Section II

The plane whizzed overhead, a violent explosion accompanied by the roar of bullets, mercilessly pouring on the fortifications that had not been completed for long. Lacking the protection of reinforced concrete or even hard stones, the defense line made of mud is like tofu slag, which instantly turns into powder, and even before it is too late, it is smashed open one after another huge gaps.

In the face of the behemoth roaring in the sky, the soldiers hiding in the trenches had no choice but to pray to Heaven for mercy not to befall them.

On the position in the southern suburbs of Luodian, the dust after the explosion became thicker and thicker, and gradually, it was like fog, making people's vision blurred.

"Arms, my arms...... Ah......" The fierce screams sounded after a violent explosion, in the blurred vision, the soldiers who were buried in the trench listened to the call of their companions almost numbly, except for a few people nearby who began to be busy trying to help their companions deal with their wounds, the others did not react in the slightest, not because they didn't want to, or they really had no choice, the strings of bullets that kept whistling down in the sky almost completely tore their positions apart, and the pillars of dust that shot on the ground and splashed up, forming an almost terrifying " The black line of death", those who touch it will die, and those who touch it will be crippled, bloody and brutal killing, without the slightest mercy in it.

As the sky gradually darkened, the planes in the sky gradually could not see the situation on the ground clearly, in the case of the continuous advance of the army, in order not to accidentally injure the incident, the plane began to return, leaving only the trembling earth for an hour or so, began to swallow their wounds in the smoke of gunpowder, slowly recovering their strength.

"Xiao Shandong, Xiao Shandong......" With the urgent shout, the place at the bottom of the trench that was almost integrated with the land suddenly shook a few times, and then a thin body slowly straightened up, and with his movements, the thick dust covering his body finally "slid down", and finally showed a young face that was almost assimilated by the mud and dust.

"Lao Meng, I'm still alive, I'm still alive!" The young face suddenly became a little excited after looking at his body and seeing that there seemed to be nothing unusual, and on the dusty and thick face, he suddenly showed an inappropriate smile, among them, among the snow-white teeth, two small tiger teeth, which looked particularly cute.

A person on the side, who was also covered by dust, moved over, patted the dust on Xiao Shandong's body, and asked with concern: "Take a look at the activity, is it hurt?" ”

Xiao Shandong was extremely obedient when he heard this, and he really threw up his arms and kept lifting his legs.

"Lao Meng, deputy class, you're a little biased, why are there 10 people in your class, except for the squad leader and you, there are 8, why do you only care about Xiaoshan?" The bald head not far away said here with a serious face, but after such a long bombing by enemy planes, his originally bright head was already covered with dust, and his appearance looked quite embarrassed.

"That's it, Old Man Meng is the most eccentric, and whatever you usually have to eat, you can leave it to that little cub." Next to the bald head, there was a chorus, the voice was a little indistinct, but the figure was quite tall, this was Jiao Yuan, a 30-year-old senior soldier, who was also added when the army was reorganized last year.

"It's a waste of food to eat so much, look at the bean sprouts, a gust of wind can blow him off." This time the voice was not far from Lao Meng's side, the guy was lying lazily on the ground, different from the dust on his body that everyone around him was constantly patting the dust on his body, he seemed to be used to this appearance, and he ignored these things on his body, as if the dust was not on him at all.

As soon as he saw these guys coaxing in a few words, Lao Meng was happy, "Yo He, a few uncles are in good spirits today, and they dare to let this little devil's cannonball wake up, what's the matter, do you want me to help you loosen your bones?" ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed and shouted at the bald head who was the first to speak: "Iron head, go on, give this old guy a little bit of power, look at his demeanor all day long, I really think that no one can cure him." ”

Tietou glared at the guy who spoke, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "Chen Daaxe, you can talk, you can go, if you dare to go, Lao Tzu will carry a month's bullet for you." ”

A squad leader not far away looked at the noisy appearance of these guys, and couldn't help but shake his head and scolded: "When is it, it's still the same as before, if you have this time, hurry up and take a rest, maybe there will be a battle tonight." After speaking, the squad leader said to Lao Meng again: "Lao Meng, where are the stones?" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the group was stunned, and then involuntarily looked towards Xiao Shandong's side.

The stone is the person that the squad leader and Xiao Shandong carried back from Luodian last night, the clothes on that guy's body are all rotten, not to mention the famous brand, and he can't even find anything on his body that can prove his identity, if it weren't for the fact that this kid's military pants and underwear are the same as them, and the first thing he said when he woke up was Chinese, they even wondered if they had brought a Japanese back. Of course, this possibility is really unlikely, after all, there is no complete certainty, and the battalion commander Zhan on the front line will not let them be sent back casually.

However, what makes them strange is that this guy hasn't opened his mouth since he woke up yesterday, and no matter what the people around him asked, there was no reaction, and because of this, Xu Qiang, the leader of the first squad, directly gave him the nickname "Stone", which is quite appropriate.

A few people in the first group surrounded Xiao Shandong, looking strangely at the "mud man" who was leaning on the trench without the slightest movement, more thoroughly than Zhou Wu who was lying there and was too lazy to move, this guy even closed his eyes at the moment, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him, just like a corpse, without any thoughts and movements.

Looking at his appearance, several people around him were really stunned, and the big voice of the iron head shouted to the deputy without hesitation: "Old man Meng, this kid won't lose his breath." ”

This kind of words, which are usually bound to be met with a wave of rolling eyes, attracted a nod in response at this time, and everyone seemed to agree with the bald head's words.

Old man Meng was also a little unsure, he looked down at Xiao Shandong, who was thin and thin, and also saw the uneasiness in the other party's eyes, but after all, Lao Meng had been in the army for a long time, although his ability was not too outstanding, but his courage was definitely not weak, after thinking about it, he walked in front of the "mud man" and reached out to probe under the man's nose.

The guys around who usually like to coax very much also quieted down at this time, looking at Lao Meng's finger one by one, looking at the clay figure with their eyes, and at the same time paying strange attention to Lao Meng's face.

Lao Meng's fingers left under the nose of the "clay man", frowned and shook his head, while the people around him were dumbfounded, one by one they didn't know what was going on, and the bald head shouted exaggeratedly: "Old man Meng, is it really dead?" ”

The sound of the bald head made the surroundings completely silent, and even a squad leader in the distance was attracted to it.

A few steps away, Xu Qiang, the leader of the first squad, shouted incredulously: "Dead? Who died? The stone is dead? ”

Listening to the eager voice of the squad leader and the rushing appearance, Lao Meng involuntarily glared at his bald head, and then turned back to the squad leader and said to the squad leader under the gaze of the slinger behind: "Lao Xu, take a look for yourself, this little guy seems to be a little wrong." ”

Xu Qiang's face suddenly became solemn, he didn't believe the bald words, that guy was going on all day long, no one knew whether his words were true or false, whether they were exaggerated or what, but Lao Meng, the deputy, he knew, although he also liked to joke with people, but he had absolutely nothing to say in terms of proportion, when to be serious and when to relax, he was still very clear, even he said that the situation was wrong, then something must be wrong.

In the gap where everyone got out of the way, Xu Qiang saw the "mud man" leaning leisurely on the trench at a glance, at this moment the guy was wrapped in mud all over his body, and he could only faintly see a silhouette, and when he thought that under the violent explosion just now, this guy maintained this posture at all times, Xu Qiang's face involuntarily trembled a few times.

I couldn't help but say that after Xu Qiang arrived, he immediately probed under the nose of the stone, and then the expression on his face became weird, and then he couldn't help but say to Lao Meng, who also looked weird...... It seems to be ...... Asleep? ”

Hearing the squad leader's voice come out, the eyes of everyone around them widened one by one and fell asleep? Fell asleep under the bombardment of several planes? How is this possible?

After thinking about it, Lao Meng lowered his voice and replied, "Squad leader, maybe ...... It's a fainting. ”

Xu Qiang's face suddenly calmed down, and then nodded, Lao Meng's words seemed to make him feel very reasonable, and then he glanced back at the stone that was still not moving, and muttered: "It's better to send him to the military doctor in the back, anyway, he also used a gun to beat his devil comrades, and finally picked up a life, but he can't just send him here in a daze." ”

After speaking, Xu Qiang seemed to have made up his mind, and said to everyone: "You guys are watching here, I'll call the company commander, it's getting dark, the devil may come up at any time, this matter can't be delayed." ”

Xu Qiang's movements were very fast, and Company Commander Zheng had been busy for a day, and it seemed that it was only at this time that he remembered that a class had saved someone from the front line last night, and when he heard Xu Qiang's words, he didn't stop at all, and immediately called the hygienist to rush towards their squad's position.

The speed at which the group came was very fast, and from a distance, Lao Meng and the others saw the figure of the company commander and the staff officer Zhang they saw during the day, and immediately moved out of the way, and saluted on both sides at the same time.

Nodding his head, he saluted back to everyone on the side, and the two eyes of Staff Officer Zhang and Company Commander Zheng fell on the "mud man" almost at the same time, and almost at the same time, the eyes of the "mud man" that had been closed for a long time suddenly opened.
