"Comrade, please go here!" Staff Zhang made way forward, and we saw a row of cars parked in front of us... So we didn't need to think about it, getting on the car... Although we didn't know
Where are you going
As a soldier, we must get used to all this, that is, we often don’t know where we are going or where our future is...
Staff Officer Zhang and I were sitting in a jeep, and the car was shaking along the rugged highway... I am full of memories of such a highway, the road leading to the front line... Because I usually have too much responsibility
There are too many transportation tasks, and on this road, there are trucks loaded with soldiers or ammunition, and sometimes they may even drop a few shells or fight a small battle, so the road conditions become terrible.
Even if the troops have arranged personnel to maintain this road.
This reminds me of many past events, especially those on the high ground where we once fought... the battles that happened there, the lost comrades...
Staff Zhang was also worried and didn't say a word, so the jeep was dull... only the rumble from the engine and the sound of the windows when the body swayed.
"Staff Officer Zhang!" I thought I should say something, so I asked Staff Officer Zhang casually: "It's the third day now! How is the situation? Is the target still alive?"
When Chief Zhang heard this, he turned his head, with a little contempt on his face and anger in his eyes...
"Battlefield Commander Yang!" Chief Zhang replied: "What you are talking about... refers to two correspondents from the division headquarters? If so... Then I tell you that they are still alive, and we do not regard them as
The target...because they are our comrades-in-arms and our brothers! No matter what... we rescue them, not..."
Staff Officer Zhang didn't finish his words, but I understood what the unfinished words mean... From this point of view, they might have a chance to get rid of the two correspondents, but they didn't do so!
Later I realized that this was indeed true...Once the division headquarters also made a ruthless order to sacrifice the small and protect the big, and divided the scouts who penetrated into Badong into two parts, one part being the main force...
Launching a feint attack on Badong to rescue the correspondent, but in fact the main force is another part, a team of two people secretly sneaking into the room where the correspondent was detained with explosives... All they had to do was to induce the explosion inside.
The explosives died together with the people inside, but unfortunately... the warriors who were carrying out the mission still couldn't take action in the end!
They were not afraid of death themselves... because after they came in, there was basically no possibility of going back alive. They saw a glimmer of hope to rescue the correspondent alive... It was this glimmer of hope that made this mission fail!
When I knew about this... I didn't know what to say...
If this decision is wrong...that is indeed not right. The battlefield should be more concerned. When it is time to give up, you must be cruel when it is time to be cruel, otherwise it will cause more heavy losses to your troops and even the entire army.
, Just like now... the scout casualties continue!
If this decision is right...that is actually right, because you just need to think about it differently...If the person who is detained and tortured is yourself... Then can you easily make this cruelty?
The soldiers who fight often think like this... Because they are all soldiers, they are fighting against the enemy on the battlefield... So, if we abandon the wounded and ignore the bodies of our comrades, other soldiers will think...
If we are injured and sacrifice tomorrow... is this the end?
Same... the soldiers would have similar ideas for the two captured correspondents. So this is actually not a simple matter of interests, but a matter of morale and morale!
"I have no other intention!" I said, "I just want to know the situation!"
"I know!" Staff Officer Zhang narrowed his eyes: "As soon as you come... they were basically sentenced to death!"
"Is that?" I smiled bitterly: "I don't understand why you think so!"
"The reason is very simple!" Chief Zhang replied: "Because it is much easier to solve them than to rescue them!"
I couldn't help but remain silent because what Staff Officer Zhang said was indeed the truth!
"And you have nothing to do with these two correspondents!" said Staff Officer Zhang: "You don't even know them, don't know their names, don't know what they look like, don't know what their relatives they have... All you need is just
Complete the mission, so...you have no reason to choose to save them!"
I was still speechless... because Staff Zhang had a very good reason. If we start from the perspective of completing the task... it is indeed like what he said!
"This is their information!" Staff Zhang handed a stack of documents to me: "I hope you can understand these first when performing your mission..."
I took the documents and flipped through them... These are the information of these two correspondents who re-captured the prisoners. There are two yellow black and white photos in the upper left corner, and the rest of the parts are written with the date of birth, family status and resume.
wait……
It is obvious that Staff Zhang hopes that I can "get" them first... but I am not interested in this. I just glanced at it and handed back the documents to Staff Zhang!
"This is not the information I need!" I said.
Staff Officer Zhang looked very disappointed. He sighed and handed another document to me, reporting to me coldly: "The target is detained in a temporary prison in the northeast corner of Banan... The prison
It was transformed from an abandoned factory. Because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is located at the dead corner of our army's artillery, so it is impossible to provide artillery fire protection... The other side is surrounded by water, making it difficult for our reconnaissance department to expand its forces... However, the Vietnamese army has two
The agent company occupied the surrounding important areas in squads and platoons. Our army launched sneak attacks along different routes several times... They were all killed and injured because they were ambushed by the Vietnamese army! The specific battle process and casualties were recorded in the file.
…”
I looked at the number of casualties... The more than 200 people that Commander Zhang told me have grown to more than 300... And these casualties happened in the past two days... It is conceivable that this war was fought.
How tragic!
After looking through the documents in my hand, I ordered: "Pass the order and stop all rescue activities!"
"Yes!" Chief Zhang responded numbly.
In his eyes... these two correspondents seem to have no hope of survival! (To be continued.)
