Chapter Fifty-Six: Smooth Homecoming
"What's still alive?"
Wu Qianli was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and read it, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Instructor, quickly, the soldier reads it." ”
Mei Sheng leaned over and took the telegram: "To Xia Yuan, the 677th soldier of the 7th Interspersed Company, and all the soldiers: In the process of being separated from the troops, Comrade Xia Yuan annihilated one enemy reconnaissance platoon and captured one platoon of enemy supplies!" Since the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the officers and men of our volunteers have not been afraid of life and death, and have waged a life-and-death struggle with the enemy with a tenacious and tenacious fighting style and a bloody fighting spirit of bravely killing the enemy. ”
At the end of the reading, Mei Sheng's voice was excited, his tone was proud, the biting cold wind was blown away at this moment, and the soldiers of the seventh interspersed company were full of blood and excitement, their faces were facing the sun, and their weather-beaten cheeks became bright at this moment.
"Xia Yuan is still alive, and he also annihilated a platoon of the enemy! Even the commendation telegram from the division headquarters has come down!! ”
The happiest is Li Laicai, that night Xia Yuan 'sacrificed' in order to cover him, which almost became his most annoyed thing, he hated himself, he was already a battlefield veteran, Xia Yuan was just a new recruit, and he was actually protected by a recruit. These days, he has been living in self-blame and chagrin, and now that the war is about to start, the instructor has also asked him to do some ideological work, but there is still a knot in his heart.
If, if you stay yourself, maybe...
But today, it is definitely his happiest day, Xia Yuan is not dead!
Not only did he not die, but he also annihilated a reconnaissance platoon of the enemy army with his own strength! Capture a platoon's armament! He was also commended by the division department!
The soldier next to him patted Li Laicai's shoulder, "He's fine, he also killed a platoon of enemies, he's a hero!" ”
Li Laicai smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Hero, he's a hero!" ”
"Brother Yuan is not dead! He's not dead! ”
Wu Wanli was next to Lei Gong, with a happy smile on his face, and remembered something, and asked, "Hey, how many people are in a platoon?" ”
Lei Gong smiled, with a rare happiness, "There are more than thirty people in a platoon, Xia Yuan annihilated a platoon of the enemy, and also captured a platoon's materials, this is a great achievement!" ”
Wu Wanli said with admiration for Xia Yuan in his heart: "I also want to become a battle hero like Brother Yuan!" ”
Pinghe smiled: "Yes, your brother is a combat hero, and you will be in the future!" ”
Wu Wanli's eyes were shining.
Wu Qianli looked at the faces of the soldiers and said: "Xia Yuan not only did not die, but also annihilated the enemy, and a platoon was notified by the whole division headquarters!" That's a good thing! The telegram also said that the officers and men of our volunteer army are not afraid of life and death, and with their tenacious and tenacious fighting style and the fighting blood of bravely killing the enemy, they will fight to the death against the enemy! The war is about to start, as Xia Yuan's comrades-in-arms, we can't hold Xia Yuan back! It's only been a long time since people joined the army, and it's less than a month, so what about us! We should all the more carry forward the spirit of tenacious fighting, this battle, our seventh company! Be sure to hit the sky! ”
"Hit the sky!!"
The soldiers of the Seventh Company roared, each with surging blood, holding the gun in their hands tightly, with a determined and fearless face.
"This is the glory of our company, we must keep it!"
Mei Sheng rolled up the telegram, put it away solemnly, and said, "Comrades, eat some food, let's go!" ”
"Yes!"
Fried noodles are stuffed into their mouths, potatoes are put in their arms if they can't bite, and if they are too dry, they grab a handful of snow and hold it in their mouths.
After eating some fried noodles and potatoes, Wu Qianli continued to intersperse with the Seventh Company and was about to approach the 1100 and 1200 heights.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
There are only three and a half hours left before the general attack.
The sky was once again dark.
Xia Yuan couldn't sleep, came to a high ground, stared at the 1100 high ground in the distance, looked down at the time from time to time, and had three watches in his hand, and definitely wouldn't run the time.
"It seems calm now, but in a few hours, the Battle of Changjin Lake will start, and I will become the first person to witness the Battle of Changjin Lake in modern times!"
At this moment, there is no excitement in his heart, only calm, endless calm, like a dead pool that can't be blown by a single wind, the Battle of Changjin Lake seems to be a victory, but the Ninth Corps has also paid a heavy price, there are three companies that have frozen to death on the position, they have relied on their tenacious will to lie prone on the snow, forever become ice sculptures, sacrificed, frozen to death of soldiers is as high as 10,000 people.
After all, the Changjin Lake movie beavirates the U.S. military in the end.
The reality is brutal.
After seeing the ice sculpture company, the U.S. troops did not salute, but gave machine gun fire, and only approached to check when they saw that the enemy had not moved.
The war has not yet begun, and no one knows better than him the direction of the future war, and this so-called clarity is only an understanding of some combat situations.
He can't change all this, the rings of history will not be forced to stop just because a small bug is put in, it will just crush the bug and move on.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sky began to darken, and at this moment, the sky lost its color, and it was like withered snowflakes falling one after another.
There were only two and a half hours left before the battle began.
Xia Yuan's vision suddenly appeared a cautious team, he fixed his eyes, his pupils suddenly dilated, his lying body became stiff, it took a lot of effort to struggle out of the snow, and he immediately stumbled towards the mountain.
The seventh interspersed company.
Wu Qianli led more than 100 people interspersed between the snow-capped mountains and the forest, and the cold wind howled, blowing people's cheeks painfully.
The scout in charge of the guard was on guard more than a hundred meters away from the company, and suddenly, he stopped, looked at the dim hillside, and a shadow stumbled towards him.
Frightened, he quickly raised his gun and aim.
The next moment the shadow spoke.
"I, Xia Yuan!"
Xia Yuan!
The reconnaissance soldiers were startled, put down their guns and looked at them, one was wearing a military coat, his face could not be seen clearly, and he was carrying a gun wrapped with strips of cloth on his back, which was captured from the US army when they first entered the first war in Korea, and many soldiers in the company had replaced the US army's rifles.
He still remembered Xia Yuan's voice.
"Xia Yuan, it's really you!"
It wasn't until the figure in front of him pulled down the strip of cloth wrapped around his face, revealing a familiar face, that he stepped forward in surprise, "Xia Yuan!" It's you, you're still alive, big hero! You yourself annihilated a platoon! We all know it! The whole division also knows! The division has rewarded you with a full division! ”
Xia Yuan was confused, now was not the time to think about this, "What about the company commander, take me to the company commander first, the battle will start immediately, I have something important to report!" ”
When the scout soldier heard this, he quickly nodded: "Follow me!" ”
The two of them stepped on the snow one after the other, running all the way from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Before the scout soldiers approached the team, they began to shout: "Company commander, company commander, Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan is back!" ”
"Stop!"
Wu Qianli, who heard the voice, ordered the team, looked at the two shadows from the source of the sound and ran over, and the reconnaissance soldier pulled Xia Yuan very happily: "Company commander, Xia Yuan!" ”
As soon as the soldiers in the Seventh Company heard that Xia Yuan was back, they quickly surrounded them, and familiar faces appeared in front of them, Wu Qianli, Wu Wanli, Mei Sheng, Yu Congrong, Pinghe, Lei Gong, Li Laicai... There were also many soldiers of the Seventh Company with familiar faces, who stood in the wind and snow, looking at the returning Xia Yuan with a smile on their faces.
Xia Yuan froze, stood in front, and saluted the soldiers of the Seventh Company, "Report!" Xia Yuan, the 677th soldier of the 7th Interspersed Company, asked to return to the team! ”
Wu Qianli was happy, saluted and said, "Approved!" ”
He stepped forward and gave Xia Yuan a big hug: "It's good to come back!" It's good to be back! ”
Then Mei Sheng also said: "Good job, you have made meritorious contributions for the Seventh Company!" ”
Yu Congrong was still the same old look, hooked Pinghe's neck, looked at Xia Yuan, and jokingly said, "The ladies are home." ”
Xia Yuan grinned, "Girls are not girls, will you practice later?" ”
Yu Congrong waved his hand again and again, "Don't." ”
The soldiers of the Seventh Company laughed.
Xia Yuan also laughed.
He still remembers the first time he and Yu Congrong met.
That's nice.
