War Military: From 1978

Chapter 256: Running into Hell
During an outing, the relationship between Chu An and Qin Wanqiu seemed to be exposed.

Although neither of them said it explicitly, in the face of jokes between comrades and colleagues, neither of them actually explained or even tacitly agreed.

Love came a little too hastily for Chu An.

Before the counterattack, Chu An had never thought about this at all.

Especially during war, where every day is a battle between life and death, there is no time to think about things like love.

But it’s post-war now.

Although Group C is still in a state of war.

Although gunshots were still heard from time to time in Pingguan Mountain.

But the situation is now under control, and the Vietnamese army is retreating, although we know through reconnaissance intelligence that they are indeed retreating to build roads and bridges.

But no matter what, at least we can have peace for two or three months.

“Gee-Gee!”

Two horses galloped quickly along the border road.

Chu An was in front, followed by Cai Youhe, who looked like he had lost all hope in life.

The vacation is over. Although love seems to be unwilling to be lonely and is stirring Chu An's heartstrings, Chu An is still Chu An.

He could endure the pain of love, but he had not forgotten the war. He was a soldier and the chief of the combat section, and he had not forgotten it even more.

Now that the combat unit’s rotation is over, he personally leads his men to prepare to go to Pingguan Mountain.

Chu An has always insisted that only those who have experienced it personally have the right to speak.

The previous battle of Pingguanshan did not require any planning from the combat department.

Because this place is under the direct command of the Second Battalion Commander, and Chu An and his men didn't have much time and energy to take care of it before.

But now that the work in other places has ended, the combat unit, in addition to collecting intelligence according to the established plan on the occasional entry of the reconnaissance platoon to cause minor damage, is supervising the training progress of all units of the regiment according to the training plan.

From being tense to being relaxed.

Chu An was also happy to see this, because it meant that the intensity of the war was reduced.

But he knew that this was only temporary, so there was no reason for the combat unit to be idle.

So, Chu An went to the chief of staff to apply.

The combat unit then took turns going to Pingguanshan to experience life on the front line.

Obviously, Chu An's decision made the deputy section chief and three staff officers very reluctant.

They are playing with their brains!

It’s okay that Chu An had ordered him to cross mountains and rivers before.

It's just a one-time thing, so I'll endure it through it.

But now?

Chu An's plan is to take turns going up the mountain for a week.

This is so uncomfortable!

If given a choice, who would want to go to that damn place called Pingguan Mountain now?
Although they are in the agency, it does not mean that they are unaware of the situation on the front line.

The entire battalion ran around the mountain naked.

Hiding in the anti-artillery cave at night, not only did we have to worry about the Japanese devils stuffing grenades in, but we also had to worry about snakes, insects, rats and ants.

What’s more, I have to worry that while I’m sleeping, the water accumulated from the heavy rain will rush in and flood the cave.

And this is not the worst thing.

Staying in that damn place, my crotch and feet are rotten, and my skin is even ulcerated.

It can be said that it is hell.

I only saw some people trying to climb out, but no one took the initiative to help themselves in.

So when Chu An said this last night, the people in the combat department immediately became excited, and everyone raised their hands in opposition.

But their objection was in vain.

The arm cannot bend the thigh. Chu An is the section chief, and he is also a practical man with outstanding military achievements.

They were completely helpless in front of Chu An.

So the poor Cai Youhe was forced to ride horses with Chu An and be the first group to go up the mountain.

The other three were waiting for their turn. "Are you really not sick?"

On Hill No. 3, when Chu An brought Cai Youhe over, there were people lying on the north slope.

Today the sun came out again, which is rare.

So now all the soldiers of the Second Battalion who were scattered all over the mountains ran out and found a place to lie down.

The situation is a bit disastrous.

Everyone was lying here naked with their legs spread apart.

Of course, this is not them being hooligans.

They are all soldiers, how could they act like hooligans? They are just showing off their eggs.

Forced by the situation, it is a helpless behavior in the war situation.

Crotch rot is a disease that cannot be cured in Pingguan Mountain.

Even if various medicines were sent up, it would be useless.

This is caused by excessive humidity.

When this problem occurs, it not only causes unbearable itching in daily life, but also directly affects the ability to move.

So everyone will take advantage of the limited opportunity when the sun is out but not yet strong, and use the sun to bask in the affected area to make it dry and feel better, and then apply some medicine, which may help it get better.

At this moment, Tong Lianzhong did not stand up when he saw Chu An coming, but changed from fully lying to half lying.

But the way he looked at Chu An was wrong, as if he was looking at a fool.

Indeed, this damn place, at first he actually thought it was not so bad. Although life in the mountains was hard, it would pass if he endured it.

But who knew that this would last for more than two months.

Although he couldn't bear it halfway through, he was rotated out and rested for a month.

But no matter how long he rested, when he ran up the mountain again, he still felt that this life was worse than death.

It can be said that the reason why he is still staying here is entirely because he is a soldier.

It is the belief in defending the country that supports him and his soldiers.

But having faith doesn't mean he can understand Chu An's current behavior.

When he heard on the phone that Chu An was going to take his comrades from the combat unit to the mountains for a week to experience their lives, he was speechless.

How much he wanted to leave this damn place, go outside, put on clothes and be a human being, but now this fool Chu An actually chose to come here on his own initiative.

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that. We're in the combat unit. Although Pingguanshan doesn't require us to formulate any combat plans right now, we might need them someday."

Chu An seemed not to notice the look in Tong Lianzhong's eyes that looked at him like a fool, and continued with a smile: "Without actual experience, you are not qualified to give blind orders.

If you make a haphazard battle plan that doesn't align with the actual situation on the battlefield, that's not what I want, and I believe that's not what you want, Captain!"

"Haha, of course not!" Tong Lianzhong laughed heartily. "It was a wise decision for the regiment to transfer you to the combat unit!"

At this moment, not only Tong Lianzhong, but also Comrade Shaidan who heard Chu An's voice nearby looked sideways.

Someone couldn't help but say, "Indeed, Chief Chu, we are convinced and very fortunate that you are the chief!"

"That's right, that's right! I've heard that the battle plan formulated by Section Chief Chu after taking office is completely different from the previous one, but Section Chief, you really don't have to stay with us for a week.

Just stay for two days to experience how hard life is here.

In a week, you might be like us!"

"Haha, what's the big deal! I'm a real man, so I can just sunbathe with you guys!"

Chu An laughed and took off his clothes while talking.

There were bare butts everywhere in the mountains, and now they were the only two wearing clothes, which looked a bit weird.

It was obvious that Cai Youhe was a little embarrassed. Seeing Chu An's actions, he stood there a little embarrassed, looking like he couldn't bear to look at it and didn't want to take off his clothes.

Chu An glanced at him, but didn't force him to take it off.

Chu An had been to Pingguan Mountain and knew the situation there.

It doesn’t really matter whether he takes it off now or not. He will definitely take it off himself after one night anyway.

In a hot and humid environment, even if you are not sick at the moment, it is definitely uncomfortable to wear clothes.
