After the farewell party was over, Sun Lei had just eaten lunch and received a notice that a head of the front-line troops from the field hospital was going to meet him.

"Report!"

Sun Lei, who was standing in front of a certain military tent, straightened his crumpled collar, stood in place with his head upright, and put on a standard military posture, and shouted.

"Please come in!"

As soon as Sun Lei's words fell, a somewhat amiable voice came from the tent in front of him.

"Whoa", Sun Lei opened the thick door curtain and walked in, as soon as he walked into the tent, he looked at the stage and found that a middle-aged man wearing the military uniform of the head of the army came to him, with a serious expression written on his face, giving people a look of not being angry and arrogant.

Sun Lei, who had just walked into the tent, had just taken three steps forward, and the oncoming leader of the army had already walked up to him, and he also took the lead in extending his right hand.

Sun Lei, who quickly stopped, hesitated for two seconds before stretching out his right hand and holding it tightly with the right hand of the unit leader standing opposite him.

I saw that this chief comrade held Sun Lei's right hand tightly, and praised him with a pleasant face: "Comrade Sun Lei, I heard that you, a little ghost, have performed very well in the previous battles.

"Moreover, I also heard that your company commander Comrade Zhao Yifa and your company's instructor Comrade Wang Wenju said a lot of good things about you, saying that the kid has a lot of ghost ideas, and he is a piece of material that is born to fight and can gnaw hard bones."

After listening to the praise of the head of the army for his unsparing words, Sun Lei felt a little embarrassed, quickly waved his hand, and pretended to be modest and said: "Comrade chief, I am not as powerful as you say.

"To be able to win the battle, it depends on the collective strength of our sharp knife company, if it is close to my personal strength, how can I win the battle, I am an ordinary warrior like everyone else."

The head of the troops, who still had a straight face just now, nodded slightly after listening to what Sun Lei said, and said with a smile: "You little ghost, you are still quite modest." However, excessive modesty, to some extent, is pride.

"You little devil is not an ordinary soldier, otherwise, I would not have come to this field hospital to visit you, a combat hero. Talents like you, at critical times, can play a combat effect of one enemy against one hundred or even one against thousand, and that is the baby bump of our volunteer army. ”

Although Sun Lei has always been a low-key person, now hearing that he has been praised by the head of the army in person really makes him feel honored and flattered, and his heart is as sweet as eating honey.

The head of the unit put his hands behind his back, and after carefully looking Sun Lei up and down, his face suddenly became serious, and then he said straight to the point: "Comrade Sun Lei, I heard that your injuries have basically recovered, and you are fully equipped to go to the front line to fight......

Without waiting for the comrade commander of the unit to finish speaking, Sun Lei, who was still bowing his head and making a shy appearance just now, immediately raised his head, interrupted with some emotion and asked: "Comrade chief, what do you mean when you just said that you want to rebuild a sharp knife company and three companies?" The third company I was in before was the Sharp Knife Company, so it couldn't be that all the people in our third company were wiped out, right? ”

As soon as he heard the words of the head of the unit talking about the rebuilding of the third company of the sharp knife company, Sun Lei immediately thought that there were still more than 30 people left in their third company to continue to participate in the battle in the front field, and it was only less than a week later.

Otherwise, how could this comrade the head of the unit tell him to rebuild the sharp knife company, this is the last thing Sun Lei wants to hear, for him, it is no different from the bad news of the death of relatives and friends.

Hearing his words, he was interrupted by the young soldier standing in front of him, and the head of the unit did not show the slightest displeasure, but he felt in his heart that this combat hero who was praised by the whole army was still too young, and he was easily excited, and it was better to change this problem.

Therefore, the head of the unit did not answer the many questions raised by Sun Lei, but changed the conversation and continued: "Comrade Sun Lei, in view of your heroic performance in the previous battles, you have been appointed as the squad leader of the first platoon and one squad of the Sharp Knife Company that is about to be rebuilt, and tomorrow you will follow the other recruited soldiers to the front line to join the soldiers drawn from several other brother units. ”

After saying this, the comrade commander of the unit walked to a wooden table next to him, and escaped from his jacket pocket a piece of brown paper folded into a square, which was spread out but was a map.

Immediately afterwards, the head of the unit said to Sun Lei, who was standing next to him, in a kind tone: "Comrade Sun Lei, come over for a moment, and I will show you the route of this march." ”

After the sad Sun Lei walked over, Comrade Commander of the unit pointed to a location on the map with his finger, and said in a commanding tone: "Comrade Sun Lei, do you see the position I am pointing to?"

"At seven o'clock tonight, you will go out with the other thirty or so soldiers from the field hospital, and strive to arrive at this position at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and join the other soldiers of your recreated third company of sharp knives."

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the unit shifted his gaze from the map to Sun Lei, he changed his words, and asked Sun Lei in a loud tone: "In view of Comrade Sun Lei's outstanding combat ability, I will give you all the tasks of safely escorting your team of more than 30 people and reaching the destination on time, I ask you now, can you live up to the trust to complete this arduous task?" ”

As a soldier, he naturally has to obey the orders of the chief, Sun Lei endured the grief of losing his comrades in the third company of the sharp knife company in his heart, gave a military salute to the head of the unit in front of him, gritted his teeth, and replied categorically: "Report to the comrade chief, I promise to complete the task." ”

After receiving the map folded into a square shape and a compass that looked a little worn out from the hand of the head of the troops, as well as a list of personnel, Sun Lei also gave a military salute to the head of the unit and said goodbye before walking out of the tent.
