Chapter 415: The Commander's Past

Zhang Jian can become the commander of the most important tank division of the 69th Army, and he is also the deputy commander, and his own qualifications are of course very hard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He said that he had a driving experience when he was a soldier, and it was probably a long, long time ago.

"What lake?" Looking at Deputy Commander Zhang, whose sideburns were slightly white, Chen Xu asked with curiosity on his face, what he thought of was not how the other party drove the car into the lake, but what kind of lake it was.

"Chang Tsu Lake!" Zhang Jian spit out a word with pride on his face, and deliberately straightened his collar when he spoke, this old man cares about his appearance very much, he is a person with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder and cleanliness, this calm veteran will always unconsciously raise his proud chin when talking about his previous experience.

Chen Xu knew that the 69th Army he formed was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but he didn't expect to bring out a veteran at random, who was actually a cattle man who had experienced the Korean War.

"You don't believe it, the director said, the truck driven by our division commander back then was a Type 94 military truck left after the defeat of the Japanese army, although that thing was in tatters, but in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country was poor and white, and such a broken truck was also an extremely important asset of the army. As a result, the division commander drove into the lake because of fatigue and unfamiliar roads, and when he fished it up again, it was no longer usable. was scolded by the commander of the car company at the time. Do you know how our division commander managed to get it! Tu Meng looked at the people outside and finally rescued the four crew members standing on top of the tank, and turned around and interjected.

As a member of the tank division, Tu Meng has a lot of knowledge about the mayor's past experience, and he talks more about it than the division commander himself.

"I don't need to talk about the past!" Zhang Jian waved his hand, don't talk about the past thing, but his eyes are full of encouragement.

"The division commander broke his truck, and he was not worthy of his name, and the enemy made it for us without guns or artillery, after the division commander was scolded by the company commander. That night, he quietly ran out and hid in a quagmire outside the US military position for two days. disappeared for so long, and at that time, the company commander thought that he was dead or captured by the enemy. As a result, on the third day, the division commander returned in an American-made Dodge truck loaded with Garand semi-automatic rifles, covered in stinky mud. When Tu Meng talked about the excitement, he was almost dancing, and it was obvious that this heroic deed of stealing a car from the enemy's house was very much in line with the taste of these soldiers.

"What happened then?" Chen Xu was also very surprised, he didn't expect that the old general next to him, who was usually neatly dressed and even had neatly combed his hair, would stay motionless in the mud for two days.

"The usual feces and urine of the American soldiers in that camp were thrown into that quagmire, and the division commander soaked in it for two days, naturally it was smelly, and after driving the car back, he was scolded by the car company commander, and then ordered him to take a shower, and finally to clean the truck cab, and then applied for a second-class merit. It's a pity that that the cart of rifles didn't have any ammunition to match, so it had to be transported back to the rear. From the driver's seat, Tu Meng continued to tell the heroic deeds of the division commander.

As a creep, being able to go deep into enemy camps and steal a cart of rifles is stupid but very brave.

"No wonder Master Zhang loves cleanliness so much, it turns out that there is such a reason! What about the company commander who scolded you? You are all division commanders, and that company commander should be in a high position now! Chen Xu looked at the clean and tidy Zhang Jian next to him, it was hard to imagine that this old man could endure the stench of the feces and urine pit back then, and buried himself in it for two days, just to steal a car.

However, the rifle loaded on the car will be issued to the American soldiers, and then the bullets will be injected into the bodies of the volunteers, so it can be said that although Zhang Jian only stole a car, he invisibly saved a lot of comrades.

"During the five battles, our convoy was discovered by the American B26, and many brothers in the convoy were killed after a bombing, and the company commander was also killed. The Americans' artillery fire was so intense that at night their shells streaked across the sky, so dense that the sky was rendered as day. Zhang Jian's expression was a little gloomy, he turned his head to look at the rain curtain outside the window, and his thoughts returned to the era when there was a lot of artillery fire.

Chen Xu didn't know much about this Zhang Jian, only knew that he was recommended by his grandfather Chen Hu, and after Chen Zhuo took over the 69th Army, it was the time to employ people, and he also believed that his father's vision asked Zhang Jian from Shenyang. Because Zhang Jian was originally the commander of the tank division, he continued to serve as the commander of the 69th Army Heavy Tank Division after being transferred, but the equipment was a shotgun and a gun, and he changed from the original commander of the 59th Tank Division to the latest third-generation M1 tank division commander.

Now an M1 tank battalion is estimated to be able to fight hard to defeat an old 59 tank division, and this gap in science and technology is definitely not something that can be made up by quantity. The M1 is able to fire before the enemy and fire shells outside the range, and the old 59 may have been completely wiped out without even touching the enemy's hair.

In the first Gulf War, all Iraq's tank units became targets of the US military, and in a war, all the Iraqi tanks were destroyed like targets, while the US tanks were unscathed.

Taking over such a strong tank division is naturally worthy of Zhang Jian, but Chen Zhuo is a person who can win people over, he knows that the transfer of the same level cannot win the hearts of the people, so he applied to the Military Commission, so that Zhang Jian also served as the deputy commander of the 69th Army, although the rank is still a major general, but the official position has been improved a lot, which is worthy of people.

Zhang Jian has become the commander of a division from a small soldier on the battlefield, which is already the limit, but he didn't expect that he could climb one level higher to become a deputy commander when he was old. If he can come back alive after the South Asian War, it is estimated that he can get a lieutenant general to retire, which is enough for this life.

Although Zhang Jian didn't say it on the surface, he was still very grateful to the Chen family for their support in his heart, which can be seen from his attitude towards Chen Xu. never took a shelf, nor did he rely on the old to sell the old, and taught Chen Xu a lot of principles of marching and fighting like an elder.

While speaking, Zhao Qilong suddenly appeared outside the window, and after knocking on the window to attract people's attention, he pointed to his soaked clothes and said loudly: "Director, you go first!" I'm waiting here for the engineering vehicles behind to pull the tanks out, and tomorrow I'll catch up with the troops. ”

Every tank in the battalion is Zhao Qilong's treasure, and now that one is soaked in water, of course, his heart is extremely painful, and he has to stay and personally command the engineering crane to pull the tank out, otherwise he will not be able to feel at ease all the way.

"Then let's go first, you pay attention to wearing a raincoat." Thinking that there were tens of thousands of military vehicles behind him, and he couldn't delay his efforts because of a tank, Chen Xu asked Tu Meng to continue driving and leading the tanks behind him to move forward. As for Zhao Qilong, it is estimated that he will not be able to catch up until tomorrow, and the tank is stuck in the pond and it will take several hours to pull it out, so it will have to be tossed.

The Rolls-Royce continued to advance, and the tanks behind followed suit, and the convoy returned to its normal marching state.

As if a miracle, when the convoy returned to the rotten dirt of the country, the rain in the sky stopped all of a sudden, and the heavy rain only occurred on the northern side of Vietnam, and not a drop of water leaked to the Chinese side.

The original dirty vehicle shell was washed clean by the heavy rain, and under the scorching winter sun, it shimmered with a metallic luster, dazzling and beautiful.

It's just that the muddy road is not easy to walk, there are potholes everywhere, people are sitting in the car and swaying left and right, even people who can sit in the car are a little dizzy, Chen Xu opened the window and vomited three times.

Returning home as a victorious division, the Military Commission, of course, could not chill the hearts of the soldiers and soldiers, and had already asked the local government to prepare everything. When the convoy entered the suburbs of Kuncheng, there were people on the roadside who were covered with red silk scarves and beating gongs and drums to welcome them, and all kinds of banners with bold words were hung along the way.

Although the soldiers knew in their hearts that this battle was fought very clearly, and it was not as the common people imagined that it was after hard fighting to completely annihilate the main force of Vietnam, but the common people were full of cheerful smiles on their faces, although such a welcome ceremony was required by the local government, but the ordinary people enthusiastically participated, with the greatest enthusiasm to welcome the soldiers back to the court.

When the soldiers saw such a lively scene, they naturally all trembled, especially the tank soldiers, who climbed out of the car and beckoned everyone to come and touch these huge kings of war. Some brave young people even climbed on the tank, and the soldiers did not drive them away, but only reminded everyone to pay attention to safety.

There were so many people around him that the tank driver had to lean out and slowly move the tank with a light step on the accelerator to prevent the tracks from pressing on people. Later, there were so many people around that if you weren't careful, you would be crushed by your feet, so you had to let two tank crews get off the station on both sides of the tracks to prevent accidents.

"When I was in Vietnam, those people were cold to us, and their attitude was as cold as they were. The people who returned to China greeted us with a smile, and sure enough, it was their own family that seemed close, and people abroad were unreliable, and it was right to drive those Vietnamese to the south! Chen Xu saw a group of girls scattering flower petals on his car again, and he also waved at each other happily, and at the same time, he became more and more identified with the immigration plan of North Vietnam.

Seeing a child holding a bouquet of wild flowers that he didn't know where to give to himself, Chen Xu hurriedly opened the car window, leaned out his upper body and took the bouquet into his hand, and at the same time took off his big cap and put it on the child's head as a thank you gift.

The child was wearing a military hat bigger than his head, and he staggered back to find his parents excitedly, and Chen Xu shouted behind him to slow down and don't fall.
