blood of vietnam war

Chapter 180 Two Going Home

The battle quickly ended with the shouts of the soldiers.

Although in front of us is the 316a Division of the Ace Division of the Vietnamese Army, this unit has long since lost the morale and confidence to win in the battle with us for the pass in the past few days, so it was quickly wiped out by the main force. It fell apart and broke into an army.When I walked up to the 217 Heights again, I saw a large number of Vietnamese soldiers kneeling on the ground and raising their hands to surrender to our army... It seems that the Vietnamese devils are not all killed and will not surrender, but that the time has not come .

Of course, some of the Vietnamese troops escaped into the jungle in time... The terrain of the Vietnam battlefield is like this, and there will always be some loopholes that the enemy will take advantage of at any time.However, these Vietnamese deserters seem to be uncomfortable, because our army quickly attracted a lot of artillery fire to block and shoot at the loophole...

The soldiers under my command and I know the effect of the shells hitting the forest, so we know very well that few of the Vietnamese deserters will be able to escape completely.

It's just that all of this is not what I care about, because it doesn't matter how many enemies die, what matters is how many people in our army can survive until this moment to see victory.

Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, I was still stunned when I walked up to the top of the mountain and saw the corpses all over the ground: there were only [-] or [-] people left in a company, and the front and rear of the trenches were full of comrades. Although the corpses could not be named, most of them were familiar people.What's worse is that many of them still have unswallowed bark in their mouths, some are biting green grass, and some martyrs' intestines are full of wild vegetables and weeds...

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes and experienced it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that all of this would be true... There are really people who are still fighting the enemy desperately and fighting in this situation. I used to think that it was an exaggeration and artistic treatment of the movie That's all.

Seeing us coming up, dozens of surviving soldiers including Captain Luo and Dao Scar surrounded us from all directions and hugged us tightly.

No cheers, no jumps.

The soldiers just hugged each other speechlessly, their faces full of tears unknowingly.

When it comes to why we cry, maybe we are not very clear about it... Maybe it is because we have won, maybe it is because we are still alive, maybe it is because of those comrades who died, or there are mixed feelings in all aspects.

I only know that at that moment, I kept repeating a sentence in my heart: war is cruel, war is cruel...

I seem to be using this sentence to tell myself or I can also say that I am convincing myself... This is how war should be, and I should accept this reality.

However, things are always easier said than done. If you really stand on this battlefield and face a large number of corpses and experience the familiar people dying one by one, you will naturally feel a kind of shock and a kind of fear in your heart. .

The shock comes from the tragic sacrifice of the soldiers, and the fear comes from the breath of death on the battlefield.

In a short while, Commander Liu of our army walked up to the 217 Heights under the protection of the guards. In his eyes, I could clearly see a kind of shock... I believe that it was when he saw the rows of people in the canyon. The only feeling after the rows of tank wrecks and the densely packed corpses of Vietnamese soldiers on the 217 Heights.

If this is changed to other battlefields, I am afraid that it is difficult for our army to achieve such a result even with several times the superior force, but we have achieved it with four companies, especially the enemy is the 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army, and its strength Also several times more than me.

"Comrades have worked hard!" Head Liu shook hands with us one by one, wanting to say something, but seeing that there were only so few people left in our company, he couldn't say anything in the end. The teeth kept nodding towards us.

Then the main force continued to sweep out the remnants of the enemy in the pass area, and soon after cleaning the battlefield, they pointed the finger at the besieged Sabah.

The Vietnamese army staying in Sabah originally wanted to fight to the death, but after knowing that the main force had been wiped out by our army, they soon realized that they had no hope and the meaning of continuing to fight, so they raised their hands against our army a few hours later. up the white flag.

But all this is not our concern, because we will soon be transferred to the second line with the help of the militia...

The reason why the help of the militia is needed is because the soldiers are too tired, have not had a good sleep for a few days and are still fighting hungry... This kind of physical exertion is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and even many soldiers are seeing At that moment, the main force went limp and passed out on the spot.

The other soldiers and I were not much better. After wolfing down a few biscuits and mixing some water, we leaned against the trench beside us and fell asleep.

Actually... At that time, I didn't know whether I passed out or fell asleep, because I didn't even know that I was carried by the militia on a stretcher and sent to the second line... When I woke up, I found that I was placed in the In a private house.

The moment I opened my eyes, I couldn't figure out the situation for a long time. I vaguely heard a burst of cheers outside, and couldn't help jumping up in surprise. When I saw Scar and the others who were also awakened beside me Only then did I feel relieved.

"What is this place?" Captain Luo was the first to ask, but no one could answer.

"How long have we been sleeping?" Scar opened his jerky eyes: "Why are you still cheering outside... the battle just ended?"

"That's right!" Company Commander Luo was also a little puzzled: "I also feel that I slept comfortably this time, why did they scream when I slept, but they are still screaming when I wake up!"

We found out later that we had been sleeping here for a full day and night... This cheering has another meaning.

The soldiers and I opened the door in doubt and walked out, but for no reason, we were hugged by the soldiers outside, only to hear them shouting constantly: "Victory, victory...".

Scar looked at them in disbelief and said, "What's there to be happy about? Isn't it just a victory?"

However, those soldiers kept shouting and jumping, and some even threw their hats high into the air... Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out just seeing us.

"Comrade, you don't know yet!" A soldier ran up to us excitedly and said, "We have won, we can go home..."

"Have you taken down Sabah?" Scar was still a little unclear, so he said, "As for..."

But he was stunned when he was halfway through, and then he grabbed the soldier and asked, "Comrade, what are you talking about? Can you go home now?"

"Yes, comrade!" The soldier raised his head towards the big horn hanging above our heads and said, "Didn't you hear what was being said?"

We really didn't hear it, the main reason is that the cheers almost drowned out the loudspeaker volume.

Listening intently at this moment, I saw a clear voice coming from inside: "Because the Vietnamese invaders continued to carry out armed provocations against our country, our border guards were forced to launch a counterattack in self-defense on February 2th. Now The expected goal has been achieved, and the Chinese government announced that starting from March 17, 1979, the Chinese border guards will gradually withdraw to the territory of China..."

The soldiers and I couldn't help being stunned when we heard this. We still couldn't believe that the war was over like this, so many soldiers listened carefully again with the mentality of confirmation... Finally, after finding out that they heard correctly, they soon Then burst into a cry to join the cheering ranks.

At this time, I have mixed feelings. I have been waiting for this moment, but when this moment really comes, I am a little overwhelmed.

At this time, I was thinking, what can I do after returning to China?continue to live in this world?

Or is my mission of coming to this era fulfilled?Should I go back to my world?

It's just that I didn't expect that... this is just the beginning, and the day when the war is really over is still far, far away.

Like me, there was Chen Yiyi who felt a little lost. I saw a bit of shock and regret in her eyes not far away, and then she turned around and walked into the private house with her head down.

I was puzzled for a while, so I chased her into the private house, and asked, "Second squad leader, what's the matter? Why aren't you happy about going back to China?"

"En!" Chen Yiyi casually responded, holding the gun and bowing her head in silence.

Immediately afterwards, I quickly remembered that Chen Yiyi had told me that she had a younger sister, so I comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the war is over, your sister's matter will come to you in the future, and it won't be too late to solve it slowly." !"

"Yeah!" Chen Yiyi still just nodded and didn't speak.

But that's what I said, but I also know it in my heart... Since Chen Yiyi's younger sister is a soldier in the Vietnamese army, Chen Yiyi probably won't have the chance to meet her after returning home.Chen Yiyi is a woman, isn't she?Not to mention that we don't know when our army will go to the battlefield again, even if we go to the battlefield again, I'm afraid we won't have Chen Yiyi's share.

It's just that this seems to be exactly what I hoped for... I am very pleased that I can finally fulfill my wish and bring Chen Yiyi back to China to live in a peaceful world.

However, what I don't know is that this is just my wishful thinking... I think things are too simple, I can't imagine Chen Yiyi's attachment to her family, she will never leave her family and leave alone. Go, even she treats me like family too.

At this time, I couldn't understand Chen Yiyi's thoughts. Just when I wanted to say something to comfort her, the soldiers under me rushed in excitedly and hugged me, shouting incessantly: "Platoon leader, we can go home, we can really go home!"

"Platoon leader! Let's celebrate after returning home!"

……

Come back home?

When I heard this word, I felt helpless. I still don’t know where my home is... Is there a place for me, Yang Xuefeng, in this world?Can I really adapt to life in this world? (To be continued.)
