Chapter 403: Mist
"After he recovered from his injuries, he was transferred to Laoshan again, this time he didn't come back for a long time after he went, and when he came back again, he was already the deputy captain of the Wolf Tooth Reconnaissance Brigade at that time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info After coming back and staying in the military area for five days, I finally met him, and what I didn't expect was that that meeting was the last time I saw him. I clearly remember that it was October 3, 1983, and he told me that he was going back to Laoshan and asked me to wait for him in the military region, but none of us expected that it would be the last time we would see each other. ā
"That afternoon, he was going to take the train to Yunnan, and I took leave to go to the train station to secretly send him there, and he didn't know it at all. More than a month after he left, I felt that something was wrong with my body, so I secretly asked for leave to go to the hospital for a check-up only to find out that I was pregnant. You haven't lived through any era, and I don't know what a big deal it was for me at the time. But at the time, I naively thought that this was God's greatest gift to me, and every day I fantasized about how happy he would be to know that I was pregnant when he returned. ā
"I thought I could wait until he came back, but what I didn't expect was the news of his disappearance. It was December 1, 1983, when your Uncle Xu was still serving in the Wolf Tooth Reconnaissance Brigade, and when your Uncle Xu came back from the front line to do errands, he stopped by to see me, but your Uncle Xu gave me a bolt from the blue. He's missing!" Speaking of this, Jiang Xiufang couldn't go on, Xu Huaiyu took Jiang Xiufang's words, and everyone else listened quietly, and no one interrupted.
"At that time, when he and I were on a mission, we encountered the enemy in enemy-occupied territory, which no one had expected beforehand. We had an instant exchange of fire with the enemy, but we knew very well that it would be an unwise choice to engage the enemy in enemy-occupied territory, because the enemy would soon be arriving with a large number of reinforcements, and I would not be able to escape. At that time, he was the leader of our team, and he immediately decided to lead a few people to stay behind the palace to block the enemy and create an opportunity for us to evacuate. ā
"We were very successful in the exchange of fire with the enemy, but he was surrounded by reinforcements from the enemy because of the enemy's arrival, and we thought about going back to rescue him, but we still had our own tasks, and we couldn't be rash, so in the end we didn't go back. At that time, everyone in our wolf tooth reconnaissance team had a glorious bullet on their chest. The function of this glorious bullet is to be used to die with the enemy when it is hopeless to break through when it is surrounded by the enemy. Because we did not see the bodies of him and the few comrades-in-arms who remained, he and several other comrades-in-arms were considered missing rather than sacrificed at that time, which is also a kind of self-deception, and everyone knew that they had no hope of survival under that situation. At this time, Jiang Xiufang had calmed down her mood a little.
"When your Uncle Xu told me the news of his disappearance, I felt like the whole sky had fallen. I even had the idea of going with him, but the thought of you still in my stomach at the time resisted the urge to do so. I was more than two months pregnant at the time, and I would definitely not be able to hide it if I continued like this, so I thought about retiring at that time. The leader of the health team agreed to my application for retirement, and I left the unit in a grand manner. ā
"You didn't go through that era, and you don't know what people thought of me as an unmarried pregnant person. There was a fairly long time after I retired and I didn't know how I managed to keep going, and it's kind of incredible when I think about it now. Fortunately, after more than a month of hard life, I met a kind couple. At that time, the couple had jobs and no one to take care of the children, so I became the babysitter for the family. I also avoided the eyes of many people, allowing me to live a peaceful life. ā
"At that time, I was pregnant, but the couple didn't dislike me, so I worked harder. Later, when I gave birth to you, it was still the money taken by the couple. After you were born, I didn't expect that couple to pay me a month's hospital fee. A month later, I was still living with them as a nanny until the whole family went abroad. ā
"If it weren't for the couple's help, we wouldn't have been in the family at all. Now that I think about it, it seems that our family has been helped by many people, and we have only come to this point step by step. So Hao'er, we must know how to be grateful, we don't ask others to thank us, we just want our own peace of mind!" Jiang Xiufang said this, she had completely calmed her mood, and it seemed like saying another thing that had nothing to do with it.
"After so many years, these things have been buried in my heart for more than 20 years, and today I finally said it, and I felt that the big stone pressing on my chest was lifted off at once, and the whole person was much more relaxed. Jiang Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then how did Uncle Xu retire? Uncle Xu should have a good future at that time?"
"In the middle of the battle between the two mountains, an enemy shell exploded not far from me during a battle, and I was knocked unconscious at that time, but I was finally saved by being rescued in the hospital. But because the shells were so close to me at the time, a lot of shrenchnel went into my body. Although it was successfully removed, there was a piece of shrapnel near the spine, because of the medical conditions at that time, the doctors did not dare to operate at all, my body was already very weak at that time, and they were afraid that I would not last until the end of the operation, or that I might be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. So the doctors later advised me to retire, and it was impossible for me to stay in the Wolf Tooth Reconnaissance Brigade at that time. So he retired and returned to Beijing. I didn't expect that more than 20 years have passed. ā
"That's not right. ā
"What's wrong?"
"At that time, you served in the Wolf Tooth Reconnaissance Brigade, and when I was in the recruit company, I was in the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company of the Southeast Military Region, and Miao Ziyi, the company commander of our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company, also served in the Wolf Tooth Reconnaissance Brigade. Our Miao Company still has a photo of him when he served in the Wolf Tooth Reconnaissance Brigade, and there is no you on it at all. ā
"I know this, at that time, the Wolf Tooth Reconnaissance Brigade was divided into two squadrons, Miao Ziyi was in the other squadron, and I remember that there was another one named Gao Da Zhuang who was now also in the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade. (To be continued.) )
