Chapter 6 six

In the summer, Lao Gu's desire to find the leader became even stronger. Lao Gu finally decided to fight a lawsuit with the head of the group, and settle the account with the head of the group. That year, Lao Gu was already 70 years old.His head is full of white hair, and his face is full of criss-cross wrinkles, like the bark of longan.Lao Gu thought to himself, if the leader is still alive, he should be in his 70s. Lao Gu already felt that his days were numbered. Lao Gu thought, if this lawsuit is not fought, it will be too late.At that time, even if he went to the underworld, he would have no face to meet his brothers.

The head of the group is too much, how can the head say nothing, why didn't the one who had promised to blow the trumpet stop blowing? If the head had blown the trumpet at that time, Yilian would not have lost so badly. Lao Gu didn't know how to fight this lawsuit.In other words, it was this lawsuit that allowed him to win. What's the use of the absence of the head of the team? Isn't the lawsuit for nothing? Lao Gu was very distressed by this incident, he didn't know if the lawsuit would still be fought or not? Lao Gu never expected that at this moment, the battalion commander who was reclaiming wasteland in the northeast would send him a letter.The battalion commander said he had already seen the regimental commander.The battalion commander asked Lao Gu to go to the northeast.

When Lao Gu arrived in the northeast by train, Lao Gu saw that the battalion commander was already waiting for him at the station.The battalion commander said he was going to take Lao Gu to meet someone. The battalion commander took Lao Gu to a large and quiet forest. When Lao Gu walked in, he realized that it was a cemetery area. He didn't know why the battalion commander brought him to such a place.The battalion commander said that he only discovered this place not long ago.The battalion commander said that he had already retired. After retirement, he ran around with his friends in the reclamation area. After running, he found this place and the regiment leader Lao Gu was looking for.

Lao Gu's heart turned cold, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition. Soon, Lao Gu met the person whom the battalion commander asked him to meet.It's a little old man in his 60s.When Lao Gu saw him for the first time, he felt very familiar.Lao Gu finally recognized him as the head's bodyguard.Lao Gu couldn't help crying out.Lao Gu said, why are you here, guard, where is our regiment leader? The guard didn't say anything, he waved to Lao Gu, and Lao Gu followed him. The guard led Lao Gu through a small bamboo forest, and then stopped in front of a grave. Lao Gu recognized at a glance that the person in the ceramic photo above the stele was the group leader. The group leader looked at Lao Gu with a strange smile, as if saying to Lao Gu, have you been looking for me? I am right here where!

Lao Gu's mind suddenly went blank.He was a little unsteady on his feet. The guard said that the head of the regiment died on the Korean battlefield, and the head of the regiment has been sleeping here for forty-five years. five years. Obviously, it was a piece of history that was inconvenient to be made public, and the guard was very reluctant to mention it. When recounting that period of history, his heart was particularly heavy, and every word he said made Lao Gu dumbfounded in surprise. The guard told Lao Gu that in the blocking battle more than 40 years ago, when the large troops were transferred, the head of the regiment did not let the trumpeter blow the trumpet.It's not that the head of the group forgot about blowing the trumpet, but the head of the group didn't let the trumpeter play at all.When the head of the regiment gave the blocking mission to the first company, he had already decided to use the sacrifice of one company in exchange for the safe transfer of the large troops.Because if the situation is really as the head of the regiment said, if the trumpeter is ordered to blow the horn before midnight and order a company to break through, then the danger of large troops being chased by the enemy will be very high, and the consequences will be unimaginable.As for the head's promise to Lao Gu to blow the trumpet, it was a beautiful lie that the head of the group had to do out of desperation.The regiment leader really couldn't bear to bring a whole company's life into the battlefield with the nightmare of death from the very beginning.

The guard said that since the blocking battle, the head of the regiment has been filled with guilt, and he has been asking for news about the first company, but the battle is so tense.The result is predictable.For this reason, the regiment leader often blames himself alone. The regiment commander said that if a soldier betrays his army and his motherland, he must be punished.Now the situation is just the opposite, the army cheated her soldiers, it was his country that betrayed her soldiers, and her soldiers were fighting for them with full enthusiasm and blood to the last moment of their lives, they still don't know the truth of the matter Knowing nothing is just too cruel.The regiment leader knew that he was the one who personally sent hundreds of alive and kicking lives to the enemy's swords and guns, and he would always be a sinner in front of hundreds of lives.

The guard said, company commander, don't hate the regiment commander. Even at the moment when he died on the Korean battlefield, the regiment commander was still repenting for what he had done.The leader is a very respectable person.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to guard the tomb of the head here for more than forty years... The guard said, company commander, will you forgive the captain? If you can’t forgive the captain, I will kneel down for you on behalf of the captain... Lao Gu would never have imagined in his dreams that he spent his whole life looking for the head of the group, but what he got was such an answer.

After all, Lao Gu calmed down quickly.Lao Gu Bijing is a soft-hearted person.Facing the regimental leader who had already sacrificed, he understood everything and forgave everything, and the grievances and resentments that had been accumulated in his heart for decades turned into clouds of smoke and flew away to the sky. Lao Gu slowly helped the guard up from the ground, Lao Gu said the guard, get up, don't be so Xiang, I promise you everything, can't you? Old Valley tears have come down. Lao Gu knelt down in front of the leader's grave by himself. Lao Gu said, Commander, we have been waiting for you to blow the trumpet, but we did not dare to retreat until we heard your trumpet. We lost that battle very badly, and even our brothers died...

Lao Gu said, Captain, we have been looking for you for decades, we have been looking for it very hard, I don't blame you, we originally wanted to fight a lawsuit with you... Lao Gu knew that even if he said it a hundred times or two thousand times, the head of the group would not be able to hear what he said. Lao Gu felt very remorseful.He wondered how he would think of going to court with the regiment leader? Lao Gu couldn't help crying. Two days later, Lao Gu drove west with deep nostalgia for the leader. The train was speeding on the Northeast Plain, and Lao Gu's thoughts were also speeding along.

Along the way, Lao Gu has been trying to figure out who is right and who is wrong between him and the leader.But after playing around, I just can't figure it out. Lao Gu finally forced himself not to think about it. Perhaps, in the face of a great war, everything seems insignificant, not to mention who is right and who is wrong. In fact, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong.It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. Lao Gu thought in his heart. A month later, Lao Gu died of illness in Jiangjunmiao, a small mountain village in southern Lunan. At the last moment of Lao Gu's life, the battalion commander and regiment commander's guards stood beside him.

According to Lao Gu's account before his death, the battalion commander buried Lao Gu's body next to the graves of his company's soldiers on the position. Lao Gu's tomb is an earthen tomb. The battalion commander summed up Lao Gu's life in three words: "too serious". The battalion commander said that Lao Gu could have done a lot of big things, but he never thought about it, but he kept going around on that matter and couldn't get out. The battalion commander said that after all, Lao Gu was too serious. In fact, there are many things in the world that cannot be taken seriously. The battalion commander said, feeling sorry for Lao Gu.
