When a cold wind blew in the capital.
As far away as the westernmost high-altitude areas, heavy snow has fallen like goose feathers.
If in summer and autumn, they are greeted by oil paintings with full colors, then when winter comes, they have to face the biting cold wind and the huge temperature difference between morning and evening.
This is the most difficult road Li Xuewu has walked throughout his life.
The road from east to west to Ganoderma lucidum is still a well-built road. It is just transportation difficulties caused by terrain problems.
But hundreds of kilometers further west from Ganoderma lucidum, there is no way out. Although the terrain has become flat, we are faced with water nets and swamps.
If it weren’t for the directional signs and deep ruts along the way, Li Xuewu himself would have doubted whether he had run to the wrong place.
Taking out the compass given to him by Staff Officer Lei, Li Xuewu had to look at the direction from time to time, because even the rut marks were mostly covered up by the heavy snow.
The snow-capped scenery is beautiful, but if you look at it for a long time, your eyes will only feel a deep sting, and tears will flow down involuntarily.
"Fuck, I'm stuck again"
After a bump, the car tilted to the right rear. The cab was obviously lifted up. I stepped on the accelerator a few times. Just hearing the roar of the engine, and the mud thrown by the tires hitting the floor of the rear compartment, Li Xuewu cursed secretly and hit the steering wheel with his fist.
"Well, this world is like this. You can't catch up anyway, so take your time."
Qiu, the squad leader on the side, twisted his neck, opened the car door, and faced A few shots were fired in the empty field outside.
The sharp sound of gunshots resounded on the plains, coupled with the pungent smell of gunpowder. After hearing this sound, the hungry wolves consciously left far away. This is the simplest and most effective way. expulsion method.
Even Hai Dongqing, who was soaring in the sky, was in sight, flying further and further away.
The old squad leader unloaded the sleepers under the carriage with such skill that it made people feel distressed. Seeing the rear wheels sink deeply into the mud pit, his Adam's apple rolled.
After the white snow was mixed with mud and sewage, it became dirty. Tightening his collar, the old squad leader picked up the shovel behind the cab and started digging.
Li Xuewu, who was in the cab, also got out of the car. He leaned on the open door and looked around. There was not even a stone in this place, let alone a tree. He gave up instantly. He was looking for a place to hang the hinge.
Just when I was about to take out the car key, I remembered the company commander’s instructions: Never turn off the engine in the wilderness, especially when you are on top. Don’t worry about wasting fuel, because once you turn off the engine, it will be difficult to turn it on again. .
Picking up the 56 punch on the door panel and carrying it on his back, Li Xuewu pressed the cotton hat on his head with one hand and jumped out of the cab.
To the rear right, the old squad leader was already half-kneeling on the ground and started cursing.
After spending a long time shoveling the snow under the wheels, why?I feel like the more I shovel, the more I shovel, and my mentality explodes.
"You can't just put sleepers on it."
Looking at the turbid water, my brows knitted together. I guess the car in front of me had sunk in before, so that was the reason for this pit. Can't climb out.
The two people worked together to slightly flatten the front of the right rear wheel, then put down the sleepers and spread some stones to increase friction, and then the car was rescued. come out.
The sweater inside was already soaked. This happened not once or twice. The two young men, who were exhausted, finally collapsed in the cab.
"Damn it, how far is it? I'm going to die on this road."
Squad leader Qiu wiped the smoky head and pressed it with trembling hands. The iron plate under the cab facing the front of the car warms the heat transmitted from the engine to the hands that are red from the cold.
Li Xuewu also rubbed his hands. At this time, he missed the woolen gloves that his mother knitted for him at home. Although they were a bit ugly, they had been with him in several cold winter classrooms, and these hands were no longer Never had frostbite.
Taking the map and doing some calculations, Li Xuewu said in a deep voice, "We have just crossed two large lakes. It is estimated that there are still more than 200 kilometers to Ali."
For several days in a row The young man couldn't stand the running around at this time. It was too painful. When he was learning to drive in a driving school, it was really like going up to the sky and down to the earth.
"No, I'll eat a sweet potato first"
"Give me one too"
I wiped the mud splashed on my body with a rag, my beard was unshaven Li Xuewu's eyes lit up and he licked his peeling lips.
At this time, roasted sweet potatoes are the best way to warm your hands. I don’t know who invented it. At the corner of the engine room, in an out-of-the-way place, taro or sweet potatoes can be placed as far away as possible. Over time, this thing will naturally be cooked by the heat emitted by the engine, and it will be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which is much more enjoyable than eating steamed buns.
Qiu, the squad leader who got off the car, put the sweet potatoes wrapped in cloth on the passenger seat with his left hand and his right hand. After opening it, he rubbed his ears and threw one to Li Xuewu. Took one.
Then the two people peeled off the skin and started to feast on it. Even though it was so hot that they grinned, the sweetness really whetted their appetites.
"It would be nice if I could stuff more of them there"
Monitor Qiu obviously didn't eat enough. His tongue licked the sweet potato skin until it was as thin as cicada wings, and it was almost close to it. It's transparent, and there's no trace of sweet potato meat on it. It feels clean when you eat it.
Li Xuewu did the same thing here. He licked his fingers and then wiped his hands randomly. At this time, his hands became warm.
"Come on, come on, let's stuff two more. Captain Qiu, you have worked hard all the way, and the next trip will be cooked. I'll give it to you to eat."
From the sack under the seat, I touched it again Li Xuewu handed over two big sweet potatoes, feeling a little embarrassed. He originally had a lot of work to do, but Squad Leader Qiu took it away from him., just now, I was covered in mud and water, not as much as Squad Leader Qiu.
"Are you so polite? You are the one driving this whole way. I am the one riding in the car. If I don't do some work, I will have nothing to do. It's two hundred kilometers. Is there a military station in the middle?"
After putting the sweet potatoes back into the engine compartment and closing the lid, Squad Leader Qiu waved his hand and said politely.
"No, let's drive it at once. There should be hot water when we get there."
The thermos bottle strapped to the seat behind me is already empty. It's just a kettle. There are still some left, but these were not picked up at the military depot.
Instead, stuff the snow into the kettle and melt it with body temperature. The taste is not good, but it can quench your thirst at critical times. Don't drink it if it is too cold, otherwise you will have diarrhea and your legs will become weak.
These are all survival skills that Li Xuewu learned from the old squad leaders in the car company after he came up. Yes, everything is made from local materials, whatever is convenient.
In fact, the oil in the trunk can still boil water if you pump it a little, but as the saying goes.
The carpenter’s house has no bench, the tailor has no new clothes, the oil seller has water to comb her hair, and the bamboo maker’s house is exposed to the sun, precisely because he knows how difficult it is to transport supplies, especially here in the west.
If you waste one liter here, you may have to waste ten or even twenty liters later.
Amidst the rumbling noise, the vehicle continued to go west. Not far further, it was about to go north, more than two hundred kilometers away. As expected, about ten hours later, at night, will arrive at the final destination.
In terms of hard work, it is indeed harder for Li Xuewu. Not to mention his swollen right leg when he stepped on the accelerator and brakes, his two arms alone weighed more than a thousand pounds. He had to brace himself and watch the road. , depending on the direction, it can be said that it is really a torture both mentally and physically.
This is just exercise. Looking at Squad Leader Qiu who was swaying, holding a gun on his shoulder, and gradually falling asleep, Li Xuewu kept quiet.
The purpose of coming to the melting pot is not to make steel into steel. After the exercise in the east, I went down to rest for a while. The cars were connected to other people, but the people and cars kept spinning. They were on this road these days. , but I have walked through it several times.
Thinking of this, Li Xuewu's eyes became more determined. If he complained endlessly after one trip, he would lose the face of the men in the capital.
From early morning to dusk, from dawn to dusk, setting off under the stars and returning to camp in the dusk is the responsibility on his shoulders, and it is also what thousands of households and lights in the rear rely on for their survival. fundamental.
In the rickety cab, Li Xuewu's mind suddenly opened up at this moment, and he understood the deeper meaning of what Staff Officer Lei said to him.
Here, there is no place for being clever. Only by being down-to-earth and down-to-earth can we achieve great results.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Xuewu gritted his teeth tightly and got closer and closer to his destination. He seemed to have heard the sound on the other side of the snow-capped mountains.The roar of artillery fire was just like the scene I witnessed while standing on the top of the mountain a few days ago.
Approaching Ah Li, Li Xuewu saw the familiar big baby again on the muddy road in the distance.
"What's wrong? Is the car stuck?"
Looking at the big iron lump in front of him, Li Xuewu blew his air whistle, and the sleeping squad leader Qiu beside him also rubbed it Rubbing his eyes, he was woken up by the sudden opening of the car window and the cold wind that rushed in.
On the turret of the tank vehicle, the bright red five-pointed star is very close at hand, even closer than the previous few days.
Looking at the turret that was almost longer than a truck, Li Xuewu swallowed his saliva. He was a little envious, but he didn’t understand. Could these iron guys run faster than him? How could they get ahead? .
The tracks of the tank car sunk deeply into the mud on the side. Viewed from the rear, the chassis on the right side was already touching the ground and leaning to the side. If it weren't for the cover on the turret, it would still be intact. There was a person wearing a black hat, and Li Xuewu doubted whether it was an empty guy.
"Which part?"
The commander on the tank patted the cover, and the track gradually stopped, as if he gave up the struggle.
Li Xuewu stuck his head out of the car window and shouted, "You are from the car company of the xx regiment, do you want to help?"
Qiu, the squad leader on the side, also put his head next to the main driver's side. He leaned his head and looked to the left curiously.
"Let me borrow your sleepers first. You can't drag this car."
The commander on the turret put his hands on it and got out of the turret. When Li Xuewu and Squad Leader Qiu heard this, they also hurriedly got out of the car. Since they were all their comrades, there was no reason to turn a blind eye.
"When we came here, we were still with you. This thing can run so fast, and it's already ahead of us."
While taking off the sleepers under the carriage, Li Xuewu He said in a huffing voice.
"Oh, that should be our other subsequent battalions. Thank you. If it doesn't work, we are ready to abandon the car."
Looking at the bundles of small logs under the tracks, Li Xuewu Only then did it become clear that it wasn't that they didn't bring sleepers, but that they were used differently with cars.
Some of the small logs had their ropes broken and scattered, so the big guy sank deeper and deeper.
"It's already here, what a pity, I really gave up, how much fuel will it cost?"
Hearing this, Li Xuewu inserted more force into the sleeper, But no matter what, the tank was too heavy and the tracks didn't move at all.
"Second Lieutenant Han, I'm sorry, I guess it won't work."
At the front of the tank, the driver opened the roof panel above the driver's seat and tried it. However, the tracks were idling, and the tank was directly turned. The sleeper inserted in the front was swallowed to the bottom of the track, but the weight of the car still pressed the sleeper down.
Li Xuewu and Squad Leader Qiu stared at this scene with their mouths open. Their truck relied on the sleepers to go all the way. This was the first time they saw that when they could press the sleepers into the ground, they did not move at all.
"Try again."
Second Lieutenant Han had a bitter look on his face, as if he had gone through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships in his journey to the West, and finally arrived at the gate of Ximen Bliss. Looking at the gate so close, he was just a step away. I kicked them, but I couldn't push them away.
"There were only five cars in total, and Lao Hua and Gou Zi laid down one after another. I thought I was lucky, and I was able to catch up and let go. The gun, I didn’t expect it to be broken here.”
Two more people crawled out of the tank’s turret one after another. They looked helplessly at the scene in front of them, and one of them said angrily.
< p>"You're the only one who has eaten any chicken shit. You can't even hit the target when you come up." The other one, who must be the second gunner, glanced at the first gunner with a regretful look on his face and muttered. < /p>"You can still blame me, td. Not only is there something wrong with the engine, but there is also something wrong with the turret. The top here is really different from the one below." The first gunner scratched his head and argued to himself with a tigerish face, "This is good." The car got stuck, and the reputation of my missed shot will never be wiped clean.
"Don't find any other reasons for your missed shot. If your eyes are lame, I will definitely be better than you." You can shoot accurately."
"Okay, old cow, stop arguing."
Second Lieutenant Han couldn't bear it anymore. The two of them yelled all the way. The second gunner kept trying to usurp the throne. , squeezing the first gunner out, but now the car can no longer reach its destination, and I feel annoyed.
The two outsiders, Li Xuewu and Squad Leader Qiu, looked at each other, looking at them here. , when the matter came to an end, there was still a dispute, and I wanted to laugh but had to hold it in.
"It seems like an order has come, Second Lieutenant Han, please listen."
I didn't get off the front of the tank. The driver put his right hand to his ear and patted the car board.
Second Lieutenant Han's expression changed, and he took three steps at a time and rushed into the turret. He didn't know where to touch it. He put on an earmuff and fastened it on his forehead.
"Abandon the car, abandon the car, and go to the north with their car. The traffic has already started there."
Not even two minutes passed. , Second Lieutenant Han emerged from the turret again, closed the cover, and greeted the driver directly.
"Yes." The expressions of the entire tank team changed, knowing that this order meant something. What.
"It's started." When Squad Leader Qiu heard this, his expression suddenly became tense. Only Li Xuewu was still confused.
"Go, go quickly, don't." Stop, let’s go to the front line for the exercise. The battalion commander has captured the Blue Army’s tank for us, the Eagle 3. Throw this thing away first. We won’t even be able to drink the soup when we get there.” Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft can be read for free.
