The sound of the Americans' machine guns grew further and further away. This was not because the Americans' machine guns were moving, but because Company Commander Wei Jianjun was leading his troops away quickly. The Third Squad of the Third Platoon was quickly found. Out of the ten soldiers, five were shot. Two were heavily injured, two were lightly injured, and one had already been sacrificed. The three simple stretchers brought by the medical team that came with Wei Jianjun were immediately put to use. The troops supported the lightly wounded and carried the seriously wounded and the fallen comrades back to the lake.
Although Company Commander Wei Jianjun said to move along the shoal, there had to be a shoal first. The geological structure of the Five Great Lakes was not like a shoal to the masses. Just now, Wei Jianjun and the others were in a place that was rare in the Great Lakes region. It was a flat rocky beach with no cover. Now, as soon as the troops walked towards the lakeside, they immediately encountered rugged terrain and jagged rocks. Even though the night wind wasn't too strong and the lake water wasn't at the level of raging waves under the influence of the wind, the sound of the lake water slapping against the rocky shore wasn't small.
"Let's use our military coats to block the light first!" The accompanying military doctor ordered the group of soldiers.
The soldiers all took off their military coats with great obedience and used simple stretchers to create a temporary medical room in a sunken area. Even the company commander Wei Jianjun obediently took off his coat to cover the light from the military doctor's flashlight. No one dared to challenge the authority of a military doctor on the battlefield. If it was peacetime, everyone would still have the mood and time to chat with the military doctor for a while. At this moment, they were facing their comrades who had been shot. They were in great pain and bleeding profusely. This was a matter of life and death, so no one dared to make a sound.
Wei Jianjun had developed a meticulous style of doing things, but it wasn't because he was naturally cautious. In Wei Jianjun's memory, as long as he was not cautious enough and felt that nothing would go wrong, something would definitely go wrong. Wei Jianjun did not dare to relax at all as these experiences piled up again and again. Sure enough, after walking around the medical room, Wei Jianjun found a spot that was still leaking light. He immediately walked over and covered it with his military coat. Only when he was sure that everything was covered did he stop beside a rock by the lake.
Although it was not unnecessary to keep watch in such a dark sky, it was not necessary for the company commander to personally keep watch. However, the cries of a certain warrior in the simple treatment room made Wei Jianjun feel extremely uncomfortable. It was not an act, but a real sound of pain. The sound made Wei Jianjun restless. He would only feel more comfortable if he was far away.
At this moment, the Third Platoon Commander walked over. Perhaps he was a lot more relaxed at this time, the Third Platoon Commander said with some embarrassment, "Company Commander …"
Wei Jianjun immediately interrupted the Third Platoon Commander. "Third Platoon Commander, let's not walk by the lake on our way back. It seemed that they couldn't cross the lake. Let's wait for a while. We'll go around them from behind or through the gaps. "
"Ah?" The Third Platoon Leader was stunned. Wei Jianjun's choice was completely beyond his imagination.
"There's no way we can wade through the water with an injured person. The wound cannot be exposed to water. Even if we don't take the injured with us, I'm afraid we won't be able to swim. If that's the case, we might as well take the easiest path, "Wei Jianjun explained his thoughts.
"But …" The Third Platoon Commander seemed to be shocked by this suggestion. He could only say two words before he couldn't continue.
"Scared?" Wei Jianjun asked.
This sentence was like a stimulant that immediately energized the Third Platoon Commander. His voice immediately became excited. "Company Commander, I'm not afraid!"
With this plan in mind, Wei Jianjun immediately made arrangements. The Americans who had fiercely attacked the Third Platoon Commander did not intend to leave their position in the dark of the night to pursue them. This allowed the Third Platoon Commander to return to the place where they started. After the scout determined the communication line, he began to carry out reconnaissance on how to return. More than half an hour later, the scout brought back the latest information on the battlefield. The Americans had gathered on the large piece of flat land where the Second Company had retreated, but there were no troops on the shore of the lake. Therefore, if they bypassed the group of people, the Second Company could go north and find opportunities in places where the enemy would not expect.
After the decision was made, it was time to assemble the troops. At this time, the emergency medical treatment was also over. The military doctor walked to Wei Jianjun with a faint smell of blood and said in a tired voice, "The wounds of the lightly injured have been treated. One of the two seriously injured people can't be saved. The other has taken out the bullet and injected anesthetics. Be careful when you move them. They should be fine. "
"Thank you, doctor!" Wei Jianjun said from the bottom of his heart. Everyone was always very polite to those who could save their lives.
Just as the troops were about to set off, there was a sudden burst of gunfire in the distance. All the commanders and soldiers stopped in their tracks. The inexperienced ones looked nervous. They were quite surprised by the sudden outbreak of a large-scale battle. The more experienced ones looked solemn. They could hear that the place of the fierce battle was probably in the area of the battalion headquarters. The Third Platoon was now going to use the battalion headquarters as their end point of return.
It was also at this time that a spot of light rose into the sky at a not too fast speed. Unlike the signal flare, this spot of light was not red or green. It was emitting a silver-white light. It was like a silver-white star rising from the ground to the sky. After rising to a certain height, the star suddenly went out.
Wei Jianjun noticed this unusual movement. In addition to immediately raising his hand to cover his eyes, he immediately shouted to everyone around him, "Cover your eyes! Cover your eyes immediately! "
Most of the people who heard the order did so. The few who did not suddenly saw a bright star suddenly light up in the sky. The strong white light made those who tried to stare at it subconsciously close their eyes. And those who covered their eyes saw everything around them illuminated by a pale light. It was a light several times brighter than the brightest moonlight. It was the light released by the Liberation Army's flares.
In a flash, Wei Jianjun already had a new idea. He shouted to the Third Platoon commander, "Let the wounded and non-combatants stay here. We'll go back now and take down the stronghold you attacked."
The Third Platoon commander did not understand what was going on, but Wei Jianjun did not want to explain anything to this stubborn guy. Since the Liberation Army had used the flares, it was unrealistic for the Third Platoon to escape in the dark. The Liberation Army's uniforms and equipment were too different from the United States Federal Army's, and the enemy could see the problem from a distance.
At this time, the best way was to take advantage of the current situation and take down the enemy's position first. Then, they would use the enemy's position to hold out until dawn. After Wei Jianjun made his decision, he no longer thought about the feasibility of this decision. Without hesitation, he took the lead to take action with his rifle. After half a beat, the soldiers also followed the company commander and moved forward.
