The lieutenant seemed to be thinking about something, Third Class Private Yang Tingting thought so, hanging a pair of dirty little hands and quietly rubbing the oil and dust on it, trying to clean herself, she was an orderly assigned to the lieutenant, she just arrived today, and she didn't know anything about the current situation, battlefield information, and the supreme commander on the seventh heights, the lieutenant commander, even the lieutenant's name, and in the hours after her arrival, the lieutenant didn't give her any orders, However, the fourteen soldiers who were still on the battlefield and the six supporting female soldiers who came with her instructed her to do some chores, originally she didn't have to follow the ideas of these people to do those manual work, but Yang Tingting always felt that she was new and should give others a good impression of being diligent and capable, so she was busy for a few hours, until the lieutenant called her in, but after Yang Tingting came in, the lieutenant seemed to be thinking about something and was in a daze, And almost in slow motion and unconsciously, wearing his combat suit, which was as dirty as his own hands, riddled with holes and frays.

Yang Tingting, who hesitated to get closer, suddenly noticed that the lieutenant's eyes were very gloomy, and there seemed to be despair, and there was some indifference in the shocking despair, which made Yang Tingting, who was thinking that the lieutenant's clothes were dirty enough, and he should not dislike his dirty hands, and Yang Tingting, who was going to come forward to help him, stopped his steps, the lieutenant was missing three fingers in his right hand, only half of his left hand was left, and one leg was missing. Yang Tingting felt that she had an obligation to help him, but after seeing the eyes of the chief, Yang Tingting's body trembled and immediately stopped, and she was sensitive to it, she had already sensed that the lieutenant was no longer going to live, and the gray aura of death was shrouded around his body.

This did not make Yang Tingting feel surprised, she has seen a lot of this situation, experience tells her that keeping a distance from this kind of person is the most important thing, no one knows what crazy things people who are not even dead are obstacles will do, and after quietly taking a step back, Yang Tingting slowly stopped when she was about to take a second step back, the lieutenant's despair still infected Yang Tingting, which made Yang Tingting suddenly a little sentimental, and a little indifferent, Because Yang Tingting thought of one thing: even the supreme commander of the position is actually in this state, so is it possible to hold the No. 7 Heights!? The result of defeat is only death, since you are all going to die, what is the possibility!? Maybe it's a kind of happiness to die at the hands of your own people, isn't it!?

In the small cave temporarily dug by the headquarters, the atmosphere and environment were all oppressive, cold and damp, Yang Tingting seemed to only hear her heartbeat and breathing, and it became more and more rapid, and I don't know how long it took, the lieutenant finally put on his combat uniform, reached out to touch his military hat that was almost as tattered as his combat uniform, and slowly put it on, only then did he raise his head and turn, and the faint light revealed from the gap in the small hole covering a piece of broken canvas finally illuminated some of Lieutenant Li's face, Yang Tingting, who could only see some of the lieutenant's side face, couldn't help twitching the corners of her eyes, and took a step back again, half of the lieutenant's face that was originally hidden in the dark was blurred with flesh and blood, and the one eye in the blur was all hideous gray, and even flowing black and red liquid downward, she should have been blind a long time ago, and the injuries on half of the lieutenant's face should have been corroded, and the injuries had not been treated for more than three days, Yang Tingting was frightened by the lieutenant's almost breathless face, I was also shocked that Lieutenant Lu Dao was indifferent to why Lu Dao could endure such pain.

"I'm sorry, you're a new orderly, didn't notice when you came in, are you still used to Heights Seven? But there's no need to get used to it, there's nothing to be nostalgic for here, are you listening to me? ”

"I'm sorry, sir!" Yang Tingting couldn't understand what state the lieutenant was in, and when she came back to her senses, she noticed that the commander was talking to herself, and couldn't help but be very flustered, she had only received two days of training before coming, and she couldn't even do a military salute well.

But the lieutenant looked at Yang Tingting, who was a little at a loss, and just smiled very emptyly, laughing somewhat miserably, and then said to Yang Tingting: "There are six female soldiers with you, right?" How long have you been training? Is it enough for three days? ”

"Two days and two hours, sir!" Yang Tingting got used to it, drove away her fears, and reluctantly answered the lieutenant's question loudly, and at the same time remembered that she should stand upright.

The lieutenant looked at Yang Tingting, who was suddenly standing straight, returned the salute casually, then waved his hand and paused after a pause: "You go outside and call the new female soldiers to come in today, well, remember to let them bring weapons, equipment and supplies." ”

"Yes! Sir. ”

Yang Tingting was worried that she didn't know how her supreme commander would toss herself and the female soldiers who came with her, but she still loudly agreed to the lieutenant's order, because if she didn't obey the order, she would die! Die immediately!

Yang Tingting walked out of the small cave, the sky outside was still dark, it was almost evening, the temperature was very cold, Yang Tingting shivered, but still breathed a sigh of relief, because she didn't have to face the lieutenant commander who scared her, although it was only for a while. Then, Yang Tingting walked through the dilapidated fortifications with a slight aim to inform the lieutenant that he had asked to assemble the six new female soldiers.

However, none of the female soldiers who have been assigned combat positions are not in the battle positions, even including the remaining soldiers from before, Yang Tingting is a little puzzled, No. 7 Heights is now the front line, she still knows this, such dereliction of duty can be executed immediately! Why is it so careless?

Yang Tingting continued to walk through the winding tunnels and trenches suspiciously, and when she arrived at the original soldiers' canteen, near a large cave dug out, Yang Tingting knew that the soldiers were here, and from the gap in the broken blanket covering the entrance of the cave, there was some yellow faint light, which was the light of the candle, and at the same time there was a noise coming from inside, Yang Tingting was somewhat stunned, and the combat regulations told her that the front-line position prohibits lights, violates the lighting control, and it is the same as the end of execution! The recruits themselves all know the way, and it is impossible for the veterans not to know the way.

With doubts, Yang Tingting cautiously approached the cafeteria, and the girl's crying and the man's laughter and scolding from inside made Yang Tingting's heart tighten, and she quickly walked a few steps faster, and opened the curtain of the cloth door and entered the canteen.

There is still some area in the cafeteria, at this moment fourteen male soldiers are laughing around the six newly arrived female soldiers and making fun of their hands and feet, their mouths are full of unbearable foul language, two soldiers have already pulled the two girls and are about to suppress it, one of the soldiers is still injured, blood is still oozing from the black and tattered bandages, he is obviously very weak, the struggling female soldiers easily kicked him twice, which made the blood in his wound ooze faster, A soldier's comrade-in-arms on the side saw this and slapped the female soldier hard, the female soldier who beat lost the will to resist, covered her face and cried, and on the other side, a female soldier panicked and held a semi-automatic submachine gun at the male soldiers who surrounded her, telling them to get out, but the soldiers didn't care at all, the next moment they would die in battle, maybe it was a good choice to die under the submachine gun of a beautiful girl, wasn't it?

The girl's panicked submachine gun was unstable, and in the face of the approaching soldiers laughing wildly, she never had the courage to pull the trigger, and was finally laughed at by the male soldier and slapped the muzzle of the gun, and the entire canteen was filled with the most crazy and unscrupulous atmosphere, and when it was about to be out of control, Yang Tingting mustered up the courage and finally shouted: "What are you all doing!?" ”

Yang Tingting's shouting made the cafeteria quiet, and then a soldier whistled to Yang Tingting and told her that they hadn't found her before, and now it was better, Yang Tingting finally took the initiative to come, and everyone was happy before she died, no need to be polite or anything.

Yang Tingting was not equipped with a submachine gun, so she immediately pulled out her pistol and aimed it at the two soldiers who were approaching, and sharply warned them that they were seriously violating military discipline, and the lieutenant ordered all the female soldiers to be gathered and go now!

Hearing that it was the lieutenant's order, the soldiers hesitated, but in the end they were infected by the crazy atmosphere, and continued to walk towards Yang Tingting, Yang Tingting's hands were shaking, I really didn't expect that the No. 7 Heights had been decadent and corrupted to such a field, looking at the soldiers who were laughing and obviously didn't care about what came over, and their eyes were crazy with despair and decadence, Yang Tingting's hands trembled several times and did not pull the trigger, and finally sighed, withdrew his pistol and aimed it at his head and resolutely pulled the trigger.

However, the gunshot did not sound, and a hand that was not big but with a fake finger and a strange shape was stretched out from behind Yang Tingting to hold Yang Tingting's hand, Yang Tingting's body was shocked and when she turned around suddenly, she saw a half-intact and half-hideous grimace The lieutenant didn't know when Lu Dao appeared behind him, so close to see the lieutenant's half of the face was rotting and festering flesh and a gray eyeball flowing with black water, Yang Tingting almost didn't stand and collapsed to the ground.

The lieutenant knew that he had frightened the new orderly, smiled apologetically, and then glanced at the situation in the cafeteria, which was already quiet at this moment, and the girls gathered together and shrunk into a small group and were stunned, some of them still had tears of horror and humiliation, and the helpless soldiers were also silent, and several soldiers were not even willing to make eye contact with the lieutenant's sweeping gaze.

The lieutenant knew what was going on, but he didn't seem to be too lazy to say anything, and only asked, "Who ordered the recruits to come here?" ”

Although the soldiers did not speak, they all looked at a sergeant in the crowd, the sergeant with Slavic blood endured it, and then couldn't help but want to explain or roar something, but the lieutenant didn't give him any chance, and the next moment, a military thorn pierced the sergeant's chest with a sharp wind, and the sergeant covered his own bloody wound, looked at the lieutenant in disbelief, and tried to pull out the military thorn in vain, but he finally did nothing and fell to the ground, The soldiers around looked at all this indifferently, they did not object to what the sergeant did, and they did not think that there was anything wrong, but the lieutenant did not do anything wrong, and more importantly, there was no need to care about what others were doing at this time.

"Alright, let's all go to our places." The lieutenant didn't look at others, just watched the sergeant who was still twitching on the ground slowly approaching and talking, the soldiers paused and picked up their weapons one after another, leaving the female soldier in the middle, leaving the cafeteria, silent all the way, the lieutenant walked to the sergeant who was still convulsing from time to time, and the blood had spread in a large area on the cold mud ground, raised his foot and stepped on the handle of the military thorn, and stepped down, the sergeant finally stopped convulsions, and the soldiers were still speechless, the lieutenant was ending the sergeant's pain.

When the soldiers were gone, the lieutenant looked at the seven female soldiers gathered together, Yang Tingting dared to swear, the lieutenant's only intact eyes when he looked at them were full of helpless pity, but it flashed away, and then the lieutenant took out a piece of torn paper, which was crookedly written with the order to transfer seven female soldiers to the fourth high ground to support, with the lieutenant's signature on the back, but it was even more sloppy, and it was almost impossible to see what the words were, and then the lieutenant ordered the female soldiers to evacuate the seventh high ground with weapons and the only supplies on the seventh height.

With this order from the lieutenant commander, the supreme commander of the No. 7 Heights, the female soldiers will not be considered deserters to leave the front line safely, and go to the No. 4 Heights in the rear.

As the girls hurried out of Heights Seven, the soldiers were in an uproar again, but the lieutenant, who saw the women leave, just said something and shut up the soldiers: You can also leave with you, I will not stop you, but is there any point in that? No, live a few more hours or a few days, and then die in humiliation in endless despair, if I were you, I would rather die on the ground, kill a few more enemies by the way, and breathe out as much as I have lost for what we have lost.

After the lieutenant finished speaking, he walked towards the headquarters full of loneliness and solitude, leaving the thirteen soldiers around him to stand on the spot, most of them walked up to their battle positions without saying a word, and several soldiers scolded in a low voice and kicked the ammunition box fiercely to vent something, but in the end, no one left the position, because the lieutenant was telling the truth and making sense, the vast majority of people in the rear of the base may not know the real situation on the front line of the road, but the soldiers on the front line know that the road is becoming more and more fierce with the enemy's offensive, with the appearance of more and more enemies, everything proves that the enemy is preparing to concentrate on destroying the base in one fell swoop, and they have no way to retreat, even if they withdraw now, withdraw to the base, as the lieutenant said, it is better to live a few more hours or a few days and then die in desperate fear than to die on the battlefield! As a soldier, this sense of honor is still there, and even if it doesn't, the facts will force it to have it!

Following behind the six female soldiers, Yang Tingting carried a small bag of precious grains on her back and hugged her shoulders and tried to warm herself up, walking on the mountain road with a little staggering, from the whispers of the female soldiers in front, Yang Tingting knew the approximate situation of the No. 7 position, and the more she listened, the colder she became!

"There were originally more than 170 soldiers on Heights 7, but after two days of fighting, more than 10 were left."

"The commander's face was destroyed in the battle the day before yesterday, and it is said that it was to save his wife, who is also a confidential member of the garrison, but he was not saved."

"I don't think he wants to live anymore, and the base has given up this outlying stronghold, otherwise why would he only send seven of us to support Heights Seven this time? We don't even know how to use guns. ”

"This commander is infatuated, and it's rare now."

"You guys! Alas! It's not that the base has given up the No. 7 Heights, but there are no soldiers available, otherwise there will be no third batch of female soldiers to recruit us, let alone be sent to the front line in less than three days of training, the first two batches of female soldiers have been trained for at least three weeks, I think the commander also knows that sooner or later he will perish so that's why he is like that, but it is not necessarily that he is infatuated with his wife to live and die together, and it is said that he and his wife have been married for less than two days. ”

"If it is true as you say, are we not finished? Didn't the base notify us of the transfer? ”

"Still transferred!? Where can we move to!? This is the most rear-end base, and I don't know if there is a road in other places, but even if there is, will we still have a chance to walk through? Halfway through, he died. ”

The female soldiers were silent for a while, and Yang Tingting's heart was colder than the cold wind outside, and now she suddenly understood that there would be a trace of pity in the eyes of the lieutenant looking at them: Even if I let you go, but you can go there after all, it will be a dead word!

Yang Tingting thought that the future was dark, and even when there was no hope in the darkness, she finally understood that the helpless, deep, and desperate pain in the lieutenant's eyes was so thick that it could even infect others.

At this moment, gunshots rang out on the No. 7 Heights behind them, and after a crisp sound of blocking rifles, a series of automatic rifles and machine guns followed closely behind, and the female soldiers immediately accelerated their pace in panic, and the fight had already started behind them, and they had not yet moved away from the No. 7 Heights.

Yang Tingting suddenly didn't want to leave, and even thought about simply dying quickly, but she was still forced to leave by the two kind-hearted female soldiers, Yang Tingting just thought about it at this time, she was afraid that she would never see the lieutenant who must have fought bloodily again Now in retrospect, the lieutenant must have been a very handsome boy at least before, and his voice was also good, his previous voice was definitely not so hoarse, I really hope that he can die without pain, this seems to be the only thing that can be prayed for.
