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

Chapter 501 The Hard “Cat Ear Cave”!!!
In the blink of an eye, it is already the twelfth month of the year.

Liu Zhiye came to southern Xinjiang in early December last year, and he has not returned home once in this entire year.

What he didn't expect was that although the first phase of the counterattack was over, the two-mountain rotation war that lasted for more than ten years had already begun.

This was more than two years earlier than Liu Zhiye's previous life.

The Two Mountains Battle was a continuation of the counterattack, although the enemy had suffered a heavy blow in the previous self-defense counterattack.

However, the "ungrateful" top leaders have not given up their wrong anti-Xia policy.

After the Xia army withdrew, they continued to create disputes.

In this long-term conflict, the battle over the L Mountain area was the longest and largest.

After Xia Jun took control of L Mountain, he entered the positional defense phase.

The enemy was unwilling to accept defeat, and they once organized a division-level counterattack.

A large number of heavy weapons were used.

In order to avoid the enemy's artillery fire, the Xia army soldiers began to build anti-artillery fortifications called cat ear holes on their positions.

Cat ear holes are usually only one meter high, with very narrow entrances and piles of concealment such as branches.

The existence of cat ear holes can effectively reduce the possibility of our soldiers being affected by enemy artillery fire, and can also prevent sneak attacks by Vietnamese agents.

Although cat ear caves have many functions, the conditions inside are extremely difficult and harsh.

The L Mountain area is located in southern Xinjiang, and the mountains are damp and cold in winter.

As they couldn't move freely in the cat ear cave, the soldiers were greatly depressed both physically and mentally.

In addition, the war did not stop for a long time, and the soldiers stayed in the cat ear cave for several months, and the fighting was extremely difficult.

Especially the cat ear cave located at the forefront of the position, the distance from the enemy may be only a dozen meters.

The enemy is cunning by nature, and if we are not careful, these "bastards" may infiltrate our positions.

Therefore, the soldiers watched their defense zone with trepidation almost every day and did not relax for a single day.

The reason why jungle warfare has become a recognized problem for the armies of countries around the world is that there are too many factors in the jungle that are not conducive to soldiers' combat.

The jungle is particularly famous for its humid climate.

When the M army fought in the Y war, they found that compared with the Y army's attack, the real enemy of the M soldiers was the jungle itself.

Even without the presence of the Y-Army, the tropical jungle itself is deadly enough.

Not to mention those unnamed poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, the abundant moisture in the air alone is enough to make the American soldiers exhausted.

At that time, there was an iron rule in the M Army combat units that soldiers must change into clean socks frequently to protect the health of their feet.

This is a lesson learned by the M Army with blood and tears.

In such a humid jungle environment, once the skin on the feet ulcers, the infection will quickly worsen.

It even developed to the point where amputation was necessary to save his life. Liu Zhiye knew that he could not take it lightly.

Even the front finger was well prepared.

At the Battle of L Mountain, Xia's army also experienced the power of the tropical jungle.

L Mountain is surrounded by rain and fog all year round, and the air humidity is extremely high. The clothes of the Xia army soldiers are hardly ever dry.

It would be even worse if it rained.

There are only two types of rain in the jungle: heavy rain and torrential rain. It won’t take long for the cat ear cave to be submerged.

But if you leave the cat ear cave rashly, you will most likely be attacked by the enemy.

The soldiers stationed in the Cat Ear Cave could only bite the bullet and soak in the rain.

Weapons, radios and other equipment must also be held above the head to prevent them from being damaged by water.

At night, we had to sleep in the puddles, which was extremely miserable.

Such an environment provides excellent living conditions for bacteria and viruses.

Soon, skin diseases became an occupational disease for Xia’s soldiers.

The most terrifying of these is the skin disease that the soldiers call "crotch rot".

For the young and energetic soldiers, having a crotch rot is more painful than death.

Soldiers with crotch rot cannot sit for long periods of time.

Otherwise the skin in the crotch will stick to the wet military uniform.

Once the pants are taken off, the pus and flesh under the skin will be torn off, and the scene is extremely tragic.

It is also accompanied by unbearable itching and severe pain.

If the epidermis is scratched again, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

As their leader, Liu Zhiye attached great importance to this situation.

Because skin diseases such as crotch rot have a great impact on the morale of the troops.

To help soldiers solve the problem of skin diseases.

At Liu Zhiye's call, a large number of female military doctors volunteered to go to the front line to treat the soldiers.

This was an extremely heroic act.

You must know that at this time the L Mountain war zone has become the area with the highest mine density in the world, which is very dangerous!
In order to guard against sneak attacks and infiltration by enemy agents, the Xia army deployed a large number of anti-infantry mines on the front line.

The enemy followed suit and began to lay mines.

With the joint efforts of both sides, the number of mines in the jungle has reached an outrageous level.

However, these military doctors ignored the danger and set out on the journey to the Cat Ear Cave without hesitation.

Among them, a female military doctor named Liu Shujuan is the most typical.

After Liu Shujuan risked her life to rush to the front line, the soldiers were very happy, thinking that their disease could finally be cured.

Liu Shujuan checked the soldiers' skin ulcers one by one and cleaned and changed their dressings.

Unexpectedly, when it came to the soldiers with crotch rot, they developed psychological barriers because of the affected part of the body.

Liu Shujuan had anticipated the soldiers' reactions and kindly called herself "big sister". She encouraged the soldiers to get treatment first.

Liu Shujuan's actions won the trust of the soldiers, and they began to actively cooperate with the treatment, saving countless soldiers who were suffering from skin diseases.

Let the troops rebuild their morale and resist the enemy's invasion.

In Liu Shujuan's view, what she did was nothing, and the soldiers who held their positions under difficult conditions were the greatest people.

In addition to Liu Shujuan, there are many female military doctors like her who have entered the front line of L Mountain.

They solved the soldiers' unspeakable problems amidst the enemy's sneak attacks and the threat of landmines.

Not only did it cure their diseases, but it also rebuilt the soldiers' confidence.

During this process, the female military doctors also made great sacrifices.

Because female military doctors often stay on the battlefield for several days.

Once discovered by the enemy, they will find ways to attack Xia Jun’s military doctors.

It would be fine if he unfortunately died on the battlefield.

If you are abducted by enemy agents, there is no guarantee that you will not be subjected to inhuman torture.

As women, they are as courageous as other women. Female military doctors are true heroines.

Liu Shujuan arrived at the front line during the counterattack.

At that time, their medical team encountered an enemy sneak attack while at the base.

Instead of being afraid, she faced it calmly and threw grenades at the enemy, successfully repelling the enemy's attack.

In the military, most people are gay, and there are fewer lesbians.

Liu Shujuan and several female comrades were particularly conspicuous in the army.

They are not pushovers either. In fact, they have already mastered the corresponding military skills and are not afraid of enemy attacks at all.

On this day, Liu Shujuan and Li Yaling were jointly responsible for guarding a simple military fortress on the mountain.

The extremely humid and hot environment here made Liu Shujuan and her colleagues miserable.

The enemy also sent agents from time to time to launch sudden sabotage operations against Xia's army.

Female comrades such as Liu Shujuan knew that in such a difficult combat environment, they could not afford to be careless.

Taking advantage of darkness, the enemy sent agents to launch a sneak attack on the military stronghold where Liu Shujuan and her colleagues were.

Fortunately, the enemy's whereabouts were discovered by the patrolling sentries, which gave everyone some time to prepare for the battle.

Faced with the enemy's attack, Liu Shujuan and her colleagues did not retreat, but took advantage of the favorable terrain and fought a desperate battle with the invading enemy.

Liu Shujuan and her colleagues followed the combat personnel, seized advantageous positions based on the terrain, and ambushed the enemy.

When Liu Shujuan saw the enemy, she decisively threw the five grenades in her hand.

"Boom boom boom..."

The enemy thought that there were many Xia troops stationed here, misjudged the situation, and did not dare to attack forward, so they could only retreat to the foot of the mountain in embarrassment.

For Liu Shujuan, such thrilling combat operations are nothing new.

In the later combat operations against the enemy, Liu Shujuan was responsible for rescuing the wounded in the rear.

But she felt that there were sufficient medical resources and personnel in the rear and the task was relatively easy.

It happened that Chief of Staff Liu Zhiye called on medical staff to go to the front line, so Liu Shujuan applied to the superior organization and leaders to work on the front line.

The higher-level organizations and leaders quickly approved Liu Shujuan's application and sent her to the front-line rescue center for support.

Everyone marched to the border with confidence that they would win, but when they arrived at the unfamiliar combat environment, the first thing the Xia army needed to overcome was often not the enemy, but the difficult combat environment.

Liu Shujuan followed the troops to the front line to fight and began to feel unwell.

But she had no complaints and continued to march forward and backward with the troops.

In order to hold their positions, the Xia army built fortifications in limited locations.

Because their shape resembles cat ears, these hidden spots built inside the cave are called "cat ear holes".

The cat cave was extremely narrow and crowded, and the soldiers could only squat or lie down inside.

They cannot stand up straight, and if they encounter an enemy attack, they can only fight the enemy outwards.

Such a harsh combat environment is also accompanied by extremely uncomfortable bursts of hot and humid weather. The unpredictable weather makes the combatants sometimes feel like they are in a sauna and sometimes like they are in the northern winter.

Faced with these difficult situations, the soldiers fighting on the front lines did not retreat.

Liu Shujuan, who had just arrived at the front line to provide support, encountered another emergency.

Comrade Sun Liang, a soldier who had been stationed in Maoer Cave for several days, was unfortunately hit by the enemy and seriously injured.

He had no choice but to be carried down from the tense and dangerous front-line battle by medical staff on a wooden stretcher stained with red blood.

Liu Shujuan used the medical first aid knowledge she had learned to continuously wrap bandages around Sun Liang and give him an IV in an orderly manner.

In order to ease the tension of the wounded, Liu Shujuan also did not forget to encourage them.

Liu Shujuan kept talking to Sun Liang to keep him conscious, which played a certain positive role in alleviating his condition.

In the narrow passage, Liu Shujuan and the medical staff could only use their weak bodies to carry the wounded.

The road under our feet is no longer a road, and the mud has wet everyone's feet.

Everyone gritted their teeth, persevered, encouraged each other, and successfully transferred the wounded to a safe location.

In addition to these emergencies, Liu Shujuan and her comrades also need to solve some problems in daily life.

In order to improve everyone's spirit and relieve tension;
Liu Shujuan also led everyone in singing and dancing, chatted with everyone, and promoted medical expertise in first aid.

She hopes these efforts can play a role in emergencies.

Soon, the combat team encountered difficulties as they were short of water.

The situation at that time was that there was no shop in front and no village behind, and the logistical support could not provide the soldiers with the urgently needed items in the first time.

In order to replenish urgently needed supplies, people can only adapt to local conditions and try every means to obtain precious water resources.

Liu Shujuan and her colleagues had a sudden inspiration and thought of using the awning on the top of the tent.

Just use this simple filtering device to get clean water.

Fortunately, there are more rainy seasons at this time, so people can get some scarce water resources.

When the soldiers were hungry, they dug some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs, and when they were tired, they lay down and rested for a while.

The environment was extremely difficult and harsh, but no one complained.

Liu Shujuan was from Liujiazhuang in the capital, and she was Liu Zhiye's cousin.

Liu Shujuan, who graduated from Jingcheng College in 73 with a degree in medical expertise, longed to contribute her youth and passion to the military one day.

So after graduation, Liu Shujuan signed up to join the army.

She became a female military doctor of the Second Guard Division of the Beijing Garrison District.

Although Liu Shujuan is a woman, she does not consider herself a woman.

Because of her good physical fitness, Liu Shujuan won the fourth place in a five-kilometer long-distance race.

Such a strong physique has won the admiration of many male comrades who have joined the army.

From then on, her comrades also got used to calling Liu Shujuan "tomboy".

Such a title is not a derogatory term for Liu Shujuan, but a recognition of her.

Before participating in the self-defense counterattack, Liu Shujuan had made sufficient preparations, and she also believed that she could handle some harsh combat tasks.

However, the sudden changes on the battlefield and the harsh combat environment made it difficult for many soldiers to adapt.

The humid and hot living environment of the cat ear caves easily attracts insects, mosquitoes and poisonous snakes, posing a threat to the soldiers' life safety.

The most important thing is that in such a small cave live not only female comrades such as Liu Shujuan, but also male soldiers responsible for defending against the enemy.

Cat ear caves are usually built on the high slopes of mountains based on the terrain and topography, where they are not easily discovered by the enemy.

The purpose of experiencing contradictions in this way is to detect the enemy's situation based on the height of the mountain slopes and prevent sudden attacks by the enemy.

It is also possible to quickly build fortifications within a limited time to reduce casualties among the People's Liberation Army.

Generally speaking, the cat ear cave can only accommodate 5 to 6 people, supporting the soldiers' life and fighting.

The light is dim in the narrow space, and people can only lower their heads or bend over to enter and exit.

Living in such an environment for a long time can easily cause depression, and in severe cases, may lead to skin diseases.

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the cat cave, as a defensive structure against the enemy, can be said to have been minimized as much as possible.

However, such a combat environment can easily cause soldiers' clothes, ammunition, etc. to become moldy, bringing many unfavorable factors to military combat.

In order to overcome the sultry weather, many male soldiers wore shorts or skirts to adapt to the extreme combat environment.

During the long-term battle, there was no condition for taking a shower.

It was difficult for the soldiers to wash their bodies and clothes, and due to some moldy clothes and food, there was often an unpleasant sour smell in the cave.

In the narrow space, even if it rained heavily, the soldiers could only helplessly let the cold rain water flood into the cave.

As a result, everyone can only rest in a humid environment. It is very difficult to get a good night's sleep on such a special day.

Some soldiers were bitten by mosquitoes and had many large and small blisters on their bodies. If not treated in time, they would develop serious skin diseases.

But at this time, the team's shortage of medical resources could not be solved in a short time.

Comrades Liu Shujuan and others could only use some folk remedies, such as going to the local mountains and forests to look for yam to treat the soldiers' diseases.

Liu Shujuan, who is responsible for rescuing others, has been helping everyone solve their illnesses on a daily basis.

But she herself will also encounter many difficulties.

When she has her menstrual period, she feels severe pain in her abdomen.

Breathing also becomes difficult, and these difficulties and pains are something men cannot experience.

Faced with these irresistible physical and mental pains, the strong and unyielding comrade Liu Shujuan buried them deep in her heart.

She did not withdraw from the battlefield easily, and still stayed where the soldiers needed her most.

At this moment, Liu Shujuan had already forgotten her own pain.

She just hoped that the soldiers could have good health to resist the enemy's attack and win the war as soon as possible.

Liu Shujuan was very happy every time she saw the soldiers' health improve under her treatment.

However, Liu Shujuan did not show any cowardly or fearful behavior when she went to the battlefield in an unfamiliar combat environment.

Instead, amid the sound of enemy artillery fire, they bravely rescued the injured soldiers one by one.

Being able to gain precious first aid time within a limited time is extremely valuable for the soldiers.

Sometimes when the wounded were carried to the emergency room, some soldiers had already lost their vital signs.

Even when she was rescuing the seriously injured, Liu Shujuan appeared extremely calm, without any fear or retreat.

For a medical emergency worker, saving lives and healing the wounded is their duty and responsibility.

Although there are many female comrades in the battlefield medical rescue team.

But their responsibilities include more than just rescuing the wounded.

They are also responsible for helping the wounded to resolve psychological barriers and teaching them some necessary first aid and self-rescue skills.

Despite such harsh living and fighting conditions, the Xia army soldiers in the cat ear cave still maintained a positive and optimistic spirit.

Everyone encouraged each other and truly became part of the collective.

Everyone would consciously leave the last piece of compressed dry food and the last drop of water for their comrades.

Willingly leave life to your comrades and leave death to yourself...

The stories of the soldiers fighting and living in cat-ear caves on the front battlefield aroused strong social repercussions after being reported back to the country through news reports.

The selfless spirit of the frontline soldiers greatly shocked people from all walks of life in the peaceful environment in the rear.

Learn from the commanders and fighters on the front line, carry forward the cat ear cave spirit, and make it a consistent action of the whole society.

After New Year’s Day in 80, the annual traditional Spring Festival is about to arrive.

Thousands of families sit together to eat dumplings and watch the Spring Festival Gala, with lights in every home, how peaceful it is!

Even under such difficult conditions, and in the face of the tests of life and death, pain and joy, the soldiers stationed in the "Cat Ear Cave" still maintained a spirit of revolutionary optimism.

The Spring Festival has arrived, and the soldiers created wonderful couplets with their infinite love for the motherland.

First Couplet: Guarding the border, there is sweetness in bitterness, bitterness in sweetness, one person’s hard work brings joy to thousands of people.

Second line: Protect the border, there is a flaw in the circle, and there is a circle in the flaw. If one family is not perfect, all families will be perfect.

Horizontal banner: Enjoy it...
