Chapter 47 Abandoned military base
As soon as I got off the plane, a personnel carrier was waiting at the airport, piloted by a lieutenant and a non-commissioned officer.
Staff Officer Cheng and the lieutenant saluted each other and said, "I'll leave it to you next." β
The lieutenant looked at Ye Song and Dou Miao and asked quietly, "Is that them?" How did such a nice young man get sent there? β
"Just obey the instructions of your superiors!" After speaking, Staff Officer Cheng turned to Ye Song and Dou Miao and said, "I'll send it here, and the rest of the journey will be handed over to this 10,000 platoon leader." Good bye! β
The two hurriedly saluted and thanked them.
Watching the plane leave again, Yesong had the illusion of being trafficked.
"Let's get in the car, let's go buy some food and then let's go, and try to get there before dark." As he spoke, Platoon Leader Wan helped put his bags on the car.
Ye Song looked at the performance, it was only 9 o'clock in the morning, how far was this to go!
After simply buying a few bottles of mineral water and some bread, they set off. Night Pine and Doumiao sat in the back compartment, the dust rolled up by the wheels greatly obstructing their vision, but they knew that the outside of the car was getting more and more desolate.
Dou Miao put down her mobile phone and sighed: "Alas, the signal is so bad that I can't even open the web page." β
"Old Bean, I think they're going to send us to the ravine! Look at this deserted ......"
"Yesong, don't worry, I've been to this kind of place. The more desolate the place, the more free it is, the longer the time to go out every quarter, and at least ten days and a half of a month's rest at the current level, which is almost the same as a vacation, how cool! β
Ye Song frowned and wanted to refute it, but there was no basis.
After three blockades in a row, the car finally stopped, and it was already dusk.
After getting off the bus with his bags, Night Pine found that there was a large mountain forest in front of him.
"Xiao Wang, please watch the car here, I'll send them in." After the platoon commander Wan finished speaking, he walked towards the forest with his bag.
The woods were covered with dead leaves, bare branches formed a wooden net in the air, and the occasional birdsong was heard.
After walking for nearly an hour and a half, Ye Song walked to the 10,000 platoon leader and asked, "Platoon leader, where are we going?" β
"Ahead is one of our military bases, with a large number of weapons and equipment parked."
"Since it's a military base, why don't you drive in?"
"The base is located in the innermost part, so there is no road for cars to pass through for secrecy. A river would form in the ravine, and the water would flow rapidly in the summer and dry up in the winter, and the equipment would be transported by water. β
"Then why don't we come in by helicopter?"
"In the past, it was really easy to use helicopters, but since the arrival of the army commander, the regularization of management in all aspects has been strengthened, and the military reform five years ago has made the control of equipment more stringent...... Therefore, except for the helicopter that will be called at the beginning of the month to deliver some daily necessities there, it is estimated that even the first layer of the blockade line will not be able to pass through at other times. β
At this time, Dou Miao behind him asked, "Platoon Commander Wan, how many people are there in that base now?" β
"There used to be a squad of troops guarding there, but then for some reason, since a sergeant major of the third class was also placed there, there was no replenishment. The last two young men there were also discharged in September and December last year, and now only the sergeant major of the third class is left. β
"Is there a quarterly holiday here?" Doumiao asked expectantly.
"Because it's so remote, it's customary to have 12 days off every quarter......"
Hearing this, Dou Miao raised her eyebrows at Ye Song, with an expression that was not what I expected, but the next words of Platoon Leader Wan instantly threw him from heaven to hell.
"But since the sergeant major of the third class came, he took the initiative to abolish this practice, and it was because of this that no one wanted to go there anymore. So I'm curious how you two recruits got here. β
Ye Song laughed twice and asked curiously, "Isn't this a military base where equipment is parked?" Why are there only so many people guarding it? β
"It used to be indeed a military base, but now its main role is parked with scrapped equipment. Even the first planes, tanks, armored vehicles of our country...... You can see them all here. β
"So this is a military scrap yard?"
"Yes, that's a fitting analogy."
Ye Song smiled self-deprecatingly, yes, with the master's style, it is definitely not for you to be transferred from afar to enjoy, and there are definitely more "surprises" waiting for you in the future.
Ye Song looked back at the bean sprouts again, this thing has always looked like he has no love since he heard that there is no little leave.
"Don't be too discouraged, it's a remote place but there's a lot to offer." Seeing that the two recruits suddenly fell silent, Platoon Commander Wan comforted: "For example, you can try to drive all kinds of equipment casually, although most of them can't move, but you can experience the feeling." And after all, this used to be a large military base, with a special tank training ground, artillery training ground, signal station, gas station, ammunition depot ......"
"Aren't you afraid of danger if the ammunition hasn't been taken away?"
"The ammunition here is almost expired, and besides, even if someone does sneak away with guns and bullets, I guarantee that he will be killed before he even gets out of the blockade...... Look, we're here! β
Night Pine stood on the hillside, looking at the huge military base in front of him in surprise.
Abandoned barracks, training grounds that you can't forget, and discarded equipment piled up there.
"Platoon Leader, there are only three people watching such a large venue...... What's the difference between this and not guarding? To put it mildly, someone is stealing something, and by the time we find out, they've already run away. Ye Song said with some collapse.
"I want to know, too! Originally, I thought that when the sergeant major was discharged in 11 months, there would be no one to watch here, who would have thought that you would be assigned here. The leader of the Wan platoon spread his hands and said with a wry smile.
β¦β¦
The gates of the camp were closed, and the guards were empty.
Platoon Commander Wan walked to the door of the guard room, kicked the security door three times, and slapped the door lock, and the door was opened.
"Let's go, take you to Veteran Shen, and my mission will be completed."
Ye Song and Dou Miao, who were already numb, followed the platoon leader Wan mechanically and walked through the guard room towards the central office building.
Walking to the front of the building, the platoon leader Wan stopped, and he shouted upstairs: "Old soldier Shen-these two recruits will hand over to you, I'll go back first-" After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
Ye Song and Dou Miao hurriedly stopped: "Wait for Platoon Leader, you can't leave us alone!" β
"What does it mean to leave you alone, you are assigned here, this is your home, I am just leading the way."
"But you don't seem to be there!"
"Don't worry, there's definitely someone here. Every day here you have to report the situation to the brigade headquarters duty room, how can there be no one? Besides, the people in the duty room had already told Shen Veteran in the morning that you were coming, so you should go in quickly. Good bye! After saying that, the 10,000 platoon leader walked towards the gate.
Ye Song and Dou Miao glanced at each other and then looked at the dark corridor, and the two swallowed their saliva and slowly walked in.
"Veteran Shenβ"
"Veteran Shenβ"
"We're new recruits from the company, and we're here to report to you."
The two shouted as they walked, but there was no response.
Dou Miao pulled Ye Song's sleeve and said timidly: "Ye Song, why don't we go out first, it's dark, I feel like there are ghosts here!" β
"What the hell are revolutionary soldiers afraid of...... But let's wait for him outside the door. β
As soon as the two of them turned around, they didn't take a few steps before they felt their shoulders be clasped and a hoarse voice came from their ears.
"Who are you?"
