Chapter Seventy-Five, Wind and Snow

On January 1, 1932, the Japanese invaders launched a general attack on Jinzhou from three sides, and occupied Jinzhou on the 2nd. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 More than 30,000 Chinese garrisons were ordered by the Nationalist Government to withdraw into Shanhaiguan after a little resistance, and the three northeastern provinces all fell.

Of course, Qin Yuan and the others didn't know the news now, and they didn't know that their commander Zhang Shaoshuai had already come to the pass before them.

After a few days, the snow finally showed signs of melting, and Qin Yuan decided to continue south with his brothers.

In winter, the Alu Korqin grassland is full of desolate scenes. The snow is as far as the eye can see, there are no animals, no plants, not even people......

It's a very torturous thing to travel in such an environment, and on the first day, everyone was still talking and laughing, discussing the ass and breasts of the pussy.

By the third or fourth day, there was only heavy panting in the procession, and no one was willing to waste their energy on talking.

The reflection of the sun on the snow surface could not open the eyes, and everyone tried to keep their heads high and not look at the ground under their feet.

The only downside to this is that you always step on the heel of the brother in front of you.

Camping every night is the most troublesome thing for everyone, and the feeling of hunger and cold is most intense at this time.

Sometimes I couldn't find a suitable campsite, and I even had to continue walking in the dark, but fortunately, the night was actually bright under the light of snow.

Chilblains are the most common disease in this cold weather.

There are raw red spots all over the face, hands, and feet, which are painful and itchy, and it is uncomfortable. In some cases, blisters and ulcers may appear.

But there was not a single doctor in the team, and the once only veterinarian fell in the battle of the three rooms.

There was no doctor, no medicine, and the sick brother could only grit his teeth, hoping that he could get through.

The cold wind blew up the snow foam on the ground and slapped it straight on people's faces, like a knife cut, and everyone's faces were red from the cold, and even hot.

In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that "cold produces heat, and heat produces cold" is this truth.

But Qin Yuan knew that this was not a good sign.

Because the body is cold, in order to maintain body temperature, it will constantly burn fat to produce heat, so the body will heat up.

But when the body's reserves of fat and calories are depleted, people are also going to collapse!

There is no way to be in a hurry, which is the most vivid portrayal of Qin Yuan now.

He could only keep urging his brothers to speed up their pace and strive to get out of this endless prairie one day earlier.

The scarlet sunset slowly set on the ground, stretching the figures of the group of men on the grassland longer and longer, and the night was about to cover the earth.

At this time, who would know that such a group of ragged soldiers would grow into a strong force that would make the enemy fearful in the future, galloping on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, invincible!

…………

At this time, it is already the end of February, and if this season is already a scene of spring flowers in the south, it is still a cold winter on this Horqin grassland, and there is no sign of warming.

Originally, Qin Yuan and the others were about to walk out of this grassland, but a few days ago, there was a sudden snowstorm here, which made him have to stop moving forward.

The snow was heavy and windy, and it showed no signs of stopping for several days.

If it was just snowing, it would not be difficult for Qin Yuan and the others. Everyone was not born as a young master, and they have never suffered any hardships.

But when the heavy snow is matched with strong winds, the sky turns gray and white from a distance, and the snowflakes rolled up by the wind on the ground seem to be swept by a monstrous wave, which is so powerful that people can't avoid it.

The wind is so strong that it can blow people down, and the men of more than 100 catties are shaking in the wind and snow, and there is a possibility of being blown away at any time.

The wind roared from outside, making people uneasy, they were all a group of men carrying guns, but at this time it showed that they were not better than the girls.

One by one, they shrank in the corner like quails, even Qin Yuan was no exception.

In front of nature, man is so small and fragile.

The place where Qin Yuan and the others stayed was a lama temple, and the place was very large, but the incense had long been dilapidated.

It was also their luck that they happened to come near the lama temple when the snowstorm came, so they hid in it one after another, and it was considered a place to live.

Qianlong Ye once wrote a poem, "A lama temple is worth 100,000 soldiers", and the lama temple mentioned here is the kind of temple where Qin Yuan is located.

In the province of Rehe, there are many lama temples like this.

The most famous is the Qing Dynasty Kangxi, Qianlong years, successively built in the summer resort outside the 12 large temples, and "a lama temple, worth 100,000 soldiers", this poem is also the Qianlong Emperor in order to praise the temples outside the wall of the Chengde summer resort written poems.

These buildings, which integrate the architectural styles of Han, Tibet, Mongolia, Uygur and other places, are one of the important means for the Qing Dynasty to deal with the affairs of Mongolia, Tibet, Xinjiang, and other border areas.

With the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many lama temples also fell into loneliness, and there was no prosperity in the past.

Qin Yuan listened to the sound of the wind and snow outside, and looked at the brothers sitting on the ground with blank eyes, his heart was full of helplessness.

A bonfire in the middle of the temple flickered on and off, trying to emit a meager heat.

Qin Yuan was leaning against a Buddha statue, and he didn't know which Buddha it was, his face was hideous, although it was a little broken, but he could vaguely see the excellent workmanship in the past.

But he is an atheist, so he doesn't pay attention to it, and it's better to rely on it than to stand up.

The team has been blocked by this snowstorm for a day, and looking at this posture, this snow can't stop for two or three days.

If it is placed in the future generations, then those brick families can exclaim again: heavy snow that has not been encountered in a hundred years......

Outside the temple, the heavy snow has buried the steps, and it is estimated that if people go out, half of their bodies will have to be buried in the snow.

The edges of the windows and the cracks of the doors are filled with snowflakes, and you can feel the biting chill when you take a deep breath.

In this kind of weather, it is very difficult to replenish the team. Water is easy to solve, and there are snowflakes everywhere, which can quench your thirst. But food is the biggest problem.

The jerky on the brothers can last up to a day, and if you don't eat the big guys, you'll all have to go hungry.

The snowstorm is so big, let alone going out to hunt, it is difficult to even walk, and it is obviously not a way to be trapped in this broken temple.

Seeing Qin Yuan's anxious appearance, Zhang Fenglin actually wanted to share the burden for him. He and Qin Yuan have traveled all the way, and the accumulated feelings can no longer be simply described by the word "comrade-in-arms".

But unfortunately, he scratched his ears and cheeks and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any way.

In this kind of ghost weather, there is really no rut at all. If the snow doesn't stop, no one knows how long the team will last.
