Chapter 2: Reunion

Chapter 2: Reunion

Looking at the 'desire' to wear, since I knew that the 180th Division was going to enter the Korean war, my heart that had just relaxed immediately lifted up again. But the time of the 180th Division's entry into Korea is a military secret, and even Commander Zhang and they don't know, so I can only wait for Xiyangli's patience.

The days of recuperation in Xiyang-ri can be said to be a rare leisurely time, and the geographical location here is unique, near Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, although it is also shrouded in the 'cloud' of war, but it is far away from the smoke and artillery fire of war. Coupled with the heavy anti-aircraft fire near the capital, even enemy planes rarely came to 'disturb'. Let me live a rare leisure life.

Relaxed and peaceful days always pass quickly, and under the careful care of the hygienists and nurses, Yu He, whose 'leg' is slowly injured, can now go to the ground without crutches. In addition to chatting with the soldiers and playing chess, I usually toss the M1 sniper rifle that Commander Zhang specially asked people to send back to me.

These days on the battlefield have made me understand that in this cruel world, in addition to these comrades-in-arms beside me, the only thing I can trust and rely on is the rifle in my hand. Although this brand new rifle has had many flaws in previous battles, such as the butt of the rifle that I broke loose in the last battle, the bayonet stock was twisted due to frequent sprints, and even the barrel of the gun had a few notches from shrapnel, I was still reluctant to replace it with a new one.

Now I have exactly what it takes. The soldiers have captured a lot of M1 rifles on the battlefield, and Commander Zhang also said that as long as I want, I can choose among those captured rifles at any time, and I can give which one I want, but I still don't want to do it, firstly, because I have feelings for this rifle that has accompanied me for so many years and has survived so many lives and deaths, and secondly, because I understand it.

To know what it means is to know every little bit of its strengths and weaknesses. On the battlefield, I always try to play to its strengths, avoid its shortcomings, and finally win victory after victory with it.

"Chief of Staff" When I was wiping my guns by the stream, several wounded people surrounded me, sat down next to me casually, and said: "We have all heard that your marksmanship is like a god, and you have also organized a cold-gun unit to shoot cold-gunned, can you let us see a few shots?" ”

"What? Don't want to hear my story anymore? I quipped.

"Hey, you don't tell good stories," one of the fighters replied, "This makes you tell stories, either by telling the story of the warrior, or by saying that the enemy came up and knocked down a row of grenades, never saying that he was not ...... energetic."

"That's it" Another soldier also agreed: "We all want to hear how you command the troops on the battlefield to defeat the enemy's ace troops, who knows that you will talk about others so we have to listen to your story, we might as well listen to Lao Liu."

Lao Liu is the old soldier who lost his eyes, and they almost persevered from the beginning to the end of the Shangganling Campaign, so they also knew a lot about me, so they naturally shook out all my "deeds" to the soldiers who were full of curiosity without reservation.

Because the "chief of staff" was in the hospital, the soldiers were more casual with each other, and a small soldier with bandages on his head came forward, looked at my rifle enviously and said: "I have seen a lot of this gun, but the gun still has a 'telescope', this is the first time I have seen it, can you let me take a look?" ”

"No......" I casually handed over the rifle.

"Hey, I can see it clearly" The little soldier took the gun and aimed at the other side of the river, and exclaimed excitedly: "Chief of Staff, it will be much easier to aim at the enemy with this telescope."

"I said pony, it depends on who made the shot."

"It's that the chief of staff can knock down eight bullets in a row, and it's good if you can hit one."

When the soldiers next to them heard this, they started to laugh.

"I don't believe it," said the little warrior called Pony a little unconvinced, "with this little 'telescope', the enemy is right in front of you, this ...... Can this still be missed? ”

"Then you're going to try?" The other warriors said with interest.

"Chief of Staff, can I try?" The pony was 'excited' by the warrior next to him, and asked with a red face and a thick neck.

I couldn't help but feel amused that the pony was like a child, and he took all those jokes seriously. But seeing his face full of anticipation and seriousness, it was not easy to ruin him and the soldiers' interest. Besides, at this time, the supply of guns and ammunition for our army will not be in short supply, and it is not a big deal to practice marksmanship in peacetime. So he smiled and nodded, and handed over a magazine casually.

Despite his young age, but he still seemed to have some work on his hands, he familiarly loaded the rifle with the magazine, raised the gun and set it up, and then "banged" twice......

The noise of the soldiers next to him began to sound again, because the pony didn't know where the two bullets had flown to, and the pony didn't know where to put his face. In fact, he can't be blamed for this, the butt of the gun is a little crooked, and it is really not easy to get accurate as soon as you get started.

"Chief of Staff, you try"

"Yes, Chief of Staff," Pony handed me the gun and said embarrassedly, "Try it so I can learn"

It's not good to let the soldiers ruin their fun, and it's a bit of a skill to be shot a few times by the pony, so he took the rifle and fired a ......few shots at a branch across the river.

"Good" the soldiers shouted, and they watched carefully, and the shots hit the branches. But I could also hear that the cheers of the warriors were not very enthusiastic, because the tree on the opposite side was only a hundred meters from where we were, and it seemed easy to do this, and it seemed that a random person from among the fighters could make such a result.

But what they don't know is that the really good ones are still in the last shot......

"Bang" The last bullet 'fired' out, and the thick branch of the bowl was completely broken with a "whirring".

This time, the soldiers were silent, and they all looked at each other and couldn't believe that I had done it on purpose, but the truth made them have to believe it.

It is not difficult to hit all the bullets on the branches, but to break a branch with these few bullets, and with a high degree of certainty that the last bullet will break the branch, it is not something that ordinary people can do. At the very least, the bullets that are 'fired' out must be roughly on the same cross-section of the branch, which is no less difficult than hitting the bull's-eye.

After a while, there was a round of applause, and there were volunteer soldiers clapping in this direction

At this time, a familiar figure suddenly ran in front of me like the wind, and shouted out pantingly: "Company Commander Cui"

"Are you ......" I couldn't help but be stunned when I looked at the nurse in front of me, although I felt familiar, but she was wearing a mask on her face, and I really couldn't remember who it was for a while.

"It's really you, it's really you......" The nurse in front of her muttered a few times. Suddenly realizing something, she slowly took off the mask hanging on her ears, and 'revealed' her delicate face, which was full of exhaustion and excitement.

"Golden Autumn Lotus"

I didn't expect to run into her here

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"You said you didn't want to run into me here, but you still let you run into me anyway" Sitting on the stump by the river, listening to the stream rippling beside me, I couldn't help but think of the past.

I forgot that it was in the first few battles, and it was a bit 'mixed' after more battles. Anyway, in Seoul, this little girl was a little scared of fighting, so I arranged her to the hospital in the rear by relying on my relationship. When we parted, the girl said something related to me, "Don't let me see you in the rear." I didn't expect to see it in the rear now, but this farewell has been nearly a year.

"It's okay" Jin Qiulian looked me up and down with a smile on her face, and said, "There are no missing arms or 'legs', it's much better than I imagined."

"Hey, I'm going to tell you to accumulate some virtues, okay?"

"Isn't it a good thing to say that there are no missing arms and no 'legs'?" Jin Qiulian chuckled: "Do you still want me to say what your shortcomings are...... That's what you call being virtuous? ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel helpless, it's been so long, why hasn't this little girl changed at all, she still likes to fight so much.

"Company Commander Cui...... Oh, now it should be called Chief of Staff Cui" Jin Qiulian walked a few steps to the stream, and while washing the blood stains on her hands with the stream water, she turned around and asked, "Didn't you hear that you became the head of the regiment?" Why are you here now? I've been to the army to look for you a few times, and they all say you're not there. It's strange to me that your troops are fighting, but you, the regimental commander, can run around twice in three days. Honestly, do you not want to see me or is there another reason? ”

"Hmm, this ......" I couldn't help but be a little speechless when Jin Qiulian asked me like this, could it be that I still want to tell him that it was because Li Pinghe considered the style of work, so he made this excuse? Betraying one's comrades is something that would never be done, although it's nothing.

After thinking about it, I replied half-truthfully: "The capable person works hard, the superiors said that I have good marksmanship, so they sent me everywhere to organize cold gun troops to shoot cold guns, and it is not uncommon for me to run around......

I suddenly felt like a strict wife, which had nothing to do with her having to find excuses to lie and prevaricate everywhere

"Spare you" Jin Qiulian didn't have the slightest doubt about my words, shook the water on her hand, came to me and uncovered the gauze on the knife wound on my 'leg', and said: "Let me see the wound, it's healing well, it won't take a few days...... Just be discharged."

When I said the latter sentence, I noticed that she frowned, which was a very strange thing for her.

"Have you been in this hospital all this time?" I asked casually.

"Hmm" Jin Qiulian helped me re-tie the gauze on my 'legs', sat in front of me and replied: "There are more than a dozen wounded people living in the courtyard at the end of the village, and I have been there to take care of them for a while, but I didn't expect that we were only separated by a few rooms, but we didn't meet until now."

I couldn't help but smile wryly, secretly saying that this god is really a bit of a trickster. After thinking about it, he asked again: "Then how did you know I was here just now?" ...... along the way"

"Gunshots" Jin Qiulian hugged her 'legs' around her eyes, looked at me with a smile in her eyes, and said: "Everyone's footsteps are different, just like the rhythm of everyone's heartbeat is also different. So everyone's shooting habits are different, and I'm also a soldier under you, and I've been fighting with you for a few days, so when I hear the gunshot, I know it's you."

"Nurse Kim......" Someone on the other side of the forest shouted.

Jin Qiulian immediately jumped up and said to me: "I'm going to be busy, you take care of your injuries, and I'll come back to you when I'm free."

As he spoke, he hurriedly ran out of the forest, and after a while, he turned around and threatened viciously: "Warning you, don't run away secretly"

I couldn't help but feel a little funny when I heard it, saying that the battlefield can make a person mature quickly, but this sentence didn't seem to apply to her at all. But it was her innocence that made me feel a little beautiful beyond the battlefield, and a little bit of purity beyond the bloody killing.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of Lin Xue, who was far away in China, and unconsciously compared the two of them. Although both of them are women heroes from the military, and their marksmanship seems to be good, they each have their own characteristics.

Lin Xue, her scheming seems to be a little heavier. I know how to play small tricks and small 'tricks', for example, she has a way to let others compare marksmanship with me, which achieves the purpose of crossing the mountain, and takes the opportunity to know my marksmanship, and for example, when she finally separates from me, she also knows how to make a pun, and tells me what she wants to say by saying goodbye to Li Ping, and even prepared a note in advance, and stuffed the note in my hand when she shook hands with me to say goodbye. I think it has something to do with the fact that she was born in a political family, and she usually learns something from her ears and eyes.

On the other hand, Jin Qiulian, although she has much more actual combat experience than Lin Xue and has experienced much more suffering, she is as innocent as a child. And I think that the reason why she is afraid on the battlefield is not because she is afraid of death, but because she can't stand so many people dying by her side and in front of her. This is emotionally difficult for her to accept. This should be the 'sexual' personality she has cultivated since she was a child hunting in the mountains with her grandfather.

If I had to choose between the two of them, which one would I choose?

I stood up and patted ***, stretched and walked out of the woods. If this question were for me in modern times, I might be very entangled, and maybe I would be proud. It's never been possible to have two 'girl' kids like me at the same time, and both of them are beautiful 'girls'......

But now, I don't want to worry about it.

Isn't there a poem?

"Life is precious, but love is even more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown"

This poem was once regarded as a classic by me in college, and I even took it for granted that the status of love was above life. At that time, I had never experienced life and death on the battlefield; I have not tasted the constant threat of death; He didn't fight hard in the encirclement of the enemy, just so that he could survive

So, at that time, I was sentimental and trapped by love, which is understandable. But now I won't, because I've been through this.

As the saying goes, many things are only known when they are lost. Life is the same, when we have it, many times we don't think it's important, and even feel that life is meaningless. It is only when we are on the verge of loss that we truly understand how important life is.

Love is not the whole of life, and it is not more precious than life, it is only a part of life

So at this moment, at this moment when I could lose my 'life' at any time, I don't want to add to my worries because I can't choose, everything will just go naturally.

Shi Shiran walked out of the forest, only to find that it was already evening. When I returned to the ward and had used the dinner that the hygienist had brought me, it was getting dark.

On the battlefield I prefer the night, because the night is our protective 'color'. In modern times, I also like the night, because it means that I have finished my day's work and sit in front of the computer and enjoy my own time. But here, I don't like the night, because here I can't seem to do anything but lie in the bed in a daze

So I lay on the 'bed' in a daze, next to the red light of kerosene from the shell box. The light flickered on and off with the beating of the kerosene lamp, and several times I thought it would go out, but it stubbornly glowed again.

It's like my life, and many times I thought I had no chance of surviving, but I survived until now. Even the injuries are insignificant, which cannot but be said to be a miracle. Could it be that this is God's gift to this world? Am I immortal?

Although I had this suspicion, I still didn't dare to try it lightly

While I was thinking wildly, there was a faint roar of airplanes in the sky. I immediately turned over and sat up on the 'bed', and opened the shell box as fast as I could, blowing out the kerosene lamp inside. Although I knew very well that the pilots in the sky would not have noticed this ray of light, it was necessary just in case.

"Woo wow...... A piercing air defense siren sounded at this time, followed by the light of more than a dozen searchlights in the distance shining into the sky, and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns also began to roar.

"Chief of Staff, come with me into the air-raid 'shelter'" The hygienist Xiao Zhao hurriedly ran in and helped me to walk out of the 'door'.

"Wait, my gun," I said, turning back and grabbing my rifle, wondering: how could the Yankee planes still find out where the hospital was when the lights were so tightly controlled.
