Chapter 10: The Wisdom of the Old Squad Leader
When I feel the tears, I hate the birds,
The Red Army crossed the Chishui four times and jumped out of the enemy's encirclement and survived the greatest difficulties, and all the officers and men breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they were safe for the time being.
In this battle, Mao Zedong's military command ability also initially entered the hearts of all the officers and men, and everyone firmly believed that under the leadership of Chairman Mao, the Red Army would definitely be able to achieve final success.
Time goes by, and it has entered April, Han Xin and Erniu joined the army together, and it has been several months now, although he is still a rookie in general, but at least he is allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Three rows and three shifts.
Xu Bao is doing mobilization work for the soldiers in the squad, or rather, he is teaching battlefield experience, although Han Xin has experienced too many big battles in his previous life, and he does not lack knowledge in this area, but when he saw the appearance of the squad leader Xu Baoer, he thought of the blackened steamed bun again, and he listened to everyone seriously.
Xu Bao is an honest man, even if he is facing his soldiers, his words are unadorned, and he is teaching experience to six or seven recruits, including Han Xin, at the moment.
"Comrades, on the battlefield! Bullets are not long-sighted, human life is very despicable, and if you say no, it will be gone, this is not that I want to scare you, but I want to tell you that you must first hide yourself if you are not ready to attack.
Basically, you have to learn to put a shot and hide it until the gun is loaded and loaded.
So what? Also, the most important thing on the battlefield is not to panic, not to mess up, to obey the orders of the commanders and fighters at any time, and not to be a hero casually before the order, the bullet is not long-eyed, and no matter how hard the hero is, his head can be shattered. ”
Honest people seem to have a good effect when they tell jokes, Xu Bao's words made everyone laugh, but hidden behind everyone's laughter, Han Xin knew that it was a trace of palpitations and gratitude.
After all, although these recruits have developed a certain ability after such a long time of training, in the face of a war like a meat grinder, no one has to worry.
Xu Bao, the squad leader, spoke for a long time, very detailed, and couldn't wait to instill in everyone what he knew.
He is not young, nearly forty years old, the hard military life has left too many traces on his face, the vicissitudes of life and peace on his face are wrinkled like mountains, and his hair is also very messy, but his eyes are bright like a star, embellishing the greatness in the ordinary.
Xu is really old, talking about Xu Bao yawned several times, although he was tired and he didn't mean to stop, the soldiers didn't have half a point of impatience in his sincere and simple words.
Everyone still stood up in unison, and said with a smile The squad leader is tired, Xu Bao laughed, but his heart was warm, "That's so much, the squad leader is stupid, there is nothing to give you ......"
"No, no, you said it very well, squad leader"
"Yes, the class leader's speech always makes me feel ......"
"What?"
"Predict what's going on, and listen to the next breakdown"
"Mr. Storyteller...... "Hahaha, the soldiers laughed and left in the laughter and scolding of the old squad leader, but Han Xin was signaled by Xu Bao to stay.
"Squad leader?" Han Xin was a little puzzled, looking at Xu Bao, who was already tired, and didn't know what the squad leader meant by leaving him alone.
"Xiao Han! Some words are inconvenient to say in front of everyone, so I left you behind, I hope you can patiently listen to the squad leader and I will say a few more words! ”
"Well, squad leader, you say" Han Xin sat up straight, and was still very grateful to the old squad leader Han Xin in front of him who took care of him everywhere.
"I, how can I say it, these are the words that my old squad leader, who treated me as his own son, told me, and now, I want to tell you......"
Xu Bao's words were very light, but Han Xin was shocked, you must know that whether it is in the past life or the next life, or in this life, he has not felt much father's love, his father died in the war very early, and his joining the army now can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business, which is supported by his mother in the family.
Looking at the old squad leader in front of him, who was more than 20 years older than himself, Han Xin's eyes suddenly felt a little sour, how could this not be regarded as his "father"? The same care, the same selflessness......
"Squad leader, if you want, you can treat me as your son", Han Xin was very serious when he said this, and he was the kind of seriousness that could be seen at a glance.
Xu Bao's body trembled a few times, and the wrinkles on his face trembled, and it took a while to stop his excitement, and the relieved old face smiled: "Silly boy, the squad leader is joking with you, why be so serious!" ”
Xu Bao rejected Han Xin euphemistically, not because he was unwilling, but because he felt that he was "unworthy" from the bottom of his heart, but Han Xin's attitude really moved him and was very pleased.
After a moment of silence, the old squad leader's slightly tired voice came out, and said, "Boy, you remember clearly." ”
"With my experience in the past ten years, you are a smart child, and your real ability should be above the command of the rear, just like Zhuge Kongming who held a fan in ancient times, so for you, it is your top priority to save your life on the battlefield.
This is the opinion of the squad leader, don't have any objections first, I know that you are hot-blooded, brave enough not to be afraid of death, and have a good marksmanship (marksmanship was practiced by Han Xin in later generations by drinking bullets), and he likes to rush forward when he fights, which is indeed worth affirming, but the premise is that you are a soldier, because the soldier's mission is to obey orders and charge into battle.
But you have potential, and it's a shame to be a charging soldier, so remember, you can't die, and you have to save your life first on the battlefield.
Charge from both flanks when you are forced to charge, because there the enemy has the least firepower, and the attention is basically drawn to the main force in the middle; When you hear the sound of stabbing shells, lie down and try to hide your body as much as possible; An artillery crater is a place where the enemy generally does not repeat bombardment, and it is possible to hide in it; It's easy not to use a machine gun, the enemy likes to fight the machine gunner......
…… In the end, if you really can't do it, you will pretend to be dead, there are piles of dead people on the battlefield, no one has time to pay attention to a corpse that has been "dead", or run away, it is better to die than to live, doesn't Chairman Mao often run away! Always a word, you have to live ......"
Xu Bao's voice roared for a long time, Han Xin went from gratitude at the beginning to shock, and then to dumbfounded, until the squad leader Xu Bao said the idea of "playing dead", Han Xin almost fell to the ground.
Looking at the simple and honest old squad leader, Han Xin was a little stunned, is this still the third squad leader who is known for his honesty and simplicity?
Until a scolding woke Han Xin up, "Boy, have you remembered everything?" ”
"Mmmmmmmm
But he also knew that the squad leader really had no reservations about him, and you must know that these words would be greedy for life and fear of death on the other hand!
Do not think that the Red Army units can be unscrupulous because they are united, you must know that there is light in even the darkest places, and no darkness can be eliminated in the brightest places, can you know how many people the high-ranking people sacrificed in order to save most lives? And how many deserters were shot?
Always remember that tolerance is not indulgence, but that you have not crossed the line; Peace is not a paradise, but you still have sorrows.
"But what the squad leader said is also very reasonable, in this era of war with thermal weapons, I really have to pay attention to my own life, and if I don't say it's gone, it's not that I'm afraid of death, but that it's worth dying and I'm going to die", Han Xin thought to himself, and deeply imprinted the words of the old squad leader in his mind.
A conversation, it was already the middle of the night, Han Xin said goodbye to the old squad leader and went back to his camp tent, without disturbing the rest of his comrades, Han Xin crept to his small bed.
Anyway, rest well, according to the memories of future generations, I am afraid that tomorrow I will cross the Jinsha River by chance, and the last thought appeared in Han Xin's heart, and he slowly fell asleep.
It can be said to be a "coincidence", who can be sure that there is no bloodshed and sacrifice?
In troubled times, don't think about life too precious......
