――――The following text――――

The smoke that had not yet drifted away was no longer so pungent. Looking at the vaguely retreating figure of the enemy on the opposite side, Li Lan collapsed weakly on the city wall.

The scenes he had just experienced were like movie shots, constantly flashing in front of his eyes. But it's far from being comparable to those pale movie plots.

Shells, bombardments, explosions, and the sudden, doomsday-like scene completely subverted Li Lan's definition of battle and even war. In the face of the enemy's bombardment, what he did seemed so pale and powerless, the only thing he could do was to humbly shrink in the corner, praying in his heart that all this would stop.

However, the cessation of the shelling only heralded the beginning, and when he saw the dense enemy and the huge armored vehicle spitting fire snakes in front of him, Li Lan found that he was so frightened that he forgot the feeling of fear.

All of this began with a 'typing' of his own, and the essentials of training with the mobilized soldiers are obviously not very clear now, the only thing I remember is to repeat the aim countless times, to fire, to change the magazine......

The battle was so nervous that people didn't even have time to think, and every time they returned fire, they would get a more violent rain of bullets, and the only thing Li Lan could do was to poke the muzzle of the gun out of the cover and shoot a few shots indiscriminately and then move immediately, so that the bullets were still like disgusting flies, flying around his head and left and right, smelling the smell of the soil roasted by the hot bullets, he found for the first time that he was so close to death. It was as if any bullet could penetrate the not solid cover and tear itself out of a hole easily if it wanted to go a little longer.

It's annoying, it's the one who caused this disaster, and it's officially yourself.

With such complicated emotions, Li Lan continued the unfinished battle, and to his surprise, he had forgotten the fear that had been pestering him before, and every tactical movement and shooting essentials he had learned in the barracks suddenly appeared in his mind very clearly at this moment.

Finally, in this impulse of surprise mixed with anger, Li Lan ushered in the first break in the battle after arriving at the city wall.

After talking to Farah on the phone, Li Lan asked Muhammadi to rest, and then he came to the city wall, this time braving the sound of gunfire, and when he saw the enemy approaching by the black press, the only thing he could do was to take up his arms and join the battle.

It's an instinct, an instinct that is unwilling to accept the status quo.

At this time, the soldiers who fought with him were all fresh troops who had rested for a while, and Ahmet was sent to the rear by his compulsory order to rest, while he was irrationally pressed against the city wall.

This is by no means his character, because he is not the kind of person who does not sacrifice, and with the presence of the base, he does not want to die at all. But there was no reason for everything, seeing his soldiers fighting back one by one, he unconsciously took up his weapon and vented his anger on the enemy.

Even he couldn't figure out now that he would do it. And he can't go down now, the mobilized soldiers are also human beings, and they also have feelings, and their own existence makes their fighting spirit reach its peak in an instant. He didn't dare to go down, because he didn't know if such a high morale would collapse in an instant if he left like this.

The enemy had no choice but to retreat, and the three armored vehicles that launched another charge were all destroyed, and one of them even drove to thirty meters of the city wall, and then was blown out of a large hole by the preset anti-tank mines.

At that time, there were cheers everywhere on the city wall, but now, Li Lan found that everyone was more or less silent, and the soldiers, who did not know how to smoke, were desperately smoking cigarettes from nowhere, looking at us, as if they were not smoking but eating.

The two soldiers were carefully guarding the soldier whose arm had been cut off in the battle, as if neither of them mentioned his injuries in order to avoid irritating him, and Li Lan had just seen that the hygienist had picked up his unrecognizable stump from the shrapnel that had cut off his arm and threw it into the haode incineration pit dug behind the city wall.

Because of the hot weather in Africa, the corpses must be destroyed as soon as possible, and many burning pits were dug inside the city walls, and the soldiers who died in battle were burned every day to prevent the breeding of diseases.

"Let's go see the squad leader! I'm fine. Weakly glanced at the comrades-in-arms beside him, and the mobilized soldier codenamed Lao Si whispered to the others, although he didn't know Weishenme, Li Lan found that he knew that the fourth was telling the truth, compared to the soldiers who had just died, even the fourth was the happiest person. The poor boss received this seemingly beautiful title just because he slept in the closest place to the door, and a hateful mortar shell just now completely froze him here.

"Give me the cigarette." Li Lan has always disliked smoking, because he thinks that smoking is killing people's will, but when he saw those soldiers who were spitting clouds, he felt that he needed cigarettes at this moment.

"Ahh Commander. The fourth child was obviously stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he immediately took out a cigarette and helped Li Lan light it.

Taking a deep breath and slowly spitting it out, Li Lan asked the fourth child beside him, "Do you have any ideals?" ”

Compared with the others, Li Lan found that this fourth child was the calmest now, and as soon as he helped him light a cigarette, the fourth child took out the sapper shovel again, shoveled the scattered sand into the bag, and then tied the straps filled with sand and soil and stacked them on the battlements.

Hear the questions asked by the godlike commander in your heart. The fourth child stopped the sapper shovel in his hand, he admitted that he was afraid of death, he didn't believe it at all, and he didn't even expect that he could be a hero, especially after arriving at the battlefield, he hoped that he could live, even if he lived for one more minute. He hopes that he can live with Haode, retire from the army, have his own house, and then find a partner to marry and have children, and then happily worry about the trivial things in life with them. And to do all this, the only way out is to live, to survive on the battlefield of nine deaths.

You can't join the enemy, you can't betray your friends, you can't run away~! This is a bottom line set by every mobilized soldier for himself, and the fourth child is also in the hospital, and other than that, he feels that there is nothing to worry about.

The sandbags need to be built a little higher, the anti-artillery holes need to be stronger, and the ammunition is calculated. When others were resting, the fourth child silently tired himself half to death, and all this was just to meet the simplest requirements and let himself survive.

"My dream is to live by following the orders of my commander. Do not defect to the enemy, do not betray friends, do not run away. The fourth child's eyes slowly became firm, and he replied sonorously.

At this time, the soldiers next to him also shouted in unison: "Always be loyal to the commander, fulfill the sacred mission assigned by the commander without worries and unconditionally, do not defect to the enemy, do not betray friends, and do not run away." ”

"You're all good!" Li Lan was very useful, looking at these soldiers of different skin colors from him, listening to their loud slogans, he suddenly felt that these people were his closest people.

"Fourth battalion commander, have the statistics come up?" Moved, Li Lan cheered up unprecedentedly, picked up the binoculars, looked at the enemy who was regrouping in the distance outside the city, and asked loudly to a major not far away.

"According to statistics, there are 33 combat attrition, of which 14 were killed and 19 were seriously injured, and they have now been sent to the hospital, and the minor injuries are still being counted." The fourth battalion commander held a crumpled piece of manuscript paper and bowed his head and read.

"Calculate the ammunition, and if it is insufficient, let the troops in charge of logistics replenish it immediately."

Li Lan knew very well that he wanted to defend this place by all means, while the enemy wanted to kill him by all means.

In order to buy more time, he needs to organize a strong counterattack, and he must let those parties outside see his strength, and it is best to let the other party retreat, not to mention that he can't let these enemies in front of him take the initiative to retreat, but also to fight for enough bargaining chips.

This was what he had to do after talking to Falah, and it was more urgent and important than building defensive units on the walls.

As long as he can show enough deterrence and then start a conversation with Farah, he is confident that he can start to turn the situation in his favor.

And in order to accomplish this, he needs a strong offensive means to achieve it.
