After everyone dispersed, Gao Lie was pulled aside by the political commissar and looked at him with inquiring eyes: "Did Xue Ying have a quarrel with you?"
Gao Lie was slightly startled, wiped away the snow on his eyelids, and frowned, "Has she caused trouble for you again?"
Gao Lie received a punch on the shoulder. Because he was unprepared, he staggered before he regained his balance. He quickly raised his head and looked at the political commissar who suddenly became resentful in surprise, "Old Han?"
Han Wei rolled his eyes angrily, poked Gao Lie's nose with his index finger, pointed in the direction of the shooting range filled with snow and fog, and said, "Go and see for yourself."
Without waiting for Gao Lie to speak, Han Wei turned his back and strode away.
Gao Lie rushed to the shooting range and looked from a distance. There was only a black figure lying motionless on the slippery muddy ground in the center of the field. Although it was a bit far away, he recognized it at a glance. That person was Gong Xue.
In addition to Gong Xue, there were also soldiers who managed firearms and ammunition at the shooting range hiding under the eaves to accompany him.
He strode over. When the little soldier saw him, a flush of excitement appeared on his face that was numb and confused by the wind and snow, "Captain!"
He waved his hand to indicate that the soldiers did not need to salute. He pointed at the figure in the center of the field and asked, "What's going on?"
The little soldier looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide: "Captain..."
Gao Lie tried his best to suppress his temper: "Speak quickly!"
"Yes! Today, a squadron came to the shooting range for snow sniper training. Xue Ying thought that his performance was not good, so he asked for additional training. The squadron leader agreed... Just..." The little soldier said this in one breath, and paused.
Stop and look at Gao Lie's face quietly...
Gao Lie clenched his fists, with a slightly stern expression on his face. He glanced at the people on the field and asked, "Report your results!"
The little soldier groaned, then reacted and reported loudly: "The 200-meter head target, the 800-meter chest target were all excellent, and the 200-meter moving target, one shot missed the target's eyebrows by half a centimeter, and was deemed unqualified by Snow Eagle!"
Gao Lie closed his eyes, and a drop of snow water slid down his cheek, like tears flowing from his eyes.
Gong Xue lay quietly on the shooting range, looking at the target in the distance. There was silence between heaven and earth. Snowflakes penetrated into the gaps between her fingers and collar with the cold wind, making the skin that had been stiff and numb from the cold become even colder.
Set, aim, shoot, close the gun...
Another set of hearty shooting movements, done in one go, with a smooth rhythm...
She breathed out gently, slowly closed her eyes, and waited for the target reporter to report her results.
"One shot hit the person, one shot hit the center of the eyebrow, and the remaining shots all hit the heart. There was no deviation, and the results were all excellent!" Suddenly, a familiar low-magnetic voice came from above the head...
She turned her head sharply, and her eyes, which were originally as dark as dead water, were filled with countless small flames.
She didn't speak, just stared at him. After a few seconds, she raised her head again, biting her lip, not knowing what she was thinking.
His shoulders were light, and immediately after, his whole body was lifted up from the ground.
The original color of the camouflage training uniform could no longer be seen. The muddy water kept falling as he stood, splashing on his feet and wetting his trouser legs.
She stared at Gao Lie like a class enemy.
Gao Lie remained silent, just looking at her quietly with his deep and contentful eyes.
"What are you looking at! Haven't you seen it before?" She turned around stubbornly, took off her military helmet, and held it in her hand.
Gao Lie took a step forward and wanted to put his hand on her shoulder, but she noticed and quickly moved away, "Don't touch me!!"
Gao Lie's hand was still stretched out in the air, and the falling snow stuck to the back of his hand, quickly turning into a pool of wet water.
"Xiaoxue, listen to me. It's not what you want..."
"Stop talking! I don't want to hear your inappropriate remarks...Yes, the Xilian Organization has irreconcilable conflicts and hatred with me, but so what, what does it mean, it means that I am completely
Isn't it a practical mission? Or you don't trust me at all and think I'm incompetent and will bring discredit on you and the brigade..." Her voice was high-pitched, and her eyes were full of repressed anger and misinterpreted heartache.
Gao Lie looked at her quietly, and after a while, he said: "When I can let you go into actual combat, I will naturally inform you." He could only say so much, the army is the army, and iron discipline is not hung on the wall.
It’s up to you to watch.
Such words will lose their effectiveness if heard too many times. Gong Xue sneered, turned around and wanted to leave, but he grabbed her arm, "Put on your hat, be careful not to catch a cold."
She shook his hand off hard and said in a cold voice, "You don't have to worry about it!"
She shouldered the gun and ignored the sigh that escaped the throat of the tall man behind her. She walked directly towards the little soldier under the eaves who actively faced the wall, and never looked back.
Gao Lie stood in the snow, looking at the stubborn and proud back, his lips gradually pursed into a thin line...
He knew that today's plan for the couple's reunion would be ruined again.
This mission, as she suspected, was another serious violent terrorist attack related to the Xilian Organization. At about 23:00 last night, several groups of unidentified thugs, masked and armed with long knives, successively attacked the government of a suburban county.
They not only killed people at the police station and four or five houses, but also set fire to police cars and houses. They killed young children and hung them in front of the government in public.
After receiving the mission, the Skyhawk Special Forces dispatched urgently. After a day and night of sustained and effective strikes, a total of 11 thugs were killed, 4 were injured and captured. However, even so, this brutal and bloody killing in a peaceful township still caused 30 deaths.
The serious consequences of the death of many ordinary people...
The reason why Gao Lie did not let Gong Xue participate in this actual combat mission was not because of her special relationship with the Xilian Organization, but from the perspective of a leader, he carefully and carefully looked at whether her ideological condition was suitable for taking on this important task.
He never denied Gong Xue's military qualities, just as he never doubted her character. He trusted her and could see her through at a glance. But it was precisely because he could see through and understand,
Therefore, he could look at her shortcomings with an objective attitude. What she lacked was not ability, but a mature mind.
Although she has endured unimaginable pain and toil in the past years, which has made her mature and sensible earlier than girls of the same age, these advantages do not mean that she can truly get rid of the shadow of the past and live a better life.
In the present. On the contrary, her stubbornness and persistence kept her immersed in painful memories, and her mind failed to truly become calm and strong. The clues can be seen from the way she does things, but she deliberately concealed them.
What is actual combat? Only those who have personally experienced actual combat are the most qualified to answer.
Before her heart is not strong enough, even if she is an unrelated warrior, he will not take the risk of sending her to the battlefield.
What's more, she is Gong Xue, the wife he has decided to care for his whole life.
He didn't allow himself to be negligent in the slightest and hurt her.
