Chapter 212: 637 Highland

Chapter 212: 637 Highland

The injuries on my body were not serious, and the doctors and nurses often changed the dressings for me, gave me a drip, and of course Liu Yun's careful care, so it almost healed within two days. However, the pinching injury on my neck did not heal so quickly, and my head turned a little at an angle and hurt. Moreover, it always bothered me at night. In the past two days, I often felt squeezing my neck and woke up in my sleep, or just saw my mouth full of blood...

Early that morning, when I woke up from my sleep again, I found that Liu Yun was no longer on the bed next to me.

I don’t know whether Liu Yun was due to Liu Shunyi’s order or other reasons. She almost never left her in the past few days when I was lying on the hospital bed. Even at night, she set up a simple bamboo bed next to me and slept in my room.

I remember that I said to her at that time: "Don't care about Commander Liu's order. He just said it casually. If you really don't execute the order, he will turn a blind eye..."

"That won't work!" Liu Yun replied with a red face and said in a low voice: "Don't say that my father never allowed me to disobey orders. What if you are hungry at night or have any needs... If no one is next to you, what should I do? Let my father know that he has to kick me out of here!"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, what else can I need? I slept well here and had two guards standing at the door... In addition to physical needs, I basically just need a mouthful.

But of course I can't say this to Liu Yun. I originally wanted to persuade Liu Yun, but she glared at me a little angrily: "Do you don't like me staying by your side? Besides, my father's orders in front of so many soldiers. If I openly don't execute the orders, wouldn't it embarrass him?"

Thinking about what Liu Yun said makes sense, I stopped saying anything she can do.

But don’t talk about the hardship of being a soldier. We are rarely seen in the battlefield. Two women will have a good girl like Liu Yun and live in the same room. How can we not be moved? Especially I know very well that Liu Shunyi’s order actually means acquiesce...

I thought it was because of two reasons. One was because he knew that Liu Yun and I had a long engagement. This seemed to be no secret in the army. So my soldiers were used to calling Liu Yun a sister-in-law during training. What made me even more amused is that Liu Yun was even very happy to call her like this, and the more the soldiers called her, the happier she was...

Another point is that I think the reason why Liu Shunyi was so anxious to let me live in the same room with Liu Yun was because all the soldiers had today and there would be no tomorrow. Liu Shunyi was also a soldier, so he certainly knew this. It is precisely because of this reason that there are often things like "marriage on the front line" in the army.

The so-called "marriage on the front line" means that the family introduces the object of the soldiers in the army. The woman came to the army just to see what the people were like, but at this time an unexpected result often occurs... When the woman came to the army, the soldiers were as tacitly as if they were unanimously dealing with the Vietnamese Japanese on the battlefield. However, this time the enemy was not the hateful Vietnamese army, but the big girl who came to see the people. Her weapons were not bayonets and rifles, but the soldiers' sugar-coated shells...

The soldiers praised the soldiers who went on blind dates, that there were only those in the sky and those on the ground, and even the company commander and battalion commander would join in the fun together. What kind of promotion is this, what kind of contribution is made, and what kind of care is there... and how can you describe a great prospect of life in front of the woman.

Moreover, the soldiers have traditional and experienced doing this. Generally, they don’t mention “marriage on the front line” in the first few days. They just wait very carefully, and they respond to whatever they want. Then they enthusiastically try to keep the woman for a few more days. In this case, of course, the woman agreed and agreed. In a few days, the company commander or friend would carefully propose marriage... Girls often agree with one heart, so the lights are decorated... It is not only a wedding for a couple who have successfully dated, but also a celebration of the soldiers' victory!

Of course, there is no need for such a troublesome process between Liu Yun and me. I believe that as long as I say something or mention it to Liu Shunyi, Liu Yun and I will soon be able to handle the wedding in the military camp. But I don’t think it is suitable to do this. Even I can’t explain the reason clearly. Maybe it’s because it’s not good to do this in front of Lin Xue, or maybe it’s because I don’t want to harm Lin Xue and Liu Yun again... In short, I feel a lot of conflicts in my heart. Sometimes I hate myself a little, why can I do so simply and forge ahead on the battlefield, but I can’t let go of my feelings...

"Are you awake?" While I was thinking about it, Liu Yun brought another bowl of hot porridge and a few plates of side dishes to me and said, "Why don't you sleep for a while? When you wake up, eat while it's hot. After you finish eating, get up and walk. It's not good for your health to be lying there anyway!"

"Yeah!" I nodded to Liu Yun gratefully, took her and handed it over to the hot porridge.

Then she sat beside her and introduced to me with a hug, "My father specifically explained the eggs. There are also this plate of meat, which is the wild boar meat beat by the soldiers. I beat several of them, and there are still a few wild game I can't call out. The soldiers said that I'll stew you and the injured comrades to replenish your body!"

The wild game in this era can be said to be everywhere. Even ordinary hunters will catch a lot of pheasants, wild boars, etc., let alone soldiers from our special reconnaissance brigade. However, for the sake of the concealment of our troops and bases, Commander Liu has been reluctant to let us go up the mountain to hunt. Maybe this is just for the sake of our wounded people!

Eating the delicious food in front of me, I thought to myself: Maybe this will be the life of Liu Yun and I in the future... I might be like Lin Xue as a staff officer or instructor who doesn't have to go to the battlefield, so Liu Yun will take care of his family. Now that I think about this kind of life is pretty good. I have lived a long life of fighting and killing, and I really want to live such a peaceful life...

"By the way!" Liu Yun said excitedly again: "Do you know? The Vietnamese army in the direction of Faka Mountain has retreated, and we have won!"

"Really?" I couldn't help but stop the chopsticks after hearing this.

"Of course it's true!" Liu Yun said with a smile: "I heard from my father that this battle was thanks to you to achieve a comprehensive victory. Otherwise, we would probably pay a heavy price because of insufficient estimates of the Vietnamese army! The Vietnamese Japanese have been beaten up by us now. It is said that there are more than 4,000 corpses left on the battlefield. This is not the case with several artillery brigades that the Vietnamese Japanese were destroyed by our artillery troops..."

After pausing, Liu Yun continued, "The Yue Japanese are really unreasonable, because there are too many corpses on the battlefield. We sent a leaflet to ask the Yue Japanese to collect the corpses. We asked them to shoot the Red Cross Flag with less than fifty people and not to bring weapons. As a result, the Yue Japanese came with six or seventy people. Not only did they not shoot the flag, but they also had anti-aircraft machine guns..."

"How did it turn out?" I asked.

"What else can we do?" Liu Yun replied: "After a fire we passed, none of us went back alive! The bodies rotted quickly. Our chemical defense soldiers went up to disinfect them, and then burned them all..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yun couldn't help but pause, then looked at me a little apologetically and said, "I shouldn't have said this, so you can't even eat it..."

"Who said that?" I smiled and shook my head, "What's this? You're just talking about it. Even if I face those corpses on the battlefield now, I still eat the same thing!"

"Report!" At this time, a correspondent shouted at me at the door: "Captain Cui, Commander of the Army will ask you to go to the battalion headquarters!"

"Um! Come soon!" As I said that, I lifted the quilt and stood up.

Liu Yun was also very well-behaved. She took off her brand new military uniform and cleaned armed belt like a wife and tied it to me. If there was no correspondent standing in front of me, I think I would be unable to help but embrace her in my arms at this time.

"Come back early!" Finally, Liu Yun clamped my collar and explained: "Your injuries have not healed yet, don't stand for too long!"

The moment I stepped out of the room, I suddenly felt like home, and I felt that I was no longer lonely and no longer struggling alone in this world!

"battalion commander!"

"battalion commander!"

...

As we walked along the way, the soldiers were doing morning exercises and returned to the camp to rest. At this time, they saw me standing up and cast admiration at me, and I also nodded to them.

If the soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade were just because of our reputation as the hero camp, then now they truly understand how our camp and our troops fight against the enemy.

"Captain Cui!" A few minutes later, when I stepped into the battalion headquarters, Liu Shunyi and Political Commissar Yang welcomed him enthusiastically: "Your injury is fine!"

"It's okay, it's just some skin trauma!" I replied relaxedly.

Actually, I knew that they would ask this question just a polite thing. In fact, I had known from Liu Yun that Liu Shunyi asked her to report my injuries to him every day. I think this is also the reason why Liu Shunyi would send a correspondent to let me come to the camp department.

"Come on... sit down!" Political Commissar Yang enthusiastically brought me a backrest chair.

"How dare you?" Seeing this, I hurriedly refused: "Where will I have my place in front of the leader..."

"Hey!" Liu Shunyi helped me to the chair without saying a word and said, "Different situations should be treated differently. You are injured now, right? Besides, it is not important for us to let you come this time. I just want to talk to you about the situation in Fakashan!"

"Otherwise!" Lin Xue then moved a few more stools and said, "Everyone sits down and talks, and Battalion Commander Cui will not be under any pressure!"

Lin Xue was still smart. I felt relieved when he saw Liu Shunyi and Political Commissar Yang sitting in front of me. Although Liu Shunyi and Political Commissar Yang did not mind, letting them sit while standing me felt like sitting on pins and needles, it was even more uncomfortable than standing.

"This is the situation!" Political Commissar Yang poured a cup of tea for each of us, and said, "By 10:30 last night, the Vietnamese army began to retreat in full, which means that our army won a comprehensive victory in the Battle of Fakashan!"

"Yes!" Liu Shunyi continued the words of Political Commissar Yang, "The Vietnamese devils lasted for a few days, and finally exhausted last night, their morale was disintegrating, their combat effectiveness was basically lost, and they were no longer able to continue attacking! Speaking of which, it was really not easy for these Vietnamese devils. They could last for so long under the artillery fire of our army!"

"Yes!" Lin Xue also nodded and said, "This gives us a new understanding of the quality of the Vietnamese army, but I think this is also because the Vietnamese army unit that attacked Faka Mountain was selected from the Vietnamese ace troops!"

"Staff Officer Lin is right!" Political Commissar Yang smiled and said, "If the Vietnamese troops had such qualities, they would not have let us fight so badly in the counterattack!"

"But..." After thinking about it, Liu Shunyi said: "According to the current situation, even if the Vietnamese army really has such qualities, we don't have to worry too much! The battle of Faka Mountain is enough to prove that modern warfare is not a victory if it is of good quality or fearlessness of death!"

"That's right!" Lin Xue nodded and said, "In this war, the quality of the Vietnamese army is generally higher than that of ours, and the strength is several times that of ours. But in the end we still won the war. Among them, Battalion Commander Cui and his troops play a role in drawing the sun, but more importantly, our army's powerful artillery unit!"

I have to admit that Liu Shunyi and Lin Xue were right, because I also know that if our army's artillery had not completely suppressed the Vietnamese artillery and killed the Vietnamese army in large numbers, even if there were ten and ten special reconnaissance brigades, we might not have won this battle. There is no doubt that the status of artillery troops in modern warfare is becoming more and more important, and the role and status of infantry are slowly changing. Nowadays, infantry is more like scouts, communication soldiers, and artillery observers, because much of what they have to do is to discover the enemy, and then transmit the enemy's coordinates to the artillery behind them through untrust-free telegrams, so there are many pieces of artillery shells that carry out devastating strikes on the target...

In the case of shells, after our special reconnaissance brigade was withdrawn, our ordinary troops were able to defeat the Vietnamese army's subsequent attack after defending the first line of defense, which actually proved this very strongly.

However, it should be said that air supremacy is more important in modern warfare, but neither side invested in the air force in this battle, so Liu Shunyi and others did not mention these.

"Do you know?" As he said that, Political Commissar Yang took a map and pointed at a location and said to me: "Did you see this 637 highland?"

"Well!" I nodded. Actually, this highland was seen as early as when I was stationed in Highland 142, but it was very far from our defense line. Apart from being very high, it had no military significance or value to the Battle of Faka Mountain, so I didn't take it to heart. At this time, I couldn't help but wonder why Political Commissar Yang talked about this highland. Is there still war on this highland?

Political Commissar Yang's subsequent words quickly confirmed my thoughts: "From late the night before yesterday, the Vietnamese army divided two regiments into attacking the 637 Highland! And regardless of casualties, even if it was exposed to our artillery fire, do you know why this is?"

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. I couldn't help but smile and shook my head.

"I know you can't guess!" Liu Shunyi laughed: "This is the thing. In fact, the Vietnamese army was preparing to take down Faka Mountain in one go, so they concentrated a large number of troops to win with local superior forces. So they not only invested eight regiments of infantry, but also had two artillery divisions!"

"What?" I was shocked when I heard this: "There are two artillery divisions of the Vietnamese Japanese?"

The reason why I was surprised was that I didn't feel how powerful the Vietnamese artillery was on the battlefield, even when our army was completely shot. So now I really can't believe that the artillery troops invested by the Vietnamese Japanese in this battle would be comparable to our artillery troops.

"This is impossible!" After thinking about it, I shook my head and said, "If the Vietnamese Japanese had so many artillery troops, how could our army be able to fully suppress the Vietnamese Japanese on the battlefield? Our artillery even has the ability to blow up and over again and kill a large number of Vietnamese infantry in the valley..."

"I knew you would think so!" Hearing this, Liu Shunyi and Political Commissar Yang couldn't help but smile at each other.

After laughing for a while, Liu Shunyi said to me teasingly: "The Japanese invaders can't figure it out, so they will attack the 637 Highlands at all costs!"

"Oh!" I suddenly realized this and said, "So we have set up an artillery observatory on the 637 Highland!"

Unexpectedly, when I said this, Liu Shunyi, Yang and others laughed even more happily. Even Lin Xue, who had been sitting aside without saying anything, couldn't help but laugh.

"I said to Captain Cui..." Liu Shunyi joked: "What do you think is the same as the Yue Japanese?"

"Isn't it?" I asked in confusion: "Then why can our artillery troops completely overwhelm the enemy artillery? Their troops are no less than us?"

"It's because we have high-tech weapons!" Finally, Liu Shunyi uncovered the answer: "What's the name of that thing... phased array radar, this name is hard to remember. The artillery troops gave it a nice and easy-to-called name, called 'Archite Radar'!"

"Ball-Aim radar?" I couldn't help but feel even more confused when I heard it. Although I am a modern person, it does not mean that my understanding of this war has reached a comprehensive level. For example, I have never heard of this "Ball-Aim radar".

"That's right!" Liu Shunyi nodded and said, "This thing can accurately and quickly calculate the location of the enemy's artillery position. As soon as the Japanese fired, we knew where their artillery position was, so we could completely suppress their artillery!"

"What's ridiculous is that the Japanese invaders don't know this!" Political Commissar Yang continued: "I also invested a lot of troops to attack the 637 Highlands, which is meaningless!"

With a coaxing sound, Liu Shunyi and others laughed again.
