Chapter 268: Dead Guard

"I'm not asking around, I'm a doctor, you're a patient, I'm asking about the condition. I said it very seriously.

"Didn't you say that we had been poisoned for too long and couldn't get rid of the roots. The third uncle frowned.

"But I want to try. I replied seriously.

The third uncle looked at me, the expression on his face gradually became serious, and he sighed.

"Third uncle, can't you say it?" I asked.

"Can it really be eradicated?" the third uncle asked rhetorically.

"I can't guarantee it, but at least you can try, you don't want to endure that kind of pain anymore, I believe Pang Lao is not willing either. I said softly.

The muscles on the third uncle's face shook suddenly, and he gritted his teeth.

"Well, it's been so many years, so that's it. ”

The third uncle had a very solemn expression on his face when he spoke, and he seemed to have made a lot of determination.

"You can't say it here, let's find a place. "The third uncle pulled me out of the courtyard.

In the courtyard of the military division, the third uncle took me to find a vacant lot, there were stone tables and stone benches in the clearing, and there was no one around, so I sat down with the third uncle.

"Do you know about the war in '79? "As soon as I sat down, the third uncle got straight to the point!

"'79 years......" My mind flashed, and then I nodded: "Of course I know!"

New China has not fought many wars, and the war in 79 should be known to anyone who is not too closed in information.

"The poison of me and the chief was at that time. The third uncle smiled bitterly.

Seventy-nine years, an era that seems to be very far away, but in fact, it is not far from us, and many people who participated in it back then are still suffering, including Pang Lao and Third Uncle.

The following words are what the third uncle said to me, I sorted it out, and the general content is as follows!

“…… The higher authorities ordered us to defend the hill and cut off the enemy's retreat, the enemy was four times our size, well-equipped, and the whole main force was the descendant troops, and our task was to hold on for at least forty-eight hours!"

“…… We had a night of rapid marching, and as soon as we reached the top of the hill, the battle began almost immediately, and there was almost no temptation, and the enemy was desperate as soon as he came up, and the mountains were full of overwhelming heads, and they rushed to the top of the hill without their lives!"

“…… Almost half of our troops were new recruits, and the battle immediately went to a fever pitch, and the first charge of the enemy inflicted heavy losses on us, but we withstood it!"

“…… The enemy did not give us a respite at all, and then followed by the second and third charges, and in twenty-four hours we repelled a full seven enemy charges!"

“…… More than half of the troops were killed or wounded, and everyone who could hold a gun went to the position, including the clerks and signal soldiers!"

"The eighth charge was quickly fired, the enemy was completely insane, and so were we, and both sides were red-eyed...... The bullets were very dense, the enemy called for artillery fire again, and the whole hill was lifted off a layer, and the soldiers lay in the shell crater and fired...... Many comrades-in-arms died in front of their eyes, no one was afraid anymore, and they couldn't care about it, they just filled ...... with their lives."

Speaking of this, tears flowed from the corners of the third uncle's eyes.

I didn't react at all, my impression of war only exists in film and television works, I grew up in peacetime, and I am not at the same level as my third uncle about war and death!

Raising his hand to wipe a handful of tears, the third uncle continued.

“…… In the end, the chief also took the gun and went to the position in person, and I didn't stop it, the team was scattered, everyone was desperate, I already had a glorious consciousness at that time, and the glorious bullet was hanging here!"

“…… The bullets are flying in my ears, and there are fewer and fewer comrades around me, as long as those who are not dead and can still move, they all pick up their guns and continue to fight!"

Speaking of this, the third uncle showed a very proud expression on his face.

"Grandma's! We just held the hill...... The enemy is afraid, retreats, we win!"

“…… The chief gathered the rest of the people together, there were only about 300 people left with all arms and legs, and there were more than 200 wounded soldiers, it was too miserable, so many brothers were gone, at that time many recruits were less than twenty years old, the chief cried, he cried and said sorry to everyone, and kept saying sorry ......"

The third uncle covered his face with his hands!

I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, the third uncle's tone was actually very calm, and the content of what he said was not sensational, it was plain and straightforward, but from the third uncle's words, I seemed to see the picture at that time!

“…… The chief talked to his superiors and asked to evacuate, and the superiors replied that we would continue to hold on for five hours!"

"That was the first time I saw the chief so fierce, the chief scolded his mother, grabbed the operator's radio station and quarreled with his superiors in front of us, the quarrel was a quarrel, the task must be completed, the chief asked the wounded soldiers to withdraw first, but no one left...... It's all good, everyone says that they want to die together, and they can still be a companion in Lord Yama!"

"The enemy launched another charge, twice, we held it again, the battle to this life and death is actually no longer important, the enemy has run out of courage, our casualties are not large, the big guys are very happy, seeing that the big army is coming!"

The third uncle's eyes suddenly dimmed!

“…… The chief was also very happy at that time, and he began to arrange for the wounded to retreat, and to receive the large army up, and we rearranged the trenches, and the enemy showed no signs of attacking again, so that we all felt that the battle was over. ”

“…… I don't know what's going on, suddenly there was a big fog, the whole position was covered by this fog, the chief was very nervous and afraid that the enemy would take the opportunity to attack, everyone went to the position, the big guy held a gun, but the enemy never moved!"

“…… The first person who vomited appeared, followed by the second, and one after another the fighters all began to vomit, and the chief and I were no exception, the whole position was in chaos, the chief gave an order, but it didn't work, the fighters couldn't control it at all......"

The third uncle's eyes were full of fear, his wrinkled face was twisted, and his fists were clenched tightly!

"Third Uncle!" I reached out and grabbed the third uncle's hand.

"It's messy! It's all messed up! Someone shoots himself in the head, and someone sweeps around with a gun, and the chief wants to rush out, but I press him to death, and the chief beats me with his fists, and I still won't let go!"

“…… At this time, a shell landed next to us, and I fainted!"

"When I woke up, I was already in the field hospital! Later, I learned that the entire position was alive, me and the chief, and then some of the wounded who had been evacuated in advance, and the entire unit was almost dead!"

The third uncle didn't cry anymore, just smiled bitterly!

After the third uncle's words were finished, I didn't say anything for a long time, I was digesting and calming my emotions.

"Xiao An, this matter is a scar in the chief's heart, he will never say it, I want to tell you because I think you may be able to give me an explanation, after so many years, the chief and I have been tortured for so many years, not only physically, but also this!" The third uncle pointed to his heart: "There are so many dead brothers, we can't stop them!"
