Chapter 17: Border Meeting
Border Meeting(1)
Back at the garrison of the third company, after Li Wu sent the fainted soldier to the infirmary, he and the other soldiers of the fifth squad followed the squad leader He to the canteen.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, everyone took off their soaked military uniforms and put on the military coats sent by Wang Tao as if they were courteous, Li Wu trembled and held a bowl of freshly boiled ginger soup, and said to Wang Tao in the same trembling voice: "Where did you die early?" Comrades are all fighting against the torrential rain and the cold by the boundary pillars, and you are alone in your own home to enjoy the happiness. ”
Wang Tao smiled and said: "Platoon Commander Li, you think I don't want to go, but I have a more difficult task, I still have to prepare at home for the triumphant return of all of you, if I also go, then you don't have a warm military coat to wear now, and you don't have a ginger soup to drink!" ”
After hearing this, squad leader He smiled and said to Wang Tao, who was complacent: "Platoon leader, listen to what you say, you boiled this ginger soup, right?" No wonder the taste seems to be a little bit worse, Comrade Chef Lao brought the soup back, put more ginger and brown sugar and boiled it again! ”
After staying in Sanlian for so long, squad leader He has long known Wang Tao's cooking skills, it can be said that where there is a smell of burnt food in the kitchen, there is a long line of Wang Tao. After being ridiculed many times, Wang Tao was no longer willing to go to the kitchen in front of everyone, and he couldn't stand the bad comments of others about his dishes. No, Wang Tao, who was still bragging that he was preparing ginger soup for Li Wu and them just now, heard this, his face sank, and he immediately pulled Xiao Zhao, the cook, over and said: "Actually, I'm just a hand-starter, so leave this arduous task to Xiao Zhao." ”
Everyone suddenly trembled and laughed, laughing Wang Tao's face was embarrassed, in order to mention Wang Tao to relieve the siege, Li Wu handed the empty bowl in his hand to Wang Tao, and said: "Actually, the taste is quite good, please ask Chef Wang to bring me another bowl!" ”
"Okay! This military master upstairs, please~~" When Wang Tao, who was still gloomy just now, heard this, he immediately brought a bowl to Li Wusheng heartlessly, and imitated the mantra of the shopkeeper during the Republic of China.
The company commander, who was also wrapped in an overcoat and drinking ginger soup, did not join in the jokes of the few of them, but was talking to the instructor about business.
The instructor said to the company commander who was drinking ginger soup: "The higher authorities informed us that they had received news from country A that a team of about a dozen people last night, wearing our military uniforms and using a disorderly variety of weapons, attacked the sentry post of country A on the opposite side and fled into our territory. The reason for this is that we are the closest PLA troops to their border posts, and we are one of the PLA units that can attack their outposts in such a short period of time and retreat in their entirety, and we are also one of the PLA units with such combat capability that they know.................."
Without waiting for the instructor to finish speaking, the company commander scolded directly: "He*, do we seem to be a unit that would do such a thing?" If we had done this, by now, Lao Tzu would not have been sitting here drinking ginger soup, he would have sat down at the presidential palace of their country to drink tea! ”
The instructor looked at the angry company commander at this time and said, "Old Yang, don't get excited, listen to me." Now, a motorized infantry division and two close-range missile units on the side of country A have been deployed on the opposite side and may start a war at any time. As the saying goes: there is no small matter at the border, and if this matter is not handled well, it is likely to turn into a war! The company commander was silent, and it could be seen from his expression at this time that he was holding back the anger in his chest, and the instructor continued: "The order of the theater has also come down, and the commander of the theater has asked us to go to the opposite country A outpost at noon today to participate in the border meeting with the military of country A. Originally, we were going to wait for us to find the group of militants who pretended to be our army and attacked the outpost of country A before holding a meeting, but the A side insisted that it be held today, saying that they had sufficient evidence to prove that we had done it. At the same time, we should obtain specific information from the military of country A related to last night's attack, and then according to the information provided by the military of country A, arrest and bring to justice the militants who attacked the checkpoint of country A, and hand it over to the government of country A. ”
The company commander drank all the hot ginger soup in the bowl in one go, and said, "It's okay to have a meeting, I want to see what bullshit information these grandsons have, and I dare to say that we did it!" ”
Border Meeting(2)
Li Wu, who had already changed into a regular military uniform, and Wang Tao put gifts for the border guards of country A in the box on the side, and said to squad leader He: "Squad leader He, there is a sentence, at this time, I have to say. You said that we went to have a meeting with the military of country A, it was like going to see my mother-in-law, and we had to prepare gifts for them, you see that this is cigarettes and alcohol, and this box of cigarettes alone is enough for me to pay for more than half a year. We are not afraid of them, so why bother? ”
Without waiting for squad leader He to answer, Wang Tao rushed to answer: "What? Feeling aggrieved? Actually, this is not a show of weakness to them, this is the law on the border line for so many years, every time the two sides organize a meeting, they will give gifts to each other to express friendship and hope for peace. Right, Squad Leader? ”
"Do they have to give us a gift too? They still face each other in the morning, and they give gifts to each other at noon, which is too fake, right? Li Wu still kept asking.
While inspecting the gifts in the box, squad leader He said to Li Wu: "Second platoon leader, I said you, don't think about it, we are civilized teachers, no matter what, we can't break the etiquette." They will also give us gifts, last time, it was two years ago, when you didn't come to our third company, that meeting, the outpost of country A sent us several roasted sheep, and the soldiers ate it called a fragrant ............"
With the impatience for the border meeting, Li Wu continued to bow his head and put gifts in the box.
An hour and a half later, the border meeting was finally about to begin. Li Wu and Wang Tao took the lead in leading a platoon of soldiers to the country A outpost first, and the company commander and instructor, who had just changed into military uniforms, walked at the back of the team, and a group of more than 60 people went to the meeting together.
The soldiers of the third company have four specialities: they are particularly able to endure hardships, they are particularly able to endure, they are particularly able to fight, and they are especially able to contribute. But what they saw and smelled in their noses made their patience almost reach the limit.
It was noon, and the clouds in the sky had long since dissipated without a trace, leaving only the sun to release its unrivaled heat.
In a clearing among the rubble, there are dozens of stretchers, and on the stretchers lie the bodies of dozens of soldiers of country A covered with white cloths.
Only a few of the corpses were intact, and the rest were all mutilated, some were missing arms, some were missing legs, and some even had only half of their heads left, and they were even more horrific and were blown into two sections, and the colorful internal organs flowed out directly. Flies swirled around the corpse, and the stench filled the sweltering air.
The soldiers of the third company forcibly endured the pungent smell of corpses, and continued to march in a uniform manner towards the meeting room prepared by country A. When they arrived at the place, the soldiers put down the gifts they had prepared for the soldiers of country A, lined up under the command of the company commander, sorted out the military appearance, and then began to pull out the military posture.
At this time, the soldiers of side A and side Z stood opposite each other at a distance of only a few feet. Between each other, the hateful gaze of Party A looked at the resolute gaze of Party Z, and neither side spoke, just made eye contact with each other, and looked at each other like this.
After a moment of silence, the commander of country A finally arrived. I saw that the commander of country A happily took out two bottles of Wuliangye from the box sent by Li Wu and the others, and then took out a "Zhonghua" to play with.
On the Z side, the instructor frowned, took out a pair of broken shoes, a worn-out hat, and a few dirty stainless steel bowls from the box sent by Party A, and threw them back into the box. After checking the gifts separately, the boxes on both sides were carried away separately, and the company commander was a little impatient, he didn't want to rub with Party A here.
At this time, the commander of side A on the opposite side came over and said to the company commander: "You are always so polite, I like the gift you gave me very much, but I don't like the gift you gave last night!" ”
After hearing this, the company commander replied to the commander of side A with a calm face: "I don't know what gift we gave you last night. But I still want to express my condolences and respect for your soldiers who died last night. ”
The commander of the A side instantly roared to the company commander in a violent manner: "Don't you really know!? We lost a lot of money at our outpost last night, and we have enough evidence to prove that it's all what you call it! ”
In the face of the roar of the commander of Party A, the company commander was still very calm and calm: "If Party A has to think that it was us who stood at your checkpoint last night, then please show evidence to speak, so that we can be convinced." ”
Border Meeting(3)
The commander of party A took the commander of party Z———— company commander, instructor and Li Wu and Wang Tao to a large tent they set up at zero hour, the tent was full of all kinds of instruments, and walked to a projector, the commander of side A stopped, and after whispering something to one of his soldiers, the soldier turned on the projector, and the screen began to show the picture taken by the surveillance camera last night.
In the picture, a group of armed men dressed in PLA uniforms sneaked into the country A outpost, planted mines on the road, killed the soldiers on duty, eliminated the patrol, and then entered the main building of the outpost. Ten minutes later, they walked out of the main building, and after they withdrew from the checkpoint, the main building and the watchtower in the checkpoint exploded one after another. Then, after the two armored vehicles that had arrived to reinforce the outpost were blown up by mines, a man wearing a PLANO* uniform and holding a Gatling gun stood in the middle of the road and fired at the soldiers of country A who arrived behind the armored vehicles for reinforcements, and after killing most of the soldiers, the man disappeared into the rainstorm of night............
The commander of side A said something to the soldier again, and the sound system in the tent began to play a recording of a telephone call, in which a frightened voice shouted: "Help! Help me! We are being attacked by the army of country Z! Heavy casualties! Help............ "Bang!" A muffled sound ended the recording............
The company commander smiled and said to the commander of side A: "Mr. Captain, is this the evidence you are talking about?" ”
The commander of side A replied: "Isn't that enough to accuse you?" ”
The company commander calmly said to the commander of Party A: "Mr. Captain, you don't know that our army uses a unified standard of equipment, right?" The weapons used by the armed men in the video are varied, and they are all weapons that have never been used by our army. Moreover, every militant in the video is equipped with individual night vision equipment, which I think our army has not had so far, enough equipment for every soldier. The commander of Party A stopped talking, he was thinking about what happened last night, and the company commander continued, "Based on such a video alone, the military of Country A is sure that it was us who attacked you last night, which is really far-fetched, judging from the weapons they are equipped with, I think they should be mercenaries in the Golden Triangle region, since they have crossed the border line of our country, then I believe that they are still near the border line of our country." If Party A can believe us, I promise that we will catch them all within 24 hours! ”
The commander of side A thought for a while, and said to the company commander: "Okay, in fact, I also believe that your army will not do such a thing, we can give you twenty-four hours, but we must ensure that all the original culprits are arrested alive for further investigation, otherwise we will declare war on you!" ”
The company commander smiled and said, "Mr. Captain, I will definitely let the truth come to light, in this case, every minute is very precious now, and I ask to end this meeting." ”
The commander of side A stretched out his hand to shake hands with the company commander and said, "I hope this regrettable border incident can be just a misunderstanding between the two of us." We have no new content for the meeting, and I agree that we can end this meeting. ”
Then the two sides came out of the tent, and after the whole team was formed, the company commander gave the order to retreat. On the way back to the station of the third company, everyone did not speak, and the company commander lowered his head, thinking about something all the time. Looking at the outpost of Country A, which has become a ruined wall, everyone understands in their hearts that another vicious battle is about to begin..........................................
