The next morning, just as the genius was dawn, we received the order to gather.
The soldiers emerged from the tent nervously, and their faces were full of doubts.
I know what they are wondering: Isn’t this still one day before the scheduled war start time? What are you doing at this time?
By the way, because the war is about to start soon, the most we have done in the camp these days is training. This training includes disguising, building trenches and individual bunkers, etc., but even if it is training, it is not so early!
The company commander didn't explain anything to us, and directly issued a command: "Standing at the sight...to the left! Running..."
The group of people ran to the bottom of the mountain and saw that there were several cars parked on the highway. So the soldiers were even more worried. Some soldiers couldn't help but whisper: "Is this going to the battlefield? I'm not ready yet
Woolen cloth!"
"Yes!" Some soldiers also said worriedly: "I haven't even brought all the bullets yet, so I'll say it if I want to fight!"
...
The company commander still did not answer, but gave us a loud order: "Get on the bus!"
The troops took four cars in different places, each car was equipped with a row, and the fourth car was equipped with company headquarters, kitchen team and logistics personnel. So, except for a few personnel in charge of duty at the camp, the entire company went all out.
.
When the car started to "rose", the soldiers became more and more nervous. Some soldiers even had pale faces and trembled all over, and they seemed to be unable to stand steadily. I don't know if it was because of motion sickness or why.
"Don't worry!" Seeing this, I couldn't help but comfort them, "It's not time for war yet!"
"Platform leader, how did you know?" The one who was most concerned about this question was Wu Zhijun's new recruits, so he immediately continued to ask.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "You guys think about it with your head... We are only a dozen miles away from Sabah, so we need to take a car? And we should walk along the road? Wouldn't that be sent to the Vietnamese devils? Let's talk about it.
...You don't look at the direction of the car?"
"Oh!" After hearing what I said, the energetic soldiers woke up and realized that the direction of the car was indeed behind...
So a new question arises:
"Aren't you going to fight? Why are you taking us back?"
“Is there a new mission?”
"Don't you fight?"
...
No recruits! There are many problems.
But I also know that in fact, they don’t really want to know the answer to the question. Instead, they ask more questions to relieve their fear. What about us who have fought? It’s useless to know how to ask. This battle is to run.
Not lost.
What I didn't expect was... our destination turned out to be a field hospital.
The car swayed all the way toward the rear, and finally stopped with a "squeak" sound after more than half an hour. I jumped out of the car with my soldiers and saw it, and couldn't help but be stunned... The one in front of us was actually just being
Vietnamese agents sneak attacked the burned field hospital.
The troops soon lined up in front of the car, and then advanced to the ruins of the hospital in a sequence of one, two, three rows, company and logistics.
The instructor walked in front of the team. He shouted at us with a small trumpet while walking: "Comrades! This is the field hospital that was sneak attacked by Vietnamese agents the night before. Do you see the burnt house in front?
In that small house, our containment team found thirty-five bodies, five of which had gunshot wounds, and the rest were burned alive... We sacrificed a total of 316 wounded people,
Forty-five military doctors, among them thirteen nurses. The Vietnamese Japanese were extremely cruel, and even the wounded and female soldiers who were seriously injured lying on the hospital bed were not spared... Comrades! Doctors and nurses in field hospitals,
They are all for treating the wounded and sick. Some of us comrades have been injured here. They can be said to be our benefactors..."
I couldn't listen anymore, and I only felt a "swooshing" cold on my face, and sometimes I even felt that the instructor was talking about me.
I really didn't expect to be taken to this place again. I am so familiar with every ward here... I have lived in that room, the one belonged to the leader, and here he lived by Zhang Fan and a few nurses.
...
The memories of the past surged into my mind like a tide again, which made me a little overwhelmed, and even feared to follow the troops in.
At this time, one hand held me and looked to the side and didn't know when Chen Yiyi stood beside me.
She sighed loudly that she came up when the sky was not bright and others were not paying much attention. She pinched my hand, her eyes full of encouragement and support.
I soon thought that Chen Yiyi was also a person who suffered, and compared with her, what could this little pain be considered? So she gritted her teeth and followed the troops slowly forward.
Then I soon discovered that it was not just our troops who came here, but the cars sent the soldiers from the front line one after another. They were like us, led by the instructor and surrounded the ruins.
One circle. Of course, when going around the circle, the instructor will detail the tragic battle on the side, and then concentrate on the glutinous yard to make a final summary.
The summary is almost the same as we always hear. Just like our instructor yelled: "Comrades! In the most difficult time in Vietnam, we Chinese tightened our belts and helped the Vietnamese selflessly. It can be said that the Vietnamese are in war Most of the food, clothing, use, vehicles, weapons, and ammunition in my country are supplied by our country. Our lives are not rich, but in order to allow Vietnam to break free from the difficulties of imperialist aggression as soon as possible, we still have less time to save money. Save to save food and provide it to them!
However, after Vietnam defeated American imperialism with our help, militarist thought began to expand rapidly, first publicly claiming that it was the third military power in the world, then expelling and persecuting overseas Chinese, and even making unreasonable territorial demands on China.
, claiming that China's Xisha and Nansha Islands are Vietnam's territory and sent troops to occupy some islands in the Nansha Islands.
It is unbearable, comrades! The Vietnamese devils are ungrateful and scattered. We must use heroic battles to teach Vietnamese revisionism a severe lesson, and use the blood of the enemy to avenge the comrades who died in the field hospital!"
“Down with Vietnamese revisionism!”
"Avenge the comrades in the field hospital!"
...
Then there were slogans after whistle, so I realized that this was a pre-war mobilization and ideological education. The purpose... was to replace the fear in the hearts of the soldiers with anger.
This fear includes both the fear of the enemy and the fear of killing the enemy.
It should be said that this trick works very well, because people often do things when they are angry, such as losing their minds when they are angry, and killing people when they are angry... Everything seems to be after anger.
It will all be taken for granted.
Of course, this education was very successful, because I obviously felt that the soldiers were different when they were going back by car... When they came, they were afraid of this and that, and when they went back, they all scolded the atrocities of the Vietnamese army.
Of course, what they hate the most and regret the most is the sacrifice of the dozen nurses.
I could only say nothing, licking my wound silently on the side... Sometimes I even wonder, if Zhang Fan appeared in front of me again, would I still let her down as much as before and reject her?
I don't know, I only know that I have recognized a person - the one-eyed dragon. I believe that only on the day when I kill him with my hands will I feel that I have slightly rewarded Zhang Fan's feelings for me and will be worthy of those sacrifices Comrades-in-arms, I am worthy of the old dean...
After returning from the field hospital, this ideological work is not over yet.
Then the instructor immediately struck the iron and said something, and then wrote a "letter of request for battle" and a "letter of determination".
These are very useful for those new recruits who have never fought, just like Wu Zhijun and others... They were scared not long ago, but now they are all excited and want to go to the battlefield immediately. Some soldiers even wrote blood books. ...
But for those of us who have been on the battlefield, we seem to be a little powerless. Because we all know that as soon as we go to the battlefield, these patriotism and meritorious service will appear small, and then we will only think about it. One thing - kill the enemy and survive!
And for me, a modern person, I don’t like this one.
My thoughts at this time were actually very simple: I was willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, rather than to avenge Zhang Fan for his dead comrades, it was better to comfort myself and make myself less condemned.
"Platform leader, don't you write a few words?" Wu Zhijun looked at me in a daze with his gun in his arms, then walked up and asked.
I raised my head and looked at the soldiers who were writing the letter of request for war with paper and pen and said calmly: "After writing the letter of request for war, don't forget to leave a letter to your family!"
My words immediately seemed to pour a basin of cold water on the soldiers, which made them calm down and look at me blankly.
Maybe they only remembered at this time...yes, it was time for them to leave something to their families.
What should I leave?
I don’t know if I can come back, should I write it as a suicide note or something else?
Only then did the soldiers realize that it seemed much more difficult to leave some words to their families than to write a letter of request for battle, and to make a letter of determination...
I don't know if I did this right. In some ways, I dragged my soldiers into fear and nostalgia for my family again, which of course makes them afraid to face the upcoming battlefield.
However, what I hope is that they can rationally protect their lives and cherish their lives on the battlefield, rather than rushing forward with the enemy's bullets when they attack the Vietnamese tunnels when they are hot...( To be continued.
