"Find matches! ”
In 1965, two motorists were on their way to a mission when they encountered wolves, and the squad leader shouted at the recruits beside him.
At that time, they had run out of bullets, but the wolves still did not retreat.
In a hurry, the squad leader suddenly thought of a solution.
What exactly did they do, and did it get them out of danger?
At that time, a certain car in Xinjiang was connected to a notice from their superiors asking them to deliver fuel to the border post.
Considering that he had to pass through a period of uninhabited area of the Gobi Desert and that the terrain was complicated, the company commander handed over the task to two automobile soldiers from the reconnaissance company.
One of the soldiers, Li Weiguang, was an experienced squad leader.
Another soldier is Wu Weiguo, a smart and capable two-year soldier.
Before leaving, the company commander instructed them that although there were no people in the Gobi Desert, there were wolves, so this mission, they were issued with two Type 56 rifles to use for self-defense when necessary.
The two soldiers were very excited when they heard this, and they carried out the mission with guns, which was no different from going to the battlefield.
Wu Weiguo followed the squad leader for the first time to perform a task, and it was very novel to sit in the passenger seat after getting into the car, chatting with Li Weiguang while asking: "Squad leader, if you are tired, I will drive." ”
Li Weiguang said: "Don't look at your excitement now, there is still a long way to go, and there is a time when you have driven enough." ”
The two comrades-in-arms chatted like this, and the sky gradually got dark.
Suddenly, the car stopped with a "clang", and it turned out that there were some dirt pits covered with sand on the Gobi Desert, and they accidentally fell into the pits.
Just when Wu Weiguo didn't know what to do, Li Weiguang took out an engineering shovel from the car and asked Wu Weiguo to dig underneath, and he tried to drive the car out of the pit.
However, as soon as Wu Weiguo dug a few times, he saw a pair of green eyes staring at him not far away.
Squad leader, do you think that's a wolf? Wu Weiguo whispered towards the cab.
Li Weiguang raised his head and hurriedly said to Wu Weiguo: "Get in the car!" ”
The two of them closed the car window, thinking that the wolf would leave in a funny way, but they didn't expect that with a wolf howl, in the dark night, there were more and more green eyes.
It turned out that this wolf was just a pathfinder, and it attracted another group of wolves to watch the military vehicle from afar.
Li Weiguang wanted to start the car and scare the wolves away with the headlights, but the car was stuck in the pit and did not move.
After a stalemate, the wolves saw that the car couldn't move, so they slowly walked towards the car.
Walking to the front of the car, several strong wolves began to scratch the glass window with their claws, but the hard glass blocked the wolf's attack.
But there is no way to be in such a stalemate, Li Weiguang did not stop, he asked Wu Weiguo to take out his rifle, rolled the car through a gap, and stretched out the muzzle of the gun.
At this moment, he concluded that if he didn't shoot, there was no way to drive away the wolves.
Because the wolves were scattered and they didn't carry many bullets, they decided to aim one by one.
Bang! Bang! Bang! With three gunshots, two wolves fell to the ground, and the other wounded wolf howled and ran.
Seeing this, the wolves retreated about a hundred meters together.
But the car is stuck in the dirt pit, and you still have to get out of the car and dig the slope before the car can drive out.
At a distance of a hundred meters, no matter who gets out of the car, they can't resist the attack of the wolves.
So, Li Weiguang ordered: "Keep fighting!" Disperse the wolves! ”
Bang! Bang! Bang! "A few more wolves fell, but this time, after retreating more than ten meters, the wolves surrounded again.
It turns out that wolves are bloody animals, and their warlike nature will also be provoked, and this time, they seem to be determined to fight this military vehicle to the death.
Bang bang! After two gunshots, Wu Weiguo said to the squad leader: "Squad leader, my bullets have run out." ”
At this time, Li Weiguang was the only one left to fight against the wolves, but after a few hits, he found that he had no bullets.
Alas, I just wanted to defend myself at the beginning, and I didn't get more bullets, but I didn't expect the wolves to be so stubborn. Li Weiguang muttered a few words in annoyance.
But at this time, they found that it may have been the bullets that were so dense just now that the wolves quietly retreated dozens of meters, and they didn't seem to dare to rush forward for a while.
Pregnant! Li Weiguang patted his thigh and said: "The wolf is afraid of the light, we have gasoline in the car, we have to use the fastest speed to get out of the car and ignite the gasoline, Xiao Wu, find a match!" ”
So, one of the two picked up the gasoline canister, and the other took out a match, and got out of the car together.
After getting out of the car, they quickly poured gasoline into a large circle, which they lit with matches, and a wall of fire quickly formed around the car.
As soon as the wolves saw the sea of fire in front of them, they immediately retreated a few dozen meters.
Under the protection of the fire ring, the two people quickly took the engineering shovel to dig out the sand on the edge of the pit, Li Weiguang flew into the cab, and after the ignition, he stepped on the accelerator, and the truck drove out of the pit!
Wu Weiguo quickly boarded the co-pilot, and the two of them finally broke out of the encirclement of the wolves.
Squad leader, how do you know that wolves are afraid of fire? Wu Weiguo asked happily.
Li Weiguang looked at this little soldier and said disdainfully: "Almost all animals are afraid of fire, and their brains can't understand what fire is at all, and they only know that if they get close, they will be burned to death." ”
After speaking, Li Weiguang sighed again: "We had comrades-in-arms before, and they were sacrificed in the wolf's mouth." ”
Then, Li Weiguang told Wu Weiguo about the experience of an old comrade-in-arms.
In 1962, before veteran Zhou Zhiyong was discharged from the army, the unit leaders asked him for his opinion on whether to prepare for demobilization and return to his hometown, or to work in the Karamay oil field.
At that time, the Karamay Oilfield was a national key development project, and people were in great need, so Zhou Zhiyong firmly signed the allocation form and decided to contribute to the motherland's oil industry.
Because he was born as a car soldier, the oil field arranged for him to work in the automobile transportation team, and the task was to transport gasoline out and bring back supplies from outside.
At that time, the area around Karamay was desolate, and sandstorms could occur at any time.
That day, when Zhou Zhiyong drove through the Gurbantunggut Desert, the wind and sand suddenly covered the sky, and Zhou Zhiyong gradually lost sight of the convoy in front of him.
When the wind and sand stopped, Zhou Zhiyong found that he had been lost in the Gobi Desert.
As a soldier, he originally had strong survival skills in the wilderness, and he tried to find his way back by himself with the dry food and drinking water he carried.
At the same time, he also picked up a notebook and recorded everything he went through so that in case he went missing, the search and rescue team could find him according to these clues.
Sure enough, the accident came, and after being lost in the desert for two days, he encountered a pack of wolves.
At that time, although he brought a gun, the ammunition was very limited at that time, so every bullet and every mouthful of food was a life-saving tool, and he did not dare to waste it at all.
It was getting dark, Zhou Zhiyong hid in the car and found a particularly large fierce wolf and surrounded him with a pack of wolves.
The wolf was obviously the leader of the pack, and Zhou Zhiyong picked up a gun and shot at it, but only hit the wolf's leg, and the wolf seemed to be enraged.
At that time, he also thought of using oil drums to ignite a fire to scare away the wolves, but the oil drums on the car were empty, so he had to take advantage of the wolves' retreat to go to the back of the oil tank to pick up oil.
However, just as he was filling the oil drum, a wolf that had not run far rushed over and bit him on the leg, and he struggled to get rid of it and rushed into the cab to bandage him.
After spending the night in the car, he found that the wolves had appeared with an embarrassment, which seemed to be even more cunning, and the wolves listened to it.
In the end, the wolves bit Zhou Zhiyong's car tire and broke through the window, dragging away the outnumbered Zhou Zhiyong.
A few days later, the search and rescue team found Zhou's car and the diary he had taken with him, but Zhou Zhiyong himself was missing.
Zhou Zhiyong died in the line of duty.
After learning about the experience of these soldiers and builders fighting with wolves on the frontier, Wu Weiguo also knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders.
But it is precisely these heroes who put life and death aside that have today's prosperous, strong and peaceful motherland.
Salute to the frontier guards and builders of the motherland!
