Chapter 32 Emergency Evacuation

  Cheng Feng opened his headset again, but there was only a "zzt zzt zzt" sound inside. It seemed that the radio interference had not been shielded yet.

  "Xiao Zhang, quickly go and get Lin Yi, I have an urgent matter to discuss with him." Cheng Feng said to the communication officer beside him.

  "Yes", Little Zhang answered quickly and ran off swiftly.

  Lin Yi panted and ran over in just a few minutes.

  "Reporting to Commander Lin, Lin Yi reported." Lin Yi said with a salute to Cheng Feng and Old Li.

  "Lin Yi, you and Old Li come here, I have something to tell you," Cheng Feng said, pulling Lin Yi and Old Li to a quiet spot.

  "Lin Yi, I'm asking you, are you a person who doesn't care about eight trigrams?" Cheng Feng asked.

  "Report to Commander, why are you asking me this?" Lin Yi was somewhat perplexed.

  "Never mind all that, I'm just asking you, Lin Yi, are you a soldier of the Eighth Route Army?" Cheng Feng continued.

  "Report to Commander Lin, I am a soldier of the 8th Company!" Lin Yi replied loudly.

  "Lin Yi, you are a soldier of the 8th Company, so you must follow the discipline of the 8th Company, right?" Cheng Feng continued to ask.

  "Yes, Commander Lin Yit has decided to obey the task and follow orders."

  "Alright, listen to me, I have a command for you, and you must complete it, even if it costs your own life. Can you do that?" Cheng Feng continued to ask.

  "No problem at all, I guarantee to complete the task."

  "Immediately organize the remaining infantry armored vehicles, Yang Junyi and Li Jun, as well as Li Yan, to load all wounded soldiers, and those who are inconvenient to move, and send them to a safe area. Absolutely ensure the safety of medical personnel and the wounded, while trying to contact the forward command post, we currently cannot contact them." Cheng Feng ordered.

  "Yes, it's a long one, but I'm afraid I won't be able to carry out this task. Please choose someone else to execute it," Lin Yi replied.

  "Why?" Old Li interrupted.

  "Because I cannot leave you and the warriors of the Eighth Route Army behind, to live or die together," Lin Yi replied firmly.

  "No way, didn't you just say that you're a good soldier of the 8th company? Then I'm ordering you to execute the command immediately!" Cheng Feng said sternly.

  "Company Commander, I'm sorry, but on this matter I refuse to obey. I am a good soldier of the 8th Company, but the 8th Company has no cowardly soldiers who fear death, and I won't go."

  "You must leave, you can't take them with you, we won't be at peace, even if we die, our eyes will not close" Old Li said excitedly.

  "Deputy Commander Li, I really can't carry out this order, I have been ordered to be with you all."

  "Who gave you this kind of crappy order?" has become a popular phrase.

  "Report to Commander Lian, was it someone else who gave me this order? Was it the leader of the vanguard, your father?" Lin Yi said, glancing at Cheng Feng with his eyes.

  "Fart, I don't care whose order it is, you must execute my orders, lead the wounded and Yang Junyi and the old villagers to retreat together. Now I am a captain, my military rank is higher than yours, you must obey. We will cover for you." Cheng Feng raised his voice, he didn't want to know why his father would give Lin Yi such an order.

  "Commander, let someone else go, I really can't execute this order," Lin Yi said, standing upright and looking into the distance without even glancing at Cheng Feng.

  "Lin Yi, I'm telling you for the last time. If you disobey orders and don't show respect, I'll enforce battlefield discipline." Cheng Feng was thoroughly enraged.

  "You can shoot me if you want, I'm not leaving" Lin Yi and Cheng Feng got into a deadlock.

  "You little brat, I'm going to kill you!" Cheng Feng said, his anger surging as he reached for his gun.

  "Lin Yi, let's go, let's go!" Old Li saw this and came over to pull Lin Yi away.

  Lin Yi struggled, but refused to leave. Old Li gave a signal to the nearby communications officer, Little Zhang, who ran over and helped Old Li carry Lin Yi towards the dressing station.

  "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving, I'm not a coward, I want to be with you all" Lin Yi was carried away, shouting loudly as he walked.

  "Cheng Feng, what are you doing, shouting so loudly?" A sweet female voice came over, and Cheng Feng knew that Qian Qian had arrived.

  As he turned his head, Cheng Feng saw a "bloody person" standing in front of him. He didn't know when the familiar figure from head to toe was covered with blood. The originally white medical uniform was stained with blood everywhere, some places had already coagulated and turned black, while others were still bright red.

  A pair of hands wearing surgical gloves were also covered in blood, the only thing that wasn't was the familiar deep black eyes looking at him, but the beautiful and charming big eyes that Cheng Feng saw had already been filled with bloodshot, it seemed that Qianqian had been working for a long time, probably not resting all night, seeing this, Cheng Feng's heart felt a little bit of hidden pain.

  "Qianqian, the situation is urgent now, I have a request, you must do it." Cheng Feng said with deep feeling, looking at Qianqian.

  "What's going on? You're not asking me to leave, are you?" Cici seemed to know what Chengfeng wanted to say.

  "Qianqian, it's like this, you and the wounded and fellow villagers should withdraw first, we'll stay behind to cover for you, and ensure your safe retreat," Cheng Feng said with deep emotion as he looked into her eyes.

  "Cheng Feng, I can't withdraw, if I withdraw, what will happen to you all?" Zi Zi replied.

  "No way, you must withdraw. The enemy may break through our defense line at any time, and then no one can escape." Cheng Feng continued to say.

  "It's not going to work, I won't leave, you let Lin Yi and Li Jun take the wounded villagers with them, I'll stay behind, I want to be with you" Xixi said, revealing a hint of unease.

  "Qianqian, listen, you guys go first, I guarantee I'll be right behind. When have I ever lied to you, huh?" Chengfeng said, his eyes getting a little moist.

  Cheng Feng and Xiao Xiao grew up together since they were young. Although Cheng Feng is a few years older than Xiao Xiao, this little girl has always liked to play with him, every day she would follow him around like a shadow, with two small braids, her face red as she played war games with him like a boy.

  Qianqian's father works in the military region, he is Father's old comrade-in-arms and also former sworn brothers. Originally when Dad was the regimental commander, Qianqian's father was the political commissar, because the two families lived very close to each other. So when Chengfeng and Qianqian were young, they often stayed at each other's homes when their parents were away for exercises or something.

  Chengfeng actually liked Qianqian very much, when someone bullied Qianqian in childhood, Chengfeng would fight with others for Qianqian, his straightforward personality often beat others until they were bleeding, of course, when he got home and was discovered by his own father, he would definitely get a belt whipping, for this, Chengfeng didn't know how many times he was beaten by his own father, but every time after being beaten, Chengfeng would receive Qianqian's secretly sent chocolate or beef jerky.
