Song Tiedan also begged: "Captain Lei, don't worry about us two bastards, you are a person who does great things, you can't sit here like this, if you don't leave here, I will kneel down for you again, when will you leave, when will I get up, otherwise I will keep kneeling." ”

"Something that is not promising, there is gold under the man's knees, kneeling on the ground in the world, kneeling in the middle of the parents, you kneel when you say kneel, your knees are so soft? If you can fight for a breath, write the inspection deeply, as long as I am satisfied, the three of us can go out, hum, if you don't write a good inspection, you want to go out, there is no door. ”

"It's really killing you, you're a big person, why don't you let go of this little thing? Isn't that a bit excessive? Song Tiedan continued to kneel and said.

"You two listen to me, if you don't deal with the problem of the three of us this time, once the cadres and soldiers of the independent regiment are like the two of you, they can't hold back their hearts, and they break into the barracks with guns, how will the team of the Eighth Route Army be brought in the future? If this is the case, my Lei Jian will not be the head of the independent regiment, and he will become the king of the mountain, you two say that the army has become like this, what will the people think of our team?

If the common people lose confidence in us, and the army and the people are not of the same mind, how can we defeat the little devils, have you thought about this clearly? ”

Lei Jian said very powerfully, Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan couldn't help but be shocked, and muttered unconvinced: "Commander, you are too good at scaring people, just if we commit such a trivial matter, can it affect the defeat of the little devil?" Lie to people. ”

Lei Jian shook his head in the night, and said in a fierce voice: "You two haven't realized the seriousness of this incident until now, then I have nothing to say, let's just stay here like this, and when the soldiers come back from killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, see that the three of us are like cowards who are afraid of death and dare not go to the battlefield, hiding in the 'confinement room' and not coming out, you two say, how can we be people in front of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment in the future?" ”

Qu Jiaming heard Lei Jian say this, and knew that this time the matter might be really big, he walked silently to the trunk of a tree that built a grass shed, and sat on the ground with his body sliding down the trunk, and began to think about what he was wrong.

The camp of the Independent Regiment was quiet again, and the troops had left the Peacock Valley and rushed to their respective areas of action according to the order issued by Lei Jian.

Wang Xiaoliang led a company of cavalry out of the valley, along the dirt road of the green gauze tent, cautiously searched forward, and only after walking out for about fifty or sixty miles did he order the soldiers to dismount.

He commanded the soldiers: "Don't make a disturbance with your horses, hide in the green gauze tent immediately, everyone should pay attention to the crops of the villagers, and don't spoil them." ”

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, at this time it should be around four o'clock in the morning, the sky has released gray and white, only in a few blinks of an eye, you can see the end of the eastern sky, the gray and white of the sky is slowly brightening, and soon the end of the day reveals the clues of the rising light, with the dawn of the sky, a round of sunrise erupts, with ten thousand rays of light shining on the whole earth.

The cadres and soldiers of the cavalry company hidden in the green gauze tent, looking at the rising sun, emitting dazzling light and heat, there was no wind in the sky, the air was like solidification, not flowing at all, and they slowly felt hot, and they felt even more stuffy in the green gauze tent.

Wang Xiaoliang said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone eat some dry food and drink some water, but we must keep the water in the pot, don't dare to waste it at all, let's not say that we should hide here until dark, under the sun, if the water is gone, we will die of thirst." ”

The soldiers paid close attention to the water in their pots, and whenever their mouths were dry, they would take the kettle to their mouths, take a small sip, and immediately and decisively throw the kettle behind them, not even daring to look at it, for fear of seeing the kettle, and drink the water in the kettle dry.

But just like that, every time I couldn't hold on to my thirst, I drank it little by little, and the water in the pot was decreasing little by little, and in the end I didn't dare to suck a small sip, so I could only moisten the spout close to my lips to relieve my thirst.

The sun has just passed noon, and some of the soldiers' kettles have been empty for dripping, and the soldiers are really thirsty, so they tear off a crop leaf, put it in their mouths and chew, but this kind of crop leaves, which are almost without water juice, have more mouths, not only can not be replenished with water, but are taken away by the chewed crop leaves, so they feel that there is no water in their mouths, and their thirst is unbearable.

Wang Xiaoliang knew that thirst was fatal, and from the beginning, he didn't dare to touch the water in the pot, even if he was dizzy and weak, he was still reluctant to take a sip.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, it seemed that the sun was a little more comfortable than the scorching sun at noon, but the taste of a large lack of water in the body became more and more unbearable.

Wang Xiaoliang asked whose kettle still had water, and the soldiers all shook their heads and said weakly: "Deputy Commander Wang, the kettle has long been dry, if you can have a little water, it would be good to moisten your lips." ”

Song Chun, the commander of the first company of the cavalry battalion, asked: "Deputy Commander Wang, we haven't found out about the enemy, we are always hiding in the stuffy green gauze tent, and we will suffocate the soldiers to death, why don't you send someone to fetch some water back?" ”

"No, before leaving, Commander Lei gave the most severe order, enter the ambush and hide place, and lie dormant in the green gauze tent during the day, once the target is exposed, I am afraid that we will be besieged by the enemy, at that time, not only will we be bitten by the devil's army, but also affect the success or failure of the entire Deshi Road raid."

Wang Xiaoliang's dry lips were oozing blood, he looked at the soldiers lying motionless in the crop field, one by one due to lack of water, they had no energy, he really wanted to contribute the water in his kettle, and asked the soldiers to moisten their mouths, but he knew that a pot of water, it was the turn of each soldier's mouth, and the last warrior was afraid that he would not even be able to share a drop, and besides, there were three hours left after dark, and these three hours were the most difficult.

The sun seemed to be setting very slowly, and the warriors looked up at the sun from time to time, hoping that the sun would set soon, and as soon as it was dark, they would be able to get out of the green gauze tent, find a source of water, and drink him to his heart's content.

Wang Xiaoliang looked at the sun and the figure was still high, and some of the soldiers were lying on the ground with their heads on the ground, motionless, as if they were asleep, he didn't know, the soldiers who were already highly dehydrated really encountered the enemy's situation, could they still get up and fight the enemy?

He really couldn't bear to let the soldiers stay up little by little like this, and he was afraid that some soldiers would die in the green gauze tent due to lack of water, resulting in non-combat attrition.

Wang Xiaoliang took off the kettle behind his back, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, looked at the tempting water in the kettle, and really wanted to tilt his neck and 'goo-goo......' to drink a booze to quench the thirst in his mouth and replenish the water that his body urgently needs.

His eyes moved to the spout, and he held the kettle in both hands, crawled to the thirsty warrior who was already unconscious, raised the warrior's head, passed the spout to the warrior's lips, and sent it into three small sips little by little, and then left.

In this way, Wang Xiaoliang sent this pot of water of life to the mouths of several soldiers who were close to coma, and asked these soldiers who were unable to breathe to drink a sip or two of water.

When Wang Xiaoliang walked to a warrior's side, raised the warrior's head, and handed the spout to his lips, the warrior subconsciously thought that he had found a water source, grabbed the kettle tightly in a coma, and suddenly stuffed the entire spout into his mouth.

Wang Xiaoliang hurriedly snatched the kettle out of the soldier's mouth, and when he saw the water droplets squirting out of the soldier's mouth, the two fighters next to him 'swished' up, caught the water droplets with both hands, and brought them to his lips.

The other fighters saw Wang Xiaoliang holding a pot of water and feeding it to each unconscious soldier, their chapped lips twitching, they thought that Wang Xiaoliang could give them a small sip, even if they moistened their lips, they were very content.

A soldier was really thirsty and couldn't stand it, he crawled to Wang Xiaoliang's side, and pleaded weakly: "Deputy Commander Wang, if you still have water, you can ......." ”

Song Chun, the commander of the first company of the cavalry battalion sitting on the side, said angrily: "The water that Deputy Regiment Commander Wang gave to the unconscious soldier is his own pot, have you seen it?" Deputy Regiment Commander Wang's lips were already chapped and bleeding, but he was reluctant to drink a mouthful, leaving it to the soldiers who couldn't hold on, everyone endured it a little longer, and for another two hours, as long as the sun went down the mountain and the night was dark, we would have water to drink. ”

People who have not experienced excessive thirst, do not know the severe lack of water in the body, the feeling of burning throat and eyes, cleft lip bleeding, and the body as if it has been drained.

Will anyone doubt that if you don't drink water for a day, you can be thirsty and unconscious, is it credible?
