328, War Horse's Wish (10)
This battle allowed Tong Xinlan to also see what a big battle is, although the previous encounters were sudden and tense, but they were not like this big battle that both sides were fully prepared for.
Of course, before the big battle, Ji Baixuan also took Tong Xinlan to carry out several raid missions.
That night, it seemed that the moon and stars also felt this extremely tense atmosphere, and hid in the dark clouds in fear, not daring to come forward.
The wild lights are dark, and you can't see anything.
A company of soldiers, with dozens of their horses, lay quietly behind the grass.
Lying on the ground and keeping a movement without moving, not speaking, not to say that people are uncomfortable, the horse is even more uncomfortable.
Because the smell of horses is stronger, mosquitoes and insects prefer to come to horses.
If they had encountered these annoying mosquitoes in the stable, the horses would have already whipped and flagged their tails to pat them to express their anger and resistance.
But now, no matter how uncomfortable they are, they still maintain the same movement as their owners, that is, they do not move.
This is the result of the long-term training of war horses by the warriors.
Although she has seen the good discipline of the war horses several times, Tong Xinlan will bow to it every time she sees it again.
It's a human soul that she doesn't feel much better than them in front of these horses, except for humans.
The ears superior to humans made the horses hear the enemy's approach first, Tong Xinlan moved her ears, and Ji Baixuan immediately felt the tense muscles on Qin Lan's body. I guessed that the enemy was approaching.
Hearing the regular cricket cries from the reconnaissance team ahead, Ji Baixuan knew that the enemy was really approaching.
He gently touched Qin Lan's belly, and Tong Xinlan knew that Ji Baixuan was reminding her to prepare for battle.
The horse has been lying on its stomach for too long, and suddenly standing in the station will also strain the horse's muscles, so the warriors will have such a slight movement.
All communication is silent, and the horses also understand the meaning of their masters.
The trumpet sounded, all the horses rose to their feet, and the warriors who were ready to attack skillfully jumped on their horses and rushed towards the enemy.
The battle at night was the most terrifying. Some people may say that no one shoots indiscriminately during the day or night, but what is the difference between fighting at night and during the day?
The difference is huge. During the day, you can at least see and hear, but at night, these advantages are completely gone. It's blind typing. Hide.
These are for horses. The risk factor has increased significantly.
Tong Xinlan was also able to rely on her more agile sense of hearing to dodge Ji Baixuan left and right, avoiding several dangers, while the other horses were also good at hearing. But they didn't have the ability to predict it so well, either they were shot and fell to the ground, or the soldiers on their backs were shot and fell off their horses.
There is no extra time to sympathize with others, Tong Xinlan is too busy to take care of herself.
Rushing through a battle in a hurry, Tong Xinlan will feel that it is not easy to survive, she only felt that it was very difficult to be born as a human being, but now she knows that it is quite sad to be an animal.
Every battle was extremely tragic, there were wins and losses, but Tong Xinlan and Ji Baixuan survived.
But Tong Xinlan didn't have much sense of accomplishment, because even without her, it was the former Ma Qinlan, and it successfully survived with Ji Baixuan.
The series of non-stop small battles before these big battles had already exhausted Tong Xinlan physically and mentally, but time waited for no one, there was no time to rest at all, and the time of the big war came.
Ji Baixuan, who was also tired, was happy, because of his heroic performance in the battle, Ji Baixuan was promoted to be a company commander.
Tong Xinlan wrinkled her face, remembering that Ji Baixuan seemed to be shot not long after becoming a company commander.
Facing the melancholy face of his close comrade-in-arms, Ji Baixuan patted the horse's head and asked, "Qin Lan, are you too tired?" You don't seem to be in a good mood lately, do you want to rest well." ”
"I'm tired too, but the fight will always end with our victory, and when the time comes, we'll be able to go home. Qin Lan, do you know, I'm a company commander now, are you happy?"
"Hey, Qinlan, you don't understand anything, but when the time comes, when I go back and see Qiu Tong and tell her the news, maybe how happy she will be? It's good that Qin Lan is happy for me, but unfortunately, you don't understand. Ji Baixuan began to break away from the image of a hero again, and became sentimental.
"Whew. "I'm tired.
Tong Xinlan snorted twice, turned her head and didn't look at Ji Baixuan.
However, what Ji Baixuan didn't know was that when he was fighting in the front, because the battle was tight, many soldiers were injured, and relying only on moving to the rear was easy to cause untimely rescue and unnecessary casualties caused by the enemy's encirclement and interception.
In the face of such a serious shortage of medical personnel, it was decided after organizational study that a group of doctors and nurses were transferred from the rear base areas.
As an activist, Qiu Tong finally persuaded the nurse who took her to take her to the battlefield this time.
Qiu Tong is a flower living in a greenhouse, this is the first time she has seen what is called a mountain of corpses and a sea of corpses, there are bloody corpses everywhere, this is like a hell written in the book, she once thought that the smell of disinfectant water was bad enough, who would have thought that those disinfectant water just covered up the smell of blood that she feared the most.
The smell of blood on this battlefield is more than a star, and the sweet and rich taste alone defeated Qiu Tong and made her vomit.
The blackened pool of blood, redder than the most gorgeous rose, made Qiu Tong tremble, and her body was almost unsteady on her feet.
This is the real battlefield, what you hear, see and smell, brings Qiu Tong's senses, not only the heavy sorrow in those literary allusions, the bloody patriotic thoughts praised in newspapers and broadcasts, I didn't know what it means to throw my head and spill blood, I feel that the proverb is very appropriate, but now I find it very vivid.
The real analysis of the battlefield and the sentence of throwing the head and spilling blood, that is. There were really a lot of people whose heads had been cut off by big knives, and there was blood everywhere, and those who didn't die, whether they were enemies or their own people, were wailing and crying out in pain.
This is hell! I'm going to get out of here.
Before Qiu Tong passed out in a coma, there was only one sentence left in his mind.
Waking up in the tent of the makeshift hospital, Qiu Tong was still a little dazed, until she could smell the unpleasant smell of blood through the smell of disinfectant water, and she vomited again.
As soon as he recalled the scenes on the battlefield, Qiu Tong trembled with fright.
This time. Qiu Tong discovered. I used to be so timid, I usually look down on those male classmates who are timid and unwilling to go to the battlefield and abandon the motherland, but now I find that she is actually the same. She also developed a psychology of evasion and escape.
Qiu Tong is reluctant to admit that he is timid. It's just that that kind of battlefield is not something that normal people can go to at all. Where can a normal person accept such a picture, where can he show off his military exploits in exchange for killing someone!
Yes, it is. She is a normal person and should not be in this abnormal place.
Those classmates were right, this land has been abandoned by civilization, and she should learn from them to run to the beacon of light for mankind, instead of staying here and accompanying those madmen to kill each other, becoming a piece of rotten meat and a puddle of stinky blood.
The students all said that there is the future of mankind, that all races are inclusive, and that people of all nationalities are all from the same country when they go there, and they will not have to fight for territory like barbarians like here.
It doesn't make sense, does it, we're all human!
Qiu Tong kept comforting herself, so that she would not be defeated by the fact that she had become the type of person she used to hate.
Self-deception is really useful, and Qiu Tong feels that she is not so uncomfortable.
comforted herself, Qiu Tong remembered the big hero she admired before, and she had no admiration at all.
They're people from different positions.
Now, when Qiu Tong thinks about Ji Baixuan, there is less sweetness and happiness, and only fear remains.
Ji Baixuan's military exploits were all obtained by killing people, although he killed the enemy, but he was also a living person, and the other party also had a family, so he died in a foreign country.
Can't everyone live with Meimei?
What is your country, my country?
What a narrow nationalism, let's be reunited, how good it is to learn from the lighthouse country, and besides, the Japanese country has said that it is here to build the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, why do you want to hate others so much?
Wouldn't it be great if we sat down and talked, accepted the other side's opinions, and let the countries that are more advanced than us lead our development?
These fights are unnecessary, and everyone can live together well.
Qiu Tong felt that he suddenly understood the true meaning of life, that is, to tell everyone, stop fighting.
Therefore, she had to leave here first, go out to write a newspaper, and call on everyone to stop resisting and accept each other's help.
Just thinking of this, Ge Ling, an old nurse who had been leading Qiu Tong to study, lifted the curtain of the tent door and walked in, interrupting her train of thought.
Behind Ge Ling, there were also several female college students who were fighting against Qiu Tong, and they were also very concerned about Qiu Tong who came to support the revolution together.
They all said in unison, "Qiu Tong, are you awake?"
Qiu Tong was a little embarrassed to see that others were in a better state than herself, and she didn't know if her thoughts just now would be spied on by others.
Pulling the corners of his mouth stiffly, Qiu Tong said, "It's okay, thank you for your concern." ”
Qiu Tong's unnaturalness can be seen by almost everyone, but they all misunderstood, thinking that she was embarrassed by her reaction to the battlefield like herself.
The girls comforted, "Qiu Tong, don't worry, we're scared too." ”
Ge Ling saw that the other girls couldn't think of anything to comfort, after all, they had little experience, and they might not be able to comfort Qiu Tong with what they said, so he said, "Xiaoqiu, don't look at how heroic we old nurses are when we go to save people on the battlefield, just like we are not afraid of the enemy's bullets." Actually, when we first went to the battlefield, we were in a similar situation to you, and we were so frightened that we didn't know anything, and we thought that we were heroes. ”
"In the future, I will slowly get used to it, and, if you think about it, the soldiers who go to the battlefield are all soldiers who are to protect our country and protect our compatriots, some of them are just children, younger than my brothers, I thought, if my brother is still here, I can save him in time, hey, so, when they are dying, if we are one step late, they may die immediately, you think so, there will be no time to be afraid. ”
When Qiu Tong was comforted by Ge Ling's hand, he only felt cold sweat all over his body.
Now she can no longer feel the warmth of the big army, she only feels that the people here are all war maniacs, who want to drag her to death and drag her to resist progress.
Where is this decaying country worthy of protection? What is needed here is the help of foreign and advanced forces.
All the changes are silent, and the change of thinking is only a moment, and no one has noticed that there is a person who has changed.
Ji Baixuan still remembered Qiu Tong stupidly, wanting to kill more devils, as if this would end the battle early, drive away the devils, and usher in the victory of the national revolution.
It is such a momentum that Tong Xinlan attaches great importance to Ji Baixuan.
She used to fight national wars and knew the true meaning of defending her family and country.
A good son like Ji Baixuan lived safely until after the war, and married a wife to go home to farm, which was the greatest happiness for them.
Of course, Tong Xinlan didn't know that Qiu Tong's thinking had changed.
Ji Baixuan fought on the front line of the battlefield and worked hard to kill the enemy.
Qiu Tong, who doesn't want to stay on the battlefield, can always think of a way to leave the front line, after all, she is not such a shortage of battlefield doctors and experienced field nurses.
As a newcomer, she has more than enough ways to make people feel like she's not fit for the battlefield.
Just make a mess.
In order to leave the front line, Qiu Tong almost killed a disabled soldier with an amputated leg.
Because of this mistake, Qiu Tong was transferred back to the safety of the rear.
Of course, this security is compared to the front line.
Qiu Tong doesn't feel safe here at all, only the foreigners' concession is safe, because the devil doesn't dare to provoke the Europeans and Americans who are advanced with their families.
And her home is in the concession.
This is the first time that Qiu Tong is so eager to return home, although before, she also listened to the words of some classmates and felt that her family members were capitalists who admired foreign countries.
No matter what kind of capitalist he is, it is just that those who cannot go abroad are jealous of their families, because they cannot leave this dangerous past and go to that bright and safe place.
However, it is not so easy to get home.
Here in the base area, it is not easy to get in, and there are layers of checkpoints when you go out, one is to be vigilant, and the other is to prevent deserters. (To be continued.) )
