Chapter 16: Dream Battle

  Dream of War

  "Lin Yu!! Run!!!! Quick run!!!!"

  Lin Yu was awakened by a crazy shouting, he opened his eyes, but couldn't see anything. Where is this? Has the big snake stabbed him blind? However, he quickly reacted and found that there was something covering his face. He waved his hand and took off the cover from his face.

  That was an earthy yellow holographic helmet.

  Lin Yu stared at the helmet in front of him in surprise, this was the standard equipment of a large squad! Lin Yu lowered his head again and found that he was wearing a khaki camouflage uniform, with hand grenades, pistols, 01-style fully automatic rifles, magazine pouches, night vision devices, everything was complete!!

  What is this place? Didn't you just finish a night battle with the giant snake in Hannan under the cover of darkness? This...

  Lin Yu looked around and saw that everywhere was splashing shrapnel and endless yellow sand. Lin Yu quickly flipped over and hid in a depression. He skillfully opened the wireless radio and tuned to his team's channel.

  "Monkey? Ah!! Is Monkey there?" Lin Yu yelled into the walkie-talkie, the deafening sounds of gunfire and shrapnel piercing through the air making his voice even more shrill!!!

  "Lin Tao? I'm here! Defense*, 171, just on your left!!"

  "What the hell is going on?" Lin Yu slammed his hand on the clip, then stuffed it into the gun. "Who the hell can tell me what's going on here?"

  "Lintou, we've been ambushed!! Damn it!! I'll take him down!!" A familiar voice came through the intercom, Lin Yu's hand shook and his 01 rifle almost slipped out of his hands.

  "An elephant? My god, is an elephant still alive?"

  "Linthou, are you okay? The elephant has been doing great all along, damn it, he even snatched half of my rations yesterday." The monkey shouted while firing. "Eating so much, how can he not be alive?" After a burst of fire, the monkey quickly crouched and moved to another cover. Just as he had walked out twenty meters, the sound of a hand grenade explosion came from behind him. He rolled on the ground and dodged into a group of rocks. "Linthou! Are you okay? I just saw you got stunned by the hand grenade, see if you're missing any parts?"

  "Off with your head!! Damn it, how can you still be in the mood for jokes at a time like this!! Lin was in high spirits, his mind had only one thought!! The elephant is not dead!! The elephant has not died yet!!!

  Lin remembered that 8 months ago, in the final battle with the Eastern Turkestan terrorist organization on the northwest border, the elephant sacrificed himself to cover Lin. He could never forget the eyes of the elephant before his sacrifice!! Those were a pair of eyes full of trust and concern.

  Now, the fact in front of me is that the elephant is still alive!!! Has time flowed backwards? Have I traveled through time? No, none of these matter. Whether it's Yao Jing or Chen Yun, those memories left in my mind have become unimportant all at once.

  Since the elephant is still alive, this time, no matter what, he can't let it die again!! Lin pulled out a hand grenade and threw it high, accurately flying into the opposite position.

  Lin felt as if he had heard the sound of high-explosive shrapnel tearing through human flesh. The sound was so familiar that it made his blood boil, a man who had once distanced himself from the battlefield.

  "What a great throw! Elephant, look at Lin's grenade toss, and then take a look at yourself."

  "Shut up!! Don't give me any nonsense!!" The elephant retorted, leaning against the bunker and setting up his small mirror. He observed the situation on the other side through the reflection while calmly raising his gun to fire!!

  This is the elephant's ultimate move, which can hit any object within 500 meters just by using the rearview mirror. This ultimate skill allowed him to survive one after another in the cruel war.

  This time is no exception, after such a long exchange of fire, he didn't even break the skin. Now he only needs to guard against those suddenly appearing shrapnel. The elephant hiding behind the cover is almost blind shooting, and it doesn't fear the opponent's direct shot at all.

  Lin and Wei poked their heads out, observing the surrounding situation. As he remembered, the camp had been raided by the enemy, and the 23 members of the first squad of the A team were divided among several positions, unable to organize effective firepower. Among them, the east side where Lin was located was the most critical. On this 20-meter-long bunker position, only three people, Lin, Da Xiang, and Hou Zi, were defending, relatively speaking, the pressure on the other positions was lighter.

  Those Eastern Turkic elements seemed to have seen the difficulties of Lin and several others, taking the eastern position as a breakthrough, and madly attacking this side.

  Lin and the three others relied solely on their accurate marksmanship to hold off the enemy's charge.

  But this is not a solution. As time slips away, Lin and his men are exhausting their physical strength, more importantly, the ammunition cannot guarantee their saturated fire forever.

  The situation may soon deteriorate.

  "Frog!!!!"

  "Arrived! Lin Tou!! How's your situation?"

  "It's really bad over there, are there still a few brothers on your side?"

  "Linthou, I have 5 more mobile ones here, and 2 are injured, very seriously, can only be carried on the back."

  "Great!! Hold on, we can't fall back at this time!" Lin Yu's gun accurately hit an enemy's forehead. He wiped the dust off his face and retreated back into cover again.

  "Attention all small squads, leave one person and sufficient ammunition to delay time on the east, south and west sides! All remaining mobile wounded personnel gather at the northern position!!! We will break through from the north!!!"

  "Lin Tao!!!!! What about the brothers who stayed behind?"

  "Oh my!!! Now one can run is one!!! I'll take care of the east side, you frogs, break through and then you command!!"

  "Lin Tao!! Not allowed!!" was the voice of the elephant, his heavy breathing made Lin and others feel the airflow from his mouth through the intercom!! "Everyone's breakthrough still relies on your command, how can we do without a leader?"

  "Fart!! We've practiced tactics, don't tell me you forgot!!" Lin Yu shouted excitedly!! In his memory, it was because they left behind the elephant to cover their retreat that he sacrificed himself in this vast desert of the northwest. This time, Lin Yu would rather die himself than lose this comrade again!!

  Let me be selfish for once!! Lin thought secretly in his heart, I'll leave the extreme pain of losing a comrade for you to enjoy!!

  "Get out, get out now!! This is an order!!!"

  Lin saw the elephant looking in his direction from afar, and vaguely saw tears in the eyes of the elephant and the monkey. He didn't know why he could see so clearly, but just smiled slightly. "Remember to send a signal after breaking through!!"

  The elephant and the monkey left Lin Yu three clips, plus his own, he had 120 rounds of ammunition in his hand. In addition to this, he also had five high-explosive grenades in his hand.

  "Which comrades stayed behind?"

  "West, flea."

  "Haha, Lin Tou, didn't expect that, did you? The south side is where your most hated loach stayed behind with you, haha."

  Two familiar voices came from the intercom. The first team had only twenty-three people, and every single one of them was a good brother to Lin Yu!!!

  Flea, like Lin Yu, was an orphan and had a introverted personality since childhood. He was also the least talkative one in the big squad. However, he who had the shortest tenure was also the one who could endure the most hardships. Lin Yu admired this 21-year-old new recruit the most, as he could always see his own shadow in Flea. Now, Flea's choice was the same as Lin Yu's. Amidst the sorrow, Lin Yu felt a sense of comfort. A true warrior is one who bravely sacrifices his life for his comrades!!!

  As for the mud loach's stay, I was shocked in my memory. This old soldier who usually trains and knows how to flatter, likes to fawn on horse buttocks, and has a belly full of wild ambitions, actually agreed to stay behind, which really surprised Lin Yu. However, now that Lin Yu has already experienced it once, he didn't have any surprise in his heart at all. This person who may not be likable usually, told everyone who had ever looked down on him that he is a man!!! A real man!!!!!

  "Fleas, loaches!! Thank you guys!!! Do you still remember what I told you when you entered the A team?"

  "Of course I remember, you were drafted later than me, yet you're acting like some kind of elder brother..." Mudskipper said discontentedly.

  This time Lin felt no disgust, but instead found that the muddy words were full of lovely flavors.

  "Yes, at that time I was pretending a bit, but what I said at that time is forever remembered in my heart!!"

  "We remember too!!!!"

  A disordered roar came from the walkie-talkie!!!!! That was the teammate who broke through and left!!!!!

  "Once we enter A Corps, we are no longer ourselves!! From today on, we are inseparable brothers who will live and die together!! Brothers!!!"

  Lin and Qiang held back their own tears, shouting loudly with their teammates.

  "Brother!! Brother!!! From today on, I'll take a stand for you against any difficulty, and block death for you!!! Brothers!!! Lin Yu ( Flea, Loach) will nail it here today!!!! You guys go ahead!!!!!"

  "Lin Tou (mudskipper, flea) go well, , , go well ....."

  Lin clearly heard that the voices of his sworn brothers were all choked with sobs, and wasn't he himself?

  "Flea!! Loach!! Today, with our guns and blood, we'll bless those brothers who are breaking through to a smooth journey!!!"

  Lin pulled the bolt back heavily and people had already flashed out. At that moment, the gun in his hand fired with a burst of fire, sweeping away a large area!!!

  "Kill!!!!!!!!!!"
