Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 37 The Howling Shells
heaven.

"I heard Mai Shuai went to Japan again?"

"Yes."

"He really knows how to enjoy it. He ran away by himself, and let us stay here and fly day and night..."

"He's the principal of West Point, your principal. Is that appropriate?"

"He is an army general, what does he have to do with me?"

.........

"What should I do?" the little flower girl asked.

Xu Qing didn't know either, and felt very disturbed.

But he still pretended to be calm and comforted her:

"Don't worry, the plane should just look at it, we are all dressed in white, lying on the snow, they can't see it."

.........

"It said that China sent troops, let us look for it, did you see it?"

"No. But the troops on the Western Front met and fought for a week."

"Aren't they still retreating? The ground army is about to advance to the Changjin area, and the north will be ours soon. Forget it, these have nothing to do with us, and there is no bonus...Damn it, there is no one in this damn mission!"

.........

The plane hovering over Xu Qing flew back and forth like a prank.

This is a real fighter, even if it's an American aircraft from the 50's.Under this enormous shadow, Xu Qing could clearly feel her whole body trembling slightly.

He didn't dare to move, there was the little flower girl beside him, and there was a soldier behind who also hadn't had time to retreat, and he also pressed his body close to the ground, using the car as a cover.

Xu Qing's peripheral vision was fixed on the sky all the time. With his excellent eyesight, he could clearly see the huge five-pointed star and the Stars and Stripes on the plane, and the distinctive F-86 words were painted on the tail of the plane.

He knew that this was the most advanced fighter-bomber of the US military, nicknamed "Saber".These days and nights in the sky, they are even a little familiar, but this is the first time they have appeared in front of them at close range.

He had a vague premonition in his heart.

Turning to the little flower girl, she said:

"If something is wrong, remember to run with me."

……

"But Professor Mike..."

"Oh my God, he actually likes being called a doctor... Well, he said he can only blow up the bridges and roads on one side of the river, but not on the other side. That's really awkward."

"But I still want to ask—James, what do you think will happen if it blows up?"

"That's a diplomatic incident."

.........

below.

Many soldiers of the Seventh Company were lying on the ruins, and they had nowhere to escape, so they had to mix among the dead bodies of the villagers.

Yu Congrong: "Let's save them!"

Ping He clenched his gun tightly: "If he is lower, I will definitely hit him!"

"do not move!"

Qianli grabbed Yu Congrong, "This is a fighter plane, not a reconnaissance plane. Both are in the sky. See the rows of shells hanging under the wings? If it moves, everyone will die!"

Yu Congrong clenched his fists: "Don't we just ignore it? Their target may be the car!"

Qianli roared: "Don't I know? That's my brother!...My own brother!"

Everyone on their side was on the other side of the ruins in the valley, watching nervously.

Luckily for them, the plane didn't notice the wreckage at all.

.........

"The group of Chinese farmers? Haha, James, you must be joking, are we still afraid of them?"

"It's not funny. They just beat the Japanese..."

"Isn't that our little boy's credit?"

"You'll be court-martialed for that."

"Okay buddy, forget it."

.........

"Can we survive?"

The little flower girl was crushed under him.

Her clothes are colored by the Korean ethnic group and cannot be exposed.

"What did you say!"

Xu Qing asked loudly.

The plane was already flying close to the ground, hovering tens of meters above the sky, accompanied by the roar of the huge engine.

The huge wind, the branches and leaves flying around, blew on his face, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

.........

"Hey, look what I see?"

"what?"

"Our car."

"No, it's those landlubbers from the army."

"Hahaha, Jesus! James, I found out for the first time that you also have a sense of humor..."

.........

"I said—are we still alive?"

The little flower girl pressed against his ear, saying every word.

"I can live! Don't move around..."

Her eyes are full of fear and tears:

"But my grandma and Abbaji... that's how they died."

.........

"I haven't heard that the army has arrived in this area?"

"It may be the advance team. They were beaten back by the Chinese. They like to drop things. They are really a bunch of cowardly brats."

"Are there any of us?"

"did not see it."

"That's not good. Is there a sign on the car?"

"nor."

"Then blow it up. Don't leave it to the enemy."

.........

"Don't talk nonsense, we'll be fine...not good!"

Qianli roared in the distance:
"run!"

With the cry of thousands of miles.

Xu Qing, who had been paying attention to the sky, saw this fighter jet, like a fortress in the sky, circle around and come back almost at the same time. A huge cylindrical shell hanging under the wing loosened.

... Then, it suddenly flipped in the air and fell down!
His eyes suddenly narrowed into a line, and he frantically pulled her up:
"It's napalm, run!!!"

.........

"My daughter is still in Florida, waiting for me to come home for Christmas to celebrate. What do you think I should give her?"

"A wind-up toy car, or a candy house, or summer camp. Oh, and Tom and Jerry, you know...that's all the rage in Washington these days."

"Holy crap, I promise, she's going to love this!"

"Really?"

"real."

"Little Angela? Remember to give my blessing to the beautiful princess."

.........

A huge black metal object like an egg was thrown down violently.

After the sharp whistling sound, there was a brief sound of the shell hitting the car, but it lasted no more than half a second, followed by an overwhelming explosion!
"Boom boom boom!"

Without looking back, he felt a huge circle of flames splashing around with a black-red mushroom cloud, the whole car was blown to pieces, stones, mud, tiles, and even car parts disintegrated and flew in the air.

The whole world seemed to be shaking.

The shell just landed on the car, but the aftermath of the explosion swept in all directions, and the ground undulated like ocean waves.

Run, run, run!
At this moment, there are only two colors left in his eyes:

The fiery red flames, and the forest stream ahead!

.........

"what?"

"what happened?"

"I seem to see a few North Korean refugees."

"you sure?"

"James, you're questioning me. There's a North Korean woman in there."

"Well, I'm sure you're right. You've always only had eyes for women."

"Hey! Dude, don't think I don't understand, are you doubting my fidelity to marriage?"

.........

Below, the flames are raging, and the world is like hell.

"what!"

A miserable howl came out from the soldier's mouth.

He only ran a step slower, the gasoline bomb burned with intense heat, and a drop of sparks splashed everywhere ignited his clothes.

While running, he yelled and hurriedly took off his clothes, but it still didn't help. The solidified gasoline and white phosphorus stuck to his body and continued to burn, and the heart-piercing shouts spread far away.

As Xu Qing ran, his heart was covered with a shadow. He seemed to feel a breath of death covering the land.

Qianli picked up the gun and raised it fiercely, but was unwilling to put it down.

His eyes were red, and he yelled in the distance:
"Run! Run to the creek!"

"Hide in the water!"

.........

"Are you done?"

"It's coming."

"It's really slow...how are those refugees doing?"

"What else, man, how about I put in another ditch, and have some fun with this dull Sunday?"

"Forget it, save some ammunition, the committee will let you report. We have to go after the enemy in the north."

"You're too late - it's already launched. Believe me, my cuties will burn this forest down."

"You are so perverted."

"Haha, where are you?"

"Above you."

"I'm coming here."

"Wait a minute. There is a reconnaissance plane calling from the south of North [-]th District."

"It's annoying...well, after flying all morning, it's time to relax."

.........

Endless flames.

The flames were soaring everywhere, the smoke was thick everywhere, and the sparks flew over the wasteland turf, burning as soon as they stuck, and the burning continued, and the thick snow layer melted to expose the scorched land.

Xu Qing wrapped the soldier who was badly burned on his back with clothes, and dragged him forward with Miss Hua one after the other. Just after he walked out of the explosion circle, he heard the sound of roaring and falling from the sky again.

Before Xu Qing had time to rejoice, his complexion changed drastically:
"They dropped bombs again!"

At this time, it was only ten meters away from the stream.With the ten covered cars in the middle, this is the best barrier.

"Run there!"

But the little girl suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

A huge incendiary bomb had already fallen from the sky and exploded tens of meters behind him. The shock wave, gasoline, and flames destroyed trees and rushed towards this side quickly.

"Get up!"

Xu Qing went to pull her.

The little flower girl took his hand and tried to stand up, but fell down again.Xu Qing bowed her head - her ankles had already bent into a twisted shape.

"You guys run..."

She suddenly smiled.

"No..." Xu Qing wanted to hug her up.

"Come on!"

The flame impact brought by the explosion was close in front of her eyes, she suddenly pushed Xu Qing hard.

Xu Qing retreated again and again, her heart was pounded fiercely with a sledgehammer, some couldn't believe it, and an extremely uncomfortable emotion surged up.

He pulled the wounded soldier and jumped into the stream, and the moment he turned his head, he was afraid for the first time that his eyes were so good.

He saw in her eyes reluctance, unforgettable, calm, longing, and a smile that seemed to be relieved.

He saw her body being scorched in the overwhelming flames, the intense Celsius temperature could melt steel, and now such flames were rushing toward her rapidly.

"Hit...beauty for me..."

The little flower girl took a last look at this side and shouted, but before she could finish speaking, Lie Yan (raging flames) and the shock wave disappeared in a blink of an eye.Then, under the high temperature, her body shattered like glass...

There seems to be something broken in his heart...
