Chapter 229: Forcibly Crossing the Jiaolai River (The First Subscription Broke Out for Three Days in a Row)
Lei Jian felt sorry for the soldiers, but this is a time of war, bloodshed and sacrifice are fearless, can it really make this cold river water frighten the soldiers who kill the enemy bravely and are not afraid of death?
He didn't have time to do too much ideological work, so he had to whisper to the soldiers: "Don't be afraid, the more afraid you are of the cold, the more you will be trembling, select a few fighters with good water nature for a while, and do a few exercises with me, I dare to promise that I will not be cramped all over my body when I go down to the cold river." ”
Lei Jian stood alone in a row of selected fighters, he said a few words, and began to lead the fighters to do push-ups, hugging their shoulders and jumping legs, bending back and forth, rubbing each other's limbs, and doing half an hour of intense exercise, the fighters began to get a little wet.
Li Gang said in a low voice: "Battalion Commander Lei, it's almost, right?" ”
Lei Jian nodded in the dark shadow and asked rhetorically, "Brothers, how is it, I feel much more relaxed physically and mentally now, right?" Well, watching my launch, every soldier must protect his clothes from being soaked in the river water, and ensure that his weapons and ammunition can be fired at any time. ”
As he spoke, he took off all his clothes, wrapped his weapon in his clothes, packed it into a sturdy package, and put it on his head to go into the water.
Li Gang hurriedly grabbed the Thunder Sword and shouted in a low voice: "Battalion Commander Lei, the burns on your body are not yet good, once you are soaked in the cold river water, you will be in trouble." ”
He snatched the clothes that the thunder sword held in his arms, and said as he dragged them up the embankment: "You don't have to rush to the front in everything, just make a demonstration, and I will take the soldiers over." ”
Lei Jian pushed Li Gang away, and said angrily: "If I don't take the lead, who will take the lead?" The soldiers were already timid in their hearts, and when they saw that I dared to go into the water, their courage became stronger, and besides, you should also go with me, and act quickly. ”
He said to the soldiers who had been selected to swim to the other side of the Jiaolai River: "Brothers, take courage and swim quickly into the water, and soon reach the other side. ”
Lei Jian said, began to try to break through the river ice on the bank, in the night in the wilderness, the sound of breaking the ice ballast, heard far away, if it was not for the place to choose to launch a little farther away from the Jiaolai Bridge, I am afraid that it would have been heard by the enemy puppet army guarding the bridge.
The icy river stimulated the body at low temperatures, and the cold made Lei Jian's whole body tremble, and his feet were unstable and he stumbled backwards, almost falling on the embankment.
Li Gang held behind him and asked in a low voice, "Battalion Commander Lei, the water is cold, right?" ”
Lei Jian didn't know how to answer, in order to relieve the embarrassment of the soldiers, he gritted his teeth and walked into the river step by step, when the water flooded to the lower abdomen, Lei Jian suddenly felt a spasm all over his body, and he was so cold that he was about to retreat as soon as he retreated.
Li Gang, who was following behind, grabbed the thunder sword and scolded very unceremoniously for the first time: "Nima is sick in her body, and her brain is also sick?" I know that I am injured, and I am still so reckless, I don't believe it, without you leading the team, I won't be able to complete the task, hurry up and go back. ”
Lei Jian shook off Li Gang violently, threw his body forward, raised the package of weapons, ammunition and clothes and pants with both hands, and quickly rushed into the river.
The ice ballast around him was pulling the flesh, and some places were cut and bleeding, but at this time, the body that was numb by the cold river water was already unconscious, and even the limbs began to slowly become stiff.
Lei Jian didn't dare to turn back, he had to rush to the front, set an example for the soldiers, sometimes, the urgent action of a unit commander will drive the people behind him to muster up courage, follow the people in front of him to grit their teeth and persevere, believing that they will reach the other side of expectations.
Under the leadership of Lei Jian and Li Gang, the soldiers bravely walked into the water, and more than 20 human heads surged in the Jiaolai River in the night, and their numb limbs fought against the cold river water, making a loud 'bang, bang' sound, which came far away, far away.
Suddenly the wind on the river surface, the river was stirred by the strong wind, the white waves, rows of river waves, split their heads and covered their faces to the soldiers swimming in the middle of the river, some of the soldiers were not very good in water, several waves of river waves smashed down, and then did not expose the river surface.
Lei Jian held the package on his head tightly with both hands, and his numb legs swam quickly in the river, he couldn't see how many soldiers were following behind him, so he had to hurry up, exert his leg strength, and swim as fast as possible, striving to get to the shore as quickly as possible, and rescue the soldiers in the water.
The river was stirred by the strong wind as if it was surging, and the waves of the river rose one after another, and Lei Jian, who swam to the shore, immediately turned around and opened the eyes of the boss to look for the warriors in the river.
But all he saw was two or three soldiers following behind him, and then climbed ashore, and even Li Gang disappeared.
Lei Jian trembled and shouted in a low voice: "Quickly put your clothes, weapons and ammunition on the embankment that is not wet, and be ready to rescue at any time." ”
A soldier suddenly shouted: "Battalion Commander Lei, look at that, that black dot is not a human head, like, as if it is swimming towards the shore." ”
Lei Jian whispered to the soldiers who swam over: "Push harder, there are five or six meters more to the shore." ”
The soldiers who swam to the shore quickly were not at all strong because of the cold and numbness, and they tried to get to the shore several times, but they were beaten back by the river waves.
Thunder Sword rushed into the water, and with great difficulty he approached the warrior, and it took a great deal of effort to pull the warrior to the shore.
The fighters who went ashore put on their clothes, stood on the shore and moved their bodies, and immediately rescued the fighters who were on the shore as soon as they found them.
Lei Jian didn't dare to wear clothes, once he put on dry clothes, he suddenly found that the soldiers near the shore were in danger, and he had to rush into the water to rescue, once there were no dry clothes to wear, when the soldiers were all on the shore, wearing wet clothes that had frozen into ice, there was no need to fight to kill the little devils, and they would soon freeze to death.
Almost half an hour had passed, and Li Gang and the seven soldiers had not yet reached the west bank of the Jiaolai River, when the anxious Lei Jian shouted at the roaring river: "Li Gang, where are you, swim to the shore quickly." ”
The wind blew away the shouts of the thunder sword and the soldiers, but there was still no shadow of Li Gang and them.
Li Gang was originally following closely behind Lei Jian, wanting to protect the burns of his entire body in front of him, and Lei Jian, the brother of life and death who was not yet well, but he didn't expect that the wind suddenly rose, the river flooded, and a wave hit, and when he poked out of the water again, he found a soldier struggling in the water and rushing downstream, Li Gang didn't care about the guns, ammunition and clothes raised above his head in his hand, and his body slammed into the soldier who was washed away.
The warrior struggled in the water for a while, never showing his head again, Li Gang cried and searched downstream for a while, he knew that the chance of this warrior surviving was very small, and he had to swim quickly to the opposite shore.
Li Gang finally swam to the west bank of the Jiaolai River, and when he climbed ashore, he was blown by the cold northwest wind, which made him retract into the water.
Time waited for no one, Li Gang couldn't soak in the cold river water, so he had to climb ashore naked, hugged his upper body tightly with his arms, and ran upstream along the embankment with bare feet.
On the way, I met a few soldiers without a thread, one by one, who were so cold that they were lying on their backs, and they were also approaching the upper reaches of the embankment.
Lei Jian saw a dozen warriors standing naked by the cold river, and he took off his clothes and draped them over the weaker warriors.
It has been nearly an hour since the soldiers went into the water to cross the Jiaolai River and reached the embankment on the west bank, at this time there are only seventeen soldiers standing here, and several other soldiers have been taken away by the roaring river, they did not die on the battlefield, in order to complete this special task, they actually dedicated themselves to the Jiaolai River, they are brave, and they are immortal warriors who have left a name for themselves on the battlefield of killing devils.
Lei Jian looked at these seventeen warriors, most of them were without a trace, and even the weapons and ammunition had been completely lost in the life-and-death struggle with the roaring Jiaolai River.
Now how can such a team fight with the enemy puppet army guarding the bridgehead west of the Jiaolai River? How to outwit the East Bridgehead and receive the three battalions to escort important people and cross the bridge with gold?
Lei Jian couldn't wait, he said self-deprecatingly: "Brothers, our current army, it is better to call Hanako, now we must find clothes to wear on our bodies to keep warm, otherwise we will really freeze." ”
In the eyes of others, there are patients with nerves who are simply naked running, but they are not, they are heroes who kill the enemy, in order to win the Anti-Japanese War, in order to open up the passage in the advance, in the cold strength of the Jiaolai River, they braved the biting cold wind, and quickly touched the bridgehead of the Jiaolai Bridge occupied by the enemy puppet army.
