Chapter 74 Military Merit

Unexpectedly, the Mustang fighter finally saved the material and even saved us. Because once the signal flare was ignited, it might soon attract US B-29 bombers to carry out carpet bombing on this area. At that time, I was afraid that even I would not be spared.

But at this time, I was still not at ease because I was still holding a pistol on my head. To be honest, it felt really bad to be pushed by someone with a gun. The muzzle was pressed against my temples, and the coldness from the pistol made me shivering involuntarily. Thinking of this muzzle, a bullet could be shot into my head at any time, and my scalp would be numb.

I dare not act rashly because I know that any of my actions will cause the gunman to pull the trigger. Although my guards, Kim Jong-song and others will definitely rehabilitate me, I don’t want to be a martyr. Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that being able to live is better than anything else!

I didn't dare to speak because I knew very well that the gunman was a soldier of the People's Army. He couldn't understand Chinese and spoke Korean... But I was wearing a Volunteer Army uniform. Speaking Korean seemed to prove that I was a puppet army agent!

I have had a lot of dealings with the People's Army, so I know very clearly that compared with the US military, the People's Army hates the puppet army even more. Because they think that the puppet army could not defeat them, they brought outsiders into the territory, which made the war on the Korean Peninsula more and more. Therefore, there are fewer puppet troops in the prisoner-of-war camps of the People's Army and more US troops. If this gunman thought I was a puppet army agent, I think he would pull the trigger without hesitation.

But he didn't pull the trigger, which is also what I am very grateful to God.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

At this time, Xu Yongwei and Zhang Mingxue climbed to the top of the mountain. When they saw this situation, they raised the rifle in their hands and pointed it at the bloody People's Army soldier without saying a word.

"Put down the gun! Raise your hand!" Xu Yongwei shouted nervously in half-baked Korean.

In order to facilitate communication with our enemy puppet army on the battlefield, each volunteer army learned a few simple Korean words, and Xu Yongwei was naturally no exception.

"Put down the gun! Who are you?" But the gunman obviously did not do as Xu Yongwei said. The muzzle on my head not only did not relax, but also tightened...

"Comrades! We are the volunteers!" I quickly responded in Korean.

Don't follow me this!" The People's Army soldier shouted at me fiercely: "If you were volunteers, why would you shoot at our soldiers!"

"They are puppet army agents!" I felt relieved when I saw the soldier willing to ask questions. Being willing to ask for questions means we still have the opportunity to explain clearly, otherwise...

I felt the pistol tremble on my head, and I knew that my life had already picked up half of it. I hurriedly continued to explain: "Look more clearly, those who were beaten to death by me all carry signal flares that guide the target for the US military aircraft. Their purpose is to run to the car that stores the material, and then guide the bombing target for the US military aircraft!"

Upon hearing this, the People's Army soldier was stunned and looked at the puppet army agents who were beaten to death by me, and then obviously believed it. I only felt that my head was loose and my head was finally safe.

"Damn it!" Zhang Mingxue didn't care about that much. He snatched it up and gave the People's Army soldier a stock: "You dare to point the gun at our regiment commander, you'll be dead!"

As I said that I would fight again, I stopped me in time.

This guy is holding a pistol, which means he is still an "official". Although I have never had any good feelings for the People's Army officers, if Zhang Mingxue continues to fight like this, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction from the People's Army. After all, we are still sitting on the same boat, and I will generally understand this.

Not long after, the US planes poured bullets over our heads and left one after another.

As soon as the plane left, the sound of machine guns and explosions gradually became sparse. Screams, moans and the sound of fire slowly snatched into my ears. There were already fire on the battlefield, with smoke everywhere, corpses, bullet craters and broken anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, cars... This dilapidated scene makes people unable to believe that this is the Sandeng Railway Station more than half an hour ago.

Fortunately, I looked at the carriages that were hiding in the valley, and except for some of the camouflage being shaken away, there was no loss at all.

Finally, I saved these materials. I hope that the number of casualties will not be more than that of Sandeng Railway Station in history! Only by thinking this way can I feel better.

"Go back!" I couldn't bear to see this scene again, so I left a sentence at Xu Yongwei and Zhang Mingxue, turned around and walked towards the regiment headquarters.

There were migrant workers, stretcher teams and health workers running towards each other along the way. After the war, they were at their function, but I knew that because of the urgent shortage of medicines, the role they could play was extremely limited.

The mountain road was very small and there were many people on the stretcher team. In order not to affect their rescue, I had to take Xu Yongwei back to the regiment headquarters again from the hillside. Before I could enter the regiment headquarters, I heard a cheer that was higher than a wave. I pushed open the door and went in, and I was quickly surrounded.

"Captain Cui, we won! The material is saved!"

"Yes! Captain Cui! Thanks to your method! The American imperialist plan has failed again!"

...

Most of the people in the regiment headquarters are officers of the People's Army, including radio telephone soldiers, staff officers, regiment commanders, deputy regiment commanders, and even division commanders Kim Jong-song. Everyone had a victory smile on their faces, and they all clenched their fists excitedly, but I was the only one who didn't...

The reason is very simple. They were sitting in the regiment headquarters to order the three armies, but I came back from the battlefield. Suddenly, I felt like I was an alien and felt that I shouldn't have returned here at all.

"Captain Cui!" Looking at my heart full of worries, Kim Jong-song walked up to me and shook my hand and said, "I'm worried that the railway station will not be bombed back to China, right? Don't worry, this matter is for me, and I guarantee you will take the train back to China early tomorrow morning!"

"What?" I was stunned when I heard this. Now it seems that I am really going back to China.

"Come on... let's give me a drink to Commander Cui!" That night, Jin Zhongsong set up a wine table in the regiment headquarters to see me off. In addition to the senior cadres I had met in the regiment headquarters, there were also several battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders of the anti-aircraft artillery regiments who had just come down from the battlefield. Some of them were bandages on their hands, and dozens of them sat on three tables!

"Cheers!" Dozens of people stood up and raised their glasses to Yaoyao. I also stood up and responded to them one by one, and raised the wine glass in my hand and dried it all.

Wine is good wine.

In fact, I can’t taste any good wine, but I know that it is definitely good wine, because in North Korea, where material shortage, except for the rice wine brewed by the people on the table, everything else is good wine. Especially for my glass without any color, this kind of wine cannot be produced by a backward country like North Korea, so it is either imported or seized from the US military.

"Comrades!" After drinking for a while, he inevitably sang high-profile. Kim Jong-song stood up with some alcohol and waved his fists and shouted: "Comrades! Under the wise leadership of General Kim Il-sung, we once again crushed the conspiracy of American imperialism and successfully protected the substances stranded at the railway station! The Party leaders gave great affirmation to our victory in this battle, praised us for our bravery and tenacity in combat, and gave our Third Anti-Aircraft Cannon Regiment as the Iron Anti-Aircraft Cannon Regiment!"

"Long live General Kim Il-sung!"

"Long live the Workers' Party!"

...

The People's Army soldiers present raised their fists and cheered.

"Here, I want to thank a comrade for a special thanks to a comrade!" After the shouting stopped, Kim Jong-song continued: "This comrade bravely fought side by side with us in this battle, defeated American imperialism with us, and witnessed the friendship between China and North Korea and the unity between China and North Korea. This comrade is Comrade Cui Wei, the leader of the 538th Regiment!"

"Wow..." The applause quickly rang out.

In desperation, I had to cooperate and stood up and salute.

But this is not over yet. Before I could sit down, Kim Jong-song continued: "The Party leader decided to award Comrade Cui Wei a 'People' medal to commend Comrade Cui Wei for his contributions to North Korea, the people, and the world's peace!"

"Huahuhu..." There was another applause.

Regardless of whether I agreed or not, Kim Jong-song handed an open red box to me without saying a word. There was a medal in the middle. It looked like the material should be copper, and the carved was a soldier with a gun on his back.

I saluted another military salute and accepted the medal.

This is not my first medal. In fact, after the fifth battle I received many medals like this.

In modern information, I know that after the fifth battle of the Korean War, Kim Il-sung awarded hundreds of thousands of medals at one time. This number is very amazing. Among the millions of volunteer troops, one can be obtained on average for every three soldiers.

"Captain Cui!" At this time, a bandage-wrapped People's Army officer walked up to me, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Salute to you, this medal is what you deserve. In fact, I think the contribution you have made in this battle is far from enough to issue this medal!"
