On a quiet spring evening, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded in the small village at the foot of Kumao Mountain. It was an ordinary day, the sunset stained the sky red, the villagers were working in the fields, and the children were chasing and playing in the alleys. However, this peaceful village life is about to be changed forever by a shocking piece of news.
"Squad leader Li Taoxiong is back!" an excited voice pierced the silence, and then the whole village boiled. The name is a household name in the village, and Li Taoxiong, a hero who was declared dead on the battlefield, now appears before their eyes with a living miracle.
Heroic Mission: Deliver supplies through minefields
In the spring of 1984, Li Taoxiong, as the squad leader of the sharp knife squad, faced the enemy's strong position on the main peak of Kumao Mountain and received a difficult task. This task not only tested his courage, but also challenged his combat skills. He had to deliver much-needed supplies to the 3rd Company of the Independent Division, passing through a dangerous area full of enemy troops.
In the temporary command tent of the military headquarters, he received the map and the mission book. The commander looked at him solemnly and only said, "Squad Leader Li, this task can only be completed by your sharp knife squad." Li Taoxiong nodded, knowing the burden on his shoulders.
Back in his tent, he gathered the whole class of fighters. In the face of them, Li Taoxiong explained the task requirements and expected difficulties succinctly and clearly. His tone was firm, and his eyes revealed confidence, which made the warriors feel a little reassured. The fighters looked at each other, and finally replied in unison: "Follow the squad leader, we have nothing to fear!"
As night fell, the sharp knife squad quietly set off under the leadership of Li Taoxiong. In the moonlight, their figures weaved through the trees, their steps light and alert. Each fighter carried heavy supplies on his back, but not one complained. They know that these supplies mean survival and victory for their comrades on the front line.
Round-the-clock demining and stealth
In the dim moonlight, Li Taoxiong and his warriors cautiously weaved through the woods, their eyes shining like cats in the night.
Whenever he encountered a landmine, Li Taoxiong would first inspect it, and then instruct the soldiers to carefully bypass or remove it. In the process of demining, every action must be extremely cautious, and the slightest mistake can lead to a catastrophe. Li Taoxiong held the mine detector in his hand and walked forward slowly, his movements professional and precise.
Once, when the team passed through a small hill, Li Taoxiong suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop. He lowered his body and took a closer look at the land in front of him. He found an almost imperceptible mine. He slowly took out his tools and carefully defused the mines. During the whole process, everyone held their breath until the mines were safely removed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
During a night sneak, the Sharp Knife squad suddenly encountered enemy sentinels. Li Taoxiong quickly made a judgment and motioned for everyone to hide and prepare for battle. He quietly approached the enemy, then quickly and accurately subdued them, avoiding the sound coming out. He whispered to the fighters behind him, "Keep going, stay vigilant." ”
During the march, Li Taoxiong exchanged gestures with the soldiers from time to time, effectively directing the direction and speed of the team. They made their way through dense bushes and over steep hills, constantly alert to possible dangers around them.
In a dense wood, Li Taoxiong spotted a trap bomb set by the enemy. He quickly instructed the warriors to back off, and then cautiously approached the trap. He slowly lifted the lead of the trap with the tool in his hand. Under this high pressure, his movements are always stable and precise.
Sometimes, enemy patrols pass not far away. Li Taoxiong would direct the fighters to hide in the bushes, barely daring to breathe, until the enemy left. In these tense moments, the fighters fully trusted and relied on Li Taoxiong's experience and judgment.
In the middle of the night, they accidentally approached the enemy's camp. Li Taoxiong quickly assessed the situation, and then decisively led the fighters to change course and avoid the enemy's sight. In this way, they dodged a possible encounter.
While traversing a narrow valley, Li Taoxiong found an enemy ambush ahead. He immediately motioned for everyone to stop, and then quietly arranged a counter-ambush. They waited patiently until the enemy showed their feet. Li Taoxiong decisively gave the order to attack, and they quickly routed the enemy and then moved on.
After several days and nights of arduous marching, Li Taoxiong and his soldiers successfully cleared the road of mines and traps with tenacity and agility. Not only did they succeed in delivering much-needed supplies to the front, but they also demonstrated the unparalleled courage and wisdom of the Sharp Knife Squad.
Heroic Resistance: Encounter with enemy artillery
After the supplies were successfully delivered, Li Taoxiong and his team could have retreated back to the camp. But just as they were about to leave, they unexpectedly spotted an enemy artillery station on the hillside. This new discovery quickly changed their plans. The command immediately issued a new order: Li Taoxiong had to reconnoiter the exact location of the artillery station.
Li Taoxiong quickly organized a squad to prepare for this dangerous mission. They quietly approached the area where the artillery was located. Due to the complex terrain of the mountains, this process is fraught with challenges. They climbed over steep hills, through dense bushes, and approached their targets step by step.
During the approach to the artillery station, they had to be extremely careful to avoid being detected by enemy troops. Li Taoxiong took the lead and kept observing his surroundings. They found a hidden observation point from which the activities of the artillery could be clearly seen.
Li Taoxiong took out his binoculars and carefully observed the enemy's arming situation. He found that the artillery station was heavily guarded and equipped with a number of cannons, and the firepower was strong. He silently jotted down important information and prepared to send it back to Command.
Just as Li Taoxiong was about to evacuate, a soldier accidentally touched a stone and made a noise. This small voice immediately alerted the enemy troops. Li Taoxiong motioned for everyone to hide quickly, but it was already too late.
The enemy quickly sent patrols to search. Li Taoxiong and his fighters hid in the dense forest, waiting nervously. Listening to the footsteps of the enemy troops getting closer and closer, they clenched their weapons in their hands, ready to respond to a possible conflict at any time.
Suddenly, an enemy soldier walked towards their hiding place. Li Taoxiong raised his gun, but he knew that shooting would attract more enemies. At that moment, a loud bang broke the silence of the night - it was the sound of cannonballs!
The shells landed not far from where Li Taoxiong and the others were hiding, and the shock wave from the explosion shocked everyone. Li Taoxiong rushed forward almost instinctively, trying to find a safe place. But at this moment, another round of shells came and hit Li Taoxiong's position directly.
The huge impact knocked Li Taoxiong to the ground, and the surrounding area was suddenly filled with dust and smoke. His body was violently hit by the shock wave of the cannonball, and he felt a sharp pain. As the smoke cleared, the soldiers hurried to the place where Li Taoxiong had fallen.
Miraculous Survival: Returning from the Line of Death
The smoke of the battle had not yet cleared, and Li Taoxiong was lying in a uniform torn by shrapnel, blood staining the ground. With a heavy heart, the surrounding soldiers transported his body back to the camp and judged him dead. At the rear of the battlefield, a young military nurse approached, who had come to identify the fallen soldiers.
However, when examining Li Taoxiong, she unexpectedly noticed his faint breathing. The nurse quickly called the other medical personnel and loudly told them: "He's still alive! Hurry, we need to get him to the hospital immediately!" Immediately, several medical soldiers and soldiers hurriedly carried Li Taoxiong onto a stretcher and quickly rushed to the temporary front-line hospital.
At the hospital, doctors and nurses rushed to prepare for an emergency operation on Mr. Lee. He was taken to the operating room, and the medical team began an intense and arduous rescue work. Doctors carefully removed shrapnel from him while trying to control bleeding from the wound. The operating room was filled with tension, and the sound of medical equipment and the communication of doctors came and went.
Outside, Li Taoxiong's fighters anxiously awaited news. Their expressions were full of worry and unease, and everyone was silently praying that Li Taoxiong would survive. Time passed slowly, and the door to the operating room finally opened, and the doctor walked out. He said to the people who were waiting with a serious face: "We did our best, and now we can only wait." ”
In the days that followed, Li Taoxiong remained in a coma. Doctors and nurses took turns guarding his bedside, closely monitoring his vital signs. Due to the extreme severity of his injuries, Li Taoxiong's life seemed to hang on a thin line.
In the corridors of the hospital, comrades-in-arms often came to visit him. Although Li Taoxiong is unconscious, they still firmly believe that Li Taoxiong will wake up. They took turns sitting on the edge of his bed, sometimes talking to him in a low voice, as if he could hear them.
As time passed, Li Taoxiong's condition still did not improve significantly. However, the medical team did not give up any hope and continued to adhere to the treatment and care. During this period, Li Taoxiong still had hundreds of shrapnel in his body, which made his recovery road full of uncertainties and challenges.
Until the 78th day, a miracle happened. On a quiet afternoon, Li Taoxiong suddenly opened his eyes during the nurse's daily examination. Although his eyes are confused, this is already the biggest improvement since the injury. The nurse immediately informed the doctor and his comrades.
When the news spread, the entire hospital was plunged into joy and celebration. Li Taoxiong's comrades-in-arms rushed to his hospital bed and watched him gradually regain consciousness, their faces showing incredible joy. A comrade-in-arms couldn't help but say: "Squad leader, you finally woke up, we know that you will definitely survive!"
Although Li Taoxiong couldn't speak, his eyes showed a kind of firmness. Doctors told him and his comrades that although Li Taoxiong still had shrapnel in his body, he showed amazing vitality. They will continue the treatment to help him recover.
The Indomitable Hero: The Birth of the God of War
After careful discussion, the doctors decided to perform the shrapnel removal surgery while he was awake to reduce the risk of anesthesia. Li Taoxiong agreed to this plan and was ready to meet the next challenge.
The procedure is extremely complex and painful. Using delicate instruments, the doctors carefully removed the shrapnel from his muscles and tissues. With each operation, Li had to endure tremendous pain, but he always insisted that he did not let out a single moan. The doctors and nurses present were deeply shocked by his strength and courage.
Over the next few months, Lee underwent 120 surgeries. Every time you enter the operating room, it's a battle with pain and death. However, he faced it with strength every time and never backed down. Doctors gradually removed 170 pieces of shrapnel from his body, an almost unbelievable number.
After 10 months of treatment, Li Taoxiong's physical condition has improved significantly. Although his body has left indelible scars, his vitality and courage have made everyone awe-inspired. In the hospital, he was known as the "God of the Army" and inspired everyone who met him.
After recovering, Li Taoxiong returned to his hometown. He walked on the familiar street and inadvertently saw the martyr's monument erected in the village in his honor. He stopped and quietly gazed at the flowers and couplets in front of the monument. These are the memories and respects of the villagers for him.
When his family and fellow villagers saw Li Taoxiong standing alive in front of them, their surprise and joy were indescribable. His father hugged him tightly, tears streaming down the old man's cheeks. The whole village gathered around, their faces beaming with joy and pride.
Li Taoxiong received a grand welcome ceremony in the village. The villagers sat around and listened to him talk about his experiences on the battlefield and his struggles in the hospital. Although his voice is calm, every listener can feel the hardship and perseverance.
At the welcoming ceremony, a veteran stepped forward, gave Li Taoxiong a military salute, and said, "Li Taoxiong, you are our hero, and your story will inspire each and every one of us." Li Taoxiong bowed slightly, thanking his comrades.
Although Li Taoxiong's physical condition no longer allowed him to return to the battlefield, his heroic deeds have been deeply rooted in people's hearts. He was awarded a second-class meritorious service, which is the highest recognition of his indomitable spirit. After retiring from the army, he started a new life, but his story and spirit have been carried on in the army and in his hometown.
