Chapter II

"Name!"

"Yang Xuefeng."

"Origin."

"Fujian #####"

……

I was taken by Scarface to a soldier who was said to be an instructor wearing glasses, and asked a lot of questions, and wrote on the roster while asking, and after a while, he pointed to a place on the roster and said, "Here, sign!" ”

I wrote my name on it as I said, and the instructor put away the book with satisfaction and said meaningfully: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng, welcome you to join the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 118th Regiment of the 40th Division of our 14th Army. As a soldier of the People's Liberation Army, I hope that you will carry forward the style of our revolutionary soldiers who are not afraid of hardships and sacrifices in future battles......"

"What?" I couldn't help but be a little stunned when I heard this, so easy to join the army and become a soldier? I was wondering if I should review any documents!

However, this seems to be normal, I seem to have heard the old man say that the self-defense counterattack war is very chaotic because of the lack of preparation time, and some troops have been fighting on the front line for several days and still people have not arrived on the road. Those who arrived could not find their own troops, so they randomly found a unit and received bullets and followed the charge, and some of them were even killed in battle without anyone knowing his name. It is precisely because of this that the more devils can easily change into military uniforms and blend into our troops.

I wanted to say something, but in the end I swallowed what I had to say. Because I know that the instructor is the person in charge of political work in the army, if I say it in front of him, it will lead to nothing but to do some ideological work or a deep review.

It's miserable, I can't help but sigh in my heart, just now I wanted to deliberately make them kick me out of something unqualified, but now it seems to be like this.

"Good job!" After saying a lot, the zuihou instructor patted me on the shoulder: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng, you should follow the second platoon leader!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his head at the scar face next to me, and introduced: "The second platoon leader's nickname is Scar, and he is also from Fujian like you, and his military quality is excellent. You are fellow countrymen, so you usually exchange and exchange combat experience. Now is the time when the motherland needs us, and we must not let down the expectations of the motherland and the people......

I can only smile bitterly when I hear this, the expectations of the motherland and the people? What about my expectations?

"Platoon commander!" When the instructor walked away, I said to Scar, with a glimmer of hope, "Look...... Am I a soldier? I can't even shoot a gun, and there is no more than me in this army, and no less than me......"

"I'm talking about you, comrade!" Scar Tiger glared at me and interrupted me, "Why do you keep thinking about desertion? What do you mean that guns can't shoot? Didn't you just beat it? Killed a Yue devil, didn't he? ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, the scene of the Yue devil's head exploding in front of me just now appeared in my mind again, and my stomach couldn't help but turn over again.

"Look at them!" Scar ignored me, dragged me to the middle of the troop, pointed to a young soldier and said, "Do you know how old he is?" I only turned eighteen after the New Year, and I didn't shoot a few days ago, so I don't go to the battlefield now? ”

"Hello comrade!" The little warrior stood up with a smile: "My name is Wang Shilei, and everyone calls me Little Stone!" ”

"And this!" Scar dragged me to a bearded man again: "People are originally pig killers, isn't it the same meritorious service when they go to the battlefield?" After a battle, he stabbed a dozen devils with bayonets! ”

"Hello comrade!" The bearded man stood up humiliately, and said shyly like a big girl getting on a sedan chair: "My name is Zhang Dapeng, and my comrades are called bayonets!" ”

"Zhang Dapeng!" Scar raised his head and said, "Introduce Comrade Yang Xuefeng to your experience in killing enemies!" ”

"Actually...... Nothing! The bayonet scratched his head and thought for a long time before replying: "I have no culture, so I don't have any experience...... That, I'll kill the devil as a pig......"

There was a coax, and the surrounding soldiers were amused by these words.

Scar said to me seriously: "I said Comrade Yang Xuefeng, desertion on the battlefield is a must!" Learn more from other comrades! Yes! ”

As he spoke, Scar shoved a rifle into my hand, lowered his voice and said, "You lost that gun on the road, and I got you another one." Next time, you have to pay attention, as a soldier, you will make a big mistake if you lose your gun! ”

"Make a big mistake?" Listening to me, I couldn't help but be excited: "Platoon commander, what can you do if you make a big mistake?" You...... Punish me! ”

"You ......" Scar was so angry that he snapped his finger at me a few times: "Boy, I warn you!" None of our platoon is a bad seed, if you want to embarrass us in the second platoon, I won't spare you! ”

Saying that, he simply ignored me, walked to the side with a straight face, and sulked himself. I think he must be scolding his mother in his heart, how could he put up a soldier like me who is afraid of death and has no face.

But what the fuck do I want to do?

Who doesn't know to have face? But you want me to carry a gun to fight, and you want me to kill people...... You say I can do this job if I haven't even killed a chicken?

But then I did it, and I remembered that I had killed someone just now, and that scene always appeared in my mind from time to time, and I think I will never forget it in my life.

Reluctantly, he found a place to sit down, picked up the rifle in his hand and looked at it.

This is the 56-type semi-automatic rifle, I heard the old man say that this thing is our army's standard rifle, because it is equipped in 56, so it is called 56-type, and those who are soldiers are used to calling him 56 and a half. Thinking that I would rely on it to save my life when I went to war, I took out a magazine and stuffed it inside, but I couldn't find the entrance.

"Comrade!" Xiao Shi came up with a grin, snatched the rifle from my hand and demonstrated: "Press here, ten bullets, with a bayonet in front, pull it off and come out...... Shoot like this......"

As he spoke, he also took a shooting pose in front of me, which caused a burst of laughter from the other fighters:

"Come on! Little stone, how many days will you shoot? ”

"Done! Our little stone has also become a master! ”

……

He only said that the little stone was red-faced, and quickly returned the gun to me and fled like a monkey.

I didn't say anything, because I was sensitive to the disdain in the way the warriors looked at me, and I knew that they were actually making fun of me when they made fun of Little Stone.

If this was me before, I would have to gather a group of fox friends to ask for an explanation. But now...... Everyone is a soldier who fights, and I'm such a lonely one, as the so-called two fists are hard to beat with four hands, isn't it boring to discuss with them?

"All of them! Gather! "At that moment, a lean, dark-faced warrior with a pistol pinned to his waist came up and shouted at us.

Later, I learned that this lean soldier was our company commander, and it was said that he was a good farmer, and the troops he led could always do the work quickly and well during mass production, so he was promoted from a small soldier to a company commander. When I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned, how good is farming? Be a company commander because the field is planted well?

Listening to the company commander's order, the soldiers jumped up from the ground as if they had loaded a spring and quickly lined up.

"Stand upright...... At ease! After the company commander shouted a series of passwords, he crossed his waist and waved his hands and shouted: "Comrades! The battle just now was not very good because of insufficient preparation! But the fighters all behaved bravely and did not lose face for us in a row. Considering our difficulties, the superiors agreed to give us ten minutes of artillery support. This time, we must not let down our superiors, and we must take down the high ground that stands in front of us with all our might, and report to the people of the motherland and the party Central Committee with excellent achievements! ”

"Down with Vietnamese revisionism!"

"Down with all reactionaries!"

……

The warriors shouted one after another in perfect cooperation, but the shout was heard in my ears...... Why do you feel so awkward!

"It's 10:05!" The lean soldier looked at the watch in his hand and said: "The general offensive will start on time at half past ten, comrades take advantage of this time to have a good rest, raise enough spirit to kill the devils!" ”

"Kill the devil!"

"Kill the devil!"

……

With the order to "disband", the team was busy, some were checking equipment, some were packing their luggage, and some were talking to others, as if they were talking about how to fight in this battle...... I was the only one sitting on the rock, not knowing what to do.

"Boy!" I don't know when Scar walked up to me, handed me a cigarette and said, "When the time comes, you will follow me what I do, understand?" ”

"Yes!" I answered dryly.

It's a matter of life and death, where do I dare to slap a swollen face and become fat.

"Don't be too nervous!" Scar said casually: "That's how it is to fight, once born and twice cooked." Everyone has been scared at times, and after a few battles, they will naturally become veterans! ”

I can only smile bitterly in my heart, afraid that I will go to see Hades before I become a veteran.

"Platoon commander!" At this time, someone answered: "This No. 7 highland is coming, is it going to hit Lao Cai?" ”

"Isn't that right?" Scar replied with some excitement: "Comrades, work hard, let's camp in Lao Cai tonight!" ”

"Holo ......"

"Old Street? Heights 7? I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart as I listened.

I remember that the old man seemed to have said before that when our troops attacked Lao Cai, they used the main force of a division to contain the enemy in the front, and the strength of a regiment bypassed the enemy's frontal defense line and inserted it from the Xiaocao area on the flank to the enemy's defense in depth, thus making the enemy's frontal defense line meaningless.

This strategy would have been fine, but there were seven unnamed highlands of various sizes in the Kocao area, and the numbering of these highlands was problematic. To put it simply, the No. 1 to 7 heights assigned by the headquarters are different from the No. 1 to 7 heights organized by the front-line troops, and as a result, all the shells fall on their own heads when the artillery fire is prepared......

It wouldn't be such a coincidence that I'm here, and I shudder at the thought of this.
