Chapter 668 323: Zhao Yimeng: Do You Understand the Road I've Traveled? (Part 4)

Just as Liang Erxi was exasperated, a soldier came forward.

After just a quick glance, he confidently pointed to a location on the map:

"We are right here at this position, don't worry, there's no mistake."

Liang Erxi compared this position and found it precise; we couldn't help but glance at him twice.

This soldier was one of those who joined Second Company before departure yesterday.

We only thought he was a regular reinforcement, but didn't expect he had such skills.

Once we reported the position, the battalion commander spoke anxiously, "Too slow! Your speed is too slow! Increase your pace, advance faster!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the call ended, Liang Erxi immediately ordered the entire company: "Throw away all unnecessary items, backpacks, unused clothes, everything!"

"Advance platoon comrades continue to pave the way ahead, the rest carry ammunition, we need to pick up the pace!"

All soldiers executed Liang Erxi's instructions without hesitation.

No doubt, Liang Erxi's operational experience in this area is commendable.

Once the unnecessary items were discarded, the company's pace increased by more than forty percent.

After all was done, Liang Erxi finally had the chance to ask that soldier: "Where were you transferred from?"

"Beiping."

"What's your name?"

"At this critical moment, what's the use of knowing names? We can get acquainted at the victory banquet if we survive. I came from Beiping, just call me 'Beiping'."

This self-proclaimed "Beiping" young soldier was tall and had delicate features.

His big eyes were quite lively, making him appear extremely alert.

"Alright, then I'll call you 'Xiaobeiping' from now on. Stick by my side from here on."

Liang Erxi only felt immense satisfaction towards Xiaobeiping; he needed such functional soldiers by his side.

We resumed our forced march, encountering two more ambushes along the way.

Just as the first time, Liang Erxi led the troops to suppress with firepower, while the other soldiers continued rapid marching.

Our pace kept accelerating; we truly raced desperately towards Hill 323.

Naturally, during this process, we constantly received inquiries from higher command about our position.

Without a doubt, upon learning our position each time, they frowned and urged us to further increase speed.

By around three in the afternoon, the battalion commander contacted us again.

Under Xiaobeiping's guidance, we quickly found our position on the map.

Upon Liang Erxi's report of the position, the battalion commander instantly flared up: "The top commander is very dissatisfied with your speed! Are you snails? Are you moving or not!"

"If you don't arrive by the specified time, you're going to military court! Where's Zhao Yimeng, bring Zhao Yimeng over here!"

I was just beside Liang Erxi, he made room for me to communicate.

"Zhao Yimeng! You know your situation, especially your conduct before the battle!"

"The division commander specifically inquired about you. Pay attention to yourself!"

"Remember! Incitement is a top-tier crime. Think clearly, or after the battle, washing in the Yellow River won't clear you!"

Listening to the battalion commander's words, my scalp went numb.

Liang Erxi hurriedly pushed me aside, almost yelling:

"Battalion commander, incitement is important, but even military court is for the living!"

"We don't have time to waste here. Any other orders, tell us quickly!"

"Liang Erxi! Mind your attitude, there are rules even on the battlefield, breach them, and penalties apply despite achievements!"

The communication was quickly terminated.

Soon, Wang Wenxi, responsible for covering us, rushed over, just in time to hear those words.

He also erupted in anger: "Damn it, always about field records, field records, all they know is documenting! Let them come do it!"

"Always talking about military court, fine, I might as well not fight up front, send me directly!"

"They only know to point at maps, but are we walking straight lines on maps? Let them open their eyes and see, is this a path for humans? Is this a mountain humans can climb?"

"I @#*¥%"

"Wang Wenxi! Watch your words!"

Liang Erxi's neck veins seemed to breathe, pulsating.

Then, Liang Erxi issued another order: "Other than weapons and ammunition, each person keeps only rations for two meals; don't throw away canteens, canteens mustn't be discarded! Throw everything else away!"

When we reached the designated location, golden stars clouded my vision, and I couldn't distinguish where we were at all.

Collapse onto the ground, calves unresponsive, constantly cramping.

Liang Erxi energetically helped me up, making me perform relieving exercises.

Simultaneously, he shouted to all company soldiers: "No one sits down! Stand up! Help each other out, move your muscles!"

Suddenly, he released me and urgently rushed to a spot: "Xiaojin, are you okay, Xiaojin!"

When I managed to turn around, I saw bugler Xiaojin already fallen into the grass.

Liang Erxi pinched his philtrum, constantly slapping his face, trying to restore his consciousness.

"Xiaojin, wake up, Xiaojin..."

But no matter how hard Liang Erxi tried, Xiaojin didn't wake up.

I struggled over, and together with Wang Wenxi, removed Xiaojin's gear.
