Chapter 11: Stop

"What's the point of doing! What are your behaviors? Typical personal heroism, serious left-leaning adventure. The person sitting in the car is our regiment commander. You drove with the regiment commander like this? You almost caused our entire army to suffer losses. Do you know? Our army has just been formed and is still in its infancy. Do you know if something happened just now, how much damage will be caused to our regiment, our division and even our army? It's simply nonsense!"

After a while, Liu Shunyi led the troops to chase after me anxiously. When he saw that I was fine, he was relieved. Then he grabbed the proud driver Xiao Wang and criticized him.

"Deputy Commander Liu!" Seeing Xiao Wang being criticized, I felt a little disgusted and couldn't help but walk forward and persuade, "This thing cannot be blamed entirely on Xiao Wang..."

"Captain Cui!" Liu Shunyi stood up in front of me and said with a serious expression: "When the superior makes a mistake, can we criticize and correct us as subordinates?"

"This...of course!" I replied helplessly.

There is no way, the habit of the Volunteer Army has been around since the Red Army era. Now I can’t even lose it.

"It's not the leader, it's me..." Xiao Wang seemed to want to take the wrong hand on himself, but Liu Shunyi glared hard and took the rest back.

"That's great!" Liu Shunyi said to me honestly: "Captain Cui, I think your behavior was wrong just now. As a leader of a regiment, you should always think that you are carrying heavy burdens and shoulder the hopes of our entire regiment, not the entire army or even the entire regiment. You cannot just show off your speed and ignore your life after a moment of breath. This is a very irresponsible manifestation..."

"Hmm, ummm, ummm, yes..." I nodded frequently.

What else can I say in the face of Deputy Commander Liu's criticism? In fact, I also felt that I was a little impulsive just now. This is not going to fight on the battlefield. If I fight with the enemy, it is worth dying. If I "sacrifice heroically" in racing, I will die in a cowardly manner. I am really sorry to Commander Pang and the others. But I was so angry at that time, so I didn't even think of so many things.

"And you!" After criticizing me, Liu Shunyi pointed his finger at Zhang Mingxue and others who were standing behind me tremblingly: "What are you doing? What kind of guards? Where are you when Captain Cui is in danger? Especially you..."

Liu Shunyi pointed at Xu Yongwei's nose without hesitation and cursed: "I can't keep up with the urgent march for only three nights! Is it that Captain Cui also asked you to give up the car? Should you protect the commander or the commander protect you? How can you do a good job of protection like this? You can reflect on me. If you continue like this, your guards will be out of order. Go home and farm!"

Seeing this, I couldn't help but scream. Once Liu Shunyi talked about military rules and criticized people, he would really not have any face. Seeing Xu Yongwei's eyes turned red, I felt a little unbearable in my heart. I was thinking about how to help them solve the situation, but then Li Xianhao saved the situation.

"Captain Cui!" Although Li Xianhao's face was still a little bad, his eyes were no longer as arrogant as before. It should be that Bai Xiaowang performed some driving skills in front of them, so that they knew that the volunteer army was not what they thought, but as simple as the guerrillas!

This is it! When I think of this, I couldn't help but feel hatred again. I couldn't figure out that their performance on the battlefield was obviously far from us, so why did they always look down on us and say that we were guerrillas?

"Captain Cui!" Li Xianhao's feelings were very scared by Xiao Wang's moment, and he said in a terror: "The defense zone arranged by the superiors before is the one that he arranged for you. Let's walk!"

"What? Our defense zone is ahead?" I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this, because I couldn't see the US military or the People's Army here, and even occasionally a few gunshots were several miles away. Is this the place to be our defense zone? Does that mean that we were all idle in the back...

Liu Shunyi also thought of this, which was also what he was most concerned about. He couldn't help but walk up and asked, "Comrade Li, can you let us see your defense map?"

"This... I want to ask Major Jin what he means!"

Damn! Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but curse again, "We are the regiment commander, and I want to see where the enemy is, where the People's Army is, and even where they arranged us, I have to ask this little battalion commander!" But this major is named Jin, so I can't be a person with any background!

Liu Shunyi winked at me. Before I could understand what he meant, Liu Shunyi smiled and said to Li Xianhao: "We don't understand Korean, right? We came in a hurry and didn't bring an interpreter. I have to help us talk to Major Jin!"

Well, after hearing this, I realized the meaning of Liu Shunyi's wink. This guy is indeed a deputy commander! He buried a mine for these people's army so quickly. He knew that I could speak Korean, but he pretended that we didn't know anything about it. If these people's army guys really believed it and told military secrets unscrupulously in front of us, then we would be blessed...

"Of course, of course!" Li Xianhao seemed to believe that none of us could speak Korean. He just glanced at us and started chatting with the two majors of the People's Army with confidence.

"Major Jin! They want to see the armament map, how about it? Show it to them?"

"Can you do not show it to them? Don't worry, we have prepared a modified armament map long ago. Most of the locations are similar, but the locations related to the confidentiality have been deleted!"

"Major Jin is still thoughtful! I was still worried just now..."

"If you can't even think of this, how can you do things in the intelligence department?" Major Jin said with some conscience.

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a sudden slap in my heart. This guy is from the intelligence department, and I can't say that their mission is not only to monitor us, but also to spy on our military information.

"That's that's it!" Li Xianhao nodded and bowed for a while, then sought Major Jin's opinion: "Then this defense map..."

Major Jin didn't say anything, walked back to the jeep and took a map and spread it in front of us. Then, I don't know if I had thought about the leader's addiction or what, and said to us in a arrogant manner: "The enemy we faced was the five divisions of the puppet army. The contact line between our army and them started from Linjin River mouth in the west, and went east through Gaolangpuli, Lianchuan, Tieyuan, Jinhua, Chongdali, Yueshanli, Shaquanli to the east coast. The entire front line was more than 80 kilometers long, and there were five divisions of our army. In addition, the second line started from Wululi in the west and went east to Beihan River, and there were two divisions of our army stationed."

Major Jin said while Li Xianhao translated. Finally, Major Jin drew a large area on the map, clicked a few high grounds and said to us: "This is your defense zone, there are five high grounds in total, so there is no problem!"

When we saw the location of our defense zone on the map, Liu Shunyi and I couldn't help but look at each other because this defense zone was not even a second line, and these high grounds could not form a straight line. We had no defense lines at all when we were stationed there. It was almost a few piled up high grounds on the map for us to garrison, and we were knocked down if we were to put it on.

"Major Jin!" Liu Shunyi refused to agree when he saw the People's Army's arrangement. He hurriedly pulled Li Xianhao and said, "Mr. Li, you tell Major Jin, this arrangement is probably inappropriate! We are garrisoning here, so we can't even see an enemy? Then what else can we fight?"

"This..." Li Xianhao said with some embarrassment: "This is what the superior means, I'm afraid Major Jin can't make the decision!"

"But! But... how can this be done!" The so-called concern is chaotic. Liu Shunyi wanted to make some military achievements to justify the 60th Army. So when he heard this, Ren was once a deputy commander, and Ren he could no longer be patient and panicked.

"Captain Cui, you, you say something..." At this time, Chief Li and others also came up, and when they saw the defense map, they all had no idea. Chief Li urged me anxiously, "Captain Cui, it is hard to cook without rice. Even if we can fight, we are now..."

But no matter how Deputy Commander Liu and Chief of Staff urged me, I just looked at the defense map silently. As the commander, I, did not speak, and it was hard for others to say anything more. I was so anxious that everyone was sighing and stomping their feet.

"Mr. Li!" After a while, I raised my head and asked, "How far is our defense zone from the front line?"

"This..." Li Xianhao was not very good at military affairs, so he turned around and asked Major Jin in Korean.

"There are five or six kilometers of great pleasure!" Major Jin said after looking at the map for a while: "Our second front is five kilometers away from the first front, and your location is just a little behind the second front, which is almost this distance."

"Then there is no problem!" I picked up the defense map and stood up, shook at Captain Liu and the staff, and said firmly: "Just follow this defense map to station! Five high grounds! See how to defend. If you can't defend, there will be a big problem!"

"Captain Cui!"

"Captain Cui!"

Liu Shunyi and others thought I would argue with them, and even if the result was not satisfied, they hoped that I could find the senior management. In short, they wanted me to fight for a chance to kill the enemy no matter what. They never thought that I would fight or fight for land and agreed, and they were so anxious that they all surrounded me and refused to let me go.

"What's wrong?" Seeing them all anxious, I pretended to be confused: "Is the order given by my regiment commander no longer responsible?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and stopped talking.

"If you still think I am the leader of this regiment, then execute the order immediately!" I emphasized and said, "Digging a tunnel to do forgings, I want to find a place to rest early!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

Deputy Commander Liu and the staff responded one after another. Listening to their answers intermittently, I knew that they were all unconvinced. It was just because of the "resolute implementation of the orders of superiors".

So the volunteer soldiers quickly began to build fortifications under the command and arrangement of Deputy Commander Liu. The regiment headquarters was temporarily set up in a newly dug tunnel. The radio soldiers quickly set up the radio to contact the superiors and report the situation. The communication soldiers were busy leading telephone lines to the surrounding high grounds. Although Deputy Commander Liu and others had complained in their hearts, they were not vague in their work. In less than half a day, the field fortifications on these five high grounds had been well-built.

"Captain Cui!" Just as the commander, I, was lying in the tunnel and napping, Deputy Commander Liu hurriedly walked up to me with a telegram and reported: "The headquarters urgently sent a telegram. Our army has begun negotiations with the enemy, so we are not allowed to start a light battle with the enemy!"

"Um! The negotiations have begun?" I sat up as if I was confused and took the telegram and glanced at Zhang Mingxue, who was standing nearby: "Call the Chief of Staff to have a meeting!"

"Yes!" Zhang Mingxue responded and ran out of the tunnel quickly.

Actually, I had known that the negotiations have begun, and it should be said that it is not now. Just when the fifth battle ended, China and the United States had already started the negotiations. However, this was still a high-level secret at the time, and ordinary soldiers were just unaware of this.

Chief of Staff Li and his men arrived soon. What surprised me was that Li Xianhao and the others seemed to hear the news and brought the two majors to the meeting, and said confidently: "Captain Cui, for us to defeat the enemy better and more unitedly, I think we should eliminate the barriers between each other and jointly formulate a combat plan!"

"Of course!" I yelled at the sky: "So what you mean, can I sit in your division headquarters tomorrow and work with your division commanders to make a combat plan? If possible, please come in!"

Li Xianhao and others obviously didn't expect me to say this. After discussing with Major Jin for a while, they left in shame on the excuse of having something to do.

"I just received a telegram from the headquarters saying that it was going to negotiate. What do you think?" After Li Xianhao and the others walked away, I handed the telegram down.

The chiefs of staff received the telegram and saw that they were all dejected like wilted cabbages.

"Why is it at this time?" Huang Xianhua from the General Staff of the 179th Division lit a cigarette. In an instant, smoke roamed in the tunnel, and the smell of choking smoke was everywhere.

"Okay! We have no war here anyway!" Jiang Chunzeng from the 181st Division also said disheartenedly: "It seems that we are going to have a waste of work. If we want to fight, God will not let us fight!"

Li Xiangming, who originally belonged to the 180th Division, was even listless and he pulled his head and said nothing.

Only Liu Shunyi had no expression on his face, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"What? Just give up?"

"Captain Cui, this is going to be negotiated. You said we are..."

"You don't know how cunning American imperialism is!" I laughed and said, "I have fought with the Americans for several months and I know very well about their deceitful tricks. They often pretend to surrender and let us go out to accept prisoners. Our soldiers walked up and they fucked guns from behind! I think this time, they are almost playing this trick!"

"Really?" Everyone's eyes were filled with energy after hearing this, and even Li Xiangming raised his head and looked at me.

"Don't he be real or not!" I spread the map in front of me and said, "I only know, if this is true, the Americans are really playing with us. When they call us, if we are not prepared, then..."

Actually, I don’t have such a good attitude. I just know from modern information that the negotiations are endless. It took more than two years to finally get into the negotiations. It’s just the beginning!

"Yes!" Li Xiangming couldn't help but sit up and said, "Captain Cui is right. We can't just give up, even if we only have a glimmer of hope, we must persist!"

"But..." Chief of Staff Jiang asked again: "We were arranged to the rear and we couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy. So what else can we fight?"

"If you can't see the shadow of the enemy now, it doesn't mean you can't see it in the future!" I said without any objection.

"Captain Cui means!" Staff Jiang couldn't help but look at me in confusion.

"Comrades!" I stood up and said, "You are just thinking about making contributions to the battlefield, but you forgot the purpose of our troops coming this time. This time we came because the People's Army's combat effectiveness is weaker than our Volunteers, and their defense position is the weakness of our defense line. So the boss sent us to help the People's Army defend their positions. Otherwise, there would be a very likely situation when we attacked the US military's defense line!"

"What was happening when we attacked the US military's defense line?" I paused and continued: "We always first break through the relatively weak puppet army's defense line, and then the US military had to retreat because their flanks were exposed to us. Our existence is to avoid the same thing happening to us! So comrades, you must understand that our purpose is not to go to the front line to kill the enemy, but to imagine that after the People's Army was repelled by the enemy, we nailed it here like a nail!"

"Yes!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The so-called authorities were confused. As the 60th Army, they were too concerned about whether they could make contributions and strive for a chance to turn things around for 60th, so they forgot their original mission.

"So!" I finally concluded: "It's nothing wrong for us to stay here. The enemy cannot defeat it. We have easily completed the mission. If the enemy fights, it's time for us to play!"

"Okay!" Everyone shouted in unison, as if they understood the reason why I agreed to stay in the second line.
Chapter completed!
