Chapter 18: The Last of the Last
I made a big mistake and dropped my gun there when I climbed out of my car, and when I was questioned by the company commander, I stammered back: "In ...... In my patrol car...... My car flipped over, and then I ...... Went to the side of the road to hide. ”
The company commander seemed very angry, he thought that I was just running for my life and lost all my guns, and the worst thing was that I was the only one in the company who lost my guns.
The company commander strode up to me like an enraged bull and roared, "Why is you the only one in the company who lost your gun and ran for your life and didn't care about anything, right?" Answer me! ”
I was about to explain, but before I could speak, the company commander kicked me hard in the thigh, and I fell to the ground without standing firmly.
"Stand up! Soft eggs! The company commander continued.
I stood up, thinking that the company commander was going to continue punching and kicking me, but he stopped, and he just said angrily, "You will stand guard for the rest of the week."
Then the enraged bull turned his gaze to Captain Feng Qiu, who quickly gave a military salute.
But the company commander's eyes were still so suffocating, and he continued: "Do you know why I am so angry? Just look at your squad's performance! Feng Qiu, who are you bringing with you, the other companies are hiding in an orderly manner, rescuing supplies, calling for support, just your team! Run for your life from the first explosion!
Ecid! You lost your gun, what kind of soldier are you going to be!
Roy! Cal! You two bastards left the car in the middle of the road, and the convoy behind was in chaos because you ran for your life.
Look at you guys, a bunch of soft eggs! Now we have 13 trucks, a tank, more than a hundred dead, even Colonel Sheffield was slightly wounded, and we are the most panicked company in the entire brigade. You cowards, soft eggs, are sent to death in Kara just like this! Reflect on yourself, I will make you uncomfortable for a long time later, now hurry up and prepare for me to go!" After saying that, he didn't even salute and turned around and left.
Being criticized in public has taken a big toll on my self-esteem, and I've been trying to perform, at least in terms of missions, and I think I'm doing a good job, but today that crazy company commander humiliated me so much.
Feng Qiu, who was beside me, turned his head and saw me crying and muttering quietly. He said impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't be like a." ”
I said, "The company commander wronged me, I didn't lose my gun, and I was lucky that I wasn't blown up when the car overturned." Then he told us to hide quickly, but now he blames us for running fast. ”
Feng Qiu lazily listened to me tell me how wronged I was, this bit of was nothing on the battlefield.
And I continued to speak, as if Feng Qiu was listening carefully, I said: "I am a typical person who has been arrested, everyone is responsible, I was the kick for everyone, but I haven't won a good reputation after being beaten, maybe they will laugh at me every day with soft eggs in the future." ”
"Shut your mouth, you're caught typical? Do you feel wronged? Is the company commander typical in front of the battalion commander, and is the battalion commander typical in front of the regiment commander? Feng Qiu said to me mockingly: "Also, Colonel Sheffield's car overturned next to you, and you didn't know how to save it, so you ran away while driving." What is it that you say you're not a soft egg? ”
"You asked me to rescue supplies! You gave me the order to drive that car. "I feel wronged again.
"Are you a pig's brain? Don't know what improvisation is? Is it a cart of supplies that is important or is the colonel important, he is our brigade commander, who commands when he dies? Feng Qiu asked me rhetorically.
In fact, when the leader wants to find fault with you, there will always be 10,000 reasons, but I didn't understand it when I was young. After listening to Feng Qiu's words, he turned his head to the side angrily, trying to control his temper, Feng Qiu is my captain, whatever he says, I can't contradict him.
Feng Qiu looked at me and was about to teach me a good lesson, when the car suddenly stopped.
We received the order to get out of the car and assemble, but no one knew what was going on, and everyone walked to the middle of the troops in confusion. I saw Colonel Sheffield standing there, and several captains were surrounding him. His arm was in a cast, and he looked a little depressed with his head down, I had never seen him look like this before.
An adjutant commanded: "Attention, everyone! "All of us stood upright.
The colonel stepped forward, his eyes full of exhaustion, and he said slowly: "Brave warriors, Kara has a message that has just arrived, and this news is difficult for all of us officers and soldiers, and for all citizens of mankind. In the last month, we have made tremendous efforts to rescue Army Group III, and with incredible sacrifice and dedication from the soldiers and officers at all levels, we have crossed thousands of miles of wasteland, and in the midst of enemy resistance after attack, we have finally reached the established position on time, and in our rear, in the capital, all the people are closely watching our movements. ”
The adjutant ordered: "Lizheng! ”
The colonel then added: "Just now, the Kara Mountains were lost! General Chen Kaishir led the Third Army Group to stubbornly resist to the last soldier, and at the last moment when the enemy stormed his headquarters, he committed glorious suicide. ”
The news silenced us all, and there was not a single sound from the scene of the three thousand people.
After a moment of silence, the colonel said that the last report sent by Marshal Chen Kaishir to the Supreme Command, which was asked to be read to us, read it like this:
Respected Supreme Commander, our unit has been holding the Kara Line for five months and 23 days, and in this arduous battle, all the officers and men of the main force of the Third Army Group have been united in their hatred of the enemy, never forgetting the great trust of the commander and the people, and fighting to the death with the enemy. Whatever the outcome of the war, our soldiers deserve to rest in Valhalla, the great race of humanity.
We have been fighting for five days and five nights on the main peak of Kara, and for five whole days our soldiers have not eaten, and just now the soldiers on the mountainside have exhausted the last ammunition, but none of them have surrendered, and even launched a useless charge against the enemy with flesh and blood.
My staff officer Callegon persuaded me to surrender many times, I shot him, and now we have a total of 36 senior commanders and guards in our command, and in ten minutes the Rosa will rush up, and we will make the last resistance, long live the human race! The galaxy will win!
