Chapter 174: Take off your uniform
Looking at the five coffins in front of him, Zhao Mu's mind clearly appeared the voices and smiles of the five friends, and remembered the time when he chatted and bragged with them.
In the face of war, life is so fragile, separated for only a few months, five fresh lives have disappeared silently, and the grief in Zhao Mu's heart cannot be described in words.
The bright five-star red flag covered the coffin, bright as fire, red as blood, this is the destination of the martyrs.
Due to the nature of the troops, the sacrifices of the five friends could not even be made public, and only a few people who were able to attend their funerals were not even aware of the sacrifices that had been made for their peace.
The greatness of life and the death of the ordinary, this is a portrayal of most people who silently struggle and sacrifice for the motherland.
The peace of the country is won by countless silent sacrifices and bloodsheds, and there are no quiet years, but there are people who are carrying the weight for us.
The coffin was buried, and everyone watched the coffin disappear inch by inch in their eyes, and the suppressed choked voices of the five families made Zhao Mu's heart like a pinprick.
Watching the coffin disappear inch by inch in his eyes, Zhao Mu's mind appeared with the faces of the venomous snake mercenary group's revenge operation, and the panicked and desperate faces flashed quickly.
Thinking of the bloody scenes, the figure of the white elephant soldier sounded, the officer whose head exploded into a rotten watermelon, the panicked barracks, and the panicked people and teams of white elephant soldiers.
Scenes flashed quickly in his mind, the aura on Zhao Mu's body became cold, his eyes were as deep as a wolf, and he secretly thought in his heart: "Brother, go well, you are not alone on the road, and there are many people accompanying you." ”
Five tombstones stand side by side, and the closest comrades-in-arms in life are next to each other as permanent consuls after their deaths.
There are no feats and deeds on the tombstones, no flowery rhetoric, only a few strokes including names, this is the fate of special combatants, who are nameless in life and equally nameless after death.
The whole process was solemn and simple, with only traces of the existence of the five people on the tombstone.
At the end of the ceremony, Zhao Mu was going to go and say a few words to the families of the five friends, but they had already left under the escort of a team of soldiers, so Zhao Mu could only give up.
The crowd began to disperse one after another, Zhao Mu. Also ready to leave.
"Zhao Mu, go and have a drink. ”
Looking back, it was Duan Peng.
"Okay, let's go. ”
"Captain......
Tie Dan and the others looked at Duan Peng, their expressions a little complicated.
With a wave of his hand, Duan Peng smiled and said: "Go back, I'm an unofficial now, you can't do it, envy Lao Tzu." ”
"Captain, we're waiting for you to come back......"
"Go, go, don't give me a calf, it's rare for me to be so relaxed now, get out of here, don't delay me from drinking." ”
Zhao Mu found out that something was wrong, Duan Peng didn't have a military uniform on his body, which Zhao Mu just ignored.
"Duan Peng, ...... you?"
"Let's go, let's drink. ”
Looking at Duan Peng's pretended relaxed smile, Zhao Mu didn't ask again, and the two walked out of the cemetery.
"Boss, serve the wine, and bring me a box first. ”
Zhao Mu was taken aback, "Duan Peng, are you crazy?"
Duan Peng smiled nonchalantly, "Brother, don't stop me today, let me have a good drink." ”
looked at Duan Peng deeply, but under the relaxed smile on his face, there was a pain that he tried to suppress, and that smile was heartbreaking.
"Okay, I'll drink with you. Zhao Mu said in a deep voice.
"Boss, bring up the wine, and the appetizers will come up quickly. ”
"Come, drink!"
With a few clicks, Duan Peng simply dried up the bottle.
Zhao Muyi frowned, "You drink slowly." ”
"It's okay, come, drink. ”
In less than five minutes, three bottles of wine were in his stomach, and he took a sip of it directly, and Duan Peng's face began to turn red rapidly.
Yes, Zhao Mu didn't persuade him, and he was going to drag people away later.
With more than half a catty of liquor in his stomach, Duan Peng's drinking speed finally slowed down.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhao Mu finally had a chance to speak, "I said, what is your situation?"
With a wry smile, Duan Peng pointed to the clothes on his body, "Look, what do you see?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Mu didn't see anything, but quickly thought that Duan Peng's group of comrades-in-arms just now were all dressed in neat military uniforms, and only he was wearing a black suit.
Thinking of this, Zhao Mu had an ominous premonition, "Duan Peng, ...... you?"
With a wry smile, Duan Peng said dejectedly: "I'm really unofficial now, and I have no chance with the military uniform now." ”
Zhao Mu's body was shocked, and he was dumbfounded: "How is it possible? How can this be?"
Zhao Mu finally knew why Duan Peng was so depressed, and he had no chance with the military uniform, and it was obvious that Duan Peng was discharged from the army.
As a good friend, Zhao Mu knew very well Duan Peng's feelings for the army, his whole body and mind had already been put in the army, and letting him leave the army was no different from letting him give up his family.
Duan Peng smiled bitterly: "How is it impossible, there are a total of twelve people in the team, five people were sacrificed, and two were seriously injured, someone must be responsible for such a heavy loss." ”
"But this is not a mistake on your command, no one would have thought that the White Elephant military would be so shameless and collude with international mercenaries. ”
"That being said, someone has to be responsible for this matter, and it is impossible to just act as if nothing happened, not to mention that the dogs and their families should also be given an explanation. ”
Zhao Mu was silent, thinking of the red and swollen eyes of the five of them who had just seen the dog, the heart-rending cry, and the crumbling body, Zhao Mu didn't know what to say.
"Boom. Another bottle of wine went down, and Duan Peng smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I can be regarded as having an explanation for the five of them." ”
Zhao Mu opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know where to start several times.
Hand over?
Do you need to give an explanation? Soldiers will inevitably die on the battlefield, this is inevitable, Duan Peng, as the captain of the team, has no problem with his command, does Duan Peng need to give an explanation?
But don't you need it? The five people who sacrificed are living lives, the pride and hope of their respective families, and they must not be sacrificed in vain.
After being silent for a while, Zhao Mu comforted: "Okay, this is also a good thing, if you leave your army, you don't have to be accompanied by death anymore, isn't it good." ”
"Hehe, it's good, it's good. ”
Duan Peng smiled, but Zhao Mu could tell his sadness from his expression.
I thought it was the place where I would end my life, but you put all your hopes on it, and you said that you would leave and leave, who can easily accept such a reality?
The ideal that has been persisting for many years is gone, who can not be sad?
