field hospital." ”

Li Siwei glanced at him, "I originally wanted to send them over, but ...... The field hospital was full of wounded, just two doctors, and there were not enough medicines...... The brothers are too badly injured to toss back and forth! ”

"Alas," General Guan sighed, looked at Li Siwei, and his tone softened, "It's because we are not fully prepared!" ”

Another staff officer also sighed: "There are battles everywhere, there are wounded everywhere, there is a shortage of medical treatment everywhere...... There's no way around it...... We can only try to save those who still have hope of being saved......"

Li Siwei looked at General Guan and said in a deep voice: "Commander, I understand...... However, I can't watch my brothers wait for death, they are bleeding desperately for this country......"

"Let's go," General Guan closed his eyes and waved his hand weakly, "Even if they save a life, they can't save it...... This is war, and someone has to make sacrifices. ”

Li Siwei hurriedly returned to Guangming Ridge with everyone and went straight into the air-raid shelter.

Everyone worked together, more than a dozen oil lamps were lit, and the mirrors were adjusted to isolate a simple operating position.

Ning Rou and the brothers who acted as assistants got busy, and basins of boiling water came in, which soon turned into blood and went out, and fell into the snow, dyeing the dazzling white snow red.

Li Siwei sat at the entrance of the cave, looking at the fluttering snowflakes in a daze! What an era this is! In such an environment, these simple brothers of the national army are still fighting to the death against the enemy!

Li Siwei's heart swelled with enthusiasm, because of such unyielding heroic sons and daughters as them, China will not die! He strode out and shouted at everyone, "Sing for Lao Tzu......"

"Sing what?" Everyone was stunned.

Li Siwei has already sang: "China will not die ......"

Everyone was stunned, stood up one after another, and followed: "China will not die, China will not die......"

Snowflakes fluttered between the heavens and the earth, and in the trenches, more than two hundred men sang with tears in their eyes, copying the accents of Tiannan and Haibei, and stood in the trenches so straight, letting the snowflakes hit their hats and fall on their clothes, the snow was cold, and their hearts were hot! Blood is hot!

The song of "China will not die" echoed in the positions of the 1st Battalion, and gradually spread to the 2nd Battalion and the 4th Regiment...... Slowly, this song resounded through the Bright Ridge!

This song is the cry of the soldiers, and it is also the promise made by the Chinese nation to this sky!

At this moment, it seems that the snowflakes are fluttering even more jubilantly!
