In fact, many people don't know why the war broke out, and soldiers don't need to know. The only thing they can do is to obey orders.

The battle was still going on, and the personnel of Gao Jianguo's unit had been scattered. At present, he and his troops had entered Gantang, and their team was temporarily assembled here, waiting for the next order.

"battalion commander."

The hygienist ran over panting.

"what happened?"

Gao Jianguo raised his head and rubbed his eyes that were a little astringent from looking at the map all the time.

"Xiao Xie's situation is not very good."

Xiao Xie, a battalion communications soldier, was shot in the abdomen during the battle.

"Why, didn't you take medicine?"

Gao Jianguo followed the hygienist worriedly, and the hygienist whispered about the situation, "Commander, the bleeding has stopped, but his temperature has not been lowered. I have been cooling him with water, but the water we fetched Tang, it can’t be used anymore.”

Stopping, Gao Jianguo looked at the hygienist.

"The pond is out of use?"

He lowered his voice and asked.

In this place, if the water source is not available, it will be a big problem.

The hygienist smiled wryly, "Battalion Commander, you'll know if you go over and take a look."

Gao Jianguo nodded, and strode towards the pond over there.

Not far away, he saw a lot of people watching something, and the faint pressure made Gao Jianguo's heart beat violently.

There was a faint stench in the air, which became stronger and stronger as he approached, and Gao Jianguo's face darkened.

Standing by the pond, looking over at a glance, the water surface is covered with corpses.

One after another corpses are piled up in the pond, that kind of scene makes people want to vomit.

"How is this going?"

It was fine last night, how could it be like this today?

Gao Jianguo turned his head and looked around. The faces of the surrounding soldiers were not very good. Although they were the corpses of the enemy soldiers, they were human after all, just like them.

"Battle Commander, Battalion Commander~~~"

The reconnaissance platoon of the fourth company, which followed the battalion headquarters, ran over long-distance one by one.

"Report to the battalion commander, I'm back."

A platoon leader stood in front of Gao Jianguo and saluted.

"what's the situation?"

"Report, all the people over there are dead."

"what?"

A platoon leader looked at the pond through the gap, "Battle Commander, three days ago at the Gantang Railway Station, after the Vietnamese army encountered our people and fought a hand-to-hand battle, the Vietnamese army killed them before retreating." All the soldiers who died in battle were thrown into the pond, and some that were too late to be thrown were all over there."

Saying that, a row of long pointed behind the collapsed wall not far away.

Gao Jianguo looked in the direction he pointed. From here, he couldn't see there.

They stopped here at noon yesterday. Calculated this way, the distance from the troops in front has been opened for at least two days.

"That is to say, the Vietnamese army threw the body in the pond, and after sinking for two or three days, it surfaced."

Thinking of this, Gao Jianguo's expression became even uglier.

All the people present thought that they had been drinking water from this pond since yesterday, and several soldiers couldn't help but bowed their heads and vomited.

Gao Jianguo also had an urge to vomit in his heart. He suppressed the feeling of vomiting in his stomach, turned his head and walked aside.

"Have you contacted other companies?"

He continued to ask.

The leader of the first row nodded and shook his head, "I saw them, but it's hard for me to judge which direction they are going now."

"how?"

"The situation is too chaotic."

The first platoon leader smiled wryly, "Battlemaster, the first company of our battalion has rushed too far, and now we have lost news. The second company and the third company are connected, but due to the retreat of the Vietnamese people, all the roads in the vicinity have been blocked. In terms of action, there are difficulties. Moreover,” his voice brought out more bitterness, “Battalion Commander, the order we received asked us to help the old, weak, sick and disabled in Vietnam, but our people are saved. But many comrades in arms were stabbed to death from behind by the Vietnamese people we rescued."

"what?"

"They said," the platoon leader looked at Gao Jianguo's expression, "We are the invaders."

Closing his eyes, Gao Jianguo remained silent.

In the game between countries, it is ordinary people who are really hurt.

And as soldiers, they can only execute orders, and they have no right to question.

It's just that those comrades who didn't fall on the battlefield are just eighteen or nine-year-old boys. They only know how to carry out orders, and how could they expect that ordinary people who are kind and friendly in front of them will stab them in the back? !

Shaking his head, as if he could get rid of the gloom in his heart, Gao Jianguo calmed down the chaotic thoughts in his heart.

"Order: From now on, all the rescue and friendly actions that were originally required to be carried out to the Vietnamese people will be cancelled."

Gao Jianguo gritted his teeth, "Get the notice and move out of here immediately."

The battle has been going on, the forward troops have entered the interior of Vietnam, and Gao Jianguo's troops are constantly shifting their positions due to the fighting.

The consumption of personnel is high, but the speed of replenishing troops in the rear is also very fast. Occasionally, when Gao Jianguo observes his troops carefully, he will find that more and more strange faces have entered his troops, and before he has time to familiarize himself with those faces At that time, many people fell forever.

The tragic battle has continued. In March, Vietnam is about to enter the rainy season. This war is getting harder and harder to fight.

Wiping the drops of water off his face, Gao Jianguo turned his head and looked at a soldier running over in surprise.

"What did you say?"

The soldier looked at Gao Jianguo's dark and thin face, with some messy hair and beard, and was stared at by his dark eyes, and murmured for a long time without saying a word.

"Commander, he just said that our patrol killed a man."

Staff Officer Huang, who followed the little soldier, explained that his words made Gao Jianguo a little confused. When the patrol team went out to patrol, they often encountered the Vietnamese army, and they would engage in encounters from time to time. Dead people are already very common. Are they so surprised!

From his expression, Staff Officer Huang knew Gao Jianguo's strange reason. If he hadn't followed the patrol team to see the scene today, he would have thought so too.

"Not Vietnamese."

Gao Jianguo was taken aback by Staff Officer Huang's answer.

"Not Vietnamese?"

"Yes."

Staff Officer Huang had a strange expression on his face, "It was a Japanese who was beaten to death."

"what?"

Gao Jianguo scratched his messy hair, these days he didn't care about taking care of his image at all.

"Why are there Japanese?"

"I do not know either."

Staff Officer Huang spread his hands and shook his head.

After thinking about it, Gao Jianguo raised his head, "Go, go and have a look."

Looking at the dead body on the ground, Gao Jianguo knelt down and looked at this person.

His skin was fair, and he was obviously not from Southeast Asia. Looking carefully, Gao Jianguo reached out and touched the lining of his clothes, and he took out a booklet.

Open it, there is a row of Japanese on it, and there is a sickle mark on it.

Looking back at Staff Officer Huang, he handed over a notebook, "I read it, it's an interview record, it seems to be a reporter."

"reporter?"

Gao Jianguo muttered, "Not just a reporter."

"what?"

Staff Officer Huang also squatted down, looking at the brochure in his hand, "Battalion Commander?"

"The Red Flag News."

Gao Jianguo looked at him, "It's a newspaper run by Japan."

"Huh? The Japanese Communist Party?"

"Correct."

Clapping the booklet in his hand, Gao Jianguo smiled wryly, "During the period of Vietnam's resistance against the United States, because of the Sino-Soviet issue, the Japanese Communist Party believed that we prevented the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe from aiding Vietnam, so their position was pro-Soviet. The Republic and the Viet Cong are getting closer. It seems that they are really leaning towards the Viet Cong.”

After saying these words, Staff Officer Huang looked at Gao Jianguo with a strange look in his eyes. After seeing his expression, Gao Jianguo smacked his lips, feeling that he was talking too much.

Standing up, Gao Jianguo looked around, "Who met this Vietnamese patrol team?"

"Report, it's our class."

Among the surrounding soldiers, a man stood out.

This is a soldier who looks a little strange to Gao Jianguo. He is not too tall, he looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round face and a kind of honest smile.

"What's your name? Which company?"

Gao Jianguo couldn't help asking.

"Report to the battalion commander. My name is Wang Qingrui. I am the squad leader of the fourth company, the third row, and the first squad."
