Zhao Laogen was a sergeant of the 3rd Garrison Brigade, stationed in Malianjing, Gansu Province, near Xinjiang, and their brigade had a small number of personnel, only more than 5,000 men from two regiments. The brigade has very few heavy weapons, only about 20 70 mm caliber infantry guns and 10 machine 37 anti-aircraft guns and a small number of rockets.

As a sergeant, Zhao Laogen has a monthly military salary of 30 yuan, which can only be said to be an ordinary level in an ordinary big city, but Zhao Laogen is very satisfied. In Zhao Laogen's view, a peasant who was originally illiterate was able to rise to sergeant in less than two years after joining the Chahar army, and he could also get another expensive salary every month, which was a good thing that he never dreamed of before. So he was very satisfied, the only regret was that I don't know which turtle son did the ghost, and got him from the 10th Infantry Division to this expensive place to gnaw sand, although there is basically no war here, but it also means that his path to the rise is cut off.

Today is the day of Zhao Laogen's platoon patrol, early in the morning Zhao Laogen gathered the team, seeing that more than 30 brothers in front of him had arrived, Zhao Laogen put the Suomi in his hand to hang on his back, with a flick of his fingers, a cigarette butt crossed an arc towards the newborn morning sun and landed not far away, after a long puff of smoke, shouted, "Brothers, start working!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Laogen took the lead and walked to the east, followed by a long group of heavily armed soldiers. The crowd began to move toward the west.

The team walked for a while, and Sergeant Zhang Wuqiang, the third squad leader, trotted all the way up and walked side by side with Zhao Laogen, and said with a smile: "Platoon leader, why has our patrol suddenly increased in the past two days?" Normally, we would patrol for two hours, meaning "Why do you have to walk all day today?" ”

", don't call me platoon commander! Lao Tzu is the acting platoon leader, understand? Zhao Laogen said angrily: "Have you ever seen a sergeant as a platoon commander?" Lao Tzu was replaced, and when the new platoon commander arrived, Lao Tzu had to go back to be the original squad leader. ”

Zhang Wuqiang shrunk his neck and muttered, "Who told you not to study well, I saw you sleeping when I took cultural classes on weekdays." ”

"What did you kid say?" Zhao Laogen glared at Zhang Wuqiang and scolded: "If Lao Tzu had been educated, he would have been a company commander a long time ago."

It will not take two years to be the current platoon commander, and he is still temporarily acting. Tell you, Lao Tzu got up this morning to withdraw his urine, but it is very yellow, you don't provoke Lao Tzu. ”

Seeing Zhang Wuqiang bowing his head and not saying a word, looking aggrieved, Zhao Laogen couldn't help but take out a cigarette angrily and funny, handed it to Zhang Wuqiang, lit it and said: "Look at your boy's bear-like" Okay, Lao Tzu will talk to you. Didn't you listen to it on the radio two days ago? Sir Su is going to attack that side, so we have to strengthen our vigilance and guard against it, "so as not to let the rabbit cub on the other side do something to us." ”

"Oh! I see! Zhang Wuqiang suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly took two steps forward and walked side by side with Zhao Laogen: "Head, but there is no one on the opposite side of us, and the nearest outpost from us is also thirty miles away." It's not that I look down on them, and I don't dare to take the initiative to touch us if I dare to pick them up! ”

"Call you stupid, you're really stupid!" Zhao Laogen despised this subordinate with a hatred of iron and steel, ""We are not guarding against the outpost in the southwest, but Lao Maozi on the Hami side, three months ago, Sheng Shicai, this bastard, begged Lao Maozi to station a mechanized reinforcement regiment in Hami, and we are guarding against them."

"It's them." Zhao Wuqiang nodded thoughtfully, and then said disdainfully: "This Sheng Shicai is really a bear bag" Knowing that our Chief Su is the least to see Lao Maozi, he dared to ask Lao Maozi to be stationed in Hami, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead. ”

"No!" Zhao Laogen shook his head and said: "I originally heard some brothers in the Tenth Division say that Lao Maozi's combat effectiveness is not bad, and they are also very capable of fighting" They should not be underestimated. Your kid has never been to the national cemetery in Chahar, where tens of thousands of tombstones are densely lined up for the brothers who died in Siberia, that is the glory of the war with Lao Maozi, if you meet Lao Maozi, you have to be careful, "You have to have a few more eyes." ”

Zhao Wuqiang nodded disappreciably, then patted Suomi in his hand, and said with a big grin: "Platoon commander, don't worry, if you really run into Lao Maozi, I will let him taste the power of the guy in my hand." ”

Zhao Laogen sighed, threw away the cigarette butt, shook his head, and walked forward, there are some things that you won't understand if you don't experience it yourself.

The team walked until noon, and came to a small town called Weiya in Xinjiang, which is the destination of the patrol.

It's noon now, and the scorching heat of June in Xinjiang is no joke, the sand under your feet is so hot that you can bake eggs, and the hot sand keeps pouring into the rubber shoes under your feet, scalding people's feet out of bubbles.

Zhao Laogen looked at the team behind him who was panting and sweating, and knew that if he didn't rest for a while, someone would suffer from heat stroke. I had no choice but to order the team to rest for half an hour and then return the same way.

Looking at the staggering team and Zhao Wuqiang, who was taking out a kettle to pour water, Zhao Laogen sighed secretly, after all, the garrison unit is not as well-trained as the old troops of the original 10th Division, and it will not work after only walking for half a day.

Shaking his head, Zhao Laogen mentioned Suomi and walked over to the front to guard. Rubber shoes stepped on the soft and hot sand, a stream of heat from the foot through the head door, took out the kettle and drank a sip of the same hot water, Zhao Laogen raised the telescope and began to observe the movement in front of him.

Weiya Town is a small town of only a few dozen people, since the opening of the cotton passage between Chahar and Xinjiang, there are more people here, and there are always dozens of businessmen passing by on weekdays. But since Chahar announced that he was going to march into Xinjiang, the flow of people here has suddenly decreased.

Now Zhao Laogen is observing the situation of the town with a telescope five hundred meters away, Zhao Laogen climbed a small sand dune, and when he swept the line of sight with the telescope, a group of black and pressed things came into his eyes, "Huh? What's that? Zhao Laogen hurriedly adjusted the focal length of the telescope, and the group of things gradually came into his sight.

A group of earthy yellow things caught Zhao Laogen's eyes, "Hey, that's a tank!" Zhao Laogen exclaimed in surprise.

How can there be tanks here? Zhao Laogen was puzzled, and he didn't believe that Sheng Shicai's local police force could have tanks, so there was only one possibility, and that was the troops of Soviet Russia.

Zhao Laogen adjusted the focus again, yes, the stars on the tank were faintly visible. That is, the Soviet Russian statue 6 tanks, and there are quite a few of them, there are more than fifty of them! There were also thousands of infantry nearby.

Bastard, haven't the Russians always been on Hami's side? Zhao Laogen didn't have time to think about it, put down the binoculars and climbed down the sand dunes, shouting loudly while cannon: "Everyone retreat quickly, there is Lao Maozi's tank troops in front." Retreat! ”。

Following Zhao Laogen's words, the soldiers who were still resting behind the sand dunes quickly stood up in a chaotic manner, and they had never experienced a battle in a hurry, and they hurriedly used their weapons to prepare to retreat.

Saying that it was too late, Zhao Lao ran to the team and shouted loudly for the soldiers to retreat quickly, and at the same time grabbed the walkie-talkie in the communicator's hand and called: "Company headquarters, company headquarters, I am the second platoon, we patrolled to Weiya to find the tank troops of the Soviet Russians and the infantry numbering about 1,000 people, and it is estimated that their target is likely to be our garrison Ma Lianjing." ””

Just when Zhao Laogen and his more than 30 brothers were desperately retreating, the Soviet army in the small town of Weiya had already discovered this small force more than 500 meters away. Under the order of the commander, a small force consisting of more than a dozen tanks like 6 tanks and more than a hundred infantry immediately rushed towards Zhao Laogen and them.

"Hurry up, everyone, hurry up, let's go while Lao Maozi doesn't find out!." Zhao Laogen kept urging the soldiers to hurry.

"Platoon commander, Lao Maozi is coming......" A soldier who looked behind him from time to time shouted at Zhao Laogen breathlessly.

Zhao Laogen looked back and saw that billowing smoke and dust were rolling up less than 500 meters behind, and more than a dozen tanks were rapidly approaching him. Zhao Laogen laughed miserably, knowing that his people couldn't run away, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, we have been discovered, we can't run, stop quickly!" ”。

The soldiers listened and gathered around Zhao Laogen, looking at him with some horror and expectation.

Zhao Laogen took a breath and swallowed his saliva and said, "Brothers, our two legs can't outrun those iron guys anyway." Let's fight with those day-builders right here! ”。

"Platoon commander, can we beat that guy?" One soldier hesitated for a moment and asked,

Zhao Laogen was on fire, and a violent jujube hit him, "Damn, if you can't beat it, you have to beat it, who will chirp crookedly Lao Tzu and kill him!" Zhang Wuqiang, set up the machine gun, two dogs, you take the rocket to the side and ambush it, we will rely on you when the tank comes! ”。

Under Zhao Laogen's arrangement, the soldiers found their own shelter and hid, and the only G42 machine gun was also erected, and the ammunition man hurriedly loaded the machine gun with good bullets, waiting for the arrival of the Soviet tank. ~~~~！ ~！
