Chapter 157: Triumph
After more than half an hour, we returned to the training base, and the staff officers and soldiers who stayed at the base had already received the news of our victory, and specially unfurled a red banner on the gate, on which were written the words "Welcome the triumphant return of the Fifth Battalion......
That's right, but it's a bit flattering...... But it doesn't seem strange that people in this era can write a few words even if it's good, and they can still be asked to write beautifully?
Staff Officer Liu didn't know where to find a big drum, and as soon as the door opened, it knocked open, and then the soldiers lined up on both sides to serve tea and water to us who got off the bus.
The first person I saw when I got out of the car was Zhang Fan...... Her face was clearly full of anxiety and worry, and it wasn't until she found me in the crowd that she relaxed and turned into surprise, and then she walked up to me quickly, and asked like a cannon, "Are you okay, is there anything hurt?" Why don't you reply to a message, you can't use the phone when you are fighting, and you can't fight after the war......
I couldn't help but feel funny to myself, in fact, I knew that Zhang Fan had long known that I would be fine...... I'm the commander of a battalion, aren't I? If I had hung up the lottery or something, the news would have already reached the base. But that's how women ...... Maybe it's because most women are insecure, so they always think to themselves, what if they are on the road, what if others don't tell her the truth......
This is also the suspicious side of women, and at the same time, because they care about it, they will only let go when they actually see people, and it is precisely because I know this that I also know...... No matter how many calls you make, it's useless. Unless I've kept in touch with Zhang Fan all the way. Otherwise, she wouldn't be reassured.
"Battalion commander. Well played! ”
"Well played!"
……
At this time, King Chuang and other staff officers came up to shake my hand.
Among them, Staff Officer Liu, who was in charge of our combat training, was even more emotional, he held my hand tightly and said, "Battalion Commander Yang, congratulations! Fought a big victory...... I thought it would take at least a few more months for this Banwang regiment to get it back! I didn't expect to be easily beaten down by you in just a few days! I really didn't know how to treat you as a soldier at first......"
Before Staff Officer Liu could finish speaking, the surrounding soldiers all burst into laughter.
At this time, with a few jeep brakes, four or five jeeps stopped in front of us, and I took a serious look at it and it turned out to be Commander Huang, but he was full of displeasure with a dark face, and only saw that the people around him were a little inexplicable.
"Hello Chief!" Of course, Staff Officer Liu knew who Commander Huang was. Hurriedly ran up and saluted.
Commander Huang nodded, and when he saw me, he walked up quickly, shook my hand, and said, "Comrade Yang Xuefeng, thank you so much...... We originally thought that it would be ideal to take Banwang at the cost of a regiment, but now we ...... Because of your battalion, our losses are only two companies! Moreover, a large number of Vietnamese troops were killed and wounded, and a large number of materials were seized, and your battle really opened the eyes of an old man! ”
"Captain Huang has won the award!" I said: "This is also thanks to the 73rd Army, otherwise we would not have been able to win this battle even if we have the ability to reach the sky!" ”
"Huh!" Commander Huang waved his hand and said: "You are the master, we are the second, we are very clear about this, we soldiers don't say those words that turn the corner." If you are not as good as you, you are not as good as you! ”
"Commander Huang ......" Hearing this, I hesitated and asked, "You can't be ...... I'm not happy about this! ”
This is the only one who dares to ask this directly, if it is someone else. How dare a battalion commander ask the army commander if he loses his temper because his troops are inferior to himself, even if this era pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, there is no such aura!
Commander Huang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then hahadaxiao got up: "I said Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" You also underestimate me Huang Rongqing...... If I was upset about this, I wouldn't admit it! ”
I think it's really ...... when Commander Huang said this This kind of thing is often that the more you don't admit it, the more you go to your heart, on the contrary, if you admit it generously, you will face it with the right attitude, and Commander Huang still has this mind.
"Then the army commander, you are ......" so I didn't understand that Huang Jun Commander Weishenme was going to have a black face.
Staff Officer Xu, who came with Commander Huang, helped explain: "Commander Huang is not happy because he can't keep you for a few more days!" ”
"Oh!" When I heard this, I suddenly realized, and at the same time heard another meaning of these words...... We may be leaving again soon.
Sure enough, I saw Commander Huang frowning and said, "Comrade Yang Xuefeng...... I said that your commander Zhang is too unkind, I mean to stay here for a while longer, on the one hand, so that I can thank you on behalf of the 73rd Army, and on the other hand, I can also let my soldiers learn more from you...... I didn't expect this commander to be iron-hearted, no matter how I say it! What else to say...... Who let you not know the goods, this treasure has been in your hands for more than a month, and I have only found out now...... It's late! Tell me what it's called......"
The soldiers around me and the soldiers couldn't help but be angry and funny when they heard it, and they felt that Commander Huang was still unhappy because he was fighting with Commander Zhang, and we thought it was a big deal!
Later, I learned that things were far from being as simple as Commander Huang said, and that Commander Huang had the intention of leaving our synthetic battalion behind, and then delaying it again and again...... Zuihou grinds and grinds and becomes a soldier of their troops. In other words, our synthetic battalion is now well-equipped and can fight, so it is naturally a sweet spot in the eyes of the chief......
However, who is Commander Zhang, how could he not know which play Commander Huang sang with him, so he gritted his teeth and didn't let go...... I just have to come back right away, and I can't delay it for a day!
"Commander!" I asked, "When are we leaving?" ”
Commander Huang sighed and said with regret: "The military train is already waiting, and it will leave in two hours...... If you want to load the car......"
As he spoke, Commander Huang raised his head at the large number of armored vehicles we had captured, and said, "It's almost time to leave now!"
"We've taken all these things with us, the commander won't mind!" Although I know what Commander Huang means, I think it's better to say it.
"Of course not!" Commander Huang patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You originally paid it, if I, Huang Rongqing, detain you from this, then I still have the face to be this commander?!! Besides, if these things fall into our hands, we don't know how to use them! ”
As he spoke, he looked at the wheeled armored vehicles with some surprise and sighed, "Good guy...... I really didn't expect this thing to be able to chase the tank, it seems that equipping this thing depends on how people use it! ”
This is right, equipment is dead, and people are alive, and any kind of equipment needs to be learned and used by people in order to give full play to its strengths.
"Then, brother, I won't send you!" Then Commander Huang shook my hand heavily and said, "I hope we will have a chance to fight together in the future, and I hope we don't need to fight in the future!" ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and soon saluted Commander Huang.
The non-need to fight here refers to the end of the war...... A haode soldier should not fight for the sake of fighting, but for the sake of peace, and Commander Huang is obviously such a soldier.
Before we set off, Staff Officer Liu specially led people to fill our armored vehicles and tanks with diesel...... This is the benefit of universal fuel, whether it is the enemy or your own people, basically the things that can be driven on the battlefield are diesel engines, so get a few barrels of diesel and pour them in.
If there is a gasoline engine or a diesel engine...... It would be miserable, and on the battlefield it will soon fall into chaos like the non-universal use of ammunition.
Then Staff Officer Liu was very enthusiastic and prepared a lot of food for us to eat on the road...... Of course, these foods are compressed biscuits and canned food, and this is the only thing in the troops, especially in the front-line troops.
Because of the previous experience of taking the train, we actually know that these things are not necessary, and you can eat white rice at the military station on the way...... However, because it was difficult to refuse, and at the same time, it was also a little bit of the heart of Staff Officer Liu and Commander Huang, so they accepted it all!
So the troops had just come down from the front line, and before they had time to rest for a few days after returning to the base, they embarked on the journey again.
This trip is no different from the last trip, that is, it is to return the same way, and the loading is also the same as the last time...... The difference is that the equipment seems to have changed a bit of a shotgun, with a large number of armored vehicles, and then there are six Soviet-style T62s...... This thing may not be useful on the battlefield, but it is definitely much more powerful than an armored vehicle when used for display.
In fact, I think the most different thing is the mentality of the fighters...... This feeling is very obvious, the reason is very simple, when you come, you are going to the battlefield, you are ready to sacrifice, and your heart is heavy as if you are sitting on a mountain. But when I went back, it was the exact opposite...... That's a catastrophe, that's a triumphant return, that's to go back to the Xiangshang level with excellent results to report to the chief and his family......
So there is no need for us leaders to worry about it, the soldiers are all energetic and laughing.
This also illustrates a problem: although many people always have words such as "not afraid of sacrifice" and "courage to kill the enemy", people's instinct is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, no matter who they are, there will be a natural "fear" ...... a corner of their hearts.
It's just a matter of ...... Do we have the courage to overcome fear and go to the battlefield! (To be continued......)
