Chapter XXIII

Fu Xin's thoughts flew to the day of enlistment in 1976, when the sky was covered with a goose-feather-like snow that is very rare in the south...... Thinking about it, Fu Xin said: "When I joined the army, I was assigned to the fourth company of the second regiment of the first frontier division of the Guangxi Military Region. ”

Speaking of this, Fu Xin paused, chewed a piece of glittering braised pork into the bowl a few times, and continued: "Due to my excellent training performance in the recruit camp, after the end of my life in the recruit camp, I was assigned to the reconnaissance company of the third battalion of the second regiment.

In the reconnaissance company, due to the disturbance of South Vietnam on our border, for the sake of our own safety, we trained and retrained every day, morning exercises were necessary, and there were many subjects for training: queues, shooting, tactics, physical training, and so on, and we ate and slept on time every day, and took turns to stand guard.

Morning exercise is sometimes a fully armed run of five kilometers called five kilometers of cross-country, sometimes run ten kilometers, the queue is divided into individual training, squad queue, platoon queue, company queue; Shooting is divided into three positions: lying, standing and kneeling, as well as fixed targets and moving targets, as well as night shooting training.

Tactics are divided into offensive and defensive, and are divided into offensive and defensive by individual soldiers, combat groups, squads, platoons, and companies.

Physical training is five-kilometer cross-country, single and double carrying trojan horses, military physical boxing, as well as 100-meter obstacles and bomb throwing. ”

"It's impossible to get such an injury from these trainings, tell me how the scars on your body came from." Fu Zhenbang interjected.

"Well, in the reconnaissance company, I stayed for three months, and my superiors came to select people, and I performed very well because of my excellent training. Lian Li had already recommended me to join the party and promoted me to work, and at this time, I was already a squad leader and a probationary party member. ”

"Oh, yes, it's a probationary party member. So have you joined the party now? Fu Zhenbang heard that his son was already a probationary party member, and he immediately felt very happy.

"No, although I was qualified enough to join the party, I was not old enough." Fu Xin continued: "Maybe because I am a reserve party member, coupled with my excellent training performance and acceptable quality, I was selected into a secret unit, and I can't say what kind of unit.

Anyway, the training in that unit was very hard, but the salary was also very high, basically there was meat to eat every day, and many people in the company successfully joined the party after joining this unit, but I was just not old enough to be brushed off. ”

"Bitter?" Li Fanghua grasped this point and asked, "Son, how bitter is it?" You have so many scars on your body, not a lot of them are from training injuries there! ”

"Hmm," Fu Xin nodded yes.

"Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime. Manly man, this little skin injury is nothing, it is better than being injured on the battlefield. Fu Zhenbang patted his chest and said "shamelessly", as if he had experienced it himself.

When Li Fanghua heard this, he was unhappy, why didn't you try it yourself if you have the ability, so she mocked: "Don't brag, when you try it, you can blow down your body with a gust of wind......"

"Okay, mother, don't say it, I know you care about me, but Dad is right, if you don't train well in peacetime and go to the battlefield, you will die faster, not to mention our high mortality unit." For the sake of harmony in the family, Fu Xin immediately jumped out and persuaded.

When his son said so, Li Fanghua didn't care about it anymore and asked, "What about later?" ”

"Then it's time to go to war." Fu Xin's thoughts began to drift, and the war had the greatest impact on him, he recalled: "Although we were afraid of war, we hoped that the war would come sooner. This catastrophe may be predestined, and no one wants to avoid it, so it is better to go early and return early.

We were the vanguard, and in the early morning of 15 February, the troops finally received orders to march to the border, and no one could tell whether they were happy or sad. Anyway, the mood is very chaotic and excited. Since our troops were carrying out interspersed tasks, the whole operation was very covert, and the troops moved to the Nanxi River on the border line before dawn.

The company commander told everyone to do a good job of camouflage and stand by in place. After dawn, the cooking class brought food. After eating, the troops moved forward another 300 meters, took refuge in a ravine, and at two o'clock in the afternoon the second company began to build a bamboo bridge over the river, and at about four o'clock we began to cross the bamboo bridge at a flying speed, into a primeval forest, and stepped into the territory of South Vietnam......"

……

"Later, we encountered the South Vietnamese troops, their strength is really not weak, the Yankees have been engaged in their country for ten years, and they have indeed honed them, plus during the resistance to the United States, there are guerrilla tactics taught to them by our army, mountain warfare, etc., they also know us very well, so our troops suffered a big loss."

Speaking of this, Fu Xin's tears couldn't help but flow out, and under the ignorant and blank eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, he wiped the tears on his face and continued: "In that encounter, the enemy had a regiment of troops, and we were a company.

We occupied a high ground, the enemy attacked, we bombarded with grenades, mortars, and strafed with machine guns, and I was assigned the task of reloading machine guns, and so we were entangled for a day and a night, and the other side suffered heavy casualties, but we also had a lot, after all, the difference in numbers was there.

The early morning sun had come out, and I saw craters and shrapnel everywhere on the position.

At this time, the ammunition on both sides was basically exhausted, and the enemy regimental commander probably realized something and immediately decided, at all costs, to storm and definitely leave us behind, in vain...... The blade battle began......" Speaking of this, Fu Xin couldn't say any more, and cried bitterly.

"In white-knuckle combat, we killed all of them alive, which is very proud of me, one company to take out a well-trained regiment. But we survived three! Three! I, relying on a little martial arts taught by his master in the third child, survived strongly...... Reinforcements, we didn't come until we ran out, why ......! "Fu Xin is a little out of shape.

"Okay, son, don't cry, it's all over......" Li Fanghua couldn't hold back any longer, imagining his son's experience, while sobbing, he hugged his son's head next to him and said softly.

"You all heard it, this pound of meat should indeed be sent to the third child and his master, no, it is missing, it should be sent to all. the child, you can prepare Fu Xin early tomorrow morning, and let him send it to the old man with the third child. If it weren't for his old man's kindness, his son might not have come back......"

Fu Zhenbang's eyes were also a little moist, he didn't expect it, because he sent his son to the army, and his son almost couldn't come back.

A few little guys didn't have an opinion, although they didn't understand much, but they also knew that if it wasn't for Fu Wen's master to teach his brother some martial arts, his brother might not be able to come back.
