C3011 One hour ceasefire (1/2)
An hour's worth of ceasefire agreement was completely outside the General Command's line of sight. This was a small secret of the frontline battle squadron.
Just like how when Xiao Letian fought in his previous life, both sides would come out of the trenches to celebrate Christmas. In the cold and merciless killing fields, the leaders were still people, but humans had a trace of humanity!
Yes, you are just an ordinary soldier. You cannot stop the outbreak of a national war, and you do not have the courage to defy military discipline!
But at least when your gun is aimed at the weak heads of women and children, at the moment of pulling the trigger too high a finger, that raised finger is your human nature!
Prussian army wanted the remains of his comrades. They would not allow their dead brothers to lie alone on the battlefield without being able to return home!
The French army needed food, and the 170,000 people had already used up all of the Mace City's food.
The moment both sides' demands collided, a temporary ceasefire that would not be recorded in the annals of history was born!
At least for the next hour, they were not enemies, nor were they soldiers. They were just ordinary people!
”French opposite me... Then... Be nicer to my brothers … ”
A pack of cigarettes flew out from Prussian army's hidden shooting point and landed right in between Louis and Ma Ke. The two of them looked at each other, and then with a kick from Louis, the cigarette flew to Ma Ke's side.
Ma Ke, who was lying on the ground, smelt the smoke of the cigarette contentedly. ”This is the smell of Crimean gunfire!”
This was a proverb only the French could understand, because the first paper cigarette in the world was born from a Crimean War!
At that time, robotic cigarettes were officially a necessity in war, and tobacco was a mild anesthetic or a soft drug!
In the war of hell, tobacco was always a good way for soldiers to relax their nerves. Without it, who knew how many people would go crazy from the torture!
This kind of machine made cigarettes, which were invented in the Crimean War, became a hot topic among the soldiers in an instant!
”The smell of Crimean fire …” The two sighed with emotion and continued sweeping the battlefield. However, it was clear that this pack of cigarettes made their movements softer and gentler.
They only collected food and didn't take anything else with them. In the end, they even lightly wiped the dust from the corpse's face.
Time passed minute by minute, and the sound of urging came from behind. It had been almost an hour, and both of them were now much bolder. They stood up and carried their huge backpacks, which contained their spoils of war.
The two of them were about to return to their party, but the Prussian army Sharpshooter on their back didn't shoot, he only watched quietly!
”They're all a bunch of people about to go crazy from hunger …” Many Prussian soldiers s helplessly shook their heads.
Suddenly! Louie stopped walking and squatted down. No one knew what he was doing, even the Prussian army Gunner raised her head vigilantly.
Louie looked at the dead sergeant, took the gold ring from his pocket, hesitated a moment, then slipped it back to the severed hand.
”Sir, this ring should be left to your wife …” ”Maybe this is the memory of you for the rest of her life …”
The severed hand was placed respectfully next to the corpse, joining together with the severed arm. The soldier then got up and ran back to his defensive position.
After the French cleaned up the battlefield, it was very soon time for the Prussian army to collect the corpses. More than ten soldiers without guns suddenly stood up from their hiding place.
