Silent Shell Case - C16
Border confrontation (1)
5: 47 AM. The gray sky had already started to brighten, but the torrential rain was still pouring down.
Li Wu put down the binoculars in his hands and replied: “He should have been attacked by the armed gunman. I have never seen such a powerful poison before! The reinforced concrete post tower were blown to pieces, I think the A Nation Outpost Card will have heavy losses this time. ” With that, Li Wu walked into the duty room behind him and dialed the number of Commander’s office: “Reporting to Commander! This is Outpost 7, the A-Nation Outpost opposite you has experienced a violent explosion. It could be that you have met with an attack from the armed gunman! ”
Commander took the raincoat to the side, then went downstairs to take the Second Platoon Five warriors who were on duty today. After collecting the live ammunition, they went to the canteen, called Class monitor He who was cooking mantou and led the soldiers to carry the mantou and ran in the direction of Outpost Seven, fully armed …
Border confrontation (2)
“Team Leader, look! Someone is coming down from their side! ” Fifth Squad Leader said to Li Wu who was still observing the surroundings to see if there was anyone around the border.
Li Wu then aimed the telescope in his hands towards a plot of open land not far away from the post tower. He saw that about a platoon of A Nation’s government troops, which were still burning with flames, were approaching the Boundary Monument in the midst of a torrential downpour.
“Quick!” They may be preparing to cross over! ” As he said that, Li Wu took off the 95 assault rifle on his back and ran down towards the bottom of the post tower.
When Fifth Squad Leader and Li Wu were about to reach a mound in front of the Realm Monument, the opponent’s large group had already reached a place not too far away from the Boundary Monument. Li Wu hastily pounced towards the mound and propped up the 95 assault rifle s in his hands.
Seeing that, the A Nation soldiers on the other side also raised their guns, with dozens of black muzzles aimed straight at Li Wu and the Fifth Squad Leader with their guns.
The situation was still in a deadlock. Neither side moved, aiming their guns at each other. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the rumbling of thunder in the sky.
Just then, Commander and the Class monitor He brought the group of five class five to the hidden mound of soil in front of Li Wu and the Fifth Squad Leader. Seeing this situation, the soldiers all reached out their 95 assault rifle s with live ammunition, and aimed at the army of A Nation that was also carrying guns in front of them.
At this moment, no one dared to continue forward. Neither side was allowed to step into the border between the two countries.
Commander had been paying attention to the satellite phone in front of him. He was waiting for the dialogue between Z and A. He was waiting for the problem to be resolved. The two sides aimed at each other in the rain for more than thirty minutes, neither of them giving in.
Time continued to pass second by second, suddenly, the soldiers and commanders of A Nation’s army seemed to move forward, while Li Wu vigilantly pulled on the bolt of the gun, pushing the live ammunition into the barrel, thinking that as long as anyone from A Nation’s army dared to take a step past the Boundary Monument, he would open fire. On the other side, Commander’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger. He grabbed the top of the mound with one hand and was about to cross it.
Class monitor He saw and pulled his hand, reminding him: “You can’t go forward, they will shoot, you can’t let the conflict escalate. We have to follow orders and continue to wait for orders from our superiors. ”
“The order says only that no border crossing is allowed. It says not to operate on our own territory! Not to mention that we can’t defend our country’s territory! “If you wait any longer, all of the yellow flower vegetables will get cold!” Commander said excitedly, he then picked up the satellite phone and jumped over the pile of soil, then walked towards the Realm Monument.
“He’s coming our way. Push the bullets into the chamber and shoot him the moment he raises his gun and makes a move to aim at us. Or if he walks past the pillar a little, even if it’s just a little, shoot him!”
“Crack!” The dozens of guns on the opposite side were loaded and pointed towards Commander. The soldiers of A Nation, who had experienced the nightmare last night, furiously aimed at the PLA officers who were walking towards them.
The Commander did not fear the dozens of guns in front of him. He threw his raincoat to the side and continued to walk towards the direction of the World Tablet.
The atmosphere became even more tense. Class monitor He said to the soldiers in alert, “Aim for the commander of the enemies. If they dare to move, kill them!”
Commander walked over to the side of the pillar. He did not aim his gun at the A Nation soldiers who were aiming at him, but placed his spear in front of his chest. He held his spear in a standard upright posture and stood by the side of the pillar.
Class monitor He felt that there was only Commander up ahead, so he decided that there was no other way, and gave the rest of the warriors some missions: “I, 2nd Platoon, Fifth Squad Leader and three veterans of Class 5 and Commander will go together to stand guard for the World Monument. The rest of you five new recruits will serve as a reserve and continue to guard here, waiting for backup. If … “We are all honored. We can only rely on you new recruits.”
With that, the Class monitor He patted the shoulders of the five new recruits. After leaving behind the steamed buns, he took off his raincoat and jumped out.
Li Wu, Fifth Squad Leader and three other veterans also took off their raincoats and jumped out of the mound, followed by Class monitor He and the rest of the six. They lined up in a straight line, and walked to the side of the Boundary Monument as if they were looking at a parade.
Commander laughed and said to Class monitor He: “What is it? You guys are going to be their targets too? ”
Class monitor He also laughed: “Of course everyone will do good things like becoming a martyr.”
“We shall live and die together!” A few veterans said in unison in the rain.
Border Confrontation (3)
The rain continued to pour down relentlessly from the sky, hitting the bodies of Li Wu and the other seven veterans. The wet military uniforms stuck to their bodies felt unspeakably uncomfortable, but they did not care in the slightest.
The five recruits hiding behind the mound of dirt behind them were puffing and choking with red faces. None of them wanted to be treated as cowards and everyone wanted to participate in this silent battle. Suddenly, one of the private soldiers took off his raincoat and jumped out like Commander. His comrades beside him did not have the time to stop him, they were all stunned for a moment, then climbed up and took off their raincoats to jump out.
On the other side of the Boundary Monument, the A Nation’s Government Army saw that although the Z Nation’s army was small in numbers, they still dared to charge forward and clash head on with them. They all held onto their guns vigilantly, aiming at the twelve Chinese soldiers standing next to the Boundary Monument — Commander, Li Wu, Class monitor He, and three other veterans. The two sides remained in a deadlock.
“Stand still, straighten your chest, raise your head, don’t move.” Commander said coldly.
The torrential rain continued to fall mercilessly. Ice-cold droplets of rain began to fall heavily from the sky, hitting their bodies and faces. They flowed down along their steel helmets and the 95 assault rifle s in their hands. No one moved. They all stood there with their heads held high, even though their numbers were far less than theirs. Their chests were still straight, their heads held high, and their eyes were still determined, convincing the A nation’s soldiers on the other side that they would not take a step back.
The wind blended with a thunderclap that sounded like an explosion, echoing in both ears. The commander of the enemy seemed to think that the soldiers of Z would not fire at them, so he ordered his soldiers to take back their leveled guns and hold them in front of their chests, pointing them down and also standing straight in front of the monument, glaring at the soldiers of Z. However, the difference was that they were still wearing raincoats and their numbers were still several times that of the soldiers of Z Country …
The soldiers of Z Country across from them did not move at all. Their entire bodies were drenched, but they still stood there like statues. Gradually, the soldiers of A Nation, who had the advantage of numbers, became impatient. Some of them stamped their feet, some of them started to wipe the rain off their faces, some of them switched arms with their guns in front of their chests. Their commanding officer said something in a stern voice, and the soldiers of A Nation stood up again.
Li Wu, whose body was drenched in cold water, repeatedly told himself in his heart: “I am a soldier of Z Nation, I will guard this faraway border, protecting the peace and serenity of my motherland. For the sake of this serenity, my motherland cannot move an inch!” It was precisely because of this that they, who were guarding the territory of their home country, were unable to move a single inch …
Time slowly passed … One hour… Two hours … Three hours… The satellite phone that Commander brought with him rang, but the Commander did not care about it.
At the same time, the other party’s commander’s phone rang. After he fished out the phone and said something, the soldiers under him made a “pull back” gesture, and the country A soldiers began to retreat. However, they were still holding their guns, their eyes and pitch-black muzzles still aimed at the country Z soldiers. When they had all retreated into the woods, their commander gave the order again, and they suddenly disappeared into the trees.
Commander was still motionless and he did not give out any orders. The soldiers of Z Nation were still standing straight beside the Boundary Monument without moving an inch. Rain was still dripping down their snow-white faces, and even their lips had long since lost any trace of blood.
The veterans were still persevering on by relying on their perseverance, while the bodies of a few recruits were already starting to tremble.
A “gulp” sound came from behind him. Commander turned his head to look and saw that one of the recruits from Class 5 had collapsed in a mud pond. Li Wu, who was closest to the recruit wanted to support him, but his own body had already become extremely stiff. Right after stepping out, he fell, but he still continued to crawl, and after grabbing hold of the recruit, Li Wu squatted on the ground and carried the recruit on his back. He stood up with much effort, and continued to stand next to the Boundary Monument.
Just then, the instructor’s voice came from behind them. The instructor brought his soldiers and ran towards them while shouting: “Commander! The A government has agreed to hold border talks! They want to talk to you by name.
In the sky, for some unknown reason, the rain suddenly stopped. The gray clouds started to disperse, and through a crack in the sky, the sunlight shone upon the soldiers of Z Nation, who were still standing upright, and on the Realm Monument next to them. The light of the majestic and inviolable national emblem shone even more brilliantly ….
