Chapter 55 Reality
"Liu Yun! Liu Yun..." As soon as the unconscious female soldier woke up, she panicked and shouted to her side: "Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy? I don't want to be a prisoner, I don't want to be a prisoner...I want to go back..."
"It's okay! It's okay!" The female soldier named Liu Yun hugged the awakened female soldier in a crying voice, patted her back and comforted her: "The enemy has been beaten away, we are saved!"
"The enemy was beaten away? We were saved?"
"Yes! We are saved!"
The female soldier who had just woken up seemed a little disbelief, raised her head and looked around. It took a long time to see the surrounding Vietnamese corpses and the river water dyed red, and immediately looked nauseous again.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel funny. They were all from the field hospital? If I saw the corpse being vomited like this, then the field hospital should not be treated. But then, the "fresh" corpse that was just beaten to death on the battlefield seems to be a little different from the corpse in the hospital. They were "punished" by me, and the two little girls were watching with their own eyes... No wonder they were scared like this!
I turned around and walked downstream of the river, and I heard two female soldiers behind me talking in a low voice:
"He killed these enemies alone?"
"Well! You fainted just now and didn't see him. He was so cruel to kill people, and he didn't even let the prisoners go..."
"Is that so? Isn't that a violation of discipline?"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I almost laughed out loud when I heard this. I thought these two girls would kill them to silence them when they were afraid that they would report it!
I didn't refute, and walked to the last Vietnamese army in a few steps, and pulled the military spear nailed to his neck hard... Maybe it was because he was stuck, so he raised his head and then fell back into the water and started a burst of blood...
Now the two female soldiers could no longer hold it back and vomited out again with a "wow" sound!
While putting away the military sect, I walked back slowly, pointed to the river water with blood and brains under my feet and sarcastically said to the two female soldiers: "I said to female soldiers, you may not have taken enough baths! Do you want to come down and take a shower?"
"What do you mean?" the female soldier who had just woken up asked with a cold face.
"What do I mean?" I have always had no good feelings for these people who acted as a high-ranking official and enjoyed privileges for granted, so I was not polite in my tone: "Think about it yourself! Just take a shower for you so much time, how many people have we sacrificed? How much danger has it added to us? I almost lost my life. Do you understand? That's what I mean!"
"You..." The female soldier who just woke up was speechless as soon as I said this. After all, all the things I said were true, and the casualties of the soldiers were obvious. Any rebuttal of her was obviously an excuse.
But it was precisely because she did not refute that my hostility towards her was reduced. After all, she did not make excuses to rude herself. At least she also showed respect for those casualties!
"Liu Yun! Let's go..." The female soldier struggled to get up from the ground, glared at me fiercely and said, "We shouldn't drag the other troops here, let's go..."
"April Chen..." The female soldier called Liu Yun looked at me at a loss, then looked at her companion who was firm and staggering. After chasing for a few steps, she turned around and said to me in a hurry: "I'm sorry! Comrade, my comrades-in-arms have this temper. Thank you for saving us. Can you tell me what your name is?"
I smiled and replied bluntly: "Thank you, I don't have to. If you no longer sacrifice the lives of us soldiers next time, I will be very satisfied!"
"You..." Liu Yun was so angry that he couldn't speak when I said this. He stomped his feet hard and chased Yichen.
Only then did I have the opportunity to look at these two female soldiers. Because it was very dark and their long hair was washed away by water, I couldn't see their appearance clearly. I only felt from my back that they had a good figure. But by all, those high-ranking officials who had never done any heavy farm work since childhood were not much worse than that.
"Bang bang..." At this time, several gunshots came from the shore, which made the two female soldiers fall to the ground as soon as their legs were weak, and they also scared me. Only then did I remember that because I was worried that the Vietnamese military agents would go up the riverbed, they ordered the soldiers to kill all those who climbed up from the riverbed. So I hurriedly shouted to the intercom: "It's your own people, don't shoot! The Vietnamese military has been cleaned up! Repeat, it's your own people, don't shoot!"
"Yes!" The soldiers' responses came from the walkie-talkie.
"Are you okay?" I asked the two female soldiers with fear. If they died under the Vietnamese agents, that would be fine. If they died at the hands of their own people... Then the trouble would be not as simple as dismissal!
"I can't die!" A voice of hatred gritted teeth came from above, and then I saw two female soldiers walking towards the jeep in anger... So I felt relieved.
When the jeep drove towards our army's garrison with a ton of dust, we began to clean the battlefield.
Naturally, I didn't need to worry about this kind of problem. I retrieved my rifle on the river bank, checked it roughly and sat on the ground to rest. Although the battle just now was only a few minutes, those few minutes were approaching the edge of life and death several times. I admit that those Vietnamese troops were not easy to deal with, so to say... As long as the distance I calculated was a little deviation, then the two female soldiers and I would have another fate.
So after this battle, I was not physically tired, but mentally tired, a kind of fatigue that survived the disaster... or more importantly, I was tired of winning by chance!
"Captain Cui!" At this time, the hometown man walked to me, sat beside me, nodded and said, "Good job! When you rushed up alone, I was still wondering if you were too arrogant! But now I know that you are not. But..."
"But what?" I said: "Just say whatever you have! They are all brothers, and there is nothing you can't say!"
"Yeah!" A little excitement flashed in the eyes of the hometown people, and they were silent for a while before continuing: "Your personality is just too straightforward. In this society, there are many things that are not something that can be done by relying on skills alone. Do you understand?"
After pausing, the people from the hometown continued to say with great sincerity: "Do you know what a good opportunity you missed just now? You saved those two female soldiers! Who are those two female soldiers? I don't think I need to say you understand! But there is only such a great opportunity... You say... Alas!"
After sighing heavily, the people in my hometown felt unsatisfied and shook their heads helplessly: "Now, even if you saved the two female soldiers, it was a great contribution, but you offended them! You don't know the woman's aura, and you will sue you this time... For example, improper command will allow Vietnamese agents to break into the encirclement; for example, serious command errors almost caused the female soldiers to accidentally hurt them... These are all said by people. You have to pick the bones in the eggs and your great contributions can be said to be a sin! I said, Company Commander Cui, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the soldiers under your command!"
"What does this have to do with the soldiers?" I couldn't help but feel a little confused when I heard it.
In fact, I don’t understand the principles that my hometown people say. There have been too many such things in modern times, so that today’s society believes that it is a standard of being a human being. If you do not agree with this standard of being a human being or do not follow this standard, you will be labeled as “not being able to be a human being”, “just work hard” or even “immature enough”.
And the people around you will teach me earnestly: "Young people! If you spend a while in society, you will understand! Sometimes being a human being is more important than having the ability..."
The fact is true. Real life is often the high position for those who are welcome and can clearly understand the superiority, while those who are capable and capable can only attack or be excluded. This is also the reason why I am still an irrelevant pawn despite my achievements in the journalist industry.
It’s not that I don’t understand these principles, nor that I’m not mature enough, but that I can’t do anything about my personality. I can say things against my will and do things against my will in order to get ahead. I feel awkward to think about such things, let alone do them!
"Of course it's related!" The hometown people replied without thinking: "Company Commander, think about it, did you take us to complete many tasks after becoming our company commander? Have you saved a lot of losses for our troops? Have you saved many precious lives of many soldiers?"
I nodded without hesitation. I did not deny this. Facts are facts. There is no need for me to be humble in front of my comrades who share life and death.
"That's right!" said the hometown man: "Company Commander, think about it, your ability is obvious to all. If you can become a bigger cadre, such as a battalion commander or regiment commander, then you can command more people and play a greater role in the battlefield. Does that mean you can save more people?"
I couldn't help but feel silent as I heard what the people in my hometown said, as if what he said was indeed reasonable.
"On the other hand..." The hometown person continued: "If you offend the two female soldiers in order to fight for a while, it seems to be relieved on the surface, but in fact? If your company commander was withdrawn because of this, what role could you play? What if your superiors even surrender your sniper rifle? How many more can you kill the Japanese devils?"
I was stunned when I heard this. Something I have never agreed with has been made today, but today I have changed my attitude from another perspective.
In fact, with my personality, I could have been able to survive in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, because New China had just been established at that time, and almost everyone had a spirit of selfless dedication. Everything depends on ability and strength. But time has passed, and now it has reached the era of self-defense counterattack against Vietnam. However, I still use the mentality of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea to survive in this society decades later. It is obviously a bit inappropriate.
As the saying goes, follow the customs. Now the whole society is like this. If I want to save a few more soldiers in this society, it will play a greater role. It is indeed as the people in my hometown said - I cannot hope that the whole society will adapt to me, but that I should adapt to this society!
"But..." Seeing me silent, the hometown man patted my shoulder and said, "I still said that as long as you fight well, I will take on other things for you! Don't worry, no matter who they are, it is not that easy to reverse right and wrong!"
"Yeah!" I nodded. Having people from my hometown assisted me in my team really saved me a lot of trouble.
"Report to the company commander!" At this time, several soldiers came to me and reported: "The battlefield has been cleaned up, with a total of 95 Vietnamese corpses. Our army died twelve people, seriously injured five people, and slightly injured twenty people!"
I nodded with satisfaction. Such a casualty ratio is a major victory for our army in any case. The Vietnamese army not only failed to achieve the strategic goal they expected, but also paid a heavy price. What's more... these Vietnamese army are well-trained agents. This time they can be said to be a failure to steal chickens and lose the rice!
"Report to the company commander!" At this time, a communication soldier ran to me and reported: "Captain Zhao's order, let us return to the camp immediately and listen to his tone..."
I looked at the people in my hometown and knew what the communications soldiers had not finished saying meant.
After returning to the station with the troops, I immediately brought the deputy company commander to the regiment headquarters. As expected, the situation was as we thought, and the faces of Captain Zhao and Political Commissar Huang were both ugly.
"What did you do?" As soon as he saw me come in, Commander Zhao frowned and said to me, "What happened? Why did the two female soldiers who were asked to protect you look like that?"
"Yes! Company Commander Cui!" Political Commissar Huang asked uneasyly: "Tell me what happened, is it... what did the Yue Japanese do to the female soldiers?"
The words of Captain Zhao and Political Commissar Huang surprised me. Along the way, I thought it must be those two girls who sued me in front of Captain Zhao, but I didn't expect that they didn't say anything... It seems that they are quite conscientious!
"Report to the regiment commander, political commissar!" I saluted the commander Zhao and political commissar Huang and said, "Don't worry, what happened to the two female soldiers in the Western Japanese? When the Western Japanese crossed our defense line to capture the female soldiers, they had already put on their clothes..."
"What?" Hearing this, Captain Zhao and Political Commissar Huang were shocked.
Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Huang looked at each other, and came to me in a mess, asking, "What did you do? You asked me not to send reinforcements. You promised to complete the mission, right? Will the Vietnamese agents break through your defense line? And let them capture female soldiers?"
"Report to the regiment commander!" At this time, the deputy company commander came up to speak out for me: "The Vietnamese Japanese broke into our defense line from the river. Our army did not deploy defense on the river according to the order, and the river did not allow us to deploy defense, otherwise the two female soldiers..."
The deputy company commander stopped and stopped talking when he said this, but anyone knew what he meant, that was, those two female soldiers were not allowed to show them all!
"No matter what..." Commander Zhao's face darkened and he said to me fiercely: "You still let the female soldiers become prisoners, right? This is how you complete the mission? This is how you protect the female soldiers?"
"Report to the regiment commander!" The deputy company commander couldn't help but stand up again and said, "The female soldiers were captured for only a few minutes. Captain Cui was alone and took risks. Not only did he successfully rescue two female soldiers, but he also killed five Vietnamese agents..."
"This is not your share!" Commander Zhao was a little annoyed by the deputy company commander's robbery. He glared at the deputy company commander fiercely and shouted loudly at the deputy company commander: "I'll let you speak again when you speak, do you understand?"
"Report to the regiment commander!" At this time, I stood up and said, "The task you gave me is to protect the safety of the two female soldiers. Now the two female soldiers have returned safely, that is, they are not injured or insulted by the Vietnamese army. We have also successfully repelled the attack of the Vietnamese agents. So I think we have completed the mission, and our company successfully completed the mission with the lives of the twelve soldiers! If Captain Zhao thinks I am not doing well enough, it is my business that has nothing to do with the soldiers! I accept the punishment from my superiors..."
As I said that, I placed my armed belt with a pistol and a sniper rifle on the desk of the regiment headquarters.
I was the one who offended those two girls. I didn’t want the company’s soldiers to be criticized for it, and I also didn’t want the company’s soldiers to be affected by it. Didn’t there be a division commander who was dismissed because of the attack by Vietnamese agents in the field troops and died after several female soldiers? I don’t want such a thing to happen again in our team.
"Captain Cui!" The regiment headquarters was silent for a long time before Political Commissar Huang arrested the weapon on the table and handed it to me and said, "This matter... you are indeed a little wrong! After all, you let the Vietnamese army break into the defense line and captured the female soldiers. But you still did a good job. I believe that no one can do this in this situation! However... we must obey the arrangements of our superiors and follow the opinions of our superiors. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, I understand!" I nodded.
Political Commissar Huang actually told me that he admitted my credit, but he could not control the punishment he was punished by his superiors. Although this still cannot change the result, it is no longer easy to achieve this step.
At this time, a correspondent handed the walkie-talkie to Captain Zhao and said, "It's the commander!"
Captain Zhao couldn't help but change his face, and hesitated to take the microphone...
