The sky gradually brightened, and the east showed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Near the border, the colonel looked at his watch, and his face was full of anxiety: "Why haven't you come back yet?" ”

The chief of staff next to him asked: "It stands to reason that they should arrive at three o'clock in the morning at the latest, so something should happen, right?" ”

The colonel frowned, his heart uneasy.

If it's on your own turf, you can send someone over at any time.

But this is a three-way zone, and they can't go there, and they can't turn to anyone.

After all, this was a secret operation, and they had no orders, so they could only continue to wait for the time being.

The colonel sighed, "It should be fine." ”

"They have gone with a whole regiment, how many of those militants can there be, don't forget that the Tiger Regiment is the first in our southwest, and its combat effectiveness is not comparable to those rabble!"

The chief of staff frowned: "However, even the special forces are trapped by those guys, what is the concept of special forces, they are the elite of the elite." The fact that the militants can trap them shows that there are definitely quite a few of them! ”

"It is true that the Tiger Regiment is the first in the southwest, but no matter how powerful it is, it is also a regular force."

"If they go out in tanks and armored vehicles, they don't have anything to worry about, but they are infantry after all."

The colonel kept his face calm and thought for a moment: "In another half an hour, if there is no news, report to your superiors immediately, you must know what is going on over there!" ”

The people around them nodded, and once again cast their expectant gazes into the distance.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The sky was completely bright, and the sun was gradually rising in the east.

The chief of staff looked at the time: "When the time comes, let's contact us quickly." ”

The colonel nodded and asked for a satellite phone.

This operation, directly connected to the command.

He hurriedly dialed the phone and prepared a special line to contact the commander.

The headquarters office, the atmosphere is solemn.

Xu Qianshan sat on the chair, his brows furrowed.

Sitting opposite sat the two deputy commanders, as well as the Shura captain Jing Jian.

Although it was in the office, the level of anxiety and nervousness was no less.

Jingjian was worried that something would happen to them, and he had asked to lead the team many times, but the commander vetoed it.

A lot of people have already been sent, and when they are sent again, the nature and meaning change.

If it is not done well, it will cause huge misunderstandings, and may even lead to major international disputes.

If it is used by someone with a heart, it will also be rumored that our combat effectiveness is not good, and we can't even save the hostages, and we will send troops one after another.

At that time, our army will become the laughing stock of everyone, and the southwest will be tantamount to discrediting the whole army and the country!

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Everyone immediately stood up, their eyes glued to the phone.

Xu Qianshan took a deep breath and picked up the phone decisively.

A report immediately came from the other end: "Report chief, I am ......"

Hearing the name, Xu Qianshan was slightly excited: "What's going on over there, are they back?" ”

The colonel shook his head: "Chief, it hasn't appeared so far, I'm worried about whether something will happen, do you want to send someone in to check it out?" ”

The others all came up and looked at Xu Qianshan tightly.

Xu Qianshan also secretly clenched his fists.

It's a lot later than scheduled, could it be that something really happened?

Although he really wants to take care of the overall situation, the life of every soldier is much more important than the face of the war zone.

Xu Qianshan did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered: "You immediately organize two platoons of troops, give me all identity symbols, bring people over immediately, and report to me quickly if there is any situation!" ”

"Yes, Chief!"

The colonel just nodded to leave, but suddenly stopped: "Report to the chief, they are back!" ”

Xu Qianshan's eyes widened: "You're back?" ”

Hearing these three words, the three people next to him all breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on their faces: "It's finally back!" ”

"They're coming this way, I'll meet them right away, and I'll report back to you later!"

"Okay, good, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, see what the situation is!"

The phone hung up, Xu Qianshan let out a long sigh of relief, stared at the three of them with blazing eyes, and said with a smile: "They are back, and the task should be completed." ”

The three of them nodded, and the big stone in their hearts finally landed.

As long as they can return safely, it is more important than anything else.

On the other side, the colonel put down the phone and led the men to the border.

From afar, I saw a large group of people on the opposite side, rushing towards this direction.

The colonel saw from a distance that they were still carrying a lot of stretchers, and immediately shouted at the people around him: "Hurry up, ambulances are ready, medical personnel, and health soldiers are coming here!" ”

The door of the ambulance, which had been waiting here for a long time, opened.

A large number of medical personnel wearing red cross armbands jumped out of the car, carrying stretchers and rushing in that direction.

A moment later, Lin Hui and the others rushed across the line and shouted at the colonel: "They need emergency treatment, save people quickly!" ”

The colonel hurriedly commanded: "Quick, save people first, save people first!" ”

The paramedics went up to pick up the person, lightly placed them on a professional stretcher, and rushed towards the ambulance.

Lin Hui watched Wang Chen and Xu Da being sent to the ambulance at the same time, and hurriedly rushed over.

He grabbed one of the paramedic captains and yelled, "These two must be saved, and they must not be allowed to die!" ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, chief, this is our duty, and we will do our best to save it!" ”

Lin Hui nodded, and then helped close the ambulance door, and there was a noise next to him.

"No, don't take them away!"

"We're going to take them home, we can't treat them like that!"

Lin Hui turned his head sharply and found that Wang Yong and his gang were blocking several ambulance personnel and preventing them from passing.

And the two sacrificed soldiers were carried by them on their shoulders, and no one was allowed to approach.

Lin Hui's heart trembled violently, and he immediately stepped forward.

Seeing him coming, Wang Yong's eyes were red: "Brother Hui, they want to take people away!" ”

The others were also emotional: "Deputy head of the regiment, Ding Wen and Xiao Zhuangzhuang are our brothers, we can't let them take them away casually!" ”

Many people at the scene had red eyes and tears.

Several health soldiers stood there, looking at Lin Hui at a loss, and they didn't know what to do.

Lin Hui took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Let them take it away." ”

Some soldiers cried and shouted: "Deputy commander, no, we can't let them take our brothers, we still have to ...... Nope."

Lin Hui yelled: "Let them go!" ”

Everyone fell silent in an instant.

Lin Hui gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "They have already sacrificed, let them go decently, okay?" ”

"These comrades will treat their bodies well, they will not let them leave in embarrassment covered in dust, they will let our brothers go clean and decent!"

Everyone looked at the two bodies covered in blood again.

One of them was blown to a bloody pulp.

The other hand and arm were broken.

Everyone's hearts ached, and they felt like they couldn't breathe well.

Lin Hui beckoned and said to a few health soldiers: "What are you still doing in a daze, carry out the order!" ”

Wang Yong and the others reluctantly put the bodies of the two on a stretcher, and watched as several health soldiers pushed them into a car.

The moment the car door closes, it is the real separation between heaven and man.

Many fell to their knees and began to cry.

Lin Hui turned his head silently, unable to bear to see this scene.

Soon, one ambulance after another rushed away, and the piercing whistling sound gradually drifted away.

Seeing the flickering lights in the distance disappear completely, Lin Hui sat on the ground and gasped for breath.

The others sat down as if they had been struck to the bone, everyone gasping heavily.

The moment they set foot on the soil of their homeland, they can finally let down all their guards.

At this moment, they only felt an endless feeling of exhaustion hit them, their bodies were weak, and they were so tired that they couldn't speak.

This mission was the most dangerous and thrilling one they had ever been in the army.

Although the mission was successfully completed, they also paid a terrible price.

Lost two of his dearest comrades-in-arms forever.

Everyone was tired and frustrated, and no one could be happy.

Some soldiers even leaned together and shed tears silently.

Several special forces knelt on the ground, looking at the ambulance that had long disappeared in the distance, and tears could not stop falling.

They sacrificed more people, injured more people, and now even the captain is uncertain.

Everyone's nerves are almost collapsing.

Lin Hui glanced at it, and his heart slowly twitched.

When they were fighting, they were not allowed to think too much, and they only thought about carrying out their mission and bringing back all the hostages and wounded soldiers.

But at the moment when the mission ended, that uncomfortable feeling, like an endless tide, poured into everyone's hearts.

As a deputy regimental commander, as a commander of the battle.

He was sadder than anyone else and blamed himself.

If he could have arrived at the battlefield earlier, if he had been a little more vigilant, maybe not so.

The colonel shouted from the side: "Quick, give them water and food!" ”

The people around brought milk, bread and water that had been prepared long ago.

"Brother, eat something."

"I'm tired, drink some water."

"Drink some milk and replenish your energy."

Everyone just raised their eyelids faintly and looked at them, and then silently lowered their heads again.

No one stretched out their hands, and no one went to get food.

Not even a single person opened their mouths to respond.

Everyone was so hard that they couldn't eat anything.

They hate that the person they can't sacrifice is themselves, not others.

The two comrades-in-arms who were crawling with them and getting along day and night had closed their eyes forever.

They can no longer eat, drink, or even feel the temperature of the world......

The colonel felt sad for a while, and his eyes began to redden.

They are all soldiers, and he can experience emotions that ordinary people can't understand.

If he led the team out today, only to come back with the corpses of his comrades, he would probably be even more devastated.

The colonel silently walked up to Lin Hui's side, didn't say anything, patted his shoulder with his right hand, and held it tightly.

Lin Hui's nose was sour, and tears had begun to roll in his eyes.

At this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Thank you."

Lin Hui turned his head slowly, only to see that the seven hostages had come behind him at some point.

The two girls had tears on their faces and their eyes full of gratitude.

The other five were equally grateful.

The eldest man said to Lin Hui sincerely: "Thank you very much, thank you for the soldiers who saved me in the first place, if it weren't for you, we would have died outside a long time ago." ”

The man next to him wiped his tears: "Not only are we dying outside, but our relatives in China may not even be able to see our remains." ”

The two men bowed deeply towards Lin Hui.

Several of the other rescued hostages similarly bent at ninety degrees and bowed deeply.

They solemnly said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you Yanguo People's Liberation Army!" ”

Lin Hui's tears couldn't be stopped any longer, flowing hot down his cheeks.

He quickly turned his head, not wanting anyone to see it.

Looking at the sky in the distance, he silently thought in his heart: "Do you hear, the people are thanking you, our efforts are worth it!" ”
