Chapter 92: Battlefield, I'm back

"Captain! Don't you say goodbye to the soldiers?" Li Pinghe asked.

"No!" I shook my head: "We are all soldiers, so it's not too common to break up and get back together. I think comrades will understand!"

In fact, I don’t want to face the moment of separation again. It would be better if I don’t see each other without seeing each other.

"I'll go and see you off!" Li Pinghe said: "Anyway, this place is not far from Anton..."

"No need!" I shook Li Pinghe's hand and replied, "No matter where you are sent, there is something else. There is still a lot of things in the group waiting for you to deal with. Go back early!"

"Okay then!" Li Pinghe nodded: "Then... goodbye to win!"

"Goodbye to victory!"

As I said that, I got into the jeep, closed the door with a "bang!", waved at Li Pinghe, and the jeep roared towards Andong.

"Captain, what's wrong?" After driving the jeep for a while, Xu Yongwei and Zhang Mingxue felt that the direction was wrong, and they couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Don't we go back to the base?"

"Go to Anton!" I replied, "I'm going to the front line again!"

"Hey, we're going to the front line again!" Zhang Mingxue was so happy that he grabbed the submachine gun on his chest and said, "We have been holding it in that guesthouse every day during this period, and our hands and feet are almost rusted. Now we are just going to practice!"

"That's it!" Xu Yongwei also replied excitedly: "I was still thinking just now! The villagers are so kind to me, calling us the 'cutest people', but we stayed at the border and just ate and did nothing. We felt ashamed! Now, we are finally going to the battlefield again!"

"It's me, not you!" I said in a muffled voice: "As soon as you arrive at the station, you can go back to the base with Xiao Li's car!"

"What?" Hearing this, the few people in the car couldn't help but look at me in confusion. Xiao Li simply stepped on the brake and stopped the jeep.

"Captain, what did you say just now?" Xu Yongwei asked again.

"What's the point!" I said loudly with a stern face: "Where do you have so many problems? Do you still need organization and discipline? Drive me!"

"Yes!" Xiao Li did not dare to disobey the order and started the car again.

But this time the car drove very slowly. Perhaps, this is because the mood of several people in the car became extremely heavy.

Less than half an hour later, the jeep drove into Anton Station. A train heading to Pyongyang was parked in front of the station and steam was driving hot steam. Teams of volunteer soldiers were lined up to get on the train. I took out the ticket prepared by Commander Pang for me, grabbed my sniper rifle, marched, and walked towards the train, but was stopped by Xu Yongwei and others.

"Captain!" Zhang Mingxue tightened his gun and said, "We are your guards, we can go wherever you go! How can you just leave us alone!"

"Yes, the commander!" Xu Yongwei also said: "Our mission is to protect you, but now we are not allowed to follow you..."

"This is the order of my superior!" I patted Xu Yongwei and others on the shoulders and said, "The superior transferred me to the front line to perform the mission, and Deputy Commander Liu will temporarily take my position. Don't make trouble anymore! Go back!"

"Captain! At worst, we will be your orderly soldiers!" Xu Yongwei still didn't give up and looked at me with a gaze, saying, "You can bring us both, we can run errands for you and send letters! You are going to the front line, so it's not difficult to bring two orderly soldiers!"

"Where do you get so many names?" Seeing that it was so soft, I emphasized and said in a heavy tone: "If you want an orderly soldier, there will be no front line? You have to take you both from afar? Let me go back, this is an order!"

As I said that, I walked up to the train without looking back. As soon as I got on the train, I couldn't help but look back and saw Xu Yongwei and others standing in place, lined up in rows and saluting me. I felt sour in my heart, tears almost fell down, and I quickly turned my head and rushed into the car.

The train started slowly, but Xu Yongwei and others still stood there for a long time and refused to leave. I couldn't help but sigh, it's not that I don't want to take you with me. In fact, if I asked to bring two guards, no one would object. But I don't want to...

Because I knew that the 180th Division would not enter North Korea until the end of the Korean War. I didn't want to bring Xu Yongwei and others who had a great chance of survival onto a battlefield full of dangers because of my reasons. If they had any accidents, then I think I would never forgive myself.

"Comrade!" Just as I was stunned, a young soldier sitting opposite me who looked only seventeen or eight years old looked at the sniper rifle in my hand enviously and asked carefully: "Comrade, what kind of gun are you?"

"Sniper rifle!" I replied.

"Sniper rifle!" The little soldier looked at me with admiration and asked, "It's the American guy who has surrendered the gun! Can you let me see it?"

"Tiesheng, don't be big or young!" An old soldier sitting next to him whispered: "Didn't you see this comrade came in a jeep just now? He also brought two guards with submachine guns. They are at least 'officials' above battalion commanders!"

Tiesheng was quickly afraid to speak after the old soldier said this, but his eyes were still staring at the rifle in my hand.

"Give it!" I smiled and handed the sniper rifle to Tiesheng.

Tiesheng felt ecstatic on his face and reached out to pick up the gun, but when he thought of the old soldier's reminder just now, he shrank his hand back.

"Next!" I simply handed the gun to Tiesheng's arms.

"Hey!" Tiesheng responded, and then excitedly took the gun.

"Hey, it's so heavy!" Tiesheng shouted as soon as he took the gun: "It's much heavier than our gun!"

"Is that so? I'll try..."

After Tiesheng said this, the other soldiers in the car also became interested and came up to grab me and took it. Only then did I notice that most of the guns on their bodies were 38 large covers and 38 medium-term, let alone Poposa, even Mosinnagan could see a few.

"You are..." Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask in confusion.

By the way, the logistics of the volunteer army is no longer as nervous as in the early days of the Korean War, and the weapons are not so backward! Besides, these are troops sent from the country to the front line. How can such equipment go to the front line to fight with the war?

"We are from the 22nd Engineer Regiment!"

Tiesheng's answer made me realize that it was no wonder that non-combat troops were all such weapons. Then I soon thought that in the past, our army had basically not seen independent engineers on the front line. This time I went up, I was afraid that I would prepare for our lurking combat!

So I asked again: "Where are you going to go to? Did you send you to clear the mines?"

"I heard it is the Five Sacred Mountains!" Tie Sheng replied: "We don't know whether it is mine clearance! The superiors didn't say it either!"

"Oh!" I heard that they also went to the Five Sacred Mountains, and I knew it was almost as far away as what I guessed.

Lurking and fighting, when I was in Shangganling, I lay motionless in the snow all day, and when I thought of the bone-burning cold, I couldn't help but shivering. Fortunately, it's autumn now and the weather has warmed up. Now lurking and fighting should not be as difficult as before!

Did the train arrive in Pyongyang at night or at Sandeng Railway Station? Daqing looks similar to a few months ago, but I don’t know any of the People’s Army soldiers stationed at the railway station. I think that Lieutenant Colonel Jiang and others who were originally stationed here should have been promoted now! It is a great contribution to successfully protecting so many materials!

"Comrade!" After getting off the train, Tiesheng greeted me enthusiastically, "You are also rushing to Wusheng Mountain? Let's just march together! There is also a way to take care of me!"

"Okay!" I nodded. It was still two or three days to march to Wusheng Mountain. If I were to walk alone, I might be alone at any time.

I still remember a veteran of the Volunteer Army said that there are three fears that they will not find a way in North Korea; two fears that they will not be able to find a way; two fears that puppet military spies; three fears that North Korean women will arrest you and have children for them.

One, I am a road blind; Two, I can't beat four hands with two fists; Three, the most serious thing is that I don't want to leave a lot of illegitimate children in North Korea. Therefore, following the large army is the best choice.

But as soon as I walked out of Sandeng Railway Station, I found that my worries were completely unnecessary. Because there was a jeep parked at the entrance of the railway station, a middle-aged volunteer soldier was looking around holding a sign, holding a flashlight in his left hand to illuminate the two big words "Cui Wei" on the sign.

"Tiesheng!" I shouted to Tiesheng with some apology: "Someone has come to pick me up, I won't leave with you. See you in the Five Sacred Mountains!"

"See you in the Five Sacred Mountains!" Tiesheng smiled and waved at me, not forgetting to aim at the sniper rifle on my back.

"Look! I'll just say he's a cadre!" I heard someone talking behind me, "There are four wheels everywhere!"

"Yes! What kind of 'official' is he? He has such a talent!"

...

Hearing me, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I'm still called a grandmother, and now I've been surrendered to the Chief of Staff of the regiment.

I ignored the comments of the soldiers behind me, walked straight to the soldier holding a sign and said, "Hello, comrade, I am Cui Wei!"

"You, you are Cui Wei..." The soldier holding the sign was stunned and immediately got a smile and said, "Welcome! Comrade Cui Wei, I am Wu Qiming, the combat staff officer of the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division of the 15th Army. I am here to welcome you at the order of the regiment commander! Come on, please get in the car!"

It turned out that I was my own colleague. I couldn't help but look at Wu Qiming a few more times. Because the light was dim, I couldn't see what he looked like. I only saw a pen on his shirt pocket, and the Tokarev pistol holster on his waist was very bright and seemed to have never been opened. The movement was a little bookish and looked like a civilian!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. When I first came to this era, my behavior might be very similar to his. After all, I have been studying since I was a child! But in this era, the rain of bullets on the battlefield had already trained me to be a carefree and rough man. When I thought about working with such a gentle person in the future, I felt very upset.

"Captain Cui! I think I should say sorry to you first!" As soon as the jeep started, Wu Qiming handed me a cigarette: "Because... I asked my superiors to transfer you to the front line to cooperate!"

"What?" Hearing this, my hand, which was lighting a cigarette, couldn't help but tremble, and the cigarette was extinguished before it even caught fire.

"I know your difficulties!" Wu Qiming lit a match and lit a cigarette for me: "I have read your file and knew that you were on the Korean battlefield since the first shot was fired, and didn't return home until a few months ago. I haven't had a few days off yet, and I have been tossing again! But Captain Cui..."

"Staff Secretary Cui!" I corrected it with a stiff tone.

"Staff Secretary Cui!" Wu Qiming continued to explain calmly: "When I walked up to the 597.9 and 537.7, I was amazed by the tunnel fortifications above! The upper, middle and lower levels of tunnels are connected and supported by each other. The tunnel entrance is also very cleverly designed, and it is also combined with the surface fortifications to form a complete defense system that can be attacked and defended. Unfortunately, these fortifications have not been completed yet. As soon as I inquired, I knew that those were designed by you, I was determined to ask my superiors to transfer you. But in the end, it was not just because of this!"

I didn't say a word, and I knew that at this time, I should have cooperated and asked: "Oh, why is that?". But I was still a little angry with Wu Qiming, and now it has been adjusted. No matter what the reason is, it doesn't make any difference to me, so I really have no interest in knowing.

"Haha..." Seeing that I didn't answer, Wu Qiming laughed awkwardly and continued: "What really made me determined is because I heard that you once trained a cold gun unit and fought quite beautiful lurking battles on the 597.9 and 537.7 highlands!"

"Oh!" I understood when I heard this.

According to my proposal, Shangganling’s current primary task is to launch an attack first, and if the enemy is fully prepared, if you want to win the attack, you have to launch a lurking battle.

The tunnels on the 597.9 highland and 537.7 highland meet the defense requirements of Shangganling, and the lurking operations meet the offensive requirements of Shangganling. Everything I have done in this area seems to meet the current task of Shangganling. No wonder people are in a hurry to transfer me back. God can still forgive the evils of God, but he can't survive. Who made me do everything as tailor-made as Shangganling! And now it's time to get angry or complain about anything.

"Staff Officer Wu!" So I said to Wu Qiming sitting beside me: "You are also considering our revolutionary cause. You are not wrong with doing this. Moreover, I was not used to it after the war, and I was determined to return to the battlefield to make trouble! So you don't need to have any ideological burden, and don't feel sorry for me. As a revolutionary soldier, I still have this ideological awareness!"

"That's good!" Wu Qiming nodded, shook hands with me again and said, "It's rare that Cui Tuan... um..."

"Staff Officer Cui!"

Wu Qiming and I said this word almost in unison, and then the two couldn't help but smile at each other, and the atmosphere in the jeep was eased a lot.

Because I developed the habit of sleeping at night when I was in school, I felt a little drowsy after smoking a cigarette. I didn’t care about my face, so I untied the marching and was packed on my body, leaned against the car window and fell asleep.

Wu Qiming didn't think anything. Maybe he had seen the "sleeping position" of the soldiers on the battlefield, so he was not surprised by my behavior.

I don’t know how long it took, but a brake inertia woke me up from my sleep. Wu Qiming said from the side: “Staff Officer Cui, we’re here!”

"Well!" I opened my jerky eyes reluctantly and began to sort out the marching quilt.

At the same time, I was secretly alert in my heart that I was not like this in the past. When I was on the battlefield before, when I opened my eyes, I would catch the gun like a conditioned reflex and enter the battlefield, and then force myself to enter the battle state as fast as possible. But now I... If I was on the battlefield like this, I was afraid that the enemy would rush in front of me.

Alas! The comfortable life in the rear is really lazy. The so-called "born from good fortune and die from happiness" is afraid that this is what I mean! But if I choose, I would rather "died from happiness"!

After tidying up my luggage, I opened the car door and took a step. The first thing I smelled was a stream of air mixed with smoke, burnt smell and bloody smell.

I turned my gaze around. Under the hazy moonlight, there were overlapping craters everywhere, and bombed cars were placed in scattered on the craters. From time to time, several volunteer soldiers ran past us, carrying guns, carrying cannons, and carrying ammunition boxes, making people feel a tense atmosphere.

In the direction of the enemy, the searchlight lights were constantly peering at our positions like monsters' eyes. The rumbling sound of cannons came from afar like muffled thunder. Occasionally, you could see a few dazzling flares rising from the sky.

All of this, I feel both familiar and strange.

I am familiar with it because I have only been separated from it for more than three months. I am unfamiliar because I have tried to get used to another life, tried to forget it forever, and hoped not to see it again...

Hope is beautiful, but reality is so cold and cruel!

I couldn't help but sigh, raised my chest at all, and said silently in my heart:
Chapter completed!
