308: That rope is about to break.

“What's the situation down there?”

The elite Military Unit from the Division Headquarters arrived first to participate in the rescue.

After Division Commander Yang and the others arrived, they immediately asked the Soldiers stationed above the cliff.

“Reporting, Division Commander, two Soldiers below suffered gunshot wounds... our comrades-in-arms from Yangcheng have already performed surgery on them, and their vital signs are currently stable... the rescue path will be cleared soon...”

Hearing this, Division Commander Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of the Bear Soldiers who were captured today, his eyes held killing intent.

These Bear Soldiers were too arrogant and reckless; they actually dared to shoot at their Soldiers and nearly killed so many people.

He had already instructed his subordinates, hinting that they should “take good care” of these Bear Soldiers.

If it were his old temper, he would have truly wanted to shoot a few Bear Soldiers dead, just to let those people know that the Soldiers of Daxia are not to be trifled with... Division Commander Yang felt fortunate, fortunate that people from Yangcheng had arrived this time. Otherwise, just a few hours later, the lives of those two Soldiers would have been lost, and the lightly injured Soldiers would have become seriously injured. And those six villagers were rescued safely.

These Soldiers had also captured over thirty Bear Soldiers. This truly exceeded his expectations.

He heard that two Soldiers, without even carrying guns, managed to capture them directly. He would have to wait and inquire about the specifics later.

“They've been rescued...”

Hearing the cheers, Division Commander Yang looked down toward the bottom of the cliff.

Over a dozen Soldiers were climbing toward the top of the cliff.

“Quick, pull them up...”

Division Commander Yang said excitedly.

The other Commanders at the Division Headquarters also looked joyfully at the Soldiers coming up.

“Quick, Military Doctors, check them over...”

“Division Commander.”

“Hurry and get them something to eat...”

Company Commander He escorted these dozen or so Soldiers up. All of them had only minor injuries or scrapes.

“comrade He, what's the situation down below?”

“Reporting to Division Commander Yang... Captain Lu led the Soldiers in clearing the rescue path. The severely injured comrades-in-arms can be brought up immediately...”

Hearing that they could be brought up immediately, Division Commander Yang was overjoyed.

“That's wonderful.”

Soon, the other lightly injured Soldiers were also rescued. Although injured, they could still walk, and with other Soldiers assisting and protecting them, they slowly climbed up.

“How many people are still down below?” Division Commander Yang asked Company Commander He.

“Reporting to Division Commander Yang, there are two severely injured Soldiers, Second Company Commander, and six Soldiers responsible for the rescue...”

The six Soldiers responsible for the rescue were naturally Xiao Niannian, Lu Jing, Fang Qiang, Xiao Cui, and He Yong.

“Are they using stretchers to bring up those two severely injured Soldiers?”

Division Commander Yang looked at the other rescued Soldiers; he had seen firsthand how difficult it was for them to climb up. Now, lifting two Soldiers on stretchers would be more than ten times harder.

“Have the ropes been reinforced?”

Division Commander Yang had just instructed the Soldiers to throw down more ropes to reinforce several spots.

“Reporting to Division Commander Yang, they have been reinforced.”

Hearing this, Division Commander Yang looked down at the cliff again.

“Six people aren't enough to bring up those two casualties. Send four more people down, and have the people above pull them up with ropes...”

Although the Soldiers from Yangcheng are excellent, the two casualties are severely injured. If there aren't enough people, problems might arise. If something goes wrong halfway, and a Soldier falls off the cliff, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Yes.”

Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian and said.

“You lead the people up first. I will be at the very back...”

Hearing Lu Jing say this, Xiao Niannian nodded.

She trusted Lu Jing's ability, and Lu Jing trusted hers.

Xiao Niannian led Fang Qiang and Xiao Cui, carrying an injured Comrade-in-arms on a stretcher, slowly ascending.

Because dozens of people had traversed the path, some of the snow on the cliff had melted and turned into ice. When some Soldiers climbed up earlier, they had slipped and nearly fallen.

As Xiao Niannian walked upward, she used a rope to secure the stretcher to her back, while using a knife in one hand to chip away the ice in the holes.

“Everyone be careful, we must ensure the safety of the injured...”

Xiao Niannian instructed the comrades-in-arms.

“Yes.”

The Comrade-in-arms lying on the stretcher woke up at this moment and looked at the comrades-in-arms on both sides.

When he was unconscious earlier, he saw a Female Comrade performing surgery on him. He didn't know why, but seeing her movements suddenly filled him with confidence.

He also didn't know what the Female Comrade had used on him. He had felt pain for over a day yesterday, but when the bullet was removed, he felt no pain... “comrade, thank you.”

“Don't talk.”

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, the injured man immediately fell silent.

Xiao Niannian and her comrades-in-arms slowly climbed upwards. Although they had other ropes pulling them up, their speed was slow because the cliff was so steep.

When they had covered one-third of the distance, Xiao Niannian heard a faint sound.

Was that the sound of a rope partially breaking?

Xiao Niannian looked around.

“Don't move.”

Hearing Xiao Niannian's words, everyone stopped.

Xiao Niannian carefully scanned the surroundings and noticed that a rope five meters ahead seemed wrong. The tension didn't feel normal. Upon closer inspection, she confirmed that the rope was about to break.

“The rope five meters ahead is about to break.”

As soon as Xiao Niannian spoke, everyone looked toward the rope five meters ahead.

From that distance, they couldn't see that the rope was about to break. Moreover, so many people had just used it without issue.

“Company Commander He, come down and carefully inspect all the ropes above...”

Xiao Niannian's voice was loud, echoing throughout the valley.

Hearing this, Company Commander He immediately took a few Soldiers and headed down the cliff.

“Division Commander, this rope has been fine all along, why would it break now?”

“The comrades rescuing the injured are still halfway down the cliff. If they stop now, what if they slip and fall?”

“Division Commander, how about letting the comrades carrying the injured come up first, or else there will be major trouble...”

“Division Commander, why don't we send people to support them? We can check the ropes after they are up.”

Division Commander Yang frowned upon hearing the words of those around him.

“If those comrades say there is a problem with the rope, then there must be a problem. The comrades-in-arms from the Yangcheng Troops have gone down to check the ropes. You must prepare for support, take the other ropes down to them, and if that's not enough, braid ropes by hand...”

Division Commander Yang said sternly, his face cold.
