The war is over!

Of course, this was just a thought of the soldiers, and the war did not end, at least not because of the surrender agreement signed by the Governor of the New South Wales colony. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The war still continues, because the colonies are vast, and on the vast colonies, there is still resistance, and for the fighters, the fighting continues.

A few corpses!

A few corpses lay in such a mess on the desolate field, the corpses already emitted a strong stench, no one knew how they died, these were the bodies of several white immigrants, men and women.

They were killed by the purging soldiers? Or was he killed by bandits?

No one knows, but one thing is certain, no one will use it to investigate the cause of their deaths, and at most people will look at them with pity, and then look away as if they had never seen them before.

As Li Renjie has repeatedly asked himself, they don't even care about their own lives, let alone the lives of their enemies.

On the battlefield, if they regard the lives of their enemies as careless, they will no longer value their own lives. This emotion of despising oneself and not valuing one's own life is not consciously imposed on oneself, but is unconsciously formed in the process of contempt for the enemy. It can be said that they have completely forgotten their personal future, and have completely lost the ability to value their lives and bodies.

This is a kind of almost a pathological disease, in a serious trance, as long as they are safe and sound in battle, no matter how many comrades around them fall, they will not wake up. To be more precise. The more fierce the fighting, the worse their pathology became. It is only when the enemy's bullet has punched a hole in their body that they suddenly realize their existence and realize that they are facing death, and that at other times, death has never affected them.

War is always like this, it destroys everything that is best.

Facing these corpses on the side of the road, if it was when he first came to Australia, Li Renjie might have buried them with his comrades, which is a kind of etiquette, but now, they seem a little numb, just glance at it, and then look away, not because they have lost their sympathy, but because they have become accustomed to life and death, and have forgotten life and death, including their own life and death.

Eventually, a few corpses were left far behind them, and the warriors continued to march towards the hinterland of the continent in order to plant the flag in every settlement and tell the British immigrants that now that the war was over and they had to accept Chinese rule.

Of course, not every white immigrant was willing to give up resistance, after all, there were convicts from England who had been a penal colony, and who may have been expelled from the British, but who were the most stubborn in resistance.

Compared with the battlefield full of rainforests on the other side of the Great Dividing Range, after crossing the Great Dividing Range, there is a plain with a flat river, to be precise, a semi-desolate grassland, the soldiers marching on horseback, it is in this unconcealed grassland, encountered the resistance of British immigrants, in the sound of British gunfire, Li Renjie lay under a thick eucalyptus tree and shot in the direction where the gunfire came. The ridge formed by the roots below the roots of the eucalyptus tree is less than half a foot high, and of course it cannot cover the body.

After a few shots, the smoke betrayed the enemy, and also revealed his position, and with a "whoosh", one of the enemy's bullets came from the front, grazed the edge of the hat on his head, flew backwards, pierced the heel of his shoe, and at the moment of being hit, his whole body was like an electric shock. Immediately I felt an electric current from my right foot to the base of my thigh.

"Hit!"

The moment he realized that he had been hit, a layer of goosebumps immediately appeared all over his body, and the blood all over his body surged to the top of his head, and at that moment he felt that the battlefield in front of him had changed, and even his sight and hearing had changed.

Everything changed in that instant, his vision became clear, his hearing became clear, he saw the scenery outside, and every color became clear. There are so many colors in the world.

In his clearer hearing, the whistling of shells, clear to his ears, the sound of rifle fire, echoing in the open grassland, all as if it were happening around him, every sound became extremely clear, as if it were a sudden sound. Before that, he seemed to be in a world where there was no sound, and it was an incredible change, so much so that he even wondered if he had been in a state of death until this moment, and only then did he come back to life.

I don't know how long it took, he felt that the danger had faded, it seemed that life had returned to his body, it seemed that at this moment, he had regained his long-lost soul, but all this was terrifying, he felt for the first time that he was lying behind a big tree was a real existence, he felt that there were so many dangers around him, he couldn't help but tremble all over, and even he was like the first time he went to battle, the whole person was trembling and fearing there.

"What I shouldn't be afraid of, what I shouldn't be afraid of......"

Then he lowered his body as low as he could, and retracted his foot to look at it, and then he saw that the heel of his shoe had been pierced diagonally, revealing the socks, which he and many others had not gotten used to wearing until he had entered the army.

Looking at the hole, looking at the sock, it took a while for him to realize that he was not injured and that he was undoubtedly lucky.

"Hoo ......"

Lying behind the roots of the tree, he let out a long breath as he felt his pounding heart slowly calm down. His temples were throbbing, and he felt a headache clinging to the ground.

At this point, he began to imagine the possibility that if his heels were raised an inch more, his feet would no longer want to walk normally, and if his head was raised another inch, he would now be lying on the ground as a unconscious corpse.

Yes, everything is just an inch of things!

It only takes that one inch for his fate to change radically.

"I almost died!"

Thinking of this, Li Renjie's whole person was extremely frightened, cold sweat oozed from his forehead and armpits, and the cold sweat kept bubbling, so that the whole body of others also became paralyzed at this time, and he even felt that he didn't even have the strength to raise his head.

This kind of horror, since the landing in Australia last autumn, in the beginning, in those few battles that were not too fierce, he had a few experiences that were not worth mentioning. In the future, like my comrades-in-arms, I will never have this feeling again.

And now, this time, I suddenly felt that feeling, everything was so clear.

At this time, the whistle sounded, and in the whistle, the mortars in the platoon began to fire at the places where the resistance gathered, and the fighters, under the cover of artillery fire, charged the white resistance, everything was easy, and while the British were there loading their rifles with bullets, the bayonets of their comrades sank into their chests.

The battle was over, and the thirteen resistance elements were all killed, compared to the indifference to the corpses on the side of the road, although the resistance of these resistance caused the death of a comrade-in-arms, but under the order of the platoon commander, they still dug a cemetery for these resistance, and then tied a cross for them with a rope, and wrote on the cross, in Chinese.

"British Resistance Cemetery"

It was a tribute to the courage of the resistance, and to the soldiers, and even though they were not soldiers, their courage was still commendable, after all, they were still fighting there after the government announced their surrender.

Standing in front of the graves of these resistants, Li Renjie quietly looked at the cross, now he imagined a question in his mind, who fired that shot, he could never know the answer, he looked at the front-loading rifles on the ground, if their rifles were a little more accurate, maybe he would be dead by now.

"Hey, what a bunch of guys who don't know whether to live or die......"

Suddenly, a comrade-in-arms next to him said casually, as if he was sighing for the stupidity of these people, lamenting that their mantis arms that did not know whether to live or die were used as cars, and lamenting that they were actually fighting without their own strength,

"Yes, it's just death, I see that their weapon actually has a smoothbore gun......"

"No, they don't want to think about it, even the army is not our opponent, let alone their ......"

The soldiers have too many reasons to laugh at their indiscretion, because they are indeed inadequate, and thirteen people would actually attack a reinforced infantry platoon of more than fifty people, this is not looking for death, what is looking for death?

"Well, their courage is respectable......"

Suddenly, the platoon commander interrupted the soldiers, he looked at the weapons on the ground, and then said in a serious tone.

"In any case, they are worthy of respect, and even worthy of our learning, if when Jiashen Lu sank, my Chinese people could be like them, in the face of foreign invasions, and be able to fight to the death, how could there be two hundred years of Manchu enslavement?"

The platoon commander's words made the soldiers immediately fall into silence, and Li Renjie, who had been uncertain in the face of these dead enemies, looked at the humble tombstone and thought silently in his heart.

"Is their resistance due to the alien race that has occupied this place?"
