Chapter 54: Exhaustion

When I returned to Hanshi with the soldiers of the Cold Gun Unit in the car arranged for us by the commanders of the regiments. The sky has brightened. As soon as I jumped out of the car, I took the soldiers to report to Commander Pang.

When he came to the division headquarters, he shouted a report outside the tunnel and got a negative, and after Xu, he took Wang Yuehan, Yang Zhenshan and Hu Zudi and walked in

At this time, Master Pang was discussing something with a dark-faced cadre on the map, and when he saw me walk in, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at the soldiers behind me, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why did you come back?" Aren't you still on a mission? They are "Master Pang, these two are the captains and two squad leaders of the Cold Spear Unit of the Sword Division!" I introduced to Master Pang: "This is the captain Wang Yuehan, this is the first squad leader Hu Zudi, and this is the second squad leader Yang Zhenshan."

"*** good". The soldiers invariably saluted Master Pang with her.

"Hmm! It turned out to be a comrade of the knife master". Hearing this, Master Pang couldn't help but stand up and shake their hands, and said, "Welcome! Comrade Wang Yuehan, Comrade Hu Zudi, and Comrade Yang Zhenshan, I have long heard of the majesty of your cold-gun troops. I've wanted to see you with my own eyes."

Hu Zudi and Yang Zhenshan are not good at words, and when Master Pang said this, they only smirked and 'touched' their heads and didn't know how to answer.

Wang Yuehan is okay, he was originally an acquaintance, and he has seen a lot of such occasions in ordinary times, so what is wrong at this time. 'Straightened' and said to Master Pang: "Master Pang has won the award, how can our little credit be compared with your nephew!" Speaking of the nephew regiment, no one knows about the current volunteer army."

"It's almost the same, everyone is *** comrade, so you don't need to divide each other!" Hearing this, Senior Commander Pang couldn't help but laugh proudly, and it could be seen that Senior Commander Pang was indeed very satisfied with the results achieved by his nephew's group, and Wang Yuehan's sycophant was a positive shot.

"That's right! How did you guys get back? He laughed for a while. Master Pang turned his gaze to me, with a hint of inquiry and a hint of reproach in his eyes: "Don't you still have a task?" Why did you come back so soon? Do you know that coming back like this is likely to attract the attention of the 'traitor'

"Master Pang!" I smiled and replied, "We're almost done with our mission, didn't we come back to report to you?"

"What? Almost done?. Hearing this, Master Pang couldn't help but be stunned. With a look of disbelief, he said, "What is almost done?" It's only been a few days, isn't it? You don't think you've completed your mission just by defeating a bunch of puppet agents! There are many more puppet agents."

"Division commander, we have defeated more than 200 puppet army agents, and we have also eliminated their base!" I replied.

"What's more than two hundred, agent, what?" What do you say? More than two hundred? After Master Pang reacted, he was so surprised that he could stuff a big apple in his mouth, and he was stunned for a moment before he continued: "Cui Wei, you mean" The puppet army sent more than two hundred puppet army agents to attack the *** warehouse. And then you served a pot? ”

Because the cold gun unit was actually commanded by Commander Zhu, and the puppet army base was served last night, so Commander Pang didn't know it at all, and I couldn't help but be a little 'confused' when I listened to my report.

"Not really!" I smiled and told Master Pang about the battle that followed the puppet army agents to the base and sent ambush soldiers to destroy the puppet army agents' nests.

"Good boy! I didn't expect it to be so easy for you to solve it in a few clicks! "After listening to my oblique speech. Master Pang couldn't help laughing.

"This is called a strong general, and there are no weak soldiers under him." The volunteer army cadres who had been next to Commander Pang said at this time: "I think that back then, your old Pang also led a force to kill the Kuomintang without any power to fight back. How far will your soldiers be now? ”

I saw that this volunteer cadre seemed to be very familiar with Commander Pang, but I didn't know him. I couldn't help but cast a suspicious 'confused' look at Master Pang.

"Oh! This is Cai Wenyuan, the political commissar of the Han Division," and Xiao Pang, the division commander, introduced: "When you came some time ago, Political Commissar Cai happened to go to a meeting, so I didn't see it."

"This is what the soldiers often call Commander Cui." Cai Wenyuan stretched out his calloused hand and shook it with me, and said, "Commander Cui, when I came to this unit, I found it very strange to find that our whole division was talking about one person in our spare time, regardless of official position, and that person was you!" At that time, I was thinking, what kind of person is this Captain Cui, does he have three heads and six arms, or does he have an extra eye? Now that I look at it, it's no different from us! How can you make the Yankees afraid of being like this, and making the soldiers admire like this?"

There was a coax, and everyone in the tunnel was amused by Commissar Cai's words, and even Senior Commander Pang was no exception.

"This battle was fought beautifully!" After laughing for a while, Master Pang patted me on the shoulder and said: "These days, we have been harassed by the puppet army's special forces, especially the soldiers of the logistics unit have lost a lot of people and characteristics, which made us have to send troops to escort cars, trains and other transport characteristics later. It's a lot of burden and pressure on us, and now it's good! You served them in a pot, and finally gave us a bad breath! ”

"yes". Political Commissar Cai served a cup of tea to a few of us, and said excitedly: "During this time, the superiors also had a headache about this matter, and originally wanted to start with the puppet army 'traitors' lurking within us. But considering that the Great War was in... Doing it will affect the morale of the army, so I have to temporarily put it on the side and didn't want to lead Jiazhou, but let Commander Cui get rid of the nest in one breath, no matter how powerful those internal 'traitors' are, they can't use their methods! ”

"That's right!" As if remembering something, Master Pang asked with a hint of disbelief: "You say that those agents are wearing body armor, is there really such a thing?" ”

"Of course it's true!" Wang Yuehan answered and said, "Let's bring a few more!" ”

Saying that, Wang Yuehan took out two pieces from the backpack behind him, and handed one to Master Pang and Political Commissar Cai.

I can't help but admire Wang Yuehan a little, saying that when he was in the sword master, I knew that he was a cautious and careful staff officer with strong handling ability, but I didn't expect him to be so careful, and I thought of bringing a few loot with me before I came to report.

"That's it?" Master Pang grabbed the body armor in his hand and shook it, and asked with a smile: "Yankee, this thing can really be bulletproof?" ”

"How can it!" Yang Zhenshan replied disdainfully: "If they can really be bulletproof, then they can still be killed by us without leaving a piece of armor?" These things must be used by the Yankees and those puppet armies to strengthen their courage! ”

With a bang, the warriors laughed again. But I was the only one who didn't laugh, because I knew that this body armor was not invented by the Yankees, and that in the near future, it would play an unexpected role in many areas of the battlefield. But these don't make much sense now. Even modern body armor is difficult to popularize in ordinary armies, not to mention that our country does not have the financial resources to equip every soldier with body armor, and even if it is equipped, it will affect the charge of the troops because of its weight and size. On the battlefield of this era, especially if our army has to fight with the superiority of the US military's powerful aircraft and artillery fire, the casualties of being equipped with body armor may be greater than that of not being equipped.

So I changed the subject and said, "Division commander, political commissar." Although we eliminated the base of the puppet agents this time, unfortunately we did not catch them all, and a small number of leaders escaped. ”

"It's really scary. Issue! Political Commissar Cai nodded, lit a cigarette for himself, spit out a puff of smoke and said: "That's why we must always be vigilant and not be proud of our existing achievements." It is time to redouble efforts to nip the imperialist reactionaries in the bud in one fell swoop, lest they relapse again. Irreparable losses to our troops! ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. Originally, I just wanted to remind Master Pang of what to do, wake up. Let him know that the puppet army agents have not been uprooted by us, and let him be more careful. But I didn't expect Political Commissar Cai to say such a big truth, but don't say it, this meaning is really not much different from what I thought.

It's just that "I always feel that such a big truth should be said by some readers." And Political Commissar Cai knew what was going on at a glance, and it really surprised me that the people who had been working and doing farm work for many years said these words from his mouth.

"Division commander, political commissar, this is the walkie-talkie that the soldiers handed over from the puppet army agents!" I took out two more from Wang Yuehan's backpack and handed them to Master Pang and Political Commissar Cai.

Don't think about it, Wang Yuehan remembered to bring the body armor that was taken off the dead man, so he naturally had no reason not to bring this walkie-talkie.

"Walkie-talkie?" Hearing this, Senior Commander Pang and Political Commissar Cai couldn't help but be stunned, obviously they hadn't heard of this thing either.

"It's like a phone call!" I explained.

"So, what about the phone line?" Political Commissar Cai asked suspiciously with a walkie-talkie.

"Eat, eat" Hu Zudi and Yang Zhenshan couldn't help laughing.

"Commissar!" Yang Zhenshanguchi was fast, and said: "This is a new thing invented by the Yankees, and it doesn't use a telephone line!" ”

"Huh? Can you talk without a phone line? And it's so small? Listening to Master Pang and Political Commissar Cai, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Yes!" I helped them turn on the switch: "These are earbuds." Put it in your ears. This is the microphone, and it is clipped to the collar. Let's talk about it."

"Hey, hey!"

"Hey, I can hear you!"

Master Pang and Political Commissar Cai tried it and found that it really worked. I couldn't help but look at the walkie-talkie in my hand and was amazed. Look at them in amazement as if Columbus had discovered the New World.

"Is this worth it?" It didn't take a while. Master Pang's face changed as if he had thought of something, and he looked at me in surprise: "The Yankees have this thing. Then their commanders and commanders can't directly command every soldier! And every soldier can report to his superiors at any time, right? The synergy of the whole army"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but secretly praise, Master Pang is worthy of being born in war, and the first thing that comes to mind is the role of this thing on the battlefield. But his current worries are obviously unnecessary.

"Master Pang rest assured!" I explained: "I tried it with the fighters. The thing has a clear conversation within a hundred meters. A hundred meters away, it starts to blur, and one hundred and fifty meters away, you can't hear it at all! ”

"Huh" Hearing this, Master Pang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Shaking his head and laughing: "It turns out that this thing is short-distance, and it really scared me." However, it is not great to be able to talk within a hundred meters, at least the enemy's company commander and platoon commander can easily command his subordinates! But let's. A battalion of troops can't even call back when they are released to scream! ”

"Master Pang is right!" I followed the words of Kang Er Er and Er and said! There are sixty walkie-talkies we have seized.... : I want to use this batch of walkie-talkies to equip the cold-gun troops. So that we can coordinate with the cold-gun troops, I don't know,

"No problem!" Before I could speak, Master Pang agreed: "You originally paid these things!" And it is true that the cold-gun units need and are more suitable for using these equipment than other troops. You can engrave these things, look at them! But you have to promise me. Make the equipment do what it does. Fight a few more American devils! ”

"Yes!" I hurriedly 'straightened' up, saluted Master Pang, and agreed.

Just kidding, if you don't agree to this, you're still a fool, what does it mean to fight a few more American devils? One more is more, and two is too small, not to mention that there is no comparable 'sex' at all!

"But Commander Cui" When Yang Zhenshan and the others were excited, Master Pang glanced at us a few catties and said, "I have something to tell you, according to the orders of our superiors, our tactical counterattack has entered a state of combat readiness. Originally, we also planned to use our own cold gun troops to transfer the cold gun troops of the knife division back, but now that you have completed the task, it is time for them to go back! ”

"Division commander. They haven't been here for a few days," I couldn't help but be a little stunned when I heard this.

"We also have to take into account the difficulties of others, don't we?" Division Commander Pang interrupted my second sentence, "The cold gun unit is the 'elite' of the knife division and the backbone of the knife division, although Division Commander Wang didn't say anything. But would this battle be fought without them? You ask Comrade Yang Zhenshan and Comrade Hu Zudi. As soon as the battle broke out on the front line, could they settle down if they didn't return to their own troops? ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but turn my gaze to the soldiers behind me.

Wang Yuehan nodded at me wordlessly. Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Head Cui, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, it seems that it is time to separate again!" ”

I nodded and shook Wang Yuehan's hand tightly. Then Yang Zhenshan and Hu Zudi...

That's when I realized that in fact, I had always wanted them to be my soldiers, and I had always wanted to charge them into battle with me, not because of anything else, but because we had a tacit understanding and trust with each other on the battlefield. This kind of tacit understanding and trust, almost instantly, can be described as "the heart has a soul". But alas. I also know that they have their own troops, and they are still the 'elite' of that unit, and the knife master needs to play them even more.

So I could only helplessly 'hand' over to Wang Yuehan and said: "Bring a walkie-talkie to each of the soldiers, and you will use it when you go to the battlefield!" Take care of the fighters! ”

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan finally saluted me. I saluted Master Pang and Political Commissar Cai again. Salute. Turning around, he walked out of the tunnel. Separation, all of a sudden, just like that.

Last time, they sent me, and this time I sent them.

But I didn't even go out of the tunnel to say goodbye to the warriors, because I was afraid that I would not be able to hold back my tears in front of them.

The roar of cars rang out. I know the warriors are about to go. There was an urge to get out of the pit and say goodbye to the soldiers, but in the end I resisted it.

At this time, the shouts of the soldiers suddenly sounded outside the tunnel:

"Goodbye! Captain Cui! ”

"Commander Cui, let's be your soldier next time!"

I couldn't control my feet any longer, lifted the black cloth at the mouth of the tunnel, ran all the way out, took off my hat and waved at the warriors: "Goodbye! Fight a few more American devils! ”

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

The fighters also took off their hats. Waving at me in the back compartment?

I watched in amazement as the car roared all the way farther and farther. Until I turned a corner at the end of the road, I bend, and then I couldn't see anything.

I sighed, helpless and strange in my heart.

Unfortunately, fate always likes to joke with me. When I thought I might never see them again, I suddenly put them in front of me. But within a few days, they were suddenly arranged to leave.

Oddly enough. In modern times, I always thought that I would not have such a deep affection for anyone. At least not with men, but now I realize I'm wrong.

When you are separated from a man, you will be reluctant and sad. It sounds like a strange thing to do. And now it's happening."

In modern times, I have always thought that the phrase "wives are like clothes, brothers are like siblings" is just an empty phrase shouted in the underworld, an empty phrase that no one can do.

But now, I think it's right. At least, right on the battlefield. Because on the battlefield, those who can help you, those who can save your life, and those who can live and die with you. There are only comrades-in-arms. It's just brothers!

"Let's go back!" I don't know when. Senior Commander Pang was already standing beside me, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Go back and eat something and have a good rest, and the whole division will have a meeting at nine o'clock in the evening!" ”

"Yes!" I saluted Master Pang, and then dragged my tired body in the direction of the regiment headquarters.

This exhaustion does not come from my body, but from my heart. Sometimes I really want to find a place where no one is around and rest for a few days, away from the war, away from death, away from all this."
