When we walked out of the division headquarters, everyone was in a heavy mood. The commanders of each regiment returned to their positions and separated, and they all just kept their heads and walked.

"Captain Pang!" When I almost arrived at the regiment headquarters, I felt embarrassed to follow Captain Pang back to the regiment headquarters for rest. So I said to Captain Pang, who was walking while frowning at the thought of things: "I have recovered almost too, and I want to go back and see my troops!"

"Well!" Captain Pang came out of his thoughts after I said this, nodded to me and said, "It's time to see them, let them hurry up and rest. Maybe, maybe the battle is not over yet!"

"Yes!" I responded and walked towards the position.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!" After a few steps, Commander Pang shouted to me behind his back: "I'll say hello to my comrades. They fought bravely and resolutely, and it is the pride of our volunteer soldiers!"

"Yes!" When I stepped onto the position again, I couldn't help feeling sad - the country was poor, and there was nothing to compensate or reward for the volunteer soldiers fighting on the front line of life and death.

In modern information, I know that in modern times, many veteran volunteer soldiers lived a life of poor men. Tank bombing heroes slept in pigpens. The injured and sick soldiers could not afford medical expenses, and disabled veterans could not afford wheelchairs for transportation...

Their lives and lives were exchanged for them on the battlefield, perhaps only Captain Pang said, but it was just this sentence that the soldiers were satisfied.

From the perspective of my modern people, sometimes I really can't understand what they think, and at the same time they can't understand us modern people.

In modern times, I once read a report about an old volunteer soldier who sacrificed his life to save a woman who fell into the water. The woman was very grateful to him and asked the old man what he needed to pay. The old soldier didn't want anything, as long as you make the matter public like the media. In an instant, the public's finger pointed at the old soldier. The words hype, hypocrisy and other words were all piled on the old soldier. Even the rescued person questioned the old soldier's intention to save her. Later, when I found the old soldier, I heard his oral statement that when the woman fell into the water, many young and strong men stood by and watched, but asked him, the old man, to jump into the water to save people. The old soldier just wanted to use this incident to sound a wake-up call to the world, but was questioned and scolded...

When defending the country, volunteer soldiers need to pay their blood and lives. When they are old and can’t walk, they still need to save people or even save our thoughts. This can only be said to be a sadness in the present world!

Before I knew it, I arrived at the position and asked a few soldiers, and successfully found the soldiers resting in the second-line tunnel.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!"

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui!"

...

Seeing me coming up, the soldiers who were sitting and lying to rest stood up one after another.

"What's wrong? Why are you doing when you stand up?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but joke: "If I'm not wrong, I'll have only been asleep for a day and treat me as an outsider?"

"How can it be!" The soldiers laughed in a coaxing voice.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Cui sits here!" Hu Zi stood up carelessly to make a seat for me.

"Sit, sit..." I walked into the tunnel and sat down, and then I found that all the soldiers were wrapped in bandages, even Hu Zi was no exception. There was a fishy smell in the tunnel, like a shelter for a wounded soldier. Seeing this, I couldn't help feeling sad and couldn't speak for a while.

"Comrades, are all okay!" After a while, I squeezed out this sentence.

"good!"

"good!"

...

The soldiers' answers were heavy and powerful. I knew that even if they were called to the battlefield again, they would still raise their guns without hesitation.

"It's just Cui Zhenyou and the others..." Hu Zi said halfway.

"What's wrong with Choi Zhenyou and the others?" Although I knew what's wrong with them, I still asked with a glimmer of hope.

"The 273.1 high ground was not able to be defended." Hu Zi said heavily: "Choe Jung-woo, Park Jung-sun, and all the comrades stationed on the 273.1 high ground..."

The tunnel was immediately quiet and there was no sound at all, and even the chirping of crickets outside the tunnel could be heard.

"Captain Pang asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!" After a long time, I said slowly: "He said you are all good, you fight bravely and resolutely, you are the pride of the Volunteer Army! Choi Jung-woo, Park Chung-sun, Battalion Commander Lee, and comrades who died on the battlefield..."

No one responded, there was only a faint sob, and many soldiers were crying secretly. I don’t know who it was, nor do anyone want to know who it was.

The sunset shone the last ray of light outside the tunnel, and finally hid behind the mountain. The sky gradually darkened, adding to the soldiers' tragic, desolate, and a faint homesickness...

The next morning, we were awakened by the sound of footsteps and the faint sound of guns and cannons outside the tunnel. When I walked out of the tunnel, I saw teams of volunteer soldiers running by hurriedly with guns and ammunition boxes.

"What are they doing?" Hu Zi couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Is this going to retreat?"

"Not like it!" Ren Fengyou responded: "You have to throw away the wounded people even when you retreat. No one of the wounded soldiers is brought. They all retreat with guns and cannons. It seems like going to fight a war!"

"War?" Hu Zi couldn't understand even more: "But they are all heading north..."

Go north and fight!

Upon hearing this, I was stunned as if I was shocked, and I realized that the US military had completed the encirclement of the 180th Division, and these volunteer soldiers were sent out to defend the rear.

Thinking of this, I ran to the regiment headquarters without saying a word, and rushed to the regiment headquarters in a hurry. Just as I was about to call for a report, I saw that Commander Pang also walked out of the regiment headquarters in a hurry, and even the belt was buckled.

"You're here just right!" Captain Pang said as soon as he saw me, "The division headquarters is asking for a meeting, so you can come together, let's talk while walking!"

"Yes!" I responded, followed two steps behind and asked, "Are we surrounded by the enemy?"

"Yeah!" Commander Pang responded in a hurry: "Just just got the information, the 24th Division of the US actually took advantage of the night to hike through the torn defense line of the 179th Division. He penetrated twenty kilometers overnight, occupied the Fangxia Bridge area behind me, and completed the four-sided encirclement of our division!"

Damn it! I couldn't help but curse, this American would use this trick. Usually, Americans were either cars or tanks to move, and they never made any moves at night. Now they came out of normalcy and hiked into the rear of our army, and they even succeeded.

Then I thought, wasn’t the 24th Division of the US just let me blow up the Hongtian Highway and gave up the car and the tanks hiking? Unexpectedly, they have achieved the effect of a surprise attack now.

The two of them trotted all the way, and soon arrived at the division headquarters. Several regiment officials had gathered here. The smoke in the tunnel was burning and the atmosphere was very tense. Commander Zheng and Political Commissar Wu were walking around the ground anxiously. In a corner of the tunnel, the radio soldiers were wearing headphones and calling loudly.

After a while, everyone arrived. Commander Zheng walked to the side of the map and looked at it for a while. Then he raised his head and said to Wu Chengde: "Old Wu, please tell me the situation first!"

Wu Chengde nodded, walked to the map and gestured, saying, "This is the situation. Last night, the 24th American 24th had advanced eastward from the gap of the 179th Division along Xinpuri and Shicangli, and now he has occupied the Fangxia Bridge behind our division. Our division is already surrounded by enemies of five divisions. The military command ordered us to stick to the rescue. What do you think?"

"Teacher Commander, Political Commissar!" Upon hearing this, I no longer cared about whether I had the qualifications to speak, and said: "We don't have much ammunition anymore. Sticking to it is not a solution, and there are no reinforcements. When the ammunition and food are exhausted, what can we use to fight with the American devils' tanks and machine guns!"

"That's right!" Perhaps because the situation is urgent, everyone doesn't care whether I, a soldier, can speak. Someone quickly agreed: "From the battles over the past few days, the major casualties of our troops are not in the battle with the enemy's real swords and guns, but in the face of the enemy's fierce bombing and artillery attack. If we continue to fight passively, our troops will be completely damaged by the enemy's artillery fire. What's more, there is no ammunition to supplement, so how can we stick to the enemy's aid, we should break through..."

"From the current situation where there is no ammunition in the army and no reinforcements outside, it is very difficult to defend, and breaking through is the best strategy!" The regiment political commissar Pan Fang also put forward the suggestion of breaking through.

Some people even whispered: "It's time to break through, but now they are in a state of invincibility..."

"Teacher Commander, break through!" At this time, a thin cadre with a scar on his face stood up and said, "Let the comrades of the 539th Regiment of the 538th Regiment leave first, our regiment stays behind and stops the rear, and we still have the experience of blocking and attacking the aid of the regiment. We still have the experience of defending the 540th Regiment for 51 days when we fought in Linfen. This time, we could not complete the mission this time, so I, Zhou Guangpu, came to see you!"

Only then did I realize that he was Zhou Guangpu, the leader of the 540th Regiment. I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It is said that he was a powerful general of the 180th Division, but I didn't expect that he was so handsome.

But no matter how the leaders of each regiment or the political commissar put forward facts and reasoning, Commander Zheng just pretended that he hadn't seen it, did not speak or expressed his opinion, and looked at the map in front of him with his eyes blankly, and didn't know what he was thinking.

A cadre who stayed in front of the map looked at the elder Zheng and did not speak for a long time. He was so anxious that he stamped his feet. Just as he was about to speak, Commander Zheng took the lead and said coldly: "Comrade Wang Huaying, go and stay in front of the radio and see if there are new orders from the military headquarters!"

The tunnel immediately became quiet, and now everyone knows what Commander Zheng means.

But Captain Pang was just a fearless person. He stood up and said angrily: "Instead of sitting there waiting to die, it is better to rush out and die happily! When the bullets are exhausted, there is no chance to break through!"
