Chapter 157: Conditions, Visiting Relatives
Although Shen Chen killed more than a dozen devils in a row, not many people knew the specific experience.
Commander Zheng also knew that Shen Chen's marksmanship was powerful, but to what extent, he couldn't make a specific judgment.
When Shen Chen said that after he changed the gun, he was already basically familiar with its performance, and the target at a distance of 800 meters could guarantee a hit rate nine times out of ten, Regiment Commander Zheng was simply shocked.
It was shocking before, but now I can only add the word "too".
He looked at Shen Chen for a long time before he reacted. What is the concept of 800 meters, it is a safe place far beyond the ordinary combat distance, for the Eighth Route Army, for the devils, it is almost the same.
In other words, almost no one would have expected to be attacked by a cold gun at this distance, and there would be no vigilant protection at all.
On the battlefield, Shen Chen can hide behind the combat troops, which is not only safe, but also can snipe the enemy without the enemy discovering it.
Not to mention the grenadiers of the devils, even the shooters of light and heavy machine guns, they are also facing a major threat from Shen Chen's accurate sniping.
This, this is a real treasure! With these conditions, that's a lot of money.
When Head Zheng thought of this, he wanted to laugh out loud, but he still had to be tense and not show the appearance of getting carried away. He also listened carefully to Shen Chen's conditions, and nodded and agreed after seemingly considering it.
"Five days off, no more." In the end, Regiment Commander Zheng seemed to be very reluctant and caring: "You must know that the main force has very strict restrictions on the application for leaving the team. It's just that you haven't officially joined the army yet, so you have such care. When you go back and talk to your family, you must tell them about the care that the army has taken care of you and the preferential treatment given to military families in the locality, so that they can rest assured and at ease. β
Now, the matter of joining the army can basically be determined, and Shen Chen's family is the only variable.
Zheng Tuan was a little worried, afraid that it would be empty and happy. That's why he told Shen Chen to try to get things done.
But Head Zheng didn't know that what Shen Chen decided, no matter who it was, no matter what the reason, could not be changed.
Shen Chen said goodbye and left with satisfaction, and Captain Zheng also lent him the war horse for training, which was a big face, and what was there to be dissatisfied with.
When he returned to the station, Shen Chen first went to explain to Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou, even if he broke away from the guerrillas and became a member of the main force.
Although they were extremely reluctant, Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou couldn't say anything more, they could only encourage Shen Chen to work hard in the main force.
If Shen Chen follows the main force in the future, the family does not have to worry, the guerrillas will help take care of it, and the local government will also help solve the difficulties.
Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou's promise, Shen Chen still trusts it very much. After getting along for such a long time, everyone knows their temperament and temperament very well.
In fact, leaving the guerrillas, Shen Chen was also reluctant. After all, they are all acquaintances, and many of the team members have fought side by side.
In order to avoid trouble, Shen Chen didn't tell anyone about this matter, but only said that he was asking for leave to go home and take a look.
Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou also felt that it was too early to announce the news, so they kept it secret for the time being and sent him on the way home.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The weather in early summer already gives a hint of heat.
The war horses used for training are relatively tame, and Shen Chen is already very familiar with riding, but he does not whip the horse quickly, mainly because he is afraid of using the horse badly.
The wind blowing on his face, the foot-tall crops that had risen by the roadside, and the fresh fragrance of wildflowers and leaves in his nose all made Shen Chen feel very comfortable.
The choice has been made, right or wrong, only God knows. Shen Chen only felt that according to his heart, he could do whatever he wanted, or go with the flow, which was the most correct.
It's like killing an enemy, if it's not right, how can it escalate to the level that is now astonishing and unbelievable?
There was a whip from the front, interrupting Shen Chen's thoughts.
The base area carried out a road-breaking movement, dug ditches, and changed the horse-drawn carts and mule carts to narrow distances, driving in the ditches, only the exposed whip tips could be seen.
Shen Chen took the horse to the side, and not far in front of him was a spacious place for the wrong car.
A mule cart was coming in front of him, and Shen Chen glanced at it casually, but his eyes widened.
Erdan was driving the mule cart and was talking to the chrysanthemum on the car, when the whip was flicked, and the sound was so energetic.
On the opposite side came a horseman, with short hair and a gun on his back, and he would never have dreamed that it was an old lady.
"Erdan, Juziβ" Shen Chen raised his voice and shouted, a smile on his face.
Erdan was stunned for a moment, hurriedly reined in the livestock, and watched intently.
Juzi had seen Shen Chen's short-haired image, and she recognized it at a glance, smiled heartily, jumped out of the car, and ran to Shen Chen.
"Da Meiβ" Juzi called affectionately, and when Shen Chen jumped off the horse, he hugged one of his arms.
"Don't even call my sister?" Shen Chen teased: "Should you forget me in a few days?" β
"I'm older than you." Juzi wrinkled her nose and said, "Don't blush if you call your sister, it's me who suffers, okay?" β
"Sister." Erdan put the whip on the carriage and walked over to look at the old lady dressed in an alternative way.
Shen Chen habitually wanted to touch his brother's head, but found that he had grown a lot taller, and it was a little awkward to reach out and touch it.
"Where are you guys?" Shen Chen asked curiously.
"Go to the market." Ju Zi was quick and answered simply, then he looked at Shen Chen's horse and asked, "Are you going home, or are you riding a horse to run errands?" β
Shen Chen smiled: "Then I'll go to the market with you, and buy some things by the way and go home." β
"Okay!" Juzi looked at the war horse enviously and said, "You take me to ride the horse for a while, I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I can't watch others ride, and I can't do it." β
Shen Chen nodded, stretched out his hand to hold the chrysanthemum, and let her ride it. Then, he also got on the horse, put his arms around Juzi's waist, grabbed the reins, and walked unhurriedly with Erdan's car.
"You're amazing, you go home to visit your relatives and ride a horse." Juzi felt quite fresh when she rode on the horse, and talked about her envy for Shen Chen.
"It's nothing, it's the troops who take care of it." Shen Chen said disapprerovingly: "A few days ago, the militias of various villages gathered to compete, how are you, have you won the award?" β
Kikuko stuck out her tongue and said, "I got third in the shooting competition." Anyway, it's far from you. β
"The third is not bad!" Shen Chen smiled: "In the village, it must be the first!" β
"There are only a few militiamen in Murakami!" Juzi was not too satisfied with her performance, and said: "Your name is a household name, and you know it when it comes to Damei, the heroine who kills the enemy." β
Shen Chen laughed twice and didn't answer the question.
Erdan turned a corner at a fork in the road and went straight to Daji. Shen Chen took Juzi to ride the horse for a while, and he was afraid that the horse would be tired, so he got down and sat in the car and talked. He tied the reins to the back of the cart and let the horse follow unhurriedly.
In front of Zhaojiazhuang is Zhaojiazhuang, and a long-term market has been set up on the river beach beyond Zhuangzi to facilitate the exchange of living materials for the people in the base area.
When the mule cart first arrived at the head of the village, two tanned half-sized children suddenly jumped from the big tree at the head of the village.
The two members of the children's team may have waited for a long time, and finally caught the work, and they were very excited, jumping off the tree and grabbing the spear, the red tassels were like flames, and the snow spears were shining in the sun.
"Stop!" The two boys shouted and stopped the mule cart.
"Where are you going?" The boy with the scar on his head began to interrogate.
Ju Zi was talking to Shen Chen, and was a little unhappy to be interrupted, looking at the two little guys with slanted eyes.
Erdan grew up, with a smile on his face, and replied quite gently: "We are from Wang Jiawa, go to the market." β
"Do you have a pass?" The swarthy boy scrambled to ask.
"That, I have." Erdan stretched out his hand and took out the road strip and said, "I often walk this road, and I often come to the market, you should know me, right?" β
"If you see it, give way." Juzi said impatiently: "Take the chicken feathers as an arrow, and it will delay the work." β
"How do you speak?" The half-grown boy was not happy and said, "This is our task, and we have to be serious and responsible." β
Juzi rolled her eyes, deliberately made it bad, and shouted "drive".
The mule cart moved forward, which made the two children anxious, one stopped with a gun, and the other put two fingers into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and blew the alarm whistle.
Immediately, the neighborhood became lively, and the children of the village ran out, some from the fields, and some from the nearby river.
All of them picked up their weaponsβsticks, spears, wooden knives, etc.βand swarmed over to surround Shen Chen and the others.
"This person is unreasonable, and he will force him to pass without waiting for us to see the pass!"
"She is looking around, anxious to run, and she seems to have a bad heart!"
The two boys seemed to have done a great job and told the crowd.
Shen Chen jumped out of the car, ready to say a few words of peace, but felt that something slippery and wet touched his arm.
He looked down and saw that it was a child of seven or eight years old. He was naked, and water was still dripping down his body. Blinking his big eyes, the boy cried out as if he was about to cry, "My knife, my wooden knife, who will take it?" β
No one answered the little guy who had lost his weapon, and there was a lively chatter around him. At this moment, a girl about the same age as Kikuko hurried from the village with a gun on her shoulder.
Juzi saw it at a glance and hurriedly shouted, "Xiaofang, Xiaofang, you quickly let them stop." Being trapped by a group of furry children was something she didn't expect. Now, she also regrets it a little.
The female militiaman named Xiaofang also recognized Juzi, and they all participated in the militia competition, and they met at that time.
She hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, everyone stop, don't make noise, it's your own people, your own people." β
"Sister Xiaofang, they looked at the eyes, and before we could take a closer look at the pass, they were in a hurry to run." The boy's face softened, but he still complained seriously.
"That's what's wrong with you." Xiao Fang deliberately lowered her face and said to Juzi and the others: "How can you disobey the inspection?" β
"Yes, yes, we are in a hurry." Shen Chen hurriedly said something.
Xiao Fang took the pass and looked at it, and said, "This is no problem, but next time you are not allowed to do it again, and if you do it again, you will all be detained." β
As she spoke, she turned to the children's group members and shouted, "Alright, alright, everyone stop!" Well, today they are all brave and responsible, and they deserve praise. β
The children dispersed, those who should have done their work and those who should have played went to be happy.
"Your village's children's group is quite difficult!" Juzi smiled and said, "It's a shame that you're here, or you won't be able to get out for a while." β
Xiao Fang smiled: "Who told you to disobey the inspection!" This hasn't gone up to the search yet, so you can pay more attention to it in the future. As she spoke, she set her eyes on Shen Chen.
Juzi put her arm around Shen Chen's arm and proudly introduced: "Why, I don't know, the most powerful heroine in our base areaββ"
Xiao Fang blinked her eyes, and finally recognized it, showing a look of admiration and adoration, and said with some smugness: "Comrade Damei, this dress is really unrecognizable." If you have time, please give me some guidance on marksmanship! β
Juzi quickly introduced on the side: "Xiaofang's marksmanship is also very good, and she has also won a ranking in the militia competition!" β
Shen Chen nodded happily and said, "Okay, they're all very powerful!" Even if I don't have time, various training classes and improvement classes will be held regularly and irregularly, and you will learn as much as possible, and you will gain and improve. β
Xiaofang warmly invited everyone to sit at her house, and after being politely refused, she said that it was inconvenient for Shen Chen to lead the horse to the market, so it was better to leave it at her house first.
In the face of such hospitality, Shen Chen had no choice but to agree, and he also felt that it was indeed a little inconvenient to take the horse.
Juzi and Erdan drove to the market first, and Shen Chen led the horse to Xiaofang's house.
Xiaofang's house is not new, nor is it dilapidated, but it can be cleaned up neatly.
Shen Chen looked at the layout of the room with a smile from Hexi.
Xiao Fang introduced him to the newly repaired sandwich wall, which was more than two feet wide and could stand people, leaving an exit under the corner. There are forks, rakes, brooms, altars, jars and other utensils outside, and from the outside, it looks like a complete house.
"It's okay to simply hide something, but Tibetans don't have insurance." Xiao Fang said, her eyes always looking at the gun on Shen Chen's back.
In order not to be conspicuous, Shen Chen wrapped the gun in a long cloth bag. But with a scope, it always looks different from a normal gun.
"Sister Da Mei, your gun looks weird." Xiao Fang finally was the same as Juzi, couldn't help but be curious, and asked tentatively.
Shen Chen smiled, opened the cloth bag, and took out the gun to show Xiao Fang.
"Ah, this little mirror can see clearly, and see far away!" Under Shen Chen's guidance, Xiao Fang put her eyes on the scope and immediately let out an exclamation.
"This is a good weapon for devils, and I have captured it." Shen Chen said lightly: "It can be seen that the quality of the weapon is still secondary, and the main thing is the skill of the shooter." β
Xiao Fang fumbled and fiddled, and saw that except for the scope, the structure of the gun was the same, so she returned the gun to Shen Chen.
"Sister Da Mei is really powerful, the devil uses this good gun, and she is not your opponent." Xiao Fang said admiringly: "I also have to practice hard, and practice as well as you." β
