Chapter 133 Return to the camp

Chapter 133 Return to the camp

Dozens of 59-inch tanks drove to the outside of the bank building one after another, forming a circle, building a steel line of defense, and the gun barrels and anti-aircraft machine guns were nervously facing the bank building. Then, teams of People's Liberation Army soldiers built various weapons based on the tanks.

With a "squeak", a jeep drove in soon. A familiar figure jumped out of the car, with only two guards, and raised his horn and shouted at the bank building: "Captain Cui... I am Staff Officer Li, are you okay?"

I know why Staff Li and the others did this, and they couldn't guarantee that the bank building was still in our hands. It was obvious that if the bank building had fallen into the enemy by this time, then these tanks and troops would soon launch a charge.

So I flashed out from the window and said, "Chief Staff Li, it's us! The bank building is still in our hands!"

Chief Li felt relieved as soon as he saw me and immediately shouted to the troops behind him: "Put down the gun... Medical team!"

With Chief Li's order, the soldiers became busy, and the tanks were busy turning the guns and gun barrels. The soldiers ran to the inside to change the defense, while the health officer ran towards us in groups with first aid kits on his waist.

I pushed my hands on the window and jumped out. Staff Li hurriedly came up and held my hand and said, "Comrade Cui Wei! Thank you for your hard work, how are the casualties of the soldiers?"

"It's okay!" I replied.

Our casualties were indeed not big. I just took advantage of the artillery to count the situation. There were only seven soldiers who died, and the five seriously injured were included in the two who went to Bolang San Middle School. There were only fourteen.

For such a fierce battle, such casualties can be considered very small, thanks to the cover provided by the fortress of the bank building. But what has always made me feel choked up is that the sacrifice included Yang Songjian...

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers did not cheer as usual when they saw our reinforcements coming. I think this is also the reason why Staff Li and others suspected that the bank building had fallen into the hands of the Vietnamese army.

With a "squeak!", another jeep stopped in front of me. A person got off the jeep and I couldn't help but stunned.

"Captain Chu! Why are you here..." Staff Li hurriedly ran up and said softly.

We followed us, but neither of us dared to salute him or shout loudly. This is common sense on the battlefield, and no one can guarantee whether there are Vietnamese snipers staring at us in the dark, so any experienced veteran knows that we cannot salute our superiors on the battlefield, especially now we are still a commander!

A commander came to the front line of the battlefield in person... This is rare even on the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, although the battle had ended at this time.

The soldiers who were defending around obviously realized that it was their commander who was here at this time. Several soldiers looked back without believing it. When they found out that they were really the commander, they immediately started to be very energetic and raised their guns to defend.

"Comrade Cui Wei!" Commander Chu held my hand as soon as he came up and said, "It's good if you know you're fine, it's good if you're fine! Comrades are all okay!"

"It's okay!" I replied excitedly: "We only have fourteen casualties!"

"Well! Good fight!" Commander Chu clenched his hands tightly and said, "I will report to you when I go back. You are all good! It's the pride of our People's Liberation Army!"

As he said that, he shook hands with several soldiers behind me one after another, and kept saying, "Thank you for your hard work, comrades." The soldiers were so excited that they kept answering, "It should be, it should be!"

"Captain..." Staff Li looked around and said with some concern: "You'd better go back first! It's better to have us here, I'll deal with it..."

"The soldiers are not afraid of dying here, what am I afraid of?" Chief Chu replied: "The soldiers are also human beings, I am also human beings, they are raised by their parents in life. What else can I dare not come?"

As he said that, he turned around and patted my shoulder and smiled, "Comrade Cui Wei! Do you know how many Japanese devils you have defeated? A whole group of people... One group defeated one group in a row, which is amazing!"

"Is there so many regiments?" Although I knew that there were quite a few Vietnamese soldiers besieging us, I didn't expect there would be a regiment.

"There is indeed a regiment!" Chief of Staff Li nodded and said, "The Vietnamese army has invested all the reserves in your direction, and has also used all the surviving tanks and artillery, including two T62 tanks that have been blocking our offensive direction. Comrade Cui Wei, in this battle, you not only protected the poisonous gas bombs and crushed the conspiracy of the Vietnamese Japanese, but also greatly restrained the elite of the Vietnamese army, so that we can smoothly break through the Vietnamese defense line and achieve a comprehensive victory!"

"I'll talk about other things later!" Chief Chu interrupted: "The most important thing now is to go back and have a good rest and take care of the wounds! Chief Li..."

"arrive!"

"Have the car that arranged for Battalion Commander Cui and his friends to go back has been sent?" Commander Chu asked.

"Report to the commander!" Staff Li tried to lower his voice and replied: "My consideration is this. The remaining enemies have not been eliminated yet. If the car is sent, the target is too big, so I think... it is better to walk! If the wounded are inconvenient to move, there will be a stretcher..."

"It makes sense! It's still the thoughtfulness of Staff Li!" Commander Chu nodded, then turned to me and said, "Comrade Cui Wei, I know you want to walk with the soldiers, so I won't invite you to take my car. Let's go back and see you again!"

"Yes!" I replied.

Commander Chu was right. At this time, I really couldn't leave the soldiers and go back alone by car.

"Captain Cui!" After Commander Chu left, Staff Li asked: "Are those poisonous gas bombs okay?"

"fine!"

While answering Staff Li, I suddenly realized that Commander Chu had never asked about the poison gas bomb from beginning to end. He seemed to be very confident in me. When I saw it, I knew that the poison gas bomb was definitely safe, so I didn't even ask. This might be the extraordinary thing of Commander Chu!

After pointing out the location of the poison gas bomb for Staff Li and telling the location of the dozen poison gas bombs we buried in another place, we walked back under the escort of the health officer and a battalion of the People's Liberation Army.

We have become protected objects... I originally suggested that Staff Li let us go back by ourselves and just send a few people to lead the way, but Staff Li firmly disagrees. In his words, we have made great contributions on the battlefield, and it is not easy to survive. He must not let us have any more problems. Otherwise, even if he is willing to forgive himself, Commander Wang, Commander Chu, and the thousands of People's Liberation Army troops fighting in Lang Son, they will not forgive him.

Seeing that Staff Lee said so seriously, I will no longer refuse. Anyway, the Vietnamese army in Lang Son has collapsed on the entire line, and our army cannot use so many soldiers on the front line, so it will be useless if we don’t need it!

The person who escorted me was a battalion commander. Staff General Li simply introduced him to me that his name was Zhang Yongcai. If there was anything, he would ask him to arrange it and urge us to go down.

I can also feel Chief Li's mood. Even Chief Chu came up to comfort our team without caring about danger. If there is something wrong with him, he really can't afford it, so if we can get faster, we won't wait any longer.

"Captain Cui!"

While walking back, I boredly shared the cigarettes with the soldiers and lit them. Unexpectedly, Battalion Commander Zhang came up at this time. He said to me in a little embarrassed manner: "Can you... let the soldiers cooperate and don't smoke!"

"Well!" Only then did I realize that it was not a pleasant thing to be protected, so I immediately ordered the soldiers to extinguish the cigarette.

Captain Zhang kept thanking me, as if he was just a small matter to sell him a huge favor.

Actually, to be honest, I am a battalion commander and he is also a battalion commander. There is actually no such thing as the two of us who are afraid of whom and who order whom. But now it seems that Battalion Commander Zhang obviously consciously regards me as his superior...

This may be the benefit of our victory! Later I found out that it was not just Battalion Commander Zhang. When we walked back all the way, every time we passed by a place, the People's Liberation Army in that place was as martial law as if facing a great enemy, and some troops even sent tank troops to escort... We were really a little amused and crying.

The way back is different from when we came. When we crossed the Qiqiong River, we were not the Qiqiong River Bridge we had fought, but a steel-building bridge. From Battalion Commander Zhang, I knew that this was the railway bridge that went to Tongdeng through Lang Son and then led to Hanoi. Our army also had a fierce battle with the Vietnamese army here. The Vietnamese army once wanted to blow up this bridge to prevent our army's train from moving south, but they were all stopped by our cannons and failed.

All of this can be seen from the bridge head's radius of more than a thousand meters south, with no buildings, and only layers of overlapping craters. This made me feel a little proud. Once upon a time, our army had the only possibility of getting the enemy's artillery fire on the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, but now... our army can also use artillery fire to prevent the enemy.

After crossing the railway tracks and building a bridge, I arrived at Lang Sang South District. The number of soldiers and migrant workers along the road gradually increased. When it came here, Battalion Commander Zhang and his soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But what surprised me was... the soldiers and migrant workers along the way looked at us with a very strange look.

"Battery Commander!" Al Ziri joked at me, "Look at the look of the other people looking at us, they think we are prisoners!"

"Oh!" After listening to Al Ziri's words, I realized that we are all wearing Vietnamese uniforms and are trapped in the middle by Battalion Commander Zhang's troops. Not to mention... This looks like a team of prisoners being taken back. There is only one thing that is, we are still carrying guns on our backs.

So I couldn't help but smile bitterly and ordered: "Comrades! Take off the hat of the Japanese devils! Otherwise, there will be rotten eggs flying towards us later!"

With a coaxing sound, the soldiers couldn't help laughing at themselves, and then there was a clanging sound on the ground, and the Vietnamese army's straw hat-shaped helmets were thrown all over the floor.

"Don't worry!" Battalion Commander Zhang leaned down and said, "We and the troops are so angry that some migrant workers who have just arrived may not know the situation. But even if they don't know the situation, they will not throw things at you. There are three major disciplines and eight points of attention, right?"

After Battalion Commander Zhang said this, the soldiers couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Battalion Commander Zhang is probably a new soldier who has not long been on the battlefield. He doesn't know yet that he has long been thrown away by us veterans.

"Captain Cui! Is it Captain Cui?" After walking forward for more than ten minutes, a team suddenly came to the darkness of the street facing him. The person who led the lead was the hometown. When he looked behind him, who else could there be if he was not the warrior of the Second Battalion?

The soldiers couldn't help but cheer and rushed over Battalion Commander Zhang's troops. The scene of hugging and shook hands was in chaos.

Before I could walk a few steps forward, there was a person in front of me. Then I heard Liu Yun's cry... I was shocked and thought to myself when did this girl become so bold? It was like this in front of so many people. As a modern person, I have nothing to do, but in this era...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look around in horror. Ariel's eyes were looking at us with a smile. The people from the hometown and other soldiers turned around and pretended not to see it... but the expression on his face was even more embarrassing than seeing it.

So I slowly pushed Liu Yun away and whispered to her, "So many here, why are you..."

"I don't care!" Liu Yun replied with red and swollen eyes: "Anyway, I've been embarrassed in front of others, so I won't tell me if anyone asks you to leave!"

"What?" Liu Yun's robbery made me a little confused.

"Captain Cui!" The hometown people came up and smiled bitterly and said to me, "After you left, I was in trouble. Comrade Liu Yun insisted that we pull you back and save you... and said with confidence, "It's good that Battalion Commander Cui is so kind to you. When the battalion commander is in trouble, you won't help any of them!" You said you are carrying out missions, can we act without orders? But Comrade Liu Yun is just unyielding and wants to save you with a gun several times!"

"This is not just!" Yichen continued to smile and said, "She wanted to ask for someone to find Commander Wang several times. If it weren't for me, I would have to be locked up in jail! Commander Wang is commanding the war. If everyone goes to ask for someone from him, it would be great!"

"Nonsense!" Listening to me, I couldn't help but scold Liu Yun: "What do you think war is for? Playing every family? Why is there no organizational discipline at all!"

At this time, Liu Yun didn't dare to speak. He had already blushed and hid behind Ariel's back. Ariel also understood what she meant, and smiled helplessly at us and took her into the crowd.

"Battery Commander!" The hometown man handed a cigarette and said, "Comrade Liu Yun's intention to you is to see no matter who you are. Don't let him down!"

"What are you saying?"

"Liu Yun is a good comrade!" said the hometown man: "Many people can't wait for it! What's more..."

I won’t say much about the next thing, but I just yelled a few times. In fact, even if the hometown doesn’t say it, I understand his thoughts. Liu Yun’s father is Commander Liu… With my military achievements and Liu Shunyi’s father-in-law, his future after returning to China can be said to be unlimited.

But for some reason, my heart became heavier and heavier. Liu Yun’s previous performances were nothing if they were in modern times, but in this era... they have actually become public.

It should be said that this is not a good thing for me. It is good to reject a girl in modern times. Although I did not refuse people in modern times, I also know that this is not a big deal in modern times. But it is hard to say in this era. If it is not publicly secretly, it is not much, but now the soldiers are all aware of it... If I refuse again, I don't know what chaos will happen.

At this time, I regretted not explaining it to Liu Yun before. If this continues, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to end.

"Battery Commander!" Looking at me in a dilemma, the hometown man asked, "Do you already have a wife?"

"No!" I shook my head.

"Where is there an object?" the hometown man asked again.

I couldn't help but be stunned. It took a long time to remember that people in this era call their girlfriends "opposites" and those who fall in love "good relationships"...

"No!" I still shook my head.

"Then why are you hesitating?" The hometown people couldn't help but ask strangely: "He is such a good comrade... do you think she is not worthy of you? The soldiers are envious of you! Are you not happy?"

As he said that, he invited me to my shoulder and said, "Listen to me, that's right! If you have any questions, let's openly say that if you have any embarrassment, please ask me to tell me. I'll be a matchmaker for you! Who made you my battalion commander..."

He couldn't help but smile bitterly as he listened to the words of his hometown. It seemed that this matter was really not good. But to be honest, Liu Yun's conditions are really good, he is beautiful and virtuous, and has a good family background. It would be really good if he could marry her as his wife...

Hi! What am I thinking about? When I think of Liu Yun’s father being Liu Shunyi, I can’t accept it.

I suddenly followed the people from my hometown back to the station. When the left-behind soldiers saw us coming back safely, they would naturally cheer again.

Battalion Commander Zhang and his troops did not leave, and they were stationed near us. In their words, if we had one day with their 43rd Army, they had to be responsible for our safety, otherwise they would be disobeying the orders of superiors. This was originally the territory of the 43rd Army, so of course I had no reason to drive them away, so I had to follow them.

I originally planned to talk to Liu Yun, but the fatigue of continuous combat made me not want to move anymore. As soon as I lay on the bed, I fell asleep in a drowsy way...
