Chapter 21 Grant the Field (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
At night, the area of Suifenhe in Dongning County seems very quiet, this remote place that is not inhabited by people, only a dozen kilometers away from the Sino-Russian border, and two months ago, with a force of more than 1,000 people entering this area, this once barren land, suddenly became lively, the wood cut from the mountains became a wooden barracks, and a military camp appeared in this border place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The advent of the barracks even brought life to this wild land - the bazaar came into being near the barracks, and the garrison of the army was always inadvertently changing some affairs.
In the early hours of the morning, the shrill whistle pierced the silence of the camp, and when the assembly post sounded in the camp, the guards outside the camp gate only glanced at the barracks, and still stood motionless at the sentry post.
In front of a row of wooden houses, the platoon leader shouted vigorously in the courtyard:
"The whole company urgently assembles."
"Assemble!"
When the platoon commander on duty shouted the assembly order, the company commander who was pacing back and forth in front of the barracks looked at the pocket watch in his hand expressionlessly.
"Fast, fast......"
The squad leaders who were the first to wake up shouted loudly, and rushed out of the small bedroom in the barracks, and without even looking at them, they stood by the door and looked coldly at the soldiers in the barracks, and those soldiers who were awakened jumped up from their beds and got dressed at a very fast speed, and many of their military uniforms were even put on directly on their heads, so as to save the time of buttoning them, after they were dressed neatly. He quickly rushed to the side of the cabinet and took out his backpack from the cabinet. Unlike wartime backpacks, shirts, underpants, socks, tools, rations, blankets. Now the warriors' backpacks consist only of 10 kilograms of bricks and a raincoat to protect them from the rain.
After putting on the backpacks, the fighters removed their weapons from the gun racks...... This emergency assembly is a daily subject of the combat company, and each soldier has to get up from his bed within five minutes, pack his backpack, put on his guns and ammunition, water bottles, and satchels, and then rush into the playground to stand in line.
Then there is the daily "appetizer" -- 10 kilometers of armed cross-country travel, which is based on the experience of the "Northeast Campaign" to increase the 5-kilometer armed cross-country distance required for peacetime training to 10 kilometers. to strengthen the troops' ability to run long distances.
"Hurry up, you two hurry up!"
Wu Mantun, who had already been up for half an hour before others, helped Li Zishan and Zhang Dali, who were in a hurry, stuck the bayonet and grenade bag in their belts, and then handed them the rifle.
"Zishan, your hat ......"
The three of them were all veterans recruited by the Second Division in northern Jiangsu last year, but Wu Mantun was always behind his ass to take care of the two of them because he was older, and he was two or three years younger than the two brothers around him. It is even more like a brother. He chased after him, and Li Zishan ran after him. Rush into the queue and immediately find your spot and stand in line.
Assemble, rest, stand upright, no extra nonsense, with an order, the company set off, this is the routine training subject of the troops, ten kilometers of armed cross-country, according to the normal training arrangement, one-third of the troops out of the camp training, the rest of the troops stay in the camp, in the camp training ground running exercises.
The company divided into four columns and ran out of the barracks to the dirt road, which was the dirt road stepped by the soldiers' feet, and the grass was full of people on both sides, and the speed of the company's running was gradually accelerating, and the recruits who had just been replenished would be exhausted, and the originally seemingly neat formation began to gradually become chaotic.
Looking at this appearance, the company commander who was running on the side yelled:
"Pay attention to the formation of each class and keep up."
Li Zishan in the queue gasped for breath, struggling to run forward, Zhang Dali fell behind breathlessly, the bodies of the two of them were not strong, in fact, the assessment results of the two of them were always average, and they were never up or down, compared to Wu Mantun, who grew up in the salt field since childhood, his physical strength was much stronger than them.
"Vigorously, give me the gun!"
Wu Mantun, who was panting heavily, took Zhang Dali's rifle and put it on his back, the four-kilogram rifle made him feel heavier on his shoulders, and at this time, another recruit snatched Li Zishan's gun as if he was flattering, but Li Zishan complained.
"You rookie egg, I can carry ...... myself"
While running, shouting, although he was excited, Li Zishan had no idea of taking the gun at all, if it wasn't for the military order, it is estimated that he would want to stuff all the bricks into the recruit's backpack.
"I said, I said big brother, look at this bastard boy, it's really, really embarrassing, we, we're veterans......"
Before Zhang Dali's words were finished, Li Zishan took over.
"Veteran, if you have the ability, don't let Man Tun carry the gun on his back, I said, Man Tun, you will return the gun to him......"
"Man Tun is my eldest brother, what do you let the recruits carry!"
"Hey, look at what you said, this recruit is not a brother, what's the big deal when a brother carries a gun for a brother......"
The two of them shouted word by word, without any scruples, in fact, they are always much more tolerant of the veteran officers, not to mention that these two are also the backbone veterans of the company, although they like to be lazy during cross-country training, but they usually train recruits to be "bad in the womb", and they always add some private dishes to the recruits, as for Wu Mantun, he seems too honest in comparison, so that he can only run forward with his head stuffed there.
Cross-country training was boring, there was no one to encourage it, everything was training under real combat conditions, only the muffled urgings and simple whistles of the company and platoon commanders, and the dust raised by the military boots was stained with soaked uniforms.
While the soldiers were sweating and training in the barracks of the battalion headquarters, they once again examined the order that was about to be issued, which came directly from the military command department of the governor's palace, and the order was very simple - to seek the opinions of all officers and men, whether they were willing to continue to pay the army on a monthly basis, or whether they were willing to ask for land. If you want military salary, then after retirement, in addition to receiving a few more months of military salary. There are no more side benefits. If it's a territory. Even if you retire as a first-class soldier, you can receive twenty acres of land, and if you are a soldier for three years, how can you only be a first-class soldier?
Whether it is Tian or right, not only is it a choice question to be handed over to the soldiers, even as an officer, he has to face such a choice.
"The captain granted 300 to 400 acres of land, depending on the length of service. The service period is equivalent to four acres per year ......"
Looking at the conditions corresponding to him on the document, although he had not yet met the basic requirements for serving as an officer for at least 10 years, he was attracted by the 300 acres of land granted.
"Battalion commander, ten years of service, three hundred acres, and all of them are high-grade cooked land, you will be the real landlord by then!"
The words of Ding Yujie, chief of staff of the battalion, made people think in the bottom of their hearts: In the best days of those years, there were only 30 or 40 acres of land. Now, in eight years, he will be able to have 300 acres of land in the northeast...... I am so. What about the others? I'm afraid that I will be like myself, and I will be bent by the benefits of this future.
"Yumin, you are not much less than me! Otherwise, when the time comes, let's take a look and choose the land closer! ”
Thinking in his heart, he raised his head and looked at Ding Yujie and sighed.
"Not to mention anything else, just the marshal gave us the land so generously, and since then, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, the military heart of our Northeast Army will not be able to move our military heart!"
In the past, this was certainly the case, but it has a lot to do with the deterrence of military law, and now what the brothers are thinking about is to fight desperately for a promotion, as in the Northeast Campaign, after the battle, almost all the soldiers were promoted to the first level, in the past, this level was only a few cents of military salary, but now, this level is a few acres or even a dozen acres, hundreds of acres of land.
"Yumin, when do you think we will tell the brothers about this? At the end of the morning exercise, it's still ......"
"Battalion commander, I think it's better to wait for the afternoon, after the brothers know the news, they will definitely not be able to stop, this training will not be able to be carried out, all the officers will have a meeting at noon to understand each other about this matter, and then when the education class is studied in the evening, I will notify again, I see that tomorrow's morning exercise can be a holiday, I don't know how many people can't sleep tonight!"
In the Northeast Army, the so-called education course is named "literacy education" during the period of the New Army stationed in North Korea, and according to the requirements formulated by the New Army Camp Office at that time, that is, the new recruits should complete basic adult education in their first year, mainly by using the literacy education for the soldiers of the New Army in the evening, requiring the soldiers to master the basic language, writing skills, and basic arithmetic skills. The subsequent study is uninterrupted, and according to the final requirement, the primary school diploma is obtained at the time of retirement.
After the end of the "Northeast Campaign," the Military Command Department further strengthened the education courses, and regarded the education courses as the basic guarantee of combat effectiveness along with tactical training.
At the end of the day's training, Wu Mantun, as a veteran, took a few recruits to study textbooks, and like tactical training, the cultural education classes were also old and new, and these recruits also received basic literacy in the new barracks, and compared with tactical training, he was somewhat resistant to cultural education classes, but in any case, orders always need to be obeyed, just like ordering him to be literate with a pen, and according to the platoon commander, illiterate people have no future in the ranks -- they cannot be promoted to non-commissioned officers.
At this moment, the words of the platoon commander rang out in the barracks.
"Okay, that's all for today, there's a form for everyone to fill out!"
As he spoke, the signal corpsman, who was walking in the center, had already handed over three stacks of forms to the three squad leaders, a stack of fifteen.
"The table is very simple, it is to ask for everyone's opinions,"
The platoon commander's words paused slightly, and he looked at the surprised crowd and said with a smile.
"It's just to ask everyone whether they are willing to lead the army salary, or do they want to give land after retiring!"
