Chapter 182: Go Home

The battle soon ended with the shouts of the warriors.

Although in front of us was the 316A Division of the Vietnamese Army's Ace Division, this unit had already lost its morale and confidence in winning the battle for the pass with us in the past few days, so it quickly fell apart and collapsed under the annihilation of the main force. When I walked up to the 217 heights again, I saw a large number of Vietnamese troops kneeling on the ground and raising their hands to surrender to our troops...... It seems that this more devil is not all killed and will not surrender, but the time has not yet come.

Of course, some of these Vietnamese troops fled into the jungle in time...... The terrain of the battlefield in Vietnam is such that there will always be some loopholes that can be exploited by the enemy at any time. However, these Vietnamese deserters did not seem to be comfortable, because our army soon attracted a burst of artillery fire to block and shoot at the loophole......

My soldiers and I knew the effect of the shells falling into the forest, so we knew very well that few of the Vietnamese deserters would be able to escape completely.

It's just that all this is not my concern, because it doesn't matter how many people die in the enemy, what matters is how many people in our troops can survive until this moment to see victory.

Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, I was still stunned when I walked up to the hilltop position and saw the corpses all over the ground: there were only twenty or thirty people left in a company, and the corpses of my comrades were everywhere in front and behind the trenches, and although I couldn't name them, most of them were familiar people. To make matters worse, many of them still have unswallowed bark in their mouths, some bite grass, and some martyrs have their intestines full of wild herbs and weeds......

If it's not what you see with your own eyes and experience it yourself. I simply couldn't believe it was true...... There will really be people who are still fighting desperately with the enemy in such a situation. I used to think it was just an exaggeration and artistic treatment of the movie.

See us coming up. Company Commander Luo, Scar and other dozens of surviving soldiers surrounded us from all sides and hugged us tightly.

There was no cheering, no jubilation.

The warriors were wordless and hugging, their faces unconsciously full of tears.

To say that weishenme cries, maybe we ourselves are not very clear...... Maybe it's because it's a victory, maybe it's because it's still alive, maybe it's because of the comrades who died, or maybe it's because there are a little bit of mixed feelings in all aspects.

All I know is that at that moment, I kept repeating one sentence in my heart: war is cruel. War is cruel......

I seemed to be telling myself, or I could argue for convincing myself, with this phrase...... War is how it should be, and I should accept this reality.

However, things are always easier said than done, if you really stand on this battlefield in front of a large number of corpses and personally experience the death of those familiar people one by one, then there will naturally be a shock and a fear in your heart.

The shock comes from the tragedy of the sacrifice of the soldiers, and the fear comes from the breath of death on the battlefield.

After a while, the commander of our army Liu walked up to the 217 heights under the protection of the guards, and in his eyes, I could clearly see a shock...... I believe that was the only feeling he had after seeing the rows of tank wreckage in the canyon and the dense corpses of Vietnamese soldiers on the 217 heights.

This is going on in a different battlefield. I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to achieve this result even with several times the superior strength, but we have done it with four companies. In particular, the enemy is still the 316A Division of the Vietnamese Army, and the strength of the army is several times that of ours.

"Comrades have worked hard!" Regiment Commander Liu shook hands with us one by one and wanted to say something, but seeing that there were only so many people left in one of our companies, Zuihou couldn't say anything, only gritted his teeth and nodded at us.

The main force then continued to sweep away the remnants of the enemy in the area of the pass, and soon after cleaning up the battlefield, it pointed the spearhead at the besieged Sabah.

The Vietnamese troops who remained in Sabah originally wanted to hold on, but after knowing that the main force had been annihilated by our army, they soon realized that they had no hope and no point in continuing to fight, so they raised the white flag to our army a few hours later.

But none of this is what we need to care about, because we will soon be transferred to the second line with the help of the militia forces......

The help of the militia was needed because the fighters were so tired that they could not get a good night's sleep for several days and fought hungry...... This kind of physical exertion is not something that ordinary people can imagine, and there are even many soldiers who faint to death on the spot the moment they see the main force.

The other soldiers and I were no better, devouring a few biscuits and getting some water, leaning into the trench next to me and falling asleep.

In fact...... I didn't know if I had passed out or fallen asleep, because I didn't even know that I was being carried on a stretcher by the militia and sent to the second line...... When I woke up, I found myself in a private house.

The moment I opened my eyes, I couldn't figure out the situation for a long time, and I vaguely heard a burst of cheers outside, and I couldn't help but jump up in shock, and I was relieved when I saw Scar and others next to me, who were also awakened.

"What is this place?" The first person to ask was Company Commander Luo, but no one could answer.

"How long have we been asleep?" Scar's jerky eyes widened: "Why are you still cheering outside...... Has this battle just ended? ”

"That's it!" Company Commander Luo was also a little puzzled: "I also feel comfortable sleeping this night, why are they screaming when they sleep, and they are still screaming when they wake up!" ”

Later we learned that we had been sleeping here for a day and a night...... This cheer has another meaning.

The soldiers and I opened the door and walked out in confusion, only to be held by the soldiers outside for some reason, only to hear them shouting incessantly: "Victory, victory......".

Scar looked at them in disbelief and said, "What's there to be happy about?" Isn't it just about winning a battle? ”

However, the warriors continued to scream and jump, and some even threw their hats high into the air...... I only saw that we were even more confused by the second monk.

"Comrade, you don't know yet, do you?" One of the fighters ran up to us excitedly and said, "We have won, we can go home......

"Defeated Sabah?" Scar is still a little unclear, so: "As for ......"

But he was stunned only halfway through his words, and then grabbed the soldier and asked, "Comrade, what did you say?" Can you go home? ”

"Yes, comrade!" The warrior raised his head at the loudspeaker hanging over our heads and said, "Don't you hear what is being said?" ”

We didn't really hear it, and the main reason was that the cheers almost drowned out the volume of the horns.

As soon as I listened attentively, I saw a clear voice coming from the words word by word: "Due to the Vietnamese invaders' continuous armed provocation against our country, our border guards were forced to launch a self-defense counterattack on February 17, and now the expected goal has been achieved, and the Chinese government has announced that from March 5, 1979, the Chinese border troops will be withdrawn to China one after another......"

Hearing this, the soldiers and I couldn't help but be stunned, we still couldn't believe that this war was over, so that many soldiers listened carefully again with a confirmed mentality...... Eventually, he realized that he had heard correctly, and soon let out a shout to join in the cheers.

At this time, I had mixed feelings, I had been waiting for this moment, but when this moment really came, I was a little overwhelmed.

At this time, I was thinking, what can I do when I return to China? Continue to live in this shijie?

Or is my mission to come to this era accomplished? It's time for me to go back to my shijie too?

It's just that what I didn't expect was ...... This is just the beginning, and the war is still far, far from the day when it will really end.

Like me, Chen Yiyi was a little stunned, I saw her not far away with a little shock and regret in her eyes, and then she lowered her head and turned around and walked into the house alone.

I had doubts in my heart, so I chased her into the house and asked, "Second squad leader, what's wrong?" Why are you still unhappy when you want to go back to China? ”

"Hmm!" Chen Yiyi casually responded, holding the gun and bowing her head silently.

Immediately, I quickly remembered that Chen Yiyi had told me that she also had a sister, so I comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the war is over, and your sister's matter will last a long time, and it is not too late to solve it slowly!" ”

"Hmm!" Chen Yiyi still only nodded and did not speak.

But I say so with my mouth, but I know it in my heart...... Since Chen Yiyi's sister is a soldier in the Vietnamese army, Chen Yiyi is afraid that she will not have the opportunity to meet at all after returning to China. Chen Yiyi is a woman, isn't she? Let's not say that our troops don't know when they will go to the battlefield again, and even if they go to the battlefield again, I'm afraid that Chen Yiyi won't have it.

But that seems to be exactly what I was hoping for...... I am very glad that I was finally able to fulfill my wish and bring Chen Yiyi back to China to live in a peaceful shijie.

What I didn't know, however, was that it was nothing more than wishful thinking on my part...... I thought about things too simply, I couldn't imagine Chen Yiyi's attachment to her family, she would never leave her family alone, even if she regarded me as family.

At this time, I couldn't understand Chen Yiyi's thoughts, and just as I was about to say something to comfort her, the soldiers under my command rushed in excitedly and hugged me, and kept shouting: "Platoon commander, we can go home, we can really go home!" ”

"Platoon commander! Let's celebrate and celebrate when we return home! ”

……

Go home?

When I heard this word, I felt helpless, I didn't know where my home was...... Does this shijie have a place for me Yang Xuefeng? Can I really adapt to this shijie's life? (To be continued......)
