Chapter 157: The Green Smoke of Parting
There was a lot of dirt on the rough fingers, but they became a little wet after rubbing their eyes. Xu Le's lungs ached faintly, I don't know if it was an imperial bullet, but it was broken without penetrating the hard-pottery body armor
own ribs. He didn't know if the wetness on his fingers was a few tears in pain, or if it was because of something nearby.
The shriveled cigarette between his chapped lips swayed gently in the night wind, and he silently looked at the trembling and artillery fire between heaven and earth, and asked silently, "You should calculate a large amount of data on the command ship at this time."
, make suggestions, control the overall situation, but come to chat with me, a lonely ghost, will there be any problems?"
"I'm everywhere, and I'm all over the place, and I'm going to stop by your side to save your life, am you grateful?" the federal central computer answered the question in the first half of the sentence mechanically, and the second half of the sentence boringly.
Xu Le took off the burning cigarette - this casual action stuck a piece of his lips, his brows furrowed in pain, and he said in annoyance: "Die." ā
The silver light between the mountains and rocks was beautiful, and the night breeze was slightly cool, and he sat alone among the rocks, watching this magnificent war like an audience, and it was difficult to give birth to the pride in his heart that had caused all this.
On the contrary, he felt a little lonely, but fortunately there was a boring but gradually interesting program chatting with him.
A slight smile of self-deprecation came to his face, and he sighed in his heart: "If you can't find me today, I'll die, I've always been curious, you should be in the Charter Bureau Building."
Deep underground, even if the information passes through the miniature torsion hole and makes contact at great speed, it will take two or three minutes, how can you be so fast?"
"I am incarnated and I am not afraid of time. "The old thing replied philosophically with a light rune," and everywhere I could, I felt like I was full of myself returning to this planet again
Full of power. ā
Xu Le had long been accustomed to the increasingly expressions of this supposed cold central computer, and he had never been too lazy to worry about his unexplainable state, so there was no fear or confusion
On the contrary, I easily understood this answer.
After a moment of silence, he said mockingly: "Thousands of incarnations, isn't it schizophrenic?
......
......
Fierce battles took over every inch of the planet's east, and every second soldiers fell to their deaths, reduced to unconscious flesh or ashes. The battle situation is too tragic, Xu Le is here
He hid alone among the Alum Rock Peaks until noon the next day, when the Federation military finally pulled out a combat helicopter and picked him up from the mountain.
The huge roar of the helicopter masked the pilot's loud inquiry, and the pale Xu Le half-leaned in the cabin full of the smell of engine oil, looking at the mountains and grasslands below.
The farther you go to the Federation base in the west, the more teams are gathered on the ground, and from the sky, countless torrents of steel occupy all the space in the field of vision, slowly but surely heading towards it
The area controlled by the Imperials was crushed over, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The helicopter stopped about a dozen kilometers away from the diamond-shaped base, and immediately took off again to join the tense battle, while on the airstrip, there were already military vehicles waiting for Xu Le.
The violently shaking military vehicles drove along the fast-setting cement military road towards the base.
Along the way, Xu Le saw that there were many small troops, just like himself, who were converging towards the base against the torrent of the large army's march.
These small units are like seven groups, a special team that performs net-laying work on the planet, looking at those comrades with dark and haggard faces, Xu Le quickly recognized that this included Lian
Most of the battle teams of the three major security companies in the state, the combat experts of Whitewater, Black Hawk, and Blue Bird, seem to have converged on this planet.
Although these net-laying groups withdrew earlier than the seventh, they still paid heavy casualties in the final frenzied scattered attacks of the Imperials.
To his surprise, there were also many ragged warriors in these combat teams on dangerous missions, who had obviously ventured to work in the Empire's controlled areas for a long time, but still maintained their high spirits, but their guns and equipment were obviously a little backward.
His eyes narrowed as his eyes fell on the markings of the soldiers' shabby uniforms and the somewhat poignant formation of wounded, his eyes narrowed, and his right hand gripped the handle of the military vehicle.
The Qinglongshan anti-government army has finally arrived.
The military roads were full of troops of the second wave of the general attack of the federal army, and the federal soldiers on the armored vehicles and mecha looked at these mud legs of Qinglong Mountain with complicated expressions.
They knew very well that although these teams with heavy casualties in front of them were retreating towards the base, they were definitely not deserters, on the contrary, they were all respectable warriors, but just a few years ago, both sides returned
It is an enemy who swears to stand on both sides, but today he has become a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, and many people in the government and army have difficulty adapting to this change for a while.
I don't know where a shout came from, and the officers and soldiers of the main force slowly raised their right hands and marched to the mercenaries of the three major security companies and the anti-government government troops in Qinglong Mountain
At the same time, he cast a look of trust and gratitude.
The military vehicle drove quickly to the front of the barracks with smoke and dust, Xu Le pulled the 2126 long sniper, limped down from the military vehicle with difficulty, smiled and said a few words to the soldier driving, and patted the other party's shoulder
Upper arm.
One of the members of the seventh group, who was the first to retreat in the early hours of yesterday morning, had been guarding outside the barracks all night, and saw it at this time.
Xu Le stepped down from the military vehicle, with a line of shock and ecstasy on his face, screamed, and rushed into the barracks.
"The boss is back!"
"Really"
There was a burst of exclamations and footsteps in the barracks of the seventh group, and dozens of team members rushed out of the barracks at the same time, except for the seriously injured team members who were being treated, they all rushed out to welcome Xu Le's return
, even Da Vinci, who was hit hard in the leg, actually jumped out with a cane.
Xu Le grinned, looked at the team members in front of him, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything after all, walked forward silently, handed the spear to Magnolia, and then from Lan Xiao
Long took a whole box of cigarettes in his hand and opened it, dragged his tired body after the injury, and carefully smoked each team member.
After a box of cigarettes was distributed, he patted his head from the symbol, quickly ran into the barracks, took half of the stock, and handed it to him.
Xu Le continued to give each team member a cigarette seriously, and then lit it, while saying sincerely in a hoarse voice: "Hard work. ā
"Good work. ā
Dozens of new team members who were taken the lead in retreating by Lan Xiaolong yesterday morning showed shame and unwillingness on their faces, and the team members who had been following Xu Le to the limestone peak, on their faces
It exudes a little excitement and excitement.
And then.
Xu Le walked under the familiar tree next to the barracks, put three cigarettes between his lips and lit them, plucked them vigorously, and carefully inserted them into the loose soil under the village.
There was a burst of green smoke, a deathly silence in the field, and many people's eyes were red, not necessarily sad, but mixed with some complex emotions.
On this planet, seven groups did not die a single person for more than two months, but in the last mission before the great counteroffensive, they were slashed by the Imperials, in that river beach and the subsequent retreat, there were
More than a dozen brothers could not sleep.
In this dead silence atmosphere, some new team members couldn't help crying, and even though they were yelled back fiercely by their companions, the team members all smoked fiercely, one after another, like
The paper roll burning between the lips was the life of the Imperial, and the entire barracks was shrouded in silence and the spicy smell of Sanqi brand cigarettes.
Da Vinci smoked the most fiercely, he squatted under the eaves of the barracks without saying a word, thinking of the big fellow who lived in the same room, the farmer's son, thinking of the bloody helmet on the river beach, thinking
After that, he could no longer smell the smell of that guy's feet, and his eyes were already red, and there was a ruthlessness in the crimson that was difficult to smash. At this time, the camera crew of the Venus Documentary Factory of the Ministry of National Defense quietly appeared in the barracks, and the humming sound of equipment running woke up the team members who were immersed in a sad atmosphere. Camera
There were only two people in the group, and they withdrew in the middle of the mission yesterday, so they didn't photograph the tragic battle on the river beach, and of course they didn't want to miss this picture that was enough to move all the people of the Federation.
"Don't shoot it. Xu Le helped the village cadre to stand up, glanced at the bleeding left arm, and said to the cameraman.
The cameraman hesitated a little and glanced at the host next to him.
"Dog, tell you not to shoot!"
Da Vinci, staring at his bloodshot eyes, rushed over like a tiger, kicked the cameraman away, grabbed the camera and slammed it to the ground, smashing it all over the ground.
Xu Le lowered his head and waved his hand, Lan Xiaolong and Xiong Linquan rushed up to stop Da Vinci behind him, and Magnolia forced the cameraman and host away from the barracks with a cold gaze.
Physician officer Hou Xiandong shook his head and stepped forward and gave Da Vinci a sedative, as veterans of the seventh group, they had all experienced the emotions of these recruits when they first met life and death, and looked at it at this time
Da Vinci, who gradually relaxed and fell asleep in his arms, was just as depressed in his heart.
The barracks prohibit alcohol and smoking, and at the threshold of life and death in front of them, the soldiers need the stimulation of cigarettes, and in the legendary stories of the barracks, there is naturally something in this regard, that is: a fire.
A fire is about getting up in the morning to go to the toilet, and the guy lights a cigarette, and then one after another, and the middle does not stop at all, until he sleeps.
In the first three days after the end of the mission, Xu Le and many people in the seventh group lived a life similar to a fire, the sound and smile of the dead comrades, the exhaustion after the tragic battle, and the rest of their lives
Shivering, only the company of cigarettes can solve a little bit of relief.
Xu Le also had a fire hidden in his heart, if it weren't for the charter bureau to make that heinous mistake, the seven groups would not have needed to take the last adventure, those dozen or so fresh men
I should have farted and chatted in the barracks and smoked like myself.
Xu Le knew his character weakness, if he couldn't vent his anger for these comrades who shouldn't have died, the fire in his chest would never be extinguished, and he could only burn more and more vigorously, and the burning became more and more painful.
However, the other party was the mysterious and indifferent Charter Bureau, and before he had time to write a report to the Ministry of Defense and fight the lawsuit, the Charter Bureau had already found him.
The official of the Charter Bureau, who was wearing a black suit, looked at Xu Le with an expressionless face, and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, I was ordered to take you back to the ship for a joint investigation, as far as the mistakes you made in the mission, you
It is necessary to truthfully explain the situation to the superiors and strive for leniency. āwW
