Chapter Twenty-Four: Lonely as Snow
Approaching the Spring Festival, after nearly three months of training, the recruits have already practiced well, but the queue is still a little behind.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Xia Jun took turns to give the soldiers and the personnel of various departments of the security regiment a holiday, and only one platoon was left in the barracks.
At this time, it suddenly snowed in Dragon Village.
It was a relatively cold year, and Xixiang was located in a mountainous area with a relatively high altitude, so the snow was very common, and the residents of the village did not make much of a fuss.
The barracks were empty, Xia Jun didn't know what to do, looking at the snowflakes falling outside, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, his heart was suddenly lonely to death.
If you hadn't crossed it yourself, you might be having a happy New Year with your parents! and then was dragged by those classmates to KTV as a night audience.
After decades of hard work, he returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.
Xia Jun suddenly thought of this crooked sentence, and couldn't help laughing, and soon looked at the snowflakes outside, and his heart was difficult to calm down, could this be the price of crossing.
Maybe!
God gave him, an angry young man, a chance to change history, and also took away the most important part of his life.
Emptiness and silence!
Sure enough, it was as lonely as snow.
Xia Jun found that he lacked a sense of home, strictly speaking, he was now a homeless person.
Li Shijing's delicate spirit came to mind, and she wondered if she should become a family, and it would not be so cold to have a home.
Xia Jun smoked a cigarette while eating the high-end snacks and drinks exchanged in the system.
In this winter, powerful substances still can't warm Xia Jun's heart.
Soot and confetti were scattered all over the ground......
……
"Commander, please come over to the council."
"What are they telling me to do? And to repair the toilet again? Xia Jun was stunned when he heard that the group of squires in the council were looking for him. The last time those guys repaired the toilet and took 5,000 yuan from his pocket, the tax was not confiscated and he had to invest, and he now has no stable income, in case of financial problems, he has no place to file for bankruptcy, which is naturally very unhappy.
"No, it's not." The guard almost laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly straightened his expression and said, "They said that they would come and celebrate the New Year with you, and it would be lively together." ”
"Oh!" Xia Jun nodded, his heart suddenly felt warmer, and he took a group of guards to the parliament building, which was originally a theater in the village and was requisitioned by the autonomous council.
Those squires obviously knew that Xia Jun was homeless, so they discussed it privately for a while and decided to come to Long Village to spend the New Year with Xia Jun.
Those squires also respect Xia Jun very much, although the head of the regiment is young, but the ability is really not small, not only let Xixiang be autonomous, but also love the people, this year Xixiang also built a road, after the New Year in the township to run a new school, but also to provide them with high-yield rice seeds.
Xia Jun was very moved in his heart, thinking that since these guys came to celebrate the New Year with him, they would not pursue the matter of repairing the toilet.
A group of squires accompanied him on Chinese New Year's Eve in Long Village for the first day of the new year, and the council was in session for most of the two days, and the squires of each village originally asked Xia Jun to send them people to hunt wild boars, and Xia Jun moved out the matter of training the militia.
Like the autonomy of the rural areas, one of the most important functions is to train the militia, which is a merit worth learning, and after the security regiment stepped onto the stage of history, there must be a battle with the capital, and what Xia Jun needed was elite soldiers.
At present, the Manchu Qing Dynasty followed the example of local autonomy and learned from nondescript behavior. However, Xia Jun's practice of rural autonomy is very different from that of Yueben.
After discussing the proposal for the village warriors for a long time, it was decided that each village would concentrate on the young and strong during the agricultural slack time, and the security regiment would issue weapons to them, and the training personnel would be dispatched to each village to train the village warriors.
In the matter of fighting wild boars, the security team will send some people to each village, and when the villagers in each village are almost trained, then solve it themselves!
Wild boars are very rampant in these years, often arching the crops of villagers. And the villages don't have a very good way to deal with it, and it's too dangerous to fight with that old-style shotgun.
Xia Jun has a plan to train snipers, that is, to issue shotguns to young people with good physical fitness and certain talents.
Anyway, there are so many prey in the mountains, there are wild boars, pheasants, muntjacs, goats, eagles, jackals, rabbits, and enough targets for them to practice marksmanship.
Usually they are doing some camouflage training, basically a good sniper, once they expand their army, there are also many good marksmanship sources to recruit.
……
After the Spring Festival, the soldiers of each company returned one after another, and the anti-bandit operation began, Xia Jun divided the two companies into six squads and sent them out.
Each platoon was equipped with one telegraph operator and two instructors.
The telegraph operator is responsible for liaising with the headquarters, and the instructor is responsible for strengthening ideological education, supervising military discipline, and registering military exploits.
In terms of equipment, the platoons were equipped with Springfield rifles, as well as Spring sniper rifles, a number of grenades, two three-wheeled motorcycles equipped with Makqin heavy machine guns, and a bicycle for ordinary soldiers.
A lot of soldiers don't know how to ride a bicycle yet, but that's okay, some have time to practice. The equipment was in place, the training was almost over, and the six platoons headed for their respective areas of responsibility.
Xia Jun was so lonely that he decided to go to the county seat to see Li Shijing, this is the era of arranged wedding banquets, the so-called first strike is strong, and then the first attack suffers, if the speed of his own action is slow, then he will not regret to die.
……
In Jian'an County, in the Li family's mansion, Li Shijing was very depressed, and she stayed in the room looking at the newspaper angrily, and a middle-aged man walked in.
"Daddy, I'm going to go out." Li Shijing got up and grabbed the middle-aged man's arm and said coquettishly.
"Don't go, Dad doesn't know where you want to go." Li Shilin pulled his face and refused directly, "Xia Jun, that security regiment in Xixiang, you don't want to provoke." ”
"Why!" Li Shijing said urgently.
"No, no, no."
