Chapter 13 Route Leader

"I said comrade." Deng Yue asked, "What position do you do in the group?"

"Report to the division commander. I am... a soldier!"

"Hmm?" Deng Yue looked at Captain Chu beside him in confusion and said, "I said, "Old Chu, such an excellent soldier, why don't he have any position?"

"This..." Captain Chu was stumped by this question.

"Report to the commander of the division." I rescued the siege for Captain Chu: "I fainted from the cold halfway and was rescued by the old squad leader. I forgot everything about the past, so I joined the 354th Regiment. I have only been in the regiment for two days, and Captain Chu doesn't know that I should do it too."

"Oh, so that's the case." Deng Yue nodded and said to Captain Chu: "Old Chu, there are many soldiers in our team who dare to fight and fight, but there are not many smart soldiers like this comrade. Our revolutionary team should develop such a comrade. I think he can lead the troops, what do you think?"

"Yes, commander." Captain Chu said in agreement: "Why let him be a platoon leader first!"

"Platform Commander?" I became anxious as soon as I heard this. As far as I know, the combat habits of the volunteer soldiers were completely different from those of the American soldiers and the South Korean army. They protected officers during combat, and officers below the Volunteer Army soldier battalion level had to take the lead in charge. Therefore, the casualties rate of officers in the Volunteer Army was particularly high. It is common for platoon leaders to fight for two or three company commanders. This is amazing. If I was a platoon leader, it would cost me my life...

"Report to the division commander." Thinking of this, I quickly saluted tremblingly and said, "I... I like being a soldier, I am not the material for leading soldiers!"

"Hey, you have led soldiers before?" Deng Yue asked.

"No, no."

"How do you know that you are not the one who leads the troops before? You are still modest!"

I was speechless and I thought for a long time but couldn't think of any excuses. I felt so regretful. Why did I do this? Isn't this pushing myself up at the gun?

"Report!" At this time, a guard's report released the siege for me. He saluted: "Report to the division commander, there is someone who wants to see you. He said he is Major General Kim Jong-song, the commander of the 15th Division of the People's Army!"

"Hmm?" Deng Yue said with some surprise: "It turns out that the comrades from the brotherly party are here, please come!"

After a while, Kim Jong-song and his group came up, so naturally that line was indispensable. Fortunately, there was a translator next to him, so I saved the pain of being unknown. Moreover, judging from the smiles on Kim Jong-song's men's faces, their joy was still sincere. After all, being able to annihilate a regiment of the South Korean army so neatly and seize a large amount of equipment, even if the number of people is superior, it is not easy.

"It's them again!" Captain Chu muttered, "It's time to come after the battle."

"Captain, look." I pointed to Vickosky, who was standing alone on the side because of his language barrier.

"Yes! Damn!" Captain Chu reacted as soon as he saw him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't he still say that our broken equipment can't beat the enemy? Now that we are winning, comrade, go and ask, let's see what he says!"

"yes!"

I turned around and came to Vickoski, handed over the only cigarette from the tiger, lit the fire and said, "Comrade Vickoski, we don't have planes, cannons, and tanks. This battle is pretty good!"

Vickoski was stunned for a moment, looked at me and quickly recognized me. He smiled and said, "Comrade, it depends on who the opponent is. Before you come, isn't the South Korean army also our defeated general? What's the point of being able to beat them? Let's talk to me if you can beat the Americans!"

"Ah?" I never expected him to say that. I was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong?" Captain Chu walked up to him.

"He...he said that it would be great to defeat the Americans!"

"Ball!" Captain Chu's face darkened. Regardless of whether Vickosky could understand, he just shouted at him: "Americans are considered birds, I will call you!"

After saying that, he left without looking back, and he really looked like a timid temper who was unwilling to admit defeat.

After searching for a while, asking a few people, they found the company in the open space among the two wooden houses. The comrades had already taken advantage of this gap to take a quick rest. They were two, three people in a group, gathered together to keep warm, and the 38 guns were placed within reach. Although it looked a bit messy, it can be imagined that as long as there is movement or order, they would enter the combat state in the shortest time.

I pressed the cotton cap on my head, found a corner of the wall, leaned against the rifle, put a few wooden sticks on it, sat down, covered it with a marching and was warmed up. From time to time, a few rumbling sounds of cannons came from the darkness in the distance, and the light from the cannon fire was as bright or dark as lightning, but there were constant snoring around me, which made me feel a new understanding of the quality of the volunteer army.

This is the real warrior. When fighting, I try my best and relax my whole body and mind when resting. Only in this way can I recover my physical strength as soon as possible, so that I can still have the energy and energy to face the next march or war. Although I was exhausted at this time, I couldn't sleep.

"Cui Wei!"

"Come!" I turned around and found that it was Captain Chu. I stood up like a conditioned reflex.

"Shh... whisper." Captain Chu lowered his voice and then woke up several people and gathered together. I didn't know the rest of these people except the old squad leader.

Captain Chu sat next to me with difficulty and said with a serious expression: "Comrades, Platoon Commander Chen unfortunately died in this battle. Platoon Commander Chen is a good comrade! He climbed the snow-capped mountains and walked through the grass with us. After the Japanese fight and the Kuomintang fights, he and Chen married a wife to live a small life at home. Now, the baby is still in her wife's belly and goes to the battlefield again. Just one stray bullet..."

Speaking of this, Captain Chu's voice was so choked that he couldn't speak anymore, and the others lowered their heads secretly.

"I suggest." After a while of silence, Commander Chu continued: "I suggest that Comrade Cui Wei take over the position of platoon leader Chen and serve as the platoon leader of the third platoon. What are the opinions of comrades?"

"Captain! I..." I was a little anxious again.

Except for the old squad leader, the other people showed some doubts on their faces, and a few eyes looked at me unconsciously. No wonder they were so strange. I only had more than a day in this group and I became the platoon leader before I got familiar with it. Why didn’t they feel confused?

"I agree!" At this time, the old squad leader spoke. He said slowly: "Although Comrade Cui Wei has only been in our regiment for one day, he fought bravely. He killed more than a dozen people in one breath and captured four alive. What's even more amazing is that when he was digging Wenjing just now, he saw the key point and suggested that our regiment commander put out the fire. This greatly reduced our losses and also hit the enemy. Now, our regiment has shown his face. No one can catch up with him in terms of credit or talent. I agree."

"oh!"

After hearing what the old squad leader said, everyone realized that I had the idea of ​​shoveling snow and putting out the fire. No one could compare to me in terms of military achievements. Now, no one was inconsistent with the people who were originally confused and dissatisfied with each other now have no objection.

"But the leader, I..."

"Don't let me and mine be like a woman." Captain Chu glared at his eyes and said firmly: "You will be the platoon leader of this platoon from now on! Look, this is the American gun that I just received from those puppet troops - eight big shots, good stuff! And this, the box cannon left by platoon leader Chen!"

Speaking of this, Captain Chu lit up the bright red blood on the box and said to me: "The blood of Platoon Commander Chen is still there. Comrade Cui, I hope you can pass on the spirit of Platoon Commander Chen's not afraid of death or sacrifice, avenge Platoon Commander Chen! Revenge our dead comrades! Shed the last drop of blood for our motherland!"
