War Military: From 1978

Chapter 143: C Group’s Problems, Return to the Team!
"Xiao Chu, why are you so anxious?

Although your injury is not serious, the humidity and temperature in this damn place we are in are too high.

Although your injury may appear fine on the surface, if it gets wet, there is a high possibility of inflammation.

Furthermore, the sanitary conditions on the battlefield are not up to standard. If you were to go back to the battlefield now, it is very likely that this injury would become a fatal problem after just two or three days of recuperation!"

In Director Liu's office, Director Liu's attitude towards Chu An today is completely different from Director Liu's attitude yesterday.

Even the words he spoke were filled with concern.

Chu An smiled and said, "Director, my injury is really not a big deal, and I will take care of it myself. I will bring a bag of wood ash and charcoal powder with me when the time comes. At most, I will wrap it with gauze a few more times, and it will not affect my combat effectiveness!"

After a pause, Chu An spoke again: "Director, our current situation is not optimistic. I was originally the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, and I was the one who led the scouts of our C Regiment.

Now, my deputy company commander has died. If I don't go back, I'm worried that my soldiers will lose their backbone!"

"Hey, you."

Director Liu shook his head, and after a few seconds he looked at Chu An and said, “Look at others, they all think they can return home after getting injured.

You, on the other hand, are still thinking about going to the battlefield even though your wounds haven't healed yet, you!"

Chu An laughed again: "Director, you shouldn't say such nonsense. Our soldiers are not so ignorant. The lightly wounded soldiers are all crying out to go back for revenge!"

What Director Liu described was indeed the case, but these words were basically just self-consolation and ridicule from the seriously injured soldiers.

They have already lost their combat effectiveness and are even disabled. Saying these words can only be regarded as comforting to themselves and other seriously injured comrades.

"Hey! You!"

Director Liu sighed again, but this time he didn't refuse.

After returning to his desk, he began to write a note to Chu An.

But while writing, he also continued to speak: "I'll give you a note later. See when the stretcher-bearing team from your C Regiment comes to bring someone over, and then you can go with everyone else.

Also, I'll have someone give you a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine. Bring it with you, and have your medical officer change it for you every day when you get to the army!"

"Yes! Thank you, Director!"

Chu An smiled and stood at attention and saluted.

Soon, Chu An walked out of here.

After going to the next tent and taking the note to collect his ID and other personal belongings, he went to the guard company to collect a Type 54 submachine gun and the Type pistol that originally belonged to him.

He lost his AK on the battlefield and did not bring it with him after he fell into a coma. The reason why he was able to get a Type 54 submachine gun now was because the company commander of the guard company found one for him after seeing that the only firearm he had stored was a Type 54 pistol.

"Comrade Chu An, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Take care of yourself. After the battle, I'll come and have a drink with you!"

In the storage tent of the guard company, the company commander saluted Chu An.

"Comrade Ma Tiejun, I'm waiting for your wine!" Chu An, who was fully armed again, returned the greeting and spoke with a smile.

I only learned this person's name after the battle last night.

"Okay! It's a deal!" Ma Tiejun stretched out his hand and clenched his fist.

Chu An smiled and clenched his fist and bumped into him.

"Take care of yourself!"

"Ok!"

Chu An nodded and turned around with a smile.

In fact, neither of them was sure whether the other could survive the war. This agreement could be regarded as a friendship based on fighting side by side last night, and also as a blessing from both sides to each other.

Wish each other to survive the war and to be able to drink together again after the war.

Group C, the group is not too far away from Tong L County.

Just three or four kilometers.

It seemed that the situation here at Group C was relatively good and calm, but in fact, the group leader and others in the group had their brows almost furrowed into the shape of a "川" character.

It was as if there was a fire in the tent.

Thick smoke filled the air.

"Damn, this damn map!"

Suddenly, the team leader punched the table in front of him with a map.

He couldn't stand it any longer.

On the side, the deputy division commander stationed in the regiment took a long puff of his cigarette and sighed deeply after seeing the regiment commander's actions.

"Hey!"

He was also helpless.

Although the map had some discrepancies during Regiment C's previous attack, the terrain had been corrected by scouts reconnoitering the area before the battle. However, now that they were truly deep into an unreconnoitered area, and their main attack route was blocked, trouble arose when they tried to find an alternative route.

This map is from decades ago and is now seriously inconsistent with the original, coupled with the Vietnamese devils' actions of bombing roads and destroying bridges.

They had to escort ten trucks of supplies, but the road was not good and the trucks couldn't pass.

Moreover, even if there are roads in some places, you have to consider whether you can pass through them. For example, in places where there are cliffs and highlands on both sides, if you dare to go there, the Vietnamese devils will definitely ambush you.

The superior's plan is very good.

Let a battalion of the C Regiment carry some supplies and go along the main attack route to find the infiltration regiment on the front line, give them emergency supplies first, and then let the second battalion of the C Regiment take a detour to escort the supplies delivered by car.

But in this situation, the Third Battalion can't get through, and the Second Battalion is also in trouble. They can't even find a way to go on the map.

Of course, they don't just sit here and look at maps.

Each company selected an elite squad, led by the dozen or so remaining scouts, to go out and find a way.

But even this could not hide their irritation, because they had been looking for a way out all night, but the reality was that there was not a single path that could be taken.

"report!"

Suddenly, a sound came from outside the makeshift tent.

"Huh?" The team leader turned his head in confusion.

Because he was familiar with Chu An's voice.

But isn’t Chuan in the hospital?
He took a few steps forward and reached out to grab the door curtain.

Immediately, Chu An, fully armed, appeared outside the tent.

"Why did you come back?"

The leader, who was in a bad mood, couldn't help but smile at this moment.

Chu An is an absolute hero in his regiment. The SVD sniper rifle he had previously led others to recapture had won loud applause from the superiors and also made his C regiment famous again.

Because it was the first sniper rifle with night vision captured on the entire front line.

Moreover, Chu An also made significant contributions when attacking the other side of the river.

A reconnaissance platoon rushed to the enemy's artillery position and cut off the enemy's artillery fire, allowing the main force to destroy the enemy's high ground on the opposite bank without any worries.

It is no exaggeration to say that when he learned that Chu An was injured, he was anxious and hurriedly asked about the situation. He was relieved to learn that the injury was not serious and he was just knocked unconscious by a stone.

"Comrade Commander, Special Agent Lian Chuan requests to return to the team!"

Chu An looked at the captain's smile and couldn't help but smile as well and spoke.

"Okay! Come in, come in. I'm worried about it. Come over and see if there is any solution!" The team leader hurriedly called Chu An in.

Finding routes and reconnaissance are originally the professions suitable for scouts.

Although all the scouts in the regiment have been sent out now.

But the other scouts are just soldiers after all, while Chu An is a cadre of the scouts, and he is also the best one in all the scout assessments.

Chu An's return at this critical moment finally relieved some of his inner distress.

Of course, only some.

Because Chu An is a human being after all, he is not a god, and he cannot create a path to the infiltration group.

"it is good!"

Chu An followed him into the tent.

Seeing the deputy division commander inside, Chu An stood at attention again and saluted to greet him.

This is not the wilderness, so proper etiquette is still required.

"Comrade Chuan is back!
Haha, good, you're back just in time. Your commander and I were just worried about this!" The deputy division commander also forced a smile.

Of course, their smiles soon disappeared.

Including Chu An who had just entered the tent.

As soon as they told him the situation, especially when he looked at the routes marked with X on the map, his brows immediately furrowed like that of a man in his sixties.

He really has no good solution to this kind of problem!

It seems that the only way is to integrate the troops, find a way to push forward, and then have the engineers follow behind to build a road for the transport team to pass.

"Captain, have you ever taken prisoners and tortured them?"

Chu An looked at the map for a while and then looked up.
