Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Forest

After doing this, Li Yong went to the tent to rest, Li Yong still shared a tent with Wang Chengde, and the company commander and instructor lived in the same room as an old tradition of our army during the war years, and the best treatment of the special service company had to be said to be Hu Xiaolian, the captain of the health team, because she was the only female soldier in the whole company, and she could not live with others, so she had to live in a tent by herself.

Hu Xiaolian's tent and Li Yong and Wang Chengde are next to each other, Li Yong is lying on the oilcloth mattress and listening to Hu Xiaolian humming a small tune in his tent, I don't know what she sings, it seems to be some folk songs from northern Shaanxi, Li Yong didn't understand the lyrics, but Hu Xiaolian's voice was sweet and timid.

At this time, Wang Chengde walked in, and when he heard Hu Xiaolian next door humming a little song, he said to Li Yong: "Dayong, I think this Hu Xiaolian is a little bit interested in you, is it interesting to you when you were recuperating from injuries in someone's house, but at that time, if you have any actions that are disciplined, but now that his man has died, she is a martyr, if you have any ideas, it is normal, I support it, or you go over and take a look?" ”

Li Yong wanted to go over very much, but he was embarrassed to say it, thinking what it means to have an idea, what is an idea, you can't always think about everything, you have to take action, do you have to be a soldier, you have to do things quickly, and rush forward if you feel it, this is also the experience of being a person in two lives, and she has been taken down when she was recuperating from injuries at home.

But this thing can only be done but not said, can only be understood but not spoken, but said: "What has happened, Lao Wang, I now think about the food of our company, our food can only support half a month, what should I do after half a month?" What do more than 400 of us eat? Drink the Northwest Wind? ”

Li Yongguan's instructor Wang Chengde is called Lao Wang, in fact, this Lao Wang is not old at all, he is only 24 years old this year, but he is a veteran with eight years of military experience, and it took a lot of effort for Regiment Commander Zhao to transfer Wang Chengde to the spy company as an instructor, and the regiment commander's mind is also very clear, no matter what kind of troops, no matter what kind of training you use, the party branch must be strong, and this must not be shaken, and this is also the fundamental reason why our army can overcome difficulties.

Although a party branch is not large, it is a powerful center of cohesion, and only in this way can our troops burst out with unparalleled combat effectiveness.

Li Yong also agreed with the regiment commander's viewpoint, and at the beginning he took the initiative to send an instructor with old qualifications, and Wang Chengde lived up to his expectations; after arriving at the company, in addition to cooperating with Li Yong's work very wholeheartedly, he also set up a party branch of the company, and now the party branch of the spy company has become a strong collective.

After listening to Li Yong, Wang Chengde said with a smile: "Dayong, are you worried?" We can't even have half a month's food, I didn't dare to think about it before, when we were in the old army, we could have five days of food, everyone secretly laughed, hungry and full is commonplace, you don't have to worry, there is no endless road, there will be a way when the time comes, besides, we have to fight the enemy in Qinghai and Ningxia, where a considerable part of the enemy is cavalry, let's find a way to clean up its cavalry first, as long as we fight well, we can use horse meat as dry food. ”

Li Yong thought about it, if everything was ready, it would not be a war, how could the logistics support system of that era be compared with modern times.

At noon on the second day of the march, the troops entered the big forest, and the deeper they went, the more difficult it became, but fortunately, most of the soldiers were locals, and they knew how to walk the road, and they were mentally prepared to take such a road.

In the big forest in summer, all kinds of small animals run around, and the sparse trees are full of wildflowers, Li Yong admires the scenery in the big forest very much, and mutters in his mouth how good it would be if he didn't fight and now he is here to travel, but imagine that reality is reality, Li Yong ordered the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon to catch small animals as much as possible, but not to shoot.

The troops marched day and night from the forest that sheltered the sky and the sun, the winding mountain road was narrow and steep, the black pressure of the mountain had just moved over, and one was in front of the soldiers, after continuous marching troops camped, the cooking squad was busy making fires and cooking, other soldiers were setting up tents, and now the soldiers like to live in tents very much, the feeling that the wind does not blow and the rain is good, and there are groups of three or five to catch small animals, Li Yong asked the platoon leaders of each platoon to tell everyone that it is okay to catch small animals, and they can be roasted and eaten by fire after dinner, but they can't go far, Beware of getting lost in the big forest.

It's very scary to get lost in the big forest, even in the daytime, the sunlight can only shine through the gaps in the leaves, you can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and at night you can't see what kind of target such as the Big Dipper can indicate the direction, stay where you are and walk indiscriminately will only starve to death or be eaten by large beasts.

If you get lost in the big forest, don't panic at the first point, first see if you can use your knowledge to distinguish the direction, and then contact the relevant personnel to save you, if you really don't even have a sense of direction, and you can't contact anyone, the last way is to look in a direction and keep moving forward, looking for the river in the forest, as long as there is a forest there is a river, find the river and then go downstream along the river, as long as the will is strong enough to basically come out.

The spy even ate millet porridge and large cakes with pickle strips for dinner, and everyone ate very fragrant after a day's journey, and after eating, everyone roasted small animals on the fire of the cooking class, and now they saw the ability of each platoon, and they caught everything, and the young man in the police squad caught a few pheasants, and the direct flow oil roasted on the fire, even Li Yong was drooling and shouting fragrant, after the pheasant was roasted, Li Yuming broke two chicken thighs and gave them to Li Yong, Li Yong wrapped a chicken thigh in a cloth and put it in his pocket, and the other one ate while walking.

This roast pheasant thigh is really fragrant, when I was a child, I once saw the eagle catching the chicken in the mountain, at that time I was only eleven or twelve years old, and two friends went to the mountain to play, I was very excited to see the eagle catching the chicken, because the pheasant was too big, the eagle caught up and flew not high, and the two little friends chased closely on the ground, this chase is more than ten miles of mountain road, I didn't know tired at the time, until the eagle threw the chicken into the ground and ran away, three friends roasted the big pheasant caught by the eagle on a flat ground in the mountain.

When I eat it, I feel that the fragrance is indescribable, I have eaten a lot of chickens when I grow up, how to do it, and the flavors of various places are not less tasted, and I have tried to roast myself, but I feel that it is not as fragrant as the roast in the mountains when I was a child, and it may also have something to do with the hunger or the lack of oil and water in the stomach at that time, I think about it for almost 30 years, and the taste has not been forgotten.
