On the endless field of the colonel, countless figures in gray military uniforms lined up and practiced in the morning fog, the sound of passwords came and went, and the cold light of bayonets could be faintly seen in the fog.

Chen Zikun squatted beside the mule cart with a rice bowl, watching the army drill with a blank eye, a group of soldiers passing in front of him, neat gray cloth uniforms, leggings and cloth shoes, Hanyang-made rifles on his shoulders, and singing the military song of the Third Division majestically: "Looking at Manchuria in the north, the wind and waves in the Bohai Sea are fierce." I think back then, Jijiang was Liaoshen, and the people were happy. Set up a fence in front of Changbai Mountain, Leh City on the bank of the Heilongjiang River, and now the Japanese are in charge of vertical and horizontal, and the wind and clouds are evil. ”

Wang Degui sat aside, smoking a cigarette pouch, squinting at the dirty big man Chen, and said, "What's the matter, being a soldier is majestic, right?" ”

Chen Zikun nodded like pounding garlic.

Wang Degui smiled proudly: "The soldiers of the third division are not so easy to be, in the end, they are the foundation of the six towns of the old Beiyang, which soldiers are not tempered by thousands of hammers, I think when President Yuan Da was training in the small station, it was even more majestic than now." ”

As he spoke, he hummed a small tune: "The imperial court wants to protect the overall situation of the peace, and the commander will follow the order to practice new exercises......"

Chen Zikun patted his ass and said: "Mr. Wang, in this way, these soldiers are your disciples and grandchildren." ”

Wang Degui gritted his teeth and smiled: "Boy, you are quite good at talking, that's right, don't talk about these soldiers, it's the platoon commander and company commander, and I have to shout the old shed commander when I see me." ”

Chen Zikun blinked and said, "Then why are you still a gang leader?" ”

Wang Degui was furious, took off the soles of his shoes and hit him: "You kid dare to laugh at me, I can't kill you!" ”

Chen Zikun turned his head and ran, Wang Degui chased after him, and suddenly Zhao Junjian appeared and shouted: "What kind of system!" ”

Wang Degui sneered: "This kid is playing tricks, I will teach him a lesson." ”

Chen Zikun also followed the example of a soldier to stand upright, his hands were close to the seams of his trousers, his heels were together, his head was held high, his eyes were looking straight ahead, Zhao Yufeng nodded with satisfaction: "Big man Chen, go to the stable to help brush the horses." ”

"Yes!" Chen Zikun followed the way the soldiers walked and ran to the stable.

Ma Fu's surname is Li, and Wang Degui is an old fritter, there is free labor to call, how could he let go, let Chen Zikun do this and that, carry water and brush the horse, and just sit and watch.

"Yo, boy, I don't see that you have a good set." Lao Li saw that Chen Zikun was skilled in brushing the horse, and praised him.

Chen Zikun smiled honestly: "I used to serve big animals. ”

Lao Li said: "Okay, if you have nothing to do in the future, come to the stables to help me work, I will pass on your two-handed skills, go home and become a veterinarian, and you will eat for a lifetime." ”

Chen Zikun scratched his head: "That's good." ”

……

Unconsciously stayed in the barracks for half a month, Chen Zikun is very accustomed to this kind of masculine military life, and the old fritters in the division headquarters also like this diligent and willing to do the work of the eyes, even ordinary soldiers know that there is such a No. 1 civilian husband, and they like to watch and when they have nothing to do.

Sometimes he also thinks of Lin Wenjing, Yao Yilei, and the Miss Jianbing who has a skin-to-skin relationship with him, whenever he is particularly conflicted, whether to sneak back to Shanghai to find Jianbing, and go to Hankou and Tianjin to live a happy life, or continue to stay in this barracks and find his dreams.

Why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures, Jianbing loves heroes, not cowards, the eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should make a vigorous career, so as to be worthy of this life, the career is there, why worry about not having a beautiful wife, thinking of this, he was relieved again.

The third division is Wu Peifu's soldiers, and Wu Peifu is Cao Kun and Cao Dashuai's people, and Cao Dashuai and Duan Qirui can't pee in a pot, so the third division is raised by the stepmother in terms of logistics treatment, the food is very poor, two meals a day, the soldiers are white rice and pickles, and the officials can only eat a few more eggs.

But this is not difficult for Zhao Junjian, every three or five he goes out hunting to improve his life, after lunch that day, he came out with a rifle, to the door of the gang and shouted in his voice: "Big man Chen!" ”

Chen Zikun was helping Wang Degui pick vegetables, and when he heard the greeting, he hurriedly ran out and stood upright: "Yes!" ”

Zhao Yufeng fiddled with the rifle in his hand and said, "Do you know what this thing is?" ”

Chen Zikun's chest stood tall and replied: "Report to the sir, this is a German-made Mauser Wuzi leaky bottom gun, with a caliber of seven or nine and a weight of seven catties and eight taels. ”

"Damn, you're ruthless!" Zhao Yufeng didn't expect Chen Zikun to answer so fluently, so he threw the rifle over and said, "Carry it, go out hunting with me, this military quartermaster is happy, and I hope to reward you with two bullets to have a good time." ”

Chen Zikun took the gun, his excitement was overflowing, he used the Japanese golden hook rifle when he was a bandit in the Kanto, the old Maozi's water beads, the Germans haven't touched it yet, the Mauser 98 rifle, the walnut butt, the roasted blue shiny, the barrel is slender, much slimmer than the old sleeve made in Hanyang, pick it up and shake, the parts mesh perfectly, there is no noise at all.

The two of them carried their guns up the mountain, walked for a while, and didn't even see a pheasant, Zhao Yufeng scolded: "What's wrong today, do these wild creatures know that Lao Tzu is coming to hunt?" ”

Chen Zikun flattered: "Presumably, the pheasants and rabbits here have been beaten by the chief." ”

Zhao Yufeng said with a smile: "Your kid's kung fu is about to catch up with me." ”

There was no way, so I had to continue to walk deep into the mountains, Chen Zikun had sharp eyes, saw a hare in the distance, and hurriedly pointed it to Zhao Yufeng, Zhao Yufeng tiptoed to take the gun, pulled the bolt and loaded, slammed the shot, the rabbit ran away, he pulled the bolt and shot one after another, after five bullets, I looked at it, and there was not even a rabbit hair.

"The rabbit is injured, chase!" Zhao Yufeng threw the gun to Chen Zikun, pulled out the shell gun on his waist and chased after him, Chen Zikun followed while pressing the bullet into the magazine.

After chasing for a while, he came to a flat place, Zhao Yufeng put a hat on the barrel of a pistol, sweating profusely, steaming, he gasped and said: "Damn, I'm really unlucky today, I didn't hit anything, hey, what is this?" ”

There was a dung heap on the ground, more than three feet high.

Chen Zikun followed from behind, and was shocked when he saw this: "Sir, go quickly!" ”

Zhao Yufeng was puzzled: "What are you going to go?" ”

"This is a boar's den!" Chen Zikun said in a low voice.

Zhao Yufeng was shocked, the mountain boar is a wild boar, this thing is crazy, and the tiger can't do it. was about to retreat, but found that it was too late, and in the trees in the distance, several fierce little eyes flashed with cold light.

Zhao Yufeng came down in a cold sweat, this is a deep mountain and old forest, called every day, eaten by a wild boar, there is not even a bone residue left, he panicked, raised the gun and shot, bang shot for a while, did not kill the wild boar, but angered the other party, a huge body with fangs turned outward male mountain boar rushed over with hooves.

"Damn, why don't you die if you hit it!" Zhao Yufeng clearly saw that he had hit the wild boar, but the other party's shiny and shiny fur seemed to be able to resist the bullet, and he was unscathed after eating a shot, and still rushed over.

It seems that I have heard that wild boars are very intelligent animals, and they like to rub on pine trees, and the bristles are mixed with pine oil to form a layer of hard shell, and the shotgun bullets can slide away when they hit it, and the bullet head of the barge gun is only the size of peanuts, and it is even more helpless!

Zhao Yufeng's legs were weak and he couldn't walk, and suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the male wild boar's braincase exploded into a red cloud, and his hooves fell to the ground.

Next to him, Chen Zikun was holding a rifle, and the muzzle of the gun was curling with green smoke.

The rest of the wild boars screamed and rushed up, and Zhao Yufeng finally woke up, regardless of Chen Zikun, and climbed a pine tree.

Below Chen Zikun still stood calmly and pulled the bolt, the brass bullet shell jumped out with the trajectory of hot gas, the muzzle continued to spew flames, the action was as fast as lightning, the gunfire almost did not stop, the Mauser rifle bullet of seventy-nine millimeters was huge, it was by no means comparable to the folk iron sand shotgun and pistol, the wild boar was shot in the head and died immediately, and the remaining three wild boars were overturned by Chen Zikun one by one.

The sound of gunfire came far away, the birds were alarmed, hovering over the mountains and forests, Zhao Yufeng on the tree wiped his cold sweat and asked Chen Zikun below: "There won't be other fierce beasts here?" ”

Chen Zikun reloaded the bullets below, and replied: "This mountain is definitely gone, there may be tigers on the next mountain, is the chief interested?" ”

Zhao Yufeng said: "Forget it today, next time, next time." ”

Slipped down from the tree and checked the carcass of wild boars, there were a total of four wild boars, one male and three female, all of whom were shot in the head and died, Zhao Yufeng was overjoyed: "There is meat to eat now." ”

turned to look at Chen Zikun blankly: "You kid, why are you so sharp with guns?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "I learned from the chiefs and bosses." ”

Zhao Yufeng was stunned, and then laughed and said: "You can see it, you kid is really a soldier!" Okay, follow my old Zhao in the future, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking. ”

Chen Zikun smiled innocently: "Thank you for the promotion." ”

Four wild boars, two people must not be able to lift, two people with a knife to disembowel the wild boar belly and bloodletting, the pig's head and internal organs are thrown away, only take the fine meat on the ribs of the limbs, just a few pig legs can not be taken away, so they have to be discarded.

"It's a pity, the sauce pops the kidney flowers, and the green onion pops the large intestine are my favorites." Zhao Yufeng was very distressed, in the deep mountains and old forests, as long as the person left, these meats would definitely be eaten by other beasts, even if they were buried, it would be useless.

The two of them carried wild boar on their backs and waded back to the camp, and the division commander saw them hunting wild boars back, and said with joy: "Zhao Junxiu, you can beat this?" I can have a tooth sacrifice tonight. ”

Zhao Yufeng said proudly: "How about it, the marksmanship is okay." ”

Entering the compound of the division headquarters, he was heading towards the gang room, and a veteran came over, bald head and beard, coarse cloth military uniform and leggings, Zhao Yufeng saw it, and immediately raised his head, put his feet together, and shouted: "Lizheng!" ”

Chen Zikun hurriedly followed him to stand upright, standing straight with his hands close to the seams of his trousers.

The old soldier walked over, looked at the wild boar and said, "You hunted?" ”

Zhao Yufeng replied loudly: "Report to the division commander, it is not a lowly hunter, it is a big man Chen who is a cook class." ”
