Chapter Twenty-Nine: All Stunned
"Sun Lei, you kid is squatting in front of Comrade Li Dequan, why are you still in a daze, hurry up Comrade Li Dequan, our squad is the 'sharp knife squad' in the company, and the combat task it is responsible for is very arduous, how can you do it without Comrade Li Dequan, don't be stunned, hurry up and rush over with Comrade Li Dequan."
On the high ground on the south side, Niu Tiezhu, the leader of the first platoon and one squad of the third company of the Volunteer Army, lay on the position of their squad, stretched out his hand and pointed at Sun Lei, who was more than 100 meters away, squatting in place, and urged loudly with an anxious tone.
Although Sun Lei is a retired special forces soldier who traveled back to 70 years ago from the 21st century, it is really the first time for him to see his comrades-in-arms who fought with them in this kind of cold and harsh weather, and suddenly they were frozen to death, which made him psychologically unacceptable.
After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Sun Lei was awakened by the loud voice of the squad leader Niu Tiezhu, he didn't have time to think about it, so he turned around and rushed to the position where their squad was more than 100 meters away, and responded loudly with a somewhat pathetic tone: "Squad leader Niu, and other comrades-in-arms of the first class, this Comrade Li Dequan of our class, he was frozen to death, his whole body became cold, and there was no trace of breath." ”
Hearing Sun Lei's words, the soldiers of the squad who stayed on the position all froze for a moment, and then Niu Tiezhu, who was the squad leader, took the lead in reacting, and shouted loudly at Sun Lei angrily: "Sun Lei, where the hell are you so young to deceive your comrades."
"As the squad leader, it is necessary for me to remind you that the combat mission we are connected to is very arduous, and the big war is imminent, if you kid dare to make such a joke again, believe it or not, I don't need to ask the platoon commander and company commander to have the right to shoot you with one shot.
"Hurry up, take Li Dequan and the two of you back to our position in the town, don't fucking play such an inappropriate joke on Lao Tzu somewhere. For the sake of your kid being a first-time offender, I can not pursue it. ”
Regarding the coercive and seductive words said by squad leader Niu Tiezhu, it was obvious that Sun Lei would not change his mind, and he still insisted on his own opinion and said: "Squad leader Niu, I didn't joke with you and the other soldiers in our class, what I said is true."
"Comrade Li Dequan was indeed frozen to death, if you don't believe it, you can come and touch Comrade Li Dequan's body temperature in person, and then see if he still has breath, so that it will be clear at a glance, and you will not have to continue to say that I am deliberately deceiving you and the other soldiers in our class."
At first, the other fighters in the first class, except for Deng Sanshui, almost unanimously agreed that Sun Lei was just joking with the squad leader and them again, Li Dequan was still alive before, how could he be frozen to death, they didn't believe it at all.
However, after listening to Sun Lei's last words, these soldiers suddenly felt that Sun Lei didn't seem to be joking, maybe Li Dequan really had the possibility of being frozen to death, so they were suspicious one by one, and finally pinned their hopes on their squad leader Niu Tezhu.
So, all the soldiers who stayed on the battlefield turned their eyes to the squad leader Niu Tiezhu, hoping that they could go over to check and see if what Sun Lei just said was true or false.
In any case, a soldier in their squad who was still physically strong was frozen to death, and in the eyes of the soldiers of the first class, it was definitely a big thing, and it should not be underestimated.
You must know that a veteran soldier with excellent physical fitness like Li Dequan has been a soldier in the first platoon of the third company for two years, and he will freeze to death in this severe cold weather of more than 20 degrees below zero, not to mention that there are six recruits who have just been conscripted into the army for more than two months in their first class, so they are naturally more or less worried in their hearts.
Seeing the soldiers lying on the snow, they all turned their eyes to themselves, and Niu Tiezhu, the squad leader who was still very tough just now, felt that if he didn't rush over to find out in person, I am afraid he would not be able to explain to these soldiers in the class.
Thinking of this, Niu Tiezhu can be said to be a person as his name, he is like a rhinoceros running on the snow, in less than fifteen seconds, he is deep in the snow on his feet and neck, and trotted all the way to Sun Lei.
When Niu Tiezhu used his warm big hands to caress the cheek of Li Dequan, who had been sitting on the marching backpack, he felt extremely cold, and then put his hand into Li Dequan's chest inside the military uniform, it was still cold, without the slightest temperature.
Later, when Niu Tiezhu put the index finger of his left hand in front of Li Dequan's two nostrils, he paused for half a minute, but he didn't feel even a trace of breath, and he was indeed out of breath.
After learning of this situation, Niu Tiezhu, who had always been known for his courage and fear of death in the company, showed a shocked look on his face at this time, and felt that this was simply incredible.
Half an hour ago, Li Dequan, a soldier in the first class, was still a big living person, and less than an hour had passed, and Li Dequan was frozen to death.
Even if Niu Tiezhu claimed to have fought more than 30 battles in China for the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, it was the first time he saw that his comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with him would be frozen to death, and in the face of this sensational result, he was naturally unacceptable in a short period of time.
Facing Li Dequan's cold and stiff corpse, Niu Tiezhu, whose eyes were wet, couldn't help but shake his head while sighing.
And those soldiers who stayed on the battlefield saw the expression on their squad leader Niu Tiezhu's cheeks at this moment, and the posture of shaking his head slightly, and suddenly let them know that it was unacceptable and unwilling to believe that this was really bad news.
That is Li Dequan, a veteran who fought side by side with them, as Sun Lei repeatedly emphasized just now, was frozen to death.
And when these soldiers learned of this situation, they were all shocked, and they thought it was incredible. At the same time, they faintly felt a hint of foreboding in their hearts, that is, maybe the next person to freeze to death might happen among them.
People can't be resurrected after death, but they can't just be in the wilderness, so Niu Tiezhu and Sun Lei and the two of them put Li Dequan's frozen and stiff body on the snow.
In this way, the two of them carried Li Dequan's body with both hands, stepped on the deep and thick snow, and walked towards the position guarded by their group more than 100 meters away.
Because all the soldiers in their class unanimously decided that after this battle was over, they would give their comrade-in-arms Li Dequan a good place to bury him.
In fact, on the Korean battlefield, it was common for volunteer soldiers like Li Dequan to freeze to death because they were frozen to death, and later for the volunteer soldiers who could survive, this was no surprise and became a common thing.
