blood of vietnam war

Chapter 3

"Platoon leader!" Thinking of this, I asked anxiously, "This... is Height No. [-] in front of us?"

"Yeah!" Scar looked at me in disbelief and said, "Seeing that you fought this battle, you almost lost your life on it. I don't know what highland this is!"

Immediately, there was a burst of laughter around.

"No, it's not... that..." I couldn't help being stunned, what should I say?Said the old man told me?Said that I came from time and space decades later?I'm afraid these people not only won't believe me, but think I'm funny.

Scar glanced at me, and said angrily: "Fart off, don't you see that everyone is busy fighting?"

I was anxious and said: "Platoon leader! This battle cannot be fought!"

"What? Why can't you hit me?" Dao Scar was already angry with me, but now he was even more angry. He no longer cared about being polite to me, and pointed at me and opened his mouth and scolded: "You What a fucking embarrassment to our Fujian people, is there anyone like you who is a soldier? You have not fought a few battles and are afraid of this and that..."

"Platoon leader, I... I didn't mean that!" Now I really feel quite wronged.

"What do you mean if you don't mean that?" Dao Scar ignored my explanation, and said to me in a ruthless voice: "Boy, you are afraid of death, aren't you? You...you get out of here!"

As I spoke, I spat on the ground in disdain, and the soldiers around me didn't give me a good look, as if I had done something outrageous.

Seeing this, I couldn’t help feeling angry. When was I ever underestimated when I was a child, so I puffed up my chest and said, “Platoon leader, I said I can’t fight because I’m greedy for life and afraid of death... A severed head is just a scar the size of a bowl. Is there anything to be afraid of, I, Yang Xuefeng, am an indomitable man, right?"

"Then you are talking about... why can't you fight?"

"This..." I hesitated for a moment, then replied with a flash of inspiration: "I'm so weird, I went to the battlefield late, when I passed our artillery position... I heard that they just shot down the No. [-] Heights , why is there another No. [-] highland now?"

Scar's face changed involuntarily: "Did you hear me right?"

"Of course I heard you right!" I patted my chest and said, "It's my fellow who said that, so we chatted a little more when we met him, and he said that Heights No. [-] is the old street in the past! Why now... Think about it, platoon leader, if you mistake Height No. [-] for Height No. [-], and Height No. [-] for some other high ground, then this artillery preparation..."

Dao Scar jumped up, pulled me up and ran: "Go, go see the company commander!"

He rushed to the company commander all the way, and Scar stood up and reported: "Report to the company commander, the situation is urgent. Comrade Yang Xuefeng just came from the artillery position, and he said...the superior seems to have mistaken the number of the highland!"

"Second platoon leader!" The company commander who was putting on leggings replied unhurriedly: "We soldiers, just follow orders and fight. How could the superior make such a mistake? Let's stop worrying about it." !"

Scar cast his eyes on me, I gritted my teeth, pretended to be confident and nodded.

In fact, I'm not sure, I'm just thinking... If this is true, wouldn't it be my own life if I don't insist?If it's not true, then at worst, I'll be put in confinement, just because there's no need to fight!

"Company Commander!" Dao Scar handed over a cigarette and said, "There is a saying that be careful to make the Ten Thousand Years Ship, why don't we... make a phone call to confirm with your superiors! Anyway, we still have time now."

The company commander looked at his watch unhurriedly, lit a cigarette unhurriedly and let out a puff of smoke rings leisurely, then raised his head to the side and shouted: "Xiao Chen, call the battalion department!"

After a while, the microphone was handed over to the company commander, and the company commander shouted into the microphone: "Is it the battalion headquarters? One of our comrades said that the number of the highland is wrong, yes... Please check with the artillery unit at your superiors, yes, Yes, resolutely obey orders!"

The company commander put down the microphone, lowered his head and continued to tie his leggings, and said casually: "Just do what you need to do! The battalion headquarters said, they will check it, but without the order from the superior, everything will go according to plan! Also, like this The problem is very likely to affect the morale of the soldiers and the enthusiasm to fight the enemy. If it is not necessary, don't talk nonsense, understand?"

"Understood!" Dao Scar and I stood up and retreated helplessly.

Originally, I thought that Scar would complain about me, but to my surprise, he didn't say anything.

In the end, I couldn't help asking: "Platoon leader, why don't you say something!"

"What are you talking about? What is there to say?" Dao Scar was full of doubts.

"You've been criticized!" I said, "Isn't it all because of me? You should reprimand me..."

"It's not sure who is right and who is wrong!" Scar said with a faint smile: "Besides, it's none of your business. I decided to take you to see the company commander, right?"

When Scar said that, I was speechless.

"Don't think too much!" Scar patted my shoulder and said, "Go and prepare for battle!"

I returned to the team sullenly holding my gun, only to find that the soldiers around me looked at me strangely, and some even whispered about something.I faintly heard the word "coward", and I felt really uncomfortable.Secretly thinking what the hell is this world, I might die here, and be scolded as a coward before I die...

But this is not what I am most worried about. What if... what the old man said is true?What if the cannonball really fell on his head?

I nervously looked at the sky, although I knew that even if the shells hit me, I wouldn't be able to see it...

"gather!"

The soldiers surrounded them with a whimper, and the company commander pulled out his pistol and raised it majestically at us, and said in a low voice, "Comrades, after the artillery fire is ready, take down the No. [-] Heights!"

"Take Height No. [-]!"

"Revenge for the comrades who died!"

……

The soldiers were gearing up one by one, but I was the only one who looked anxiously at the platoon leader for a while, and looked around for a while.

I noticed that Scar's brows were also wrinkled. He seemed to have the same worries as me, and he deliberately brought us near a cave.From this, I can see that Scar is not very confident in the command of his superiors.

I have heard about this from the old man. I remember that the old head was thinking of something, and said very seriously: "The ten years of turmoil have just ended. There are not many soldiers who have been trained. Fighting When the battle comes, it becomes a mess, and there are too many things where one's own people fight against one's own people..."

Will this time also...I don't dare to think about the future, if I die at the hands of the enemy, I can be a martyr, but if I die at the hands of my own...

But what can I do?If you don't run away, you are waiting to die here. If you run away, you will be a deserter, and you will die!

I could only hold the rifle tightly in my hand, stare at the cave not far from me, and run into the cave just waiting for something to go wrong.

"Get ready for battle!" The company commander looked at the watch on his wrist and gave the final order.

The soldiers checked their equipment for the last time, and their eyes were fixed on the No. [-] highland in the mist hundreds of meters away, but I was the only one who was not focused on the enemy at all, but just waited with a nervous breakdown. The coming of the shells.

But waiting left and right, waiting for a long time, but no shells came, and no order to charge was given.

"What's going on?" The company commander looked at his watch and muttered. It was obvious that the planned artillery fire preparation time had come, but the artillery fire did not arrive as scheduled.

When he was surprised, a correspondent hurried forward and shouted out of breath: "The plan is cancelled, the plan is cancelled... Company Commander Li, the battalion commander ordered you to pull the troops back and wait for orders!"

"Oh!" Company Commander Li gave the order resentfully, and glanced at me at the same time.

I couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the battalion must have communicated with the superiors before the battle started.

"What happened?"

"Why don't you fight?"

……

As soon as the soldiers sat down at the gathering place, they discussed in low voices. I just wanted to say something, but Scar swallowed everything I wanted to say with a look.Only then did I remember the company commander's order just now... I almost made a mistake just now.

"Comrades!" After answering the phone call, the company commander ran back and stood in front of us and shouted: "A major incident has happened. I just got the news from my superiors. The number of the highland of the artillery unit is different from the number of our highland! He Grandma... the shell almost fell on our heads just now!"

With a sound of "coaxing", the soldiers immediately talked about it, and they were all glad that they had escaped just now.

"Comrades!" The company commander continued waving his hands and said, "Here, we would like to thank a comrade... this is..."

"Yang Xuefeng!" Scar said proudly, "Yang Xuefeng in the second row!"

"Yes!" The company commander nodded towards me: "It was Comrade Yang Xuefeng who reported the situation to us and saved our troops... no, it should be our entire battalion from a friendly casualty. This fully demonstrates the importance of If you want to be an outstanding revolutionary soldier, it is not enough to just fight with a gun, you must also have excellent observation skills and a careful and serious attitude, comrades must learn from Comrade Yang Xuefeng!"

"Wow...", intense applause sounded around me.Those soldiers who looked down on me before now have eyes full of admiration and envy.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly feel funny. There is a saying called "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit". I thought this saying could only be used on the battlefield, but I didn't expect it to be the same in terms of mental state.Isn't it?Just now I was criticized for "disturbing the morale of the army", but now I have a "careful and serious" attitude.

"Boy!" Dao Scar patted me heavily on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to you this time. Otherwise, our army would not know how many people would have been killed or injured! It is our army owes you!"

I gave a wry smile without words: So what if the army owes me?Can it keep me from going to the battlefield?Can it keep me from dying?Can you take me home?

Home... used to feel very close, and I could go back whenever I wanted, but now it feels so far away.

I have to admit that I regretted it at this time, why I always love to spend time and drink outside in modern times and don't want to go home.If I could go home now...
