Chapter 778: This is War

Since the enemy plane that struggled to fly finally fell to the ground, even if the pilot took the initiative to make a forced landing, then it could be regarded as being shot down by a strafing fire from PKM?

"Mr. Pilot, Your Excellency! Didn't say it, you're just amazing! ”

Seeing the trace of the enemy plane disappearing into the sky, leaving only a faint black smoke in the air, Basel felt that today was really an eye-opener, and the PKM, which could only be used to strafe infantry and harass helicopters at most, had become an air defense weapon for attacking aircraft in the hands of this violent pilot - of course, as a semi-professional soldier, the lieutenant knew very well that there was a lot of luck involved, and he himself risked his life to drive to attract the enemy; But in any case, "luck is always on the side of the winner", and today in the face of the ferocious attack aircraft of the FIAF, they can take out one of them, which is already a big victory.

Seeing that the enemy plane had retreated, the lieutenant came to Long Yun with a look of admiration, patted the pilot on the shoulder, and after a few words of praise, his expression changed and he yelled to give orders to the escorts:

"Why are you still stunned, catch that bastard who flew the plane! - Yes, whether he lives or dies, of course it is better if he is still alive, I will bury this scum alive on the spot in front of the whole village! ”

"Alive, buried alive ......?"

Long Yun, who had just finished a tense and fierce anti-trend air defense battle, only felt very tired after recovering from the excitement, and his shoulder was also hurt by the hot top of PKM's gun butt; He had just leaned his machine gun against the base of the adobe wall to catch his breath, when he was surprised to hear Basel's furious and savage order for revenge.

Hearing the pilot's hesitant questioning, Basel nodded heavily at him:

"Yes! - Hey. Tahir: Did they find it? Immediately organize manpower to rescue the wounded!

Seidl. You take a couple of people and drive a car to catch that scumbag; You, go find two shovels, dig a pit here with me, I will give that guy a taste of the yellow sand, let him repent to Allah and beg for mercy, and then turn this place into a mortuary for the Liberal bastards! ”

"Understood, Mr. Basel!"

Hearing the lieutenant's brutal order, the young man with the AK-12 on his back and the blood stains on his face stood up and saluted, then turned and ran away quickly. The others rushed to the liberation truck to the side to catch the FIAF pilot, leaving only Lieutenant Hu Hu with his hands crossed and Long Yun in a daze.

Seeing that an aerial catastrophe had passed, and now that he had heard the terrible order to "be buried alive on the spot", Long Yun seemed to have suddenly departed from a completely violent combat state, and it was only at this moment that he returned to his usual mode of thinking.

Thinking back to reality at once, looking at it, the sight was still the smoke of the village houses, the bloodstained and mutilated corpses, the smell of gunpowder smoke and burning wood and grass still lingered in the nostrils, and he realized that he had just experienced a real battle, or rather, he and Lieutenant Basel looked at each other for a moment. I wanted to say something, but I just licked my dry lips, and then slowly turned my head to continue to look at the village that had survived the catastrophe. and blackened trucks on the road in the distance where the flames have not yet burned out.

Gently move your hands, your whole arm is still sore, is this what war feels like......

Just now, it seemed that he repelled the enemy's attack with a PKM machine gun with not outstanding firepower, Long Yun subconsciously shook his head and took a big breath of dry air mixed with the smell of smoke and dust, he knew that the retreat of the Liberal fighters had nothing to do with him.

These "Jaguars" who went north to attack the convoy should have run out of ammunition and fuel left, and even if he and the people on the ground did nothing, the enemy would quickly return and leave; But even so, it is still necessary to fight back in the face of the unbridled dive strafing of enemy aircraft, otherwise it is not known what kind of damage will be inflicted on the convoy and the village just a little time before the enemy aircraft are ready to retreat.

After experiencing the fierce air raid of the enemy plane, it felt like a trip in front of the ghost gate, even Long Yun, who had several experience in fierce battles, felt a little afraid, he saw Lieutenant Basel and the young man who came running with tools walking away, so he slowly came to the side of the "Warrior" off-road vehicle, turned out a bottle of drinking water and poured a few sips, only to feel a little more comfortable.

In the battle just now, he was lucky not to be injured and was able to fly the fighter, but the civilians around him and the escorts who were unfortunately killed ...... When he turned his head casually while drinking water, he saw a stump hanging in the corner of the collapsed house, Long Yun was very strange that he did not feel disgusted, but he was a little angry; Are these Iraqi Liberals really fighting for their purpose, or have they degenerated into killing for the sake of killing?

But even if their actions have turned the small village into a living hell, Lieutenant Basel said that they would "bury that scum alive", did they really want to do that.

Standing in the village after the battle, or in the ruins, Long Yun had basically adapted to the chaotic scene in front of him at this time, he walked through a messy dirt road with gravel and dust, and soon found Basel who was working hard with a shovel, seeing that he and the young man had dug the pit half a person deep, he hesitated for a few seconds, but still took advantage of the lieutenant to put down his tools and drink water, and asked:

"Well, lieutenant, are you really going to bury the pilot alive?"

"Hey, I really want to bury this damn Liberals alive!"

Hearing Long Yun's question, the lieutenant turned his head to look at the pit hatefully, and he instructed the young man to dig the pit deeper, and then groped for a cigarette roll from his coat pocket and put it in his mouth. While rummaging for the lighter, Basel took a few steps to the side, and Long Yun, who was observant, also raised his heels, in fact, he had already snooped through guò consciousness to get the answer.

"But, no; Anyway, you have to exchange these people for prisoners, don't you? I'm just going to scare these scumbags,--hey, sir, you know what idiots these Liberals guys are, I'm going to drive him into a pit that's not deep enough for a man, and I'm going to fill it with dirt, and they're all scared to the point! ”

"Uh, that ......"

Imagine the situation at that time, Long Yun felt that these Liberals were probably a little frightened, so he was very idiotic, and he was sure that Lieutenant Basel was just talking angry or pretending, and would not really do anything that violated the Geneva Conventions, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, in the face of the destructive power of war, it is sometimes too difficult to maintain a minimum of humanity.

He came from an ancient country that had been invaded, and now he had experienced the terrible scenes of war, and he had just asked the "Jaguar" pilot how to deal with it, Long Yun's mood at this time seemed to be heavy, but in fact it was very contradictory and difficult to extricate himself.

Looking back on his past life experience, whether in museums or movies and television, seeing the cruel acts of the invaders or abusers, Long Yun's blood would boil for a while, and the terrible thoughts of grabbing the enemy's knife and slashing and burning, skinning and cramping would linger in his mind; However, thinking of the tragic wars in history, and how many initiators could really be brought to justice and justly tried and adjudicated, bad materials such as "Records of the Life of Japanese Prisoners of War" once again stimulated his nerves.

In the face of a ferocious beast, should we kill or forgive?

He was never able to answer this question.

Because he really doesn't know which of these two methods is more correct, which one is more worthy of the countless innocent beings who have died, and which one is the most in line with the most essential thinking and choice of human beings.

But no matter what, whether it is killing or forgiving, the dead cannot live again; The battlefield is devastated everywhere, and it is impossible to restore the peace and tranquility of the past.

Coming from the east thousands of miles away, as soon as he stepped on the land of the Middle East, he encountered a battle, and he didn't feel anything when he really joined the battle, but now that he was really quiet, Long Yun felt that everything around him was so incongruous, as if he was an outsider who suddenly crossed over to the battlefield.

Thoughts filled his mind, and he left the excavation site with the lieutenant in a groggy state, and sat down by a remnant of adobe wall, drinking water while looking at the endless clear sky where the sun was beginning to set in the west.

Compared with the aerial battles in the parallel world, this civil war in the real world gave Long Yun great psychological stimulation, and he couldn't help but recall every detail of this battle now, the black pressure on the enemy planes he saw, the helpless civilians running around, the trucks that were hit by the bombs and shattered, and the revenge bullets that went out with a scream.

The choking smoke of gunpowder is wrapped in a trace of blood, is this the smell of war......

"Mr. Pilot, you seem to be worried about something, aren't you?"

"Maybe...... No, I can't say it. ”

Hearing the question of Basel, who was squatting beside him, Long Yun replied in a lazy whisper, he suddenly felt that he was so unfamiliar with this land, or that he had not yet figured out the true face of the war; With a little hesitation, he slowly asked a seemingly meaningless question:

"Lieutenant, has this civil war always been fought like this?"

"Civil war ......?"

Hearing such a brainless sentence from Mr. Pilot beside him, Basel didn't quite understand what he meant at first, but the invisible and invisible consciousness penetration made the lieutenant immediately "feel" Long Yun's state of mind, so he also sighed.

Raising his hand to press the lighter, the cigarette on his mouth lit, and the lieutenant did not speak for a long time, just staring at the large expanse of the sky above him with a pair of light green eyes.

"yes, I guess so.

Although I am a little tired, I must devote myself to it and do whatever it takes to achieve the goal I desire; It may be a little uncomfortable at first, but slowly it doesn't matter.

There is nothing to say, this, this is war. ”
