    Like welcoming a hero¡¯s triumphant return, General Ridgway personally went to the airport to greet Paul¡¯s arrival.  Paul's arm was hanging with a belt and he was much thinner than when he went to Toepyeong-ri from Daegu. When he saw Ridgway, he still saluted solemnly with his uninjured arm. This made General Ridgway  He was very moved and took him to his own car to return to the city.

    In the car, Paul reported the fighting situation in Tuiping-ri in detail to his immediate superior. He did not take credit, but pushed all the credit to the officers and soldiers who persisted, even though he did not mention it.  Although Li Qiwei was still very clear about the role he played in Diping, it was not until he was about to arrive at the headquarters that he told Paul that he had submitted a commendation order to the superiors and that he should be rewarded in the near future.  He would no longer be Colonel Paul, but Brigadier General Paul.

    When he heard the news, Paul was just stunned for a moment, but there was no trace of joy.

    "What? Colonel Paul, aren't you happy to hear the news?" Ridgway couldn't help but ask, seeing that there was no surprise on Paul's face.

    Paul shook his head and said honestly: "I'm happy, of course I'm happy! Haha, I've held the rank of colonel for a long time. If it hadn't been for this war, I might have retired!"

    "In that case, why don't you laugh?" Li Qiwei asked.

    Paul could only smile bitterly: "General, when I heard the news that I was going to be upgraded, do you know what I thought of?"

    "What is it?"

    "The Chinese have an ancient poem, which is called 'One general's achievements lead to the death of thousands of bones!' Haha, I can be promoted to a general today, but think about those who died in Topyeong-ri, no! And those who died on the Korean Peninsula  Soldiers, they still want to return home to reunite with their parents, wives and children! When I think of this, I can't be happy!" Paul told Li Qiwei truthfully.

    General Li Qiwei couldn't help but fell silent. After a long time, he said leisurely: "The mission of us soldiers is to fight, and to win the war! As long as there is a war, there will be sacrifices, which is unavoidable! If you are afraid of sacrifices, then it is better to  Go be a missionary! No matter what, we are fighting for justice and freedom. Even if one day we stand in front of God, we should have a clear conscience!"

    Paul nodded but did not answer.

    Back in Daegu, Li Qiwei did not arrange anything for Paul, but asked him to have a good rest and recover from his injuries. This was considered taking care of him.  But Paul couldn't calm down at all, and still insisted on reporting to the headquarters every day.  On the second day after he returned to Daegu, Han Qi appeared in his office with several Chinese people. As soon as they met, Han Qi introduced to Paul that these people he had brought over were all members of the Kuomintang.  senior political staff.

    "Colonel Paul! Oh! No, I should call you Mr. Brigadier General!" Han Qi suddenly remembered that this old friend had been promoted.

    "You should call me by my name!" Paul was not used to this title: "It feels more comfortable to call me this way!"

    Han Qi could only nod his head and said: "Okay, Paul, today I was ordered to bring someone here to serve as a consultant to you. Haha, we are old friends. I won't say more if I'm polite. First of all  I still want to congratulate you on your victory in Dipingli!"

    Paul just smiled bitterly and told him: "I almost died in Tuiping and never came back!" As he said, he joked again: "Haha, you Chinese are really desperate for your life when fighting a war.  Ah! In the face of such heavy casualties, we still rush forward desperately, as if no one is afraid of death!"

    Han Qi didn't find it funny at all. He told his old friend seriously: "Maybe we in China have experienced too much suffering, so everyone has very strong endurance and huge endurance in the face of death.  Strength! In eight years of resistance, our officers, soldiers and people lost 30 million!"

    Paul was stunned, couldn't help but shook his head, and said with some sigh: "It seems that you Chinese really don't take human life as a thing! If so many people died in the war in the United States, we would never recover from it.  The president should have stepped down a long time ago! Haha, in this peninsula war, even if so many people die, many people in the country will come out and curse the president, and there will be many demonstrations. We can't bear it.  More death!"

    Han Qi is a little sad. Indeed, as Paul said, in China, the most important thing is human life!  Since ancient times, there has been a teaching that starving to death is a small matter, but being dishonest is a big deal. This is completely different from the Western concept that as long as you can survive, you can surrender. On the contrary, this concept of Westerners is closer.If so, the 643rd Regiment would have four battalion commanders.  However, before he could ask his brother Zhang Yi, Wang Dahu found him directly and told him that he and the first company of the 643rd Regiment had been transferred from the 643rd Regiment, and their company would be the  Based on this, he reorganized the guard battalion of the 215th Division, and he was appointed as the battalion commander of the guard battalion.

    When receiving this appointment, Zhang Xian was a little confused. The guard battalions of the 215th Division had long been added to each regiment. The original guard battalion commander also died in the last battle. Logically speaking,  , this newly established guard battalion should be drawn from each regiment, and the battalion commander should also be selected from the old battalion commanders. He, the newly promoted battalion commander, does not have this qualification yet.  The position of battalion commander of a guard battalion is, in most cases, a process of promotion to regimental commander.

    "Sir, I'm afraid I won't do well! You'd better find someone else!" Zhang Xian wanted to shirk this new position.

    Wang Dahu stared at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and said with great certainty: "You must lead this guard camp, and only you can lead it!" He said with some helplessness, and told him: "There is no other way.  , I can only take out your company, the others are all recruits, so in fact, this guard camp is just a recruit camp!"

    "Sir, there is someone else who might be more suitable!" Zhang Xian was still trying to shirk.

    Wang Dahu frowned and said unhappily: "What? Don't you want to do it? I don't think anyone is more suitable than you!"

    Zhang Xian was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he recommended to him: "I know Chen Daxing is very suitable. Besides, he has been a battalion commander for a long time and is better than me!"

    Wang Dahu shook his head and told him: "I don't know Chen Daxing. Besides, I have no choice but to let you be the battalion commander!"

    "Why?" Zhang Xian asked strangely.

    Wang Dahu sighed, and then said: "Commander Xiong only had two sons, and Xiong Revolutionary died. When he heard the news, although he didn't say anything and pretended to be very strong, his hair turned all white overnight!  "Wang Dahu couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said it, and Zhang Xian felt sad when he heard it.  Just listen to Wang Dahu continue: "I know that Commander Xiong is very sad. Now he only has one son, Xiong Sanwa, left. Although he is determined not to let us take care of his son, I have to do it!"

    Zhang Xian suddenly understood. It turned out that a large part of the reason why Wang Dahu transferred their company to serve as a guard camp was because of Xiong Sanwa.  After all, the chance of survival in the guard camp was much higher. If Xiong Sanwa was directly transferred to the guard camp, it would be too obvious and Xiong Zhuoran would definitely scold him, so he had to make arrangements in such a tortuous way.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
