"Is this the African desert?" Xu Wenli jumped out of the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicle she was riding, looked up at the crystal-like clear sky, took a deep breath of the cool air without the smell of gasoline, and couldn't help but inspire the literary atmosphere of the newspaper editor, and chanted directly, "The sky is so vast, the night is so quiet, it looks like the prairie in China, but the desert is more rough, with a primitive and prehistoric smell."

"This is just the gentle side of the African desert." Liu Qing, who had been escorting them, still stared at the bonfire beside him and said leisurely, "During the daytime, you will see the other side of her. Perhaps, when a storm comes, you will immediately experience the other side of her. You will hate her, and maybe you will gradually fall in love with her in the future."

"Hasn't we trained in the domestic desert? Will the situation be worse?" Xu Wenli raised the Seagull license plate camera hanging on her chest, circled the lens towards a long list of light belts composed of bonfires and car lights around, and said disapprovingly.

In order to deal with the battle in Africa, the troops sent by China to Africa carried out related training in deserts and tropical areas. There are many training bases in the Taklamakan Desert in China and the Arabian Desert in the Middle East. Even female reporters such as Xu Wenli who were going to the front line to interview were adapted to the desert base for a week.

But just one week of adaptation time in a well-supplied base is not enough to understand the horror of the desert. Moreover, the desert situation in Africa is still slightly different.

Xu Wenli could understand this without waiting until the daytime.

"Ah!" A shrill scream in the middle of the night woke everyone in the camp.

"What's the matter?" Mei Houwang carried the Wuqi submachine gun and rushed to the tent where Xu Wenli lived. Seeing Xu Wenli running out in half, she shouted in a deep voice.

"Words. So many bugs!" Xu Wenli said cryingly while covering up the exposed area of ​​her body.

Mei Houwang jumped away a corner of the opening of the tent with his muzzle. After glanced at him, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Liu Qing who had arrived after hearing the news: "It's just bed bugs and cockroaches, not scorpions and snakes, nothing! Maybe they smelled the fresh meat smell, hehe!"

While talking, he smiled and glanced at Xu Wenli who was holding her chest.

Liu Qing pushed the security of the Browning powerful pistol in his hand. He glanced at Xu Wenli, who was still crying, and said solemnly: "This is the beginning. The African desert is not that simple. If I don't adapt, I will send someone to send you back!"

He was very troubled by the delicate college reporter who followed him. It would be fine if it were those well-trained female soldiers, but such a small flower bud that had left the campus could not withstand the wind and frost of the battlefield.

"No!" Xu Wenli refused firmly and straightened her chest. "I will definitely complete my field trip mission."

"What are these bugs? You can't take a bath in the desert, and you'll crawl in a few days. Are you okay, little girl? Don't force yourself!" Mei Houwang laughed beside him, "This is the battlefield, not the little girl's children's house! Women and children must walk away!"

"I, I'm not afraid!" Xu Wenli shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to throw something out. "Women can handle it for a long time. We women can go to the battlefield as well!"

"Yes!" Jiang Baoyu, wearing the medical soldier's sign, walked over, rolled his eyes to Liu Qing, stared at Mei Hou and said, "Why, do you look down on women?"

"Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law!" Mei Houwang looked helplessly at Liu Qing, who seemed to be turning a blind eye beside him, and gritted his teeth and bowed to Jiang Baoyu and begged. "I don't mean that, I mean that it is inconvenient for us to use water in this damn desert. Yes, it is inconvenient. Women and children are inconvenient on the front line, so it is better to be at the rear base!"

"You know your personality, otherwise I won't introduce you to my wife!" Jiang Baoyu, who had been in the African desert for more than a month, naturally knew that what he was talking about was the truth. He just glanced at him, pulled Xu Wenli and left, and told her about some of the situations in the desert while walking.

"Is it that bad?" Xu Wenli asked in a trembling voice.

"In the desert, our biggest enemy is not the Allied soldiers, but the environment here!" Jiang Baoyu sighed leisurely.

Xu Wenli might still have a hint of luck in her heart, but a few days later, she completely believed it.

...

"This place is like another world!" Xu Wenli recorded new materials every day in the notebook she carried with her. After recording and sorting out some of them, she sent them back to the domestic college student union.

The government has been encouraging the people to go out and restore the spirit of adventure and adventure during the Han and Tang dynasties, and has actively encouraged students.

During the activities of college students guarding the border and collecting folklore, the women's industry, whose status has been increasing, has also won several places.

Xu Wenli took the initiative to ask for the farthest Africa. But there is no romance of the Sahara Desert here, only the skinny reality.

"It's only May, and the daytime here is hotter than summer. Every grain of sand is like the scorching sun hanging over our heads and the residual heat of the flames. You can easily cook the eggs buried inside.

We can also fry eggs and pancakes directly on the hood of the chariot. Without igniting the flames, the scorching sun has already made every piece of metal around us hot.

The heat always accompanies us, as if it will ignite the air around us at any time. Even the air we suck into our throats and lungs is burning, without a trace of cool breeze.

Once we feel windy, we will be very careful.

Winds in the desert often come with sandstorms.

If you don't hide in a nailed tent at this time, it means danger.

The chief of our surname Mei who guards us looks like Sun Wukong, who is the role of Sun Wukong played by Liu Lingtong in the movie "Sun Wukong Three Fights of the Bone Demon" a year ago. He claimed that he never got lost. He heard that he once dared to break into the Japanese position with his eyes closed, but he almost lost his life in a storm.

Just when a storm came, he went to a medical car a hundred meters away to find his girlfriend, and was swept away by the storm and disappeared for a full 13 hours. Finally, he was found in a pile of sand a kilometer away, almost buried in sand and dust.

When the sandstorm hit, it was faster than the express train, carrying thick sand and soil, as if it was going to bury us all at once. All the oxygen seemed to be pumped away by the wind, and the green-headed flies that seemed to be able to adapt to all harsh environments were still flying wildly.

I haven't been here before, and I can't imagine how disgusting these green-headed flies are.

Every time they always appear in front of you, sometimes they can block the sunlight that is always dazzling in the sky. Those hard green-headed flies are very big and will not be afraid of people at all, as if they are the owners here. They also enter your tent without hesitation, even your lunch box and water cup.

Even when drinking water, I had to cover the water cup with my hands and leave a gap to suck. As long as the gap is a little larger, the flies will jump into the water cup in groups, wasting this precious fresh water.

If you are not in the desert, you will not experience the preciousness of water at all.

There are some springs in the desert, but they are not enough to consume the army and sometimes they need to be transported from far away places.

Even when you are leaning against the sea, freshwater needs to be transported from outside.

There was a time when there was a problem with the water convoy, and we couldn't find anything to quench our thirst, and I was almost driven crazy by the continuous thirst.

At that time, my mind was full of thoughts about the ice water in winter and the sour plum soup in summer, but except for the more saliva that kept moistening my smoking throat, it was useless.

Fortunately, we were close to the beach, and finally we distilled the sea water. After the sea water was distilled, it was hot and salty. The more we drank, the more thirsty we could only moisten the dry lips, which allowed us to survive for the time being.

It was not until the superior received a signal from our radio station and a transport plane dropped water on us that the water crisis was solved.

The water in the desert is too precious and no one will waste it. So taking a bath becomes the biggest problem.

The male soldiers rarely take baths and save precious water to take care of us.

Fleas and bed bugs keep appearing around us and even on us, but there is nothing we can do about it.

In the desolate desert, all costs need to be transported from outside. The front line has been fighting, and the transportation of ammunition supplies has made the transportation line tight. It is good to be able to maintain drinking fresh water and food. There is no extra water to take a bath. If you weren't worried about illness, you might not even have bath water.

For a whole month, I only took a bath three times, and twice I just wiped it with a wet cloth. Only the sudden rain at the end of May made everyone take a bath one happily.

But in the desert, rain is like a legend. Sometimes, even if it comes, it just passes by suddenly and will be quickly sucked dry by the dry sand and the scorching sun above your head, leaving only a touch of green that sprouts when it is sprouting.

Many lives miraculously survived in the desert for generations, so great.

Our great humans are just one of the lives that can survive in the desert. The difference is that we also bring war.

White-skinned, yellow-skinned, and dark-skinned all suffer in the desert wars. What are they for? Greed or survival?
