Chapter 11: Heroes Without Fear: Perseverance and Glory in the Flames of War
On the snow-covered border, several helicopters slowly landed beside the sentry post, emitting a huge roar. The rotors of the helicopters whipped up gusts of wind, blowing the snow on the ground in all directions. The injured soldiers, such as Sun Nan and Ge Rongbin, were carefully lifted onto the planes. Their bodies were full of marks of battle, and the blood stains looked particularly shocking against the backdrop of the snow.
A colonel solemnly and loudly instructed the pilots: "The wind is too strong and it's too dangerous. When you go down the mountain, you must be extremely careful. By all means, protect their safety. They are all heroes of the country!" His voice was firm and powerful, spreading far in the wind and snow. The pilot immediately saluted and responded loudly: "Yes, sir. Don't worry. We know!" His eyes revealed a firm determination.
Watching the planes slowly ascend, the colonel then turned and walked towards Li Hui. Li Hui promptly saluted and shouted: "Chief of Staff Luo!" The colonel nodded slightly, his expression still serious: "Regarding today's incident, inform your subordinates that not a word is allowed to be leaked outside. Before we figure out the cause of this incident, it must be kept absolutely confidential!" Li Hui immediately saluted and responded: "Yes! Please rest assured, Chief of Staff. We will absolutely abide by the confidentiality code!"
The colonel gently sighed and said with emotion: "Today, it's truly a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for these two soldiers who pursued regardless of their lives, we would have lost the face of our country!" Li Hui's eyes were full of admiration and said: "Yes! They are true soldiers!"
Time passed slowly and the sky gradually brightened. At the headquarters of the Southeast Military Region, a military vehicle was like a roaring beast, speeding like lightning to the office building. Before the vehicle completely stopped, a major general hurriedly jumped out of the car and rushed upstairs in a hurry.
"Boom boom boom!" The major general came to the office door and knocked. "Come in!" The voice of the military region commander Gao Shiwei came from inside. The major general pushed the door open, stood at attention and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the commander, Zhao Rushan, the commander of the Border Defense Military Sub-region, reports to you!"
Gao Shiwei looked up at him and said calmly: "What's the matter? Speak."
Zhao Rushan put down his hand and immediately began to report: "Commander, in the early morning yesterday, a group of armed men tried to force their way across the border. After being discovered, they also launched an attack on our border guards! According to our investigation, all these armed men are notorious mercenaries internationally and have committed numerous crimes in various countries around the world."
Gao Shiwei frowned and a trace of worry showed in his eyes.
Zhao Rushan continued: "After the incident, Ge Rongbin, the platoon leader of the border guards stationed nearby, and soldier Sun Nan, fearless of difficulties and dangers, took the initiative to pursue the enemy deep into the snow-capped mountains..." Zhao Rushan detailed the entire fierce battle process of Sun Nan and Ge Rongbin chasing and killing the enemy.
Gao Shiwei listened with knitted brows and unconsciously sweated in his palms. Until the end, when he heard that all the mercenaries were annihilated and Sun Nan and Ge Rongbin were also safely sent onto the helicopters, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that they are fine."
Gao Shiwei took a deep breath and showed an appreciative expression on his face: "These two soldiers are both excellent. This is the true soldier of the Dragon Kingdom! They must be heavily rewarded and given great merits!"
Zhao Rushan straightened his chest and solemnly said: "Commander, guarding the border is the duty of our border guards. We are the first and also the most important wall of the motherland. Anyone who attempts to violate our country's territory and cross the border must pay with their lives!"
"Well said!" Gao Shiwei excitedly stood up from the chair, "Anyway, the spirit of their tenacious pursuit and brave fighting against the enemy is worth our learning. I decide to set them as role models and promote them throughout the entire army! Especially the officers of all ranks in the army, they should learn from them well!"
Zhao Rushan lowered his head and sighed slightly: "Setting role models is a good thing, but unfortunately..."
