Chapter VII Rules

"Company commander, what's wrong?"

"What's going on? I didn't get punished! ”

……

As soon as they returned to the air-raid shelter, their comrades-in-arms hula surrounded them and asked questions with concern.

"No, it's nothing!" I was a little embarrassed to get up and be criticized in front of my subordinates, which was a shame.

"Oh, this is the instructor arranged for us by our superiors." Seeing that everyone was staring at Instructor Zhao behind them suspiciously, I introduced it on my behalf: "My name is Zhao ......."

"Zhao Changshun!" Instructor Zhao said: "Comrades, I am honored to come to a heroic company like you as an instructor, I have heard about your deeds, and I am very brave!" It is hoped that in the future struggles, comrades will continue to carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship and sacrifice, continue to struggle for our revolutionary cause, and resolutely struggle against reactionaries and US imperialism. All reactionaries are paper tigers, as long as we ......"

"Whew......" I opened my mouth, slowly moved behind the soldiers, and then took advantage of everyone's unnoticed to sneak into my own bed through the night, which just froze me, and now I am still shivering!

Lying in the quilt, I was thinking about the criticism I received today, in fact, it is no wonder that Xu Feng and Commander Chu, there are so many soldiers in this volunteer army, if everyone is like me who does not listen to orders and makes their own decisions, then this team really can't be led, and this battle can't be fought.

It's just that I wasn't a soldier before, and I'm a modern person from 60 years later, so it's hard to fit into the culture and rules of this era for a while. For example, the words of the instructor now, the soldiers all listened to them with relish and high spirits, and I felt awkward no matter how I listened to them.

In fact, I also know that it is not difficult to adapt to these rules and regulations, which is also the most basic requirement of being a volunteer soldier, but what I am worried about is that I am a person who knows what this war has gone through, and on some occasions I can largely avoid unnecessary casualties of volunteer soldiers, and once I am restricted by those rules and regulations, then what else can I do?

If I am obedient to them and only know how to obey the orders of my superiors, then what role can I play even if I know the dangers of this war and know a lot about this war? Isn't that the same as an ordinary volunteer soldier?

For the first time, I felt like I was tied hand and foot in the army, and my freedom was limited by the discipline of the army. But what can I do? Did you still run to Commander Chu and say, we are the savior who has crossed over from the future world, let him not use the discipline of the army to regulate me, let him obey my command, so that he will not be regarded as a god disease.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze, and the next day I was woken up by freezing before dawn, and I stood up and jumped a few times with a shiver.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the thin cotton clothes and marching quilts were not enough to keep warm. The warriors were still asleep, but they were all clutching on to the quilts, and they didn't seem to be sleeping well.

This hellish day, I couldn't help but curse in my heart. At the beginning of the war, I didn't have to sleep, and I marched outside all day to kill the enemy; As soon as there is no war, in order not to expose the target, you can only hide in this bomb shelter and have nothing to do, and you are worried about touching your head when you jump twice, so you can only go out at night to do activities.

"Company Commander Cui!" Perhaps woken up by my movements, Instructor Zhao propped up half of his body from the quilt and said, "I was almost frozen last night, rest more!" ”

"No, it's fine." I couldn't help but blush, listening to his tone, I felt that he knew that I secretly hid under the cover when I took advantage of him to speak last night.

"Last night, ......" Instructor Zhao said as he handed me a cigarette, lit each other, and then continued: "Last night, I arranged all the recruits, and let them dig five air-raid shelters by themselves, and live in twenty of them in each hole, otherwise I am afraid of the plane of the American devils at dawn this day, and the wind and snow outside are heavy, maybe people will freeze out and die." ”

"Hmm!" I didn't think of this, I didn't know anything when I first became a company commander, and I was secretly glad to have this instructor.

"I also accepted the twenty veterans transferred by Battalion Commander Xu." Instructor Zhao continued: "In this way, our whole company will have 128 people, 100 recruits, 28 veterans, and 22 cadres and veterans. What do you think? ”

"Hmm, okay!" I nodded, thinking that this instructor was really capable, but I didn't expect him to arrange everything when I got up from sleep.

"It just so happens that the superior also has the meaning of taking a break for a while!" Instructor Zhao spit out a puff of smoke: "I just came down from the agency to know some information, this logistics can't keep up, the soldiers lack food and clothing, especially the comrades of the 42nd Army are even harder, it is said that some soldiers still wear straw sandals, a class only has a pair of cotton shoes, the whole class is reluctant to wear them, so they have to stipulate that whoever stands guard will wear them!" ”

This instructor was very well informed, and I couldn't help but glance at him more, because he was engaged in political work, and nothing could escape his ears and eyes.

"Coupled with the fact that the fighters have fought two big battles, people are sleepy, and there are not many bullets, it's time to rest and rest!" Instructor Zhao continued: "So the superiors plan to rest for two or three months, and we can just use this time to step up the training of new recruits, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime, what do you think, company commander?" ”

"Good is good! ......I hesitated, because I knew that the original two- or three-month rest and recuperation plan would not be approved by the Central Committee, and the third battle would start in ten days.

After the second battle, the UN forces were driven south of the 38th parallel, but they shamelessly demanded that the Chinese army stop north of the 38th parallel on the grounds of a contract.

The United Nations forces can cross the 38th parallel regardless of the contract, so why should we ask our army to abide by the contract and stop at the 38th parallel, so from a political point of view, our army must cross the 38th parallel, even if it is a step over.

It is not allowed to fight militarily, but it must be fought politically. The military must be subordinated to political necessity.

This is the third battle......

"Just what?" Instructor Zhao looked at me who was in a fugue and asked suspiciously.

"Oh! It's nothing, it's nothing......" I coped with it, but in my heart I thought, this recruit training is not in a hurry, at most, let them learn how to shoot guns and how to cover themselves.
