Chapter Eighty-Six: Lin Xue
"There are more than 300 types of mines, which can be divided into anti-infantry mines for anti-personnel and anti-tank mines for vehicle destruction. Anti-infantry mines, in turn, can be divided into three categories: explosive, jumping and fragmentation,"
Sit at a desk with a notebook and pencil in hand. Watching the instructor on the podium explaining to us the types of landmines made me feel a little back to my college days.
No, it's not like college days.
Because in college, we don't line up when we walk into the classroom; Because in college, there were always a few empty seats in the classroom; Because when we were in college, the textbooks we held in our hands were always Gu Long and Jin Yong's,"
I can't help but recall the happy times in college, the youthful frivolity in college, and the classmates who haven't been in touch for a long time, "I don't know how they are doing now, maybe they are all married and have children now!" I can't take it anymore! I sat on the chair for more than an hour, and the instructor had no intention of leaving the class. My *** started to get restless.
I should also talk about science in class! From a pedagogical point of view, it is difficult for the average person to concentrate continuously. hours, so the class is only set for forty-five minutes, isn't it?
"How!" Maybe it was the temper brought on by being the head of the regiment for a few months, and I had an urge to stand up and curse.
But thinking that I am now an ordinary student, and then looking at the other people around me, all of them are seriously writing down something in their notebooks, even Li Pinghe, I have to helplessly turn my eyes back to the notebook in front of me that is as white as a ***, and my thoughts will fly with the 'chaos'
Last night we moved into the student dormitory as my uncle had suggested.
Earlier, Li Pinghe told me that the advanced infantry school is the cradle for cultivating the backbone of the troops, and everyone in the infantry school is the best soldier in the military quality of the troops. Some of them are more difficult."
I know what Li Pinghe meant by "more difficult". No matter what era or place, it is impossible for so many people in a country to level the bowl of water. Especially during this war period, when the people of the whole country set off a vigorous movement to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the people of this class of senior infantry schools were particularly popular
Isn't it? When they graduated, the Korean War was almost over, and then they were sent to the army as cadres.
Of course, I'm not saying that all the students in the step school are like this. In fact, the infantry cadets I came into contact with were very tenacious in their fighting spirits, and even the brother who slept on my top bunk hoped that US imperialism would fight for two more years so that he would have the opportunity to compete with them.
But in such a "popular" session, it is inevitable that some people with backgrounds and connections will squeeze in. This part of the people. is the difficult person Li Pinghe said.
But then again, Li Pinghe and I seem to be people with backgrounds and relationships. The difference is only that we came in unwillingly.
I am not a recruit, not only not a recruit, but also a veteran who has fought several bloody battles on the battlefield, so I don't take to heart the difficult people that Li Pinghe said in his mouth. But as soon as I walked into the dormitory, I realized that I was wrong. The atmosphere was different from what I usually had with the fighters.
The dormitory was at the top of a row of low bungalows, and there was not much space, but there were many warriors inside, with six 'beds' on the left and six 'beds' on the right, squeezing an already small area of land to the point of only a middle aisle. However, the 'wool' towels, basins and toothbrushes are neatly arranged, and the quilt is also stacked with square tofu blocks, which makes the whole dormitory look very organized.
When I look at it, I can't help but cry out in my heart. After fighting on the battlefield for so long, we often sleep without taking off our shoes! It's not uncommon to not wash your face for a month or two, and it's a habit to get used to it. But in the future, you will be guilty
The instructor arranged two 'beds' for us, and then briefly introduced us to our roommates before leaving on our own. Looking at me who was stunned, Li Pinghe touched my shoulder and motioned for me to put the basin and toothbrush in my hand. I smiled wryly, and put on the things that were superfluous to me, and secretly resolved not to touch them again, and to leave them as they were.
"Welcome, comrade!" Soon, a few hands stretched out in front of me and Li Pinghe, and introduced themselves: "I am from Shandong, my name is Chen Gesheng!"
"My name is Zhang Jianjun. Hubei people! ”
My director, Li Pinghe, also shook hands with these enthusiastic fighters one by one and introduced themselves to each other. But four or five of them seemed very cold, lying on the 'bed' without moving, some were peeling apples with daggers, some were lying on the 'bed' pretending to read, and one seemed to be showing off their power with us, 'naked' their upper body 'exposed' a piece of muscle 'flesh' and doing sit-ups on the 'bed'.
Chen Gesheng from Shandong is straightforward and fast-talking. said on the side: "They are city soldiers, and they look down on us."
"Hmm!" Listening to what Chen Gesheng said, I understood that there are still urban soldiers and rural soldiers in the army.
"I say comrade!" When Chen Gesheng said this, the soldier who was exercising on the 'bed' didn't agree, he stopped his movements and said arrogantly: "Why do you want the city soldiers to look down on you? We're talking about survival of the fittest, you know, no
Kawakami is harder than anyone's fists, and our military quality is stronger than yours. What can you do if you recommend Jing Yi to bully Sichuan? ”
"How do they know the survival of the fittest! What are you talking nonsense to them? The soldier with the book 'interjected', and the city soldiers burst into laughter.
"Cut!" I smiled disdainfully: "Survival of the fittest is not something that is counted in school, the real survival of the fittest!" That's who can survive on the battlefield, and the one who is eliminated is to eat guns! ”
"That's right!"
"That's right! If we want to be more powerful, let's go to the battlefield."
Chen Gesheng and the others also followed and coaxed on the side.
"Hey" you little boy! "The muscular warrior got up from his bed, as if to trouble me.
I glanced at Li Pinghe. secretly laughed at these boys who didn't know the height of the sky, and dared to plan to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and were about to teach them well, when it happened that the lights out horn sounded.
The military academy is no different from other places, and you can also do some small actions during the break, but you must sleep as soon as the lights go out, otherwise the instructor will make us unable to eat and walk around. So the city soldiers had to glare at us fiercely and crawl back to the 'bed' unconvinced.
I've always been sleepy and woke up to fight on the battlefield, but I can't sleep when I climb *** for a while. Moreover, our volunteers are accustomed to fighting at night, and often the more they are at night, the more 'spirited' they become. This is the time for us to 'spirit' and where we can sleep. I think Li Pinghe is like this too, because I hear him turning over from time to time in the dark night. I wanted to call him up to chat, but there were so many soldiers in the dormitory, they would argue with them not to speak, and maybe they would be called out by the instructor to run and stand!
If you can't sleep, your head will start to 'mess up', and when you think of the arrogant appearance of those city soldiers just now, you can't help but feel strange in your heart. Listening to their tone, it seems that they are superior to our country soldiers in terms of military quality! I haven't been fighting on the battlefield for a day or two, and I've led a lot of soldiers, so why never knew that city soldiers could fight better than country soldiers?
Thinking about it, it quickly became clear.
Life in this era is hard, and it is a question of whether the soldiers in the countryside can eat enough, so they are all malnourished, yellow-skinned, and the volunteer soldiers who fight on the front line are almost like this. In this respect, the urban soldiers are much better than the rural soldiers, not only can they keep up with the nutrition, but many of them are also the children of cadres. It is said that the children of cadres in this era are different from the second generation of modern officials, and most of the cadres and children of this era are also the descendants of the old Red Army and the old ***, and they have paid great attention to the cultivation of the military quality of future generations since childhood. Therefore, it is not surprising that the military quality of urban soldiers will be better than that of rural soldiers.
But on the battlefield, it is not only marksmanship, stabbing technology, defense, various weapons" and many other military qualities. On the battlefield, what is more is the ability to endure hardships, starvation, endurance, psychological endurance, and so on, especially on the Korean battlefield, where the combat environment is very harsh, and it is even more a test of human 'nature'. Compared with the hardships on the Korean battlefield, the Red Army's crossing of grasslands, climbing snow-capped mountains, and the Long March of 10,000 miles were not worth mentioning at all.
The country soldiers eat hardship as food in their daily lives. Starvation is even more common, and after living like this for a long time, endurance and psychological endurance will naturally be available. Therefore, it is often the country soldiers who can stand up and hold up on the battlefield.
And all of this is not available to the city soldiers. Although they have excellent military qualities, and on the surface they seem to be stronger than the country soldiers, but after all, they are in the rear, and they can't hold out for a few days on the battlefield. The city soldier is like a small 'flower' cultivated in a greenhouse, which is beautiful on the surface but cannot withstand the wind and rain. A country soldier is a green pine. It looks inconspicuous, but it stands the test of the battlefield.
I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, and it was another two hours. Still can't sleep.
That's it, just think of this bed as a latent position! I'm here to practice stealth warfare. However, this quilt is much more comfortable than in the cold snow, and I don't know when I fell asleep.
I was woken up by Li Pinghe early the next morning, and hurriedly tied my 'legs' and ran towards the 'door'.
There is no doubt that I was the last to run to the queue, and there were 'hair' problems everywhere in the buckles, military hats, and belts. Immediately reprimanded by the instructor: "How did you do it!" Are you on your first day in the army or what's going on? ”
''! My first day in the army? The volunteers don't tie their 'legs', do they? It would be good for the volunteers to wear a cotton coat without patches and mud and blood on the battlefield, but they could still wear it so neatly?
In other words, in order not to be specialized, the old man did not tell these teachers my identity, so these teachers were not polite to me at all. I think that if it weren't for the fact that they knew that I was brought by Li Pinghe, it wouldn't have been a reprimand.
Then there is the five-kilometer cross-country, which sounds scary, because I was tired and out of breath when I ran a thousand meters in college, but fortunately, my body is really strong now, and I didn't lag behind the team at all. But it's a little worse than the sporty city soldier last night, who has been running at the front of the line. From time to time, he came back and smiled at me,
''! Looking at his arrogant appearance, I couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in my heart.
If you have eaten fried noodles for more than a year on the battlefield in Korea, and squatted in the pit for a year. see
"Cui Wei!" I woke up from my memories with a loud shout, only to see the instructor shouting at me solemnly and asking, "Cui Wei, why is there nothing in your notebook?" ”
"Report to the instructor!" I stood up and looked at a large mine on the blackboard, and I thought the instructor was explaining the structure of the mine. Looking at his blank notebook again, he replied, "Report to the instructor, the mines are buried in the soil, so I can't see them!" ”
With a coax, the whole class burst out laughing, even Li Pinghe was no exception. Although the instructor's face was still full of seriousness, I knew from his trembling lips that he was also suffering.
As you can imagine, I was punished for standing outside for seven hours that day, without even eating lunch, until dinner time when I was ordered to disband.
What a wreck! My hands and feet were stiff.
What's even more annoying is that Li Pinghe laughed while supporting me: "I said Captain Cui, can't you be serious?" This ear is a military academy. Also, also mines buried in the soil"
"What happened to the military school?" I replied angrily, "That's all I have for my 'sex' personality." Can a military school still change a person's 'sexual' personality? ”
"If you don't change it, you'll have to suffer in the future!" Li Pinghe may still be thinking about my answer in the morning, don't stop laughing.
"I, I'll go to the old man!" I shook off Li Pinghe's hand holding me, and walked towards the old soldier's residence. As he walked, he said unconvincedly: "I am also a regiment commander, and I still have a thousand people under my command, so why bother to be a small soldier here." ”
"Regiment Commander, Ran Chang" I hurried in front, and Li Pinghe hurried all the way behind.
But I didn't pay any attention to him at all, thinking that wasn't it just learning to clear mines? There is also a demining king in our regiment! When I went back to Wang Xianru to teach me, I didn't need to take notes and stand in line.
After a while, I came to the old soldier's house, and the two sentries who were standing guard at the 'gate' recognized me and saluted me without hindrance. I ran to the 'door' and stretched out my hand to shoot."
"It's coming"
Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant 'female' sound from the 'door', and then the wooden 'door' "creaked" open, and a heroic 'female' soldier stood in front of me. He was neither tall nor short, wearing a set of grassy 'color' military cultivation on his body, a brown 'color' belt tied around his slender waist, a round military hat without a cover on his head, a red 'color' five-pointed star shining in the middle, short black hair tied into two small braids under the military cap, and a pair of big black eyes were looking at me suspiciously at this time.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" She looked me up and down, and then looked at the guard by the 'door', as if wondering how the guard could let me, an ordinary cadet, disturb the old soldier.
"I'm looking for" At this time, I couldn't help but be stunned, saying that I didn't know the name of the old soldier.
"Snow Girl!" At this time, Li Pinghe, who was behind, followed and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "When did you come back, why didn't you tell me!" ”
"Brother Ping! What are you doing here? I'm back! As soon as the little 'female' soldier saw Li Pinghe, he excitedly shouted: "You, aren't you going back to the army?" Why is it back again" still wearing the clothes of the cadets? She laughed like a blooming 'flower', and her voice was as crisp and melodious as a silver bell.
"Look at me!" Li Pinghe smiled: "I forgot that you don't know that I'm at home."
"Oh! This is the head of Cui I told you" After the small reaction, Li Pinghe immediately introduced me: "This is my uncle's 'daughter', Lin Xue, she is in the same class as us!" I've been out on a mission for the past few days, so I haven't told you about it."
"You, you are the head of the Cui regiment, Lin Xue stared at her big eyes and looked at it incredulously
"You think I'm a bad old man, do you?" I couldn't help but quip, "If we meet in another twenty or thirty years, you'll be right!" ”
With a coax, Li Pinghe and Lin Xue couldn't help laughing, and even the guards next to them had a smile on their faces.
"Cher, is your dad here?" After laughing for a while, Li Pinghe asked cautiously.
"In! Sleep though! Lin Xue replied: "I came back to see him, but I heard Xiao Chen say that he just fell asleep, and it is said that he didn't sleep well last night."
Do you have something to do with him? ”
Li Pinghe didn't answer, and turned his gaze directly to me.
"Well, it's okay, it's okay!" I couldn't help blushing and said, "I also want to come to see his old man's house, since he is asleep, then I'll come back another day!" ”
Just kidding, in front of a 'woman', especially in front of such a beautiful 'woman', if you say that you can't stand the life of the military school, then the man's face can't get by, right!
"Well, it's fine!" Li Pinghe nodded with satisfaction, and explained to Lin Xue, who was full of doubts: "That's the case, because of the needs of the battlefield, my uncle asked me and Regiment Commander Cui to stay in the military academy to learn demining, so we are cadets again!" And I even arranged to be in the same class as you."
"Then we're not classmates! , Xiao Lin Xue couldn't help but cry out excitedly, and Bai Zhe's face also had two flushes.
I don't know why, I always feel that when Lin Xue said this, her eyes were staring at me.
