Chapter 164 Return to China
First of all, I would like to thank all the book friends for their support. I had a few drinks with my friends today and came back later. I didn’t want to write it and wanted to sleep. After reading the book review, I felt sorry for you if I was not realistic... Haha... so I wrote it until now.
I just complained a few times yesterday. Please forgive me if I offend some book friends. Thank you again!
************************************************************
"Damn it! I'm fighting with you..." Li Zhifu picked up the submachine gun in his hand and was about to sweep towards the team of black shadows in front of him, but I was forced to suppress it in a hurry.
"Battery Commander..." Li Zhifu couldn't help but look at me in confusion.
I didn't answer, and I just felt a little strange. Although I don't know how to speak Vietnamese, I am a person who is proficient in two foreign languages. So when I heard the people in front of me calling "Norkong Songye" and "Zheng-faithful and magnanimous". Although they spoke in Vietnamese, their accent was not authentic.
Could it be that they are...
Thinking of this, I shouted at the group of darkness in front of me: "Comrades! Are you the People's Liberation Army?"
"You are not Vietnamese?" The black shadow on the opposite side made me ecstatic, and the soldiers were all stunned. The air around seemed to have suddenly condensed.
Suddenly the soldiers all cheered:
"It's successful! We're back!"
"We're back, we're back..."
"This is China, we are back!"
...
The soldiers performed differently. Some fainted on the ground when they learned that the other party was our own army, some laughed to the sky, and some lie on the ground and cried bitterly. The PLA soldiers on the opposite side also determined that we were indeed our own people, so they dared not be negligent. They rushed up and brought us to their positions.
Until this time, some people couldn't believe that all this was true, and asked the soldiers who were supporting them over and over again: "We have really returned to the motherland? Is this really China? Are you the People's Liberation Army?" Some soldiers fainted after receiving a positive answer...
"Comrade! Thank you for your hard work!"
"Hurry! Come and get water, and there is still food!"
"Sanitation officer! Hurry up... call all the health officers!"
...
As soon as we were taken into our camp, many PLA soldiers surrounded us and handed us water and food. We had been half-hungry and half-full in the jungle for several days. At this time, we could not care about the appearance, and let the sanitary officers wash and pack us. They all grabbed the food like beggars and swallowed it.
"Comrade!" After we ate for a while, a person who looked like a cadre came forward and asked, "Which unit are you from? Who are the leaders?"
"I am!" I was stuffed with compressed biscuits, swallowed it hard, and after a few more sips of water, I replied vaguely: "We are the unit of the 639th Regiment, and I am Cui Wei, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion!"
After I said this, everyone present was stunned. All the People's Liberation Army didn't say anything, and they all gave me strange eyes with half open mouths.
"What's wrong?" I asked in confusion.
After a long time, the cadre looked at me in disbelief and said, "Are you Cui Wei? Is it really Cui Wei? From the 639th Regiment?"
"Yes!" I nodded, not understanding what he was doing!
"All of them are your subordinates?" The cadre asked again: "You are the troops that cover the retreat of the 608th Regiment?"
"Yeah!" I responded vaguely, and stuffed biscuits into my mouth.
By the way, I was so angry that I wanted to vomit after eating this thing a few days ago. Now, I feel that it is so fragrant that I can't eat enough.
"Okay!" The PLA soldiers suddenly burst out with cheers, which scared our survivors.
Then I heard the soldiers hugging us and jumping, shouting while jumping: "Great, I'm finally waiting for you!"
"The comrades from Heroes Second Camp are back alive!"
...
"Comrade!" The cadre held my hand excitedly and said, "Comrade Cui Wei! Our entire army knows the deeds of your Heroes Second Battalion, and the entire front is waiting for you to come back! Welcome back to the motherland! Comrades, welcome you back, you are suffering..."
As he was talking, the cadre actually burst into tears. The other PLA soldiers were so excited that they burst into tears, which made us feel a little at a loss.
"Quick..." After a while, the cadre turned around and ordered the correspondent soldier behind him: "Report the news of the Heroes' Second Battalion returning to China to his superiors... Also, arrange a car immediately. It is not safe here. I will send the comrades from the Second Battalion back to the motherland and report good news to the motherland! And... I will send one... Isn't it right, send two platoons to escort!"
"Yes! Yes..." After the correspondent first-time cadre finished speaking, he ran away like a monkey and shouted to both sides: "Heroes Second Battalion is back, Captain Cui returns to his country safe..."
"Heroes Second Battalion is back?"
"Really or false? Is Captain Cui back?"
After a while, teams of People's Liberation Army soldiers poured out from the darkness and surrounded them. If the cadre had not drunk them back, they would have surrounded our troops.
I couldn't help but look at Li Zhifu and others, but I didn't expect that I would have this title in the army.
"Captain Cui!" The cadre held my hand and said, "This is still the front line, it's not very safe, look..."
"See your arrangement!" I replied.
I don’t want to show off any more. Of course, at this time, I was already exhausted and had no strength to show off at all. I just wanted to find a place to rest with peace of mind.
"Okay!" The cadre respectfully led the way forward: "I'll send you there, I've arranged a car for you!"
Later I found out that this cadre who received ours was a regiment commander. He happened to be inspecting the front line. He heard that some participating troops returned to China and then came up to take a look.
At that time, I didn't think anything was there, because although I knew he was a cadre, the cadre service in the entire army was the same, so I didn't expect that he was a regiment commander. Later, I remembered that a regiment commander was so respectful to me and the battalion commander, which really made me ashamed.
Led by cadres and several guards, I don’t know how many PLA soldiers rushed to come up and shake hands with us along the way, saying "Thank you for your hard work in comrades!", "Welcome back!"... and other words, which made the soldiers and I sigh from the bottom of our hearts again: It’s great to return to the motherland!
After turning a few turns and walking out of the mountain road, there were already seven or eight Jiefang cars waiting there. A total of 59 people in our battalion took four cars. The battlefield sanitation officers came up with us, who were ordered to check our physical condition along the way.
With the roar of the car motor, the soldiers and I couldn't help but turn our eyes to the darkness in the south... When we were still there, we didn't know how much we wanted to leave it, but now when we really wanted to stay away, we felt an indescribable feeling in our hearts.
I think this may be because there are too many pains and hardships, too many tears and sweat, and even the blood and life of our comrades!
The moods of sadness and joy were rising one after another, with charges, shouts of killing, and rumbling cannons still ringing in my ears. We have walked to the gate of hell for a while, but we finally came back alive!
At the moment of leaving, I suddenly recalled a lot, thinking of Yang Songjian, Xu Yongjian, Ruan Wenqin, and many other soldiers who died there. We were back alive, but they have been left in that land full of nightmares forever...
As the car drove farther and farther away, the land gradually disappeared from our sight, and the soldiers and I took back our gaze.
At this time, a stinging pain came from under my feet. When I saw it, I found that the sanitary was shining my bloody feet with a flashlight. I don’t know when the Liberation Shoe with a puncture pad on my left foot had fallen off. I didn’t notice it all the way... I felt sorry for this foot, with scars cut by gravel or shrapnel everywhere.
The sanitary was shining the flashlight while carefully using tweezers to remove the gravel embedded in the meat. It was not easy to do this in a shaking car, but the sanitary was very skillful.
"I've been a sanitary for many years!" I asked.
The health worker looked up and smiled, saying, "It's not long, two years!"
"What's the name?"
"Chen Junyu!" The health officer said and pulled it hard, which made me gasp in pain.
"I said..." The person sitting next to him asked, "What's going on in our army? When did he become the second battalion of Heroes?"
"Don't you know yet?" The health officer replied: "When the soldiers of the 608th Regiment came back, they reported the battle to their superiors. The whole army knew that you guided the 608th Regiment to retreat and finally covered the 608th Regiment's return regardless of their own safety. The soldiers of the 608th Regiment were still waiting for you on the border for two days! Later, everyone thought you had sacrificed, so they withdrew according to the order!"
"Well! All the soldiers of the 608th Regiment have been withdrawn!" I asked.
"Retreat!" The health officer replied: "Except for combat reduction and some people who were separated on the road, most of them have returned. The whole army said that if you weren't there, the 608th Regiment would have let the Vietnamese make dumplings for you!"
I thought to myself that this dumpling is not enough, it is just more than 500 people lost and more than 200 people captured. But now I finally brought them back safely, and it is not in vain that I have suffered so much and sacrificed so many brothers!
