Chapter 21: An Upright Heart
The six mercenaries sat together silently, their captain David, with a spotlight flashlight, carefully observing the map, as the supreme commander of this force, he really had a lot of contradictory questions, and he had to think clearly in order to find a way home for the entire army!
And this mercenary unit, the vice-captain Whirlwind, who had just lost his most important comrade-in-arms, was slowly sharpening the M9 multi-functional saber he had taken from the rabbit with a small whetstone. Occasionally, when the whirlwind blade is reversed, a few chilling rays of moonlight will be reflected.
Everyone remained silent, except for the slight tooth-sore sound of the whetstone and blade touching each other, and the characteristic rustle of the mountain wind as it swept through the treetops.
I don't know how long it took for Captain David to slowly exhale a long breath, he first glanced at the whirlwind that was still sharpening his knife, and finally his gaze swept over everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "Mission failed, retreat!" ”
According to the mercenary guidelines, if you enter a sovereign country with strong military strength like China, once you fail in your mission, you must retreat immediately!
They are mercenaries, a group of migrant workers who have no other specialties to make money except for military technology, and can only go to the battlefield to earn some hard-earned money, they are definitely not death squads!
As soon as he heard the word "retreat", Whirlwind jumped violently, stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, and whispered: "No! Our brother's life was lost like this?! ”
This time they failed in their mission, and it was indeed a bit inexplicable!
If the enemy really planned and set up an ambush trap, then their fox mercenary unit must face a huge number of professional troops, even if they are not completely annihilated, they will lose at least six team members, including the deputy captain Whirlwind, and they will not evacuate the target area so easily.
But if no one sets a trap for them to fall into the net, with their excellent military technology, and their perfect infiltration plan, coupled with their strong internal cohesion, intelligence leaks, the possibility of mission failure is very small.
It is such a contradiction that makes David unable to find out the truth of the incident from the fog, in the face of this kind of confusion, which may wipe out their team at any time, looking at the whirlwind of the deputy captain who is disobeying at such a critical moment, David frowned and said in a low voice: "Execute it immediately, this is an order!" ”
With an arrogant expression, Whirlwind slowly raised his chin, and as soon as he saw his signature move, David, who was the captain and eldest brother, screamed in his heart, he knew his surname as the vice captain too well. Sure enough, the whirlwind "Brute Bull's" temper flare up again, he stared at a pair of big eyes, and desperately pinched the M9 multi-functional saber in his hand, which was so sharp that it made people's hearts hairy, and stood there motionless, without the slightest intention of accepting orders.
The other team members were affected by the whirlwind of the vice-captain, and they had obviously stood up, but their expressions began to hesitate. They are all from the same country, have the same beliefs and moral codes, and spend much more time together than members of other mercenary units, and naturally have a much deeper relationship. They watched their three companions die inexplicably, so dead that they didn't even have their bodies left, and to say that they had no anger or grief in their hearts was a lie!
David accentuated his tone and said in a deep voice: "Although we are mercenaries, on the battlefield, we must have stricter discipline than regular troops, otherwise none of us will be able to return home alive from the worst!" ”
In the end, David's tone had gradually turned stronger: "Whirlwind, don't be too fragile!" If you continue to do this, you are not eligible to stay in the FOX mercenary organization at all! Since you have chosen to be a mercenary and entered this industry that dances with death, you should clearly know that the battlefield is merciless! ”
Whirlwind laughed, he laughed suddenly, and he said softly: "But, people have affection! ”
Whirlwind slammed open his own shirt, revealing his chest muscles, which were as hard as granite and contained powerful explosive strength, "Captain, you're right, we're mercenaries, but if we want to survive, we must have stricter discipline than professional soldiers. So...... As the vice-captain, it's my responsibility to help you punish the bastards who disobey your orders! ”
The sharp M9 saber slashed through Whirlwind's chest, bringing out a shocking blood mark, and the blood gushing out wildly soaked through Whirlwind's military uniform in an instant. At this time, the whirlwind was trembling all over his body in pain, but he still gritted his teeth and held on to his body. He glared at David and hissed: "Now, as the deputy head of the FOX mercenary group, I announce that the whirlwind has been officially expelled from the fox mercenary group from now on because of the bad circumstances of disobedience!" ”
Stunned, facing this scene, facing the whirlwind that was covered in blood all over his body and had already made up his mind, everyone including Captain David was stunned.
If a mercenary is expelled from the mercenary organization on the spot because of his disobedience on the battlefield, then his future in the mercenary profession will inevitably be dark! No matter how superb his professional skills are, but if he wants to survive on the battlefield, relying on the strength of the team and the tacit understanding of the members to cooperate with each other, unless it is a small organization that really can't recruit people, no one will be willing to recruit a soldier who is on the verge of disobedience, and is likely to lead the entire army to death!
Whirlwind untied his self-defense pistol, and all the bullet chains, he took off his walkie-talkie, he untied all his equipment, and placed them neatly on the sawww.xstxt.org9 multi-purpose saber, which was the last relic that the rabbit had left him, and the only weapon he used for revenge.
Whirlwind, he saluted David seriously, "I'm sorry, Commander!" ”
David looked at the man in front of him like a wounded beast with a crazy aura with a complicated expression, he knew that at this time, no matter what he said, he would not be able to redeem his vice-captain.
is this man called Whirlwind, he is from the western part of the United States, and in his body, he still has the romance and bravery of a western cowboy, it is the vast sky and earth in the west that makes Whirlwind dare to love and hate, and he is frank like a big boy who can never grow up.
Whirlwind is thirty-seven years old this year, but after more than ten years of war training, he has not been able to have fox-like forbearance and cunning, in fact, until now, he has not learned to hide his emotions. He is on the battlefield, more simple like a crazy wild horse, like a crazy whirlwind, if you can see the picture of him fighting bloodily on the battlefield, you will definitely think that he is not so much a qualified beauty [***] person, but more like a member of the kamikaze death squad during World War II!
A man like him with a simple heart and the strongest will is a real hero, and once he makes up his mind, he will never repent! Once he stretches out his hands of friendship to another man, unless it is betrayed by the other party, the friendship between them is enough to accompany them to the end of their life journey!
David hesitated, slowly raised his right hand, and returned a military salute to the whirlwind.
Whirlwind lowered his right hand, and once again he faced David, bending his waist. "I'm sorry, big brother!"
Hearing this, even David, who was accustomed to life and death and had long since stopped taking human life as a thing, couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He knew the Whirlwind too well, and he understood the meaning behind what he said. Whirlwind is saying goodbye to him, saying goodbye to him as a mercenary vice-captain and a brother, if Whirlwind can't successfully avenge the rabbit, their parting will likely be a farewell!
Seeing the whirlwind, proudly puffing up his slightly trembling chest, and striding towards the direction they had been, David had an indescribable faint jealousy in his heart. In his life, there are too many things to take into account and too many questions to think about, and he is destined to never be like a whirlwind, dare to love and hate, and it is impossible to live a man's persistence and freedom like a whirlwind!
David opened his mouth a few times, and he didn't make any sound after all.
What if he stops the whirlwind?
Can he lead his team members desperately to fight for the three mercenaries who have already died? It is certainly very cool to be hot-blooded and happy to have revenge, but how much money does their fox mercenary group have that can allow him, the head of the regiment, to squander it at will?
David stood there dumbfounded, and with the other six team members, watched the whirlwind disappear into the dark mountains. David only felt a kind of sullen breath in his heart, and he couldn't spit it out, but in this case, he still had to try to maintain the dignity of a supreme commander, he swept his eyes around, and ordered in a deep voice: "Retreat immediately!" ”
At this time, in David's walkie-talkie, he suddenly received a report from the soldiers he sent out to guard everywhere: "Captain, there is a situation here, you had better come over in person!" ”
Looking at the canopy weeds that were thrown on the ground by Wan Likai for camouflage, plus a slingshot that only children can play with, and then looking at the pile of footprints they left not far from this pile of weeds, thinking back to what they had done here two hours ago, and what they had said, Captain David's eyes slowly rose a trace of blood red.
Understood, everything is understood!
At this time, Captain David finally understood where there was a loophole in their military operations.
"Fuck you!"
Captain David was really about to go crazy, he kicked out hard, and the weeds flew all over the sky by him, and behind him, there were seven mercenaries with the same iron faces.
They are all from the most elite special forces of the U.S. Army, and after joining the FOX mercenary organization, they have been fighting all over the world for many years, and they can really be called experienced in a hundred battles. In their lives, they had been ambushed more than once, and more than once, they had to face the traps of the enemy, but they had never encountered such a situation.
As long as they look at this enemy they have never met, the camouflage props left on the scene, and the chaos between them, there are too many left for them to analyze, so that they can see through the clues of the depth of the Tao at a glance, and the eight hired names present will understand that that guy is purely a layman!
But the more this is the case, the more it makes everyone present feel bored!
A layman who was not very skilled in camouflage and should have exposed too many loopholes, God knows why, would have had the foresight to lurk less than twenty meters away from them in a big way, eavesdropped on all their conversations, and turned a classic infiltration raid into a moth to a fire-like suicide operation.
When all the fog was cleared and the target appeared clearly in front of them again, all the uneasiness and danger factors were eliminated, and their target was only to get the news ten minutes in advance, and their target was still a pregnant woman without any real weapons!
David looked down at the pile of weeds that had been thrown into a mess by Wan Likai, and he tried to think hard, trying to restore the essence of the incident through these clues.
Beside that target, there should be a man who has received military training, but his movements are still not standard enough, and his actual combat experience is pitifully even less. Looking at his rough movements, and as soon as he heard important news, he didn't even complete the necessary aftermath work, and ran wildly, it is estimated that he is a big boy about twenty years old, who has not yet learned to plan and act, let alone learn to face danger with a calm attitude. Although he didn't know why he was unexpectedly lurking here and overhearing his battle order, Captain David could now be sure that it was definitely an unexpected coincidence!
David suddenly ordered, "Bring the map!" ”
A mercenary quickly unfolded the map and sent it to David, and David's gaze quickly moved on the map as the circle of light from the spotlight continued to drift.
How far can a pregnant woman who is six months pregnant, who only has ten minutes to prepare, and who has to use the gas canister to make a deadly trap?!
Probably, at that time, she was less than 500 meters away, quietly admiring the death trap she designed, how to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and then prayed in her heart, hoping that their mercenary force could retreat from the difficulty, right?!
A faint sneer rose from the corner of Captain David's mouth, and as the fog was lifted, their mission returned to its original starting point.
David led the mercenaries around him, turned around and walked back, he thought to himself as he walked: "I can still bring the target to the designated place safely, so that we can successfully complete the mission and get a high reward of 18 million US dollars." As for the bastard boy next to her who eavesdropped on our conversation, I could put it in the hands of Whirlwind and leave it at his disposal. The death of the rabbit is inextricably linked to that kid, and with his blood, he can barely calm the whirlwind's anger, right?! In that case, I will scold the whirlwind in public, and then invite him to go out and relax when I return home, and enjoy the Hawaiian sun and sand with the beautiful and spicy English wild girls, and I can bring him back to our fox mercenary group. ”
If Wan Likai knew that it was just because of his panic and lack of necessary experience that this group of mercenaries who had already chosen to fail to evacuate the battlefield would have enough courage to make a comeback, he would definitely regret it and die, right?
"Yes, yes, you're doing a great job!"
After listening to Wan Likai's "legendary story", Ya Jieer clearly knew that even if Wan Likai got up in the morning, he often forgot to fold the quilt, and in the overly panicked situation at that time, it was very difficult for him to be in the mood to slowly sort out the weeds used for camouflage, put them back in their original positions, and try not to attract the attention of others.
Although she sighed again and again in her heart, Yajieer still had an indifferent smile, and affirmed and praised Wan Likai's outstanding actions to a considerable extent, no wonder Wan Likai is now scratching his head and smirking at the same time.
In fact, for a big boy who had just entered the Fifth Special Force Elite Training School and was kicked into her as a teacher in a mountain village elementary school, it was quite admirable to be able to do this, and there was really no need to demand anything from him.
Think about it, Wan Likai obviously knew that when he came back, he might face a group of mercenaries with rich combat experience, and in order to ensure that his identity was not revealed, anyone except Yajieer would kill him, but Wan Likai still ran back. To be able to do this, it is no longer as simple as using the words "righteousness" or "courage".
In the face of Yajie'er's inquiry, Wan Likai's answer was quite natural and quite simple, as simple as Zhao Jianping, who was not good at words, in his usual tone: "You are my master!" ”
Looking at Wan Likai, who had a serious face and a few grass clippings in his hair, Yajieer smiled. She suddenly found that if Zhan Xia Ge could really understand Wan Likai, perhaps, he would consider accepting this apprentice.
No matter how frivolous Wan Likai usually behaves and how dismissive he is, but behind his fickle face, what is hidden is an upright and unpolluted heart!
