Before the pull-out, Xia Yuan met an unexpected person, Li Mengqi, Comrade Xiao Li, her arrival surprised Xia Yuan.

"Comrade Xiao Li, you haven't withdrawn yet? Why are you still here. ”

Ma Da and Xiao Li are also very familiar, and they belong to the kind that does not quarrel and do not know each other.

"I can't leave, it rained two days ago, the water in the Han River is relatively turbulent, and there are so many seriously injured." Li Mengqi shook her head and asked curiously, "Why are you here?" What about the others? ”

Because of Lin Qingxue, Li Mengqi also dealt with Yilian a few times, and he was relatively familiar with Yilian, and when he was pulled, there were hundreds of people in Yilian.

Suddenly, Li Mengqi seemed to think of something again, her eyes froze slightly, and she said a little dimly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." ”

"It's okay, that's how the war is, maybe after a while, you probably won't be able to see us anymore."

Xia Yuan smiled, not caring at all.

Ma Da and a few of them were laughing.

Instructor Shao asked, "Comrade Xiao Li, how is Comrade Xiao Lin now?" ”

During the first phase of the Fifth Campaign, the 180th Division was in the rear as a reserve and stayed in the tunnels and dense forests all day.

It can be said that every day during that time was the same as the New Year.

Comrade Xiao Li and Comrade Xiao Lin also ran to the station of the first battalion and one company of the 538th Regiment of the 180th Division without having anything to do.

Instructor Shao is also very familiar with Comrade Lin Mengxue, she often says that Xia Yuan looks very much like her brother, Lin Mengxue's brother is a martyr, he participated in the Battle of Yunshan in the first battle, and he fought so hard that he directly stunned the foreign devils, so the big guy still has a very deep impression of Comrade Lin Mengxue.

And Lin Mengxue and Li Mengqi are very good friends, but Li Mengqi appeared here today, but Lin Mengxue was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Yuan also looked at Li Mengqi with some curiosity.

Li Mengqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Instructor, Lin Mengxue, she was injured. ”

Everyone was slightly startled, Xia Yuan and Instructor Shao glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked about their situation. Li Mengqi said: "Mengxue, she was injured. ”

Xia Yuan hurriedly asked, a little anxious, "How is it, is the injury serious?" ”

Li Mengqi nodded hesitantly and said: "During a transportation mission, her convoy was bombed by a US military plane, and when she was rescuing supplies, she was blown up by a bomb dropped by an enemy plane and lost her hands. ”

The crowd stood dumbfounded, silently.

Xia Yuan's eyes were full of incredulity, and after a long time, she muttered, "Her dream is to be a violinist." ”

Lao Yang hurriedly asked, "Company commander, are we going to see Comrade Xiaolin?" ”

Xia Yuan glanced at Li Mengqi, stared at Lao Yang again, shook his head decisively, and said: "The task is tight, Comrade Xiao Li, say hello to Lin Qingxue on my behalf, when the battle is over, I will go to see her." ”

He turned his head again and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

Li Mengqi stood in place, watching more than a dozen soldiers of the first company walk past her, their figures quickly got into the dense forest and disappeared, she looked at the person who looked very similar to her brother in Lin Qingxue's mouth, she shouted: "Xia Yuan, Lin Qingxue told me that if I see you, I must tell you to come back alive." ”

Xia Yuan's back in the crowd was still firm, his footsteps did not stop at all, and he strode into the dense forest.

No one could see the strong-looking man, his hand trembling lightly twice.

After a long time, a strong voice came from the dense forest: "Take care of her for me." ”

Li Mengqi retracted his gaze and hurriedly ran towards the hospital, meeting Wang Xuebin, the leader of the reconnaissance squad along the way, "Comrade Xiao Li, I saw Company Commander Xia." ”

Li Mengqi nodded and said, "See, squad leader Wang, thank you." ”

Wang Xuebin sighed: "Lin Qingxue is also half my sister, how pitiful this little girl is, my brother is gone, and I am so seriously injured." ”

Li Mengqi's eyes became a little dim, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she asked, "By the way, Squad Leader Wang, do you know what mission Commander Xia is going to perform?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Wang Xuebin shook his head: "Comrade Xiao Li, I don't know much about this, and even if I really know about the operation mission, I can't tell you." ”

Li Mengqi didn't ask any more questions, it was related to the operation task, and she couldn't ask herself, she worked in the division headquarters at the beginning, and later transferred to the newspaper office of the division headquarters, and the other layer of identity is a nurse, and it is easy for female comrades to work.

"Squad Leader Wang, then I'll go first."

"Oh yes."

Saying goodbye to squad leader Wang, Li Mengqi quickly came to the hospital, Lin Qingxue didn't fall asleep, looking at the grass shed with her eyes open, Li Mengqi cautiously walked through the aisle and came to Lin Qingxue's side, as if she felt someone approaching, Lin Qingxue's eyes moved.

"Qingxue, why haven't you slept yet, don't you sleep for a while?" Li Mengqi squatted beside her, looked at the wound bandaged by the other party, and asked, "Is the medicine ineffective, and the division headquarters has sent another batch of medicines, which is quite a lot, shall I apply for you a little more?" ”

"Mengqi, don't bother." Lin Qingxue's eyes were a little gray, and she said: "The medicine is left for the comrades who need it, my wound has been stabilized, and it doesn't hurt, but I am so annoyed that I can't sleep, and my brain is buzzing." ”

"Ugh." Li Mengqi sighed, hesitating in her heart whether to tell Lin Qingxue about seeing Xia Yuan.

Lin Qingxue misses her brother very much, otherwise she wouldn't have joined the army at the beginning of the fifth battle and fought in Korea, all of which were thinking about making trouble.

Maybe God also took pity on Lin Qingxue and let her meet a person in North Korea who looked and looked very similar to her sacrificial brother, but God took away her hands as if she had no feelings. Li Mengqi looked at Lin Qingxue, whose eyes were blank, and couldn't bear to say, "Qingxue, I met Xia Yuan just now." ”

The originally godless pupils gradually regained color, turned his head and looked at her in disbelief, his voice was a little hoarse, and a little excited: "You, you really met Xia Yuan?" Where did you meet? ”

"Division, he should be on a new combat mission, I was going to let him come and see you."

"Don't, I'm like this now, he should be worried when he sees it."

Li Mengqi sighed in her heart, my stupid Qingxue, I have already told him about your situation. Li Mengqi nodded and said, "I told him, you are doing well now." ”

"That's okay, that's okay." Lin Qingxue muttered, "Mengqi, thank you." ”

"It's okay, who made you my good friend." Li Mengqi helped Lin Qingxue comb her dirty hair, and said, "You can rest assured, Xia Yuan's life is great, and he has made a lot of contributions, it would be better if he were your brother." ”

Lin Qingxue didn't speak, looked up at the grass shed, and said, "Mengqi, can you see the stars tonight?" ”

Li Mengqi looked back, the moon was hazy, she couldn't see it really, there were black clouds shrouded, and the stars couldn't be seen, she laughed and said, "Yes, you can see it, and the moon, it's very bright." ”

"My mother said that the relatives who leave will become stars in the sky, and at night, after you fall asleep, they will look at you and silently guard you, my brother is also watching me now."

Lin Qingxue's voice was very soft and soft, like she was in a dream.

Li Mengqi looked at it, but saw that Lin Qingxue actually closed her eyes, which startled her, and hurriedly reached out and put it on Lin Qingxue's neck, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and smiled: "You girl, you sleep so fast, I thought"

Speaking of this, Li Mengqi suddenly stopped talking, looking at Lin Qingxue's face, this girl has not eaten well recently, she has not slept well, she is worried about something, it seems that she is worried about Xia Yuan, and it is also, when the 180th Division did not go to the front line to fight, that period was the happiest time for Lin Qingxue, and she met another very important person.

A man who resembles her brother.

Now that she heard the good news from Xia Yuan, the nerves that this girl had been tense relaxed.

Li Mengqi stood up and looked at the soldiers under the shed, there was dirty air floating in the air, mixed with unpleasant smells, but the soldiers slept very soundly, and the batch of medicines sent by the division headquarters made the soldiers finally change to medicine, and they were finally able to sleep well tonight, and they didn't need to be woken up by the pain of the wound.

She stood there with a relieved smile on her face.

There was a faint sound of cannons on the mountains and fields in the distance, which made the smile on Li Mengqi's face disappear, and there was a little worry, I don't know when this battle will end, and I don't know how many young soldiers will die in the battle, how many parents have lost their children, how many wives have lost their husbands, and how many children have lost their fathers.

She watched as the green faces appeared under the tent in the dim light.

Many of them are young at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but they shoulder the burden of protecting their families and defending the country.

Li Mengqi didn't know how she felt in her heart, she just hoped that if this war could be won, if the dear motherland was still there, if they were gone one day, there would still be such a group of people who would go forward for the country they loved.

Because what they love is what they love.

The air in the dense forest was a little hotter, and the cries of insects were rarely heard.

The water level of the Han River gradually rose with the rain a few days ago, the water flow was turbulent for a few minutes, and the crossing by the river, the bushes and grass rustled, and more than a dozen soldiers who were hurrying in the dark appeared by the river, and the sound of the rushing water slapped on the shore, and the momentum was not small.

"This is the ferry where we crossed the river."

Instructor Shao looked at the vast Han River with vigilant eyes.

"Is there a layer of fog on the surface of the river?"

Chen Lie held the gun and stared at the hazy river, unable to see it really, and could not see the other side of the river at all.

"Yes, it's very light, it's very humid today, it's stuffy and hot, and it's going to rain."

Xia Yuan looked at the other side of the river, and after turning on his night vision and eagle eye, he found that the ferry on the other side of the river had been occupied by the enemy, and the speed of the Korean army was not slow, and it was estimated that he had received an order from his superiors. Occupy the ferry tonight, launch a fierce attack on the positions of the 180th Division during the day tomorrow, and tomorrow will be the most tragic battle.

"It's so hot, I'm sweating all over."

Ma Da squatted on the ground, twisted the wind buckle in front of his neck uncomfortably, and muttered in his mouth: "Grandma, it will rain again tomorrow, it is estimated that foreign devils don't need to come to the shore to block us, we can't get by." ”

"Yes, it's really strange today, it's about to rain, and if it rains again tomorrow, the water in the Han River is estimated to be even more urgent."

Instructor Shao had a little worry between his eyebrows.

"The division commander will definitely send people over to check on a regular basis, and arrange a lot of guard posts in other places, what we can think of, the division commander they must want to get."

Xia Yuan stared intently, rummaged through his memory, thought of the location of the wire, and said: "We will cross the river from here tonight, and keep silent the whole time, the enemy has occupied the other side of the river." ”

"What!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at the other side of the river in disbelief, hazy, so that they could not see it very really, but they heard the news that the other side of the river was occupied by the enemy.

Naturally, they would not doubt the truth of what the company commander said, and everyone basically believed the company commander unconditionally. The company commander said that if the other side of the river was occupied by the enemy, it must have been occupied by the enemy.

Instructor Shao hesitated and said, "Since the enemy has occupied the other side of the river, do we still want to cross the river from here?" ”

"To cross the river, when we came here, we crossed the river from here, there are three wires under the river, and we have no way to pull the wires when we cross the river from other places, and we don't have tools on us."

Xia Yuan looked up at the sky, and said, "Now let's go to find the tools, let's not say if you can find them, it's already too late in time." ”

Ma Da said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" ”

"Find the wire first!"

Xia Yuan stared at the shore, looking for the picture of going ashore in his memory, and then said, "Follow me!" ”

Picking up the grass and walking forward more than 30 meters away, they stopped on a grassy field, the big guy squatted on the ground, looked at the tumbling river, and looked up in the distance, the rising mist made the distance look very hazy, and vaguely saw a faint light sweeping across the river surface.

"You're waiting here,"

Xia Yuan held the gun, quickly ran to the bank of the river, jumped into the water with a plop, looked around, and soon saw that the shore not far away was in the form of a cliff, with several big trees growing on the bank, the roots of the trees were deep in the ground, and the wire was tied to the trees.

Stabilizing his body, Xia Yuan swam over quickly, groping and searching in the water with both hands, and soon found the wire that rolled with the rolling of the river.

Remembering the position of the wire, he ran to the shore and shook his sleeves, the wet cotton clothes were a little more cold and heavy, the water fell to the ground dripping, and his feet made a snapping sound on the ground, and he ran quickly in front of everyone.

"Found it, let's go!"
