Chapter 81: Telephone

My body recovered quickly, after all, it was only a few minor injuries, I ate well and slept well in the hospital, and after three or four days, it was almost the same, but the two knife wounds to my left arm and big 'leg' were still a little painful.

Maybe it was because the conversation with Jin Qiulian that night was not very pleasant, so Jin Qiulian hasn't given me a good face in the past few days. Except for changing my 'medicine' on time, I hardly said a word. Sometimes I can't bear to see her eyes red and swollen, I want to comfort her a few words but I don't know what to say, I'm this 'problem', I usually seem to be able to speak, but I don't know how to coax a 'girl' child. I think this is also the reason why in real life, several relationships ended without a problem, it seems that my peach 'flower' luck has not improved because I came to this time and space......

Lin Xue had also come to see me a few times, and she also clearly felt that something was wrong with Jin Qiulian. After asking me a few times, I always found a random reason to prevaricate the past, or to talk about him left and right. I don't want to tell Lin Xue that set of real "excuses" anymore, otherwise, Lin Xue's reaction may be stronger than Jin Qiulian's. Maybe you'll think I'm crazy because my brain has been broken

yes, who can believe that I am a man sixty years from now? Even I have a hard time believing it, and sometimes I wonder: am I dreaming? If it's a dream, then which plane is true and which plane is false? Did I dream back to 1953 in 2011 or did I dream in 1953 and dream of all the experiences of 2011.

I don't think anyone will be able to answer this question, and all I can do seems to be to grasp the truth in front of me.

But now that I've done everything I can, what more could I want? Continue to stay on this plane? Still is......

"Report" Just as I was lying on the pit and wandering too weakly, two KPA soldiers walked in respectfully with dishes, chopsticks and food.

"Commander Cui has eaten," the KPA soldier said to me in the newly learned Chinese, and the two of them quickly placed a small low table on the pit, and then brought a plate of food up and lifted the lid. Suddenly, a burst of fragrance filled the room, and it quickly aroused my appetite.

I sat up from the pit and without saying a word, picked up my chopsticks and started to do it. Anyway, the food in Pyongyang is good, isn't it? A small bowl of steaming chicken soup, a chicken egg, a few green vegetables, and a can of kimchi with a very North Korean color, plus a large bowl of fragrant white rice......

This kind of life may be ordinary to me in modern times, but it is definitely a high-quality enjoyment in this era, although there are only two small pieces of 'meat' in that bowl of 'chicken' soup.

You know, this was during the war years, when we on the front line were still eating fried noodles that could only satisfy our hunger, and many soldiers had bad mouths like something because of a lack of vitamins, but I could have a big ear here.

As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't get off the chopsticks, so I asked vaguely in Korean: "Comrade Li, Comrade Park, do other wounded people also have such food?" ”

Comrade Li and Comrade Park were the two KPA orderlies who served me food, the younger one was named Li Tongqi, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. The wrinkled man named Park Ho-in, who was in his fifties, later learned that Park Ho-in was actually only in his early forties, and people who lived during the war years always looked much older than they really were. If this is in the modern era of peace, men in their early forties are in the prime of life

At first, I wondered how a person of Park Ho-in's age could still be a soldier in the People's Army. There are few men in North Korea, so if you have a little combat experience, you can also 'mix' a platoon commander or company commander, and after asking later, I found out that Park Haoren had never fought at all, and he was originally a farmer. There was really no one in the army to use him, so he was pulled up as an orderly. This also explains why the KPA guards or orderlies I met in the hospital were either elderly or children, and some were even wounded soldiers with missing arms......

"Report to Commander Choi" Park Ho-in replied: "The other wounded also have this kind of food, the rice is supported by your Chinese comrades, the vegetables are grown by the Korean people, and the 'chickens' are raised by us."

"Almost? What does it mean? ”

"Report to Regiment Commander Choi" Without waiting for Park Haoren to answer, Li Tongqi pointed to the bowl of 'chicken' soup and 'chicken' eggs, swallowed his saliva and replied: "Ordinary wounded people don't have these, because you are the regiment commander, so you ......"

"Oh" When I heard Li Tongqi's words, I understood, this is the hierarchy of the People's Army, and those who are cadres in their army should naturally be superior to others, and it is natural that there should be orderlies. I should have thought a long time ago, if I were not a regimental commander but just an ordinary soldier, how could I have a separate ward by myself, with infusion bottles hanging all day long, a special nurse to take care of them, and even two orderlies

Thinking of this, I couldn't eat this meal anymore, and I felt like a choked thorn in my throat, and I fidgeted like a needle under my buttocks.

It's not because I'm noble, it's not that I'm good-minded, my thoughts are actually very simple, those soldiers who came down from the battlefield with me, they are all brothers who live and die with me. We shed the same blood on the battlefield and fought for the same life, so why should they eat worse than me?

I pointed to the 'chicken' soup and 'chicken' eggs, and said to Lee Tong-kai and Park Ho-in, who were standing beside me, "I'll give you these."

"Commander...... This, this is not good" Park Haoren said a little numbly, but Li Tongqi was already 'dewed' with joy and 'salivation' on his face.

"It's an order," I was a little impatient.

"Yes" Li Tongqi and Park Haoren glanced at each other, and after saluting, they trembled and brought the 'chicken' soup and 'chicken' eggs aside.

Looking at the KPA orderlies who didn't even gnaw their bones, I couldn't help but sigh: it's time to end this war. The harm and suffering that war brings to a country is not just a soldier fighting on the battlefield.

At this time, a People's Army guard saluted me at the entrance of the 'gate' and reported: "Commander Cui, your phone call is from Commander Pang."

Hearing this, I hurriedly got up from the bed, put on my cotton coat, and walked towards the door.

In the past few days in the hospital, I have always wanted to contact Master Pang, but no one knows the contact information, and I don't know where to call even if I have a phone. That's how it is when you go to war, everything on the front line is a military secret. What is easy to do on the front line will feel difficult to move on when you take a back seat.

However, this is also normal, if I can hang up the phone of the 180th Division headquarters in the hospital, it means that our army's troops have no secrets about the enemy's agents. So I had to wait patiently for Master Pang to contact me, and now I finally got to wait.

I followed the KPA guards on the gravel road for a while, and the wounded I met along the way, whether they were from the KPA or the volunteers, were saluting me. During the time I was hospitalized, they already knew that I, the commander of the 538th Regiment, had just finished a big battle and was recuperating here. At the same time, my combat experience has also been passed on to hundreds, and even after word of mouth, some things can almost be said to have deified them.

For example, on the evening of the first day, I walked out of the ward alone after dinner. At that time, few people would know me, and I was stunned to hear the wounded soldiers along the way talking about me, including volunteers and people's army.

"Hey, Comrade Volunteers, I heard that the commander of the 538th Regiment who lives in ward No. 9 is the 538th regiment?"

There are many soldiers in the People's Army who have served in China, and many of them can speak Chinese, so there is no difficulty in 'communicating' them.

"I don't know, I don't know."

From this sentence, I can hear that the guard platoon that escorted me did a good job of secrecy.

"Eighty-nine is not far from ten, didn't you see the two tanks escorted that day? If only the little people could have this kind of pomp."

I soon realized that I looked up to the comrades of the guard platoon too much, and they were keeping their mouths tight while still making a high-profile appearance, which was not sure to tell the puppet army agents that I was a big man?

"I heard that I was injured in order to block the retreat of the four divisions of the puppet army"

"One regiment blocks the puppet army's four divisions ......"

"What is this? I heard that the regimental headquarters of the White Tiger Regiment were also defeated," the volunteer soldier said this, his tone was full of pride

"White Tiger Regiment, defeat their regimental headquarters...... It can't be blown, right? "Of course, the soldiers of the People's Army know the power of the puppet army White Tiger Regiment, so they will be suspicious of this.

"This is still false, I heard that the flag of the White Tiger Regiment has been confiscated with a tiger head, and it says 'Winner', right, everyone who came down from the front line knows it"

With a coax, these words immediately set off an uproar in the camp of the People's Army*. The volunteer soldiers are depicted so meticulously and accurately, and they cannot be disbelieved.

"Is he the Cui staff officer who hit Ganling?"

"That's right, it's him"

"I heard that he also used a rifle to destroy enemy tanks, is it true?"

"Then there is a fake ......"

Hearing the latter words getting more and more outrageous, I was a little dizzy. I really don't know when I used a foot machine to destroy a puppet army's tank. However, it seems that there was indeed a time when the American army's flame ** device was ignited after it ignited the American tank, but this can't be said - destroy the tank with a rifle

"Head Cui...... "Just when I couldn't cry or laugh, Jin Qiulian shouted fiercely behind me: "It's time to change the 'medicine'"

So, everyone's eyes turned to me, and they all realized that I was the god who they said could kill tanks with a rifle. So much so that after that, wherever I went, as soon as I walked out of the room, there were wounded and sick people standing on both sides of the room saluting me, some of them on crutches.

This hospital was originally a small school, and I don't know when it started, because there were too many wounded and there was nowhere to accommodate it, so the school was converted into a hospital. Thousands of sick and wounded were crammed here, so that wherever I went, there were people waiting to salute me, and even soldiers were rushed out of the wards......

This directly led to my lack of daring to take a step in the past few days. The first is that I can't stand the pomp and circumstance of two rows of people standing on the left and right every time I go out, and the second is that I don't want to let those wounded suffer anymore. So I hope that Master Pang can contact me as soon as possible and rescue me from this sea of suffering.

All the way back to the military salute, I hurriedly followed the KPA soldiers to the guard company headquarters. The company commander's surname was Kim, and he was a young officer with the rank of captain. Like all KPA officers, he was also dressed in a "straight" military uniform, with his horse "pants" and military boots on his feet.

To be honest, what I enjoyed most was having these KPA officers salute me. For some reason, when the wounded saluted me, I felt a little uncomfortable, but when the KPA officers saluted me, I felt comfortable. I only thought in my heart, you guys usually wear human and dog appearances in front of the soldiers, and I didn't see how majestic you were when you really fought. If I could, I'd rather walk around with them and toss them a little more if I had something to do

But now is not the time to think about these things, I nodded a little and took the microphone and said, "Report to the division commander, I am Cui Wei"

There was a hearty laugh from Master Pang in the microphone, and then I heard him say excitedly: "You kid, I knew you could make a name for yourself, and sure enough, I guessed it?" It's almost better."

"No problem, it's all skin trauma," I replied.

"Well, that's good," Master Pang replied, "Then take care of your injuries in the hospital, the situation is good now, don't worry about other problems." You're playing well, you're playing hard, it's time to rest for a while."

"Division Commander ......"

"Don't do this or that, just take care of your injuries" Master Pang didn't allow me to say more, interrupted me: "The puppet army has already asked you to give you a subdued paste, and now it looks like there is no battle to fight, you kid is really lucky"

Then he said a bunch of nonsensical things, as if he was purely concerned about my injury, and hung up the phone after a while.

I hung up the phone in confusion, and I didn't react for a long time.

There's no reason, I thought Master Pang was looking for me for some task? I thought he was going to let me return to the team when I was healed, but now......

Sullen back to the ward, lying on the 'bed' facing the roof made of cedar planks in a daze, after a while he fell asleep dizzily.

I don't know if it's because of the serious physical overdraft before and the body urgently needs to rest, or the reason why I enjoy the improvement of my quality of life, I have a hard time sleeping during this time, and I almost fell asleep as soon as I got into the pit. And I often slept for most of the day, and I didn't wake up until someone came close to my ward or Jin Qiulian came to change the 'medicine'.

This sleep is sleep, and the vigilance brought from the battlefield is still there. As long as there is a little footsteps around, sometimes even I don't know if I hear the footsteps, and I wake up inexplicably after sleeping well, and then after a while, someone will shout a report

It's the same when I wake up this time, but when I open my eyes, I find that it's night, and it's not the time to change the 'medicine' or the time to eat. After listening carefully for a while, I couldn't hear the footsteps, which couldn't help but raise my alert.

Turned over and sat up from the 'bed', grabbed a dagger under the pillow and hid behind the 'door'.

This dagger was for Jin Qiulian, my rifle and pistol had been lost in the battle at Heights 585.2, and when I woke up, all my equipment was unloaded from head to toe, even my underwear was new, and it was clear that someone had bathed me. I didn't even have a thorn in my body.

I also tried to ask the company commander of the People's Army Guard Company for a gun, which I was used to 'touching' the gun and 'touching' on the battlefield, and I always felt untruthful when I didn't have anything around to defend myself. But the KPA guy said it was safe here, and that they could protect me and make me believe in their abilities

All the soldiers who can fight in the People's Army have gone to the front line to fight, and the old and weak soldiers in the hospital still make me believe in their ability......

"Captain Cui...... Head Cui ...... "A black shadow gently 'touched' in.

I didn't say much, my left hand grabbed his neck from behind, and the dagger of my right hand pressed against his artery. Whispered, "Who are you?" Who sent you? ”

I obviously felt the guy in my hand tremble for a moment, and then said intermittently: "Commander Cui, don't, don't get me wrong, I'm Company Commander Jin"

"Hmm" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, but it sounded like a sound. But I still didn't let go of him, and there were a lot of doubts in my heart, such as why did he sneak in so late? Is there anything you can do to just call a soldier?

So he asked in a low voice, "Company Commander Jin, what's the matter with me so late?" ”

"Commander Cui" Company Commander Jin hurriedly explained: "This is an order from the superiors, the car that picked you up is already outside the big 'gate', I received the order to personally wake you and several other soldiers, I don't know about the rest."

"Oh" Listening to Company Commander Jin's words, and then thinking of Master Pang's strange performance, he quickly understood.

Obviously, Master Pang didn't want me to be attacked by puppet army agents on the way back like last time, so he was so careful.

He let go of his hand and put away the dagger, and said to Company Commander Jin apologetically: "I'm sorry Company Commander Jin, I thought you were a puppet army agent."

"It's okay, it's okay" Company Commander Jin breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Commander Cui, let's go with me, a few of your comrades are already waiting for you in the car"

Seeing that Company Commander Jin almost fell down when he walked out of the 'door', I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, if I really had to wait for him to protect me, I really don't know how many times I had died.
