Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 139 December in the Korean War
Wu Qianli has been in a coma for two days.

It happened very suddenly, and everyone was a little panicked for the past two days. Qilian seemed to have lost a backbone, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

In the eyes of everyone, he has always been a tough man who can't be beaten to death, hammered, knocked down, and resounding. No one thought that he would suddenly fall down.

Wu Qianli has been fighting for many years, and he has crossed many bullets and killed many enemies. From the baby-faced warrior who joined the Seventh Company when Lei Gong saw him, he became a respectable veteran and the commander of the Seventh Company.

He loves to laugh, but he is usually very serious.As long as it is a battle, it is rare to see him laughing, only to hear his resolute scolding and orders.But in just two days, the soldiers were a little unaccustomed to the sudden absence of this eloquent figure around them.

On the way back, Xu Qing felt a little heavy when he thought that he hadn't found any medicine.

"Wanli, you're back!"

He was dressed in a snowstorm, and came in from outside the position with a gun, bringing a lot of cold air from his body, which made many sleepy soldiers who were resting shiver.

Song Weiguo, who was on duty at the entrance of the cave, stood up quickly and helped wrap his coat to keep warm.

"No, I'm not cold." Xu Qing took the clothes and returned them. His current physique doesn't need them.

"how is it going?"

Yu Congrong was leaning against the edge of the rocky wall of the pit, covered in injuries.

One of his arms was cut by shell fragments, and it was frozen blue and purple. Ping He was helping him bandage, wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hung it up, and tied it tightly to act as a bandage.But even so, he still couldn't help but to speak, and looked at Xu Qing eagerly.

The dozen or so soldiers nearby all turned their heads and looked over.

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Xu Qing stood still and smiled slightly: "Yes."

He sat cross-legged, reached out and took out all the cloth bags hidden under his armpits, between his chest, and in his pockets, and put them on the ground one by one.

Yu Congrong opened his eyes wide, and Ping He stopped bandaging.

"Bring it back?!" Lei Gong stood up directly.

There are a few winding tunnels in the small tunnel trenches, and each tunnel is crowded with a squad of about ten soldiers. The temperature outside is extremely cold. They all huddled together quietly to keep warm, silently waiting for the daytime bombing past.

At this time, when they heard Song Weiguo's voice, they subconsciously looked over.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, everyone's eyes are straightened:
"Eat! We've got something to eat—"

Xu Qing had already spread out a cloth bag: pieces of white flour steamed buns and rice cakes were exposed inside.

Some soldiers exclaimed: "New Year Cake, it's New Year Cake!"

"what?"

The soldiers who were lying quietly in the trenches in a few ravines a little far away were also alarmed by hearing the words, no matter those who were sleeping, those lying on their stomachs, those who were resting, or those who were on alert.

As the cloth bags they carried were opened one by one, everyone saw these fresh foods. They were slightly frosty on the surface, but the white and tender appearance looked so sweet and delicious.

Xu Qing shook her head: "The temperature outside is too low, it was still hot when I held it..."

He trekked all the way in the snow, but the temperature was too low, and he didn't expect that it would not work if he put it next to his body. It froze and froze in less than half an hour, and he couldn't break it.

"It's okay, just cover it for a while, give me a piece!" Yu Congrong yelled strangely, his joy was beyond words, and he rushed to get up.

Ping He, who was beside him, held his shoulders: "Don't move, it's not finished yet."

"Hiss..." Yu Congrong's expression turned awkward in an instant, and he grinned and said, "Take it easy!"

The other soldiers laughed involuntarily, watching Xu Qing cut up the delicious food piece by piece with a bayonet, everyone was eager to see it.

But everyone is a veteran, surprises are surprises, they all understand organizational discipline, and quickly sat in a row, like children waiting for food in a kindergarten, without making a sound, but their eyes were unconsciously aimed at Xu Qing's hands.

Gulu, Gulu, Gulu...

The soldiers seemed to smell the sweet smell of rice cakes and steamed buns, and their throats couldn't help swallowing, salivating.

Rice cake, this is rice cake!

Even in China, in this day and age, most poor people are only willing to eat some rice cakes during the Chinese New Year.But now, on such a difficult battlefield, I have seen so many for the first time!

God knows how long it's been since they've eaten anything serious?

Yu Congrong was impatient: "Give me a piece."

Lei Gong glared at him: "Don't mess up, sit down. You are the only one in a hurry, you have waited for so long, can't you wait for a few more minutes? Let Wanli divide."

Having said that, the constant gurgling of his throat also revealed his inner desire for fresh food.

"Don't worry, I found this from the Korean puppet army. They have a lot to eat, and I won't be able to grab it if it's not enough..."

And Mei Sheng immediately got up from the ground. He was equally happy, but he still walked up to Xu Qing and whispered, "That medicine..."

Xu Qing was sharing food for everyone, he paused when he heard this, his smile slightly subsided, he raised his head and shook his head gently: "I didn't find it."

He wiped the wet snowflakes from his hair and face, and wiped the cold snow water on his neck, which was bitingly cold, but he didn't feel much all over his body.

"I lay in the snow for half the night. After bombing the airport the night before, the plane was still looking around. There was almost no way out safely."

"I run fast. There is a demolition squad in the 172nd Regiment next door. I guess I'm starving. I climbed out of the trench to find some roots and leaves to eat. I was spotted by an enemy plane within 50 meters..."

He didn't say what he said later, but it was self-evident.

"Be gentle..." Yu Congrong was originally being bandaged by Ping He Dali, and he gritted his teeth in pain. When he heard Xu Qing's words, he endured the pain and interjected: "Then what should I do? Brothers are all hungry and put their bellies on their vests. How can we go down and fight? The company commander has not woken up yet, and we have to find medicine."

"Don't worry, I will find it." Xu Qing said firmly.

Lei Gong sighed: "If you can't find it, forget it. If your brother is awake, he won't want to see you taking risks..."

Xu Qing didn't speak.

But the decision he made in his heart will never give up easily.

After sharing the rice cakes, he slightly declined everyone's suggestion to let him eat too. He took a few steps outside and looked at the joint of the sky outside the small sealed trench from the entrance of the cave. There was a dark and gloomy sky .

Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and there were rumbling dark clouds and thunder in the depths of the sky, which was the sound of US military aircraft engines starting.Being in the same place, he couldn't tell where the enemy plane was and where the thunder and lightning were.

But this is the current battlefield, their frontier.

After Wu Qianli was knocked down by a shell that day, he was in a coma for two consecutive days, only waking up once in the middle, and handed over the combat affairs of the Seventh Company to Mei Sheng, Lei Gong, and Xu Qing, and then he had a high fever.

Everyone has used all the local methods and first aid on the battlefield that they know, but none of them work, and now they are suffering.If he can't get the medicine from the Americans... he probably won't last long.

The soldiers tried to find medicines from some enemy corpses, but most of the people who charged upwards recently were Koreans, and American soldiers also knocked down some, but they were quickly dragged back by the follow-up support.

For this reason, Yu Congrong and several scouts were also injured during the investigation.

He saw it clearly and was anxious in his heart.The artillery fire of the U.S. military is covering and spreading everywhere. Yesterday was the first day he ventured out, but he worked overnight and did not gain anything.

He was thinking about it when suddenly there was a buzzing sound above his head.

"The plane is coming again." The soldiers were eating, their faces changed slightly, and they all understood immediately.

Lei Gong listened: "Flying very low..."

It's loud and close.They are swooping and patrolling against the top of the highland, still so high-spirited, even through the walls of the trenches, everyone can hear the roar of the engine close to their ears.

Yu Congrong cursed and said, "I really want to beat the bastard down..."

Everyone didn't speak, put down the food and other things in their hands, silently clenched their guns, and listened carefully.

Soon, the plane stretched upwards, and the sound was far away, but immediately there were sounds of breaking through the air——

call out!call out!call out!
Xu Qing waved.

The soldiers have long been accustomed to it, and without saying a word, they all immediately buried their heads and hugged important items such as artillery and machine guns, and then the bombs pulled and screamed near their heads, fell, and exploded.

The rumbling vibration can be felt no matter where it is. This kind of covering bombing may be affected as soon as it goes out, and it will fall into skin if it is not killed.

The bang was still ringing, and dirt and dust kept shaking from the heads of the crowd.

During the silence, Xu Qing said: "The Americans have stepped up air patrols in the past two days. Originally, there were only planes during the day, and they also dispatched a lot of sorties last night."

Song Weiguo asked: "Are they impatient?"

Xu Qing nodded, noncommittal.

"Come on, come on, the worst thing is to fight, you can't escape anyway..." the old god Lei Gong said.

While everyone was talking silently, the plane slowly stopped dropping bombs, and then flew away with a whistling sound. The sound of bombing around gradually stopped, and the soldiers also relaxed slightly.

"Damn it, I didn't catch it."

Yu Congrong grabbed the piece of hard rice cake that had fallen to the ground in distress, rubbed the dirty ash on the white and clean place where the wound sling was applied, and then stuffed it into his mouth immediately.

Ahh!

He just took a bite out of his mouth, and he sneezed straight from the cold, with snot and tears pouring out of his face.

"Don't rush to eat, you have to cover it for a while, you're all hurt, don't freeze your stomach again." Lei Gong said quickly.

The cold wind was whistling in his ears. Because he was a wounded person, Yu Congrong was given an extra thin quilt, and he was wrapped with Pinghe and the others, but he could still feel the biting cold coming from every place where the wind leaked.

He nodded.But he still refused to put down the piece of rice cake, gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Qing beside him puzzledly: "Wanli, why aren't you cold?"

Xu Qing stared blankly at the sky, he couldn't see the planes dispatched there, but he could hear the sound, he was just in a daze.

Two white mist spewed out from his nose: "My heart is cold..."

look at the sky.Even in broad daylight, there was still a faint morning moon hanging in the sky on the west side of the trench, which was very round and bright.

It didn't take a long time, and the plane's bombs were still falling on the white moon. According to the usual combat habits of the US military, they should be attacking the mountain at this time.

Sure enough, Xu Qing soon saw the signal soldiers in the trenches in the distance who were prostrate in the cave entrance, so he blew the emergency whistle.

"Everyone, are you ready?" He raised his gun and asked.

The lively scene just now was silent for an instant.

In the days when he was away for thousands of miles, he was the combat commander of the Seventh Company.

He didn't speak any more, just watched.The soldiers understood in an instant, silently put down the hard steamed buns and rice cakes they were gnawing on, and picked up guns and ammunition to stand up—this series of actions are familiar to everyone, and they have formed an instinct between life and death. .

Xu Qing glanced at Wu Qianli who was lying in the innermost part of the trench. He was covered with a thick quilt, and only half of his calm face was exposed.

The bombing sound was so loud that he was still unconscious.

"Walk."

Turn around again.It was snowing heavily outside, sharp bombs dropped and exploded in the sky, and all I could see was the cold light of day, the cold snow, the cold wind, the cold shells, and he went straight to those The heart of the enemy has been extremely cold.

　The plot of fighting the enemy plane is over first.Originally it was written at the back, but recently I was in a hurry to write it in a hurry, so I wrote it here for some reason.The taste is wrong, a lot of foreshadowing is wasted, the writing is not good, and it is out of the outline.

　　Immediately, I will rewrite these chapters and change the text.

　　I stayed in the hospital on the second day after I left my job, and I rewrote it intermittently for a few days after returning home. Ten chapters have been revised, and there are about fifteen chapters left.It is expected to be completed within three days. The changes will be relatively large. The previous plot will become more compact, and many parts will be merged, deleted, and many new contents will be added.Because of the continuity of the plot, I will upload them all at once after the modification.

　　Those who have subscribed do not need to subscribe again, and you can watch it after refreshing.

　　At last.Wish everyone:

　　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion, and less suffering from being away from home thousands of miles away.
