When the last trace of the sun was completely blocked by the mountains, Zhao Shengli, who was walking at the front, finally raised his hand to indicate a stop.
Seeing this, Captain Brendon, who had already run out of breath, immediately lay down next to a pine tree next to the rock, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Can you?" No, give me some water."
Hearing this, Wei Ran, who had just untied the kettle, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of hawthorn leaf tea before passing the kettle over. He himself was not much better than Brendan. For most of the day, although the Americans did not send any planes, the convoy that was blocked on the road by the Weifang sent 40 or 50 people to hunt them down.
In other words, they have not stopped since Wei Ran blew up the mountain at the corner of the road, and have basically been running exhausted under the leadership of Zhao Shengli.
When Brendan took the kettle and poured the little tea left in it into his mouth, Wei Ran asked out of breath, "Shengli, we, we, do we still have to keep running?" "
"No need for the time being."
Zhao Shengli wiped the sweat from his forehead and temples, "We just ran so far along the stream in the mountains. Those chasing soldiers should follow We can’t come up. So we’ll rest and wait until it gets completely dark, then we’ll go back to yesterday’s shack.”
“How far is it from there?”
Wei Ran drove the crowd away. The big mosquito that came up asked. Out of his trust in Zhao Shengli, and because he was busy guarding the prisoner Brendon who had cheated several times and said he couldn't run away, for most of the day, Wei Ran didn't pay attention to where he was going. direction to run. To put it more bluntly, he was already lost.
“Not that far”
Zhao Shengli pointed to a dark mountain in the distance and said, “We will be there when we climb over that mountain. Comrade Wei Ran, you dig After setting up the smokeless stove, I'll pick up some firewood and get some water. Let's get some food to fill our stomachs first."
"Leave it to me."
Wei Ran was talking. He had already taken off his backpack, then took off his leggings, and tied Brendan behind his back to a tree with thick thighs and a crooked neck not far away. Even to be on the safe side, after Zhao Shengli left with the kettle and lunch box, he took out Brendan's belt and fixed his neck to the crooked-neck tree.
"You are being abusive." Brendon struggled dissatisfiedly.
"It's not easy to run here with so much effort, so don't force me to kill you."
Wei Ran casually picked up a glass from his bag The bottle of Coke shook the other person, "If you cooperate, I can treat you to a Coke later." Hearing this, Brendan subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth. He just drank it. Two sips of slightly sweet and sour tea, that little amount of water was not even enough to soothe his throat. If he could have a bottle of Coke at this time, it would definitely be a temptation for him.
On the other hand, although he could not understand Chinese, he had discovered for most of the day that the soldier in front of him looked at him as if he was looking at prey.Chang respects the young warrior who left with the water bottle.
In fact, he had no doubt that before the little warrior came back, if he did something dangerous, the man in front of him would definitely not show mercy.
Thinking of this, Brendon immediately said, "I promise not to move, but you have to put this bottle of Coke where I can see it."
"No problem. ”
Wei Ran happily placed the Coke on a stone one meter away from Brendan, then took out the engineer shovel from his backpack, chose a fairly sloped land, and followed Zhao Shengli’s example yesterday He looked like a gourd and dug out a smokeless stove.
He randomly picked up some dead branches from the surroundings, and when the jumping flames rose in the stove, Zhao Shengli also came back with a kettle.
Glancing at the prisoner tied to the tree, Zhao Shengli didn't say anything. He just helped Wei Ran heat up the can, and then took out a handful of hawthorn from his bag. Leaves and hawthorn berries were stuffed into several pots filled with water, and they were placed side by side to block the mouth of the stove where flames came out from time to time.
While the cans were being heated, Zhao Shengli asked Wei Ran to place the soaked cloth shoes around the stove, and then personally helped the prisoner Brendan take off his soaked boots and socks. Placed around the stove.
It wasn't until everything was done that he untied Brendan's restraints and said politely "Setter's crotch chestnut" in English with an accent.
"You know English too?" Wei Ran took out another bottle of Coke from his bag and handed it over as he spoke.
"How can I speak American?"
After Zhao Shengli took the Coke and sat down with a smile, "Comrade Chen Qi taught me this. I thought about catching prisoners in the future. I may not be able to use it, so I just learned a few sentences. This is the first time I speak American to Americans after laying down their weapons."
"What else have you learned?" Wei Ran said without leaving a trace. The pistol on his waist was secretly guarding against Brendan who was sitting far away from him by wiping the gun.
What made him laugh and cry was that although Brendon was far away from him, he was subconsciously close to Zhao Shengli. He even took the initiative after biting open the Coke bottle cap. Passed it to Zhao Shengli.
Zhao Shengli said "three q's" out of his mouth, and then he took the Coke from Brendan and replied with a little shyness, "I haven't learned a few words, just three q's." q. Hello, there is also the one about asking him where he came from. But the best thing I said is the one about putting down your weapons."
"That sentence is enough. "Wei Ran said with a smile, "Try it, it's delicious."
"I've had this American sugar water before."
Zhao Shengli picked it up. He took a sip from the Coke bottle, "We captured an American headquarters before and found a lot of these things. This sugar water is not very tasty, but this bottle is good-looking and strong, and everyone used it to make kerosene lamps.". ”
Wei Ran couldn’t help but fell silent. It would obviously take a long process for Zhao Shengli, a young man who was only in his early 20s at most, to get used to the pleasure released by Feizhai Happy Water after stimulating dopamine. .
Similarly, in order to allow future generations of young people around the same age as Zhao Shengli to enjoy a bottle of ice-cold "American Sugar Water" for two yuan and a half at any time, Zhao Shengli at this time, And the price that more volunteer soldiers like Zhao Shengli have to pay is probably far beyond the imagination of future generations of peers
"Why are you so dazed?"
Zhao Shengli will After only taking a sip of the Coke, he handed it to Wei Ran, "You drink it, I can't get used to this. "
"You drink it"
Wei Ran patted his backpack and said, "I picked up several bottles. When I get back, both Squad Leader Lin and Squad Leader Sun and Chen Qi will have a share. That's right."
As he spoke, Wei Ran put his hand into his bag. After some fumbling, he took out a watch and handed it to Zhao Shengli, and said before the other party spoke, " I didn't snatch this watch from Leng Buding, nor did I snatch it from the wounded black man in the truck. I snatched it from the body of the first car we ambush. "
Wei Ran paused for half a second when he said this. Seeing that Zhao Shengli was about to speak again, he hurriedly said again, "I think you are a scout, and it will be convenient to have a watch. This is for Combat missions are not for greed of money, really not. "
Zhao Shengli opened his mouth, and finally reached out to take the watch, clumsily clasping it on his wrist and looking at it, "Comrade Wei Ran, I believe what you said, this piece I accepted the watch. "
Hearing this, Wei Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could say anything else, Zhao Shengli asked, "Have you thought clearly about the problems on the road? Why should we treat prisoners preferentially? ”
“To show that we are teachers of justice”
“We are originally teachers of justice.” Zhao Shengli didn’t wait for Wei Ran to finish speaking before adding, and then, he But he suddenly asked, "Comrade Wei Ran, do you like fighting?" Hearing this, Wei Ran couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Zhao Shengli to ask this question suddenly.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer this question, Zhao Shengli said to himself, "I don't like it anyway. When I was a kid, the little devils came in and many people were killed in our village. I used to have a brother above me, and he was killed by a kid.
My mother said that at that time, when my brother was less than ten years old, he was killed by little devils for no reason. For such a young child, all the internal organs were picked out and thrown into the well of our village. inside.
Later, I finally managed to drive away the little devils, and fought with the Allergic Party for several years, beating them away, and also fought with bandits from various places. Although we all won the battle, people will die in the war. I am not afraid of death, but I don't like fighting. "
Having said this, Zhao Shengli pointed to Brendon next to him, "I guess LengComrade Bu Ding probably doesn’t like fighting either. He is so happy at home with his wife and children warming up on the kang and drinking their American sugar water. But why is he here?”
Still not waiting for Wei Ran’s answer , Zhao Shengli took a sip of Coke that he was not used to drinking, took a breath and said to himself, "He was also deceived. I think the politicians in the United States must have said so, fellow villagers, We are here to uphold justice. So, we have to pick up the gun.
Also, those Chinese people on the battlefield are all man-eating monsters. If you fall into their hands, it will definitely not be good. You must not surrender. You must Fight them desperately. Kill one and you'll get your money back, kill two and you'll make a profit. "
Hearing this, Wei Ran couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. The speculation expressed in this simple language was basically not very different from the facts. Even in future generations, even if this war ends, The United States is still weaving the same old and high-sounding lies.
Zhao Shengli took another sip of Coke, burped and continued, "But in fact, they went to other people's homes to fight. Where do they get their fucking justice? I think Comrade Leng Buding and many more American people like him have been deceived by their country's politicians.
But if you think about it carefully, they fight with us with such prejudice. They dare not surrender and are unwilling to surrender. How many extra casualties will our comrades and our Beihan friends have to pay< /p>
The reason why we treat prisoners preferentially is not because they are superior, not because we are inferior. It is to let the whole world know who is the liar. When those who are at war with us come to their senses, they will naturally be unwilling to fight.
We would rather eat fried noodles and gnaw potatoes by ourselves, but we should also treat the surrendered prisoners as friends, feed them white noodles, meat and even wine, let them know that their previous ideas were wrong, and let them treat our Policies were communicated to their families through newspapers and through letters.
What is this called? This is called disintegrating their will to fight. As our old saying goes, this is called conquering the enemy without fighting. In this way, our own casualties will be much less. "
"This is all your opinion," Wei Ran asked dully.
"Comrade instructor often gives us lessons."
Previous moment Zhao Shengli, who was still full of momentum, now showed the shyness he should have at his age, "I used to be like you. When I saw the American soldiers, I wanted to rush them with a shuttle, but later I felt that what the instructor said made sense. "
"What else did Comrade Instructor say?" Wei Ran couldn't help but ask.
"The Instructor also said that we crossed the Yalu River and fought on the land of our friends, not because Likes to fight.
We are pursuing peace and pulling out the nails that the US imperialism has smashed at our door. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Shengli couldn’t help but clenched his fists, his overly young face was full of determination, and his eyes were full of determination.It seems that there is light, "for the peace of our friends in the Northern Han Dynasty, for our own peace, and for the peace that our descendants will enjoy with their backbones straightened a hundred years later. So this battle must be fought and must be To win
Only if we finish the war, the flames of war will not burn into our own homes. Only if we hurt the enemy, our descendants will no longer have to fight anti-aggression wars. "
"Defend the enemy outside the country's gates"
Wei Ran sighed secretly. Behind these light words, how many ordinary soldiers like Zhao Shengli paid their blood? The price
Before he entered the battlefield on this peninsula, he had read through a lot of information. He was amazed by the cases where less defeated more and weak defeated strong. He was even more surprised by the cases. Why on earth can those volunteer soldiers who seem to be cheating be able to persist in positions such as Shangganling and Changjin Lake.
But it wasn’t until now, until he listened to Zhao Shengli’s simple views, that he truly found the answer. ,Please remember:,Free fastest update No anti-theft No anti-theft
