When the captain left without saying a word, the powerful sniper rifle directly broke his heart.
A large amount of blood was soaked in his chest. Henry and York, who were huddled behind the tree, heard the clang of the book while the captain stared at them intently!
They didn't know what fell, but the footsteps were getting farther and farther. Both of them knew that the Longyan soldiers who had killed thirteen of them and the captain retreated.
"We just had a chance to attack!"
York broke the silence, looked at Henry and said.
Henry didn't say a word, after taking away the badge that represented the captain's identity and the roster on his body.
He gave a military salute to his savior, and then buried the captain.
He was familiar with all this, and it was obviously not the first time he had done this kind of thing.
He marked the captain's grave so that his troops could take them back home after returning to the army.
Henry and York withdrew to their bases.
When they returned to their position, Henry and York were dumbfounded. Their position was in ruins.
There were corpses of his comrades on the ground.
If there were still troops alive, they would have retreated from here long ago, on the dangerous battlefield.
Especially two ordinary British soldiers who were completely unfamiliar with the terrain and fell behind!
What is the scariest thing, this is the scariest thing!
"Henry, what should we do now?"
Without his troops, York had no idea what to do.
Henry, who wanted to go home, didn't know what to do next.
Although he has been in the army for a long time, Henry has experienced many wars, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.
The instructors who trained them when they joined the army only told them.
"If you are dispersed by the enemy, remember not to surrender. The troops will find ways to find you. Maybe you can find the troops yourself."
And Henry knew that those soldiers who lost contact with the main force were never seen again.
As for where these people went, he didn't know.
But what is certain is that these people are all treated as missing without exception.
"York, what should we do if our people can't find us? Will we be treated as missing?"
York is also afraid that if they are treated as missing, not only will they not be able to get subsidies, they may even be branded as deserters.
York also felt panic, because if they were treated as missing soldiers, they would not only lose their subsidies, but they might also be severely punished, or even labeled as deserters. York should return to the army as soon as possible to avoid these risks.
On the destroyed position, York and Henry looked around at the vastness, completely lost. They realized that their current situation was very dangerous and felt confused and uneasy. The lack of connection between the surrounding environment and the destroyed position made it impossible for them to start.
York looked at Henry and found that his face was a little pale. He understood that he must act immediately, otherwise he might face a disaster more terrible than the enemy.
York carefully took Henry's hand and stood there trying to gather his thoughts. He knew they needed to find a way out, but the world in front of him seemed strange and dangerous. They didn't know if there were any objects around to help them find their way, or if there were any other survivors.
York's heart felt heavy, but he knew he couldn't just sit there. He cheered up and told Henry that he could find a way out, as long as they worked together and supported each other. They hugged each other, encouraged each other, and tried to find the direction to survive.
After a while, York suddenly remembered that there was a bush near their previous position. Maybe they can get out from there. Without thinking too much, he walked in that direction, holding Henry's hand, silently praying that they could escape safely.
Although it was still early, the sky was already dark because of the trees in the jungle. York and Henry's eyes became darker and darker, and their steps became heavier and heavier. They know they still have a long way to go, but their bodies are already starting to feel tired and weak.
They kept walking through the dark jungle, holding on to their tired bodies to find the way forward. York led the way. Although he also felt tired, he knew that the situation at hand required him to stay awake and alert. He would occasionally stop and survey his surroundings, looking for any clues that might help them find a way out.
Henry followed York silently, panting from time to time to express his physical exhaustion and discomfort. But he had no complaints, he knew they had to keep going. He felt that they had each other's support, and his heart was filled with courage and hope.
Finally, after walking continuously for a long time, York and Henry no longer felt so tired. Their condition gradually improved and they began to have some fighting spirit. They move on, looking for a way to survive.
Suddenly, a faint light came from the front, and the two of them couldn't help but turn pale with shock. They realize that they are now on the front line of a battlefield, where danger is everywhere. At this time, whether the light that appeared in the jungle came from the enemy or had other unknown reasons, the two began to think uneasily.
As they moved closer, the two became more and more aware of the source of the light, and a wooden house appeared in their eyes. What surprised them even more was that this wooden house was actually built just a few steps away from the battlefield, which made them make many uneasy guesses: Who would build a wooden house in such a dangerous location? Could it be the enemy, or the arrival of their savior? These thoughts make them more nervous and uneasy.
They stopped and cautiously approached the cabin. They tried to scan their surroundings and did not want to fall into an enemy ambush. They were alert, waiting for an opportunity to find a way out.
Just as they entered the wooden house, suddenly a woman came out with a pot of steaming boiling water. When she saw the two people, she was so frightened that she turned pale!
"ah!"
"Don't scream!"
York said fiercely!
Henry looked at the woman, calmed down and told her: "Don't be afraid, we are soldiers of Britain and we won't do anything to you."
"I'd be very grateful to you if you could let us stay here for one night."
The woman looked at the musket in his hand and did not dare to move it, but she did not agree.
Henry glanced at the musket in his hand and quickly threw it to the ground. At the same time, he also suppressed York's musket, signaling not to let him mess around.
The woman was relieved after seeing both men put down their muskets.
She swallowed and told the two of them: "We have no more room in our house."
"Sorry, I can't take you in."
However, while he was speaking, a bandaged man in the room was observing everything quietly, but his hand had already been pressed to the gun.
