The jurisdiction of the 'Beijing Garrison District' is the same as that of the Beijing area, so in the territory of HB Province, the undulating low mountains are very orderly, and the three battalions and seven companies of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment' are responsible for defending a certain position, from the first class to the eighth class, they all have their own positions, except for the ninth class is subordinate to the column of the cooking class, and their fortifications are only some 'stove pits' where pots are buried and cooked. ’

'This digging stove kang, not who wants to dig can dig, this has to judge the wind direction and terrain features, just like here, let's build a stove pit according to the mountain, which not only saves a lot of time, but also can effectively use this soil slope, who can tell sù me, what kind of wind is blowing today! 'The chief of the seventh company, not only the 'accountant' of the company, but also the direct head of the cooking class, the leader of the cooking squad is the first year to settle in the cooking class, and the ability to dig the stove pit is almost zero, so at this time he can only rely on him to explain to the soldiers.

'Report, I know, it's a north-westerly wind today!' A recruit from Class 9 rushed to answer the questions answered by the secretary.

'Very well, then let me ask again, if the northwest wind blows, which direction will the fire in our stove pit be facing?' The secretary asked again, and no one answered, but everyone was thinking.

When they arrived at the position, the food of the whole company naturally had to be done by the cooking squad, including the cooking squad leader, the five 'gang leaders' had no time to dig the stove pit, so this task was handed over to the ninth squad.

"Guo Xiaosong, you and Veteran Hu are responsible for watching the guns, and I will take the brothers to work," the ninth squad leader may have been moved by Guo Xiaosong last night, and pretended to ask Guo Xiaosong and Veteran Hu to watch the guns and rest, and he himself led everyone away.

The weapons of a squad were lying flat on the grass, although there was no grass here, only the yellow grass that was yellow, about one or two centimeters high, and the old soldier Hu handed Guo Xiaosong a cigarette. The two of them sat in a sheltered place, and smoked.

'Lao Hu, what age do you say this is, and you are still engaged in this positional warfare, can you do it, I read from the newspaper that the width of the tank trench in this rice country is two or three meters, just by virtue of our position? If you really want to fight, don't let the tank drive directly to the top of the mountain,' Guo Xiaosong is a person who loves to use his brain, and he has a year of experience as a soldier. Although the command to 'learn high technology' in the troops is shouted three times, the outline of the lesson plan is still the same old-fashioned, and when it comes to drills, it is either digging trenches or digging holes, and learning moles is still very good.

You just know that this drill is a game for the officials, and you can do whatever the superior tells you to do. I think it's very good, it's almost the same as playing at home, just like you, your military is so good. I practiced it in the first year, and I can eat the old book in the second and third years, don't you look at it, we have a lot of three-year veterans. After three years of being soldiers, they haven't been trained yet, so they have to go home and continue to practice! 'Veteran Hu is a person who has served as a squad deputy, and may not be treated well by the platoon commander of this platoon later. Let the platoon commander complain, this time the seventh company was reorganized, he should have had the opportunity to be a squad leader, but he didn't even become a deputy squad leader, the reason is that the company has never attached importance to the third-year soldiers, because these people will be demobilized at the end of the year, training second-year soldiers, let them be squad deputies, but also for the veterans to leave, let these people rise to the position of squad leader, this phenomenon is called 'old with new,' or 'connecting the previous and the next.' ’

The northwest wind in February can be described as quite cold, even if it is hiding in the leeward angle, it is still very freezing, Guo Xiaosong only then understands why the ninth squad leader personally led the team to dig the stove pit, many people are good to work on the one hand, everyone gets together, it is not too cold, do some work, sweat a little, and can also play a role in keeping warm.

"It's cold, it's cold, it's cold," Hu veteran walked back and forth, and he didn't forget to ask Guo Xiaosong to do activities.

"I think this place is really cold, why don't we dig a pit and practice, I'm too uncomfortable just staying here," Guo Xiaosong said, and took off the "war shovel" from the back of his backpack. ’

"I love to dig and you dig, I don't dig it, this digging pit, I dug it up when I was a recruit," Hu Lao shook his head again and again, he would rather be frozen than dig a pit.

Carrying the 'war preparation shovel', Guo Xiaosong didn't dare to go too far, he had to look at the guns of veteran Hu and the whole class, looking around, so that he found a point at the foot of the mountain on the right side of the position, on one side it was cold and windy, and on the other side it was in full swing, and Guo Xiaosong's action began.

The surface floating layer was dug up, and soon the frozen soil layer was reached, and at this time, the war shovel could not be used, Guo Xiaosong ran back to Hu Lao and borrowed the 'war pickaxe' from him.

The textbooks of professional subjects record the excavation of fortifications in great detail, and Guo Xiaosong is a guy who never forgets and knows ten lines at a glance, and soon an 'anti-tank pit' was dug by him.

After hollowing out the deep pit, Guo Xiaosong did not forget to find some branches and other things to put on it, and then backfilled the soil, and then covered the turf that was first dialed down, walked back and forth twice, and after stomping a few feet, he thought he was very satisfied.

"Oh, Guo Xiaosong, Guo Xiaosong, you are really a genius, by the way, this extra soil, I have to find a way to get rid of it," after searching for a long time, Guo Xiaosong finally found a small naturally formed soil bag, and he took the form of ants moving, and piled all the excess soil on it.

Compared with the time when Guo Xiaosong dug the 'anti-tank pit', the ninth squad leader led several of his people, and the action was obviously slower, because when they were halfway to dig, the secretary came to check the work, saying that they had dug the firewood at the mouth of the pit and had to do it again, so it became slower, and finally met the standards of the secretary general, and the next work of their class began.

After boiling a large pot of water, a large iron bucket is used after the cooking class, and the boiling water is poured into the iron bucket while skimming, and the rest is only precipitated soil.

The second step is to wash the cauldron again, and then pour all the unwashed rice and all the bones and brains down, pour boiling water that has been boiled, and stir it with an iron shovel until the rice has changed color, and then re-cover the pot.

A whole pot of rice, as the dry wood burned in the stove pit, constantly emitted the aroma of rice, and this fragrance spread far and wide. When it reached the nostrils of the warriors who were digging the fortifications, they no longer had the strength to work, because they were all hungry.

Two white chickens, twenty pounds of potatoes, when sent to another big vegetable pot, it is still full of Dengdeng, this is the most common food for the troops, chicken soup belongs to meat dishes, potatoes are vegetarian, and the two are combined together. Especially the stewed soup, even if there is no main dish, using it to make rice can also make you eat a big bowl, but the chicken nuggets of these two chickens, the soldiers can rarely get one or two, just because at this time, several cadres in the company, their lunch boxes, have been waiting in front of the cauldron for a long time.

One scoop of chicken nuggets per person. Three platoon commanders, company commanders, instructors, division chiefs, these lunch boxes. It was enough to divide most of the chickens, and the meal was made by the cooking class, so they naturally had to deduct a part, and the ninth squad leader took the ninth class to help 'out of tolerance'. Naturally, they also came to a 'near the water', and the people from the last to the eighth class could only watch others eat meat. They drank the soup.

'It's time to eat, send two people from each class to eat, use a basin for war, a pot for rice, a pot for vegetables!' The 'sergeant' of the cooking squad blew his whistle with a whistle, and there were two cooks beside him, one picking two pots of rice and the other picking a covered two-pot dish. ’

The rice in the rice pot is full, but the dishes in the two vegetable pots are all soup, soup and water, and the people who cook are all recruits from various classes, their hands are all dark, and some are still frozen, and they can't get any better.

"There is a lot of rice, today is a lot, each class first make a pot of rice, not enough to come over, the dish is two spoons per person, each class to eat to report how many people are in the class!" On the surface, it was fair, the sergeant of the cooking class had a soup spoon in his hand, and he had a lot of power at this time, as long as he saw someone who was not pleasing to the eye, he would give you more potatoes, and you would not be able to look at the chicken nuggets.

'How many people are in your class?' ’

"There are nine in our squad, and the platoon commander is also in our squad, a total of ten people," the recruits in the first class have a lot of hearts.

"Nine people are nine people, what else do you say platoon commander, your platoon commander has already eaten, nine people, one spoonful, two spoonfuls, three spoons~~, 'The squad leader of the 147th class is a four-year veteran, and the 'sergeant' of the cooking car class can't be provoked at all.

'Next, in order, second class!' ’

Two recruits from the second squad walked up, and one of them was in charge of cooking, only to see him smile and say, "Squad leader, our squad leader wants to ask you for more soup, can you?" ’

"Yes, of course you can, go back and tell your squad leader, there are two cigarettes for your buddy, don't get on the sedan chair now, prick your ears and eyes now, the 'sergeant' of the cooking class is really like he said, after finding how many spoonfuls of vegetables, he added a few more spoonfuls of vegetable soup."

The meals of each class had been finished until the bottom of the sea was finally exposed, and the 'sergeant' of the cooking squad squeezed his eyes at the two cooks beside him and said, "It's all done, it's time for us." ’

The five people in the cooking class had a small pot of chicken nuggets, and they seemed to have more than the company commander's instructors, and they were eating good food in large gulps, which was obviously their talent, and others did not have this treatment.

The ninth squad leader and the soldiers of the ninth squad returned to the gun place to eat, and Guo Xiaosong had already returned here at this time, and he was still jumping around in the cold.

'Cold, huh? The ninth squad leader held his lunch box in his hand, only to see that the lower layer of this lunch box was rice, and the upper layer was full of chicken nuggets.

"It's okay, it's just that there is no shelter in this place, and there is no shelter from the wind everywhere," Guo Xiaosong took out his lunch box, he wanted to have more soup, so that it would be warm.

After finishing the meal, Guo Xiaosong didn't have to look at the gun anymore, he came to the back of a big rock, and it happened that the ninth squad leader was also here.

For his own squad deputy, the ninth squad leader was quite worthy of him, and he used chopsticks to clip five or six chicken nuggets to Guo Xiaosong at once.

"Squad leader, you keep it for yourself, I don't like to eat this thing," the squad leader's kindness, of course Guo Xiaosong had to be polite.

"I don't like to eat a fart, don't come with me, let's help the cooking class dig the stove pit all morning, it's time to eat more, I'll be honest with you, this chicken is not cooked, I'm already full," the ninth squad leader said very proudly.

'What do you mean you're already full before you're cooked?' ’

'Stir-fry that B is a novice, he doesn't understand anything, he always opens the lid, every time he opens the lid, I say to help him taste it, in fact, it's already cooked, I insist that it's not cooked, your squad leader and I can be considered enough for this trick, 'The ninth squad leader is really an old slippery head.

Chewing the chicken nuggets fiercely, Guo Xiaosong was no longer cold, "Squad leader, people say that ginger is old and spicy, and what they said is not wrong at all, let me learn another trick today." ’

"That daring, you can learn from me in the future, I have a trick," the kettle of the ninth squad leader is filled with liquor, the reason why he wants to hide aside to eat, is also a mouthful of food, a mouthful of wine, such a cold weather, this wine can not be frozen, you can imagine, how high the degree of this liquor is.
