Chapter Three: Veteran Oil
Veteran Oil (1)
The next day, the sun rose again from the other side of the mountain, reflecting the tall watchtower. Li Wu walked on the path of the camp, slowly moving towards the cooking class in the morning glow, although the distance was not far, but the heavy backpack on his back still weighed him sweating profusely. In addition to military uniforms and toiletries, there are many books on command operations, among which Li Wu's favorite is "Command of Special Operations in the Jungle."
But at this time, Li Wu was not in the mood to think about these books he brought out when he graduated from the military academy. He was concentrating on what Wang Tao said to him when he was packing his things.
Wang Tao helped Li Wu fold the military uniform and put it in the army backpack, and at the same time, he seemed to be serious and jokingly said to Li Wu: "Wuzi, although your second row is under my control for the time being, don't be discouraged, you go to the cooking class, it may not be a good thing." ”
Li Wu threw his precious books into his backpack and said viciously: "Yes, it's a good thing, you can take two platoons directly now, I'll go to the cooking class to help cook, it's not a good thing." ”
Wang Tao, who has been a platoon commander for two years, listened to Li Wu's complaints, and was not angry, and continued: "Where are you doing this!" I mean, squad leader He of the cooking class has worked as a special forces soldier before, and the special operations skills in his head are much more useful than your broken book. Don't you want to learn special operations skills? ”
Li Wu became excited when he heard this, immediately put down the book in his hand, pulled Wang Tao with a surprised look and asked, "Really?" Veteran He has done special forces!? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Wang Tao smiled sinisterly: "I want to know, I won't say anything good." ”
Li Wu hurriedly took out a cigarette from the epaulette and handed it to Wang Tao, Wang Tao took the cigarette, looked at it, and put it in his pocket with a smile: "It seems that I can't say it's okay, it's all in China, hehe." Squad Leader He, that's a legend of our 3rd Company! He used to be in the combat squad of the 3rd Company, like shooting, fighting, and all kinds of qualities, and he performed particularly well in military exercises for one year, and directly led a squad to the command headquarters of the Blue Army. At that time, the instructor of the Blue Wolf Special Combat Team of the Military Region took a fancy to him at a glance, and directly poached him from the army to the Blue Wolf Special Combat Team.
It is said that Lao He was injured in a cross-border anti-drug mission and had to change jobs, but Lao He was unwilling to leave the army, and the company commander couldn't screw him, so he asked people back, arranged for a cooking class, and became a cooking squad leader. Seriously, I really wronged him............"
Li Wu lowered his head all the way while recalling Wang Tao's description of Lao He's squad leader, and imagined the scene of reporting to squad leader He later. Usually, Li Wu just likes to lock himself in the dormitory to read, and it has been more than a year since he was assigned to the 3rd Company, and he has never seen what the head of the cooking class He looks like.
He believes that squad leader He must be over 1.8 meters tall, his whole body is full of muscles trained by perennial training, and a pair of handsome broken sword eyebrows on his angular face, under the broken sword eyebrows, there are a pair of eyes that are set off by dark skin and more murderous, in short, it is the image of a typical professional soldier.
But when he arrived at the cooking class and saw the legendary squad leader He himself, Li Wu was stupid.
The legendary character of the 3rd Company———— squad leader He Kai, does not have the physique and handsome appearance that special forces often appear in TV series and novels. There is not even a national face, no broken sword eyebrows, and no murderous eyes.
Instead, he was 169 in size, and a simple, simple, swarthy round face, and loved to smile with his snow-white teeth at any time. When Li Wu arrived at the cooking class, squad leader He wore an apron around his waist, and the kitchen knife in his hand was beating quickly on the cutting board, quickly cutting the potatoes on the cutting board into fine silks, which was faster than a vegetable cutter!
Seeing Li Wu, who was carrying the lieutenant's epaulette and running to be his deputy on duty, walked into the kitchen, squad leader He raised his head and smiled honestly: "Second platoon leader, you will be my squad deputy in the future, go in and put things away, settle down and get familiar with the environment, and then you can start working!" Xiao Zhao, hurry up and help the second platoon leader get the bag! When he raised his head and spoke, even if he looked off the cutting board, he didn't see a slight pause in the fast-moving kitchen knife in Team Leader He's hand.
When he arrived at the dormitory of the cooking class, Li Wu put the books and military uniforms into the cabinet, although he was now demoted, he still seriously spread out his backpack, stacking the tofu blocks of "flat square, octagonal, flies fly up to slip, mosquitoes fly up and split", and there was still no slackening in the implementation of the internal affairs regulations. After folding the quilt in three or two, Li Wu walked quickly to the kitchen.
At the same time, in the company commander's office, the company commander was sitting at his desk, holding a cigarette in his hand, smoking silently. The instructor on the side looked at the documents on the desk and said coldly: "If Vasily dares to come again, we will let him and his bullshit group completely disappear from this world." ”
The company commander slowly stretched out the cigarette in his hand to the dark green ashtray on the table, shook the ash, and said: "The superiors have received information from our scouts lurking in the Vasily Group, and in the near future, Vasily will take action." We have to be ready for battle. ”
The instructor turned around and walked to the window, looked at the soldiers standing guard against the strong sunlight on the sentry tower not far away, and said, "Lao Zhao, what kind of retaliatory action do you think Vasily will take?" ”
The company commander slowly spit out the smoke in his mouth: "Increase the number of border patrols and the number of patrol soldiers, take immediate action whenever there is a situation, as long as his mercenary team dares to come, don't think about going back alive." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away" The instructor paused and asked, "What about Li Wu?" Really let him be the deputy of the cooking class? ”
The company commander stopped talking, just silently smoking the cigarette in his hand.

When he arrived at the kitchen, squad leader He still smiled honestly and assigned today's task to Li Wu: "The soldiers are about to come back from the training ground to eat the food we cooked, and today's dishes are not rich, just cabbage and radish soup, back to the pot meat, shredded potatoes, and fried vegetables." Li Wu, your task is to work with Xiao Zhao to get the potatoes and radishes, peel them, and divide them into five horses, understand? ”
Li Wu was amused by Squad Leader He, "Yes!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Squad Leader He patted Li Wu on the shoulder, and then continued to do his own thing. Li Wu tied his apron, and although he felt awkward, he still picked up the peeling tool and began to peel the potatoes.
Seeing that Li Wu worked hard for a long time, there were still only a handful of potatoes completed in front of him, and there should be more than two dozen potatoes in front of him, the cook Xiao Zhao smiled proudly. Li Wu became more and more irritable, threw the knife in his hand, and stopped. Raising his head in a tangled way, seeing that the tools in Xiao Zhao's hand and the ones he used just now were simply heaven and earth, Li Wu's eyes widened in surprise.
I saw Xiao Zhao holding a kitchen knife in one hand and a potato in the other, and with the cooperation of both hands, he went down with a few knives, and it took less than ten seconds to peel a potato.
Seeing Li Wu's surprised and dazed face, Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "The second platoon leader, taught by the squad leader, directly use a kitchen knife to sharpen faster, and it will be done to master the strength well, saving time." ”
Li Wu picked up a kitchen knife, and just as he wanted to try it, squad leader He came over and replaced the small potato in Li Wu's hand with a radish that was a little larger in comparison: "The second platoon leader wants to practice this trick?" The first step is to start with a radish that is larger and easier to handle, and then peel the potatoes. ”
Li Wu nodded and began to sharpen, but he couldn't reach the level of squad leader He and Xiao Zhao's four-knife solution, "Squad leader He, how did you think of this technique?" It's a technical job. ”
Squad Leader He looked at Li Wu with a smile, still cutting vegetables quickly in his hands: "I used to practice shooting and gun-building, especially when I practiced minelaying and demining, which required careful and skillful technical work, I used this method. It worked, but I didn't expect it to come in handy until now. And if you practice this vegetable chopping, your mother-in-law will definitely like you in the future! ”
Squad Leader He's family is in the countryside, and there is a custom in his hometown that before getting married, when the new son-in-law visits his mother-in-law's house for the first time, he has to go down to the kitchen to cook. Whether the food made by the new son-in-law is delicious or not, and the quality of the knife when cutting the vegetables, are all criteria for judging whether the new son-in-law is a good guy.
Li Wu was stunned when he heard this, he stopped asking questions, and began to peel his skin seriously, Li Wu thought to himself, no wonder Xiao Zhao, who rarely touches a gun, can always surpass some fighters in the combat squad in each shooting assessment, and it turns out that there is a master next to him.
After tiptoeing for a long time, it took more time than Xiao Zhao tossed, and he peeled potatoes and radishes that were much less than Xiao Zhao's peels, and Li Wu, who was ashamed of himself, walked behind Squad Leader He. Watching Squad Leader He cut thin slices quickly, without even looking,
"Squad Leader He, how did you practice this unique skill?" Li Wu asked curiously.
Squad Leader He continued to cut vegetables in his hands, looked at Li Wu's stunned expression, and said: "In fact, if you want to practice shooting, cutting vegetables is more effective than practicing with a gun all the time, which can train your heart, your hand, and self-confidence." When I was in the special combat team, our squadron leader trained our ............ by chopping vegetables."
Listening to Squad Leader He's engrossed talk about his previous experience, Li Wu picked up the kitchen knife on the side, clumsily learned the posture of Squad Leader He cutting vegetables, and also began to cut vegetables. Compared with Squad Leader He, he is really not half a little worse, and he has never thought of practicing tactical skills and skills from these aspects.
The crisp sound of lights out echoed in the barracks, the lights in the dormitory buildings went out one by one, and the soldiers who had been tired from a long day began to sleep for a new day of training after eight hours.
In the cafeteria, a dark figure quickly jumped in through the half-open window of the kitchen. After successfully getting the potatoes and turnips, the black shadow walked to the cutting board, picked up the kitchen knife, and began to chop vegetables.
Outside the window, squad leader He looked at Li Wu, who had reached the level of obsession with the art of chopping vegetables in the kitchen, shook his head with a smile, and walked in the direction of the dormitory.
At the same time, Li Wu, who sneaked into the kitchen to practice his skills, looked at the radishes and potatoes that had been cut in the basin and were as thin as paper, and felt more and more in his heart that Team Leader He was really hidden.
Maybe this time, when you come to the cooking class, maybe you've come to the right place!

It was another sunny morning, and everything was as usual, the same wake-up number, the same gathering, the same morning exercise.
For Li Wu, the only difference is that he no longer has to participate in the morning exercise as before, and now, during the morning exercise, Li Wu's only task is to steam steamed buns, cook porridge, and prepare the first meal of the new day for the soldiers participating in the morning exercise.
Team Leader He concentrated on kneading two lumps of noodles the size of two basketballs, and Team Leader He easily squeezed them out of various shapes with one in each hand, and threw the dough into the air from time to time. Li Wu, who saw the way, also learned the movements of Team Leader He's free, but the strength in his hands didn't seem to be enough, and he always lost his strength after a few rubs.
Looking at Li Wu, who was sweating profusely, squad leader He smiled his signature smile, and while continuing to knead the big dough in his hand like acrobatics, he said to the exhausted Li Wu: "Don't make the dough too big for the first time, it's too big, the strength in your hands is not enough, the dough is not kneaded well, the steamed buns made are not delicious, and the arms will have muscle reactions, and you won't be able to pick up the chopsticks at that time." ”
Li Wu painfully replied to Squad Leader He with a pretended smile: "Squad Leader He, I can do it, such a big dough can't make it difficult for me to ......"
Seeing Li Wu laboriously fiddling with two balls of dough in his hands, there were two slightly smaller doughs, and squad leader He suddenly laughed: "If you are in such a hurry, you will not be able to practice the results." ”
Li Wu ignored the laughter of Xiao Zhao and Team Leader He, and continued to learn Team Leader He's movements laboriously, kneading the large dough in his hand.
Because Li Wu knew in his heart that the reason why Squad Leader He made noodles like this was actually the same as cutting vegetables. It's all about technique, arm strength, arm coordination, arm muscle endurance and explosiveness. This is a great help for bomb throwing and fighting, and this effect is the same as lifting a barbell and pulling an arm force.
Squad Leader He is really worthy of being a full soldier, even in the cooking class, he can still have a variety of ingenious exercise methods, and not let his ability regress. Li Wu thought as he continued to work hard to learn from Squad Leader He, and threw the two doughs into the air.
Two hours later, outside the cafeteria, the soldiers who had finished their morning exercises began to sing deafeningly:
"If you want to be a man, you have to be a soldier first, and when you are a soldier, you can go on a journey, and you will enrich my heart and steel gun. The military uniform is my green life, the military song is my blue passion, the military flag is my red horn, and the military is my bright life............"
There is an old saying in the army: "If you don't sing before eating, you won't eat well!" That is, every time before eating, there must be an uplifting military song. The deafening singing can not only show the morale of a unit, but also relieve the fatigue of the soldiers.
After the song was over, the exhausted warriors went to the cafeteria and began to eat their first meal of the day. Watching Xiao Zhao add kimchi radish to his plate with a spoon, which seemed to be different from usual, Wang Tao said calmly: "I said Xiao Zhao, your ability to cut vegetables has returned, you see that it is all cut in a mess and strange shape, what's going on?" ”
Xiao Zhao turned his head to look at Li Wu, who was still practicing chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and whispered to Wang Tao: "Today's radish was not cut by me, but cut by the second row." ”
Wang Tao was happy when he heard it: "Then don't tell him, his skills are too bad, otherwise he will definitely have to cut you!" ”
"The second platoon commander actually doesn't have to come to me like this to be my deputy on duty, which is indeed a bit condescending." Looking at Li Wu, who had been practicing all morning and was still practicing chopping vegetables, squad leader He showed a rare serious look on his face and said to the instructor beside him.
The instructor smiled at Team Leader He: "It's okay Lao He, you are idle anyway, it's better to let him learn some skills from you, maybe he will use it in the future." ”
Squad Leader He still didn't have the usual smile on his face: "Instructor, in fact, since the first day the second platoon commander came to the cooking class, I knew that the company commander actually valued him very much, but the second platoon commander was too anxious, and he had to hone and hone before he could become a weapon." The reason why the company commander called him to the cooking class was because he wanted him to come and learn some useful skills from me, right? ”
The instructor patted squad leader He on the shoulder: "It can also be said that from the quality of the second platoon commander in all aspects, to the last battle, he is indeed a good seedling, and he will definitely become a qualified commander in the future." But there is still a lack of beating, and it is too young and vigorous, and it really has to be sharpened to make it. ”
Squad Leader He lowered his head thoughtfully, and then raised his head to look at the instructor: "But what the company commander knows, I can't do it, I forgot a lot of things back then, what can I teach him?" ”
The instructor looked at squad leader He, who was already slightly wrinkled on his black face: "Old He, give Li Wu a chance, this is also a chance for yourself, let him go in the past, don't always think about it, this will only make you angry." Wounds on your body............ I'm sure it's going to be fine......"
Team Leader He looked at Li Wu, who was still busy in the kitchen, blankly: "Maybe...... I will try my best to take him well and teach him all the things that are in my head. ”
The instructor wanted to say something, but the clerk hurriedly ran over: "Report to the instructor!" Something happened, the company commander told you to go! ”
After handing out a cigarette to squad leader He, the instructor hurriedly ran to the company headquarters.
