The gray streamlined Federation fighter roared through the airspace above the small courtyard, tearing through countless rain threads, completing a chic tumbling operation at high altitude, and flying away at high speed, like a gray harrier tearing the clouds west.

Because of the deep penetration into the intertwined zone between the two sides in the southwest theater, the gray Harrier fighter plane went and did not return, and there was no routine confirmation of the results, in fact, all six of your earth-to-ground missiles hit that small courtyard, what else needs to be confirmed?

The vegetable leaves that were being moistened by the raindrops dried up in an instant and then disappeared, the small building overturned and was immediately blown into countless pieces of whistling rubble, and the red brick wall on the periphery was even more shocked by the huge force of the explosion on the soft mud floor, soft as water-soaked biscuit blocks, confirming the terrifying effect of the previous attack, within an area of hundreds of square meters, probably even the underground voles were all dead.

In the dense mountain forest hundreds of meters behind the side of the small courtyard, everyone was prostrate behind the wet green hill, staring at the burning ruins of the small courtyard with round eyes, feeling the scorching air flow that was still burning so far away, and their complexions couldn't help but change drastically, and they were collectively silent for a long time.

I don't know who broke the suffocating atmosphere at this time, and muttered: "It's really ruthless to mix two graphite fiber bundles and burn." ”

On the stretcher behind the crowd, Dongfang Yu pressed the muddy soil with his right hand, barely supported his body, his eyes became a little hollow, but he still scolded in a low voice: "Don't believe that imperial person, this must be a mistake, yes, it must be a mistake." ”

Except for Paul exchanging a mocking smile with the other Imperial captive, the Federation soldiers who were still in a strong shock in their hearts did not pay attention to Dongfang Yu, and no one was in the mood to argue with him about anything, facts speak louder than words, cold facts speak louder than any trust.

Xu Le took off the leaf that was attached to his face, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he found that the equipment in the marching backpack did not respond, which meant that the contact with the extraatmospheric spacecraft was cut off again.

Xiong Linquan silently looked at the flames that were still sticking out their tongues in the heavy rain, and said to Zhu'er who was lying beside him: "Look at the signal strength, after the continuous time exceeds the predetermined caution, reconnect with the previous communication channel, tell the base that we have been attacked by a federal gray harrier fighter, and ask what happened to the competition." ”

Zhu'er looked at him in surprise, and found that Xiong Linquan was not talking angrily, and subconsciously looked at Xu Le, and found that the head had been silent, and couldn't help but rub his curly hair vigorously in annoyance, and began to find ← signal channel through the filter device according to his instructions.

Xiong Qiaquan congratulated the team members with an expressionless face, and at the same time explained to Xu Le: "That is our own army, and we must make the final confirmation." ”

"It's all over ● but one one one"

Zhu'er took off the Houyuan earphones, with a hint of grief and indignation, looked at Xiong Linquan and Xu Le, and said, "There is no response, and the frequency band of the base has entered a state of silence." ”

Should be responsible for answering or rescuing their own base communications, at this time into a strange state of silence, the people behind the mountains and forests know what it means

As if infected by the silence in the communication system, the people lying on the ground in the rain also fell into a dead silence, and Dongfang Yu finally slowly closed his mouth.

Xu Le squinted his eyes, looked at the movement in the fields in the rain, got up from the wetland, took three deep breaths, frowned tightly in one place, and muttered, "I'm ticking you and him." ”

Monkey, a former member of the seventh group, has been in charge of the surveillance post in the tree house, and he finally left the small courtyard, and was shocked by the fighter plane, he kept an eye on Xu Le, and after hearing the reply, he explained in a low voice to the soldier next to him: "The leader usually doesn't like to swear much, but sometimes he can't help it, so I like to engage in this kind of automatic silence, which means: **you**."

The soldier, who had just joined the NTR for half a year, was stunned and said, "This is really dirty."

"So you have to silence it? Anyway, our old seven groups also used to have this habit, and no one used it for the past two years, but isn't the head back now? It is estimated that you have to pick it up again, I see that you are usually quite honest and responsible, and you must pay attention to learning in this area in the future, so as not to fall behind." ”

The members of the seventh group, nicknamed Monkey, are called Jin Ruse, from Linhai Prefecture, and his parents are powerful people in the university town, and his family history is elegant, but he has been mixed with the seven groups on the front line for many years, and he has already become a rude man full of tricks and dirty words.

Like today, the seven groups of veterans like Zhu'er Mountain Artillery, although they are angry and sad that the federal military not only gave up on themselves, but also murdered themselves, but they are not nervous, let alone despair, the tradition of the seven groups has always been to allow anger and not to despair, not to mention that now they have returned to their heads, no matter how stormy the road ahead is, they dare to break through!

Just as Ruse was translating his boss's swear words to the latecomer, Xiong Linquan stood up with a heavy gun and said in a deep voice: "Cut off all correspondence and take off your friend or foe identifier." ”

Everyone did not hesitate to take off the metal buckle in the belt, and simply destroyed it to the extreme, the Dongfang Jade Silent Piece 3.1 on the stretcher, trembling hands felt out the identifier in the stretcher compartment, and threw it out.

A stiff military boot crushes a piece of metal that represents the status of a federal soldier.

Xiong Linquan slowly closed

Four right feet, let the rain hit his expressionless cheeks, looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice:

"From now on, we will be a real lone army. ”

"We will have no base, no rear, fighting alone in a foreign land, and all of them will be

Our enemies, we no longer have any tasks, the only task is to survive. ”

"We've got to live, we're going to get back to base alive, no, we're going to get back to the Federation alive, we're going to get this bullshit out of the assholes, we're going to get the big guys who ordered the warplanes to bomb us, and we're going to rip off their eggs by the way, that's my order. ”

The soldiers in the rain stood straight, whether they were members of the first seven groups or veterans of the NTR, their faces were expressionless, silent and resolute, without any bloody oath, but full of strong will, even Paul and the other imperial prisoners could feel a certain heat in the wind and rain.

Xu Le leaned on a green tree, looking at the burly figure of Xiong Linzhu in the rain, he couldn't help but show a smile of emotion, the reckless and aggressive subordinate has now grown into an excellent commander, but he had to interrupt the opponent's extremely beautiful combat mobilization, and said:

"The Federation's follow-up response is not so fast, and the second wave of attacks should not come soon, but I think the previous explosion was not small, and there should be Imperial troops coming to see it, so hurry up and go 0 bar.

Xiong Linquan looked back at him, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Boss, where are we going?"

Finally hearing the long-lost title from his mouth, Xu Le lost his mind for a moment, scratched his wet hair with a smile, and replied softly: "If you are not afraid of being sold by us, then I suggest that you go to the place with the most people in the empire first."

The warriors in the rain laughed.

In the evening, the lone army, consisting of six lightly wounded, one seriously wounded on a stretcher, five healthy Union soldiers, two Imperial prisoners, and a certain Umbrella Empire prince, quietly arrived at an abandoned graphite mine under the cover of dim twilight and rain.

Xu Le was very familiar with this abandoned mine pit, and was very good at using this landform for migration, so after a brief discussion, the team chose this place as a temporary camp for the night.

An observation post was arranged in the valley behind the side, and Xu Le carried the modified gun and vigilantly patrolled for a week, making sure that the camp was temporarily safe, and then relaxed a little, returned to the dark tunnel, and finally had a chance to talk to Paul.

The joy of reunion after a long absence and Paul's confusion about his identity did not need to be described too much, and Xu Le did not tell him the bad news that Aunt Susan was seriously ill, but only smiled and comforted the young man that he would definitely let him leave this devouring horror planet alive.

Paul was captive for two months, his body was a little weak, and he gradually fell asleep in the excitement, nervousness and confusion, Xu Le quietly looked at his still young face, pulled the zipper of his sleep for him, and walked out.

It had rained for a whole day, and the clouds in the sky were still as thick as lead clouds, and I don't know how many electronic turbulence rolled and struggled between those clouds, and the bright full moon on the horizon only came out for a very short time, and it was swallowed up in an instant, and the pit fell into darkness.

In the dark, Xiong Linquan touched it, took out a cigarette and tore it in half, half of it was handed to Xu Le, half of it was stuffed into his mouth, mixed with saliva and began to chew it raw.

"I'm not as addicted to smoking as I used to be, probably because I haven't been on the battlefield for a long time. Xu Le gently rubbed the tobacco with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Lao Bai has successfully quit smoking."

"His child should be almost three years old, and I heard that he is a girl. Xiong Linquan said.

"The girl is good, as delicate as him, she will definitely be popular when she grows up. Xu Le paused slightly

Suddenly, he asked, "How many of us are left?"

Xiong Linquan was silent for a long time and replied, "Thirty-seven." ”

Xu Le looked at the occasional cannon fire under the night dome in the distance, frowned and said, "Back then, there were a total of one hundred and thirty-seven of us, and now there is only a fraction left?"

"I'm talking about people who are still in the army, chief, you...... After running, some guys chose to retire from the army, Liu Jiao retired two years ago, and now he drives a taxi in the capital, with a good income, but he heard him say that when it is rainy, he will always have abdominal cramps and the steering wheel is unstable. ”

"Do you remember the opening in his stomach back then? He always complained in his letters that it was the sequelae left by that injury, and I couldn't figure it out, and there were no joints in his stomach, could he still have rheumatism joints and stomachs?**. ”

Xiong Linquan scolded with a smile, and spit out the tobacco saliva in his mouth. Xu Le squinted his eyes and sighed: "It's good to be discharged from the army, at least I'm still alive." ”

Xiong Linquan only said that some people were discharged from the army, but he refused to say how many people were discharged, and he understood what it meant - many of those guys in the seventh group back then left forever because of this war.

He stuffed the tobacco into his mouth and chewed slowly, feeling more and more bitter and numb.
