"What's wrong?" Murray's heart was pounding.
"He's lost too much blood. There's nothing we can do." One of the attending doctors shook his head regretfully.
At the same time, Mike rushed over with the help of a few nurses. His shoulder was bandaged with heavy gauze. But even so, his face was still very pale.
Mike, who had lost an arm, wanted to recover his strength. It would be difficult to achieve without a year and a half.
"Damn it!" Hearing that, Mike punched the wall.
In the operating room, the American soldier who failed to save the patient was none other than Wales! Colonel Mike's adjutant and brother!
During the siege of the base headquarters, Wales's right leg was blown off. Although emergency bleeding control and bandaging were done, after being sent to the hospital, he still missed the golden treatment time and died on the operating table …
Xiao Zheng held down Mike, who was losing control of his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "Mike, calm down!
"There are bound to be sacrifices in war! But this time, we won! "
"Do you think Wales will regret it? He won't!
"If he was given a chance to start over, he would still join the anti-strike team without hesitation!"
Xiao Zheng's words of consolation caused the doctors and nurses present to be in awe.
Was this a soldier?
This was the soldier who helped them eliminate the terrorists?
A few nurses shed tears of emotion. They choked out.
After a whole day of treatment. Most of the wounded who were sent to this hospital were successfully out of danger. But three soldiers, including Wales, still did not make it. They died on the operating table.
For a moment, the entire hospital was shrouded in a thick haze. It was suffocating.
In the ward.
Xiao Zheng accompanied Mike, who was losing control of his emotions. He lit a cigarette and comforted him, "Don't let your thoughts run wild. It's all over. The most important thing for us now is to bring the soldiers home alive. "
Mike's face was extremely gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "I caused their deaths! I caused Wales's death! "
Hearing that, a hint of bitterness appeared on Xiao Zheng's face. There were no words.
"If I had made up my mind from the beginning, they wouldn't have been injured, and they wouldn't have died!" Colonel Mike said with a trembling voice, "It's all my fault!"
His arm was also blown off by the boy scouts.
But that wasn't why he was angry!
The death toll of the American army was nearly 150, twice that of the Hua Xia army. As Mike had said, if he had been more ruthless and not bound by morality, the death toll would have been limited to less than a hundred.
That was why Mike was so angry!
Xiao Zheng did not speak. Or rather, he didn't know how to persuade Mike.
All the troops faced the same problem, including Hua Xia's army.
They knew very well that once they decided not to kill the boy scouts, they were destined to cause even greater casualties. However, all the leaders and anti-terrorists had reached a tacit agreement in silence.
Because they were warriors!
Not an executioner!
How would they extend the scythe of death to the boy scouts?
If it weren't for the fact that the heinous boy scouts had attacked the anti-terrorists at the last moment, Chen Xiaobei would have been killed. Neither the Hua Xia army nor the US military would make things difficult for this group of brainwashed child soldiers.
Xiao Zheng finished a cigarette and knew that Mike needed time to digest it. So he didn't disturb him anymore. Under the cover of the night, he returned to the base.
The cremation was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.
That was because each unit needed a detailed list of the dead. The workload of cremating five hundred people was indeed not small. Therefore, General Hill asked Xiao Zheng to return to the base in advance. He personally supervised this part.
"How is it?"
As soon as Xiao Zheng entered the base, he was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. Most of them were from Hua Xia's army. Bai En also led a group of Russian soldiers toward him.
"Three of our brothers couldn't be saved," Xiao Zheng said with a serious expression. "The other soldiers are out of danger."
This was good news for the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time. But no one was happy.
Because in the hospital, on the second battlefield, another three soldiers had sacrificed their lives …
The soldiers were all silent. However, Bai En shouted, "Don't look so sad! This is not bad news! "
After saying that, he strode back to the dormitory. He didn't ask in detail which unit the three soldiers had sacrificed their lives.
For the current soldiers, no matter which country they came from, they were comrades who would live and die with them. There was no such thing as national boundaries.
This was the battlefield, and this was what soldiers were like.
After returning to the dormitory, Jiang Qing reported to Xiao Zheng, "The soldiers had dinner and went back to rest. But when I was patrolling, I saw some soldiers crying — "
"It's normal." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and pursed his lips. "As long as they can control their emotions, it's not a big problem."
After a pause, Xiao Zheng continued, "But when we return to the country, we must arrange for a psychologist to give each soldier psychological counseling. If it's left behind, it will cause permanent damage in the future. "
"Yes, I know." Jiang Qing nodded. Seeing that Xiao Zheng was smoking again, she didn't ask further. Instead, she reached out to him and asked for one.
Xiao Zheng didn't refuse. He handed her a cigarette and lit it for her.
This time, Jiang Qing didn't cough, but she still didn't know how to smoke. She just let the smoke swirl in her mouth before she exhaled it.
"How is it?" Xiao Zheng took a deep puff and asked calmly.
"Hmm?" Jiang Qing looked up. A strange expression flashed across her beautiful face.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I'm fine." Jiang Qing shook her head.
Fine?
How could she be fine?
Dozens of soldiers were sacrificed in one night. Many soldiers were still lying in the hospital. No matter how strong Jiang Qing's mind was, she couldn't be completely fine.
Xiao Zheng exhaled a thick puff of smoke. "Rest early if there's nothing else. We still have to send our brothers on their last journey tomorrow morning. "After a pause, Xiao Zheng continued. "Just bring a few people from each team. If there are too many people, it's easy for something to go wrong. "
"Yes. I know. "Jiang Qing nodded.
After two puffs, she put out the cigarette.
She realized that her current mood couldn't be alleviated by cigarettes.
"Good night." Xiao Zheng also put out the cigarette. She got up and prepared to go out.
"Xiao Zheng," Jiang Qing suddenly shouted.
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng turned around and looked at Jiang Qing curiously.
"If you had to do it all over again, what would you choose?" Jiang Qing asked with a complicated expression.
Xiao Zheng heard that and smiled bitterly.
This question might be bothering everyone. Including Xiao Zheng.
As for the answer — Mike gave the answer in the hospital. But if he really had to choose again?
"It's all in the past." Xiao Zheng tried to relax and said with a heavy heart. "Good night."
Click.
The moment Xiao Zheng closed the door, tears fell from Jiang Qing's eyes.
Xiao Zheng didn't have an answer.
She didn't either.
Maybe someone would give an answer like Mike.
However, weren't some things easier said than done?
