Ye Han raised his hand to return the salute. Facing these comrades who had returned from the enemy, he suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart.
Over the years, he has always been fighting on the front line, but he has long passed the age of passion. He claims to be fighting for the country, the nation, and the survival of mankind, but in reality?
Others don't know, but he knows in his heart that he is doing it for himself and his family... If he didn't have the status of a soldier, if he didn't have those life-and-death experiences, he and his family would definitely not be treated as well as they are now. It is very likely that
Like the most ordinary residents of the fortress city, they lead a monotonous and repetitive life every day, with neither enough to eat nor starvation.
Indeed, Ye Han can comfort himself by saying that only when you have a family, you will have a country. No matter what the reason for fighting, you have been fighting against aliens for so many years. The starting point is different but the end point is the same.
Ye Han is indeed qualified to say this to other people, because he fought hard for it.
But facing Tao Chengyu and the other bugs who fought desperately to break out of the enemy's nest, Ye Han had no shame or qualification to say this...
To put it bluntly, if you carefully calculate Ye Han's achievements over the years, I'm afraid that if all the bugs in front of you are added together, the number of enemies killed by Ye Han alone is not as much as that of Ye Han alone. But that's not how the accounts are calculated.
In terms of performance, Ye Han is definitely stronger, but in terms of motivation? What makes the insect man in the enemy's lair persist until now?
Benefit?
Maybe there is!
Hatred?
must have!
oath?
might have!
Belief?
Maybe there is...
Ye Han suddenly remembered the words in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: No one knows your names, but your achievements will last forever.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his thoughts were different from before, but he couldn't tell what exactly was different.
Ye Han wanted to say something to these soldiers who had returned from the calamity, but he was full of words and didn't know what to say.
At this moment, he suddenly received a communication from Luo Qi: "Captain, the bug is coming!"
Ye Han's heartfelt emotion dissipated instantly: "What's the number? How far away is it?"
"There are a lot of them, and there are still two kilometers left."
"Okay, I'll be there soon!" After the communication, Ye Han raised his head and said, "The bugs are coming, I have to go!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back without waiting for anyone to speak.
Tao Chengyu followed up in a few steps: "Chief, let me go with you. I am an insect farmer and I am familiar with them!"
Ye Han paused, nodded and said, "Okay, come with me."
The two people walked quickly and returned to the cave entrance after a while.
Ye Han leaned behind the bunker and looked out: "How is the situation?"
"We are approaching, there are still 1,400 meters to go!" Luo Qi turned around and happened to see Tao Chengyu, and nodded as a greeting.
Tao Chengyu twitched his lips in response.
Ye Han looked at the swarm of insects: "Is there any news from Beiyuezhou?"
"No!"
Ye Han took two steps back and gave up the limited space at the entrance of the cave to the soldiers responsible for guarding here: "Organize troops to guard a wave. After a while, there will be more bugs, and then contact the higher authorities for support!"
"yes!"
Tao Chengyu couldn't help but said: "Chief, what can I do?"
Ye Han said without hesitation: "As long as it doesn't affect the battle, you can do whatever you want. If you have any suggestions, you can also make them... Also, pay attention to the orders."
"Yes!" Tao Chengyu agreed immediately.
Ye Han was just about to take a look at the situation outside, but at this juncture, he received a communication from Beiyuezhou!
When the signal was connected, Wu Han immediately appeared on the screen: "Ye Han, how is the situation there?"
"The bugs have started to attack again. I plan to defend for a while and then apply for support when there are more bugs!"
Wu Han nodded: "I have already reported your opinion to the superiors, but after comprehensive consideration, the superiors still hope that you can send the prisoners out as soon as possible!"
Ye Han's face twitched: "Chief, there is really nothing we can do now..."
Wu Han waved his hand: "Listen to me. In view of the actual situation there, there is no specific time specified above. It only requires you to hurry up. The opportunity is up to you. If you need cooperation or support, you can ask for it!"
Ye Han was slightly startled: "I understand...Commander, otherwise, the initial plan is to take the water route, which is faster. We will wait until the bugs are defeated..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Han had already shaken his head: "The waterway is impassable."
Ye Han was stunned: "Why?"
Wu Han said: "Maybe the water has poured into the enemy's nest. You said that the river is almost drying up."
"Ah?" Ye Han couldn't believe his ears, "The enemy's nest isn't that big, how could it be possible..."
"We don't understand either, but there is indeed no water in the river. We don't know when it will be restored. You can either wait or go overland. These are the two options."
Ye Han said: "If the situation permits, it is not impossible to take the land route, but walking on two feet is too slow. It is better to wait for the river water to recover... Commander, can you think of a way to transfer a group of planes to my people? Or drop one by air?
You can also arrange transportation."
"It can't be done for the time being." Wu Han said, "The Qiongzhou base is the closest to you, but there are no planes there at all. The navy has suffered heavy losses, and it is impossible to support you, let alone transfer planes from the mainland. Not only is it a long way, but
It’s not safe along the way.”
Ye Han smiled bitterly: "Oh, I really hope there is a secret passage now. It would be even better if it could lead all the way to the Qiongzhou base!"
Wu Han's lips moved but he didn't smile: "It's up to you."
After the communication ended, Ye Han looked at the time and wanted to get through the Languan's communication: "Bridge, do you have a paratrooper vehicle there?"
"Paratrooper vehicle?"
"Yes, the kind that can be airdropped!" Ye Han said.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart that the current captain was really a bit amateur and not as professional as Lin Yi.
"Yes, there are twelve cars in total!"
"Very good, be prepared. When we arrive in Qiongzhou later, we will airdrop the paratrooper vehicle. I will send you the coordinates later!"
"Languanhao understands!"
Ye Han breathed a sigh of relief: "Where is Qi Jingwen? Come to my place!"
Qi Jingwen quickly rushed to Ye Han and glanced at Tao Chengyu curiously.
Ye Han said: "The current situation is a bit complicated. Our superiors ordered us to send the prisoners out as soon as possible. I originally planned to withdraw everyone together, but conditions do not allow it now, so I plan to lead the special service team to take the prisoners and leave first, Qi Jingwen!"
"arrive!"
"Tao Chengyu!"
"arrive!"
"I don't want to leave you behind, but I've already told you the situation. I need you to stick here like nails to attract the enemy's attention. One is to create conditions for annihilating the insect swarm, and the other is to cover our secret crossing into Chencang. You understand me.
Do you mean it?"
"Understood!" Qi Jingwen said, "Commander, you can rest assured that we will complete the task!"
Tao Chengyu also said: "Chief, I have no problem!"
