Chapter 34 The Kneeling US Soldier

boom!
The explosion sounded in the valley.

The few American soldiers in the car had no time to jump out of the car, and were immediately thrown away by the shock wave for more than ten meters in the flames, and their broken bodies fell on the snow, seeing that they could not survive.

Xu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, the two largest firepower points were all taken out.

However, he did not let go of his slack. The appearance of these two cars just now was the best proof. He still drove one more round in the direction of the woods.

After a long time, the sporadic gunfire gradually faded away.

There was almost no trace of anyone on the other side, and no gunfire returned.

Zhang Xiaoshan lay behind a stone, pressed the bleeding part of his leg, and asked weakly:

"Did we win?"

Xu Qing glanced around a few times, but didn't see any other enemies, and saw Lei Gong panting again, and made a downward gesture towards him.

He nodded slowly: "It should have won!"

Zhang Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, and he was also relieved.

But I quickly remembered that there was a little flower girl squatting underneath.Quickly get out of the way and pull her up:

"Little flower girl, are you okay?"

In desperation just now, her face was a little red when Xu Qing pressed her hard on the snow just now.But she didn't care:

"I'm fine...is anyone else injured?"

Xu Qing looked around, everyone got up and went down the mountain.

He shook his head: "It's okay, they shouldn't be seriously injured."

He took a look at Zhang Xiaoshan's leg. It was scratched by a stray bullet, and the bleeding had stopped, so it wasn't particularly serious.

He continued: "I'll go down with everyone to see if there are any enemies, Miss Hua, please take care of him for me, can you?"

The little flower girl nodded: "No problem, I will do some bandaging."

Xu Qing put the machine gun beside them, took his own gun, ran towards Lei Gong, and then followed everyone else in groups of three and three, carefully poking in.

Yu Congrong got into the two cars that were blown up there, and dragged out several corpses.He checked it, counted the number, and suddenly said to Qianli:

"Company commander, there is one less!"

Qianli nodded: "Everyone, pay attention, search separately, and be careful of the enemy's cold shot!"

Several groups are scattered to search.Just as Xu Qing and Lei Gong were going to explore the woods, they suddenly noticed a shadow moving under a car.

He immediately took a few steps back with his gun in hand, facing the bottom of the car:

"come out!"

Whoa!

The surrounding soldiers also heard it, and pulled the bolts one after another, pointing their guns at the bottom of the car to surround them.

"come out!"

Lei Kai said: "My friend, I am annoyed by You Al killing Ron De!"

Qianli: "Yes, Youal kills Lander annoyed!"

"Shout Apoo! Is that what you said?"

The person who asked this question was Yu Congrong.

"Okay...okay! I know, I know, I'm coming out now...please don't shoot me..."

There was a panicked sound, and then a sweaty head popped out from under the car.

Everyone saw that this was a young white American man with yellow hair and blue eyes, with blood on his face.

Seeing dozens of guns pointing at him, his face became even paler, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and raised his hands:
"Yeah, yeah... Please, I want to go back to my home, I have a daughter.... I give up! I give up!"

Lei Gong: "What kind of bird language does he speak, is it English?"

Mei Sheng nodded: "Yes, he surrendered."

Yu Congrong was puzzled: "Why is it different from what we learned?"

Lei Gong ignored him, and instead asked, "Why did he kneel down?"

Everyone shook their heads.

And Xu Qing was thoughtful: "Maybe I'm scared, or is the American side more open-minded?"

Yu Congrong frowned: "It's so useless? Are all Americans like this? When we were fighting the War of Resistance, neither the devil nor the Guojun were like this?"

Mei Sheng shook his head and explained: "It's different. They are a capitalist society. They choose to kneel and surrender because they are afraid of death, so they use the most humiliating posture in exchange for a chance to survive. For the vast majority of American soldiers, they fight for It’s nothing more than being able to make a living in the army, but we... are fighting for the people.”

The crowd nodded.

The Yankee was watching everyone chattering on the ground, he couldn't understand a word, thought he was going to execute himself, and wanted to say something in a panic.

Qianli said: "Okay. Bind him first, and the others continue to search around to see if there are any other survivors and enemies."

After speaking, he walked a few steps, then turned around:

"If we are captured...we are not allowed to kneel down and beg for mercy."

Everyone said in awe: "Yes!"

Keep searching.Some people went to the woods to check, and others checked the camp. There were no houses standing in the ruins of the village, and there were scorched black remnants affected by the artillery fire everywhere.

Yu Congrong asked as he walked, "Okay, you, Pinghe told me, you did a good job just now!"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I've said it a long time ago, you don't believe me."

Yu Congrong: "It's no wonder I can believe it. Who would have known that you, a rookie, are so accurate?"

Qianli heard it, and turned to look over: "How many times have you fired?"

Yu Congrong recalled: "It seems that there are not many times?"

Pinghe: "Two days of shooting in Shandong."

He knew Xu Qing's dynamics better.

"Good job, I underestimated you."

Qianli stopped and looked at Xu Qing with some relief: "But don't be proud, you have to continue to work hard. We are fighting intentionally and unintentionally, it's nothing, you have to kill thirty enemies face to face on the battlefield, that's a worthy one." planted!"

Xu Qing just killed four of them.

Seeing everyone saying this, he was a little embarrassed, and he knew that this was not the result of his own efforts.

But still nodded: "I will."

Soon, everyone searched the entire camp, but found no remaining enemies.

Yu Congrong shouted: "Come and see, Americans wear really thick clothes, and there are so many styles of clothes!"

Everyone opened the remaining two tents, and saw all kinds of items inside.

The winter clothes alone include winter hats with pockets, woolen underwear, sweater trousers, thick woolen military uniforms, and pairs of shiny combat boots with two to three layers of wool insoles.

Each tent has a stove, duck down sleeping bags, and some unfinished canned meat and canned fruit are heated on the stove.

"These Americans eat too extravagantly!"

All the soldiers were more curious looking at these, their eyes widened and they rolled their eyes. Thinking that these are theirs now, they all smiled and packed them up quickly.

Xu Qing was also a little stunned looking at these daily necessities that are still good in the 21st century.

Thinking of the dry potatoes and fried noodles that his soldiers ate, he had only one thought in his mind:
It turns out that they have cotton coats and canned food when they are really extinguished!
I also remembered what was said on the thousand-mile train: Without cotton clothes, we would grab them back from the battlefield.

Seeing these, he couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Yu Congrong climbed onto the car again.After getting down, he bumped Xu Qing's shoulder mysteriously, and said with a smile:
"Look, what is this thing?"

He took a look: "Camera?"

This is a foreign camera, a Leica camera.

Yu Congrong: "That's right, this is a rare thing, let's all take a picture! This is our first battle in North Korea."

He quickly greeted: "Company Commander, come here quickly, let's take a photo together!"

Qianli looked around: "Yes, but don't let go of the gun."

So after the soldiers searched, they slowly gathered.

Lei Gong asked: "Can you do it? This thing looks very advanced."

Yu Congrong refused: "I can't, but I can learn!"

Mei Sheng came over with a wave of his hand: "Forget it, I will. Don't waste your time, it's almost dawn, and tidy up here quickly after taking pictures."

Under his instruction, everyone stood in a row in front of the burning car one by one.

Xu Qing said, "Where's Miss Hua?"

"Come on."

Girl Xiaohua, supported Zhang Xiaoshan, walked slowly from behind, and stood beside him.

Mei Sheng was fiddling with the camera: "Everyone wait a moment..."

Yu Congrong shouted: "Not yet? Instructor, didn't you say you would?"

Qianli also said: "We can't stand here for too long, it's easy to be exposed..."

"Okay, okay, soon! Don't rush, I have never used this kind of foreign brand camera..."

The soldiers pushed and shoved one by one, teasing and laughing at each other. Most of them hadn't taken a serious photo, and their expressions were a little unnatural, but more of anticipation.

Waiting for the photo booth.Beside Xu Qing, girl Xiao Hua suddenly asked:

"Why not just kill him?"

Xu Qing replied subconsciously: "Who?"

"The ones you tied up."

Xu Qing's heart tightened.These shouldn't be words that should come out of a little girl's mouth...

But when he turned his head, his eyes met.

Her expression was extremely calm, but in her pair of shiny black eyes, he seemed to see endless blazing flames—that was an unforgettable blood feud.

Nothing about him, but it hit him.

He couldn't bear it for a while, this North Korean girl who had always been quiet, cute, and kept a sweet smile, suddenly burst out such a shocking and frightening power from her small body.

He suddenly remembered that she followed up sneakily just now, just like when he joined the army, she wanted to help wholeheartedly.

Amidst the sound of gunfire, she dragged the heavy ammunition box sweating on her face but kept silent, running back and forth, handing the ammunition decisively. The situation was urgent just now, Xu Qing didn't think so much.

But looking back now, it turned out that it wasn't that she didn't care about the dead family members, but that she hid them all in her heart...

Xu Qing deliberated and said, "The superiors told us to treat prisoners of war well..."

"Why..." Little Hua looked at him stubbornly, "Then why didn't they treat our lives kindly?"

Xu Qing's throat choked up.He couldn't answer.

"It's coming, it's coming, get ready, hey——Miss Xiao Hua, stop whispering to Wan Li!"

Everyone laughed: "Did you match your eyes?"

"Don't turn your head back either."

"Yes, look here!"

"One, two, three, laugh—eggplant..."

Click!

"All right!"

Everyone dispersed.Those who should take guns will take guns, and those who should take supplies will continue to take supplies. Although Qilian is all unyielding heroes, they all have a shy feeling when it comes to taking pictures.

"Oh, it's finally over..."

"My mouth is crooked from laughing. I'm not good at technology, instructor."

"Yu Congrong, you can talk, you come?"

"That can't, I won't..."

Xu Qing came back to her senses and turned to look at Jin Xuhua.She looked forward with a bright smile, as if she wanted to freeze in the camera's picture, and freeze it for eternity...

　I was happy today, made an exception and ordered two bottles of beer, drank too much, and came back late.Make up tomorrow!
