On the battlefield not far away, the sound of gunfire and the explosion of artillery shells... came one after another.
Silver-white airplanes also continued to visit the battlefield, dropping bombs one after another.
The black smoke pillars rising into the sky told everyone that a very fierce battle was going on there.
On the road, soldiers in ragged clothes but well-armed panted and hurried forward. Although they were very tired, no one gave up.
In the middle of the neat team, there was a thin young man who was obviously more than half a head shorter than the others. He was a child to be precise. He was very eye-catching.
Not to mention his small stature, others carry rifles on their backs and bullet belts on their shoulders. At the very least, they carry a broadsword or a spear.
And except for a basket wrapped tightly with raincloth, he didn't even have a decent weapon!
No, there is a weapon that can kill people, a kitchen knife wrapped tightly in cotton cloth!
There is no doubt that this is a cooking soldier, and a baby cooking soldier at that.
The long march with heavy loads had left him panting, his face flushed red from exhaustion, and large beads of sweat kept pouring out of his forehead.
The basket weighing more than 20 kilograms was in sharp contrast with his thin body. No one could figure out what kind of perseverance supported him to carry the basket on his back, gritted his teeth and continued on his way.
Company Commander Zhang, who was passing by, was heartbroken and couldn't help but ask.
"Haozi, can you still carry it? There are still dozens of miles to go, and if you really can't carry it, give me the basket!"
"Don't worry, company commander, you can still carry it!" the cook named Haozi replied firmly.
Captain Zhang was stunned by the determination on Haozi's face, and couldn't help but think of Haozi's life experience.
There are seven people in the cooking class. Apart from the old squad leader, Li Hao is the one he is most familiar with and has the deepest impression of.
His parents died for the revolution and he had no other relatives, so the army became his home.
After joining the Red Army, because he was too young, only thirteen years old, he would definitely not be able to join the combat troops.
The regiment leader sent him to the Second Company's cooking class and asked the old squad leader to take care of him, and then he became a member of the Second Company's cooking class.
Don't look at others as young people, but they have read books. If you have nothing to do, go to the company headquarters to find yourself, the instructor, or the company headquarters clerical culture.
Coupled with the impact of the sacrifice of his parents, his personality is much calmer than that of his peers.
If it weren't for his thin body and his young age, he would definitely be a good candidate for military service.
"Bang bang bang~"
Three sudden gunshots brought Captain Zhang back to reality.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he exclaimed loudly: "Air raid, Bai Gouzi's plane is coming towards us, everyone should take cover quickly, get down and take cover!"
The orderly team suddenly became chaotic, and so did Li Hao, who was walking in the middle of the team.
Before departure, the old squad leader taught himself how to avoid air attacks on the battlefield more than once, but when the planes actually came over, all the memories in his head were suddenly gone.
Like other soldiers, he fell into panic, was at a loss, and was running around.
"Li Hao, what are you doing standing still? Get down quickly, Bai Gouzi's plane is coming to kill you!"
The familiar and anxious voice of the old squad leader rang in his ears in time, and the panic in his heart was suppressed at once.
Before he had time to react, the old squad leader who was chasing him had already pulled him and threw him down on the side of the road.
"Buzz buzz~boom boom boom..."
Violent explosions soon sounded in their ears. Li Hao, who was pressed tightly by the old squad leader, just saw a bloody broken arm flying towards him, and then his head was hit hard by something, and he lost his mind instantly.
perception.
Captain Zhang was knocked over by the shock wave generated by the bomb and fell to the ground in a very embarrassed state, with his whole body covered in dirt.
"Bah~" After spitting out the dirt that was poured into his mouth, he endured the pain in his body and got up.
Before he had time to check whether he was injured, the mutilated corpses surrounding the bomb crater not far away frightened him, and his face suddenly darkened.
He frowned and ordered anxiously.
"Count the casualties immediately and treat the wounded!"
The instructor rushed over within two minutes and reported: "Company commander, seven were killed and eight were injured, at least four of whom were seriously injured..."
Company Commander Zhang was very heartbroken and yelled: "You stupid white dog, what kind of battle is this? So many people were lost before the position was reached!"
At this moment, the regimental correspondent rushed over.
"Company Commander Zhang, the regiment headquarters ordered that the troops continue to set off in five minutes. No one can delay for one more minute, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
After saying that, the gasping correspondent spread his legs and rushed towards the third company behind him.
Company Commander Zhang, who originally wanted to buy a few more minutes for the wounded, looked at the back of the correspondent and could only sigh and order.
"The whole company will set off in five minutes. The fallen soldiers will be buried on the spot~"
"The injured who cannot walk are left behind and handed over to the reception team behind for unified treatment."
"The wounded who can walk will continue to move forward with the company, and they will be healed while marching. Each platoon is responsible for the wounded in its own platoon. No one must be left behind!"
"Company Commander, can I stay here for one more hour?" Suddenly, a pleading voice sounded behind Company Commander Zhang.
Captain Zhang, who didn't know he was the old squad leader, subconsciously refused.
"No! Not even half an hour! We still have tasks ahead of us. Everyone must keep up with the team and not fall behind!"
When he turned around, he realized it was Captain Zhou of the cooking class. He hesitated and added.
"Old squad leader, it's not that I don't want the soldiers to rest for a while. The task is really too tight, and the regiment leader has given orders. We still have nearly thirty miles to go, and there is no time at all, not even a minute.
What a delay!”
The old squad leader did not give up and continued: "Then half an hour, I promise not to fall behind, and I will catch up with the team before dark!"
The old squad leader is a veritable veteran of the Red Army. When he was a soldier, he was the squad leader of the cooking squad. I heard that he also served as the squad leader of the regiment commander.
Because he was too old and was injured, he stayed in the cooking class as the squad leader and stayed there for three years.
The commander of the second company has been changed by an unknown number of people, but the leader of the cooking squad has never been changed.
Therefore, even though the other party is just a cooking squad leader, his opinions and requests, including his own, are taken very seriously by the entire Second Company.
Seeing the old squad leader's insistence, he quickly asked: "Is something wrong?"
"Something happened. Haozi from the cooking class was blown up by a Baigouzi plane and was knocked unconscious. I checked and there wasn't a single wound on his body. He was probably knocked unconscious. I want to stay here and wait for him to wake up!"
Seeing the hesitation on the company commander's face, the old squad leader quickly added: "He is just a child. Both his parents died for the revolution. He is the only one left in the entire Li family."
"There is a reception team behind to take care of the wounded soldiers, but you and I both know that there are too many wounded soldiers left behind by the troops along the way, and they are simply too busy."
"The war is in chaos, and there are white dogs chasing soldiers everywhere. If you leave an unconscious child behind, he may be killed by white dogs and exchanged for the ocean before he even meets the recovery team!"
"For half an hour, I will wait here for half an hour. If Xiao Li doesn't wake up, I will hide him."
"Whether he can wake up and survive in the end depends on his own fate!"
The company commander also treated Li Hao as his nephew, and with the persistence of the old squad leader, he was moved.
"Okay, just half an hour!"
"The things you are carrying will be distributed to the company staff. In half an hour, whether Li Hao wakes up or not, you will set off to catch up with the company!"
The old squad leader breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Don't worry, company commander, I promise to execute the order and catch up with the company before dark!"
Soon, the regrouped company disappeared from the sight of the old squad leader?
