City Marshal

The yellow leaves are blown away from the trees by the breeze, and fall sadly in the lonely emptiness. At this time, the Golden Triangle is full of coolness soaked in the bone marrow.

Walking on the road of the general headquarters, there are constant soldiers saluting him, absolutely obedient and respectful, he has become a hero in everyone's mind, and everyone casts admiring glances, but he is still not surprised by honor or disgrace Look, of course, this is what a commander should look like: calm, steady, with no emotion on his face.

Pushing open the door of the command post, and walking straight in, suddenly there was applause, the petals filled the sky, overflowing with joy, especially precious in the smoky battlefield, before Chu Tian could react, Sha Kun and Zhang Xiaoquan led the adjutant They greeted them, with excitement on their faces and uncontrollable excitement.

Sha Kun waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and sincerely praised: "Chutian, I shouldn't have come to the headquarters, but your performance today is really outstanding. The two victories have opened up the way for the Sha army to survive. This is a long-lost victory. Ah, I think, even if the Myanmar-Minor coalition forces completely attack Wenxinghe, we will not be afraid, we can retreat into Laoguo territory at any time."

Chutian waved his hands, and quickly responded humbly: "Mr. Sha has won the prize. It's not that Chutian is great, but the enemy is incompetent! More importantly, the victory was achieved by the soldiers working together, so what is Chutian's contribution?"

Sha Kun laughed heartily a few times, and then became serious: "Chutian, I originally wanted to wait for you to complete the victory before celebrating your victory, but now it seems that I don't have to wait that long, and it will be sooner or later to defeat the imperial government army." Things, I have full confidence in you, so I will award you two medals in advance!"

Speaking of this, Sha Kun walked up to two adjutants, both of them held exquisite brocade boxes in their hands. After gently opening, there was a purple medal in the left box, and a cross iron medal in the right box. Shining brightly, this is the highest honor medal of the Shajun Army:

Purple Heart Medal (representing important contributions made in the war);

Tears of Blood Medal (most kills in battle).

Chu Tian didn't understand their meanings, so he didn't have much reaction. Zhang Xiaoquan was a smart man, he smiled and briefly explained the meaning of the medals, and then laughed at himself: "Chu Tian, ​​you are so young and promising. The old bones have not fought as well as you for decades, I am old, I am old."

Zhang Xiaoquan's words have no complaints, all he has is approval. At his age, fame and fortune have long been looked down upon, but Chu Tian's enthusiasm and enthusiasm always remind him of his past, and gradually he has become acquainted with Chu Tian. Heaven acts as his shadow to reminisce, care for, and inspire.

After listening to Zhang Xiaoquan's explanation, Chu Tian waved his hands flattered: "Mr. Sha, Chu Tian feels ashamed for receiving this medal. If you really want to award it, please also wear it on meritorious soldiers, such as the commanders of the East, West, North and South Lines, Ah! Zha'er and the Bloodthorn team members, as well as the Paoying brothers and the dead soldiers!"

Sha Kun looked at Chutian, then turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaoquan: "Chief of Staff, you really are right. Chutian values ​​love and righteousness. He is a general who does not take credit for victory and is not discouraged. Don't worry, old man. Don't worry. Come on, Chutian, let me personally wear the medal for you, as other brothers will have it, don’t refuse.”

Azar and the others also said in unison: "Commander, you deserve it."

Chutian stood helplessly in front of Sha Kun.

"Our hero: Chutian, are you willing to fight to the end for the state of Shan?" Sha Kun asked, these are the words used in the award ceremony.

Although the state Shan State that Sha Kun established was not recognized by other countries, and was even cast aside by the United Nations, Sha Kun always regarded it as his lifelong wish and tried his best to maintain it, wanting to glow with glory. This is also his respect for opium. A big reason why attitudes go from fanaticism to sanity.

"Chutian, yes!" When Chutian said clearly, the two medals were pinned on the left chest of his clothes.

There was applause again around, and the soldiers shouted Chu Tian's name. Two victories allowed him to achieve such treatment. No wonder the honor has become something that the generals are fighting for, and they are fighting for it at all costs. However, Chu Tian This is different in Tian, ​​he has no aversion to honor or money, but he doesn't like to get it by the lives of soldiers.

Everyone knows that tonight must be a peaceful night. The coalition forces have suffered heavy losses, and the elite soldiers have not yet arrived, so they are unable to launch a night attack, so everyone seems a little relaxed. Chu Tian found a seat and sat down, his eyes just facing the battle. Map, with a slight movement in his heart, turned his head and said to Azhar: "Azhar, take Brother Bloodthorn to rest!"

Azar was slightly taken aback, and then became enthusiastic: "Should we attack again tonight?"

Capturing Lao Guo's commander and chief of staff alive made Azhar look very energetic, and he paid homage to Chu Tian even more. Now that he wants to wait for someone to rest, he knows that there must be a mission.

Seeing the nervousness of the crowd, Chu Tian quickly smiled slightly, and explained: "No attack, just harassment! I want the Burmese army and Lao Guo to be frightened, and quickly retreat back to their own territory."

Sha Kun and the others suddenly realized and nodded.

In the middle of the night, Azhar led the blood thorn team members forward lightly. First, he blasted the exhausted old troops who were recuperating with a few rocket launchers, making them think that the sand army had started to attack again, and retreated in an organized manner. More than a dozen blood thorns The team members took the opportunity to pursue and wiped out two squads of Lao Guo's troops.

After Lao Guo's troops withdrew more than ten kilometers away, Azhar and the others went around to the Burmese army barracks on the southern line. Now they planted landmines on the road, and then killed more than a dozen Burmese soldiers with sniper rifles, attracting the Burmese army to chase them into the small town. In the minefield, dozens of people were blown up before retreating quietly, and the Shajun artillery battalion bombed a few shells from time to time, shocking the nerves of the Burmese army.

Such tossing made the soldiers of the Burmese army extremely nervous, and even couldn't sleep at night.

The next day!

Just as Chu Tian expected, both the Burmese army and Lao Guo withdrew from the coalition camp on the grounds of heavy losses. Their foundation is weak, their economy is weak, and their population is small. Although the garrison of the Kingdom of China has added [-] elite soldiers, the number is still close to [-], but the retreat of Lao Guo and the Burmese army and the defeat of the two battles have made their morale low.

In the next few days, the garrison made tentative attacks, but they were all repelled by the heavy firepower of the sand army, causing heavy casualties. When the garrison was resting, the Shajun bombarded the garrison again, and occasionally sent small teams to harass the garrison late at night, making them miserable.

Wan Shoujiang, the interim commander of the garrison, was continuously criticized and reprimanded by the high command. Tens of thousands of regular troops were unable to defeat Sha Kun's mob. He personally flew to the front line to supervise the battle, accompanied by fifty tough Black Tiger members.

Of course, Admiral Levin also has a secret mission!

At this time, Chu Tian had withdrawn to the temporary general headquarters, playing chess and drinking tea with Zhang Xiaoquan every day, and occasionally reading telegrams. He firmly believed that as long as the front line followed the deployment, nothing would happen. If the sky makes the garrison tired, the garrison will be in a mess, and then they will use their trump card, and the government will demand peace talks.

At noon that day, Chu Tian and Zhang Xiaoquan drank tea under the tree.

The afternoon sun shines on the ground through the leaves, and the mottled light dances slowly with the cold wind.

Chu Tian has always been a person who knows how to find tranquility. At the forefront of the battlefield, he can steal half of the leisure and enjoy the gifts of nature. He seems very satisfied. He closes his eyes slightly and breathes the moist air, as well as the warmth of his cheeks, intoxicated. The expression is like a child who has just finished taking a bath and is waiting for his parents to dry his body, pure and optimistic.

Zhang Xiaoquan did not speak, sat up straight, held the purple sand teapot with his right hand, put his left hand on the body of the pot, and poured it slowly into the cup in front of Chu Tian, ​​the tea fell into the light blue cup steadily, with a tinkling sound It also exudes bursts of fragrance, and the faint heat slowly rises and then disappears.

Chu Tian opened his eyes, and sighed faintly: "I have stolen half a day's leisure!"

He can only enjoy this half-day leisure, and there are still many things to worry about in the future, such as the game confrontation with Jun Jun, the hatred of Madman Yao, the confrontation between Sha Qinxiu and Sha Cheng, the brothers as far away as the capital, and the hegemony of Shuai Jun. , the grievances of the Tang family, and a little further away is the secret of the nameless jade.

Zhang Xiaoquan filled Chutian with tea, then put down the purple sand teapot, and responded with a smile: "Our current half-day leisure is determined by strength. Without the desperate efforts of soldiers, I am afraid that we are now displaced. It’s all about survival of the fittest, always.”

Chu Tian nodded in agreement. What Zhang Xiaoquan said was the truth. In many cases, he didn’t say that he could keep safe by swallowing his anger. Without strength, there was always no security. He couldn’t protect his relatives, brothers, women, and himself. .

"Chutian, are you interested in staying in the Golden Triangle?" Zhang Xiaoquan said this casually.

Chu Tian was stunned, he couldn't figure out the meaning inside, raised his head and said, "The chief of staff said it directly!"

Zhang Xiaoquan leaned down slightly, with solemn eyes, and said: "Mr. Sha and I are already old, and our whole life's energy can only be contributed to our current achievements. You should know that in the Golden Triangle where powers are intertwined, living It is not easy to get down, and it is even more difficult to develop.”

Chu Tian nodded, but didn't speak, he knew that Zhang Xiaoquan had the deepest meaning behind it.
