Each place has its own traditions, and each place has its own underlying rules, and Liu Hong's company is no different. Because it is located on the border between China and Mongolia, it is very difficult, so there is an unwritten rule here, that is, as long as a soldier has worked for five years, he can unconditionally become a volunteer. If the platoon commander has served for three years, he will be transferred to another post in the regiment, and if he wants to stay, he can at least be promoted to the post of deputy company, and if the head of the company is vacant, he can be directly promoted to the head of the company, without going through the airborne personnel of the higher level. Also, no one wants to apply for this painful realm. Liu Hong's arrival, Zhang Yu's division head father is knowledgeable, he wants to see if this future son-in-law can endure hardships, whether he is as good as written in the archives, and he has to look at people: Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he will see people's hearts over time.
Liu Hong, the platoon commander, does not have a single soldier under him, but he is still very strict with himself everywhere, and he usually helps those platoon commanders who have something to go out to manage the troops, and the relationship with the soldiers is getting better and better.
The painful winter finally passed, and the grassland ushered in a green spring, and in order to facilitate the inspection, the superiors also distributed a few new war horses to the company. This horse is all selected from the army's horse farm, all Mongolian horses, although the horse is small, but in this boundless grassland, walking is extraordinarily brisk, even in the hilly area of 100 meters high, people do not need to get off the horse, go up directly. Liu Hong was also interested, and kept begging the company commander to let him follow the personnel of the checkpoint to take a look at my country's border. Seeing that he was so active, the company commander arranged for him and a platoon commander to take a squad of soldiers to check the outpost.
Outer Mongolia has been China's territory since ancient times, but for various reasons, it was independently divided, and now the Taiwan government does not recognize Outer Mongolia as a country.
Liu Hong's learning to ride a horse is the same as learning other things, and after several repetitions, he is now very proficient. The procession of them was about a dozen people, and the mattresses on their horses were filled with food and food. Among them, there are beef jerky, compressed biscuits, luncheon meat, and of course, the least is the hydration bag made of cowhide. Liu Hong usually drank very little water, and most of the water he brought was given to his soldiers. Water is the source of life, and everyone drank Liu Hong's water, of course, they all thought that Liu Hong was indeed a good person.
The outpost on the border is actually empty, just to check the boundary markers between the two countries. Most of the people standing guard are herdsmen from the Corps farms, and they act as militiamen while herding their cattle and sheep.
Liu Hong and his party soon arrived at a post at the farthest end of the company, where they were greeted by a herdsman of pure Mongolian descent. The host's name is Bagen, and he is very enthusiastic, and after inviting everyone to the yurt, he brewed a strong milk tea to entertain them. The platoon commander took out the salary given to Bagan by his superiors, saying that he had added ten yuan to them this year, a total of 600 yuan. Bagen and Liu Hong said that they asked them to go back and report to the company, his child will be almost eight years old after the New Year, and he wants the child to go to school in the city to see if the organization can make arrangements for their family, and without waiting for the platoon commander to speak, Liu Hong agreed. He thinks that this is a good thing, and the superiors will definitely approve it, and in the new society, it is impossible not to let a school-age child not go to school.
The next day, after coming out of Bagan's house, everyone replenished the water and then hit the road. The next stop is a post not far from Ulanhot, Liu Hong has been riding for a long time, he loves to ride, this time he asked the platoon commander to move forward, and rushed out of the road first. When he ran to a mountain beam, looking at the grassland under the mountain that could not be seen, he shed tears of excitement, he was completely immersed in happiness, Liu Hong picked up the water bag from the horse, took a sip of joy, looked back at the platoon commander and the soldiers, he sang a very famous song "Song of the Prairie".
After a day of riding, everyone finally came to the next outpost. The owner of this outpost is called Morgentu, a Mongolian man in his thirties. With his wife and children, he lives near the pastures of this outpost.
As soon as Liu Hong and his party entered the yurt, Morgentu enthusiastically took out the mare's milk wine. Liu Hong didn't drink it at first, he didn't like the smell of wine, but he was embarrassed to refuse the host's enthusiasm, so he had to drink a big bowl with roast mutton. Strange to say, although this wine has a taste, but when you eat barbecue, you can't do without it. Liu Hong didn't wait for the master to toast, he cut the meat with a knife in one hand, and after eating the meat, he picked up the cup with mare's milk wine and drank it. When everyone saw Liu Hong's virtue, they didn't pay attention to laughing, which made Liu Hong very embarrassed, and said vigorously: "This wine is really good, it's just right to drink with meat, it's the first time I drink it, don't laugh at me." ”
When Morgentu learned that Liu Hong was the new platoon commander, he took out a Mongolian dagger from the box and gave it to Liu Hong. After Liu Hong took the knife, he took it out and looked at it again, this knife was made by Gentu himself, and the gems on the knife shell were set by someone, and it was very eye-catching in his hand. Liu Hong was very happy to thank the master, but there was nothing of value on him, and he gave it back to Gentu. He took out fifty yuan and stuffed it into Gentu's child's hand, saying that it was a gift for the child.
After a long trek, Liu Hong and his family finally came to the last stop, which is a small mountain village not far from Ulanhot. As soon as Liu Hong and the others entered the village, they found that there were many houses on the high mountain side and many houses in the ravine. The platoon commander explained to Liu Hong, he said that the people who live here on the mountain beam are called "above" locally, and the people who live in the ravine are called "below".
Liu Hong lives in the village chief's house. According to him, the village chief, surnamed Wang, is also a member of the pure Mongolian ethnic group, and according to him, his family is a descendant of Wang Baobao of the Yuan Dynasty, and finally came here due to the constant migration of wars. Liu Hong asked Wei Lu why there were people who lived on the mountain beams, and some people who lived in the ravines. The village chief gave an accurate answer, it turned out that during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese entered Mongolia, in order not to let their families and property be damaged, the people in the village arranged for young people to build a house on the mountain beam, as a warning, once they found that there were devils coming, they would notify the people in the village to ride horses and quickly flee from here. Liu Hong found it very interesting, so he chatted with the village chief about family life, and picked up a notebook to write it down, he is a person with a cultural background.
Liu Hong was deeply impressed by the village chief's black tea, a large iron tea jar, and the words "The Battle of So-and-so" were printed on it. More than half of the tea jar is tea leaves, and only a small part is water. After Liu Hong took a sip, the thick tea really couldn't be swallowed quickly.
Liu Hong and they lived in the Westinghouse, and Liu Hong woke up thirsty in the middle of the night and wanted to find some water to drink. He saw that there was a big water tank in the kitchen, so he hit a scoop with a gourd, and drank it in a daze, unexpectedly, it was full of sorghum wine, choking Liu Hong almost did not faint, at this time the village chief heard the voice, and also came to the kitchen, saw Liu Hong's appearance, Da Lang smiled and said: "You haven't drunk enough at night, this is my family's wine, I want to drink some more." Liu Hong's face was flushed, and he just wanted to drink water, so the village chief took out a thermos from the back room and poured water for Liu Hong, and told him a lot about the village.
After more than a month of checks, Liu Hong and the others finally returned to the company. As soon as he arrived at the company headquarters, the company commander announced the order of his superiors. The platoon commander who checked the sentry with Liu Hong has been promoted to deputy company commander, and his platoon commander position is held by Liu Hong. Liu Hong finally had more than 30 fighters and became a real platoon commander.
