Chapter 344 Let’s go!
Mantun chimed in, her voice tinged with grievance.
"Yuemin, just let me go... What's this little injury? So many comrades from the Sharp Knife Company, the company commander, the first platoon leader, the third platoon leader, and so on... and our small squad that sacrificed themselves... I can't just hide in the back like this..."
"You want me to lie in a hospital bed waiting for your news? I can't wait that long, it's too agonizing."
That's it.
Zhang Haiyang said indignantly:
"You two are fighting bloody battles against the enemy on the front lines, and we're just resting in the rear? No, no!"
Ning Wei stood aside, silently watching the argument, then suddenly spoke, his voice calm yet carrying a chilling undertone.
“Brother Yuemin, how about we take Brother Haiyang and my master with us? I can help look after their injuries. Without them, we won’t have enough manpower, and the risk will actually be greater.”
Zhong Yuemin looked at the unwavering determination in Zhang Haiyang's eyes, at Man Tun's almost pleading gaze, and then listened to Ning Wei's calm analysis.
He knew that, given Haiyang's temperament, he couldn't persuade them. Mantun was stubborn; once he got going, not even a few oxen could pull him back.
He and Haiyang were brothers who came from Beijing together, and he and Mantun had been comrades-in-arms for so many years. The bond and brotherhood between them had long transcended a simple superior-subordinate relationship.
I took a deep breath. This place was not only a temporary command post, but also a temporary rear hospital for treating the wounded.
The air, thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood, stung his throat.
"Oh shit……"
He muttered a curse, sounding like both resignation and helplessness.
"Make sure you bandages are tight enough, or if any of you fall behind, don't blame me for abandoning you halfway!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haiyang and Man Tun instantly showed expressions of relief, as if their wounds no longer hurt so much.
"Yuemin, don't worry!"
Zhang Haiyang replied in a Beijing accent, even trying to pat his chest with his uninjured hand, which aggravated his injury, causing him to wince in pain. And yet he still managed to be sarcastic.
"Anyone who falls behind is a son of a bitch!"
Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but laugh. This guy was shameless and brazen!
Mantun chuckled sheepishly and quickly checked the gauze on his chest.
Zhong Yuemin said no more, turning his head to look outside the command post at the distant mountains and forests, the setting sun about to sink, and the unknown and dangerous jungle under the setting sun.
"Check the equipment, replenish ammunition and rations, and depart immediately after receiving the combat orders from above!"
Having already made up his mind, he would take advantage of this rest time to use the magical spring water to irrigate the herbs he had grown and apply them to the wounded, including Haiyang and Mantun, and to give them more of the magical spring water to speed up wound healing and restore their strength...
Night,
This will be the best cover for their reconnaissance squad.
A new mission has been issued: to penetrate deeper into enemy territory, with the target being the enemy's key town of Gantang.
And by his side were still those same few wounded but devoted brothers who followed him unconditionally.
Zhong Yuemin led his team out of the command post.
Outside, the sun had set, night had fallen, and the distant, ravaged highlands lay silent, shrouded in darkness, 'lost' in the night.
The previous fighting, shouts, and the roar of cannonballs... seemed as if they had never happened.
Zhong Yuemin adjusted the submachine gun slung over his shoulder.
"set off!"
They stepped into the night first, followed closely by the other members of the team. The few figures quickly disappeared into the endless darkness.
