Chapter Seventy-Seven Letters

The sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers gradually faded away, and the villagers of Anton waved to us from afar, and the soldiers did not stop waving goodbye to the villagers behind the carriage. When the car had turned a corner along the road, and finally they were no longer visible, the warriors sat back in their cars in silence.

The little folks are so welcoming! "As soon as the soldiers sat back in the carriage, they happily sorted out the fresh 'flowers' and condolences they had received.

"Yes! It made my hands sore. The back is also painful and the eyes are 'flower', or the motherland is good! "Another warrior arranged the fresh 'flowers' he had received, and then tied them into a large bunch with a rope, and held them in his hands to look left and right. Said happily: "I have never received so many fresh 'flowers'!" The villagers also call us the loveliest people." It's worth it for us to suffer so much! ”

"That's right!" Another soldier also said approvingly: "Seeing the villagers living a good life, seeing them all laughing so happily, and looking at the peace on this side of the Yalu River, it is not in vain that we shed blood and sacrificed on the battlefield."

Listening to these words of the warriors, I couldn't help but be silent.

How much is a warm blood worth? What is the price of a life?

I'm afraid that for everyone, the blood on their bodies and their own lives are priceless. After all, without these, any substance has lost its meaning.

But to say that they are priceless, in fact, they are also valuable.

This price is to hope that your motherland can be peaceful, that the people can live a good life, and that your family can be safe!

"Throw it off! Where are we going? Xu Yongwei, who was sitting next to me, couldn't help asking.

"Where?" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I realized that I didn't know the destination either.

"Whatever he goes!" Zhang Mingxue quickly answered: "This is in our China, there are no enemies anywhere, and we don't want to complete any tasks, we just have to eat and sleep well when we get to the place."

When Zhang Mingxue said this, the soldiers all laughed happily. If you want to say that everyone can enjoy this kind of enjoyment, the warriors are also human beings, and they will also know suffering, and of course they will also know enjoyment. We've endured enough on the battlefield, and it's our turn to enjoy ourselves comfortably.

"Little but" I want to go home and see, but I don't know if my superiors will agree! A soldier held a gun and said with some 'excitement': "I have been out for more than half a year, and I can't spend the New Year with my family, and now I don't know what is going on at home?" ”

"Don't worry!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Can I still let you go home when you're all here?" ”

"That is". The warriors laughed as they listened. Everyone had the excitement of returning to their homeland and the longing to go home and meet their loved ones. Some of the soldiers even excitedly sang the "Green 'Flowers' of the Barracks" that I taught them.

This kind of excitement and singing is also contagious, and perhaps it can be said that it is a tacit understanding cultivated by the soldiers who have cooperated on the battlefield for a long time! After a while, all the military vehicles before and after all the military vehicles came to the singing of "Green 'Flowers' in the Barracks". I don't know why, this military song, which was originally sad and once made the soldiers cry, now makes the soldiers sing it but seems to have a cheerful laugh.

The military vehicle drove in the direction of home in the setting sun amid the singing and laughter of the soldiers."

Little comrade! Don't eat fried noodles, we're coming! ”

The sky gradually darkened, and the soldier tried to untie the grain bag on his shoulder and take out the fried noodles to satisfy his hunger by the light of the flashlight, but was quickly stopped by the soldier in the passenger cab. He knocked on the glass separating the car from the cab and shouted at us, "In about ten minutes, we're ready to eat, but don't eat fried noodles now and stay for a while!" ”

"Boom!" With a bang, the carriage was hot again like a fried pot, and the soldiers who had already pulled out the fried noodles stuffed them back again, only to make the soldiers laugh.

"Tell me, what will you eat later? The fighters drooled as they spoke.

"I want a few pots of hot old wine!"

"I want to have a few bowls of hot rice!"

"If only there were a few plates of dumplings!

"A few more pork 'meat' buns! small

"Bang Bang" is when the fighters are talking happily. A series of firecrackers sounded outside the cold place, which startled the soldiers. Immediately, several soldiers suddenly grabbed the guns behind their backs, lifted the canvas behind the carriage and were about to jump out. After a while, he quickly reacted again, and all of them retreated to their seats in embarrassment, causing the other soldiers in the carriage to laugh, and I laughed self-deprecatingly.

The deputy director of the Public Security Bureau was right, the soldiers came down from the battlefield and had not yet been able to adapt to the days of a peaceful society, and as long as they were stabbed or frightened by the slightest stinging or frightening related to the battlefield, they would immediately react accordingly.

This reaction does not go through the brain, and can almost be said to be a kind of conditioned 'ejection'. Only in this way can we rush to the battlefield at the first time on the battlefield and fight back against the enemy's attack.

Just like those soldiers just now, when he heard the sound of firecrackers, he subconsciously did a good job of fighting, "At that old moment, I also had a kind of standing and moving." It's just that I just held back in time.

A cold wind poured in. Through the canvas lifted by the soldiers just now, we realized that we were already in a military camp, surrounded by volunteer soldiers wearing cotton clothes and hats. I took a look. It was found that many of them were wounded and sick and comrades of the medical team.

"Squeak!" With the sound of brakes. The cars came to a neat stop in a row.

"Comrades, you have worked hard!" As soon as we stepped out of the car, we were held together by a pair of hot hands.

"Excuse me, are you from the Tian Shi Zhao Group?" A middle-aged soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked.

"Yes!"

"Where's your captain?" After getting an affirmative answer. He asked again.

"I am!" I greeted him and said, "I am Cui Wei, the head of the trade group!" ”

"Hello, hello!" He held my hand tightly and said, "Captain Cui, we have been waiting for you for a long time, I thought you would arrive yesterday, but I didn't expect to come now!" ”

"Hmm!" I explained, "We had some trouble when we were about to get on the train, so we were a day late!" ”

I won't say much about what kind of trouble it is. The so-called misfortune comes from the mouth, and we soldiers are not to say it if we can, otherwise if we are not careful, it is very likely that the enemy will get useful information!

"It's the Yankees who are bombing again!" Unexpectedly, the middle-aged soldier in front of him broke through the "heavenly opportunity" with a word, and nodded at me with a smile on his face and said, "I still heard about it." You saved a lot of material! ”

"Are you?" I asked, a little strangely.

Sandeng Railway Station was just bombed yesterday, and he can know the news today when he is in China, so I think he is by no means idle.

"My name is Yu Dongpei! Director of Anton's Logistics Division! The noon warrior shook my hand again and said, "Thank you." Comrade Cui Wei. If it weren't for you, our logistics department wouldn't know how much more material would be lost! ”

Oh, it turned out to be from the logistics department, and I couldn't help but realize when I heard this, no wonder he would get the news so quickly.

"Come on, come on... Yu Dongpei continued: "The comrades are hungry, let's talk later, wait for the comrades to finish eating!" ”

Without saying a word, he pulled us into a nearby hall, which was lit by electric lights, and dozens of round tables were placed under the light. Ever since I entered the Korean War, I have rarely seen electric lights, and I usually light oil lamps in narrow and small tunnels, but when I walk into such a spacious and bright environment, I have a feeling of rushing towards modernization."

The fighters excitedly sat down at the table. Soon someone served us a plate of food. Exquisite dumplings, 'fat' and oily pig 'meat'. Green vegetables, and piping hot old wine"

The soldiers were already hungry when they were in the car, and when they saw these delicacies in front of them. Where will you be able to endure it, and immediately move the chopsticks in a large piece. The fastest to be swept away by the soldiers is the green vegetables, followed by steamed buns and steamed buns, which is understandable, the soldiers eat fried noodles on the battlefield, and it is rare to supplement vitamins in ordinary times, and it is common for the corners of the mouth to rot or suffer from night blindness. Now, of course, when I see these green vegetables, I won't be polite anymore.

As for why you choose steamed buns or steamed buns, I think only people who are often hungry can understand it. When people are hungry, what they think about is not the delicacies of the mountains and seas, nor the delicacies of wine and delicacies, but the buns, dumplings or rice that can fill the stomach the most. After thinking about it for a long time when we were hungry, these things gradually became our favorites. So now when I see them, I reach out and grab the river without thinking

But what surprised me a little was that the number of these buns, slow heads and the like was not very large, and one person grabbed two and then disappeared, and the rice was only one bowl per person. Although this is already a very rich meal for us, it seems a little cold for this Anton logistics department.

"Captain Cui!" When I was almost finished, Yu Dongpei walked up to me. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "There's something I want you to see!" Can you come with me? ”

"Hmm. Good! I slurred a vague answer with a bun in my mouth. Then he pulled a 'chicken' and 'leg' in his hand, and then stood up and followed behind Yu Dongpei with Xu Yongwei and Zhang Mingxue.

Seeing this, Yu Dongpei couldn't help but smile: "You must be hungry on the battlefield!" We didn't prepare a lot of food tonight, just netted to keep the soldiers fed. In order to worry that the soldiers would be hungry for a long time and eat fiercely. It's going to break! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, I understood the reason why there was not much food, and I couldn't help but nod and praise: "Director Yu is thoughtful, I didn't think of this problem!" ”

"Alas! Where is I thoughtful! Yu Dongpei shook his head and said with a wry smile as he walked in front: "Just like you guys fighting, I have experience!" ”

"Experienced?" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be 'confused'.

"yes!" Yu Dongpei sighed and said heavily: "You guys are okay You are not hungry enough to experience harm, you have never seen the first batch of troops to return to China for rotation!" The appearance of eating is scary to look at. We were stupid then. I prepared a lot of food. I'm afraid that I will treat the soldiers badly, who knows

"Alas!" Yu Dongpei sighed again, and then said: "Some soldiers were not sacrificed on the frontline battlefield, but at our dinner table. They all came to themselves."

"Are there really any who have been strung to death?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

"How could it not be!" Yu Dongpei replied: "More than a dozen died on the first day. We won't dare to put too much food on the table anymore! ”

I know the first troops to return to China for rotation, and I have been through all the wars with them. From one campaign to five battles. It's just that I didn't come back with them when they came home. So I know very well what it was like for them to fight in Korea.

The first batch can be said to be the most arduous and at the same time the most difficult batch of the war to enter Korea. At that time, the logistics supply line of the Volunteer Army had not yet been established, and there were no air defense units and no air force. As a result, the first batch of troops to enter the DPRK tasted all the cold and hunger of the DPRK, and countless soldiers froze and starved to death. I just found out today. There are still those who have died of sacrifice."

"You're going back home! There are many unimaginable difficulties! Yu Dongpei was leading me into a bungalow, pointing to a thick bundle of letters on the ground and saying to me, "Oh, that's what I want to show you!" ”

"Letter? It's all from our group? "I can't help but feel a little strange when I look at it.

"Hmm!" Yu Dongpei nodded and said heavily: "These letters are all sent by family members. It's all stacked here. Not sent to the front. First, because of the difficulty of supply, the materials we send are always ready for the danger of being bombed! The other is because our troops are too large. Sixty or seven hundred thousand troops were still on the move, and it was very difficult to get letters into the hands of each of the soldiers. Nor realistic. So the superiors decided to keep these letters here for the time being. When the fighters return home for rotation, I will send you the letter again. I heard the other day that your group was coming. I put these letters together in advance! ”

"Oh!" I answered casually, but the doubts in my heart still did not disappear. Aren't all these warriors already here? Wouldn't it be enough to just give the letter to the soldiers? What are you calling me to do as the head of the regiment? But I thought that this matter would never be so simple, so I quietly waited for Yu Dongpei to say the following.

"Hmm!" See me behave like this. Yu Dongpei looked at me unexpectedly, handed me a cigarette and said, "You are the first one who didn't ask me why you didn't send the letter directly!" ”

"I was about to ask!"

Yu Dongpei was stunned for a moment, and glanced at me, and the two of them laughed together.

"That's right!" Yu Dongpei lit a cigarette for me. Pointing to the bundle of letters on the ground, he said, "You have to be careful with these letters." It's good news if it's good news, but Commander Cui, you also know that most of us who are soldiers don't know a few words in our families, and we usually have to find someone to write a letter. So"

Yu Dongpei seemed to be a little unbearable in his heart, and after spitting out a puff of smoke, he continued: "So most of these letters are in urgent matters, or some bad news, Captain Cui, you understand!" ”

I didn't nod or shake my head, my eyes looked at the bundle of letters in front of me, and I only felt heavy in my heart.

Of course I understand the meaning of Yu Dongpei's words, if there is anything urgent, and the soldiers come back now, it must be delayed. If it's some bad news, what's the bad news? The family members also know that the soldiers went to the battlefield to fight, and the people of this era have a high ideological consciousness, and if it were not a major event, it would not be possible to write to them. For the fighters who are in a hurry to go home and see, I don't know if they can withstand such a blow.

"Give me a me. Room! It took me a long time before I could hold back such a sentence.

"Hmm!" Yu Dongpei seemed to have been prepared to reply: "That's it!" There was a pause. He patted me on the shoulder again and said, "These letters." It's better to send it to the fighters tomorrow morning. Let them sleep well tonight, and tomorrow morning they will be much better if they know something. I'm going to be in a hurry to get home. I'll see if I can arrange a car to give them a ride! ”

"Thank you!" I couldn't help but shake Yu Dongpei's heart heavily, and thanked him for doing this for the soldiers.

"This is what I should do!" Yu Dongpei hurriedly replied: "This is nothing. You shed blood and died on the battlefield, and it should be us who say thank you! My office is right next to me, so come to me if you need anything! ”

As he spoke, Yu Dongpei nodded at me. I walked out of the room very understandingly. Before leaving, I was very careful to close the 'door'.

At this point, I really need to be alone and think about what to do with these letters. But I couldn't think of a reason for it, and after a cigarette 'smoked', I reached out and picked up the bundle of letters and placed them on the table. The bundle of letters is not very heavy. Only a dozen pounds. But it's in my hands. But it was as if a mountain was pressing down on my chest.

After thinking about it, I took off my cotton coat and covered the letters on the table, and then shouted outside the 'door': "Zhang Mingxue!" ”

"Here!" Zhang Mingxue soon appeared in front of me.

"Go and call the commissar!"

"Yes!" Zhang Mingxue responded. Soon ran towards the synagogue not far away.

The reason why the letter is covered with a cotton coat. I don't want Zhang Mingxue to see the letter and spread this matter, just like Yu Dongpei said, whether it's bad news or good news, it's more appropriate to let the soldiers know tomorrow morning, let them sleep well tonight!
