The sky fell heavily, covering the mess in the wasteland. A beautiful sunset floated on the horizon, like burning residual blood.

Illya stared at the horizon infatuatedly, wishing that she could be the sunset on the horizon, burning out, and completely bid farewell to this world!

"Illya!" The head nurse's voice came from behind her, "What are you daydreaming about?! The wounded are waiting for you!"

Illya blinked slowly, and her consciousness finally fell back to the world. So the vision, sound and smell also came back.

Corpses were everywhere, wailing was everywhere, and smoke was everywhere. Every inch of land was stained red with blood, and people fell every moment.

Looking at the sunset again, isn't that blood?

Illya squatted numbly to treat the wound of the new wounded.

In fact, Illya didn't need to do anything to treat the wound. His right arm was gone, and there was a big hole in his stomach, and his intestines were exposed.

Ilya was not a surgeon. She was just a propaganda soldier before. But most of the nurses in the army had died in the war, so she took over as a propaganda worker.

There were only simple gauze and wound medicine in her health bag, which could only be used for simple bandaging and hemostasis. But the soldier was too seriously injured and could only wait to die.

If she could die, she would also want to die. What was the point of living like this?

But suicide was illegal. She could only be killed by the enemy.

Ilya felt that this day was not far away. When she saw all the girls on the conscription train, she understood: most of the men in the country had died, so they needed women to replace them.

She once again remembered what Le Jing said before leaving: "When most of the men have died, women can have a chance."

But she would rather not have such an opportunity!

"Doctor, am I going to die?" A weak voice came from the ground.

Ilya glanced at him. This was a young man who had probably just graduated from school and was only a few years older than her son.

Her Alyosha also died in the war. Because he had run out of bullets, he smashed his head with a stone to avoid being captured.

She once resented the leader's order. Why should he commit suicide once he was captured by the enemy, otherwise it would be considered treason? ! If not, if not!

Her Alyosha could still survive! ! !

But it doesn't matter now. She is going to see Alyosha soon.

"Nurse, I have seen you." The young man looked at the sky blankly, and his voice was soft as if he was talking to himself, "You bit off my arm."

Illya was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered when she saw the dull blonde hair.

That day she went to the battlefield to provide first aid under the air raid of the enemy's ** army. At that time, the young man's arm was broken, and his life would be in danger if he didn't amputate. However, all her equipment fell off, so in the end she bit off his arm with her teeth.

"Ah, it's you." Illya said lightly: "I didn't expect you to go to the battlefield in the end."

The young man smiled weakly: "I would rather die as a hero on the battlefield than wait to die like a coward."

... Did Alyosha think so at the beginning?

Illya didn't know, and she would never know.

"Do you regret it?" She asked suddenly for some reason.

"I don't regret it." A tear suddenly slipped from the corner of the young man's eye: "But my mother is still waiting for me... I am the youngest child in the family, and I promised my mother that I would not stay on the battlefield like my father, brothers and sisters..."

Illya felt that her perception had left, and she trembled her lips numbly, not knowing what she could say.

Her Alyosha...

Now recalling her first half of life, it was like a dream.

She was the daughter of a businessman, the only daughter in the family, and she had been loved by her parents since she was a child. Her father's plan for her future was to find a good husband for her and help her manage the property left by her parents. Illya just had to continue to be a rich and pampered wife.

But she was unwilling.

She thought she was as smart as any man, and her grades were far better than all her classmates. Why couldn't she inherit her father's business? Just because she was a woman, she couldn't show her face and work hard like a man?

As she got older, this unwillingness and resentment became stronger and stronger.

This society was a prison for her, and public opinion and law strictly guarded her.

So she chose to flee abroad in the name of studying abroad.

It was under such circumstances that she met Mary, her kind.

Mary was not a good woman in the secular sense. She was divorced, smoked and drank, had a tough personality like a man, and had close contacts with some strange men and women. People who knew her said she was a lunatic, a dissolute lunatic.

Isn't it crazy enough for a woman to want to have the same rights as men? It is said that Mary's husband divorced her because he couldn't stand Mary's idea of ​​going out to work.

But Illya liked Mary very much. This was the first time she met someone like Mary. Strong, brave, persistent, and resolute, she is not afraid of the secular gaze and bravely fights against the secular world.

She has become what Illya wants to be the most.

Mary wrote a book called "Women's Dilemma". Illya can still remember a few sentences in it: "Women have intelligence that is not inferior to men, but unfortunately not many people notice this", "Women should not be trapped at home, which is a great waste of social resources. Women should work like men and create more social value"... Every sentence touched her heart.

Later, Mary gave her a devil's book that would be listed as ** by the church in the future - "The Second Sex". Until today, she has always believed that this book is the Bible of women.

It was through this book that she truly awakened. She understood the source of women's dilemma and the goal and direction of moving forward.

It was also from this that she met the man who would become the mentor of the women's equal rights revolution in the future - Le Jing, a time traveler from the future.

Now think about it, it was a happy, fulfilling and carefree time. They immersed themselves in the sea of ​​books and talked with the sages from ancient times to the present; they expressed their own opinions and enriched and improved their understanding of the world; they united as one and vowed to fight the conservative forces in society to the end.

At that time, they ignored all the signs of danger and naively thought that they could change the world.

Perhaps it was because of this that Le Jing warned them before leaving: "... You will be betrayed, slandered, arrested, expelled, and you are likely to die before the dawn of the new world."

It came true.

Member Sophia colluded with Linda's mortal enemy, a noble lady named Sarah. During a rally attended by Linda, the guards broke in... Linda was expelled from the family, imprisoned, and died in depression.

Elizabeth and several noble ladies drew a clear line with the organization and never had any contact with it.

Mei chose to reconcile with her domestic violence husband and return to her family.

Oghma...

The initial members became fewer and fewer, and in the end, only she and Mary were left.

Then came the war predicted by Le Jing.

All the men went to the war.

They seized the opportunity to start revising books, propaganda, developing movements, marching and demonstrating, and calling for equal rights.

Oh, yes, she also had a short marriage and had Alyosha.

Unknowingly, Mary and her have become leaders of the feminist revolution. Countless women regard them as spiritual leaders, and countless women take every word in Mary's "The Second Sex" as their own, and their team is growing stronger and stronger.

Later, Mary went to the battlefield wearing pants and became the first female pilot.

That day, Illya sent a bunch of lilies to Linda's grave.

Later, the memory was very confusing. Much more confusing than what was recorded in Le Jing's notes.

The shells were used up. Mary's plane was the last shell.

Six years after her death, the country of Myrican announced that adult women had the right to vote.

Ten years after her death, the cabinet of Maizi had a female Minister of Education.

That day, Illya took her son to Mary's grave and sat for an afternoon. She brought Mary a pot of her favorite wine and drank alone until she was drunk.

In her drunken eyes, she once again saw Mary's epitaph - Mary Taylor, died before the dawn of the new world.

Sixteen years after Mary's death, when Alyosha was eighteen, the war began again.

Eight years earlier than the time recorded in the notebook Le Jing gave them.

A more cruel, more inhumane, and more anti-human war began.

The root of the evil caused by human greed triggered a fierce backlash in this war.

Hell is empty, and the devil is on earth.

The situation is getting more and more critical. The enemy's army has already stepped into the land of her country. This is the last and most critical moment.

When she and her son returned to the country, almost all the men in the country had died, and later Alyosha also died. Then cars came one after another, pulling the elderly and children, and his father also died.

Finally, the women went to the battlefield with a nurse bag in one hand and a submachine gun in the other.

How long has the war been going on? Illya couldn't remember. She only knew that the nurse who was in the same team with her at the beginning was the only one left.

She only knew that the dead were all tenth grade boys younger than Alyosha.

She only knew that she had killed 12 people. With guns, grenades, teeth, nails and poison! If she could, she would dig out their hearts and bones! Alyosha is dead, why are you still alive? !

She only knew that the powerful female sniper that the prisoners of war had curiously asked about not long ago had died in battle. Because she couldn't help but bring her favorite red scarf when she was on duty.

She only knew that nurse Elena and her four-year-old daughter died on the battlefield. They actually committed suicide.

She only knew that a civilian mother threw her child to death because she didn't want the child to be killed by the enemy.

She only knew that they were short of resources, many soldiers were fighting on an empty stomach, and some soldiers didn't even have guns, while the enemy's trenches had coffee and bread!

She only knew... they would win. But she couldn't see it anymore.

She had been happy and painful in her life. Now thinking about it, there were more painful days and fewer happy days.

When they were young, they had lofty ambitions and believed they could change the world. But in this world, they are all floating like duckweed, helpless.

The young man underground has stopped breathing. The roar of bombers can be heard again overhead.

Illya stared blankly at the huge iron bird approaching her in the sky, and she suddenly felt that it was Mary flying towards her on a plane.

"What are you doing in a daze?! Hide!" the head nurse yelled in her ear and pushed her.

Look, Mary's blond hair is shining in the sun, and she is smiling at her!

A carefree smile suddenly appeared on her face, as if she had returned to her girlhood: "Let's go." She opened her arms and ran towards the iron bird, her smile as bright as the sunshine that penetrated the dark clouds, "Come Mary Pick me up!”

She closed her eyes. The bomb exploded next to her, sucking her into the intense heat wave.

For no reason, she suddenly heard the words Le Jing once said: "If the sky is always dark, then live in the dark; if it is dangerous to make a sound, then remain silent; if you feel that you are unable to shine, then crouch in the dark. Corner. But don't defend darkness when you are used to it; don't be proud of your own complacency; don't mock those who are braver and more passionate than yourself. We can be as humble as dust, but we cannot be twisted like maggots."

"Now, I give this to you, and I hope you can do it."

Teacher, I did it.

I really hope you can praise me again.

The author has something to say:

After World War II, Western women were allowed to wear pants out of necessity to participate in the war. Before that, the famous American movie star Marlena Dietrich was arrested by the police for shopping in pantsuits.

During World War II, the British Army had 225,000 female soldiers, the US Army had 450,000 to 500,000 female soldiers, the German Army had 500,000 female soldiers, and the Soviet Union had as many as 1 million women participating in the war. They are snipers, artillerymen, tankers, signalmen, machine gunners, pilots, guerrillas, etc., and of course doctors and nurses.

Everything that Illya experienced on the battlefield in this article is a real thing that happened on the Soviet-German battlefield. Jinjiang does not allow writing on the theme of World War II, so this chapter is completely empty. Please keep your comments low-key_(:з”∠)_

Finally, I wish for world peace.

Ps. Is there anyone who wants to take advantage of Mary and Illya? [Shut up, you devil! 】
