Our company’s mission is to guard the village entrance and block any enemy that attempts to pass through the village.
At first, only a few enemies broke into the village and tried to pass through it to continue chasing our troops. We eliminated all the enemies at the village entrance.
Yin Yun and another sharpshooter played their best role, killing one enemy with one shot, not wasting a single bullet. They were like a single man blocking a pass with ten thousand men unable to break through.
At dawn, more and more wounded were sent down by the troops in front.
More and more enemies rushed out from the battlefield ahead, and our task became more difficult. No one dared to relax.
When the sun rose, we had been fighting for six hours straight and were exhausted and starving. The company commander was about to order a short break and let the soldiers drink some water and eat some dry food.
At this moment, dense gunfire rang out, and about 300 enemies rushed towards the village entrance.
The company commander immediately ordered, "Comrades, save your bullets and wait until the enemy gets close to you to attack them. Hit them hard."
The intensive sound of gunfire and grenade explosions continued for more than half an hour.
Faced with an enemy that was twice as numerous as ours, the soldiers were all furious.
The company commander shouted, "Comrades, eliminate them as quickly as possible, otherwise once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, it will be even more difficult for us to capture them." So everyone put in their best effort.
I was also furious. I picked up my gun, stepped out of the trench, stood on the mound, and started shooting at the enemy.
I don’t know how long it took, but I only heard someone calling “Qin Chengrui”.
When I turned around, I saw Yin Yun standing one step behind me, with her arms outstretched. The sun shone on her, coating her whole body with golden light, as if she was walking on light.
The bullet passed through her chest and entered my left shoulder with her blood. The blood sprayed all over my face...
I dropped my machine gun, immediately went forward, grabbed her in my arms, and dragged her into the trench.
She smiled in my arms and said, "Qin Chengrui, you, live well."
I said, "Wife, please don't leave me. Let's watch the founding of New China together. You also said you would give me a big fat boy."
She looked at me with a smile, opened her mouth, and a stream of blood gushed out. "I, love, you..."
And just like that she closed her big eyes. Forever.
"Ah, daughter-in-law, Yin Yun."
"Wife, I will avenge you."
I wiped the tears and blood from my face and held her tightly in my arms.
At this moment, the company commander shouted, "Qin Chengrui, you're going to die! Hurry up, the general attack is about to begin. Let's go. Come back and take her back to the village after the battle is over."
"Yes, Captain."
At this time, I took out the tarpaulin, put it up from behind Yin Yun, tied it to my chest, wrapped her legs tightly around my waist, tied it with the backpack strap, and put Yin Yun's hands on my shoulders and around my neck. After preparing all this.
I said to her, "Wife, I will carry you on my back to fight the enemy. We will wipe them all out and liberate all of China. I will carry you on my back and watch the founding of New China."
So, on the battlefield, I am a special existence.
He carried a man on his back, holding a gun. His face was ashen, his eyes were red, and he had a murderous look in his eyes. He would shoot any enemy he saw, regardless of whether the enemy had surrendered or not. He would shoot any enemy who raised his gun.
When the company commander saw my condition, he shouted at me, "Qin Chengrui, you're crazy! Fall back! Your platoon will cover the rear."
At this time, I couldn't hear any sound from the outside world. I only knew that it was the enemy who killed my wife, and I wanted revenge.
Therefore, this battle was fought bravely and without any scruples.
I was shot in the body and legs again, but I didn't feel any pain at all until the battle was over. I knelt on the ground and fell down with my wife on my back.
When I woke up, I was sleeping on the big kang in our new house, with Yin Yun lying next to me.
Looking at her pale face without a trace of blood, my tears burst out. Letting the tears flow, I blamed myself in my heart, "If I hadn't jumped out of the trench, it would have been better. If I had seen her earlier, it would have been better. If only..."
I know that no matter how many ifs there are, my Yin Yun, my daughter-in-law will never come back and will live in my heart forever.
Three days later, I retreated with my injuries and buried her on the hill behind this small village. It was high up there, and she could see me and the new China from where she stood.
Later, I found their only relative in Hai City, her 17-year-old uncle, and took back everything from her mother's home.
The wind blows and the clouds fly.
During that special time, I helped her uncle donate most of the family property to the country, sold part of it, and sent him abroad to continue studying the physics he loved.
Now her uncle is doing research at an experimental base.
The bullet that pierced her heart and entered my arm was made into a hole by me, and I put it on a red rope and hung it around my neck, close to my heart.
She stayed there for more than 30 years.
She is my life!
