Memories of the War on the Western Front (fragments)
This article is excerpted from the autobiography “My Military Career” written by Xiu Yi after he became famous. It is mainly composed of three parts: memoirs of the Western Front War, my ideals, and the destiny of the country. Among them, the memories of the war on the Western Front are actually a synthesis of Xiuyi’s diary during this period…
Memories of the War on the Western Front (fragments) – Xiuyi. Christo
On the west bank of the Lions River at the junction of Silikia and Eni…
I have been standing here for a week now, with 2,000 members of the fourth team of the Canglong Legion against an enemy army of nearly 60,000 people… The whole battle was like a nightmare… There are still 600 people left in the team, and less than 100 of them are able to move normally with their limbs intact…Of course I am also among them, but I just have a little fever, less than 40 degrees…Compared to others, I am already considered luckier…Only one magic cannon can still be used, but there is only one round. see the sunshine of tomorrow…
The eastern sky was faintly pale, and the entire position was still shrouded in thick fog. I stood alone in front of the bunker, breathing the smell of gunpowder in the air. One advantage of taking a walk now is that you don’t have to worry that the people on the other side have already spotted you and are wondering if it’s worth spending one or two shells for you-you know, the shooting skills of the Allied artillery are not much worse than that of our Imperial Army.
Now Captain Davout should be on the side of the wounded. He has not closed his eyes for seven days and seven nights. I persuaded him several times, but each time he just asked me to hurry up and have a good rest… Today, Alcesar’s reinforcements will arrive, as long as we can repel the enemy’s last attack…
I’m exhausted all over my body but I just can’t sleep. This must be due to extreme mental tension… I started to think about it by myself, and the stern face of my adoptive father appeared in front of my eyes from time to time, as if telling me to persevere at the last moment… The girl with bright golden hair smiled and said that she would marry me, on the condition that I must come back alive…
At this time, the siren from the lookout post woke me up from my dream:
“Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!”
We have already killed half of the legion, still dare to come here? I was still silently hoping that the enemy would be frightened and let us wait until the reinforcements came up… It seems that my habit of daydreaming still can’t be changed.
“what is that!”
Following the exclamation of the soldiers, I raised my eyes and saw a few huge figures like hills in the gradually dissipating morning mist…
“Damn it, it’s a Titan! Pull up the magic cannon!” I remember giving the order in such a panic at that time… And then there was a huge explosion sounding in my ears. I felt that I couldn’t hear anything, as if the whole earth was shaking.My eyes are dark…
I don’t know how long it took me to wake up. To be precise, I woke up after being slapped a few times. I felt that someone was grabbing my chest and shaking it constantly…
“Damn it, are you still alive?” Elsesar picked me up and growled. I couldn’t speak but tried to smile, but the muscles on my face were already stiff. In the end, I could only watch him drag me away like a big bag of potatoes…
I was surprised to find that Elsisa was crying… Big tears slid down his face, drawing unknown tracks on the sticky stuff all over his face…
“Us, ahem… Where are our reinforcements?” I settled down and asked him.
“It’s all here!” Elsisa pointed around, and I followed his directions. The ground was full of the corpses of our soldiers. To be precise, they were a mixture of bones and flesh. Beyond that, there were a few huge corpses of Titans that smashed the ground out of deep pits. Metallic liquid flowed out from the bodies of those incomparably powerful giants, and burned as soon as it touched the vegetation…
“Is there no one else but me?” I tried my best to calm down, and it took me a long time to say this.
“I searched through dozens of piles of corpses, and you were the only one alive, and I didn’t see Davout.” Alcesa’s voice was cold, and I shivered for a moment. Senior Dawu has always taken good care of me, unlike that guy Hardenburg. I hope that senior can escape smoothly, even if the hope is slim… Seeing my confidantes and friends who have been in a pool of blood for many years, I feel as if my heart is as heavy as lead, but at the same time I am also glad that I am still alive…
Elsisa pulled me onto the shadow horse, and I hugged him subconsciously. Just like that, the two of them galloped through the wilderness… At this moment, I had forgotten that there might be enemy troops around from time to time, and I just thought that I could escape the danger. Suddenly, I thought again: the scene of me holding Elsisa from behind like this is a bit like those young officers who rode horses and took their girlfriends to go camping in the countryside in the past. I hugged the officer in front like a woman. , Elsisa’s back is still straight like an iron King Kong… If I can survive this war, I will find a woman to live a good life… Xia Rilei and Qiu Yeyu are much luckier than me. They are in the reserve team…
In the vast wilderness, two people riding one and two were galloping, and I felt the body of Elsisa in front of me suddenly shake.
“From now on, you have to keep talking to me, don’t let yourself fall asleep! Start talking!” Alsisa’s voice revealed exhaustion, and this was the first time I heard it.
“Yes!” I replied hastily.
“Then tell me quickly!” The senior’s tone was filled with impatience.
“A classmate in my class, Qiu Yeyu, was arrested for the tactical command class once, but he failed the make-up exam…and he didn’t pass the retake exam either!” I yelled loudly in his ear.
“That friend of yours is reallyidiot! “El Sizar said with a cold snort.
“Yes!” I replied.
