Chapter 19 Section ten

On the morning of the eighth day, the troops were still clearing and leveling the grass in the camp.The soldiers were still alive and well, but they were even thinner; He Zhijun and Geng Hui both held tools and worked with the soldiers, singing "Nanniwan" loudly. There were of course armed sentries at the door.Two dark-faced soldiers wore steel helmets and camouflage uniforms, and held rifles in high spirits and remained motionless. A sentry blinked his eyes, thinking he had misread: "Impossible?" "What's the matter?" the squad leader with the whistle asked.

"Car, convoy!" The sentry stammered. "People in the nearby villages should get married." The squad leader looked over. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it will be bad food! ——There are more than a dozen high-end cars in Hulala, and the first car I see is actually a Mercedes-Benz!When did this ghost place have so many luxury cars? !The county magistrate's family didn't take advantage of this ostentation when they got married? ! "It's a military badge!" The sentry said sharply. The squad leader squinted his eyes and saw that his face changed drastically. No matter how stupid the soldiers are, they still have to know what rank these license plates belong to.He waved his hands: "Quick, quick! They are all the heads of the military region! Go report to the captain and the political commissar, I will stand guard at the door!"

The sentinel came down from the sentry platform and ran in. The squad leader stood at the sentry's position on the sentry platform just now, poking a very good military posture. As soon as the convoy arrived at the gate, He Zhijun and Geng Hui ran over with all the dozen or so cadres.The door opened quickly, and the cadres poked at the side to salute.The convoy rushed in without any response. The old man sat in the Mercedes-Benz and looked at the barracks on both sides silently. The barracks had begun to take shape, and there was even a blackboard newspaper.However, it is still impossible for this barracks to be full of depressions that have been abandoned due to the dismantling of troops for many years.

Then I saw soldiers lined up on the playground with tools such as shovels and picks covered in dust. The convoy stopped one by one in front of the soldiers. Where did the soldiers drawn from the reconnaissance units of the field army in the valley see so many generals at the same time?It's rare to see a large school, so it must be a teacher!But the facts are the facts. The senior colonels who got out of the car were all followers, and the ones poking in front were several generals.The golden generals proclaimed their majesty, the biggest being a lieutenant general and the rest were major generals.

Old He Zhijun and Geng Hui had already run over to salute: "Hello, Chief!" The old man looked at these skinny and dark fighters, their blood-red eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, and the sweat on the camouflage uniform, and he didn't say anything for a long time.No one knows what he is thinking now.He turned his gaze to the field cooking truck in the corner, and strode over.He Zhijun and Geng Hui hurried forward to lead the way, The cooking squad leader was so excited that he stood at attention and saluted. The old man returned the salute and ordered: "Open the lid of the pot."

The cooking squad leader was taken aback, looking at He Zhijun and Geng Hui. "Open it." The old man had a good temper, so he repeated it once. The cooking squad leader didn't dare to hesitate any longer and lifted the lid of the pot to make a pot of wild vegetable soup. The old man's hands began to tremble, and he turned to the chief officers of the logistics department behind him. The logistics minister lowered his head: "Chief, it's because I didn't do my job well." "See?" the old man asked in a trembling voice. "I see." There was a low voice.

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look!" The old man got angry and finally yelled out. The chiefs quickly stood at attention. "Today, just stay here for dinner!" The old man's voice dropped, "I'll eat here too." "Chief, you..." The secretary spoke hastily. "What a soldier can eat, I can eat too!" the old man yelled again. I dare not speak anymore. The corners of He Zhijun and Geng Hui's eyes were wet.Many soldiers shed tears, and so did cadres. "Chief, it doesn't matter if we eat, you can forget about it." The logistics minister said carefully.

"No!" The old man tightened his grip, "I'll just eat here!" The Minister of Logistics turned to his subordinates: "When can the non-staple food be dispatched?" The second-level minister in charge hurriedly said: "One day." "One day?" The logistics minister became angry, "What have you been doing for a month?!" The second-level minister didn't know what to say. "One hour, the troops from the vicinity will be dispatched today, and they will make up for it later!" The Minister of Logistics ordered. "Yes!" The second-level minister hurriedly turned around and ran to his car.The colonel started running like a recruit, and he had not seen many people.

"Chief, wait a moment, dinner will be served later." The logistics minister said carefully. "Let's go! Go to the barracks." The old man said. Stepping into the dark and damp military building, the old man walked into the dormitory without saying a word.There is no bed yet, and the soldiers' bedding is on the ground.The housekeeping is absolutely standard, all are tofu cubes.He squatted down and lifted the blanket, there was hay underneath, and without saying a word, he got up again and walked to the door to pull the light cord.Of course there was no light when there was no electricity, so he turned around without saying a word, went to the water room and turned on the faucets one by one.Not a single tap had water.

"There is a well in the back." He Zhijun said carefully, "We can still guarantee our draft." The old man didn't even look at the heads of various departments he had brought, and turned around and left.The head of the barracks said this time without waiting for the old man to speak: "In two days, the construction team will go up the mountain. I will dispatch the field tents this afternoon, and the generator car and bathing car will also come here." The old man glanced at him, didn't speak, and didn't express any satisfaction. What is there to be satisfied with?This is what should be done, right?

Why did you go early? ! But he still didn't say that he could get involved in many things, but he couldn't get too deep into it--the cadres who can climb to this position will not be stunned, and there are people behind them.This kind of network is often maintained by many things that you can't see, and it is often not such a simple relationship with old subordinates.Everything can only be done slowly. If the fire is too high, the dish will be mushy. Therefore, don't ask what the funds allocated to the special reconnaissance brigade by the headquarters and the military region are used for. Just implement it. Then, while waiting for the cooking class to resume, the old man inspected the Army Special Forces under him, which had not yet been born.Nothing less, although unprepared - both He Zhijun and Geng Hui meant this. parade.Military boxing.Grab and fight.Speed ​​car capture.Climbing...everyone who can report has been reported, they are all veterans, and they are not weak if they are drawn casually; besides, many people come from the same army, and they have been in fighting teams for many years.Although it is the same old style of scouts, the spirit of the tiger and wolf division is definitely coming out. ——The old man just watched, didn't speak, and showed no expression. It's over, it's time for him to speak. He was standing on the viewing stand, without a microphone. salute. He saluted his subordinates for a long time. Did not let go for a long time. The sobbing of the younger soldiers in the phalanx gradually sounded, and the veterans and cadres were holding back their tears. After a long time, he put his hands down: "Comrades!" Brush - all stand at attention. His Adam's apple was wriggling, and after a long time, he asked, "Is it bitter?" "Not bitter!" The earth shakes and the mountains shake. On the dark and thin face under the steel helmet, and those bloodshot eyes, what came out was the spirit of a tiger and wolf teacher. The old man didn't say a word. The old general raised his right hand again to salute his soldiers. "salute--" He Zhijun shouted. brush!All officers and soldiers saluted to their generals. The desolate barracks were silent. Only the uncontrollable cries of dozens of little soldiers in the phalanx—— Veteran doesn't mean old! what sound? The bright five-star red flag fluttered above their heads with the sound of the wind.
