Chapter 30 Brother

With a "bang!", the searchlight went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

"Don't wait for us!" I shouted to the Americans who were still in the dark: "There are too many mines buried by these red molecules, enough for us to be busy for a while! If possible, you can prepare some wine and food and drink a few sips when we come back!"

"No problem, man!" the Americans waved at us and shouted, "Good luck! Don't lose a few parts when you come back!"

As he said that, he burst into laughter.

Listening to their hearty laughter, I thought to myself that the Americans are actually quite happy in hardships. Although their hardships are nothing compared to our volunteers. But for these little flowers who grew up in greenhouses, it would be good to have such performance in combat in this ice and snow.

However, afterwards, they found out that I was the red element they hated, and they even cheated them up. I wonder what they would feel.

Now I don't care about so much, because I know that we have not escaped from danger at this time, so we must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. So I made a gesture to the soldiers, and the soldiers nodded knowingly, deliberately pretending to clear mines on the ground while slowly moving forward... Until I was sure that the US military could no longer see us, I then followed Wang Xianru's footsteps.

This mine was originally set up by Wang Xianru, and he knew the location of the mine here, so under his leadership, the soldiers advanced very quickly, but in the blink of an eye, they walked out of the minefield.

Seeing Wang Xianru making a safe gesture, the soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were about to speed up and run towards their positions, but were stopped by Wang Xianru.

Just when the soldiers and I were confused, Wang Xianru pointed to the mines on our shoulders and whispered: "Give me the mines, you go first, I'll move here for a while, don't waste it..."

Damn! I don’t know what to say when I listen to Wang Xianru!

Although the mission was not long and there was no vigorous battle, it was not less dangerous than other battles. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a life-threatening death. Ordinary people, like me, in this situation of dying, just want to return to the safe area as soon as possible to pull it off, but Wang Xianru was still thinking about installing landmines for the Americans, and he thought not to waste these landmines!

But Wang Xianru is not an ordinary person! He is not, the soldiers are not, and I don’t seem to be neither! So I can’t think about it with common sense at all.

"Be careful!" Thinking of this, I didn't say much, but patted his shoulder and handed the mines into his hands. The other soldiers also left the mines in their hands, turned around and ran towards our military positions.

While running, I was thinking, if the US troops discovered our identities and ran out to chase them, as they said, "Bounce Betty" would definitely make them "good"!

"Captain, Commander!" A soldier was running after me and whispered beside me: "We can't run back like this! We are wearing the military uniforms of puppet troops. What if any comrade who fires cold guns treats us as enemies..."

"Um!" I was stunned when I heard this and stopped immediately.

By the way, I have been immersed in the joy of cheating the Americans and successfully crossing their defense line just now, but I haven't thought of this. Fortunately, with the warrior's reminder, otherwise we would have escaped the US military's search and died unexplainedly under the guns of our own people!

"Captain! What should I do?" As soon as I was about to return to my position, this problem suddenly appeared. Yang Minle couldn't help but feel a little calmer. He said anxiously: "Or... let's shout code while walking..."

"No!" Zhang Lefu opposed: "If we shout the secret code loudly, the US military will hear it. We have not entered the safe area yet. As long as those Americans turn on the searchlight and fire a row of bullets, we will not be able to escape. Moreover, the secret code will be known to the Americans! If we shout low, our comrades will not hear it, and they will still treat us as Japanese!"

"Huh!" Listening to Zhang Fafu's profound analysis, I couldn't help but look at him unexpectedly. Why did this kid suddenly seem to be much more sophisticated? Everyone says that the battlefield is a university, which can make people mature as soon as possible. It seems that this is true.

"Then, what should I do?" Although Yang Minle followed Zhang Fafu to the battlefield, perhaps because he had not experienced so many lessons personally, he was obviously still far behind Zhang Fafu. At this time, he was about to escape from the sky, but he couldn't help but stomped his feet anxiously.

"What's the hurry?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but scold: "I'll make some noise, let the Americans discover it or let our comrades who fired cold guns find it, but we don't have any good results. Let's lie down! Be quiet..."

"Yes!" The soldiers responded in a low voice, all lying on the ground as I ordered.

At this time, I was so anxious! At that time, I only thought about crossing the enemy's defense line and returning to my own troops, but I never thought that there would be such a situation that was not pleasing to both sides.

what to do?

Are you sneaking into your own defense line like you are sneaking into the enemy's defense line? The soldiers are all masters of lurking and sniping. If only they were, they might be able to do it, but the risk is too great, not to mention that we are following two artillery observers who may expose the target at any time!

Are you sending someone to sneak in to report the news? If you are afraid, you will be killed by the volunteer soldiers. Among the volunteer soldiers on the other side, there will be a few people who like to stumble the enemy's neck like tigers...

"What's wrong? Why haven't you left yet?" Wang Xianru fell back to me and asked in confusion.

"The landmines are all installed?" I asked casually.

"It's safe!" Wang Xianru nodded, then asked again: "Captain, why are you still staying here? Is there any situation?"

"No!" I shook my head and explained: "We are all wearing puppet army uniforms. When we go back, we are afraid that we will be misunderstood by our comrades!"

"Just for this..." Wang Xianru looked at me incredible.

"You, do you have a solution?" I couldn't help but look at him in confusion after hearing what Wang Xianru said.

"That's not simple!" Wang Xianru replied with a smile: "Will it be like taking the white flag? We don't kill prisoners?"

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"Okay, you!" I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I want to get this, I really have a few tricks!"

Although this method is a bit cowardly, it is really a feasible and good solution.

"Captain!" What surprised the soldiers even more was that Wang Xianru took out a small white flag from his arms and raised it at me: "To be honest, I am used to touching mines on the enemy's positions. At first, I have to communicate with my comrades. Every time I come back, I have to respond at a fixed location so that I will not misunderstand the idea of ​​a Japanese. However, this method is troublesome, I can't stand it after a long time, and I will come back wherever I go, without some freedom. Later, I thought of the method of fighting the white flag... Not to mention, this method is really useful. But! I can be called the one who fights the most white flags in our army!"

Hearing the words, the soldiers all laughed out loud, but because they were worried about exposing their target, they all held in their arms. Only a few "eat..." sounds could be heard in the darkness.

With a solution, everyone did not dare to neglect. They quickly pulled out a few more white cloths, held their hands and shook the white flag and walked towards our army's defense line.

But as I walked like this, I felt a little nervous. Although the volunteer army did not kill prisoners, no matter what, we still handed our lives to others. And in this cold weather, as long as the fingers of any volunteer soldier trembled, we would...

Looking at the soldiers beside me, they walked a little unnaturally. I don’t know if they were worried about dying under the guns of their own people or never surrendering. Now they were holding their hands and shaking the white flag back. In short, they all looked dejected, and they really looked like they were as bears as the puppet army surrendered. Only Wang Xianru seemed to be used to this, but he still walked forward with a smile on his face and swayed with his head held high.

It seems that on this battlefield, no matter what, you really need experience, and even surrender is...

I walked like this for a long time without any movement, no one shot, nor did anyone come up to surrender. I walked slowly forward in the darkness, not daring to make too many moves, the more I walked in, the more I felt a little scared in my heart.

As the saying goes, we have entered our own defense zone now, because there are more and more bullet craters on the ground, and there is no shadow of trees or grass on the snow. This is the characteristic of our army's position, but there is still no movement at all.

Is there no cold gunner lurking on our military positions? Impossible! Even if there is no cold gunner lurking, there will be secret whistles or observers monitoring the enemy's movements! Otherwise, the enemy will rush up in a swarm of ways and still don't know!

The soldiers didn’t notice us? This is even more impossible. After we made such a big noise, if we didn’t notice us yet, we wouldn’t have to fight...

"Don't move!"

"Snatch the gun and don't kill it!"

...

Just as I was thinking, a few warriors in disguise jumped out of the snow beside me, pointing guns at us, which scared us.

"I surrender, I confess, I confess..." These are the first few words that popped up in my mind, but when I thought, it was not right! We should be considered heroes! Why are they really like prisoners?

So he cleared his throat and calmed down, and said to the soldiers who rushed out: "Comrade, we are the cold gun unit of the 231st Regiment of the 77th Division. We sneaked into the enemy's position the day before yesterday to perform reconnaissance missions, so we wore this puppet military uniform!"

"Are you the cold gun unit of the 231st Regiment?" Hearing the words, several soldiers beside him were stunned. A soldier led by him came forward and asked, "Do you know whereabouts of the Regiment Cui Wei and Cui?"

"I am!" I nodded and responded: "I am Cui Wei, the leader of the 538th Regiment!"

"What? Are you the Commander Cui?" Hearing this, the volunteer soldiers were stunned, but obviously they still didn't dare to believe us completely, and they still refused to put down the gun in their hands.

"Captain Cui!" The soldier led by the leader walked up to him and said, "It is difficult for us to distinguish the authenticity of what you said. Recently, many puppet military spies have been involved in our troops. For safety reasons, we must fire your guns..."

"Is it Company Commander Fan?" At this time, a soldier from the cold gun unit following me suddenly called out, then walked up and asked, "You are from the 230th Regiment? You are Company Commander Fan Changxin!"

"You are... you are Xiao Zhao! Zhao Yawen, the sharpshooter of the Third Battalion!" Company Commander Fan obviously recognized the soldier I led.

"Yes! Company Commander Fan is really a good memory!" The two of them shook their hands enthusiastically.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel relaxed and thought to myself, how could I forget that my cold gun unit was composed of sharpshooters drawn by various troops! This Zhao Yawen is obviously from the 230th Regiment. There will be no more misunderstandings now!

"So…" After reacting, Company Commander Fan quickly looked at me in disbelief and said, "So this is really Captain Cui?"

"Who else isn't him?" Zhao Yawen smiled proudly, as if it was a very honorable thing to be my subordinate.

"Captain Cui!" Company Commander Fan saluted in front of me and said apologetically: "Because you were not confirmed just now, so..."

"It should be, it should be!" I regretted it as soon as I finished saying this, because no matter how I thought about it, I felt that the tone of saying this was still like a prisoner. It seemed that I had not yet walked out of the mentality of holding the white flag just now.

At this time, the searchlight on the US military's position suddenly lit up, and several flares were fired. The soldiers hurriedly lay in the snow.

"Fuck!" The US military's extremely terrifying roar came from the opposite side: "We have been fooled by these hateful red elements!"

A curse came from the US military positions soon, and then several rows of bullets were fired at our military positions aimlessly, which made the soldiers laugh.

"Hey!" I raised my head a little, and English shouted to the opposite side: "American friends, thank you for your escort! To show our gratitude, we have prepared "Bounce Betty" for you on the road, come out and enjoy it!"

“fuck you!”

“Bastard! (bastard)”

...

Listening to my words, the US military camp scolded even more fiercely.

"Captain! What are you talking about?" Wang Xianru couldn't help but ask in confusion.

I translated what I just said to the soldiers, which made the soldiers laugh again.

"Thank you!" Wang Xianru, regardless of whether the Americans could understand it, also shouted to the opposite side as if they were like: "We will come to your guest next time, so you can get ready to wait!"

The Americans didn't answer, raised their machine guns, and the mortars were fired and bombarded randomly. We didn't care about them, so we turned around and ran into the safety of the back slope of the highlands.

When we followed Company Commander Fan back to their tunnel, Company Commander Fan quickly prepared hot water and dry food for us. In the past two days, we were still frozen in the cement pipes in the 394.8 Highlands. As soon as we received hot water and food, we couldn't wait to bring the food into our mouths and keep the boiling water warm.

"Captain Cui!" Company Commander Fan looked at us from the side and said, "You have lost news these two days. The division headquarters thought you had sacrificed. All the divisions were in trouble. Do you know?"

"What? Is it a big mess?" I asked vaguely while swallowing the dry fried noodles: "What a big mess? Even if we really sacrificed, it wouldn't be like this!"

"The problem is that you are the leader of the 538th Regiment!" Company Commander Fan said helplessly.

"Well! It's not that the soldiers are making things difficult for you!" I realized what the problem was.

"It's not a big deal!" Company Commander Fan shook his head: "The comrades of the 538th Regiment are also revolutionary soldiers, and they still have this kind of ideological awareness! It's just..."

"Just what?"

"But they all want to save you with guns!" Company Commander Fan smiled bitterly: "According to their words, they want to see people alive and corpses, and even if they can't find the corpse, they have to find some of your relics to erect a monument for you! Especially the two comrades Hu Biao and Li Guoqiang, these two comrades were the most fierce! If our division commander hadn't called a few people to lock them up, I think they would have secretly brought the troops to touch them."

"Well!" These words were heard in my ears, but they hit my heart like little hammers, which moved me very much. The most important thing about volunteer soldiers is organization and discipline, but when my subordinates heard that I was in trouble, they would even think about saving me at all costs!

"The 538th Regiment is a non-combat force!" After pausing, Company Commander Fan continued, "And you are here to teach experience. In principle, it is not under the command of our army, so it is very troublesome to make a fuss. Isn't it? You are about to lose control, but fortunately you came back alive, which finally made us feel relieved..."

"Captain! Commander!" Before he finished speaking, he heard several urgent shouts outside the tunnel, and soon several soldiers ran in panting. It was Li Guoqiang, Hu Biao and several other battalion commanders of the 538th Regiment. As soon as he saw me, he was stunned on the spot.

"It's really you! Commander! You're really not dead!" After a while, Hu Biao took a few steps and grabbed me, and hugged me.

Others showed different behaviors, some were crying, some were laughing, and some were crying and laughing, which made the soldiers very moved.
Chapter completed!
