Chapter 66: Corps Commander

At first glance, when I said the name of Kim Jong-song, commander of the 15th Division, Battalion Commander Li and his adjutant reacted completely differently. Battalion Commander Li was taken aback at first, and then looked at me with a suspicious face, as if he wanted to weigh how many catties and taels I had, but unfortunately there was no official rank on the uniforms of the volunteers, so he couldn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time.

As soon as the adjutant heard me call Jin Zhongsong like this, and there seemed to be some disrespect in his tone, his face immediately sank, and he stepped forward and said, "Ah, if you still want to see our Master Jin, it's up to you."

But before he could finish his words, he was pulled back by Major Li.

I couldn't help but laugh secretly, this is also the reason why Major Li is a full position, and that adjutant is a deputy position! People in officialdom, especially in the heavily bureaucratic KPA units. Without the ability to observe words and colors, and to see and enable, there is no way to eat. And when the adjutant heard me say that in that tone, he didn't even know how to pick up the tiger's whiskers... If I were now a regimental commander of the People's Army, I am afraid that he would not even be able to keep his adjutant now.

"Comrade!" It was still the Major Li who was more sleek, he hesitated, then stepped forward and said with a smiling face: "Comrade, Master Jin has a lot of affairs, and we as subordinates dare not disturb him. If you want to see him, I don't know how to report to him."

Hearing this, I couldn't help nodding secretly, Major Li can be much more 'shrewd' than the adjutant, his words seem to be a bit incompatible, but in fact, he is tactfully asking my identity, and then see if my identity is worthy of meeting their division commander.

"You're new here!" I said casually, leaned my rifle against the wall, pulled a pack of cigarettes out of my pocket, and sat down on a ball of wraps. He 'smoked' a cigarette to himself. The reason why I say this is because during the summer and autumn counterattacks, our strong regiment blocked the frantic attack of the US army on the western front of the KPA with the strength of one regiment, and even routed the US army several times our size, and then defeated the attack of the puppet capital division in front of the KPA. The 15th Division was next to us at that time. Kim Jong-song's division headquarters is still in our position. So I think that the people of the 15th Division of the People's Army have at least heard my name anyway!

"We did just recently transfer from the Thirteenth Division!" Hearing this, Major Li's face became even more solemn, and he thought that I was not easy to match, so he immediately took out a lighter and helped me light a cigarette.

I don't know you haven't heard my name! "I'm still reluctant to tell them who I am, isn't the People's Army bureaucratic and serious? I also happened to take this opportunity to put on an official tone in front of them and have a good time.

"Comrade, you are Major Li and asked carefully, but seeing that I didn't answer him at all, I couldn't help but advance or retreat, and stood in front of me for a while.

At this time, a KPA came up, looked at me, and whispered in Major Li's ear: "Major, this Cui Wei, could this be the Cui Wei who helped us stop US imperialism during the summer and autumn counterattacks..."

"You, why didn't you say it earlier!" Hearing this, Major Li couldn't help but be stunned, and his face changed in an instant

"I, I haven't seen him either!" The KPA replied aggrievedly: "I have only heard his name"

But at this time, Major Li didn't care at all what the People's Army said, and hurriedly stepped forward, saluted in front of me, and said, "Li Mingxin, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 77th Regiment of the 15th Division of the People's Army. See Captain Cui! ”

When the adjutant saw Major Li's appearance, he also straightened his clothes and hat in a panic, and 'straightened' up in front of me and saluted: "An Zongcheng, deputy commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 77th Regiment of the 15th Division of the People's Army, see Commander Cui!" ”

"Take a break!" Seeing the previous two people hurrying around, I spat out the smoke ring in boredom, chuckled and said, "Major Li, it's good that your subordinates remember me, otherwise, you will arrest me as a puppet army!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Major Li hurriedly explained: "This is a complete misunderstanding, the information given to us by the superiors only says that there is a volunteer army unit to settle here, let us arrange a place, where would we think that this unit is your current regiment!" If we knew, we would have arranged a better place for you beforehand! ”

"Oh. What do you mean, is there a better place for us? ”

"This,... Wrong, wrong! Major Li hurriedly changed his words and said, "I mean, we can help you clean up this place beforehand!" ”

"What's next?" I didn't talk nonsense with him, and just asked, "How many days are we going to stay here?" ”

"Just one night!" Major Li hurriedly replied, "The train will not arrive until five o'clock tomorrow morning, and it will leave at six o'clock!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded. Then he told the soldiers the news, and when the soldiers heard that they would be able to take the train back home early in the morning, they couldn't help but churn again.

"Captain Cui!" After a while, Major Li came up to me again and said flatteringly: "I have already sent someone to inform Master Jin, and Master Jin said that he will come over immediately and ask Commander Cui to wait here for a while!" ”

"Hmm!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a big headache. I didn't really want Kim Jong Song to come to see me just now, I just wanted to move his name to scare these little minions, but I didn't expect them to take it seriously.

Then, to my surprise, the adjutant had a few low tables moved in, and then a table full of wine and 'meat'. As soon as several people's soldiers opened the wine jar, the warehouse was filled with the smell of wine. I only saw the warrior drooling with a slurp. Beside him, he was making a fool of himself.

"Cui Ranchang!" An Zongcheng saluted in front of me: "Master Jin's order, let us entertain you well, and at the same time, I apologize to you." I can't find anything better in the place, so please accept it with a smile! ”

"Thanks!"

At first, I was still thinking about whether I should accept these "gifts" from the People's Army, because I didn't know if it violated the discipline of the People's Army. But think about the soldiers who fought to the death on the battlefield. He hasn't touched wine 'meat' for such a long time, so what does he care about so much at this time!

So I was not polite and nodded to An Zongcheng. Immediately the order was given to the fighters: "Comrades! Come on! Have a good drink tonight, and drink it again tomorrow when you get home! ”

"Good!" As soon as they heard my order, the warriors rushed towards the food as if they were charging at the enemy, and then opened their bows left and right to launch an "attack" on the food! The aroma of wine overflowed, and the warehouse immediately became a 'chaos', and the sound of clinking bowls, cheering, and orders soon became one.

The warriors have had a good meal. When I was fighting on the front line, I pinned my head to the belt of my 'trousers' all day long, even if I couldn't sleep well, I usually ate hot white rice, and it was good to be able to eat hot white rice, where could I still be as down-to-earth as I am now, and it was both wine and meat.

But it seems that the Chinese are like this at the wine table. In modern times, Westerners often criticize us for not paying attention to etiquette in public. However, I believe that this is not a question of paying attention to etiquette, but of the cultural differences between China and the West.

Westerners used to talk about knights. Speaking demeanor. This culture extends to the present, that is, on the surface, they are polite and polite, and they eat at the table, but everyone knows that they are thinking about what to do with the 'woman' who eats with them opposite.

In ancient times, the Chinese talked about chivalry and boldness. This culture extends to the present day. That is, talking loudly at the wine table, drinking in a big bowl, and grabbing the glass to the end.

It's understandable that Westerners don't understand us, but what makes me very upset is that some Chinese also agree with Westerners criticizing us.

The so-called "following the customs" of the country, it is indeed not good for us Chinese to go to foreign countries to eat like this, but foreigners come to our China to eat and drink in their way, isn't it also a kind of small family spirit and a kind of sissy!

"Captain! drink

"Captain! Give, 'chicken' and 'legs'! ”

While I was thinking nonsense, the soldiers saw that I was not moving, and rushed to bring me food and drinks. In a few moments, a large plate of food was piled up in front of me. I swallowed my saliva, grabbed a 'chicken' and 'leg' and couldn't wait to stuff it into my mouth and bite it, that fragrant! I haven't eaten 'meat' in more than a year, and now I've almost forgotten what 'meat' tastes like.

Wrong! It seems that there are occasionally some 'meat' residues in the fried noodles, but those are not enough for us to stuff our teeth

Three times five divided by two to solve the 'chicken' and 'leg' in his hand, picked up the wine bowl and touched it with the soldier next to him. As soon as I raised my head, the whole bowl of wine went down.

The wine is a rice wine brewed by the North Korean people, with a sweet taste in the mellow aroma, and it has been scalded in advance, and it is warm in the stomach after the stomach, and then it quickly brings this heat to the whole body through the nerves and blood, and after a while, the whole body is hot, so that I can't help but moan 'groan'.

Look at this again. The warehouse, which was still disgusted, is not so annoying now. At least there is no wind and no rain here, and it is much more spacious than the tunnel, although there is a bit of a musty smell, but now it has long been washed away by the aroma of wine.

"Squeak!" As we ate and drank happily, there were several brake sounds outside the warehouse, followed by the salute of the sentry at the 'door'.

It should be that Jin Zhongsong came, and a few bowls of wine went down, so that I, who was overwhelmed by the wine, stood up a little staggeringly, and adjusted my military hat a little to meet him.

As I expected, I didn't walk a few steps before I saw a group of people walking in, including the familiar figure of Jin Zhongsong. But to my surprise, he wasn't in the middle of the group."

Having been in North Korea for so long, I also know that the KPA has a very strong sense of hierarchy, and not being in the middle means that Kim Jong-song is not the biggest "official" in this group, so I naturally set my sights on the person in the middle.

Looks like I've seen it somewhere!

Not! Be... Jin Anlei, Commander of the Corps! I remember that when the regiment withdrew from the battle on the Western Front, I once met him, and he also gave us some civilian workers, military doctors, and 'medicine' materials!

"Captain Cui! Long time no see! As soon as Jin Xuanlei saw me, he stretched out his hand and shook it with me as if he were an old friend. Then he hugged me warmly.

I could only see that Major Li and the adjutant who were accompanying him were dumbfounded, and they looked like they were sitting upright, as if they were afraid that I would say a few bad things about them in Jin Xuanlei.

"How? Captain Cui! My men have not done you any wrong. At this moment, Jin Xuanlei said another sentence like this, which immediately made Major Li and the adjutant tremble, and they all set their eyes on me, and their eyes were full of pleading.

"No, no!" I smiled and pointed to the wine and food next to me and said, "Your subordinates are very enthusiastic, these drinks and dishes are arranged by them, and I haven't thanked them yet!" ”

"Hmm! That's it! Jin Xuanlei snorted: "This is going back to China?" Why don't you tell us, I can also do my best to be a landlord and prepare a good meal for you to see you off! "I just found out, too!" I explained, "For the sake of secrecy, we also found out that it was tomorrow morning's train at 6 o'clock!" ”

"Oh! So fast! Jin Xuanlei had some surprise in his eyes, turned around and asked Jin Zhongsong beside him: "When is the next train?" Let's see if we can arrange for Captain Cui to go back on the next train, so that we can have time to get together! ”

"Lieutenant General Jin" couldn't help but prevaricate when he heard this: "This is an order from the superiors, it's not good to change it 'privately'!" What's more, I still have a regiment of fighters with me! ”

"You can rest assured of this!" Jin Xuanlei said indifferently: "I'll handle the matter of your superiors, and your regiment can go back first!" Anyway, it's going back to China, not going to war! ”

"This" "I couldn't help but feel anxious when I heard this, I knew that Jin Xuanlei had this ability. How can I say that he is also a corps commander of the People's Army, and he is equivalent to a corps commander in the Volunteer Army, and it will not be too easy for him to tell his superiors about this situation and leave me for the time being. But I know that this stay is by no means so simple as temporary. The Jin Xuanlei in front of him is clearly a bit of a strong man.

So I secretly glanced at Kim Jongsong.

"Hmm!" Jin Zhongsong coughed lightly and said, "Lieutenant General Kim, the next train to China will be half a month later." Commander Cui has been fighting against US imperialism in our country for more than a year, and he also needs to rest and go back to see his relatives! ”

"Oh! Yes, yes" Jin Xuanlei laughed and said: "Look at me, I forgot about these in a hurry, then I won't be strong!" ”

"But Captain Cui!" Just when I was relieved, I didn't expect Jin Xuanlei to say again: "We North Korean people need talents like you very much, and the battlefield also needs soldiers like you, so I hope you can come back as soon as possible, I don't know if you will be embarrassed."

Depend on! I cursed in my heart: I only knew what it was like to be pestered by a 'woman' before, but now I finally know what it's like to be pestered by a man!
