Chapter 045 The Teacher's Gift
The day after Haoyi and his two men were sentenced to death by the temporary military court in the field, the expeditionary force finally wiped out the last three main corps of the rebels defending Manta City and captured the last fortress of the Solomi planet.
It was already winter, and a sudden blizzard suddenly landed on this earth-like planet. The wreckage of countless chariots and mechas scattered on the battlefield in Manta City and the surrounding mountains were buried overnight by thick snow. It seemed that God deliberately put a thick layer of silver on this planet that had just been damaged by war, hiding the bloody trauma left by the fighting humans.
In the rest of the planet Solomi, there were still sporadic artillery fire rumbling among the flying blood flowers in the sky. However, in order to quickly calm the rebellion on the rest of the new Miami star area, the Expeditionary Force headquarters had to hurriedly transfer the main forces of the four near-Earth combat army groups to reinforce the counter-insurgency forces on the planet Kentha, the capital of Miami.
After the baptism of the powerful air-ground firepower of the Expeditionary Force, the originally not very prosperous City of Manta became a deserted city. In the city, there were only a few temporary camps of the Expeditionary Force. In addition, the entire city was empty, whether it was tall buildings or slums, without any popularity.
In the southwest corner of Manta City, there is an Expeditionary Force logistics camp. The camp is built on an open space near the foot of the mountain. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing Manta City's urban area, surrounded by temporary fences and power grids, etc. There are several huge material storage warehouses in the camp, as well as some temporary simple barracks.
At this time, the camp was full of people and traffic flowing. The soldiers of the Expeditionary Army were busy transporting the logistics materials in the camp to the assembly area not far away, and then loading them with space transport ships to other war zones. In the southeast corner of the camp, two single barracks with guns and ammunition were standing at the door of a small single barrack that only officers could live in. Unlike ordinary Marines, the two Marines had a circle of blue marks with M letters on their left arms of the armor, which was the unique symbol of the military police.
Of course, this single barrack was not the residence of a certain military police officer. The two people were locked inside Haoyi and Hu Liangtao, who had been sentenced to death. In the thin steel door of the barracks, Hu Erpang's signature snoring sound was faintly heard. On the not-so-wide glass window, a pair of single-eyed eyes were looking at the busy crowd outside the window.
"Brother Hao, what are you watching?" Hu Erpang, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, turned over. His huge fat belly suddenly sounded, and he woke up with a blink of an eye. He happened to see Hao Yi lying on the window in a daze.
"Go to sleep with you!" Hao Yi scolded without looking back.
"I'm hungry..." Hu Erpang said quietly as he stared at Haoyi's back.
"..." Hao Yi, who was full of worries, was covered in black by the words Hu Erpang. He impatiently picked up the individual soldiers' rations beside him and threw them to Hu Erpang and said, "Foodie, hurry up and eat and continue to sleep with you! Don't disturb your brother Hao's business!"
"Uh, Brother Hao is your food. I've eaten it. What should you do?" Hu Erpang took the food and said with some helplessness.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry!" Hao Yi turned around and continued to stare at the movement outside the window.
"Brother Hao, what are you thinking?" Hu Erpang was stunned, then opened the ration bag and asked while eating.
"Shut up! Uncle, can't even catch your mouth?" Haoyi turned around and cursed with annoyance. Seeing Hu Erpang being frightened by his appearance, he was stunned. He felt a little embarrassed, so he muttered teasingly: "I don't want to be like you, a foodie, wait for slaughter when you are full!"
"Uh, Brother Hao, do you want to..." Although Hu Erpang was a little silly, he understood the chill in Haoyi's words at this moment, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Shh!" Haoyi quickly gestured to silence, turned around and looked carefully at the movement at the door, lowered his voice and cursed: "Damn it, eat yours quickly!"
"Yeah..." Hu Erpang nodded quickly and kept stuffing food into his mouth. He couldn't help but feel excited. He knew that Brother Hao, who he had always admired, would definitely not easily make people collapse like this.
At this moment, a sound of motorcycle engines suddenly came from outside the barracks, accompanied by a stinging brake movement, and Mihan's familiar voice faintly came in.
"Two brothers, please be harmonious! Haha, our division commander asked me to see the two swordsman inside! Take these for the brothers to have fun!" Mihan outside the door muttered to the two military policemen in charge of guarding for a while, and then heard the sound of military police opening the lock.
"Sir! Why are you here?" Hao Yi looked at Mi Han who flashed in happily. Hu Erpang quickly put down the rations in his hand, saluted and said, "Hello, sir!"
"Why do you come? Let's see if you two bastards are dead!" Mihan held a pack of things, glared at the two of them with a stern face, then turned around and closed the door gently, threw the heavy bag of things to Hu Erpang and said, "Erpang, eat it! Eat quickly!"
"Aohu, thank you sir!" Hu Erpang opened the package and saw that it was filled with delicious roast chicken ham, etc., and even two bottles of wine. He howled excitedly and thanked him in tears.
"Sir..." Haoyi's heart surged, and his eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet. This miserable incident almost caused Mi Han and other comrades to take the blame together. However, Mi Han and others were not afraid of being implicated. Regardless of Haoyi's persuasion, they insisted on taking responsibility together. In the end, the division commander was stern in his face to scold and stop Mi Han and others from acting on their own initiative.
"Sit down!" Mi Han patted Haoyi's shoulder, his face slowed down and asked in a low voice: "How about it? Those gendarmes of dogs didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"No!" Haoyi shook his head with a wry smile, "They knew that we were two death row prisoners, so they didn't deliberately make things difficult for us. Instead, they were quite polite to us! Apart from being locked up here and unable to get out, they would give it to them as much as they should! Sir, I'm really sorry for my brothers this time! I..."
"No need to say it!" Mihan waved his hand and interrupted, "Brothers all know that you did not mean it, so don't always take it seriously!" Sighing, Mihan continued, "It was the commander who asked me to see you, don't blame the commander, he has tried his best! The incident was really disturbed this time, and it alarmed General Bart, the highest commander of the Fifth War Zone. The commander could not bear it for you!"
"You don't need to say anything to you, I understand!" Haoyi smiled and said, "It's nothing. At worst, just think that he sacrificed his life on the battlefield!"
"Do you really think so?" Mi Han rolled his eyes and glared at Haoyi. Seeing that Haoyi nodded seriously, he couldn't help but jumped up. He grabbed the simple stool under his butt and tried to smash it on Haoyi's head. He cursed angrily: "Damn it, that's better to let me kill you now, so as not to let those military police collapse and lose the face of our maintenance team!"
"Okay, no, sir, I haven't lived enough yet!" Although he knew that Mihan was joking with him, Haoyi was still startled by him and waved his hands repeatedly to beg for mercy.
"Hehe, I thought you were so hard!" Mihan grinned, put down the stool and sat down again, and his face turned and said to Haoyi in a low voice: "When it comes to serious business, our division is about to withdraw with the main force of the army group!"
"Yeah, I know!"
"Do you know?" Mihan asked in surprise.
"Sir, the logistics soldiers outside are busy shipping supplies. Even fools can tell that our main force is going to withdraw!" Haoyi explained with a smile.
"No wonder, damn it, you are just a kid!" Mi Han smiled and cursed, and glanced vigilantly at the door and listened carefully for a while. Seeing that there was no big noise, he turned around and grabbed the big bag that he had just handed to Hu Erpang, and poured out all the food inside.
"Sir..." Hao Yi couldn't help but be confused when he looked at Mihan's strange movements. He was about to ask, but saw Mihan making a gesture of silence, so he quickly pinched the conversation.
After Mihan emptyed the bag, he actually opened a secret buckle on the bottom of the bag like a magic trick. With the slight zipper sound, the originally empty bottom of the bag suddenly cracked a large hole, and a secret lattice suddenly appeared.
Then, under the surprised eyes of Haoyi and Hu Erpang, Mi Han took out the things in the dark one by one. Among these things, there was a rapid-fire stud pistol, a miniature electronic navigation device, two federal citizenship cards, and an electromagnetic cutting knife for maintenance soldiers.
The electromagnetic cutting knife is a necessary tool for maintenance soldiers, specially used to cut various types of steel plate armor. Its working principle is to forcefully change the internal atomic structure of the metal through the powerful magnetic field formed by the micro-electromagnetic induction device, so that the metal can instantly soften. In addition to the second-generation steel armor in important parts of the battleship, this cutting knife can almost easily cut off the protective armor of all combat chariot mechas equipped by the federal army.
"..." Looking at the things Mihan took out, Haoyi couldn't help but breathe, widened his eyes and looked at the equipment for a while.
"The division commander said that in his army, no bastard has ever died at the gun of his own people!" Mi Han arranged those things, winked at Haoyi and the others, and said meaningfully in a low voice.
"The commander is mighty..." Haoyi suddenly realized and couldn't help but cheer excitedly, but was glared at by Mihan. The word "magnanimity" had to swallow it back.
In fact, before Mihan came, Haoyi was thinking about how to escape from this ghost place. He was already ambitious and did not want to die in a mess under his own gun. However, in this simple barracks, except for a single camp bed and two stools, there was no other things to use. Haoyi was worried, but he didn't expect Mihan to send him these extremely critical equipment.
"The division commander has a few more words to tell you!" Mi Han's face darkened and he said with a little sadness: "The division commander said that from then on, there will be no two maintenance soldiers of Hao Yi and Hu Liangtao in the 74th Armored Division. However, he is proud of the contributions made by these two bastards. They will always be his soldiers!"
