Chapter 572 Warrior Wen Ni
"If this person can be of help to you, keep him for now, and then talk to Commander Qin about it later."
"Okay, I understand."
Liang He responded.
The call ended there, and Liang He, still holding the microphone, turned to look at the chief of staff beside him.
"The army commander's latest instructions are for us to prepare. Tomorrow, the entire brigade will head directly to Fuping. Wenxiong is waiting for us there. After we capture Fuping, we will go to Yancheng together to rejoin the main force!"
"So sudden? A complete rout?"
The chief of staff was also shocked and exclaimed.
"Within two months, we have captured two border cities in Myanmar with minimal casualties. If we capture Fuping and Yancheng, it won't be long before we can directly attack the capital of Myanmar! Our newly appointed major general is truly ruthless and decisive!"
"How could the commander of an army group be a mere mortal? The entire 85th Army Group was rebuilt because of him. His ability and courage truly deserve such a bold move from the military headquarters!" Liang He's tone was full of emotion. "Even with the help of the Myanmar Kingdom, what can they do? I want to see how long those Myanmar lackeys can hold out under our strong attack!"
"Speaking of which, brigade commander, I've heard some rumors about our army commander." The chief of staff thought for a moment and then said, "It is said that he comes from a military family, and his grandfather was once the commander-in-chief of the Chinese armed forces. He joined the army halfway through his career, partly to serve the country, and partly because he seems to be looking for someone, and the person he is looking for seems to be in Myanmar."
"His background is unusual, so fighting for the country is possible. But finding someone is unrealistic. Giving up his wealthy life to join a miserable military camp, braving shells every day, and running to this godforsaken place just to find someone—he must be crazy!" Liang He waved his hand. "You've probably just listened to those guys below talking nonsense again. Tell them not to spread rumors. If it gets to the commander's ears, I can't save them!"
"Okay." The chief of staff nodded with a smile.
"Alright, notify all units to pack up securely. After meeting with the 92nd Group Army tomorrow morning, the entire army will set off for Fuping! The situation in the heart of Myanmar is complex and complicated, with enemies everywhere. The battles ahead will only become more and more difficult. Tonight is the last time to rest and relax. After tonight, everyone must be on high alert and remain vigilant at all times!"
"Yes, Commander!"
As the sun sets, the sky is ablaze with evening glow.
In a separate tent temporarily erected in the western flank of the Chinese military camp behind Mandegan.
The girl's back view was slender, her legs long and straight, wrapped in camouflage green military pants. She was not wearing any clothes above her waist and hips, only white straps wrapped around her navel.
Shoulders, neck, waist, abdomen, arms—any skin exposed to the air is marked with scars the length of an index finger! These scars are fresh wounds still scabbed over, and if you look closely, you can see a layer of pale pink old wounds underneath them!
Her slender fingers held a towel dampened with warm water, wiping the still relatively unscathed parts of her body, and finally covering her face to wipe away the mud and dust. A pair of bright eyes illuminated her young face.
Her hands were calloused. Looking at them alone, one could tell she had aged considerably compared to her face.
She grabbed the military green combat jacket from the hanger with one hand. The jacket was too big and didn't fit her well, so she had to tighten the belt. Then she slung the most ordinary rifle over her shoulder.
Looking at my reflection in the basin
She gave a slight, gentle smile.
What to do? My smile looks worse than my tears.
But she was happy!
From this day forward, everything must start from scratch. Difficulties and hardships are foreseeable. Yet, she embraces it all with joy and anticipation!
"Lu Jinye, if you were here, you would definitely support my decision, right?"
She raised her hand and pressed it against her empty collar.
The bullet necklace he gave her had long since vanished during their wanderings, just like her—appearing suddenly and disappearing just as suddenly. Perhaps, this was her fate, the fate she chose!
If I can't come back, don't wait for me.
[Because I must take up my gun again, return to the battlefield, for my brothers, living and dead, for my family, for the country I am so proud of… and for you, my beloved!]
Win a decisive battle and sweep away all obstacles.
If she can leave them with a lifetime of peace and joy, then her life will not have been in vain!
He put on his helmet, his eyes resolute, and lifted the tent flap.
"Miss Wen Ni..." Qin Yuan was waiting outside when he saw the completely transformed young woman and was stunned.
Wearing her military uniform again, she looked incredibly dashing! This Wen Ni was most dazzling, making it hard to look away!
“What, Miss Wen Ni? Just call me Wen Ni.” Wen Ni looked at Qin Yuan, who had also changed into a green military uniform. “I told Brigade Commander Liang that you will stay by the Chief of Staff’s side and help out from now on. You don’t need to go to the front line. He agreed.”
"What? No, I want to go with you!" Qin Yuan snapped out of her daze, her eyes wide with confusion.
“Why are you following me? I’m going to the front lines. Do you expect me to be fighting the enemy while also looking after you? Just stay in the camp. You’ll be safe. Besides, Liang He is a suspicious man. He still has doubts about our identities. If you’re under his watchful eye, he’ll trust me more. You can also keep me informed about things.”
"No, Wen Ni!" Qin Yuan was so anxious that her mouth was trembling, and it took her a while to finally blurt out, "What I mean is, you have to live! You absolutely have to live!"
"Of course I want to live! I haven't dealt with the Burmese barbarians yet, nor have I killed Li Shiyan to avenge Song Yanfeng, Ya'er, and the company commander. How could I die?" Wen Ni smiled calmly and relievedly, patting Qin Yuan on the shoulder. "You have to live too, otherwise how will I explain to Lu Jinye and Balun when I get back!"
"My life is not important!" Qin Yuan shouted, her face flushed.
"No one's life is unimportant; everyone's is important. Because in this world, there is only one you, unique and irreplaceable!" Wen Ni's smile vanished, and she deliberately put on a stern face. "Don't say such silly things again."
"Wen Ni..."
Qin Yuan's nose started to sting again.
From the tents erected in the open space behind us, we could faintly hear singing—a very familiar song…
"The smoke of war and the sunset paint half the sky red, the pounding drums of my heart urge me forward~ Wounds will always heal, who doesn't carry wounds and desperately move forward... Tear through the darkness, welcome the dawn, on this battlefield, I will rule the rise and fall..."
Breaker
The lyrics and music were co-written by Wen Ni and An Xi.
She wrote every single word herself, so of course she felt familiar with it!
However, besides Anxi, there is another person who sang this song... Tang Zi.
In the shed in the open space, soldiers sat in twos and threes, their bodies covered in mud and bearing wounds, biting into their dry rations, while a live version of this song played on their phones.
This should be considered one of the few moments of relaxation they had after capturing Mandegan!
The song ends with a message from Tang Zi and An Xi.
"As ordinary people, all we can do is provide ample logistical support, hoping that our soldiers will all return safely. And... our friend is also in Myanmar, and we have lost contact with her. But we believe she will hear this song we wrote together. We are even more convinced that she will return alive, with glory!"
The girls' voices, smiles, and the happy, playful moments seem like they happened just yesterday.
For Wen Ni, this was nothing short of a long-awaited reunion!
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she looked up at the night sky, trying not to let the tears fall.
Above the night sky
The sky was cloudless, the stars twinkled, and all was peaceful.
Looking around, the world is filled with the smoke of war and the roar of gunfire...
A whistle pierced the long night, waking the sleeping soldiers.
