accident
Wan Kang and Susanna retreated to the soldier's side. He was shot in the abdomen and the blood flowed.
"Let's go." The soldier covered his wound with an expression of pain, "Leave me a grenade!"
The American soldiers turned out to be so brave! Wankang has always believed that only the mighty and mighty Chinese People's Liberation Army can have this spirit.
The decision has not yet been made, and two planes have appeared in the air.
"***, they still have a plane!" Wan Kang shouted loudly.
"No, it's ours!" The soldier captain was extremely surprised, "MV-22'Er' type deflecting rotorcraft!"
Before the words fell, the machine gun on the plane swept toward the opponent like a torrential rain. The militants didn't even have time to see the plane, so they were so crushed that they could not lift their heads.
The plane made a small spin in the swift flight, stopped steadily, and dropped a set of soft ladders. Soldiers continued to descend.
Fortunately, today is the day when NATO troops stationed in Afghanistan launched an attack on the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. About 1,000 American and British soldiers stationed in Afghanistan participated in the operation, and two hundred Afghan local soldiers also joined the battle.
The battle was divided into several battlefields and almost won on all fronts. The first round of air strikes in the early morning drove the militants into a daze, and they were extremely flustered. In the next battle, although the Taliban also resisted, their combat effectiveness was not very strong, they just barely resisted.
"What plane!" Wankang was surprised.
"MV-22'Osprey' aircraft!" The soldier captain said happily, "This is the aircraft we used to gather intelligence and cruise. It is manufactured by Boeing and Bell. It can cruise at high speed like a propeller aircraft. , You can also lift and hover vertically like a helicopter."
The militants quickly evacuated, leaving a few dead bodies, and almost ten people surrendered.
It was rescued in this way, or the danger was lifted ahead of time. The soldier who was hit in the abdomen was taken away by plane and taken to the hospital for treatment.
"Susanna, this is really a false alarm." Wan Kang lay on his back on the mound, "I thought I was going to end my precious life here."
"Wangkang, you are brave!" Susanna smiled, "Really."
Wan Kang smiled embarrassedly. At this time, Sari, Yuejing Kayoko, Sirier, and Sa Kelu all rushed over. In their eyes, Wankang had become a benchmark.
The convoy was reorganized, and the two trucks continued to set off. Because the entire southern part of Afghanistan launched a large-scale attack on the Taliban, the following march was relatively stable, even the villages controlled by the Taliban were not attacked.
Probably after passing Buster, marching on the edge of the desert, they encountered a few small groups of militants, but they could not afford any storms, only to be suppressed, and finally fled in embarrassment.
There are almost no villages on the edge of the desert, but occasionally two or three villages appear, which makes people feel that this kind of ghost place is still a bit alive. It just so happens that the team can also supply water and food.
Just when I was about to get away from the desert, an accident happened. Several militants in that village fired a cold shot at the truck. A soldier's helmet was hit, and he fell into the carriage.
Several soldiers went down for a while, and several militants fled hurriedly, and finally disappeared in a broken brick wall.
Susanna greeted the soldiers to come back, but at this moment, a figure appeared. Wankang could see clearly in the carriage that the man was not an militant at all, but a middle-aged man holding a little boy.
The soldier shot at the middle-aged man in high tension.
"Don't shoot!" Although Wankang shouted loudly, no one listened.
The middle-aged man seemed to be aware of the danger, and fell to the ground early, using his body to protect the little boy as much as possible.
Wan Kang jumped out of the carriage, ran over to the front soldier and punched him, "He is just a civilian!"
The soldier was knocked to the ground by Wankang, and three soldiers next to him immediately besieged Wankang. Wan Kang was angry, bounced suddenly, and hit the soldier's cheek mercilessly with his fists.
The soldier who was beaten fell weakly, and another soldier raised the butt of his rifle and slammed it down on his shoulder. Wankang Cat flashed by, and stretched his foot to kick the soldier's calf. The soldier screamed and fell forward.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers in the car got out of the car one after another. One soldier jumped out of the car and raised a gun at Wankang.
Susanna raised her hand and threw the gun in her hand, hitting the soldier's arm with the gun. "No shooting!" Susanna shouted with the soldiers, "This is a misunderstanding!"
Sakolu, Sari, and Yuejing Kayoko showed their team spirit at this time, including Sriel, who drew their guns and ran to Wan Kang to protect him.
The soldier who led the team looked at Susanna. He was obviously angry, but there was no attack, "Okay, take your people into the car."
"He is just a civilian, holding a child, why did he shoot!" Wan Kang still yelled.
The soldier leading the group took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the middle-aged man. Several soldiers followed, still holding their guns.
"Sometimes things are not that simple." Sriel whispered to Wankang, "Some armed terrorists will pretend to be civilians and implement a human flesh explosion plan. If they are recruited, the loss will be very heavy."
"But I don't see this, I'm still holding the baby." Wan Gang argued.
"Women and children are the best disguise." Sriel said, "My brother died in Iraq and was killed by a woman bomb, and five soldiers died along with him."
Wan Kang didn't speak any more, and turned to watch the soldier leading the group cautiously approaching the middle-aged man.
The gun smoke has not yet cleared.
The middle-aged man has bowed, kneeling on his knees, and it seems that the great pain makes him straighten up. He slowly lifted his face, his contorted face twitched, tears and nasal mucus mixed on his chin.
"Raise your hand!" A soldier pointed his gun at him.
The middle-aged man slowly straightened up and raised his blood-stained hands. His trembling lips couldn't come together.
Looking down, under the middle-aged man's body, a boy covered in blood was lying quietly.
"I, I, my child... He is just a child, I just want to protect him, he is the little hero of our family!" The man did not cry, but the tears that kept pouring out were enough to show that he was extremely sad." Just three months ago, his mother gave birth suddenly. At the age of two, he was very calm. He handed his mother a towel and caught his newborn sister without letting him roll to the ground. Our family regarded him as a hero. They say that he will be a great hero when he is big, but he..." the man said, bending over, lowering his head, and stroking the blood-covered child with his bloody hands.
The limit came to an end. In the end, the man opened his mouth, cried heartbreakingly, and the yellow sand danced all over the sky.
Everyone was stunned. This was a result that no one wanted to see, which was surprising.
However, the facts cannot be changed.
The leading soldier closed his eyes and raised his face. He was very guilty, but at the same time, he stretched out the barrel of the gun and pointed it at the man's skull.
"What is he going to do!" Wan Kang panicked, ready to rush forward.
"Wang Kang, you know it." Srael pulled Wan Kang, "They are beautiful people, they have their thinking."
"No!" Wan Kang roared, "What's wrong with the beauty!"
"If that man does not die, maybe tomorrow he will be full of bombs and rush towards our army." Sriel said, "In this case, he must die, it is customary."
"Susanna!" Wan Kang almost shed tears, "Help!"
Susanna is concerned about the roots of her teeth, "Wangkang, let's get in the car."
"The custom of dog days!" Wan Kang broke free of Siril, "You American soldiers are murderers!"
A dull gunshot declared the end of an innocent life.
Wan Kang's body trembled while he was running, and then he froze in place, and shed two lines of tears. He was silent for a long time, then turned into the truck.
Sally walked over to her and sat down, close to him.
"Sally, I'm confused." Wan Kang buried his head in the middle of his knees.
"Maybe there is no right or wrong in this world, there are only two things happening and not happening." Sally said, "but one thing is certain, the one who is alive should live well."
Wan Kang raised his head and said, "All beliefs are just to numb yourself. To live, you may be doing what you want to do and doing what you can do."
"What do you want to do now?"
"Come back home."
"I also think, but not now." Sally said, "Pain allows us to grow up in order to better face the future. We live for ourselves, but it may also be for more people."
"The more I speak, the more I don't understand." Wan Kang smiled bitterly, "Perhaps he should live in a muddle-headed manner."
The car rushed in the desert, the shadow of the city gradually appeared in the distance, and Kandahar arrived. The US military base here looks lifeless, and there is no life in the prison, which is like this in the eyes of Wankang.
Twenty prisoners were unscathed and were escorted into the prison gate.
Wankang stood by the truck and looked at the accompanying American soldiers. Their faces were expressionless. Perhaps they were also helpless. Who would be willing to perform such a task and come to this place
"Wang Kang, let's go." Susanna walked over.
Wan Kang didn't look at her, "Where are we going again, shouldn't we be going to perform new tasks again?"
"Not yet," Susanna said, "I invite you to dinner tonight."
"Here?" Wan Kang turned around, "This place will make me lose my appetite."
"It's not here," Susanna said. "Go to Kabul. The environment there might be better."
"In my eyes, they are all cities on the desert. Even if the lights are shining, they reflect the horror of darkness." Wan Kang said, "Susanna, when can we return to our homeland?"
"I don't know this, maybe it will be soon, maybe a few years." Susanna said, "but no matter the length of time, we will get the corresponding return."
"I'd rather not return it." Wan Kang said, "I will go crazy after performing such a task in less than twice."
"Don't think about it for now." Susanna said, "Sometimes I think too much, and so do my troubles."
Not far away, a military plane roared and it would land in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. Susanna took Wangkang and them on the plane and headed to Kabul.
There, they will be fully rested and new tasks will follow.
