A baker's dozen
Yiyan followed the road pointed out by Eryan, and soon arrived at the edge of the railway. At this time, there was an ironclad car patrolling the road, driving from north to south, panting โกโก, with one-eyed headlights above his head, and the thief was bright and bright. Yiyan hid behind a mound of red willows, using the light to observe the terrain. On both sides of the railway, open land four or five hundred meters wide; Along the railway line, there was a bunker about half a mile, and the sentries on the bunker kept shouting orders. The first bunker shouted: "Watch out!" The second bunker shouted: "Watch the enemy!" And so they passed down one by one, until they reached the far south, and after a while they shouted back from the south to the north.
Soon after the patrol car drove by, a large, high, flame-smoking locomotive pulled a long black car and drove over. The train also passed with red sparks, leaving silence and darkness behind it.
Yi Yan persuaded himself that it would not be too late to wait a little longer, observe and observe, and figure out the situation of the enemy on the bunker.
From the northwest, there was a rumbling sound as if the tide was rushing. Yi Yan thought that the wind was blowing, and looked at the red willow branches above his head, but he didn't move. She was wondering when a cold air approached her body, and then a raindrop of copper coins fell. Only then did the wind swoop in on the face, and a mound of red willows, whistled, bent the branches down and up, and bent up and down to fight against the wind. In the blink of an eye, the hidden place has become a pond.
"Throw a raincoat, throw a raincoat!" The wind blew the shouts of the sentries on the bunker, "Patronizing the pai gow, donkey hair is stuffed in the ears." โ
This is the chance! Yi Yanteng got up and ran quickly across the open field, climbed the roadbed, and crossed the railroad tracks. The wind was strong, the rain was strong, and the enemy sentry was putting raincoats on her, and no one noticed her. She jumped to the edge of Luci's open field and thought, "It's going to be here." At that moment, a long, near-light lightning bolt suddenly lit up, and for a moment the whole earth seemed to be burning with blue flames. With the thunder, the enemy on the pillbox shouted: "What man? Password? The enemy on a pillbox to the south also shouted: "Don't talk and shoot!" At this time, it was the darkest moment after the lightning, and Yiyan ran away in the dark desperately. Then there was another lightning, this lightning was not as bright as the one just now, but it was like a pillar of light dangling around where Yiyan was, and it no longer stopped. When I turned my head, it turned out that the searchlight was lit on the top of the bunker. A volley of bullets swept over. On the bare and vast open ground, Yi Yan felt that her target was prominent and tall, and she was trying to find a terrain to hide, when her left arm seemed to be pushed by someone, and she fell into a puddle.
The pillboxes to the south also took part in the shooting, and the bullets were splashing everywhere. Twenty paces away is a field of grain, and if you can get there, you can get out safely. She tried to get up with her hands on the ground, but her left arm was very heavy, and the rain under her arm was red silk, and then she knew that her left arm was injured. She gritted her teeth: "You must get up, you must go into that valley." โ
The enemy on the pillbox shouted again: "Surrender, what are you still doing there?" I see you! โ
Remembering that she was silent, pulling a grenade from her belt with her right hand, she waited for the enemy in the bunker to arrive.
The bunker shouted: "I can't come here, but I'll give you another shuttle." โ
Another shuttle*** was fired at the bunker, but all the bullets were fired a hundred meters to her right. Yi Yan understood that the enemy didn't see her lying here, and those words were a lie to her. So she fell to the ground tighter.
The enemy on the bunker cursed and said, "Damn, it's dead!" With that, he turned off his searchlight. Yi Yan was so happy that he ignored the pain in his shoulder, and was about to get up with his right hand on the ground. As soon as he stepped on his legs, a thought flashed into his mind: "Slow down, maybe the enemy is playing tricks!" She flattened her legs and hands again.
It was pitch black all around, and apart from the sound of wind and rain, even the sound of insects could not be heard. Twenty paces away, the valley of safety and victory, like a magnet attracting a tiny iron needle to her heart. Less than half a minute after the lights went out, she felt that a long time had passed, and several times she felt that she could not wait any longer, and that she was going to miss the opportunity. Perhaps the enemy was creeping up on her from behind, and even if he died, he would jump into the valley. But she was able to suppress this irritating urge several times. In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she decided to count them, from one to twenty, and if the enemy didn't move again, she would resolutely get up and advance. As soon as she had made this decision, she brushed the searchlights and turned on again, and even the lights of the bunkers in the south and north were on. Huge lampposts cut like strips of scissors through an open area that was miles long. He stopped and shone still for a while, and then turned it all off at once. Yi Yan seized the opportunity, jumped up and jumped into the crop field, and walked along the ditch for a long, long time, and the enemy on the pillbox never turned on the lights again.
She felt a hot pain in her left arm, dizziness and coldness, so she took off one of her legs, gritted her teeth, and tied her right hand tightly to the wound. Pick up a sorghum that has been broken by the wind and rain, break off the head, use it as a crutch, and move forward step by step. Through the intermittent lightning, I finally found the road to the west. She took out the timpani, which was a communication signal, and blew it as she went. When the sky was about to dawn, it cleared, revealing half a moon. The moonlight and the sound of the flute woke up the forest birds, and they all shook their wings and screamed, thrushes, calling the sky, wax beaks, and quails, but there was no turtle dove sound that Zhou Yiyan was looking forward to.
The sun is getting high. The road stretches forward, endlessly. The violent storms in the middle of the night turned every ridge into a murky stream. Sorghum and corn, with broken branches and leaves, seemed to hang a rag strip. Zhou Yiyan's eyes were deeply sunken, his eyes were blue, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were full of red silk. The shoes on both feet have long been pulled out of the mud at some point. She staggered, walked with uneven steps, mechanically played the flute, occasionally paused to pull a sorghum leaf with her hand, licked the dew on it, and walked down with the flute in spirit.
A few times, she fell asleep as she walked, and was awakened by her own deep and shallow steps. Every joint in her body ached, and it took extra effort to make any movement. But she did not dare to sit down or stop, for fear that once she sat down, she would not have the strength to stand up again. She thought that Xiao Gao and Yu Jie were ahead of her, and they were waiting for her.
More than a mile from the road in front of the right, there is a dense wood. She told Kodaka not to walk on the road during the day, and to make use of hidden terrain features as much as possible. Maybe they'll hide in the woods and rest? In that case, you may not be able to hear the flute on the road, and you should get closer to the woods.
She descended the road and plunged into the drenched fields. The sun was hot and bright, and the droplets of water on the leaves of all crops emitted white moisture. It's the same green all around, the same glitter. Where are the roads and where are the woods? Why are they circling around themselves? Feeling a little disgusted, she reached out and stood down holding a tree beside her, closing her eyes slightly. A warm and sluggish feeling flowed all over her body......
Someone's shouting woke her up, and she found herself asleep clutching a tree by the side of the road. A young man in military uniform was shouting and walking towards her. But she didn't understand what he was shouting, and she wanted to open her mouth to answer him, but for some reason she couldn't make a sound. She let go of the hand holding the tree, and wanted to make a gesture, when suddenly she saw the green meadow with the raindrops at her feet, like a page from the bottom up, close and close to her face......
Soon he woke up again, and he was lying on the back of a warrior. With every step the warrior took on her back, her wound ached sharply, and it was this sharp pain that woke her up. She told the warrior to put her down and let her go on her own. The warrior said, "No, you have a fever. But she didn't want to ask where the warrior came from, where was she? As if everything was like this, it should be like this. For a while, she felt that it was Sun Zhen who was carrying her, and looked at her shyly while carrying her, smiling at her.
When she really came to her senses, she was lying under a willow tree by the wide bank of the river. There was really a company commander squatting in front of her, a young company commander who had not yet grown a beard on his mouth, and a small hygienist. Her arm has been treated and re-bandaged. The little hygienist also gave her an injection to reduce her fever.
The young company commander told her that the large army had crossed the river yesterday, and that he had taken a platoon as a containment team, and that it had reached the allotted time. It was only because of the torrential rain and flash floods that they did not pass. She was spotted by two warriors who had just gone to collect materials for crossing the river. She briefly explained her situation, and hurriedly asked, "Have you contained those two female comrades in civilian clothes?" The company commander said no, he must have told the soldiers to pay attention to observe and tell her not to worry. He said that her first task at the moment is to eat and rest, and to cross the river later, it is necessary to fight for physical strength.
As soon as she finished speaking, it was as if she suddenly came out of the ground, and a gray-haired old lady came out from behind the tree, holding a teapot of steaming millet porridge and lying on poached eggs, squatting beside her, and then a spoonful, blowing it with her mouth, and sending it to her mouth.
"Auntie, I can eat it myself!" Yiyan reached out to grab the teapot, and the eldest lady dodged the teapot away.
"I'll feed, you can eat, if only outsiders could still get here."
The hygienist said that the eldest lady was also from Yimeng Mountain. She volunteered to move with her troops to another base away from the enemy.
The company commander blew the whistle, and the communicator ran to inform him that the time had come to cross the river. It just so happened that Yiyan had just swallowed the last bite of the egg.
Dozens of warriors, half-immersed in the water, pulled by their hands two tic-tac-toe-shaped wooden frames tied together with sticks and flat poles, and in the middle of the wooden frames was a large vat with a verbal horn. The company commander said to Yi Yan: "Two cylinders, you and the eldest lady sit on one by one, and the rest of the people are holding on to the wooden frame with all hands." Those who can push it with water, those who can't hold it with water, can walk on the bottom, and swim where they can't step on the bottom. โ
A few fighters put the eldest lady on their backs and put them in the tank, and a few other fighters came to carry Zhou Yiyan. Zhou Yiyan said, "Wait a minute. Company commander, I need a *** now, and don't cross the river. โ
"But the river?" The company commander said strangely: "The enemy will arrive at any time, what are you doing in the river?" โ
"I still have two fighters who haven't arrived! The task given to me by the organization is that all three of them return to the team at the same time, and I have no right to go over and throw them away myself! โ
"Where are they?"
"I don't know. I'm going to find it! โ
"Your injuries are serious!"
"I have to get the job done."
"We've exceeded the time limit, I need to carry out the order......"
"Just leave me a gun, I don't ask you to wait for me. I only hope that when you pass, you will report my situation to your superiors! โ
The company commander clenched his fists with both hands and released them, released them and clenched them again. suddenly shouted: "Second squad leader, Wang Jinbao, you two come up!" โ
The second squad leader and the warrior Wang Jinbao climbed up from the water.
The company commander said, "You two stay and listen to the command of Captain Zhou." Comrade Zhou Yiyan, you can only stop on this bank of the river for another two hours, and before 12 o'clock at noon, you must cross the river to the west, otherwise the pursuing enemy will arrive! โ
Zhou Yiyan replied: "Yes." โ
The company commander said, "I will report to my superiors as soon as I get there, and ask that I be sent back to meet you." โ
The company commander shook hands with Zhou Yiyan, blew a whistle, and jumped into the water. In order to reduce the resistance, the soldiers beside the wooden frame have already stripped off their clothes, shouted and shouted, and swam towards the rapids with the wooden frame.
