50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 543 Back to the Front Lines
Although Sun Zhiwei was mentally prepared for this, he was still a little nervous when the time came.

It's impossible to stop them. Now the entire army is rotating through the battlefield, and it's Sun Aiguo's turn. Unless he's willing to give up his future, he can't back down.

"The Garland at the Foot of the Mountain" is more than just a story; many of the characters in the story are based on real people.

Zhao Mengsheng's mother is not an isolated case. Judging from Tong Jiajia's anxious appearance now, if she didn't have no acquaintances in the army, she would most likely become another Zhao Mengsheng's mother.

He knew his son quite well because Sun Aiguo had never lacked nutrition at home since he was a child, and was healthy and strong.

In addition, in terms of personal combat skills, Sun Aiguo has undergone several years of arduous training and has also passed on some special forces training methods. Although he is not top-notch now, he is not bad either.

In addition, Sun Aiguo had attended university for several years and was a rare high-tech talent in the military, so theoretically he would not be able to enter the front line of combat like ordinary soldiers.

Then, he remembered that there hadn't been any major developments in the Southwest this year, with both sides engaging in small-scale skirmishes.

Therefore, considering all the above factors, Sun Zhiwei is not actually very worried about his son's safety.

For our soldiers in the southwest, the most difficult thing was not fighting, but the physical discomfort caused by the hot and humid climate.

For example, non-combat casualties such as mosquitoes, dysentery, and rotten trousers have been the biggest problems plaguing the soldiers on the front lines.

Even if Sun Zhiwei went himself, he couldn't avoid this problem.

With poor transportation at the front lines, many supplies couldn't be delivered, and the soldiers spent long periods in dark, damp trenches with poor sanitation. It would be strange if they didn't get sick.

Tong Jiajia just didn't understand. All she knew was that her son was going to the front lines, which was a devastating blow to any mother.

But there was nothing she could do about it, so she could only vent her anger on Sun Zhiwei, giving him the cold shoulder for several days.

To be honest, this is understandable. What mother doesn't love her child? It's a mother's instinct.

Sun Zhiwei isn't some great, righteous figure, so he doesn't have such strict demands on his family.

Tong Jiajia gave him a hard time, and he could only endure it.

But this wait lasted for half a month. It was one thing not to have meat to eat before, but now that the meat was right in front of them and they couldn't eat it, they couldn't stand it.

Two weeks later, Sun Zhiwei was so pestered that he had no choice but to agree to go back and think of a solution.

This time, he will return under a different identity. Tong Jiajia cannot see him off at the airport. The US does need someone to oversee things here and handle the industrial issues.

So the two could only say goodbye at home. The night before he left, he gave the unruly woman a good beating and vented his anger.

A day later, Sun Zhiwei arrived in Kunming safely.

After leaving the airport, Sun Zhiwei went straight to Kunming for a big shopping spree.

He didn't buy much rice, flour, or cooking oil. The forward command post actually had enough food and drink supplies; it was just that the road conditions were bad and the transportation was troublesome.

Especially for frontline troops, who are constantly in the midst of combat, it is quite difficult to transport supplies up there.

So he mainly purchased scarce items that were needed on the front lines, such as floral water, medicated oil, cooling balm, glycerin suppositories, and Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, etc.

These items are not military supplies and are not cheap. They are often not included in regular supplies, but in reality, they are very popular among soldiers on the front lines.

On April 18th, Sun Zhiwei arrived at Pujiang Airport. The airport wasn't crowded, and there wasn't a grand waiting hall or control tower. After disembarking, Sun Zhiwei made a phone call from the airport to Lin Weiguo in Harbin.

He learned from Lin Weiguo that Sun Aiguo's troops were currently deploying defenses along the Laoshan line.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't leave the airport. He bought some food inside the airport and waited for his domestic feeder flight to Kunming to take off.

In the 80s, Kunming was gradually showing its vitality, with artistic teahouses where the elderly gathered and billiard stalls filled with billiard tables.

There were many men and women dancing ballroom dances in the park, and not far away, a group of children were surrounding a traveling performer who was performing a monkey show.

Although gunfire and artillery fire continued to erupt 300 kilometers away on the border, this place remained completely unaffected by the fighting on the front lines.

Sun Zhiwei traveled south in this peaceful atmosphere, but when he reached Wenshan, which was only a few dozen kilometers from the border, he noticed that the atmosphere on the streets was gradually becoming tense.

On the streets, the number of young people in military uniforms began to increase significantly, including both male and female soldiers. Many lightly wounded soldiers from the front lines were recuperating here.

I've heard that many single soldiers found their future partners while recovering from injuries, and most of these partners were nurses and military doctors.

Thinking about this, his thoughts suddenly started to wander.

Others can find wives here, so can Aiguo. Aiguo is old enough this year, and if they don't hurry, they'll miss out.

No matter the era, good girls are always sought after; those who hesitate and wait for good girls to come to them have virtually no chance.

They're not the main characters in the story, yet a Lin Daiyu might fall from the sky.

After arriving here, Sun Zhiwei did not go directly to Sun Aiguo. With such a long defensive line, who knew where his troops were stationed?

To get accurate information, you need to go through the higher-ups and then investigate further down the chain of command.

There's no need to go to the forward command post; it's heavily guarded there, and he can't get in without a proper reason. But getting into the logistics area isn't that difficult.

Although the military has a department specifically for managing family visits, he didn't want it to become common knowledge. His current rank wasn't low, and if the forward command heard about it, they certainly couldn't ignore it, which would naturally disrupt their work.

The logistics department is different; things aren't so urgent, so they can spare some time to help him look up information.

Of course, he couldn't ask for help for nothing. After thinking for a while, he went to the bus station, gave the station manager a pack of good cigarettes, and then rented a truck using his own ID.

He had arranged with his supervisor that it would only take one day, for which he would receive 50 yuan, with fuel costs to be paid separately. The purpose was to deliver a batch of donated supplies to the troops.

Supporting the front lines is a worthwhile endeavor no matter where you are.

Sun Zhiwei also got a work permit for Beijing, his supervisor got a pack of good cigarettes, the company earned a small amount of extra money, and nothing was delayed, so it was a win-win situation.

After renting the truck, Sun Zhiwei drove it out of the small town. Soon after, he drove the truck, loaded with supplies, to the logistics warehouse.

Upon learning that the supplies were donated free of charge by the public, the soldiers in the logistics department were not prepared to accept them. They were not going to take even a needle or thread from the public; the military has strict discipline.

As a result, Sun Zhiwei parked a truckload of supplies directly at the entrance of the supply warehouse, then got out of the truck and went into his office.
