Bright Sword: I am the old squad leader of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle

Early the next morning, the soldiers who raided Heishui County returned under the leadership of Ling Yunzhi.

This time, not only did they bring back people, but they also brought back 20 horses, oceans, gold bars, and a lot of light and heavy weapons.

In addition to these, there are two radio stations.

"Ding Wei, have you contacted your superiors?"

Ding Wei nodded repeatedly: "The main force has been on the march for five days. Our superiors asked us to catch up quickly."

"I wonder if our surfboards have been built yet."

“It’s almost finished.”

Suddenly, strong winds arose, and dark clouds rolled across the sky.

Ten minutes later, heavy rain poured down from the sky without stopping.

Ling Yunzhi and his team quickly returned to the regiment.

Li Yunlong looked at the heavy rain and said, "Old squad leader, I'm afraid we can't leave today."

Ding Wei wiped the rain off his forehead and said, "This damn weather is really life-threatening.

The sky was clear early in the morning.”

Kong Jie continued to smoke his mulberry leaves: "Well, I have to stay here for another two days."

Ling Yunzhi looked at the dark clouds in the sky. He knew it was a thunderstorm and the rain was coming down quickly and going away quickly.

"Brothers, let's go as soon as the rain stops."

"Old squad leader, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Many soldiers are trapped in the large grassland ahead. They are poorly clothed and hungry. The sooner we leave, the more lives we can save."

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly. In less than two hours, the heavy rain stopped.

"Load all the surfboards in the car and leave now."

"Bring enough food."

"All wounded men mount their horses."

"Those weapons and equipment that can be placed on horseback should be placed on horseback."

Orders were passed down quickly.

Half an hour later, the huge team headed towards the Songpan grassland.

Two hours of thunderstorms turned the Songpan grassland into a watery land.

Yesterday, the Songpan grassland looked lush and green.

Today, the Songpan grassland has been covered by rain.

The rain stopped and the meadow was covered with mist again.

Only tall grass and trees appeared above the water.

"Follow the trail left by the team ahead of him." Ling Yunzhi gave the order quickly.

The troops were walking along the haystacks. As the Red Army troops of tens of thousands of people walked across this large grassland, a lot of the grass had been trampled and bent, and the traces were obvious.

Everyone unloaded the modified surfboard from the horse's back.

They stepped on surfboards with their feet, carried equipment on their backs, and used bamboo poles to support themselves as they moved forward.

These five or six hundred surfboards are like five or six hundred small boats.

A gust of wind blew over, it was a strong wind and it was a tailwind.

"Brothers, put up those sails and save as much energy as possible."

"Yes……"

The five or six hundred war horses marched along the haystacks, and the hundreds of surfboards hoisted their sails.

Although the sails are not big, the strong wind can easily make the speed of these surfboards reach 20 to 30 yards.

This is much better than the soldiers stepping deep and shallow in the swamp.

Walking in this huge swamp with one foot deep and one foot shallow is not only extremely dangerous, but also extremely exhausting.

The further forward you go, the more you can see the bodies of soldiers left behind by the troops in front.

"Slow down and see if there is anyone alive?" Ling Yunzhi yelled.

There were many soldiers lying along the way.

The faces of these soldiers were pale. They had been soaked from head to toe after a night of heavy rain.

Ling Yunzhi folded the sail and rowed in front of the soldiers with a bamboo pole.

"Comrade, wake up."

"Comrade, wake up..."

Ling Yunzhi called out more than ten times before someone slowly opened his eyes.

"I can't do it anymore. I can't walk out of this big meadow."

"We couldn't walk any more. We hadn't eaten for days, and the only fried buckwheat noodles we had in our pockets had been eaten up."

A soldier was biting on half a burnt belt.

In these difficult times, hunger always accompanied these brave soldiers.

They peeled tree bark, dug grass roots, picked up tree leaves, ate wild grass, and when they couldn't get any more, they ate leather shoes and belts.

The soldiers set their shoes and belts on fire.

After it is softened, put it in your mouth and eat it.

The food was hard to swallow and one belt was enough to keep them going for a week.

"Eat something first." Ling Yunzhi looked at the skinny soldier and quickly took out yak jerky.

"Li Yunlong, take out all the food. Let the brothers eat something first."

Li Yunlong quickly slid in front of them on his surfboard.

"Don't worry, brothers. We are here to get you out safely."

A faint cry for help was heard not far away.

Ling Yunzhi quickly rushed over on his surfboard.

A female warrior slipped into the swamp, and the black mud in the swamp had already reached her waist.

The inexperienced female warrior was exhausted, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

"Don't move, don't move." Ling Yunzhi rushed over quickly. The female soldier had sunk to her chest.

Ling Yunzhi quickly handed over the bamboo pole in his hand: "Hold on to the bamboo pole, I will pull you up."

The female warrior was exhausted, and her hands were soaked by the mud and water in the swamp, so she couldn't hold the bamboo pole at all.

The female soldier grabbed the bamboo pole, and Ling Yunzhi exerted some force and the pole slipped out of the soldier's hand.

Ling Yunzhi had no way to paddle over quickly, so he simply grabbed the female warrior's hands and pulled her out of the mud.

The female warrior was lying in the mud, gasping for breath.

"Take a break and eat something to regain your strength." Ling Yunzhi opened the kettle, which was full of beef soup.

"Have some beef soup first."

Ling Yunzhi looked at the pretty female warrior. She didn't even have the strength to hold the bamboo pole. One could imagine how weak her body was.

After eating some food that strengthened their strength, everyone regained some strength.

After more than two hours of surfing, everyone's surfing skills became better and better, and they were surfing faster and faster.

With the help of the wind, they could easily increase the speed of the surfboard to more than 30 yards.

"All the wounded and sick should be put on horseback. If even the war horses cannot be ridden, use our surfboards."

"Brothers, we have to move faster. The further we go, the more soldiers there will be who need our help."

According to historical records, more than 20,000 brave soldiers fell on the Songpan grassland.

These are the elites of our army. They have acquired extremely rich combat experience and strong combat effectiveness along the way.

It's one that can be saved.
