Chapter 48 Chapter VII

Now, with a small team, he rushed out of the gully on the east side of the big mountain leg in the south of the 631 highland, and ran towards the 633 highland in the southeast. Chen Guoqing was not satisfied with his performance on the battlefield today.Since our army bombarded the enemy's position in Qipanling at dawn, he believes that he has lost his composure twice due to nervousness: one time he failed to withstand the huge resonance sound that filled the sky and the earth during the shelling and vomited; After the order from the region, the panic appeared on his face (the latter came from his intuition: this battle is not easy to fight!).He felt that when the above two incidents happened, Deputy Head Liu gave him a contemptuous glance.From last night to now, Liu Zongkui has become an idol in his heart, brave and fearless, not surprised in the face of difficulties, always so firm and calm.The real soldiers are people like Liu Zongkui, so being despised by deputy head Liu is a very insulting thing for him. ——But now it’s all right, he is leading a team onto the battlefield, and he will perform on the battlefield.Even after entering the war, he finds that his life is not perfect, but he will find his lost dignity in the battle and make his life more perfect!

They ran for a while in the depressions on both sides of the 632 highland, and were attacked by the enemy's high-level and flat-purpose machine guns on Yingzui Peak.Chen Guoqing lay down on the ground in shock, a flash of fear flashed through his mind, and then the image of a female military doctor appeared.When the female military doctor led the ambulance team down from Height 631, he felt that she was the incarnation of the bright sunshine and the vibrant green that filled the big hillside, and a spirit born out of them.The female military doctor has an astonishingly simple and natural beauty, which is quite different from the old living room beauty of Yang Min he is familiar with. The latter belongs more to the beauty of the spirit or the beauty of the kingdom of heaven. The mundane atmosphere is more vivid, lively and lovely, and the heart is moved for some reason, and suddenly realizes that the beauty of sunlight and greenery from the wilderness can also become a shortcut to heaven.It also makes you think: to be alive is to be beautiful, and there's no need to pick at its imperfections or put a lot of platonic musings on top of it.

But death is sometimes beautiful.He thought again, staring at a pebble surrounded by small trees twenty meters ahead.Another string of high-level and flat-purpose machine gun bullets passed by, and he jumped up and ran towards the pebble quickly.This time he jumped farther, and he didn't move for five minutes after lying down.If avoiding death is detrimental to the dignity and beauty of life, he thought, for example, on the battlefield today, many people have died heroically, many people are dying, and many people are about to die. If you still hope to live, it is not beautiful in itself. It is a kind of beauty to fight and die as bravely as others. ...But Zhang Li should live on.War did not absolutely require such a youthful female sacrifice.She lived to be someone's wife (presumably she was already) and the mother of someone's child, bringing happiness to others and herself.Without this woman in the world, there would be a missing road to heaven.

In the final analysis, human thinking about heaven is nothing more than thinking about happiness.Their yearning for heaven is nothing more than a yearning for happiness... Now he led this small team up the hillside on the northwest side of 633 Heights.Chen Guoqing once again thought soberly: the female military doctor should not be allowed to go to Heights 634 with him.He can leave her on the 633 Heights, where she can also perform her duties! When the team reached the mountainside, the enemy's high-level dual-purpose machine guns on Yingzui Peak stopped chasing them, and turned their guns to attack Deputy Head Liu and his heavy machine gun on the southern leg of 631 Heights.Chen Guoqing exhaled a long breath, straightened up, and ordered to speed up.They met Xiao Bin, who was coming down from the main peak, under the ridgeline on the southwest side of the main peak. The defensive battle on the east side of the 633 highland is going on, and there are fierce gunshots on the mountain and down the mountain.Xiao Bin guided them to move southward along the west side of the north-south ridge line extending from the main peak, and came to a concave slope at the southern end of the highland.Xiao Bin stopped and told them that the heavy machine guns on the third east highland were covering the infantry attacking highland 633, and they no longer blocked the mountain leg on the southeast side of the highland. Go to the depression on the northeast side.

"Instructor, you must crawl forward!" Xiao Bin was not at ease about the instructor leading troops to support the Ninth Company, but he had no reason to stop Chen Guoqing. It was obvious that the Ninth Company needed reinforcements, and all he could do was to repeatedly remind the other party. "You must be fast, but you must not let the enemy on the third highland and the 634th highland find out. Once the enemy is stared at, you must expose your movement to the enemy's firepower, and the loss will be great!" "I understand!" Chen Guoqing replied.Standing here, he can already see what is happening on the 634 highland: the northeast, north and northwest sides of the highland, the Ninth Company is fighting in three directions at the same time, the difficulty of the situation can be seen at a glance, he must immediately lead the team into battle !

But there is Zhang Li. "Doctor Zhang," he turned back to find the female military doctor in the crowd, his voice was more urgent and orderly, "Let's adjust the deployment, I will take the gay men from the ambulance team to Height 634, and you will take some stretchers to stay here , to participate in the eighth company's battlefield rescue...that's it!" This time he didn't single out Zhang Li to stay on Height 633, but the most unresponsive person in the team also understood his intentions.Zhang Li's face, which was flushed from climbing the mountain, became even redder. She hurriedly picked up his words and said:

"No, instructor, you can't arrange this! . . . I—" "I think this female doctor should obey the instructor's arrangement!" Xiao Bin intervened and interrupted her.His thinking was: It is understandable that the trainer is unwilling to take a woman to the battlefield, but where can he send someone to protect her there? ! They didn't discuss it any further.Chen Guoqing glanced at Height 634 and couldn't help being surprised! From the valley on the southeast side of the highland, at least one company of enemies emerged! A cloud of thick smoke gushed out from the ravine on the south side of the East Third Highland, filling the gap between it and the 634 Highland.This team of enemies coming from the direction of Tianzi Mountain has just bypassed the foot of the southeast side of the 634 highland, and is rushing northward into the smoke quickly!

Xiao Bin, who followed him and looked there, immediately understood: when the enemy in the direction of Feicui Ridge aggressively counterattacked at 630, 632, and 633 highlands, the enemy at Tianzishan also stepped up their pressure on our army at 634 highland.Their reinforcement of the 634 highland from the foot of Yingzui Peak was delayed and disintegrated, so they used the new 1st company to attack the 9th company from the east side of the highland.In an instant, Chen Guoqing thought: If these enemies are allowed to go around to the northeast and north sides of 634 Heights, they will immediately cause a devastating blow to the Ninth Company!

This enemy must be blocked!As soon as this idea came up, everything in the world was forgotten by him! "Follow me—" He waved the submachine gun in his hand, shouted in a tune-changed voice, jumped over the ridge line first, and rushed down the southeast side of the 633 highland! He didn't remember Xiao Bin's warning to crawl forward, and the enemy's heavy machine guns on Dongsan Heights had to support the infantry's attack, and they didn't find this team for the time being.When Chen Guoqing jumped over the ridge at the bottom of the mountain leg and entered the depression on the northeast side of the 634 highland, what Xiao Bin was worried about did not happen!

Chen Guoqing didn't stay here, so he led his team to bravely meet the enemies coming from the valley in the southeast!He ran ahead of everyone, and first crossed a slope that stretched gently from the depression on the northeast side of the 634 highland to the bottom of the valley. There were only a few bushes on the slope, and there were no terrain features that could be used. Running south, I entered a metasequoia forest.The light in the forest suddenly dimmed, which made him feel very uncomfortable because of his poor eyesight.The ground was still flat here, and he felt he should move on and go to the other side of the forest to snipe the enemy!

What happened next was a real encounter.From Chen Guoqing's point of view, even though he was mentally prepared to take the initiative to meet the enemy, he had no plans to start a sudden battle with the enemy in the woods. In addition, his eyesight was not good, so he could only see the enemy clearly when he was very close to the enemy; He said that first, the smog in the valley on the southeast side of the 634 highland, and then the forest, hindered their observation.So the moment Chen Guoqing who was running and the enemy's vanguard saw each other within a distance of more than ten meters, it was too late for the two sides to lie down on the spot.The enemy fired first in a hurry, and missed Chen Guoqing, but shot a very long, alarming burst onto a tree trunk as thick as a bucket.Chen Guoqing also opened fire eagerly. He didn't see clearly whether the enemy was dead or not. He just approached the opponent's wide-open eyes in horror from above a bright flame.He was still in a state of running. After shooting a burst, his body did not stop behind the tree trunk hit by the enemy, but was brought to a forest clearing in front by the inertia of the movement.Suddenly, he saw a ball of fire light up towards him from behind a tree trunk two meters away.He realized what it was, and also understood that dodging was impossible, so he didn't dodge. Instead, he put all his strength on the right index finger holding the trigger of the submachine gun, and threw a dazzling ball of fire at the enemy who shot the fire. "Da da da——" the gunshots of the two men rang out and then stopped. Chen Guoqing first knelt down with one leg limp, and then slowly fell down on the grass in front of him. Until the last moment of his life, Chen Guoqing did not forget to pursue the perfection of life.He went to the battlefield and died for the above goal. When the wings of the god of death finally extinguished the fire of his life, he probably knew that his ideal had been partially realized.Ever since he rushed into the woods with his team facing the enemy, even the moment he realized that death was coming, he didn't feel the slightest fear in his heart, so this bookish man who was not a real soldier in spirit , in the last ten minutes of his life, he became a fearless hero who is rare among real soldiers. When Chen Guoqing fell face-to-face on the grassland in the forest, the encounter in the fir forest in the canyon on the east side of the 634 highland had just begun.It went on for a long time, and there were still sporadic shots ringing out just before dark.Since all officers and soldiers of our army were killed in battle, people have not figured out the detailed process of the battle.It can be guessed and imagined that the close distance between the enemy and us is the main reason for the large number of deaths and no survivors of the combatants.For a period of time after the war, there was a rumor that it seemed that there had been hand-to-hand combat in this battle. The people who used the darkness to clean the battlefield the next night retorted angrily: "Melee combat did not happen at all. The strength of the army sniped the enemy three times its own, and saved the ninth company of the battalion from the imminent disaster.When all the victims fell, their heads and muzzles were facing forward. This kind of heroic scene is enough to shake the world and weep ghosts and gods.
