C478 (1/2)

The victory makes people happy, but for Qiao Zheng's shock platoon, only after winning can we have time to be sad.

People were staring at the corpses all over the ground. The people who were killed by the howitzer couldn't tell who was who. Someone began to turn over the sign on the corpse in silence.

It's an iron plate.

In order to avoid being unidentified after the death, the military will customize a sign for each person with his name and date of birth on it. When the body cannot be recovered, only this sign will be taken away.

Lin Nan looks at these people, suddenly feels to Qiao Zheng's anger dissipated some.

Joe was looking at the corpse on the ground when his fingers trembled like an old man in twilight.

Finally, he stopped in front of a tall man, kneeling on his knees.

When Joe was turning over the body, the man was still staring angrily, as if a roar would come out of his mouth the next second.

But the body was already cold, with more than 20 bullet holes.

Joe was trying to calm his face. Shivering, he took off the nameplate from the body and put it in his arms like a baby. Then he rummaged in the body's pocket for a long time to find a box of crumpled cigarettes.

Joe was pulling out a cigarette and holding it in his mouth. He kept pressing the lighter. Unfortunately, his fingers trembled so much that he couldn't light it.

Lin Nan can't bear it. He goes over and takes out the lighter to light it for the platoon leader.

Joe looked at him gratefully and opened his mouth. He didn't say thank you. He didn't want to say it. He didn't even have the strength to move his mouth.

Lin Nan looked at the rest of the shock platoon soldiers, they are looking for their friends' bodies. Some people sit on the ground motionless, some hold the corpse and cry. It's them who cry when they win the battle. After the disaster, more people live with hatred and anger in their eyes.

Lin Nan looks at these people in silence. Hatred makes them unable to leave the war zone. On the way to revenge, they fall one after another. New soldiers join in and repeat the scene. Lin Nan speculates that this is the reason why the veterans do not want to leave.

It's not that I don't want to leave. I can't leave until I finish some things.

Lin Nan sighed. He patted Qiao Zheng on the shoulder and said softly, ”platoon leader, if you feel uncomfortable, you will cry. No one looks down on you.”

Joe was looking up, grinning, with an ugly smile: ”I can't cry.”

Cigarette butts fall on the desert. The wind blows over and they are buried in the sand.

Qiao is quietly picked up the body, went to the front of the SUV, he looked back at Lin Nan, eyes begged to say: ”can you help me, the body back here?”

Lin Nan nodded silently.

…

…

The next morning.

At four o'clock, before dawn, the camp of the 75th regiment was quiet. Apart from the soldiers on patrol, it was the sound of sleeping in the tent.

It's still early to gather. In the meeting room of the 75th regiment, officers were gathered early.

At the top of the long table was commander Ding with a heavy look.

Next to him is Lu Xingzhi. Next to him, he takes a seat according to his rank. There are about ten people.

Now, they are all staring at the huge military sand table on the table.

In a rocky desert, there is a red chess piece with a small character on it, ”Pai”, representing Qiao Zheng's team.

Company commander Zheng's expression is not optimistic, he told the bad news: ”yesterday afternoon, the contact with platoon leader Qiao was interrupted, it is estimated that I was ambushed. ”
