222,Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (Chinese)(1/2)
Paul couldn't understand why both sides had reached an agreement to let the soldiers spend a peaceful Christmas, but their general still issued the order for a sneak attack.
"I order you to attack! This is the day when the Son of God was born, and it is also the best opportunity God has given us! When the war is in a stalemate on all fronts, we will be the breakthrough in this war! Everyone will remember your name!
Let us dedicate this victory to our Emperor!"
Such words that only a son of a bitch can say will cause great dissatisfaction among the soldiers no matter who says it.
However, the army in modern warfare is a precise instrument. Every part and every link is strictly controlled. The dissatisfaction of a few people often ends up being shot.
Moreover, the current situation has not deteriorated to a certain extent, and the soldiers' war-weariness has not reached its peak. In short, after several soldiers who took the lead in resistance were eliminated, everything began to be carried out according to the general's will.
Paul is a new soldier who has been on the battlefield for less than a month. Although the war life of just over half a month has not made him become indifferent and numb now, it has really made him understand what war is all about.
.
After experiencing the initial panic, the pain of the death of his child, and escaping from death again and again, Paul now doesn't know what his mood is, and just follows the orders of his superiors to spend day after day.
But even though Paul didn't want to think too much, tonight's sneak attack still made his heart beat hard.
According to the rumors he heard from the veterans, tonight's action was entirely the initiative of the general who commanded their division, and may have been tacitly approved by some people. In short, tonight's action will not be seen in public.
On paper, it can be said to be an attempt.
But, what will happen if the attempts in the eyes of big shots fall on little people like them?!
Moving slowly and silently in the dark night, Paul was surrounded by many soldiers who were as silent as him. The night shrouded these people, like a black veil covering them.
"Set off!"
Following the commander's order, this land that had finally found some peace was once again shrouded in an uneasy omen. Those black images that silently moved forward were the ghosts of the night, attacking this place like a nightmare.
What should have been a joyful and quiet night.
The weather on Christmas Day was not good, the moonlight was gone, there was still a little bit of snow, and at a glance there was only boundless darkness.
Such weather will only make people want to find a warm place to rest. Cruelty and blood should not appear in such a quiet and peaceful moment.
This is what Mei An thinks, and the comrades around him also think so at this moment.
Warm lights, lively atmosphere, and a rare high mood among the soldiers.
Whole wheat bread, red sausage, canned meat, canned milk, candies, biscuits, cigarettes... and even a little moderate amount of wine.
The soldiers, who rarely let go of their weapons, walked around while drinking and drinking. Whether they knew each other or not, they would smile and clink glasses, even put their arms around each other and even hug each other.
In such an atmosphere, even Li, who always had a sad expression in Mei An's eyes, showed a faint smile.
At this moment, under the dim light, Mei An felt that she had once again discovered the astonishing brilliance of Li's Chinese face.
The young man named Li has a soft expression, his deep black eyes reflect the lively scene in front of him, and there is a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
It's just that his eyes didn't seem to fall entirely on the comrades in front of him, but he saw the distant past through this scene.
"Hey! Li! Try this!" Mei An, who was resting on Li's shoulders, laughed and said, "I have never tasted such a new thing in my hometown! I didn't expect to eat it here. Have you eaten it before?
"
"I have eaten it." Li, who was not as nervous as usual, took a sip of the food in his hand and said, "When I was very young, our family would usually have this dish during Christmas.
My mother will start cleaning the room early in the morning, and my father rarely drinks, but will spend this Christmas with us peacefully."
"What?" Mei An, who was surrounded by a lot of noise, said loudly: "Isn't this kind of festival the right time to drink? And how come you haven't had it since you grew up?"
"I have eaten it when I grew up." Li Ye, who did not reply to Mei An's previous question, replied slightly louder: "She made it for me with her own hands! From that day on, I swore! I will definitely marry her! Even though I
You are totally unfit to be someone else’s husband!”
"Hahaha, what are you afraid of?!" Mei An, who rarely heard Li talk about such personal topics, was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Marry home first! If you don't dare, I will definitely help you when the war is over.
You chase her!"
Perhaps because he was so happy, Mei An completely forgot about the rumor about Li he had heard when he first joined the army.
But Li didn't pay attention, he just continued to drink what he was holding and watched the people in front of him singing, dancing and shouting.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li's face suddenly changed as he was being held by Mei An. With some innate sensitivity and the change in his voice, Li pushed Mei An away and quickly walked out of the room in the trench to check.
Condition.
Just when Mei An, who almost fell down, was about to curse, almost as soon as Li stumbled back after running away, he ferociously picked up the wine bottle on the table and slammed it on the ground, and then shouted loudly:
: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"What?!"
"These damn Krauts!"
"Shit! Let them all go to hell!"
.......
After the lively scene fell silent for a moment, there was overwhelming curses and curses. While venting their anger, these soldiers also immediately looked around for their weapons. On the cold battlefield, only weapons were the only ones.
Things with warmth are also the only partners you can trust.
No one doubts whether Li's words are correct or not. No matter what the situation is, we must be prepared at the first opportunity.
After hearing Li's roar, Mei An's mind went blank for a moment.
Wasn't there an agreement? Wasn't there a temporary armistice? Don't those damn Germans want to celebrate Christmas?!
Anger ignited like a blaze, and while Meian was yelling curses, he began to fumble around for his weapons, ready to show these damn Germans some color.
People shouldn't sympathize with animals!
It was only after searching for a while in this extremely chaotic situation that Mei An discovered in despair that he seemed to have forgotten his gun in the camp!
Facing the upcoming battle, without weapons, you are simply a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered!
And if you walk from here to the camp unarmed, you will probably be killed by those beasts if you meet him!
"Take it!"
Just when Mei An was desperately picking apart the crowd around him, a very familiar voice sounded, and then something was roughly shoved into his arms. Mei An subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Li's gun and his
The fragile face carved by Zhang Fengshuang.
"Stay alive Meian! Everyone has the right to live!"
Li and Mei An looked at each other for two seconds. Before they could say anything more, the crowd surged and Li completely disappeared into the crowd.
Why give it to me?
what would you do?
Before any words could be said, Meian, who was holding a weapon, hurriedly found cover amidst the gunfire that had already sounded.
It's a long story, but everything happened in a blink of an eye. From the time Li came in and yelled to the time the gunfire rang out, it didn't even take five minutes in total.
While forcing herself to calm down quickly, Mei An's words continued to echo in her mind.
Everyone has the right to live...
So they do too, right?!
Why are you still holding such ridiculous thoughts at this time?!
After gritting his teeth and swearing angrily, Mei An, who couldn't concentrate at all, muttered to himself in a daze: "Li, Merry Christmas..."
.......
Paul and his team's attack encountered some variables. It was supposed to be a one-sided massacre, but it became full of twists and turns because of a few alert guards.
However, even though some accidents occurred and the other party was panicked and somewhat prepared, it still caught the other party off guard.
Along the way, Paul and the others basically encountered no decent resistance.
Judging from the warm lights and the dazzling array of food on the table, the other party was obviously immersed in the joy of the festival just now. However, at this moment, the lights were dyed red with blood, and the exquisite food on the table was also plundered by the panicked French and others.
The Germans were in a mess, some fell to the ground and were covered with dust, and some were trampled to pieces by people's kicks.
Looking at the exquisite food, Paul swallowed his saliva, took a hasty bite, and continued to move forward with the large team.
The further inside, the more tenacious the resistance encountered.
Countless French people who had already prepared their weapons and were filled with monstrous rage came out from various places one after another, and then opened fire on these damn Germans who had broken the agreement. Everyone was filled with monstrous hatred and resentment.
, vowing to fight to the death with these beasts in front of me.
Bolstered by such emotions, Paul and the others moved slower and slower, and the people around them fell one after another.
And Paul was not always so lucky. He began to come into contact with one enemy after another, and then the two sides did not need to say anything. They just looked at each other and vowed to kill each other!
"Ah!" He growled and stabbed a panicked Frenchman to death. After making sure that the Frenchman didn't move again, Paul continued his sweep.
Regarding killing enemy soldiers, once Paul got used to it, he no longer found it difficult, and he didn't have much psychological burden for the time being. In the propaganda he had been receiving, each of these enemy soldiers was hindering the development of their country.
The culprit is, and the crimes committed by each of them will make them go to hell!
Moreover, why should you hesitate to deal with someone who also wants to kill you?
He continued to push forward despite all kinds of dangers, and bang! A gunshot came from nowhere. Although he couldn't figure out the direction of the gunshot, the severe pain made Paul couldn't help but let out a beast-like howl.
At the same time, it also stumbled and rolled to the side.
