Chapter 112 Mice Pond

Not long after, several Jiefang trucks were parked at the entrance of the tunnel. Several militiamen carrying stretchers jumped down from the rear compartment of the car. They rushed into the tunnel under the guidance of Liu Yun and his health workers, and placed the wounded one by one on the stretcher and carried them away.

"Take care! Battalion Commander!"

"We're waiting for you in the back!"

"There will be a period later! You must be drunk with us for three days!"

...

When the stretcher passed by me, the soldiers rushed to shake hands and say goodbye to me. The migrant workers carrying the stretcher were also very understanding and would deliberately stop for a while when they passed by me.

"Battery Commander..." At this time, a soldier covered in a blanket struggled to sit up when he passed by me.

I quickly got up to meet him, stretched out my hand and said, "Comrade! Don't get up..."

The soldier was stunned when he looked at my right hand that stretched out. After a while, he stretched out his right hand from under the blanket tremblingly... but it was a broken arm wrapped in a bandage, and the snow-white bandage was covered with red blood everywhere.

I was stunned and quickly retracted my right hand and stretched out my left hand.

The soldier hesitated for a while and finally took out another hand from the blanket... also a broken arm wrapped in a bandage.

I stared at the warrior blankly, patted his shoulder speechlessly, nodded heavily to him, and said two words with a sob: "Take care!"

"Yes!" The soldier lay on a stretcher and saluted me with his broken arm...

I gritted my teeth and stopped my tears from falling off, and replied to the soldier with a military salute. However, my tears could be held back, and the militia carrying stretchers couldn't help it, and they all cried loudly.

"Comrades!" Seeing the car start the motor and then slowly start, I couldn't help but chase them out and shouted loudly: "Go back and recover, and leave it to us to fight the Japanese devils!"

"Goodbye to battalion commander!"

"Goodbye, comrades!"

"We are waiting for good news for victory!"

...

The wounded waved at us over and over again until the car turned a corner at the end of the road and lost its trace.

"Captain Cui!" After a while, Liu Yuncai's eyes were red and he advised: "Let's go back! They will have to take care of them in the hospital, and you still have to take care of your injuries!"

"Oh!" I sighed, knowing that although the medical conditions in this era were much better than when they resisted the U.S. aggression and aided Korea, they were still far inferior to those of modern times. After these seriously injured soldiers returned, they might not say how many people would die on the operating table or become disabled for life... But what can I do? This is the price of war!

I returned silently, letting Liu Yun treat the wound on me, and only thought about the scenes of parting with the soldiers in my mind, and sometimes it flashed by Liu Shunyi, Captain Chu, Xiaoshandong, the old squad leader... and many comrades who had fought together. How great would it be if I could boil a pot of wine and stir-fry a few dishes with them, and then chat a few words! But now such a small thing is out of reach for me...

I don’t know how long I thought about it, but as a burst of fatigue came, I closed my eyes and fell asleep without realizing it.

I was awakened by the sound of cannons coming from afar. I turned over and sat up. I was stunned for a while and couldn't figure out what the situation was... I remember, I was still in the tunnel just now, right now, but I was in the house? It was just dawn just now, but it was pitch black around now...

I felt someone breathing beside me, and I reached out and touched a military cap. My fingers touched a few strands of long hair on the edge of the hat, and I quickly retracted my hand.

"Um! Are you awake?" It was Liu Yun's voice. She seemed to be asleep by the bed. I woke up at this moment, so I just tidied up my hair, then lit a match and lit the kerosene lamp.

For some reason, when I saw Liu Yun's face beating in the flames, I suddenly felt a little warmth in my heart. It felt like I had a home myself.

What is home? Home is a safe haven. With home, there is no need to be windy, sun and rain outside, nor to worry about gunfire outside! No matter what you are killed outside, I can also sleep with a woman at home...

Damn! What are I thinking?

I got it, it was the injuries on my body that made me feel my fragility. In order to distract myself, I hurriedly found a topic: "Where am I? What's the situation now?"

"We have moved to the second line!" Liu Yun took care of the hair falling from his forehead and looked at me sleepyly and said, "Because we fought a beautiful battle in the Qiqiong River Bridge area, and the fight was very difficult and the soldiers were very tired, so the superiors asked him to temporarily withdraw and rest. However, due to the tight war, we retreated not far, so here is the North District of Shan...

He opened his mouth and yawned, and Liu Yun continued, "But don't worry, this place is very safe. Commander Chu said that this is a dead corner of artillery fire, and the enemy's shells cannot hit here!"

"Well! Chu Tuan... Commander!" I was stunned when I heard this and asked, "Has he been?"

"Well! This place was arranged by Commander Chu." Liu Yun nodded and smiled at me.

I have to admit that Liu Yun smiled very well, with two deep dimples on the left and right, with his eyebrows raised and his eyes curled like crescent moons.

"What are you looking at?" After I looked at it for a while, Liu Yun couldn't help feeling embarrassed and diverted his gaze to avoid my eyes.

"Um!" Only then did I realize my incompetence and quickly withdrew my gaze.

"Why don't you go to bed?" I asked, "I'm just a little bit of a wound, so you, the young lady, don't need to accompany me alone!"

"Is it still a minor injury?" Liu Yun raised his mouth and said, "Do you know how long you have been in a coma?"

"How long has it been?" Looking at Liu Yun's tone, I seemed to have been sleeping for more than one day.

"You've been in bed for two days!"

"What?" I looked disbelief. It seemed to be just a blink of an eye to me. I didn't expect that two days had passed.

"Your wound is infected, and you've been having a high fever!" Liu Yun showed some strange expressions on his face, and then he leaned closer and said, "Captain Cui... When you have a fever, you kept calling someone else's name, such as Commander Chu, Jin Qiu, etc.... I can't even hear it clearly! By the way, I've even called my dad's name, I can hear it clearly. Liu Shunyi and Liu Shunyi's call... It's like my dad is your subordinate..."

As he said that, Liu Yun laughed "giggled", which made me sweat coldly.

"How can it be? Your father is the commander of the army, I am just a small battalion commander..." I was a little embarrassed and asked again, "No one can hear it!"

Liu Yun smiled and shook his head, and whispered: "Does there be a ghost in his heart?"

"What the hell can I feel in my heart?" I felt a little guilty.

"Did my dad tell you something?" Liu Yun approached step by step.

"Well!" I think Liu Yun had a little misunderstanding.

"Let me tell you!" Liu Yun's face looked particularly red under the fire of the kerosene lamp. She looked at no one around, then lowered her voice and said, "My dad...he has mentioned you to me... Ask me, how are you?"

"What?" Only then did I make sure that Liu Shunyi really had that meaning.

Although this is nothing wrong, Liu Yun is very beautiful and virtuous and capable. After marrying her, she is the son-in-law of the commander. In this era of rampant relationships, if I get to this point and my own military achievements and abilities, it is not impossible to do a career.

But I always feel...I feel like I am from Liu Shunyi's generation, I always think that Liu Shunyi is my comrade-in-arms, so Liu Yun is my next generation, so I feel a little awkward.

But I think it’s a bit funny. The fact is that I was not born at this time, I’m afraid Liu Yun will be more than ten years older than me and twenty years old!

Just when I didn't know how to respond, there were a few knocks outside the house. Liu Yun hurriedly stood up and pretended to check the infusion bottle at the head of the bed.

Ariel Yichen deliberately "huh" at the door, then brought a bowl of porridge into my bed, looked at Liu Yun with a little angrily, and joked: "I have woken up a long time ago, and I don't come here early. I just care about my own kindness..."

"You..." Liu Yun then realized that Ariel Yichen had known that she was talking inside. He couldn't help but blush and secretly punched Ariel Yichen, and then took the opportunity to snatch the door and fled.

"I'll tell you!" After Liu Yun left, Ariel Chan smiled and said to me: "I have been thinking that Liu Yun is my sister since I was a child, and you can't bully her in the future!"

"What?" I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I might have feelings for Liu Yun. But I knew in my heart that I always regarded Liu Shunyi as my sister because of her comrade-in-arms. It was okay if I didn't say it to drive it before, but now I feel a little awkward when I say it.

But at this time I couldn't understand so much. I picked up the porridge at the head of the bed and drank it clean. Then I felt sleepy and crawled up again, so I fell asleep again.

"How was he injured?"

"It's nothing serious! It's not suitable to go to the battlefield again recently, otherwise the wound may break!"

I heard a voice vaguely and talked again. I opened my eyes and saw Commander Chu right in front of me... No! It should be Commander Chu, so I hurriedly sat up and stood up and said, "Report to Commander Chu, I'm fine! Please assign tasks to you!"

But no matter how hard I said, the wounds on my body still hurt a little, and after a few days of burning, my whole body felt soft and unenergible.

"Yeah!" Commander Chu nodded with approval, patted my shoulder and said, "It's a hard bone! Our army needs soldiers like you!"

After hearing this, my eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet. I remember that Commander Chu said this to me on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The difference was that he was still the regiment commander at that time, and I was just a soldier.

I know Commander Chu very well. I still remember the first time I saw him, he had just finished surgery because of appendicitis and couldn't stand the pain. When marching, he asked a guard to pull another guard in front and push him behind. In this case, he kept up with the troops...

It is precisely because he himself is a "hard bone", that he particularly appreciates the "hard bone" that dares to fight and rush.

"Captain Cui!" Just as I was stunned, Captain Wu stood up from behind, held my hand excitedly and said, "Captain Chu is not here to assign tasks to you, but to come to see you and bring you good news!"

"Oh, good news?" I asked, "We're winning the battle again?"

"You react very quickly!" Commander Chu laughed and said, "You guessed it right! In order to prevent our army from continuing to attack Hanoi, Vietnamese reinforcements have entered Lang Sang San South District. Now at least 20,000 Vietnamese troops are confronting our army across the river, trying to use Qiqiong River as a defense line to block our army's footsteps. But what they did not expect was that this was the purpose of our battle. Our 637th Regiment took the Kodangshan and cut off the Vietnamese army's retreat in one fell swoop. Now... the Vietnamese army has more than 20,000 people surrounded by us in Lang Sang San South District!"

"Hey!" Battalion Commander Wu said with unsatisfactory: "Captain Cui, you don't know! The comrades of the 637th Regiment took the battle of Kudangshan and fought beautifully! It turned out that it was fake that their position was taken away by the enemy. They had already buried explosives in the dangerous caves and positions in Kudangshan and set up hidden lines. When we attacked, we just need to put these hidden lines a little... with a bang, and before the Yue Japanese understood what was going on, they took Kudangshan back in one breath!"

"You have to say this!" Commander Chu looked at Battalion Commander Wu with a smile, and said angrily: "Do you know who came up with this plan?"

"Who?" Battalion Commander Wu was asked for some inexplicable reasons.

"It's far away from the sky and close to you!" Commander Chu looked in a good mood and was still keeping a secret in front of Battalion Commander Wu.

"What? Did the commander come up with it?"

"What's the point!" Commander Chu laughed and said, "I'm not that clever! This plan was all come up with Captain Cui!"

"What?" Battalion Chief Wu looked at me with a look of surprise. Liu Yun and Ariel Chen were stunned when they heard it. They never thought that the joint combat plan of these armies was the plan to attack Lang Son, a military important place, was actually done by themselves.

Captain Wu happily pushed me and said, "You boy! You really have bothering!"

"Your plan is very good!" Chief Chu praised: "Although there are great risks, the facts prove that the risk we took is worth it. The losses of the Japanese devils are so great. They originally wanted to surround our army, but they didn't expect that they accidentally let us surround them!"

"Captain Chu is too rewarded!" I didn't dare to win all the credit alone, so I gave in and said: "This is actually... the plan I made together with Commander Liu!"

"Oh!" Hearing my words, Liu Yun and Yichen showed a look that way. They obviously thought of me going to the military headquarters to meet Chief Liu.

So after a while, Ariel Yichen looked at me with a little admiration. It seemed that she could have stopped me at this time that I was not just a shrimp soldier and crab general who could use some clever tricks on the battlefield. Liu Yun was even more happy. If it weren't for the presence of Commander Chu and others, I would have laughed out loud on the spot.

"It's not easy! Young man!" Commander Chu patted my shoulder again and said, "He has such good skills and a promising future at a young age! Healing his injuries can only serve the motherland better!"

"Yes!" I stood up and responded.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "Captain Chu, is the war on the front line not going very smoothly?"

Regarding this, I thought of it when Captain Chu still has time to see me. If the war goes well, our army should have already entered the Southern District of Langshan. At that time, Chu Jun was probably plagued by various tasks and was thinking about how to kill the enemy and how to defeat the Southern District. And he still has the leisure to joke with us now, which shows that the battle has temporarily entered a deadlock.

Sure enough, Commander Chu nodded, then looked at Liu Yun and others standing next to him.

Liu Yun and others were clever and found an excuse and retreated.

"One is because there are many foreign journalists and people in the South District of Lang Son!" After Liu Yun and others went out, Commander Chu said thoughtfully: "Our army is afraid of weapons and cannot use artillery fire to bomb widely! The other is because the Vietnamese army is familiar with the terrain and has arranged quite a few tanks in the South District. Our army is not familiar with the terrain. However, the troops who suddenly passed by were circling around like entering a maze, and then they were all caught in the ambush in Vietnam and suffered heavy casualties!"

"What's even more annoying is that the Japanese invaders are still stubborn!" Battalion Commander Wu continued: "They refused to admit that Lang San had fallen, and were still bragging to the whole world, saying that they blocked our army's attack in the area of ​​Kumashan! Later, I caught a few prisoners and asked them about this. They said that Lang San's South District is an old district, and this northern district is a newly developed place, which is not considered Lang San City. Do you think it's annoying?"

It sounds a bit funny when I heard it. Even if Lang Son is divided into old districts and new districts, and even if the northern district does not belong to Lang Son, the Vietnamese military should have known that they are already surrounded by our army! They should also know that if we were not because of the foreign journalists and Vietnamese people in Jidan Nan District, we would have blown them to ashes!

But even so, they can still say such words, which is really not admirable for their shame.

But... how to fight this battle now? The reality before us is that we cannot use artillery fire to razor Lang Son to the ground, which will put our country in a very disadvantageous position in politics. This makes us have to send ground troops to fight head-on with the Vietnamese army...

I understand the methods of the Japanese invaders. They can turn every inch of land into a trap or minefield in a very short time. Not only will our army not be familiar with the terrain, but we will also be subject to restraint everywhere.
