Chapter 7 Return to the team

"Hello comrade," the fighters of the 38th Army stepped forward to greet them.

"Hello" I nodded, but they didn't seem to let our guard down. This is not? A dozen warriors surrounded us, as if they were afraid that we would escape.

"Which one is Comrade Cui Wei" is led by a 'lean' thin soldier with a dark face, and his expression is serious when he speaks, and he knows at a glance that he is a veteran who has killed countless people on the battlefield.

Although he did not carry a gun like the other soldiers, his right hand was always pressed against the box cannon at his waist, and it seemed that he would pull it out and point it at us at any moment.

"Comrade" looked at the attitude of the soldiers of the 38th Army, Lin Xiaoxu was a little unhappy, he stood up and said: "It's all my own people, there's no need to do this, we were ambushed by the puppet army spies, and we almost died." Besides......"

Lin Xiaoxu pointed at me and said, "This is Chief of Staff Cui who commanded our army to defeat several ace troops of the enemy in Shangganling. You, what kind of attitude do you have? ”

"I just listened to your introduction...... "The 'lean' and thin veteran was unmoved, and continued to stare at us with vigilant eyes and said: "Just now you said that you were the commander of the 538th Regiment of the 180th Division, why did you say that you were the chief of staff of Cui again?" ”

"Oh yes," I stood up and explained, "I was originally the commander of the 538th Regiment of the 180th Division, and later because of the needs of the front, I was temporarily transferred to the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division as the chief of staff. I don't want to be ambushed by puppet agents on the road...... This is not? That's it."

I gestured helplessly to the scattered corpses around me.

Listening to my explanation, the veteran's eyes softened a little, but he still said to us: "I'm sorry comrade, the puppet army spies are very active now, we have to be careful, you better go with me and wait for your identity to be confirmed before going on the road."

"You ......" Lin Xiaoxu just wanted to rush up, but I stopped him.

"I'll go with you," I smiled at the 'lean' soldier, "our car has been blown up, and another comrade is injured and needs medical attention, you just won't let us go, we will follow."

"Hmm" The 'lean' thin warrior nodded, a little less wary, but he still didn't have a good face for me.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh that the spy of this puppet army is really a disaster, not only will it cause us such and such losses, but also make it a lot of trouble for the volunteer army to identify it.

When I was thinking about it, Wang Xinhe, who was lying on the ground, laughed hehe: "Chief of Staff Cui, you don't call it a rivalry and don't meet."

"Enemies?" Listening to me, I couldn't help but be stunned, and I couldn't figure out which 'door' I would be with the soldiers of the 38th Army.

"Isn't that right?" Wang Xinhe said with a smile: "People suffered a loss in front of the puppet army, not only did they not win the battle, but they also let the puppet army beat a white horse division." But within a few days, this White Horse Division let you fight in Shangganling and almost wiped out the whole army, do you think this person can hold on to his face? Can you still get a good deal by reporting the name Cui Wei? “

When Wang Xinhe said this, the 'lean' and thin veteran's dark face turned red, and his whole face looked like Guan Gong in this moonlight, and the expressions of the other soldiers were also a little unnatural.

Wang Xinhe was reasonable, and continued to sarcastically say: "Besides, the 38th Army is also an ace army, and they don't know that they let the puppet army set up an ambush in their defense area, and they almost let the puppet army arrest our famous chief of staff, but it turned out that the chief of staff showed his might and made the puppet army suffer, do you say that people can be convinced?"

"What are you talking about?"

I know that what Wang Xinhe said is not far from ten, no matter what kind of unit this volunteer army is, the most important thing is honor. What's more, the 38th Army is still known as the ace unit of the Long Live Army, but I indirectly made the 38th Army lose face, so it's strange that they will give me a good face.

However, I actually know in my heart that these cannot be compared like this, Shangganling is our army with a geographical advantage waiting for the enemy to attack, and Baima Mountain is the enemy with a geographical advantage waiting for the 38th Army to attack. Although it is true that the 38th Army did not fight very well in Baima Mountain, I believe that if they defended Shangganling, they would have fought as well as us, or even better than us.

So he hurriedly interrupted Wang Xinhe's words: "The comrades of the 38th Army are on official business, how can they be as small as you." Besides, we are all ** comrades, both glory and humiliation, where will we share each other, don't talk nonsense"

Listening to my words, the veteran's face softened slightly. Wang Xinhe also closed his mouth in amusement, but his mouth couldn't help but let out his signature "hey, hey, hey......" laugh, the laughter was as ugly as it sounded, and the soldiers of the 30th Army were all embarrassed, but no one refuted it.

The troops of the Volunteer Army are like this, and it is an obvious fact that they do not fight well, and they will never excuse themselves with this or that. Even if others criticize and ridicule, they are all hard to stand up and endure. If you are not convinced, you will hold your breath and wait for the next time you fight, and you will snatch back the face from the enemy.

This is what is often said in the volunteer army to fight a "turnaround battle", that is, this face is not said in words, but by the soldiers with their lives, blood, and meritorious deeds. This seems to have become a tradition in the volunteer army, and the superiors also believe that it helps to improve the morale of the soldiers, so that the soldiers can be more united and more powerful to fight the enemy, so they also support this tradition. I think that at the beginning, our 180th division was not like this.

Therefore, although the soldiers of the 38th Army were angry in their hearts, they didn't say anything, swallowed a breath into their stomachs, and gritted their teeth so loudly that they "creaked......

"Go" was stunned for a long time, and the soldier led by him waved his hand, and Tie Qing spit out the word with a blue face.

"Yes" The soldiers answered, and they picked up the weapons, the stretchers, and even the bodies of the puppet army agents.

It's just that...... They were robbed by Wang Xinhe for a while, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in their stomachs, and they would inevitably make some big moves when they cleaned up the battlefield. Some ripped off the enemy's rifles with force, some made up for the groaning puppet army, and the most absolute thing was the two soldiers who carried Wang Xinhe, running up and jumping on purpose......

Wang Xinhe is also a tough guy, he blew his beard and stared at him in pain on the stretcher, but he just didn't say anything, until Lin Xiaoxu and I politely took the stretcher, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Be forgiving and forgiving," I whispered to Wang Xinhe.

"Hehe...... Wang Xinhe laughed again: "I was born with this stinky mouth, I will offend people everywhere...... Now at least like the chief of staff, there should be a regiment commander."

"Alas" I couldn't help sighing, I really can't do anything about this Wang Xinhe. However, it seems that he will no longer be able to offend people in the army in the future......

After running for a while, I felt a little strange in my heart.

Are they just running away with corpses on their backs? No one can stand running like this, unless their station is very close to us. But that's not right, if it was close, they should have arrived a long time ago.

I was in doubt, when the team made two turns in the road, and several military vehicles appeared in front of us. At this time, it dawned on me that they were coming by car, but in order to avoid the goal of *** too early, they got out of the car and walked towards us. From this point of view, it can be seen that they have a lot of combat experience.

The soldiers threw the corpses of the puppet soldiers into the back compartment of the last car, and we were "escorted" into another car. The fighters moved quickly and tacitly, and they were busy in a short time. Then, with a "rumbling ......", the car started and slowly drove into the darkness.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very strange, Wang Xinhe was lying in the middle of the carriage, Lin Xiaoxu and I sat on the left and right to take care of it, and the rest were all soldiers of the 38th Army.

I didn't think it was anything in my heart, but the soldiers of the 38th Army didn't seem to dare to look me in the eye. I could feel that they were always looking at me, but of course when they turned to them, they hurriedly looked away like children who had done something wrong. The warrior at the head simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep......

I seem to be able to understand their psychology at this time, they want to hear me about Shangganling, or they want to take a serious look at me as a hero, but they can't get over it in terms of face

The warriors of this era are so cute, and what they think in their hearts is immediately expressed in action.

After a long silence, the soldier at the head opened his eyes, sighed, and handed me a cigarette: "Cui ...... Commander Cui, I am Xu Chengfeng, the commander of the 339th Company of the 7th Regiment"

I couldn't help but smile, took the cigarette and said, "I'm the puppet army spy Syngman Rhee......"

The soldiers were stunned when they heard what I said, and then they burst into laughter, and the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.

"This joke can't be 'messed up'," Xu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that we will really kill you as a spy?" ”

I raised the cigarette in my hand: "If you really treat me as a spy, you won't give me this"

Then I asked suspiciously, "Why do you suddenly believe that we are not spies?" ”

"I'm not a fool" Xu Chengfeng smiled bitterly, stared at Wang Xinhe and said: "If you are spies, where do you dare to scold us like this comrade?"

"Hey, hey......" Wang Xinhe laughed again: "It's better for me to scold that."

"Your criticism is right" Xu Chengfeng nodded: "Our 38th Army is not a bad seed, and we will not deny it if we don't fight well." Someday, we will get this account back from the enemy."

"That is, I must get it back"

"We want to win back the face of our 38th Army"

……

Hearing Xu Chengfeng say this, the soldiers also waved their fists and swore, and I couldn't stop nodding my head.

"It's good, this is the style of a **soldier," I patted Xu Chengfeng on the shoulder.

"Chief of Staff, I want to thank you, we want to thank you," Xu Chengfeng stretched out his hand and shook my hand.

"Thank me? Thank me for what? I asked, confused.

"White Horse Mountain ......" paused, and Xu Chengfeng said heavily: "We sacrificed a lot of comrades in White Horse Mountain, and you spoke out for us and avenged our comrades......

I nodded, trying to find something to comfort him, but I didn't know what to say

At this moment, the car squeaked, stopped, and the fighters jumped out of the compartment one by one.

"Commander Cui, I'll send you here" Xu Chengfeng shook my hand again, pointed at Lin Xiaoxu and Wang Xinhe and said: "These two comrades will stay here to recuperate, and I will arrange a car to send you back to the army, I hope we will meet again."

"Goodbye" because I was anxious to return to the army, so I no longer refused.

"Cui, Captain Cui" Lin Xiaoxu squeezed up when he heard this, scratched his head and said hesitantly: "I'll discuss something with you......"

"Say it," I nodded.

"Look...... Can you transfer me to your troops" Lin Xiaoxu blushed and said: "I want to be your soldier, I want to go to the front line to fight, my father and mother said......"

"Comrade Lin Xiaoxu" I patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's better than anything to go back alive to take care of your father and your mother."

Ignoring the eyes of the soldiers, he turned around and climbed into the car.

"Goodbye, goodbye" The warriors kept waving goodbye to me from behind the car, and I waved at them until their figures gradually disappeared into the darkness.

I often see this scene on TV and movies in modern times, and at that time I would only think that this scene was very earthy and naïve. Now I know what kind of comradeship-in-arms is contained in this. Although Xu Chengfeng and I can say that they have known each other for less than an hour, they hit it off at first sight, and then there was a reluctant melancholy when parting......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Pyongyang is not far from Munden-ri, in fact Pyongyang is not far from anywhere on the front line of North Korea. Pyongyang is like a red center in North Korea, and no matter where it is, if you want to go a little farther, most of them have to go back to Pyongyang first.

In fact, the terrain of Pyongyang is not dangerous, and even it is connected to the Pyongkang Plain, and the mechanized units of the US army can easily follow the Pyongkang Plain and "force" Pyongyang directly under the city. But even so, it has become the capital of North Korea because it is the "communication" center of the whole of Korea. Once it is lost, it can almost be said to control most of North Korea.

Seoyang-ri is near Pyongyang, which gave me less time to turn back to Pyongyang, so I didn't 'take' too long to reach my destination, and I arrived at Munden-ri before dawn the next day.

Wendenli, this is another place that I remember.

I still remember that when I was still in the 40th Army, it was here that the enemy used the plains of Wendenli to launch a tank splitting battle, and it was here that we first learned to use anti-tank grenades, and then we learned and used them now, using our flesh and blood to resist the steel monsters of the American army.

I really don't know if it's better to describe this memory as a beautiful memory or call it a nightmare. Call it beautiful, it is because we have won, we have defeated the most advanced equipment of the US military with our own courage and body with our own weapons that can no longer be rudimentary. Call it a nightmare because here, we have left too many comrades-in-arms......

At this time, the Wendenli I saw was different from before, and it was also different from what I looked like.

Before I came, I knew that Wendenli was the front line, the troops of the puppet 3rd Division stationed in front of our army. So I just thought that Wendenli should be a scorched earth like Shangganling, full of gunfire and cannons.

But I didn't expect it to be very quiet here, although there were occasionally one or two gunshots, but this was almost negligible for me when I came back from Shangganling. Sometimes I wonder if someone is practicing marksmanship, or if it's hunting......

Jumping out of the car, waving goodbye to the driver, I tightened the rifle on my back and walked towards the direction told by Commander Pang.

As I walked, I thought to myself, how could the battlefield here be so quiet, so quiet that I could hardly believe that this was the front line. This is not? There are not many craters, and bushes can be seen everywhere, which can show that the fighting here is not 'fierce'.

Thinking about it, I quickly understood. In the past few months, there has actually been only one big battle on the entire front. The enemy and us have almost put all their 'fine' forces and troops into Shangganling, and the soldiers in other places, whether they are joint soldiers or soldiers of the joint forces of China and North Korea, almost all of them have stopped fighting and stared at the small places of several square kilometers in Shangganling. So it's not surprising that we're in the situation now.

But this state of affairs did not last long, because I knew that a bigger battle, the summer counterattack, was about to begin in the near future

"Who?" I was thinking about it when suddenly I heard a shout in front of me, and that's when I came to my senses.

"It's me," I replied with some 'excitement': "I'm Cui Wei"

Cui ...... Captain Cui? The sentry hiding in the shadows was visibly stunned at the name, and soon two disguised warriors came out of the grass and came to me.

"It's really Captain Cui......" The two of them saw that it was really me, and couldn't help shouting excitedly to the rear: "Comrades, Commander Cui is back, Commander Cui is back......"

"Captain Choi is back"

"Captain Cui is back......"

……

There were more and more voices, and in a short time under the vague morning light, one by one, the soldiers excitedly came out of the pit and went straight in my direction.

The first person ran the fastest, and the figure was somewhat familiar, and it seemed to be a 'woman'. As she got closer, I finally recognized who she was.

couldn't help but open her mouth wide in amazement: It's Lin Xue, why did she come?
