Belgrade is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years.

Belgrade is located in the core of the Balkan Peninsula, located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, north of the middle Danube plain, that is, the Vojvodina plain, south of the extension of the Old Mountain Mountains, the extension of the Šumadia hills, the Danube River and the Balkan Peninsula water and land transportation artery, is an important contact point between Europe and the Near East, has very important strategic significance, known as the key to the Balkans.

When flying over this ancient city, Li Yi's eyes looked through the window of the plane.

The ancient city was battered and devastated by war, and smoke billowed from the streets of several cities, apparently fresh from the shelling.

Of course, Li Yi didn't see Guo Xiaoling that he was looking for.

The estuary of the Sava River, which flows into the Danube, is clear and picturesque, with a panoramic view.

The Sava River is clear and the Danube is slightly yellowish, and the colors of the two rivers are clearly distinguished, like a natural landscape sketched by a master artist in different colors.

Qian Duo sat beside Li Yi and said, "Yi Shao, this city is very beautiful, but it's a pity that there is a war, otherwise it is really a very haode tourist holy place." ”

Li Yi hummed absentmindedly, and his eyes continued to search in a jungle of reinforced concrete, wanting to find a miracle below.

However, until the plane landed, Li Yi also found nothing.

The relevant local military and political leaders received guests from the Far East ().

Li Yi did not participate in the reception banquet and did not go to the embassy in Yugoslavia.

The military arrangements are to be made by the military leaders, and these have been studied and decided when they are in China, and after coming here, they only need to be deployed step by step.

This day is May 6, which in the Chinese calendar, it happens to belong to the solar term of Lixia.

Li Yi took Qian Duo with him, and two other "military jishu support personnel" who were ordered to protect his safety, and the four of them sat in a car. Drive to the city of Belgrade.

The driver was a Yugoslav soldier, heavily armed and with a grim expression. *

Buildings are set off in the greenery. In the square in the center of the city, the majestic National Theatre and the Rijksmuseum stand tall. To the south of the square are two minarets, one an Orthodox church and the other a mosque, reflecting the religious character of Belgrade.

On the southern outskirts of the city, Mount Avala is lush and beautiful, with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier high on top of the mountain. On the tomb stand eight tall gray stone statues dressed in national costumes, standing opposite each other and majestic, symbolizing the indomitable spirit of the Yugoslav nation.

Li Yi sat in the passenger seat and communicated with the driver in English.

When the driver learned that Li Yi and the others wanted to find a Chinese reporter, he promised to help with all his might.

Li Yi and others first found the local news department, and they came forward to contact reporters from various countries in Yugoslavia to inquire about Guo Xiaoling's whereabouts. Then head out into the streets and look for yourself.

NATO, led by the United States, relies on its strong military strength. Without the authorization of the United Nations, a sovereign country has been wantonly and indiscriminately bombed for more than 70 days, and its bombing targets have escalated step by step. Not only from military objectives to non-military objectives.

Thirteen of the 19 NATO countries (the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, Turkey, Portugal, Spain, and Denmark) directly participated in the air strikes against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, committing 1,200 aircraft, sorties of more than 32,000 sorties, and blowing up 12 railways, more than 50 bridges, five civilian airports, and a large amount of infrastructure, resulting in the displacement of more than 800,000 refugees and the devastation of the former beautiful Yugoslavia.

On average, NATO sorties nearly 500 sorties a day to bomb it!

Although Li Yi has lived two lives, watched countless war movies, and listened to his grandfather talk about war, he still stood on a real modern battlefield for the first time. Feel the bombers hovering overhead, listen to the bombs explode in real streets and houses, and see big living people being crushed to pieces by bullets and bleeding all over the ground.

Before Li Yi and the others arrived, this beautiful city had just been bombed by a round of planes. Walking down the street, you can see displaced people everywhere. Weeping women, howling children, and wounded people dragging their crippled arms and thighs and struggling in the blood.

Qian Duo had been on a mission and had seen a real war, so he was not very shocked by this kind of scene, but he saw that Yi Shao, who had always been calm and resolute, was already in tears at this moment.

War, war, this is human suffering, but also human sorrow.

"What about these injured people?" Li Yi asked.

The driver replied, "There will be medical personnel to come to the rescue." ”

Li Yi said: "Why haven't anyone come to help me for so long?" ”

The driver said calmly: "The hospitals are full, the medicine is limited, and the most important thing is that there is a shortage of medical personnel and they can't take care of it." Both the International Committee of the Red Cross and your country have sent a large number of medical personnel. ”

Li Yi asked, "What about these injured people?" ”

The driver was silent for a while, and then said, "Wait." ”

Li Yi sighed softly, and the eyes that had just been wiped were filled with tears again.

The situation here is much more severe than Li Yi imagined!

"Let's get out of the car, and you use the car to help treat the wounded. We help to lift people. Li Yi said.

The driver hesitated, "I am ordered to protect you." That's what I'm responsible for. ”

Li Yi said firmly: "I finally understand now, she must come here." I can also imagine that she must be somewhere now, helping people in need. What she can do, I can do. Let's go and treat the wounded first. ”

The driver didn't say much, stopped the car, five people got out of the car, walked to the injured people, Li Yi took off his coat, wrapped it in the wound of a man whose right leg was blown off, bandaged it briefly, picked him up and put him in the car.

That person had already fainted in pain, Li Yi moved, he opened his weak eyes, and when he saw Li Yi saving him, he stretched out his right hand, grabbed Li Yi's arm tightly, and said something in a weak voice. Li Yi didn't understand the local language, so he just reassured him: "Don't be afraid, we'll send you to the hospital immediately." ”

Qian Duo and others all carried the wounded to the car, the car was only so big, it was very reluctant to put three wounded, and the driver hurriedly drove people to the hospital.

Qian Duo said: "Yi Shao, it is very dangerous here, and enemy planes can come to bomb at any time." Let's get out of here! ”

Li Yi said: "No, if you are afraid, go back first." I kept looking. ”

Qian Duodao: "Yi Shao, what are you talking about!" Even if I get blown up, I'm going to keep you safe! ”

Li Yi patted him on the shoulder and walked forward.

After walking for about 20 minutes, there was a hospital in front of it, and the door was full of people, and many injured people were carried by relatives (). The hospital was apparently overcrowded, and several nurses were outside in a row, telling the wounded to lie on the ground and bandaging them on the spot.

Suddenly, Li Yi saw a familiar figure swaying in front of his eyes.

Li Yi's body couldn't help but shake slightly, and he strode over.

Qian Duo shouted: "Yi Shao! "And two other soldiers hurried to follow.

Li Yi ran behind the familiar figure. With a camera around her neck and a hat, she is helping medical staff treat wounds.

Li Yi suppressed his excitement, reached out and patted her on the back gently.

She was concentrating on her work, and she was bumped into by someone since then, and she didn't care.

Li Yi patted her back again, feeling his arms trembling slightly.

She turned her head and looked at Li Yi.

This is a strange oriental woman's face, although it is equally beautiful, but it is definitely not Guo Xiaoling's face.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Li Yi lowered his arm in disappointment, almost choked up.

When she saw that it was an Oriental covered in blood, she said in surprise: "Are you Chinese?" ”

Li Yi said: "You are also Chinese? Journalists? ”

"I'm a reporter for Xinhua News Agency." She nodded and said, "Are you hurt?" ”

Li Yi shook his head: "I just helped carry the blood stained by the wounded." ”

"Who are you? How did you get here? She asked.

"I'm looking for someone (). She's a journalist just like you. Li Yi thought to himself, reporters often rush to the news center, maybe she has met Guo Xiaoling!

"Oh? Is it from our newspaper? She said, "What's your name, I can help you." ”

Li Yi took out a photo from his pocket, handed it to her, and said, "Her name is Guo Xiaoling, not from your newspaper." He did not say that Guo Xiaoling was working for a New York newspaper, for fear that the reporters would be too patriotic.

"Oh! You're looking for Guo Xiaoling! She looked at the photo and smiled.

Li Yi asked nervously, "Do you know her?" Have you seen her? ”

"Yes. We interviewed together yesterday! "She's working for a New York Times now, right?" she said. ”

Li Yi said: "It seems to be." You wouldn't have a problem with that, would you? ”

She smiled lightly: "It's nothing, the purpose of us journalists is the same, which is to truly repay this war, let more people on Shijie realize the horror of war, and let everyone cherish and love peace." Guo Xiaoling's ability to enter that Times shows that she is very capable. She can show the real report of the war here to the people of the United States, which is of greater significance than working in China. ”

Her smile is so bright! In this ruined war-torn capital, it is like a ray of sunshine through the smoke, illuminating people's hearts.

"Comrade, do you know where Guo Xiaoling is now?" Li Yi asked anxiously.

"She's your girlfriend, right? Look at you in such a hurry! You came to her on purpose, right? She asked.

"I'm here for her." Li Yi said: "Where is she now?" ”

"I'll take you to her!" She smiled, "You're not familiar with this place either!" ”rq
