In mid-July, the Loess Plateau is in the hottest season of the year, with the temperature approaching 32 degrees Celsius. Between the two mountains, the clear and clean Xiuyan River flows slowly, and beside the river is the artery of northern Shaanxi.
On Yanyu Highway, a second-hand Dodge truck covered in rust is driving on the bumpy road, traveling along the road, and keeps going north.
"Coming from Yanchuan, the road conditions are getting worse." In the bumpy panoramic carriage, Yu Hua grabbed the railing of the cargo box with his right hand, looked at the situation of the Yanyu Highway ahead, and shook his head slightly.
The dirt roadbed is covered with pits and outlines like pockmarks, and the width is about 2.5 meters. This main road, known as the artery of northern Shaanxi, has extremely poor actual traffic and transportation capabilities.
The importance of the Yanyu Highway is self-evident. Since the Yancheng-Jingbian-Yulin Highway has not yet been built, this is the only route for all material and personnel exchanges between the two places in northern Shaanxi.
Starting from Yancheng, you can reach Yulin by passing through the four counties of Yanchuan, Qingjian, Suide and Mizhi.
In terms of road conditions alone, due to the lack of maintenance and repair of Yanyu Highway all year round, the actual road condition is not as good as that of the old Yanma Highway. Once it rains, the entire road will fall into mud and become impossible to drive.
"Chief, your medicine. It's noon now, and there is a clear stream in front of us. Should we stop and take a rest?" At this time, guard Lu Junyu came over, handed the military kettle filled with Chinese medicine to Yu Hua, and said softly.
The Chinese medicine was brewed overnight by Xu Xue, who had arrived in Yancheng, and a total of two days' worth was prepared.
After the organization learned about Yu Hua's physical problems, in order to ensure that the supply of traditional Chinese medicine would not be interrupted, the accompanying guards specially carried three pairs of traditional Chinese medicine to ensure the supply.
In addition, the Military Industry Bureau also raised Yu Hua's single-person meal standards to the highest level, ensuring that every meal included meat and vegetables.
"No, let's go directly to Qingjian and try to arrive in Yulin at eight o'clock tonight." Yu Hua took the military kettle, opened the lid, looked as if he shouldn't have drank the bitter Chinese medicine, and responded with a smile: "The sooner the factory site is determined, the better."
The steel plant can be completed one day sooner."
"yes."
After receiving Yu Hua's answer, Lu Junyu nodded, and then conveyed instructions to the correspondent carrying the radio station, asking him to report his whereabouts and related arrangements to the headquarters.
Lu Junyu serves as the security team leader for this inspection mission and has jurisdiction over three other security guards. According to regulations, every time he goes to a place, he must report news, whereabouts and schedules to the headquarters, in order to ensure Yu Hua's safety to the greatest extent.
"Comrade Lu, how many enemies have you killed?" After Lu Junyu finished his work, Yu Hua finished his drink, tightened the lid, sat down on the carriage platform covered with straw as a cushion, leaned against the railing, and asked.
"I haven't counted this, I don't know. I estimate there are twenty or thirty with bayonets." Lu Junyu smiled when he heard Yu Hua's question and responded.
"Bayonets... where's the gun?" Yu Hua was startled for a moment, and was slightly surprised. He was indeed a fierce man from the land of Yanzhao. He killed so many people with bayonets alone.
"I really don't know this. I used to be a heavy machine gunner. When we crossed the Chishui River for the fourth time, my platoon stayed behind to block the attack, attracting enemy firepower and covering the troops crossing the river. In one battle, more than a hundred people were wiped out.
A white bandit."
Lu Junyu shook his head slightly, thinking of the battle when he crossed the Chishui River for the fourth time, and responded: "Later, in order to seize the opportunity to retreat, I had to blow up the heavy machine gun. After successfully crossing the river, he was transferred to the headquarters guard regiment and climbed the snow-capped mountains.
, I crossed the grassland and fought too many times, large and small, and I really don’t know how many enemies I destroyed.”
Worthy of being an elite veteran of the Red Army...
Yu Hua secretly smacked his tongue. He had no doubts about what Lu Junyu said. One was the identity of the heavy machine gunner, and the other was the identity of the headquarters security group.
The fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Long March, crossing Chishui four times, climbing over snow-capped mountains, crossing grasslands, leaving Shu and entering Gansu, and finally to northern Shaanxi. In fact, the whole process was like a screening of 30,000 soldiers who finally arrived at their destination.
, all of them are brave elites who have experienced dozens of battles.
As a soldier of the headquarters guard regiment, Lu Junyu is undoubtedly the elite among these elites, a serious soldier of the Red Army with rich practical experience that is rare in the world.
You know, the Long March is not about traveling, but about going through heavy siege by the enemy again and again...
"Actually, those white bandits are very weak. They often lose their will to fight after one charge. They are not worthy of praise. I would like to fight with the Japanese army and use a Japanese body to test whether my bayonet is sharp..." Speaking of chasing and intercepting them all the way.
Lu Junyu's dark face showed a hint of disdain for the white bandits. In his opinion, these white bandits were as fragile as sheep. The conversation turned to point directly at the Japanese army, and his eyes were as sharp as sharp knives.
It's not that he is arrogant and arrogant, but that these white bandits are too weak and have no rules in fighting. Every time he leads a team to penetrate the enemy's rear, he can accidentally pass from the enemy's left wing to the right wing.
Is there anything praiseworthy about beating such an opponent?
He had heard that the Japanese army was powerful, so one day he wanted to test whether the Japanese army was as powerful as the rumors said.
Lu Junyu was not afraid of Japanese devils. As a soldier, he was eager to fight, eager to pierce the bodies of these Japanese bastards with a bayonet, and then pull them out suddenly, watching the opponent die.
"Comrade Lu, if you were in ancient times, you must be a fierce general. However, I personally think that if you can use a gun to solve the problem, try to use a gun. After all, the killing efficiency of the bayonet is far less than that of firearms." Lu Junyu exudes the aura of a mighty warrior like an ancient warrior.
, after hearing the words, Yu Hua sighed in his heart, and then reminded him.
There are many warriors in Yan and Zhao.
Judging from Lu Junyu's aura and strength, Gao Luo is a bayonet warrior, but Yu Hua does not advocate the use of bayonets. After all, bullets have no eyes on the battlefield.
"Of course I understand this. I'm not stupid. It's a pity that the team is seriously short of weapons and ammunition. During the war, veterans like me can divide ten rounds of ammunition, while recruits often only have two rounds, so they only use hand-to-hand combat as a last resort. Chief, are we building
If we build this steel plant, we will have more bullets in the future?" Lu Junyu nodded humbly, showing no impatience with Yu Hua's reminder. He recalled the battle in his mind, and his words showed helplessness. As he spoke, he looked into Yu Hua's eyes.
A glimmer of hope.
"Yes, there will not only be endless bullets, but also rifles, machine guns, and even cannons. You will have everything you had before, and there will also be weapons you don't have." Yu Hua looked directly into Lu Junyu's eyes and nodded seriously.
The words sounded as dignified and solemn as an oath.
Endless bullets, rifles, machine guns and cannons. Lu Junyu, who had only attended private school for two years, suddenly understood why Yu Hua was so valued by the organization after hearing Yu Hua's answer. He also understood that as a guard, he had
The responsibilities are multiple.
Even if he dies, Yu Hua cannot die!
The same was true for the other three guards. Even though they did not speak, they could still obtain important information from the conversation between Yu Hua and Lu Junyu.
Time passed slowly inadvertently, and the Dodge truck moved forward at a speed of twenty kilometers per hour.
…
A white horse passed by, the sun set in the west, and the horizon in the distance seemed as red as fire.
As the beautiful and brilliant sunset sets, night falls quietly.
After sitting in the car for a whole day and driving more than 200 kilometers along the Yanyu Highway, Yu Hua finally arrived in Yulin. To be honest, in a sense, he had experienced the ancient feeling of traveling 500 miles a day.
If you want to ask what it feels like, in one sentence, it's lightheaded, lightheaded, sore, and backache.
After exiting the Yanyu Highway surrounded by mountains, the front suddenly opened up, and Yulin County in the twilight came into view. As far as the eye could see, it was an endless flat terrain.
Here is the place known as the Pearl on the Fortress - Yulin.
PS: Sorry, I finished writing at four o'clock the day before yesterday, and then I felt my heart pounding, like a sign before sudden death. I rested all day yesterday, so this is the chapter today. Let me adjust my schedule to avoid sudden death.
