Episode 7 Tianxingjian (3) The tower shows its skills
Under the battle flag of the R Army, the second company of a small engineer regiment dared to enter the upper reaches of the 'Jingbei River' on the Sino-Soviet border to carry out the operation of embankment penetration, Guo Kaishan has always reported doubts, but he did not ask the commander of the second company.
"Report to the company commander, the embankment penetration operation is complete, do you have to go over and take a look!" The platoon commander, who was in charge of the work in the water, came running over in a leather jacket and leather pants.
'Deputy Company Commander, prepare as originally planned!' The commander of the second company did not rush into the water, but ordered the deputy commander of the second company next to him.
'Yes, class one, follow me!' I saw that the deputy commander of the second company was not wearing waterproof clothing, and the first one rushed into the water.
The soldiers of a class, each wrapped a large bundle of things, these things Guo Kaishan knew, as early as when he was in school at 'H Military Industry', he came into contact with them, and these were all used for water blasting.
I saw more than a dozen soldiers, under the command of the deputy company commander, stuffing explosives into the hole behind the embankment, and from a visual point of view, these explosives must have weighed as much as four or five hundred pounds, and connected the detonator and the starting facility, and the deputy company commander made a 'finish' gesture in the water.
'Stand back, I can do it alone!' After watching the gesture of the commander of the second company, the deputy company commander began to evacuate the soldiers in the water, and finally replied to the commander of the second company with a "finish" gesture.
'Occupy the commanding heights ahead with full speed!' The commander of the second company took out his pistol and swung it at his head.
Guo Kaishan was working with the cooking class, and now that the company commander has given the order, he also followed the big iron pot of the cooking class to a higher mountain bag.
"Report to the company commander, the blasting is ready," the deputy company commander of the second company also connected the 'riot guide rope' while everyone rushed to the mountain bag, and he came ashore wet and wet.
'Let's go! â
The commander of the second company gave an order, and the deputy company commander pulled the blast line, only to see that the squeaky sound quickly reached the water. After two or three minutes, a column of water rushed up from the water of the embankment, and the task was completed smoothly.
'Pack up your things, remember to record this, send a copy to the regiment, and then send a copy to the comrades of the local water conservancy department!' The commander of the second company said to the accompanying cadres around him, and Guo Kaishan realized that there were several 'second lieutenants' here. The 'lieutenant' was not the platoon commander of the second company, but was sent by the head of the regiment or the military headquarters of the R Army.
Since he is a soldier in the next company, he must do 'don't ask what he shouldn't ask', and the next one continues to the north, Guo Kaishan is also conscious, and when he camped and practiced in the last time, he was targeting the Soviet border soldiers who were about to move, and I think it was the same this time. There's nothing more to ask.
The company commander of an engineer company often knows more than the commander of an infantry company. It is a compulsory course for engineer commanders, and the commander of the second company saw that Guo Kaishan had not expressed any opinions in front of him, so he should treat him as if he did not save zĂ i, a subject. One subject was carried out, and finally reached the northernmost 'outpost' of the R Army's defensive area.
A mere ordinary outpost, six fighters. A 'second lieutenant', who was both a platoon commander and a 'sentry commander', came down from the tower when he saw the troops of the engineer company coming towards him.
"Oh, I said squad leader, how high this iron frame is, I get dizzy when I see it, don't say I climb up every day, you see, there are really people coming down from above!" This was the first time that the cook had seen this scene.
'That's because you're timid, why aren't people afraid, squad leader Guo, let me ask you, are you afraid? The cooking squad leader looked at the tall watchtower and said to Guo Kaishan beside him.
'If you don't try, get me a few and two more cans, and I'll go up and comfort the brothers!' Guo Kaishan has been living too ordinarily for many days, and he doesn't have any heavy tasks, and this time he wants to show it in front of the soldiers.
While the commander of the second company was having a conversation with the platoon commander who came down from the watchtower, Guo Kaishan made a string in the team, and finally walked past the instructor and said, "I'll go up and have a look!" Then he was gone.
The instructor of the second company hadn't reacted for a while, but when he reacted, Guo Kaishan had already climbed up.
With the shouting of the soldiers below, the commander of the second company and the platoon commander of the outpost also saw Guo Kaishan.
'I said, "How did you bring this soldier, why did you go up here!" The platoon commander of the outpost was afraid that Guo Kaishan would be in danger, although the tower was very strong, but there were no safety measures, so he climbed up like this, which was really hard work.
The commander of the second company was obviously worried, 'What should I do, he has gone up.' â
The platoon commander of the outpost turned the 'armed belt' on his body forward, revealing the 'safety hook', it turned out that they were also taking precautions when they went up, 'You ask me, who do I ask, you sue your soldiers, don't scream anymore, don't startle him, if this really falls, it's not easy to mess with, at least you have to fall half to death! â
'Well, don't make any noise!' The commander of the second company gave his order.
Seeing Guo Kaishan climb to the bottom of the tower step by step, this speed is quite amazing, but the sentry on the watchtower was puzzled, thinking that Guo Kaishan was sent by their platoon commander to deliver something to him, and ate 'leisure and' and canned luncheon meat in a big gulp.
The top of the watchtower is made of a regular glass house, and it is warm and windless, and there are high-powered observation equipment, as well as radio and telephone.
The phone rang, and it was the platoon commander of the outpost under the tower, 'I said why don't you obey the order, who told you to go up!' â
Guo Kaishan said with a smile, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, I said who are you talking about, I just came up to take a look, if you have any questions, tell our company commander, don't go down and BB with me." â
"You, you still dare to scold, I, I~" The platoon leader of the outpost was in the outpost under the tower, looking at Guo Kaishan at a high place, he was a small black spot at this time, and this height must be at least fifty or sixty meters away.
"Come, I'll come, you take your breath first," the commander of the second company snatched the phone of the platoon commander of the outpost.
"I said Lao Guo, didn't you say that you didn't cause me trouble, look at what you're doing, what's going to happen to you, you still let me live, you better come down!" â
"Report to the company commander, I can't go down, and my legs are weak when I come up." I don't think I can get down for a while! Guo Kaishan's voice on the phone was very sad, he deliberately pretended to be.
He said he couldn't come down, what do you say? The commander of the second company covered the phone with his hand and turned his head to the platoon commander of the outpost.
'What can I do, there's a lifeline on it, you tie it around his waist, and he can come down.' â
I said Lao Guo, there is a life-saving rope on it, you can tie it around your waist and come down. â
Is this the root? Guo Kaishan really found a bundle of rope, and he threw it from the top of the tower.
'Holy. This B is so stupid! It was the first time that the platoon commander of the outpost had seen a 'soldier' who was like a confused soldier, and he jumped up in anger.
"You wait first, hey, don't put the phone away, hey, Lao Guo, Lao Guo, ~~" The commander of the second company wanted to say something, but the phone had already been left behind by Guo Kaishan.
I can see it. You're either here to help us, you're just messing with me, you know, just this rope. I've been on it for more than ten years, just let him throw it like this, I'm finished,' the platoon commander of the outpost was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
You're angry. I'm still angry, so what do you say, you have to get him down! The commander of the second company was still worried about Guo Kaishan's safety.
'What can I do?' Come personally! There were other sentries in the outpost, and the platoon commander of the outpost was called out.
'Here! Old platoon, what's the matter? A tall sentry approached, and this man was a 'corporal.'
'Go up and give him the rope, remember, you must tie it to him, and then put it down!' â
'Old platoon, this rope weighs dozens of pounds, you let me go up alone? 'Usually climb up lightly, it's very easy, but with so much weight, this 'corporal' really has no bottom in his heart.
'It's not you who go up alone, I'll send you a few people, remember, pay attention to safety, wear two seat belts, and double hooks!' The platoon commander of the outpost is still very concerned about his soldiers.
Just as the 'corporal' at the outpost was preparing his own things, Guo Kaishan came down from the tower alone, only to see that his speed was neither fast nor slow, and his military uniform whirred three times in the wind.
"Hey, I said that you are really stupid as a soldier, you are really faint and can't stop damning, why did he come down like this!" The platoon commander of the outpost could hardly believe his own eyes, and he and the soldiers in the outpost had to hang hooks around their waists up and down the watchtowers, but the soldiers of this engineering company did not tie anything up and down, and they came down like this.
The commander of the second company rushed out of the outpost and came to the bottom of the tower, and he watched as Guo Kaishan came down from the top step by step.
Not only was the commander of the second company nervous, but the cadres and soldiers of the second company were very nervous, Guo Kaishan had already established a friendship with everyone in the past few days, and everyone wanted to carry him off the tower in person for such a dangerous action.
'Take the tarpaulin, take the tarpaulin, what are you doing standing, ready to continue!' The deputy company commander suddenly thought of something, and he ordered the soldiers around him.
A dozen people were in a bunch, and a few large tarpaulins were followed under the tower, but their efforts were in vain, Guo Kaishan did not let them have a chance to use this thing, and after more than ten minutes, he landed smoothly.
Although the platoon commander of the outpost admired Guo Kaishan's courage, he still stepped forward and pushed him hard, "I said that you don't know how to do it, who told you to go up!" â
Before Guo Kaishan could speak, the deputy company commander on the side stepped forward and pushed away the platoon commander of the outpost, "Do you understand or not, who are you talking to, this is the third in our regiment!" â
The platoon commander of the outpost is not blind, this is obviously a 'sergeant', plus Guo Kaishan usually cultivates his face very well, and his beard is cleanly shaved, where will this be No. 3, 'What's wrong with No. 3, come to me, you have to listen to me, do you know no, this rope was personally carried by our first old sentry commander, he just threw it down for me, this is an accident, this is an accident, no, I have to report to my superiors!" â
Guo Kaishan smiled, "This time it's me who is wrong, I have also stood guard before, not as high as the iron tower here of yours, don't worry, I still have to write this inspection, I will write it for you and stay, my name is Guo Kaishan, I am really the deputy head of the engineering regiment." â
'Hello Chief! Seeing that Guo Kaishan's voice did not look like a 'young man', this time the platoon commander of the outpost really believed it, and he saluted Guo Kaishan with a military salute.
Guo Kaishan didn't return the salute, "It's really hard to stand guard here, I understand your feelings, come on, you can also taste my craftsmanship, today's and, half of it is branded by me!" Holding the hand of the platoon commander of the outpost, Guo Kaishan took him to the cooking class, boiled the 'leftover beef soup' made the day before, and roasted two sheets of 'leisure and', Guo Kaishan watched the platoon commander of the outpost eat all the food.
