War Military: From 1978

Chapter 96 The first shot was fired!
"Chu An, I believe you!"

On October 20th, Chu An and his team had just returned from the shooting range and had lunch when the regiment's mailman came over to deliver a letter.

"it is good!"

Chu An quickly stood up and took it.

At just one glance, Chu An knew it was from home after seeing the handwriting on the letter.

Of course, no one else would write to him now.

"Sergeant, did your family write you a letter? Is it to tell you good news?" Li Guoping came over.

As a medical officer of the reconnaissance platoon, this guy originally lived alone, but after Chu An and the others arrived, he also moved in.

"Well, let me see!"

Chu An responded with a smile on his face, and then he opened the letter directly.

Li Guoping openly stretched his head to watch, and not only him, but two of the other four students in the class also came over.

In the army, there are basically no secrets for a class. When someone is dating, they will hide the letters and read them by themselves first. They will only share them after they feel they are harmless. As for other family letters, everyone is very frank.

"Xiao An, congratulations on your achievement. The good news will arrive home on September 30th."

This letter was written by Brother Chu An.

He worked as an accountant in the production team.

This was mainly due to the fact that Lao Chu himself had no education, but he was determined to send his children to school. So after the eldest son graduated from junior high school, he got such a job in the production team because he was very good at mathematics when he was studying.

Naturally, he also wrote all the letters home.

Now, the letter begins with the good news about Chu An’s meritorious service.

"Wow, this is so glorious, squad leader! The county leaders sent you back with drums and gongs! I can't even imagine how lively your home was at that time!" Li Guoping, standing by, made no secret of his envy and jealousy.

what is this?
This is the glory for the family that the elders and my old father in the family often talk about!

Look, it’s all said in the letter that the Chu An family went up the mountain to worship that afternoon.

He couldn't help but imagine, if he could also get a second-class merit, how crazy would his old man be?
Of course, it seems that he has no hope of winning the second-class merit at the moment, but he has already secured the third-class merit.

Because he donated the things his grandfather had sent him, the regiment told him when he came to the reconnaissance platoon that he would be awarded a third-class merit at the end of the year!

"Wow, squad leader, someone is asking you to kiss~"

Suddenly, Wang Qingwa, who was also nearby, shouted!

Because he saw in the letter that many people in his hometown were trying to find a wife for Chu An, and the letter also contained detailed information about three women.

"This girl is actually from my side, squad leader. I know her family and she's pretty good-looking!" At this time, Wang Xiaohu also shouted, pointing to the information of a girl named Liu Chunlan.

Chu An looked at him speechlessly, then put the letter away and said, "Go away, go practice your devilish language, why are you joining in the fun!"

These guys were all shocked, but Chu An really didn't expect that someone would come to propose marriage to him.

I am only eighteen years old.

After the ID card is issued, he will still be considered a minor.
Of course, Chu An also knew that early marriage and early childbearing were common phenomena in rural areas these days, and it was common to get married and have children before the age of 20.

"No! Squad leader, let's watch it together, watch it together, I promise I won't say anything!"

"That's right! Monitor, finish reading, finish reading, and then we can go study!"

Seeing Chu An take the letter, the people who were watching nearby immediately became a little anxious.

There was no fun in the reconnaissance platoon's intense daily training life, and the letters from home were their only spiritual entertainment.

"Okay, but stop yelling!"

Chu An finally finished reading the letter with them.

Actually, I just told him the good news and arranged a marriage for him. After that, every time I wrote to him, I would say that everything was fine at home and asked him to rest assured in the army.
However, this time the letter was longer, especially the part about the good news, which filled up an entire page of letter paper.

It was said in the movie that their old father now feels like there's a steel bar behind his waist every time he goes out. His waist, which was originally bent by time and farm work, is now much straighter than before.

"Squad leader, tell me, if I send home the congratulatory report of my third-class merit at the end of the year, will my parents and the villagers be like your family is now?"

That night, the lights-out bell had already sounded, but in the first-class dormitory, a guy labeled as a veterinarian was obviously suffering from insomnia.

Chu An, who had just returned from guard duty, lay on the bed, looking at the head pulled out from the upper bunk, and said speechlessly: "It's twelve o'clock, go to sleep!"

This guy's daily training wasn't tiring. Although he had to eat, live, and train with everyone else, his training intensity was very low. For example, for the 400-meter hurdles, Chu An had to do eight rounds, while he only had to do two. The key was that he could split those two rounds.

It means just run once, take a break, and then do it again later.

This is something that everyone envies, but everyone also knows that it is useless to envy such things. After all, they are not full-time combatants, but just medical workers.

Time passed slowly again. The arrival of the letter from home could not affect Chu An's life in the army.

On the afternoon of November 1st, when Chu An and others were swimming in a wild lake, suddenly, Deputy Instructor Cui came over on horseback from the shore.

After he said something to the King of Hell, the King of Hell immediately started blowing the whistle.

"Beep beep~"

"Emergency assembly, hurry, everyone come ashore!"

His whistle startled everyone in the water, and Chu An turned around and saw Deputy Instructor Cui riding towards him.

His eyesight is very good now, and he can clearly see the serious expression on Deputy Instructor Cui's face even from a hundred meters away.

"What happened?"

"Monitor?"

Everyone nearby was puzzled, but only for a moment.

"Hurry! Get ashore!" Chu An and other squad leaders shouted.

Immediately, the lake splashed with water, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon dragged their backpacks wrapped in waterproof bags and swam towards the shore with all their might.

Soon, one after another came ashore.

Deputy Instructor Cui didn't even give everyone time to wring out their clothes.

After seeing everyone gathered, he spoke in a very serious tone: "Comrades, the time has come when the Party and the people need us!"

Just one sentence made everyone tremble.

"What happened again?" At this moment, Chu An was stunned.

Because the time has not come yet!

But now.
Standing in front of everyone, Deputy Instructor Cui finished his words, glanced at everyone, and then spoke again: "The Vietnamese devils fired the first shot in our neighboring county!"

Chu An's eyes widened a little.

Did someone really shoot?

Is the history I know wrong?
My mind is a little confused, but I can just think about it now.

"Comrades, time is of the essence. I won't say anything more. Everyone, run and keep up!"

After Deputy Instructor Cui finished speaking, he turned around and mounted his horse, while Yan Wang immediately stepped forward.

"Hurry, follow us, and return to the camp immediately!"

At this moment, all the soldiers had serious expressions.

As he ran, Chu An heard someone gnashing their teeth and saying, "Damn it! How dare they!"

"Kill them!"

During the war, Chu An didn't know the situation of other troops, but when Chu An was still in the position of the first battalion in Regiment C, he often heard those soldiers say that if they dared to open fire, they would be killed directly.

The great flower-growing country has a history of more than 5,000 years. Even though it declined in modern times, it has not yet truly risen. However, everyone still has a sense of contempt for this small foreign country next door.

Scared?
Chu An had actually never seen it in the army.

On the contrary, many people hope to make achievements on the battlefield.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Are you afraid of going to the battlefield? If so, just stop. I promise I won't see anything!"

In front of the team, the King of Hell was still roaring.

Naturally, no one would really stop. Even if there were one or two people who were afraid of the battlefield, they would grit their teeth and refuse to admit it.

They all sped up with their heads down. It was only three or four kilometers from the wild lake to the base, and they ran quickly under the scorching sun. By the time they returned to the camp, their wet clothes had dried up.
