Towards evening, when it was just getting dark, I noticed through the telescope that a small forest appeared in front of me. This is the hope of the entire unit, and in addition to being able to hide from the bombing of enemy aircraft, this is also the camping ground of the troops. He urged the warriors to move quickly, but the tired warriors could not speed up. When the troops slowly walked to a few dozen meters from the woods, there was a rumbling sound in the sky. Knowing from experience, he heard the sound of a bomber, hurriedly urged his troops, and immediately ran into the woods. Exhausted, he seemed to speed up and ran towards the woods. The plane became louder and louder, and soon flew over against the treetops, the situation came too suddenly, and Jiao Tuan shouted: "Lie down, all lie down!" The roar of the planes drowned out his voice, and he dropped one by one*. * The sound of the explosion resounded in the sky, and some soldiers were instantly blown up several meters high and fell heavily to the ground. The wind blew away the smoke of gunpowder, and the blood of the scattered corpses reflected in the bloody ground, and the wounded soldiers were crying in pain. The scene was chaotic, and the recruits were overwhelmed by the loud explosion, some ran straight into the woods, some ran halfway back again, and some were stunned by the explosion and stood there looking at the wounded soldiers.

Commander Jiao broke out in a cold sweat and shouted loudly: "Don't worry about the sacrifices first, take the wounded and go into the woods immediately!" ”

Everyone had just entered the woods, and the plane flew back in a circle, probably no one could be seen, and a few * were thrown and flew away. Based on his experience, Commander Jiao believed that the plane would not come back for the time being, so he divided the soldiers into two groups, one group to take care of the wounded, and the other group to go out of the woods to collect the bodies of the sacrifices. Because of Liang Guocheng's command in Handong, Commander Jiao had special trust in him, and regarded him as a leader of the troops, and assigned him to collect the body. This is what Liang Guocheng is most worried about, he has been afraid of the dead since he was a child, and now the person who lets him die is the one who is killed, the flesh and blood are flying, and the stumps are incomplete. He tried his best to follow the others, trying to lift the lower half of his body when he wanted to carry the corpse, twisting his head without looking at his face; He felt that the person killed by the explosion must have stared at the eyes of horror, and his face was covered in blood and scarred. Platoon Commander Wang caught up from behind, saw his thoughts, and hurried ahead of him. Liang Guocheng is sincerely grateful. They walked over to a warrior whose waist had exploded, his intestines flowed out, and his right arm had been blown off, killing him. Platoon Commander Wang stood beside the sacrificial soldier and hesitated, worried that Liang Guocheng would be afraid, and told him to follow the direction of the blast to find the soldier's blown up hand. After Liang Guocheng left, Platoon Commander Wang squatted down and wanted to press the intestines of the sacrificed soldier back into his stomach. When I grabbed it with my hand, I found that the soldier's intestines and blood were frozen together with the snow on the ground, and they were inseparable. He had no choice but to dig up a piece of snow, and even the intestines of the people and the snow on the ground pressed against the wounds of the sacrificed soldiers. He grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and wiped the blood from the soldier's face, which was the best consolation for the sacrificed comrades on the battlefield. At this time, Liang Guocheng came back with a mutilated palm with only two fingers between his two fingers. Platoon Commander Wang took his palm without saying a word and put it on the soldier's chest, both of them were in a heavy mood, and carried the sacrificed comrades back to the woods one after the other. Commander Jiao ordered the number of casualties to be counted, three people were killed, five were seriously wounded, and eleven people were lightly wounded. The recruits who had not gone through the tragic war gathered around curiously, and saw that the bodies of the sacrificed comrades were mutilated and covered in blood, and their mood dropped to freezing point, and they couldn't speak with their mouths wide open.

Commander Jiao was worried that the recruits had not seen the battlefield killing, which would affect everyone's mood, and said, "What are you doing around, disperse!" ”

It was also dark, and it was dark early in the cold winter, and the time was not until half past six, and if it were not for the reflection of the snow on the ground, it would have been dark. Commander Jiao stood there, looking at the soldiers sitting on the snow, and his heart was anxious. In the winter in the north, as soon as the sun sets, the temperature begins to drop, and it will drop sharply after dark, and the soldiers have not eaten or slept much for three days and two nights. Just as he was hesitating, the communicator ran over with a walkie-talkie, took the microphone in front of him, and whispered, "Regiment Commander, Zhiji phone." ”

Commander Jiao picked up the phone and couldn't wait to report all the situations encountered along the way, and now he was facing the special situation that the soldiers had no food in their stomachs tonight, the temperature was too low, and they might freeze to death. The chief of the Shiji expressed his understanding, asked him where he was, and told him that a convoy of cars had been dispatched, and according to the map, it would take four or five hours to arrive.

"The soldiers have not eaten or slept much for days and nights, and if they wait for a few hours in this icy woods, they will freeze to death if they fall asleep." Captain Jiao was anxious, and he couldn't get angry.

The head of the Zhi Division said: "The soldiers of our front-line troops also have frostbite and freeze to death! ”

"In order not to freeze to death, I can only urge the troops to continue to move forward."

"Yes." The chief said: "I urge the team to speed up, and you also adjust the frequency to keep in touch with the team." ”

Commander Jiao put down the phone and felt a sense of urgency as he looked at these soldiers who were asleep sitting on the snow leaning against the trees. After leading the army for so many years, he knew that if he could last four hours with a full meal in such a special cold temperature, it would be difficult to last for an hour with an empty stomach. He summoned the soldiers together, and told them that the car would come to pick them up in four to five hours, and that there was a possibility that people would freeze to death. Then the order was given to those who led the troops, and the various organizations and carriages were immediately assembled. The assembly is just an order for the veteran. But the recruits, especially those who were tired to the limit, called one after another, woke up this one, called the second, and the other fell asleep again; In the end, I had no choice but to drag them up one by one, and some of them stood against the tree and snored. It was easy for the team to assemble, and Captain Jiao ordered to set off immediately. He didn't speak, and no one could hear him. The troops lined up in two columns in the open field, one foot deep and one foot shallow, moving forward at an extremely slow pace. The soldier who led the soldiers followed closely in front of him, and when he saw that he slipped and fell, he immediately ran over to help him up, and if he helped slowly, the back stopped, and then the people behind did not know why the front stopped, so he immediately sat down, and then the one behind saw the front one sit down, and then sat down immediately after him, and the whole team sat down. It takes a long time to toss before you can continue on your way. It was one o'clock in the evening, and it was time for Jiao Tuan's convoy to arrive. Contacted by walkie-talkie, the convoy got stuck in a snow pit and would take another hour to arrive. One or two o'clock in the evening is the coldest time of the day, and even if you think about the cold air these days, it is estimated that it is minus 40 degrees. He felt that in such a low temperature, if a person sat still, he would freeze to death in less than half an hour. The troops have been on the march for several hours, and they should rest twice according to the regular march, but how can they ensure that the soldiers do not fall asleep after resting? The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has always had a tradition of relying on its backbone on the domestic battlefield, and it is its backbone who leads the troops. He ordered the soldiers to rest in place for fifteen minutes, and those who led the soldiers could not rest, and were responsible for monitoring, so that not a single soldier could fall asleep. After the break, the team was assembled, which became the longest and most difficult time since Commander Jiao became a commander. The soldiers were not asleep and were dazed as if they were not asleep, telling the troops to assemble, and their mouths agreed, but their brains were still confused. He was pulled to his feet, then sat down again, pulled him up again, leaned against the tree, closed his eyes, and was confused. Commander Jiao took advantage of the reflection of the snow and looked at the table below, and after half an hour, the troops were still sparse. He can understand the soldier who is tired to the limit, he also joined the army at the age of seventeen and gradually grew into a commander in the war. He felt that it would be difficult for his troops to move any further. He picked up the binoculars in the hope of seeing the convoy that picked them up, and sure enough, he saw a few strings of lights in the distance. He didn't believe his eyes a little, handed the telescope to the soldier beside him, and after confirming that it was a car, the big stone that weighed on his heart along the way finally fell to the ground. As the car got closer and closer, the soldiers lost their sleepiness, and the sound of jubilation resounded throughout the land.
