Chapter 80 The Real Excuses

I opened my eyes in a daze and found that I was lying on the bumpy stretcher, and bursts of pain came from my whole body. Perhaps it was because the warrior carrying the stretcher was too big to wake me up.

Faces were swaying in front of me, and there were several faces that seemed to be similar, but they were so dark that no one could see clearly. A volunteer army cadre wearing glasses appeared in front of me. After he looked at me seriously, he asked, "He is Cui Wei, the commander of the 538th Regiment?"

After receiving a positive answer, he immediately ordered: "Hurry! Add two more sanitary officers, be sure to ensure his safety, prepare the car, guards... transfer a platoon to escort... wait, add two more tanks, there are mines on the road..."

I heard these words, but I was still in chaos and didn't realize that these were all "services" for me. If I had known at that time that this volunteer army cadre wearing glasses was the commander of the 21st Army, known as Zhou Yu, and also transferred a platoon of guards to escort me, and even used two tanks to lead the way behind... Then I would definitely be moved to jump out of the stretcher. The Volunteer Army troops have always paid attention to equality between cadres and soldiers. Who else could have such treatment?

But I didn't know about this at that time, so I was lucky to not jump off the stretcher. Maybe it was because I was too exhausted, maybe it was because I was too sleepy, or because I knew I was safe, so my nervous nerves relaxed... In short, I just woke up for a while, and then fell asleep in a drowsy way.

I didn't sleep well this time, and I didn't know whether it was a dream or a reality. When I opened my eyes, I saw myself in the car compartment. Under the kerosene lamp, several sanitary workers were busy beside me. When I opened my eyes, I saw Jin Qiulian and Lin Xue beside me. When I opened my eyes, I saw him on a stretcher again...

When I woke up completely and regained my consciousness, I found myself lying on a bed with a kerosene lamp hanging on the wall, illuminating the infusion bottle at the head of the bed. I was covered with a quilt, which was very clean and warm. Compared with the mud and dirty water on the 585.2 high ground, it was like a sky and a ground.

I felt a little dizzy when I supported myself with my upper body. Maybe it was because I had to recover from my energy loss!

"You're awake!" Jin Qiulian's surprise voice came from beside her.

"Comrade Jin... Why are you here?" I asked in confusion, and then I soon realized that she had been sleeping on the edge of the bed. Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little moved. How long have I been in a coma? Has she been with me like this? She should have had more rest after the war, how can she do this? And... Lin Xue...

"Your Xue Mei is fine!" Jin Qiulian seemed to have seen through my thoughts and said with a light smile: "She has also come to you several times, and she also wants to stay and take care of you, but her political commissar brother will not let her go back and rest! I am a health officer, so it is natural to take care of you!"

As she said that, she smiled at me proudly, as if she felt that Lin Xue could not take care of me by her side and that she could take great advantage...

"Oh, wait!" Jin Qiulian jumped from the chair as if she suddenly remembered something. She quickly took out the porcelain bowl from the cupboard and walked towards the stove that was still on fire, and said jokingly: "Your Xuemei is thinking about you all day long! She will give you a bowl of porridge every two or three hours later, and repeatedly told me to heat it in the pot, otherwise you will not have hot porridge when you wake up..."

"Hey..." Jin Qiulian sat in front of me with a bowl of porridge, scooped a spoonful and sent it to my mouth, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your Snow Girl is so nice to you, don't let others down!"

"You..." I didn't know how to answer Jin Qiulian's words.

This is not very similar to her. She has always been a person who will fight for whatever she wants and will say whatever she wants. But what she says now is obviously not what she thinks.

Of course, I dare not expect her and Lin Xue to accept me at the same time. When the puppet army entered the final hand-to-hand combat with the 585.2 Highway, they did have this meaning, but I also knew it very well in my heart that everyone thought they would die soon, so they did not consider the difficulties of reality and the worldly vision. For example, now, I believe that one of the reasons why Lin Xue was not by my side was because she was worried that other soldiers would gossip.

The real difficulty is... the troops have military discipline, and North Korea and China are monogamous, and such things will never be allowed to happen.

And I also know that the "style problem" in this era is very strict. Take our Corps Commander Wang Jinshan as an example! He is a man who has made great achievements on the battlefield and has now reached the position of Corps Commander. He can be said to be a senior cadre no matter what. But he has a stubborn temper and wants to divorce if he can't live with his wife. To be honest, this divorce is a very normal thing for modern people, but in this era it is a veritable "style problem". So all the military achievements he made in the past are wiped out, and he truly understands Jia Guitian and becomes an ordinary citizen...

As a commander, I was demoted because of such a "style problem", so what can I be regarded as a mere regiment leader? Besides, my problem is still a big problem. And most of the soldiers under my command did not tell this, otherwise, I might be in the confinement room now...

"By the way, how are the soldiers?" I knew the answer I got would be cruel, but in the end I couldn't help but ask.

"The soldiers are all very good..." Jin Qiulian avoided my eyes and said lightly: "You can recover from your injuries! Stop thinking about other things. The doctor said you have lost too much blood, and your physical overdrawn too much..."

"Tell me! How many people are coming back?" Jin Qiulian was changing the topic. I didn't want to let her get over it like this.

"There are 148 people in the two battalions in the 585.2 Highland!" Jin Qiulian looked at me and replied helplessly: "There are only more than 270 people in the 522.1 Highland. When she came back, no comrades knew each other. The military uniforms were torn one by one, revealing their shoulders and belly... No soldier's clothes were intact!"

I couldn't help but feel silent. Only more than 400 people could come back alive... A group of more than 3,000 people went up, and only one or two days later, only a fraction of the time came down!

"But one thing is a great blessing in disgrace!" Jin Qiulian continued: "The casualties of the Cold Gun troops are not serious. There are 23 magic guns with combat capabilities. Most of them are slightly injured or have too much physical strength. It will be fine if you rest for a few days!"

"Yeah!" I nodded. There is a reason why the soldiers in the Cold Gun Army have little casualties. They have always known how to protect themselves. Moreover, they have different roles in the mission. For example, when the soldiers were fighting for sting, they shot and killed the puppet troops on the second line, which also made their casualties less.

"Did you win the battle?" Then I gritted my teeth and asked. Our regiment paid such a great price for the victory of this battle. I wonder if the sacrifices of the soldiers were worth it.

"Win!" Jin Qiulian nodded: "The four puppet army divisions suffered devastating blows, and were killed and injured by our army, and many were captured. However, I don't know the specific number of people. The entire front moved south by 9.5 kilometers. All the heavy equipment of the four puppet army divisions, including tanks, cars, cannons, etc., were seized by our army..."

When I heard that the four puppet army divisions were subjected to a devastating blow, I breathed a sigh of relief. At least I knew that the sacrifices of the soldiers were valuable. In modern information, I knew that the total number of these four puppet army divisions was nearly 50,000, and these four divisions were also several main divisions of the puppet army. Their last battle on the Korean battlefield, that is, the Battle of Jincheng, was completely wiped out by our army, and later called "the eternal pain in the hearts of the Koreans."

In fact, it doesn’t matter how much equipment our army seized in this battle. The most important thing is to annihilate the living forces of the four divisions of the puppet army, which made the Lee Seung-wan group lose the capital to "work alone" and lead to negotiations. Now, since our army has achieved the expected results, the subsequent negotiations, reaching an agreement and final truce will probably not be far away!

The sacrifice of the warriors is worth it, because there is a heavy stroke written in their blood on the negotiated agreement and the banner of peace.

"By the way, Master Pang has come to see you several times!" Jin Qiulian continued: "He seems to be very concerned about your injury, as if there is something urgent, and keeps asking the doctor when you will recover..."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" As I said that, I immediately lifted the quilt and sat up.

"Where are you going?" Jin Qiulian looked at me in confusion.

"Let's go find Commander Pang!" I replied, grabbing a pair of shoes in front of the bed and putting them on my feet.

"Puchi..." Jin Qiulian laughed out loud when she heard me: "Where do you think you are? Are you still on the front line?"

"Oh? Where?" After Jin Qiulian said this, I realized that something seemed wrong, because I hadn't heard gunshots and cannons for a long time.

"Silly, this is Pyongyang, and it's at least ten hours away from the front line!" Jin Qiulian stuffed a spoonful of rice into my mouth and said with a smile: "You don't know how much face you are. The Volunteer Army will arrange the tank escort for you, and the People's Army can arrange the best hospital and the best doctor... It's just that skin trauma, it's just that there's a little blood flowing a little, it's okay to have a few days of blood rebate. Is this a good thing?"

However, although Jin Qiulian said this, I saw pride in her face. Every woman is proud of her man's achievements. Although I am not her man, this may not be considered an achievement for me...

"Then... did Commander Pang say why?" I sat back on the hospital bed with some disappointment because I understood that it was almost impossible to rush to the front line overnight to find Commander Pang under such circumstances.

Jin Qiulian shook her head: "He only asked you to recover from your injuries. Once the injuries are healed, you will go back to the division headquarters to report immediately!"

"Yeah!" I nodded and frowned. I secretly felt that it was definitely not a trivial matter for Commander Pang to look for me so anxiously. Otherwise, I had just left the battlefield and was a little injured. Although it was not serious, at least I should have let me recuperate for a while!

What could it be? What else can I do now? I just wait to sign at the negotiating table and then get a truce, right? Now I seem to just wait on this hospital bed to return home.

"Captain Cui..." Jin Qiulian suddenly sighed and said, "After the war, I'm going to return to China! Can I see you again?"

"Um!" I almost choked when Jin Qiulian asked this. Why didn't I think of this problem? I just wanted to end this damn war soon, but I didn't expect that once this battle was over, Jin Qiulian and I might never see each other!

"I... don't know!" This is not the truth. Usually when the truth is difficult to accept, I will use the three words "not know" to perfunctory.

Jin Qiulian's slightly pale face barely showed a smile, she glanced at me resentfully, and said something that made me feel heartbroken: "Sometimes, I really hope that we can die together on the position and not come down!"

At this moment, I suddenly understood what she said before. She was promoting Lin Xue and me.

Of course, this is not her character. I believe that if I could stay in North Korea, Jin Qiulian would not be able to fight with Lin Xue in a half-step. But I can’t. Jin Qiulian understands me, and she knows that I will never give up her motherland for her, so... she had no choice but to withdraw.

At the same time, I also knew that I was wrong about Lin Xue. I just thought Lin Xue was not by my side to take care of me because I was worried that others would gossip. But now, I vaguely felt that Lin Xue and Jin Qiulian had reached a tacit understanding, just like having a heart-to-heart relationship on the battlefield - Lin Xue also knew that I didn’t spend much time with Jin Qiulian, so I left this precious time to Jin Qiulian; but Jin Qiulian made a decision and handed me completely to Lin Xue on the day I returned to China...

I don’t know if they are what I thought, but I guess the facts are not too far from ten. I don’t know if I should feel happy or helpless. To be happy, to get their love at the same time, no matter which man is, I will feel happy. To be helpless, I still cannot repay the feelings they gave me in full. Especially Jin Qiulian, I feel that I owe her a lot.

"Actually..." Looking at Jin Qiulian's helpless look, my head heated up and sighed and comforted her: "Maybe neither of you will have any results..."

"Why?" Before I could finish speaking, Jin Qiulian looked at me in surprise and asked, "You mean you don't like us either? Are the words you said on the position false?"

After thinking about it, Jin Qiulian laughed bitterly again: "I understand. You think we are all going to die, so what you said on the position is lying to us, right? We are really stupid..."

"No, no...I didn't mean that!"

I regretted it as soon as I said that. Men are so stupid sometimes. My original intention was to tell her that we cannot have children together without our country's helplessness. And I cannot be with Lin Xue for the same reason, so that she will not have any regrets or helplessness, right? Unexpectedly, Yu Hei...

"Why? What do you mean?"

"This... you won't believe it even if I said it!" I was a little overwhelmed.

"How come you didn't say it, I wouldn't believe it?" Jin Qiulian chased her hard: "If you have anything, just say it clearly, so that I can't let this heart be ruined!"

"Don't ask..." I became a little impatient.

"No! You must say it!" Jin Qiulian continued to ask without giving in: "I don't care whether you are the leader or not. You must give us an explanation, not just me, but Lin Xue! Why are you lying to us like this?"

"I didn't lie to you!" I was a little annoyed.

"Why didn't lie to us? You just said that there would be no result from both of us!"

"That's because I'm sixty years later!" I hugged Jin Qiulian's shoulder and shouted at her: "Can you believe it? I'm sixty years older than you!"

"What? What did you say?" Jin Qiulian's head couldn't turn around and she looked at me with a confused look on her face.

"I don't believe it, right?" Since I had already said it, I just shook it to her and understood: "Don't you think I can know a lot of things in advance? For example, when will I fight, where will I fight, including the enemy's march route, troops, etc., I know everything! Because these things have happened to me, and they are all written on Piao Tianyi, but if I want to tell Jin Qiulian about computers and Internet, I'm afraid she will faint on the spot...

"What are you talking about?" Jin Qiulian looked at me blankly for a while, looked at me in disbelief and said, "Even if...even if what you said is true, what does it have to do with us?"

I smiled helplessly and replied, "I am not a person at this time. If I marry one of you and have children, he will be sixty years old in sixty years, but I am only twenty-three years old. What should I call him? Son? Or grandpa?"

This idea comes from a science fiction film I watched in modern times. I forgot the title of the film, and it also travels through time and space. I face the protagonist who is about to return to the past with a warning: Don’t touch any woman, otherwise your son will become his grandfather…

Jin Qiulian touched my forehead and made sure I didn’t have a fever. She smiled bitterly and replied coldly: “Actually, there is no need for you to find such an excuse. Don’t worry, Jin Qiulian will never pester you again in the future!”

As he said that, he turned around and walked out of the room without looking back and took the door with him.
