第二章 重逢

I was eager to see it. Since I knew that the 180th Division was about to enter the North Korea to participate in the war, my heart that had just relaxed was immediately raised again. But the time for the 180th Division to enter the North Korea was a military secret, and even Captain Zhang and others didn't know it, so I could only wait in Xiyang.

The days of recuperating in Xiyangli can be said to be a rare leisure time. The geographical location here is unique. Although it is also shrouded in the dark clouds of war, it is far away from the smoke of war and artillery fire. In addition, the air defense near the capital is tight, and even the enemy planes rarely come to harass me. This allowed me to live a rare leisure life.

The relaxed and peaceful days always pass quickly. Under the careful care of the sanitary staff and nurses, Yu He was injured slowly, and he can still get on the ground without using crutches. Usually, I am not only chatting with the soldiers and playing chess, but also tossing the m1 sniper rifle that Captain Zhang specially sent me back.

These days on the battlefield have made me understand that in this cruel world, the only ones that can be trusted and relied on are the rifles in my hands. Although this originally brand new rifle has many flaws in previous battles, for example, in the last battle, the stock was loosened, and the bayonet was twisted due to frequent sprints, and even the gun rod had several gaps made by shrapnel, I was still unwilling to replace it with a new one.

Now I have this condition. The soldiers seized a lot of m1 rifles on the battlefield. Commander Zhang also said that as long as I want, I can choose from the captured rifles at any time and give them whatever I want! But I still don’t want to do this. First, because I have had feelings for the rifles that have been with me for so many years and have lived and died, and second, because I understand it.

To understand what it means is that I know every little advantage and disadvantage in it. On the battlefield, I can always try my best to avoid its weaknesses and eventually win time and time again with it.

"Chief of Staff!" While I was rubbing guns by the stream, several wounded soldiers surrounded me and sat beside me casually and said, "We all heard that your shooting skills are as good as a god. We also organized a cold gun force to fire cold guns. Can we let a few guns let us see it?"

"Why? Don't want to listen to my story?" I quipped.

"Hey, it's not nice to tell stories!" A warrior continued, "This makes you tell stories! Either keep talking about the warrior's like, or the enemy comes up and a row of grenades hits it, never talking about himself! It's boring..."

"That's it!" Another soldier also agreed: "We all want to hear how you command the troops to defeat the enemy's ace troops on the battlefield. Who knows that you keep talking about others! So you have to listen to your story! We might as well listen to Lao Liu and the others!"

Lao Liu is the old soldier who lost his eyes. They almost persisted from the beginning to the end of the Battle of Shangganling, so they knew a lot about me, so naturally they shook all my "deeds" to the curious soldiers without reservation.

"Chief of Staff!" Because it was in the hospital, the soldiers were casual with each other. A young soldier with a bandage on his forehead came forward and looked at my rifle enviously and said, "I have seen this gun too many times, but there is a 'telescope' on it. This is the first time I have seen it! Can you let me see it?"

"No..." I handed over the rifle casually.

"Hey! You can see it clearly!" The little soldier took the gun and glanced at the opposite side of the river, shouting excitedly: "Chief of Staff, it will be much easier to aim at the enemy with this telescope!"

"I said Xiaoma, it depends on who used the gun!"

"That's it! The Chief of Staff can knock down eight bullets in a row, and it's good if you can hit one!"

The soldiers next to them started to make noises as soon as they heard this.

"I, I don't believe it!" The little soldier named Xiaoma said with some dissatisfaction: "When this little 'telescope' is photographed, the enemy is like before my eyes. Can this... still fail to hit?"

"Then you try it?" said the other soldiers.

"Chief of Staff! Can I try it?" Xiao Ma asked with a blushing face and thick neck as he was excited by the soldiers beside him.

I couldn't help but feel funny. The little horse was like a child and took all the jokes seriously. But seeing his face full of expectations and seriousness, it was not easy to sweep the interest of him and the soldiers. Besides, the supply of our army's guns and bullets is no shortage at this time, and it is no big deal to practice marksmanship. So I smiled and nodded, and handed over a magazine.

Although Xiao Ma was young, he seemed to have some effort in his hands. He familiarly installed magazines for the rifle, raised the gun and set up the rack, and then "bang" twice...

The sound of the soldiers beside him sounded again, because Xiaoma didn't know where the two bullets had flew! She was ashamed that Xiaoma didn't know where to put them on. In fact, it couldn't be blamed for him. The butt stock was a little crooked, and it was not easy to be able to hit it right as soon as she got started.

"Chief of Staff, you can try it!"

"Yes! Chief of Staff!" Xiaoma handed me the gun and said embarrassedly: "Try it! It's also good for me to learn!"

It was not easy to disappoint the soldiers. In addition, the fact that the little horse was shot like this was a little itchy. He took the rifle and shot a branch across the river, "Bang bang bang..." and fired several shots one after another.

"Okay!" The soldiers couldn't help but scream. They also watched carefully. The shots hit the branches. But I could also hear that the soldiers' cheers were not very enthusiastic, because the tree opposite was only a hundred meters away from our location. It seemed that it was easy to do this. It seemed that it could also achieve such a result by catching someone from the soldiers.

But what they didn't know was that the real good was the last shot...

"Bang!" The last bullet shot out, and the branch as thick as a bowl broke with a "whistle".

This time the soldiers lost their voices. They all looked at each other and couldn't believe that they were doing it on purpose, but the facts forced them to believe it.

It is not difficult to hit all the bullets on the branches, but it is not difficult to break a branch with these bullets, and it is very confident that the last bullet will be broken. This requires that the bullets shot at least be roughly hit on the same cross section of the branch, which is not less difficult than hitting the bull's-eye at all.

After a while, there was a burst of cheers around, and volunteer soldiers applauding here from far and near!

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly ran to me like the wind, and shouted out loudly: "Captain Cui!"

"You are..." I was stunned when I looked at the nurse in front of me. Although it seemed familiar, she was wearing a mask on her face and couldn't remember who it was.

"It's really you, it's really you..." The nurse in front of her murmured a few times. Suddenly realizing something, she slowly took off the mask hanging on her ears, revealing her pretty face, covered with fatigue and excitement.

"Golden autumn lotus!"

I really didn't expect to meet her here!

"You once said that you don't want to meet me here, but you still let me meet me!" Sitting on the stump by the river and listening to the stream simmering beside me, I couldn't help but remember what happened before.

I forgot how many battles it was, and if I fought too much, I would be a little confused. Anyway, in Seoul, this little girl was a little scared when fighting, so I arranged her to the hospital in the rear with her connection. When I parted, the girl said something related to me, "Don't let me see you in the rear!". I didn't expect that I really saw you in the rear now, but this separation has been nearly a year.

"It's okay!" Jin Qiulian looked at me with a smile on her face and said, "It's much better than I thought!"

"Hey! I'll tell me if you have some moral integrity?"

"Isn't this a good thing to do if there is no missing arms or legs?" Jin Qiulian chuckled and said, "Do you still want me to say what you are short of... that's what you call me good?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help feeling helpless. It's been so long, why hasn't this little girl changed at all, and she still likes to fight.

"Captain Cui... Oh, now I should be called Chief Cui!" Jin Qiulian walked a few steps to the stream, and washed the blood on her hands with the stream water, and turned around and asked, "Didn't you hear that you have become the regiment commander? Why are you here now? I went to the army to find you several times, and they all said you were not here. I was surprised. Your army is fighting, but you, the regiment commander, can run around every few days. Honestly, do you don't want to see me or are there any other reason?"

"Um! This..." I couldn't help but feel a little speechless when Jin Qiulian asked this. Could it be that I would tell him that it was because Li Pinghe was looking for this excuse because of his style? He would never do anything to betray comrades, although it was nothing.

After thinking about it, I replied half-truely: "It's so hard for those who are capable! My superior said that I have good shooting skills, so I sent me to organize cold gun troops everywhere to shoot cold guns! It's common for running around..."

Damn! I suddenly felt like a wife was in charge of her. This was nothing to do with her! So I made excuses everywhere to lie and make excuses!

"Give me aside!" Jin Qiulian didn't have any doubts about my words. She shook the water from her hands and came to me to uncover the gauze that was injured on my leg and said, "Let me see the wound! Well, it's healing well and it will take less than a few days... to be discharged from the hospital!"

When I said the next sentence, I actually found that she frowned, which was a very strange thing for her.

"Have you been in this hospital all the time?" I asked casually.

"Yeah!" Jin Qiulian helped me tie the gauze on my legs again, sat in front of me and replied, "There are more than a dozen wounded people living in the yard at the end of the village. I have been there for a while! You have been here, but we didn't expect that we only had a few rooms separated, but we only met until now!"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that God was really teasing people. After thinking about it, I asked again: "How did you know I was here just now? I've been running all the way..."

"Gunshot!" Jin Qiulian hugged her legs, looked at me with a smile on her eyes, and said, "Everyone's footsteps are different, just like everyone's heartbeat rhythm is different. So everyone's habits of shooting are different. After all, I am a soldier under your command. I have fought with you for a few days, so when I hear the gunshot, I know it's you!"

"Nurse Jin..." At this time, someone shouted on the other end of the forest.

Jin Qiulian immediately jumped up and said to me: "I'm going to work hard. You should recover from your injuries. I'll come to you again when you are free!"

As he said that, he hurriedly ran out of the forest, and after a while, he turned around and threatened viciously: "Warning you, don't run away secretly!"

I couldn't help but feel a little funny when I heard it. It was said that the battlefield can make a person mature quickly, but this sentence did not seem to apply to her at all. However, it was her innocence that made me feel a trace of beauty outside the battlefield and a little chaotic cleanliness beyond bloody killing.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of Lin Xue, who was far away in China, and unconsciously compared them. Although both of them were heroines from military backgrounds and seemed to have good marksmanship, they each had their own characteristics.

Lin Xue, her scheming seems to be a little more important. She knows how to use tricks and tricks. For example, she has a way to make others compete with me in the marksmanship, which means she has achieved the goal of crossing the mountain, and took the opportunity to know my marksmanship. For example, when she finally parted with me, she knew a pun, and told me what she wanted to say by saying goodbye to Li Ping, and even prepared notes in advance, and stuffed them in my hand while she shook hands and said goodbye. I think this should be related to her origin in a political family! I always learn some things.

On the other hand, although Jin Qiulian has much more practical experience than Lin Xue and has experienced much more suffering, she is innocent and innocent like a child. And I think the reason why she is afraid of the battlefield is not because she is afraid of death, but because she can't stand so many people dying by her side and dying in front of her. This is very emotionally difficult for her to accept. This should be the character she developed when she was young and hunting in the mountains with her grandfather.

If I were to choose one of them, which one would I choose?

I stood up and patted my butt, stretched and walked out of the woods. If I were in modern times, I might be very confused and proud. There were two girls who liked me at the same time, and they were both beautiful women, which was unprecedented...

But now, I don't want to worry about this problem.

Isn't there a poem?

"Life is precious, but love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned!"

This poem was once regarded as a classic by me in college, and even took it for granted that the status of love was placed above life. At that time, I had never experienced life and death on the battlefield; I had never tasted the feeling of being threatened by death all the time; I had not fought hard in the siege of the enemy, just to make myself survive!

So, at that time, I was sentimental and also trapped by love, which was understandable. But now I don’t know, because I have experienced these things.

There is a saying that many things can only be known to be valuable when they are lost. The same is true for life. When we have them, we often don’t think it is important, or even feel that life is meaningless. Only when we are on the verge of losing can we truly understand how important life is.

Love is not the whole of life, nor is it more precious than life. It is just a part of life!

So at this moment, at this moment when you may lose your life at any time, I don’t want to add to my worries because I can’t choose, everything will be done.

Shi Shiran walked out of the forest and realized that it was already evening. After returning to the ward, he used the supper brought to me by the sanitation staff, and it gradually became darker.

On the battlefield, I prefer the night because the night is our protective color. In modern times, I also like the night because the night means that I have finished my day's work and enjoy my own time. But here, I don't like the night because I can't do anything except lying in bed and staring blankly!

So I lay in bed in a daze, with the red light emitted by kerosene in the shell box as usual. The light flickered with the kerosene lamp jumping. I thought it would go out several times, but I stubbornly emitted a fire again.

This is like my life. I thought I had no chance to survive for several times, but I still survived until now. Even the injuries I suffered are irrelevant, which is a miracle. Is this the gift God arranged for me to this world? Am I immortal?

Although I have this doubt, I still dare not try it easily!

Just as I was thinking about it, a roar of an airplane suddenly came from the sky. I immediately turned over and sat up on the bed, lifted the shell box as fast as possible, and blew out the kerosene lamp inside. Although I knew very well that the pilots in the sky could not find this light at all, it was still necessary to do so just in case.

"Wow..." A harsh air defense alarm sounded at this time, and then more than a dozen searchlight lights from a distance shone into the sky, and anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns also began to roar.

"Chief of Staff! Hurry up, follow me into the air-raid shelter!" The health officer Xiao Zhao hurriedly ran in, helped me and walked out the door.
Chapter completed!
