Xue Peng didn't pay much attention to tomorrow's patrol. He had already asked about it when he was preparing for duty, and it only took six hours to complete it.
To me, a six-hour hike is really trivial, not even moderately interesting.
"Don't worry, Platoon Commander Lin, I will just follow your request."
The next day, Lin Yi got up early, looked at the snow that had not stopped all night, and felt the weather conditions again. It was similar to what he felt last night. The heavy snow would not stop.
Fortunately, Lin Yi felt that the weather was very mild, which meant that apart from the heavy snow, there was no strong wind.
This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
After breakfast, Lin Yi took everyone on a patrol with all their equipment and dry food. Lin Yi was at the forefront because of his reconnaissance and eagle eye skills.
Although the snow is falling heavily, and every time you step down, the snow will be submerged up to your knees, but usually everyone's physical fitness is not in vain, and there is not much hindrance to walking.
After walking for an hour, Lin Yi looked at everyone and said, "Rest where you are for fifteen minutes, and then leave again in fifteen minutes."
Because Xue Peng was walking at the back, he was walking very easily because he was treading on snow that had been flattened by his predecessors. This one-hour journey required no strength at all for him.
"Platoon Leader Lin, why don't we switch and I'll be the leader. Your physical strength is limited after all. If you have to be the leader all the way, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."
In terms of physical strength alone, Lin Yi might not be as good as Xue Peng, but it was Xue Peng's first time walking and he was not familiar with the road. There was no way Lin Yi would let him be the leader, so he replied, "You will be the leader in the future."
When we are at the head of the line, now you just follow us obediently and be the tail of the line, watching to see if there are any exhausted warriors and pushing them forward."
Xue Peng looked at the fierce warriors, who were still eating snow to quench their thirst from time to time, and complained, "If you walk for an hour and rest for fifteen minutes, even a woman will not be exhausted, let alone these men."
Lin Yi couldn't hear Xue Peng's complaints, but the soldiers at the end of the team could hear, "Platoon Commander Xue, our platoon leader is definitely right to ask for this. It's snowing now, and we need to pay attention to more things, so there must be
Just take the rest time to regain your energy.”
Xue Peng was a thorn in the regiment. If Lin Yi hadn't been here, he wouldn't have obeyed these people at all. The superior soldier in front of him also came to teach him. Would Xue Peng be willing? "It's none of your business. I can say whatever I want. You
Go get some rest and don't make me angry."
When the superior soldier heard Xue Peng's words, he immediately didn't dare to speak. He was just a superior soldier, and he was usually polite to the corporal, let alone the lieutenant in front of him.
What's more, this lieutenant is also the platoon leader of the reconnaissance company. The superior soldier immediately turned his head and stopped talking to Xue Peng.
After Lin Yi saw this scene, he yelled, "Xue Peng, have I ever told you to be honest? There are only a few people in the patrol team, and you can't unite? If you are saying something that damages unity,
If so, don’t go out on patrol next time. There is no need for disunity in the patrol team."
Xue Peng only obeyed Lin Yi, but now he was yelled at by Lin Yi. He was so angry that he could only hold it in. If you are not as skilled as others, you have no right to be arrogant. This is what he has engraved in his bones since he was a child.
He had no choice but to say: "Okay, I won't talk anymore."
The temperature was not low in the snowing weather. With the help of the electric heating clothes, Lin Yi's body was warm. This temperature made people feel sleepy, but Lin Yi did not dare to relax at this time. He could already feel the breeze.
Although the weather was still mild to his senses, he could vaguely feel that this patrol route would not be too simple.
After resting, everyone started walking again.
There were no surprises along the way, but just as he was approaching the end of the patrol, Lin Yi suddenly felt the malice brought by the weather. This malice went straight into his heart, and Lin Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He immediately shouted: "Look for favorable terrain, dig down into the snow, and build temporary shelters. There is a storm."
Xue Peng didn't feel any wind at this time, and even felt that the snow was about to stop. How could it be windy and violent in such good weather?
Xue Peng's disbelief was in sharp contrast to the soldiers in Squad 8 who had almost blindly followed Lin Yi.
Although Lin Yi had not been at the Eighth Class Post for a long time, he led everyone to win a second-class collective merit and a third-class collective merit. This kind of merit and honor had already made everyone blindly obey Lin Yi's orders.
the point.
Let alone the storm, even if Lin Yi said that a bomb would fall later, they would believe it.
Xue Peng couldn't understand where the tension of the Eighth Squad soldiers' rapid digging of holes came from, but everyone was busy. He was watching the fun from the side, which was not conducive to unity. If he was yelled at by Lin Yi, it would be terrible.
Not worth it.
So he also started digging snow pits.
Just when the temporary shelter was dug and Xue Peng wanted to climb out for some air, Lin Yi pushed him back. "We will guard the entrance of the cave and be ready to dig snow at all times to prevent the entrance of the cave from being buried."
Xue Peng immediately said: "Where did this storm come from? Platoon leader Lin, are you a little too nervous? Why don't you let me be the leader later? I still have all my strength that is useless."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the wind started blowing, and the wind carried the snow straight into the cave.
Fortunately, Lin Yi and Xue Peng blocked the entrance of the cave, so other people in Maoer Cave could not feel the strong wind.
Lin Yi looked at the correspondent and said, "Report the location and situation to the regiment headquarters. Report that the eighth patrol team encountered a snowstorm. Temporary shelters have been set up. The personnel are safe, have sufficient food, and are taking refuge."
At this time, the regiment headquarters also received news that some areas were hit by a snowstorm. Just as they were about to contact each of them one by one to ask them to evacuate immediately, they heard that the patrol team of Class 8 reported that they had dug temporary shelters.
The leaders of the group were so surprised when they heard this speed.
However, when they heard that the leader of the patrol team of Class 8 was Lin Yi, they felt that it was extremely normal.
It’s not surprising to be able to lead team members through windy areas to collect supplies in windy weather and do things that are ahead of their time.
At this time, Xue Peng looked at Lin Yi in surprise, and after a while he said: "Platoon leader Lin, how did you find out that there would be a snowstorm? I am really convinced, your thinking is too advanced."
Xue Peng now calls Lin Yi "you". This is no longer just admiration, but deep gratitude.
Xue Peng is the platoon leader of the reconnaissance company. He naturally knows that if he encounters such a storm without preparation, the end will be miserable. If he digs the hole quickly, he can still save his life.
If you encounter someone who has no place to dig a hole, and no place to hide from the wind, then your life is probably given away, and it will not be easy to get it back.
