blood of vietnam war

Chapter 140: Pre-war Mobilization

"All assembly!"

Early the next morning, just after dawn, we received the order to assemble.

The soldiers came out of the tent nervously, their faces full of doubts.

I know what they are wondering: Isn't this one day before the scheduled start of the war?Why are you gathering at this time?

In other words, because the war will start soon, the most we do in the camp these days is training. This training includes camouflage, building individual bunkers in trenches, etc., but even training is not so early!

The company commander didn't explain anything to us, and directly gave the password: "Stand at attention...turn to the left! Run and go..."

A group of people ran down the mountain in a line, and saw several cars parked on the road, so the soldiers were even more worried. Some soldiers couldn't help but whispered: "This is going to the battlefield? I'm not ready yet Woolen cloth!"

"Yes!" Some soldiers also said worriedly: "I haven't even brought all the bullets with me, so I will say it if I want to fight!"

……

The company commander still didn't answer, but ordered us loudly: "Get in the car!"

The troops are divided into four cars, each car is equipped with a platoon, and the fourth car is equipped with the company headquarters, cooking squad and logistics personnel, so except for a few personnel on duty in the camp, the entire company has been transported in one go .

When the car "boomed" into motion, the soldiers became more and more nervous. Some soldiers even turned pale and trembled, and they looked a little unstable when they stood, and they didn't know whether it was because of motion sickness or what.

"Don't worry!" Seeing this, I couldn't help comforting them, "It's not time to fight yet!"

"Platoon leader, how did you know?" Wu Zhijun and his group of recruits were most concerned about this question, so they immediately asked.

I smiled wryly and shook my head: "Think about it with your head...we are only a dozen miles away from Sabah, do we need to take a car? And we still walk along the road? Isn't that sent up to fight the vietnam? "You don't know the direction the car is driving?"

"Oh!" Hearing what I said, those spirited fighters came to their senses and recognized that the direction of the car was indeed the rear...

So a new question arises:

"Isn't there going to be a war? Why are you taking us to the rear?"

"Is there a new mission?"

"Don't you want to fight?"

……

Recruits!It's just that there are many problems.

But I also know that they don't really want to know the answer to the question, but ask more questions to relieve their fear.What about us who have fought wars?That is to know that it is useless to ask, this battle cannot be escaped.

What I didn't expect was... Our destination turned out to be a field hospital.

The car wobbled all the way to the rear, and finally stopped with a "squeak" after more than half an hour. I jumped out of the car with my soldiers and took a look. Vietnamese Army agents raided the burnt field hospital.

The troops quickly lined up in front of the car, and then marched towards the ruins of the hospital in the order of one, two, three platoons, company headquarters, and logistics.

Walking in front of the team was the instructor, who yelled at us with a small loudspeaker as he walked: "Comrades! This is the field hospital that was attacked by Vietnamese army agents last night. Do you see the burned house in front? In that small room, our containment team found a total of 35 corpses, five of them had gunshot wounds, and the rest were burned alive... We sacrificed a total of 310 six wounded and 45 military doctors. There are also thirteen nurses among them. The Yue Guizi's methods are extremely cruel, even the wounded and female soldiers who are seriously injured lying on the hospital bed... Comrades! The doctors and nurses in the field hospital are all treating the wounded and sick Ah, some of our comrades are still recuperating here, they can be said to be our benefactors..."

I couldn't listen anymore, I just felt a "swish" chill on my face, and sometimes I even felt that the instructor was talking about me.

I really didn't expect to be brought to this place again. I am so familiar with every ward here... That one is the one I lived in, that one belongs to the leader and the others, and this is where Zhang Fan and the nurses live. ...

The memories of the past flooded into my mind like a tide again, which made me a little overwhelmed, even afraid to follow the troops into it.

At this time, one hand held me, and I looked to the side and did not know when Chen Yiyi was standing beside me.

She probably jumped up when it was still dark and no one else was paying attention.She squeezed my hand, her eyes full of encouragement and support.

Then I quickly thought that Chen Yiyi is also a person who has suffered, and compared with her, what is my pain?So he gritted his teeth and followed the troops slowly forward.

Then I quickly discovered that it wasn't just our troops who came here. Cars brought the front-line fighters here one after another. They followed the team around the ruins under the leadership of the instructor just like us. lap.Of course, during the circle, the instructor will detail the tragedy of the battle, and then gather at the sun-drying field to make the final summary.

The summary is the same as what we usually hear, just like our instructor shouted: "Comrades! In the most difficult time in Vietnam, we Chinese tightened our belts and selflessly helped the Vietnamese. Most of the food, clothing, supplies, vehicles, weapons, and ammunition in the country are supplied by our country. Our life is not rich, but in order to let Vietnam break free from the difficulties of imperialist aggression as soon as possible, we still save money. Cut back on food and save up for them!

However, after Vietnam defeated U.S. imperialism with our help, the militarist ideology began to expand rapidly. First, it publicly declared that it was the "third military power in the world", and then drove and persecuted overseas Chinese, and even raised unreasonable territorial demands on China. , claiming that China's Xisha and Nansha Islands are Vietnam's territory, and sent troops to occupy part of the Nansha Islands.

Is it tolerable or unbearable, comrades!The Yue devils are ungrateful and eat their own food. We must teach the Vietnamese revisionists a hard lesson with our heroic battles, and avenge the comrades who died in the field hospital with the blood of the enemy! "

"Down with Vietnamese revisionism!"

"Avenge the comrades in the field hospital!"

……

Then came the slogans one after another, so I understood that this was a pre-war mobilization and ideological education.Its purpose...is to replace the fear in the warriors' hearts with anger.

This fear includes both the fear of the enemy and the fear of killing the enemy.

It should be said that this trick is very effective, because people often do things that they cannot even imagine when they are angry, such as losing their minds when they are angry, or killing people when they are angry... All of them seem to be angry when they are angry. will become a matter of course.

Of course, this education was also very successful, because I clearly felt that the soldiers were different when they went back by car... Everyone was afraid of this and that when they came, and they all scolded the atrocities committed by the Vietnamese army when they returned. .Of course, what they hated and regretted the most was the sacrifice of those dozen nurses.

I just kept silent and licked my wound silently... Sometimes I even thought, if Zhang Fan appeared in front of me again, would I still let her down and reject her like before?

I don't know, I only know that I have identified a person - Cyclops.I believe that only on the day when I kill him, I will feel that I have repaid Zhang Fan's feelings for me a little bit, and I will be worthy of those comrades who died, and I will be worthy of the old dean...

After returning from the field hospital, this ideological work is not over yet.

Immediately afterward, the instructor made some remarks in the heat of the iron, and then wrote the "Letter of War" and "Letter of Determination".

These are very useful for those new recruits who have never fought, like Wu Zhijun and the others... who were terrified not long ago, but now all of them are so excited that they can't wait to go to the battlefield right away, and some soldiers even wrote blood books ...

But for those of us who have been on the battlefield, it seems a little powerless.Because we all know that as soon as we step onto the battlefield, patriotism and meritorious deeds... will appear insignificant, and then we will only think about one thing - kill the enemy and survive!

And for a modern person like me, I don't like this.

At this time, my thought was actually very simple: I was willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, not so much to avenge Zhang Fan and the dead comrades, but to comfort myself and make myself less condemned by conscience.

"Platoon leader, don't you want to write a few words?" Wu Zhijun looked at me holding the gun in a daze, then walked up and asked.

I raised my head, looked at the soldiers who were enthusiastically writing the letter of invitation with pens and paper, and said calmly: "After writing the letter of invitation, don't forget to leave a letter for your family!"

What I said immediately seemed to pour a basin of cold water on the soldiers, and they calmed down and looked at me in a daze.

Maybe they just remembered at this time... yeah, it's time to leave something to the family.

What should I say?

I don't know if I can come back, should I write it as a suicide note or something else?

Only then did the soldiers realize that it seemed much more difficult to leave a message for their family members than to write a letter of invitation or a letter of determination...

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, but in some ways I'm dragging my men back into fear and nostalgia for their families, which of course makes them dread the battle to come.

However, what I hope more is that they can rationally protect and cherish their own lives on the battlefield, instead of rushing forward to face the enemy's bullets as soon as the reserve battalion attacked the tunnel of the Vietnamese army... (To be continued.)
