Chapter 571 It turns out that everyone is still acquaintances! ! !
Looking at the scene in front of you, Liu Xiaotao was thinking that if there was no war, what a pastoral scenery would be here.
Raise fish in the pond, plant melons and bamboos in front of the house, grow vegetables by the pond, and raise chickens.
Every day, watching the sunrise and sunset, the smoke rises in the cooking stove... It's very pleasant to think about it.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, two enemy troops walked east with guns, one in front and one behind, keeping their vigilance.
After asking for instructions, the company commander decided to arrest the enemy when they return and then destroy the garrison site.
At nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, two more enemy troops appeared outside the attic, and two peasant-like people walked towards the pond, and the two enemy troops who walked out in the afternoon still did not come back.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked towards Liu Xiaotao and the others' lurking place with her child on her back, and the company commander asked Xiao Li to lead her away.
But it was too late, she had already walked to the edge of the ravine. Xiao Li gestured to her, meaning to let her lie down.
The woman might have been stunned by the scene in front of her, she covered her mouth and shook her head while retreating, and shouted "Wow, wow, wow".
At this time, Lao Sang Gang, deputy squad leader of Class 6, jumped up, grabbed the retreating woman decisively, and then rolled into the ditch.
Liu Xiaotao and the others wiped the cold sweat from their heads, thinking that they were almost exposed.
However, the noise here still aroused the enemy's alertness.
The enemy outside the attic discovered the abnormality here and ran quickly into the house. The two farmers who walked over stood there for a moment, turned around and ran south.
The third platoon commander Jia Minghui hurriedly asked the company commander: "What should I do? Are I still arresting prisoners?"
The company commander looked at the sky and considered that the enemy situation had changed, he said, "If you fight late, you may not be able to retreat!" So he ordered decisively: "Fight!"
At this time, a rapid gunfire sounded, and the enemy attacked Liu Xiaotao and the others from the attic.
Xiao Luan asked the company commander for instructions: "Let me come first?"
Before the company commander made a statement, he suddenly stood up, braved the enemy's bullets, and fired a rocket into the attic with the "40 Fire".
The attic in the middle instantly soared into the air like a fireball.
Deputy shooter Dong Lei also quickly stood up and fired rockets at the other two targets.
The launch of the "Four-0 Fire" has strict regulations. Because there is a tail flame and because the surrounding environment is full of shrubs and weeds, it is a last resort to launch.
At the same time, Firepower Group 1 and Firepower Group 2 launched an attack on the target.
As the attic exploded, the enemy's firepower was significantly weakened, but the battle was not over.
Company Commander Qiao quickly issued an order: "Firepower Group, continue to suppress! Cover them!"
Dong Lei and his comrades scattered tacitly, looking for new cover.
Dong Lei took a deep breath and aimed at the enemy's machine gun position again.
He knew that every rocket was crucial and must be hit accurately.
In the bushes, the enemy snipers began to fight back, and bullets whizzed past, splashing sparks on the surrounding stones.
Dong Lei's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he did not retreat. He adjusted his posture, his fingers firmly on the trigger, waiting for the best time. Just
At this moment, he heard the low and firm voice of Company Commander Qiao: "Stay calm, don't panic, aim and then hit!"
Dong Lei held his breath and pulled the trigger. The rocket drew a dazzling arc and headed straight for the enemy's machine gun position.
With a loud bang, the machine gun position was completely destroyed, and the enemy's firepower was weakened again.
The soldiers of the first and second groups of firepower took the opportunity to advance and quickly occupied a favorable position.
The battle has entered a white-hot stage, and the enemy reinforcements have also begun to surround the flanks.
About five minutes later, the enemy's shells also came. Company Commander Qiao used radio to ask Deputy Captain Liu, the commander-in-chief of the brigade in front, to allow the evacuation?
Deputy Captain Liu ordered: "Escape immediately", and at the same time instructed the artillery scouts around him to report the coordinates of the enemy's garrison to the artillery troops and conduct artillery interception on the enemy.
Company Commander Qiao realized the urgency of the situation and immediately ordered: "Be careful, prepare to retreat! Cover them and evacuate alternately!"
Liu Xiaotao and his comrades quickly executed the order, evacuating in an orderly manner while covering them.
During the retreat, Liu Xiaotao looked back at the burning battlefield, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Last time after the emergency retreat of the platoon team, the prisoner arrest team and the firepower team retreated, dense gunshots sounded behind him, as if enemy reinforcements were pursuing Liu Xiaotao and the others.
Fortunately, our army's artillery fire was intercepted in a timely manner, ensuring the safe evacuation of several groups. However, the enemy's shells kept exploding behind Liu Xiaotao and the others.
Liu Xiaotao gritted his teeth and held the rifle in his hand tightly, with the roar of shell explosion echoing in his ears.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down and continued running forward.
The comrades around him were also moving forward at full speed, and everyone's face was full of tension and perseverance.
"Be careful! Don't step on the crater!" Company Commander Qiao's voice was still clear in the chaos.
Liu Xiaotao glanced down and saw that the ground was covered with craters of all sizes, and some were still emitting black smoke.
He quickly adjusted his pace to avoid dangerous areas, while not forgetting to look back and observe the enemy's movements.
Suddenly, a shell exploded not far away, and the strong shock wave made Liu Xiaotao stagger and almost fell down.
He stabilized his body, felt his ears buzzing, and his vision was blurred.
But he knew that he could never stop at this moment, otherwise he would be swallowed up by the enemy's firepower. "Xiaotao, keep up!" Qiao Lian grabbed Liu Xiaotao's arm and pulled him to continue rushing forward.
Liu Xiaotao nodded and tried to keep up with the team.
His breathing became more and more rapid, and his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but the belief in his heart supported him to continue moving forward.
"There is a cover point ahead, hurry!" Company Commander Qiao pointed to a forest not far away and shouted loudly.
Liu Xiaotao and his comrades rushed into the woods and hid in the dense bushes.
As soon as I entered the woods, the sound of artillery fire behind me seemed to weaken a little, but Liu Xiaotao knew that this did not mean safety.
"Check the equipment and prepare for the next stage of retreat!" Company Commander Qiao whispered.
Liu Xiaotao quickly checked his ammunition and equipment to confirm that everything was normal.
He looked up at his comrades. Everyone had fatigue on their faces, but there was an unyielding light in his eyes.
In order to prevent the enemy from pursuing, the engineers took the risk and buried mines along the retreating road under the cover of the Second Fire Group.
In the middle of the night, Liu Xiaotao and the others finally evacuated the primeval forest and came to the river.
At this time, everyone was extremely tired, and someone was lying down by the wet river, panting heavily.
The company commander asked Deputy Captain Liu to ask if he could rest for an hour on the spot? Deputy Captain Liu ordered: "Don't stay, continue to retreat!"
At dawn, everyone finally retreated to about one kilometer away from the station. It started to rain lightly in the sky. Many people lay down and didn't want to get up. They let the raindrops hit their faces. They no longer reacted to the cold and hunger. They just wanted to have a good sleep...
Commander Qiao looked at his exhausted comrades and felt a sense of sorrow in his heart.
He knew how extravagant the rest was for them at this moment, but the enemy was chasing him behind his butt and they had to keep moving forward.
He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Brothers, hold on for a while! The station is right in front of us, we can't fall here!"
Hearing Qiao Lian's shout, the soldiers lying on the ground struggled to hold up and stood up with each other.
The raindrops hit their faces, mixed with sweat and dirt, blurring their vision, but they still gritted their teeth and moved forward step by step.
Liu Xiaotao's investigation team was at the forefront of the team, with a firm look.
He looked back at the soldiers behind him and prayed secretly in his heart: "I hope we can arrive at the base safely before the enemy chased him."
Suddenly, there were bursts of gunfire from afar, and Liu Xiaotao's heart tightened and quickly ordered: "Everyone is hiding! Maybe the enemy is catching up!"
The soldiers quickly dispersed and hid in the bushes on the side of the road.
Liu Xiaotao held his breath, held the rifle in his hand tightly, staring at the direction where the gunshots came.
Liu Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and whispered, "Continue to move forward, don't make any sound."
The team moved silently again, the rain gradually increased, and the rain washed away their fatigue and tension.
Suddenly, a low and rapid command came from the front: "Mountains and Rivers!"
Liu Xiaotao, who was carefully searching and moving forward, was instantly alert, and his body instinctively crouched down and responded quickly: "Not bad!" As soon as he finished speaking, a figure slowly stood up from the bushes opposite.
It's your own person! The tense strings in Liu Xiaotao's heart finally relaxed a little.
He Qiu was wearing a camouflage uniform unique to our scouts, and his face was painted with carefully designed disguise, which seemed particularly secret.
He whispered, "Don't be nervous, we are our own people. Team Liu specially sent us to pick you up."
Hearing these words, Liu Xiaotao was completely relieved.
When you are in the enemy's territory, you need to be extra careful when you take every step. After all, the enemy often disguises itself as our army for sabotage activities, and if you are not careful, you may fall into danger.
At this moment, Company Commander Qiao hurried over, frowned slightly, and a hint of nervousness in his tone: "What's the matter?"
Liu Xiaotao immediately straightened his body and replied firmly: "Company Commander, it's our own people! Team Liu specially sent them to pick us up."
Captain Qiao suddenly showed a happy smile on his face when he heard this, and quickly stepped forward to shake hands with He Qiu tightly. The gratitude was beyond words: "Thank you so much, comrades! You are really the time to come!"
However, when he looked at He Qiu carefully, he found that the other party was a little disgusted, and the doubts in his heart quietly arose. He asked cautiously: "Which unit do you belong to?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
He Qiu smiled slightly and explained calmly: "We are from the X Army Reconnaissance Brigade and are carrying out the mission. Suddenly, he received an emergency order from the command center, asking us to respond to you immediately..."
He heard this, Company Commander Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, with an apology in his tone: "So that's it! I'm so sorry, Captain He, I am just too careful. After all, the mission is special, so I have to be more cautious."
He Qiu, as the commander, understood him very much, "Understand, understand, everyone is comrades..."
Company Commander Qiao nodded, and the last trace of doubt in his heart completely dissipated.
He looked around and said in a low voice, "Captain He, since you are here to support us, let's hurry up and act.
The enemy may catch up at any time, and we have to evacuate this area as soon as possible."
He Qiu's expression froze and nodded quickly: "Okay, we already have a retreat route and backup plan, just follow us."
After saying that, he turned around and gestured to the team members behind him, indicating that they were vigilant and ready to act at any time.
The team quickly assembled, and He Qiu and Company Commander Qiao walked side by side at the front, whispering information while walking.
He Qiu asked, "Company Commander Qiao, what is the specific situation of your mission? What are the enemy's movements?"
Company Commander Qiao frowned and said in a heavy tone: "We were originally carrying out the mission of reconnaissance and captive capture, but we were discovered by the enemy.
We had to retreat. The situation is urgent now, and a large number of enemy troops are chasing behind our butts...."
He Qiu nodded, and a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, we will do our best to assist you.
We have arranged a contact point on the retreat route. As long as we get there smoothly, we can be temporarily safe."
At this moment, a faint shouting came from afar, and everyone's nerves tense instantly.
He Qiu immediately raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and whispered: "Everyone is hidden, observe the situation!"
The team members quickly dispersed, each found the cover, and stared at the direction where the sound came with breath.
Company Commander Qiao: "Captain He, the enemy's pursuer is catching up."
He Qiu observed calmly for a while, then said: "It's not like the enemy's main force, but more like the vanguard.
Let’s stop delaying, withdraw quickly! "
He quickly formulated a new route, led the team around possible dangerous areas and quickly moved towards the contact point.
Along the way, He Qiu and Company Commander Qiao cooperated tacitly and directed the team to avoid the enemy's pursuit.
Finally, under the cover of night, the team successfully arrived at a safe contact point.
He Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Company Commander Qiao, "Company Commander Qiao, you have a rest first. We have contacted the command center and will have further instructions soon. ”
Company Commander Qiao nodded gratefully: "Captain He, it's really thanks to you this time, otherwise we really don't know if we can get out smoothly."
He Qiu smiled slightly and patted his shoulder: "Everyone is comrade, it's time to help each other. Next, we have to face more challenges together."
I finally arrived here, not far from our large army, and everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little.
Liu Xiaotao was chatting with his comrades in the platoon when he suddenly felt someone gently patting his shoulder.
He looked back and found it was Captain He. Captain He asked with a smile, "Brother, I heard from your accent, are you from Yanjing?"
Liu Xiaotao nodded and smiled, "Yes, I am from Liujiazhuang, Yanjing. Are you too?"
He Qiu heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes and said excitedly, "Oh, Liujiazhuang! He, your surname is Liu, do you know Liu Wu?"
Liu Xiaotao's eyes lit up: "Liu Wu? That's my cousin! Captain He, do you know him?"
He Qiu nodded with a smile, "That's not right, Liu Wu is my childhood friend. We used to be naughty and used to play slingshots under the old locust tree! I didn't expect to meet his cousin here. It's really a fate!"
The two of them became more and more prone, from the Siheyuan in Nanluoguxiang to the past of Liujiazhuang to the current war, like old friends for many years.
The brothers around were also attracted by their conversation and surrounded them, listening with relish.
He Qiu patted Liu Xiaotao on the shoulder and sighed, "We are all our brothers, so we will have more interactions in the future."
"I tell you, don't be cowardly on the battlefield, our Yanjing men can't afford to lose this person!"
Liu Xiaotao nodded, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Yes, we Yanjing people cannot be cowardly, we must let the enemy know how powerful we are!" He Qiu laughed: "Well! After this battle, we will go back to Liujiazhuang together and have a good drink for Liu Wu!"
As he was talking, a burst of rapid footsteps came from afar, and a scout rushed over and reported breathlessly: "Captain He, the enemy's traces were found behind him, and they seemed to be coming towards us!"
"Damn, how dare you chase me here!" He Qiu immediately put away his smile and looked serious: "Brothers, prepare for the battle! Let these little maids raise something powerful!"
If you want to say, it is really fate that He Qiu can meet Liu Xiaotao here.
I remember back then, He Qiu was an absolute playboy, idle and squandering all day long.
However, the gears of fate quietly turned, pushing him to a completely different trajectory of life.
Under the tempering of the military camp, he faded away his former glitz and frivolity, and replaced it with perseverance and responsibility.
Today, He Qiu has long been a highly praised outstanding soldier after experiencing war, and his every move exudes calmness and strength.
This journey of transformation not only reshapes his character, but also allows him to find his true self-worth.
For example, if he was able to become the squadron leader of the Military Reconnaissance Brigade in just seven years, he knew how much sweat and hard work He Qiu had put in.
The scouts on the front line are not something that ordinary people can be. The training intensity and difficulty they face are far beyond the scope of ordinary people's imagination.
In just a few months, they need to receive all-round high-intensity training and do their best to master various reconnaissance skills.
All the investigation brigades on the front line were selected from veterans of each army and then concentrated on training.
The scouts' physical training is the foundation of everything. Every morning, when the camp has not been illuminated by the first ray of sunlight, they have already embarked on a 5-kilometer armed off-road journey.
The heavy equipment was carried on her back, and the sweat soaked her clothes, but no one fell behind on the way.
In the 400-meter obstacle training ground, they were as agile and rapid as cheetahs, crossing obstacles one after another. Even if they fell, they stood up without hesitation to continue moving forward. The pain left on their bodies became a distinct symbol of their continuous growth.
Fighting training is also the key among the keys. Scouts can only gain an advantage when encountering enemies with super close combat capabilities.
They constantly practice various fighting skills such as prisoner-catching fist, prisoner-catching knives, military fist, Sanda, and grapple, and other fighting skills, and pursue precision and strength in every move.
He Qiu has a relatively advantage in this regard. He has practiced family martial arts since he was a child.
Even so, He Qiu and his comrades-in-arms practiced each other and was often bruised all over his body, but he never cried out in pain, just to be able to subdue the enemy with one move in actual combat.
Of course, the use of firearms as a scout should not be underestimated.
From the Type 64 submachine gun to the Type 85 submachine gun, they must be familiar with the performance and characteristics of each gun to ensure accurate shooting in all kinds of complex environments.
At that time, He Qiu was nervous and did not hit the target for the first few bullets, but he was not discouraged.
However, under the guidance of the squad leader, He Qiu adjusted his mindset, aimed again, and finally successfully hit the target.
At that moment, a confident smile appeared on He Qiu's face, which made him realize that only by continuing to practice can he show his best condition on the battlefield.
