Section 47 Combat

  The 47th Regiment's Battle

  Compared with the foot of the mountain, the night on the mountain often comes later, even when a blizzard is approaching, people on the mountain can always gain some time compared to those at the foot of the mountain.

  However, there are also disadvantages on the mountain, that is, the wind and snow on the mountain are greater than anywhere else, and it is more difficult to walk.

  After Chen Kehe and Battalion Commander Xiao Xiangdong went down the mountain first, Su Yang, the instructor of Sentry Post X392, also organized his troops and led them down the mountain. Yingzi Kou, Shan Kaozi, and Ba La are all must-pass roads for vehicles going up the mountain, and they are also the most dangerous sections.

  The main peak where the X392 sentinel is located is not relatively high, mainly because the nearby snow-capped mountains are relatively gentle in slope, so the real mountain climbing only counts when it reaches the foot of the main peak.

  The main peak and the foot of the mountain are only 150 meters apart, but because the main peak is very large, the winding road around the mountain is nearly one kilometer long. Eagle's Mouth, Mountain Fork, and Eight Rafters are all in relatively high terrain above 80 meters, with strong winds and difficult passage. Although falling down isn't a precipice of thousands of feet, it can still result in destruction of the vehicle and loss of life.

  This was not the first time Su Yang led the team, after temporarily dividing the troops into four working groups, except for the group that stayed behind to guard, he led three groups of soldiers to rush down the mountain, preparing to guard a dangerous place with each working group.

  "Everyone, let's work hard and don't lose to the blizzard, transportation disruptions, or Xiao Xiangdong."

  Plodding through the heavy snow, what was called running was only slightly faster than walking. Although he didn't know what the situation was like at the foot of the mountain, Su Yang knew that the blizzard had already arrived near the X392 outpost.

  The new snow on the road was already over ten centimeters thick, and although the wooden shovel could quickly clear the accumulated snow, it would be covered again by the new flying snow in an instant. So Su Yang and the others didn't stay on the road at all, only preparing to help the transportation team's vehicles open the way forward after arriving at a few main road sections.

  As for the slogans he shouted out of his own mouth, Su Yang didn't care whether they were excessive or not. At any time when mobilizing the enthusiasm of the troops, there must be a certain degree of targeting, although Xiao Xiangdong was indeed the squad leader of the X392 sentry post, but there were many soldiers who had opinions about him, and the main reason was still due to Xiao Xiangdong's unchanging arrogance.

  So as long as it's possible, as long as Xiao Dong is not around, not losing to Xiao Dong is the most inspiring slogan in X392 sentry post.

  "Ah! Don't worry, instructor, we absolutely won't lose to that young master."

  As expected, a loud shout soon spread through the team, and their footsteps quickened. The sound of trampling on the snow was no longer a soft "crunch, crunch", but a heavy "thud, thud" that began to reverberate on the mountain path.

  Leaving a work team at Shankouzi to clear the snow and sweep away the ice, after the local blockade was lifted, Suyang began to lead the remaining two work teams forward.

  "Woooo!"

  The troops had not yet arrived at Yingzi Kou when they heard the whistling sound coming from the opposite direction, which is the main reason why Yingzi Kou got its name.

  Due to the terrain, the curvature near Yingzi Kou is not only over 60 degrees, and with the mountain trend, it is also windy all year round, emitting a howling sound like an eagle's cry. The first time soldiers come to the X392 sentry post, they are often startled by the howling sound near Yingzi Kou, as if they have entered a desolate and uninhabited region.

  Against the wind to Eagle's Mouth, Su Yang was ready to cross over Eagle's Mouth and then proceed with the task of deploying troops, because he still had to take a look at the wind and snow conditions at Eagle's Mouth.

  Having bypassed the most treacherous section of Eagle's Mouth, although the blizzard blowing in his face was still very fierce, Su Yang felt a slight relief in his heart. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary on this stretch of road ahead, and the snow accumulation appeared to be relatively light.

  "Everyone, let's go! Prepare to gather and regroup at the front."

  He turned around and shouted loudly. Although the number of people in the team was limited, he knew that he couldn't be careless, and as long as there was an opportunity, he would carry out a team-building exercise. This could not only strengthen the cohesion of the troops but also bring a sense of security to the soldiers.

  "Be careful, instructor."

  The sudden cry of surprise also made Su Yang's heart jump in shock, because at the same time as the cry came, he felt his body start to fly outwards from the mountain path.

  Although the road surface nearby was also over ten meters wide, the sudden feeling of weightlessness that came to Su Yang's body made him somewhat shocked and discolored. Why did the wind direction change suddenly? Because he turned sideways to boost morale, he himself was not prepared for the change in wind direction, the mountain body in his line of sight had already begun to move away from him, and his body was also drifting out of the mountain road under the strong wind.

  "Plop!"

  For the safety of the troops, Su Yang arranged the formation of the team to be extremely dense. Even if the speed might be slower, he required all soldiers to stay within arm's reach. So, right behind him was also X392 sentry post's slowest and largest Western Zha, in order to adjust the advancing speed of the team.

  After a dull thud, Su Yang saw Xiza's body pounce towards him. As Xiza landed on the snow surface, he finally grabbed his own left foot.

  "Cheers!"

  Although Xiza's efforts once again caused Su Yang to lose his balance, by borrowing the only fulcrum of Xiza grabbing his left foot, Su Yang also hastily stepped on his right foot on the ground and deliberately fell onto the snowy ground, reducing the thrust brought by the windward side.

  However, even so, perhaps because the wind was too strong, or perhaps because Xiza's pounce was too fierce, the two bodies were still sliding out of the mountain road after falling to the ground.

  "Director! Xizha!"

  As Su Yang and Xi Zha encountered danger, the soldiers behind them also rushed up, not only holding onto Xi Zha's body but also pulling one another to finally stop the two from sliding away.

  The wind and snow were still blowing fiercely, and Su Yang was quickly blinded. But when he felt his body being slowly dragged back by the warrior, he didn't dare to be careless at all. Now is absolutely not the time for him to show off, it's time to rely on others, now he can only increase the pressure on the warrior and Xiza if he moves randomly.

  "Come on, pull the instructor back."

  Listening to the mutual encouragement and shouts of Xiza and the warriors, Su Yang felt a warmth in his heart. This was not only because he was about to be rescued, but also because of the unity of X392 sentry post.

  The blizzard showed no signs of slowing down, and from the rescue of Su Yang onwards, X392 sentry post had begun its own battle against the blizzard.
