Chapter 186: Field Broadcast

Chapter 186: Field Broadcast

When we hurried back to the village in a jeep, we had no choice but to find that his elder brother was still arguing with Aunt Li, and he even started to fight for things. The villagers might have been used to these things for a long time, so they were not surprised and didn't even have the interest to watch. We hurriedly handed the money to Zhang Yue's elder brother, but unexpectedly it caused a new round of competition between the mother and the son... We had to run out of the village as if we were running away.

Actually, I didn’t blame them. Just as Xiao Wang said, there are all kinds of people in this world, especially when living conditions are extremely difficult, it is even more surprising that some selfish people will appear. I think Zhang Yue’s family should be in this situation!

Another sentence Xiao Wang said was also correct, that is, not everyone is as unhuman as Brother Zhang Yue. The family members we visited later were very humane, and some of them were even more indifferent because they missed their sacrificed relatives, which made me and my hometown feel very sad.

After an elderly couple learned about our identities, they only asked one question: "Have our son made meritorious service?"

I replied: "It's up!"

In fact, they did not establish themselves. Their only son died on the landmines of the Vietnamese Japanese shortly after leaving the country.

After hearing my answer, the two old men smiled with great relief, with tears in their eyes, and their smiles bitterly... Their wrinkles and their trembling smiles with excitement were deeply imprinted in my mind, and I think I will never forget them in my life.

What I remember most was the scene of seeing Xu Yongjian’s family...

It was the next morning. Because we were worried that we could not go back to the base before the holiday ended, we didn’t rest at night. The three of us took turns to take a break and drove towards our destination. Needless to say, the driver Xiao Wang, my hometown and I learned to drive during training in the special reconnaissance brigade. However, because of my shortcomings of road blindness, we always had to wake up the hometown people from our sleep at the intersection. I think if it weren’t for my superiors of my hometown people, he would definitely be anxious with me with his temper...

After many twists and turns, when it was just dawn the next morning, we successfully found Xu Yongjian's home.

Like most soldiers, Xu Yongjian's family was not well-off, which can be seen from the fact that his family had only a wooden house of more than ten square meters and a simple kitchen. His wooden house was so small that farm tools like hoes and iron plows could only be thrown outside the house.

When the villagers took us to this cabin, I felt heavy and didn't know what it felt. The people in my hometown were similar to me. The reason was very simple. Xu Yongjian was not only our comrade-in-arms, but also his brothers, but also protected our retreat benefactor at the last critical moment.

Whenever I think of him, I will think of the words he shouted to us at the last moment: "Comrades! Go home for us..."

Now, at this moment, we are indeed going home for him, but unfortunately, we can do very little!

My hometown and I hesitated in front of the door for a long time. After each of us had prepared our military uniforms and equipment, we gently knocked on the wooden door. The one who opened the door was a young and beautiful woman, with a sleeping child tied behind her with a wide cloth belt. We can see the hardships of her life from her messy hair and her face full of fatigue.

"You are..." The woman looked at us in confusion.

"sister in law!"

From the villagers, we know that she is Xu Yongjian's wife, and we also know that he has a son who is less than two months old...

"We are Xu Yongjian's comrades!" I paused and continued, "We... are our comrades on our behalf to see you!"

"Um!" The woman's eyes turned red when she heard this. After losing her mind for a while, she greeted us at a loss and said at a loss: "Comrade, please come in quickly! Come into the house and sit down... I, I will pour you a glass of water..."

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy!" We dared not wait for our sister-in-law to greet us like guests, and hurriedly took the stool in her hand to arrange it for her.

The hometown man took the chicken, duck, fish and meat into the kitchen without saying a word, and took out fifty dollars and handed it on: "Sister-in-law, this is all the wishes of his comrades. If you have any difficulties, just ask them. We will definitely help you do what we can!"

"This... how can you be so embarrassed!" My sister-in-law seemed very reserved, and she refused like a guest: "Look at you, everyone is going to the battlefield to fight, how can you even send something!"

"Sister-in-law! Just accept it!" Xiao Wang looked at the child on her back and persuaded: "Even if you don't need it, the child needs it..."

My sister-in-law's eyes turned red, she nodded silently and then stopped. Her embarrassed look only made us feel sore in her heart.

After a few people were busy for a while, the people from the hometown hesitated for a while before they mustered up the courage to hand over the letter left by Xu Yongjian.

My sister-in-law took the letter with her trembling hands, and when she saw the blood on the envelope, she fell down. After reading the letter, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry. All of us were at a loss and didn't know what to do. We soldiers can lively on the battlefield, but we were helpless in the face of this situation...

After a long time, my sister-in-law gradually calmed down and asked, "Comrade...I, I have a request..."

"Sister-in-law! Just say it!" I immediately replied, "If you have any requirements, we will definitely help you!"

For some reason, when I heard that my sister-in-law had requests from us, I felt a little relieved.

My sister-in-law wiped her tears and said, "I want to know how the child's father died. When I asked the government people, they couldn't explain it clearly, so she said that the child's father was a hero! I want to know what the heroic method his father was..."

After pausing, she looked at the child who was still sleeping behind her and continued, "When she was alive, the baby didn't know him yet, and she had never called her father. The baby is his flesh and blood. I can't let him grow up and I don't know what kind of person his father is. Comrade... tell me about his father's affairs, and when the baby grows up, I can tell him..."

This requirement is not too much, not only too much, but also worthy. So after looking at the people in my hometown, I slowly said: "Company Commander Xu performed very well on the battlefield. He voluntarily stayed for the cover mission for the safe retreat of the troops..."

This is our longest visit, because Xu Yongjian can say many things. I and my hometown and I kept talking until noon that day, and at the same time, we also showed our hard battlefield life in front of my sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law cried while listening. When she said the last cry of Xu Yongjian, she could no longer help but hugged the child and cried loudly...

We secretly retreated from the house with tears in our eyes. When I got on the jeep again, I felt as if I had relieved my thoughts. I looked up at the Qingtian in the distance and silently said in my heart: Company Commander Xu, don’t worry about my sister-in-law’s life!

"The last one is left!" Xiao Wang twitched his nose and complained to me: "Battery Commander, there is such a task in the future, so just let me go! We have shed more tears in the past two days than in a year..."

"You mean... don't call you next time, right?" I asked back.

"Where!" Xiao Wang stepped on the accelerator and replied: "Can you call me? If you need it, please ask me and be on call!"

What Xiao Wang said seemed to be inconsistent, but I could understand it because I also had this complex mentality at this time. It was unavoidable to see their families for the sacrificed soldiers. However, we were afraid of recalling the painful and bitter past events over and over again...

"Now report a notification! Now report a notification..."

While the jeep was driving towards the last destination, the wild-land radio on the roadside suddenly started to shout. The wild-land radio is a feature of this era. No matter how remote the place is, it will always be placed. When you have nothing to do, you can play music to report the time. When you have something to do, you can notify someone at the fastest speed. Speaking of which, the phone has not been installed in this era, so the wild-land radio has become the most convenient communication tool.

"Please Comrade Wang Qiming from Unit 503 to return to the army to report quickly, and ask Comrade Wang Qiming from Unit 503 to report quickly..."

With a "squeak!", Xiao Wang stepped on the brakes suddenly, and the inertia of the jeep's emergency stop almost turned us over.

"What's wrong?" The people from the hometown asked in confusion.

"Wang Qiming is me!" Xiao Wang turned his head and replied, "I am from the 503rd Army..."

"Quick! Radio!" After reacting, my hometown and I hurriedly took out the radio station wrapped in tarp and contacted the base.

It was obvious that this was an emergency call from the base to us, but because my identity and the people in my hometown were quite special, and the radio was not in time for regular contact, the base then found a way to contact us using wild radio.

I looked at the time and frowned. What made the base so anxious to find us? At this time, it was not far from the agreed time for the radio to start up, and the base also had to use wild radio to notify us by the risk of being discovered by the enemy.

My hometown people were busy in front of the radio station for a while and then handed me a message. I saw a few simple words written on it: "Cancel the holiday, come back quickly!"

Without thinking too much, we jumped into the jeep and drove towards the base.

"Battery Commander!" Xiao Wang said while turning the steering wheel: "Don't worry, go and perform the mission! Leave the remaining comrade's family to me!"
