Chapter Twenty-Three: The Bloody Sunset

The Chinese armed police force is constantly attacking the ice board, and I don't know how many young armed police soldiers who have not been to the training ground, let alone practiced shooting, have fallen on the way to the charge.

A captain of the armed police brigade turned into the communicator and cried loudly: "Report, we really can't attack anymore!" The enemy condescendingly occupies an absolutely dominant terrain, they not only have submachine guns, automatic rifles, but also light machine guns, rocket artillery, and grenades, and our fighters fall in the rain of bullets in the absence of heavy fire suppression, we can't break through their defenses at all, and the casualties of our brothers in the entire brigade have already been more than half! ”

"Even if your entire brigade and all the armed police units in your area are wiped out, you will keep attacking me!" The operational commander in the communicator roared angrily: "Now the troops in the ice plate have been besieged by the enemy for five hours! I'm telling you, you're only half dead, but they're almost dead! The only thing we can do now is to attack the enemy before the mechanized regiments of the regular troops arrive! They are constantly being drawn up to defend themselves, and they are out of breath to launch an all-out assault on our brother forces! ”

Several squadron leaders who were still covered in gunpowder smoke and had tears in their eyes all looked at the captain with pleading eyes, and the captain gritted his teeth fiercely, snatched the Type 85 automatic rifle in the hand of a soldier, and hissed wildly: "Brothers, come with me!" It's a big deal, let's die here together! ”

This batch of armed police units belongs to the internal guard force, and there are basically only about 30 soldiers in a squadron, and they have no heavy machine guns, no 40 fire, no recoilless mortars, and they don't even have grenades! In a frenzied shout, they launched one futile assault after another against the terrorists hiding behind the steep peaks and the experienced Afghan guerrillas at the entrance to the ice slab.

One young child after another fell in a pool of blood with the dream of the barracks, in front of this moat that could not be broken through with the weapons in their hands!

A mechanized regiment of the Chinese regular troops, a self-propelled artillery battalion of the Chinese regular troops, are advancing in the direction of the "ice board" with all their might!

After being silent for a long time, veteran General Zheng Xun of China's Fifth Special Forces Elite Training School slapped the table fiercely, ignoring the secret combat regulations of the Fifth Special Forces, and issued a combat order to Instructor Li Xiangshang, who had also stood in silence in front of him for five hours: "Immediately gather all the participating troops that we can use now, including all the cadets who have been trained for more than ten years, and rush to the ice board by helicopter!" I don't care what method you use, whether dead or alive, bring me a lot of them! ”

Li Xiangshang shouted fiercely: "Yes! ”

The fighters, bombers, and even fighters of the Chinese Air Force, which were closest to the ice slabs, were all dispatched, and in the face of the terrorists who had already rushed up the hill and were only a few dozen meters away from the squadron, they could no longer drop bombs or launch missiles, and the air force units could only use their cannons to fire at the ground.

In the roar of the fighters, hundreds of machine guns kept strafing, drawing a stream of light in the sky that was so bright that it could almost be woven into a light curtain, and splashed snow and ice chips on the ground one after another.

The slope of the ice slope can definitely be recorded in the history of modern warfare, because in six hours, the terrorists launched 47 attacks on the hillside, and the two sides fired 100,000 rounds of rifle bullets at least on this land, and the ammunition and cannons thrown by bombers, fighters, and fighters were enough to blow up the entire hillside twice if calculated in terms of number and tonnage!

You reach out and grab a handful of floating dirt from the ground, which will contain at least one or two bullets, mixed with fragments of bombs and grenades.

At this moment, the whole earth seemed to be roasted by the ammunition poured by both sides! It's cooked!

The enemy's light machine gun positions had already been crippled by the Chinese air force, but hundreds of religious fanatics were still singing their "hymns" and battle songs wave after wave, and charged towards the hillside under the bombardment of fighter planes.

Zhan Xia Ge and his classmates from the Fifth Special Force, and the soldiers of the Armed Police Squadron were lying quietly on the hillside, and now that the enemy's hundreds of automatic rifles were strafing together, it would no longer pose much of a threat to them, because beside them, the corpses stacked on top of each other had already established a bunker for them. The bullets hit the corpses in front of them again and again, and the blood splattered on their faces again and again, and they no longer had the strength to reach out and wipe the blood off their faces, and they did not have the strength to cover their noses again, to be careful not to avoid the smell of the corpses being roasted by the Molotov cocktails.

Now as long as you hear Long Jianhui's order, you can understand the current situation of the [***] team: "If the enemy does not rush to within fifteen meters, he must not shoot!" ”

At this time, there is no need to shout slogans and orders such as saving every bullet and not emptying the gun, everyone truly understands the importance of bullets to a soldier, and every bullet in their current chamber is exchanged for the blood of their brothers, one by one!

If they can't shoot these bullets into the enemy's chest, what face do they have to meet their brothers who fell on the hillside in order to pick up their weapons?!

The commander of the mechanized regiment constantly reported their location to Long Jianhui.

"Please hold on for another fifteen minutes!"

"Please hold me for another ten minutes!"

"Please hold on for five more minutes!"

……

The enemy's attacks are getting more and more crazy, and at this time, whoever can hold out until the last moment is the real winner!

Long Jianhui took a deep breath and shouted wildly: "Brothers, our reinforcements have come, they have rushed to the valley mouth of the ice board, everyone defend and defend!" As long as we resist one more attack from them, the time will come for us to counterattack! ”

At the mouth of the valley of the ice board, the commander of the mechanized regiment looked at the battlefield in front of him that had almost turned into the Hell of Shura, he was really stunned, and he shouted loudly: "Ignore the disturbing firepower on both sides, give me all my strength to rush into the valley and join our besieged troops!" This garbage will be handed over to the brothers of the self-propelled artillery battalion behind us to deal with! ”

At this time, on the snow-capped mountain where the ice slabs do not melt all year round, there was a sudden muffled sound, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke rushed straight up to a height of seventy or eighty meters, and God knows how many explosives someone had planted there. In the midst of everyone's stunned gaze, suddenly the sky collapsed and the ground cracked!

The whole earth was trembling violently, and a terrible roar sounded on the whole earth like a group of tens of thousands of tanks launching a charge, and a white earth-shattering wave was seen as far as the eye could see, rolling and roaring, roaring and rolling down, instantly forming a terrible torrent that could not be reversed by manpower.

The snow-capped mountain, which does not know how many billions of tons of ice and snow has accumulated all year round, was finally shocked by the audacity and presumptuousness of human beings, and it was finally angry! In the face of the overwhelming snow waves, everyone's faces instantly turned pale.

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom !!"

……

The explosives that have been planted long ago are like firecrackers set off during the festival, and when the rounds sound, an iceberg collapses, and the snow-capped mountains go crazy. A large amount of snow, large chunks of crushed ice, tumbling all the way down the river. When they rushed to the bottom of the valley, the torrents collided together, and in an instant, in front of the valley of the ice slab, a snow moat with a height of more than 40 meters and a continuous stretch of seven or eight kilometers was formed, and even wild goats were afraid to look away!

"I'm sorry, our armored vehicles can't continue to drive, and even if we want to cross this snow on foot, we probably need to ...... without any attack Two hours! ”

Hearing the report of the commander of the mechanical regiment, Long Jianhui was silent, he stared at the "jihadists" who came up one after another at the foot of the mountain, he listened to the "holy songs" that these terrorists kept singing, and then looked at the soldiers of the armed police force who were so tired that they almost didn't even have the strength to hold their rifles, and only barely maintained their basic fighting spirit because of the imminent arrival of reinforcements, Long Jianhui understood that their positional sniper battle had failed!

Not to mention these ordinary soldiers of the Armed Police Force, even the soldiers of the Fifth Special Force led by Long Jianhui were full of exhaustion, and none of them could maintain their strong physical strength and fighting spirit after five hours of bloody battles in a row.

After Long Jianhui turned the communication channel, he whispered into the communicator: "Zhan Xia Ge, come here!" ”

A figure covered in blood and body armor was even more tattered quickly appeared in front of Long Jianhui's eyes, Long Jianhui couldn't help but let out an exclamation again in his heart, it is because of this unfathomable physical strength that Zhan Xia Ge can withstand altitude sickness and use tools that will never take advantage of it, and dig out the bodies of the two heroes of the iceberg from the top of the ice mountain, right?

Long Jianhui said in a low voice: "Our reinforcements won't come in two hours, we must break through!" ”

Zhan Xia Ge didn't speak, and at such a time, he really had nothing to say.

"As you can see, our Fifth Special Force is better, after five hours of fierce fighting, at least eighteen people survived, and everyone still has enough strength and ammunition to carry out a breakout battle. But the soldiers of the police force who cooperated with us in the fight were afraid that they would not even have the strength to run down this hillside! But since I am the commander-in-chief of this joint operation, I cannot leave behind these brothers who believe in me and are willing to put their lives in my hands at such a time! ”

Long Jianhui slowly took off the silver Flying Eagle Medal on his military uniform, which represented the noble status of the Fifth Special Force, and he put the silver Eagle Medal in the palm of Zhan Xia Ge's hand. "You probably don't know an unwritten convention of the Fifth Special Force, when a cadet can get the Medal of Honor for Mountain, Jungle, Earth, Snowfield, and Courage at the same time, he is already eligible for the qualification of the Fifth Special Force Trainee Squad Leader."

"You're all [***], and you all have a good old man." Long Jianhui smiled faintly, "If you enter the ordinary army and get promoted and make a fortune, it means that you can wait, like you, who have been in the army for six years and are indeed outstanding enough to be outstanding, how can you mix with the rank of major and be on an equal footing with me." In this case, our Fifth Special Force, no matter how much we set the ranks for you, will not be able to make you truly satisfied. It can't be sent out by one of our troops, and even the signal corps is a colonel-level official, right? Therefore, the Fifth Special Force simply blocked all possibilities for your promotion and wealth, and let each of you honestly be your own soldiers! ”

"And the squad leader selected from among you does not mean that you have the power to manage ** soldiers from now on, but that you have experienced the actual combat test and have the quality and ability of an excellent commander! And the difference between the squad leader of the fifth special unit and an ordinary soldier is that the squad leader, like the instructor, will have a silver eagle medal! ”

Zhan Xia Ge stared at the silver eagle medal in his palm, which was repeatedly scorched by the fire of war and gunsmoke, still carrying the white of silver and the pride of silver, in this world where bullets flew everywhere and howled miserably, he was really stupid.

"Put it on, on the snowy mountains, in this war, everything proves that you have sufficient reasons and qualifications to have such a reputation and status!"

Long Jianhui said in a low voice: "According to the operational rules of the Fifth Special Force, on the battlefield, I, the supreme commander and instructor, can temporarily select a temporary acting squad leader from among the best students under my subordinates when my assistant is killed!" Now I have chosen you to be my acting squad leader, and you are responsible for leading all the existing personnel of the Fifth Special Force to break through! Remember, when you wear this Silver Eagle Medal, you are no longer living for yourself, you are going to live for the whole army that believes in you, is willing to give your life to you, obeys you, and lives with your brothers! ”

Zhan Xia Ge's whole body suddenly began to tremble irrepressibly, and Long Jianhui shouted in a low voice: "Don't cry, this is an order!" ”

Zhan Xia Ge gently sniffled his nose, and with his trembling blood-stained scarred hand, he put the Silver Eagle Medal, which represented pride, glory and status, on his collar. The Silver Eagle Medal made of sterling silver is paired with five bronze medals of honor made of brass and finely arranged, which looks indescribably beautiful and harmonious.

Zhan Xia Ge looked at Long Jianhui stupidly, at his face as hard as marble, at his short hair that was only an inch long, and at the corner of his mouth with a free and easy smile that was still like nothing on the battlefield, Zhan Xia Ge only felt a sudden sting pain in his heart that could hardly be suppressed. Because Long Jianhui at this moment looks like the deepest shore of the Pacific Ocean, with his eyes closed forever...... Brother Sun Jing!

Zhan Xia Ge gritted his teeth and shouted in a trembling voice: "Yes! ”

"Very good, the song of the warrior is the song of the warrior, at a critical time, I didn't chirp like a girl, regardless of the severity, this is the fangs that I, Long Jianhui, can look at!"

Long Jianhui quickly glanced at Shen Hao, who was lying in front of a corpse, still holding a branch AK47 rifle in his hand, and said in a low voice: "He is also a real man, an excellent soldier. Since I, the Supreme Commander, are in charge, there is no need for him to stay and die with us, so take him with you! ”

Zhan Xia Ge also glanced at Shen Hao and said, "He is indeed a real man, I think even if we talk about it, he will not abandon his brother and break through with us." ”

"When did the warrior song become honest and only use his own mouth to persuade people?" On this isolated battlefield where ammunition and food were exhausted, Instructor Long Jianhui suddenly laughed, he waved his hand to make a chopping motion, and said: "If he really doesn't cooperate, use your favorite method to persuade him!" ”

Glancing at Zhao Haiping, Long Jianhui said: "That's the apprentice you just received, I won't look at him differently because he has any special status, he is a good soldier, and he seems to have the physical strength to accompany you to break through, just take him with you!" You also have to face the enemy's crazy pursuit after breaking out, and it's always a good thing to have one more person, especially one more sniper with good marksmanship! ”

Long Jianhui took out a military map from his pocket, he pointed to a corner of the map, and said: "This is the ice slab we are on, the valley at the front of the ice slab has been completely covered with ice and snow, you running back is tantamount to killing yourself, so you can only flee back!" ”

Zhan Xia Ge's gaze couldn't help but extend along Long Jianhui's fingers, and when Long Jianhui's fingers skipped over a thick red line, Zhan Xia Ge couldn't help but be moved, and he asked in a low voice, "What do you mean......?"

"Run, if you want to live, you have to keep running forward without looking back!"

Long Jianhui attached himself to the ear of the warrior song, and said in a deep voice: "The only way to do this is to escape from China along the valley of the ice board, and after entering the Russian border, first avoid the terrorists behind you, and then send a radio to the Russian military to ask for their support." Now that the East Turkistan terrorists are in collusion with the Russian rebels in Chechnya, and with the old enemy of the Afghan guerrillas, Russia, a country that has established a strategic partnership with China and has the same enemies as China, there is no reason why it would refuse your request. After receiving their help, you will return to China through the Russian political axe! ”

"Zhan Xia Ge, no matter what kind of danger you have to face in the future, you must bring your classmates and those children back to China alive!" Long Jianhui stared at the red and bloody sunset in the distance, and let out a soft sigh in his heart: "Actually, the third fang in the history of the Fifth Special Force, the youngest acting squad leader in the history of Zhan Xia Ge, isn't it also a child who is just in his twenties?" ”
