Chapter 25: A Difficult Choice
There was nothing left in front of me, and there was no shadow of hope.
The moon, the moon. The semi-circular moon, this is the only feeling of Hongguang. It seems that the moon has not changed in the past few nights. When he lay down, he always seemed to appear in that position with a smile.
This gave him the illusion that he was still in the Tigers.
Now it's just that I'm tired from training, lie down on the grass and rest for a while. Yes, take a break! I'm so tired!
Hong Guang felt like a decomposing corpse, his body slowly dying in the air, and even the stench of corpses that had invaded his bones had inevitably rushed to his nose.
It would be nice to be able to sleep like this. Hong Guang, who could no longer carry even a straw, thought quietly.
The eyelids could no longer withstand the relentless fatigue. Eventually, Hong Guang's eyes closed tightly and he fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, he returned to his childhood! At that time, he was still a child with poor legs.
The congenital disability prevented him from walking like a normal child, but his parents did not give up on him and taught him to walk forward hand in hand. always held him firmly at the moment when he was about to fall. Let his young heart always have a strong support.
Finally, one day, my mother let go of her hands, and the young Hongguang fell to the ground without warning, and the pain that followed made him cry, and he shouted vigorously 'Mommy, Mommy's hug.' ”
But the mother, who has always been gentle as water and protective of God, did not step forward, but just smiled and said to him: "Xiaoguang, get up by yourself, you have grown up, and there are some things to do by yourself." ”
Xiao Hongguang didn't understand the meaning of his mother's words at all, but he knew that his mother had changed and would not be the same as before. Insisting on gritting his teeth, Xiao Hongguang used all his strength to desperately support his body with both hands to stand up, but his weak legs could not support his huge body, and his body fell to the ground like a fallen mountain.
Xiao Hongguang, who was crying and crying, suddenly found that his mother, who was standing beside him and had been encouraging him to stand up, was also full of tears, and he didn't understand why his mother would ignore me.
"If you want to get something, go for it yourself, your mother won't be by your side all your life. Xiaoguang, be strong, stand up, stand up. In the fall again and again, Xiao Hongguang was covered in injuries, but his heart became stronger and stronger, and there was only one stubborn thought in his heart, I must stand up.
"You cripple! Stand up, stand up! The ridicule of countless peers echoed in Hong Guang's ears all the time, and he often couldn't breathe.
Finally, he stood up, he could walk, he could run,! A qiē is born in his stubbornness.
Suddenly, it was back to the troops.
There was a man standing in front of him, reprimanding a soldier who had fallen into the muddy water.
Hong Guang was very curious and walked over slowly.
Suddenly, he found that the person standing in front of him turned out to be the instructor of his military academy, the notoriously stern Instructor Shen. And the soldier who struggled in the muddy water was himself.
Hong Guang was stunned, what was going on.
Instructor Shen shouted loudly: "Hong Guang, stand up for me, if it's a man, stand up for me." Do you think you're still a soldier lying here like this? Sue you, don't think that if you put on a military uniform, you can be counted as a soldier if you get here. You're a waste who just wants to spend a few years in the army and go home and get a good job.
Stand up for me, if you don't want to mess around like this, stand up for me and be an upright soldier. ”
Hong Guang's brain buzzed, this is what happened many years ago when he first arrived at the military academy. How did it end up here? Instructor Shen's dark and solemn face and his mother's kind and loving face suddenly appeared in front of him. They're saying, "Stand up, stand up, stand up." ”
Hong Guang suddenly opened his eyes, his head covered in sweat.
Looking up at the sky, it was still the moon, hanging in the sky impartially.
But there was a buzz in his head, still echoing the dream he had just had.
He braced himself and sat up violently. Turning his head, Bai Yu, who was sitting on the ground, had also stood up again at this moment, he no longer used his gun to lean, his eyes looked at him silently, and it was full of expectation and praise.
"Are you okay?" Bai Yu asked.
"I can't die, I still have to go to the end, and I still have to be a special soldier." A hearty smile appeared at the corner of Hong Guang's mouth, showing his true character of being fearless and strong.
"Wake up the others, let's make a decision." Hong Guang nodded, and together with Bai Yu, he woke up the soldiers who were already asleep and were like a pile of mud.
"Cheer up, I have something to talk to you about!" Bai Yu said slowly to the people with dull eyes.
"It's been a hard journey, and everyone has done something that ordinary soldiers would never be able to do. At this point, there is no shame. At least you have realized your value! Now that you're all at your limit, I don't want any of you to be like the three who left behind. So, if you want to abstain now, take out the flares, and the rescue vehicle will arrive soon. ”
"What about you? Are you going to give up too? Hong Guang didn't know that Bai Yu would say this, but he understood that now everyone was at the end of the crossbow, and what Bai Yu said made sense.
"Me? Hehe, I'm a scout, and it's my responsibility to complete the mission. Don't you know what our infantry does? The position is ahead, and I will climb over it even if I climb. Bai Yu said categorically, without the slightest hesitation.
Wang Chao immediately shouted: "Bai Yu, what do you mean, you are a scout, am I not." Can you go down, can't I? Don't underestimate the brothers, I will accompany you through the road below. It also lets these people know that there is no misbreed in our lone wolf group. ”
Hearing the two hot-blooded men's answers at the most difficult moment, the remaining soldiers echoed one after another.
Originally, everyone was almost desperate. At this moment, the ambition was rekindled by these words, and hope was regained. Everyone picked up their guns, slowly moved their unconscious bodies, and stood up again with difficulty.
"Okay, this is the man! Instead of waiting here to be eliminated, let's fight for it one last time! Let's see what a real soldier is like. ”
Making this difficult choice is tantamount to blocking yourself on a road of no return. With their current body, it is very likely that they will faint on the road and no one cares, and in the end, it is also possible that they will die of fatigue.
But this group of bloody men chose to persevere, adhere to their own ideals, and insist on their dignity.
They grabbed their guns and silently followed behind Bai Yu and Hong Guang, moving to the last position with difficulty. There, there are maps, there are their hopes.
The position of the reconnaissance company was set up in a small wood, forming a semi-circular position, facing the oncoming soldiers, and it was also the last checkpoint set up for them by Nighthawk.
The scouts, who had been waiting for three days, did not relax in the slightest, and the good military qualities were fully manifested at this time, and the more quiet it was, the more vigilant the soldiers on guard became. His eyes looked at the darkness in front of him for a moment, and the gun in his hand was clenched tightly, ready to deal with the sudden blow.
Bai Yu and his party lurked on the right side of the grove, and the defense here did not seem to be as tight as the front, and within the line of sight, there were less than 10 soldiers guarding back and forth.
But even if it's not a secret sentinel, just these energetic and tough scouts in front of you. It's not something they can deal with now. It's a lot of hard work to get through, let alone dig in and find a map.
"What should I do?" Wang Chao asked Bai Yu quietly.
Bai Yu seemed to be thinking and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said softly: "Everyone rest in place, it's still early, you can sleep for a while." There were still a lot of people behind us who didn't come, maybe we ran too fast, and when the big army came up, we took advantage of the chaos to get in. ”
Everyone nodded, Bai Yu really said it well. They ran too fast, looking at the camp in front of them, they didn't look like they had been impacted at all, and their gang of people were now so honorable that they couldn't be the first birds.
I found some weeds and stuck them on my body, and just lay on my stomach. Soon, everyone fell asleep, Bai Yu looked at his watch, and suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, and when he looked back, it turned out that Hong Guang was not sleeping, and was silently watching him.
"What's wrong? Still not resting? A big war is about to take place. Bai Yu said to Hong Guang kindly.
Hong Guang smiled and said, "No, I just think it's strange, what kind of person are you." There will be such strong willpower. I always thought that my willpower was the strongest in the world, but I didn't expect to meet someone like you here. ”
Bai Yu also smiled and said frankly: "Actually, I just don't want to lose." I come from the countryside and have suffered hardships that you have not suffered. When I came to the army, I didn't think about going back, and I swore to myself that I would be a soldier for the rest of my life.
Later, time changed, and I realized that it was not enough to be a soldier, so I vowed to myself to be a good soldier. No, just go all the way down, now it's all a habit, as long as it's difficult, think about the stupid me in the countryside in the past, I can survive. ”
Hong Guang listened silently and nodded approvingly: "You are a man, you are better than me." ”
Bai Yu smiled and patted Hong Guang's shoulder, and the hearts of the two men felt a lot closer at once, and they felt a sense of sympathy.
"From today onwards, let's be good friends." Hong Guang stretched out his hand and held Bai Yu's rough hand tightly.
"We've been friends for a long time, haven't we?" The hands of the two men were clasped tightly together, and there was a deep friendship in it.
"Shhhh Don't talk! Listen, someone is coming" Hong Guang suddenly put his finger to his lips and whispered to Bai Yu.
The two of them listened carefully. Really. Not far away, the sound of thin footsteps gradually approached, and the direction was the position ahead.
"Hehe, what's up, I'm right. There were quite a few listeners, and I knew that they would arrive sooner or later. Bai Yu smiled at Hong Guang knowingly.
"Then let them go first." The two of them closed their mouths at the same time, buried their heads deeper, and quietly waited for the show to begin.
