Chapter 342 The Sun Rises
After reaching a consensus, the parrot put down the gun.
She took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and threw it to Lei Zhen.
"Where are you from?"
"Ask Huang Rui for it."
"Huang Rui is the primary target..."
"Can you survive safely by eating one more piece of chocolate?" The parrot frowned and said, "There's no reason for you to give everything to others. Supplies should be distributed reasonably, not selflessly."
"Parrot, you did this..."
Lei Zhen couldn't say it was wrong, but he also didn't know how to comment on it, because what the other person said was also right.
Materials need to be distributed reasonably, especially in this situation, and it is even more necessary to carry out rationality throughout, for the sake of the overall situation.
"You appear selfish, but you're actually selfless." The parrot gazed deeply into his eyes and continued, "If I were a man, I'd definitely be your brother. Unfortunately, I'm a woman, so I can only be the mother of your children."
Lei Zhen opened his mouth, wanting to laugh but feeling it wasn't appropriate.
The logic of this little parrot is a bit jumpy, which makes me feel a little bit unacceptable, but when I think about it carefully, it makes sense.
"You won't sleep with another woman in our marriage bed, will you?" the parrot suddenly asked.
This question was quite soul-touching. Lei Zhen, who had not had such an idea before, suddenly felt eager to do it.
“This won’t happen.”
"That's good."
“…”
The sound of gunfire was heard all around, and the battlefield was filled with smoke.
Lei Zhen can attack and kill freely, but now he feels trapped. His mind is resisting, but his heart is enjoying it.
I don't know how to describe this feeling. It's a mixture of wonder and melancholy, a bit of joy in the melancholy, and a touch of sadness in the joy...
I am a wild horse. Her family doesn't even have grassland, yet she wants to trap me. Tang Yingwu, you are worthy of being an intelligence officer.
Others may have a lot of tricks in their heads, but you are not as good as me who suddenly has a solid eye. I, Lei Zhen, hunt geese all day long, but today I was pecked in the eye by a goose!
…
The government forces and the rebels continued to exchange fire. The defense was very tenacious and the attack was very fierce, with howitzers bombarding one after another.
Unfortunately, the government forces had already become moles in the ruins of the defense. The soldiers had learned to dig their own foxholes and hide in them to avoid artillery fire.
Fortunately, the rebels had not learned how to coordinate infantry and artillery, otherwise the government forces would have been unable to resist and would not even have had the chance to engage in street fighting.
Amid the sound of gunfire, Lei Zhen and the parrot rested under the shelter for several hours until dawn.
The entire city of Nia fell into deathly silence. Only the sun rose slowly from the east as usual, telling everyone that a new day had begun.
As to whether it is hope or despair, I don’t know, because behind the rising sun lies a long night.
Lei Zhen stood up gently and tiptoed towards the command center.
This command post was even more rudimentary, without even any underground fortifications, just a row of foxholes.
The commander, his face covered in gunpowder, lay lazily in the paratrooper pit, squinting his eyes at the rising sun, looking extremely comfortable.
Seeing Lei Zhen coming, he nodded, but showed no intention of moving.
"This is a real treat," the commander said with emotion. "I've seen the sunrise many times in my life, but none as beautiful as today."
"It would be more poetic if I had a cigarette in my mouth."
Lei Zhen sat next to him and took out a cigarette and handed it to the other person.
"I don't smoke, thank you."
"I'll be happier if I smoke one."
"real?"
Lei Zhen didn't comment, lit a cigarette for the other person, then lay there enjoying the rare quietness, watching the sun jump out little by little.
"Getting married?" Lei Zhen asked.
He didn't ask the other person's name because it was meaningless.
In the end, apart from family members, no matter how good a name is, it is just a code name in the eyes of others to prove that he has been in this world.
"Three children," the commander said with a smile. "They're incredibly smart and adorable. I'd say they're the best children in the world, haha."
When talking about children, the commander smiled very kindly, and his eyes narrowed with the smile, as if he saw his children here.
"What does it feel like to get married?" Lei Zhen asked.
"Responsibility?" The commander thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, marriage doesn't feel that big of a feeling, but having children is a huge feeling... It's like your world has disappeared, and the rest of your life is all about your wife and children, your family."
Lei Zhen took a puff of cigarette. He didn't understand this feeling at all, but that didn't stop him from imagining it. Unfortunately, he couldn't imagine it.
"Hey, man, you have to cherish her." The commander pointed to the back and said, "Excellent soldier, the best girl."
"Of course, so I have to find a way to take her alive and leave this crazy country of yours."
"Haha, it's crazy, but if I leave..."
"I can take out the rebel artillery positions."
Hearing this, the commander stood up and looked at Lei Zhen with confusion in his eyes.
"You can take it down? One person?"
Up to now, the government forces have been losing ground in the battle of Niah and are stuck in a desperate situation. The main reason is that they have been absolutely suppressed by firepower.
If the rebels lose their artillery positions, it is unclear who will win because the government forces are more powerful.
"Of course, because I have this gun."
Lei Zhen brought the Barrett over and let the other party see its terrifying gun barrel.
"Last night, I used it to take out a rebel T55 tank. It was a big, aggressive one."
The commander had never seen Barrett, but he knew that a breakout from the east had been successful the previous night and that a rebel tank had stalled.
It turns out that this big guy did it.
"If we can truly destroy the rebel artillery positions, then we still have hope," the commander said with shining eyes. "At least we won't be suppressed too harshly, and we can hold out as long as possible until reinforcements arrive."
"Do you have a map?"
"have."
The commander took out a map of Nia City and spread it on the ground.
"This location," Lei Zhen said, pointing to a point on the west side of the map. "According to my assessment, the rebel artillery position has moved forward to here, approximately 2,100 meters from here. As long as I can advance 1,000 meters and occupy any position here, I can launch a precise sniper attack on the artillery position."
"1000 meters..."
The commander frowned, because one thousand meters to the west was too far. Many places had been occupied by the rebels, and it was almost impossible to move forward so far.
"There must be an ammunition depot next to the artillery position. I brought armor-piercing incendiary bombs—"
Lei Zhen took out an armor-piercing incendiary bomb and handed it to the other party.
"This type of bullet can instantly generate temperatures exceeding 3,000 degrees Celsius, which is enough to instantly detonate the rebels' ammunition depot. Without it, the artillery position would be useless."
The commander held the bullet and looked at it for a long time, his eyes changing. He understood what Lei Zhen meant, that he needed his men's cooperation.
"Can!"
This is an opportunity for the Commander to make a choice.
"What can you say?" Lei Zhen took the bullet and said with a smile, "I mean, sit here and watch the show and see how I take down the artillery position."
"As for you guys...with all due respect, with so few people like you, you'd be dead in 100 meters, not to mention advancing 1,000 meters, haha."
Lei Zhen laughed loudly, quite arrogantly!
