The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 487 Warriors!!!

Liu Xishun had no time to worry about hiding. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to completely lure away this enemy force.

So he tried his best and ran forward desperately, every step he took was full of determination and courage.

The instructor behind him and the remaining five soldiers saw this scene clearly.

The eyes of the comrades were full of admiration and concern.

"Shunzi, you must come back safely!" the instructor said silently in his heart.

The situation forced us to do so in order to preserve the team's strength.

The instructor could only swallow his heartache and quickly evacuate with the remaining five soldiers.

A few days later, the instructor and his team finally got in touch with the troops after overcoming many difficulties.

However, at this time, their hearts were filled with concern and anxiety about Liu Xishun.

His comrades didn’t know whether Liu Xishun was hiding in some corner or had already died heroically.

What they could not imagine was that Liu Xishun actually crawled back to the embrace of the motherland with amazing perseverance and strong will.

For the instructors and soldiers who were completely unaware of all this, they could only pray and wish silently in their hearts.

Fortunately, Liu Xishun did not die at this time.

He is writing a military legend with his bravery and fearlessness.

While running to distract an enemy patrol, he was unfortunately shot in the hip.

The bright red blood instantly dyed his military pants red.

The enemy troops chasing him also discovered that Liu Xishun was injured, so they chased him even harder, chattering: "Hurry up, he's injured, he can't get away!"

But at this time, Liu Xishun did not stop running because of his injury.

His strong willpower allowed him to keep running forward despite the pain.

Just like that, we kept running through the paddy fields and into the jungle.

In the jungle, Liu Xishun finally escaped the patrol's pursuit.

Fortunately, he found a cave in the jungle.

Liu Xishun was overjoyed and thought to himself: "There is always a way out!"

So, he endured the severe pain and limped in. Finally, he had a safer place to rest.

After entering the cave, Liu Xishun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

However, when he lowered his head to check his injuries, the slight sense of hope that had just risen in his heart was instantly replaced by horror - his wounds were already swollen so high that it seemed like they would burst at any time.

In this remote wilderness, medicine and gauze are simply unavailable.

Liu Xishun searched his entire body and found only a worn-out towel, which he usually used to wipe his sweat.

At this moment, this inconspicuous torn towel became his only life-saving straw.

Liu Xishun gritted his teeth and simply wrapped the towel around the wound with trembling hands, making an extremely crude bandage.

However, fate did not seem to let him off easily.

The enemy army was still chasing us closely.

They found bloodstains left by Liu Xishun in the dense jungle.

Just like a wild dog discovering the trace of prey, it excitedly followed the blood trail towards the cave.

As the footsteps of the enemy patrol grew closer, the air in the cave seemed to freeze.

Liu Xishun held his breath and concentrated, and he could clearly hear the enemy's chattering and chaotic footsteps outside.

He couldn't run away, because there was a cave behind him. The cave was not big and had only one exit, and the enemy was searching for the exit.

At this time, Liu Xishun knew that there was no hope of escape and was ready to sacrifice himself.

He had never used the gun he was given when he joined the battle.

Liu Xishun counted the bullets he was carrying, a total of 320 rounds, and none of them had been used.

"Damn it! Kill one and you'll get your money back. Kill two and you'll make a profit. I won't let you bastards get away with it even before I die!"

Liu Xishun was in the cave, pointing his gun at the enemy soldiers outside.

As long as they dared to approach the cave, bullets would hit them.

However, the enemy soldiers did not find the cave because the bloodstains disappeared near the cave, and Liu Xishun luckily escaped.

Liu Xishun breathed a sigh of relief when the enemy went far away.

Although he is not afraid of sacrifice, who doesn't want to live?

Staying in this hidden cave would only mean waiting for death.

After spending two difficult days in the dim cave, Liu Xishun resolutely decided to step out of the shelter to look for the lost troops.

However, the daytime environment was too dangerous, with enemy patrols everywhere, and one could easily expose their whereabouts if they were not careful.

Only when night falls and darkness becomes the best cover can the chance of being discovered by the enemy be reduced.

So Liu Xishun waited patiently until the night of the 26th when he began to take action.

But questions arise one after another, where should he go?

As early as the 15th, the last troop had already embarked on the journey home, which meant that there was no trace of the Xia army's main force in this ungrateful land.

The unit Liu Xishun belonged to had long been disbanded in the battle. Where are his former comrades now?
Did anyone successfully find the unit? Did anyone return home safely? Or did they die heroically in battle?

All of this is an unknown mystery to Liu Xishun.

Because he had no idea where the troops were, Liu Xishun decided to return home alone.

But it is not easy for a wounded person to return home, as he has no idea where he is now.

Liu Xishun only knew that his motherland was in the north, and if he kept going north, he would definitely be able to return to his motherland.

But in the vast mountains, which direction is north?
Big Dipper!
Yes! The direction of the Big Dipper is north!
After finding the right direction, Liu Xishun did not stop for a moment. He followed the direction of the Big Dipper and headed north!
After the Xia army retreated, the "ungrateful" north was filled with scattered enemy soldiers. Liu Xishun could only follow along the small path, dragging his injured body.

Without food and water, weeds on the roadside and sewage from paddy fields became his necessities.

In such a desperate situation, it’s like adding insult to injury!

Because his gunshot wound was getting more and more serious.

After walking like this for 4 days, Liu Xishun really couldn't hold on any longer.

By the 26th, the gunshot wound on his buttocks had become severely infected, and his entire leg was so swollen that he couldn't even walk.

For most people, faced with such a desperate situation, they would probably have already become discouraged and chosen to give up.

However, Liu Xishun is an exception. He has a will of steel.

Even if I am seriously injured, I will crawl back to the embrace of the motherland!
At this moment, Liu Xishun was covered with scars all over his body.

But he still guarded the military supplies on his body tightly, as these were the precious assets of the troops and must not be lost in any way.

So, he endured the severe pain, carried the heavy weight of dozens of kilograms on his back, and began to crawl towards the direction of his motherland little by little.

Every step is full of hardships, and every moment is challenging the limits of human beings.

This kind of unspeakable pain is simply beyond the imagination and experience of ordinary people.

But Liu Xishun never retreated or gave up.

In this way, he traveled day and night, crawling forward without stopping...

Finally, at around 31 p.m. on the 6st, Liu Xishun crawled into a cornfield with difficulty.

At this time, Liu Xishun's wounds had become seriously infected and completely rotted, and his body was extremely weak.

However, when Liu Xishun climbed out of the cornfield and suddenly saw the eye-catching Chinese characters "Seal the Mountains and Cultivate Forests" on the opposite hillside, he was suddenly filled with irrepressible excitement and joy.

"I'm back! I'm finally back!"

Tears welled up in his eyes as he finally returned to his long-cherished motherland!

Despite his extremely weak body, Liu Xishun struggled to climb forward. When he reached the next hillside, his body rolled down.

Just as he was about to continue crawling forward, he was discovered by several Xia army border guards who were on patrol.

The border guards, looking at this naked, bloodstained stranger, were not sure of his identity. After a long journey through the jungle, Liu Xishun's uniform had been worn to pieces, and his shoulder straps and badges were lost during the crawling process.

"Comrade... I... I am from the XX Regiment of the XX Division... I am with the troops..."

When Liu Xishun weakly and intermittently told the border guards about his experience, all the soldiers were stunned.

Climbed back here all by himself? In nearly 10 days? This is incredible.

The border guards were all deeply moved by Liu Xishun’s behavior!
What is a hero? This is a hero!

The soldiers acted quickly and carefully carried Liu Xishun to the patrol station.

The squad leader then called the border defense regiment without hesitation.

It was urgently reported that a brave soldier, despite being seriously injured, had gone through many hardships and crawled back from the dangerous "ungrateful" territory.

When the leaders of the border defense regiment heard the news, they did not take it seriously.

They made a quick decision and rushed Liu Xishun to the field hospital in the rear.

However, when everyone arrived at the hospital and prepared to treat Liu Xishun, they were surprised to find that his injuries were far more serious than they had imagined.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

His wound had deteriorated to the point of ulceration, and the surrounding muscles had become necrotic due to infection.

Due to limited conditions, the field hospital was unable to provide him with effective treatment.

Liu Xishun’s critical condition was quickly reported to the front command, which attracted the attention of Deputy Chief of Staff Liu Zhiye.

He acted promptly and quickly dispatched a special car to take Liu Xishun to the Chuncheng Military Region General Hospital.

At the General Hospital, experts from the military hospital quickly conducted a comprehensive examination of Liu Xishun and decided to perform a skin grafting operation on him.

During the operation, experts carefully removed a large amount of necrotic muscle from his body, which bought him a precious chance of survival.

Liu Xishun’s life was finally saved!
It took Liu Xishun 9 days and 8 nights to crawl back to his motherland. He is truly a steel-like warrior!

His deeds caused a sensation across the country, and the headquarters sent a special delegation to the hospital to express their condolences to him.

Afterwards, Xiao Jiaxi was awarded the honorary title of "Iron Warrior" by the headquarters, and later was awarded the first-class merit.

Liu Zhiye, the leader of the front command, took time out of his busy schedule to visit him three times.

Liu Zhiye particularly admires this young steel warrior!

Although Liu Xishun was just a cook, his experience was no less than that of a hero who had won military merits on the battlefield.

He was not afraid of sacrifice, always had his motherland in his heart, and with superhuman perseverance, he accomplished things that ordinary people could never imagine. His heroic deeds, along with all the heroic deeds, will be forever recorded in the book of merit.

Shortly after being discharged from the hospital, Liu Xishun was promoted to officer and then selected to study at the S City Army Academy.

Later, after Liu Xishun graduated, he was taken away by the Special Forces Brigade of the Beijing Military Region...

Compared with other martyrs and disabled soldiers who died, Liu Xishun is lucky.

Sacrifices are inevitable in war. Death in battle is considered the best, but some people are disabled and even their future lives are affected.

Even so, it still did not defeat these good men with iron wills.

They are the Iron Warriors!

As the commander of the army on the front line, Liu Zhiye was accustomed to seeing countless casualties every day.

It is true that every battle is built on the sacrifice of thousands of lives!
But this was not their own choice, it was imposed on them by the enemy, and they could only be forced to fight back!
Even Liu Zhiye, who had witnessed countless life and death situations, couldn't help but be moved sometimes.

Liu Xishun is just one of them, and Wu Zhonghua is also one of the thousands of heroes.

Speaking of Wu Zhonghua, he set a lofty ambition since he was a child: as a seven-foot man, he would dedicate himself to the borders of the motherland and defend the motherland with a gun in hand.

After Wu Zhonghua's unremitting efforts, he finally became a soldier of the border defense force.

Wu Zhonghua, who got what he wanted, cherishes the time he spent in military uniform defending his country. He trains hard and practices hard to improve his skills in killing the enemy in the army.

When the battle to recapture L Mountain began, Wu Zhonghua immediately wrote a letter of request to his superiors to go to the battlefield and serve the country.

The enemy is entrenched in this mountain.

They transformed all the strategic heights into powerful military fortresses, and watched them covetously.

On April 4, former acting chief of staff Liu Zhiye instructed the troops to begin retaking the L Mountain area.

Although Wu Zhonghua went to the front line with full enthusiasm, he was still shocked when he witnessed the cruelty of war for the first time.

The enemy almost turned the L Mountain position into a war machine, with all kinds of barbed wire, trenches, and bunkers. There were also enemy artillery positions on the opposite side of the mountain, and deadly mines were buried on the main road leading up the mountain and in the forests.

The front line kept carrying down wounded and deceased comrades, some of whom were blown to pieces with blood and flesh mixed with mud;

Some were burnt into a pile of charcoal, and the human form was barely recognizable;
Some had their abdomens pierced by shrapnel. Even though they covered the wounds with their hands, blood still gushed out, and even their intestines were exposed.

The tragic scene not only failed to scare Wu Zhonghua away, but instead made his fighting spirit even stronger.

Wu Zhonghua and his comrades marched firmly towards the preset position.

I saw the enemy's dense firepower network pouring out from the firepower port of the bunker.

And the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

Wu Zhonghua quickly untied the five grenades on his body and tied them together.

"Zhonghua!" Amid the exclamations of his comrades, Wu Zhonghua resolutely rushed out of his hiding place and rushed towards the enemy bunker...

With a loud bang, the bunker that had blocked Xia’s advance for a long time completely fell silent.

Xia Jun's reinforcements quickly followed, and after a fierce battle, they successfully captured Hill 58.

At this time, Wu Zhonghua fell in a pool of blood. His face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.

When his comrades carried him off the front line on a stretcher, he did not cry out in pain, but kept muttering, "Have we taken Hill 58? Have we taken Hill 58?"

"We've got it, don't worry!" Wu Zhonghua, who was still thinking about the battlefield, fainted only after receiving his comrade's tearful affirmative answer.

During the battle, Wu Zhonghua was injured in the waist and legs and was sent to the rear hospital for treatment.

But before his injuries were healed, he volunteered again and returned to the battlefield to fight alongside his comrades.

Once when he was on a mission, a loud bang was heard not far from Wu Zhonghua. When he heard the explosion, his first reaction was: "It's over. A comrade stepped on a landmine."

Regardless of the extremely dangerous minefield around them, Wu Zhonghua called on his comrades to take stretchers and rush to the explosion site.

When we arrived at the site of the explosion, we saw a big hole in the ground. White smoke was rising from the soil and two bloody figures were lying motionless in the hole.

Even though the two men were covered in blood and dirt, Wu Zhonghua recognized them at a glance as the squad leader and his men.

Wu Zhonghua jumped into the pit regardless, and somehow found the strength to carry the squad leader out of the pit.

"Hurry! Save people!" Wu Zhonghua shouted and ran as fast as he could, not caring about the minefield full of deadly dangers ahead.

He took the lead and cleared the way, with several soldiers carrying stretchers running behind him.

While running, Wu Zhonghua felt an unusual sensation under his feet, "Oh no, it's a landmine!"

Without time to react, he pushed his comrades behind him aside.

"Boom!" After a loud bang, Wu Zhonghua flew high up, his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.

Comrades who rushed to the scene after hearing the news rushed him to the hospital in a hurry. After some rescue efforts, Wu Zhonghua was saved from death.

Unfortunately, Wu Zhonghua's legs were blown off from the thighs by the landmine.

After waking up from a coma for several days, Wu Zhonghua, who was still weak, said: "My squad leader, is my squad leader saved?"

When he realized that he was the only survivor, the tough guy who didn't even frown when he learned that he had lost both legs was stunned. He leaned over the wall and pounded it with his hands, bursting into tears.

The wound burst immediately, and his hand was almost beaten to the bone.

Why? If he hadn’t stepped on the landmine, his comrades wouldn’t have died, and even the squad leader might have been saved.

Wu Zhonghua was extremely upset and felt that he had caused the death of his comrades who had fought alongside him.

Wu Zhonghua has always felt very guilty!
Even later, when he was awarded the titles of "Special Meritorious Contributor" and "Combat Hero" by the headquarters, he did not feel relieved.

After being discharged from the hospital, Wu Zhonghua felt that he was disabled. He did not want to be a burden to the army and the country anymore, so he resolutely and proactively requested to retire and return home.

When Liu Zhiye learned about this, he was deeply touched.

He is well aware that the country is facing many difficulties in this special era.

Therefore, Liu Zhiye decided to use his personal strength to help this lovely and respectable soldier.
