Chapter 5 The Middle Ambush
Life in Xiyangli is comfortable and comfortable, especially after clearing out the spies lurking in the team, Xiyangli can almost be said to be away from the war. Of course, the sound of artillery coming from the front line and the occasional 'commotion' of intruding into a few US planes still remind me that this is the battlefield.
But I didn't think it was a battlefield, because I didn't have to worry about starvation and cold, and the pits in the wards were hot at all times, except for fear of attracting enemy planes at night. I don't have to worry about running out of bullets, in fact, even if there are no bullets here, I won't be weak-minded, and the bullets in the rifle are basically consumed by practicing marksmanship; I don't even have to worry about losing my 'life' at any time, since the puppet army spies were almost wiped out by our ambush, no enemy has dared to attack our hospital.
In addition, there is occasionally Jin Qiulian by her side to tune **...... Hehe, that doesn't seem like the right word. However, this is indeed the case, and perhaps it is the North Korean 'women' who are more daring, and the North Korean 'women' of this era are even better than the modern 'women'. However, this can also be understood, there are fewer North Korean men and more 'female', and if all the North Korean 'female' people are still subtle and shy, then in a few years, North Korea is afraid that there will be no men to fight.
As a North Korean 'woman', Jin Qiulian will also be affected to some extent. In this era, the 'women' in China are very careful, and they are like engaging in an underground party, and they have to pretend not to know each other in public, and in 'private' they are secretly holding hands, at most hugging ......
However, Jin Qiulian dared to make intimate gestures in broad daylight, and even asked me if I liked her in front of everyone, so that the soldiers would make fun of us when they had nothing to do, and often 'made' me embarrassed.
Although I, as a modern person, I will not be so feudal, but now the soldiers around me are still in an "unopened" state emotionally, and it is really not good to see us influence like this. This is still me, and it would be strange if it were someone else, and it would not be said that it was a "style issue" and put on the political level.
But fortunately, there are constantly wounded people sent down on the front line, and Jin Qiulian is busy in the ward most of the time, which also makes my ears a lot quieter.
"Chief of Staff"
On this day, I was fiddling with the rifle in my hand by the river, and the warrior Wang Xinhe came to my side.
There is a saying that being born in sorrow and dying in peace, although living in such an environment is a pleasure, I still keep reminding myself that in the near future, when the 180th Division enters the DPRK, I will go to the battlefield again. If I settle for the status quo, it is likely that it will take a while to adjust to the hardships and dangers of the battlefield, just like last time.
Who can say for sure what is going on the battlefield? Last time, maybe I was lucky enough not to let the enemy collapse during the adaptation phase. Maybe I won't have that luck next time. So when I was almost healed from my injury, I began to practice my body and marksmanship every day, and occasionally practiced lurking in the snow......
Although the nurse and the hygienist did not agree with me to practice latent, saying that it would not be good for me to recuperate, I lay down in the snow and no one could find me
"Chief of Staff" Wang Xinhe handed me a cigarette, lit it and asked, "What about your little daughter-in-law?" Why didn't you come today? β
"Lao Wang, you're laughing at me again," I couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Wang Xinhe was a platoon commander under Company Commander Li, because he was a sharpshooter in the guard company, and it is said that he won the first place in several marksmanship competitions organized by the division. When he heard that I was good at marksmanship, he tried to compete with me. His marksmanship was so good that he and I couldn't tell the difference between him and me when he was still stuff.
In a way, I also had a bit of an advantage, because my rifle was scoped. It wasn't until we changed the way we competed and I interrupted the trunk of a Jindalee 'flower' tree that was constantly swaying in the cold wind that he was convinced. came and went, and the two became friends.
"What are you laughing at" Wang Xinhe grinned, 'showing' a mouth full of yellow teeth: "I think Comrade Jin is 'very' good, you can consider the Peugeot of the person's length, whether it is marksmanship, it is difficult to find a lantern."
"Isn't there discipline from above?" I replied casually: "It is said that our volunteers cannot have a male 'female' relationship with a North Korean girl."
"Hmph" Wang Xinhe shook his head and smiled: "Do you think any soldier has been punished for having a male 'female' relationship with a North Korean girl?" β
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard it, I really didn't
"This matter," Wang Xinhe said mysteriously: "Don't be a fool, North Korean men have fought almost all the wars, and Chairman Kim also encouraged North Korean 'women' to find our volunteers, and some of our troops have fallen behind, and let North Korean 'women' be dragged to give birth to children, don't the superiors know?" Have you heard of anyone who gave the punishment? β
I also heard about this in modern times, and the veterans of the volunteer army who returned to China also said: "There are three fears of falling behind in North Korea, one is afraid that they will not be able to find the troops, the second is afraid of encountering puppet army spies, and the third is afraid of letting North Korean 'women' be arrested and have children."
"So, ah......" Wang Xinhe concluded: "If you are really satisfied, you can accept it, you don't have to think too much about the things in the future, you may not even lose your life on this battlefield, what do you want to do so much?" β
To be honest, I am indeed a little moved by Wang Xinhe's words. If it is from the point of view of the volunteer soldiers, Wang Xinhe's remarks will be fixed as a "style problem" again. But this is what he really thinks in his heart, and I also know that the reason why he said this to me so reassuringly was because he regarded me as his own person and brother, and what he said was from his heart without barriers. It sounds a bit undisciplined, but it's very pertinent.
However, I still shook my head and rejected Wang Xinhe's suggestion with a wry smile that "when there is a 'flower' fold, it needs to be folded". It's not because I'm afraid of breaking discipline, in fact I've always been an undisciplined soldier. Not to mention feudal thinking, I, a person from modern times, have never experienced what feudalism is since I was a child...... I feel that I also have feelings for Jin Qiulian, and I can't bear to "don't think too much about things in the future", although she is really like Wang Xinhe said now, "I can't tell when I will sacrifice".
"Think about it" Wang Xinhe patted me on the shoulder, stood up and put the gun on his back, and squeaked back to the room in the snow.
I was left alone to sit on the chair and think quietly, this is a problem, volunteer soldiers are also people, they also have needs, don't look at them all because of discipline because of the style of the people did not say it, but in fact, no matter who will have such thoughts, as long as he is a normal person.
"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff" While I was stunned, a communicator rushed all the way and shouted: "Chief of Staff, there is your phone number, saying that it is the ...... of the 180th Division"
"What? 180 division? I jumped up, turned around and ran towards Company Commander Li's company.
"Here......" As soon as I ran to the company headquarters, Company Commander Li smiled and pointed to one of the phones on the table, and said to me: "I have been looking forward to it day and night, and I have finally made you look forward to it."
I didn't answer, I raised the phone into the microphone and panted and said, "Hey, I'm Cui Wei"
"Captain Cui? I'm Pang Kechang," came the voice of Master Pang on the other end of the phone.
"Master Pang" couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this: "Has our army entered the court?"
"Yes," Master Pang replied, "Because entering the dynasty is highly confidential, I can't tell you in advance." Now that our troops are in Wenden, let's go back to the troops, and the soldiers miss you very much."
"Good...... I'll go back right ......."
Before I could finish speaking, the voices of the soldiers came from the other end of the phone:
"Commander Cui, comrades are waiting for you"
"Captain Cui, let's come back and fight devils together"
"Let me come, let me come...... It's my turn."
"Don't squeeze, I'm not done yet"
β¦β¦
Listening to the 'messy' voice on the other end of the phone, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly. These lovely warriors will be orderly and tacit at all times, even when they are facing a powerful enemy and want to return to the tunnel, but at this time, they will rush together, and as a result, no one can say a complete word to me, and I cannot say a word to them.
I hung up the phone with a wry smile, and then couldn't wait to say to Dean Zhang, who was standing next to Company Commander Li, "Dean Zhang, I can be discharged from the hospital."
"No" Dean Zhang shook his head solemnly, just when the soldiers beside him were puzzled, he didn't expect him to come up again: "You have to complete the discharge procedures."
There was a coax, and the soldiers all burst into laughter. Who would have thought that Dean Zhang, who has always loved to talk clichΓ©s, would make a joke today.
"Chief of Staff" Company Commander Li patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's almost dark now, and it's time to leave." Go get your luggage ready, I'll find you a car, and arrange for two more fighters to give you a ride."
"Okay, thank you" I didn't shirk it, shook Company Commander Li's hand, turned around and went back to the room to clean up.
There wasn't much luggage, a kettle, a marching quilt, a bag of dry food, plus some ***, but it was ready in ten minutes. A soldier is like that, he must always be ready to set off and ready to march.
Fasten the strap of the pistol at your waist, put the rifle behind your back, and turn around to walk towards the 'door'. Suddenly found Jin Qiulian standing in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"You're going back to the army, aren't you?" was silent for a long time, but Jin Qiulian opened her mouth first.
"Hmm," I nodded.
"You said it, you want to take me away" Jin Qiulian's small mouth curled, and she glared at me and said: "What you said can't be counted"
I smiled and shook my head: "I finally got you to the hospital in the rear, and now you want me to 'got' you to the front line?" How many days do you want me to 'get' you back? β
"Who likes to toss like that?" Jin Qiulian couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, let you go, but when I go to look for you, you are not allowed to be absent."
Then she straightened my collar, leaned into my arms, and said softly: "Be careful, promise me, you must come back alive"
"Hmm" I nodded, almost intoxicated by her tenderness.
There is a saying called "Gentle Township Hero Mound", and this sentence is really good. At this moment, I suddenly had an urge not to go to the battlefield again, just thinking about how far I would go with Jin Qiulian, no longer caring about the fights and killings on the battlefield, no longer risking my life all the time, to live a happy life in a place where no one was.
But in the end, he slowly calmed down, and gently pushed Jin Qiulian and said, "I'll be back, don't worry"
"Hmm" Jin Qiulian nodded silently with tears in her eyes.
When I passed by, Jin Qiulian suddenly seemed to remember something, and called out from behind: "Chief of Staff......"
"Hmm" I turned my head and looked at Jin Qiulian suspiciously.
"That ......" Jin Qiulian hesitated and said: "The spies of the puppet army have suffered such a big loss here, they must hold a grudge, maybe they are watching us somewhere outside, you must be more careful when you go out"
"Well, I will," I nodded, waved at her, and gritted my teeth and walked towards the car that Company Commander Li had provided.
I resisted the urge to turn back and walked all the way to the car compartment, where Wang Xinhezheng and another soldier were waiting for me, and it seemed that they were the people who had arranged for Company Commander Li to see me off. Wang Xinhe looked at me, smiled meaningfully and shook his head, and then stretched out a hand to pull me up.
"Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
β¦β¦
The wounded, sick and soldiers in Xiyang waved at me around the car, and then I couldn't help but turn around and search for Jin Qiulian's figure in the crowd, but I couldn't find anything, and I couldn't help but bow my head in disappointment.
"I regret it," Wang Xinhe 'revealed' a mouthful of yellow teeth and laughed.
I just didn't hear it, the car started with a bang, and it staggered down the road.
Xiyang gradually disappeared into the night, the cold wind blew into the carriage in bursts, and I was used to the warm environment, but I actually felt pain. I just don't know if this pain is the pain of parting, or because of the pain of cold.
Wang Xinhe leaned out and put down the rain cloth, which saved us from the 'commotion' of the cold wind, but the darkness in the carriage that I couldn't see my fingers made me tear off the tough mask, and I couldn't hold back the loss in my heart anymore, and the whole person leaned on the carriage weakly.
As usual, in order to avoid being discovered by enemy planes, the headlights of the car were 'covered' with two black cloths, and the driver could only 'grope' his way forward in the dim light. Coupled with the fact that the road is crooked and the road is full of thick snow, the car is moving slowly. This is also the reason why, when we first entered the DPRK, we were able to catch up with the enemy's cars and tanks with our two 'legs'.
Of course, this can only happen in mountainous North Korea, and it is impractical to do so in an open area of South Korea.
With a "s......queak", Wang Xinhe lit a match and immediately drove away the darkness in the carriage. Then Wang Xinhe took advantage of the fact that the match was not burned out, and one of us gave us a cigarette, and re-lit a match to help us light the cigarette.
In the smoke, a little fire on the cigarette butt vaguely illuminated everyone's face, so that the carriage was no longer as dark as before, and the conversation box was opened.
"Chief of Staff, his name is Lin Xiaoxu" Wang Xinhe pointed to the soldier beside him and said: "He admires your skills very much, I heard that Company Commander Li is going to arrange someone to send you, he insisted on asking to come with me, Chief of Staff, you can not only hook 'women', but also men."
As he spoke, he laughed, and the laughter was as ugly as it sounded.
"Chief of Staff" Lin Xiaoxu was embarrassed by Wang Xinhe's introduction, and hurriedly saluted me and said: "When I came to be a soldier, my father and my mother must work hard in the army, and I want to be a hero like the chief of staff."
"Comrade" I patted Lin Xiaoxu on the shoulder and said: "Your father and your mother's words are wrong, don't compete to be a hero in the army, the most important thing is to 'save yourself and destroy the enemy', understand?" β
"Ming, understand" Lin Xiaoxu 'touched' his head as if he didn't understand, and then as if he really understood, he clenched his fists and said: "I must work hard, save my life and strive to kill a few more enemies"
I shook my head helplessly. Actually, I want to tell him that the most important thing is to go back to take care of his family alive, but I can't say that, because this would be a mistake in political consciousness in this era, so I can only use a profound sentence of "save yourself and destroy the enemy" to mention him, but now it seems that it has no effect at all.
The car swayed and bumped on the road, and during this time in the hospital, I developed the habit of sleeping at night, and because I didn't dare to light the lights at night and didn't move, the drowsiness soon came. After a while, I fell asleep in a daze amid the roar of the car.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly an explosion woke me up, and before I could open my eyes, the world was spinning. At this moment, I was still in a half-asleep state, and I couldn't figure out what the situation was, but Discord couldn't resist rolling along with the carriage, and occasionally I felt something hit me and hurt ......
When I finally stopped the rolling, I realized that the car was on all fours, the front of the car was on fire, and the strong smell of gasoline and burnt gas was constantly pouring in from the cab. In the firelight, the driver and co-pilot had already collapsed in a pool of blood.
"Chief of Staff, are you okay, he **, there is an ambush" Wang Xinhe pulled me, but he didn't pull it.
I moved, only to realize that my right foot had been stuck by the deformed body. Wang Xinhe spat a mouthful of saliva into his palm, holding the deformed part and breaking it vigorously, but there was still no movement......
"You guys go quickly," I ordered.
Because I knew that there would be an enemy approaching us outside the carriage, and that if we continued like this, there would be no other chance than the three of us dying together.
