"Battalion commander! Look who's coming......" Just as I was discussing with the instructor who to let stay, Company Commander Luo walked in with a man dressed in the costume of an Afghan civilian.

As soon as I saw that figure, I felt quite familiar, and when I looked at it again, I couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and walked forward a few steps to hold his hand and said, "Commander, why are you here!" ”

It turned out that he was Liu Guoxian, my old commander in the 40th Division......

"I'm here to take your place!" Head Liu smiled.

"Replace us?" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "Shall we go back to Pakistan to rest?" ”

Head Liu shook his head, patted me on the shoulder and said, "This time...... It's to let you go home! ”

"Returning home?"

The instructor and I couldn't help but look at each other...... When I received the order from Pakistan, I had a vague feeling that it was very likely that we would return to China, but I didn't expect this to be the case.

"How?" Looking at our expressions, the head of the regiment quipped: "Aren't you happy to let you go back to China?" ”

"No...... No! How could it be! "That's what I said, but in fact, I was really a little reluctant to let go of it.

That's often the case when you become a soldier...... When I was fighting in the position, I thought about going home every day, but when I really wanted to go home...... But he is reluctant to give up the land for which he once shed blood and sacrificed.

Of course, there are also comrades who have fought together here...... I looked at Hassan, who was standing not far away, stunned, and his face was also full of confusion and confusion.

The regimental commander glanced around and asked, "Can I speak?" ”

"Oh!" That's when I reacted. He stepped forward and replied, "Report to the head of the regiment, yes!" ”

"This is Hassan, the commander of the guerrillas!" I introduced to Commander Liu: "He is a comrade-in-arms who can be trusted, and he is also the main object of our support!" ”

"Hello Comrade Hassan!" Head Liu enthusiastically stepped forward and shook Hassan's hand and said, "My name is Liu Guoxian...... In the future. It is up to me to take over the work of Camp Commander Yang, and I hope we have a happy cooperation! ”

"Hello!" Hassan looked at Captain Liu with some stump, and then at me.

Of course, I understood what he meant, so I laughed and said, "Hassan, don't worry...... Captain Liu is my old leader, that is, my superior, understand? He's a lot better than I am! ”

Of course, I am helping Regiment Leader Liu to establish his authority, but Regiment Leader Liu does not accept this set. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "Captain Hassan, don't listen to him...... This guy's ability to fight is well-known in our army, and there are few people who can match him...... However, I believe that as long as we are united...... It's no worse than this guy! ”

Hassan was relieved to hear us say this. Because he at least knows that Captain Liu is not the kind of person who wants to be famous.

"Here's the thing!" After a pause, Regiment Commander Liu said: "The superiors already know the process of your repeated defeats of the Soviet army's attacks, and at the same time, they also know that the 'Stinger' missile equipment in the Xijieo Valley has greatly enhanced the air defense capability of the valley......

When he said this, Head Liu deliberately paused and looked at me......

I knew what that meant, of course, and nodded with a smile. So Head Liu breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "So now...... The higher-ups believed that the defenses of the Higio Valley had been temporarily stabilized. The superiors affirmed the results of the synthetic battalion and ...... at the same time The Synthetic Battalion has been fighting continuously in Afghanistan for some days, so it was decided to send our troops to replace the Synthetic Battalion and return home......"

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Hassan had not been in contact with us for a day or two, so knowing that the Chinese soldiers were like a mountain of military orders, the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he gave me a chest salute and said, "Thank you for your help to us and Afghanistan during this time...... Allah bless you! ”

I didn't speak, just gave a chest press in return...... For this comrade-in-arms who has always been trusted by me and trusts me. Now that we're separated, I don't know what to say!

The next few days will be a series of handover work, and I will explain to Commander Liu the details of the battle, defense deployment, and various aspects of the Xijieao Valley...... I only heard that Regiment Leader Liu was dumbfounded. In particular, there were several open and secret battles with the Soviet army...... I can't help but let Captain Liu applaud the case, and I can't help but say that only I can fight such a wonderful battle!

Finally, the day of the breakup finally came...... As usual, we did not spread the news, and only a few key members of the guerrilla group, including Hassan, knew about it, and even the Chinese soldiers thought that this was just a temporary recuperation for returning to Pakistan.

The reason for this is ...... I'm afraid that the Soviets will hate our unit and let them know that we're going to withdraw from the valley...... It would be strange if we didn't lay a net on the route of our retreat and wait for us!

As for the Chinese soldiers, they don't let them know...... It's worried that they are too excited, you know, we haven't been back to China for a year...... It's better that I didn't go home, but I didn't go back home and I was still fighting and dying abroad...... I always felt that it was not a taste, like duckweed without roots, drifting outside...... If it weren't for the fact that I still thought that this was fighting for the country, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold on to it a long time ago.

So...... Now if they hear about it, they can go back to China...... I'm afraid that they will run around happily, so how can they hide from the eyes of Soviet spies hiding in the partisans?

So I simply didn't say anything...... Just waiting for this night, I secretly called the troops up and pulled them into the mountains!

Of course, several insiders such as Hassan and Lapuchu still came to see him off...... Before leaving, Hassan only said: "Battalion Commander Yang, as long as I am still in the Xijieo Valley for one day...... You are welcome back here at any time and under any circumstances, and you are still our battalion commander! ”

I nodded...... Understand what Hassan meant by "anytime, in any situation."

Then our group soon set out quietly on the road to Pakistan...... Perhaps because we have done a good job of secrecy, or because the new defeat of the Soviet army has no intention of blocking our army's supply lines, we have not been blocked by the Soviet army on this way, and the only difficulty is that we must always worry about the mines laid by the Soviet army on the road......

That's a real nuisance...... Because the mines are laid out in snowdrifts, and many of the mines in the Soviet army are plastic and cannot be detected with mine detectors at all, the soldiers of the special agent company have learned all kinds of demining training, and sometimes these mines will still move...... The reason is that the snow layer slides, so don't look at the traces of people walking on the road...... If you step on it, you may have a "boom......

Our solution is to let Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi walk in front of the minefield when passing through the minefield...... This seems to be a bit faceless, a team of five big and three thick male soldiers, and women have to walk in front of the minefield...... However, he was forced to do so......

Chen Qiaoqiao, a Vietnamese agent who has played with landmines since she was a child, has a natural sensitivity to landmines, and even if she walks on the road, it is no different from other places...... But she could feel it, and then poked it gently with a bamboo pole...... Sure enough, you will see a little bit of the green color of the mine.

Chen Yiyi's ability to rely on observation is all about observation...... She is good at tracking, which in the final analysis is to observe all kinds of clues on the road, and accurately determine what and how these clues are caused...... So she can always find subtle anomalies on the road surface, so as to determine whether there are mines or not!

With these two sisters in front and cooperating with the mine detection, we can rest assured that we will follow behind, and we only need to step on the footprints of these two sisters.

So the next day, when it was dark...... We finally arrived at our base in Peshawar!

Zhang Zuoliang and others, who received the news and knew that we would be back, were waiting for us there for a long time...... When we saw us from afar, we cheered, grabbed it, handed water and carried bags, so unenthusiastic!

Zhang Zuoliang held my hand tightly and said excitedly: "Battalion commander...... You're back! I didn't expect you to be gone for so long...... I miss us, if there is such a task next time...... You have to take me with you, it's so boring to stay at the base! ”

"That's it!" Another fighter also accosted him: "I heard the news that you are fighting the Soviet devils in the base, but we have nowhere to do it, and we have been training, training and training against the guerrillas all day long...... Now I'm sick when I hear about training! Next time, I'll have to change what I say! ”

"Next time?" I smiled and said, "There's no next time!" We're going back to China......"

"What?" As soon as I heard this, the chaos around me immediately fell silent, and everyone forgot about me in disbelief.

"Battalion commander...... What did you just say? Scar asked cautiously, "What did you just say...... Return? I heard you right! ”

"You heard it right!" The instructor replied, "Comrades...... The superiors decided to take into account the fact that our performance in Afghanistan was excellent and that we had been fighting for a year...... Let's go back home and recuperate! Of course, we still have to be ready to fight in Afghanistan again......"

"Good!" Before the instructor could finish speaking, the warriors cheered loudly...... This is great news for them.

For the fighters...... What is the significance of returning home?

That is, you can set foot on your own land again, and you can meet your own family, your own parents and fellow villagers......

"Congratulations to Camp Commander Yang!" Major Rana walked up to me, shook my hand and said, "You have successfully completed the mission, I hope we will have a chance to work together in the future!" ”

"Thank you!" I shook Rana's hand and looked gratefully at him and the Pakistani soldiers around him...... If it weren't for their full support, we wouldn't have achieved such a victory today! (To be continued......)
