Chapter 156: The Old Man Meets
The sound of cars rumbled, all kinds of machinery roared, noisy mixed together, and the roadbed was in full swing for carrying soil and stones. Countless soldiers and migrant workers www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion struggled to open the way with the cooperation of machines. There is blasting in the front, earth and rock clearing in the back, then leveling the roadbed in the back, and finally repairing the road surface. It looks noisy, but it's actually cluttered but not messy. Occasionally, there are a few foreigners holding drawings, all of whom are said to have been sent by the United States and the United Kingdom.
It was in full swing here, but the gunfire in the distance never stopped, and the bits and pieces echoed in the mountains. Battalion Commander Li said that it was the guards who were exchanging fire with the devils to prevent the devils from infiltrating the construction site. Nowadays, it is difficult for devils to infiltrate during the day, but it is still not possible at night, and the little devils will take advantage of the night to penetrate the blind spot and sneak attack the vehicles and personnel at the project site, causing great trouble to the road construction.
As the road continued to extend and the defensive line became longer and longer, the 114th Regiment appeared to be a little tight. Recently, the Japanese army has been attacking very hard at night, and there are daily casualties among workers and soldiers. At this time, the head of the regiment, Li Hong, was coming and would stay for a few days, and it was said that a few days later important figures from the United States and Britain would come to inspect the progress of the project. Commander Li Hong is a forward station, deployed in advance, and ensured the safety of the American and British bigwigs. The personnel of the 114th regiment were tight, so they transferred helpers from the two brother regiments.
According to the requirements of the regiment commander Li Hong, the new helper must be the elite of the elite, not only able to fight and endure hardships, but also have a strong sense of teamwork. Because the distance between the hill and the hill and between the defense zone is too far, it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of the loophole if there is no sense of coordinated operations.
The scrivener and Lao Liu looked at each other, and the regiment headquarters sent him to have a deep meaning, and regarded his company as the most elite force in the regiment. Undoubtedly, this is a great affirmation.
Airplanes...... There was a roar in the air. The scrivener looked up and saw no shadow of the plane. However, my heart is still hanging, such a dense construction crowd, the enemy plane dives down and drops a few bombs, how many people have to be killed! "The devil doesn't have a plane to harass?" He couldn't help but ask.
Battalion Commander Li guessed the scrivener's mind and explained: "No, never." This is also thanks to the US Air Force, the old American fighter jets patrol the air every day, and the planes of the little Japanese do not dare to come. ”
The scrivener let out a sigh of relief, and he couldn't say anything in his heart. Airplanes are such a good thing, sometimes you can see it flying over its head and dropping bombs downwards, but there is nothing you can do. Escorted by Lao Mei's plane, it is equivalent to removing half of the pressure. This is not the case on the domestic battlefield, there is no aircraft cover, the devil's plane is rampage in the air, and the bomb can be dropped wherever it wants, sometimes the battle has not started, and the **** position has been bombed by the plane first. Many soldiers are very aggrieved, how can such an asymmetrical war be fought? When will your own country be able to build an airplane and fight with little Japan in the sky, so that the little devil's plane will not dare to fly around.
"What do you want?" Lao Liu asked.
"It's nothing, I'm wondering when our country will be able to build airplanes." The scrivener replied.
Lao Liu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Build an airplane? We can't even make airplane glass now. ”
Battalion Commander Li also felt the same way, and let out a long sigh: "Alas...... When the little devils are driven away, the industrialists can set up factories with peace of mind, and then they will be able to build airplanes. ”
The three of them were silent for a while, building an airplane, what a distant thing, is it okay in ten years, twenty years, fifty years......
Battalion Commander Li pointed to a hill not far away: that was where the scrivener box was stationed, and the hill next to it was where Lao Liu was stationed. The two hills are located directly south of the project site, like two gates, guarding the entire southern area. It was also the location where the Japanese army often harassed and sneaked up.
Battalion Commander Li said that there is still a line of defense to the south of the two hills, and the scrivener box and Lao Liu are actually at the core of the second line of defense, and once the forward position is lost, they will become the last barrier.
This is the end of the briefing. At this time, the sky was already dark, and Battalion Commander Li asked the scrivener and Lao Liu to lead their respective troops to have dinner first, and then rushed to the defense area with seven days' rations. At that time, the foreign inspectors had already left, and no further surprise attack by the enemy would have caused a bad international impact.
With so many workers and soldiers, eating was a big problem, and when the work was closed at night, the blackened crowd was withdrawn from the construction site, and there was no edge in sight. The cooking class is next to each other, there is a meal every few tens of meters, a large number of people are scattered in each meal, the sound of pots and pans, shouting, and talking are mixed together, and the scene is noisy.
Battalion Commander Li took good care of the scrivener box and Lao Liu, and specially arranged two meals for the two companies, which were specially taken care of by the two cooking squads, so there was no need to crowd.
The scrivener box is the company commander, if he doesn't eat, others don't dare to move, and the usual order of cooking is the first scrivener box, Huo Erguo second, then the platoon commander, and then the soldiers. This is the rule set by the three platoon commanders Lu Shuting, Dong Xuesheng, and Gong Daniu, and no one dares to violate it.
The scrivener went over to cook with a bowl, and I always felt that the cooking class in front of me was very familiar, and most of the people in it had seen it. I quickly remembered that this was not the cooking class of the 3rd Battalion of the 114th Regiment, and I had worked in the class. Soon I saw an acquaintance: Ma squad leader. The one who was with Squad Leader Ma was Platoon Leader Zhao, who was also an acquaintance, and everyone had crossed paths before, but the memories were not so good.
Squad leader Ma also saw the scrivener, this guy was full of embarrassment, standing there uncomfortable. The scrivener box used to be his subordinate, and he didn't yell at people. Now that he has become a company commander, he is still a squad leader.
"Squad Leader Ma, what's the matter, don't you know each other?" Kong Zhaoqiang said with a hippie smile.
"Recognize ...... Recognize ......" The squad leader Ma hesitated, and when he saw that Kong Zhaoqiang had become the deputy platoon leader, his heart couldn't be calm. When he saw Lu Shuting, Gong Daniu, and the little monkey behind him were all platoon commanders, this guy almost collapsed on the ground, and said in his heart What kind of world is this, a group of demon kings have been promoted!
Platoon Commander Zhao was also in a complicated mood, the scrivener box turned out to be a company commander, and the person he used to look down on was now high, one level higher than himself. As for the others, they used to be just ordinary soldiers, but now they have become platoon commanders, on the same level as themselves, oh my God, what kind of world is this, and is there any heavenly reason!
Gong Daniu talked to Platoon Leader Zhao while drinking vegetable soup, "Old Zhao, Platoon Leader Zhao, do you still recognize me?" ”
Platoon Commander Zhao rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that he would recognize you even if he turned to ashes, that time he fought in the cafeteria, this guy was the most ruthless one. Platoon Commander Zhao can be said to be deeply impressed by Gong Da Niu, and the unbearable past is still vividly remembered, how can Gong Da Niu forget the experience of cutting his head with a rice spoon! An iron spoon was sharpened and blood flowed all over his face, and he didn't want to remember that kind of tragic appearance in his dreams.
