The sky gradually gets brighter, and the white fish belly appears in the east.

Near the border, the colonel looked at his watch, his face full of anxiety: "Why haven't you come back yet?"

The chief of staff next to him asked: "It stands to reason that they should arrive at three o'clock in the morning at the latest. Is there anything going on?"

The colonel frowned, feeling uneasy.

If it's on your own territory, you can send someone over at any time.

But this is a no-no zone, and they can neither pass through nor ask anyone for help.

After all, this was a secret operation. Without receiving an order, they could only bite the bullet and continue to wait.

The colonel sighed: "It should be okay."

"Their entire regiment has gone. How many people can there be in those armed groups? Don't forget that the Tiger Regiment is the number one in the southwest, and its combat power is beyond the comparison of those ragtag groups!"

The chief of staff frowned: "But even the special forces were trapped by those guys. What is the concept of special forces? They are the elite of the elite. The fact that the militants can trap them means that there are definitely a lot of them!" "

"It is true that the Tiger Regiment is the best in the southwest, but no matter how powerful it is, it is still a conventional force."

"If they go out in tanks and armored vehicles, there's nothing to worry about, but they are infantry after all."

The colonel had a sullen face and thought for a moment: "If there is still no news in half an hour, report it to your superiors immediately. You must know what happened over there!"

The people around him nodded and once again cast their expectant eyes into the distance.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The sky is completely bright and the sun is gradually rising from the east.

The chief of staff looked at the time: "The time is up, please contact me quickly."

The colonel nodded and asked for the satellite phone.

This operation is directly linked to the headquarters.

He quickly dialed the phone and prepared a dedicated line to contact the commander.

The atmosphere in the headquarters office was solemn.

Xu Qianshan sat on the chair, frowning.

Sitting across from him were two deputy commanders and Captain Jing Jian of Shura.

Even though I was in the office, I was still very anxious and nervous.

Jing Jian was worried that something might happen to them and had requested to lead the team many times, but was rejected by the commander.

A lot of people had already been sent there, but once more people were sent there, the nature and meaning changed.

Failure to do so will lead to huge misunderstandings and even major international disputes.

If someone is taking advantage of it, rumors will be spread that our combat effectiveness is not good enough, that we cannot even rescue the hostages, and that we are sending troops one after another.

By then, our army will become the laughing stock of everyone, and Southwest will be discrediting the entire army and the country!

At this moment, the phone on the table rang suddenly.

Everyone stood up immediately, eyes fixed on the phone.

Xu Qianshan took a deep breath and decisively picked up the phone.

A report came immediately from the other end: "Reporting to the chief, I am..."

Hearing the name, Xu Qianshan was slightly excited: "How is it over there? Are they back?"

The colonel shook his head: "Chief, you haven't shown up so far. I'm worried that something will happen. Do you want to send someone in to check?"

The others all came together and looked at Xu Qianshan closely.

Xu Qianshan also secretly clenched his fists.

It's already much later than the scheduled time. Could something really happen?

Although he wanted to take the overall situation into consideration, the life of every soldier was much more important than the face of the war zone.

Xu Qianshan didn't hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "Immediately organize two platoons of troops, remove all identity marks for me, take people over immediately, and report to me if there is any situation!"

"Yes, Chief!"

The colonel just nodded and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped: "Report to the chief, they are back!"

Xu Qianshan's eyes widened: "You're back?"

Hearing these three words, the three people next to them all breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces: "Finally back!"

"They are coming this way, I will go to greet them immediately and report to you later!"

"Okay, okay, go quickly, go quickly, and see what's going on!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qianshan breathed a long sigh of relief, stared at the three of them with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "They are back, and the mission should be completed."

The three of them nodded, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

As long as they can return safely, that is more important than anything else.

On the other side, the colonel put down the phone and led people to rush to the border.

From a distance, I saw a large group of people on the opposite side, rushing towards this side.

The colonel saw from a distance that they were carrying many stretchers, and he immediately shouted to the people around him: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, ambulances are ready, medical staff, health soldiers, come here quickly!"

The door of the ambulance that had been waiting here opened.

A large number of medical staff wearing red cross armbands jumped out of the car and rushed in that direction carrying stretchers.

A moment later, Lin Hui and the others rushed across the boundary and shouted at the colonel: "They need emergency treatment, save them quickly!"

The colonel hurriedly commanded: "Quick, save people first, save people first!"

The medical staff went up to pick the person up, put him gently on a professional stretcher, and rushed towards the ambulance.

Lin Hui watched Wang Chen and Xu Da being put into the ambulance at the same time, and rushed over.

He suddenly grabbed a medical captain and shouted: "These two people must be saved, we must not let them die!"

The captain was stunned for a moment and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, chief, this is our responsibility, and we will do our best to treat him!"

Lin Hui nodded and then helped close the ambulance door when a noise came from beside him.

"No, don't take them away!"

"We still have to take them home, we can't treat them like this!"

Lin Hui turned his head suddenly and found that Wang Yong and his group were blocking several ambulance personnel from passing by.

And the two sacrificed soldiers were carried tightly on their shoulders, and no one was allowed to get close.

Lin Hui's heart trembled violently and he immediately stepped forward.

Seeing him coming, Wang Yong's eyes turned red: "Brother Hui, they are going to take people away!"

Others were also excited: "Deputy leader, Ding Wen and Xiao Zhuangzhuang are our brothers, we can't let them take them away casually!"

Many people at the scene had red eyes and shed tears.

Several health soldiers stood there, looking at Lin Hui at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Lin Hui took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Let them take it away."

Some soldiers cried and shouted: "Deputy commander, no, we can't let them take away our brothers, we still have to... no"

Lin Hui yelled: "Let them go!"

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Lin Hui gritted his teeth and said sadly: "They have already sacrificed their lives, let them go with dignity, okay?"

"These comrades will take good care of their bodies and will not let them leave in embarrassment covered in dust. They will let our brothers leave cleanly and with dignity!"

Everyone looked at the two bodies covered in blood again.

One of them was blown to pieces.

The other hand and arm were severed.

Everyone felt pain in their hearts and felt that their breathing was becoming difficult.

Lin Hui waved and said to several health soldiers: "What are you still doing? Follow the order!"

Wang Yong and the others reluctantly put the two bodies on the stretcher and watched as several health soldiers pushed them into a car.

The moment the car door closes, there is a real separation between heaven and man.

Many people knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

Lin Hui turned his head silently, unable to bear to see this scene.

Soon, ambulances drove away urgently, and the piercing whistling sound gradually faded away.

Seeing the flickering lights in the distance completely disappear, Lin Hui sat down on the ground and gasped for air.

The others also slumped to the ground as if their bones had been knocked out, and everyone was breathing heavily.

The moment they set foot on the soil of their motherland, they could finally let go of all their guard.

At this moment, they felt endless fatigue coming over them, their whole bodies felt weak, and they were too tired to speak.

This mission is the most dangerous and thrilling one they have ever taken as soldiers.

Although the mission was successfully completed, they also paid a heavy price.

Two of my dearest comrades have been lost forever.

Everyone was tired and frustrated, and no one could be happy.

Some soldiers even leaned together and shed tears silently.

Several special forces soldiers knelt on the ground, looking at the ambulance that had long since disappeared in the distance, and tears could not stop falling from their eyes.

They have sacrificed more people, injured more people, and now even the captain's life or death is uncertain.

Everyone's nerves are almost broken.

Lin Hui glanced over, and his heart slowly began to tighten.

During the battle, they were not allowed to think too much. Everyone just thought about completing the mission and bringing back all the hostages and wounded soldiers.

But at the moment when the mission ended, that uncomfortable feeling flooded into everyone's heart like an endless tide.

As the deputy commander, he is the commander of the battle.

He was sadder than anyone else and blamed himself.

If he had arrived at the battlefield earlier, if he had been more vigilant, maybe this wouldn't have been the case.

The colonel shouted from the side: "Quick, give them water and food!"

People around brought milk, bread and water that had been prepared long ago.

"Brother, let's eat something."

"I'm exhausted, drink some water."

"Drink some milk and replenish your strength."

Everyone just raised their eyelids and looked at it, then silently lowered their heads.

No one reached out, no one went to get food.

No one even responded.

Everyone was in so much pain that they couldn't eat anything.

They hate that the person they cannot sacrifice is themselves, not others.

The two comrades who had been fighting with them day and night had closed their eyes forever.

They can no longer eat, drink, or even feel the temperature of the human world...

The colonel felt sad, and his eyes began to turn red.

They are all soldiers, and he can experience emotions that ordinary people cannot understand.

If he was the one who led the team out today and came back with the bodies of his comrades, he would probably be even more broken and uncomfortable.

The colonel walked to Lin Hui silently without saying anything. He patted his shoulder with his right hand and held it tightly.

Lin Hui's nose felt sore, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

At this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Thank you."

Lin Hui slowly turned his head and saw the seven hostages walking behind him at some point.

The two girls had tears on their faces and gratitude in their eyes.

The other five were equally grateful.

The eldest man said to Lin Hui sincerely: "Thank you very much, thank you to the soldiers who saved me in the first place. Without you, we would have died outside."

The man next to him wiped his tears: "Not only did we die outside, our relatives at home may not even be able to see our bodies."

The two men bowed deeply towards Lin Hui.

Several other rescued hostages also bent at [-] degrees and bowed deeply.

They solemnly said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you Yanguo People's Liberation Army!"

Lin Hui's tears could no longer stop and flowed hotly down his cheeks.

He quickly turned his head, not wanting anyone to see him.

Looking at the sky in the distance, he muttered in his heart: "Did you hear that? The people are thanking you. Our efforts are worth it!"
