Chapter Ninety-Three: Ode to Blood (One More Asking for a Monthly Pass)
At the end of 1983, the higher authorities issued an operational order to recover the two mountains.
In the spring of 1984, our army won an important commanding heights after one tragic battle after another.
In the same year, the Vietnamese side of the enemy army successively mobilized 40,000 heavy troops in an attempt to launch a counterattack, and the continuous counterattack was full of momentum.
The heroic Chinese People's Liberation Army, at the same time, also used its actions as if to swear an oath to the enemy army.
If you can't take it for a year, it's two years!
If you can't accept it in two years, it's five years!
Five years without uniforms, we pay tribute with blood, ten years!
A long-term battle, begun!
No one could have imagined that this campaign would really last for 10 years, and it was not until 1993 that the defensive combat mission was officially lifted.
……
In July 1985, the year after our army won an important commanding height, the Vietnamese side of the enemy again launched the "M-2" counterattack plan.
After a top-secret meeting, Ye Boxuan recommended Chu Yifeng to his superiors, and he said to the leaders who dared to use him back then:
"In that important battle in '84, you dared to use me as a commander, and I am confident now, just like you last year. Senior commanders need actual combat, Chu Yifeng, it is worth our common expectation! ”
Chu Yifeng's nerve string was tense, he stood at the door of Ye Boxuan's office, and suddenly turned around and looked back.
Ye Boxuan sat on the office chair, the pen in his hand did not stop, and continued to write, as if he expected Chu Yifeng to be stupid: "It's only five minutes." ”
Military salute, in addition to saluting the military, Chu Yifeng didn't know what other way to express his respect and gratitude to his superiors.
When the door of the office closed, Ye Boxuan raised his head, and the corners of his lips rose slightly: Chu Yifeng led a battalion and took the lead to become the striker of the commando, I hope you can be another me and will not disappoint anyone!
"Staff Officer Chu? Staff Officer Chu? Phone! ”
It's only five minutes, five minutes......
Chu Yifeng suddenly realized that he seemed to need to do a lot of things, and as if he didn't know what to do, every minute and every second was counting down, which was a wonderful feeling.
The expression has not changed at all, what has changed is the state of mind. So when he picked up the phone and heard the loud voice of his father Chu Hongtian, he also instantly realized that the days of being angry seemed to have become insignificant.
"Hmmm! Got it? Chu Hongtian was like issuing an order to his subordinates.
Chu Yifeng changed his usual routine and didn't ask about family matters, and went straight to the point:
"Dad, it's time for you to go home and see my mom and spend more time with her. You didn't accompany you when you were young, and now it's time to double. She's a lot older, have you noticed? ”
Chu Hongtian in the office, pinching his waist with one hand and holding the telephone with the other, he held his head high and stood at the table, this stubborn look, and the tone of Chu Yifeng's conversation, all seemed to be angry with others.
And only he knows that when he heard the sound of "Dad", his eyes turned red.
Father and son are not speculative, they are not talking about the same topic, they think they are expressing the most important language.
"I sue you, Chu Yifeng! On the battlefield, don't embarrass Lao Tzu, don't be weak-legged! It doesn't matter if you lose Lao Tzu, you can go to this position now, and you can command a battalion, that is what Ye Xiaozi fought for you, don't you know? ! ”
"Dad, Mom is not easy, you have to try to empathize. Grandma's ...... You have been in good harmony with the mud for more than 20 years, and you have to keep it up, and you have to be the same as before. ”
Chu Hongtian spat into the phone, this time he was really anxious:
"When's the time? You tell me that's useless! I sue you, I order you, Chu Yifeng, either don't go, if you go, you dare to be a coward, Lao Tzu shot you. If you are like that, I will not be able to protect my old age, and I will be embarrassed and all over the street will know! ”
The corners of Chu Yifeng's mouth turned up, and in a calm tone, he laughed so much that his chest concussed:
"Five minutes, you took three minutes, goodbye."
seemed to know that his son was really going to hang up the phone, Chu Hongtian's hand holding the phone tightened, and he wanted to continue to raise his voice urgently, but his throat was blocked for some reason.
The voice was small, audible from an old man, not a general:
"Attention, safety."
After Chu Hongtian hung up the phone, he leaned back in his chair, felt a lot older for a moment, closed his eyes and thought:
He threw away half of his life that year, and he almost couldn't come back after a few experiences.
The younger brother died on the front line, and a good little family was scattered.
Now my son is gone, but this is the mission, this is the duty of a soldier!
When Chu Hongtian opened his eyes again, he forced himself to cheer up, hurry up and read the materials, he had to go back to the compound with his luggage tonight, listen to his son, and coax the child to him!
……
Few people knew that Chu Yifeng was going to the front line at this time, and he didn't have time to inform anyone.
Loved ones, friends, and ......
While watching the time accurate to the second, the phone is broadcasting.
"Hello, this is the military hospital, hello? Is it still there? ”
……
I know it's impossible, but there is a kind of memorial, it's called ritual, it's called never forgetting, it's called taking you to heart, even if it's just a "hello" compulsion.
The telephone was still left on his desk, but the person who dialed it was gone.
Chu Yifeng strode away calmly.
As he walked, he suddenly ran in a sprint, at the speed of a collective run, towards the group of people who were ready to go.
Standing on the liberation vehicle, their group had to leave quietly, just like this morning's Kyoto Military Region, where this scene had never happened.
The car drove to the suburb of Miyun, and one liberation vehicle after another was loaded with elite soldiers such as infantry, artillery, armored troops, and army aviation.
……
Chu Yifeng sat in the stuffy tank car, leaned his head back against the train wagon, and smiled.
That's how it should be, it's supposed to be like this, this is a delicious life, and his dream has finally come true.
Turning his head to look at the young faces around him, a row of iron-blooded men.
If you are a hero, you will kill more enemy soldiers!
If you are a soldier, you should go to war!
Wearing this military uniform, he is an unyielding sculpture for a lifetime!
As long as Chu Yifeng thought that he was about to stand in the place where his uncle Chu Hongchi sacrificed, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his whole body was surging with hot blood, which seemed to be able to burn his whole body.
……
In Yunnan, in the continuous rainy season, the gravel roads are full of potholes, the bends are narrow, and the terrain is dangerous, and the weather here is even more changeable.
Somewhere in the small river bubble at the foot of the mountain, sturdy figures are taking a bath bare, laughing and playing.
Chu Yifeng, who had a bald head, was sitting on the shore, holding a grass in his mouth, holding the barrel of the gun tightly in his hand, and was wiping the head and body of the gun with the antler cloth he used to wipe the pen, his eyes were serious and focused.
A little soldier in the distance ran in his direction, ran to Chu Yifeng and stood still: "Battalion Commander Chu, this is a letter and pen for you." ”
Chu Yifeng looked at the visitor suspiciously, but didn't take it.
The little soldier scratched his head, and his round face was full of smiles: "Battalion Commander Chu, write a suicide note!" ”
"Writing a suicide note, what are you hippie smiling?! You kid, you're not sick in the brain, are you? "It's a very responsive expression.
The little soldier was reprimanded, his face was a little red, but the smile on his lips still couldn't be hidden: "If you hand in this, you can go to the battlefield, I'm not afraid of sacrifice!" ”
Chu Yifeng choked......
