Behind him came the voice of squad leader Luo Wensong.

"Flask, how old are you?"

"I don't know."

"I'm nineteen years old this year, I heard my father say that I can go home this year to marry my mother-in-law, and my father still wants me to pass on the lineage to him."

Bang bang bang!

A series of bullets hit the tree in front of him, Feng Yuelong shrank his head, and shouted while firing back:

"I miss my mother-in-law, I don't know what I will marry in the future."

The voice stopped abruptly, the flask turned around, Feng Yuelong was lying on the ground, his head tilted, a string of eye-catching blood marks flowing out from under his hat, his eyes were still open, not losing their color, as if with anticipation for the future.

"Leaping Dragon!" The flask felt cramping in his heart, looked at the approaching stick soldier, raised his gun and killed one while he was unprepared, and then ran to Feng Yuelong's body, Feng Yuelong was his very good friend in the company, the age gap between the two was not much, when he first joined the company, Feng Yuelong was already in the company, he was the youngest in the company, after he went, he became the youngest in the company.

Feng Yuelong took care of the flask like other old soldiers took care of him, and the nickname of the flask was still Feng Yuelong.

He said that the flask can fight tanks, and he hopes that he will be like a flask in the future, and he can really fight tanks.

For Feng Yuelong, the tank was a lingering nightmare in his heart, and every time he faced the tanks of the reactionaries, they had to sacrifice many, many fighters. He thought to himself, how good it would be if there was someone to deal with the tank, but he couldn't do it himself, so he hoped that the flask could deal with it, but it was too reluctant, and the flask was not big at that time.

It was not their turn to deal with tanks, and even if they wanted to, the squad leader would stop them and prevent them from going up.

Whether it is Feng Yuelong or the flask, they all have great admiration for the squad leader, because the squad leader has saved their lives more than once.

Feng Yuelong was shot by the enemy, which angered the anger in the flask's heart, and he looked back at the stick soldiers who surrounded him with an angry face, he knew in his heart that he wanted to buy time for the squad leader and Gangzi to escape.

"Yuelong, you will marry a mother-in-law."

The flask's voice was a little firm, "It will be." ”

Listening to the gunshots coming from behind, Luo Wensong didn't feel good in his heart, he knew in his heart that staying was basically a dead end, and just as he thought, the gunshots were farther away from them, and the enemy was dragged by the flask and the Yuelong, but it didn't last long, the gunfire stopped, and with an explosion, the forest fell into a short calm.

Gangzi who was running stopped, looked back at the direction of the explosion, and his eyes widened.

"Flask them."

One of the fighters gripped his gun so hard that his eyes turned red.

"Let's go!"

Luo Wensong heard the approaching gunshot, grabbed Gangzi's clothes hard, and the sound choked out of his throat.

He was a little unable to face the sacrifice of the flasks, and came out of the country together, a class of more than ten people, and now there are only so many people left.

"Squad leader! You will definitely not be able to run out like this, the enemy is chasing too closely, we will stay and break the queen, Gangzi, you must go out alive with the squad leader, you must live. ”

The remaining two warriors looked at the rolling hills, and they knew in their hearts that the four of them would definitely not be able to run out together, and running separately might be able to share the pressure on Gangzi and them.

"Come back!" Luo Wensong turned around, and the two of them had already burrowed into the bushes in the direction of the enemy.

"Squad leader, let's go, we have sacrificed so many people, we must live."

"Alive, alive, for me, people have sacrificed, how can I live!"

Luo Wensong's heart was extremely painful, even if he really survived, he would live in torment and pain for the rest of his life, because the sacrifices of the flasks were all for themselves.

Gangzi was silent and didn't speak, he silently carried Squad Leader Luo, and moved forward with difficulty, surrounded by gunshots, several stick soldiers chased after them, bullets flew above their heads, urging Gangzi to keep running forward, carrying Squad Leader Luo, his physical strength was overdrawn, completely supported by will, every breath, became extraordinarily heavy, spicy, as if there were blades cutting his lungs, and his steps became heavier and heavier.

The voices behind him kept approaching.

"Put me down! Gangzi! Put me down! If you don't put me down, none of us will be able to leave! ”

Luo Wensong listened to the sound of approaching from behind, and his heart became more and more anxious, if there was only Gangzi alone, he could easily retreat, but with his back, he couldn't run away at all.

After a little struggle, Gangzi, who was already physically exhausted, fell to the ground, Luo Wensong also rolled to the side, the thigh that was blown off hit hard, the wound suddenly cracked open, and the blood quickly overflowed the bandage, and the heart-rending pain continued to twitch Luo Wensong's heart and nerves, making his face hideous, he gritted his teeth hard, did not make a sound, and then went to touch his own gun.

"Squad leader." Gangzi gasped violently, he was too tired, he was too tired.

"Silence!"

Luo Wensong seemed to have made some kind of decision, grabbed the gun and climbed forward, until he climbed more than ten meters, and he didn't have time to catch his breath.

A thud of gunfire rang out behind him.

It's Gangzi!

Luo Wensong turned around and heard Gangzi's voice: "Dog, Lao Tzu is here, come and catch Lao Tzu." ”

Immediately after, the sound of scribbling gunshots and shaking bushes through the woods was heard.

Seven or eight stick soldiers surrounded Gangzi's position.

"Gangzi!"

The corners of Luo Wensong's eyes were cracked, the bushes were too high, blocking his vision, and his calf was blown off, so that he could not fully stand up, and could only listen to the noisy gunshots, which constantly rang out between the mountains and fields.

The gunfire faded away, and everything was quiet again.

"Gangzi, Gangzi." Luo Wensong's heart tightened, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and immediately took out a grenade from his arms and took a deep breath.

The bushes in front of him were suddenly pulled open, and several figures appeared in front of him, Luo Wensong shouted, pulled the grenade in his hand, and pounced: "Dog, I'll fight with you!" ”

Xia Yuan's eyes were quick, and he kicked the grenade in Luo Wensong's hand, grabbed it, and said, "Comrade! Own! ”

When Luo Wensong heard this, he suddenly raised his head, and there were two volunteer soldiers in front of him, and he suddenly remembered something: "Comrade, where are my soldiers, where are my soldiers." ”

Xia Yuan didn't speak, and the face of Si Jize, a soldier of the machine gun company, showed a trace of gloom.

"Comrade, take me to see them." Luo Wensong also realized something and said pleadingly.

In front of Gangzi's corpse, Luo Wensong was lying on Xia Yuan's back, his face showing heartache.

"When we arrived, he was engaged in a battle with the enemy, and he did not take a step back, and he was shot several times, and he could not be saved."

On the mountain, they heard fierce gunshots, accompanied by the sound of explosions, Xia Yuan ran over with them non-stop, still one step too late.

The distance was too far, and they were chased closely by the stick soldiers, and when they arrived, it was too late.

"The other two fighters, I've already asked people to go and look for them, don't worry, they should be fine, we'll send you to a safe place first."

"Thank you, comrade, which unit are you from."

"One battalion and one company of the 538th Regiment."

"The squad leader of the second platoon of the seventh company of the second battalion of the 540th regiment, my name is Luo Wensong."

"Company Commander, Xia Yuan."

"Xia Yuan, are you Xia Yuan?"

"You know me?"

"It's in the newspaper, why don't you know it, big hero, thank you, Commander Xia, if it weren't for you, maybe I would have died with the enemy."

There was another gunfire in the distance, very intense, it was estimated that Lao Yang had exchanged fire with the enemy, accompanied by the sound of fierce grenade explosions.

Xia Yuan was not worried, Lao Yang and the others carried a lot of grenades, and they could kill all the enemies just by relying on the grenades.

"No thanks, it's all my own family, don't talk to two families." Xia Yuan shouted: "Si Jize, bury the body of your comrade first." Squad Leader Luo, you wait here, I'll take a look. ”

"Company Commander Xia, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry."

Squad Leader Luo leaned under the tree, looked at Xia Yuan's back as he walked away, his eyes fell on Gangzi's body again, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and muddy tears rolled down his cheeks, drawing a striking tear mark on his cheeks blackened by gunsmoke.

"Squad Leader Luo, cheer up, the pressure on our company commander is even greater than yours."

Si Ji Ze dug a pit with a sapper shovel while chatting with Squad Leader Luo.

His voice was a little heavy, "Squad Leader Luo, our company came out of North Korea, fought no less than five battles, each time, the company commander took us to rush to the front, a company of many sacrifices, up to now, a company is left a few soldiers, I am not a company of soldiers, I am a soldier of the machine gun company, the casualties of a company are too great, there are not many people, the company commander with us still did not give up, interspersed behind enemy lines, hit the enemy's transport troops, and captured a lot of materials. ”

When talking about the company commander leading them behind enemy lines and capturing enemy materials, Si Jize's tone became a lot lighter, and even a little proud: "So far, the company commander has taken us to seize more than a dozen trucks of supplies, which were sent to brother troops on the way, and a lot of medicines were also seized. ”

"Not long ago, the company commander took us across the river, touched the enemy's position, and drove away two trucks, which were loaded with a lot of supplies."

As he spoke, his face showed pride, and the sweat did not affect his proud energy at all, and he told Luo Wensong excitedly.

Luo Wensong listened, as if listening to a book from heaven, from the previous distress to shock, he thought, if he is a company commander, there are only a few soldiers left in the entire company, what should he do, it is estimated that he will fight to the death with the enemy until he dies.

Not to mention a company, it is a dozen people in a class, all of whom are his brothers, and just now, he was ready to sacrifice.

"Me"

Team Leader Luo opened his mouth, a tingling pain in his heart, and he was full of admiration for Xia Yuan.

"Squad Leader Luo, our company commander once said to us that those who are alive should live better, work hard to kill foreign devils, carry the banner of those sacrificed soldiers, and continue to defend the country."

Si Jize straightened up and wiped the sweat from his face.

Squad Leader Luo smiled bitterly: "My leg has been blown off, and I have become a waste." ”

"You can press bullets, when you fight a blocking battle, there are many wounded comrades, and after they are carried to the rear, they will press bullets on the soldiers on the front line."

Si Jize is a soldier of the machine gun company, during the blocking battle, they are in the rear, stay with the wounded, and many seriously wounded people are resting in the rear, they will press the bullets for the soldiers fighting on the front line, "The instructor said that every soldier is an important part of a group, just like a truck, without one wheel, the truck can't run." ”

"Squad leader, squad leader."

While speaking, two soldiers ran over from a distance, and appeared in front of Squad Leader Luo with a disgraced face, and Squad Leader Luo's eyes flashed with hope: "You guys, it's okay if you're okay." ”

"Squad leader, the flask is not sacrificed!"

A slightly older looking warrior had an excited look on his face.

"Flasks without sacrifices?"

Squad Leader Luo was stunned for a moment.

"Squad leader."

The flask that was supported by Lao Yang and Fu Weiquan appeared in front of Squad Leader Luo, the flask was covered with wounds, blood infected the cotton clothes on his body, bandages were wrapped around the outside, and his face was covered with large and small wounds.

"It's good if you're not dead, it's good if you're not dead." Squad Leader Luo almost burst into tears.

"Squad leader, I'm sorry, Yuelong sacrificed." The flask blamed himself.

"Gangzi has also sacrificed, we have to carry the banner on their bodies and take them to continue to defend the country, and you don't have to blame yourself."

Squad Leader Luo turned his eyes and looked at Xia Yuan: "Lian Commander Xia, thank you, if it weren't for your timely appearance, maybe all of us would have died here." ”

"The family doesn't talk to each other, Lao Yang, first bury the remains of Comrade Gangzi and Comrade Yuelong, the injuries on Comrade Yaobi's body need to be treated, it just so happens that we have seized a lot of medicines, and by the way, the injuries on the body of the squad leader Luo can also be dealt with simply."

After a short period of acquaintance, only squad leader Luo and three comrades were left in the second class, one nicknamed Flask, one called Tie Niu, and the other called Cook.

The original name of the flask was Xu Shaoping, Tie Niu's surname was Li, called Li Tie Niu, he was not low, compared with Ma Da, the cook was a little older, surnamed Zhang, a good dish for stir-frying, and later joined the army, just stayed in the cooking class, and then wanted to go to the battlefield, so he came to the second class.

The bodies of Comrade Gangzi and Comrade Yuelong were buried, no monument was erected, and when they were discovered by the enemy, the enemy would destroy the grave, and many of the soldiers who sacrificed did not have a monument, not even a coffin, and everyone only made them a grass bed, branches, and leaves, which was their final destination.

"When the motherland is strong, I will take you back, please rest assured."

Xia Yuan took out two cigarettes from his arms, wiped a match, lit them and inserted them in front of the graves of the two.

Xia Yuan, who stood up slowly, looked solemn.

"Take off your hat!"

"Salute!"
