"But there is a problem here!" Seeing that I agreed, Liu Shunyi continued: "What the superior means is... the number of spies in the Vietnamese army is hiding in our army, and it is lurking deep. In order to allow our special reconnaissance brigade to grow safely and exert suddenness on the battlefield, the superior believes that we should do a good job in this area when it is as unknown as possible, so..."

Seeing Liu Shunyi’s embarrassment, I continued, “Captain, just say whatever you have! What are we warriors who are not even afraid of death?”

Liu Shunyi nodded, his expression looking a little embarrassed: "What superiors mean... continue to declare to the outside world that you have sacrificed!"

"What?" I couldn't help but jump out of the bed after hearing this: "It is said to the public that we have sacrificed? How can this be done? The soldiers finally came back alive from the battlefield and wanted to go home to see it! If we have sacrificed, what will their families do? What's more... the troops who picked us up last night knew that we were back, right?"

"You don't need to consider this!" Liu Shunyi replied: "The superiors have already strictly reported the news. The troops that were receiving you last night were quickly transferred to the rear to break away from the front line and were strictly controlled. As for the soldiers who wanted to go home and see... For the interests of the people of the whole country and for the victory of this war... they had to let the soldiers make some sacrifices to overcome them!"

I can also understand the ideas and practices of our superiors. Our special reconnaissance brigade can be said to be a secret force. If the Vietnamese army has just begun to be formed, they will know who our members are, what are the backbone, what are the training conditions, etc., then they are likely to be tracked and destroyed by Vietnamese agents. If our army is not formed for a long time, it will not only be a matter of personnel losses, but will also have a very bad political impact.

But even though that is the case, the soldiers were eager to return home when they were in Vietnam, and even for this belief, they have persisted until now. However, after a lifetime of death, the country has returned, but the home is close to us and cannot return, and even make their relatives think that we have sacrificed!

"Captain!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "This matter... why do you tell me to the soldiers? We can do it for credit, but now we are still going to say sacrifice to our family even though we are alive. This..."

"You just need to take care of your business!" Liu Shunyi interrupted me and said, "Let me leave the soldiers to me, I'll do their ideological work!"

As soon as I heard Liu Shunyi's tone, I knew that this matter was beyond discussion. I knew very well what "doing ideological work" means, that is, you have to agree if you don't agree. If you don't agree, keep "doing ideological work" until you agree!

"Yes!" Thinking of this, I had to respond helplessly.

"Battlefield Commander Cui!" After pausing, Liu Shunyi patted my shoulder with some helplessness and said, "I know you and the soldiers under your command have suffered a lot, but coincidentally... your troops are very consistent with the requirements of the superiors to form a special reconnaissance brigade. In addition, most people think that you have sacrificed, and the troops have even prepared documents to report to you, the martyrs. No one expected that you could still fight a bloody road in this situation and come back alive. We didn't expect that the Vietnamese agents lurking in our troops would even be even more unexpected. So we can do this to achieve the purpose of hidden development well. I hope you can understand!"

"Yes!" I stood up, but I was secretly surprised that the superior's plan for this special reconnaissance brigade would be so strict. Even I thought of these problems. From this perspective, the superior must have made detailed and meticulous plans, so I didn't say anything more.

But to my surprise, the soldiers did not show dissatisfaction or resistance when they heard this plan as I thought. They just remained silent for a while and nodded in agreement.

"We have no problem with the battalion commander!" The first person to speak was Li Zhifu. He tidied up his military uniform and continued: "Besides, now is the time when the country needs us, I agree!"

"I agree too!" The hometown people continued: "So many of our comrades have died on the battlefield, and many comrades have even sacrificed their lives to allow us to retreat safely. I feel embarrassed to go home and sleep! We want to avenge the sacrificed comrades!"

"Yes! Take revenge on the comrades who died!" Other soldiers agreed.

"Platform Leader Li!" I turned my eyes to Li Shuibo, who had not spoken, "What do you think?"

"Me?" Li Shuibo couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed: "Of course I have no objection... I was worried about going to the rear without any war! This task has come to my heart!"

The soldiers laughed out loud, but the laughter was a little bitter, because the soldiers all knew what it meant to take on this mission, which may mean that we will no longer be people in this world from now on, and that our relatives do not know that we are still alive...

"Comrades!" Liu Shunyi nodded with satisfaction when seeing the performance of the soldiers: "On behalf of the Party and the people, I thank you for your contributions and sacrifices to the country. Don't worry, we will take good care of your family, but I must make it clear that the formation of this army belongs to the ***. You cannot have any contact with your family. Can you do it?"

"Yes!" the soldiers stood up in unison and answered.

"Very good!" Liu Shunyi nodded and turned to me and said, "You guys prepare and we will set off tonight!"

"Yes!" Liu Shunyi's order surprised me because I didn't expect things to come so quickly. But I think it's normal to think about it. We are in the military camp now, and no one can guarantee that there are not many fellow villagers or Vietnamese agents in this military camp.

"Captain!" After accompanying Liu Shunyi out of the barracks, I couldn't help but ask in confusion: "We are a secret army, aren't we? Then Liu Yun..."

Liu Shunyi smiled at me happily, and said, "You will know then!" As he said that, he stepped onto the jeep without looking back.

It can be seen that Liu Yun didn't want to leave, but after letting Liu Shunyi glar, he pouted his mouth and waved at me and got into the car reluctantly.

Watching the jeep drive out of the military camp, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: I thought that there would be a few good days when I came back, but I didn't expect that this would end!

"Comrade!" Just as I was sympathetic, the two guards behind me came up again and said, "Comrade, please go back to the barracks! The superiors have an order, you should try to go out as little as possible!"

What? I was stunned when I heard this. Didn’t this put us under house arrest?

I returned to the barracks depressedly and sorted out a little, then lay bored on the bed waiting for darkness, thinking about this special reconnaissance brigade... This should be the earliest special forces of our army!

Just as Liu Shunyi said, our army exposed many problems during the ten days of counterattack war, and because these problems caused many unnecessary casualties in the battle, we made up our minds to reform the army after the war. These reforms include the army's combat system, updating equipment and improving logistics, restoring the military rank system, strengthening communication and command, etc. In order to improve the overall quality of the army, in a specific period, only people with high school or above education were allowed to be renovated in just a few years, and then embarking on the road of a modern army.

The special reconnaissance brigade handed over to me... is just one of the many reforms of our army. There are not many troops in hand, only one battalion organization, which is nothing compared to the four million troops in the country. But I know very well that its significance is very important, because it represents the first step of our special forces and the special forces of our army from scratch...

Can I do the tasks assigned to me by my superiors? I don’t know how the special forces are trained and I have no research on special operations, so I have some doubts whether I can serve as the captain.

But then again, at this time, I am afraid no one in our country knows any special operations yet! I at least learned some knowledge about special forces from TV and movies, so it is really appropriate for me to be the captain...

Perhaps it was because of the serious physical overdrawing, and I thought about it and didn’t know when I fell asleep.

I was woken up by a spiral noise. I poked my head out and saw that there were some PLA soldiers standing around the barracks at some point. Several helicopters slowly descended in the sky and parked on the flat ground in front of the barracks. Then Liu Shunyi walked down from one of the helicopters and shouted at the barracks where we were: "All of all!"

So I knew it was time for us to set off. What I didn't expect was that the one who came to pick us up this time would be a helicopter...

We sorted out the equipment as fast as possible and lined up outside the barracks. According to the order, we divided more than 50 people into five teams and boarded five helicopters. After a few minutes, the plane took off again.

It was the first time the soldiers took a plane, which was so strange! They were all so happy that they couldn't stop, looking at the scenery outside the window like children, some said that the mountain was like a beetle, some said that the lights below were really beautiful from the sky, and some even said that they could just take a few more flights in the future!
