Xu Jianguo, who was hiding in the darkness outside the cave, saw that the time was almost right, so he took out the pistol from his waist, aimed at the muscle of his right shoulder and fired a shot. The Type 54 pistol fired at close range, and the huge kinetic energy of the bullet instantly penetrated his body, leaving a hole the size of a baby's fist on his back, similar to the effect caused by long-range shooting from a rifle.
In order to muddy the waters and not expose himself and Fu Niu, Xu Jianguo gritted his teeth and couldn't help but think, "This self-torture trick is really not a human performance!"
At this moment, he only felt that the entire right side of his body was numb, and the severe pain made the blue veins on his forehead stand out.
After taking a breath, Xu Jianguo raised his pistol again and fired another shot at the skin on his waist. This time it was not a penetrating wound, but just a scratch about five centimeters long.
After torturing himself, Xu Jianguo put the pistol into the holster with his left hand, and then communicated with Xu Yan and Xu Yang who were still firing. A moment later, when Xu Jianguo fired the last blank bullet, the gunshots in the cave stopped.
Fu Bo and the other six men all fell in a pool of blood, and the entire cave was filled with thick smoke and the smell of blood.
At this time, the guard platoon leader Zhong Lei was the first to come to his senses. He stood up from the ground and walked quickly to Fu Bo and the others with several soldiers. He first kicked the guns they dropped on the ground to the side, then stretched out two fingers and pressed on the necks of the six people for a while. After making sure that he could not feel any pulse, he felt relieved.
Zhong Lei picked up Fu Bo's rifle, removed the magazine and took a look. Finding that it was fully loaded with live ammunition, he inserted the magazine back and put the gun on his back.
The five people behind him shook their heads bitterly after checking the magazines. All the bullets were empty, and these people didn't even have spare magazines with them.
"Follow me!" Just when several people were still in a daze, Zhong Lei walked towards the cave entrance with a gun. When they saw Xu Jianguo, who was wearing a military uniform, with disheveled hair and covered in blood, in the faint light of the fire in the cave, they immediately exclaimed and hurriedly carried him into the cave.
When the other people in the cave saw Xu Jianguo's tattered military uniform stained with blood, and then looked at his young face covered in dirt, they suddenly felt a sense of reverence in their hearts.
At this time, Xu Jianguo pretended to be weak. In fact, he had already controlled the bleeding of his wounds through the spiritual power in his body. He did this just to gain the sympathy of these dozens of people.
Zhong Lei was distraught when he saw this comrade he had never met before. He took off his uniform and bandaged the wound on Xu Jianguo's right shoulder. Then he looked up and said, "Comrades, our comrade has been seriously injured while trying to save us. His condition is critical. We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger."
"Yes, Comrade Zhong Lei is right. This comrade risked his life to save us. We must do something, otherwise we will never feel at peace in this life!" Jiang Ende also spoke, his eyes full of self-blame and heartache.
Xu Jianguo listened to everyone talking at once, and couldn't help but feel moved. So he said weakly, "Water, water..."
When Zhong Lei heard this, he immediately squatted down and came over, searching in the backpack that Xu Jianguo was carrying.
After Xu Jianguo drank a few sips of water with his eyes half closed, he looked better. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Lei in front of him.
"Brother, thank you for saving us. Don't worry, we will take you away from here right away. You will be fine!" Zhong Lei said with red eyes.
"I...I was entrusted by Commander Yang...and I finally found...you...you guys!" Xu Jianguo's intermittent voice came.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lei quickly asked, "Commander Yang, are you from the Rongcheng base?"
Xu Jianguo shook his head slightly, pretended to raise his left hand with difficulty, and pointed to the pocket on his left chest.
Seeing this, Zhong Lei quickly reached out and found Xu Jianguo's officer certificate in his shirt pocket. When the people around saw the military rank on the certificate, they gasped.
"Rongcheng Base, Zhong Lei, the platoon leader of the second platoon of the seventh company of the first guard battalion, reports to you!" Zhong Lei suddenly stood up, saluted Xu Jianguo, and said loudly.
Xu Jianguo felt somewhat helpless and thought to himself, "Fortunately, it was installed later. If I had really been injured, I would have been delayed by these guys."
"North, go north! My...my car is hidden there, and there is a radio in the car!" Xu Jianguo continued.
When everyone heard that there was a radio station, they were overjoyed. Zhong Lei nodded vigorously towards Xu Jianguo, and the admiration in his eyes became even stronger.
He arranged for several guards to go out and find branches, then wrapped their military uniforms around two thick branches to make a simple stretcher, and made the remaining branches into torches.
Just like that, Zhong Lei led the way, four guards carried Xu Jianguo, followed by people from the Geological Research Institute, and other guards followed behind. More than fifty people walked towards the direction Xu Jianguo said.
The road to Shu is difficult, harder than climbing to the sky!
This sentence is the most appropriate to describe the current scientific expedition team. Due to the dim light and the rugged mountain road, it took three hours for everyone to find the jeep that Xu Jianguo had covered with branches.
It was very close to dawn, but the darkness before dawn still gave people a feeling of depression. Fortunately, the surrounding firelight gave everyone some psychological warmth.
When everyone saw the compressed dry food and military radio in the trunk of the jeep, they all breathed a sigh of relief, followed by cheers.
Everyone unconsciously looked at the young soldier lying on the simple stretcher, and the admiration in their hearts was already beyond words.
…
At 5:40 in the morning, a soldier in the confidential section of the Bashu Rongcheng base suddenly received a string of emergency codes. After translation, the soldier stood up suddenly, causing the chair behind him to be knocked to the ground without him realizing it.
The other soldiers on duty with him were also startled by his sudden action and quickly asked, "Dongzi, why are you so startled?"
Xu Chengdong didn't say anything. He picked up the telegram and ran out, shouting as he ran: "We've found the person, we've found the person!"
The others looked at each other, all confused. Suddenly, one of the soldiers said, "No... Could it be that Platoon Leader Zhong and the others have some news?"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately filled with surprise and nodded, indicating that this was indeed a possibility.
At 5:52 in the morning, at the commander's residence of the Rongcheng base, the guard on duty, Shi Lei, heard an urgent knock on the gate of the yard, and his heart suddenly tightened.
