Chapter III

"Platoon commander!" Thinking of this, I asked anxiously, "This...... In front of us is the seventh height? ”

"yes!" Scar looked at me in disbelief and said, "Look at your battle, your life was almost lost, I don't know what kind of high ground this is!" ”

Laughter erupted in the surroundings.

"No, it's not...... The ...... "I couldn't help but be stunned, what should I say?" Said the old man told me? Say I'm from a plane in a few decades? I'm afraid that these people will not only not believe me, but will think that I am funny.

Scar glanced at me and said angrily: "If you have a fart, don't you see that everyone is busy fighting?" ”

I was in a hurry and said, "Platoon commander! This battle can't be fought! ”

"What? Why can't you fight? Scar was already angry with me, but at this time he was even more angry, he couldn't care about being polite to me anymore, and pointed at me and scolded: "You really fucking lost the face of our Fujianese, are you a soldier like this?" I haven't fought a few battles, so I'm afraid of this......"

"Platoon commander, I'...... I didn't mean that! "Now I really feel wronged.

"What do you mean if you don't?" Ignoring my explanation, Scar said to me fiercely, "Boy, you're afraid of death, aren't you?" You...... Get out of the way! ”

As he spoke, he spat on the ground with great disdain, and the soldiers around me didn't give me a good look, as if I had done something rebellious.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, when had I been looked down on like this since I was a child, so I puffed up my chest and said: "Platoon commander, I said that I can't fight, it's really not greedy for life and afraid of death...... The severed head is just a scar the size of a bowl, what is there to be afraid of, how can I Yang Xuefeng say that I am also a man who stands up to the sky, isn't it? ”

"Tell me about it...... Why can't you fight? ”

"This ......," I hesitated, and then replied, "I am strange, I went to the battlefield relatively late, when I passed by our artillery position...... It seems that they said that they have just knocked down the No. 7 Heights, and why is there another No. 7 Heights now. ”

Scar's face couldn't help but change: "You heard me right? ”

"Of course you heard me right!" I patted my chest and said: "It's my fellow countryman who said this, and I chatted a few more words when I touched it, and he also said that No. 1 Heights used to be an old street!" How can you ...... now? Platoon commander, if you mistake Heights 1 for Heights 7 and Heights 7 for some other heights, then this artillery is ready to ......."

Scar jumped up, and as soon as he pulled me up, he ran away: "Go, go see the company commander!" ”

ran all the way to the company commander, and Scar stepped forward and reported: "Report to the company commander, the situation is urgent." Comrade Yang Xuefeng had just come from the artillery position, and he said...... The superiors seem to have misnumbered the heights! ”

"Second Platoon Leader!" The company commander who was tying his leggings replied unhurriedly: "If we are soldiers, we just have to listen to orders to fight." How could a superior make such a mistake? Let's worry less about this! ”

Scar looked at me, and I gritted my teeth and nodded pretending to be confident.

Actually, I'm not unsure, I'm just thinking about it...... If this is true, then wouldn't it be my own life if I didn't insist? If it's not true, then it's a big deal to lock me up, just don't have to fight!

"Company commander!" Scar handed over a cigarette and said, "There is a saying that be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, why don't we ...... Make a call to confirm with your superiors! There's time now anyway. ”

The company commander looked at the table below unhurriedly, lit the cigarette without hurry, and leisurely spit out the smoke ring, then raised his head to the side and shouted: "Xiao Chen, hang up the phone to the battalion headquarters!" ”

After a while, the microphone was handed over to the company commander, and the company commander shouted into the microphone: "Battalion headquarters? One of our comrades reacted to the wrong numbering of the highlands, right...... Please check with the artillery unit, yes, yes, resolutely obey the order! ”

The company commander put down the microphone, lowered his head and continued to tie the leggings, and said casually: "Do whatever you have to do!" The battalion headquarters said that they would go to check, but without the order of the superiors, everything was done according to Jihua! Also, there is a high probability that problems like this will affect the morale of the fighters and the motivation to fight the enemy. If it's not necessary, don't talk nonsense, understand? ”

"Understood!" Scar and I reluctantly stepped back one by one.

Originally, I thought Scar would complain about me, but to my surprise, he didn't say anything.

Zuihou still I couldn't help but ask: "Platoon commander, you have something to say!" ”

"Say what? What is there to say? Scar's face was full of confusion.

"You've been criticized!" I said, "Isn't it all because of me?" You can also give me a few words......"

"It's not certain who is right and who is wrong!" Scar smiled faintly and said, "Besides, it's none of your business, I decided to take you to see the company commander, didn't I?" ”

I don't have anything to say when Scar says that.

"Don't overthink it!" Scar patted me on the shoulder and said, "Go and get ready for battle!" ”

I returned to the group with my gun in my arms, only to find that the soldiers around me were looking at me strangely, and some were even whispering something. I faintly heard the word "coward", and it was really not a good feeling in my heart. What the fuck is this, Lao Tzu may die here, and he will be scolded as a coward before he dies......

But that's not what I'm most worried about, just in case...... What if what the old man said is true? What if the shells do hit their heads?

I looked nervously at the sky, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to see even if the cannonball hit......

"Assemble!"

The soldiers hula and surrounded us, and the company commander drew his pistol and raised it majestically towards us, lowered his voice and said: "Comrades, after the artillery fire is prepared, take the No. 7 high ground with all your might!" ”

"Take Heights Seven!"

"Avenge the fallen comrades!"

……

The soldiers were grinding their fists one by one, but only I looked at the platoon commander for a while and looked around for a while.

I noticed that Scar's brow was furrowed as well, and he seemed to share my worries, and had intentionally taken us to the vicinity of a cave. From this I can see that Scar is also not very confident in the command of his superiors.

I have heard of this from the old man, and I remember that the old man seemed to remember something, and said very heavily: "The ten years of turmoil have just ended, and there are few soldiers who have been trained, and when the war starts, it will be a mess, and there will be more things for their own people to fight their own people......

Will it be ...... this time? I don't dare to think about the future, if I die in the hands of the enemy, I can still be a martyr, if I die in the hands of my own people......

But what can be done about it? If you don't escape, you're waiting for death here, and if you escape, you're a deserter, and you're also dead!

I clutched the rifle in my hand, keeping my eyes fixed on the cave not far from me, waiting for something to go wrong and run into the cave.

"Get ready for battle!" The company commander looked at the watch on his wrist and gave Zuihou's order.

The soldiers checked their equipment one at a time, their eyes firmly fixed on the seventh heights in the mist a few hundred meters away, but only my mind was not at all on the enemy, but only a nerve collapsed and just waited for the shells to come.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the shells coming, and I didn't see the order to charge.

"What's going on?" The company commander looked at his watch and muttered, it was obvious that Jihua's artillery preparation time had come, but the artillery fire did not come as promised.

While he was surprised, a correspondent hurriedly ran up and shouted breathlessly, "Jihua cancel, Jihua cancel...... Company Commander Li, the battalion commander orders you to pull the troops back and wait for orders! ”

"Hmm!" Company Commander Li gave the order a little stupidly, and at the same time glanced at me.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that this must have been the news from the battalion headquarters before the start of the war.

"What's wrong?"

"Weishenme is not fighting?"

……

As soon as the warriors sat down at the gathering place, they whispered, and I was about to say something, but Scar swallowed everything back with a look. Only then did I remember the order of the company commander just now...... I almost made a mistake again.

"Comrades!" After the company commander answered the phone, he ran back and stood in front of us and shouted: "A big incident has happened, I just got the news from my superiors that the number of the artillery unit's highland is different from the number of our highland!" His grandma dripping ...... The shell almost landed on our heads just now! ”

With a "coax", the soldiers immediately discussed, and they were glad that they had escaped just now.

"Comrades!" The company commander continued to wave his hand and said: "Here, we want to thank a comrade...... This is ......"

"Yang Xuefeng!" Scar said with some pride: "Yang Xuefeng in the second row!" ”

"Yes!" The company commander nodded at me: "It is this Comrade Yang Xuefeng, who reported this situation to us and made our troops ...... No, it should have saved our entire battalion from a single friendly casualty. This fully shows that if you want to become an outstanding revolutionary soldier, it is still far from enough to only fight with a gun, and you must also have excellent observation and a careful and serious attitude, comrades should learn from Comrade Yang Xuefeng! ”

As soon as there was a "...... bang", fierce applause rang out all around me. Those warriors who still looked down on me were now full of admiration and envy.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly feel funny, there is a saying called "the winner is the king, the loser is the villain", originally I thought that this could only be used on the battlefield, but I didn't expect it to be the same in the mental state. This is not? Just now, I was criticized for "disturbing the morale of the military," but now it has become a "careful and serious" attitude.

"Boy!" Scar patted me on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you this time." Otherwise, our troops don't know how many people will be killed or wounded! It's our troops who owe you! ”

I smiled wordlessly and bitterly: What if the troops owe me? Can I not go to war? Can you keep me from dying? Can you send me home?

Family...... In the past, I always felt very close, and I could go back whenever I wanted, but now it feels so far away.

I have to admit that I regretted it at this point, Weishenme himself in modern times has always liked to spend time outside and not want to go home. If I could go home now......
