Dream is King

In fact, it was only a ten-minute drive. I saw the edge of the city in front of the downhill. First, two wheeled armored personnel carriers were parked on the road in a V-shape, with only one vehicle in the middle. It is said that as long as there is something wrong, Release one of the parking brakes at any time, which is similar to the handbrake of a civilian car. If you collide along this slope, you can lock the entire road. The armed states without heavy equipment are really even motor vehicles. Don't even think about it!

   Now it's natural that the defenders salute the high-ranking officials, and even the operatives in the pickup truck have their backs quite straight.

Taking advantage of Qiu Zedong's speech, Bai Haonan also hung up the magazine chest, carrying the M16 rifle in his hand, and jumped out of the car with Qiu Zedong. It was almost noon, and the tropical area where the sun is usually sunny is a bit cloudy today. It seems to be the scene in front of the confirmation.

The wreckage of the vehicle was driven to the repair shop in the camp behind, and the burned one was pushed directly to the side of the road. Two murderous tank muzzles were facing the city and stood at the foot of the mountain, and then a transport in the military camp. The waterwheel was scouring the road, and the dark red object that was thick enough to stick was washed into the drains and soil on both sides.

The corpses on the road nearby have been cleaned up, but they are still in progress in the distance. The main reason is that there are not many people involved. After all, the front is the battle area. Teams of armed soldiers are holding guns and hiding under the eaves to rest. I didn't go to help when we chatted, so the people who carried the corpse weren't very active, so take your time.

Bai Haonan walked slowly along the road with his rifle crossed, and signaled that his guards did not need to follow him. He felt that he was here to recite the scriptures. Snipers, you may be exposed as an important target at any time." Having said that, he still walked in front of Bai Haonan to block, Bai Haonan wanted to laugh and scolded and kicked away the short man who couldn't cover his head, but looked at the wet man. Soles, bear with it.

   When he rescued the helicopter crew yesterday, he was so irritated that he never wanted to come here again.

   But the reality is obviously that he wants to stay here for a long time. Unless he abandons everything and runs away, he can only face this place. Since he woke up in the morning, he remembered that there should be no chanting here last night, so he has to make up for it.

   Repeatedly recited Huixiangwen with words in his mouth, and walked slowly along the street.

   Entering those relatively narrow streets that would not be taken care of by snipers in the distance, Qiu Zedong moved to the side to watch Bai Haonan chanting scriptures.

In fact, Bai Haonan is more like walking while singing. The scriptures that are already familiar and well-known can be recited smoothly without needing to use the brain, and the voice does not need to be too loud. Otherwise, when passing by the soldiers under the walls and the migrant workers carrying the corpses, their eyes will be lost. How strange.

As they left the main road, there were a lot of corpses and bloodstains, which became even more ugly after a night, and they were no different from the ones I saw piled up outside the school yesterday. It’s ridiculous that Zhuang Chenxiang said that today’s TV and newspapers have hyped the massacre of the rebels in the city. , those shocking photos of corpses are deeply influential even if they are mosaicked, not to mention the original photos "accidentally" circulated on the Internet. The party who initiated the rebellion has become an evil force to criticize.

   In fact, standing here, I vaguely understand the truth that all the participants are not so innocent.

It was rare to walk through a back street without corpses and bloodstains, and Qiu Zedong finally couldn't help but say, "Is this really safe?" Even though Bai Haonan explained to him that he didn't believe in Buddhism, it is still a bit difficult to understand such a stubborn habit, especially These people are caused by their own hands or by guiding the big killer.

Bai Haonan nodded: "It's similar to playing football with me, I'm an opponent on the field, I can do anything I can, and I can do anything about breaking my leg. After the game, I'm friends with almost all the players of each team, except for those little belly chicken intestines. The vengeful guy, the first time I read the scriptures like this, I felt that we are all small people, why we fight, why do we kill, that is not something we can decide, then face-to-face as an opponent, if you kill, the game is over, then Just send each other on the road, that's all, so I don't have any hatred for these people, and I don't have any guilt for myself."

   Qiu Zedong pondered for a while and simply worshipped: "It makes sense! I heard that there are often people in the European and American armies who have psychological problems due to killing on the battlefield, so there are military chaplains, but our culture is low, but few people think about this."

   Bai Haonan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I'll find psychological comfort for myself, man, don't think how advanced you are."

   Qiu Zedong kept nodding: "You also respect life and fear death."

  Bai Haonan walked slowly and shook his head slowly: "I don't know, anyway, now I know that those little smarts I used to be proud of are not worth mentioning in such a situation."

   Qiu Zedong wanted to recite the scriptures, but Bai Haonan smiled and left the rare seriousness: "But I'm not a chicken thief, so I can find a safe excuse for myself. It's the same reason to put up your pants and leave when you're picking up girls!"

   Qiu Zedong, who wanted to learn the big truth, was a little confused.

However, this chanting also allowed Bai Haonan to walk through the entire battlefield in detail, and his mind was miraculously calmed down. When he passed the wreckage of the helicopter with its wings on its buttocks, there were at least dozens of soldiers here to disperse defenses, and the corpses around There are very few, one by one hurriedly saluted the commander-in-chief under the leadership of the company commander.

I couldn't see clearly last night, but now Bai Haonan curiously approached Qiu Zedong to observe, the company commander hurried to explain: "Rifle, it should be a lot of rifles and machine guns shooting at the sky at the same time, but bad luck hit this helicopter. Driver, you see there are several holes here..."

  Bai Haonan's conclusion is that this big killer is unreliable. Looking at the pros and cons in the sky, the army company commander nodded.

   Bai Haonan was startled to realize that he had a little more leadership, and condolences to the soldiers who were on duty here, saying that when the crane came to get the helicopter away, they could all retreat to the position on the mountain, and he hurriedly slipped away.

  Standing on the messy road, although there were not many corpses, at any time, I felt that a large number of militants might rush out of any intersection.

However, at this time, I saw many doors and windows of the houses were opened. I don't know if it was the rebels last night or the soldiers who were bored defending today. Bai Haonan and Qiu Zedong also took a look. There was a building that was slightly tidy. Memories: "This seems to be an office rented by an international organization..."

  Bai Haonan, however, looked into the messy ground and saw this dirty book. He had never been interested in books. He suddenly stopped and picked it up. For nothing else, there was a black and white football on the cover: "What is written?"

   Qiu Zedong probed and was ashamed: "I don't know English either." The level of education he can receive, at most Chinese and Burmese, English is only rare in this land like Zhuang Chenxiang.

It has a green background and a yellow border, but the entire cover is a yellow card. It is a football field drawn with chalk, and then a lot of hand-painted patterns are folded. Very irregular arrows, small ×, circles, um, I drew it with him at the commanding and combat meeting just now. The circles in the book are also similar in style, so adding the black and white football in the center of the cover makes Bai Haonan feel extra friendly, and it is rare for him to flip through it, who has never read books.

Even if the chalk handwriting on the cover was so fancy that he couldn't distinguish the letters, he opened it to see that it was basically all in English, and only a few pages did the map of the field appear. It felt like a football book about formations or training tactics. , he took it under his arm and said, "Take it back and ask Mr. Major, he must know English!"

   said that he even wentssips about the person who had breakfast with the major in the morning: "Damn, you didn't see that pretentiousness..."

Qiu Zedong said seriously: "It's not pretentious, Myanmar has been colonized by the British for decades, and the military system and the etiquette and customs of the upper class are all based on the British, which is very similar to India and other countries that have also been colonized. British style The military system, the afternoon tea, and the servant relationship were all carried over from that time."

   Bai Haonan suddenly realized.

   When walking slowly back along the main highway, Bai Haonan turned his head by chance, the sky was getting gloomier, Qiu Zedong was familiar with it: "Before the rainy season comes, there will be such rainy days one after another, so these corpses must be disposed of quickly."

Maybe he was really stunned by yesterday's sap, and he fought around the capital for more than ten days to win the city. The rebels, who hurriedly held a military parade, did not try to launch any attack on this side all day. , there are not even ordinary people who come to explore. Maybe the formation of soldiers guarding every intersection in that part of the city is too scary, and it is almost impossible to drive tanks and armored vehicles into the city. This is also the previous government army attacked these autonomous states. City practice.

But today we only occupy a very limited corner. If we still have to guard the wreckage of the helicopter, it is estimated that all the soldiers will be evacuated when it is dark. Even if there is a heavy fire position on the mountain behind us, in order to strengthen our courage, we will give this place at night. Fires were lit at every intersection in the area, and in addition to lighting, the bodies were also being burned.

There are too many. This issue was discussed in the regular meeting in the afternoon. Burying more than 800 enemy corpses will inevitably leave scenes of mass graves being excavated in the future. In line with the requirements of post-war epidemic prevention, it must be dealt with immediately. , or by burning it.

Therefore, standing on the hillside and overlooking the capital city that has been fighting for many times, there seems to be some electric lights in the distance, and there are only firelights in the vicinity. an incinerator.

There was an unpleasant smell in the air. Bai Haonan turned his attention after reading it, and showed the book to Weng Lai. The major with a stick took a look at the light lit by the flashlight of the orderly next to him: "soccerIQ, it should mean football IQ. It's written by the Americans. Only Americans use soccer to describe English football, not the football that the British love to use."

   How did Bai Haonan understand this culture of slang and translation between the United States and Britain, and asked with a smile: "What do you say?"

   Weng Lai flipped through it inexplicably: "It's just an ordinary football textbook, where did it come from? Few people here read this kind of book."

   Bai Haonan pointed to the distant city like a beggar picking up garbage: "It is said that there used to be the residence of an international organization."

The major nodded and handed it back, and started walking down the hillside. Of course, they wouldn't walk over the hill for hours to come here. Engineers dug out temporary steps along the side of the hillside, so that the officers and scouts could climb to the heights at any time. Observe, the following vehicles are waiting: "I think you are right, so starting from tomorrow, a small group of scouts and mobile units will start to conduct irregular harassment operations in enemy-occupied areas, try to see the effect, Now the point is..."

   When he turned around, he found that Bai Haonan was flipping through the English book with the book in hand. The elite soldiers didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, they shook their heads and walked down the mountain by themselves.

Bai Haonan also deliberately kept a distance from the other party and did not interfere with military planning, but in this place where there are only soldiers, he couldn't really take classes with female orderlies every day, so when he returned to his own site, he saw Li Haizhou was giving a large group of The action team composed of football teenagers and young soldiers allocated accommodation, and immediately beckoned to call Ono over, handed over the book, and said, "Chinese! Can it be translated into Chinese?"

I can't ask the dignified army major to translate, but when I asked, I found out that Xiao Ye can barely speak Japanese, and if he can translate it into Chinese, that's a ghost, so he went out with Qiu Zedong who came over. Idea: "Learn English! Only the upper class can learn English here. Now we can only stay in this place except for fighting. Why don't we use this time to learn English. Let's learn together, Ono will learn Chinese in turn, and I will send a contact tomorrow. Members go to the border to buy textbooks and so on.”

   When did Bai Haonan like to read books, his attention immediately shifted: "Can you go to the border line?"

Qiu Zedong pointed in the direction: "It's not far, it's a straight-line distance of seven or eight kilometers. In the past, the mules that used to transport goods used to travel over mountains and mountains, but now they are more and more remote. At least you can buy and sell things in the farmers' markets, shops, and bookstores near the port. Everything you want can be bought there. When there was no war here, there were couriers going back and forth every day. Come on, don't waste your time at all."

   Bai Haonan's heart suddenly became hot: "Look! Go and have a look, take me there tomorrow..."

Even Li Haizhou could laugh at him: "My brother! You are the nominal commander of the entire war zone. You can either approach with a large group of soldiers and horses as if you are going to attack the border, or you can sneak away. , what do you think the major will do with you when you come back? This is the army, you think you can do whatever you want in the town? But you can send me there and promise to complete the task, hahaha!"

   Bai Haonan suddenly realized this distinction in status, and he would lose some freedom when he was respected by his status.

   The things in this world are so fair.

   Of course, the fairest thing is that I didn’t make it the next day.
