Since the advent of muskets, guns have become one of the necessary equipment for the armies of every country. Due to the implementation of gun control in China, ordinary people are not allowed to carry guns, and even in some forest areas, even hunting rifles legally held by hunters in the past have been confiscated. As a result, there are only three types of people who can legally own guns in China: the military, the police, and other groups of people who are allowed to own guns. As far as ordinary people are concerned, guns are a distant and unattainable existence.

But for the PLA soldiers, if they have not touched the gun, it is simply a bit too much to say. Due to the different division of labor, the artillery may not have touched the artillery, and the soldiers of the missile unit may not have seen the missile, but no matter what kind of unit it is, when the recruits are trained, they will definitely let you touch the gun a few times.

Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong are finally about to touch the gun.

When the squad leaders informed the soldiers of the imminent gun-fire of the recruits, the entire recruit company was boiling. Whether it is a general or an ordinary person, there is more or less a hero complex in their hearts. And this kind of hero complex is mostly firmly linked to things like guns. In an instant, the suffering of more than a month was left behind everyone, and the recruits' eyes lit up, looking forward to the scene of touching the gun for the first time.

The feeling of being about to touch a gun is very exciting, but it is still a must to watch every night on the news broadcast. I don't know when the news broadcast at seven o'clock every night has become a must-see repertoire in the army, and after so many years, this tradition has never changed.

Watching news broadcasts is based on the company, where the conditions are good, each company has its own separate club, and where the conditions are not good, the function of the club is basically concurrently served by the canteen. Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong's company is unfortunate, it belongs to the kind of conditions that are not good, and the TV is placed in the canteen.

More than 100 people, each sitting at the dinner table, whether it was the squad leader or the soldiers, all made a look of relishing and watched the news program on TV. Cheng Zhichao also seemed to be quite engaged, but a pair of eyes kept turning, and after looking for a long time, he finally found Zhao Jiyong in the crowd.

Zhao Jiyong was also looking for him in the crowd, and the moment the two of them looked at each other, they both showed knowing smiles. Two people have played since childhood, and many times, they can communicate many things with just one look. This time was no exception, and after the two eyebrows exchanged eyebrows, they quickly reached a consensus. As soon as a consensus was reached, Cheng Zhichao heard Gu Chuancheng whisper behind him: "Cheng Zhichao, what are you doing with your eyes rolling around?" ”

Cheng Zhichao was startled, and he didn't dare to reply: "Squad leader, are you so powerful?" Just one glance at the back of my head and you can see my eyes rolling around? ”

Gu Chuancheng sneered: "You are my soldiers, if I don't even know what the soldiers are doing, wouldn't my squad leader be in vain?" Don't talk, watch TV. ”

Cheng Zhichao responded, thinking: "His, I watch these things all day long, and I don't know what to see, and when Lao Tzu becomes the chairman of the Military Commission one day, the first thing is to cancel watching the news broadcast." ”

After thinking about it, I thought that I was not even a private now, and the vice chairman of the Military Commission was with the rank of general. The difference between the private and the general is not a little bit, the old man has worked for most of his life, and his current military rank is just a major general, and he doesn't have the ability of the old man, I'm afraid there is no hope of boiling the bar on his shoulder into a gold star, it seems that this news network has to be watched.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the lights out signal sounded on time, and the lights in each dormitory were extinguished one by one. After more than a month of recruit training, most of the recruits have basically reached the physical fitness standard, and they no longer need to eat every night, and after the lights are turned off, they can finally go to sleep without doing the 100 push-ups and sit-ups. The only thing that bothers me is that I always have to have an emergency assembly from time to time, which makes everyone really depressed.

However, it seems that the leaders are in a good mood tonight, and the possibility of an emergency assembly is not very large, and the recruits who have practiced for a day lie in bed and soon fall asleep. Cheng Zhichao estimated the time, quietly got up, got out of bed with his clothes on, put on his shoes and walked outside.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by Gu Chuancheng: "Why do you go if you don't sleep at night?" ”

"I'm X." Cheng Zhichao screamed in his heart, and suddenly found that Gu Chuancheng was different from any veteran he knew before, this guy was simply not a human, but an omnipresent god. No matter what small actions Cheng Zhichao wants to make, he will be caught by him as soon as possible. ,

It was pitch black inside, except for the dim glow of the street lamps outside. In the night, I only saw Gu Chuancheng's eyes shining, staring at Cheng Zhichao without blinking.

"Squad leader, urgency, go to the toilet. Are you going? ”

"Don't empty your stomach before going to bed, toss people in the middle of the night, go and come back quickly, tap when you open the door, don't wake up other people." Gu Chuancheng muttered a few words, turned over, and closed his eyes again.

Cheng Zhichao hurriedly opened the door lightly and ran to the toilet with a smoke.

The toilet is at the end of the hallway and the only room with the lights on. When Cheng Zhichao got into the toilet, Zhao Jiyong had been waiting there for a while, with an impatient face. Seeing Cheng Zhichao enter the door, he gave him a blank look: "Why did you come?" I've been waiting for nearly half an hour, and if I don't come, I can't afford to wait. ”

I almost couldn't get out. Our perverted squad leader's two eyes seem to have grown for me. Lao Tzu is a little troubled, and he must have been caught by him. ”

"That's okay, you can take it." Zhao Jiyong said, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and threw one to Cheng Zhichao: "Smoke a bag?" ”

Cheng Zhichao didn't expect him to be able to take out a cigarette from his pocket, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and threw the cigarette back to him: "How did you learn to smoke too?" ”

"I don't usually smoke, but I'm a little depressed in the past two days, so I bought a pack to relieve my boredom."

"What's the frustration method?"

"Depression is depression, how else can you be depressed?" Zhao Jiyong took a puff of cigarette and continued hatefully: "His group of Tangshan cubs, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will have to clean them up." ”

"Why did Tangshan Bing provoke you again?"

Zhao Jiyong spit on the ground: "No, you have to find a pit to squat, otherwise the picket will come after a while, and you will have to clean up when you see me smoking." I couldn't help but say, opened a small door and got in, smoking inside while saying: "There are two Tangshan cubs in our class, and I don't know what the origin is. His, what's so great? Aren't there just two stinky money? ”

Cheng Zhichao smiled. As soon as Zhao Jiyong said this, he understood, it was nothing more than that there were two Tangshan soldiers in their class with relatively good family conditions, and they might feel that they were wealthy, so sometimes they didn't pay much attention to the issue of unity, which caused Zhao Jiyong's displeasure. But this kind of thing can't be blamed on those two recruits, before they came to the army, those two people were probably the standard rich second generation, and they were used to being superior in society, and it was impossible to remove their strength in just over a month.

If it weren't for the strict management of the old men, I'm afraid that in the eyes of others, the two of them would be no different from those two Tangshan soldiers.

Zhao Jiyong heard his laughter, and the fire came up again: "Are you laughing at a fart?" Lao Tzu made those two boys so angry that they almost blew up their lungs, if you don't say that you don't sympathize with me, you're still gloating there. ”

"So what do you think I should do? Cleaning up those two boys with you? ”

Zhao Jiyong's eyes lit up: "I think this idea is okay, your brain is faster than mine, think of a way to gather them before the next company." Otherwise, I don't know which unit those two boys will be assigned to, and it won't be easy to find them. ”

Cheng Zhichao also knew that the unit they were in was relatively scattered, and the farthest distance between two companies of the same battalion could reach more than 300 kilometers. At the end of the recruit training, each recruit is reassigned to a new company. If you can get a company, it's better to say, but if you can't get a company, sometimes it's really not easy to meet.

But listening to Zhao Jiyong's tone, it is obvious that he wants to pull himself and others to fight. Cheng Zhichao is not afraid of what kind of impact the fight will have on him, he is worried about another thing: "How to clean up?" We are all grasshoppers on a rope, and those veterans are our common enemies. If it were those veterans, I would have been able to do it like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. But those two are rookies like us, in case they really break someone's mind, aren't they a little sorry for their parents? ”

"." Zhao Jiyong responded to his tirade with one word, "In short, Lao Tzu can't bear it anymore, I want to discuss this matter with you in the past two days, but I haven't found a chance." Honestly, are you going to help me or not? If you don't help me, I'll do it on my own. ”

"Aren't you afraid that your old man will know?" ,

"Big brother, is your brain in water? The old man is in the Northeast Military Region, we are the Southwest Military Region, there are thousands of kilometers apart, and it is not a military region, do you think the old man is really that capable? Can you monitor us thousands of kilometers away? ”

Originally, Cheng Zhichao said to Gu Chuancheng that going to the toilet was just an excuse, and after talking to him for a while, he was so frozen in the toilet, and suddenly felt really anxious, and hurriedly opened the door of the squatting position next to Zhao Jiyong and got in, and said to Zhao Jiyong: "In fact, people just have a little money, so they are arrogant, and it may not be aimed at you, you don't have to be so nervous." If you want me to say, calm down, observe for a while, and see how it goes. If after a while, those two boys are still like bears, it's not too late for us to clean them up. ”

"You're saying that, you don't know what kind of life I've had in our class. Sometimes I wonder if our old man was born. Since he grabbed me from the bed and put me in the car that day, he didn't care about me, and he made a lot of effort to call home and wanted some money to make up for it, but the old man directly told me the two words 'no'. He really thought that with that little allowance, we would be able to survive for a month? ”

"Why can't you survive a month? There is nothing to use for money other than buying some soap and toothpaste. I still have more than 10 yuan left in the allowance, do you need it? If you use it, I'll give it to you tomorrow. ”

Zhao Jiyong looked at Cheng Zhichao dumbfounded for a long time, and finally lowered his voice: "Thank you, you are really a kind person." ”

"You're welcome, the two of us are brothers, one side is in trouble, and all sides will support." Cheng Zhichao laughed twice and put on his pants.

"Since we're brothers, can you do me a favor?"

"You said, as long as I don't have to PK with those two Tangshan boys now, I will definitely help if I can help."

"Can you go outside and find a crooked neck tree right now and hang yourself up? To be honest, I'm very unhappy with you right now. Zhao Jiyong's eyes were eager to shoot two poisonous nails and poison Cheng Zhichao to death. At the end, he raised his voice and shouted: "You can last a month for dozens of months, but Lao Tzu can't hold on." After finishing speaking, he slammed the door in hatred, leaving a sentence: "Anyway, those two boys, I beat them." I'll put up with it for a few days, and if they are still like that bear in two days, I'll ...... him."

Cheng Zhichao chased after him: "Hey, you'd better do your part these days, I heard that you made your class chickens and dogs jump?" ”

Zhao Jiyong waved his hand with a big sting: "It's not so exaggerated, don't worry, we are the tigers of the gate, I know it in my heart." ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Thursday, December 26, cloudy.

The sky began to be cloudy two days ago, and Cheng Zhichao always thought that it was going to rain again, but after two days of cloudiness, the rain still didn't fall. Winter in the south is like this, if it rains on a cloudy day, the weather will be cool for a few days, and if it doesn't rain, the temperature will not be warm. In such a gloomy weather, Jiangmen Huzi and ordinary local youths finally got their own guys in this southwestern mountainous area.

The unit they belonged to was not the main force, and the equipment they received could not be very good, and the Type 95 rifles that the whole army had already begun to install were not yet their turn, and what was sent to Cheng Zhichao and others was a batch of 81 bars with white grinding bodies.

Although the gun is not a new gun, nor is it a ninety-five, it is also a great stimulus for the recruits. When the guns were fired, there was no big ceremony, just a group of recruits gathered together, and first the captain who loved to speak gave a speech that sounded quite impassioned, and then it was actually brought back by each class.

The gun was issued to Cheng Zhichao in the dormitory.

Compared with other recruits, when Cheng Zhichao took his gun from Gu Chuancheng's hand, the expression on his face was very calm, but a sense of intimacy arose in his heart. The moment his palm touched the cold body of the gun, the heavy feeling that came from him made him feel like a soldier at that moment.

He and Zhao Jiyong have been playing Bayi Bar since they were children, and they are very familiar with this kind of gun. put the gun to his lips and kissed it, walked to Gu Chuancheng's table, unloaded the magazine, checked the chamber, skillfully disassembled the gun, looked at it carefully, and reloaded it. ,

When he did these things, Gu Chuancheng looked at him with a smile and did not stop him, but Xu Dashan and the other recruits who joined the army with him were dumbfounded. For Xu Dashan and them, the gun is a mysterious and abnormal object, and they are careful to hold it in their hands, for fear of missing it. But Cheng Zhichao, this guy, actually disassembled the gun in such a short period of time and then assembled it, which is simply god-like.

After Cheng Zhichao finished assembling the gun, he hugged it in his arms, kissed it again, and muttered: "You are mine, I finally have a gun of my own." ”

If someone asks him how he is feeling now, his answer is only three words: "very excited". In fact, he was really excited, when Lao Jiang trained him and Zhao Jiyong in the past, he used the guns of the guard company, although the guns were well maintained, they did not belong to Cheng Zhichao and Zhao Jiyong, and they had to be returned after the incident. Only this gun, although it looks a little older than the gun that Lao Jiang brought, it belongs to him, and it feels different.

After he was done, Gu Chuancheng slapped his slap lightly twice: "The action is quite sharp, have you dismantled it before?" ”

"Demolished."

"Judging by your methods, you should have dismantled it more than once, right?"

"Isn't that nonsense? If it is only demolished once or twice, can Lao Tzu have such a good method? Cheng Zhichao scolded a few words: "There used to be an old immortal in our courtyard who taught me a few times. I'm far from the difference, squad leader, do you show us two hands? ”

Gu Chuancheng glanced at him: "You are going to take me into an army." ”

"How dare I, you are a veteran and my squad leader, even if I dare to command the company commander's army, I don't dare to put your army."

Gu Chuancheng ignored him and slapped his slap twice: "Forget it, everyone is very excited today, so I won't disturb everyone's interest." But what needs to be said still has to be said. ”

According to convention, when Gu Chuancheng said this, it meant that it was time for a small meeting. Xu Dashan hurriedly pulled the chair over and waited for Gu Da squad leader to sit down, and then all the soldiers in the class closed their mouths, hugged their guns and listened to the class leader's high talk.

After Gu Chuancheng sighed, he said: "If you have a gun, it means that your previous stage of training has been recognized by your superiors, which is a good thing." But don't be too complacent, the hard times have just begun. What I want to say is that your previous training is just the first step in the long march, and the next training will be even more difficult, there is only one reason, Cheng Zhichao, tell me, what is the reason? ”

"Shall I tell me?" Cheng Zhichao's eyes widened and pointed to his nose.

"Well, you say.".
