"Stand upright, look to the right, look forward, and take a break." The sturdy squad leader was majestic and murderous in front of the queue: "Say a word." ”

Hearing the squad leader's words, the twelve recruits brushed their feet back and stood in an upright position. Except for Wushan, the recruits in this class are all authentic rural soldiers, and most of them are uneducated.

The basic posture of these privates has been practiced since the first day of enlistment, and it has been more than ten days, and the effect is not very obvious. When the squad leader said a word just now, only two or three people put their feet in an upright position, and the rest were either too big or too small. Thinking that the squad leader was not paying attention, they all quietly looked left and right, and secretly moved their right foot forward or backward to the standard position.

Wushan opened the knot in his heart and no longer paid attention to Yanhuang's affairs. He secretly sent someone to take Old Man Xu to Yanhuang No. 1 Hospital, and gathered the best doctors to do a full body examination. Zhang Yingxue personally presided over it, and finally reported to Wushan that the old man looked healthy on the surface, and there were many internal problems, but there was no serious illness. Long-term conditioning is required, quitting smoking and alcohol, and eating vegetables and liquid food. In this way, the old man needs to come and check once a month.

I don't know what's going on in Lu Dao, Wushan has always had an inexplicable good impression of General Xu, who was born as a monk, and the old man also reciprocated Wushan. When Wushan relayed the doctor's words to the old man, it was considered his old life. He said angrily: "Lao Tzu likes to eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl all his life, I don't do it!" ”

"Huh?" Old Mrs. Xu, Lan Mingtian, glared at him fiercely: "What do you want to do, die?" ”

Mrs. Xu is uneducated and very petite. But just such a sentence, the old general who has never been afraid of heaven and earth is wilted. He habitually took out the military kettle in his pocket and was snatched away by the old lady: "Xiaoshan is all for your good, do you still want to drink?" ”

Huh? The old man is a strict wife. Wu Shan added fuel to the fire: "Aunt Lan, you have to pay close attention to my Uncle Xu's affairs." After speaking, he made a grimace at the old man, and General Xu was amused: "Ha Lu Ha Ha Lao Tzu quit. The old woman is relieved now. ”

Next, Old Man Xu stayed at Wushan's house for a few more days.

In those days, the two of them were locked up in the study in Wushan and talked a lot.

And what was said, outsiders still don't know.

General Xu later made a lot of limelight and became the brightest general among Chinese generals. One day in the nineties, the great man named the chairman of the Military Commission and sighed to Xu Shiyou: "Monk, your merits cannot be promoted." ”

Old Man Xu just smiled innocently: "I am just stained with the light of the Bashu people." ”

The great man's face showed a different color: "It has something to do with Xiaoshan again?" ”

The old man was silent, and the great man didn't ask any more questions.

Returning from Hong Kong Island, General Xu Lao recruited troops alone in the name of the Huacheng Military Region, which was also the only time in the history of the Republic. This conscription is different from the past, all of them are rural soldiers, and they are rural soldiers living in the hills and forests.

This unit was formed into a separate army, that is, the Mountain Brigade of the Huacheng Military Region, and later became the famous jungle tiger in the world.

The prestige of this force was made during the peacekeeping period in Africa, and the troops of various countries were overwhelmed by the local tribes, and China transferred a battalion of the mountain brigade to wipe out the invaders of various tribes in the cradle, and took advantage of the victory to pursue and disarm all the rebellious tribes.

Wushan was personally sent to the troops by Jing Dalin, a guard of General Xu Shiyou, and when he arrived at the recruit company, the company commander Chen Yixiang was very disgusted. Because he himself is from the countryside, this group of recruits makes him feel very kind. suddenly inserted a city soldier, and it was natural that he felt uncomfortable, and directly stuffed him into three rows and three shifts.

The squad leader, Lu Genxiang, is a native of Qinling Province, and these recruits are mainly from eastern and western Guangdong provinces, and they don't even understand Mandarin, and they are even more inexplicable about the Qinling dialect that sounds southern and northern. That's why the class is so slow. However, whether it is the squad leader or the recruits, they have a good impression of Wushan, who seems to be the youngest soldier.

Wushan, who is almost fifteen years old, is almost sixteen years old according to the virtual age, and has reached nearly 1.75 meters. It seems a little taller in a group of adults, mainly because the adults here are not tall, and Wushan is the first to stand on the right.

"Take a break!" Squad Leader Lu was also helpless, and turned a blind eye: "Wushan is out of the ranks, you come to take the goose (most of the people in Qinling Province call me a goose) to train." He had a whim.

"Yes, squad leader!" Wu Shan strode forward, saluted a military salute, and turned to the right to face the recruits.

At this moment, the recruits were faintly chilling, and Wushan, who was usually always smiling, was sinking like water.

"What do we do?" Wu Shan began to speak: "We are glorious soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, and we will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future." I can't do it well in such a small standing position, do you still want to touch the gun? Hurry up, who doesn't want to be a soldier and get me home. ”

Wu Shan was not angry and arrogant: "Here, I want to praise Comrade Chen Xinhong, every day everyone goes back to the dormitory and falls asleep." Comrade Chen Xinhong is 16 years old this year, and just like us, he came out of the mountains. What's he doing? Every night, in the bathroom, I saw him practicing in the mirror. Chen Xinhong came out of the queue and gave them a demonstration. Stand upright, take a break, say a word, stand upright. Recruits, do you see? ”

Seeing that the soldiers did not answer, Wu Shan raised his voice again: "See? ”

"See." These recruits have emotions in their hearts, after all, they are all the same soldiers, why are you pointing fingers at them? But the situation is stronger than people, who makes Wushan all the standards.

"You haven't eaten, have you? See? ”

"See!"

"Okay, now we're going to help you one-on-one. I'll put my words here, if you can't practice these simple actions well, you are not allowed to eat, when will you practice well, and when will you disband! Chen Xinhong, you go and take Zhu Aliu. Ge Xiaobing, you take Ma Jianjun; Qi to the east, with Wang Da; Wu Xijun, with Zhang poor peasants; Song Zuqing, with Zhan Xiaojun; Hu Lidong, come out and practice with me. ”

All of a sudden, the three classes were all voices of "standing upright, taking a break, speaking a word, taking a break".

Hu Lidong was very nervous when he saw Wushan standing opposite. Standing face to face, he made mistakes several times, Wushan corrected again and again, practiced for about ten minutes, and still made mistakes. Wushan caught fire namelessly, kicked him over with a kick, and picked him up with another hand. The squad leader frowned as he watched from the side, but didn't say anything. Hu Lidong's body was trembling, seeing that the squad leader was indifferent, and his actions of preparing to resist died down. After tossing for more than half an hour, Hu Lidong finally became proficient.

Not far away, the two soldiers saw the training and skillful pace of the acting squad leader in Wushan, and the two of them glanced at each other and nodded. Later, when I saw Wu Shan kick another soldier to the ground and pick it up, I thought he was going to beat someone, but he continued to train. "Lao Chen, I want this soldier."

"Lao Xiang, you're not authentic. It is difficult to come up with a good seedling, and you want someone if you stretch your hands. ”

"Lao Chen, I'm in a hurry. I haven't picked half of the people in the reconnaissance company yet, okay, give me this person. ”

"He was sent by the chief guard." Chen Yixiang came slowly.

"You mean our deputy head of the regiment? Isn't he? He pointed to the sky, and Chen Yixiang nodded silently.

"No matter, it's hard to see such a good seedling." The commander of the reconnaissance company's backward Ming Company was anxious.

"Wushan!" Wushan saw two soldiers coming over, and Chen Yixiang, the company commander of the recruit company, was calling him.

"Here!" Wu Shan responded and ran over and stood up in front of them and saluted a military salute.

"Young man, from a military family?" Backward Ming patted Wushan on the shoulder.

"Report, no!" With the company commander, it must be the officer with the commander, Wu Shan doesn't know the military position, but the report is correct.

"Wushan, do you want to go to the reconnaissance company?" Xiang Houming tempted: "Give you a squad leader." Next to him, Chen Yixiang glanced at him.

"Report, think!" Wu Shan's heart became excited, the reconnaissance unit is the elite of the field army, and the idiot will not go.

"I saw that your kick was very disciplined just now, have you practiced?" Xiang Houming asked.

"I've practiced indiscriminately, Uncle Xu taught me." Wushan was embarrassed to scratch his head, and the beating action was discovered!

"Uncle Xu?" The two men asked in unison.

"Yes, Uncle Xu Shiyou. However, here I am an ordinary soldier! "Wushan is neither arrogant nor humble.

got Wushan's enlistment information, which shocked Xiang Houming again. Nima, who is less than sixteen years old, is so wicked.

The camp of the reconnaissance company, in the mountains ten kilometers away.

Through Wushan's understanding, the squad leader of the reconnaissance company is a recruit alone. I was also secretly proud in my heart, my brother was a reborn person, and who didn't have military training when he was in college. I learned boxing from General Xu again, and I can't excel among the recruits, so it's better to buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

The quality of the recruits in the reconnaissance company is much better than that of the ordinary company. This time, Wushan is a platoon and two shifts, and the platoon leader is a fellow villager and a native of Bashu, but on the side next to Tibet, he is called Wang Xuegui. The company commander was from Xiangjiang and sent Wushan directly to the first platoon. The camps of the second and third rows were not together. is different from the first platoon, there is actually a deputy platoon commander in the platoon, a Ganzhou man named Ou Xuhong, with a gloomy face all day long, as if someone else borrowed rice and returned the barnyard seeds.

The other two squad leaders are in the platoon leader's office. There are two desks in the room, and the other is presumably the deputy platoon leader.

The platoon commander and the deputy platoon commander were discussing something outside the house, and Wushan enthusiastically stretched out to the strong young man next to him: "Hello comrade, Wushan, the second squad leader, is from Bashu." ”

"Oh, hello." The other party hurriedly stretched out his hands: "Li Yuanjun, the leader of the first squad, is from the Han River." The other one was a little cold, and only stretched out his right hand: "The third squad leader, Zhu Jianquan." "Both men look like veterans.

At this time, the platoon commander blew the whistle and shouted: "Assemble!" ”

He was the first to walk to the playground, followed by four people in a line. Wu Shan walked in the middle, always feeling that he was still far from their accumulated queue of steps, so he could only straighten his body and follow Li Yuanjun's footsteps towards the playground step by step.

Three lines of people stood there straight. Li Yuanjun, the leader of the first squad, didn't seem to be doing this kind of thing for the first time, and walked to the front of the queue: "It's all here, listen to my command." Stand upright, look to the right, look forward, and take a break. He also gave a military salute to the platoon commander: "Comrade platoon commander, there should be forty-five people in three squads, but there are forty-five people, please instruct." ”

I go, three more people than a squad in the ordinary army?

"One thing," he said, seeing that the soldiers had all retracted their upright postures, "take a break." Comrade Hao Sijun, the second squad leader, suffered a thigh fracture, and the company sent us a new squad leader, Comrade Wushan. Now, disbanded, three squads were trained separately in military postures. ”

The team of the other two classes pulled to the side, and Wu Shan walked to the front of the queue: "Stand upright, look to the right, look forward, and take a break." ”

Wu Shan gradually felt that he had the momentum of being a squad leader, although he was only temporarily trained by the ducks on the shelf: "Now," this is the tradition of the troops, when the superior is speaking, the subordinate immediately makes a posture of uprightness. "After a short pause, we began to take a military stance. The essentials of standing in a military posture are: the head should be straight, the neck should be straight, the eyes should be level with the front, the chest should be straight, the abdomen should be straight, the hands should hang naturally on both sides, and the middle fingers of both hands should be aligned with the seam of the trousers. ”

Kindness? Wushan found that there was a disdainful look in the queue: "You, yes, it's you, out of the queue." Wushan walked around him, and the soldier was very nervous: "What's your name?" ”

"Ou Xujiang!"

"Didn't anyone tell you to report when you spoke to your superiors?"

"Report, my name is Ou Xujiang!"

"Get in the queue!" Ou Xujiang walked back to the queue standardly.

"I'm a new recruit just like everyone else. My name is Wushan, I am 16 years old this year, and I am from Bashu. I know that there may be people who come to be the squad leader who disagree with me. In the troops, strength speaks. We are scouts, and when we go to the battlefield, we will inevitably fight the enemy. Now, I'm here, whoever comes to knock me down will be the squad leader, and I'll be a soldier. ”

Wu Shan said, taking off his coat and the white vest inside, revealing a body of tendon meat: "Who will come first?" ”

There were two or three people who were eager to try, and Wushan had to order himself: "Ou Xujiang, you come first." Ou Xujiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and rushed over with a scream.

Nima, who doesn't know anything, is probably someone from Deputy Platoon Commander Ou Xuhong, whose name is so similar. When he rushed in front of him, his fist slammed in.

Wushan leaned sideways, snapped a whip leg, and Ou Xujiang fell in response. Wu Shan controlled his strength, not hurt, but it must have hurt. His eyes widened on the ground, and he was visibly surprised.

"Get up, come again." Wushan saw him struggling to get up on the ground with both hands on the ground, so he grabbed it over, and one fell over the shoulder, and Ou Xujiang fell to the ground again.

The other soldiers stood there in silence, because in their eyes, Ou Xujiang was the fiercest person. In the distance, the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander stood there watching, and Ou Xuhong's face was about to drip water.

Including sixteen people in Wushan, divided into two bedrooms, Wushan lives in the bedroom with 3 written on the outside of the door.

The dormitory is very cramped, with two iron frame beds on one side, and the aisle in the middle can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

Wu Shan stood in a military posture with everyone all afternoon, and the sweat on his body soaked his clothes and pants. When I returned to the dormitory, I took out a change of clothes and pants, went to the bathroom to wash all of today's clothes, and took a cold shower.

Back in the dormitory, about to go to dinner with everyone, Ou Xujiang muttered with a strange face: "Squad leader, the deputy platoon leader has something to do with you." ”

"Oh?" Wushan looked at him suspiciously: "You bring the team to the cafeteria." ”

Walking to the office, Wu Shan shouted "report" in a loud voice, and a lazy "come in" came from inside. Sure enough, only Ou Xuhong, the deputy platoon commander, was in the office, and he had just finished washing his feet. He stared at Wushan playfully: "Do you know how to go, recruit Danzi, originally you didn't come because my cousin was going to be the squad leader." Now, enjoy yourself and pour out the water for your feet. ”

Wu Shan was very calm: "I'm sorry, deputy platoon commander, the army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, and I don't see the discipline of pouring foot washing water for my superiors." Nothing else, I'm going to have dinner. After Wu Shan finished speaking, he turned around and left

"Yo ho," Ou Xu laughed: "You MB tell me about discipline!" Lao Tzu let you know what discipline is. Before he finished speaking, he quickly put on his shoes and kicked his right foot over.

Wushan has not relaxed his vigilance, Yu Guang glanced at his feet, his left hand quickly pushed his foot up, a string of fronts, and his right foot kicked on his shoulder, making Ou Xuhong a dog gnawing mud.

With his right foot firmly on his back, Wu Shan pulled his ear and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "You may have a backstage, otherwise your cousin won't be able to come in this group of mountain soldiers." I also have it, and my backstage is Uncle Xu Shiyou. ”

After speaking, Shi Shiran left.
