That night the fighters began to move, the reason was to catch the train...... There are no military columns to sit on this holiday, and the soldiers are from all over the country, so even if you want to arrange military columns, you can't arrange them, and it is impossible to let the military trains go around the whole of China...... Even if the superiors are willing to take the time, they will not allow it!

So the fighters had to go to the railway station to take the train, and the train departure time was different, day and night...... I didn't expect this, but fortunately, Zhang Fan was more careful, and she didn't know where to get a train timetable, so the soldiers each set a pair of trains in the direction of their hometown.

In fact, this is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, because a considerable number of the soldiers have never taken a train, so they can't understand the train schedule, and they can't read the train schedule, and they are in the thick of trains, times, and places of origin...... After watching it for a long time, I couldn't find where I was going.

Some soldiers even touched their heads and asked me, "Battalion commander...... Why is there no Guixi on this? ”

I took the train timetable and searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and then I almost fainted when I asked...... Guixi is a small mountain village in Shandong, and there is no road, so it would be hellish to find it on the train timetable.

Zuihou had no choice, and at the same time, it was also for the soldiers not to take the wrong train or something during this rare holiday, so he had to let Zhang Fan let a few documents that could understand the train schedule be discharged according to the soldiers' respective household registration locations.

But there are also problems with this...... Some of the soldiers are registered in this place, but their parents' families are in another place, so the place to go is different. So they had to be changed one by one. Many of them were worried that they would be on the wrong train and going to the wrong place. So I asked this and that over and over again. Especially that Wang Kechang, he asked each document three or four times...... You must know that our camp has three documents, that is, I have asked more than a dozen times before I can rest assured. This kept Zhang Fan's paperwork busy for a while.

What made me cry and laugh a little was that King Chuang also took this train timetable and asked me which route to take...... Damn, this guy can calculate the trajectory of three or four batches of shells that land at the same time in a matter of seconds, but he can't read the train schedule!

However, I think there may be an element of "concern and chaos" in this...... It's rare to go home once on vacation, and you have to be cautious. If you don't rush back in the wrong car, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

After it was over, Zhao Jingping transferred a few more cars from the battalion...... That's too simple for us, you know, our battalion has cars for infantry, cars for artillery, and even tankmen have cars. The infantryman's car is used to transport troops, the artilleryman's car is used to pull artillery and carry shells, and the tank man's car is used to transport shells, diesel fuel and supplies, so the last thing our battalion lacks is a car.

Then it was almost time, and the clerks took the list and called them one by one, and after calling them to get on the train, they were transported to the train station.

"Battalion commander!" A few soldiers from the second company knew that I was an "orphan", so a few of them shouted at me as they left: "Or ...... Come with us to my hometown. We want any of us, you can go wherever you want...... Guaranteed to entertain you well! ”

"Come on, you!" Liang Lianbing scolded on the side: "The battalion commander has already been ordered by the paperwork. Do you still need to entertain? ”

"Clerical?" Some of the fighters didn't understand it at first, but soon thought of Zhang Fan...... So there was a commotion.

There were even some soldiers who shouted at Zhang Fan not far away: "Zhang Wenwen...... But we have to entertain our battalion commander well, if the battalion commander is not happy, we will not let you go when we come back! ”

After that, there was another commotion, and some of them blew a few whistles very recklessly, only to make Zhang Fan's face flushed and he didn't know where to hide.

"Let's go!" I scolded at those nonsensical soldiers: "When you come back, bring some special products to honor and honor, otherwise Lao Tzu will kick you back for a long vacation!" ”

"Don't worry, battalion commander!" The crowd in the back of the small stone car poked their heads out: "My hometown specialty is pickles, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it!" ”

There was a coax, and the soldiers all burst into laughter.

In batches, they didn't leave until it was close to noon the next day, and the few who were left were those who often came home near Beijing, or were homeless like me...... According to their words, if you go out, you have to pay for food and accommodation, and you can't afford it! It's better to eat and drink well in the army.

So this part of the group stayed behind and took care of the affairs of the headquarters, so that if there was an emergency or something, no one would be found.

Anyway, the warriors are gone...... The barracks, which was still very lively, suddenly became empty, and I felt a little empty as if something was missing.

Thinking about it later, I must have been used to staying with the soldiers, and I was used to the feeling of having soldiers under me, comrades around me, and hundreds of people fighting with me...... As soon as the warriors left, the feeling of insecurity in their hearts quickly rose.

I know I don't need to worry about anything, this is Beijing, and the devils are far away from us...... And this base is full of soldiers, troops.

But...... No matter how much I try to comfort myself, I will have that feeling of uncertainty.

"Yang Xuefeng!" Zhang Fan's mood was obviously a little different from mine, and as soon as the barracks were empty, she began to call me by my name: "Let's leave after dinner...... I've got the car all arranged! ”

"You seem to call me battalion commander!" I said, "And you should ask me!" ”

"What battalion commander!" Zhang Fan said nonchalantly: "I'm on vacation now, and you're on vacation too...... I'm used to calling you, but now it's time for me to call you! ”

All right...... In other words, it is nothing wrong to let Zhang Fan call for a few days, it is nothing more than accompanying her to climb the Great Wall or something, isn't it? Although I have been to these places since the modern era, I think there will be no difference between the modern ones and the modern ones, but the point is that the people who go there are different.

But in the end, we didn't make it......

"Battalion commander!" At this time, the instructor walked towards us with a stack of documents, and only raised his head in front of us, so he couldn't help but be stunned: "Well, nothing, nothing......"

"Instructor!" I stopped the instructor who was about to walk away and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"You ...... Is it convenient? The look on the instructor's face clearly told me that he was regretting ruining my Jihua with Zhang Fan.

"Convenient!" I glanced at Zhang Fan, who was a little unhappy on his face, and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"That's right!" The instructor smiled at Zhang Fan with some apologies, and said hesitantly: "Our counterattack battle is quite chaotic, and some of the fallen soldiers of our company have not been identified until this time, and several of them are nearby...... I was still ...... just now."

Hearing this, my heart couldn't help but sink, and I nodded without waiting for the instructor to finish speaking, and said, "No problem, leave it to me!" ”

When Zhang Fan heard about this, the reluctance on his face just now quickly disappeared, and he even took the initiative to respond: "Leave it to us, I'll go too, the car is ready!" ”

"That's good!" The instructor seemed to let go of a big stone in his heart, picked out a few documents and handed them to me: "There are seven martyrs here, and each martyr's pension is 500, that is...... Three thousand five, I'll get you the money later! ”

"What? The pension for each martyr is only five hundred? "I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

"No way!" The instructor said with some embarrassment on his face: "There are many soldiers who have sacrificed, and the country is also in difficulty......

I don't know what to say.

Then, after a while, the instructor came out of the house carrying a large bag of money and handed it to me...... I couldn't help but be taken aback...... Three thousand five has such a big bag? It's like tens of thousands of modern times!

Later, I learned that the maximum denomination of banknotes in this era was only ten yuan, that is, if it was 500 yuan, there must be at least fifty bills, and then divided into several envelopes and stacked in bags...... It's a bag full of money! (Note: The third set of renminbi was used in '79, with a maximum denomination of ten yuan, and the fourth set of renminbi was issued in '80.) ）

"The addresses are all on the data!" The instructor confessed: "When you find someone, you must check it, don't send it wrong!" ”

"Yes!" I answered, took Zhang Fan to the cafeteria, picked up a few bites of food and went on the road.

When I was sitting in the jeep, I flipped through the information of those martyrs...... In the upper right corner of the document are black-and-white photographs of them in military uniforms, all of whom are very young soldiers...... I seem familiar with them, and one I even remember talking to him...... But I don't remember when or how he died.

The battlefield of the Counterattack ...... On average, more than five thousand people die every day, which is simply astronomical for modern warfare. At that time, everyone was desperate, and there were corpses and blood everywhere, and they didn't have the heart to care about what happened to the comrades next to them, or which comrades were injured.

The supplementary soldiers were also added in batches, and then sacrificed in batches...... So many comrades-in-arms are like these materials and photos in my hands...... We used to live and die together, and we fought hard together in a company against the Yue devils, but I didn't know who they were, and I didn't even know their names until now.

Zhang Fan gently held my hand, as if trying to calm my heart...... But she didn't know that the wounds of war were not so easy to heal. (To be continued......)
