Fengcheng old events

Chapter 71 There is one here, hanging on the stone wall (to commemorate those unsung heroes)

The thick smoke dissipated slowly, and the cave returned to silence.

The fighters who exited from the cave gathered on the bridge of more than 30 meters at an altitude of nearly [-] meters.

The company commander lay powerlessly on the ground looking at the sky, his eyes were empty, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

The battalion commander half-kneeled beside the company commander, his eyes were red, one hand was pressing on the company commander, and the other was holding a pistol.

A 1.8-meter man was crying and tearing up.

"Ah~~ I don't accept it." The battalion commander shouted up to the sky, emptied the magazine in one breath and continued to pull the trigger.He wants to kill this thief God.

There were cries from among the soldiers.A group of iron-clad men who disregarded safety and death in order to fulfill the orders of the motherland, and a group of soldiers carrying steel guns to build railways, cried like children at this moment.

The mountain wind blows, the mountains and forests are quiet, and the stream flows from the bottom of the stream.The cries of a large group of men drifted into the distance with the wind and water.

The battalion commander had already sat on the ground, covering his face with one hand on his knee.

The Second Company Commander came out from the opposite tunnel: "What's wrong? What happened?"

The tunnel was filled with the chug of wind guns, and no sound from outside could be heard at all.The second company commander saw that the people on this bridge felt something was wrong, so he came out to ask.

"Collapsed." A little soldier whimpered with his eyes swollen from crying.

"Why are you crying when it collapses? Why are you all crying?" The Second Company Commander looked at the soldiers and walked towards them.

"Battalion commander? First company commander?" The second company commander saw the battalion commander and the first company commander who were lying and sitting at the entrance of the cave.

Hearing the second company commander's cry, the battalion commander let go of his hand covering his face, glanced at the second company commander, nodded, put the pistol in the holster, rubbed his face, and said, "Take the gun over here." Everyone retreats to the camp. You arrange for people to come over, go in and have a look, be careful. See if you can find any survivors."

His voice was completely hoarse, and he couldn't help crying again at the end.

The second company commander squatted down and helped the first company commander up: "What's wrong with you?"

The first company commander nodded and wiped his face: "It's okay. I lost my temper. You, follow the battalion commander's order. It's up to you." Tears flowed out again.

The second company commander stood up and jumped: "What the hell is going on? Who can explain?"

The commander of the first company sniffed, pulled the clothes of the commander of the second company and stood up, saying: "It collapsed, I didn't expect it at all, there was a sudden bang, it was a big hole, there was no process at all, the soldiers just fell in, dragged and dragged." I can’t come up. The instructor is gone. My engineering squad is gone.”

The company commander turned his head and looked at the bridge: "When our company is disabled, these are the only people left. We can't beat God."

The second company commander patted the first company commander on the shoulder: "Take the soldiers back, leave this to me. Get the battalion commander back."

The battalion commander also wiped his face and stood up, sniffing: "Well, the first company obeyed the order and went down to repair. The second company commander, I will go in with you."

The second company commander said: "Battlefield commander, you should go back too. Go back and wash slowly. I'll just stay here at this end."

The battalion commander waved his hands and turned to look into the cave: "Execute the order."

The first company commander walked to his own soldiers on the bridge, stood there and looked at everyone, his eyes turned red, and he sniffed: "Come back, let's go back to the camp today to repair, if we have something to do, we will talk about it tomorrow. Let's go."

Some soldiers shouted: "Company commander, what should we do there?"

The first company commander said: "Leave it to the second company, obey the order, and withdraw."

Zhang Qingzhi and Xiaozhuang came out of the tunnel: "What's the matter? What are you crying for?"

Xiaozhuang tugged at Zhang Qing's skirt: "Something happened, and the company commander is crying too. Look over there, the battalion commander's eyes are red."

The two looked at each other, and Xiao Zhuang shook his head slightly into the tunnel, signaling to slip away quickly.

Zhang Qingzhi licked his lips, shook his head and said, "Go and see."

The two walked through the soldiers and walked to the bridge. The first company commander looked at the two and said, "It's just right, the second company is going in to check, and you two can help to turn off the lights."

Zhang Qingzhi stood at attention and asked in a low voice, "Company commander, what's the matter?"

The company commander rubbed his eyes, and said: "The engineering squad is gone, the entire squad. Instructors, and the trash squad, we'll get rid of your squad, and these are the only people left." He gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Go Get to work."

Taking a breath, holding back tears, he ordered loudly: "Password. Stand at attention, rest. All, turn back. Return to camp."

The people from the first company went down wiping their tears and snot. The commander of the second company arranged for the engineering squad to come over. The battalion commander waved: "The third squad leader, get a longer line and hang a light bulb on the head. I will use it later. I am afraid that the headlight will go down." It doesn't work."

Zhang Qingzhi nodded, and strode across the bridge to find something.

When he found all the things and came over, the engineering squad of the second company had arrived and was picking up the rope.Several brown ropes were joined together, and one end was tied to the battalion commander.

Zhang Qingzhi ran over and asked, "Battle Commander, what are you doing here?"

The battalion commander said: "The light can't shine down, there is a bend below, I'll go down and have a look."

Zhang Qingzhi ran inside, walked carefully to the edge of the collapsed hole and looked in. It was dark in midwinter, and a gust of wind blew up from the inside. When the light went down for about ten meters, you couldn’t see anything. It was blurry. Listen carefully. Listen, there is nothing but the wind.

Looking left and right, Zhang Qingzhi wanted to throw a stone down, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare, suddenly his eyes lit up, he turned and ran out: "Battle Commander, wait a minute, I'll get a phone, you hold the phone down, anytime If we can talk about the situation, we can rest assured from above.”

The battalion commander here is the biggest, he said he wants to go down by himself, no one can dissuade him.

The battalion commander thought for a while and nodded: "That's a good idea. All right. Just make the rope longer, and you don't know how deep it is. I'll take a spare one with me, just in case someone uses it."

All the preparations are ready, the battalion is carrying a gun on its back, holding a phone that has been turned on, and is slowly put into the cave by several soldiers.

"Keep going at this pace and steady. Everything is fine now. Carry on."

"Slow down, it really is a bend, it doesn't seem to have collapsed. Continue to let it go. I found the warrior."

"Sacrificed."

"Another one." "Here, too." "Another one, hanging on the stone wall. The blood has dried up."

……

The second company commander above held the phone and listened anxiously to the battalion commander talking about the situation below, repeating the corpses of soldiers that had been discovered one after another.None are still alive.He gradually became numb.

"Stop it, don't let it go." The battalion commander's urgent voice sounded.

"Stop, hold on." The commander of the second company shouted at the soldiers who were pulling the rope: "Commander, what do you see?"

"In the end, it's a big river, and the water is black. The lights are too dim here, so I can't see clearly. I can't see clearly at either end, and there is no sound of water."

"The river is very fast, and I can't tell the direction."

"There seems to be a hole ahead, an underground hole, and the water has gone down. Pull me up, slow down."

A few soldiers pulled the battalion commander up little by little.

"It's very cold down there. The water is black. I don't know where it's going. The current is very strong and urgent. The soldiers who haven't seen it should have fallen into the water. There is no hope. Be careful, go down and take what you can find Bring it up. Slow down." The battalion commander untied the rope on his body and gave an order.

The commander of the second company asked a soldier: "How deep is it placed?"

The soldier scratched his head: "It doesn't count. It's quite long anyway."

"Be careful when you go down. Tie the rope tightly. If you fall, you will lose your chance. You won't be able to swim." The battalion commander lifted up his foot, which was missing a shoe: "The flow of water is too fast. It feels a lot of pulling force, and it is estimated that half of the body will not be able to get up."
