Chapter 25 Section 7

Reconnaissance company station. The scouts were shirtless and muscular, wearing camouflage pants and military boots, conducting various physical and combat training.Miao Lian strode forward, Xiao Zhuang and Xi Wa timidly followed behind with their backpacks and things on their backs. Miao Lian strode up to the company head, he waved his hands: "Come here!" The first platoon leader, the second platoon leader, and the third platoon leader hurried over and stood in a row in front of the company commander. Miao Lian nuzui: "These two soldiers are new here! This is Xiwa, very simple, with a strong body, a good young man who dares to fight hard! And this one, I won't say the name, You all know him."

Xiao Zhuang stood there at a loss. Chen Pai said: "Leave Xiwa to me, I need a captor!" Xiwa went over cheerfully: "Hello, platoon leader!" Chen Paixiao: "Our platoon has a lot of training tasks recently, and we have to prepare to participate in the exercise. It is enough to bring one. It really can't bring recruits." Miao Lian nodded: "Well, what about the second platoon leader?" The leader of the second platoon looked at Xiao Zhuang and muttered, "I'm the same as the leader of the first platoon..." Miao Lian's gaze turned to the third platoon leader.

The third platoon leader was a little hairy: "Report! We are now... we are now..." "Say it, just say it! Don't hesitate!" "I, I don't want... This is a bird soldier, not easy to discipline." Miao Lian nodded: "Well, did you tell the truth? Yes, you are better than the two of them, and you are lying!" He looked at Xiaozhuang, "Oh! What do you think? No one wants you?" Xiao Zhuang was a little embarrassed. Miao Lian thought for a while and said, "Let's go on, you can follow me as a clerk!" The three platoon leaders couldn't help spraying.

Miao Lian stared: "Why are you laughing? Go back to training!" "Yes!" The three platoon leaders immediately turned and ran away. Xiao Zhuang asked understandingly: "Company commander? What do you do with documents?" Miao Lian pouted again: "Just go in and ask the old secretary." "Yes." Xiaozhuang walked towards the company office, and he stopped at the door: "Report!" "Come in!" Xiaozhuang opened the door and came in: "Squad leader, the company commander asked me..." He was stunned. Lao Pao was packing his backpack, and his face was still wrapped in a piece of gauze.He was not surprised: "Say, what did the company commander ask you?"

Xiao Zhuang opened his mouth wide: "Squad leader, I didn't expect you to be..." Old Pao looked up: "I didn't expect what I am? I'm a clerk?" "yes." Lao Pao smiled for the first time, but it was fleeting: "You come, I will be the monitor of the next shift." "It has nothing to do with you. I have told Miao Lian many times that I am not suitable for clerical work, but for being a monitor. He has been unable to find a suitable person. This time he chose you, and I will be liberated." Xiao Zhuang didn't speak. "What? After a fight, you don't recognize me as the squad leader?"

Xiao Zhuang still didn't speak. Old Pao smiled: "When you really become a veteran, you will understand many things." Xiao Zhuang raised his eyes, not knowing how to answer. "Let me explain to you, you come with me." Xiaozhuang silently followed behind Lao Pao. gun storage.The light was dim, and the polished rifle lay quietly on the gun rack. Crash—the iron door of the security guard opened. Lao Pao shook a bunch of keys in his hand: "These keys will be yours to keep." Xiao Zhuang took the key, his head was a little big: "I...I handle the gun?"

"Ah, the easiest job of a clerk." Xiao Zhuang probed his head and followed Lao Pao into the gun library, and Lao Pao picked up a rifle: "This is the 81 automatic rifle you shot; this is the 85 sniper rifle, and this is the 85 micro-sound submachine gun—special for scouts." , There is no sound when you shoot it, you can only hear the sound of the firing pin; this is a 54 pistol, an 87 dagger gun, and this—” Lao Pao picked up a dagger and pulled it out, “Do you know what this is?” "Knife?" "This is a scout's dagger! Commonly known as a scout, it is a personal weapon for scouts! In the most dangerous time, a scout can not only kill the enemy, but also save your life! Of course, you don't understand it now - you will know later gone."

Xiao Zhuang understood very well. "As the clerk of the reconnaissance company, first of all, a qualified scout, or even an excellent scout, and then the clerk—do you know what the clerk does?" Xiao Zhuang shook his head: "I don't know." Old Pao smiled slyly: "Stay by Miao Lian's side, and you will succeed quickly." He put down the dagger in his hand, "Miao Lian gets up on time at 5:30, and your alarm clock should be set to 5! 5:29 Min, Miao Lian needs to wash his face and brush his teeth, you need to prepare face water and squeeze toothpaste..."

"Am I a clerk or an orderly? My dad and I have never served like this!" "It's clerical work..." Xiaozhuang turned around and left: "I don't do clerical work! I don't serve people!" Old Pao smiled from behind: "Then tell Miao Lian yourself." Xiaozhuang strode towards the company headquarters. company department.Miao Lian was looking at the file. "Report!" Xiao Zhuang shouted outside. Miao picked up the cup to drink water without even looking up: "Come in!" Xiao Zhuang comes in. Miao Lian found that the water was gone, and put the cup on the table.

Xiao Zhuang was taken aback for a moment. "Pour water." Miao Lian still didn't look up. Xiaozhuang looked at the cup, then at Miaolian.Miao Lian was indifferent, still looking at the documents.Xiao Zhuang hesitated, reaching out to pick up the cup.Miao Lian was still looking at the documents, and didn't look at Xiao Zhuang at all. Xiaozhuang poured a cup of hot water for Miaolian very strangely, and put it on Miaolian's table. Miao didn't even lift her head: "Go out... Find me in my regular uniform, and I'll go to the division headquarters for a meeting right away."

Xiao Zhuang looked at Miao Lian blankly, and Miao Lian raised his eyes: "Do you have anything else to do?" "No, no more." "Go ahead and tell the driver to wait for me at the gate of the company." "Yes." Xiao Zhuang turned and went out. Xiaozhuang stopped at the entrance of the company's gate, blinking his eyes: "What's wrong with me?" Xiao Zhuang smiled in front of the computer, and typed: "What's wrong with me—I was 17 years old, and I was a lawless bird. In front of Miao Lian, I became obedient, and I didn't even need any orders." "Many years later, I asked myself again, what caused my transformation? So far I can't find the answer. In my memory, Miao Lian has an indescribably huge energy. This energy makes me Shocked, I involuntarily entered the position of a company clerk. I think that was the beginning of my transformation from a shitty college student to a soldier!" After writing this paragraph, Xiao Zhuang rubbed his eyes and posted the post on the website.He clicked the mouse and was amazed - the click-through rate of the post was very high. Xiao Zhuang opened the post, and a series of touching messages from readers appeared under the post. Xiao Zhuang read one by one, and tears slowly flowed out. In the tears, Xiao Zhuang fell into memories again... Reconnaissance company. Xiao Zhuang is cleaning the table.A rag slipped by, and under the glass was a yellowed color photograph.Xiaozhuang looked at it curiously. This is a group photo taken during the Vietnam War.A group of sturdy men in camouflage uniforms held all kinds of light and heavy weapons in their hands, and there was an unconcealable bird look in their eyes. "Company commander, is this you?" Xiao Zhuang immediately recognized the young Miao Lian. Miao Lian was buttoning his uniform, and he turned his head: "Ah, can't you tell?" "This is, is this a war?" Miao Lian looked at the photo: "Yes, this is the reconnaissance brigade of our military region during the Southern Xinjiang War - the 12th reconnaissance brigade, code-named 'Spike'." "Spike? This, this is obviously a dog's head?" Miao Lian couldn't laugh or cry: "What dog's head? It's a wolf's head, see clearly! Spike! The reason why we call 'Spike' has something to do with him!" Miao Lian pointed at a man in the photo, and the man looked up. Chin, with an indescribable bird-like air, "He Zhijun—the captain of our 'Spike' reconnaissance brigade, because of his bravery and combat skills, the enemy calls him 'Spike' in awe!" Xiao Zhuang stared at the middle-aged man with wide eyes. Miao Lian smiled and pointed to the group of heroes: "This is Xiao Gao, a disciple of Shaolin laymen, known as the 'No. 1 Scout Warrior on the Western Front'; Company Commander Lei, a scout with a background in music conductor, with a cold and vicious style..." Xiaozhuang looked at the photo: "Miao Lian, is this the legendary special forces?" Miao Lian's eyes dimmed: "No, it's the originator of the special forces. The 12th Reconnaissance Brigade is the predecessor of the current Special Brigade in our military region. The code name is the same - 'Spike'!" "Miao Lian, then why don't you go to the special forces and come to our reconnaissance company?" Miao Lian didn't speak again, and said for a moment: "Get water, I want to wash my face." "Oh." Xiao Zhuang turned around and went, and after a while a basin of hot water came. Miao Lian washed her face in the basin.Xiao Zhuang stood beside him naturally.Bang!There was a crisp sound.Xiao Zhuang was startled: "Miao Lian, what's missing?" Miao Lian closed his eyes and touched in the washbasin: "Go get a clean cup!" Xiao Zhuang hurriedly brought the cup.Miao Lian found something and threw it into the glass with a bang. Xiao Zhuang held up the glass cup and took a closer look, it was an eyeball!He was startled.Miao Lian closed his eyes: "Pour hot water and disinfect!" The hot water soaked the eyeballs. Xiaozhuang looked at Miao Lian. Miao Lian took out his eyeballs and put them on, rubbed them, and said flatly, "White-eyed wolf's shrapnel exploded." He turned around and picked up his military cap, put it on, and went out to get in the car, which drove past the training ground and went away. Xiaozhuang watched Miao Lianyuan go silently.At that moment, he really understood why Miao Lian has such a huge energy that can convince him - because he is a real tough guy and a real soldier.Xiao Zhuang began to re-examine his own definition of the common word "soldier", and for the first time he felt a kind of heroism - because he served as a soldier under such a tough company commander, he was willing to follow him on the battlefield and would not hesitate to die ! Xiao Zhuang was stunned for a while, but Miao Lian's car had long since disappeared.He left the company headquarters and walked to the side of the training field to watch everyone train.Chen Pai was doing a fighting demonstration. He let out a roar, then ran a few quick steps, split his legs and kicked two jars held high in the hands of the soldiers, and then turned around in the air and kicked the other two jars. Chen Pai landed steadily, breathing evenly. The scouts applauded, and Xiaozhuang also applauded. Chen Pai turned to see him, smiled and said nothing, and turned to his soldiers: "Have you seen them all?" "I see!" The soldiers replied in unison. Chen Pai gestured, stably kicked out his legs, and fixed them in mid-air: "In close combat, the role of legs can be summed up in an idiom - it is very important! Fighting is the basic skill of scouts, and leg skills are the basic skills of basic skills! Do you understand?" "Understood!" "Continue training!" The soldiers rushed to the sandbags and started kicking and beating. Chen Pai's eyes were sharp: "Height! Kick the enemy's neck with one kick! Come again!" Xiwa screamed and kicked the sandbag with her legs. Xiao Zhuang was eager to try, but he hesitated to speak in the back: "Pull..." Chen Pai turned around: "What's wrong?" Xiao Zhuang mustered up his courage: "Platoon leader, I... can I train with you? I finished cleaning the company, and I..." Chen Pai smiled: "You don't want to be a soldier, why do you still want to train with us?" "Seeing everyone training, I feel awkward." "Okay, join the ranks and participate in training!" "Hey!" Xiao Zhuang happily ran in, stood beside Xiwa, and kicked with Chen Pai's unified password. Chen Pai shouted: "One!" Xiao Zhuang yelled at the soldiers: "Kill—" Chen Pai shouted "Two!" Xiao Zhuang yelled at the soldiers, "Kill——" ... In this way, Xiaozhuang's career as a scout began.During the day, he followed the carefree Miao company around, and in his spare time, he trained with Chen platoon; at night, he went to the arsenal to study various guns by himself.As the days passed, Xiaozhuang's grades in various subjects began to rise gradually...
