War Military: From 1978

Chapter 91 Surprise, the merits are coming!

After everyone knew what caused the panic on the battlefield, they immediately burst into laughter.

There was even a battalion of soldiers who ran to Chu An and his team's observation post to join in the fun, wanting to use Chu An and his team's 884 radio to greet the Vietnamese devils on the opposite side.

But to their regret, before they could do anything, the instructor called the battlefield to stop it, and even criticized Chu An over the phone.

Of course, Chu An humbly accepted the criticism on the phone, but as soon as he hung up, Chu An grinned.

He's been feeling depressed for half a month, and if he doesn't feel happy before leaving, he'll feel uncomfortable afterwards.

Even though I’m being criticized now, verbal criticism means nothing!
Chu An ignored it and chose to forget about it as soon as he hung up the phone.

Back in the outpost, Chu An and his companions were laughing and even turned on the radio to listen to the shouting from the other side.

Of course, they didn't reply this time.

Soon, the replacement arrived.

He was not from Chu An’s Mountain Eagle Growth Team, but a veteran from the 1st Machine Gun Battalion.

They are already on other high ground in the rear, and have been undergoing intensive training during this period.

Now more than half a month has passed. The First Battalion took advantage of the fact that Chu An and his men were recalled by the regiment headquarters and arranged them to train on the front line.

Of course, Chu An actually doesn’t know that they were recalled by the regiment headquarters. Chu An didn’t ask before, and the battalion commander didn’t tell him!
"Captain Li, this is the cat ear cave I dug. Now that I'm leaving, you can save yourself some trouble and just stay at my place!"

After Chu An packed his belongings in the cave, he made the final handover with the veteran squad leader of the machine gun company who had just come up and was standing at the cave entrance.

Give him the cat ear hole he dug with his own hands.

"Haha! Thank you so much, Squad Leader Chu." Squad Leader Li leaned over to look at the cat ear hole dug by Chu An, with a very satisfied smile on his face.

"It's good, big enough, deep, and dry inside. It's much better than what I dug out at the 241st Field.

I dug that hole, and a few days ago, it rained big outside, and small ones inside. It's big enough to raise fish! "

"Haha, as long as you are satisfied, Squad Leader Li!" Chu An said with a smile.

He really put a lot of effort into digging this hole.

One person lives there, but they dug out space for two people. The key point is that the entrance of the hole has a certain slope, which is not only waterproof, but also covered with thick hay.

Looking back, Chu An spoke again: "Squad Leader Li, if there is nothing else, our handover ends here. I will lead the people down the mountain!"

"Okay, Squad Leader Chu, take care!"

Squad leader Li stood at attention and saluted Chu An.

Chu An also returned the greeting solemnly, then turned to look at Luo Yun and the other man a few meters away and said, "Let's go!"

Luo Yun and the other man have also come down now, but there are no veterans with them. The veterans from the other two machine gun companies are now staying at the outpost and continuing their duty.

After about twenty minutes, Chu An and his two companions, along with squad leader Liu Xi and Wang Xiaohu who had come down from the side-viewing heights, gathered together. After walking for a while, the five of them returned to the first battalion's base.

What surprised Chu An was that as soon as he arrived, he saw a truck and the battalion commander, instructor and others waiting outside.

He originally thought that they were just taking turns to go down the mountain to rest.

But now it's like this.

"Haha! What are you standing there for? Our hero, come here quickly! We've been waiting for you for a while!"

A battalion commander smiled, and the speaker and other battalion cadres came forward with a smile.

"Hmm? A great hero?"

Chu An was stunned again, but then he came back to his senses.

It should be my own credit that this came down.

It’s just that the battalion commander didn’t say it just now!

"Haha! Surprised, right? We didn't tell you on purpose just now!" The battalion commander laughed as he came in front of Chu An.

"Hehe~" Chu An smiled.

Surprise, indeed.

Last time, the chairman said that he had made great contributions, but that was only when they returned to the regiment headquarters that night and received verbal commendations from the regiment commander and the division commander, and there was no further news after that.

No one has talked about this for more than half a month, and no news has come.

I don't want to be suddenly ordered to change defense today, so I'm waiting here.

"Squad leader, your contribution has come down?"

At this time, Wang Xiaohu beside Chu An also exclaimed.

"Congratulations, squad leader!" The other three also laughed.

Although they were not the ones who made the contribution, Chu An was their squad leader. The army values collective honor. Apart from anything else, he can always bring up his squad leader when bragging to others in the future!

"Don't be too busy congratulating your squad leader, you're also a part of this!" The instructor suddenly said with a smile. This sentence made Wang Xiaohu and the other three quickly turn their heads to look over.

"what!"

"Do we have any too?"

"real!"

At this moment, Wang Xiaohu and the other three were really surprised.

It is certainly gratifying to see the squad leader’s achievements, but wouldn’t it be even happier if the credit also belonged to you?

"Haha, that's enough. We won't go into details. Get on board! The comrades in the transport platoon have other tasks to do. Hurry up and get on board. When you get back, we'll celebrate!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, Chu An and the other four suppressed their inner excitement and stood at attention to salute.

Climb onto the truck next to you, and then follow the truck as it starts moving.

Immediately, Wang Xiaohu and others couldn't help it.

"What's going on, squad leader? How come we have it too?"

"Yeah! This is such a surprise!"

The four of them were so excited that their words were palpable.

Although they were commended by the regimental commander and the division commander at the regimental headquarters that night, they believed that they had only done their job.

They knew that Chu An could make a contribution after he stole a telescope that could see far away at night, but they never thought that they could do it too!
Chu An smiled and said, "You don't have to underestimate yourselves. You performed really well that night. If you were caught, our data would have been leaked, which would have definitely caused some trouble. But you escaped and saved the data and equipment, which is definitely a meritorious service!"

Chu An had said something similar before when he received commendations from the regimental and divisional commanders.

Later, he told the class that they did a good job, but he had never said before that they could make meritorious contributions.

After all, you can't say this casually. If you say it and there is no credit afterwards, it will definitely cause a psychological gap for them.

But it's different now.

The "bang bang~" sound continued all the way.

Before, Chu An and the others would definitely curse when they were riding in the truck, but today, none of the five of them cursed.

Even when the truck was so bumpy that it took off, and Wang Xiaohu didn't sit firmly and hit his head, he just rubbed his bumped shoulder and said with a smile, "This truck is still so powerful, it can take off just by sitting in it!"

The good news of their achievement brightened their mood, and even the bad things that had happened in the past could be looked at from a different perspective.

After winding around the mountain road for about half an hour, Chu An and others approached the regiment headquarters.

"Do you think the regiment headquarters will put up banners for us?"

"Maybe there are even people beating drums and gongs!"

Several people lay at the rear of the car and tried to look out and see what was ahead.

It can be said that Wang Xiaohu and his companions now extremely dislike the cloak on the truck and wish they could just take it off.

It's in the way!
They could only stick their heads out from the back to look, but could not stand inside the truck bed and directly see if there was a scene of people in front of them welcoming them.

Of course, they also wanted to show off, thinking that when they got to the regiment headquarters, if they could stand directly in the truck without any cover, the other soldiers in the regiment headquarters would see them coming back.
"Okay, sit back down. If someone sees you all looking so confused, you'll be laughed at!"

Inside the truck, Chu An couldn't bear to look at them like this.

They were lying there with their butts sticking up, just like a few turtles with their backs held by others.

"Hehe, squad leader, this is my first time to make a contribution. I'm so excited!" Wang Xiaohu turned around and laughed.

The others also scratched their heads and laughed awkwardly.

Fortunately, it only took a moment for them to see the gate of the regiment's temporary residence.

But disappointingly, nothing has changed.

There were no banners and no drums or gongs.

Even when the truck came in, it was still inspected by the sentry. And when the sentry looked back, he didn't treat Chu An and others differently. He just looked serious, glanced at them in a businesslike manner, and left.

This made Wang Xiaohu and others, who were full of excitement, a little surprised.

Even the excitement and beauty in my heart seemed to have died down a bit.

But the fire went out quickly and reignited just as quickly. As the truck moved forward again and stopped, they became excited again.

Because the head of the group, the committee members and others came outside to greet them in person.

And there were not only them, there was also a cadre that Chu An and the others did not know standing in front of the regiment commander and the committee member.
