The gunpowder smoke that has not yet dispersed no longer smells so pungent.Seeing the vaguely retreating figure of the enemy on the opposite side, Li Lan collapsed weakly on the wall.

The scenes he had just experienced were like movie shots, constantly flashing before his eyes.But it is far from what those pale movie plots can match.

Cannonballs, bombings, explosions, and sudden doomsday scenes completely subverted Li Lan's definition of battle and even war.Facing the enemy's frenzied bombardment, what he had done seemed so pale and powerless, the only thing he could do was humblely shrink in the corner, praying in his heart that all this would stop.

However, the cessation of the shelling only heralded the beginning. When seeing the densely packed enemies and huge bodies, armored vehicles spewing fire snakes appearing in front, Li Lan realized that he had even forgotten the feeling of fear.

All of this began with my own "tap". The essentials of training with mobilized soldiers are obviously not well memorized now. The only thing I remember is repeating aiming, firing, changing magazines...

The battle makes people breathless, and they don’t even have time to think. Every time they fight back, they will get a more violent bullet rain. The only thing Li Lan can do is to stick the muzzle out of the bunker and fire a few random shots. Then he moved immediately. This was the case. The bullets were still like disgusting flies. They flew around on his head and left and right. Smelling the scent of the mud baked by the hot bullets, he found for the first time that he would be free from death. So close.It seems that if any bullet wants to go a little bit wayward, it can penetrate the not solid bunker and tear itself out easily.

It's annoying, and the one who caused this disaster, officially yourself.

With such complicated emotions, Li Lan continued the unfinished battle. What surprised him was that he had forgotten the fear that had been entangled with him before, and every tactical movement and shooting method he learned in the barracks was suddenly abnormal at this moment. Clearly appeared in my mind.

Finally, in this shocking impulse mixed with anger, Li Lan ushered in the first interval of fighting after reaching the city wall.

After talking on the phone with Farah, Li Lan asked Muhammad to take a rest, and he came to the wall. This time he came to the wall with the sound of guns. The only thing he can do when he sees the enemy coming close by the dark is pressing. Take up weapons and join the battle.

This is an instinct, an instinct to be unwilling to the status quo.

At this time, the soldiers who fought with him were all fresh troops who had rested for a period of time. Ahmed was sent to the rear to rest with a mandatory order, while he stood on the wall without reason.

This is definitely not his character, because he is not the kind of person who does not sacrifice. With the existence of the base, he does not want to die.But there was no reason for everything. Seeing his soldiers fighting back one by one, he unconsciously took up the weapon and vented his anger at the enemy.

Even he can't figure out why he would do this now.And he can't go down now. The mobilized soldiers are also human, and they also have feelings. His own existence makes their fighting spirit reach its zenith in an instant.He didn't dare to go down because he didn't know whether such a high morale would collapse in an instant after such a walk.

The enemy retreated helplessly. They had to retreat. The three armored vehicles that launched the charge once again were all destroyed. One of them even reached 30 meters from the city wall and was blown out by a preset anti-tank mine. A hole.

At that time, there were cheers everywhere on the city wall, but now, Li Lan found that everyone was more or less silent. Soldiers who didn’t smoke before were smoking cigarettes from nowhere, looking at us. It looks like it’s not smoking but eating.

The two soldiers were carefully guarding the soldier whose arms had been cut off during the battle. It seems that in order to avoid irritating him, the two soldiers did not mention his injury, and Li Lan just saw that the hygienist cut him away. Next to the shrapnel of his arm, he picked up his unrecognizable stump and threw it into the burning pit dug behind the city wall.

Because of the hot weather in Africa, the corpses must be destroyed as soon as possible. Many incineration pits have been dug in the city walls. Every day, the soldiers who died are burned to prevent the breeding of diseases.

"Go and see the monitor! I'll be fine." Weakly glanced at the comrades around me, and the mobilizer, code-named fourth, whispered to the others. Although he didn't know why, Li Lan realized that he knew the fourth. To tell the truth, even the fourth oldest person is considered the happiest person compared to the soldiers who just died.The poor boss got this seemingly beautiful title just because he slept in the place closest to the door, but a nasty mortar shell just now completely solidified him here.

"Give me that cigarette." Li Lan has always disliked smoking, because he thinks smoking is a waste of people's will, but seeing the soldiers who are swallowing clouds, he feels that he needs cigarettes at this moment.

"Ah! Commander." The fourth child was obviously taken aback. After reacting, he immediately took out a cigarette and helped Li Lan light it up.

Taking a deep breath, then spit it out slowly, Li Lan asked the fourth child beside him: "Do you have any ideals?"

Compared with other people, Li Lan found that the fourth child is the coolest now. Just after helping him light a cigarette, the fourth child took out the engineer shovel again, shoveled the scattered sand into the bag, and then put the sand-filled belt. Tie tightly and stack them on the battlements.

Hear the questions asked by the commander who is like a god in his heart.The fourth child stopped the engineering shovel in his hand. He admitted that he was afraid of death. He didn't believe it at all, or even hoped that he could be a hero. Especially when he arrived on the battlefield, he hoped that he could survive, even if he lived one more minute. of.He hopes that he can live intact, retire intact, own his own house intact, then find someone to marry and have children, and then happily worry about the trivial things with them.And to do all of this, the only way out is to live, to survive on the battlefield of nine deaths.

Can't surrender to the enemy, can't sell friends, can't escape~!This is a bottom line that every mobilized soldier sets for himself, the Old Siye Hospital, other than that, he feels nothing to worry about.

The sandbags must be made higher, the blast-proof holes must be firmer, and the ammunition must be calculated.When others were resting, the fourth child silently tired himself to death, and all this was just to meet the simplest requirements and let himself survive.

"My ideal is to live by following the commander's orders. Don't surrender to the enemy, sell friends, don't run away." The old fourth's eyes slowly became firm, and he replied sonorously.

At this time, the soldiers next to him also shouted in unison: "Always be loyal to the commander, perform the sacred mission confided by the commander without worry and unconditional, and do not surrender to the enemy, sell friends, or run away."

"You are all good!" Li Lan was very useful. Looking at these soldiers with different skin colors and listening to their loud slogans, they suddenly felt that these talents are his closest people.

"Fourth Battalion Commander, have the statistics come up?" Moved, Li Lan cheered up like never before, picked up the binoculars, looked at the enemies who were gathering again in the distance outside the city, and asked a major not far away loudly.

"According to statistics, 33 people were lost in combat, of which 14 were killed and 19 were seriously injured. They have now been sent to the hospital, and the minor injuries are still being counted." The commander of the fourth battalion held a crumpled manuscript and lowered his head. Tao.

"The calculation of ammunition is not enough to let the troops responsible for logistics replenish it immediately."

Li Lan knows very well that he is doing everything possible to defend here, while the enemy is doing everything possible to kill himself.

In order to gain more time, he needs to organize a strong counterattack. He must let the external forces see his own strength. It is best to let the other side retreat when he is in trouble. It is not impossible to let these enemies take the initiative to retreat. To strive for enough bargaining chips.

This is what he decided to do after talking with Farah, which is more urgent and important than building defensive units on the walls.

As long as he can show enough deterrence, and then start a conversation with the other party under Farah's lead, he is confident that he can start the situation in front of him to change in his own favorable direction.

In order to accomplish this goal, he needs strong offensive means to achieve it.
