The speed of removing the bandage on his hand quickly increased, and soon, a wound with a trace of blood coming out appeared in front of Li Hao.
"The injury is so serious and the weather is so hot. If it is not treated, it will definitely become suppurative and inflamed, and it will be over by then!" Li Hao analyzed with a frown.
Then he took out a clear rifle bullet from the bullet belt.
"Brother Wang, bring me the kitchen knife and matches!" Li Hao ordered smoothly.
Nowadays, Li Hao's prestige in the cooking class is the highest except for the old squad leader. Especially Wang Bing, who almost obeys Li Hao's orders.
The old squad leader also came over and reminded with a worried look: "Haozi, can you do it? This is a gunshot wound. You must not act recklessly!"
"There should be no problem!" Li Hao answered confidently.
He took the kitchen knife and skillfully cut the bullet into two pieces.
Discard the bullet head, take the bullet case, and carefully sprinkle the gunpowder inside the bullet case onto the muzzle of the gun.
"Give Zhang Yun a piece of towel to bite, it will be very painful for a while!" Li Hao took out a match and ordered.
Wang Bing, who was standing by, quickly stuffed a towel into Zhang Yun's hand, and then stared at Li Hao closely, wanting to know what Li Hao planned to do next.
Under the gazes of several pairs of shocked eyes, Li Hao quickly lit a match and then slowly moved towards the wound where gunpowder had been sprinkled.
"Chi chi chi~"
The gunpowder was suddenly ignited and burned rapidly.
A ball of white light appeared at the wound, and then turned into a plume of white smoke and disappeared, and a burning smell also reached everyone's nose!
"Use gunpowder to cauterize the wound~"
Everyone was frightened by Li Hao's actions. They did not expect that Li Hao would use this method to disinfect.
"Okay!" Li Hao replied with a long sigh of relief.
Because the wound was so painful, Zhang Yun's forehead was covered with beads of sweat that had just appeared and were densely covered with sweat.
The wound that was still bleeding just now has been scorched by the burning gunpowder, and there is no more blood coming out.
Li Hao was very satisfied with the result and continued to order: "Bring the crushed herbs and give me a bandage. If you add the herbs and bandage it together, there should be no problem!"
"Haozi, is this really okay?" the old squad leader asked, still in shock, with his big eyes wide open.
"There should be no problem. The wound has been disinfected by the high temperature produced by burning gunpowder, and there should be no bacteria. Coupled with the herbal juice to prevent accidents, I am 90% sure that the wound will not be inflamed!"
The old squad leader nodded and said nothing. No one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, the company correspondent suddenly rushed over: "Old squad leader, the company commander asked the cooking squad to pack up and prepare to retreat immediately!"
"Retreat? Didn't we defeat the enemy? Why should we retreat!" The old squad leader and Li Hao himself looked at the correspondent with puzzled faces, not believing this order.
"We defeated the enemy on the high ground, annihilating one battalion and taking more than a hundred prisoners. But more enemies suddenly came from behind us, catching the third battalion by surprise!"
"The high ground we just occupied was taken back by Bai Gouzi, and more and more enemies are coming to kill us!"
"If the troops continue to fight, it won't take long for us to be surrounded by Baigouzi reinforcements. The retreat order should be issued soon. The company commander asked you to prepare!"
"Pack up your things immediately and prepare to retreat!" The old squad leader reacted quickly and ordered with a solemn look on his face.
As soon as the supplies and food were loaded onto the backs of the mules and horses, the order to retreat came through.
"Follow the main force of the regiment and retreat!" the old squad leader ordered decisively.
"Zhang Yun will follow us first and retreat to a safe place before returning to the team!"
The battle that was about to be won turned into a defeat in an instant because of the sudden arrival of enemy reinforcements, and they had to retreat.
Although the cooking squad did not directly participate in the battle, Li Hao could clearly see the disappointed expressions on everyone's faces.
They marched continuously from the afternoon until one o'clock in the morning, when the demoralized troops received the order to stop and rest.
The old squad leader led the cooking squad until they found the Second Company, which had more than half of its casualties, before stopping.
"Start boiling water for cooking. The soldiers can continue on their way after they are full!" Company Commander Zhang Yu looked very unhappy. His expression returned to normal only after seeing the old squad leader, and he ordered with a serious look.
"Company Commander, you are injured!" Seeing the bandage on the company commander's left arm, the old squad leader was startled and said with concern.
The company commander replied with a nonchalant look: "I was bitten by a white dog bullet. It was a penetrating wound, and it was caused by a rifle bullet. The bleeding has stopped and it is no problem!"
Then he complained with dissatisfaction: "This battle is really frustrating~"
"We have obviously occupied the high ground, but we didn't expect that an enemy reinforcement force came out halfway and took the high ground back again!"
"More than thirty soldiers of my second company died in vain, and a platoon leader also died in vain. It's hateful!"
The old squad leader comforted: "Don't worry, we will definitely win the battle next time and avenge the sacrificed soldiers!"
"I'm going to cook now to feed the living soldiers. Only when the troops are fed can they regain their morale and win the battle~"
If the army wins the battle, Li Hao's single-handed destruction of the enemy's secret firepower point will definitely be widely publicized in the regiment, and he may be given a third-class merit report to his superiors...
But an accident occurred on the battlefield and the troops lost the battle!
Except for the second battalion, the first and third battalions all suffered heavy losses.
The regiment leader's current thoughts are on how to make up for the losses of the entire regiment. As for Li Hao's heroic performance on the battlefield, even if he has not forgotten it, he will not think about it now.
From the moment the troops retreated, no one in the entire Thirty-seventh Regiment talked about Li Hao's heroic performance on the battlefield.
Except for Wang Bing complaining a few times and giving Li Hao a hard time, even Li Hao himself had almost forgotten about taking down the enemy's firepower point single-handedly when the old squad leader suddenly called him aside and explained with a serious face.
"Haozi, I don't know where you learned what you used on the battlefield that day and what you usually train. But there is one thing you must remember. You must not be impulsive here in the future!"
"You were lucky this time and escaped unscathed, but you won't be so lucky next time!"
"You have to remember that our Red Army is a whole, and all operations are coordinated with each other. We do not advocate the courage of one man again!"
"Also, your performance that day was seen by many people in the regiment, and the regiment leader also saw it clearly. Moreover, he did not forget your contribution because the army lost the battle, and he is ready to commend you to the entire regiment!"
"In our Red Army, merit is merit, fault is fault, and they will never be compared!"
"However, at the last moment when the commendation order was about to be issued, I found the regiment leader and stopped him!"
The expression on Li Hao's face did not change at all, and was calm, as if he had heard a very ordinary thing!
The old squad leader was very puzzled and asked: "You don't want to know why?"
The second update is here today! Please collect it! Please reward it! Please recommend it!
