CHAPTER XXII
Bai Baoxiang and the others chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they had already walked to the door of the base headquarters. The commander of the Yancang base is Chen Yu, and the political commissar of the base is Jiang Li. Chen Yu and Jiang Li were not there, only a regiment of political commissars Li Juesi was waiting there.
"Where are the recruits trained?"
Li Juesi knew what Bai Baoxiang was worried about, and he reported that he had just spoken to Chen Yu and Shui Wuxian, and that everything was normal with the team, they had rushed back from Cen Gang, and they should be able to return to the base at seven o'clock, and Jiang Li had already gone to meet him with the car in charge of containment.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, there was still a trace of setting sunset in the western sky, and Wang Erzhu drove out of the base in a car. There are also Jiang Li and Liu Yunpeng sitting in the cab, Liu Yunpeng is Wang Erzhu's master, and he sits in the co-pilot's position to protect the car.
Liu Yunpeng was originally a driver of the logistics company, he was born in a technical school, he loves all vehicles, several cars of the logistics company were scolded by him n times, and the car can be repaired as quickly as possible.
The car walked along the newly paved flat road and soon became the post road. The post road between Dinghai and Cen Gang has long been in disrepair, and the car is bumpy up and down. By this time it was already dark, the mountain road was very narrow, and there were lush mountains and forests on both sides, and the two headlights of the car illuminated the way forward in the dark night.
Jiang Li instructed Wang Erzhu, who was driving, "Slow down and pay attention to safety!" β
Wang Erzhu has been learning to drive for several months, although he has already flown solo, but he has not walked the mountain road this night. Seeing Jiang Li commanding himself expressionlessly, Wang Erzhu suddenly became nervous.
Wang Erzhu didn't know what Jiang Li said, he just "um", his hands clenched the steering wheel, his eyes stared ahead, and he didn't dare to be distracted at all.
"Relax, relax! , the muscles in your hands are all stiff, how to drive. Liu Yunpeng knew that Wang Erzhu was a little nervous, so he relieved his pressure, "Don't be nervous, driving at night is not much different from driving during the day, the main thing is to concentrate on it." β
Liu Yunpeng turned his head to Jiang Li and said, "Political commissar, I want to give you an opinion. You keep a straight face all day long, recruits see it, and everyone doesn't get nervous when they see it. As the chief of political work, he should be with Yan YuesΓ¨, like when I was an armored soldier, our instructor was a smiling tiger. β
"Ugh." Jiang Li touched his playing card-like face, and said with some self-deprecation, "Get used to it, I should have been a Jinyiwei." β
After the crossing, Liu Yunpeng has been engaged in vehicle driving, repair, maintenance and other work, and now the Yancang base is mainly responsible for the training of indigenous drivers, and sometimes he also makes a cameo appearance as a teacher in the officer training class of Guozixue.
Because of very little contact, Jiang Li has never known much about Liu Yunpeng's situation, and he asked Liu Yunpeng with some surprise, since he was born in an armored army, why didn't he sign up to be an officer in the army.
"Not interested!" Liu Yunpeng shook his head, "We have also done the armored corps of the 38th Army, and that is the trump card of the trump card." It is too bad to let a mechanized infantry turn into a dirt road, and go to stumble and climb every day, and run long distances. β
Jiang Li saw that Liu Yunpeng's more and more outrageous he said, so he hurriedly stopped it, "Talking nonsense, pay attention to your words and deeds." β
With a snap, Liu Yunpeng slapped his mouth lightly, he knew that he had made a big mouth mistake again, and in front of a native, he told all the 38th Army, what Tubalu and so on.
He sneered and told Jiang Li that he had a slight jing~suo jing~ varicose pulse and couldn't run long distances, so he could only work as a car driver's coach first.
Ahh Jiang Li nodded noncommittally, I see, but this jing~Suo Jing~ varicose pulse problem may affect fertility, he glanced at Liu Yunpeng, but did not say anything.
The gas-powered car has no gasoline and diesel power, Wang Erzhu drove the car along the cobblestone ancient post road, panting and finally going up the hill, and swaying down, the two headlights shone all the way to the foot of the mountain.
About three kilometers from here, there is a long procession running through the mountain road, and there is no end in sight, like a long dragon rushing through the clouds and mist covered mountains.
Longshan Leopard and Zhang Yiba led the second company to walk at the front of the team, and no one in the team made any noise, only the sound of footsteps, the friction of arms and clothes, and the sound of small stones colliding with each other in the bullet belt. Although they had been marching for more than two hours, the brothers of the second company were still in high spirits, all of them holding the steel gun on their shoulders with one hand and the other arm held high, their eyes fixed on the front.
"It's getting dark, do you want to order two pine seeds?" Zhang Qiba asked Longshan Leopard, "If you can't see the road clearly, the speed will slow down." β
"It's okay, no matter how fast the recruits are, they won't be able to keep up." Longshan Leopard looked back, and the swarthy team of recruits behind him was about to be pulled down more than fifty meters, and he ordered the front row, "Hold down your steps, don't pull the recruits down." β
The 2,000 recruits of the training camp followed behind the second company, and the ten recruit companies marched in a long line in a four-way column.
The recruits all wore blue sè training hats and blue sè training uniforms, leaning on yellow satchels and military water bottles, wearing armed belts around their waists and liberation shoes. Each person carried a simulated gun with a wooden stick and an iron bar, and hung a bullet bag diagonally on the left and right sides of his chest, and each bullet bag was filled with small stones; In addition to the rolls of the suit, the accompanying backpack also contained four bullet boxes (each containing small weighted stones), a multi-purpose waterproof military coat (which can be used as a raincoat, field bedding and shroud) and a backpack with spare boots, as well as two days of rice - which was cooked in a military lunch box if necessary.
The backbone of the training camp team is a camouflage uniform, carrying guns and ammunition, and is fully armed and dressed like an army unit.
Of the 2,000 recruits, 1,800 were selected from the 5,000 construction army that built the Yancang base, and 200 were from the Qingpu Xiaodao Society who came from Shanghai. It was just a rapid march of more than three hours, and one by one was a little tired, and the distance between the soldiers was basically about one meter, and the team was about 500 meters long, like a long dragon marching through the mountains.
"Step on the thighs, hear no, step on the thighs." The first company of recruits is the vanguard of the recruit camp, and in the dark, the company commander of the first company of recruits, Sergeant Zhao Enough, saw a soldier walking with his legs and hurriedly stopped him.
Zhao Goudan was originally the deputy platoon commander of the first regiment, and the training camp trained 2,000 recruits at once, and the backbone was not enough, so more than a dozen backbones were transferred from the first regiment and the Haijing team, including Zhao Goudan.
This warrior is from the small knife club from Shanghai, although he corrected it, the strange words of the prison sΔo also came out, "Evil damn door, how to walk comfortably, I know myself." β
Some of the members of the Knife Society in the queue also cheered.
"He's nΗinΗi, he has to talk about science when he walks, and the company commander is for your good." The platoon commander Bao Desheng was originally the leader of the Little Knife Club, with a strong body and a violent temper.
The recruits even watched brainwashing educational films every night, and the recruits watched a lot of propaganda videos about science, and Bao Desheng, who was a rough man, also talked about science with his mouth shut.
After the knife club entered the salt warehouse base, most of the strong people successfully entered the recruit camp for training, Zhou Xiuying, Zhou Feixia, Tan Fusheng, Lin Aming and other leaders were sent to the military and political study class of Qinglongwei on Dunan Island to study, Bao Desheng was unwilling to go to any military and political study class, so he stayed in the recruit training camp as a platoon commander.
Zhao had the courage to raise his voice and start propaganda, "Platoon Leader Bao is right!" Everything in heaven and earth pays attention to one way, and there are avenues, small paths, evil paths, and righteous paths. The right way is science, and we should pay attention to science and the right way in everything we do. β
"Brethren, walking with your legs lifted is a muscular exertion, which can exercise everyone's spirit, which is the right way. Walking with our feet is a force on the joints, and all the bumps on the road are borne by the joints, which is very harmful to the body, which is an evil way. We will go back to the camp immediately, and there will be an hour at most, that is, half an hour, and everyone will get up, straighten their chests, and walk according to the scientific method. Zhao was bold enough to trot all the way, agitating from the back all the way to the first platoon of the company.
Shui Wuji, who was walking in front of the new barracks, turned around and greeted, "Zhao Goudan, yes, now he looks like a chief." β
"Report to the head of the group, my name is Zhao Enough now, not Zhao Dogdan."
"Zhao is brave enough?" Shui Wuxian nodded, "To fight a war is to be bold, and to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty is to be bold." It's a good name, when did it change. β
Zhao was bold enough to say twice, "This name was given by Commander Chen, and Commander Chen said that I am the company commander under her, and there should be a loud name, so ~~"
"Chen Yu's change?!" Shui Wuxian shook his head, this girl still has this interest.
"What, isn't it good that I changed this name?" Chen Yu's voice came from behind, and she strode after the meteor from behind.
This girl also came up, Shui Wuxian didn't respond to Chen Yu, he just asked about the situation behind.
"Nothing serious!" Chen Yu told Shui Wuxian that a few recruits who were physically exhausted and not very injured fell behind, and the third army company that walked in the rear cut a few pillars, made several stretchers, and carried them all on.
Seeing two bright lights on the hill in the distance, the brothers of the Second Company knew that this was the car that greeted them, and their progress became more steady.
Seeing the car lights in the distance, Chen Yu snorted twice, she turned her head to look at Shui Wuxi, "Your group hasn't been ambushed yet, right?" Want to try it? β
Chen Yu's words raised Shui Wuji's interest, come to an ambush, and see the rapid reaction ability of the troops, this can be had!
"That's no problem, I'm afraid these recruits won't have time to hide." He pointed behind him.
"If you don't try, how do you know if they can do it." Saying that, Chen Yu asked Zhang to dare to quickly order the troops, immediately stop advancing, and hide on both sides of the road.
This is a hilly area, and there are trees, shrubs and wild grasses on both sides of the road. More than 2,000 people soon quietly dispersed to both sides of the post road, hiding in the dense mountain forest, behind the half-man-high grass, and lay down on the spot.
Shui Wuxian stood on the side of the road, and when he saw that in less than five minutes, all the personnel were hidden, and he raised his thumb, "Commander Chen, your 2,000 people are really good, a bit like a finger." β
"Less nonsense." Chen Yu looked at the headlights that were getting closer and closer, "Quick, let's flash too!" β
Chen Yu and Shui Wuxian leaned over behind the weeds, watching the dazzling light of the car's headlights pass over the thick and dense grass, listening to the car panting and rumbling past.
Jiang Li, Liu Yunpeng, and Wang Erzhu didn't find that there were more than 2,000 people in ambush in this mountain forest. The car continued to drive forward and walked for another while, Jiang Li felt that something was not quite right, "Stop!" β
Wang Erzhu was startled, and he quickly stopped the car.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yunpeng asked.
"There seems to be something strange about this journey." Jiang Li jumped out of the car and looked at the ground by the bright light of the headlights, "The weeds on the road have traces of trampling by large troops. β
Liu Yunpeng said disapprerovingly: "A large army of more than 2,000 people passing by here, of course, will leave traces. β
Jiang Li turned his head to look at the road he came from, "Compared to the road just now, don't you think that this place has been trampled on even more!" β
Liu Yunpeng suddenly said, "Yes, Commander Chen rushed back with his troops, he must have already passed here!" He looked up at the mountain road he had just come over, and scanned the dark mountain forest.
Jiang Li nodded approvingly, "That's right, they should be hiding in this mountain forest." β
As soon as Jiang Li's words fell, the mountain forest not far behind the car sounded the whistle of "toot~toot~toot~to~" assembly.
In the darkness, figures jumped up from the hidden places on both sides of the road and quickly ran onto the post road.
"One, Two, Three, Four"
"Two-one, two-two"
"Full five!"
The sound of each company assembling to report the number was intertwined and resounded in the night sky.
Chen Yu was very satisfied when he saw that all the personnel had arrived, "Let's go!" β
"Wait a minute!" Shui Wuxian stopped her, "Let the wounded get into the car first." β
"Toot ~ Toot ~" Two car horns sounded, and Wang Erzhu drove the car to turn around and catch up. After the wounded were loaded into the car, the troops continued to set off, and when they entered the salt warehouse base, it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.
