War Military: From 1978

Chapter 204 The disappeared class !
"Shuush~"

It rained heavily.

The sky on the Vietnamese side is like the face of their country, changing at any time, just like a dog.

The sky was full of stars and the moon before, but now it is raining heavily.

Chu An was soaked by the rain, and so were the others.

"Hello. Hello.
Damn it, that's bad!"

The communicator wore headphones and looked helpless.

Electronic devices these days are extremely fragile. Not only do they consume a lot of power, but their batteries are also short-lived and not durable.

It may break down if it is soaked in water.

Although he had carried a waterproof bag before, the bag was damaged during the battle.

Fortunately, Class 2 still has an 861 available.

But it's obviously not useful in this kind of weather now.

Chu An looked back but didn't say anything.

It's broken, and there's no way to fix it now.

On this trip, no one brought any extra supplies, and all the weight was used to carry mines.

He raised his hand and looked at the compass.

"Hurry up!" Chu An turned back and urged.

Heavy rain has its advantages. With such heavy rain, the traces of their walking in the jungle can be quickly washed away.

But we still don’t know how many comrades can make it out.

I was very worried, but there was nothing I could do now. I could only rush to the meeting point as soon as possible and wait.

After another half hour, Chu An finally arrived at the high ground of the meeting point at around five in the morning.

There are caves on this high ground, and there are our own people here.

Regiment C arrived here yesterday afternoon.

This cave itself was also a place where a group of Vietnamese devils guarded civilians.

But now, the Vietnamese devils have been eliminated, and the civilians have been sent back to Ban Jun's home.

"Deputy Captain Chu, don't worry. Every one of your men is brave and skilled in battle. We will definitely return victorious!"

The person guarding here was a platoon leader from the third battalion. He handed Chu An a cigarette.

"Ok!"

Chu An hummed absentmindedly.

He lit a cigarette, his eyes still looking outside the cave.

"They're back, they're back, Platoon Leader, Deputy Company Commander Chu, your men are back!"

Suddenly, a sentry from the platoon of the third battalion ran in and shouted.

Chu An stood up immediately.

He ignored the cigarette he had just lit and rushed into the rain.

The other soldiers from the first and second squads also followed immediately.

Soon, Chu An saw twelve or thirteen people coming up the mountain in the heavy rain.

You can see that some injured people are being helped over.

But being able to come back here means that the problem is not big.

Chu An and other scouts hurried to meet them.

"Deputy company commander!"

"Good! I'm glad you're back. Let's go up the mountain quickly. There is ginger soup specially prepared for us by comrades from the third battalion in the cave!" Chu An stepped forward and supported an injured soldier.

These are people from Class 5 and Class 4.

Chu An has a photographic memory, and now he can tell which people are missing with just a glance.

I felt sad inside.

"The squad leader sacrificed himself to protect us by leading the enemy away!"

"The same thing happened to Comrade He Zhiguang. He just twisted his ankle, but in order not to drag us down, he threatened to commit suicide to force us to separate from them. In the end, we heard the explosion of the glorious bullet!"

Sorrow filled the air in the rain, and more than one soldier had red eyes, but no tears were visible.

The rain was so heavy that I couldn't tell whether I was crying or not.

Or perhaps, everyone was actually crying, but the rain forced everyone to be strong.

Class 4 and Class 5 rushed out and gathered together.

But now that I'm back, I'm missing six comrades.

Although they were not really familiar with each other, some soldiers even couldn't remember the names of their comrades from other classes.

But on the battlefield, everyone shared life and death, and even now that they were able to survive and return, many people felt that they owed them a life. It was their voluntary sacrifice that bought them precious time to retreat.

"Stop talking, let's go, take shelter from the rain and bandage the wound!" Chu An was also very sad.

In this battle, his originally reinforced reconnaissance platoon was crippled again.

These veterans, who could have enjoyed peace at home, voluntarily responded to the call to return to the army for the sake of national justice. However, after only joining the reconnaissance platoon for three or four days, they have to stay on this land forever.

He couldn't even retrieve their bodies.
The sky gradually began to brighten.

The scouts who had broken out in separate places also arrived here one after another.

There were casualties, including one of the three people who were sent with Wang Xiaohu to blow up the bridge.

But this is not the most worrying thing.

The most worrying thing is Class 6.

Chu An and his men waited on this high ground for a whole day.

From dawn to dusk, no one from Class 6 returned.

Chu Anxin sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Chu An, hasn't Class 6 come back yet?"

The leader's voice came from the headset.

Chu An smoked a cigarette, looked down the mountain and said weakly: "No."

The team leader was silent.

After a while, the regiment commander spoke again: "Then you will continue to rest here for one night. After the rest, your troops will go back to the 312 high ground tomorrow. Follow-up..."

After a pause, the team leader continued, "If Team Six doesn't come back later, I'll have Xu Yizhou stay there and wait for them."

"it is good!"

Chu An didn't say much.

In fact, by now, he, the team leader and everyone else knew that there was a high possibility that Class 6 would not be able to return.

They were all scouts with a clear retreat target, and the straight-line distance was only about ten miles.

If you are still alive, it is impossible not to come back for a day.

But the fact that an entire class was wiped out was a bit hard for Chu An to accept.

But you have to accept it even if you can't.

this is the truth.

In war, there is never a situation where you only gain advantages without suffering losses. The bullets fired from the enemy's guns are no less powerful than ours.

“Ah! Kill!”

"Squad leader, get down quickly!"

The cave was very quiet yet noisy that night. In the second half of the night, everyone lit a bonfire and no one continued to sleep.

Except for a few remaining soldiers, the rest of Chu An's soldiers were said to be veterans, but in fact it was their first time to go to the battlefield. Moreover, they were under the protection of a large force and they made it through without firing a single shot.

It was their first time to go to the battlefield, their first time to see blood, and their first time to see their comrades fall in front of them, or even their comrades sacrifice themselves to cover them.

The post-war trauma began to torment everyone that night.

Actually it's not just them.

During this period of time, every time Chu An closed his eyes, he saw bloody scenes.

Although he is a reborn person, he is not immune to the negative effects of war just because he is a reborn person.

He was also suffering from this torture.

But he didn't say anything, and neither did his other comrades.

When I was awakened, I would quietly light a cigarette and then sit alone in a daze for a while.

There is no post-war psychological counseling these days. Everyone has to bear everything on their own and rely on their strong hearts to heal the trauma caused by the war.

"The comrades from squad six will definitely be back. They might have gotten lost. Platoon leader, should we wait a little longer today?"

On the top of the mountain, it is a new day. Although the air is still filled with the smell of gunpowder, the heavy rain last night has diluted the smell a lot.

At this moment, Wang Xiaohu stood behind Chu An and spoke. Behind him, the other scouts who had returned here were also following behind.

Thirty-two people.

Including Chu An, there are thirty-three people.

But when they set out, there were more than fifty people.

"I also believe they will come back, but we still have our own things to do. Let's go, they are back, we are here to pick them up!"

Chu An turned around, didn't look back, and didn't say anything else.

Although he knew that what he said was just a beautiful vision.

But it is better to have a vision than to despair.

As long as there is no definite news, there is still hope that they will come back, right?
