Chapter 16 Chapter fifteen

The military decathlon on the military arena is in full swing.Xu Sanduo didn't take part in the competition, and he has gotten used to taking care of him outside the competition in the past few months. On the arena, Wu Liuyi, who was fully armed, leaped high, but failed to hold onto the dangling rope at his hand, and fell heavily to the ground.The fall was really hard, Wu Liuyi shook his head to wake up, and the sound of cheering that was close at hand became very far away. He looked at Xu Sanduo who was shouting and jumping outside the arena, that person was almost silent.The first few participating soldiers had already climbed over the obstacle wall neatly.Wu Liuyi stood up, shaking a little, he began to run faster, climbed over the obstacle wall, and then fell heavily to the ground again.Wu Liuyi rushed to the shooting position at the end and fired there.

Xu Sanduo outside the court was a little worried for him. The publicity vehicle announced the results of "Group Army Military Decathlon Competition, 400-meter Obstacle Crossing, first place, K Division A Regiment, Huang Yaohui; second place, T Division D Regiment, Liu Honghai..." Xu Sanduo heard, Wu Liuyi Didn't get first place. Xu Sanduo worriedly walked past the soldiers who were still cheering and cheering, and walked towards the resting place built by several tents beside the arena.At this time, he heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, it was Company Commander Gao Cheng.

"Company Commander," Xu Sanduo saluted, but changed his words when he saw Gao Chengdai's two bars and one star, "I'm sorry, Deputy Battalion Commander." Gao Cheng: "Okay, can you and I be more comfortable?" He knocked on Xu Sanduo's military rank with complicated emotions, "Comrade non-commissioned officer." "Yes, Captain." "I always look for your names on the division's local area network. Liuyi and Xiaoning have appeared many times, but you seem to be invisible, and you only appeared once." "I didn't do anything."

"Just once, the pacesetter of the health company. I really admire you, the top scouts changed to the pacesetter of hygiene... One person cleared a company and even snatched a pacesetter." "One person knows what's in his heart, but if there are too many of them, they will do nothing." Gao Cheng sighed, his heart is stable now, but his sadness is still there. Gao Cheng: "You didn't participate either." Xu Sanduo: "I'm the only one who can't compete in the seventh company. I'm here to help Liu Xiaoning and their cheerleaders." Gao Cheng: "Speaking of June 1st, why are you so desperate for June 1st?"

Xu Sanduo: "He is not in a good state today." Gao Cheng: "It's not good to take a step back first. You tell him that this is just military entertainment, and there is no need to risk your life." Xu Sanduo smiled embarrassingly: "I said it, but he said bah." Gao Cheng smiled wryly, just as he saw Wu Liuyi approaching in a lonely way, still limping slightly, he was absent-minded and didn't see Gao Cheng at all: "Xu Sanduo, how many firsts did we get?" Gao Cheng couldn't help it anymore: "Wu Liuyi! You're playing with your life like this, what are you playing in war?"

"Company commander!" Wu Liuyi sneered, "You are a freshly baked major, you want to kill us!" "Don't interrupt. Your skills are originally weak, and your ranking depends entirely on your physical strength, but how many times can you fight like this?" Wu Liuyi: "Company commander, give Ji Yilian a few rankings as a meeting gift." Gao Cheng was still dissatisfied: "It's just a meeting ceremony, it's not working hard!" Wu Liuyi hesitated for a moment, and whispered what was in his heart: "Company Commander, the brothers of the Seventh Company are top-notch in each company, and it is not easy to be a top-notch."

Gao Cheng was dumbfounded for a while, and took out a bottle of safflower oil from his bag and stuffed it to Xu Sanduo: "Find a place for him to rub it! I wanted to use it for the soldiers of my battalion, but I never thought it would be a disaster for you!" On Wu Liuyi's back, there were bruises and bruises, almost all of which were scars.Xu Sanduo stared blankly for a while, then silently massaged him.For a moment, the tent was filled with the smell of safflower oil. Wu Liuyi laughed at himself: "Xu Sanduo, a twenty-four-year-old thinks he's a bit old, isn't it a bit ridiculous?" Xu Sanduo: "It's not ridiculous, I also feel a bit old."

Wu Liuyi suddenly looked at him, this time neither joking nor disdainful, he was serious: "You are already a veteran." Without waiting for Xu Sanduo to say anything, he muttered again: "Old guy. If you don't work hard, you won't be able to stay." Then he opened the tent, sucked in the air outside, and went out. Xu Sanduo stood in the tent in a daze.As soon as the tent was lifted, Wu Liuyi poked his head in again: "Let's go! The guy from Qilian gritted his teeth, what can't be done?" Xu Sanduo lifted his spirits: "I'll help you!" He got up and chased Wu Liuyi out.

The two turned around and came to the arena. Under the dazzling sunlight, one pawn knocked down the other and poked in the arena.Wu Liuyi was wearing Sanda attire, and Xu Sanduo was helping. Wu Liuyi stared at the soldier on the field, and said to Xu Sanduo, "Help me, give me two punches." Xu Sanduo was stunned: "What?" Wu Liuyi stared at him with wide eyes: "Give me two punches!" Xu Sanduo lightly punched him, Wu Liuyi was dissatisfied: "Are you sweeping the floor?" With a heavy blow, Wu Liuyi regained his spirit: "Come again!" Xu Sanduo punched several times, Wu Liuyi pushed him away and rushed into the arena.Wu Liuyi fought the soldier on the field, and after a few rounds, the opponent kicked Wu Liuyi in the waist.Wu Liuyi swayed, caught the opponent's leg with a volley, and smashed down with his body.After a brief stalemate, the opponent finally slapped the ground to admit defeat.Wu Liuyi stood up unsteadily, waiting for the next opponent.Xu Sanduo didn't want to look any more, and walked away from the crowd.

He finds out that there is another person walking away, and it is Gooseong. Gao Cheng sat down by the side of the field, plucked a blade of grass and chewed it in his mouth, Xu Sanduo sat down softly beside him.Gao Cheng said, "I really miss you." Xu Sanduo nodded. "Don't work hard, don't be like that kid." Xu Sanduo nodded again. Gao Cheng suddenly sighed with emotion: "I really miss the happy times when I was young and frivolous with you." Xu Sanduo didn't nod, he was at a loss. When the seven consecutive days broke up, everyone always had a psychological comfort. This was for the benefit of the group and for the needs of the army.But that day, Liuyi was fighting for his life on the field, and the company commander was beside him feeling sad. I suddenly understood that it was everyone who was asked to bear the hardships.

Wu Liuyi walked over, and seeing the smile on his face, he knew that he must have won the first place in the total score.The words of congratulations have not yet been said.The broadcast first came from the publicity vehicle: "Commanders, fellow comrades, the military department has decided to temporarily add a performance event, please a few comrades from the XXXX army to do the event just now." "What is XXXX?" Xu Sanduo asked. "XXXX means not to let you know!" Wu Liuyi said. The officers and soldiers on the field turned their heads to the field in unison. An off-road vehicle rushed out from the rough and uneven track, the door swayed slightly, and several figures jumped into the grass from the side facing away from the audience, and then the car stopped.Wu Liuyi looked puzzled: "Where is the driver?" Gao Cheng stared carefully: "I've already got off the car. When the car just rushed out, they had already completed their ambush." Before he finished his words, several bursts of fire rang out in the grass, and several targets at least 600 meters away from the sound of the gun exploded.The four figures jumped out from the grass, not necessarily urgently, but their speed and posture felt overwhelming, which was quite different from Wu Liuyi and the others. While running, someone fired again, and the target at the other end exploded.Wu Liuyi was puzzled: "Why did you shoot at the starting line? Isn't this a violation?" "Of course it is a violation! But how many people can hit at this distance? Or shoot while walking!" Gao Cheng exclaimed. The surrounding soldiers were all stunned, but Xu Sanduo was delighted to see it.Wu Liuyi watched a man straddle the place where he fell, and actually shot in the air, knocking out a target. "They're not competing at all!" Wu Liuyi sighed with incomparable emotion. "They are fighting." Xu Sanduo said. "Yes, they didn't regard this as a competition field at all. In their eyes, this place is full of wars and dangers. Look at their guns, they are always in the waiting position, and they are ready to shoot even when jumping; the action is always reserved. Be prepared to deal with emergencies with strength; formation, take care of all directions. When we run, we hold the gun in our hand as a baton, and whoever makes a fool of himself will kill you. Compared with them, we are simply a gymnastics team." Gao Cheng said more and more vigorously up.Seeing the four climb over the obstacle wall, the two first supported the two, and the two stood guard on the wall, killing a few targets, and then the two climbed over again, and at the same time a few targets were blown up, at this time Two people landed on the wall. Xu Sanduo had been staring at one of the figures, and when that figure was climbing over the obstacle net, he was actually shot by the golden bell, and the surrounding applause suddenly boiled over.Gan Xiaoning murmured: "That's all, I would believe that he killed someone." The few people were still sprinting and crawling, the muzzles of the guns continued to emit flames, the movement range was small but the accuracy was great, and they hadn't reached the end yet, and there were not many targets left to shoot.When those people were about to break through the finish line, a row of floating targets appeared from all directions. Four people stood up, two rolled over, and all the surrounding targets had been destroyed. The applause has almost overturned the arena. Wu Liuyi suddenly felt a little frustrated: "I suddenly feel that our two-day comparison has no meaning at all." Gan Xiaoning agreed in his heart, but refused to admit defeat: "Speed, accuracy, and endurance, they may not be as good as you, Wu Liuyi." But Wu Liuyi didn't appreciate it: "Yes. But we were all shot in this posture. They're at war at all, aren't they, Captain?" Gao Cheng was a little dazed, he looked at the four people in the distance patronizingly, the four people didn't seem to intend to express their gratitude to the applause, they were standing at the finish line waiting for something. " Xu Sanduo also watched, but he only looked at one of them.Then a car came and the four got in and went straight away. Xu Sanduo: "That person seems to be..." Gao Cheng came to his senses immediately: "Do you know? Who is it? You have to learn from him." But Xu Sanduo immediately denied it again: "Definitely not." Gao Cheng had no choice but to give him a sideways glance, and continued to think about things.The people on the field were dispersing, and these people were a little bit lost, but they got separated at last. Wu Liuyi: "Does the company commander want to find a place to chat for a while?" Gao Cheng was a little embarrassed: "Huh?...No. I'm going to find someone to ask for the video just now, I can use it there." He said and left.Those few froze there. Gan Xiaoning smiled: "Hey, if you want to be watched by the company commander again, you have to enter his reconnaissance battalion." At this time, Gaocheng, who had walked about ten meters away, thought of his old men coming down again, and waved his hand from a distance. Then trotted away, several people looked at each other. Gan Xiaoning said, "Go back to our 1st and 4th companies." He patted Xu Sanduo, "Let's go back to the glorious Gang Qilian." The participating soldiers were sent back by military vehicles, and the company commander of Jiyi Company had been waiting at the gate of the compound for a long time, and first dragged Wu Liuyi down: "What number?" Wu Liuyi didn't say anything, he just looked disappointed.The company commander hurriedly said, it's all right, there are many talented people in the whole army.At this moment, Xu Sanduo in the car laughed.He told the company commander: "First." The company commander clasped Wu Liuyi with one hand, and was so angry that he grabbed the company: "Clean it up!" Wu Liuyi was lifted up and embraced one by one.Xu Sanduo waved his hand, and returned to his Qilian alone, with a peaceful expression, but envious.Wu Liuyi was happy while waving goodbye to Xu Sanduo.Xu Sanduo smiled and walked back to his company, that one's company. Xu Sanduo took out the key and was about to open the door when suddenly, someone strangled his neck from behind. Xu Sanduo hooked one foot of the person behind him with his foot and sat down violently.The man hurried away, and Xu Sanduo also pulled off the light rope in the dim twilight. A soldier whose uniform is completely different from his, in his thirties, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, is old A's Yuan Lang. Xu Sanduo was extremely pleasantly surprised.Yuan Lang has an aura similar to Shi Jin's, which makes it easy for him to relax, and when he is ready to be lonely, he meets an acquaintance. He is very pleasantly surprised: "I saw you on the field! I thought it was impossible! ... How do you Are you here?" Yuan Lang: "Come to see a friend in 353, and I haven't returned after half an hour. Wearing this dress is always being stared at, so I have to cat in the aisle of your company." Xu Sanduo: "Who is it? I'll help you find it." Yuan Lang pointed at him. Xu Sanduo was stunned, and then was speechless for a long time. "Hey, what's your expression?" Yuan Lang looked at him and smiled. Xu Sanduo was a little uncomfortable: "No, very few people come to see me." Yuan Lang stopped joking and patted him on the shoulder: "Open the door, treat me to a cup of tea." Xu Sanduo was opening the door but was stunned: "Huh?...I'm going to buy tea." Yuan Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Open the door, please let me drink boiled water." Xu Sanduo brought Yuan Lang a cup of boiling water.Yuan Lang was looking at this bare dormitory very interestingly, as if there was much content in it: "I know about your adaptation, we knew it when we knew each other." Xu Sanduo was silent for a while: "Well, you said that many people and things will leave me. They have all left, now." Yuan Lang: "Is it okay to stay like this?" Xu Sanduo: "It's okay." Yuan Lang: "You always give people such ambiguous answers?" Xu Sanduo smiled: "I just got used to it. Before... it was very bad. Now it's... neither high nor low, good or bad... I can't tell, just do what I should do." Yuan Lang: "I'm here this time...how should I say it? It's like your recruitment. Your soldiers are recruited from the local area, and our soldiers are recruited from the soldiers. After reading your resume and hearing people talking about you, I really want to Look at you, the last time I saw a big kid who didn't recognize reality, this time I saw... to borrow your words, a soldier who is neither high nor low, neither good nor bad." Yuan Lang looked at Xu Sanduo with a very peaceful tone. "At least he's a soldier." Xu Sanduo was not too interested. "A soldier who is very at ease, not anxious. Many of us are anxious all the time, afraid of not getting it, afraid of losing it. I like people who are not anxious." Yuan Lang seems not surprised. Xu Sanduo: "I still don't understand what you mean by recruiting troops." Yuan Lang: "You'll understand in a few days. Now... just treat it as a home visit. What else do recruits do besides home visits?" He deliberately thought slowly, which made Xu Sanduo a little anxious: "Medical examination. Check the hardware of the servicemen. Whether it is qualified." Yuan Lang: "Well, there will be an order for you to have a physical examination in a few days, and I'm the one who will do the examination." He smiled maliciously, which made Xu Sanduo even more confused: "Medical examination? Of course it won't be a real physical examination." Yuan Lang: "No, I can only tell you that the difficulty is very high. If you say more, you will violate the rules." Xu Sanduo had no choice but to keep silent. Yuan Lang: "Let me ask you, if you pass, are you willing to leave here and go to a completely unfamiliar place? Don't be in a daze, soldier, we will not force important people, and my subordinates are all people who really love this industry." Xu Sanduo: "I don't know." He looked around, the empty house he had guarded for half a year. Yuan Lang also looked at it: "There are some things here that have entered your heart. Are you afraid that they will disappear in other environments?" Xu Sanduo nodded after a while.Yuan Lang: "Gui Geng?" Xu Sanduo: "Twenty-two." Yuan Lang: "Isn't it the age to wait for a lifetime? Twenty-two should be running and jumping. In terms of pursuit, it's just two words, fresh." Xu Sanduo: "I... I'm actually afraid... I'm a stupid person at heart, every time I change the environment, it's like dying... Really." "Understood," Yuan Lang looked around again, "You live here alone, are you afraid of... ghosts?" Xu Sanduo was overjoyed, and Yuan Lang even showed his teeth and claws.Xu Sanduo sternly said: "There is no such thing in the world." Yuan Lang: "It's weird. Isn't this ghost and the thing you are afraid of all the things you want to scare yourself?" Xu Sanduo was stupid there, and Yuan Lang found himself put his hat on his head: "I'm leaving, Xu Sanduo." Xu Sanduo: "Huh? ... Goodbye." Yuan Lang: "The orders from the Houtian Division will be issued to everyone. In fact, they are invitations, not orders, so you can refuse to participate. But if it is me, I must try. I am only 30 years old, and I am still looking forward to a brighter future." experience life." Xu Sanduo accompanied him to the door and didn't send him any further. He looked at the man's back. A company's company flags and award flags were hung on the wall of the company headquarters. The company commander looked at the company flags and turned his head sadly. Wu Liu sat upright, and the instructor looked at the document in his hand again. It was the division order that Yuan Lang said.They have been talking for a long time, and they have nothing to talk about. The first company commander said: "The pool of the first company is too small? Can't accommodate a big fish like you? Once the deadline is up, you will be a second-level non-commissioned officer. What kind of special forces do you have to go to?" Wu Liuyi: "Instructor, being a soldier is very hard." The instructor froze for a moment. Wu Liuyi continued: "If you just want to be a non-commissioned officer, you don't need to work so hard." The instructor said: "I understand, it's not about emotions, it's about ambition." The first company commander: "Okay, you have great ambitions. I will see how you will come back if you were not selected." Wu Liuyi: "Just come back like this, what did you do before, what will you do in the future. Company commander, soldiers don't have many choices. If there is a soldier who wants to go further on this road, please respect his choice." The company commander stared at him for a long time, and finally waved his hand out, and he gave up. Seems like all the soldiers are talking about old A.Gan Xiaoning and Ma Xiaoshuai were sitting in the car and talking.Gan Xiaoning saw no one was outside, closed the chariot door, looked at Ma Xiaoshuai, "Are you going?" Ma Xiaoshuai said, "I'm still muttering." The two men compared the same division order, which they received separately. They compared each word carefully, as if they could guess the unknown future in this way. Gan Xiaoning said: "You didn't come to confront the special forces last time, and you didn't go to the Military Ten Events a few days ago... When you see them, you think of fighting. These are the only words I can describe old A." Ma Xiaoshuai was puzzled: "What do you mean?" Gan Xiaoning looked at him happily: "Xiaoshuai, every day the chariots are on fire every day, have you never thought about what we will be like when we are actually fighting? The artillery fire is overwhelming, the missiles are flying across the sky, and we hit... I treat you as a friend —Would you like to go?" Ma Xiaoshuai was a little embarrassed: "I'm inferior. You call me a high-achieving student, but you actually mean that I am inferior in military skills in hand-to-hand combat." Gan Xiaoning said: "I'm even worse. The last time I fought against me, I was armed to the teeth, and I was arrested by old A with a silent pistol. So I want to go there even more. They are pure, you go?" Ma Xiaoshuai nodded solemnly and thoughtfully. Class five on the wasteland was as desolate and empty as ever.Several soldiers stood in the open space outside the door until a tractor came and stopped them.Apart from Xue Lin, Class 5 has no familiar faces.Xue Lin smoked at the door, took the last puff, stepped the cigarette butt into the semi-deserted ground, and entered the house.Cheng Cai fastened his backpack, then stared blankly at the dormitory beside him.Then he took the last cigarette in his mouth, crumpled the pack, and threw it right into the wastebasket on the other side of the room.There were already several of the same cigarette packs in the wastebasket. Xue Lin glanced out the window and said, "Squad leader, the car is here." Cheng Cai said sullenly, "I packed it up." Xue Lin helped him pick up his luggage: "Then let's go." Both sides were somewhat routine and indifferent. Chengcai said: "You have been watching the class for the past few days. I left something interesting for the brothers in the drawer, and I will share it with everyone later." Xue Lin was not too enthusiastic: "Yes." After going out, Chengcai climbed onto the tractor, put down his bag, and breathed a long and happy breath towards the grassland.The soldiers stood under the car, although invisible, they also formed a formation: "Goodbye, squad leader! Squad leader, let's go." As the car moved, several figures from Class 5 were thrown away. This was a routine farewell. Chengcai's eyes were full of longing, but when he looked at the broken ground of the fifth class, he lost his expression.He held a piece of paper in his hand, an order from the division headquarters.That's not necessary, but pinching it to success is like pinching the guarantee of the future. Almost at the same time as Chengcai left, Xu Sanduo finished cleaning the dormitory and put the broom back to its original place.Lying down quietly, looking at the order that I just got today for the hundredth time, I always think the most when I am quiet. Yuan Lang's persuasion work was in vain.When I got the order, I was only thinking about two things. Will someone from Laoqi Company go?If we go, can we be together?I kept thinking of the lights being blown. Loneliness is not terrible, loneliness only makes people strongly desire crowds. It was not clear.A few old A's stood still and guarded their temporary camp. There were no poles or slogans around them, only military vehicles and tents covered with camouflage nets, plain and cold. The railway was driving, bringing the group leader Wang Qingrui.Military vehicles from all directions also came one by one.In the car, there are participating soldiers one by one.There was only the sound of the wind, and the world seemed very still.Under the unending moonlight, none of the assembled soldiers could see who they were. The tarpaulin was opened, and soldiers from each unit jumped off one by one.Railway and Wang Qingrui were the highest ranks present, but they purposely stayed far away so as not to cause any interference. Yuan Lang came out of one of the tents, and saluted the infantry in the clearing in a hasty way. An armored regiment officer's subconscious command: "Stand at attention! Salute!" caused all the soldiers to respond in a very formal manner.Yuan Lang smiled: "Relax, it will take a lot of energy to go down. We are guests, and guests must be treated well, so we have prepared for you a two-day itinerary within a diameter of 100 kilometers, with standard loads and weapons within the range provided. Optional, optional food... Well, the second choice is just a field ration like breakfast." He noticed that the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and he was happy: "It's really easy, isn't it? It's just a survival in the wild. I have stewed hares with wild vegetables. I have also eaten local stewed hares. I am afraid that the ones made by myself are more delicious." .” The soldiers just laughed, and when they were laughing happily, Yuan Lang's smile disappeared: "I haven't finished yet. ——Finally asked to go deep into the enemy's main position to complete the map work, that is what you must give me when you reach the destination It is recommended to act in groups, because there will be a reinforced battalion of troops chasing and intercepting you on the way. I heard that you are very strong, and I also want to see how strong you are. It is now 6 o'clock, and by 6 o'clock the day after tomorrow, I will be at the destination Waiting for you. Forewarning, I am driving, there are three empty seats in the car, and I will take the first three people who arrive-now please keep the destination reference in mind.” The people below have long since lost their laugh lines. Anyone with a little concept knows that this is more difficult than any time in their experience.A few experienced people even took out a pen and paper to write down the latitude and longitude. Yuan Lang saw it: "Put away the pen and paper. Within sixty hours from now, I will be your enemy. The enemy will never tell you the latitude and longitude. Remember the reference point. To the southeast, there is a sea bubble on the edge of the grassland. There is a mountain, there is a oak forest over the mountain, I will wait for you at the edge of the forest, if you don’t understand, you can ask.” Ma Xiaoshuai: "Report, will you distribute positioning equipment?" Yuan Lang: "There is no GPS, and everyone has a compass." Everyone's faces became more ugly, but no one asked any more questions. Yuan Lang went on to say: "After receiving the equipment, you will be sent to the war zone. Be careful, entering the war zone is equal to entering the battlefield—disband." Soldiers quietly walked towards several equipment trucks.Yuan Lang walked towards the railway and Wang Qingrui: "Report, I'm going to the war zone first." Wang Qingrui watched Yuan Lang walk away, and looked at the railway with resentment: "This is not harsh enough. You can tie them up, shoot them with machine guns, and take away those who survived." The railway took him into the army: "Did I overestimate your soldiers?" Wang Qingrui: "No." Railway: "Then why do you underestimate them?" Wang Qingrui stared at the railway and walked away. A field ration was buckled into the hands of passing soldiers, followed by a flare gun in the other hand.The so-called field ration is a pitiful little thing in vacuum packaging: a piece of chocolate, a piece of compressed biscuit, pickles, raisins, and a small bag of glucose water. It only meets the needs of calories, salt, sugar, and water for one morning. The officer repeatedly and indifferently urged: "If you can't hold on to the signal flare, remember, it's tantamount to abstaining." Wu Liuyi took it, Gan Xiaoning took it, Xu Sanduo took it.One by one, vests with smoke devices were put on, and heavy field backpacks were carried on the shoulders of the soldiers.Wu Liuyi and the others were all dressed up, Gan Xiaoning looked at the bag of rations in his hand and complained: "I'm hungry now, we all came on an empty stomach." Wu Liuyi: "Then eat it, if you can think about it enough." Gan Xiaoning's posture really wanted to eat, Xu Sanduo grabbed it and stuffed it back into his backpack, Gan Xiaoning could only smile wryly. Ma Xiaoshuai squeezed into the circle of three people and watched them laughingly: "Guys from the old seventh company, join forces?" Wu Liuyi: "Need to say?" Gan Xiaoning: "Don't give up, don't give up." Xu Sanduo nodded seriously, and then saw a person outside the circle: "Come on!" Cheng Cai stood still, thin and deep, looking at him with no expression, but stretched out a hand.Xu Sanduo hugged him impulsively, Chengcai responded somewhat passively, he seemed to communicate less with people than Xu Sanduo. Xu Sanduo: "Let's act together, okay?" Cheng Cai looked at those people, and their reactions could be called cold.So Chengcai didn't say yes or no, and went to the weapon loading vehicle.The soldiers were choosing their own weapons here. Chengcai first set his sights on a sniper rifle, and he stretched out his hand to touch it. The soldier who fired the gun couldn't help it: "It's inconvenient to carry that on the long march." Cheng Cai didn't hear it, and put his cheek on the gun face affectionately. The car wobbled on the uneven road, and the curtains were pulled so tightly that the outside couldn't see the inside, and the inside couldn't see the outside.There are people who know each other in the car, and some people who don't, but the members of the old Qilian are all in the same car.Holding the gun, sitting, not speaking.Xu Sanduo, Gan Xiaoning, and Ma Xiaoshuai are all assault rifles, Wuliuyi machine guns, and Chengcai sniper rifles.Cheng Cai has been adjusting the sights in silence, the others ignore him, but Xu Sanduo's attention is almost entirely on him. Chengcai looked at the indescribable joy in Xu Sanduo's eyes: "Isn't it sad to see Qilian's life, you are so happy about such a small thing." Xu Sanduo said: "It's not sad, but it's not a trivial matter." Gan Xiaoning: "No, I am willing to exchange ten rations for such a happy thing! What about you, Liuyi?" Wu Liuyi: "I just want to remind you not to cheat anymore." Gan Xiaoning hurriedly put a piece of chocolate into his mouth, then smiled smugly.They are happy, but growth is completely excluded.Qilian is gone, and it is even more difficult for them to let go of those who owed Qilian—although it is not called a debt. Xu Sanduo had no choice but to take care of Chengcai alone: ​​"Come with us, Chengcai, the last time we confronted you was the one who killed the most old A." Chengcai didn't speak, just looked at those few, and those few didn't express their views.Xu Sanduo had no choice but to interrupt: "Is it okay to be in Class Five?" "Don't say that." "I don't want to waste my time talking about that place, what do you mean?" "what do you mean?" "Speak up." "Let's go together." "Well, I'm with you, he's finally calibrated his gun—I'll be of use to you." The members of the Old Seventh Company fell silent, they were not used to this kind of talk of weighing gains and losses.Wu Liuyi broke the dullness: "Thank you for your kindness in joining us." The car had already driven into the wilderness, and in the cab of the leader's car, an officer used a locator to find the position.He waved to the car behind.At this time, the people in the car were a little numb from the shaking of the car.A voice from the cab immediately tensed up the numb nerves. "I'm about to enter the war zone, get ready for battle. Those who are hit by the laser beacon will be killed in battle, and immediately withdraw from the game..." The soldiers pulled the bolt to reload one after another.The young and tense faces looked dazed because they couldn't see the outside world. "Has entered the war zone, ready to get off." The car stopped. "Countdown, ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." The soldiers looked at each other nervously, and there had never been such an oppressive atmosphere in any exercise.Xu Sanduo patted Ma Xiaoshuai's helmet.Ma Xiaoshuai smiled.Wu Liuyi signaled everyone to make way, and he stood at the front with a machine gun in his hand. The tense voice continued: "...five, four, three, two, one! Get off!" The curtain of the car was pulled open with a bang, and the glare of the sun shone in, and the eyes of the few people in front were instantly dazzled.Outside are open grasslands and small hills. Wu Liuyi jumped out of the car first, rolled on the spot, and opened the gun mount under the cover of the car body.The members of the old seventh company naturally followed him and jumped off, on guard.Cheng Cai searched the surrounding hills in the scope. The wind blows across the grassland, and the surrounding area is surprisingly quiet.Several people looked at each other suspiciously.Soldiers jumped off several trucks one by one. Halfway through the jump, there was a sudden sharp gunshot, and one soldier smoked before he even hit the ground.The gunshots exploded immediately, coming from all directions, low and shocking, suppressing the soldiers' counterattack gunfire.Several soldiers beside the car, who were not standing still, smoked and lay down on the spot. Chengcai reported nervously: "Three o'clock...five o'clock, eight o'clock...six o'clock is also available!" Gan Xiaoning yelled: "No reaction time! Can't organize a counterattack!" Wu Liuyi: "It's all heavy firearms! Even if organized!" Gan Xiaoning: "It's all heavy firearms, we can't do it at all!" Xu Sanduo pointed to a dry river ditch in the distance: "Retreat first!" They rushed towards that dry river ditch, the well-trained shooters who aimed at them chased and shot down a few along the way, and several soldiers starting from Ma Xiaoshuai were blocked. They could only hide behind a small hill on the way. Xu Sanduo's group fell heavily into the dry river ditch, and a soldier beside Xu Sanduo was beaten to smoke before he jumped into the ditch, and was so angry that he dropped his helmet and yelled: "Which troop cooperated?" ? A senior brother beat him so hard?" Chengcai observed through the scope, and the attackers who were far out of the range of the rifles were finally discernible to the naked eye. They were a group of infantry carried by light armored vehicles and high-mobility off-road vehicles. It's not hard to recognize: "The division's armored reconnaissance battalion! The troops that have just been refitted! More than half of the division's top infantry are with them!" Gan Xiaoning was emotionally unacceptable: "The company commander?" Wu Liuyi sighed: "Run." Such a group of rout soldiers had no possibility of confrontation at all, and fled along the river ditch.Only the soldier who failed to enter the ditch was left lying on the edge of the river smoking. The trucks on the prairie drove away, revealing a few soldiers who had lost cover behind them. They could only run in the wilderness, being shot and chased one by one.The surrounding gradually became silent.The reconnaissance battalion searched in the wilderness, among them were old A's whose clothes were different from theirs. A high-speed off-road vehicle drove up, Gao Cheng sat on the passenger seat with a sullen face, and the machine gun behind the vehicle was controlled by Qi Huan from Old A.Gao Cheng glanced at the battlefield where there was no suspense at all, he was quite aggrieved. Gao Cheng picked up the intercom: "Hunter One... The ambush at point A10 has ended, and twenty-six people have been eliminated, nearly half of them." Yuan Lang's voice came from the intercom: "Organize the pursuit." Those trucks haven't left yet, and they can take away those soldiers who were eliminated just after getting off the trucks. A few people far away were unwilling to be pulled away like this, arguing and pushing: "Is there such a fight? Didn't get off?" The car starts to fight! It's like pulling into the encirclement and then fighting!" The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion ignored them: "It's not a confrontation! This is a test of the comprehensive ability of an individual soldier! If you don't make it through, you can't do it!" The soldiers were anxious: "You can do it!" Gao Cheng couldn't bear it: "Help someone get in the car! What kind of hands are you doing?" The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion stepped back and watched silently.The soldiers were finally discouraged and climbed into the car silently.Gao Cheng started his car, and he was heading in the pursuit direction. Deep in the grassland, Qi Huan, who had been left on the spot, waved at him. Gao Cheng didn't intend to stop, Qi Huan walked towards another car with a wry smile. Xu Sanduo and the others ran wildly in the dry river ditch. The morning sun was already very poisonous, and with the weight on their bodies, they were already sweating profusely.Suddenly, Xu Sanduo stopped.Gan Xiaoning also noticed at this moment: "Where's Ma Xiaoshuai?" Chengcai said, "I ran away, he went to the northeast." "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "Do you have time to talk?" Frustrated with fatigue and anxiety, the two stared at each other. Wu Liuyi shouted: "Okay, if you want to quarrel, you will be arrested and returned to the headquarters to quarrel." Several people then fell silent.Xu Sanduo looked at his group, there were seven people in total, Cheng Cai, Wu Liuyi, Gan Xiaoning, himself and three soldiers he didn't know.Wu Liuyi was also watching: "Seven people, from now on we can't lose one more person." That was impossible, because Yuan Lang made it very clear that he only needed three people. There are no roads on the grassland, only weeds more than a foot high, Gaocheng seems to want to vent his heart in the bumps.He suddenly noticed something, turned around, slammed on the brakes, and the car almost rolled into the grass.Gao Cheng jumped out of the car and strode towards the bushes just now: "Did you hide like this? You didn't make a sound when you saw the car rolling over!" A soldier who was extremely well camouflaged with blades of grass stood up from the grass.It was Ma Xiaoshuai.He was lying down in the grass that Gao Cheng would run over just now. "Company Commander, you said that the first point of camouflage is to hide, and you must not expose it if it is not discovered by the enemy!" "I am the deputy commander of the Armored Reconnaissance Battalion!" "The soldiers of the old seventh company call you the company commander!" Gao Cheng was stunned for a moment, sizing up the face covered in camouflage, "Ma Xiaoshuai?" Ma Xiaoshuai smiled: "I thought the company commander wouldn't remember me." "I will remember everything. You are the 5,000th soldier of the No. 7 Steel Company... and the last one." Gao Cheng hesitated, looked around, and said, "Listen to my orders and continue to hide." Ma Xiaoshuai subconsciously fell down in the grass again.Gao Cheng walked towards his car as if nothing had happened. As soon as he got to the side of the car, Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly called out from behind: "Company commander?...Company commander! Why don't you take me away?" Gao Cheng ignored him and waved his hand irritably!But Ma Xiaoshuai had already stood up and said, "You have already discovered me!" Gao Cheng: "It was a coincidence, a blind cat ran into a dead mouse, understand?" Ma Xiaoshuai said: "This is against the rules! Company commander!" "What are the rules? The entire armored reconnaissance battalion plus the whole team of old A's will sweep you a small group of defeated soldiers. There are no rules." Gao Cheng said, "It's not easy for the soldiers of the old seventh company to survive. Don't miss your chance just because of a coincidence." Get in the car and go. Ma Xiaoshuai called the company commander again from behind, but Gao Cheng had already started the car and drove away. "Company commander?! People in the Seventh Company don't do this kind of thing! Don't think that I can't grow the bones of the Seventh Company after only a few days in the company!" Ma Xiaoshuai said as he took off his helmet and fiddled with the laser beacon After a few clicks, a puff of smoke came out from above. Gao Cheng stopped the car suddenly.Ma Xiaoshuai put the helmet back on his head and stood upright.Gao Cheng had no choice but to back up the car.Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help crying at last, he was too young after all.Gao Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said to come back with me and be my soldier in the future. Yuan Lang was measuring the distance marked on the map in the base, and when he saw Qi Huan getting off the car, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment: "Aren't you with Deputy Battalion Commander Gao? Why did you go back?" Qi Huan smiled: "I was dumped. That guy is very arrogant, I can't stand me looking at him." "Then just go to the H7 position to set up an ambush, which is the only way to the destination." Yuan Lang was also happy. As soon as Qi Huan went out, Officer Zhang and Li Meng walked in. "Are you the person in charge of this competition?" Yuan Lang glanced at Officer Zhang and smiled. He said, "Where is there a competition? It's just a small group of people struggling to get out of their predicament. I'm the field commander, and I'm the one who creates difficulties for them. What's the matter with you?" "My surname is Zhang. I'm a reporter from the 353 Regiment newspaper, and also a special correspondent for the Military Daily. This is my assistant, Xiao Li. I'd like to ask you to talk about this competition." Yuan Lang: "I said that there is no competition. Well, let's call it a physical examination. Those who come are all the best infantry. Judging them by statistics is to underestimate them. Physical strength, intelligence, will, and experience, just looking at one item is too general. Really good pawns will find that balance, and we're also looking for that balance." "Well, your words are full of thought. The concept, meaning, and high technology you created this winning team?" Yuan Lang smiled: "Must win? That's nonsense. A battle that has not been fought is an unknown, and it is not a soldier who talks about victory in the unknown. Our soldiers are very cute and very persevering. Our current efforts are for the sake of being able to survive the war." Let them sacrifice less." Officer Zhang looked at Li Meng, and Li Meng looked at Officer Zhang, but they couldn't remember anything. Suddenly there was a noise and the sound of cars outside, Yuan Lang stood up with a smile: "The prisoner is back, I have to be scolded. You do your own thing." He left, leaving Director Zhang and Li Meng there in a daze. In the depths of the grassland, a high-speed motor vehicle was chasing two small figures running away.Those were two soldiers, but they were running separately. When the locomotive was closest to one of them, the two men were put down, and the car turned to the other one to chase after them.The wheels ran over a fledgling fire, and a freshly killed hare lay beside it.When a soldier was about to turn over the hill, he was beaten and smoked, and a soldier was brought back alive by the car. The soldier in the car said with a smirk: "Still grilling? You can see smoke coming from more than ten miles away." The soldier sat down on the ground resentfully. A bayonet penetrated deep into the soil, digging out the roots beneath the grass.This is behind a hill, where Xu Sanduo and seven people are hiding.Xu Sanduo handed the few shabby grass roots to the soldiers accompanying him: "This is the seven-star grass. It has an earthy smell but is still sweet. This is wild bracken, which can also be eaten." Gan Xiaoning rummaged through his ration bag, which was already empty: "Damn old man! Dead scout camp!" He tried to take a bite of wild vegetables, and kicked away the empty cans on the ground. 伍六一提醒他：“埋起来。暴露目标。”甘小宁只好又狠狠地掘地埋口粮袋：“我就权当我在埋设计这个恶作剧的混蛋。连火都生不了啊！我本来想有点野菜，一生火，烤野兔、煮沙鸡、烤蚂蚱……” 许三多说：“绝不能生火，这地形生火就跟明火执仗没区别。” 甘小宁埋怨：“背六十斤连奔带藏，被人追剿，给的那点吃够一小时热量吗？他看看手上的草根，这是食物吗？它是微生物啊！” 伍六一说：“我相信老A就是这样过来的，看眼神就知道。” 成才看看手上的几条草根，也有点泄气：“别挖了，这点草根确实还补不上挖的劲。”许三多说：“我给你们挖。” 成才问他：“你的口粮呢？我们刚才吃了，你没吃。” 许三多犹豫一下：“我吃了。” 成才微有些不屑：“你撒谎都上脸的。” 伍六一替他不平：“那是他那份。你不忿什么？” 成才：“我没不忿。我只是说在这个忍字上，他把我毙得服服帖帖。” 车声驶过，几人伏低，成才从瞄准镜里看着那辆车上神气活现的几个士兵。 成才羡慕地说：“到饭点了，他们准是回营吃饭。” 甘小宁说：“我想去突袭他们大营，大喝一声，缴饭盒不杀！” 伍六一冷笑：“你还是放信号枪弃权比较直接。” 许三多有点不安：“我觉得该趁现在赶紧走。” 甘小宁说：“走，拿什么走？你的腿还没软啊？兵哪，那是得有粮的！” “那也得走。”许三多说。 伍六一拄着枪站了起来，他说得对。成才也同意：“就这点空当，我们能赶在别人前边一大截了。要知道，只要三个，我们是有很多竞争对手的。” 其他人敏感地看他一眼。大家看了看指南针，辨别了一下方位，憋着一肚子心事，然后就走开了。 The grassland in front is endless.The night gradually fell.
