    Paul came out of the temporary headquarters of the Ninth Army and left the old and arrogant Commander Kurt. He felt that he finally felt a lot more comfortable. Think about it, if he really had to be with these old guys all the time, he would definitely feel better.  You will age a lot, even if your body is not old, your heart will be getting old!  He raised his hand and looked at his watch. The hour hand under the night light had already pointed to four o'clock in the morning. It was not far from dawn, but he still didn't feel sleepy at all. He listened to the distant sounds in his ears.  The sound of gunfire came from time to time, making people feel like they were in a battlefield.  In fact, putting aside the discordant sounds, being in the peninsula of Northeast Asia, looking up at the bright moon and sky, and feeling the cold wind blowing across your face, is actually a truly wonderful experience.  It reminded him of his hometown of Tennessee.

    "Hey! Paul!" Tom didn't know when he came to Paul's side. The battalion commander of the First Cavalry Division was still recovering from his injuries, but he would rather follow Paul to the front line of Bichuan than stay there.  On that hospital bed that made him feel suffocated, his injury was on his chest and did not affect his movements.

    Paul turned his head and looked at his fellow countryman. For some reason, when he saw this face that was full of youth and masculinity, the frustration he felt when he faced Kurt's old face suddenly disappeared.  Lost without a trace.

    "Hey! Tom!" Paul responded to Tom and couldn't help asking: "Why aren't you sleeping either?"

    "No!" Tom answered, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and suddenly felt much refreshed. He turned to look at Paul and said truthfully: "I can't sleep. I always feel a little worried when I hear gunshots!"

    "What are you worried about?" Paul asked impatiently.

    Tom took another deep drag on the cigarette, and then said: "I can never forget the destruction of my battalion. I think about it as soon as I lie down! Really, when I hear the gunshots so close, I am really afraid that the enemies will  Hit me again right away!"

    Paul didn¡¯t say anything. He came to Tom¡¯s side, patted his shoulder gently, and warned him with concern: ¡°Stop twitching, the doctor said it¡¯s not good for your injury!¡±

    Tom smiled, still took a breath, and said: "Paul, actually I have thought about it. This is how people live. On this Korean battlefield, the war will not end so soon. I can still stand in front of you today."  , I don¡¯t know if you can still see me by tomorrow!¡±

    Paul was stunned, and felt a little sad when he heard these words, but he didn't want such words to come out of Tom's mouth. In order to cheer him up, he thought for a while and asked: "Tom, you don't want to go home."  Kiss Jenny?¡±

    Tom was startled for a moment, then he gave a wry smile: "We have divorced, she may have become someone else's wife at this time!"

    Paul was stunned again and asked in disbelief: "What? Are you divorced? When did it happen?"

    Tom was very calm at this time and said: "Just when I went back to China for vacation last time! I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry about me!"

    Paul was silent. He had a very good relationship with Tom. He was much older than Tom and always treated him as his younger brother. It seemed that Tom didn't want him to worry.  However, he thought of something again and asked, "So how is your daughter Rose?"

    "Rose is very good. She follows her mother. She didn't know that we were divorced. When I left her, she lied to her that I was going to Japan. Haha, she is five years old and is already sensible. She knows that South Korea is at war.  You also told me not to come to South Korea!" Tom said, maybe thinking of his daughter, and a happy smile appeared on his face, but this smile only flashed by, and then he thought of something again and told  Paul: "Rose asked me to bring her a gift when she went back. I bought a few puppets when I was in Japan and kept them in my backpack. By the way, Paul, if I were to sacrifice myself here  , please bring the puppet to Rose for me and tell her that I have always loved her deeply!"

    Paul didn't answer immediately. He only felt that his chest was a little clogged. After a long time, he shook his head and said very seriously: "No! Tom, I don't want you to say such things, and I don't want to be the one to give him to you."  Rose gives the gift, not you! You should have faith and determination, you won't die!"

    Tom gave another wry smile: "Paul, you know? There are not many brothers left under me. I feel sorry for them. As a battalion commander, even if I can return to China alive, how will I face those who care about whether I want a husband or a son?"  , what about wives, parents, lovers and children who want lovers and fathers?¡±

    Paul suddenly understood why his fellow countryman?Old Liu, look at our three divisions. The 214th Division has already reached Sanfengli from the stadium along the road. The 215th Division will soon be able to rush to Beiyuanlao; the 216th Division also robbed from the north bank of the Qingchuan River.  After getting off the Huali Ferry, we formed a situation surrounding the Bichuan River.  As for our left and right flanks, the friendly forces on the left have defeated a division of the Li Puppet Army, captured Tokchuan, and are also advancing to the west of Bichuan; the friendly forces on the right have attacked Yongbyon from Yunshan, and have contained the enemy's 25th Division.  , this is the right time to bid for Sichuan.  If we can capture Bichuan, which is equivalent to cutting off the enemy in the middle, then we will have accomplished a great feat!  "

    Liu Xinghua still shook his head and told him: "Old Xiong, although what you said is right, have you ever thought about it. Zichuan is the focus of the enemy's defense line and can also be regarded as their attack base. There are many troops deployed around it. We attack Zichuan  Chuanchuan will definitely cause a series of reactions from the enemy. Their deployed troops may quickly retreat to the south bank of the Qingchuan River and form a pincer attack on us from the east and west. Even if we capture Chuanchuan, I am afraid that by then we will be seventy  There¡¯s not much left in the Second Army!¡±

    "Even if we fight all the Seventy-Second Army, it's still worth it!" Xiong Zhuoran also insisted.

    Liu Xinghua stared at the old man in front of him. He knew what Xiong Zhuoran was like. He was a soldier who was willing to sacrifice everything for honor. For this, he could give up his own life.  However, he, the military commander, couldn't do it!  In fact, what he couldn't do was to make up his mind and spend tens of thousands of lives in exchange for this honor.  Indeed, as Xiong Zhuoran said, the success or failure of this battle has been determined from the very beginning. If their 72nd Army really wins Bichuan, this place will be a pivot, just like  When the Kuomintang army fought with the Japanese, the stone pavilions in the Battle of Western Hubei, the Changde in the Battle of Changde, and the cave entrance in the Battle of Western Hunan were the same, so victory was just around the corner.  If the result is like this, then Liu Xinghua will also become a hero of this battle and a model for the volunteers, and he will definitely receive awards from above.  It's just that at this time, in Liu Xinghua's heart, honor is still important, and more importantly, what he values ??more important than honor is the lives of the soldiers. A person's life is only once, whether for generals or soldiers,  all the same!

    Liu Xinghua still shook his head and responded with the same determination as Xiong Zhuoran: "I would rather not have this honor than fight all the 72nd Army!"

    Xiong Zhuoran stared blankly at Liu Xinghua's resolute face. For a moment, he didn't know where to start. He had been partnering with Liu Xinghua for so many years, and this was the first time he had been so red-faced with him after arguing with him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
