Epilogue to Chapter 38

"The platoon commander is back!"

"Platoon Commander Cui is back!"

……

When I returned to the company, it was already dark, and my comrades-in-arms were all in good spirits after a night's rest. And I didn't have a good rest for a few days, tossed all night without saying a word, and walked back with the captives. At this time, both legs were sinking as if they had been filled with lead, and their eyelids were as if they were stuck with glue.

"Boy!" Huzi pulled me and almost pulled me to the head, and said with an unhappy face: "You kid is majestic!" You're going to fight the Yankees alone, what's going on? How's it going? ”

"Victory, what do you need to ask?" Zhao Yongxin looked me up and down and said: "I didn't see that Cui Platoon's nose, eyes, and ears were not missing, and his limbs were also sound, if he either won a big battle, he would be a deserter!" ”

"What are you talking about!" Zhao Yongxin said this, Liu Mingquan didn't agree, he unceremoniously pushed Zhao Yongxin and said, "Can our Cui platoon commander be a deserter?" Can the people of our second company be deserters? ”

"Gotta get it...... Isn't that what I'm talking about? Zhao Yongxin also felt that he had said the wrong thing, and laughed embarrassedly.

"Platoon Commander Cui!" Liu Mingquan didn't pay much attention to it, and leaned up and asked, "How did you fight?" Victory! ”

"Well, victory!" I nodded tiredly: "The Yankees have been beaten away, and the people who went out have captured more than a hundred American prisoners!" ”

"Wow...... Ho ......" The comrades-in-arms burst into cheers excitedly, as if the storyteller was talking about the wonderful points and let them cheer loudly.

"And what does the Yankee look like?" Huzi was stunned and asked, "I heard that the Yankees all have big noses, are they as big as me?" ”

"Platoon Commander Cui!" Liu Mingquan couldn't wait to ask: "More than a hundred prisoners have been captured, tell me, what's the whole thing?" ”

For a while, comrades-in-arms, you said one sentence to another, and I was pulled by them to stagger, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"I'll tell you!" The old squad leader pushed away the rifle that everyone took from me, and said unhappily: "Didn't you see how tired the platoon leader Cui was?" Is it okay to say less? Let Platoon Leader Choi rest and rest! ”

"Yes, yes...... Rest first! Only then did my comrades-in-arms come to their senses, spread out the quilt and help me lie down. Then he didn't ask me anymore and sat in a bunch of people and whispered to himself.

"This Yankee isn't any good!" Huzi said: "They all say that their planes, tanks, and artillery are powerful, and they don't let us run away with their tails between them." ”

"That's it!" Liu Mingquan continued: "In the past ten days that our team has been here, we have not gone anywhere. The enemy is only fleeing, we are only chasing, walking time is more than the time of fighting, and the enemy has not fought a decent battle! As I said, it won't be long before I can go home! ”

The old squad leader said approvingly: "According to this way of playing, it will be almost the same in ten days and half a month." ”

"Huh?" I was lying drowsy, but I couldn't help but sit up when I heard their discussion. Legend has it that the first batch of volunteer soldiers entered the Korean War, and the soldiers generally believed that as long as they used up a piece of toothpaste and a piece of soap, they could return to China victoriously, and it turned out that this was all true.

"What's wrong?" When the old squad leader saw me sitting up, he asked suspiciously, "Why don't you sleep?" Noisy with you? ”

"What's the noise?" Zhao Yongxin said angrily: "Then usually the bullets are flying above the head, and the shells are blowing up next to them, isn't it the same sleep?" Oh...... The feeling is that you can't sleep without bombing and gunshots, right? Why don't I let you go for a while? ”

Zhao Yongxin made such a joke, all the soldiers couldn't help laughing, and the old squad leader said angrily: "Do your best, you want to lure the enemy plane?" ”

"It's not." I also squeezed out a smile and said, "Comrades, this battle is not so fast to end, it will take three years!" ”

"Three years?"

All the warriors couldn't help but be stunned.

"Three years, who are you bluffing?" Huzi said in disbelief: "Just because of the virtue of the reactionaries, you have to fight for three years? ”

"That's it!" Zhao Yongxin nodded: "If others don't say it, let's just say that our platoon commander Cui, in just ten days, we have killed dozens of enemies and captured hundreds of prisoners, so how many reactionaries are there?" Platoon Commander Cui has been capturing prisoners for three years, and then he has not made up a division. At that time, let Cui Platoon Commander be the division commander of this division, the number, it will be called Cui Prisoner Division, what's the matter? ”

Zhao Yongxin's words made the soldiers laugh, and they were all immersed in the excitement of victory, and they didn't take what I said to heart at all.

I sighed secretly, knowing that nothing I said now would change the minds of my comrades-in-arms, and when an idea had been recognized and spread among the masses, it would be as unstoppable as a plague.

It's just that what they don't know is that the several big victories fought by the Volunteers since they entered the DPRK have bred in their hearts a very serious idea of underestimating the enemy, and when the time comes, they will not pay attention to either the South Korean army or the US army, and even have the idea of "from the north to the south, one push will be over." The theory of squeezing toothpaste.

This serious idea of underestimating the enemy caused the volunteer soldiers to suffer great losses in the subsequent battles, so that although they were replaced with more advanced equipment and relatively sufficient supplies in the later period, they still failed to achieve better results.

With a little regret, I lay back on the bed, closed my eyes, and my head was a mess of thoughts, can't these histories be changed? If it can't be changed, then why would God have put me in the past where it has already happened to me? If it can be changed, then the history in my memory is not wrong?

To this day, I still think it's like a dream, a dream where only I am awake, or only I am confused, maybe when I wake up, when I open my eyes, I can see my relatives, friends, and everything I am familiar with......

Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep, and in my dream I had returned to reality, except that I was no longer troubled by the low salary, no longer discouraged by unsatisfactory work, and no longer sighed at the lack of a house or car...... Because I have clearly realized that as long as I can eat enough and not go hungry and cold, and do not have to risk my life every day to run in the rain of bullets, that is the greatest happiness!

Volume 1, Volume 1, First Campaign, Volume 1

I would like to pay tribute to the 38th, 39th, 40th, 42nd, and 66th armies who participated in the first battle in this volume!

The first battle lasted 10 days, from 25 October to 5 November 1950, during which the Chinese People's Volunteers drove the northbound "United Nations Army" from the Yalu River to the south of the Cheongchon River, smashed MacArthur's plan to occupy all of Korea before "Thanksgiving," initially stabilized the war situation, gained initial experience in fighting the US and South Korean forces, strengthened confidence in victory, and created favorable conditions for subsequent operations.

In this battle, more than 15,000 enemies were annihilated, and our army suffered more than 10,000 casualties. The casualty ratio is 1:0.62.
