More than ten days passed, and Fu Min wrote that he would rush home in the next two days at the latest. Today is the last day. When Fu Lanhua went to school, her parents told her brother to come back at a good time.

Finally the bell rang for the end of school. Fu Lanhua basically didn't listen to what the teacher said in class today, and her mind was full of pretending that her brother was coming home. She got on her bicycle and hurriedly walked on the way out of school, when Ying Xiang ran panting and told her: "Orchid is coming home, Brother Fu Min is back!" ”

"Really?" Orchid was so excited that she finally looked forward to her brother's return. So she urged Ying Xiang and said, "Hurry up." They got into the car and went straight to the village, one after the other, and the bicycle was like a race, and they wished they could grow wings and fly home to see their brother.

Pedestrians and classmates on the road didn't know what had happened to them, so they saw them riding fast, and as they walked, they rang the car bell, "Tick bell, tick bell!" "Frightened pedestrians on the road to dodge.

When they walked to the broken bridge at the edge of the village, Ying Xiang hurriedly shouted behind him: "Orchid, stop!" ”

But it was too late, and the orchid driver fell on the bridge with the car, but fortunately the orchid also slowed down, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Orchid sat on the tattered bridge deck, one foot sunk into a hole, and her hands and arms were covered with sand. This scared Ying Xiang half to death, he didn't care about putting down the ladder, threw the car down and ran over to support the orchid, he asked with concern: "How is the orchid?" Did the fall hurt? Where's the injury? ”

Orchid sat still, she moved her hands and arms, and stretched her waist again, she felt nothing, just squatting and hurting her legs and buttocks, she smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, help me pull my feet out." ”

Ying Xiang carefully hugged her leg and pulled it gently, only to hear the orchid "sigh", and when her foot pulled out of the hole, she was scratched by the sand, and Ying Xiang asked urgently: "What's wrong?" Is your foot hurt? ”

The orchid didn't squeak, she was supported by Ying Xiang and walked a few steps, seeing that there was no big problem, she subconsciously wiped the sweat on her face with her hands, and said, "It's okay, my feet were numb just now, and I thought I had a fracture." ”

"Nonsense, if you break a bone, how easy can you be? It's been shouting for a long time. Ying Xiang said, seeing that the orchid was fine, he was relieved, but when he raised his head and looked at the orchid, he couldn't help laughing. It turned out that when the orchid inadvertently wiped the sweat on her face with her hands, she actually covered her face with sand and soil on her hands, and then soaked it all into mud, and her whole face was like makeup, just like the "clown" in the play, which was very funny.

Orchid was embarrassed by Ying Xiang's laughter, and she pouted: "Go!" He took out a paper and quickly wiped the dirt and sweat from his face. She wiped the dirt off her face while deliberately scaring Ying Xiang and said, "Wow, I fell like this, not only did you not help me, but also laughed at me, go home and tell my uncle and aunt to see if they don't beat you flat." Hum. ”

Ying Xiang was anxious at this time, and he defended: "Hey, don't accuse good people, okay?" I've been helping you, I see that you're fine, your own face is so dirty, I can't smile? Stingy, you have to get it, can't I not laugh? ”

"Lift me up." Fu Lanhua said proudly: "If you are afraid of being beaten, you will be obedient." ”

"Okay, my little ancestor, I'm convinced." Ying Xiang handed over the car and said, "Are you really okay?" Don't make a fuss, let's go home quickly. ”

Fu Lanhua and Ying Xiang got on their bikes again, she looked back at the broken bridge behind her, and muttered, "What do the cadres in the village do to eat?" The bridge is no longer passable, and no one wants to repair it. ”

Ying Xiang said: "The secretary of Qin in our village said that there is no money to repair. ”

Fu Lanhua said indignantly: "Where did they get the money to eat and drink all day long? When I grow up, I must take this bridge well! ”

At noon, when they rode into the door, Fu Lanhua immediately felt that the atmosphere at home was different from usual. The neighbors came and went, all with smiles on their faces, laughter and laughter coming from the house, and there were sitting and standing in the yard; There are chats, and there are teasing, so it's not lively.

It seems that the family is cooking on the fire, there are mothers and Aunt Ju Xiang holding their sleeves and don't know what they are busy with, and the neighbors' sister-in-law Li and Zheng's sister-in-law are also helping Zhang Luo, they have rolling noodles, washing vegetables, and burning fires, anyway, they are not idle, they are just busy in the outhouse, but no one speaks.

Orchid ran into the house full of joy, how many days of hope and waiting for her brother, at this moment she wanted to rush into the house to see her brother, but she heard that her brother was talking to people in the back room with such great interest, and she should not go in recklessly to disturb them, so she impatiently opened a small crack in the curtain of the door, and glanced at her brother from this small gap, and then heard his brother's familiar and amiable voice.

While whispering hello to her aunt and neighbors and sisters-in-law, she asked, "Auntie, when will my brother get home?" ”

Yu Juxiang replied softly: "When you get home for a while, listen quickly, your brother is telling everyone the story of their war." ”

She waved her hand to Ying Xiang in the courtyard, took two small stools, and they sat quietly at the door of the inner room, quietly listening to her brother tell the story of the battle:

…… The Vietnamese monkeys are also very good at fighting, otherwise how can they boast that they are the third military power in the world? After a day and a night of fierce fighting, we finally conquered the enemy's position, and we immediately consolidated the forward positions we had captured, building fortifications, digging trenches, and repairing cat's ear holes as we went. However, two-thirds of this hill is still occupied by Vietnamese troops, and one-third is a few posts on our side. Cat ear hole refers to digging a hole in the side wall of a ditch or dirt slope where you can live. According to the requirements of standardization, the entrance should be opened on the sunny slope and leeward place with good soil, and try to avoid the shady slope and tuyere. The cold protection effect of the cat ear hole is very good, and the temperature in the hole can be about 12~20 °C higher than that outside the hole. However, the situation on the battlefield is changing in an instant, and there is not so much regularization, and there is no room for doing what is required, so it is enough to adapt measures to local conditions, so that they can cover themselves and ensure that they can effectively kill and injure the enemy.

After three days and three nights of fighting, of course, we suffered some casualties, but in the end we took the hill, and the enemy left the bodies of his accomplices and fled to another hilltop position. In order to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, we also occupied the enemy's discarded hole.

Among them, the hole near the forefront is very deep, and it is also very low and narrow, and when you go in, you have to climb down more than ten meters and turn three or four turns to the end with a crawling forward posture. Naturally, there is no ventilation in this shape, and it can be said to have ten flavors - smell, smell, sweat, musty, rancid, rat, kerosene, smoke, gunsmoke, and you can smell a trace of fragrance when cooking, but for the recruits who have just entered, they can't eat at all for four or five days, and they want to vomit when they think about it.

Therefore, for the people in the cave, only out of the cave to carry out the task is the most pleasant, at that time, I felt that the Vietnamese monkeys were much cuter than the cat's ear holes, how many days have not seen the sun, have not breathed fresh air.

Some are damp, not to mention, there is a lot of stagnant water, and some can flood the neck; Some of the water can only recede for more than ten hours, and there is no way but to soak in the water, and it is a few or more than ten hours at a time, and even then you can't leave the hole, and you must stick to it. During the confrontation with the enemy, the fighters squatted in the water, knelt in the water, and even slept in the water, with their guns tied to their shoulders and the radio on their heads. Sleepy, his head drooped into the water, he fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly he was awakened by the water. When the water receded, the skin was white and wrinkled layer by layer.

It was under such difficult conditions that we repelled numerous enemy counterattacks. They also used the "guerrilla tactics" they learned from us very skillfully......

"Yes, now the students are actually beating the teacher." Suddenly, someone chimed in.

Ying Zhiming stopped and said: "Don't talk too much, listen and speak." ”

"Uncle, how is it like when you were fighting? Isn't it exciting? Someone asked again.

Fu Liguo smiled and said, "How do you say this? There is no comparison. It's easy to be a soldier now, and we ...... then."

"Come on, don't mention the past, let's listen to Fu Min talk about the present." Ying Zhiming impatiently interrupted Fu Liguo's words. Fu Liguo gave him a blank look, turned his head and smoked.

Ying Zhiming pointed to the bowl and said, "Little Minzi, drink saliva." ”

Fu Min smiled and said, "Okay uncle, haha, it seems that you and my father have not changed much, and the old brothers are still so strong." ”

Lu Chunji said in the outhouse: "There are two donkeys that can't be tied in a trough." ”

Wow - everyone laughed. Fu Min picked up the bowl and just drank a few sips of water, and there was a burst of laughter, and everyone laughed again.

Fu Min wiped his mouth and said, "Everyone, don't laugh, I'll tell you about it next, there will be more exciting ones in the future." ”

Ying Zhiming urged: "Talk about it, I like to hear about the war." ”

Fu Lanhua was so anxious in the outhouse that she complained from the bottom of her heart: "Don't talk, clean up." ”

I only heard Ying Zhiming say again: "Don't shout, everyone, continue to listen to Fu Min." ”

Looking at the atmosphere and posture, it looks like a "report of heroic deeds". Listen to Fu Min's preaching:

Another day passed, the enemy wanted to recapture this mountain and high ground, these monkeys are very cunning, they dare not act during the day, they want to give us a sneak attack at night, where do they know, this tactic of fighting in the dark, our PLA is the ancestor, and they are just wearing the share of grandsons.

As soon as the enemy moved, it was discovered by our sentry, about the strength of a platoon. However, our strength on this hill was less than one platoon, and the deputy platoon commander was our supreme leader, and after we had gathered up, he ordered us to wait for the enemy to come up and approach before fighting, to take him by surprise and destroy the enemy's living forces. It turned out to be a good one.

The enemy approached step by step, and when the Vietnamese army in the vanguard was only six or seven meters away from the hole in front of us, they could hear it when they were breathing, so they couldn't speak, they couldn't make a little noise, this time was the most tempering time, you don't know what you want to do? It is also necessary to guard against the enemy coming up to stuff* or blasting canisters into our holes, but not to attack the enemy too early, so that the enemy behind will take the opportunity to run away and will not achieve the effect of total annihilation.

We are in the shadows of the cat's ear holes, but the enemy does not know that they are completely exposed to our guns. When they were all about to come up, and they were still looking around and muttering to look for us, they only heard the deputy platoon commander say: "Fight!" *, machine guns, and *all roared and smashed into the enemy......
