Chapter 21 Chapter Thirteen Fatal Selection (1)

There is no need to look up the word selection in a dictionary. Soldiers have their own interpretations. Pick the top ones. What is top notch? The most suitable for existing needs. This is a bit of a deviation. You have used a lot of effort to develop in one direction, but it may not be able to meet the so-called existing needs.Yuan Lang later said that this cannot be regarded as a generalization, the selection method of the old A design, the most important thing is the overall quality.Comprehensive quality: an important quality that soldiers regardless of age and nationality must face up to.

I know what comprehensive quality is, not only physical fitness and skills, intelligence and reaction, but also your heart, your whole person. So I think it's unfair. At that time, like all the participants, I had great opinions on this selection. I think many people who were eliminated were better than me. For example, never leave your comrades. It is the most important admonition of the Seventh Steel Company and all brother companies. Should this be included in the overall quality? Of course of course.Yuan Lang said. I have seen with my own eyes many people being eliminated in order to cover their comrades in arms.So-and-so, and so-and-so.

Yuan Lang didn't even think about it when he answered. He said that the military has never been a profession that requires fairness. You gave up the fairness that many people demanded to be a soldier, and to maintain the fairness between countries. I don't understand what he said. He is different from us, and he doesn't think about problems in the same world.Even I understand that he is a very good officer, so good that my old company commander can only be regarded as a big boy in front of him. The only thing that comforts me is that he wrote down the names of the people I mentioned, wrote it down very solemnly, and said that he hopes to have such a selection in the future.

But old A never came to my old army for selection. Doesn't he understand how difficult this opportunity is for a soldier? But it seemed that he understood, and later he said that he didn't write down those names to coax me, he wrote them down for himself, and wrote down a kind of respect. Sorry respect. ★Second Class Non-commissioned Officer Xu Sanduo Wu Liuyi jumped out of the car first, rolled on the spot, and opened the gun mount under the cover of the car body.The members of the Old Seventh Company naturally followed him and jumped off, forming a 360-degree firepower circle.Cheng Cai searched the surrounding hills in the scope.The wind blows across the grassland, and the surrounding area is surprisingly quiet.

Several people looked at each other suspiciously.Soldiers jumped off several trucks one by one. Halfway through the jump, there was a sudden, sharp and strange gunshot, and one soldier smoked before he even landed on the ground. The gunshots exploded immediately, coming from all directions, low and shocking, suppressing the soldiers' counterattack gunfire.Several soldiers beside the car, who were not standing still, smoked and lay down on the spot. Chengcai reported nervously: three o'clock direction...five o'clock direction, eight o'clock direction...six o'clock direction is also available!

Gan Xiaoning panicked: "It's all heavy weapons, we can't do it at all!" there!Xu Sanduo pointed in a direction. Several people rushed towards a dry ditch tens of meters away. The opponent's shooter was obviously well-trained. Halfway through, Ma Xiaoshuai, who was behind, was blocked and ran away to the other side.Xu Sanduo and a few other soldiers fell heavily into the dry ditch. A soldier beside Xu Sanduo was beaten until he was smoking before he jumped into the ditch.A teacher's brother also beat so hard? Chengcai observed in the scope, and the attackers who were far beyond the range of the rifles finally appeared. They were all heavy machine guns and dual-purpose machine guns mounted on high-mobility off-road vehicles. They looked like several moving weapons. library.Chengcai whispered: "Reconnaissance Battalion of Division Headquarters!"All high motor vehicles!Heavy firearms!

Wu Liuyi frowned: High motor vehicle?This terrain?If you don't want to go, you have to let someone chase out the egg yolk? ! A few people no longer had the courage to resist, and fled scrambling, leaving only a smoking soldier, reluctantly pretending to be dead there. The trucks on the prairie drove away, revealing the soldiers who lost their cover behind the trucks, and they fell down one by one in the confrontation with disparity in strength.An old A jumped out of the car and threw himself on the ground, knocking down the last soldier.The surrounding gradually became silent.The commander of this siege battle drove over, driving an off-road vehicle with a sullen face. He was Gao Cheng.All around are human bodies lying on the ground smoking smoke, which is easily reminiscent of a real battlefield.The field walkie-talkie hanging on the car rang, and he took it off:

Headquarters, I am Sentinel No. 1... Yes, the encounter has ended, and twenty-six people have been eliminated, nearly half of them.The rest fled in the direction of 7 o'clock and 3 o'clock, and I will organize a follow-up.complete. The trucks hadn't left yet, and they could take away the soldiers who had just got off the trucks. A few people far away were unwilling to be dragged away like this, and they began to quarrel and shoved: Son of a bitch!Did any of you fight like this?Start playing without getting out of the car!You are like pulling into the encirclement before fighting!

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion also shouted: It was originally a test of survivability!You didn't survive to blame yourself! Gao Cheng walked to the middle and said: Please invite someone to get on the bus!What are you doing? The soldiers were finally discouraged and climbed into the car silently. Gao Cheng started his car and drove in another direction. Xu Sanduo and the others ran wildly in the dry river ditch. The morning sun was already very poisonous, and with the weight on their bodies, they were already sweating profusely. Suddenly, Xu Sanduo stopped. Gan Xiaoning also noticed at this moment: Where's Ma Xiaoshuai? !

Chengcai said: It seems to be intercepted. Why didn't you say it earlier? Can you be saved if you say so? Frustrated with fatigue and anxiety, the two stared at each other. Wu Liuyi shouted: "Okay, if you want to quarrel, you will be arrested and brought back to the headquarters to quarrel." Several people then fell silent. Xu Sanduo looked at his group, there were seven people in total, Cheng Cai, Wu Liuyi, Gan Xiaoning, himself and three soldiers he didn't know: seven people, we can't lose one more person from now on. There are no roads on the grassland, only weeds more than a foot high, Gaocheng seems to want to vent his heart in the bumps.He suddenly noticed something, turned around, slammed on the brakes, and the car almost rolled into the grass.Gao Cheng jumped out of the car and strode towards the grass just now.

Is there something you hide like this?When you see the car rolling over, you don't make a sound! A soldier who was extremely well camouflaged with blades of grass stood up from the grass.It was Ma Xiaoshuai.He was lying down in the grass that General Gao Cheng had run over just now. Company Commander, you said that the first point of camouflage and lurking must not be exposed when the enemy does not find it! I am the deputy commander of the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion! The soldiers of the old seventh company call you the company commander! Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at the face covered in camouflage so hard to see: Are you a soldier of the old seventh company? Report to the company commander, I am Ma Xiaoshuai, and I am the 5,000th and last soldier of the No. 7 Steel Company. Gao Cheng immediately remembered: I remember you.We held a ceremony for your five thousand. Yes, Captain! Gao Cheng hesitated for a moment, looked around, and said: Listen to my order and continue to hide. Ma Xiaoshuai subconsciously fell down in the grass again.Gao Cheng walked towards his car as if nothing had happened.As soon as he got to the side of the car, Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly called out from behind: "Company commander? ...the company commander!What did Gao Cheng say you were shouting about?Ma Xiaoshuai said why didn't you take me away?Gao Cheng ignored him, waved his hands irritably, and said go go go go!But Ma Xiaoshuai has already stood up, he said that you have found me!Gao Cheng still ignored him, he said it was a coincidence, a blind cat bumped into a dead mouse, understand?Ma Xiaoshuai said: You are violating the regulations!company commander! Gao Cheng said: It is not easy for the soldiers of the old seventh company to survive, I don't want to miss your chance just because of a coincidence.After talking, I went to the car.Ma Xiaoshuai called the company commander again from behind, but Gao Cheng had already started the car and drove away. company commander? ! ... Are you worthy of being a soldier of the Seventh Steel Company? ! As Ma Xiaoshuai said, he took off his helmet, and flicked it on the laser beacon a few times, a puff of smoke came out from above. Gao Cheng stopped the car suddenly. Ma Xiaoshuai put the helmet back on his head and stood upright. Gao Cheng had no choice but to back up the car.Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help crying at last, he was too young after all. Gao Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said to come back with me and be my soldier in the future. Yuan Lang was measuring the distance marked on the map in the base, then looked at the two old A's beside him, and ordered: "Go to this location and set up an ambush, this is the only way to the destination."Before the two old A's left, Yuan Lang added another sentence, telling them to pay attention to the emotions of the eliminated soldiers and not to provoke them. Old A said don't worry about the captain, we all came here like this. The two soldiers turned and left while talking, when Director Zhang and Li Meng walked in. Are you the person in charge of this competition?Director Zhang asked. Yuan Lang glanced at Officer Zhang and smiled. He said that there is no person in charge and no competition, and I am the field commander.What do you want?Officer Zhang said, I am Officer Zhang, a military reporter, and this is my assistant Xiao Li. We would like to invite you to talk about this competition.Yuan Lang said, what is there to talk about?There were fifty-nine contestants, and twenty-seven were eliminated in less than two hours. No, there were three more, thirty.It's not a sport, it's survival of the fittest. Officer Zhang wants more things, what is he afraid of?Meaning, concept, modernization, whatever. Yuan Lang smiled: What are you talking about?I guess the participating soldiers will scold me to death!Because this is completely different from their previous fair games.But we are old A, what is the thing that tests the quality of an individual soldier the most?Break away from the main force, throw it behind the enemy, infiltrate and fight, one person is like a group of people.At this time, it is simply not enough to say that one is enough to make money, and the two can make money. Preserving one's own life has become the first priority.Survive and get the mission done.We only need people who survived and completed the task in this selection.Do you know the name of the world class army survival competition? Officer Zhang shook his head and said: I don't know. Yuan Lang said that the name was called Huahua, what is the death match, what is the soldier's Olympics, but its real name is translated as Survival and Assault. Inexplicable expressions appeared on the faces of Officer Zhang and Li Meng. Survival, or infiltration survival, of course means to survive; assault can only mean to fight.To fight to live, to live to fight, to reach the full potential of mind and body, that's what modern infantry warfare is all about, and really, it's what being a soldier is all about. Suddenly there was a faint scolding from outside, Yuan Lang smiled and stood up. I have to go see the captive soldiers, they're yelling at me again. After speaking, he walked towards the captive soldiers outside. In the depths of the grassland, a high-speed motor vehicle was chasing two small figures running away.Those were two soldiers, but they were running separately. When the locomotive was closest to one of them, it suddenly abandoned them and turned to the other one to pursue.The wheels ran over a fledgling fire, and a freshly killed hare lay beside it.When a soldier was about to turn over a hill, he was beaten and smoked.A soldier was circled back alive by the car. The soldier in the car said with a smirk: Still grilling?Smoke could be seen from more than ten miles away. The soldier sat down on the ground bitterly. Xu Sanduo and the others hid behind a hill. He handed the few shabby grass roots he had just dug up to the fellow soldiers. He told them: This is Seven Star Grass, which has an earthy smell but is still sweet; this is wild bracken, which can also be eaten. Gan Xiaoning followed suit and dug, saying that these gangsters are dead!He kicked the empty cans off the floor. But Wu Liuyi shouted to him: Bury it.Expose the target. Gan Xiaoning had no choice but to dig hard and bury the can, saying, I have the right to bury the bastard who designed this prank.Wasn't thinking about survival in the wild?Get some wild vegetables, a box of luncheon meat, I will contribute a steel helmet, a fire, a pot of pork emerald soup, roasted hare, boiled sand chicken, roasted grasshopper... A soldier protested. He said that if you talk about it again, I will revolt. Xu Sanduo hurriedly handed over a grass root, saying that it could not start a fire. Chengcai agrees with Xu Sanduo's statement: Just bear with it.This terrain, if we start a fire, it's no different from fighting with an open fire. Didn't those two just slipped away like this? One click... one click is two days.I'm not afraid of being hungry for two days, but what kind of two days is this?Carrying sixty catties, running and hiding, being chased, is that enough food for an hour?Gan Xiaoning looked at the grass root in his hand: How many calories does a person need every day? Complaints belong to complaints, but he swallowed it anyway. Wu Liuyi looked into the distance, which is their future battlefield: The more you say that, the more I want to join the old A, the more you scold me, the more I want to join the old A. Gan Xiaoning also let out his tongue, he said: The more I talk, the more I want to join the old A, the more I scold, the more I want to join the old A! At this moment, Chengcai came over and said Xu Sanduo, don't dig, the grass roots you dug are not enough. But Xu Sanduo didn't stop, he said I'll dig for you. Where's your lunch meat?We just ate and you didn't.Chengcai said. Xu Sanduo hesitated and said that I ate it. Chengcai was a little disdainful, and Wu Liuyi also took a look at him.Chengcai thought for a while and said: Just say the word forbearance, Xu Sanduo, you have already made me submissive. Suddenly there was the sound of a car, and several of them immediately fell to the ground. Cheng Cai looked at the high-spirited soldiers in the car through the scope. He said that it was meal time, and they must have gone back to the camp for dinner.As soon as Gan Xiaoning heard about eating, Gan Xiaoning thought about it again. He said that there was an old story, our army entered the enemy's camp, the wine was mellow and the meat was fragrant, and the roast leg of lamb on the shelf was still steaming... Wu Liuyi didn't bother to talk to him, saying that you thought you were an armored dragon?A battalion of people, plus a team of gloomy old A. Xu Sanduo suddenly said: I think we should leave now. Gan Xiaoning said how to go, what to take?Are your legs still soft?Soldiers, there must be food! Xu Sanduo said: Then I have to go. Wu Liuyi stood up leaning on his gun, and said: He is right. Chengcai also said: With this gap, we can be a lot ahead of others.You know, as long as there are three, we have many competitors. Several people looked over sensitively. Wu Liuyi snorted: Only three, but there are six of us. Chengcai asked: Who can reach the end? Everyone looked at the compass, identified their positions, and then walked away. The grassland in front is endless. The night gradually fell. In the office of the base, Director Zhang was groping his stomach at the desk, and he said: Can you tell me how to start this article?On a certain month and a certain day, when autumn came on the frontier, the wind and the battle flag fluttered, and the singing and the slogan rang together. A certain unit of our army launched a new war based on the new concept of modern warfare... Li Meng next to him pondered the details: it would be better to change the name to Ling, so as to show the strength of a man of iron and blood. Officer Zhang said yes.It's not that I said you, Xiao Lizi, you are talented.He then recited: My warrior leaps like a dragon and a tiger, overcomes difficulties and reaches new heights.how?Li Meng said it was very good. Only one felt bad, and that was Gao Cheng who had just come in, and he was looking at the map on the case.Gao Cheng was so annoyed that he had already added another 4 to the "Number of Eliminations". He said that the two are reporters, why don't you forget to eat and sleep? , He was stunned when he looked at them, and they were also stunned when they looked at him. Is it you?Gao Cheng was a little surprised. Officer Zhang nodded again and again: Hello, hello. Is it another peak?Li Meng was still talking about their manuscript.Director Zhang is right, what's your opinion?Gao Cheng said nothing.No food, no drink, no goal, I really want to invite the two of you to the wasteland to create a two-day peak, and save the two of you here working hard behind closed doors.Of course, I have to have this power.After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he tensed his face and went out. It took Li Meng a long time to react, and said: Don't bother with him. That's, that's... where are we talking? Oh, eat. From the field cooking truck, freshly cooked hot rice and dishes came down.Soldiers spread tarps on the grass and prepare their dinner.Yuan Lang and several old A drove back from the outside, and a captured soldier followed behind him in disgrace, and went to the prisoner's side without being greeted. Deputy Battalion Commander Gao, I arrested five.How many are you? I don't compare this with you.four. Twenty left. I want to ask you a word, if all the pawns are eliminated, do you plan to go back empty-handed? Yuan Lang nodded without hesitation. Perhaps this can prove that your old A has a high military quality.Gao Cheng looked at the group of dejected captives and said: But do you know, this is too cruel to them? Yuan Lang said: I could have entered the Army Aviation, but I worked as the hardest infantry, and entered the hardest A brigade, because I firmly believe that our country has the best infantry in the world. So be so hard on them? Because I want them to be better.I joined the A team because I swam 30 kilometers armed, and then I was delayed by the storm and stayed on the reef tens of meters for four full days.Yuan Lang seemed to be talking about an interesting thing: those days I tied myself to the reef, and a group of sharks accompanied me for four full days. Gao Cheng obviously hadn't heard of it, and he was stunned. The sun has risen, and the grassland is more gorgeous. A fat and clumsy sheep walked past chewing grass.Wu Liuyi approached quietly, then pounced, but the sheep ran away in panic.Wu Liuyi was chasing a gerbil running away in another direction, he flew out with a piece of dirt, and finally knocked the guy out of his wits. After a night of running, several exhausted people slept in a sunken grass, and Gan Xiaoning was still licking his lips in his sleep.Wu Liuyi came over and sat quietly beside them.Cheng Cai was the one who slept most vigilantly. He opened his eyes and looked at Wu Liuyi's back. He saw Wu Liuyi's masseter muscle was chewing, and he couldn't help asking: What are you eating? Wu Liuyi said breakfast. breakfast?Gan Xiaoning's eyes suddenly opened in a daze. Wu Liuyi said that you can eat it too. Gan Xiaoning's mind suddenly became clear, and he opened his eyes and jumped up. Oh my god!This guy is eating rats! There are a few gerbils beside Wu Liuyi's feet. Although they have been washed and stripped, rats are rats, and they are always uncomfortable to see. Wu Liuyi said, this is not a mouse, but a gerbil, also called a prairie rat. They were all frightened, watching Wu Liuyi chewing there dumbfounded, trying to resist the feeling of wanting to vomit. Gan Xiaoning couldn't believe his eyes, he said you are a cat?I mean, is this delicious? It's not delicious, Wu Liuyi's face is distorted, can it be delicious?But Chengcai was still chewing. He said it wasn't tasty, but you'd better eat it.You are very lucky, you can eat them when you wake up, and I am chewing while remembering what they were like when they were alive.Finally, Wu Liuyi frowned and said: I can't eat any more, I'm going to throw up if I eat another one.These are all yours. Enduring the numbness of his scalp, Xu Sanduo picked it up with a bayonet, but dared not move. Wu Liuyi cut another piece and threw it into his mouth. Gan Xiaoning was still shaking his head desperately, asking if he should eat this? Wu Liuyi squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun. He said that I don't know if it's worth it, but I know that if I don't eat, no one will be able to survive today. Cheng Cai had almost the same expression as Gan Xiaoning: You really want to win that much? Wu Liuyi looked at him: What are you doing here if you don't want to win?This is not a drill, this is elimination.If you don't eat, your physical strength can't keep up, you will be eliminated, but I will win. Xu Sanduo finally got the courage to cut off a piece of meat and looked at it. Wu Liuyi looked at him encouragingly. Xu Sanduo also looked at him, and the eyes of the two seemed to be competing. Want me to say, take a bite for Dad?Wu Liuyi smiled teasingly. Xu Sanduo finally threw the meat into his mouth, closed his eyes, straightened his neck, and swallowed. You have to chew to get your mouth used to the taste.Wu Liuyi said. I started chewing on this bite.Xu Sanduo put another piece into his mouth.He said I'll go to shoot gerbils next time, so you don't feel sick when you think about it.Seeing that Xu Sanduo ate it, Chengcai and the others also picked up their knives and began to eat.Only Gan Xiaoning was still hesitating. He said: I still don't eat. As soon as one soldier put the first bite of meat in his mouth, he couldn't help covering his mouth and ran away to vomit. But Wu Liuyi chewed hard, he said that you couldn't hold on to the end.we can. Several high-speed motor vehicles were driving fast on the grassland. The Armored Reconnaissance Battalion in Goseong started their work again. Xu Sanduo and his group rushed across an unobstructed flat ground at a speed almost no less than that of a vehicle, and plunged into a ditch.A car drove past tens of meters away from them, and several people lowered their bodies tightly.Xu Sanduo lay beside Gan Xiaoning. Gan Xiaoning was sweating profusely, staring at a grasshopper on the blade of grass in a daze. He said that it would be great if you were born fried?Bring your own salt and pepper and pop it into my mouth. Xu Sanduo warned in a low voice: Be careful, don't make trouble. Gan Xiaoning sighed and said: I'm hungry!There are gold stars in front of my eyes. Xu Sanduo hesitated for a moment, and said wait a minute, I have something to eat here. This sentence made the surrounding ears prick up involuntarily. Gan Xiaoning smiled proudly: My good monitor, I knew you didn't eat that luncheon meat. Wu Liuyi was right, you took his share and his opportunity. Gan Xiaoning said who ate him?What's the use of a luncheon meat?I have a big appetite, so I made a bet with Bai Tiejun that time, I would kill nine big meat buns.Alas, Lao Bai has been honorably discharged from the army, and now he must be eating hot and spicy food.Wu Liuyi got a little angry, he said that if you keep nagging me, I will eat dirt for you! Gan Xiaoning said what are we planning?It’s almost the 21st century, and I’m still starving here, and I’m still in love with someone. Wu Liuyi was annoyed, he said that if you think it's not worth it, you can leave! Everyone was a little bit emotional, but also a little sad, lying motionless in the soil nest. Finally met a small ditch.A few people lay down by the ditch, drinking wildly without distinction.Only Gan Xiaoning doesn't drink.When Wu Liuyi was filling the kettle, Xu Sanduo pushed Gan Xiaoning.Gan Xiaoning didn't come over. He said I don't want it, I really don't want it. You can't eat that stuff, there's no shame in it, and neither can I. I eat the meat you saved?I might as well eat my own flesh! Before Gan Xiaoning finished speaking, he suddenly dodged and pushed Xu Sanduo away. Gunshots followed. Those were the two secret whistles sent by Yuan Lang.Xu Sanduo escaped a shot by chance.Wu Liuyi turned over on the spot, and the machine gun swept like a torrential rain.Chengcai's sniper rifle also searched nervously, hitting the opponent so hard that he dared not show his face. retreat!retreat!Xu Sanduo greeted him. Everyone knew that what followed was the highly mobile firepower of the armored reconnaissance battalion, and there was no chance of escape. Gan Xiaoning held his gun to cover behind, and a group of people rushed up the river ditch and fled into the depression.The motor vehicle that just drove past has already heard the sound.Gan Xiaoning stood on the driveway and shot the machine gunner into smoke.Xu Sanduo saw Gan Xiaoning shooting at the high-speed motor vehicle without any concealment, and was finally targeted by the old A who rushed out from the diagonal stab. Gan Xiaoning!run!run!Xu Sanduo shouted. But Old A had already pulled the trigger and accurately hit the laser mark on Gan Xiaoning's helmet. Wu Liuyi kicked Xu Sanduo, and several of them ran away. Gan Xiaoning, who was emitting white smoke, stood still, like a beacon tower. He smiled helplessly, bitterly, and rascally. He asked those old A's who were walking towards him: Is there anything to eat? After running through many ditches and ridges, Xu Sanduo and the others were finally able to hide in the crevices of the rocks.Everyone was sweating and panting, but they kept aiming their guns at the old A who came by. Gan Xiaoning is lost!Xu Sanduo said to Wu Liuyi. Wu Liuyi was a little annoyed, he said I know! Xu Sanduo said: I was eliminated! Wu Liuyi said: Don't talk about him! Xu Sanduo felt heartache, he said why?He can run away! Wu Liuyi said: He did it on purpose! Xu Sanduo said: I don't understand! Chengcai's tone on the side was very calm, he said he couldn't afford to be hungry!He doesn't want to go hungry!He gave up!He doesn't even know why people live!Xu Sanduo glared at him, and he said I don't believe it!Xiao Ning is not this kind of person! Several people were a little distraught and yelled desperately.Finally seeing no one on the way, Wu Liuyi put down his machine gun, took a breath and said, "Xu Sanduo, don't you know why?" Xu Sanduo said that I knew it, but I just didn't believe it! what do you know?Chengcai is still calm and disdainful just now. Xu Sanduo glanced at him again, closed the bolt, and said that it was not like what you said anyway. Several people climbed up from behind the rock, panting and walked towards the established direction. Chengcai was still asking: Xu Sanduo, what do you guys know? Wu Liuyi glanced at Cheng Cai: Do you want me to tell you?He can't afford to be hungry, he can't eat mice, he's weak-willed, yes, but he also knows he can't stand it anymore, he doesn't want to drag us down, that's right. Xu Sanduo was extremely frustrated: he didn't want to eat that can of luncheon meat, he was afraid that he couldn't help but eat it, he was afraid that he would take away my chance... In fact, I can eat anything!How can he be so stupid? Cheng Cai was noncommittal, he said, he is not so good, let me tell you. He's not that bad!I tell you too!Xu Sanduo turned around and left. Wu Liuyi looked at Chengcai and said softly: He is your comrade in arms.You know what I mean. Chengcai stopped talking.The silent and despondent squad moved on. On the other side of the grassland, Gan Xiaoning was sitting in the car without looking up, eating the few field rations given to him unceremoniously, so hungry that he almost ate the packaging bags.He ate and ate, and shouted to them: "Water." A soldier with lingering smoke on his head handed him the water bottle and praised: Brother, you are really accurate.How did you practice? Gan Xiaoning said: Hands, eyes and heart.Is there any bread? The soldier gave him another piece of bread sympathetically, and put a sausage in it: Brother, I am sorry for you. Gan Xiaoning tore off half of the bread in one gulp, chewed, and absent-mindedly watched the direction in which the comrades who were getting further and further away behind the car were fleeing.One of his hands silently beckoned there. Everyone knew what his heart was saying silently. As dusk fell, the remaining few were still trekking hard on the grassland.The formation has changed, now there are two carrying one, and the remaining three are guarding the front and back.The soldier being held was the soldier who ate and vomited out in the morning, and the people holding him were Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi.The soldier nearly collapsed, his legs dragged feebly across the blades of grass.There is still an endless wilderness on all sides, and several people seem to be surrounded by the wilderness. The soldier looked at the compass and asked, "Have you left more than half?" Chengcai looked at the distant horizon and said: If the direction is correct, it is almost the same. Xu Sanduo had been taking care of the unconscious soldier, he glanced at Wu Liuyi, Wu Liuyi nodded helplessly, and the two finally put the soldier down. Xu Sanduo said worriedly: "This can't go on like this." Wu Liuyi took a closer look: he was already dying, and if he dragged on, he would become severely dehydrated, and he would not be able to be rescued. The soldier struggled on the ground, shaking his head vigorously.Xu Sanduo suddenly took off his field backpack and fumbled for something in it. Chengcai grabbed Xu Sanduo's hand: Your little food can't save him, you better keep it to yourself. Wu Liuyi still couldn't bear it, he said, can we make the decision for him? You know he can't take it anymore!Chengcai yelled angrily: I'm bothering you!Do you know what your name is?How do you say that word?Silence!The kindness of women!We are soldiers!do you know?make a prompt decision!how?Do you want to hold a meeting to discuss it? Several people looked at him, their eyes were not disgusted, on the contrary, what Chengcai said hit their point, they were too hard on the outside, but too soft on the inside. You dare not, are you sorry?I come!Anyway, I am not a good person in your eyes!Selfish, thinking only of himself.OK, I can afford it, here I come!You don't need to be ashamed, I will solve the problem for myself.Chengcai looked at the soldier and said quietly: "Help him solve the problem, and help you solve the problem too!" Wu Liuyi gritted her teeth: You are right, I am wrong. Xu Sanduo hesitated, not knowing what to say. Chengcai is right.Wu Liuyi smiled wryly: Chengcai, it was you who helped us, I'm a little weak, I can't do it. Wu Liuyi pulled Xu Sanduo, turned around and walked away.The soldier patted Chengcai on the shoulder and followed silently.Cheng Cai took out the flare gun on his body, looked at the few people who had gone away, and looked at the vast twilight on the grassland.Then he pulled the trigger, and a yellow flare roared into the sky.Cheng Cai glanced at the soldier again, put the flare gun beside him, turned around and ran away. The signal flare radiated light in the sky and fell slowly. Soon, a car drove over, and the people in the car quickly found the soldier on the ground.The field life-saving equipment is carried with you, and the ambulance personnel started to rescue on the spot.The soldier was carried into the car by the medics on a stretcher. There were only five soldiers left, and they crouched in the grass, watching the vehicle going away.Wu Liu said to Cheng Cai who was lying beside him: Are you using your own flare gun?Chengcai's head seemed to be bang, and he said yes.Xu Sanduo said, what should you do?Chengcai had no choice but to say that I didn't need it. Chengcai said: I will never give up. Wu Liuyi suddenly said: "For the first time, I probably admire you a little bit." Chengcai looked at him puzzled and said: Don't talk around the corner. Wu Liuyi said that there was no detour.I have been a soldier for five years, and there are only three soldiers I admire. The first one is my old squad leader Shi Jin, and the second one is Xu Sanduo who is on the side of Wu Liuyi. Nunuzui: He, the third one is you just now. Chengcai gave him a puzzled look again, he probably will never understand what kind of person Wu Liuyi is. The surrounding terrain is the rolling low hills on the prairie, and several people are trying to find a direction on the compass.However, there were no stars at all, and it was a lost night at all. I think it should be nine o'clock.Xu Sanduo said.He is firm. Another soldier was also very firm. He said that I still think that twelve o'clock is the right direction. Chengcai became anxious immediately, and he said that you should be careful, this place is almost dozens of kilometers away, and there is no time to turn back if you make a mistake. The soldier retorted: There is no reference at all!Who doesn't speak from their intuition? The hope of becoming a talent is placed on Xu Sanduo, what about you? Xu Sanduo said: I also rely on intuition. Cheng Cai stomped his feet angrily and said: Who trusts whose intuition?I still think it's eleven o'clock! What to do?Wu Liuyi's words silenced several people. The soldier put away the compass, and he said I knew it was twelve o'clock. Immediately a fellow traveler stood by his side.Wu Liuyi looked at Xu Sanduo.Xu Sanduo didn't speak, but shook his head. Without saying a word, Wu Liuyi said to Xu Sanduo: I'll go with you. Chengcai, who could not make up his mind, decided on Xu Sanduo again: Where are you going? Xu Sanduo was still pointing in the direction of nine o'clock: That! Xu Sanduo, think clearly!Isn't this a split?Chengcai lost his temper. I think that's right there.Xu Sanduo said firmly. Cheng Cai looks at this and then at that.Wu Liuyi just asked him: Chengcai, who do you go with? Chengcai let out a long breath, and he said that I will leave at twelve o'clock. I think eleven o'clock is right, at least not too far away. The two soldiers looked at Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi, and said sorry, brother. fine.Xu Sanduo replied without hesitation.He said that my monitor said that when you get lost, keep a clear head and trust your intuition.The soldier showed approval because of this, and he said: The soldiers of the old seventh company are decent, I have seen it this time.But he didn't change his direction because of it.They gave a simple military salute and walked away. The night on the prairie is really dark. In an instant, they were plunged into darkness. Chengcai took one last look at Xu Sanduo, then at the two figures who were no longer visible in the darkness, and said Xu Sanduo, you are wrong, you must be wrong.Xu Sanduo didn't speak.Cheng Cai didn't wait for him to speak, he turned around and chased after the two of them. Wu Liuyi raised his machine gun and said to Xu Sanduo: Let's go too. Xu Sanduo saw that Chengcai's figure was gone all the time, so he followed Wu Liuyi to his own. Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi trudged on the grass with one deep foot and one shallow foot. The surrounding area seemed extremely quiet. Wu Liuyi suddenly asked: Xu Sanduo, are you sure? Xu Sanduo said: No. Wu Liuyi suddenly smiled wryly. He said, actually, I think it would be better to leave at eleven o'clock. Xu Sanduo let out an oh, a little surprised. But you must still walk in the direction of nine o'clock, alone, don't you? I will. We have been comparing each other for several years. If you lose, I will lose with confidence. Let's go together. Xu Sanduo shook his head.Wu Liuyi smiled, a little embarrassed. He said: It doesn't mean that the blessings and the sufferings are the same, that's quite silly. But that's what you mean, that's why we've been walking together.Xu Sanduo said. Wu Liuyi started to fight haha, saying yes?Yeah? Xu Sanduo said, Vice President Wu, in your eyes, I'm always that new recruit, right?Veterans and recruits are comrades-in-arms, but not friends, because recruits are not sensible. You still think of yourself as a recruit? You treat me as a recruit, who let you watch me grow up.We are fellow villagers again, you don't want to talk about fellow villagers seeing fellow villagers or something, you just want to be your soldier without leaking. Is it watertight?That's hard. Xu Sanduo nodded and said: It is very difficult. The two were silent for a while, and then walked for a while. For some reason, Wu Liuyi suddenly felt a little sentimental again. He said that we are not friends, and after this trip, maybe we will really become friends. Why do you keep saying that?In fact, they became friends when they were competing against each other in the seventh steel company.Xu Sanduo said.Xu Sanduo's tone was very gentle, but also very firm. A night patrol motor vehicle drove by, and the two quickly fell into the grass. Suddenly, someone crept over behind him, and before he could get a foothold, he was thrown down by Wu Liuyi.Xu Sanduo's gun also quickly hit his helmet. 竟然是成才！他小声地叫着：是我！I…… 许三多伸手便掩住了他的嘴，一直到前边的车很快地走远。 伍六一警觉地张望着：越来越紧了，现在已经派上夜哨了。你怎么又回来了？ 成才很有些难堪地笑了笑：想想还是咱们一起比较好，三个老乡。 许三多伸手将他拉了起来。 三个人，成才在前，许三多在中间，伍六一断后。机警地往前行进。
