Chapter 4 Chapter 2: A Horse Is a Mule (2)

It's no wonder Gao Cheng said, I'm getting annoyed, but this is to let you put the spirit of an army into your steps.But don't tell your family that being a soldier is just a queue. After two days, you will be assigned to the combat unit and you will be rich. Especially my armored reconnaissance company, with nine vehicles and nine guns, is the first to fight any battle. One, that is simply nine active fortresses!Let's not compare with his tanks, our mechanized assault infantry still rely on individuals to fight, and we will clean up the cowhide tanks and infantry anti-tank firearms for him!

That Gaocheng is a militant master, and when he talked about this, he was beaming with joy. He said so, let me tell you about this mechanized infantry training course to satisfy your hunger?Gun shooting, gun theory, gun maintenance and repair; chariot driving... As he was talking, he suddenly noticed something muttering in Xu Sanduo's mouth and stopped. Xu Sanduo, what are you talking about? Reported to the company commander, did not say anything. Gao Cheng had no choice but to continue talking, but before saying a word, he found Xu Sanduo muttering. Xu Sanduo, what are you talking about?Gao Cheng shouted again.

Report to the company commander, I will recite what the company commander said! Gao Cheng was taken aback, there is such a person in the world?Just say, so you can memorize them? Xu Sanduo said: Some words don't know what they mean. Gao Cheng said, then you can recite it for me, what subjects did you just say. As soon as Xu Sanduo opened his mouth, he really recited, what firearms shoot, what the principle of firearms, and what maintenance and repair of firearms did not say a word.Gao Cheng was surprised, he said Xu Sanduo, you can do it?Chengcai secretly held out his thumb behind Xu Sanduo's back.

Xu Sanduo didn't miss this opportunity. He asked the company commander, I don't know what NBC means. NBC is the protection of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Gao Cheng smiled at Xu Sanduo for the first time.It's rare that someone remembers your words verbatim. Xu Sanduo, what are you doing carrying it?he asked suspiciously. Xu Sanduo said to report to the company commander, and memorize it so that I can write a letter to my dad!Does the company commander have anything to say to my dad? Gao Cheng's smile suddenly froze on his face, he said no, I have nothing to say!Then tell them to arrange and copy the "Confidentiality Handbook" three times before going to bed!He said that there are some things that you shouldn't ask, so you can't ask, you know?After finishing speaking, I went out.

Copying the "Confidentiality Manual" is no small matter, and everyone complained about it.Everyone blames Xu Sanduo, if you really have a good memory, save it, if you really want to leak secrets, you can just lie in the quilt and tell the pillow, what's the matter with trying to leak secrets?Some even asked Xu Sanduo to copy for them.Chengcai couldn't hear him anymore, so he didn't have to say a word, and everyone gradually quieted down. Only Xu Sanduo was still copying desperately, Cheng Cai said what are you busy with? Xu Sanduo said that I would copy it several times, so that I could share it with everyone.

Chengcai got angry when he heard it, and he simply snatched his pen.This will not work, if this continues, you will get points to feed the pigs even if you are not dismissed.When you came to the army, you didn't even touch a gun.Xu Sanduo, let me ask you, seeing those rumbling guys, can you still grow the land when you go home? Xu Sanduo thought for a while, and said, there is no way to plant. Chengcai then told Xu Sanduo softly: You have to find someone. The squad leader doesn't like me, and the company commander... But Cheng Cai told him that the platoon leader likes you, so you should find the platoon leader.

Xu Sanduo thought for a while, and felt that it seemed so, so he nodded to Cheng Cai. It’s fine even if you cry, in short... In short, you have to make the platoon leader feel that you like this place and you don’t want to leave here. Xu Sanduo said that I like this! I like it too, I mean, you make him think you like it! Chengcai's voice was a little uncontrollable, and the people around looked at him secretly, and then they stopped. At night, Shi Jin came in to check the shop and found the stack of handwritten confidential manuals. He looked at Xu Sanduo and saw that he was sleeping soundly, so he left in peace. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Xu Sanduo crept up, Followed out.

In fact, none of the soldiers in the room slept, and they all watched under the covers. When Shi Jin walked not far outside, he suddenly felt that something was wrong behind him. He turned off the flashlight, dodged, stopped Xu Sanduo, and shouted: Xu Sanduo, what are you doing?His voice was very low, but Xu Sanduo was still screaming in fright, Shi Jin covered his mouth with one hand, and said, why don't you sleep well?Xu Sanduo said, I was frightened by you just now, and now I won't be able to cry.Shi Jin was taken aback, why are you crying?homesick?Xu Sanduo shook his head incessantly, saying that I don't want to go home, really, not at all.Just say homesick, nothing to be ashamed of.Write more letters to your dad.Xu Sanduo said no, I don't want to go home.But as soon as he mentioned home, Xu Sanduo's eye circles turned red secretly. He said, platoon leader, I miss home, but I don't want to go back!

As if he was really about to be sent back, Xu Sanduo suddenly burst into tears. Shi Jin quickly blocked his mouth, why are you crying?Don't disturb other people's rest! Xu Sanduo blocked his mouth with his fist, sobbing secretly. Shi Jin seemed to understand, so he persuaded him, who told you to go back?You haven't made any big mistakes.Xu Sanduo, don't worry, no one will let you go back, you are actually a good person, that is... that's a little bit, it's okay, this company, all the soldiers are useful, including you. Xu Sanduo suddenly said: I don't know how to raise pigs.

Shi Jin was taken aback, why do you know how to raise pigs? Xu Sanduo didn't know what to say, he just said repeatedly, I don't want to raise pigs. Shi Jin couldn't help but smile wryly at this little recruit, he said Xu Sanduo, what kind of confused thoughts are going on in your head?Who asked you to raise pigs?These people are raised in the army to fight, why raise some people and then raise pigs?Think about it for yourself, is this a good deal?Don't worry, there are not so many pigs for you to raise, and the pork you eat every day is still pulled back from the market in half and half.

Xu Sanduo finally expressed his worries. He said, platoon leader, where will I be assigned to? Then I don't know.Shi Jin suddenly felt a little guilty, he said that this matter is out of my control.Then can I touch the gun?Chengcai said that to be a soldier you have to touch your gun.Shi Jin seemed to understand, understood Xu Sanduo's anxiety, he said you can touch the gun, I guarantee you can touch the gun.Xu Sanduo said platoon leader, let me and Chengcai be in the same company, it’s best to be in the same company with you, I must study hard, yes, it’s best to be in the same company with the squad leader.Shi Jin said Wu Liuyi?That's right, he scolded me yesterday, but I can tell that he is only for my own good, and he is a fellow villager with me.Shi Jin suddenly became a little angry: You go back to sleep well, don't talk about things you shouldn't ask!Xu Sanduo made a U-turn and went back. As soon as he entered the room, Chengcai asked, "How is it?"Xu Sanduo said, the platoon leader said, no pigs for us to feed.What do you mean by becoming a talent?Xu Sanduo said that the platoon leader said that we were being raised for war.The soldiers in the distance couldn't hear them, so they shouted loudly: "Speak up, Xu Sanduo!"It was only then that Xu Sanduo realized that everyone in the room was waiting for him. He had never been so proud in his life, and his voice was an octave higher. The platoon leader said, raising us is for war, so we can't raise more people to raise pigs, it's not worth the money. It's not worth it.Chengcai asked suspiciously: But who spread the news about raising pigs? Then we have four dishes and one soup every day, where does the pork we eat come from?I don't have so much meat at home.Someone thought carefully. Xu Sanduo acted like a press spokesman. He said that the platoon leader said that half and half pieces were brought back from the market. For a moment, I heard a lot of long breathing and the sound of my head falling on the pillow. What else is Xu Sanduo? The platoon leader also said, make sure I can touch the gun! You can touch a gun, let alone me.Chengcai said. Xu Sanduo didn't realize that he was a questioning stone. He was thinking about his own thoughts: to become a talent, what is human-vehicle coordination? Probably the car is running ahead and the people are following behind, right?Success speculation. This technical issue aroused everyone's interest, and everyone chatted wildly. Maybe the enemy is driving away, let's start chasing. Bah bah, that's a fight between a human and a car, it's not called coordination. Why is it so loose in the movie? Why is it called a chariot fire assault? What is three-step boarding?When I take a bus, I always get on the bus in one step, or three steps? What is Chengcai talking about?I'm not sleeping anymore, are I? No, squad deputy, the army is here, who wants to go back like this? Someone answered in the dark.Anyway, everyone thinks so.After thinking about it, the snoring gradually started. This day I was practicing shooting on the shooting range, and a group of soldiers were nervous there, not because of the gunshots, but because they were afraid that they would not be able to shoot well.The passwords of the squad leaders followed the gunshots one after another.Chengcai stood upright, because he knew that the company commander was behind him. Xu Sanduo, shoot in place! Xu Sanduo went out to take the rifle, and Wu Liuyi realized that there were not many magazines in his hand, so he turned to the ammunition box next to him to get the bullets. With such skill, Xu Sanduo turned around with the gun.He said monitor, are there any bullets in this gun? Where Xu Sanduo's guns passed, a whole group of soldiers dodged. Gao Cheng hurriedly shouted: Put down the gun! Xu San was confused, what did he say? Supervisor Shi Jin stepped over, grabbed the trigger, and quickly fired the gun for him. Gao Cheng stepped over: Xu Sanduo, are your thoughts in the sky? Knowing that he had done something wrong again, Xu Sanduo said to Shi Jin beside him, "Platoon leader, I... Before I finished speaking, Shi Jin whispered to him, don't think about these things, play hard, and get into the total score evaluation."Xu Sanduo lay down resentfully.Shi Jin on the side also whispered a word of encouragement, saying that your posture is very good, don't shake your hands...don't worry about your heartbeat, there are only guns and targets now, relax...relax... However, after a few shots, all of them hit the stones next to the target, causing stone chips to fly. Platoon leader, did I hit it? Before Shi Jin could reply, Wu Liuyi angrily ordered Xu Sanduo to return to the team. When the recruit training was about to end, the commander of the third red company went to the headquarters of the seventh company to look for soldiers in Gaocheng, of course he wanted good soldiers.He was blasted away by Gao Cheng.He told Shi Jin, what do you think we worked so hard for in March?Don't you just try to get the two elites back home, so as to brighten up the family of the Seventh Company? ... Gao Cheng decided to keep the good soldiers for himself, but on the day of making the roster, they had a bit of trouble. He thought he couldn't be a good soldier, so he dragged him to the Seventh Company!Based on his own experience, he divided the soldiers into thirty-seven types of personalities. He felt that he could only bring the soldiers who best fit the style of the Seventh Company to the Seventh Company. He wanted them to become his own family within three days after returning. Wu Liuyi was surprised to hear that, and said company commander, what kind of personality do you think I am? Gao Cheng said that you are a locomotive, but you are too showy, always thinking about leaving the track to show off.He is good at surviving, but he is not selfish. I can trust this kind of person. Wu Liuyi hit the nail on the head, so he hurriedly changed the subject, saying what about the squad leader? Gao Cheng said, he is a town rock, let it go there, he will not move for many years.Sometimes when he looks at the clouds, he thinks it would be great if I can float, but he thinks he wants to, and he won't even tell anyone.If such a person can't be trusted, what else can he trust?I was just afraid of doing him wrong. Shi Jin was a little embarrassed, but he was moved in his heart. He smiled and didn't say anything. Wu Liuyi was convinced, and said, the level of the company commander is different from ours.Let's talk about this again, let's take a look at the deputy senior talent of the fifth squad who performed the best in the recruit company. Gao Cheng thought about it, and he said that it was a moon-watching monkey with a heart as high as the sky, and he could climb as high as he could.Climbing on a branch forever and looking at the moon, he thought: I want to go up, go up... But he doesn't understand that to go up to the moon, he must first get off the tree, evolve into a human being and then go up on a rocket. He is so clever.Don't look at him as gentle, he is very aggressive, if you give him a goal, he can fight for a lifetime.Therefore, the seventh company of steel is going to be determined, and the seventh company is afraid that people will not be aggressive. What about Xu Sanduo?Shi Jin said. Gao Cheng's smiling face suddenly disappeared, he shook his head: I don't want to say. Prefer not to say? What is there to say about the typical slime personality?I know he is kind, but he always messes up things. If you treat him badly, he won't be angry. If you treat him well, he clings to you every day, and his thoughts every day are not on him at all.What else can this kind of soldier with no self-esteem have to say?If he can cope with the three years of military service, he will be considered a victory.Gao Cheng said. Shi Jin pondered: where would he go? Gao Cheng said: Find a place where he won't get in your way. or…… What else?Gao Cheng sees Shi Jin hesitating, what else?I see you have something to say when you call in. Do you want to ignore my class?I promise to train him well. To be honest, this Xu Sanduo is also the one who trains the most seriously in this group of soldiers. Are you not afraid that he will hit you? Shi Jin shook his head: Don't be afraid... Wu Liuyi, who wrote the roster, lost his composure. He said I objected!Company commander, I'm not going to say anything to you, it's just this one after another lagging behind, dragging the squad leader so far that he can't get up. Gao Cheng felt the same, so he enlightened Shi Jin, I know you are not afraid of being smashed, the third squad leader, you are a very thoughtful rock.But ideas belong to ideas, and armored forces are synonymous with pragmatism.Don't forget, our Seventh Steel Company is the top sharp knife company in the regiment, we can't afford it, and we don't have time to open that kind of enlightenment school for people.Whoever wants to live a good life stays at home, what I want are soldiers that can be used. But Shi Jin refused to give up, he said, if there is a year... Before he finished speaking, Gao Cheng interrupted. He said no, he is a junior high school student, and our company will achieve a full high school company within two years! When the company commander said this, Shi Jin choked.Wu Liuyi shook his hand on the roster. Gao Cheng was afraid that Shi Jin would take it to heart, so he quickly eased the atmosphere, saying it's okay, I'll choke you with my words.I don't blindly worship academic qualifications, how many high school students can compare to you, a junior high school student?Take two... no, I wouldn't take five high school kids for a change.Xu Sanduo is the only soldier I despise. Gao Cheng looked at the twilight outside the window, and the playground was full of active soldiers.Shi Jin remained silent, waiting for him to continue. Seeing his own tanks, he raised his hands and surrendered, but what would he do when he saw the enemy's tanks?I can't figure it out.The third squad leader, you sympathize with his cowardice, you are kinder than me, I was raised by my father when I was young, my father said that tortoises are a monster, and the son of a mouse can make holes, the worst thing in our business is to be human cowardly. Shi Jin didn't know what to say, he knew Xu Sanduo's fate, so maybe it was decided like this. At this time, Xu Sanduo was writing letters to his family in the dormitory. He said to them in the letter: Mom, Dad, and brother, I am fine, I sleep well, I eat well, I have four dishes and one soup every day for three months, and I practice well, but I don’t feel good, Chengcai said. Good…… Xu Sanduo said: Tomorrow the troops will be divided. Chengcai said that I will definitely be assigned to a very good company. I think he is comforting me. Chengcai said you can relax... As soon as the morning sun rose, the whistle on the playground blew, and the soldiers rushed out of the dormitory with their backpacks packed earlier. Their current actions and speed were indeed worthy of that military uniform.The recruits lined up and stood in line. Only then did they realize that something was different in the morning light. There were several cars parked on the playground, several military cards, and an air-conditioned bus. Company Commander Gao Cheng stood between the army card and the bus with the roster, and shouted at them: Lu Yuan, No. 2 car; Huang Yifei, No. 2 car; Jia Honglin, No. 1 car; Lu Ning, No. 3 car... The recruits were puzzled, and said, why did the squad deputy get two kinds of cars? To become a talent without thinking, what is the point of asking?Those who go to a good unit get an air-conditioned car, and those who go to a bad unit get a truck. Feng Guoqing, car No. 1... Car No. 1 was a truck. A recruit who was asking questions was about to cry, but he gritted his teeth and passed by. Become a talent, No. 2 car... The No. 2 car was also a truck, and the Chengcai's standing military posture suddenly became a little wilted. When he heard that Xu Sanduo got into the No. 3 car, which was the only air-conditioned car, he almost cried. But Xu Sanduo was overjoyed. He was so excited that he got into the car before he became a talent.Gao Cheng was dissatisfied when he saw it, what did he say to grab?This is also jammed?Xu Sanduo was very diligent in his heart, and he said yes, company commander! Chengcai over there got on the truck dejectedly. After a while, all the soldiers on the playground had already boarded the car, and Cheng Cai showed his eyes from the tarpaulin, staring at the air conditioner next to him.He saw Xu Sanduo winking at the soldiers in their truck in the air-conditioned car, almost flying with pride. Gao Cheng was busy shaking hands with the instructor under the car, and said, you just have to work hard again to send them off?The instructor smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I've already seen it. The commander of the seventh company returned home with a full load this time, so naturally he returned home like an arrow."Gao Cheng didn't give in at all: Your soldiers picked by the Red Third Company are not bad either.He gave him a thumbs up and said that he was far worse than the Seventh Company of Steel. If you want to say that Company Commander Gao's eyesight belongs to this.Without waiting for Gao Cheng to speak again, the instructor got on the air conditioner. The air-conditioned car started, Xu Sanduo hurriedly made a face at Cheng Cai, and suddenly found that Cheng Cai was tearing up, Xu Sanduo was taken aback, and the circles of his eyes turned red.He waved at him blankly, watching the talented person in his eyes getting further and further away from him, getting smaller and smaller. The convoy quickly traveled on a road prepared for combat. The instructor looked at the soldiers in front of him and said: Don't talk too much, everyone, you won't be a recruit from now on, so you can't just relax when no one is watching.Let me first introduce to you the situation of the division that we will serve for three years. We belong to the T Armored Division, which is a nationally registered armored force. Our regiment is the main mechanized infantry regiment of the T Division.Everyone and I watched. The recruits over there rushed to see the past. On the yellow-green land in the distance, the sign of the military restricted area, an old-fashioned tank in the flower bed, the gun barrel pointing directly at the blue sky. That's the main tank regiment of our T Division. He has been to North Korea and Vietnam. Isn't that guy at the door majestic? The recruits rallied and answered: Prestige! ! It was an old gadget used in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it has been replaced for four generations now.Everyone look over there again.The necks of soldiers in a car are turning like steering wheels: that is our modern artillery regiment, with fully autonomous and computerized field artillery stationed there.Over there, over there is the armored reconnaissance battalion station, over there, that is our division headquarters!Over there, everyone, look over there, the boys have caught up! Everyone turned their heads quickly, and two armed helicopters were rising from a field airport covered by trees. Most of the soldiers were probably seeing helicopters for the first time, and their necks were raised, and half of their bodies wanted to lean out of the car window. That is our helicopter brigade!Equipped with various types of helicopters, it is responsible for important ground support and assault transportation tasks. Do we still have planes? Of course there is. Can we sit? The instructor noticed that Xu Sanduo had leaned out of the window, and hurriedly shouted: "Sit back!"Xu Sanduo.Just as Xu Sanduo retracted his body, a car passed by outside. Chengcai's side was a different scene, a truckload of soldiers looked at each other dully.Cheng Cai kept staring at a soldier on the opposite side. The soldier was so stared at by him that he wanted to cry and felt embarrassed, so he had to stare at him as well.No one spoke. The muffled sound passed outside the tarpaulin. It was the two helicopters that had just lifted off and flew past. What's happening?a recruit asked. No one answered, and everyone looked at him with some reproach. The soldier lowered his hat and stopped talking. Those two helicopters were also very interesting, passing by at ultra-low altitude, which aroused the excitement of the soldiers in the air-conditioned carriage. The instructor looked at a barracks shaded by greenery outside, and said to the soldiers: Everyone be quiet, have you seen the barracks gate?That is the mechanized infantry regiment we belong to, and we are all part of the middle.Comrades, are you proud or not? pride! ! The helicopter flew away. The instructor asked again: Are you proud? The recruit's voice was about to burst: proud! ! Someone even chanted Long live!The whole car laughed with excitement, and the instructor also laughed, but he said, there is no need to shout, comrades, should we sing a song? How about Armored Soldiers March?This is when singing, a soldier volunteered to make a note, and the ground shook with a song, and the morale value was so high that passers-by all looked sideways at him. Before the song was finished, when the car was getting closer and closer to the gate of the regiment, it suddenly turned a corner and entered a small road. From the few people behind, their eyes suddenly became straight, and they discovered: It turns out that the truck behind is driving straight into the gate of the regiment! Chengcai was really surprised, his eyes widened when he saw that the car had entered this place. Several infantry vehicles came out of the sidewalk and were pinned down by the truck. The soldiers on the vehicle were so excited that they had no time to wait, and jumped out of the rear hatch one after another, and soon formed a team. Looking at the group of soldiers in full armor: their uniforms, their rifles, machine guns, rocket launchers, field radios, and some things that the recruits can't even name, the talents and the newly withered waists of the recruits, Suddenly he straightened up again. What Xu Sanduo and the others went to was a small town, which was prosperous because of the military stationing. As soon as the car turned on the trail, the desolate scene appeared in an instant.The recruits in the air-conditioned car didn't know that they were still singing happily, and they were already a little dazed. It took a long time before someone asked doubtfully: Where are we going? The instructor did not answer, but only greeted everyone: Comrades, keep singing! Xu Sanduo was a little numb after singing. Where are we going? Someone asked quietly again. have no idea. Outside the car, there is an endless grassland.Trucks are like ants here.Except for a simple road, there is no one in the surrounding tens of kilometers. The voice of singing has gradually diminished.The recruits had already sung so dryly that they couldn't even sing. The car finally stopped in front of the gate of a small camp. There was a green vegetable field in the camp. A few dirt-like soldiers were waiting in front of the gate, beating gongs and drums when the car stopped. Some people still held hoes in their hands.The instructor took out the roster, read the names of Lu Ning and Liu Hongbing, and said that you are here, the production base.After Lu Ning and Liu Hongbing got out of the car, the car continued to drive forward. More than an hour later, the car stopped at another small camp gate.A slogan "Welcome new comrades to our house" was pasted on the gate of the camp. Under the slogan, the soldiers looked like fried doughnuts.The instructor said: This is the oil warehouse.He took out the roster again, read the names of Ma Rong and Lin Dongzhi, and the ones called Ma Rong and Lin Zhidong got out of the car again. The number of people in the car gradually decreased as they walked and got off. There was only one soldier left when he got out of the car for the last time. This is Xu Sanduo! At this time, the instructor was already drowsy, and heard the driver shouting in front: the last one.He woke up suddenly, and looked back at Xu Sanduo who was sitting in the last row. Both of them seemed to be a little stupid for no reason. In front of him, there are four simple houses standing upright, and not even the person who greeted them saw it. The instructor cleared his throat: Xu Sanduo, you are here.The red three company, the second row and the fifth shift guard the oil pipeline, a glorious and arduous task. Xu Sanduo was stunned, as if he had been hit with a sap, and he couldn't survive for a long time.
