Captain Xu took the intercom, was silent for a moment, and then replied:
"Command received. Comrade Doctor, what is your name?"
Dean Gu suddenly muttered to himself: "His name is Chen Xia, and he's my son-in-law..."
Everyone looked at Gu Wei in surprise, thinking that he was a ruthless man who dragged his son-in-law here to die.
This was Chen Xia's first time talking to a wartime organization like the headquarters, and it was quite refreshing.
"Reporting in, my name is Chen Xia, a doctor at Yuezhou People's Hospital. I have 25 wounded soldiers here, all of whom are seriously injured and have fallen into comas. In addition, there are 18 bodies of our soldiers that need to be transported. Please send support immediately."
Everyone in the command center was silent. At this critical moment, the young doctor was still thinking about how to save people, but they were powerless to do anything.
"Chen Xia, right? I'm Xu Zishan, commander of the NN Regiment. I'm here to inform you of a situation. The hill you're on, NNN, has been surrounded. The enemy troops below are attacking upwards, hoping to capture it."
Chen Xia's heart skipped a beat and he almost dropped the intercom microphone in his hand.
"Comrade Chen Xia, you've done your best. I want to tell you that you're a non-combatant, you..."
Commander Xu suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "You can choose to surrender. Don't worry, you won't be court-martialed because you are not an active-duty soldier. Do you understand?"
Everyone was stunned. The front-line commander actually ordered his own personnel to surrender. This was something that had never been heard of since the founding of the People's Republic of China. One could imagine what kind of punishment Captain Xu would face afterwards!
But everyone can understand Captain Xu, because Chen Xia is not an active-duty soldier, there is no need for him to sacrifice in vain. He really tried his best, and he should be left with a way to live!
Even Dean Gu was stunned and speechless. He wanted to grab the microphone and shout to his son-in-law:
"You can surrender, you can save your life!"
But decades of military experience had prevented him from saying this. How could he let his son-in-law surrender? This was a shame that would be laughed at forever by the Chinese people.
Chen Xia wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. A commander actually asked him to surrender?
He kept complaining in his mind: "Damn it, is this Captain Xu crazy? If I surrender, these 25 seriously injured soldiers will die."
What to do? What to do? I can't break out, and there's no support. Should I surrender?
There is no way he would surrender in this life. The worst that could happen is that he would die. If God saw his greatness, he might be reborn a second time, perhaps as a dandy prince in ancient times who returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Suddenly, Chen Xia had an idea.
"Yeah, why would I want to die? I have a golden finger. I can hide in the space hospital. There's plenty of food there anyway. At worst, I can just suddenly show up when our army recaptures the lost territory."
When he thought of this, Chen Xia felt that he was filled with endless courage and confidence.
As long as he wasn't assassinated by a sniper rifle, or a shell dropped from the sky prevented him from getting into the space hospital, there was no way he would die, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Since I won't die, I can do whatever I want here. At least I have to let the enemy be buried with me, otherwise it would be too easy for them.
At that time, he could not only sneak into the space hospital himself, but also take all the wounded and sacrificed soldiers into the space hospital, and everyone would just have to "collectively retreat".
What if a soldier woke up mid-transit and suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar hospital?
That's simple. Patients in shock are most likely to have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations. Even if they have hallucinations, no one will believe their "nonsense"!
Having made up his mind, Chen Xia shouted into the intercom, "Captain Xu, how many enemy troops are surrounding us at the foot of the mountain?"
Commander Xu: "We estimate there are about 2,000 people. Chen Xia, you have no chance of breaking out. No chance."
Suddenly, there was silence on the intercom for a moment, and then a voice came again: "Captain Xu, I want you to fire at me when the enemy troops are closing the encirclement and almost converging!"
Fire at me
Now it was the turn of the people in the command center to think that there was something wrong with their ears and said, "Fire at me"?
Isn't this a line from "Heroic Sons and Daughters"? Someone actually shouted "Fire at me!"
Everyone in the command center was moved, and everyone was shocked and in tears.
Dean Gu burst into tears: "This silly child, he could have surrendered, he could have lived, he is a billionaire now, he has three children, wuwu~~~"
Captain Xu's eyes widened suddenly: "Chen Xia, are you sure?"
"Captain Xu, I'm sure. There's no time to talk. I'm going to fire a few shots to draw the enemy over, making them think there are still troops on the top of the mountain. That way, they'll send all their forces to encircle us. If you think it's almost time, just fire your artillery and leave us alone."
Tactically speaking, this is indeed a good opportunity.
The enemy thought that there were our troops on the top of the mountain, so we would not rashly fire at our own people. Then the enemy could calmly capture the soldiers on the hill.
When more than 2,000 enemies are concentrated together, hundreds or thousands of artillery shells can be fired at them, and the enemy can be completely wiped out and a great victory can be achieved.
But how could such an order be given? We had our own soldiers and a non-military doctor on the hillside.
Everyone was in a dilemma.
Chen Xia put down the microphone and was ready to play. He took the automatic rifle from another soldier, turned on the safety, and fired indiscriminately at the foot of the mountain.
The enemy troops who were just about to attack the hillside had their rhythm disrupted and several of them were hit by stray bullets, which made the enemy commander scream in anger.
"There are still enemy troops on the hillside, but they are not too numerous. Everyone, attack immediately and we must take this hill within half an hour."
The enemy officer gave a death order, and more than 2,000 soldiers resolutely attacked up the hillside.
The gunshots were getting closer. Chen Xia swallowed and suddenly shouted into the microphone:
"What the hell are you guys wasting your time on? Why don't you just fire at me? There are over 2,000 enemies out there! We need to avenge our fallen brothers!"
Captain Xu suddenly gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.
Everyone's heart tightened when they saw the leader's expression.
Looking at the hill in the distance, there was a lone rifle, still aimlessly and stubbornly firing towards the bottom of the mountain.
This scene was something that everyone present would never be able to see again.
Dean Gu burst into tears, "Chen Xia, Chen Xia~~~~~"
Commander Xu: "Order, all guns aim at hill NNN."
"Report, all gunners are ready!"
Commander Xu took a deep breath, threw down his military cap, and shouted, "Fire! Fire hard!!"
