Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Without spending the night in the courtyard, Cheng Hao returned to the military camp in the evening with He Yuzhu, who was reluctant to leave. Following them was Jia Dongxu, who was staggering with every step.

This return trip to the hospital was not pleasant for Jia Dongxu, and it could even be said to be very humiliating.

Before joining the army, I was looked down upon and bullied by my neighbors. After joining the army, I was still bullied. Wasn't my service in the army in vain? Wasn't the month of suffering in vain?

Looking up at Cheng Hao and the other man in front of him who were full of high spirits, Jia Dongxu felt a pain in his lungs and was about to explode with anger.

Cheng Hao ignored Jia Dongxu behind him and walked quickly with He Yuzhu, and the two sides soon distanced themselves from each other.

In the evening, not only did Cheng Hao and the others return to the military camp on time, but Jia Dongxu, who was late, was scolded as expected.

The fifth company commander looked at the wound on Jia Dongxu's face and became even more furious after asking the reason.

Jia Dongxu is so incompetent that he can't even beat a civilian. He has brought shame to the company.

Early the next morning, before the wound on Jia Dongxu's face had healed, he was dragged out by the fifth company commander and subjected to more rigorous training.

Jia Dongxu should not even think about leaving the military camp until he passes all the projects.

……

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was late April. The 702nd Regiment, which had completed its reorganization, received an order to go to the front line again.

After more than four months of rest and reorganization, all units of the 702nd Regiment have completed their organization and fully restored their combat effectiveness. It is time to show their edge to the enemy.

Cheng Hao led more than 100 people from the 7th Company into the train station in an orderly manner. This was his third time to the station east of Sijiu City. Compared with the previous two times, his mental outlook was completely renewed, and he lost his immaturity and became steady and mature.

"Seventh Company, everyone, get in the car!"

Following Cheng Hao's order, the soldiers of the 7th Company boarded the train in an orderly and rapid manner, and each of them found a seat and sat down. The veterans in the company looked calm, showing no emotion, and the new recruits who were riding the train for the first time couldn't help but look around after sitting down, looking very energetic.

Four months of hard training are finally going to be put to the test, just like the night before an exam. They are excited and nervous, yet eager to get good grades and prove themselves.

Of course, not every soldier was eager to try. Jia Dongxu, who was hiding in the fifth company, looked at the surrounding environment with only hesitation and fear in his eyes.

He originally joined the army just to kill time and see if he could use his power for personal gain, but he never thought about fighting on the battlefield.

The thought of going to a battlefield that was like Shura's purgatory made Jia Dongxu so frightened that his legs trembled.

"Jia Dongxu, stand at attention!"

The fifth company commander who was patrolling on the battle platform caught a glimpse of Jia Dongxu's cowardly look and became angry.

It's like trying to help a piece of rotten wood. Jia Dongxu is still so cowardly and weak after training for such a long time. He is simply a stain on the Fifth Company.

When Jia Dongxu heard the order, he subconsciously stood at attention. However, the fear in his eyes did not dissipate, but became even deeper.

"With the enemy at hand, I don't care how many mistakes you made during training. I have only one thing to say: anyone who dares to desert will be shot!"

The fifth company commander grabbed Jia Dongxu by the collar, scolded him, and turned around to continue inspecting the team.

The soldiers around him stood in their own positions and no one looked at Jia Dongxu, as if he was a transparent person.

They were used to it. Jia Dongxu was scolded every day. They would find it strange if he was not scolded one day.

The time to board the train came. No matter how many distracting thoughts Jia Dongxu had in his mind, he was still pulled by the team onto the train and headed towards the front line.

Sitting on the train, Cheng Hao looked out the window at the rapidly receding station and the gray sky of Beijing. A trace of nostalgia flashed across his calm face, but it quickly disappeared.

As a commander, he must remain calm and rational as much as possible, not be disturbed by emotions, and certainly not show his weak side and affect the morale of the team.

If they entered North Korea at this time, they would immediately face the brutal Fifth Battle.

Cheng Hao only knew the name of the fifth battle, but didn't know the specific process.

But there is no doubt that every battle is extremely cruel, accompanied by countless casualties. Only by going all out can you have a chance to survive.

……

At the end of April, the 702nd Regiment arrived at the front line and was ready to accept missions at any time in Guangping Town near the th parallel.

Guangping Town is close to the front line. On the night of the garrison, all members of the 702nd Regiment could vaguely hear the rumbling of artillery. This was the enemy's heavy artillery bombarding our positions day and night.

In April, the famous five-star general of the US Army, General MacArthur, was relieved of his post and ordered to return home. This did not turn the war in our favor, but made the war more difficult.

Because the level of the generals who took over the command of the US military has obviously improved significantly.

After finding out that the rations carried by our soldiers at one time usually did not exceed seven days, they formulated the famous Sunday Offensive, which caused our army a lot of trouble. However, this trouble still could not affect the overall situation.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the 9th Corps had completed its rest and returned to the front line, the Volunteer Army concentrated its superior forces to attack from the western front, crossed the 38th parallel and headed straight for the South Korean capital, Seoul.

Now our army is the attacker and the enemy is the defender.

The battle situation was unpredictable. In the second half of the night, most of the soldiers of the Seventh Company were still asleep when they were suddenly awakened by Cheng Hao.

The regiment received an urgent combat mission. The Seventh Company will work together with the Fifth Company to penetrate the enemy line under the cover of night and complete the mission of penetration and encirclement.

"Brothers, this mission is dangerous, if you have anything to tell us, hurry up!"

Cheng Hao quickly assembled the team and began to make pre-war preparations and mobilization.

Infiltration and encirclement is the Volunteer Army's conventional tactic. It takes advantage of the mobility and flexibility of light infantry to bypass the enemy's heavily guarded front, attack from the flanks and rear where the troops are weak, and attack from multiple sides, making it difficult for the enemy to cope.

This tactic is very efficient and also very dangerous.

The infiltration troops can only carry limited baggage, lack heavy weapons, have insufficient attack capabilities, and are extremely vulnerable to being surrounded if they advance deep into the enemy's territory alone.

Once surrounded by the enemy, it would be a life-or-death situation.

Therefore, before departure, Cheng Hao asked everyone to be mentally prepared and resolve all worries.

This time we go, we are determined to break into the enemy's enemy line, there is no chance of survival!

"Captain, I have already written my suicide note. I have nothing to say. Give the order now!"

"Yes, give the order quickly!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company were prepared to die in battle from the moment they stepped onto the battlefield, and they had long since put life and death aside.

Seeing that the soldiers in the company were full of fighting spirit, Cheng Hao did not delay any longer and immediately ordered the troops to move.

Cheng Hao, as usual, led the charge, ran at the front of the team, and boosted everyone's morale.

The entire Seventh Company traveled lightly, like a slender snake in the night, crossing the complex terrain, turning into a sharp dagger and stabbing straight into the enemy's rear positions.

Since the Seventh Company had already set out, the Fifth Company, not wanting to be outdone, followed closely behind.

Jia Dongxu, who was almost dragged out of the barracks by his comrades, looked at the dark sky and listened to the faint noises coming from the distance. His legs were shaking with fear.

It was only after the squad leader scolded him several times that he finally took a step forward and caught up with the main group.
