Chu Tian only felt alive after changing into dry clothes, being roasted by the fire, and being fed three large bowls of ginger soup.
"You scared me to death. How did you dodge those bullets in the water? We all thought you were done for!”Company commander Liu Gensheng said to Chu Tian with a smile.
"I went into the bottom of the water and crawled upstream for a while. Then, I saw that you guys were fighting on the shore. No one noticed me, so I floated downstream.”Chu Tian said as he warmed his hands against the fire.
"This kid is quite smart!" At this moment, Chen Jian came in with a basket of steamed buns and vegetables, as well as a bottle of wine.
"You're not fighting anymore?"
Chu Tian asked, as he could no longer hear the gunshots.
"It's snowing outside, what's the point of fighting? A'san has already retreated, and the higher-ups have also told us to suspend our operations.”
Chen Jian opened the bottle and poured a bowl for Chu Tian.
" Ah San must have admitted defeat. Chu Tian killed a few generals and bombarded him with so many missiles. It would be strange if he didn't admit defeat!”Liu Gensheng also poured a bowl of wine and said.
"Damn it, I haven't had a good meal since I started fighting A'san!”Chu Tian said as he took a bite of the steamed bun.
"Who asked you to be a soldier? Come, cheers!" Chen Jian picked up the wine bottle and said.
"F * ck! To our fallen comrades!"
"To our fallen comrades!"
The three of them stood up and drank half of the fiery wine. The remaining half fell to the ground.
"Sigh, our company is considered crippled. Half of us are dead, and the remaining half will be discharged after recovering from their injuries. I…I've let them down!”Liu Gensheng lit a cigarette and said.
"Old Liu, war is like this. There is no war that doesn't cause death. In ancient times, people said that corpses were wrapped in horse leather, but now it's even more cruel.”Chen Jian comforted.
"I know…but I, but I watched them die in front of me. I didn't feel good. They were so young! It was still a child! Some of them are not even 20 years old. How, how can I explain to their families!”Company Commander Liu choked as he spoke.
Chen Jian patted his shoulder and did not say anything. Every year, their special forces would sacrifice their comrades. Every time he carried the ashes of his comrades and sent them home, he would feel the same way.
Facing the scolding and crying of his comrades and relatives, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. He could not say anything and knelt in front of them to ask for their forgiveness.
How many children have sacrificed their bodies for the country and the nation?
How many heroic souls had gone to war for the sake of the mountains and rivers?
How many of them left their names?
How much did he remember?
Although no one remembered them, it was their upright backs that held up the soul of a country and a nation!
"What about the Night Cat Investigation Company?" Chu Tian couldn't eat any more and asked while holding the steamed bun.
"The regiment commander said to keep the company and give it the title of Hero Company. Half of the missing soldiers will be veterans, and the remaining half will be recruits.”Liu Gensheng wiped his tears and said.
"Not bad. This time, your company has been awarded second-class merit. You can be considered a heroic company.”
Chen Jian turned to Chu Tian and said,""As for you, you'll definitely get a first-class merit this time. It's unlikely that you'll get a special grade merit. Special grade merit is awarded to people who have made great contributions and sacrifices, but they'll compensate you in other ways.”
"Major? Chu Tian had killed two division commanders and a military commander! He had also found so much important information. Why did he give it to a major? At least give it to the lieutenant colonel." Liu Gensheng said in surprise.
Chu Tian didn't react to this. He wasn't interested in military ranks now. In his previous life, he was a major general. Now, in this life, he just wanted to have a good kill and deal with those who were hostile to his country.
"Lieutenant Colonel? A lieutenant colonel is an officer with real power, not a technician. A lieutenant colonel is a battalion commander or the captain of a special combat team. I've been a soldier for almost twenty years before I became a colonel.”Chen Jian said.
That's because you didn't contribute as much as my brother. Liu Gensheng thought to himself.
"Major, Lieutenant Colonel, these are all fine. Colonel Chen, why are you looking for me?”Chu Tian asked as he put a steamed bun into the fire with a chopstick.
"Someone will tell you when we get there. My mission is to bring you back. Have a good rest at night and leave early tomorrow morning.”Chen Jian stood up and left after saying that.
Let the two of them have a good talk.
The two of them did not know what to say.
After a moment of silence, Chu Tian said," Company Commander, let me know when you're sending our brothers off. I'll rush back even if I have to go to the ends of the earth."”
"It's good that you have this heart. Your future days will definitely be colorful. In the future, kill a few more of the brothers of the A'san Gang.”Liu Gensheng sighed.
"No matter where I go, I am a member of the Night Cat Investigation Company.”
At this moment, Hu Weiguo walked in.
"I didn't disturb you, did I?" Hu Weiguo asked.
"No, Guild Leader, please take a seat." Liu Gensheng stood up and said.
"I just reported the casualty list. I heard that you guys were here, so I came over to take a look. Damn it, there are only so many people left in my reconnaissance company.”Hu Weiguo grabbed a steamed bun and said.
