"Except for some bullet abrasions, nothing else." When Yorkson and Stein inspected our vehicle, it was barely damaged, as expected.

Our battle, which lasted from the first half of the night until five o'clock in the morning, ended with the retreat of the British.

Since there was nothing wrong with our vehicles, we simply went to clean up the battlefield. The scene was particularly chaotic, and we fought for hours on both sides, but not many people were killed, except for the damage caused by the surprise attack of the British army in the early stage, most of them were only lightly wounded; And judging by our later observations, the casualties of the British were not large, and they did not attack desperately after the failure of the first wave of charges.

Of course, there is nothing to say about such a fierce battle as proof of this battle. The night, especially in the second half of the night, was more accurate to say of our battle against the British than of a demolition operation we undertook. Those low-lying buildings occupied by the British, I was more or less cared for by all kinds of shells.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

Soon, two successive noises broke our noisy environment.

The local commander immediately asked loudly: "Who fired the shot?" What's going on? ”

However, the "prisoner" did not need us to look for it, and immediately turned himself in, it was Hans who had a preliminary understanding, just now he was removing a dud bullet and using the method of direct fire from a rifle to detonate it.

I put my hands on his shoulders, bent down and said to him, "Oh, next time there is such a thing, please tell us in advance, don't be so scary." ”

He said confidently: "I just told the brother next to me to stay away, it's okay, I can do it accurately, unlike the one standing next to you." ”

I was next to Vincent, who was unimpressed when he saw himself being ridiculed by name, but his body was already imperceptibly close to Hans. Finally, he strangled Hans from behind and told me that they had a personal matter, and told me that I should go first

After a busy morning, we enjoyed a hearty lunch at noon, which was a general preference, but it was the best for us to be in our current situation and location. And the lunch break after dinner is a rare opportunity for those of us who have not closed our eyes for nearly 30 hours.

At one o'clock in the afternoon we received orders to return to the area of the entrance to the canyon, where the front had been extended in the two days we had been out, and now the main area of contention between the two sides was the underground fortifications. Since it was approaching evening, we were not on a combat mission today, so I gathered Amphitri and Marcus and their two crews, and then sorted out our equipment and prepared for tomorrow's operation.

That night, I had another familiar dream - lightning and thunder, a tank, a soldier but the difference, this time it was no longer the golden tank, but a gray tank, it did not run over me, but drove from my right side and stopped in front of me, a soldier leaned out of the tank and waved to me, and I was about to respond to her, but suddenly it was black in front of me, and I recognized it for a long time before I saw that it was the ceiling of the house where I lived. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I was still thinking about the dream, but I was a little tired, and after a while, I fell asleep again

I covered my head and got up from the bed, thinking back to the dream I had last night, I felt that I had been confused, and it was only a layer of window paper to see those scenes clearly, but it was not so easy to pierce that layer of window paper

"Our goal for today," I stood in front of several of my commanders announcing today's mission.

Before I could finish my sentence, I was interrupted by Amphitri: "Hey, Lieutenant Trode, your map seems to be taken backwards." ”

"Ahh I'm sorry. I scratched my head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Trode, are you alright, I don't think you looked like you were up this morning." Vincent also expressed concern to me.

I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" I just didn't sleep well last night, and I'm still a little sleepy. Well, that's it."

Marcus said with a look of embarrassment, "Sir, you really don't look convincing at all." ”

I pretended to use a serious expression and said, "If I say it's okay, it's okay, okay, our mission today is nothing special." It's still a defensive position, but this time we don't have to run around tiredly, we just need to watch the perimeter of an underground fortification, and the overall pressure should not be large. ”

"Good~"

They were all dejected after listening to the task, and I was helpless to answer this weak answer.

At noon, we were on a mission

"Doesn't seem to be the case." Roy gave a hache and continued, "I've heard that there are a lot of guns in the bunkers ahead, and if we want these tanks to get through, we'll have to rely on the infantry to blow them up from the underground fortifications. ”

I followed him and said, "Well, and I don't think it's going to be done in a while, so let's just hold this defense belt now." ”

Although the mission was boring and it was hard to keep us in the tank on such a hot day, no one complained. Because we all remember the last mission, although we were powerless at that time, but it is also our unshirkable responsibility to defend their rear, and we will not let such failures happen continuously. Our current attitude can be said to comfort their spirits in heaven on the one hand, and it can be said to alleviate the self-condemnation in our hearts.

I looked at my watch and said to them, "It's time for a change of guard, we're ready to go, let's go to lunch, we have enough energy to do good." "We should have been on our way back by this time, but we agreed to wait until the reassigned troops did arrive before evacuating.

Vincent also replied to me: "Well, I see the troops changing guards, just behind, let's withdraw the position first." ”

Just as we had just finished handing over, the front of the car was reversed, and we were ready to withdraw. I heard someone shouting from behind: "The British are coming, prepare for defense!" ”

"Hmph, these guys are really good at picking time."
