Chapter Twenty-Three: Helping Cooks, the Fine Tradition of the Revolutionary Army

Different from the big duty day in front of the building, the tolerance of each student is on duty, and there is a small duty day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What is a small duty day? It's to go to the cooking class to help cook.

The soldiers of the cooking class have to get up at four o'clock every morning to make breakfast, and it is actually hard enough to cook three meals a day.

Therefore, in normal times, especially on holidays, a few people from each squad of the company or district team are sent to the cooking class to help the cooks work.

Let's talk about the small duty day first, every day on the small duty day, about ten minutes before the start of the meal, a comrade from each class will make the food of the class in advance, and then help the cooking class clean up the dishes and chopsticks of the class, clean the dishes and bowls of the cooking class, and come back after cleaning.

Today happened to be Yang Wenbin's turn to be on duty, and he had a busy day and felt a lot.

Originally, the study and training tasks during this period were very heavy, and all subjects had to be examined, so it took time to review. No one's time wants to be occupied.

But there is no way, the small duty is the tolerance that this class must have.

Due to the fact that he had not practiced in the queue for a long time, his queue level had dropped significantly, especially the kicking step.

Yesterday, during the morning exercise queue training, he was called out of the queue by the shift leader on duty alone, and he kicked two times alone, but he himself didn't understand what was wrong? Whether it was because his legs were not raised high enough, or if his arms were not in the right position, he did not know.

He was very aggrieved at that time, and the tears that were not angry fell down at that time. At this time, I had to hide my embarrassment, I couldn't wipe it with my hands, and I had to make a movement reluctantly, so I could only let the tears fall silently on my body and on the ground.

When he came back from the, in the cafeteria, he thought a lot, why did he have to get along with himself and suffer this sin?

If you don't choose to come to the army, you may be eating breakfast leisurely in the cafeteria of a high school faculty at the moment, and then go to the office during the day to prepare for classes, prepare lesson plans for world history and Chinese history that you are familiar with, and give history lessons to high school students.

Since it is not a major subject, there will be a limited number of sessions a week, where will you be so tired as now?

My thoughts still couldn't get rid of this emotion, chewing on steamed buns, tears flowing.

After the exercise this morning, he hurried to clean up his housekeeping.

When he came back from the exercise, cleaned up the quilt, laid out the sheets, brushed his teeth, and washed his face, he had already heard the shift leader shouting "Little duty to eat".

Then, together with the small duty days of each class, he lined up to go to the cooking class.

Cooking class, by this time the meal has been prepared.

Breakfast is relatively simple, just steamed buns, rice porridge, and a few pieces of bean curd.

Yang Wenbin took the bowls and chopsticks of his class, first arranged the chopsticks in front of each person's seat, and then put a few spoonfuls of porridge in each person's bowl and placed them next to the chopsticks. Then beat a plate of steamed buns with a plate and put it on the table. By the time he was done with all this work, he could already hear the team outside the cafeteria singing a song before the meal!

After eating, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then take a basin to wash it and put it in the disinfection cabinet.

Breakfast is relatively simple and quick to clean up, while lunch is a lot of work due to the large number of meals.

At noon. Yang Wenbin entered the cooking class with the team on duty.

Today's lunch includes braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, eggplant box meat segments, and stir-fried meat with melon slices.

The dishes are hearty, but if they are divided into everyone's bowls. There aren't a few pieces.

Yang Wenbin, when he walked to the cooking class to look for a plate, he saw the cooking class, the little fat soldier holding a bowl full of braised pork and all lean meat, eating greedily there, raising his head from time to time, looking out vigilantly, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.

Yang Wenbin was very angry in his heart. That is, in the dining hall, it is said that there is a plate of braised pork per table, but there are ten people at a table, and each person will get one or two pieces of meat.

And he is a little warrior, and he eats a plate by himself, which is too arrogant and unfair!

"Everyone is so tired from training, and it is difficult to even eat this little bit. He doesn't participate in the training in the cooking class, why does he eat so much? No wonder you'll get fat, dead fat pig! He cursed in his heart.

Speaking of which, most of these college student cadres are lieutenant platoon commanders, and they are also cadres of all sizes, so they should have some status.

When Yang Wenbin first came, he felt that at least he was about the same status as a team cadre, right?

But at the Army Academy, it's the opposite.

The highest status is the instructor, then the cadres of the major teams, then the soldiers of the major teams, and finally these students from the grassroots units in all directions.

After eating, Yang Wenbin, like other small duty days, poured the leftovers into the trash. Put away the dishes, chopsticks, and plates, wash them, and put them in the sterilizer. Then, he was ready to go out.

"Stop, you want to leave before you finish your work? Come here, come here, come here! Take the trash can away! "The little fat warrior who had gobbled up meat just now stopped them.

"Why? Isn't that what your cooking class does on its own? Originally, Yang Wenbin was very angry when he saw that the soldiers in the cooking class were stealing food, but now when he saw that he had arranged additional tasks for the little duty, he took the lead in questioning.

"Yes! Aren't you all carrying this garbage every day, how can you let us throw it away today? We'll have to hurry back, and the training will start in a moment. Other small duty days also followed. In the past, he dared to be angry with this warrior, but now that someone has picked the leader, he echoes the attack.

"Don't do it, do you?" The little soldier said to a few of them menacingly, "You wait, I'll go to the secretary!" Then he walked away with a grunt.

Here, the students led by Yang Wenbin didn't pay attention to this stubble, turned around and left the canteen.

The afternoon was spent on pistol shooting training.

After the submachine guns were practiced, they successively trained heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and pistols.

The shooting class completed its last test on Wednesday - 100-meter light machine gun shooting. There are only 3 items left to understand, such as a heavy machine gun, a pistol, and a four-O bazooka. The pistol they used for training was a 54-style pistol, finalized in 1954, with a total length of 195 mm, a weight of 0.85 kg, and a load of eight rounds. Muzzle velocity 420 m / s, caliber 7.62 mm, effective range 50 m.

The aiming and firing essentials of a pistol are basically the same as those of a submachine gun. However, due to the relatively short barrel, this requires more arm strength. That is to say, aiming accurately does not necessarily mean hitting accurately; If you can't aim accurately, then you are even more likely to hit inaccurately.

With the pistol flat in your hand, your left eye is squinted, and your right eye points the crosshair and notch in a straight line towards the target. Yang Wenbin practiced for a while, and he felt that his arm began to ache terribly, and he had to stop and rest for a while.

On the basis of yesterday's aiming training, a live-fire experience of the 54-style pistol was conducted in the afternoon.

When I first fiddled with the pistol, I felt very fresh and full of mystery. In particular, according to the method taught by the instructor, it was broken down in three times and five to two, and a sense of conquest arose in my heart, and I felt that it could be dominated in my own hands.

Today, when he took five bullets to see how he was practicing, Yang Wenbin took a step forward, squinted his left eye, and according to the gun, aiming, and firing, with a "snap", the gun body shook violently backwards and upwards, and after five consecutive shots of "pop, snap, snap, snap", with the command of the commander of the shooting place, he put down the gun with hope to see how many rings he hit, and was stunned.

I looked left, I looked right, I searched in the east, I looked in the west, and I didn't even find an eye on the target.

What a frustration! Where did all the five bullets go?

This is his first "duck egg" since training.

Through live fire with a pistol, Yang Wenbin realized that even if he devoted himself to training, it was difficult for him to make excellent results due to the short time.

If you want to make a difference, you have to find a new way.

When it was dinner time, Yang Wenbin came to the dining hall with the small duty team.

When he arrived at the dining hall, he took a special look at the trash can left at noon and found that it was empty.

And the little fat warrior, although he didn't have to look at him squarely, didn't make it difficult for him, as if the noon incident had never happened.

Yang Wenbin is not a person who is looking for trouble.

He even regretted that it didn't matter if he helped the little soldier empty the trash can at noon. Why are there so many students on duty on your own day? I don't care about that. He was just angry, the little fat warriors ate meat by themselves, and commanded them to work with the arrogant appearance of his childhood.

In the evening, it's time for free time. The district captain found Yang Wenbin and called him to his office.

Then ask him what happened at noon?

Seeing that the district captain asked about this, Yang Wenbin did not hide it, so he told the district captain about the facts he saw.

He thought the district captain would criticize him harshly.

But instead of criticizing him harshly, the district captain patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you all doing?" What is the strength of a future dignified lieutenant officer against a small soldier? I see, he has his faults, and you have your faults. What about so many people? It's you, why don't others squeak?

It's gone. The secretary told me about it, and I also learned about the incident with other small duty days.

Next time, you have to be careful not to be so impulsive.

"Yes, District Captain, you are right, I understand my mistake! When I get back, I'll talk to the little warrior when I have the chance. Yang Wenbin expressed his attitude and walked out of the district captain's room.

Because of this week's cooking, I was very nervous every day, I had to clean up before and after meals, and I had to bring my equipment to the mountains and fields to go to class immediately after I came back. It's been a week since I borrowed a book from the library and I haven't turned a few pages yet. And there will be a class exam next Monday, and there is a lot of content. There is very little time for revision, and it is indeed very difficult to master digestion in class.

"The rest of the time must be grasped, face everything seriously, and do 'there is someone in the heart, something in the eyes'", Yang Wenbin secretly determined.

The critical stage of training has come, persistence means victory, we must hold on, do our best.
