Chapter 338 The Soldier Squad Leader Who Urges Sorrow

When he returned to the company, the sun had already set a little bit on the distant mountain peak, red like a big orange, casting a golden afterglow on the surrounding mountains and forests, and several clouds hanging high in the sky were also dyed red. In the distance, a plane that didn't know where slowly flew over, shining against the sun, and there was a long tail smoke behind it, which was just a thin one at the beginning, and after a few minutes, it gradually spread into a thick one, which was illuminated by the setting sun, and the clouds on the horizon showed a faint red halo.

The sky was no longer as bright as when the sun had not set, it gradually darkened, the temperature also dropped, and the birds that lived in the woods around the barracks began to fly back in groups, but Xu Dashan did not come back.

When Cheng Zhichao and the others returned to the company, not only did Xu Dashan not come back, but even Gu Chuancheng and others did not come back, and the other groups of people came back several batches one after another, including most of the people who went straight to the county seat, but there was no news at all.

Inside the regimental headquarters, the face of the regimental seat had been dark for a day, and the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts, and after being poured out, it didn't take long for it to be filled with cigarette butts again. There were four or five people sitting in the regiment commander's office, each of whom was smoking cigarettes in their hands, and the result of hōu smoke was that the entire office was full of smoke, and if there was so much smoke in a high-end hotel in a big city, the fire alarm would have been alarmed a long time ago.

As soon as he came back, before he could sit down and catch his breath, Cheng Zhichao was called to the company headquarters, and the scout who brought them back went to a higher place than him, and was directly called to the regiment headquarters.

After learning the news that there were deserters in the company, Guo Peng and Lin Haitao's scalps were bursting with explosions, and they immediately reported to the top, and were scolded by the regiment commander. Anyway, the distance between his company headquarters and the regimental headquarters was not far, and if you wanted to scold him, it was very convenient to send a messenger to call him.

was scolded several times in a row, until the sun was about to set, the head of the regiment had no interest in scolding him, and Guo Peng and Lin Haitao were able to survive. When Cheng Zhichao arrived at the company headquarters, the two brothers were sitting face-to-face in the office with big eyes.

It wasn't until the company correspondent pinched his throat and whispered a few words in a suppressed voice that Guo Peng and Lin Haitao were startled: "What's the matter?" ”

"Cheng Zhichao's group is also back."

"Huh? They're back too? What about Gu Chuancheng? Let him come and see me. ”

"It was said that squad leader Gu found a clue to Xu Dashan, and chased him to the county seat with the two comrades of the reconnaissance company, and Cheng Zhichao came back by himself."

"What? Found the clue of Xu Dashan? Guo Peng was surprised and delighted, "What about Cheng Zhichao?" Call him to me. ”

"Cheng Zhichao is outside now." The correspondent was quite obedient, and after finishing speaking, he immediately escaped from the company headquarters and stuffed Cheng Zhichao in.

Sent so many people and horses, carried out a whole day of dragnet search, and walked all over the nearby three towns and five villages, and the county also sent so many people to search, but they didn't even see a single figure, and the regiment commander's resistance had reached the extreme, and of course, his small company commander was immediately in dire straits. In this case, Gu Chuancheng and the others found Xu Dashan's clue, which was tantamount to a lighthouse in the dark, and Guo Peng's eyes immediately lit up.

But to his disappointment, although Cheng Zhichao and the others found Xu Dashan's clues, they did not bring back good news, and the flame of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again, Guo Peng's eyes immediately dimmed, and he waved his hand weakly: "You have been running all day, and you are also very tired, go back and rest." ”

Cheng Zhichao let out a "hmm", sighed secretly, silently turned around and walked out of the company and returned to the dormitory. As soon as I entered the house, I saw the luggage that Xu Dashan had left behind, and I suddenly felt irritated in my heart, grabbed Xu Dashan's quilt, rolled it into a ball, and threw it directly outside, and then lay down on the huán, and pulled over the head of the quilt.

The other comrades-in-arms were stunned by his actions, originally after getting up in the morning, if it wasn't for the normal lunch break, it was absolutely not allowed to lie on the huán to rest during the day, even if the day was over, when they returned to the dormitory, it was not time to turn off the lights, and everyone could only sit honestly on the matza and be busy. Cheng Zhichao's move is undoubtedly a big rebellion, but everyone in the class knows that his fists are hard, and now that the squad leader is not there, who dares to care about him? ,

After sending Cheng Zhichao, Guo Peng and Lin Haitao were not idle, the two of them checked it and decided that Lin Haitao would be in charge of the company, and Guo Peng went straight to the regiment headquarters to report the situation to the regiment commander. By the time he arrived at the regiment headquarters, the scout had already explained the situation clearly, and even everyone who had accepted a few sweet potatoes from Xiu'er's mother honestly confessed, and the people in the room were silent for a while after hearing it.

No one thought that an originally inconspicuous soldier would have such a great ability to escape from the heavily guarded training group, and he successfully escaped. In the past, the training regiment had not failed to desert, but they were all caught and dealt with one by one, and Xu Dashan was the first to successfully escape, which can be regarded as unprecedented.

Seeing Guo Peng enter the house, the regiment commander did not scold him this time, he didn't even look at him, he just kept tapping his fingers on the table, and after a while, he said to the political commissar: "It seems that the person can't be found, call the armed forces department over there to their house, let them pay attention, if the person goes home, let them send the person back immediately." ”

The commissar sighed, nodded, and did not speak. The matter has come to this point, according to the procedure, it is indeed time to do this, but this also means that there is no way out for Xu Dashan to escape, and after being sent back by the local armed forces, what awaits him will be severely punished.

The power of punishment is within the scope of the power of the training group, and there is no need to notify the brigade organs, and after dinner time, after Gu Chuancheng's group of people also returned, how to punish Xu Dashan was put on the agenda, and everyone came to a result - expulsion from the army.

If it is another mistake, the leader of the unit may be open, but for a deserter, there is absolutely no room for negotiation. Any army will regard honor as higher than the sky, and everyone hates deserters, and it is already a noble hand if they are not directly dragged out and killed.

At the same time, the training regiment launched a vigorous rectification campaign, mainly starting from the ideological aspects of the fighters, with patriotic education as the mainstay, and integrating such popular forms as songs and sketches, and the scene was quite noisy. At the same time, the troops were again suspended from training.

Within a month, the training was suspended twice in a row, and for the first time in the history of the training regiment, the shock was so widespread that it had already moved to heaven, and even the group army took it seriously. A deputy director of the political department of the group army personally came down to inspect it, and after receiving this order, the training regiment was busy again and prepared for several days, which can be regarded as welcoming the deputy director of the political department.

After the deputy director came, he walked around, listened to the report of the regiment commander and political commissar, and put forward some guiding opinions on the work of the training regiment. At this point, several main leaders of the training regiment breathed a sigh of relief.

As a matter of fact, the reason why the group army attaches importance to this matter is entirely because the training regiment has suspended training twice, but after coming, it found that every time the training was suspended, it was not because there was a serious accident, but because there was a problem with the soldiers' thinking. Under such circumstances, the suspension of training and vigorous efforts in ideological construction can be regarded as making up for the dead, and it is impossible for the organization to be dissatisfied.

After wiping off the sweat of his brain and sending away the ministers who came down from above, the news also came from the armed forces department on Xu Dashan's side, Xu Dashan really fled home, and now he has been charged by the armed forces, and the deputy minister of the armed forces department in the region personally brought people to send him over. There was a deserter, and the face of the armed forces department was not bright, especially since the provincial capital was the seat of the high-level authority of the Northeast Military Region, which could be described as a feudal official. Under the noses of the high-level organs of power in the Northeast Military Region, a deserter was sent to the troops, and if it was spread out, it would not be a small-scale incident, and it might alarm the heads and minds of the Northeast Military Region at any time, so it was necessary to deal with this matter in a short period of time.

Anyway, it's good that the person has been found, and after the regiment leader received the news, his mind that had been hanging for several days was completely put down. The political commissar personally came forward, and made an in-depth communication with the comrades of the armed forces department on the phone, inquired about the situation in detail, and asked the other party to send Xu Dashan back to the army for processing.

Xu Dashan joined the army, and his household registration was moved to the army, and he no longer had any contact with the local political department, and he was still a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army before the army dealt with him. ,

Although the work of the Ministry of Armed Forces is directly linked to the troops, it is, after all, a civil service agency under the local government, and it only assists the troops in its obligations, but does not have the power to deal with deserters. If there is a deserter, the armed forces can only cooperate with the local public security department to find the deserter and bring it to the army for processing.

Doing so, it sounds like a lot of fart, but the responsibilities are clear, and the only one who suffers is Xu Dashan, who fled back to his hometown after thousands of miles, but had to toss again.

The news of finding Xu Dashan quickly spread throughout the troops. When the soldiers who were affected by it copied the order, they all gritted their teeth and wanted to break it into pieces, but when they heard the news that the person had been caught, they were all at a loss.

Speaking from the heart, when the training was hard, Xu Dashan was not the only one who had the idea of escaping, but he was the only one who really put his ideas into action, these soldiers were all ten years old, and their social experience was not rich, so they didn't know whether to despise him as a deserter or applaud his brave behavior.

At the same time as the news of catching Xu Dashan, there was also the news that the title was about to be awarded. The two messages are woven together, and everyone's heart is a collection of feelings. Conferring the title means that he is a real soldier who is theoretically on an equal footing with those bullish veterans. After a few months of training, the training work of this training can be described as remarkable, but it turned out of Xu Dashan's case, leaving a disgraceful stain on this white bib.

Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong didn't know what it was like in their hearts, just when the lights out horn sounded and the troops fell into a deep sleep again, these two squatted in the toilet, but they kept smoking.

Cheng Zhichao didn't smoke at first, but after Xu Dashan's news came, the thorn in his heart was too great, and he couldn't help but reach out to Zhao Jiyong and ask for a cigarette. I don't know how to hōu, I just follow Zhao Jiyong's example of sipping the filter one by one, and then spraying out the smoke that pours into my mouth.

Zhao Jiyong's cigarette was learned, and he inhaled the smoke into his lungs, and then took a long breath, and a faint smoke rushed out of his nostrils and mouth. Since enlisting in the army, because the two people are not in the same class, this toilet has become an excellent place for the two to have a small black meeting, and the last time they studied and beat Tangshan soldiers was decided in this toilet. But this time, the two cats came here to smoke hōu, but it was not who they were going to hit, but they were depressed.

The entire military company, their relationship with Xu Dashan is good, but they know the outcome of Xu Dashan after being sent to the army, but they can't do anything, this kind of depressed feeling is really not human, if you don't find someone to confide in, you have to suffocate to death.

A cigarette was already empty, Zhao Jiyong took out another stick from the cigarette case and lit it, and after taking a puff, he said, "You say, after Xu Dashan is sent back, what will the group do with him?" ”

"Do you need to ask?" Cheng Zhichao smiled bitterly, "It's not that you haven't been in the army, all over the country, there is only one way for any army to deal with deserters." ”

Zhao Jiyong was silent, and after a while, he said: "Actually, Xu Dashan is not bad, although Su zhì is a little worse, but he can't be blamed, God gave him such a bad physique, who can blame him?" If you want me to say, if you want to blame the doctors who let him pass the military inspection, you said that such a bad person, you can see it at a glance, but you still have to send him here, now it's okay, something happened, Xu Dashan is in a catastrophe, but they are safe and sound, it's really unfair. ”

"What's the matter? Xu Dashan's father is the village head, and he is also a remarkable figure in the village. The village chief's son wants to be a soldier, even if there is only one place, can others compete for him? ”

"......" Zhao Jiyong took two more puffs of cigarettes, sighed, and said, "Have you heard of it?" ”

"What?"

"Lao Gu is going to be unlucky."

Gu Chuancheng is going to be unlucky, Cheng Zhichao really hasn't heard of it, after listening to Zhao Jiyong's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, "What kind of bad luck is he?" ”

"Originally, Lao Gu was punished for fighting, but now there is another deserter in your class, who is unlucky if he is not unlucky?"

"Can't you? Lao Gu is our company commander's baby bump, even if he is punished on his back, and there are deserters in the squad, it is impossible for the company commander to watch him unlucky. ”

"I also listened to what others said, just yesterday, the company commander and the instructor had already talked to Lao Gu, it seems that the company commander can't keep Lao Gu, this guy is going to be unlucky, it's already a sure thing." ,

Cheng Zhichao's heart was cold, and he asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Listening to a novel in our class, he had a hot fight with the company's correspondent."

"You tell me how unlucky Lao Gu is."

It is said that the company commander and the instructor originally planned to wait for Lao Gu's contract to expire and leave him in the army and sign another level, but after the people from the group army left, the people from the brigade headquarters stayed, studied with the regiment, and decided to let Lao Gu leave the army early. Lao Gu said that there was no problem, but there was only one request, that is, to let him finish this group of soldiers. ”

", Lao Gu is going to be discharged from the army early?" Cheng Zhichao fought a cold war, and was so stabbed by this news that he was so sullen that he almost couldn't fall in one breath. At the same time, his heart suddenly became sour, and that feeling was exactly the same as when he was sent to the train by the master and separated from Fang Xiaochen in the station.

In fact, for more than two months, Cheng Zhichao's relationship with Gu Chuancheng has been very tense on the surface, but he has always respected this veteran in his heart, and always feels that a soldier like Gu Chuancheng can be regarded as a real soldier, calm in his high profile, and strong in his low profile. And although Gu Chuancheng doesn't smile all day long, he is very good to every soldier in the squad, even if a soldier like Xu Dashan dragged the whole squad back, he didn't see him beat and scold and take corporal punishment like other squad leaders, a squad leader who is strong everywhere can do this, which is already good.

What moved him was that after he came out of the number, Gu Chuancheng just punished him for a few days, comparing his heart to his heart, Cheng Zhichao asked himself if he couldn't do Gu Chuancheng. If the soldier under his command made such a large plane, I am afraid that after the soldier came out of the number, he would not only have to punish him, but also have to give him a few more days, and then throw him into a small dark room set up by himself for a few days of reflection.

Such a good old squad leader, because of his own sake, carried a punishment, which made Cheng Zhichao very unhappy. So after the fight incident, the relationship between him and Gu Chuancheng also improved a lot. Now when he heard that Gu Chuancheng was facing the situation of being discharged from the army and returning home because of Xu Dashan's escape, he couldn't help but feel that Gu Chuancheng was not worth it.

But he is just a soldier, and when he hears this news, he is just worthless for Gu Chuancheng, what can he do? The only thing he could do was to wait for Xu Dashan to be sent back, grab him by the collar, and ask him why he did this.

Zhao Jiyong also felt that Gu Chuancheng was not worth it, sighed, and said: "To be honest, Lao Gu is a good person, if he really has to retire from the army because of such a thing, it will be a loss for himself or the army." ”

"What's the solution? If we are at home, we can still ask the master to help, here, the two of us are difficult to protect ourselves. ”

"Or, let's write a joint letter, mobilize the whole company, write a joint letter to the JĀ brigade headquarters, and ask the brigade leaders to reconsider the handling of Lao Gu."
