No one spoke, everyone looked at each other, and there was no coughing sound in the car. Platoon Commander Wang stood up, looked around, and found that the strafing of the plane just now did not hit their trunk. I don't know if anyone was injured in that car box, and how many were injured. He looked out with the trunk of the car, and according to the terrain, he judged that the train would enter Handong in a few minutes, and it would be safe. Suddenly, he saw two more planes coming towards the train they were on, and the planes were getting closer and closer. He saw clearly that these were two American Mustang bombers. The train driver also seemed to see the plane, and the front of the locomotive was swishing, swishing, and emitting steam, trying to block the view of the plane, and the locomotive drove at full horsepower as if it was crazy. Everyone prayed in their hearts for the train, hurry, hurry, and seeing that the front of the train had entered Handong, the whole body entered in an instant. But the plane is much faster than the train, because the plane is low, you can see the pilot of the plane, the high nose, the blue eyes. A few* were dropped in an instant. Most of the trains had already passed through Handong, and only the last two cars were blown up, igniting a raging fire. The front of the locomotive dragged the whole train, and the burning trunk entered Handong. The two bombers of the U.S. Army, seeing that the train had entered the Handong, had nothing to do, so they drew a circle outward, turned back and dumped all the * into the Handong Cave, causing the Handong Cave Entrance to collapse, and the huge mountain rocks and gravel and miscellaneous soil blocked the Handong Cave Entrance tightly.

The train dragged a fire dragon into the cave, and the wind brought up the dust and leaves scattered on both sides of the railway. The car box that caught fire behind it, the fire borrowed the wind, the wind borrowed the fire, the more prosperous it became, and the place where it passed, illuminated the cave. Although the driver applied the emergency brakes, the huge inertia still pushed the car forward for dozens of meters before stopping. Everyone jumped out of the trunk in a panic, ran in the direction of the front of the car, some ran backwards in a daze, ran a few steps and saw the fire, and then turned around and ran back, and the whole Handong was in chaos. After Liang Guocheng jumped out of the car, he kept following Platoon Leader Wang and running forward with the crowd. After running a few steps, I subconsciously glanced back and saw a few people jumping out of the burning car box. People with a small area on fire on their bodies beat themselves to extinguish the fire, and people with a large area on fire run wildly for unknown reasons, and then lie on the ground and roll. He dragged Platoon Commander Wang, pointed to the back, and the two of them ran towards the person who was on fire behind him at the same time. Because he had no tools to put out the fire, he took off his cotton military uniform while running. Liang Guocheng ran to the soldier who was on fire, rolling on the ground, dancing wildly with his hands, and crying, threw the cotton military uniform on the burning soldier, slapped it hard, and the fire on the soldier's body was quickly extinguished. He turned to another warrior who was on fire. Platoon Commander Wang also used the same method to extinguish the fire on the three soldiers. At this time, some people rushed over from the car in front, and everyone worked together to quickly extinguish the fire of several soldiers who were on fire.

There was a chaos in front of the train, because of the fire behind the car, everyone ran forward, the commander of the train, Jiao Tuan, with a few soldiers, tried to dissuade him, and the panicked crowd couldn't persuade him at all. Helplessly, they lined up as a wall and blocked the front, the people in front were blocked, and the people behind didn't know the reason in front, so they couldn't get by, and they desperately squeezed forward, causing even more chaos. Commander Jiao is a veteran of more than 10 years and has rich battlefield experience, and he knows that the US military planes have discovered the volunteer personnel carriers, and they will not give up lightly, and more planes will bomb them. If inexperienced recruits are allowed to rush out of the cave at this time, it will cause more unnecessary casualties. If someone in front of you accidentally falls, and the person behind who doesn't know the situation in front will push the person in front of him to step on the person who fell, and the person who fell may be trampled to death, and the consequences will be unimaginable. In order not to cause a more serious stampede, Commander Jiao pulled out a pistol from the holster on his waist and fired a shot into the air. The sound of gunfire echoed in the Handong, where there was only one exit left, and it was deafening, and the crowd stirred for a moment, and soon fell silent. Captain Jiao seized on this brief silence, and was about to comfort and encourage the crowd more, when more explosions sounded on the roof outside the cave. Commander Jiao knew that this was another round of bombing by US planes. Then the roof of the cave fell sparsely and fell down with broken earth and small stones, falling more and more, and finally there was a muffled rumbling sound of the stones breaking. Seeing that Handong is about to collapse, the situation is very critical.

Captain Jiao was sweating profusely, his hands danced wildly, and he shouted loudly: "Stand back, go back quickly, this place is going to collapse!" ”

The people in front sensed the danger of falling rubble and began to retreat, while the people behind couldn't feel or see the danger in front of them in this black hole, and retreated very slowly. Captain Jiao saw that the gravel was falling more and more, and it was falling faster and faster, and the retreating crowd couldn't speed up no matter how much they shouted, so they fired two more shots into the sky. The chaotic crowd seemed to sense danger and ran. At the same time, the gravel on the roof of the cave was mixed with a large bunch of stones, and it also fell faster and faster. Finally, with a loud muffled sound, the roof of the cave collapsed in the echo of rumbling.

The collapse of the roof of the cave blocked the front of the cave, and the light in the cave dimmed suddenly, and the whole cave seemed to be sealed, except for the light of the burning carriage behind. The dust caused by the collapse was like a shock wave generated by *, pushing the crowd forward and instantly enveloping the entire Handong, and people couldn't see people's faces clearly on the opposite side, and even the carriage that was on fire behind it was just a red halo.

The crowd ran backwards in a panic and ran to the burning carriage, where the raging fire blocked the way and stopped. Panic and danger pervaded the entire cave, and the recruits scurried around like headless flies. There was a fire behind the collapse in front, some couldn't run forward and turned back, some ran backwards and were blocked by the fire, and turned around and ran in the direction of the front of the car. When the crowd ran to the back of the car, the carriage with fire was lit up and had a sense of direction, although there were rails and sleepers under their feet, so as not to fall people down; When the crowd ran in the direction of the front of the car, the collapsed place blocked the light, and their own reflection blocked the fire behind them, and they couldn't see their feet, but just ran wildly with the people in front of them. Liang Guocheng and Platoon Leader Wang were scattered by the crowd and also ran with the crowd. He saw someone in front of him tripping, and the person behind him tripped over the person who fell in front of him. He ran to him, stretched out his hand to pull up the one who had just fallen, and was about to reach out to pull the others, when the crowd that followed stepped on the fallen man. In his life, Liang Guocheng has never seen people go crazy and lose their minds in panic under fear and panic. The crowd continued to run forward to the collapsed place, and the people in front of them lay down the slope of the collapsed rocky soil, and when they reached the top, they howled in despair when they saw that the collapsed stone and soil had sealed the roof of the cave. The howl of a person in despair is not like the kind of cry that usually encounters something, from high to low, with some trills; It's a straight voice, from the time it is made to the time it stops, the voice is all one width, and it sounds so penetrating, like the ghost cry of legend. The person who squeezed in behind couldn't see the situation above clearly and continued to lie up, touching the feet of the person in front of him and stopping. More and more people are surging, seeing that the people in front of them are not moving, there is a shouting and scolding, some people simply step on the people to lie up, followed by the people who step on the people to lie up, like stacking Arhats, layer by layer. The people below couldn't breathe, couldn't stand it, desperately tried to stand up, and couldn't move at all. The crowd went up more and more, and finally the support under it could not be supported, and they rolled down from above, some broke their heads, and some fell and injured their bodies. The people who rolled down, ignoring the wounds on their bodies, climbed up again, until Commander Jiao came over with the torches of the substitute soldiers, and stopped the chaos.

The substitutes stood in two rows at the landslide, took the recruits on the slope one by one, and sat down by the edge of the hole. Then lift down the wounded warrior who was crushed underneath, and finally lift down the two corpses. Although they immediately rescued him, cardiac resuscitation and artificial respiration did not save the young man's life. Commander Jiao stood there and watched them rescue, falling into deep self-blame, these people with the belief of "resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, defending the homeland and defending the country", set foot on the land of North Korea, a foreign land, have not yet entered the battlefield, have not fought with the enemy, and died under the crowding and trampling of their own people. He has been a soldier for so many years, especially when he came to North Korea, it is common for enemy planes to bomb a few times, and today's emergencies; Although it was sudden, from the two carriages after the US plane exploded into flames, this kind of stampede should have been foreseen by him, and if he had foreseen it in advance, it should not have happened.

In the entire Handong, except for the car that caught fire at the rear of the train, it was the bright light emitted by the torches held by the soldiers. The burning carriage was far away, and all the eyes were fixed on the torches of the substitutes. They can see from the fact that they carry the wounded, how they carry the dead, how they deal with the wounded, and how they rescue the dead. No one spoke, not even coughing, hundreds of people could still hear the breathing of the people next to them in the Handong, only the sound and echo of the footsteps of the soldiers saving people in the Handong.

Suddenly, from the back of the crowd, no one noticed, there was a miserable cry. Everyone turned their heads to look, and they couldn't see who he was in the dark. Until the soldier came over with a torch, his dusty face and tears made his little eyelids look like a face in a singing opera. It seems that he has been crying quietly for a while, and his eyes are a little red and swollen. Dai Bing thought he was injured, so he hurriedly squatted down and held his shoulders and asked kindly, "Is it injured, it hurts there?" ”

Seeing the soldiers coming, he cried even louder, and cried in a trembling voice: "I want to go home!" ”

The recruits, who had not yet recovered from their panic and fear, were infected by the sudden cry and released at once. Many people cried, and the whole Handong was full of crying, which was heartbreaking.

Commander Jiao didn't stop it, the nervousness of the recruits before they went to the battlefield, the entanglement in his heart, the panic after hearing the gunshots, and the sudden incident, he saw a lot of that kind of determined look. He asked the soldiers to stand in a row, and the torches were lit up, so that everyone could relax and cry casually, and released all their moods. After a while, the crying slowly stopped and became a sob.
