Chapter 14: Respect
By dawn of the battle, the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion successfully advanced 50 meters on the bridge and occupied the entire middle of the bridge.
The fighting during the night was too fierce, with heavy casualties on both sides. Lieutenant Colonel Frost decided to suspend the attack and let the soldiers rest for a while. However, the main purpose is to delay time, so that Shen Yi can treat the wounded as much as possible. The paratroopers stopped their attack, the Germans began to seize the time to rebuild the fortifications, and the two sides entered a brief period of peace.
After this battle, even with the strengthened physique of the adventurers, they felt unbearable, and most of them lay on the ground and tried to recover.
Shen Yi leaned on his sandbag, and a British soldier was flatteringly serving him a cigarette. Although it is forbidden to light cigarettes at night to avoid being detected by enemy artillery fire, in the Arnhem Bridge, the Germans can find the target even if it is not bright, so everyone does not care. In addition, there were several soldiers who took canned food and gave it to Shen Yi, and slapped Shen Yi's ass one by one.
Looking at Shen Yi's leisurely appearance, King Kong spat on the ground: "Damn, the limelight has been stolen by this kid, it's a bazooka and a medical technique, so many of us are all standing aside." ”
Shen Yi said lazily: "The Arnhem Bridge has not been taken yet, so it is only right to think more about how to complete the task and survive." Don't you think it's pointless to think about this kind of showy thing?"
Unexpectedly, King Kong shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily." What do people pursue when they live for a lifetime? Isn't it just to seek fame and fortune? We live so hard and enjoy the admiration of others, at least we can feel that we are worthwhile. Otherwise, we must work hard to survive, and we must not be too tired? Most of the small employees in those big companies commit suicide because they can't bear the pressure, let alone us? So there must always be something to meet our needs, at least let ourselves have some pursuits, even if this pursuit has no real meaning......" Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and sighed: "How meaningful is life in the world?"
Shen Yi didn't expect King Kong to say such a thing, this burly and sturdy man, full of delicate psychology, is really surprising. But what he said was really reasonable, and he couldn't refute it for a while.
Shen Yi said: "King Kong, you are right, people should be a little pursuit in life...... Even if it's a meaningless pretend. ”
King Kong and Hong Lang laughed at the same time.
"What about you? What are you after? in this bloody city. "What asked him was gentleness.
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Before I came here, I had already completed my pursuit. So right now, I don't have much to pursue. If you have to say that there is, it is to go to the end in this city, hit the Holy Tower, and see if there is a wish mission. ”
"Your accomplished quest is murder?" asked gently.
Shen Yi looked at the gentleness with strange eyes, and muttered after a long time: "Hong Lang, your stinky mouth is really a trumpet." ”
Hong Lang laughed: "I haven't publicized your glorious deeds of killing seven and seriously injuring sixteen, eight of which are seriously disabled." You don't look like a murderer. Hey, Doctor Killing, that's a good name. ”
"Shut up Honglang!" Shen Yi shouted angrily: "You big horn, also, warn don't fucking call me a doctor, I hate doctors! I slaughtered a doctor with my own hands before I came in!"
The next moment, when he heard Hong Lang speak, he looked at Shen Yi gently, and his eyes were already full of surprise.
She covered her small mouth and spit out her lips: "312 That case was originally done by you?"
She burst out laughing, "I was almost transferred to join the hunt for you, why do I say your name is so familiar." ”
......
Shen Yi's eyes gradually became cold, he lay on the ground, looking at the starry sky, and the distant artillery fire echoed in his ears from time to time.
Since coming into this world, he has rarely reminisced about the past.
However, the gentle words suddenly pulled him into the memories of the past, and in front of him were countless images jumping, the unknown who knew it, the familiar and the unfamiliar, the ones he killed but not killed, and hundreds of faces constituted an independent world in his mind.
He remembered Li Qiang.
I don't know how this guy is doing now.
Then he replied in a low voice: "It turns out that you are also from W City, no wonder the accent feels familiar." I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble in your work, right? ”
Laughed softly: "I'm not a police officer now, don't worry about me arresting you." Besides, even if I catch you, I won't have anywhere to send it. ”
"I'll treat you for free when you're injured in the future. ”
"Thanks, but Miss Ben doesn't lack that bit of blood. Gently glared at Shen Yi.
The two of them surprisingly didn't speak again, Hong Lang heard it in a fog, and King Kong understood it a little: "It turns out that before you came in, it was the relationship between officers and soldiers and thieves, it seems that Shen Yi was quite a sensation when you were on Earth." ”
Shen Yi thought about it and replied seriously: "In the eyes of the police...... It's more or less a person, an unknown celebrity. ”
Gentleness: "Can you tell me why you did that case?"
Hong Lang and King Kong looked at Shen Yi together, obviously wanting to know the answer, Shen Yi yawned lazily: "I'm tired, let's sleep." ”
――――――――――
The early morning artillery fire replaced the alarm clock to get up, and Shen Yi woke up in a daze, and a shell hit him twenty meters away, blowing up a sandbag. The sand flew in the air and sprinkled it, pouring Shen Yi with sand.
Shen Yi spit out a few mouthfuls, crawled to Wen Wen's side, and shouted, "What's the situation now?"
"Each occupies half of the country, they all want the other party's half, and they are afraid of losing their own half. Battalion Commander Frost was confident and was preparing to launch an all-out assault. Gentle replied loudly. In this world of rumbling cannons, even if you speak close to your ear, you have to shout.
"It doesn't sound too bad. Shen Yi smiled: "Just keep it up, it's good." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Frost is still calling for help as always: "I need the support of the combat team directly under the 1st Airborne Division, no, it's not a bomber, I don't need a bomber, I don't need a fucking artillery, I need a special operations team directly under it! Yes, you heard it right, that's better than a bomber! I use my second son to guarantee that as long as I send twenty more members of the special operations team, I will be able to take the Arnhem Bridge, and I will fucking hold it for as many days as you let me defend! What? You idiot, find someone who can access the secrets of the upper echelons!"
Lieutenant Colonel Frost angrily hung up the pager and shouted at Shen Yi: "Do you know what is the worst thing in the war?! They send you shells when you need bullets, and when you need shells, they send you bandages! When I asked the higher authorities to send another batch of special operations forces like yours, the damn operator actually replied that I had never heard of such a unit existing, and instead asked me if I needed air force support, damn it!"
"We've always kept a low profile!" Shen Yi shrugged.
A shell grazed the scalps of the airborne troops, landed on the bridge deck, and jumped several times, so frightened that everyone fell to their stomachs with their heads in their hands.
After a long time of no response, a soldier looked up, and then scolded: "It's a dud!"
"Can't leave it there. Frost exclaimed.
A soldier rushed over to move the shells away, and Shen Yi's face changed greatly: "Get out of there!"
As soon as the soldier fell, the dud, which had not exploded, suddenly exploded, and a huge wave of air swept over the airborne soldier, sending him into the air.
"Arias!" Frost shouted. He shouted at Shen Yi: "Save him!"
Shen Yi rushed over with an arrow step, and the young soldier had become a bloody man, and he kept spitting blood from his mouth.
Shen Yi peeled off his military uniform and saw at least a dozen shrapnel inserted in his chest, one of which had a large hole in his lung.
Shen Yi raised his head, looked at Lieutenant Colonel Frost and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't be saved.
"No, I don't believe you'll be able to save him, please help him!" cried Frost.
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. Shen Yi was also very helpless about this.
Despicable medical techniques had little healing power for damaging injuries, so he could only watch the soldier's life force slowly drain away, unable to save it.
"Oh no, he's only sixteen, and I promised his mother to bring him home alive!" cried Lieutenant Colonel Frost.
Arias was the youngest soldier in the 2nd Airborne Battalion, and I heard that he had two older brothers, all of whom joined the Allied forces, but all of them died on the battlefield. On this expedition, Arias's mother specifically approached Camp Commander Frost of the 2nd Airborne Battalion and knelt down for him to protect her son. Frost agreed, and since then he has kept Arias by his side, not allowing him to participate in the most dangerous missions.
But now Arias was still wounded and dying.
War is like that, you can never find a safe corner.
All the soldiers looked at Arias blankly, with pained expressions.
Shen Yi sighed and said, "Let's find him a priest, I think what he needs most now is the voice of the Lord." ”
"Nope. Lieutenant Colonel Frost shook his head: "God is dead." ”
Shen Yiyi: "What did you say?"
Lieutenant Colonel Frost angrily replied, "I said God is dead!"
He was a little hysterical: "If God were still there, he would never have allowed Hitler to live until now, and he would not have let the whole world be involved in suffering." God is dead, and He can't help us! The only one who can help us is ourselves. God is dead, so throw us into this desperate situation and leave us alone! God is dead!"
This cry of despair silenced everyone.
Shen Yi looked at Lieutenant Colonel Frost, and he could see the pain in his eyes.
Arias's desperate eyes, the blood foaming in his mouth, Shen Yi's heart suddenly seemed to be deeply touched by something.
He quickly pulled out a mid-level recovery potion from the Blood Emblem: "This thing should save him......"
As soon as he saw that it was an intermediate recovery potion, Hong Lang's eyes straightened, and he rushed over and grabbed Shen Yi's hand: "Are you crazy? Take out this kind of thing for a soldier? Is it worth it? Don't forget that we are different from them, they are just ......"
"Shut up, Hong Lang!" Shen Yi glared at Hong Lang angrily, Hong Lang knew that he almost leaked his mouth, but he still glared at Shen Yi and refused to let go: "Do you have a lot of bottles of this thing?"
"Not much. ”
"Then you still ......"
Shen Yi said softly: "I may not need it, but Arias needs it now." Life is life, there is no high or low...... Let go!"
Hong Lang's hand trembled slightly, and finally let go.
Shen Yi poured the potion into Arias's mouth, and then activated the healing technique, and under the effect of that mysterious power, the soldier's breathing became steady.
The effect was so good that even Shen Yi was surprised.
He suddenly realized that despicable medical treatment was not only for the treatment of common sexual wounds, but also had a function, which was to work better with medication.
"He's awake, he's awake!" Frost exclaimed excitedly.
Arias' resurrection from the dead made all the soldiers happy at the same time. Although they didn't know how Shen Yi did it and what the medicine was all about, Hong Lang's behavior had fully illustrated the preciousness of that medicine. And Shen Yi obviously gave his most precious life-saving medicine to the other party in order to save Arias.
This made all the soldiers' eyes look at Shen Yi with respect.
With a ding, the familiar crisp sound sounded in Shen Yi's ears.
Blood Emblem Tip: You have earned the respect of all the officers and men of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, and the intimacy has increased. In this mission, you will have the temporary authority to command the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, and you will also be an officer-level target for the German army.
One percent of the combat achievements of the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion will be counted towards your contribution.
Shen Yi was stunned.
