Chapter 23: Blood-Weeping Sunset

"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
……
The explosives that had been planted long ago were like firecrackers set off during the festival; each time they went off, one iceberg collapsed, and one snow mountain after another went wild. Massive snow and large chunks of ice rolled down rapidly. When they reached the valley bottom, torrents collided, instantly forming a snowy barrier over forty meters high and stretching seven or eight kilometers in front of the icy valley—so much so that even wild goats hesitated!
"Sorry, our armored vehicles can't continue moving. Even if we march on foot, trying to cross this snowy terrain without any attacks, we probably still need to ...... Two hours! ”
Hearing the report from the commander of the mechanical regiment, Long Jianhui fell silent. He gazed at the waves of "holy war" fighters surging up at the foot of the mountain. He listened to the terrorists chanting their anthems nonstop, then looked at the Armed Police soldiers so exhausted they could barely hold their rifles, barely maintaining basic fighting spirit because reinforcements were about to arrive. Long Jianhui understood that their positional sniper battle had failed!
Not only the ordinary soldiers of the Armed Police force, but even the soldiers of the Fifth Special Forces led by Long Jianhui were exhausted. Not a single person could maintain their strength and fighting spirit after five hours of continuous bloody fighting.
After switching the communication channel, Long Jianhui whispered into the communicator, "Zhanxia Ge, come here for a moment!" ”
A figure covered in blood and wearing a bulletproof vest that was battered quickly appeared before Long Jianhui's eyes. Long Jianhui couldn't help but marvel again in his heart. It was precisely because of such unfathomable stamina that Zhanxiage could endure altitude sickness and, using a tool that was never handy, dig out the bodies of the two heroes from the icy mountain peak.
Long Jianhui said in a low voice, "Our reinforcements won't arrive within two hours. We must break out!" ”
Zhanxiage said nothing; at a time like this, he truly had nothing to say.
"As you can see, our Fifth Special Forces are doing better. After five hours of fierce fighting, at least eighteen people survived, and everyone still had enough strength and ammunition to carry out a breakout battle. But the police soldiers cooperating with us probably don't even have the strength to run down this hillside! But since I am the commander-in-chief of this joint operation, I cannot abandon these brothers who trust me and are willing to entrust their lives to me at a time like this! ”
龙建辉慢慢将自己军装上那只代表了第五特殊部队崇高身份的银制飞鹰勋章摘下来，他将这只银鹰勋章放到了战侠歌的手掌里。“你大概还不知道第五特殊部队的一个不成文的惯例吧，当一个学员能够同时获得山地、丛林、大地、雪原、勇气荣誉勋章的时候，他就已经有资格获得第五特殊部队见习班长的资格。”
"You're all sons of high-ranking officials, each with a good father." Long Jianhui smiled faintly, "If you join the regular army, promotion and wealth are just around the corner. For someone like you, who's been in the army for six years and truly stands out, you could at least get the rank of major and be on equal footing with me." In this situation, no matter how much our Fifth Special Forces assign you ranks, we cannot truly satisfy you. We can't expect even the communications officer to be a school-level officer when our unit sends out, right? So the Fifth Special Forces simply blocked all your chances of promotion and wealth, making each of you obediently be your own soldiers! ”
"And the squad leader chosen from among you doesn't mean you have the authority to manage eight or nine soldiers, but rather that you have been tested in real combat and possess the qualities and ability of an excellent commander!" The difference between squad leaders and ordinary soldiers in the Fifth Special Forces is that both squad leaders and instructors receive a Silver Eagle Medal! ”
Zhanxiage gazed at the silver eagle medal in his palm, repeatedly scorched by the flames and smoke of war, still carrying the silver's pristine whiteness and pride. In this world of bullets flying and wailing in the sky, he was truly captivated.
"Put it on. On the snowy mountain, in this war, everything proves that you have ample reason and qualification to have such honor and status!"
Long Jianhui said in a low voice, "According to the Fifth Special Forces' operational rules, on the battlefield, as the highest commander and instructor, I can, in the event of an assistant's death, temporarily select a temporary acting squad leader from among the best trainees under my command!" Now I have appointed you as my acting squad leader, and you will be responsible for leading all remaining personnel of the Fifth Special Forces in a breakout! Remember, when you wear this Silver Eagle medal, you are no longer living for yourself alone. You must believe in you for the entire unit, be willing to entrust your life to you, listen to you, and live alongside your brothers! ”
Zhanxiage suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably. Long Jianhui whispered the order, "No crying, this is an order!" ”
Zhanxiage gently sniffed his nose, and with his trembling, blood-stained, scarred hand, he pinned the Silver Eagle Medal—a symbol of pride, honor, and status—onto his collar. The sterling silver Eagle medal, paired with five brass bronze medals arranged in fine arrangements, looked indescribably beautiful and harmonious.
Zhan Xiagege gazed at Long Jianhui with longing, at his face as hard as marble, at his short hair barely an inch long, at the faint carefree smile at the corner of his mouth that still faintly appeared on the battlefield. Zhan Xiagege suddenly felt an almost uncontrollable stabbing pain in his heart. Because at this moment, Long Jianhui looked exactly like the one on the deepest shore of the Pacific, who had closed his eyes forever...... Brother Sun Jing!
Zhanxiage gritted his teeth desperately, his voice trembling as he shouted, "Yes!" ”
"Very good, a war hero song is just a war hero song. At critical moments, she doesn't whine like a woman, not knowing the weight. That's the fangs I, Long Jianhui, truly care about!"
Long Jianhui quickly glanced at Shen Hao, who was lying in front of a corpse, still gripping an AK-47 rifle tightly, and said in a low voice, "He's a real man, an outstanding soldier." Since I, the supreme commander, are here, there's no reason for him to stay and die with us. Take him with you and leave! ”
Zhanxiage glanced at Shen Hao and said, "He truly is a real man. I believe that even if we talk our minds out, he won't abandon his brothers and break out with us." ”
"Since when did Zhanxiage become obedient and only use his own words to persuade people?" On this battlefield, isolated and out of ammunition and supplies, Instructor Long Jianhui suddenly smiled. He waved his hand in a chopping motion and said, "If he really refuses to cooperate, then use your favorite method to persuade him!" ”
Glancing at Zhao Haiping, Long Jianhui said, "That's your new apprentice, right? I won't look at him differently just because of his special status. He's a good soldier, and he still seems to have the energy to help you break through now. Take him along!" After breaking out, you still have to face relentless enemy pursuit. Having one more person, especially a sniper with good marksmanship, is always a good thing! ”
Long Jianhui took a military map from his pocket, pointed to a corner of the map, and said, "This is the Ice Plate we're on. The valley at the front of the Ice Plate is completely covered by ice and snow. Running back would be asking for death, so you can only run backward!" ”
Zhan Xiaoge's gaze followed Long Jianhui's fingers repeatedly. When Long Jianhui's finger crossed a thick red line, Zhan Xiagege was deeply moved. He asked in a low voice, "You mean ......?"
"Run! If you want to survive, you have to keep running forward without looking back!"
Long Jianhui leaned close to Zhanxiage's ear and said in a deep voice, "The only option is to escape China through the valley of Bingdaban. Once you enter Russian territory, first avoid the terrorists behind you, then send a radio message to the Russian military to request their support." The xx terrorists have now colluded with Russian Chechen rebels, and with the Afghan guerrillas as their arch-enemy, Russia, which has established a strategic partnership with China and shares the same enemy, has no reason to refuse your request. After receiving their help, you can return to China through the Russian government! ”
"Zhanxia Ge, no matter what dangers you face in the future, you must bring your classmates and those children back to China alive!" Long Jianhui gazed at the distant, blood-red sunset and sighed softly in his heart: "Actually, the fifth special unit's third fangs in history, and the youngest acting squad leader ever, is also just a kid in his twenties, isn't he?" ”
