Chapter 31: The First Sentry
After the simple company meeting, Xiang Xiaotian didn't even have time to say hello to Chen Zhen, so he went down to wash up, but the two saw each other, and Xiang Xiaotian even saw it in Chen Zhen's eyes, 'Boy, let's meet again!' This hint, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, quickly ran to the second floor, where their entire platoon was assigned.
Early the next morning, because they had to arrive at the sentry point at eight o'clock, they did not participate in the morning exercise, they had breakfast early and began to organize their equipment, and there was one thing that made the two recruits of the first shift nervous: live ammunition!
However, only one magazine was still to be placed in the cartridge belt on the chest, and it was not directly inserted into the gun, which also made the two people take it in their hands and look at each other, swallow and spit at the mouth, and froze for a while, and there were two rubber bullets, but this one was to be inserted into the rifle, and they looked at each other, and swallowed saliva at the same time.
Song Hai shouted at the two of them: "What are you two stunned about, don't you hurry up and leave after receiving it." ”
Xiang Xiaotian saw that the company commander just carried a pistol and pouted: "Your pistol feelings are fast, I don't know about the big and small pieces, and I think we are surviving in the wild!" But of course he didn't dare say it.
When Xiang Xiaotian pedaled the car, they had already seen that the other groups on the car were already in place, and the personnel of the other two companies were also ready to go, but this time it was different from them on the mountain, there was no witness ceremony, and the others had just finished their morning exercises and were sorting out their housework, so they had to go to work on their own.
After several twists and turns of the vehicle, Xiang Xiaotian found that their location was only the main traffic artery into the city, at least they were like this, and the other companies did not know.
"Missions like this definitely have a key location in the central area!" Xiang Xiaotian thought in his heart, and before he knew it, he had already begun to analyze the situation.
Until the car stopped, there were only two people left in the car at this time, he and Lin Jie, Song Hai was in the front of the car, and along the way, Lin Jie did not say a word magically, and after getting out of the car, the scene in front of him startled these people.
"Oops, this is troop support, come on, come on! Come and eat melons! Relieve the heat on a hot day! A chubby officer in a black police uniform smiled and greeted them and called them over.
When Xiang Xiaotian and the three of them saw the appearance of this policeman, they were stunned for a moment and then began to excuse themselves: "No need, you use it first, let's familiarize ourselves with the surrounding situation first!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian looked at the two policemen in front of him, one was slightly chubby greeting them, and the other was sitting on a chair playing with his mobile phone, and thought helplessly: "Faint to death, it's only past nine o'clock, although there is already the sun, but it hasn't reached the point of relieving the heat, these policemen are too careless!" ”
Song Hai took the two of them to walk among a pile of weeds: "You two come with me!" ”
After a while, Song Hai instructed: "From now on, there are no special circumstances, let's go back to back patrol, face this side of the road, carefully count every car passing by, have a specific number, register, and now start to familiarize yourself with the surroundings!" ”
Xiang Xiaotian turned his head and looked around, in fact, there was nothing to be familiar with, and the route into the city in each city was almost the same, a weedy field behind, there was a low hillside about a hundred meters away, there was a house on the left a hundred meters away, and there was nothing on the right but weeds.
However, the road ahead has been changed to a one-way street, and vehicles entering and exiting must enter and exit from one side, and vehicles entering the city must be inspected by two policemen.
Fortunately, this city is about the same size as the town in the mainland, and there is no congestion, and the vehicles are almost eleven o'clock, and less than thirty vehicles have passed, and the two policemen are also idle and bored, and they want to chat with these three soldiers, but they have no choice but to see the officer who leads the team with a serious face, so they have to give up!
Xiang Xiaotian can at least occasionally have something to do on the road and count the cars, while Lin Jie and Song Hai can only stare at the one hundred and twenty degrees in front of him with their eyes, Song Hai is okay to say, the veteran, he seems to be very relaxed after standing for a few hours, except for the eyes that are shining, there is nothing abnormal about the rest.
But Lin Jie was different, he couldn't wait to blink his eyes, and Xiang Xiaotian occasionally looked at his comrade-in-arms, who was nearly half a head shorter than the height next to him, and his military qualities were top-notch, but he was overly nervous, and then he had to shake his head and smile bitterly.
The weather in July and August, even in the whole country, should not be able to find a cool place, and it is even more uncomfortable for the three soldiers who are patrolling around the road at 360 degrees and armed at this time, and the scorching sun is shining down.
The terrain of Z province is higher, and the face is even more uncomfortable when the sun shines, and in addition to wearing steel helmets, the sweat on each of the three people's faces is dripping, and Lin Jie didn't even dare to speak if he wanted to pee, as for the two policemen, they also moved their chairs under the trees on both sides of the road through the shadows, and they were almost sitting on the road.
At twelve o'clock, when the sun was scorching, the two policemen had already changed their guards and returned to eat, but the three of them had to wait until four o'clock in the afternoon to get off the post, and they could not leave their posts, so the meal time had to go by!
Time is passing little by little, Xiang Xiaotian looked down at the table, it was already more than two o'clock, this time was almost the hottest time of the day, looked up and squinted at the sun, and quickly closed and turned his head!
didn't eat lunch, stood with a weight for a few hours, plus this time period that is most likely to make people sleepy, the three of them were a little drowsy, and they didn't dare to say that they could fall asleep standing now, but at this time, the three people, including Song Hai's company commander, had at least lost the alertness they had at the beginning, and they had all begun to relax, occasionally moving their legs, twisting their shoulders, and adjusting their bodies.
However, everyone didn't talk to each other, and changed the atmosphere, it should be because of Song Hai, otherwise according to the usual Lin Jie, the chatter would have been endless.
Xiang Xiaotian twisted the kettle again, poured a mouthful into his mouth, then picked it up and dripped it into his mouth a few times!
Then he scolded: "Damn, it's over so quickly, it's still more than an hour to get off the whistle, but how can you get by." "I had to screw the lid and put it back on my waist!
It's been a while since I've been in the car, this noon, I hate summer the most, are the two policemen asleep, it's better to let me go five kilometers at the sentry!
Xiang Xiaotian was thinking nonsense, not in a daze, he didn't know what he was thinking in a daze, and at this time, letting himself wander for a while was the only way he could think of to pass the time.
At this very moment, two men in strange clothes were walking out of the city along this road.
