Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 107 A Last Poem
On the mountain.

Qilian couldn't hear what those Americans were shouting at all.

But they could see clearly that the cracks on the ice layer of the lake became more and more obvious, the collapsed place became bigger and bigger, and more and more people fell.

The soldiers threw their guns in panic, jumped out of the car and ran wildly, trying to escape to a safe place.

However, their speed couldn't keep up with the speed at which the ice cracked.

In less than ten seconds, a huge oval formed a hundred meters around the entire US military convoy, and then the entire ice surface collapsed with a "squeak"!
The entire team of 200 people, in the midst of struggling, fell into the river quickly or slowly.

"Help!"

"Save... Gulu Gulu..."

The shrill screams resounded throughout the Changjin Lake.

Many soldiers tried to climb up with broken ice, but the more they climbed, the stiffer their hands and feet became, and they couldn't get up anyway, and then sank to the bottom of the water...

Some even fell into the lake with the whole car and people. The soldiers could see faint hands around the car trying to reach out, but nothing could be reached...

The ice water bubbled for a while.

The entire shattered lake quickly became strangely quiet.

The shouts are gone, the calls for help are gone, and the Americans who were alive and kicking just now... are all gone.

In the original place, there was only a big hole on the surface of the lake, and the deep blue and cold lake water reflected light slightly.

This scene happened so fast that the soldiers couldn't react.

Yu Congrong swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "...I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Lei Gong pinched him hard: "Does it hurt?"

Yu Congrong was a little confused: "...it hurts!"

"That's not a dream."

The others were no better than Yu Congrong, they were all dumbfounded.

This group of polar bear remnants followed Xu Qing indiscriminately and fired some artillery fire, fired some gunshots, then fell into the water, and then there was no more... More than [-] soldiers of the polar bear regiment were wiped out!

And before and after, the total time is less than 3 minutes.

At this moment, whether it is the battalion commander or the company commander, or these ordinary soldiers, everyone feels like they are living in a dream. They can understand that the ice surface can be smashed, but they can enclose all the enemies in such a precise circle. In the middle, all the dumplings...

Even though they have experienced many battles, they have never heard of it before.

Tan Ziwei is known as an invincible battle hero, and he has fought countless enemies, so he is also a little dazed at this time.

He looked carefully with the binoculars, and there was indeed no movement on the lake. The US military team of more than 200 people was buried under the ice without a sound, and disappeared forever. , came from Xu Qingtian's unconstrained sniping.

He lightly clapped his hands and praised: "Amazing skills!"

The soldiers of other companies, whether they knew Xu Qing or not, couldn't help applauding softly after being astonished.

If it was trust in his comrades before, but at this moment, he really got to know this battle hero who has only been spread recently!

A military reporter next to him quickly took pictures of this scene, and then took pictures of this exciting moment for the lake, Xu Qing, and the excited soldiers.

After taking the photo, he excitedly shook Xu Qing's hand: "Comrade, you are amazing! This is an extremely rare scene in the history of our army's war. Our side was able to achieve such a result without any casualties. Unprecedented!"

Xu Qing was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, he quickly put the gun away, and said: "Without everyone's concerted efforts, I would not be able to break the ice by myself. This is the credit of everyone."

The soldiers didn't care about this, they stepped forward to salute Xu Qing excitedly, everyone was a little excited, celebrating this rare moment of victory.

"Everyone be quiet."

However, Tan Ziwei suddenly put down the radio earphones, checked the message again and again, with a serious face: "Now is not the time to celebrate, we have another problem, the fifth company that should have been ambushing here... has lost contact."

"The division commander was very annoyed when he learned about this, and he called our regiment leader directly to punish the team on Dead Eagle Ridge severely. The regiment asked us to quickly check what happened to them!"

The others also quickly calmed down.

Indeed, no matter what the reason is, the team of the fifth company has not fired a single shot, and there is no trace to show it. I don't know what happened.

"Seven times and nine times, come with me!"

Everyone descended the mountain in an orderly manner from the high ground, crossed the Korean Highway, and went straight to the main peak of Dead Eagle Ridge on the opposite side.

"Report! There are traces of troops moving ahead..."

The snowstorm last night was not particularly heavy. Although it was covered with snow, the scouts soon found some traces of our army's actions in the woods.

Xu Qing quickly checked with the crowd, and found that it was a slight stepping on the footsteps.

He raised his head: "There is not enough snow for two inches, and the traces of footprints happened about last night. Everyone, pay attention to the surrounding situation and search carefully along the main peak."

Tan Ziwei nodded, and he and the company commanders all looked serious.

Xu Qing also felt something strange. Since the fifth company's team was interspersed here, how could it disappear? Was it ambushed by other enemy troops, or bombed by planes?

This is not only his question, but also everyone's question.

There are more than 150 people in Wulian, even if they encounter enemies, someone will survive, right?

To be on the safe side, everyone kept their guns in case something changed.

But as they continued to go up the mountain, another leading scout ran down soon.

"battalion commander!"

The soldier panted and said, "Above, the above found our team..."

Tan Ziwei hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with them, is it Wulian?"

"It's Wulian, they..." The correspondent nodded, Xu Qing keenly observed that his eyes were a little red.

"Lead the way! The commander said that the number of the sharp knife reconnaissance company will be revoked. Take me to see them quickly and ask them clearly!"

Qianli was by his side, and hurriedly blew the whistle to inform the people of the Second Battalion that the commander of the Second Battalion had already rushed over from behind.

After confirming the direction of the target, everyone hurried up the mountain. Once at the top of the mountain, Xu Qing saw that the scouts had already stopped their reconnaissance and stood there blankly.

"What's going on, they..."

The soldiers from the seventh company rushed up the mountain first, and Xu Qing was in the first row. The closer he got, the more he felt nervous.

Because the front is too quiet.

There was neither the eagerness to see the friendly army, nor the whistle sound of a secret signal to communicate, and no one stood up...

Xu Qing already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Until they actually walked to the position on the top of the mountain, the bad result he was least willing to imagine appeared...

"The battalion commander, the company commander, the soldiers of the second battalion and the fifth company are all here..."

The investigator next to him spoke with tears in his eyes. He couldn't help but the tears fell, and when they fell on the snow, they instantly turned into ice drops.

"This……"

After everyone stood still, they couldn't believe it. Many soldiers rubbed their eyes hard, unable to believe the picture in front of them.

The battalion commander of the second battalion rushed up after hearing the news. He was holding a Czech pistol in one hand and was furious:

"Where the fuck is Wulian, where is it! I'm going to cheat him for the teacher..."

But as soon as I came up, I saw all the soldiers standing there silently, no one spoke, and many of them had tears on their faces.

"Five companies? Five companies!"

His heart skipped a beat, he had a bad premonition, and he quickly walked forward to look through the crowd.

"five……"

Seeing this, the fiery Second Battalion Commander froze for a moment, his eyes straightened:
"Impossible! Isn't this... my fifth company?"

He looked at Tan Ziwei next to him, Tan Ziwei sighed heavily, nodded: "It's them..."

The Second Battalion Commander looked at the "Fifth Company" in front of him, his voice was hoarse when he was cursing just now, and he knelt softly on the snow in front of him.

Because less than ten meters ahead, all members of the Fifth Reconnaissance Company of the Volunteer Army, which is full of more than 150 people, are lying there, but they are motionless at the moment, and they are not angry at all...

The soldiers of the fifth company all spread out and lay down on the Dead Eagle Ridge in a battle formation, maintaining a posture ready to shoot and ambush at any time. A few soldiers on shift held their guns and huddled behind the rocks. They were taking a short rest, but this A rest also becomes eternal sleep...

The second battalion commander couldn't help lying down and crying loudly:

"How could it be, how could it be! My Wulian...you little red bastards, I will never scold you again...You guys...get up!!"

The ground was frozen, he beat the ground with one hand, his fist was red from the ice and snow, the little soldier beside him hurriedly helped him up, but he kept hammering and patting his chest, hating himself.

Everyone is also dumb.

rustling...

With a heavy heart, Xu Qing slowly stepped forward to inspect the body.

The soldiers of the fifth company were still like strangers in the ice and snow. They were silent, lying motionless on the crude position, and their guns were still pointing in the direction of the US military convoy below the mountain.

There were no scars or bloodstains on their bodies, and many soldiers had calm and peaceful smiles on their faces, which was the illusion of being frozen in the low temperature.

Their clothes, bodies, and even their rifles are all of the crystal clear amber texture after ice and snow condense, and pieces of ice ridges and snow puffs hang on their bodies.

They have been severely cold, and they have been frozen into human-shaped ice sculptures here!

"At least when they left, there was no pain..."

Xu Qing sighed.

On the front line of the leader, he saw the shy and dull comrade company commander, his crystal clear face under the ice was still simple and honest. Xu Qing still remembered his hearty smile and the dirt on his body like rags. yellow coat...

Looking at him, Xu Qing suddenly remembered, and said, "Didn't we send some cotton clothes, and they didn't wear them?"

The investigator said sadly: "They are all American military uniforms. Many teams like the Fifth Company are reluctant to wear them. They all go to the leading scouts to wear them for camouflage. They can only endure the cold and lie in ambush here alone. , but never thought of..."

He couldn't continue his words, Xu Qing understood that these people were doing everything they could to contribute to the war situation with ordinary but great actions.

What is a hero?

This is the hero.

"……salute."

Under Tan Ziwei's instructions, everyone took off their hats and saluted the army.

At this moment, on the ice and snow mountain, the soldiers stood quietly, paying their highest respect to the "ice sculptures", soldiers, and immortals who also stood motionless on the snow in front of them.

After the ceremony, there was silence all around.

Everyone began to carry the remains of these frozen soldiers in grief, and suddenly someone put down the stretcher and howled violently.

"what happened?"

The soldier whimpered and searched frantically on the ground. It took him a long time to raise his head. He held a half-white finger in his hand:
"he and I……"

When Xu Qing saw the body, he recognized that it was the young volunteer who had met once before.The soldier from Shanghai, Song Amao.

He barely wore half a military overcoat, but the cotton inside had been cleaned out and distributed to everyone.The overcoat was given to Xu Qing by the deputy station chief of Ji'an. In order to allow them to fight better, Xu Qing gave it to the company commander, and the company commander gave it to Song Amao...

Unexpectedly, I ended up staying here.

Song Amao's body was frozen as hard as iron, and he couldn't close it completely, because the two arms holding the gun were too frozen.

The soldier carrying the stretcher accidentally knocked off a finger on Song Amao's body, crying with unspeakable guilt and fear...

After finally putting their fingers together, everyone carefully carried the body onto the stretcher. Xu Qing suddenly saw something falling from Song Amao's arms.

"and many more……"

Xu Qing knelt down and gently picked it up. It was a small diary with broken pages.

He spread it out on his hands, and the handwriting inside was scribbled, still clearly visible through the frozen surface, every word seemed frozen into eternity:

I love my family and my country,
Love my honor more.

I am a glorious volunteer soldier,
Ice and snow!
I will never submit to you.

Even if I freeze to death, I will be proud (ground)——

Stand upon my ground!
