The company commander was absolutely right. Seeing the bullets and grenades, the surprise and excitement on the commander's face was even worse than what he had just seen!
I looked through a box of bullets over and over again, and praised the three people profusely before letting them go."
The troops stayed here for the next three days without moving.
Because they were only assisting in defense, the position was only feinted by Bai Gouzi's regiment, so it was very easy to defend.
The half-cooked pork and a few old hens brought back from the Zhou family compound gave Li Hao two days of leisure.
But it's not like there's nothing to do.
In addition to eating and a small amount of physical recovery training, whenever he had free time, he began to modify the old fishing nets he always carried with him.
Suddenly the old squad leader came over with a solemn look on his face!
"Haozi, the company commander has just sent an order: We will start retreating at three o'clock in the morning tonight and prepare to cross the river. We will try to cross the river before dawn, and then blow up the pontoon bridge to get rid of the Baigouzi pursuers behind!"
"We still have a lot of rice on hand, so we will definitely have no problem holding on for seven or eight days!"
"But the pork and chicken we brought back from the Zhou family are almost gone, and we can still take care of them all day and night!"
"As the deputy squad leader of the cooking squad, you have to find a way to get some fish and game back to eat while marching on the road, just in case of emergencies."
"We don't know when we will be able to stop and rest during this walk. We must prepare for the worst!"
After looking at the nearly completed throwing net in his hand, Li Hao replied confidently: "Don't worry, old monitor, the throwing net in my hand is almost finished."
"With this cast net, I can catch fish wherever there is water no matter day or night!"
"It will be over in two or three hours, just give it a try then!"
The old squad leader looked dubious and did not speak.
He had seen fishing, and there were many fishermen in the Soviet area.
In his eyes, those experienced fishermen would not dare to say such big words, let alone Li Hao, who is just a baby.
But when he thought of the miracles Li Hao had brought to him, the old squad leader hesitated again. Maybe he really had this ability.
For the next few hours, no matter what he did, the old squad leader's peripheral vision never left Li Hao.
"Finally done!" Li Hao put down the fishing net in his hand and said with a long sigh of relief.
The old squad leader, who was not very relieved, immediately came over: "Haozi, the fishing net is ready, how about we go try it now!"
The flash of worry on the old squad leader's face did not escape Li Hao's eyes. In order not to disappoint the old squad leader, he immediately replied: "Okay, go now and call Wang Bing and Zhang Yu!"
After finding a backflow area by the river, Li Hao started to take action. Holding the fishing net in his hand, he used all his strength and cooperated with both hands to throw it out and in.
This is the first time in the old squad leader’s life that he has seen such a fishing net.
The fishing net thrown into the sky quickly spread out, forming a circular fishing net with a diameter of more than five meters.
As soon as it fell from the sky and hit the water's surface, it sank to the bottom of the river in an instant, causing almost no waves.
The old squad leader stared closely at Li Hao and became nervous when he saw that Li Hao started to pull the nylon rope in his hand after waiting for less than half a minute.
More than half of the huge fishing net has been dragged out of the water, and there is no movement yet.
A disappointed expression slowly appeared on the old squad leader's face.
"There are fish in the fishing net..." Wang Bing's scream next to him rekindled the old squad leader's hope.
After the entire fishing net was out of the water, three large crucian carp, a carp, and small miscellaneous fish that I didn’t even know the name of for several days were trapped at the bottom of the fishing net!
"Quickly find a tree vine and tie up these big fish and small fish. These are good things to heal injuries and supplement nutrition!" the old squad leader ordered with his eyes shining.
The cast net is different from other fishing nets in that the cast net can only be cast once in one place.
Li Hao led three people along the river for nearly a kilometer. Every time he netted, he could more or less catch a few fish, and few of them failed.
The old squad leader who was shocked all the way said with great surprise: "Okay~ I no longer have to worry about the nutrition of the soldiers~
"As long as there is water, Haozi can get fish, and the troops will have fish soup to drink!"
"I, the squad leader, can take a long breath of relief!"
At three o'clock in the morning, the cooking team received the order to set off.
Three mules and horses carried all the food, and the warriors only needed to carry a large iron pot and a few tools.
After marching lightly for nearly two hours, the ferry, crowded with a large number of Red Army troops, appeared in front of everyone.
After taking a glance at the situation at the ferry, Li Hao was frightened.
Both sides of the road were littered with corpses of Red Army soldiers, with broken arms and legs, thrown directly on the roadside without attention.
Li Hao followed the troops through the middle of the road, as if walking through corpses. His nose was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, and even a hint of rotten smell.
Even though he had been on the battlefield and had killed people with his own hands, the tragic scenes in front of him and the permeating smell in the air still made him feel sick to his stomach.
His face also turned pale.
The old squad leader's face was gloomy and scary. These corpses were once heroic Red Army soldiers, but now they were dumped on the roadside like this. The tragic scene made this veteran a little bit intolerable.
After taking a deep breath, he explained in a low voice to Li Hao.
"Those corpses must have been blown up by Bai Gouzi's plane. Bai Gouzi is really abominable!"
"I heard that these days white dog planes come over at dawn and drop bombs for free."
"Many soldiers were about to rush across the Xiangjiang River. When a bomb dropped, they were blown into the river along with the pontoon."
"As soon as daybreak comes, the bodies of Red Army soldiers who were killed in bombings are everywhere on this section of the river, and even the river is dyed red!"
"The pontoon bridge in front was also blown up and repaired. It was repaired and then blown up again. It was repaired several times!"
"It's our turn to cross the river. Hurry up and get on the pontoon. Stand firm and don't fall into the river!"
"We must all cross the river before dawn, otherwise we will suffer disaster when the white dog plane comes!"
On the constantly swaying pontoon, the cool breeze calmed Li Hao a lot.
He was very aware of the casualties this war had caused to the Red Army.
Under the attack of modern weapons, human life is too fragile. If a bomb falls, dozens or hundreds of lives will be lost.
Thinking of this, Li Hao's pace subconsciously accelerated a lot. He wanted to leave the river quickly and enter the woods.
Only in this way can the threat from aircraft to the Red Army be reduced to a minimum.
After crossing the Xiangjiang River without any danger, the troops did not stop. They walked another ten kilometers. Only after planes began to circle overhead did the troops marching in a hurry stopped!
"Stop, take the company as a unit, go into the woods to rest, and then march again at night!"
When the soldiers began to rest, the busy work of the cooking team had just begun.
