From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

Chapter 209 Bai Tiejun undergoes surgery
Wu Liuyi, who grew up in the countryside, was already good at cooking wild game. He also honed his skills in the army and his techniques became even more sophisticated.

It was so easy to dig out the mouse hole. I found two in no time.

With skillful techniques, he cut off the head, peeled off the skin, cut open the belly and took out the internal organs. Two large lumps of bloody, still steaming meat appeared in front of everyone.

It didn't take much effort to catch the mouse, and it only took a few minutes to disembowel it.

But when it came time to eat, something went wrong.

Chengcai is a person who can make any effort to achieve his goal. For the dream of promotion promised by Chen Jun, a mere rat meat can't stop him.

Even though the rat meat was bloody and disgusting, he just grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xu Sanduo himself doesn't have so many thoughts.

Seeing his squad leader Wu Liuyi taking the lead in eating, and his good friend Chengcai, who was also the deputy squad leader from the same village, also eating, he instinctively felt that he should eat too.

So he took the piece of meat from Wu Liuyi, put it in his mouth, tilted his head back and swallowed it.

Although it tasted very fishy and made people feel like vomiting instinctively, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader did not vomit, and Xu Sanduo felt that he could not vomit either.

The mind is so simple.

Bai Tiejun has always been overly cautious, always thinking only of saving his life. His fear of death is well-known in the class.

But when it came to eating rat meat, he became the most active.

This is quite consistent with his personality.

As long as I can survive and keep my life, everything is fine.

Only Gan Xiaoning was particularly resistant. No matter what he did, he couldn't eat it. He felt nauseous and wanted to vomit just by looking at it, and his stomach ached just by smelling it.

Wu Liuyi was still thinking about persuading him, so he took out his "Never Abandon, Never Give Up" to provoke him.

As a result, Gan Xiaoning spoke directly.

If you really want to join Team A, you will fight hard. But I'm different. I just came here out of curiosity. I don't want to fight hard for this crappy Team A.

I think our 7th Steel Company is pretty good.

Last time we fought him to a draw. Next time if we fight against Team A, our 7th Steel Company will definitely defeat him.

I won't bring shame to the 7th Steel Company, and I won't eat this disgusting stuff.

I will hold on as long as I can.

Gan Xiaoning has said so much, this is his own choice, Wu Liuyi really can't say anything more, he can only let him do what he wants.

He, Xu Sanduo, Chengcai and Bai Tiejun continued to eat, and finished all the two mice for the sake of physical strength.

Uncooked rat meat tastes terrible and doesn't contain much energy, but when he eats it, it fills his stomach.

My stomach is no longer growling with hunger and my body suddenly feels much more energetic.

"Let's go on our way."

After barely filling his stomach and drinking up the remaining water in the bottle, Wu Liuyi continued to lead the team and head towards the destination.

A person can survive seven days without food, but only three days without water.

The bottle of water I brought with me when I set out yesterday was all consumed while eating the rat meat.

The 7th Steel Company team, which has run out of water, now faces a new difficulty. They must find a water source as soon as possible to ensure that they can complete their reconnaissance mission.

Otherwise, after running all day, the large amount of water lost through sweating would make them all exhausted.

In a state of exhaustion, combat effectiveness drops dramatically.

By then, not to mention completing the reconnaissance mission and avoiding the pursuit of the reconnaissance camp, I'm afraid walking will become a problem, and even standing up will be difficult.

The old As are obviously aware of this situation and are even more aware of how scarce water resources are on the Loess Plateau.

So they did not guard the road intersections, but instead focused on the water tanks placed in various areas for providing water to wild animals and herders.

In order to protect the ecology of wild animals and herdsmen's livestock grazing, the state has built many public welfare facilities.

Among them are various large cement tanks placed on the Loess Plateau in areas with relatively scarce water resources, which are periodically filled with water transported by water trucks.

Wu Liuyi and the others didn't know that Lao A was so insidious. When they saw the water tank on the road, they immediately ran over to fill up water.

As a result, he was attacked by Old A.

He had already lost his ability to hold on, and all he needed was Gan Xiaoning to help him exit with dignity, so he decided to take this opportunity to do his best.

He stayed behind to cover Wu Liuyi and others and buy time for them to evacuate.

In addition, the two Old A's who were on duty did not use force, otherwise, with their shooting skills, Wu Liuyi and others would have lost at least two or three people in the first wave of attacks.

Wu Liuyi, Chengcai and others also knew that this was Gan Xiaoning's own choice.

Have a legitimate reason to eliminate yourself.

So they didn't waste any time and immediately returned along the same route to keep some distance between them and leave as quickly as possible to avoid being caught by Old A.

Only Xu Sanduo was too naive and stupid, and so immersed in the role that he didn't see Gan Xiaoning's thoughts.

Along the way, I was very excited and wanted to save people.

The situation was too tense and there was no time to explain. Wu Liuyi could only give compulsory orders as the squad leader and forced Xu Sanduo to retreat.

It was not until they had run for half an hour and completely evacuated to a safe location that Wu Liuyi explained to Xu Sanduo.

Xu Sanduo was so immersed in the play that he didn't understand much. He didn't expect that there were so many complicated things in it. All he could do was touch his head and smile foolishly.

The large team from the 7th Steel Company was reduced to the last four people.

At this moment, everyone knew very well that Team A would only choose three people to take away, and there must be others who wanted to leave.

But now it’s not the last moment, and no one wants to expose this.

Moreover, Chengcai and Wu Liuyi had orders. Although neither of them knew that the other had received orders, they both had the same idea in their minds at this moment.

There are reasons to go.

So the two of them were very determined at this time, that is, they must persevere to the end.

Only Xu Sanduo and Bai Tiejun are uncertain.

They are both completely free now, and outsiders don't know why they came to participate in the selection and assessment of Team A.

Bai Tiejun didn't say that, and neither did Xu Sanduo.

It was in this subtle mood that the four of them persisted until dark.

Wu Liuyi estimated that they must have run seventy or eighty kilometers in the past two days, and their destination must be not far away.

I decided not to rest tonight, and I rushed over overnight to find the reconnaissance point and complete the reconnaissance mission in the dark.

Then reach the evacuation point before dawn.

The sooner they arrive at the evacuation point, the better, to prevent someone from arriving before them and grabbing the spot in advance, causing them to be eliminated in the end.

Chengcai must join the training and selection of Team A, so he supports Wu Liuyi's decision without hesitation.

The squad leader and the deputy squad leader have already expressed their opinions. It is no longer meaningful whether Xu Sanduo and Bai Tiejun express their opinions or not. The group of four continues on their journey.

This walk lasted for several hours and soon it was midnight.

The tranquility of the traveling team was broken by an accident.

Bai Tiejun suddenly felt a severe stomachache!
Bai Tiejun is about 1.6 meters tall and weighs about 100 kilograms. He is thinner than Xu Sanduo and has the worst physique among the four.

After two days of hunger, we were very weak. In the afternoon, we were very thirsty. We passed a cement pit and drank a few sips of water from it. In addition, it was very cold in the middle of the night, and the cold wind made our bones ache.

With so many situations happening at the same time, Bai Tiejun, who doesn't have the super physical bug like Xu Sanduo, doesn't know what went wrong.

After all, I was hungry and thirsty, and my physical condition was weakened, so I caught a cold from the cold wind in the middle of the night.

Or maybe it was because the water I drank in the afternoon was not clean and I had an upset stomach, which caused the abdominal pain.

Or maybe an inflammation like appendicitis.

Wu Liuyi and others who were unable to make any judgment saw that Bai Tiejun's face was pale with pain, cold sweat was pouring down his face, and his lips were trembling.

It is certain that Bai Tiejun’s condition is not optimistic and he must be sent for treatment as soon as possible.

So he did not follow Bai Tiejun's wishes. In order to ensure Bai Tiejun's safety, Wu Liuyi took out the smoke stick and directly unscrewed it.

"Pfft~"

White smoke rose up.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Wu Liuyi also made a second-hand guarantee. He took out Bai Tiejun's gun and fired a volley of bullets into the air.

"Da da da……"

The gunshots were particularly harsh and loud in the quiet night.

The sound can be heard at least several kilometers away!

"Let's go, let's go quickly, we have done our best, there is nothing else we can do."

After Wu Liuyi completed all this, he immediately ordered the team to set out again and get as far away from here as possible in the shortest time possible.

Otherwise, when the reconnaissance battalion or Old A arrives, the three of them will become sitting ducks.

Chengcai stood up and followed without hesitation.

Only Xu Sanduo seemed reluctant to leave. After carefully explaining various things, he followed Chengcai away, looking back every few steps.

"I can only go so far. The Seventh Steel Company... The Seventh Steel Company depends on you. Come on."

Even though Bai Tiejun was in so much pain that his eyes were dizzy, he still offered his only blessing as he looked at the backs of Wu Liuyi and others as they left.

Although he didn't want to join the A team, he and Bart had one thing in common.

That is we cannot lose face for the 7th Steel Company!
As a member of the most powerful company of the 702nd Regiment, even if they all said that they were just here for fun, each of them was doing their best to maintain the honor that belongs to the 7th Steel Company.

Just like what Wu Liuyi said -

The soldiers from the 7th Steel Company are always top notch wherever they go!
……

Wu Liuyi's personal judgment was correct. The command camp was indeed not far away from here, with a straight-line distance of less than ten kilometers.

However, even though it is only ten kilometers away, the gunfire here cannot be heard.

And there is no smoke at night.

Fortunately, there was a checkpoint deployed by the reconnaissance battalion less than 2 kilometers away, and they rushed over as soon as they heard the gunshots.

Seeing that Bai Tiejun's face was pale with pain, he was immediately sent to the headquarters.

A medical rescue vehicle was already prepared here. After the military doctor's preliminary diagnosis, it was confirmed to be acute appendicitis, and the patient was sent to the division field hospital overnight.

Bai Tiejun also broke his personal record.

Many players were injured in this selection, but most of them suffered skin injuries. Bai Tiejun was the only one who was sent to a field hospital for surgery during the selection.

Although appendicitis is not a major surgery and many people would have it removed even if they were healthy, the hospital still notified the 7th Steel Company.

Chen Jun, Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo quickly rushed to the hospital to visit Bai Tiejun.

When we arrived, the operation was already completed.

Bai Tiejun’s anesthesia has almost recovered.

Bai Tiejun was extremely flattered to see three company cadres coming together, and he almost jumped out of bed to salute and greet them.

Bai Tiejun has been in the army for such a long time, but has never received this level of treatment.

but.

It's painful and happy.

Because Gao Cheng, a rough guy, was very direct, he came in and patted Bai Tiejun on the shoulder and started praising him, without noticing that Bai Tiejun wanted to call out but didn't dare to, and had to force a smile.

Bai Tiejun was almost turned into tinplate due to the pain!
Fortunately, Chen Jun discovered something was wrong in time and reminded Gao Cheng that he had just finished surgery. This made Gao Cheng come to his senses and stop the unintentional torture in time.

"Good job, you did a great job."

Chen Jun only gave Bai Tiejun a few simple words, but Bai Tiejun was so moved that his eyes turned red, and he felt that everything he had done was worth it.

The remaining instructor, Hong Xingguo, was different. He talked for a long time.

As expected of a political worker, he has a great eloquence.

……

Chen Jun and two other people were visiting Bai Tiejun in the hospital. It was already past four in the morning, and there were less than two hours left until dawn.

At this moment, Wu Liuyi and his two companions finally saw the hope of victory through their persistence.

Chengcai was staggering in front. The cold night wind made his throat extremely dry and uncomfortable. He swallowed hard several times before he climbed up a small slope.

Just as he climbed up the small hill, Chengcai saw the scene before him.

My eyes suddenly widened!
All the tiredness and discomfort along the way turned into excitement at this moment.

Because he saw a small lake in front of him, and on the land opposite the small kettle, he could clearly see a position under the bright moonlight.

Aren’t these the reference objects that Yuan Lang mentioned when we set out?

Chengcai was so excited that he almost screamed, but he was stunned for several seconds before he reacted. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, he quickly lay down.

This made Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo, who were walking behind, think that there was some danger ahead.

They also nervously lay on the ground!

"What's going on? Chengcai, is there any situation?" Wu Liuyi asked anxiously in a low voice.

"Squad leader, three idiots, haha, we won, we succeeded, the position is ahead, haha, we found the position."

Chengcai forced himself to lower his voice, but still couldn't hide his surging excitement.

"Have you found the position?"

Wu Liuyi and Xu Sanduo, who were also exhausted and staggering as they walked, became excited when they heard the talented person's words.

The originally dry body regained strength, and crawled along the ground and came to the small slope.

Look ahead.

All three of them grinned.

It was just as Chengcai said, a bubble of water appeared in front of them, behind the bubble was a position, and next to it was a forest.

As long as they finish scouting the position in front of them, they can then cross the woods next to it.

They will be able to complete this assessment!!
They began to rush towards a whole new world, with their own life goals and tasks, and started a new life belonging to the three of them.
