146. Chapter 9 (2) Survivors
Zhai Mingyi was furious and overturned the military flag used by the Vietnamese army to show off his victory, and stopped the Vietnamese army who wanted to go deeper at the entrance of the cave.
"Why have you been there for so long?" Dapeng asked with some concern.
Zhai Mingyi smiled 'hehe' and roughly talked about the scene just now.
"I'm angry when I see these bunnies showing off their power there, don't give them some color to see if I really can't swallow this breath, how are we doing with these people now?"
"It's not very good, even if you count the five people who can persist in fighting, there are also a few seriously wounded, among which Chen Pai is the most seriously injured, he just bandaged it briefly, and now he is still unconscious, and several other wounded also need treatment, we have to find a way to send them out quickly, how are you?" Hurt? ”
After Dapeng said this, Zhai Mingyi remembered to get up and check himself.
It was only at this time that Zhai Mingyi felt a hot pain all over his body, mud and sweat mixed with blood wrapped around his whole body, the military uniform was full of holes of all sizes, many exposed skin in addition to the size of the blister, there were also many abrasions, blood seeped out from the surface of the wound, there was a slap burn on the thigh, and the burnt clothes and skin had been glued together.
Zhai Mingyi tried to move his arms and legs, it was not bad, except for these surface abrasions and burns, there was really no big problem, Zhai Mingyi moved again, and said: "It's okay, everything is normal, how are you all?" ”
"I'm okay, I got a cut in my leg by shrapnel, and the rest is similar to you, all of them are superficial injuries, and there is a bit of a problem with Lezi, there is a penetrating wound in my leg and stomach, and there is also a wound on my arm, but it is not serious, it doesn't hurt my muscles and bones, but his biggest problem now is that he seems to have been stunned just now, a little concussion, and he has been vomiting since he came in, and the other two brothers, one is Xiao Liu, a hygienist, who was injured in his leg and head, and Zhang Wei was injured in the shoulder."
Dapeng gave a general introduction.
Zhai Mingyi made an inspection, and the hygienist Xiao Liu was examining and bandaging some seriously injured people, but Chen Pai was still unconscious.
"How is the platoon commander's injury?" Zhai Mingyi approached Xiao Liu and asked.
"It's not good, although there are some medicine reserves here, but it's just for emergencies." Xiao Liu shook his head helplessly.
Zhai Mingyi sat weakly beside Dapeng.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out for a while, the entrance to the cave was blown up and sealed by the Vietnamese army, even if it wasn't blown up, we couldn't get out, I just went out and only took a brief look, they attacked people with nearly a company of troops, we are really lucky to be alive."
"What then? A few of us can make do with it, they can't wait that long. ”
"We have to find a new exit, these caves should not be just an exit, we can find everything that can be moved for a while, fortunately, there are enough materials and ammunition here, hurry up and prepare, even if it is blown up with explosives, we must blow up an exit."
As the two were talking, they heard Zhang Quanle's voice coming from there, "Is there water?" ”
The two hurriedly approached, and Zhai Mingyi approached, "Lezi, how is it?" Is it better? ”
Zhang Quanle's head shook slightly, staring at Zhai Mingyi in front of him with empty eyes.
"It's Da Zhai, right? Are you still alive? ”
Zhai Mingyi raised his hand and was about to give Zhang Quanle a slap, but his hand changed direction in mid-air and patted Zhang Quanle's shoulder.
"I'm still alive, you can give me a good meal, don't forget the bet we made, we'll have to count back below, this time, I'll eat you."
"That's not necessarily, let's wait and see when we ride a donkey and read the record book, and ...... then."
Zhang Quanle didn't finish speaking, his face twisted to the side, and the water he drank just now was spit out by him again.
"You can rest well, and when you recover, we will study the future, and sleep for a while."
Zhai Mingyi placed Zhang Quanle well, and Zhang Quanle really fell asleep in a groggy state.
"There should be a phone here, right?"
Zhai Mingyi seemed to be talking to himself and asking others, searching around the hole.
His words reminded the hygienists that the makeshift command post here did once have telephones and walkie-talkies, but it was not known if they were still in use.
As soon as Xu Zhijun returned to the command post, he issued several orders, ordering the positions held by the first and third companies to strengthen their vigilance, and not allowing the Vietnamese army to move forward in any case, and ordered the commander of the second company to quickly organize a reconnaissance force to find out the deployment of the Vietnamese army on the 54# heights, and at the same time train the rear team, and all the staff are ready for battle, and he wants to recapture the 54# heights in the shortest possible time.
Instructor Cheng Ping looked at Xu Zhijun, who had been full of bubbles in just one night, and comforted:
"Lao Xu, don't be too anxious, the more you get to this time, the more you have to stay calm, if you are not careful, you will pay a greater price."
Xu Zhijun smiled bitterly and nodded, "Instructor, I know, but I can't help but hurry up, recapturing the position as soon as possible is one aspect, I am more worried about the brothers above who may have withdrawn to the tunnel, as well as the wounded who were transferred to the tunnel before, if they escaped the Vietnamese army's clearance, then they may pay the price of their lives if they are delayed for one more day, do you think I am not in a hurry?" ”
"Are you sure?" The instructor was a little worried, "Now all lines are very tight, and I am afraid that we will not have enough manpower to attack the mountain, and once we can't take it, it will affect morale even more." ”
"You're right, I know in my heart, in addition to the platoon on Xiaotian above, we have a platoon here that is rotated down, and the other is a reserve, plus the reconnaissance platoon and our organ security personnel, it is almost enough for a reinforced company, this time we have to concentrate the absolute superiority of troops, and recapture the 54# heights in one go, Xiaotian They fought fiercely with the Vietnamese army for most of the day, I think the Vietnamese army attacking the mountain has also been consumed a lot, and they have no time to replenish and beat them down."
While the two of them were talking, a communications staff officer ran over.
"Battalion commander, instructor, there's news on the mountain."
"What did you say?"
The battalion commander and the instructor widened their eyes at the same time.
"You say it again?"
The two of them didn't believe their ears, although Xu Zhijun said that there might be surviving soldiers above, but in fact, he was not sure at all, it was impossible for the Vietnamese army not to clear the remnants of the enemy after occupying the 54# heights, even if they were not killed, they would be escorted to the rear as prisoners of war, the battle on the 54# heights had been over for more than two hours, and there was a sudden message coming back from above, which gave him great surprise and comfort, and also strengthened his determination to recapture the 54# heights as soon as possible.
"The signal is not very clear, it is coming back from the tunnel, there is some interference, and it is not completely certain whether it is our fighters." The communications staff officer introduced as he walked.
Under the leadership of the hygienist, Zhai Mingyi and the others found the phone, but after such intensive shelling, the telephone line had long been blown up and could not be connected at all, but here they found two walkie-talkies, but they were all broken.
This moment also reflects the value of training in the 'wolf's den' base, Zhai Mingyi and Shen Dapeng have been tinkering, and a machine has finally resumed its work, although the signal is not very clear, but after all, the signal can be sent, and the position and the command headquarters have established contact again.
After listening to Zhai Mingyi's introduction, Xu Zhijun had a general understanding of the above situation, and his mood became heavier.
The situation above was even worse than he expected, first, the Vietnamese army attacked the mountain with an unexpected number of troops, and second, those wounded were in urgent need of medical treatment.
"Do any of you know a warrior named Zhai Mingyi?"
Xu Zhijun turned around and asked, the people around him shook their heads blankly, no wonder, some of the newly replenished soldiers don't talk about them, even the people in the company are not too familiar with each other, and some people can't even name the people around them.
He asked again loudly, but still no one answered, and just as he was about to order someone to check it, there was a response from the door.
"I know."
Following the voice, everyone saw a young female soldier standing at the door with two pots of water, it was Liang Qing.
Many people in the battalion headquarters know that she is a newly assigned cadet soldier in the past few days, and she is usually very diligent, but the tight battle at the front makes people here almost ignore the existence of Liang Qing, this is a man's world, and it is amazing to be able to come to such a female soldier close to the front line.
But Liang Qing is a caring person, she summarized the conversations between those soldiers and clerks and the orders of commanders at all levels, and obtained a lot of effective information, so she can be said to know the battle on the front line well.
The news from the front is getting more and more unfavorable, I met Gao Jian and Bagen just now, I heard them say that they have received orders and will be pulled up at any time, looking at the wounded who have been transferred down one by one, Liang Qing's heart is trying his best to avoid the fact that after this battle, Zhai Mingyi, Shen Dapeng and Zhang Quanle are afraid that they will be more than lucky.
"I know Zhai Mingyi, he is from our cadet class, and he went up with a few wounded soldiers a few days ago."
As soon as she came back from fetching water, she heard the battalion commander's slightly anxious inquiry, and Liang Qing, who was in the door and outside the door, hurriedly replied, and at the same time, her heart that had been hanging on her calmed down a little, at least Zhai Mingyi was safe for the time being.
Xu Zhijun initially learned from the regiment headquarters that there was a group of cadets to be replenished to them, to be honest, he had a lot of complaints in his heart, the front line was tight, he hoped that there were soldiers with some actual combat experience, but he didn't expect that a group of recruits came, through this battle and the call just now, he felt that these cadets were not ordinary.
In such a fierce battle, every soldier who can hold on is not simple, these cadets not only persevered but also restored contact with the rear, in the process of talking to the other party, Xu Zhijun heard the calmness and calmness that did not match their age, which made him a little surprised.
After confirming Zhai Mingyi's identity, Xu Zhijun turned to order:
"Zhai Mingyi, I now order you to be temporarily responsible for it, strive to find a new passage as soon as possible, and at the same time especially protect your own safety, try to avoid direct contact with the Vietnamese army, take good care of the wounded, and contact me at any time if there is any situation."
After Xu Zhijun finished arranging, he pointed to Liang Qing at the door:
"You! Come to me in a moment, I have something to ask you. ”
