The enemy's position happened to be in a place with a relatively steep terrain, so not much water accumulated when it rained. Before the water could completely penetrate, it basically flowed down the slope.
It’s so abominable!
"Even if they are lucky this time, we won't give up!"
The more Pei Yunchen thought about it, the angrier he became. He was extremely annoyed.
When Lu Huaiyan heard what he said, his brows furrowed tightly, his eyes dimmed, and he didn't say anything, but raised his hand and gently patted Pei Yunchen's shoulder.
He knew Pei Yunchen's mood at the moment, but the impulse at this moment was the most terrifying.
In his heart, he was even more anxious than he was, but as a soldier, at such a life-and-death moment, the most taboo thing is impulsiveness. They must remain absolutely calm and carefully analyze the situation on the battlefield.
In this way, when they are in a disadvantageous situation, they may be able to find a glimmer of hope in desperation and successfully break the impasse.
The wounded on the front line were still being transported into the trenches. There were so many of them that even the military doctors accompanying the army were almost overwhelmed.
The trenches were filled with noisy shouts and the painful groans of wounded soldiers. These chaotic sounds intertwined together, making people feel more nervous and depressed the more they listened.
Lu Huaiyan looked around and saw the situation in front of him.
Among the wounded, there was a woman whose crying was particularly loud, which soon attracted everyone's attention, and Lu Huaiyan was no exception.
He frowned at the woman in front of him and strode towards her.
The woman's hair was as disheveled as weeds, and she was soaked by the rain. Her face was covered with tear marks, and her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.
"My son, my man, they are still trapped in there. If they are gone, what's the point of me living! I might as well die!" Li Xiulan cried heartbreakingly, wailing loudly, her face full of despair.
Several people nearby heard the noise and gathered around, trying to comfort her.
An old lady with white hair, trembling with a cane, walked up to Li Xiulan, stretched out her hand to hold Li Xiulan, and gently advised: "My daughter, don't think like that. The soldiers are all good. They will definitely rescue your husband and children safely. You must believe them!"
But at this moment, Li Xiulan was surrounded by injured people, and seeing some of them dying, she was overwhelmed by fear and could not hear any words of comfort.
She stood up suddenly, as if she had gone mad, and rushed towards the battle-stricken area ahead, shouting, "I want to find my man and son. I can't watch them die there!"
"If they die, I will die too!"
The soldiers who were in charge of guarding nearby reacted immediately when they saw what was happening. They were shocked and rushed over quickly to stop her.
"Sister-in-law, calm down. If you rush over blindly like this, not only will you fail to save your family, but you will also die in vain!" A young soldier urged anxiously.
Li Xiulan, however, struggled desperately like a madman, with tears streaming down her face like a flood.
After a moment, Lu Huaiyan walked directly up to her. When she saw Lu Huaiyan, for some reason, Li Xiulan seemed to have grasped the last straw. Her legs went soft and she knelt down with a plop.
"Comrade, please, you must bring my husband and children back! They are my life. I don't want to live without them!" Li Xiulan cried and begged, her voice full of begging and despair.
Pei Yunchen and Lu Huaiyan looked at each other with complicated emotions in their eyes.
Pei Yunchen slowly bent down, gently lifted Li Xiulan up with both hands, looked at her firmly and sincerely, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we promise you that we will bring them back to you unharmed! This is our promise as soldiers!"
Li Xiulan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and tears fell from her eyes.
She sniffed, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, looked at the two of them, and asked softly, "Really? Can you really save them?"
Lu Huaiyan looked at her seriously and nodded, "Don't worry, this is our duty as soldiers."
After hearing this, Li Xiulan felt relieved and her emotions stabilized.
With trembling hands, she took out a black and white photo that had already been soaked with tears from her arms.
The photo shows a simple and honest middle-aged man and a cute and lively little boy.
"This... This is their photo, comrade, you must remember what they look like!" Li Xiulan handed the photo to Lu Huaiyan, her rough hands shaking constantly.
"Yes."
Lu Huaiyan solemnly stretched out his hands, took the photo, and carefully put it into his pocket.
Pei Yunchen said nothing, but his eyes were somewhat heavy.
Looking at the sad face of the woman in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh softly, but didn't say out loud what he was thinking.
But the front line is so dangerous now, and her husband might really be in danger...
The moment this thought came to his mind, his mood became extremely bad, and he hated the person who caused this war even more.
Lu Huaiyan looked at him, raised his hand and touched the photo placed close to his body, and he had an idea in his mind.
But neither of them chose to say these words, but continued to lead the team to search the surrounding area.
While rescuing the wounded, we also helped other people to evacuate.
