War Military: From 1978

Chapter 244 Family members come to the team and merits are awarded!
"Company Commander, I'm sorry, I didn't lead my comrades well and failed to bring them back safely!"

In the field hospital, when Chu An found Qian Yuzhou, he stood up with the remaining scouts, and then said these words to Chu An sadly.

Chu An stepped forward and stood still.

"There's no need to apologize. We are all soldiers, and it's our duty to go to the battlefield and carry out our mission!"

Chu An already knew about their battle.

No one made any mistakes. Their order was to find out why the enemy was able to fight back after being hit by artillery.

Finally they completed the mission and learned that the enemy was hiding in the dug holes and firing artillery.

Unless the shells hit the pits accurately, they cannot be destroyed.

But the enemies are not dead. They will also have defensive arrangements and hide people outside the positions to guard.

The scouts approached for reconnaissance and were discovered, then they started fighting, and when they retreated they unfortunately stepped on a landmine. In this case, who can be said to be at fault?
There is no doubt about it, if you want to blame someone, blame it on the war.

On the battlefield, there is never a situation where you only gain advantages without suffering any losses.

Chu An walked into the tent where the two wounded were.

They had completed the surgery, but both of them were still unconscious.

Chu An took a look, then went out and took Qian Yuzhou and the others back, leaving the second squad leader waiting for the two soldiers to wake up.

Pingguanshan, they don’t have to go back.

They were originally sent to Pingguan Mountain to use their observation and quick response capabilities to prevent enemy agents from sneaking up at night.

But now the situation has changed.

Hundreds of Vietnamese devils suddenly approached the southern slope of Hill No. 4.

They only have one squad, and now there are three casualties. In this situation, they can't play much of a role if they stay there.

That afternoon, Chu An led the soldiers of the second squad to bury the deceased second squad deputy.

This was the first time Chu An witnessed his comrades being sent to rest in peace underground.

But today he couldn't afford to be too sad. Even after he turned around from the mountain, he had been trying to calm down his emotions.

Because the first batch of family members closer to the southwest have already arrived at the base.

As soon as Chu An and his companions came down the mountain, they saw people of all ages coming towards them from the garrison, accompanied by soldiers.

"Don't look so sad, control your emotions!" Chu An turned around and reminded.

As he spoke, he led his men to quicken their pace and move forward to meet them.

Because he also saw Wu Xinmin and several soldiers from the special forces company accompanied by several family members in the team.

"Company Commander, these are the family members of Luo Yong, Yan Jianping, and Jiang Hai!"

Chu An walked closer quickly. Wu Xinmin, who was standing next to the group, waited for Chu An to come over and immediately introduced them to him.

Although the two of them rarely chatted in the past, he didn't dare to ignore Chu An's situation today.

After all, if he doesn't receive the family members well and causes trouble in front of them, he will definitely be in trouble.

"Hello, leader!"

An old man who was supported by Wang Xiaohu heard Wu Xinmin's introduction and hurriedly greeted Chu An with tears in his eyes.

"Uncle, I'm sorry I didn't pick you up right away!"

After saying that, Chu An looked at the other family members around him.

A total of seven family members of the three martyrs came, including two elderly people, a middle-aged man, two women and a child who looked only three or four years old.

Chu An read the information sent back by Cui Jimin.

Luo Yong is still single, so this time his old father and elder brother came, while Yan Jianping's old mother and wife came, and finally Jiang Hai's wife came with their children.

It can be seen that they all look haggard, especially the two women, who look dazed.

For them, the sacrifice of their husbands was like the end of the world! Chu An felt very sad when he saw their appearance, but he had to endure it.

We returned with them to the martyrs' cemetery, which was named the Heroic Soul Mountain.

"Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences. Eat something. The child is still young. You must take care of yourself!"

At dinner time, Chu An looked at the woman who was only feeding her child but not eating a single bite herself and couldn't help but give her some advice.

On the side, Wu Xinmin, Qian Yuzhou, and Tan Ziyi were also persuading other family members.

The family members came over and the food was extremely rich, with food from animals that ran on land and swam in the sea, but the family members sat at the table and hardly opened their mouths.

For them, this kind of meal might be the first time they have seen it in their lives, but obviously, they don't want to eat it.

No matter how delicious the food is, they can't eat it without their children and husbands.

The child, who was not very sensible yet, can now eat delicacies from land and sea that he has never tasted before.

Chu An also understood their feelings, but he didn't have the ability to bring those comrades back to life, so all he could do now was try his best to comfort them.

After nearly an hour, they still hadn't taken many bites of their meal.

Chu An could only instruct the kitchen staff to keep the food warm and prepare to deliver it to them again in the evening.

"report!"

As night fell, Chu An was notified and came to the regiment headquarters.

"Come in!"

The regimental headquarters was still shrouded in smoke, with the regimental commander, the commissioner, and the divisional commissioner whom he had met before standing inside.

"Hello, Chief!"

Chu An calmed down and saluted them as he stepped in.

"How are the family members?" The head of the group asked with a gloomy look, a cigarette between his lips.

"They're not in the best spirits and didn't eat much for dinner. I asked the kitchen staff to heat up the food. I'm going to send it to them again when I get back!"

"Well, bring this to them too!"

The leader walked to the side, reached out and picked up a red box from the table.

Chu An was stunned for a moment.

But he still reached out and took it.

At this time, the division commander next to him spoke up: "We were originally planning to hold a celebration meeting for your C Regiment, but the Vietnamese devils didn't give us the chance.

Now most of the soldiers in your regiment are in a state of war, and we don’t know how long this situation will last in the future, so just keep everything simple.

The celebration will be postponed until the war is truly over and you are all rotated back to your base!"

After saying that, Zhengwei came to Chuan.

Reaching out and patting Chu An's shoulder, he smiled and said, "Chu An, congratulations on winning the honorary title of Model Combat Hero!"

"Huh?" Chu An was stunned again, but then he reacted.

Look down at the box in your hand!
"There are two more first-class merits and one second-class merit!" The group leader also came up with a smile.

It is not appropriate to hold a celebration ceremony now, so the merit is given to you as it is.

After saying that, he pointed at the box in Chu An's hand.

"Inside are the medals of honor of all the soldiers in your special forces company. Now the families of the martyrs have arrived. You will hand these medals directly to them!"

Chu An felt a surge of surprise in his heart, then fell into silence.

I have won an honorary title and two first-class merit awards, which is something to be happy about.

But when he looked down at the box, thought about the medals of the fallen comrades inside, and thought about the expressions of the family members just now, he really couldn't feel happy.
