Chapter Twenty-Seven: Receiving a Mission
"Five-star red flag, our planes, four!" She was a little incoherent with excitement.
After all, Hu Yu is a veteran soldier who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he also knows that the volunteer plane will intercept it, so he is not surprised at all, but very calm. Xiaoyu saw a real war for the first time; It was still an air battle, she was both excited and scared, like a naughty big child, hiding behind Hu Yu, and wanted to see the joy of the victory of the volunteers shooting down, but also afraid of seeing the bloody killing. At the moment when she hesitated, a US military plane was hit, dragging a long smoke and making a miserable scream, crashed into a mountain and exploded. Xiaoyu noticed that before the plane hit the mountain, a white dot ejected out. She looked at it, and a parachute was open, and there was a living enemy on it. She had never seen a parachute before, and cried out in surprise: "Enemy, enemy, catch it!" ”
"This is my army's defense area, the troops will catch him soon, he can't run!"
Xiaoyu's excited cheeks flushed with red clouds, her chest rose and fell sharply, and she grabbed Hu Yu's arm with both hands, shouting and screaming loudly. Hu Yujue's is more beautiful and moving, and his admiration for Xiaoyu has increased, and Xiaoyu's subconscious has also made him more determined to chase Xiaoyu.
Without the interference of US military planes, the train ran wildly on the Korean front line at the fastest speed. They got off the train before dark, and an open-top jeep was waiting there. It was getting dark, the jeep was bumpy all the way, Xiaoyu was dizzy, and even the southeast and northwest couldn't figure it out, and several times the whole body was turned upside down, and she almost fell out of the car, scared her to pull Hu Yu's arm. I don't know how long the car has been running, and the sound of gunfire can be faintly heard in the distance, and Xiaoyu's heart is as nervous as a cat scratch. Finally, the car came to a stop on a flat field the size of a blue field, and in the middle of the field stood an elderly soldier, and next to him stood a soldier with a horse lantern. Before the car could stop, Hu Yu had already jumped out of the car and ran towards the elderly soldiers. Then came the sound of laughter. Xiao Yujue's relationship between them was extraordinary, the older man seemed to be waiting for Hu Yu here, and then Hu Yu was pulled by the two of them very intimately turned around and walked to the back row of rooms. Xiaoyu jumped out of the car, wanting to move his hands and feet. The guard Xiao Li thought that she was going to enter the house with Hu Yu, so she stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "Chiefs talk, we'd better wait outside." ”
Hu Yu followed the head of the Zhi Division at the age of fourteen, and the chief treated him as his own child. Today, I got the news that he was injured and returned to the team, as if he had some kind of treasure, and stood outside early waiting for him. Hu Yu hurriedly ran to the chief, although the chief laughed, his emotions were a little excited, his eyes were a little moist, and he must have not seen each other for more than half a year. The chief pulled Hu Yu; As if pulling his own child, he turned back into the headquarters. In the light, he circled around him, and thumped him on the shoulder a few times, as if asking him; It's like saying to yourself: "It's good! Silly boy, whiter, fatter, and stronger than before. ”
Silly boy is the chief's affectionate name for Hu Yu, and it was also very useful in the past. Ever since he came into contact with Xiaoyu, he himself didn't know why, he didn't want to listen to the chief call him a stupid boy, and he was willing to hear others call him the chief or the military commander, although it was impossible for the head of the Zhisi to call him that.
"Chief, I'm almost fifty years old." Hu Yu's mood is very complicated.
The chief slapped his head and said, "Look at my head, I'm confused in the war, I should call you Lao Hu!" ”
The phone rang on the table, the chief answered the phone, and after putting it down, his eyelids became serious: "You just came back, I should let you rest for a few days." It seems that it will not work, the chief of staff will give you the task in a while, and then return to your unit overnight, and immediately there will be another big battle, which may also be the last battle! ”
The chief of staff explained the task to Hu Yu, and Hu Yu's face became serious. Coming out of the Shiji headquarters, he jumped into the jeep: "Go back to the military headquarters!" ”
Along the way, the guards and the driver understood his temper and did not dare to speak, and even made a little noise. Every time Hu Yu receives a task, he has the habit of immediately entering the work outfit. Waiting for the car all the way back to the army headquarters, the battle plan has been formed in the brain. Late at night, except for the occasional explosion of a bullet or two on the mountain road, the "crackling" sound of the Jeep's wheels pressing against the stones, and the two white lights of the car lights in the dark night. When the car arrived at the gate of the military headquarters, political commissar Li Furu had been waiting at the gate for a long time. Hu Yu is a workaholic, and he can forget everything when he works, not to mention that the head of the Zhi Division has already given the task. He only glanced at Xiao Yu affectionately, and said to the guard Xiao Li: "Send the doctor to the military hospital!" Then he clasped his hands tightly with the commissar. The relationship between these two people who have been together from the Red Army's Long March, after eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and dozens of battles, large and small, cannot be described in words. They looked at each other for a long time, and Li Boru asked, "Okay?" ”
Hu Yu said: "Okay! ”
Again, "All right?" ”
He replied, "All right!" ”
Entered the headquarters and was greeted by the staff officers and staff. Hu Yu was a little excited, said a few kind words, distributed the chaff brought back from the capital to them, and pulled the political commissar into the back room.
The headquarters of the artillery regiment was located in a cave, and the rumbling sound of artillery outside shook the gravel of the cave and fell down. Liang Guocheng hadn't slept for three days, and he dragged his tired body to report on the enemy situation of the reconnaissance, and saw the regiment commander talking on the phone. The regimental commander saw him come in and motioned for him to wait. He leaned against the wall of the cave, trying to relieve the fatigue of his body, and just leaned against his eyelids and slowly drooped; He tried to keep his eyes open a few times, not wanting to fall asleep himself, but still snoring softly. Head Liu put down the phone and looked at Liang Guocheng, who was standing against the wall and asleep, and the messenger wanted to wake up, but he stopped him. Although he was anxious to arrange his new assignment, he knew that he was too tired. He looked at his handsome face and remembered that he had just joined the army and glared with fear; It's more of a childish big eye asking this and that; Now it's the same face, more mature and steady. Troops and wars are really places to train people! He sighed. He put a finger on his mouth and "shh Suddenly, there was a loud explosion outside the cave, and Liang Guocheng woke up in shock. He stroked his eyelids with both hands and said with some embarrassment: "Damn it, I accidentally fell asleep!" ”
Head Liu said: "I originally wanted you to sleep a few more minutes, but I can't do it." ”
Liang Guocheng reported on the situation of reconnoitring the enemy situation in the past few days, and Regiment Commander Liu listened carefully, nodded incessantly, and punctuated the points with a red pen on the map. He talked endlessly, and Head Liu listened until he finished in one breath. Head Liu patted his thigh and said happily: "Great! The mission was done very well, and it was exactly where we were going to shell. ”
As soon as the words came out, he himself felt a little exaggerated. Liang Guocheng and the messenger who was also standing looked at him in astonishment, as if they had seen him once. The actual situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and the artillery regiment had received a new task, and Liang Guocheng risked his life to intersperse with the enemy's positions, and the enemy information detected was no longer valuable. If he told Liang Guocheng the actual situation, he would consider that it would dampen the enthusiasm of the fighters. He could only listen patiently to Liang Guocheng's report, and in order to show the importance he attached to this reconnaissance mission, he also marked it on the map very formally. Liang Guocheng's correspondent didn't know what was going on in Commander Liu's heart, but he was a little overwhelmed by his exaggeration, staring at him with four eyes. Head Liu was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain it, so he held back for a few minutes, and suddenly turned to the topic: "Comrade Guocheng, I just came back from completing the mission, and I should have let you have a good rest." But there's a new task for you. ”
Liang Guocheng said: "No matter how difficult the task is, I promise to complete the task!" ”
Regiment Commander Liu took out another map, spread it out and pointed to a place, and said: "This is a necessary passage into the mountain, and our army surrounds two divisions of the US and South Korean troops in the mountain. If the United States and South Korea want to break the siege, reinforcements must pass through this passage. Due to the limited terrain on the mountain, our army could only hold one company on the mountain to block the enemy. Forced by the enemy's heavy artillery fire, our troops paid a particularly heavy sacrifice. Almost half of the men of a company were killed every day, and most of the rest were wounded, so our army changed a company every night, and sometimes the enemy's artillery blockade was too dense at night, and the troops could not go up. Your task is to keep up with the troops who have changed the guard tonight, and after going up, use the walkie-talkie to direct the artillery fire of our regiment and destroy the enemy attacking the defensive passage. ”
After hearing this, Liang Guocheng stood up and saluted Commander Liu: "Guarantee to complete the task!."
Head Liu patted Liang Guocheng on the shoulder and said, "I just like the enthusiasm of young comrades." The communicator is responsible for dropping you off at the Changing Forces accommodation tonight. ”
Liang Guocheng followed the messenger out of the regiment headquarters, got into the truck specially prepared for him to pull the cannon, squeaked and bumped for half an afternoon, and arrived at a small village that seemed to have only a few dozen families in the dark. They got out of the car and entered the village, the sky was already dark, and the courtyard walls of the farmers had the shadow of the moon. It seems that there are no fellow villagers, and you can see the busy figures of volunteer soldiers everywhere. The correspondent led him through several alleys and into a farmhouse's yard. The yard is not too big, and there are a few houses of poor families with low rammed earth walls and grass roofs. The courtyard was full of volunteer soldiers, distributing ammunition in a circle from squad to squad. The communicator found the company commander in the crowd, and the two muttered a few words, confessed him to the company commander, and left. The company commander ignored him a little, and spoke in Northeast dialect: "You can call me Lao Li, now you can find a place to find a pimple for a while." Half an hour later, the troops will depart, you follow me, don't run around! ”
