03 fluffy heroic spirit

"Are you crazy?!" The gunner at the stronghold roared at Guan Yuangui.

"I'm not crazy." Guan Yuangui remained relatively calm. "Shall I state the plan again? We're running out of time, though."

The gunner operator swears an extremely nasty swear word, almost comparing Guan Yuangui to filth, which makes the atmosphere tense.Haiping and the other gunners on duty looked at each other anxiously.

Haiping, besides feeling uneasy, felt even more guilty.In fact, he is the one who is crazy, and he is the one who should be dismissed as filth. He came up with this method, but Guan Yuangui voluntarily took all the responsibility for this crazy idea for him.

Guan Yuangui even encouraged him. "Good idea, Haiping." And he used that calm and gentle voice to coax his timidity that was actually afraid of taking responsibility. "Don't be afraid, I'm coming."

He always told him not to be afraid, because he was there.

Haiping found that he could no longer live without the magic power of this sentence.These words are like herbal medicine to numb the pain of the wound, and then make him find peace in the chaos.

Today, there is a storm on the front line because of his crazy idea, but Guan Yuangui is still like an unshakable high wall, protecting him majestically.

The gunner's face was ashen, and he pointed at the person's nose and scolded: "Guan Yuangui, you have also been a gunner, and you will never forget the regulations even if you die. There are Yuan troops wandering around within a hundred feet, who can shoot Cannon? Who are you persecuting now? Do you know that there is a group of kite troops outside that have been watching? Once the cannon is fired, it will immediately expose the location of our stronghold. Let me ask you, who will take this responsibility? What the hell are you idea, you!"

Guan Yuangui looked around at all the soldiers in the fort expressionlessly.He stated the facts: "You have a small number of soldiers."

The gunner made his face crooked. "What?"

"You are short of three gunners, three gunners, one forward to the right, and one left to see the gun. Why are there so few?"

The gunner was speechless for a moment.

"Why less?!" He asked again, targeting not just the gunner, but everyone present.

"Are you all injured? Withdrew from the front line?" Guan Yuangui's voice became harder and harder, more and more unquestionable. "Then do you know where your comrades are now? They are on that support ship now!"

All the soldiers were shocked.

"Are you going to just watch their boat sink like this?! Are you such a cold-blooded person?! When did the artillerymen even ignore their own partners?! When you are in trouble, you also hope that your colleagues Are you treating yourself so ruthlessly?!"

Guan Yuangui changed his usual gentle tone, and he issued a series of sharp questions, which were actually more like orders for introspection, full of the courage, strength and heroic spirit of the former master.

Haiping watched intently, Guan Yuangui was so powerful.

He also saw that, except for the gunner who was actually worried about ruining his career, the expressions of everyone else changed in an instant.

"I don't want to, sir." Someone even stood up, spoke firmly, and called Guan Yuangui "sir" in a submissive tone.

"Then are you willing to follow me?" Guan Yuangui asked, "Rescue your comrades?!"

More people came out.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison, and the voice was loud: "Sir!"

The situation was turned upside down in an instant.

Haiping saw respect and obedience from the faces of these grassroots artillerymen, just like the artilleryman he saw at the seaside when he faced Guan Yuangui that day, nostalgic and admiring.

Only then did he realize that Guan Yuangui's retreat from the artillery was not because someone slandered him, or as he confessed, but because he was a cowardly and incompetent person who could not face death. He thought more often, It should be someone—and definitely not these small soldiers who worked hard on the front line, but those who have a half-job and want to guard their "chicken ribs" all the time. They are afraid of his power and prestige, but He cleverly set up various names, forcing him, a big bird, to break his wings.

With one order, the gunners took their positions one after another.

"You guys! You──" The gunner jumped so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Stand back." Guan Yuangui said coldly, "Go to the side and hide out of sight."

He looked at the gunner, and also at Haiping.

Then, he smiled smartly and said, "The responsibility is on me."
