Chapter 168: It's All Fate!
Returning to the former finger station, Jiang Chen's heart was somewhat happy. Although they have been running in various units on the front line for more than ten days, on the whole, there is still no danger, especially when they have brushed shoulders with death several times. Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to say that he would be happy, but he didn't expect that something would make Jiang Chen's more joyful mood instantly fall to the bottom.
What is the matter, that is, Jiang Chen met Lei Jun and his instructor. Originally, he should be happy to see this relative, but he didn't expect him to bring bad news to Jiang Chen this time. That is, Company Commander Kong, who was still drinking and laughing with Jiang Chen not long ago, and the platoon commander Zhao who was fighting with him at that time, and the little soldier next to him have all died. This made Jiang Chen a little unconvinced, because this person was still drinking and fighting together a few days ago, how could he say that it was gone now, he would not be able to accept it for a while.
According to Lei Jun, this is really the case, saying that they didn't have long to go in Jiang Chen. Their battalion received an urgent order to go deep behind enemy lines to reconnoiter enemy artillery positions. Because in recent times, the enemy has shelled a lot and very frequently. In addition, the enemy was very alert this time, so immediately after a round of shelling, the position was moved, which made our counterattack useless. So it was decided to have the scouts go behind enemy lines and reconnoiter the field to find out where their artillery caches and ample ammunition came from. Then our artillery was directed to cover the supply lines in the rear, where the artillery usually hid positions.
Originally, there was no Company Commander Kong, the platoon commander Zhao and the little soldier this time, but he insisted on asking for battle, and in the end he was really annoyed and had no choice, so the above agreed to let him lead a group of soldiers to go. And this platoon commander Zhao and this little soldier naturally followed. didn't expect that this trip turned out to be a point of no return, which made Lei Jun, who made the decision, regret it.
In fact, the previous tasks were well accomplished, and our artillery and long-range rockets were guided by them. Several artillery positions and several concealed arsenals were successfully destroyed. But when they were about to unplug the last one, they didn't expect to be discovered. They overlook an important factor when they measure, and that is time and location. Because it was already afternoon when they reconnoitred this target, and when they took the optical rangefinder to locate the target, they did not expect that the angle of the sun happened to shine on the lens of the optical rangefinder, causing reflection. But even this slight negligence was discovered by the strictly guarded Nanban monkeys.
Because they have already destroyed several targets in a row. The monkeys hate them to the core, so they are very careful to guard against their vital facilities. And after these people found out about Company Commander Kong, they didn't make a noise, but sent this information to the elite troops of the Southern Barbarian Army that the monkeys used to encircle and suppress them. These people were very familiar with the jungle terrain warfare, so they quietly surrounded Company Commander Kong and them, and when they realized that something was wrong, it was too late, because they had already been surrounded. Despite their efforts to break through, only one warrior escaped, and this warrior returned in a dying state.
Although Company Commander Kong and the others still insisted on completing the task of guiding the artillery to destroy the position, their task was still not completed. Because they still have one task to complete, that is, the supply line from the Nanban to the front line has not yet been discovered and destroyed. And because they suffered heavy losses and sacrificed too many personnel, the former commander decided to recruit Lei Jun and them to come over to investigate and hold the relevant responsible persons accountable. Although Jiang Chen still wanted to participate, he was stopped by Lei Jun and Jiang Chen's uncle and asked him not to participate.
Here is Jiang Chen's uncle, Lei Jun's brother-in-law Zhang Zhonghong, so let's briefly talk about it here. Jiang Chen's uncle has also made rapid progress in this year. He has been promoted from a deputy division commander to the deputy chief of staff of the entire front command. Although Jiang Chen did not deny that there was more or less the role of his grandfather's thunder warfare here. But the vast majority still rely on his own strength. There are many people on the entire front line who care about Uncle Jiang Chen, but being able to get this far is not something that can be achieved casually, which shows that this cheap uncle is also a relatively powerful figure.
When he came to the front line, Jiang Chen and this uncle also came into contact a few times, but only a few times. Because he's just too busy. It didn't take long for me to meet Jiang Chen, and someone called and urged him, saying that there was no emergency, so he could only leave with an apologetic face. Jiang Chen also expressed his understanding of this, after all, it was a combat period, and a position like him would definitely be very busy. down through a few contacts. Jiang Chen also admires, respects and likes this uncle very much. On the one hand, there are the original memories of this body, and on the other hand, Jiang Chen can personally feel the care and love of Jiang Chen's uncle Zhang Zhonghong for Jiang Chen, I am afraid that the real father and son are like this.
Since both of them said so, Jiang Chen just didn't care about it and waited and saw what happened. This matter has been investigated for a long time, and Jiang Chen has been holding various exchanges and seminars with the people of the expert group while paying close attention to this matter. Finally, it was not until a week later that the investigation was completed. Lei Jun, who was in a state of mind and covered with stubble, was finally released. The investigation results said that this incident was not the fault of the commander in chief, but was caused by the emergency situation on the battlefield, so it had nothing to do with Lei Jun. But in this way, Lei Jun will be even more uncomfortable, and he thinks it is better to give some punishment. After all, Company Commander Kong was the last Lei Jun to decide to replace him, you said that if you didn't have such a soft ear at the beginning, don't let him go up, it is estimated that this incident will not happen.
People who are accustomed to life and death on the battlefield believe in fate even more, and they often say that if a person's life is good, he will not die, even if he is shot with a gun. If a person's life is not good, maybe he hasn't encountered the enemy yet, so he hangs up first. There are many such people on the front line, such as those who are in good fortune, who have been shot with guns, either because the gun is stuck and cannot be fired, or it does not hit or does not hit the vital point, so that they can survive. Those who have a bad life can't escape death, and they hang up before they meet the enemy, such as acute malaria that makes people die of dehydration. Another example is snake bites, which can kill a person. And Lei Jun is such a person who believes in his fate, he always thinks that it was his mistakes that led to the sacrifice of these people, so he is now very self-blaming and uncomfortable.
