Chapter 174: Take off the uniform

Looking at the five coffins in front of him, the voices, appearances and smiles of the five friends appeared clearly in Zhao Mu's mind, and he remembered the time he chatted with them and bragged.

In the face of war, life is so fragile that it only lasted for a few months, and five living lives disappeared silently. Zhao Mu's inner grief cannot be described in words.

The bright five-star red flag covered the coffin, as bright as fire and as bright as blood. This is the destination of the martyrs.

Due to the nature of the army, the sacrifices of the five friends cannot even be made public. There are only a few people who can attend their funerals, and the Chinese people do not even know the sacrifices that some people have made for their peace.

The greatness of life and the death of ordinary people is a portrayal of the majority of people who silently strive for the motherland.

The peace of the country is obtained by countless silent sacrifices and blood. There is no peace of time, it is just that someone is carrying the burden for us.

The coffin was buried, and everyone watched the coffin disappearing inch by inch. The suppressed sobs of the five families made Zhao Mu feel like a needle.

Seeing the coffin disappearing inch by inch, Zhao Mu's mind appeared in the faces of the group of people in the Venomous Snake Mercenary Group's revenge operation, and panic and desperate faces flashed quickly.

Thinking of the scenes of flesh and blood flying, the figure of the white elephant soldier sounded, the officer whose head was blown into rotten watermelon, the panicked military camp, and the panicked teams of white elephant soldiers.

Scenes flashed through my mind, and the breath on Zhao Mu's body became cold, his eyes were as deep as a wolf, and he thought to himself: "Brother, go well, you are not alone on the road, there are still many people accompanying you."

Five tombstones stand side by side, and their closest comrades in their lifetime are next to each other after their death.

There are no merits and achievements in life, no gorgeous rhetoric on the tombstone, only a few strokes including names. This is the destination of the special combatants, who are nameless during their lifetime and also nameless after their death.

The whole process is grand and simple, with only traces of the tombstone proving the existence of the five people.

After the ceremony, Zhao Mu was about to go and say a few words to the family of five friends, but they had already left under the escort of a team of soldiers, so Zhao Mu had to give up in disgrace.

The crowd began to disperse one after another, and Zhao Mu was also ready to leave.

"Zhao Mu, go and have a drink."

Looking back, it was Duan Peng.

"Okay, let's go."

"team leader……"

Tiedan and others looked at Duan Peng with a complicated expression.

With a wave of his hand, Duan Peng smiled and said, "Go back, I am so weak now. You can't do it. Please envy me."

"Captain, we are still waiting for you to come back..."

"Go and go, don't mess with me. It's rare for me to be so relaxed now. Get out of here and don't delay my drinking."

Zhao Mu discovered something was wrong. Duan Peng had no military uniform, which was just ignored by Zhao Mu.

"Duan Peng, you...?"

"Go and have a drink."

Looking at Duan Peng's pretending to be relaxed, Zhao Mu did not ask again, and the two walked out of the cemetery.

"Boss, give me a box of wine, Erguotou first."

Zhao Mu was shocked, "Duan Peng, are you crazy?"

Duan Peng smiled indifferently, "Brother, don't stop me today, let me have a good drink."

I looked at Duan Peng deeply, but there was a strong depression hidden under the relaxed smile on my face. The smile made me heartbreaking.

"Okay, I'll drink with you." Zhao Mu said in a deep voice.

"Boss, bring the wine and serve the food quickly."

"Come on, drink!"

With a few gurgles, Duan Peng simply dries all the bottle.

Zhao Mu frowned, "Drink slowly."

"It's okay, come and drink."

Within five minutes, after three bottles of wine were eaten, Duan Peng's face began to turn red quickly.

Yes, Zhao Mu didn't persuade him anymore, and he was going to drag someone away later.

After drinking more than half a pound of white wine, Duan Peng finally slowed down.

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Mu finally had the opportunity to speak, "I said, what's going on with you?"

With a bitter smile, Duan Peng pointed to his clothes, "Look, what did you see?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Mu didn't see anything, but soon thought that just now Duan Peng and his comrades were all wearing neat military uniforms, only he was wearing a black suit.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mu had an unknown premonition, "Duan Peng, you...?"

With a bitter smile, Duan Peng said dejectedly: "I am really not in office now, and I am no longer in military uniform."

Zhao Mu's body was shocked and he lost his voice: "How is this possible? How could this happen?"

Zhao Mu finally knew why Duan Peng was so depressed and had no chance of getting married. Obviously, Duan Peng was discharged from the army.

As a friend, Zhao Mu knew very well Duan Peng’s feelings for the army. His whole body and mind had already been placed in the army. It was no different from asking him to leave the army and asking him to give up his family.

Duan Peng smiled bitterly and said, "How is it impossible? There are twelve people in the team, five people were sacrificed and two were seriously injured. For such heavy losses, someone must be responsible for this."

"But this is not your command mistake. No one would have thought that the White Elephant Army would be so shameless and actually be inseparable from international mercenaries."

"Although that's the case, someone must be responsible for this matter. It's impossible to just pretend that nothing happened, and the dog and their family should also get an explanation."

Zhao Mu was silent. Thinking of the family of Gou Zi and the other five who had just seen, their swollen eyes, heart-wrenching crying, and their crumbling bodies, Zhao Mu didn't know what to say.

"Gudong." After another bottle of wine was eaten, Duan Peng smiled bitterly: "Okay, I can only give you an explanation to Gouzi and the other five."

Zhao Mu opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know where to start several times.

Explain?

Do you need to give an explanation? The warrior will inevitably die on the battlefield, which is inevitable. As the captain of the team, Duan Peng has no problem with his command. Does Duan Peng need to give an explanation?

But isn't it necessary? The five people who sacrificed are living lives, the pride and hope of their respective families, and they cannot be sacrificed in vain.

After a while of silence, Zhao Mu comforted: "Okay, this is a good thing. If you leave your troops, you will no longer have to be with death. Isn't this a good thing?"

"Haha, it's pretty good, it's pretty good."

Duan Peng smiled, but Zhao Mu could see his sadness from his expression.

I thought it was the place where you belonged to your life, but you put all your hopes on your own and left as soon as you said you left. Who can easily accept such reality?

The ideal that I have been struggling with for many years will be gone, so who can not be sad?
