Chapter 178: Walking alone on the Gema Plateau in the snowy night
Yu Congrong ran away happily, while Xu Qing had a straight face, but actually looked like he had a headache.
Back in the cave, half of the 7th Company and half of the wounded were lying in the small camp of the field hospital. When everyone saw Xu Qing coming back, they all asked a few questions casually. Xu Qing nodded and sat down and squinted his eyes to rest.
What he just said was simple, but in fact, his heart was still heavy, and he was constantly thinking, he couldn't just launch an armed resistance regardless of everything, right? The army's military orders were like mountains, and how many strong men were not afraid of hard knives, but afraid of this soft knife...
Time passed quickly, and the celestial phenomena in North Korea did not change according to people's thoughts. The snow in Urala was floating all over the mountains and plains. On December 8th, it was one step closer to Christmas for Americans, but the weather turned again.
A more chilled state.
………
Yu Congrong waited hard for two days and began to be happy. During the day, he sat at the entrance of the cave with a handful of broken Sanba that he had not turned in, facing the extremely cold wind and snow and polishing it to a bright shine. When others asked him what he was doing, he said
Holding the bayonet, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Waiting to show the sword!"
However, the facts did not develop as he imagined. As he watched, Wanli set out every day from the very early morning when the stars and moon were sparse, and returned to the cave very late at night. He left in a hurry and returned heavy. He expected
The Seventh Company was preparing for battle, but nothing happened.
He asked several more times, but still got no results, so the frustration in his heart slowly started to rise again!
Especially on the 8th, in the afternoon of this day, a military cadre suddenly came to the hospital to pick up the lightly wounded, and Li Changgui's name suddenly appeared on the list...
"Class 3 of the Sixth Battalion, Li Changgui."
"Is he here? Li Chang..."
"arrive!"
Li Changgui got up from the ground with a brisk pace. Although one leg was still tightly bandaged, he made a support with branches and wooden boards, so it was no big deal to move around. He stood up expressionlessly and saluted: "Deputy of the third squad of the Sixth Battalion,
Reported by Li Changgui."
No one has any photos these days. They just use a pencil to write "Li Changgui" in traditional Chinese on a small notebook. There is no military rank or specific title. They just mark it with an asterisk. Everything related to the People's Liberation Army
Eliminated.
"Okay, you all, come with me." The military cadre briefly checked the place of birth information, and then led them out.
Snapped!
Yu Congrong was sitting at the entrance of the cave, polishing a yellow metal bullet shell with a stone. He couldn't help but crush the limestone in his hand and dropped it to the ground.
"Wait a minute!" He stood up with a livid face and chased after him in a few steps. The military cadre was startled. Seeing how aggressive he was, he quickly stopped him with a gun and shouted: "Comrade, what are you doing?"
Yu Congrong said stiffly: "It's none of your business. Get out of the way. I have something to tell him."
Just as the military cadre was about to continue speaking, Li Changgui spoke up: "Comrade, let me say a few words to him. I won't waste your time. I don't know if I can come back from this battle."
"Okay, two minutes." The military cadre hesitated for a moment, put down his gun, but didn't go far, and stood aside to watch.
Li Changgui said: "Yu Zuizi, it's nice to meet you. If possible, let's see you again when we return to China. Please don't send me away."
"Look... don't believe it. Don't think that your Seventh Company is the only one who is powerful. None of us in our engineering battalion is a coward." Seeing that Yu Congrong's face was still straight, he smiled and gestured to his injured leg and said, "I'm like this
Even though the legs and feet are lame now, I rely on my hands and guns to defeat the enemy. When I turn around, I will definitely stand in front of you with all my strength."
"Okay, Lao Li, remember what you said, you have to live well and come back alive." Yu Congrong nodded, then turned around and asked: "Comrade, can you tell me where they were assigned and which hill they attacked?
No?"
"This is a secret, I don't know either," the military cadre said tight-lipped.
"I know even if you don't tell me. Isn't it Huangcaoling? I'll fight you when I turn around!" Yu Congrong was not angry, he clenched his fist and vowed.
He went up and held Li Changgui's hand tightly, gave him a bullet whistle that he had polished in the past few days, then gave him a hug and whispered in his ear: "Remember to blow this whistle. Don't worry, I will catch up soon."
You, our Seventh Company will never abandon you."
"You..." Li Changgui's eyes widened, he was startled, and he was about to speak, but Yu Congrong quickly let go of him and moved away.
"Comrade, they are all wounded. They have a narrow escape from death on the battlefield. We have no shame to say anything else, so please give them more bullets!" After Yu Congrong finished speaking, he took a few steps back and saluted straightly.
.
The military cadre didn't say anything and saluted him back. Li Changgui sighed and saluted:
"Take care of yourself!"
Li Changgui, who had been chatting with Yu Conrong for several days in the field hospital, left just like that. Yu Conrong stood upright in the wind and snow, saluted with attention, and did not move for a long time.
This usually careless man felt extremely helpless and angry for the first time, and this anger had nowhere to vent.
Situations like this of wounded soldiers returning to the battlefield happen every day.
Looking at the lively people who were making jokes and talking together not long ago, they all have gauze on their heads, bandages on their hands and feet, and are covered with gunshot wounds and frostbite. Many of them are missing arms and legs, and they only carry a long gun.
Just sending a few clay grenades to the battlefield, how much fighting power do these people have left?
If I go away... I'm afraid I will never come back, or even never come back again, and there will never be a day when I see you again.
But none of them turned back or complained.
Yu Congrong didn't understand any culture, and he didn't understand what it meant to say goodbye, or what it meant to be blown by the wind and the water was cold, but he couldn't help but feel all kinds of feelings welling up in his heart...
"What, are you crying?" Behind him, Lei Gong came over, and he could see that his mood was unstable.
"Fuck you!" Yu Congrong put his cotton hat straight, turned around and left. He said loudly: "Dad Lei, it's not that I don't respect you. I, Yu Congrong, am steel, iron, and thirty-eight firepower
The platoon leader and the iron-clad soldier of the 7th Interleaved Company! I was born unable to cry. If you say this about me, you are looking down on me!"
But before he took a few steps back, he suddenly stepped into a snow nest, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
Lei Gong hurriedly went up to support him, looked up in shock, and found that Yu Congrong's body was trembling slightly, and his rough face was already full of tears, and hot tears were falling down: "But you said...
…Tell me, what’s going on?”
Lei Gong paused on his hands and became slightly silent.
"Those without legs...those without arms, they all went to the battlefield. You tell me...why are we still here..." Yu Congrong said intermittently. The man shed tears and cried so hard that he couldn't say anything.
In one sentence.
He opened his mouth and wanted to howl, but his voice was hoarse, and big teardrops spilled down, turning into ice particles when they fell on the snow.
"Alas..." Lei Gong sighed and said softly, "Don't think so much, my child, come back with me."
He put a coat on Yu Congrong, whispered a few words of persuasion, and after his mood stabilized, he slowly led him into the cave.
From this moment on, Yu Congrong rarely became the most silent person in the Seventh Company. The smile on his face, which was usually lively and playful and never grew up, seemed to disappear.
Yu Congrong sat in his corner, silently watching the snow falling outside. The endless white color confused his eyes, which caused him to suffer from snow blindness, so he had to cover his eyes with a shallow layer of linen.
He didn't come back to his senses until Wu Qianli came back, and then quietly went over to ask about the situation outside and the command's reply.
Qianli Zheng was frustrated with Mei Sheng and became irritated, so he simply criticized him and told him to leave things alone. However, what was unexpected was that Yu Congrong did not have any refutation this time.
I listened quietly to the whole process, and then returned to my corner.
Everyone was shocked. No one had ever seen such a stable Yu Congrong. What happened?
So everyone came over one after another to persuade, inquire, and even offered him cigarettes and cigars. These were everyone's stocks and they were usually treasured and hidden. Yu Congrong stretched out his hand to take it.
"Go, go, I'll be ready tomorrow. Why are you just eating carrots and worrying so much!" He said with a smile.
"cut!"
Seeing him like this, everyone rolled their eyes, and the crowd of spectators dispersed immediately.
Darkness fell, and at night, everyone treated a group of wounded people who had retreated from the mountain. Under the moonlight and the dim cave fire, they went on duty one after another, and then fell asleep.
There were deep holes dug in the ground, and the soldiers huddled together among the quilts, huddled together to keep warm and sleep. Tremendous snores were heard one after another. It had been more than a month since everyone had taken a shower, and the smell of rancid sweat was everywhere.
, the smell of socks and feet is mixed with the pine scent and the smell of potion and alcohol that come from the cave.
But no one expected that in the dark cave, a figure would quietly get up after everyone fell asleep. The person on duty at the entrance of the cave was a young soldier. He was subconsciously surprised: "Who?"
"I, Yu Congrong." The black shadow replied, and then emerged from the shadow, revealing a familiar face.
The soldier relaxed and exhaled, but soon he wondered: "Platoon leader, where are you going?"
"I went out to hang out, and I felt so bored."
"Platoon leader, don't go too far. It's freezing cold outside. It can freeze someone to death."
"I know, brat, why don't you tell me? Guard your post!"
Yu Congrong had a serious face, and the little soldier laughed and didn't take it seriously. He took a Camel brand American cigarette that Yu Congrong threw over and watched him leave.
But after Yu Congrong came out of the cave, he secretly went to the place where he had talked with Lei Gong two days ago. He looked around and took out a gun, a stack of packages, and two scattered boxes under the stone.
bullet.
He pulled up the barrel of the gun and checked it up and down. He found that the gun was sealed in a greased paper bag and was not frozen. He felt slightly relieved.

At this time in the middle of the night, the valley here was full of guardsmen on duty. Yu Congrong put a gun on his waist, put on a white cloak, and then used his hands and feet to sneak up on the rocks, quietly bypassing one after another that had been explored clearly.
sentry.
After turning the corner, he ducked down and left the forest path in the rugged area. Down the slope was the entrance of the valley where he was stationed. The wind and snow was howling now, and it was buried between his calves step by step.
He looked around and saw no one, so he ran down the slope in the dark night. He was panting, his heart was hot, he carried a long gun on his back, and strode forward in the deserted snowy night.
