Chapter 45: Pretending to be Han Jun
"Comrades, while we are even resting in the same place, the reason why we called a few of you here is because you are all veterans of our third company.
"Moreover, most of you have followed me and the instructor and fought side by side in the initial War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the later War of Liberation, so you can be said to have rich combat experience.
"Now, there is an imminent problem in front of our Sanlian that needs to be solved immediately, and time is running out. This problem is how our 3rd Company can march to the Guitoudong area during the day without being discovered by the US military planes conducting reconnaissance in the air.
"I tried to think about it with the instructor, but we couldn't come up with a good solution. Now I want to listen to your opinions and suggestions, let's brainstorm a little, and the big guys will express their opinions and see which of you has a good way to solve this problem. ”
After gathering the three platoon commanders and several squad leaders together, Zhao Yifa, as the company commander, first glanced at everyone, and then went straight to the point and said.
The three platoon commanders and several other squad leaders, who had no idea about this in advance, immediately stunned several of them after listening to the words of company commander Zhao Yifa.
For them, it is absolutely impossible to say that on the battlefield, they will compete with each other to fight bravely and who will be the first to rush forward.
But if they were to think about how to march during the day without being detected by the US planes that were scouting in the air, it would really make them difficult at once.
No, as soon as Zhao Yifa's voice fell, they all stared at each other, and after looking at each other, none of them spoke first.
After waiting for a full five minutes, I saw that the platoon leader, squad leader and Sun Lei who were present to participate in this small meeting did not even have a single speaker among them, which really made Zhao Yifa, who had always been short-tempered, burst with anger in his eyes.
It is said that in terms of fighting, Zhao Yifa, as a company commander, has participated in no less than 100 battles, large and small, but in terms of communicating with the soldiers in the company, it is still up to Wang Wenju as an instructor, and doing ideological and political work for the soldiers is naturally Wan Wenju's profession.
After reaching out and patting the left thigh of Zhao Yifa, who was sitting next to him, Wang Wenju glanced at him again, signaling him to control his emotions, and never vent the bad emotions accumulated in his heart at this time, which will only make things worse.
Not to mention, Wang Wenju's set is still very good, Zhao Yifa was still angry just now, but in just ten seconds, his face returned to normal, and there was no half of resentment.
After the company commander Zhao Yifa's mood was adjusted, Wang Wenju relieved the pressure on the other personnel attending the meeting, and said with a smile: "Comrades, big guys, don't have any ideological burden, you can say whatever you think, and brainstorm and express your opinions."
"Here, I assure my comrades that if anyone says something wrong, the other comrades will not laugh at it. If anyone comes up with a good solution, the big guys applaud together. In short, comrades should not hide what they have to say in the speeches they are waiting for, and do not be afraid of making mistakes. ”
This Wang Wenju is worthy of being a good hand in ideological and political work, and his remarks immediately caused the three platoon commanders and several squad leaders attending the meeting to lay down their heavy ideological burdens.
However, Sun Lei, who is neither a platoon commander nor a squad leader, just an ordinary soldier, and a recruit who has just joined the army for more than two months, has always been like a person who has nothing to do.
After almost a minute passed, Niu Tiezhu, the squad leader of the first platoon of three companies who usually like to show himself in front of people, whether it is fighting or eating, is more active than ordinary people, and hesitated for a long time, and finally raised his right hand at this time.
"Very good, Comrade Niu Tiezhu, you will be the first person to eat crabs first, and tell me what you think in your heart." Instructor Wang Wenju saw Niu Tiezhu, who was usually not good at words, and after he took the lead in raising his hand, he immediately said with a pleasant face.
Niu Tiezhu, who was about to speak, suddenly heard the instructor say this after putting down his right hand that he had just raised high, he first looked around for a while before standing up, and said with a confused face: "Crab? Where are the crabs? Instructor: I just looked at the surrounding environment, and there are no crabs at all, why did you just say that I was the first person to eat crabs? ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone else at the meeting couldn't help laughing, but Wang Wenju, who was the instructor just now, said something first, and if someone said something wrong in the process of speaking, others were not allowed to laugh at it.
As a result, all the participants present felt very ridiculous about this, and everyone else also stubbornly stifled their strong laughter, but only Sun Lei, who was a recruit soldier, laughed out loud without concealment at this time.
"Hey, Sun Lei, you monkey cub. Didn't I say in advance that you should not laugh at the speeches of the participants. It's only been a few minutes, and you've been left behind by you, so you quickly shut your mouth for me, and don't laugh anymore. ”
As the host of this meeting, instructor Wang Wenju pointed with his finger, sat not far away while laughing, while patting Sun Lei, who had a black face, and said in a serious tone.
Sun Lei, who stopped laughing after almost ten seconds, defended himself: "Instructor, I didn't laugh at the Niu squad leader who spoke just now, I just felt funny from the bottom of my heart, and ridicule and funny don't mean the same thing." ”
Regarding Sun Lei's defense, Wang Wenju naturally didn't buy it, and immediately said angrily: "You monkey cub, you are obviously arguing for yourself, if you are disobedient, see how I and Company Commander Zhao will clean you up." ”
As soon as he heard the instructor say that he was going to clean himself up with the company commander Zhao Yifa later, Sun Lei, who was fearless just now, immediately obediently obeyed, restrained the smile on his cheeks, and closed his mouth.
The old people of Sanlian all know that Niu Tiezhu was born as a poor child, and he used to be just a sheep herding baby in a remote mountainous area, and at the age of eighteen, he followed the Eighth Route Army that passed through their village to participate in the revolution, and then he became a revolutionary soldier.
Due to the perennial southern and northern wars, Niu Tiezhu, who had never even gone to school for a day, only relied on the literacy class in the army to learn some words, and he was confused about the use of some many words, and naturally this time was no exception.
As an instructor, Wang Wenju patiently gave Niu Tiezhu, who was confused and self-deforming, and moved him with reason and affection, which made him understand what the meaning of "eating crabs" was.
Niu Tiezhu, who suddenly came to his senses, was originally going to speak, but after making this big joke, he couldn't even say a word after he had typed the draft before.
As for the other platoon commanders and squad leaders who spoke next, almost all of them had the same opinion, either saying that they would find some places with more vegetation and march while hiding, or they would bring the white linen clothes they carried with them, so that people would not be easily spotted when they walked in the heavy snow.
None of the speeches made by the participants were satisfactory to company commander Zhao Yifa and instructor Wang Wenju.
After all, it is still unknown whether there will be many places with grass and trees on the way from them to Guitou Cave, and the rest is not to be discussed.
As for the fact that every soldier wore white linen clothes with them, it was still useful when they entered the DPRK to fight in the beginning, but now the US fighters flying in the air have learned to approach and reconnoitre, and each pilot is equipped with a high-powered telescope.
If they swagger on the snow, their true identities may be revealed at any time, and naturally they are not advisable.
The three platoon commanders and the squad leaders who attended the meeting all spoke, but there was only one person who did not speak on this matter, and this person was Sun Lei, a recruit soldier attending the meeting.
And Wang Wenju, an instructor who is good at observing and meticulous details, soon discovered this problem, so he cast his eyes on Sun Lei, who was sitting not far away, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from his mouth.
Coincidentally, the company commander Zhao Yifa also discovered this same problem, and his bloodshot eyes also followed the instructor Wang Wenju to focus on Sun Lei's body, pinning the last hope on the two of them.
"Sun Lei, you monkey cub, everyone else here just now spoke enthusiastically and actively, but only you kid didn't say a word. I just want you kid to come to this meeting, I want to hear if it's a good way for you kid. ”
Seeing that Sun Lei, who was sitting not far away, was reluctant to take the initiative to speak, Wang Wenju, as the host of the meeting, immediately pointed his finger at him and asked in a fierce voice.
Facing the instructor's questioning, Sun Lei, who was still thoughtful just now, came to his senses, first waved his hand, and said unhurriedly: "Instructor, don't worry, let me think about it again, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I'm not afraid of being late for a good meal, don't be impatient, don't be impatient." ”
After waiting for about two minutes, Sun Lei, who was still thinking about it for the last time, caught a glimpse of a soldier wearing a thick cotton coat of the Korean army sitting more than 20 meters away, and suddenly stood up with a "soar", and spit out four words from his mouth with great excitement: "Pretend to be the Korean army!" ”
