Chapter 38 Epilogue
Chapter 38 Ending
"The platoon leader is back!"
"Platformer Cui is back!"
...
When I returned to the company, it was already dawn. After a night of rest, all of my comrades were full of energy. When I saw me coming back, I gathered up and asked questions. But I didn't have a good rest for a few days, and I didn't even talk about it all night, but I walked back with the prisoners. At this time, my legs were as heavy as lead, and my eyelids were stuck in the glue.
"Boy!" Hu Zi pulled me and almost pulled me away, saying unhappy, "You guy is so majestic! You are the only one in the whole company to beat the Americans, how about you? How about you?"
"I won, what else do you need to ask?" Zhao Yongxin looked me up and down and said, "I didn't see Pao Cui's long nose, eyes, ears, and limbs. If he either won a big victory or became a deserter!"
"What did you say!" Zhao Yongxin said this but Liu Mingquan refused. He pushed Zhao Yongxin without hesitation and said, "Can we platoon leader Cui be a deserter? Can the people in our second company be deserter?"
"I'm so sorry... I'm not saying this?" Zhao Yongxin also felt that he had said the wrong thing and laughed embarrassedly.
"Platform Leader Cui!" Liu Mingquan ignored it and came up to ask, "How was the fight? You won!"
"Well, it's a victory!" I nodded exhausted: "The Americans were beaten away, and the people who went out also captured more than a hundred American prisoners!"
"Wow... ho..." The comrades burst out with cheers excitedly, just like a storyteller talking about the wonderful things, making them cheer loudly.
"What do Americans look like?" Hu Zi asked in a daze: "I heard that Americans all have big noses. Is it bigger than mine?"
"Platform Commander Cui!" Liu Mingquan couldn't wait to ask, "Another one hundred prisoners were captured, tell me, what should I do?"
For a while, my comrades, you said one by one, and I was dragged by them, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
"I'm talking to you!" The old squad leader pushed away everyone and took the rifle from my hand, and said unhappily: "I didn't see how tired Platoon Leader Cui is? Are you talking less? Let Platoon Leader Cui rest!"
"Yes... rest first!" The comrades woke up at this time, spreading their quilts and lying down with all their hands and feet. Then they stopped asking me tactfully, and sat next to them in a bunch of chatting in a low voice.
"This American is not very good either!" Hu Zi said: "Everyone says their planes, tanks and cannons are powerful. We'll just run away with our tails in our hands after a shot."
"That's it!" Liu Mingquan continued: "Our team has been here for more than ten days, and we are still in our position. The enemy is just escaping, we are just chasing, and we have more time to walk than to fight. The enemy has never fought a decent battle! According to me, it won't take long to go home!"
The old squad leader agreed and said, "According to this kind of playing style, it will be almost done in ten days and half a month."
"Ah?" I was sleepy, but I couldn't help but sit up when I heard their discussion. According to legend, the first group of volunteer soldiers entered North Korea to fight. The soldiers generally believed that as long as they used up a piece of toothpaste and a piece of soap, they could return to China successfully. It turned out that this was all true.
"What's wrong?" The old squad leader saw me sitting up and asked in confusion: "Why are you not sleeping? Are you disturbing?"
"What's the noise?" Zhao Yongxin said angrily: "Then the bullets are flying above the head, and the shells are blown by the side, but they are still sleeping? Oh... I can't sleep if there is no guns or gunshots, right? Why don't I let you go for a while?"
After Zhao Yongxin joked, the soldiers couldn't help laughing out loud, while the old squad leader said angrily: "Give all your ideas, do you want to attract the enemy plane?"
"No." I also squeezed out a smile and said, "Comrades, this battle is not over so quickly, it will take three years!"
"Three years?"
The soldiers were stunned.
"Three years, who are you scaring?" Hu Zi said disbelief: "Even with the reactionary virtue, it will be fought for three years?"
"That's it!" Zhao Yongxin nodded: "If others don't say it, just say we Platoon Commander Cui. In just over ten days, dozens of enemies were killed and hundreds of prisoners were captured. How many people are there in the reactionary faction? Platoon Commander Cui captured the prisoners for three years, and then he would not make up a division. At that time, let Platoon Commander Cui be the commander of this division. As for the number, he is called Cui's Division. How about it?"
Zhao Yongxin's words made the soldiers laugh, and they were all immersed in the excitement of victory, and did not take what I said to heart at all.
I sighed secretly, knowing that nothing I say now can't change the ideas of my comrades. When a thought has been recognized and spread among the public, it will be as unstoppable as a plague.
But what they didn't know was that the several consecutive victories that the volunteers fought since they entered North Korea had a serious thought of underestimating the enemy. At that time, neither the South Korean army nor the US army took it seriously, and even had the toothpaste squeeze theory of "from north to south, you can finish it with just one push."
This serious underestimation of the enemy caused the volunteer soldiers to suffer great losses in the subsequent battles, so that although they replaced them with more advanced equipment and relatively sufficient supplies in the later stage, they still failed to achieve better results.
With a little regret, I lay back in the quilt, closed my eyes, but my head was thinking about my thoughts in a mess. Can't these history be changed? If it cannot be changed, then why did God arrange for me to come to this past that has happened to me? If it can be changed, then aren't the history in my memory wrong?
Until now, I still feel that this is like a dream, a dream where I am awake or the only one is confused. Maybe when I wake up, when I open my eyes, I can see my relatives, friends, and everything I know...
