Battalion Commander Wang asked the soldiers to count. He had no time to check the number of people before. In addition to the dozens of his men, hundreds of captured soldiers were rescued this time. Several of Battalion Commander Wang’s previous soldiers were injured, but No one died, and Battalion Commander Wang was very happy.

Xia Meng walked to the river, washed her hands first, and then took the opportunity to fill the kettle with spiritual spring water. After returning, she took out some wound medicine and bandages from her pocket and said to Battalion Commander Wang,

"I'll give Battalion Commander Li and the injured soldiers a brief bandage first."

Battalion Commander Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Comrade Xia."

While inspecting Battalion Commander Li's wounds, Xia Meng said, "We are all comrades, so there is no need for Battalion Commander Wang to be polite."

Xia Meng helped Battalion Commander Li clean up his wound, sprinkled some wound medicine, and made a simple bandage. He also put the kettle to Commander Li's mouth and fed him some spiritual spring water.

After treating the wounds of Battalion Commander Li, Xia Meng went to treat the wounds of other soldiers.

After finishing his work, Xia Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Like other soldiers, he sat down on the ground, sighed comfortably, and slowly closed his eyes.

Battalion Commander Wang came to Xia Meng's side excitedly and said with a hint of admiration,

"Comrade Xia, how did you do it?"

"so amazing!"

Xia Meng opened her eyes, feeling confused for a moment.

Battalion Commander Wang suppressed his excitement and said, "How did you blow up those two buildings?"

Xia Meng blinked, the confusion in his eyes dissipated, he regained his energy instantly, smiled lightly, and said casually,

"Well... maybe I was lucky. After I entered... I accidentally discovered their ammunition depot."

"I took a lot of guns, ammunition, grenades from their ammunition depot..."

Wang Yingchang sighed, "After you went in, I was worried that you would be discovered. Fortunately, everything went well."

"When we go back, I'll ask you for credit!"

"With your contribution, you should be able to get a first-class merit award!"

Xia Meng smiled and said nothing. She didn't care much about this, and she didn't plan to develop in the army for a long time.

After resting for more than half an hour, Battalion Commander Wang woke everyone up and continued walking.

At dawn, the soldiers were almost exhausted, and Battalion Commander Wang once again announced a break.

Battalion Commander Wang himself took his people to the river and soon came back with a dozen fish weighing two or three kilograms.

Xia Meng reminded, "Captain Wang, we can't light a fire yet, right?"

The smoke will attract enemy troops!

When Battalion Commander Wang heard this, he smiled a little proudly, "It's okay, let's just dig a smokeless stove."

Xia Meng was surprised, "Smokeless stove?"

Battalion Commander Wang was instructing the soldiers to take action at the place he chose, while explaining to Xia Meng, "Yes, just wait, you won't understand, come and see..."

These soldiers under Battalion Commander Wang seemed to have become accustomed to digging smokeless stoves in the wild. They cleared the surrounding weeds with ease, and then started digging at the angle of the slope...

The soldiers first dug a large trapezoidal pit about 70cm in diameter and 60cm deep.

The more people there are, the faster they dig holes!

Dig a smaller one about 30cm away from this pit, and then penetrate the two holes from the bottom. This small pit is used to add dry firewood.

Dig at least three flues extending back above the second hole. The flues don't need to be deep or very long, so they can be dug quickly.

Finally, fill the corner gaps of the second hole with soil, cover the top of the flue with branches, weeds and the like, and cover it with soil.

It took about half an hour to build a smokeless stove in the field. This was without an engineering shovel. Battalion Commander Wang said regretfully,

"If there is an engineering shovel, the speed can be even faster."

Xia Meng carefully remembered the entire process of building a smokeless stove in his mind, and then saw Battalion Commander Wang's soldiers going to collect firewood, and he and others cleaned up the fish.

Without a pot, they could only grill the fish.

After lighting the fire, Xia Meng did not see any smoke, not at all, but very little. It could be seen at a close distance, but if it was further away, nothing could be seen.

How wonderful!

Xia Meng silently praised the person who designed the smokeless stove.

While grilling fish, Battalion Commander Li also woke up.

Hearing that Battalion Commander Li was awake, Battalion Commander Wang immediately ran over.

Seeing Battalion Commander Wang, Li Guorong looked a little excited, "Old Wang!"

"Old Li!" Battalion Commander Wang held Battalion Commander Li's hand. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. They didn't expect to see such a scene when they met again. They were both quite emotional, but their eyes were filled with joy.

"How is your health?" Battalion Commander Wang said worriedly, "Just hold on a little longer and it will be fine when we find the troops."

Battalion Commander Li smiled and shook his head, trying his best to speak in an understatement,

"It's okay, what's this injury?"

"It's you, I didn't expect you to save me. I was planning to sacrifice myself for my country, but I didn't expect... that I could survive."

"I didn't save you. You have to thank Comrade Xia for this!"

"Comrade Xia?" Li Guorong looked puzzled, "What Comrade Xia?"

Battalion Commander Wang waved to Xia Meng, who was standing not far away, "Comrade Xia, please come here."

Xia Meng heard this and walked over, "What's wrong with Battalion Commander Wang?"

After Xia Meng walked over, she saw that Battalion Commander Li was awake and saluted Li Guorong with a smile.

Li Guorong looked at Xia Meng in surprise. When he saw Xia Meng saluting him, he hurriedly raised his hand and put it on his temple.

"Comrade Xia, are you... a field nurse?"

Almost all of the female soldiers who participated in this battle were medical soldiers. Most of them would treat the wounded in battlefield ambulances at the rear, and some would also go to the front line.

Xia Mengdao, "That was it before."

As soon as these words came out, Li Guorong was even more confused.

Xia Meng saw that Camp Commander Li didn't seem to understand the meaning of her words, so she smiled and explained,

"I am actually from the art troupe. After I came here, I found that there were not enough medical soldiers, so I worked as a medical soldier for a few days. Later, a frontline reporter died, and the superiors sent me to be a reporter, but I..."

Having said this, Xia Meng said with some embarrassment, "Reporters are generally neutral and cannot fight the enemy without holding a gun. I watched my comrades sacrifice themselves in front of me, but I couldn't fight back with a gun. I can't stand it. Stop being a reporter and just join the war.”

Hearing Xia Meng's twists and turns, Li Guorong couldn't help laughing. He moved too much and hurt the wound. He grinned and took a breath. He didn't forget to give Xia Meng a thumbs up.

"What a woman!"

Xia Meng blushed a little after being praised and laughed awkwardly, "...it's okay!"

"Oh, Comrade Xia," Battalion Commander Wang was still cheering from the side, "you are just too modest."

"To be honest, although you are a girl, us men are really not as good as you..."

"Oh, okay, okay," Xia Meng quickly stopped, "If you keep talking, I'm going to drift~"

The three of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After the fish was grilled, I took one to Battalion Commander Li first. Battalion Commander Li was not polite. He was a wounded person now. In order not to hinder everyone, he must take care of himself as much as possible and not cause trouble to everyone.

The fish is very fragrant, all thanks to the seasoning contributed by Xia Meng.

"Comrade Xia, your seasoning is so fragrant," Battalion Commander Wang tutted. "This is the first time I've tasted such fragrant grilled fish."

Battalion Commander Li, who was leaning against a big tree and slowly eating grilled fish, nodded, "Indeed, the grilled fish I used to eat at most put a little salt on it, but there are a lot of seasonings in it, and it's rich enough."

The fish is grilled to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, and with the mellow seasonings, it is full of delicious flavor when you take a bite. Xia Meng said casually,

"I like to eat. I happened to meet someone selling seasonings. I thought they were good, so I bought more. This time I went to the battlefield and just grabbed some. I didn't expect that I would actually use them."

After a delicious meal of grilled fish, a soldier went to fetch water and planned to boil some hot water to drink. Xia Meng volunteered to fetch water.

Then she filled all the kettles with spiritual spring water.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, these soldiers were obviously much more energetic. After resting for a while, they continued to set off.
