In the evening, Cheng Chong came to the foot of the plateau. The towering plateau mountains fluctuated like the backbone of a high and uplifted giant, standing still and lying in front. It has been so for thousands of years.
Cheng Chong's heart began to surge with excitement. It can be seen that he didn't take the wrong road. As long as he climbed the plateau, he was not far from the half moon checkpoint, or the plateau in front of him and his home.
But while he was excited and surging, he was vaguely worried. The old herdsman pointed out only the general direction, and he was not sure. At the moment, he could only determine that his general direction was not wrong, that's all.
However, crossing the desert Gobi is different from crossing other places. Sometimes, as long as there is a slight deviation in the direction, it is very likely to take a large circle of wronged road. Some even can't reach the destination at all. It's really a hundred miles away.
What's more, I've been extremely tired for days. Now after running for nearly a whole day, the physical consumption is of course very amazing. When he got to the foot of the plateau, he was almost exhausted. Moreover, he had to climb the plateau three or four kilometers above sea level. This is definitely not a simple thing, especially for Cheng Chong at the moment.
Night fell again, the stars crowded in the bright sky, blinking and glittering, naughty winking, a lively and peaceful scene.
Under the thick darkness, Cheng Chong dragged his extremely tired body and tried his best to climb the plateau step by step. Every time he climbed up for a while, he had to stop panting, rest and adjust for a moment, and then he could continue.
The water and food given to him by the old herdsman have long been used up, and he can no longer get any supplies. Therefore, tonight, anyway, he must climb up the plateau and return to the half moon checkpoint. Otherwise, he is likely to stay in a rare corner or corner of the plateau forever because of the depletion of his physical strength and energy, And will not be found for a long time.
But where is the half moon checkpoint? Where are the comrades in arms?
After climbing in the middle of the night, Cheng Chong, who finally climbed the plateau, was always in doubt. At least there were stars to guide the direction in the first half of the night. When he coughed in the second half of the night, the stars had long disappeared. At the moment, the sky was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly, let alone the direction.
Cheng Chong, who was very tired, wandered aimlessly on the plateau, looking for it, and his heart gradually produced a sense of anxiety and fear. He clearly knows that he is in a very dangerous situation at the moment. On this desolate plateau, there are no villages in front of him, no shops behind him, and no eye-catching signs. People are very easy to get lost when they are placed in it. What's more, the plateau air pressure is low and the air is thin. People walking on the plateau are very easy to fall due to lack of oxygen. Once they fall, if they can't get timely treatment, they may no longer be satisfied with the opportunity to stand up.
However, Cheng Chong didn't dare to stop easily. He was worried and afraid because he was lost. Once he stopped, the anxiety and fear in his heart naturally became more and more serious. He had to comfort himself by moving forward step by step. At any rate, there was still hope. As long as he stopped, I'm afraid the last hope left in his heart would be dashed.
However, people's physical fitness can not always be inexhaustible, especially when they can't get any supplies.
I don't know how long he wandered on the plateau. Exhausted Cheng Chong finally fell down again because of his strength. However, at this time, he was still sober and conscious. He was just tired and out of strength.
Extremely sleepy Cheng Chong lay flat on his back in the cold sand on the plateau. His tired eyes looked disappointed at the deep and mysterious sky, but the sky was dark, as if a rich and colorful world was hidden, and as if it was really empty.
Maybe I'll stay here forever.
Lying on the ground, Cheng Chong gasped and thought like this. A sense of sadness came out from the bottom of his heart and rushed to his forehead, and then filled the whole body.
no way! I can't just die here, no, absolutely not.
In order to avenge his dead comrades in arms, he went through thousands of hardships, overcame many difficulties, broke through layers of obstacles, destroyed the enemy's secret base, and wiped out all the militants who chased him all the way. In the dangerous situation surrounded by danger, I stood up and walked over safely. It makes no sense. I was almost at my door, but I fell down, forever.
In that case, I am not wronged to death.
No, I have to try my best to get up and continue to look forward. Even if I don't find the checkpoint, as long as I can find a herdsman! In that way, at least I won't die here quietly and won't be found.
Stubborn Cheng Chong clenched his teeth and tried to squeeze even a trace of strength out of his weak body to support himself to stand up again. However, at the moment, he looked high at himself and overestimated himself. At this time, he really realized that what is more than the heart but less than the strength.
Although the brain is still very sober, the limbs that have lost their strength don't listen at all! No matter how hard he tried and how hard he fought, there was no effect. At the moment, his whole body seemed to have been completely out of the control of the brain, as if they didn't belong to the same organism at all.
After grinding his teeth several times, Cheng Chong failed to support himself, let alone stand and walk. Instead, he was so tired that he was sweating and panting.
However, repeated setbacks did not make stubborn Cheng Chong give up.
He thought to himself that it would be useless to toss about like this. Maybe he would be so tired to death. If you can't, you'll have to take a short break and continue after your physical strength recovers a little! But the rest time should not be too long, let alone fall asleep, because once you fall asleep in this place, you can say whether you can wake up or not.
However, Cheng Chong still miscalculated at the moment, because sleeping is never controlled by people and is not transferred by people's will at all. How many people who have insomnia in the middle of the night rack their brains to sleep, but can't sleep, and how many people under special circumstances want to force themselves not to sleep, but still sleep soundly and can't extricate themselves.
Just a moment after Cheng Chong told himself not to fall asleep, he fell asleep without warning. Before falling asleep, he didn't say hello to him or give any hint. He didn't give him time and opportunity to respond at all.
I don't know how long I slept together. Maybe Cheng Chong had been hinting to himself in his heart, or for some other reason. Suddenly, he woke up suddenly.
When I woke up, I found that I was still sleeping in place, did not move at all, and the sky was still dark, with almost no change.
Cheng Chong felt as if he had recovered some strength. He wiped his tired sleepy eyes with the back of his hand, and his eyes began to become clear and bright.
However, at the moment when his eyes became clear and bright, a shocking scene appeared. However, in the dark night in the distance, there were dozens of beams shining from bottom to top, and those beams were still rotating in the void. In the dark night in the latter half of the night, the scene was really eye-catching and spectacular.
In the room of lightning and flint, Cheng Chong suddenly remembered what the sentry had said to him when he left the checkpoint this time. He was immediately extremely excited. That mood was far stronger and more violent than the underground party that had been working underground in the enemy occupied area for a long time.
yes! It was my comrades in arms who came to me. Dozens of them did so to show me the direction.
However, I still have several kilometers or even more away from those beams at the moment. How can I get close to them? At the moment, I'm exhausted and can't even stand up. How can I run so far close to them.
Excitedly, Cheng Chong hurriedly tried to support himself and shouted as hard as he could.
Generally speaking, on the quiet plateau, especially in the silent night, people's shouts can spread far and far. But at the moment, Cheng Chong was too far away from the position of those beams, and the sound could not be conveyed at all. The dark night was like a huge mouth, swallowing all the insignificant sound of Cheng Chong.
Cheng Chong shouted until his voice was hoarse. There was no way. He had to carry an AK47 rifle and shoot several shots into the air. The situation along the border was complex. It was absolutely impossible to shoot easily unless he had to.
However, after firing several shots, the beams were still indifferent, still pointing to the vast night sky and rotating irregularly.
Cheng Chong, who was excited and excited, gradually began to feel disappointed with his hoarseness. Is it true that he can't let his comrades in arms find himself? I really can't get close to my comrades in arms? Is it so close at hand, painlessly consuming, until they quietly leave the world?
It doesn't make sense! I'm already at the door. Can't I go in? It doesn't make sense!
While disappointed, Cheng Chong kept asking himself and asking himself.
What should I do? What should I do? Is there anything else you can use?
However, in a sudden, Cheng Chong suddenly touched the bright flashlight given to him by the sentry of the same year before his departure, and remembered the somewhat inexplicable words he said: Although the flashlight is for you, it is for our own use.
Cheng Chong, who thought of this, quickly took out from his pocket the strong light flashlight he had taken all the way. Several times, he almost discarded it. This is a military flashlight, also known as tactical flashlight. It is a serious 800 military product, and it is waterproof.
Cheng Chong held the bright flashlight tightly in his hand, and then couldn't wait to turn on the switch.
Then, a dazzling strong light pierced the thick night curtain, pointing straight to the sky from bottom to top, forming a dazzling beam, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark night sky in the second half of the night.
Sure enough, at the moment when Cheng Chong's flashlight emitted strong light, the dozens of tube bundles in the distance suddenly disappeared, leaving only one beam, still rotating in place.
A moment later, the second beam lit up again, and then the third and fourth beams lit up successively. If these beams are connected into a line, the direction will come straight.
It was the smart border guards who lit their way, leaving a beam of light every distance to prevent everyone from getting lost when they went back.
At the moment, Cheng Chong can immediately feel that many people are approaching him quickly. However, he still keeps an eye in his heart. After all, he is on the border at the moment, and the situation on the border is extremely complex. What if he comes not from his comrades in arms but from the enemy?
Cheng Chong quickly inserted the flashlight into the sand, then turned around and climbed hard to a low-lying place behind him. After climbing, he immediately hid himself, then set up his rifle, open the insurance and prepare for the corresponding shooting.
No matter whether the comrades in arms are coming or not, the necessary combat preparations still need to be done, and the vigilance that should be done can not be less. Otherwise, how can you say that you are a soldier or a Chinese soldier? At the same time, how can you stand up and wear this sacred military uniform?
In the dark, Cheng Chong lay quietly on the ground, holding his breath and quietly waiting for someone to appear.
With a burst of impatient footsteps, the visitor has gradually approached.
But Cheng Chong was still indifferent and remained invisible in the low-lying place, watching the direction of the visitor with high vigilance.
However, the group of people who came was also very vigilant. When the beam close to Cheng Chong was still 50 or 60 meters away, they suddenly stopped. After a rustle, the group of people who came quickly hid.
Then Cheng Chong heard Gao Bing's familiar cry: "Cheng Chong, dog day, is it you?"
Cheng Chong felt a great joy in his heart. He suppressed his excitement and excitement, paused and replied, "it's Lao Tze! Who else can it be if it's not Lao Tze? Lao Tze's voice is almost hoarse."
Then I heard everyone breathe a long sigh of relief, followed by a burst of relieved joy, but there was a trace of complaints in the bursts of joy.
"Shit! You recruit egg, where have you been? I've found you."
"Shit! The whole platoon of brothers didn't sleep for several nights just to wait for you, bird soldier."
"What are you doing? Be honest! Platoon leader, what do you say to deal with this bird recruit egg?"
While talking, a group of soldiers surrounded the platoon leader Gao Bing and walked over brightly until the beams of several strong flashlight shone on Cheng Chong's bloody body. The soldiers cheered, cheered and complained, which stopped dramatically. Almost everyone opened their eyes of fear and doubt, and everyone immediately had big question marks in their hearts.
What the hell is this recruit egg doing? What happened to him?
"Cheng Chong! What's the matter with you? What have you done? Do you know that all the brothers are worried to death." Bending down, Gao Bing helped Cheng Chong, who lay on his side and couldn't get up, sit up and asked with concern.
"That is, do you know that these nights, all the brothers in our platoon didn't sleep. They all went out and were waiting for you. They wanted to find you, wait for you, and be ready for battle. Anyway, you have to give an explanation to the brothers..." at that time, the two or three squad leaders also broke in one after another.
Cheng Chong looked at his comrades in arms who had been worried about him for several days with grateful eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched for a moment, paused and muttered, "platoon leader! I, I avenged my comrades in arms..."
After saying that, Cheng Chong's eyes flashed a touch of bright tears. He had been tense and overdrawn his strength. He suddenly fell down and fell into the arms of his comrades in arms.
After being stunned for a while, the comrades in arms who slowly responded cheered, cheered, exulted, and even shocked.
Cheng Chong slept at ease, down-to-earth and sweet, as if he had slept in the cradle and in the arms of his warm mother when he was young.
