Chen Dashan growled, "Have you forgotten what I told you? Country R's soldiers are well-trained. Do not expose yourself to the enemy at any time or you will not be far from death! "
Just as he said that, a soldier's head exploded. Blood splattered across Huang Ren's face. Seeing his comrade, who had just been talking to him, die in a blink of an eye, Huang Ren's mind went blank. However, Huang Ren was not someone who was afraid of death. The death of his comrade only made him realize the cruelty of war. It was not a drill or child's play. This was a life-and-death battle!
The following battle did not go as smoothly as he imagined. Although the ambush had killed more than ten Country R soldiers, his side had also suffered many casualties. Finally, they had no choice but to retreat and give up the battle.
Seeing the corpses strewn across the ground, Huang Ren wailed. Many of them were from the same hometown. Back when they joined the army, they were all good men who were unafraid of death. But in the end, who knew that this was the outcome. As for what the political commissar was saying, he could no longer hear it. All he could feel was Chen Dashan patting him on the shoulder.
The scene changed again. Huang Ren was sick. He was curled into a ball on the bed.
Chen Dashan ran about to take care of him. He boiled water, handed him towels, and helped him sweat.
Huang Ren could not help but ask, "Brother Dashan, will I die?"
"No!" Chen Dashan did not even think as he answered resolutely. Then he added, "With me around, you won't die. Stay here in peace. I'm heading out."
"Brother Dashan, where are you going? It's raining … "
However, Chen Dashan had already run out.
That day, Huang Ren did not see Chen Dashan. There was a commotion outside, as though the political commissar had flipped out. Huang Ren vaguely heard that someone had disappeared and that someone had gone to rob something.
The next day, Chen Dashan returned. His face was pale, but he was smiling happily. Huang Ren had a high fever, so his vision was a little blurry. Chen Dashan patted Huang Ren on the chest and said, "Kid, you have a good life. You are tough enough. You won't die."
When Huang Ren woke up, he was indeed relaxed. He ran over and patted Chen Dashan on the shoulder. He shouted excitedly, "Brother Dashan, I'm fine! Ha! I won't die! "
Chen Dashan forced a grin as he frowned. However, the moment he turned around, all that was gone. He was still the same as before, a little old-fashioned. He reprimanded like a big brother, "Don't be willful in the future. Don't run around on rainy days. If you get a fever again, it will be difficult to treat."
"Yes, definitely! By the way, Brother Dashan, how did you cure me? "Huang Ren asked.
"It's just some folk remedies. Alright, that's enough. I'm going out for a walk." With that said, Chen Dashan left.
Not long later, Huang Ren finally learned how Chen Dashan had saved him. Chen Dashan had sneaked down the mountain, entered the city, and risked his life to buy medicine from a pharmacy. However, he was still exposed on the way and was shot twice in the back. If he had not been lucky enough to be dragged back by the political commissar who had gone down the mountain to find him, he would probably have lost his life.
At that moment, Huang Ren cried. He did not know how to express his gratitude. All he could do was say to Chen Dashan, "Brother, thank you."
However, Chen Dashan smiled and said, "You call me Big Brother, so of course I have to protect you. Alright, you are fine, and I'm fine. Isn't that great? "
As he looked at Chen Dashan's smile, Huang Ren secretly swore that he would protect Chen Dashan!
When Red Boy saw this, he frowned slightly and said sourly, "Humans sure are weak."
Fangzheng did not comment.
The scene changed again. Artillery fire filled the sky as the sky darkened. It was unknown how many artillery shells had landed on the front lines. Mud was mixed with blood as it blasted the sky into a blur. Huang Ren and Chen Dashan, who were sprawled in the trenches, felt the ground quake as though the world was about to be destroyed.
However, the two of them continued staring with widened eyes. They hugged the guns in their hands tightly and sat there motionless. They waited for the enemy to charge after the artillery barrage ended!
Clearly, Huang Ren had already matured into a true warrior. He was no longer afraid or flustered. He was extremely composed and his eyes were resolute.
Fangzheng stood in front of Huang Ren and looked up. He saw tanks galloping in the distance as artillery fire filled the sky. The Japanese army was about to attack.
Upon seeing this scene, Red Boy said in astonishment, "These are their enemies? They are using such crappy things to fight them? Are they stupid? "
"They are not stupid because they know what they are doing. They have their own beliefs, even if it means death." Fangzheng put away his usual composure and gentleness. He looked up with a solemn expression. His heavy eyes had a hint of sharpness to them.
Red Boy looked up at Fangzheng and said, "Master, that expression of yours makes you look like a man."
Fangzheng: "…"
Red Boy looked at the battlefield in front of him in thought. "However, I really can't understand what they are doing. They should be running. Why stay if they can't beat them? Are they waiting for death? What's more important than death? "
Fangzheng remained silent. There were certain things that Red Boy could not understand without experiencing it. There was no way to explain it, so it was best to slowly watch.
The battle began, followed by a shout. "Comrades, for the safety of the civilians behind us, let's fight it out! Fight! "
All the soldiers crawled out from their bunkers. Despite knowing that they were no match for the enemy, they still fearlessly let out their voices and fired their bullets!
The suicide squad lined up in a row and charged forward with the explosives. The people in front were basically human shields, blocking the first wave of fire. They fell to the ground and sacrificed themselves, buying more time for the people behind them to attack. One by one, they fell. After six or seven people were sacrificed, someone rolled to the bottom of the tank with the explosives and detonated it. With a boom, the steel behemoth stopped running.
Upon seeing this scene, Red Boy widened his mouth as he cursed. "Lunatics that don't care about their lives …" However, his tiny hands subconsciously clenched into fists. Clearly, he was not calm.
The battlefield was a meat grinder. People were constantly sacrificed, and blood dyed the soil and sky red.
Red Boy cursed softly. "Don't these idiots know how to run?"
"They are protecting their families." Fangzheng turned his head, and Red Boy turned his head as well. The two of them flew higher and higher until they finally saw a large group of civilians rapidly evacuating on the distant ground … And the battlefield in front of them was a great wall of human flesh that blocked the enemy! At the same time, Fangzheng saw that every soldier who sacrificed themselves would have their merit transferred. Some would be transferred far away, likely to their family. Some would be transferred to their comrades. This meant that they no longer had any family …
There were constant roars. "Even if you die, block their eyes and grab their legs! Don't take a step back. Don't let them take a step forward! "
Upon seeing this scene, Red Boy fell silent once again. He lowered his head and asked Fangzheng, "Is it worth it?"
