Chapter 31: A Difficult 100 Kilometers (2)
A large mountain lay in front of the officers and men of the second company. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info map shows that the mountain is called Rushan Mountain, and the elevation point is 1200.
"Pioneer class, pay attention to survey the terrain and mark it. The whole company uniformly sorted out the equipment, checked the personnel, and prepared for mountaineering. "At any time, a unit must have a backbone, and the more difficult the time, the more important the role of this backbone is. On the march, the company commander is the backbone. No matter how tired Company Commander Yang is, he must command and control the team well.
At this time, there were already about 10 people in the company. The veteran Wang Jianzhong had already had a serious crotch grinding, and he walked with his legs crossed, "Forward, forward." Xiao Wang muttered as he moved forward diagonally.
"Squad leader, I really can't walk. No, no. The new soldier "Xiao Sun Yue" tilted his body as he spoke, and leaned on the ground with his backpack.
Xiao Xiuzhu, the deputy squad leader in charge of containment, hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation: "What's the matter, can't you hold on?" ”
"No, squad leader, my feet hurt to death." Xiao Sun is the living treasure in the class, he loves singing and dancing, and everyone calls him "Little Sun Yue".
"Let me see." Squad Leader Xiao said and squatted down to help Xiao Sun take off his shoes, seeing that his socks were already soaked and stuck to his feet, Squad Leader Xiao carefully took off his socks.
"It hurts." Xiao Sun couldn't help but scream.
"What does it hurt, what does this pain mean?" Squad leader Xiao was both caring and had to yell at him ruthlessly.
"Before leaving, I repeatedly emphasized that I can't wear new shoes, and I just don't listen, what do you think?" Xiao Sun's soles had already ground out four or five blood blisters, and one of them had been broken, revealing bright red tender flesh. Squad leader Xiao saw it in his eyes, sour in his heart, and involuntarily pouted a few words in his mouth. Xiao Sun felt that this was the first time in his military career to participate in such an important operation, and putting on a new pair of shoes was to show his attitude and create new achievements.
"Bear with me, ah." As he spoke, squad leader Xiao took out the needle and thread, and broke the blisters one by one, and the pus slowly seeped out along the thin thread, "Don't tear the epidermis, it's easy to get infected." ”
"Yes, thank you, squad leader." Xiao Sun saw that the squad leader took care of himself so carefully, and said thank you from the bottom of his heart.
"What's in the back?"
"Nope."
Taking advantage of Xiao Sun's distraction, squad leader Xiao quickly squeezed the clotrimazole potion on his feet.
"Ahh Xiao Sun's whole body shook and gasped.
"Endure it for 10 seconds, and it won't hurt right away." Squad leader Xiao is very sure and confident in this, this is his "original cheat", this medicine is not only anti-inflammatory, but also can quickly form a protective film on the surface of the wound, which can be used in all kinds of ways.
"There are no socks, change a pair. These pairs are thrown into the backpack. As he spoke, squad leader Xiao took out a white object from his pocket, opened it, and put it on the sole of Xiao Sun's shoe.
"Squad leader, what is this?" Xiao Sun was a little curious and asked.
"What! Women's items. Squad leader Xiao smiled and did not answer.
"I'll see." Xiao Sun put on his socks, picked up his shoes and looked at them, and laughed, "Isn't this a sanitary napkin!" ”
"It doesn't matter what kind of towel it is, it works. Stand up and try. Squad leader Xiao blushed a little and said to Xiao Sun embarrassedly.
Because it is a woman's mouth to buy, many of these old men are ashamed to open their mouths before departure, although they know that it is easy to use, but they can't spit out these words after wandering around the camp commissary for a long time, and only a few who are a little bold buy this treasure. If it weren't for the fact that squad leader Xiao had to take on the task of post-mortar containment, how could he dare to buy such a thing with his shy appearance.
"Much more comfortable, squad leader." Xiao Sun wiped the sweat from his face, put on his hat, and smiled at the squad leader.
"Let's go."
"Yes." The people in front of them had already gone a long way out, and they were about to catch up.
Because the mountain was too steep, the spearhead squad who were exploring the road in front had to keep going back and forth to determine which road was more suitable for the march of a large army. As the leader of the top soldier squad, Liu Shixu constantly reminded himself that he must be careful, if the top soldier class makes a mistake, there are few people who can turn around at any time, and once the large army makes a mistake, it will affect the overall situation. According to the contour lines on the map, this is a flathead mountain, and he must walk to the top of the mountain before dark to find a place for the follow-up troops to rest, so that he can successfully climb the next mountain.
"Beware of slippery feet." Every time the comrades in front take a step upward, they must remind the comrades behind to pay attention to safety. In some places, the fighters in the back can only look at the heels of the fighters in front of them to advance, relying on the fighters in front to relay them step by step with their hands.
"First the equipment, then the people." A small ditch halfway up the hill stood in front of the three rows. Fan Zhanqiang ordered everyone to step over in turn, because the equipment was too heavy, and some fighters had insufficient ability to jump over, so they could only adopt the method of passing through the equipment first and then passing people. The purpose is that the shoes should not be wet, and the shoes are easy to slip when they are wet, and it is easier for people to have the illusion of touch, which is a taboo for walking on mountain roads.
"Everyone insisted, and we will reach the top of the mountain in one hour." After everyone was finished, Fan Zhanqiang walked at the back of the team, he let the seventh squad leader take the lead, and he controlled the situation in the platoon in the back, and he was also reporting the march of the entire company to the company commander at any time.
It was getting dark, the vanguard had reached the top of the mountain, many soldiers made a hysterical cry on it, they completed the conquest of the mountain in their lives, and also completed the baptism of themselves.
"I'm really tired today, but this tiredness doesn't seem to be so bitter. Looking up at the starry sky, the stars were so close to me, and for the first time I felt the urge to touch them. Taking advantage of the rest on the top of the mountain, by the moonlight, Xiao Sun wrote down his marching experience in his diary.
"When going down the mountain, your feet must be solid, your calves must not be weak, and the squad leader must take care of the soldiers in the squad." The company commander convened a meeting of the backbone and repeatedly emphasized the precautions for going down the mountain. Because many people have no experience of going down the mountain, because many people have no real experience of "it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down", because everyone is a close comrade-in-arms.
After passing a section of the saddle, the terrain becomes relatively gentle, but the road becomes unusually narrow.
"Someone fell." The shout was a bit harsh. In the dark night, everyone is tired and sleepy, and people's brains are basically numb, relying on the feeling of the person in front of them, walking mechanically. This shout sent a shiver through the crackers.
"Who?" Someone shouted.
"It seems to be Wang Wei." One of the fighters who followed Wang Wei said, "I only heard an 'ah' sound, and it seemed that someone had fallen in front of me." "Wang Wei is a soldier in three rows and eight squads, and he will still die if he falls, but there is a valley below!
"Quick, flashlight." The eighth squad leader shone the flashlight downward, and he couldn't see the bottom at all.
"Wang Wei, Wang Wei. Everyone shouted together. "The squad leader is also a little anxious, this is not a trivial matter, it is a matter of the lives of his comrades.
"Stop, stop, like someone is shouting." Someone stopped the shouting.
"Squad leader, squad leader, save me, save me." The voice came from below.
Wang Wei turned on the flashlight, and everyone's hanging heart finally relaxed. This guy has a big life, and there is just a sloping ridge below to catch him, otherwise the consequences of falling down are unimaginable.
They pulled him up with ropes.
"I'm sorry, squad leader, I'm so sleepy that I accidentally stepped into the air." After Wang Wei came up, he was still apologizing to the squad leader.
"What do you say, it's okay, it's okay." The eighth squad leader hugged him, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him.
"Pass me the word, cheer up, and be vigilant." According to the order of the eighth squad leader, everyone passed the same voice and the same love from back to front.
This scene of thrilling danger is still fresh in Wang Wei's memory, and he still can't forget it.
The team walked through the mountainside and climbed over a hill before officially entering the winding road, and the most unforgettable section of the training was finally turned over.
"Comrades, the time has come to really test us, and the next step is to conduct training in the running course, with platoons as a unit, and compare platoons with each platoon, to see which platoon reaches the finish line first, and which platoon has the least number of people left behind. The goal, see it or not, the bright light of the traffic ahead, that is, the end of the road, is the end. "Entering the avenue, it is already 2 o'clock in the morning, and there is still a considerable distance from the assembly area, but time waits for no one, and a forced march must be carried out to complete the set task. According to the actual situation, after consulting with the instructor, Company Commander Yang issued a training course to the company, "Goal, bright place, go." ”
The attack tests people's endurance, and more importantly, everyone's unity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness.
"Three platoons, follow me, I don't fall behind and no one is allowed to fall behind, the ninth squad leader takes two comrades with good physical strength to be responsible for mutual assistance. This is the final sprint moment, and it is also the moment that tests us the most, do you have confidence? "Fan Zhanqiang is doing the briefest mobilization, cadres, usually the leader, at critical moments, cadres, is the pillar of this platoon.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The morale of the fighters has not been weakened by hardship, the strength of unity is endless, and the potential of people is endless.
"Target, in the light ahead, everyone runs." The ninth squad leader was constantly refueling at the rear of the team.
We don't know how long we have been running, and the bright light in front of us doesn't seem to be approaching, but it's clear that the lights are moving, and there is definitely traffic passing by, and it's definitely not going farther and farther. As long as the goal doesn't get farther and farther, it gets closer.
"Squad leader, it's no good, take a break." There are fighters who can't stand it.
"No, the more you rest, the more tired you get, the more you rest, the more you can't run, hold on, the light is ahead, it's almost there." The ninth squad leader comforted while running.
"Come, give me the gun, Xiao Wang, pass his backpack forward." The ninth squad leader put the soldier's gun on his shoulder and asked Xiao Wang to pass his backpack to the front of the team. On the march, no one can be left behind, and no equipment must be left behind.
"Come, take a big step, take a deep breath, and run to the front of the line." The ninth squad leader helped the three guns on his body and pushed him forward with difficulty.
Fan Zhanqiang stopped at the front of the team and watched his comrades run past him one by one.
"Comrades, we are now at the front, the first is ours, the goal, the light ahead, hold on." He pressed the steel gun on his shoulder, and leaned back the pistol and equipment on his waist, "Come, Squad Leader Seven, give me the equipment, and we will carry it together."
Target, bright ahead, continue to go!
