Chapter 54: The Words of War
It wasn't until many years later that I saw such a scene in a foreign film and television drama, maybe it was a coincidence, it was very similar to my current situation, and I believe that many friends who are interested in military affairs know which movie it is.
A frightened soldier hid, and then an enemy soldier spotted him, and two soldiers from different countries were looking at each other, and they both hesitated for a moment, the moment was short-lived, fleeting, but then their hearts quickly knew what to do next, and as a result, the enemy soldier spared the poor fellow.
Just as I'm staring at him right now, he's staring at me and the magpie, and under his helmet is a young face, and I bet he's definitely not more than 22 years old, a young kid.
He was wearing a Sidewinder Reconnaissance Corps combat uniform and a silenced rifle behind him, and he looked at me in a daze.
Am I going to kill him? I kept asking myself in my heart, kill him, and we will die.
I slowly put my index finger to my mouth to signal him to be silent, my eyes went from murderous to begging, and the pistol in my other hand was prepared for the worst.
Those few seconds of staring at each other were as long as a century, and my heart almost jumped to my throat.
I saw that he shone the flashlight away in the next second, and then slowly retreated as if he didn't see us.
He chose to hide from his superiors, he knew who we were, but he didn't say anything, he looked at us and pretended to look away, as if we were just air in his eyes.
After he left, he left me and the magpie in a state of panic, and we didn't recover for a while, and the enemy only had to shout that we would be doomed, but he didn't, but retreated.
The magpie whispered, "How do you know he won't be quiet?" ”
She was also scared enough to ask.
I remembered Yang Yuan's words and whispered: "The intuition of a soldier." ”
Later, I couldn't help but laugh at myself, bullshit intuition, I never expected that the enemy could go back and not expose me, but it just happened, can you explain it in any way?
Everyone is an individual, I don't know what his name is, what he has been through, according to common sense, we may be dead now, but we really survived, is it logical?
In reality, there is no logic at all.
The young enemy went down and left with the group.
I don't know what his name is, he doesn't know why he didn't expose me.
I have the impression that their country and our country had a joint military exercise a few years ago, at that time I was still my original unit, and the results of the exercise needless to say, a special forces and affiliated units of this country were hammered on the ground by us, which did not demean anything, my original unit was a special force that was famous in the world, and both the quality of individual soldiers and teamwork were far behind them.
I saw that our captain began to talk to their leader with a smile, and the leader's face, which was already blackened, looked a little purple.
Isn't this a slap in the face from afar?
The instructor also privately told us to save some face, but it's a friendship league between the two countries, and we can't hurt the harmony.
Anyway, that's the thing, during this period I also knew a lot of soldiers who participated in the exercise, everyone was very friendly, and they got along relatively well, and a relatively tall guy said to me: "Dust! I really don't want to run into you on the battlefield. ”
I don't remember his name very well, he was a sergeant major who led the team at that time, after all, I was a recruit at that time, four or five years old, and now that I think about it, those soldiers who should have been discharged from the army were almost discharged.
I patted him on the shoulder: "I don't want to touch you, we're friends." ”
"Oh yes, we're friends and hopefully it won't be that day."
This is a dialogue between the soldiers of the two countries, and we actually know very well in our hearts that this is possible, no matter how good we think, it is just our own wishful thinking, and how can international affairs and national affairs be decided by us soldiers?
When that day comes, we won't take up arms against each other, we're all fighting for our own country, which is a very realistic and cruel thing.
A city built for tens or hundreds of years can be destroyed with a few **, and a young man who has been raised by his parents for more than 20 years will be gone with a single bullet.
War is so ruthless, how many bullets can that little between people resist?
But now, we're living the way we didn't want to be.
The sound faded away, and the magpie and I lay motionless on the rocks beneath us, for fear that they would kill us.
My mind was also in a mess, I didn't know what I was thinking, it was just a mess anyway.
The magpie pushed me behind me: "You should go far, go out a little, squeeze me to death." ”
I reacted, then flipped my backpack over and slowly poked my head out to observe the situation below the canyon.
After confirming that it was safe, I lay back and said, "Gone, it's okay." ”
"Wait until dawn, we can't leave now, I'm afraid they still have the remnants of their forces searching for us."
I nodded: "Okay, it's safe here anyway, I'll leave at dawn." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it."
I moved a little outside and placed my backpack between us, after all, there is a difference between men and women, and this basic politeness is still there.
It's three o'clock in the morning, and the low temperature in the air seems to have peaked, and the rock beneath us is slowly turning like an ice block.
Coupled with a gust of demon wind from time to time, the two of us lay on it and couldn't help shivering, and the breath exhaled from our noses and mouths turned into a white mist.
I couldn't help but squeeze inside, but the magpie didn't do it to me because it was too cold.
No, no, the temperature has dropped too much, and if you stay any longer, you will be like a popsicle, I turned to her and said, "Why don't we go down?"
The magpie rubbed his hands, and then nodded, it's too cold to stay here, anyway, the enemy has already gone far, maybe now the team has been stationed now, we might as well lie here and freeze and go down and bang luck.
I sat up carefully, then looked around, and after making sure it was safe, I put my backpack on my back, and then motioned for the magpie to go down and have a look.
She agreed, and I slowly climbed down the rock wall.
Then I raised my gun and said, "Come down, safe." ”
When the magpie heard this, he quickly climbed down the rock wall.
"I think they've already closed the team, or we should seize this opportunity to get out of this canyon." I said.
"Hmm," said the magpie, "their search party just now found no trace of us, and must have seen the corpses of those enemy soldiers and the locators that I had destroyed." ”
"So what you mean?"
"I'm not sure what they're going to do, you're right, we need to get out of here now."
As soon as the voice fell, a signal suddenly came from our headphones, "Boom~"
Magpie and I thought it was the other party touching the headphones and looked at each other.
"Boom~~" The voice sounded again.
The sound of these signals is also mixed with the conversation between the two people.
The magpie and I squatted on the ground and listened carefully, the electromagnetic interference was so loud that the sound of people talking was negligible, and we could only occasionally hear someone talking.
"It seems to be Chinese! Is it Channel 12? ”
I said, "We've always been on this channel, and we can't go wrong." ”
Could it be Yang Yuan? Magpie pressed and held the headphones: "Yang Yuan, Yang Yuan?" Can I receive it? ”
It didn't take long for a louder sound to come from the headphones, but I could still hear someone make a brief reply, because it was two words, and there was a bunch of things behind it.
None of us could hear clearly.
I said, "It's still a long way from where you booked, and it looks like they haven't gotten there, so it's certainly not going well." ”
"With this possibility, we should be fine if we go out and get closer to them."
"Good!"
After checking the equipment, we cautiously walked out of the valley with our guns in hand, facing the cold air in the air.
