The battle started at about two o'clock in the morning, and by three o'clock, the sound of gunfire was like a New Year's Eve, and the sky was bright red.

The artillery fire shot up into the sky, and the sky was like Star Wars. Ballistic trajectories flashed with red, yellow or white brilliance, hitting various places in the hilly highlands, and the sound of brown-brown bullets pierced through the ears.

Taking advantage of the waves of large troops going up the mountain for support, a team carried explosive bags and equipment from the regiment headquarters, bent down and quietly walked around the mountain and headed straight into the distance.

"How far is the bridge from here?"

While walking thousands of miles, I looked at topographic maps.

He had already climbed up from the stretcher. After his fever subsided, he had no injuries on his body. Although his bones were still weak, he did not want others to carry him.

Xu Qing: "About eighteen kilometers."

Qianli: "If you are quick, you can get there today."

Xu Qing shook his head: "We can't hurry up, everyone is injured."

He looked back and saw that everyone was wearing white bandages and earthen plasters. The small wounds became a burden even in the freezing weather.

See him turn around.

Yu Congrong couldn't hold it back: "Wanli..."

Thousands of miles back: "Call the deputy company commander."

Xu Qing is now the deputy company commander of the Seventh Company. Not an agent, but officially.

With his military exploits, he should have been promoted quickly, but he was pushed down until now entirely because the war situation was too urgent. As for the Seventh Company, Commander Huang and Commander Wang had just conveyed to him the message from Commander Zhan of the 27th Army at the regiment headquarters.

appointment.

This appointment was unanimously approved by everyone, including Qianli. When Qianli was injured, he was the one who temporarily made the decision.

"Yes, look at my mouth - my company commander and deputy company commander, comrades, when can we rest? Many soldiers' feet are about to be frozen!"

"If you keep at it, this section will be very dangerous."

Xu Qing listened to the artillery fire.

I wanted to stop, but was helpless.

"Is it okay for those from the second squad to stay below?" Song Weiguo heard this and leaned on his gun. He was still injured and was a little weak as he followed the troops.

Xu Qing continued walking, and he advocated leaving more than 20 seriously injured people inside the cave, with broken legs and hemiplegia. "They can't go on the road. If someone takes care of them, they will have a better chance of survival."

Wu Qianli: "That's right. Since it's an emergency bridge bombing mission, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful along the way. If you come with us, then you're in trouble..."

boom.

……Snapped!

While he was talking, a cannonball flew over from the Xiajieyuli Plain on the other side of the mountain. It landed on the mountain and exploded, creating a large gap. Stones, branches and branches flew everywhere, and everyone hurriedly fell down.

"The Americans can't finish their artillery fire..." Lei Gong trembled his lips and kept mumbling. His hearing was damaged originally. After being shot, the left facial nerve also had some defects like Song Weiguo's.

Constantly twitching.

Yu Congrong held him up with one hand and said in his ear: "Speak less, don't you know what you are like? You still have to follow me!"

"What am I like..." The two of them said they were supporting each other, rather than supporting each other. Lei Gong didn't let go after hearing his words, he said hehe, "My artillery platoon is here, do you think I can help the weak ones?"

——If you say another ten thousand words, wouldn’t you be here even if you become disabled?”

"Who the hell is disabled! I can kill ten enemies with one hand..."

Listening to the two people bickering, Xu Qing felt helpless. At any time, the two of them were a pair of old and young treasures in the team - no, middle-aged treasures.

Suddenly, Xu Qing waved his hand, and the troops squatted down row after row, and the sound of talking suddenly disappeared.

Buzz buzz...

There is movement of tanks.

Everyone lay lurking in the snow and listened: it was the metal tracks of tanks on the other side of the mountain that were rolling over the mountain and moving upwards. They were not far away from them, probably only a hundred or so meters away, and were approaching soon.

This sound was all too familiar to them: Americans were fighting on the mountain. For a moment, everyone in the Seventh Company seemed to be reminded of yesterday's last desperate battle when they ran out of ammunition and food.

Everyone said nothing, with serious faces. There was no retreat in front of the mountain or behind the mountain. The sound of tanks was getting closer and closer, and the guns they held in their hands became tighter and tighter.

Yu Congrong grabbed the gun and turned around.

His mouth moved invisibly: Hit?

Qianli also looked at him.

Fighting -? They are tasked with intersecting, and it is best not to fight without fighting. Once engaged, it will be difficult to escape, which will delay the progress of the mission. Moreover, in order to quickly intersperse, they have gone into battle lightly, and a lot of heavy firepower has been thrown away, but now

This situation...

"Then..."

The sound of tanks was getting closer and closer to their trail. Xu Qing took a breath and was about to reply.

There was a squad leader of the guard regiment in the trekking team on the left side of the mountain. He saw their actions and suddenly stood up from the grass. Xu Qing had met that man at the regiment headquarters.

"We are here, you go this way!"

He stood up and waved to the 7th Company, then, holding a pistol, he led a dozen people to rush towards the multiple American squadrons that were circling the high ground in front of them.

"You——" Xu Qing was stunned.

However, the squad leader had already disappeared over the mountain. He swallowed what he wanted to say and saluted from a distance:

"...Thank you."

Xu Qing stood up and called everyone to start: "Let's go."

As soon as they left, gunshots rang out from the mountain behind them, followed by a rush, shouts and explosions... and finally it became silent - for more than ten seconds, and then the tanks continued humming.

Open up.

Xu Qing looked back from afar, his face as dark as water. Lei Gong opened his mouth and said nothing, and Yu Congrong also fell silent. The Seventh Company marched in silence.

We didn't encounter large groups of enemies again. The teams running up the road all received similar orders, and they all tried their best to help the Seventh Company to prevent them from being exposed.

But in fact, there had already been waves of fighting on the mountain. The volunteers were advancing, and the Americans were also making the last crazy counterattack after retreating. In less than ten minutes, the sound of gunfire and the roar of American artillery in the middle of the night were suddenly heard.

The sky dimly covered the daylight, creating a day-like effect, red and transparent.

After stopping and walking, most of the mountain road has passed, and it is already south of the 1071 Highland, but it has not yet left the Dongshan range, and it still belongs to the category of conjoined mountains. The terrain here is quite complicated, with large and small highlands and hills everywhere, one after another.

The mountain roads are very winding and difficult to walk on, and many places require you to crawl on both hands and feet.

When we reached a section of the mountain road, the roadbed here was actually blown up. The huge gap was along the snow sea cliff below. There were several huge warheads stuck on half of the cliff. Every time the artillery fire from the sky hit, the trees in the forest next to it were damaged.

The snow fell lightly.

But there is no way to go down.

Everyone was stunned.

Yu Congrong turned around: "What should we do?"

Lei Gong: "Cold salad."

Xu Qing: “Have you ever had a snowball fight?”

Qianli: "Slide down?"

Yu Congrong: “This is too high——”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Qing had already waved, and he led the soldiers to run straight to the south slope of Dongshan Mountain and set off to slide down.

"——Okay." Yu Congrong smacked his mouth, "Okay."

"You can do it. Jing Huo Huo, I'm from Sichuan. I've never seen snow, so I'm not afraid..." He twirled an arm, bit the bandage in his mouth, bared his teeth and tried to balance his body, mumbling.

Just as he was about to slide down, Lei Gong grabbed the back of his neck and said, "Why are you trying to be so strong? Come with me!"

Brush brush brush.

About seventy figures wearing cloaks rolled down the road in an orderly manner like snowballs, rolling for a while and stopping for a while, faintly mixed with Yu Congrong's soft shout of "slow down, slow down".

In this way, a pile of baggage was pressed under my buttocks, acting as a skateboard, and slid all the way to the foot of the mountain.

Snapped!

The combined weight of Yu Congrong and Lei Gong was a bit heavy. Without catching one of them, they rushed directly into the snow bushes, stirring up snowflakes and flakes.

"Hey, did you hit the ground on your face?"

"Hey - is there someone here?"

Everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain, and just as they were packing their equipment, Yu Congrong Fengfenghuohuo climbed up from his snow nest, holding an arm in his hand. Everyone looked over quickly.

"Dead man, put it down quickly."

Xu Qing squatted and checked, then stood up.

Yu Congrong hurriedly pushed away the snow, only to find that there was blood on the ground, and the body was mixed with frozen solid objects. It was buried under the heavy snow and no one knew about it.

This should be a pile of heroes. They bumped into them and buried them in the snow. All of them were still lifelike. I don’t know that the soldiers who died here a few days ago died cleanly, their blood was frozen, and they still looked like they were when they were sacrificed.
