Chapter 072: Defend your family and defend the country, and treat death as home
The orange-yellow sunlight on the horizon covered the ground with a pale golden halo, and everything was so peaceful that people couldn't believe that there was a battlefield in front of them.
There are not a lot of regular troops, and most of the people who come here have extremely simple ideas, they just want to protect their home, they want to protect this place where their ancestors have taken root for generations.
From Beiping began to fall little by little, the great rivers and mountains of the country were divided by the greedy beast, no one knew which city would fall tomorrow, and no one knew which day of victory and doomsday would come faster.
People were talking and laughing, while the bullets had not yet been loaded, while the enemy's machine guns and explosives had not yet roared.
Hu Zize gave Xiao Bei the vegetables in the bowl, puffed out his cheeks and said in a daze: "Eat, eat more......"
Looking at the extra dishes in the bowl, Xiao Bei smiled, and his heart was as sweet as honey.
She didn't know how long this calm would last, she only knew that her eyes were full of him now, from his eyes to the tip of his heart, and finally turned into a smile on the corner of his mouth.
She Xiao Bei likes Hu Zize......
Even others could see the flash of love and pampering in his eyes.
"Zize ......" She lowered her head, the chopsticks in her hand stayed on the meal for a moment, she seemed to have been brewing for a long time before she mustered up the courage to speak:
"Is it okay to be alive?"
The chopsticks in his hand also paused at this moment, Hu Zize was stunned, but he didn't know how to agree to Xiao Bei's request.
He didn't answer, but was silent for a moment before he buried his head in the bowl and ate the rice in his bowl.
He gulped his food into his mouth, trying to swallow the helplessness that almost swallowed him, trying to avoid and escape.
After eating faster, Hu Zize couldn't stop coughing, he coughed the rice grains in his mouth to the cracked loess surface, and then touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.
The orange-yellow sunlight shone on Hu Zize's reddened face and his hazy eyes.
Xiao Bei patted Hu Zize's back, and also chose to remain silent and did not answer.
The two of them sat quietly, but they knew very well that it was out of reach.
Xiao Bei wanted Hu Zize to live, but Hu Zize knew that living on the battlefield was originally a luxury.
Standing up, Hu Zize's tall figure pulled out a slender black figure on the ground, he pursed his lips, and after a moment of silence, he spoke jerkyly:
"Why don't you all go back alive...... I...... I'll give you a banquet, you are dressed up beautifully in a red wedding dress, and I will hire a few people to carry a sedan chair to marry you home, okay?"
He wasn't very good at saying these love words, and it sounded a little unnatural and jerky in tone, but Xiao Bei smiled, and his smile seemed to be sweet to the bottom of his heart.
Bending down, Hu Zize picked up Xiao Bei, and Xiao Bei also hooked Hu Zize's neck with a smile.
Xiao Beixiang reached Hu Zize's ear, and then suppressed his voice to a very low voice: "I know you want to keep Huixian, I want to too, but in my eyes, you are my Huixian......"
This sentence is deeply engraved in the brain, like the imprint on the face of a condemned prisoner, even if he wears layers of masks, it can't change the essence of the unforgettable.
As the sun set that day, Xiao Bei grabbed Hu Zize's neck and spoke to him in a low voice:
You are my Huixian......
But this was the last sentence that Hu Zize heard and imprinted in his heart.
In this era, all comfort and beauty will be broken, emotions will become somewhat worthless, and they will become cheap and nihilistic, like fishing for the moon in water.
After a earth-shattering cannon bombardment was heard from the sky, the war began without mercy.
As soon as the enemy started fighting, a few grenades, and the flying sand and rocks that exploded almost buried us alive, and the sound of fighting accompanied by the rain of bullets became clearer and clearer, and the piercing sound seemed to tear the eardrums.
In reality, everything is clear to everyone, but at the same time it is chaotic.
Flying sand and sparkling bullets flew away from front of the eyes, surrounded by shouts and staccato wails.
The smell of dry earth in the sun was a little more thick and sticky at this time, and the rough hands grinded blisters and calluses on the gravel floor and the barrel of the gun.
Hu Zize gritted his teeth, holding the machine gun tightly in his hand, he knew who was standing behind him, so he desperately wanted to protect Huixian.
The bullets didn't stop for a moment, and the sandbags were broken, piercing through the gray uniforms into the chest, and then smearing large patches of blood.
The sound of rapid breathing was infinitely amplified in my ears, deeply integrated into my mind, as if I wanted to throw out all the fear, anger and helplessness in my heart.
"The first battalion is lost!"
A shout came into the ears of the gunshot, crushing a corner of the city wall in the bottom of the heart.
If the first battalion charges into battle, the chances of the second and third battalions will be greatly reduced if the first battalion has an accident.
But the man continued to shout: "Hold on, brothers, hold on, the first battalion has fallen, and the second battalion and the third battalion have fallen! Hold on to ......."
The flagpole he waved in his hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and then, with a bang, the flag-bearer's body trembled, but he collapsed to the ground with several shots.
And the military flag in his hand also fell to the ground with the dust, and from a distance, he only saw a trace left on the yellow earth, but he couldn't see the flag that was just fluttering in the wind.
The fighting continues, but the casualties are getting heavier.
"Second Battalion...... The second battalion has been defeated!" a hoarse voice roared.
The gun in Hu Zize's hand also trembled a few times unconsciously, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, we were born and grew up here, it's a big deal that we die here today!"
"Yes, it's a big deal to die here, even if we lose, we have the ambition to lose, and we would rather die standing than live on our knees!"
At this time, I don't know who rushed out again: "Third battalion commander, let's tie up explosives and die with them!
"Yes, yes, we are not afraid of death anyway, even if we die, we have to pull a few devils on our backs!"
Immediately afterward, everyone responded, and the sound of one after another was like waves crashing against a reef, dull and tragic.
The soldiers tied explosives to their bodies one after another, and their dusty faces were written with the sight of death as if they were at home.
Hu Zize was no exception, he tied the explosives to his waist little by little, but his fingers trembled slightly.
He is also human, and he is also afraid of death.
But if they don't die, more people will lose their lives and therefore lose their dignity.
The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the family and country cannot die.
Hu Zize looked at the explosives on his waist and smiled with relief, then turned around and looked at the camp tent far away from the battlefield, he knew that Xiao Bei must still be waiting for him in the camp tent.
But......
Next life......
Hu Zize closed his eyes and rushed towards the enemy with the soldiers.
