War Military: From 1978

Chapter 215 The Instructor with a Big Addiction to Being a Weak Person
The retreat was carried out in an orderly manner.

Group C must have been taken care of by their superiors.

It may be because the C regiment was a second-line combat unit, but it was forcibly turned into a first-line combat unit. The entire regiment suffered huge sacrifices and made outstanding military achievements.

In this situation, we have to retreat, so we have arranged an easier route.

The retreat route was from Wudao all the way to the southwest, passing through the He'an area, and going back along the original attack route of the main force of the Third Division.

This is also an important route for material transportation now.

It comes directly from the country and connects directly to the main traffic arteries of Highways 3, 4 and 34.

This route was very difficult in the early stage. Even before the attack on GaoP, this route was not opened up. The Anle area even besieged the main force of our army for many days.

But now, after Gao P was captured, when several divisions of reinforcements arrived from behind.

We have complete control over this road line.

Although there were still sneak attacks and guerrilla warfare by the Vietnamese devils along the way, they were always just minor skirmishes.

"Hurry up! Captain Chu's team was ambushed by the Yue devils. A mule and a cow were killed. Wait until they deliver the meat. Let's quickly get two more cows out from the team!"

On the road, various vehicles were coming and going one after another, and on the roadside, there were troops driving cattle, mules, horses, and even pushing carts with manpower.

Group C, that's the situation now.

At this moment, the instructor of the special forces company was shouting out arrangements in a hurry. After shouting, he ran to the position where the regiment commander and others were waiting on the roadside in front.

"Captain, arrangements have been made!"

The instructor and even the deputy instructor of the special forces company had a weak presence in the front.

Because he was not a scout and his combat ability was limited, he could not keep up with the pace of the scouts on the battlefield. So, like Cui Jiying, he could only lead the guard platoon and the engineering platoon to follow the regiment commander.

Before that, Cui Jiying followed the regiment commander, and the instructor followed the commissioner with half a platoon of guards.

It was not until the evening of March 4th that Chu An saw this person again. He was only the deputy instructor before he went abroad.

"Okay!" The regimental commander threw away the cigarette in his mouth and turned to speak to the communicator: "Contact all the troops and tell everyone to be more careful and cautious.

Also, the front will soon reach He'an. All troops must gather supplies there. I'll hand the supplies over to the transport team!"

For the regular army, it is now impossible to retreat directly back to the country.

According to the instructions from the superiors, we were to provide cover in turns, fighting and retreating at the same time.

Regiment C was the first group of troops to retreat, but having arrived here, they couldn't just leave.

The supplies were handed over to the transport team and militia, and they were asked to transport them back to the country first, while Regiment C needed to take over the defense in He'an and continue to retreat after the follow-up troops arrived.

Of course, this task is not difficult.

When it comes to retreat, any discerning person can see that the biggest difficulty will definitely be the troops at the back of the team.

The troops mobilized by the Vietnamese devils in the south will definitely follow our army and sweep over.

The troops left behind are under the greatest pressure.

But now the task of covering the rear is not needed for Regiment C, nor for the first batch of main forces.

Some troops were arranged in the country to go in the opposite direction. On March 5, some troops set out from the country and went directly to the front line to take over the rearguard mission.

So in the evening, when Regiment C arrived in He'an, the handover of supplies was completed. Although each company and unit still separately occupied the positions around He'an, after a night had passed, many troops did not fire a shot.

Not to mention Chu An's special forces company.

They slept directly in He'an Town that night.

"Captain, why don't you take a break today? I'll lead the team to scout the surrounding area!"

On the 7th, the mission of Regiment C was still to garrison and wait for the rear troops to come and take over the defense.

But garrison is the responsibility of the infantry company, and scouts still need to go outside to scout the enemy situation to prevent the Vietnamese guerrillas from launching a sneak attack.

However, looking at the instructor who was holding white flour buns in front of him, Chu An couldn't help but frown.

"No need, instructor, you just need to be responsible for leading the guard platoon!"

Although Chu An didn't know what the instructor was thinking at the moment, why did he suddenly want to take the reconnaissance platoon out?

But he couldn't possibly agree to his request. Instructors, political workers, although many infantry company instructors were very strong, their physical fitness and combat capabilities were no worse than the company commanders, and some even ranked among the best in the company.

But that's for other units.

Chu An knew that this person from his unit had just been sent from the military academy before the war.

Before the war, a special forces company was formed, and this man, who had just graduated from the military, was directly appointed as the deputy instructor.

During the war, he and his instructor followed the commissioner in action. After the instructor died, he served as acting instructor.

Chu An had also heard some rumors in the past two days.

It seems to have come from the first battalion.

In short, it's just one sentence.

He is a bad person and likes to be a loudmouth.

Rumor has it that he was a very arrogant official, and the key point was that he was not only arrogant among the guards who came over from his command.

He also liked to "give advice" to other infantry companies on the battlefield.

In other words, he directly ordered the soldiers stationed in the company to adjust their defense positions according to his wishes.

Because of this, he even had a conflict with the company commander of the second company of the first battalion, and they almost fought on the spot on the battlefield.

Afterwards, the commissioner called the second company commander in for questioning.

In general, facing such an instructor, Chu An was actually a little speechless.

Although before the war, all personnel in each unit, whether grassroots soldiers, basic commanders, or even mid-level commanders, had no actual combat experience.

Many cadres don't even have much education or formal schooling.

There are many times when I write a letter that I cannot even finish.

But this is not a reason for him to be superior to others just because he graduated from a military academy.

"Haha, it's okay, Captain, you're a combat hero. No one will say anything bad about you taking a break. I just want to serve the people, too!"

Wu Xinmin didn't seem to understand Chu An's words. He still said with a smile: "The war is about to end. We have been stationed here. I also want to go out and see where the Vietnamese guerrillas are hiding outside and try to catch a few of them!"

The instructor smiled, as if his eyesight was not working well, and he didn't notice Chu An's frown at all.

Chu An looked at him.

She stared at him and subconsciously reached out to touch her face, then asked awkwardly, "Is there something on my face?"

"No!" Chu An said lightly: "I just feel that your face is too big!"

"Ah!" Wu Xinmin looked a little dazed, or rather a little embarrassed.

Chu An ignored his expression, and just looked at him seriously and said, "Comrade Wu Xinmin, I hope you can see clearly!
This is war, not a flag game!
Now the war is about to end, but just because it is about to end does not mean it is over!
We are still in enemy territory, and the enemy is still resisting!"

"My company commander, what do you mean?" Wu Xinmin's face turned pale and blue.

He didn't expect that he came here with good intentions to let Chu An take a rest today and go out to scout on his behalf, but he got this reaction.

Yes, he admitted that Chu An was a hero, and he also knew Chu An’s various achievements in battle, so he thought he was speaking very politely.

But he didn't expect Chu An to be so disrespectful.

"What I mean is, you should just do what you need to do. Don't get involved in unnecessary matters, and don't worry about them!"

Chu An took out a cigarette and lit it before continuing to look at him sideways: "If you want to lead the troops in battle, you must first show your ability."

Chu An pointed at his chest and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Do you have the professional skills and physical qualities of a scout?"

Ignoring his clenched fists and the uncertain expression on his face, Chu An continued to question him without mercy: "Without these, what makes you think you can lead troops out for reconnaissance?"

"you!"

Wu Xinmin's eyes were about to pop out of his head with anger.

He really didn't expect that when he came to find Chu An, he would be ridiculed and attacked so mercilessly by Chu An.

Looking at the other scouts in the yard of the house, some lying or sitting with disdainful expressions or simply laughing, he felt that he was embarrassed.
