Chapter 21 Return to base

The seriously damaged Wuzhi 9, with raging flames and billowing smoke on its tail boom, carried us to the Type 072 amphibious landing ship heading towards us, this time a total of three amphibious landing ships participated in the operation, and the remaining two have been withdrawn. As soon as our car landed on the ship, the firefighters on the deck hurriedly dragged a long water pipe to us, and the stretcher team quickly picked up the body of Captain Xue Weiguo, none of them wanted to believe that Captain Xue's death was real, hoping that all this could be recovered, and the naval doctor hurriedly gave Xue Weiguo the most rigorous first aid procedures, and did not give up the slightest chance of rescuing the soldiers. Covered in injuries, Big Yellow Tooth and two pilots helped each other out of the helicopter, and the emergency team quickly helped us into the trolley and rushed to the operating room on the ship......

When I opened my eyes, I didn't feel the pain of the wounds on my body covered in gauze. The sun was shining outside the porthole, and the scenery was so picturesque that I couldn't believe that it was just the beginning of a big battle. "General Qiu wants to see you, Comrade Liu Yun." The ship's guard pushed open the door and reported. "Is it on a video communication channel?" "No, the old general will see you on deck." "Okay, I'll be right there!" I packed my uniform and went to the deck, only to see no one else except the Wuzhi 9 that had been burned to ashes, and when I looked around again, I heard an old and strong voice behind me: "Child, here I am!" When I looked back, I saw a long, wide platform less than ten meters away from the port side of the ship, and on the right side of the middle of the platform was a tall steel turret and a four-barreled 1000 mm rotary gun, which was the battleship "Shenlong" that all navies longed for. "General!" I hurriedly stood up and saluted. The old general looked at me with a deep gaze: "Your bravery and resourcefulness make me proud of you, child! I was not at all pleased with General Qiu's praise of me, because General Qiu was very old, and now he was only an admiral who was the captain of a ship, and besides, his unruliness on the battlefield was not the spirit of a soldier who took responsibility very seriously. I tried hard to suppress the strong resentment in my heart against him, and said in a calm voice: "We have sacrificed many soldiers, and we have also lost two excellent captains......" "Without sacrifice, there can be no peace!" General Qiu obviously realized that I was blaming him for my words, blaming him for his self-assertion on the battlefield, and his expression was a little annoyed at this time. "Besides, it's your superiors' rough actions on this project and our army's ignorance of extraterrestrial enemies, and I'm just one of them!" I ignored his official authority, and still continued to speak: "I am not qualified to care about whose fault in front of anyone, but the general, you have the highest rank in front of us, so you should naturally have the highest prestige, and I should at least tell you about the sacrifice of the two captains...... You should know at least these too. The elder General Qiu was a little irritated in his loud conversation with me, and his pine-like body trembled a little, and several guards behind him hurriedly supported him. I was suddenly ashamed of my disrespect for the old man.

The old general was not furious at my confrontation with him, and the old general calmed down his emotions a little before he said slowly: "On the battlefield, in the war, nothing will be completely two-faced, and there will be no complete absoluteness. In fact, the appearance of this Shenlong battleship is just a manifestation of our army's scientific and technological expansion......"

"I don't understand, General, could you please be more transparent?"

The old general said in a serious tone: "Everything we have here is just a ploy for the enemy!" Do you understand? As soon as I heard that the old general had talked so lightly about our army's sophisticated planning, I couldn't help but shudder suddenly: "General, this is war!" A serious and cautious war is a war that concerns national interests and the survival of the nation! That's hard to say! I didn't know that the old general was puzzled by my chaos but became angry: "Then do you know why I am still mixed in the army with such an old bone!" Do you know why I was the captain of the Shenlong? That's because I'm old and useless, and I'm looked down upon by those two little muddy balls (here referring to the two old commanders Lin Yiyang and Zhang Bo), let me tell you, we are just a pawn on the battlefield in the East China Sea! Because here it is not at all the core of the battlefield! ......” I really didn't expect the old general to have such a big complaint about the military order, and also make the two chiefs worthless, we all know the strange temper of the old general, I didn't expect that he would say such a thing in a moment of anger and impulse. As soon as these words came out, the whole deck was much quieter, because no one dared to answer his words. Unexpectedly, the old general's expression was much more optimistic now, and a smile appeared on his face, and then he raised his neck and laughed, as if he had vented all the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time. So he turned around and prepared to leave, accompanied by the guards. However, standing on this deck, I panicked, because General Qiu's disobedience to military orders might involve me, and his words were related to state military secrets, which made me very nervous. "General, I hope you can seriously review it in front of your superiors, otherwise the two old chiefs will sanction you." The old general turned back to me with a contemptuous look and said, "Sanction me? All right! Then let them both sanction me! I'm sure I'll be able to wait until then, old bone. There was a big yellow tooth's voice behind him, and I don't know when these two goods came to the deck: "Old general, you are going to go home!" Admiral Qiu Xiaoluo smiled with a kind and kind face: "Oh! Yes! I'm going to go to the Mariana Trench to recuperate for a few days! "Take care of yourself, old man! Hopefully we'll have a chance to meet again! Big Yellow Tooth said. Unexpectedly, the old general was interested, and also joked: "I think Xiao Huang, your body is very good!" It's sturdy! As long as you don't get past the enemy's bullets on the battlefield, I think we have more chances to meet! The big yellow tooth, who didn't know the current affairs, must have misunderstood the meaning of the old general's humor to play the round, so he grinned and shouted at the Shenlong battleship that was gradually moving away: "Chief! I mean, I'm afraid that your old man's body and bones can't withstand tossing in the sea, in case there are three long and two short, then ...... in our troops" Without waiting for Big Yellow Tooth to say the next words, the soldier next to him quickly covered his mouth, you say that you Lao Huang is like a fool, speaking without thinking about the brain, and not looking at who he is talking to. I saw that the old general on the deck of the battleship opposite and several guards beside him were embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so I quickly pretended to be angry and yelled at Big Yellow Fang: "Ahem! You really deserve to say that! So I stretched out my hand and prepared to hit him. I could only say to him, "I'm really afraid that your black face will stain my hands, so I order you to slap yourself twice now!" ”

Big Yellow Fang then hit himself symbolically twice with his two hands with a face full of grievance. I shouted angrily, "No! The voice is too small, and our chief can't hear it! I then called to the warrior next to me: "Little Wang! You go and help him!

"Hahaha! Ha ha! Ahem! ”...... The old general laughed happily, and then coughed a few more times. The decks of both battleships were filled with joyful laughter. In the barracks of mechanized elite troops in the depths of the steppe. "In view of your courage and resourcefulness, you have enough talent to be promoted to the knighthood, Comrade Liu Yun!" Old Commander Lin Yiyang patted me on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "It's just that you are still a young team, and you are too lacking in battlefield experience, and you don't have enough actual combat experience, so you will suffer in the high-intensity battlefield in the future!" Several of our soldiers who had returned from the East China Sea battlefield stood in a neat line, listening to the chief's speech. The old commander Zhang Bo said humorously at our wounded soldiers: "General Qiu's popularity is good, right?" ”

Big Yellow Tooth had never seen Admiral Qiu Xiaoming's temper, so he replied with a stunned snort: "Chief, General Qiu is very kind and very close to people!" "Hahaha, haha!" Commander Zhang and Commander Lin laughed together. Commander Zhang Lao held a document in his hand and put on reading glasses and said to us: "In the early hours of last night, we received an unknown signal from outer space, although we can't decipher it now, but the extremely strong electromagnetic message will definitely not be groundless. "Is there a situation about that enemy aircraft carrier in the East China Sea?" I asked.

"It is very likely that, according to the information from the Shenlong, the enemy aircraft carrier was not destroyed, but hid deeper in the ocean, and it seems that they are preparing to compromise!" "They will never make peace with us! Mr. Zhang," Commander Lin said anxiously: "They are asking us for mercy!" Because they are invaders from another time and space! Relying on this small battle achievement, I cheekily grabbed the words of the two old chiefs and said: "The two chiefs, maybe they are asking for a compromise, because we are the first to attack them, but before that, we have not made it clear whether they are friends or foes. How do you know that my words angered Commander Lin Yiyang, "Young man, do we have to sacrifice before we are willing to fight back?" If they are here to live in peace with us, why didn't they talk to us with a message that we could understand?! The old marshal was speechless in a few words. "There is absolutely no way they can live in peace with us, let alone compromise!" Commander Lin turned his head to look at the blue sky and the endless grassland outside the window, and said bitterly: "They are an army that is not afraid of death, their military quality is by no means worse than ours, they have never considered planning to withdraw their troops when they drove their warships full of weapons to the earth...... Commander Zhang walked up behind Commander Lin and said, "We know very little about them, don't we?" Mr. Lin? The old commander Lin Yiyang turned his head, his resolute face revealed a hatred for the war and a look of imminent fire in his heart, "This is definitely a challenge to us!" Commander Lin turned to look at us soldiers and said, "Because they have transferred a Pioneer spacecraft from outer space to our scientific test site......
