Chapter 184 Letter
Chapter 184 Letter
Although the TV is black and white, and the image is very blurry because of the bad signal, the soldiers still have a taste to watch, and even applaud the "fine" programs from time to time, and sometimes they will be amused by the cross talk. Most of the soldiers are people who have never watched TV, and the strange thing is that the last side is all coming and going in a hurry.
I also lie comfortably on the 'bed' and enjoy this rare leisure, saying that since my time and space are 'chaotic', all the time is either war or training, and there is a rare time when I can relax without any burden and pressure, at this time I can freely lie on the 'bed' and eat and sleep when I want, and I can watch TV while nibbling melons when I am bored...... It feels like there's never been a better day.
At this time, I thought to myself: how nice it would be if I could live like this in the future!
But I also know that this is impossible, as a member of the Special Reconnaissance Group, and I am still the captain, we will never have a day off. If there is a real rest, it will either be the end of the war, or lying in a coffin......
It's funny to say, in modern times, lying in bed and watching TV can be said to be every day, and it can even be said that it is tired, but now it feels like an unattainable dream.
At this time, the cross talk on TV turned around, and the topic of heroes was discussed. Maybe it was because it was directly related to the fighters, or maybe the fighters thought it was a very serious topic, so they all quieted down. The one who laughed shut down, put down his hand after eating, and sat up on the bed...... No one gave any orders, and all the soldiers sat very consciously 'upright', as if they were being inspected by a long man!
I saw the first two cross talk actors in robes on TV singing and saying:
……
"For example, let's take the hero of this movie! He can't be killed! ”
"Huh?"
"This is evil!"
"Really? What's going on? ”
……
"Pap, papa, papa, papa......, why don't you get old?"
"Can't die! You can't die if you beat me into honeycomb coal! ”
"Why is that?"
"Heroes don't die!"
The audience on the TV burst into laughter, but all of us soldiers sitting in front of the TV were pale, and we all sat speechless as if we had been slapped in the face......
After a long time, the people from my hometown stepped forward and turned off the TV with a "pop", and then they 'smoked' a cigarette and squatted on the ground to light it and 'smoked' silently.
In fact, I also know that the original intention of this cross talk was to criticize things like unreasonable methods of making movies, but they didn't take into account how those of us who were soldiers would feel after watching this show. It's a strange feeling because we feel ...... He shed blood and sacrificed himself on the front line, and fought to the death of the Vietnamese on the front line for the motherland and the people...... But it will be used as a joke!
"Camp Commander Cui!" After a long time, the hometown stood up and walked up to me, took out a letter from his bosom, and said, "Remember that we made an appointment for each of us to write a letter to our family?" This letter is from Company Commander Xu, and he 'handed over' the letter to me when we left! ”
"Company Commander Xu ......" Hearing this, I couldn't help but think of Xu Yongjian, who stayed in Vietnam forever in order to cover our retreat, and his shouts rang in my mind over and over again: "Comrades! Go home for us! Go home for us......"
I slowly took the letter from my hometown, but I didn't understand the intention of my hometown, but after seeing the address written on the letter, I understood that Xu Yongjian was actually from Guangxi.
"Battalion commander!" "Most of the fighters are too far away from us, and we may not be able to deliver the letters in person," the native explained. But I sorted it out, and there are a few letters in Guangxi, I think...... Taking advantage of these few days of vacation, I personally delivered these letters to the family, I don't know ......"
"Let's go together!" I jumped up from the bed and said, "They are all my subordinates, and I am indispensable to deliver these letters!" ”
"I'll go too!"
"I'll go too! I'm Company Commander Xu's soldier! ”
"And me! Company Commander Xu saved our lives! ”
……
As soon as I said this, the warriors gathered around, all with tears and pleas in their eyes. Those sacrificed soldiers are our brothers in life and death, we are back, but they can only come back with a letter...... If we can't 'deliver' this letter to their families, are we still human?!
"Yo! What's going on? At this time, Political Commissar Yang pushed the 'door' and walked in, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" How not to watch TV? Broken TV? ”
"Commissar!" I casually took the letter and handed it up, 'straightened' up, and reported: "This is a letter left by our fallen soldiers......
"Hmm! No problem, I'll arrange for someone to deliver them! ”
"Commissar......" I replied hesitantly, "these sacrificed soldiers...... Some of them are from Guangxi, not far from here, and a three-day holiday is enough to go back and forth. We want to...... Send the letter in person, see their families, and see if there's anything that can help......"
Political Commissar Yang couldn't help but be silent, and then patted me on the shoulder and said: "You must know that this is an extraordinary time, your identities are all secret, and even people outside think that you have sacrificed, and you go out like this......"
"I understand!" I thought about it, and after glancing at the people from my hometown, I replied, "So be it! Let's go to a few people, change the name and go out as ordinary soldiers, go back, there shouldn't be any problems! ”
"Hmm!" After being silent for a while, Political Commissar Yang nodded and said, "I have to report this matter to my superiors first, as for whether I can go...... I can't guarantee it! ”
"Thank you, long!" I immediately 'straightened' up and saluted to Commissar Yang, and the soldiers also saluted, and some even secretly wiped their tears.
As the saying goes, men don't flick when they have tears, the soldiers shed blood and died on the battlefield, and they were tempered on the training ground, and they never said a word, but they couldn't help but shed tears at this time.
After a while, Political Commissar Yang came back with three steps and two steps, and he nodded at me and said, "The superior agreed!" However, it is required that your identity must not be revealed, the number of people must not exceed two, and you must return to the base on time after three days! ”
Before Political Commissar Yang finished speaking, the soldiers burst into cheers.
Only two people can go...... So who should go? I looked at the soldiers around me, all of them had a reason to go, some of the soldiers who died were their fellow countrymen, some were their comrades-in-arms and leaders...... Compared with them, my head as a battalion commander has become a little ordinary.
But when I was in a dilemma, the words of the warriors solved the problem.
"Battalion commander! You can go see them on our behalf! ”
"That's right! Company Commander Chen also went together! ”
"Say hello to your family on our behalf!"
……
"Battalion commander!" Li Zhifu came up, took out a few banknotes wrapped in plastic sheets from his pocket, and said: "I originally wanted to keep this money to buy a few cigarettes to 'smoke', and bring my family for me!" You reassure them that we are all good sons and brothers to them! ”
"That's right! We are all good sons and brothers to them! ”
"We'll go see them after the battle!"
……
The soldiers also followed the valuable things on their bodies, those who had money gave money, those who didn't have money took off the watches, necklaces and other things that they handed over from Yue Ghost, and those who really didn't have anything contributed all the cigarettes on their bodies, and let us go out to exchange for money and bring them to our families, and then even Commissar Yang donated ten yuan.
Maybe ten yuan is nothing in modern times, but in this era, ten yuan can buy a 'chicken' and a few bottles of wine, and then buy a few side dishes to eat well.
After it was over, Political Commissar Yang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up!" Stay for a while and go to the cooking class to get something, the empty hands are not good-looking, the money is also changed, and when you see the military family, you can say something nice...... That one...... I'll go and 'hand' Xiao Wang and let him drive you there!" Prepare your ...... first."
"Yes!" I couldn't help but salute Political Commissar Yang again, after working with Political Commissar Yang for so long, I have never felt that he is a respectable and admirable leader like now.
Then we and Commissar Yang went our separate ways, he went to prepare the car, while my hometown and I swarmed into the canteen surrounded by soldiers. At first, the people in the cooking class were reluctant, but as soon as they heard that we were taking things to send to the military families, they brought out a lot of things without saying a word, and they were 'chickens', ducks, and fish (people in this era love to send these), if it wasn't for the fear that we wouldn't be able to feed, then we would have to bear a cage......
But these things to the car as soon as it is lively, the call is good, wait for a while, the 'chicken' crowing and wait for a while the duck cries is annoying, but compared to the sound of guns on the battlefield, it is nothing, people can't stand it or 'get' the car full of feces! We were in a jeep, and there was no trunk for this thing, so the chickens and ducks could only be put on the seats and squeezed together with people.
With a "rumbling ......", seeing that we had finally finished moving our things, the driver Xiao Wang started the jeep and drove towards the highway.
The soldiers followed us all the way and waved goodbye to us, and some shouted not to forget to say hello on their behalf...... At this time, I didn't know what it was like, I knew that this trip was not just about sending a letter, but also about the soldiers' thoughts about their hometown, and their families and loved ones......
