"Captain Cui!"

"Captain Cui!"

...

But in a while, more and more people outside the tunnel gathered, and more and more concentrated. Jiang Chunzeng, Li Pinghe, Huang Xianhua, Li Xiangming, Zhang Mingxue, Xu Yongwei... After a while, the tunnel was squeezed into pieces inside and outside, and everyone had a surprise expression on their faces.

It was only then that I realized that although I was not far from them during this period, I had not seen them for a long time because I had been busy with war on Shangganling.

"Comrades!" Seeing these old subordinates of the 538th Regiment, I couldn't help but feel mixed emotions: "Comrades, thank you for your concern for me, but you can't do anything to care! What if I'm really heroic, you really rush through the Japanese defense line to find me regardless of the orders of your superiors? Why? I'm addicted to being my soldiers, right! Everyone rushed to the underworld to be my soldiers?"

With a "coax...", the soldiers all laughed out loud.

"I tell you!" I looked domineering, and pointed my index finger in the air for a few times and said, "You guys are going to go down like this! I want to be my soldier yet! If I go down, I will set up a table and take notes and take notes. You didn't drag a few enemies' ghosts down, and I kicked you back to the world with one kick!"

The soldiers laughed louder.

After laughing for a while, I continued, "If you bring an enemy ghost, I will be a soldier for you; if you bring two, I will give you a platoon leader; if you bring ten, I will do it for you!"

Haha... the soldiers all smiled, and the atmosphere in the tunnel soon became relaxed and happy.

"Comrades!" At this time, Li Pinghe stood up and waved to the soldiers and said, "Comrades, Commander Cui has been fighting with the enemy for a few days, but he didn't even close his eyes. He must be very tired. Comrades, let Commander Cui and others have a good rest!"

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "A lot of people like you gather here! The Americans came a few shells, and we really want to go to the underworld to make shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Let's all disperse! Let's disperse!"

"Yes!" Seeing that I was back safely, the soldiers were relieved and soon dispersed according to our orders.

"Captain!" Jiang Chunzeng came up and shook hands with me and said, "We are leaving too, you have a good rest! Just come back, I'll say something tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" I nodded and watched the soldiers leave one by one with emotion.

"Captain Cui, your soldiers are really interesting!" After sending off the soldiers, Company Commander Fan couldn't help but say with some envy: "I have been in the army for so many years. There are so few cadres who can make such desperate soldiers. There are such a group of soldiers! It's not in vain to come to this world!"

"Yes! It's a blessing to have such a soldier!" I sighed long, but there was no further information, because I remembered Huang Sihu and the two soldiers he took away. They were also some soldiers who were willing to fight for me.

It seemed that I had a heart-to-heart relationship, or that I had cooperated with the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army for so long, and I thought about it, and the soldiers quickly thought of Huang Sihu and the others. They all lowered their heads and fell into silence again in the tunnel.

"Don't think too much, let me sleep!" I gave the order, and spread the march prepared for us by Company Commander Fan and lay down.

"Yes!" The soldiers responded in a low voice, including Zhang Fafu and Yang Minle, spread the quilts silently.

For more than two days, I have been hiding in the short and cold cement pipe for most of the time, and I can't close my eyes at all. As soon as my whole body relaxed, my eyelids became as heavy as if I had lead, and I quickly fell asleep.

Although the tunnel was much warmer than outside, the thin marching quilt on my body was not enough to make me sleep comfortably. While trembling and half asleep, I saw Huang Sihu and the two soldiers led by him. They waved at me with smiles on their faces, as if they were saying goodbye to me. While walking, they turned around reluctantly. I reached out to try to hold them, but I couldn't reach them...

With a "suddenly...", I sat up from the quilt, and after a while I was stunned, I realized that I had just had a dream.

"Captain! Are you awake?" Zhang Mingxue heard the movement and walked in from the entrance of the tunnel.

"Yeah!" I rubbed Wu Zi's forehead, looked around, and found that I was the only one.

"Where are the others?" I asked casually.

"The others are basking in the sun outside!" Zhang Mingxue replied: "When they saw you sleep soundly, they didn't dare to wake you up. They wanted you to rest for a while!"

"Well, when is it now? There is a sun?" I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard it.

"It's noon!" Zhang Mingxue smiled and said, "If you get up late, the sun is about to set."

"Captain, you're hungry!" At this time, Xu Yongwei walked in from outside the tunnel with a plate, with a large bowl of hot white rice and a small jar of kimchi on it.

"Captain, eat while it's hot!" Xu Yongwei put the plate in front of me and handed me a pair of chopsticks: "These are all prepared by Commander Wang for you!"

"What?" I just took the white rice and ate it a few bites, but I couldn't help but be stunned: "Sir Wang has come?"

"Yes! I've been here twice!" Xu Yongwei replied: "Sir Wang saw that you were not awake yet, so he would not let us wake you up, and said he would come back later!"

"What a fuss! Commander Wang doesn't wake me up when he comes!" I wanted to put down my bowl and go to see Commander Wang like this, but first I was really hungry, and secondly, the taste of Korean kimchi was really good, so I picked up the chopsticks and swallowed the food in front of me.

Korean kimchi is similar to our Chinese pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables. The difference is that the raw materials used by the North Koreans to make kimchi are cabbage, and fish heads, ribs and other delicious foods are added to it. They are a kind of dish that North Koreans eat in daily life, especially during the winter. The North Koreans call it "Golden Shepherd", and our volunteers call it "Kimchi".

Although the people of North Korea often give us some of this thing, the number of volunteer soldiers is too large, so there are not many opportunities to eat it. At this time, I would not let it go so easily with this opportunity. I just thought that Commander Wang would wait a while and wait, and fill his five internal organs before talking about it. So I ate the bowl of rice and the small can of kimchi in a few seconds. After burping, I wiped my mouth, and then stood up and walked out of the tunnel.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

...

As soon as I walked out of the tunnel, the soldiers basking in the sun outside stood up and saluted me one by one. I nodded frequently to them, and my heart couldn't help feeling a little fluttering again. But I was stunned before I took a few steps. Although I had been to this Wusheng Mountain area for a long time, I stayed on Shangganling most of the time. In the past, Wang Yuehan was by my side, and I couldn't find the direction again if I came out.

"Zhang Mingxue, Xu Yongwei!" I had no choice but to shout behind me: "You two go ahead and go to the division headquarters!"

Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei were stunned. The leader was always walking in front of the guards, but now I let them go in front of them...

But in a daze, he didn't dare to ask more questions. He responded and ran to the front to lead the way.

I couldn't remember where it was, so I followed Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei and turned left and right on the mountain road. After a while, I came to the division headquarters. I said in my heart, fortunately there were two guards who could recognize the way, otherwise I might have made a fool of myself in front of the soldiers.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

After getting permission, I lifted up the black cloth at the entrance of the tunnel and walked in. However, I saw Commander Wang and a few people discussing something on the map with their heads down, and they didn't notice me at all.

"Well! It's Captain Cui!" After a while, when Political Commissar Xie came over with a teacup, he realized that I was standing by and waiting.

"Oh!" Hearing this, Commander Wang raised his head and looked at me unexpectedly, and hurriedly greeted me enthusiastically and held my hand: "It turns out to be Commander Cui, why don't you say a word! Come on... sit down!"

"So you are Captain Cui!" Several soldiers who had just discussed with Commander Wang on the map quickly surrounded me and shook hands one by one.

"Well, let me introduce it!" Commander Wang pointed to the soldiers and said, "This is Xu Jiaxun, the commander of the 229th Regiment, Shao Jie, the commander of the 230th Regiment, Zhu Jiaqing, the commander of the 231st Regiment, and Dong Yin, the commander of the artillery regiment!"

It turned out to be the commanders of the 77th Division. I couldn't help but feel ashamed when I heard this. It has been so long since I came to the Wusheng Mountain area. It can even be said that I had fought a long battle in the 231st Regiment, and I only saw these commanders now.

"Captain Cui, your reconnaissance mission has been completed so well!" Zhu Jiaqing, who was covered in beards, patted my shoulder carelessly and said, "Do you know how many enemy cannons we have knocked out? There are thirty-five doors! These are not counting as dozens of cars, tanks! This is a pain in the Americans!"

"Oh! Have you killed so many?" This is the first time I heard someone tell me about the results of this reconnaissance mission.

"That's not?" Political Commissar Xie enthusiastically handed me a glass of water: "According to our intelligence personnel, the open ground was covered with black areas, and there were wreckage of cannons, cars, and tanks everywhere. It took a long time to count them! You guys have made great contributions!"

"I finally took revenge!" I nodded excitedly when I heard this.

The intelligence personnel of the Volunteer Army are still credible. After all, this war was fought on North Korea's land. South Korea and North Korea are actually just a title. No one can tell whether the North Koreans go to South Korea or the South Koreans come to North Korea. So it is too easy for both sides to install a few spies on the other side.

"Our army has only more than 30 artillery pieces, each of which fired five shells!" Dong Yin was the leader of the artillery regiment, so he naturally kept his word from his business. He said with a glorious tone: "These more than 100 artillery shells were not enough to cause such great destructive power, but I think it should be that the US artillery shells were detonated by our artillery shells, which caused a chain explosion to have such power!"

"Captain Dong said it well!" I agreed: "When we pulled down, we did see a car with shells detonated."

"Captain Cui!" At this time, Commander Wang spoke: "I have heard from the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army about your withdrawal! The soldiers were able to come back alive this time because you adapted to the situation and commanded properly!"

"Teacher, there are still people who haven't withdrawn!"

"I know, I know!" Commander Wang nodded heavily: "Huang Sihu and the others are all good comrades. They took the initiative to sacrifice themselves to protect the safety of the large army. This spirit is worth learning from! They are all good soldiers of our party!"

After a pause, Commander Wang said with a stern face: "We should praise our contributions, and we should criticize our mistakes! What did those two artillery observers do! You will make such mistakes on the battlefield! Dong Yin, who are you sent to? You have to find out this matter for me!"

"Yes!" Dong Yin stood up and responded, not daring to explain a word.

"Teacher Commander!" I couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to say, "In fact, the two artillery observers have made contributions to this mission. If they hadn't guided the artillery into the enemy's position, we could say that we would not have completed this mission at all. This... at least we could have made up for the merits and demerits!"

"Yes!" Commander Wang nodded and sat back on the bench again, but his face was still very ugly. The atmosphere in the tunnel was very dull for a moment.

Commander Wang looked very irritable. After a while, he lit a cigarette, took a few sips, then stood up and paced back and forth. Strangely, I always felt that he didn't dare to look in front of my eyes, as if he had done something bad...

After a long time, Commander Wang sighed and sat back on the bench and said, "I know, the two artillery observers will not blame the losses this time. If you want to blame, I will blame me!"

"Teacher!"

"Teacher..."

The people around him wanted to say something, but they were soon stopped by Commander Wang. He raised his head and looked at me and said, "Captain Cui, I have a few words today. I, Mr. Wang, feel uncomfortable in my heart. I must explain it to you clearly!"

"Master Wang, just say it!" I felt more and more strange when I saw everyone like this.

"Okay!" Commander Wang nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "For this mission, we did send two teams of scouts, but neither of them could successfully pass the enemy's defense line. We had no choice but to think of you. The facts proved that we were right. You successfully passed the enemy's defense line and completed the mission. But what we didn't expect was that you could come back..."

"What?" I was shocked when I heard this, and stood up as if I had been stabbed by a needle and said, "Sir Wang, are you saying that this is a death mission?"

"That's right!" Commander Wang nodded and said, "Have you ever thought that no matter how well you lurk, the process of artillery scouts guiding artillery shells into enemy positions would be enough to expose you?"

"Well! I haven't thought about this." I shook my head blankly.

"Americans are not fools!" Commander Wang looked at me apologetically and said, "We don't have airborne artillery aircraft. When you guide the artillery shells into their positions one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, they will soon realize that there is an enemy artillery scout lurking near their artillery positions. There is only a 394.8 highland near that open land, so the US military will find your location soon..."

"At that time, we were in the middle of the US military position, and our legs could not escape the enemy's four wheels, so you thought we were dead, right?" I understood everything when I heard this, and I felt a coldness in my heart, which was even colder than being frozen in the cement pipe for thirty-two hours.

"Captain Cui!" Seeing that my expression was a little bad, Political Commissar Xie hurriedly walked up to explain: "Actually, we have no choice but to do this task..."

"Teacher Commander! Political Commissar!" I interrupted Political Commissar Xie and saluted them and said, "There is still such a task next time. Don't worry, Cui Wei, dare not go on! Just tell me that you have to go but not return. I, and the soldiers under me, if we frown, we will be the son of the turtle!"

As I said that, I ignored the reactions of other soldiers in the tunnel, saluted and walked out of the tunnel.

As soon as he got out of the tunnel, Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei hurried to the front of me. I was so upset! Seeing this, he cursed: "Come back, who told you to go to the front? Go back!"

"Captain, this..." Zhang Mingxue was a little confused by me.

"What's this?" I shouted impatiently: "Go and notify Liu Yawen of the cold gun force and return to the position immediately!"

As I said that, I walked towards the 597.9 Highland without looking back. One of the reasons why I dared to do this is that I am familiar with the road from the division headquarters to the 597.9 Highland, so I don’t need anyone to lead the way.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Back at the command center of the 597.9 Highlands, lying on my bed made of shell boxes, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about the scene that happened in the division headquarters today.

It’s not that I feel unbalanced because I’m being put on a death mission, but that I can’t stand the feeling of being almost cheated.

But when I think about it, I feel something is wrong. In the volunteer army, such death tasks and death orders can be said to be too common. There is no need for Commander Wang to arrange tasks for me using this method that hides me from me.

But thinking about it makes me feel relieved. Perhaps the biggest reason is that my identity is the commander of the 538th Regiment of the 180th Division, and a non-combat force who is here to teach experience. It is unreasonable to give such a dead order to someone with my identity, and the 538th Regiment and even Commander Pang of the 180th Division would not agree, so they came up with this plan...
