Although the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company' is now subordinate to the military headquarters of a certain army, there is only a 'lend-lease relationship' between them, and after a period of time, the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company' will be separated from them and transferred to other units participating in the war, and this is the characteristic of the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company.'

The cadre establishment of the "Zhang Wenzhi Company" is the "single chief officer system" and the "chief and deputy platoon commander system"; the difference between them and ordinary companies is that ordinary companies have generally abolished the post of "deputy platoon commander," while the "Zhang Wenzhi Company" still retains it, because the front-line officers are the 'soul' of the troops, and if the platoon commander has sacrificed, the deputy platoon commander can also take over the command of the troops.

After a battle, the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company' will enter the inland areas of our country to rest, of course, the company's information is secret, there has always been more than one rest area, they tend to go back and forth to the border, the rest time will not be very long, the spies of country Y, even if they find out that they exist, but want to track their whereabouts, it is simply impossible to do, after all, in China in the eighties of the last century, their means of transportation and communication are not very developed, it can be said that 'there is a heart, no power'.

The officers in the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company' are sacrificing one and replacing one, and the same is true for the soldiers, they are often from different combat companies, some have done other types of troops, not all of them are 'infantry', and among them there are also 'signal soldiers', 'artillery', or 'reconnaissance soldiers', they have only one thing in common, that is, the soldiers are old, shooting, outstanding in tactics, and there is a spirit of not being afraid of death. The people who come to this company are the ones who want to be heroes.

The 'lonely outer circle' is responsible for the work of vigilance, and has always been organized and led by the deputy company commander, Zhang Wenzhi is very reassuring to him, this is a long-tested old officer, and the praise record in the file is more than a dozen pages long, which is the reason why he asked Zhang Wenzhi to pick here, Guo Kaiqing is a good buddy for Zhang Wenzhi, and he is a trustworthy person. However, his qualifications are still shallow, and his experience is in the initial stage between a soldier and a squad leader, a platoon commander, and the deputy company commander is different, he was a year ago. He was also the commander of an infantry company and participated in several border operations. He was awarded a second-class meritorious service. Once for each of the third-class merits, it would be best for him to 'play forward' for the company.

In the first platoon, there are several soldiers who are the old foundations of the deputy company commander, who came to the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company' voluntarily and now hold the positions of squad leader and deputy squad leader, because the deputy company commander is in charge of the first platoon. So they were put in the position of a platoon of soldiers, and the deputy company commander was still relieved of their performance, as long as they were there, he was not 'alone'.

'Sentry' at night. The most difficult, especially during the battle, if the slightest negligence, not taking care of it at a glance, may cause the company to suffer a devastating blow, the deputy company commander is at this time in the first ditch of the 'lonely line periphery', he has now taken off his 'soft hat', put on a steel helmet, lying on top of the backpack, his eyes motionless looking ahead.

Around the deputy company commander, there were also a row of soldiers, and like the deputy company commander, they took off their 'soft hats', put them in their school bags, and put on the 'steel helmets' without any signs.

The difference between these steel helmets and other troops is that there is no 'five-pointed star' in the middle of the steel helmet, only a small eye that fills the mark, and someone has asked the deputy company commander, for what other troops can wear the 'five-pointed star', but they don't? The deputy company commander's reply was, "Isn't it better if there is none, the enemy sees that we don't have this thing and thinks that we are their people, but when we see that we don't have this thing, we can also judge that we are 'artillery', because only the personnel of this branch of the army do not have a 'pentagram'." ”

The first half of the night was peaceful, and in the second half of the night, a group of 'stragglers' came from a distance, and the deputy company commander ordered the 'signal soldiers' to contact them with gas lamps, and the other party's 'Gada' was the logistics personnel of a certain division, and they only came back after sending ammunition to the front line, because the number was small, the deputy company commander sent someone to order them to pass through the detour and let them pass 100 meters away from their own "position." Although the other party was not very happy, he still approved this request and did not raise any objections.

Guo Kaiqing was in charge of the work of the cooking class, and at four o'clock in the morning, he woke up the soldiers, and while being responsible for calling people to find water sources, he urged the washing of vegetables and cooking.

The cooking squad leader is an old cook, he has been a 'guy' since he was a recruit, and since the battle, he has also practiced the real kung fu of observing the water source, he has tested the water from the soldiers one by one, and also took a lot of powder-like things, sprinkled them in the water, and boiled them at the pole before putting the rice into the pot.

"How? Can this water work? ”

"Don't worry, second brother, I've seen this water several times, it should be usable."

"You have to remember, you have to be the first to eat when the rice is cooked."

"You use me as TJ, when I used to dine for the emperor, I let people taste it first, I am a soldier, I can't make meritorious contributions, devils and devils can't see it, and I have to sacrifice one of them, I'm really panicked."

"What's the loss, you help me get this food work right, and at the end of the year, the company commander and I will report to you for a second-class merit, what do you think?"

"Is this true? Then I'm willing to sacrifice a hundred times. ”

Receiving awards for meritorious service is quite important to every soldier, and Guo Kaiqing's willingness to open this mouth shows that he is not fooling the soldiers for no reason, and giving it to his superiors. Zhang Wenzhi company's reward index, this year's company can have at least six second-class merits, third-class merit is not limited, the cooking class has been very hard, get up early and work darkly, give them a personal second-class merit, it is not too much, this is Guo Kaiqing and Zhang Wenzhi discussed, as long as all the personnel can eat a good meal, they will be given a second-class merit, for the importance of a combat company, stability, logistics is still very important, because they are harder than the soldiers of the infantry squad, when they march, while carrying their own backpacks, they also have to carry the dozens of pounds on their backs"War readiness pot", it is also difficult for them.

The white rice came out of the pot at five o'clock in the morning, and the cooking squad leader filled a large bowl for himself, and ate his pickled pickles, while the soldiers in the same class were still frying leafy vegetables. He was the only one who was eating the white rice in a big gulp, and he didn't mean to give it to anyone else.

"Squad leader, I'm hungry too, let me serve a bowl too." A young cook walked up to the squad leader.

"Fuck off, work for Lao Tzu, how did I tell you about it? You repeat it to Lao Tzu. ”

"The squad leader said that we would not be able to make food until an hour after the squad leader had finished eating, and we had to serve less. Serve after eating. The young cook, as if he usually memorized the "Regulations", said the words of the squad leader word for word.

"It's all said and done, you still don't give me a chance to go back."

"I'm so hungry. Just bring me a bowl. ”

"White rice is no longer good, and I still have a few snack cakes in my bag. You take out one. Take it to the fire and roast it, and shake your stomach first. ”

"That's too dry, open a bottle of roasted meat for me?"

The cook's squad leader nodded, and then kicked the cook's buttocks, and the cooks trotted out to get their own food.

Half past six in the morning. 'Zhang Wenzhilian' ate breakfast as a whole, and after eating, he sorted out his clothes and prepared to leave on time at seven o'clock. Today, the first line is still a platoon, and the deputy company commander uses a platoon, which is very easy to use.

On the clay table of the 'Fingers', there are several bottles of hot canned meat, including 'braised saury', 'Daokou fragrant chicken', 'stir-fried pork with cowpeas', as well as luncheon meat, a small pot of white rice, and two bowls of vegetarian soup next to it.

There were only two people dining around the clay table, one was the company commander Zhang Wenzhi, and the other was Staff Officer Xie of the military headquarters.

"Come, Lao Xie, eat, eat well and hurry." Zhang Wenzhi handed Staff Officer Xie a pair of chopsticks, which were taken out of his schoolbag, and they looked brand new, and he might not be willing to use them.

"Then you're welcome." Staff Officer Xie poured half a bowl of vegetarian soup into his rice bowl, and then devoured it.

"How's my cooking class?"

"It's fragrant, it's really fragrant, it's the same as the canteen of the military department, and yours is much better than theirs."

"Of course, this is the result of Instructor Guo's training, this rice was soaked the night before, and the next morning it had to be thrown with water, and the water was boiled before it was put into the pot, so this rice was full of grains, and it didn't taste firewood at all."

"With you, you are the company commander, you are so happy, you have the deputy company commander to help you guard the door when you sleep at night, three meals a day, and the instructor to help you light the fire, so I sent someone to wash your feet."

"I can't help it, I'll die." Zhang Wenzhi looked very proud, he only used a small bowl of white rice in the morning, drank a bowl of vegetarian soup, and the canned meat was almost untouched, all for Staff Officer Xie to enjoy.

The border map provided by Staff Officer Xie is still left during the 'Y Mi War', although the war has only passed for more than ten years, but the surrounding terrain and features have also changed, because the people of Y country are very cunning, they often change the original direction of the road unexpectedly, and they will also bury some mines on the road you must pass, most of them are 'infantry mines', because at this time our army has been equipped with 'mine-sweeping tanks', those that are expensive' anti-tank mines', there is simply no place for it.

Among the personnel of the first platoon, the deputy platoon commander was an 'overseas Chinese from country Y', in the early days of the war, he moved back to China with his family, three brothers, two of whom were conscripted into the army, he was a college student, after graduating from the military academy, he participated in several battles, and was a well-known 'Y country general'.

"Attention, there are infantry mines in front of this forest, let's take a detour."

The news was reported to the company commander Zhang Wenzhi, and his reply was, "Follow the route of a row." ”

"I said Lao Zhang, why do you believe in them so much, the road ahead is very wide, you just listen to him say this, there is thunder, you will change the route of the march?" Staff Officer Xie didn't believe it, and there would be people who didn't even look at it, and they knew that there was thunder here.

"I believe in them, anyway, it won't go far, and we are not a minesweeping force, so let's leave it to the brother troops in the future to do this."

It took more than an hour to walk around the distance, and Staff Officer Xie wanted to say something, but he was stunned by a loud noise, it turned out that a small animal in the forest had touched a mine and caused a big explosion.

"I'm really convinced of you, where there is thunder and I know the way."

"It's not that I know the Tao, it's that there are masters in our company."

"Whoever is superior, I would like to see."

"Okay, then let you meet, correspondent, call a platoon deputy platoon commander to come over and say that the military leader wants to talk to him and talk to him."

After a while, a small officer ran over, and when Staff Officer Xie saw that he was not good-looking, he didn't believe it at all, and he would look at the 'mines', and he was suspicious in his heart.

"Report to the company commander, is there anything you want me to do?"

Lao Xie said that he didn't believe that you would watch Lei, so you can talk to him. ’

"This is very easy, everyone will have their own methods and habits of burying mines, and the people of country Y are the same."

"According to you, everyone's methods are different, so how can you see that?"

"This is very simple, the people who plant mines, in order not to injure their own people, often leave a unique mark, I was born in country Y, I know their affairs very well, just like we passed by that area just now, they use letters on the trees to sign, saying that most of the people here are infantry mines, it is best not to pass, so as not to hurt the innocent."

"Got it, what else would you do?"

The little deputy platoon commander wanted to answer something, but a soldier in front ran over, "Old platoon, the deputy company commander asked you to go back immediately, maybe you have encountered the enemy?" ”

When the little deputy platoon commander heard this, he didn't say hello to Zhang Wenzhi and them, so he hurriedly ran over.

After a while, a soldier ran to Zhang Wenzhi and reported that a straggler from country Y had just passed by and waved a 'flag message' to us, and our reply was "so-and-so baggage troops" and went to the front to 'carry grain'. ’

"Ha Luha, I said Company Commander Zhang, there are yours, the number of roads of the people of this Y country, you have to figure it out, and their 'flag language' will be known."

"No, we still have their numbers and uniforms." Zhang Wenzhi strode away from the second and third rows, and he walked in the direction of the first row.

Deep in the dense forests in the border area, although there are roads, but they are very complicated, and it is not suitable for 'concealment' here, as long as they encounter enemy troops, a fierce battle is inevitable, Zhang Wenzhi walked at the forefront of the troops, in order to discuss with the deputy company commander, and want to quickly pass through this 'barren land'.

"Why did you get up? You should be in your command position. The deputy company commander looked back and saw that it was Zhang Wenzhi, and his brows furrowed.

"I'm just here to see, how long will it take to get out of this forest?"

"He said there were about thirty minutes left."

"Alright, run forward, pass quickly."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the platoon commander led a squad of fighters and rushed to the front, and their guns also changed from carrying them on their backs to "holding them".

Finally got out of the dense forest, there was a small hill in front of him, and a platoon commander ordered to quickly occupy the hill and cover the advance of the troops.

A squad of fighters, divided into several combat groups, each occupies favorable terrain and enters a state of lying down and shooting.

Before waiting for a platoon, when all the people had passed through the dense forest, the guns in front of them rang out, and the soldiers who were in charge of the guard had already exchanged fire with the enemy.

Due to their unclear understanding of the enemy's situation, Zhang Wenzhi and the deputy company commander stopped their troops, and when they heard the gunshots, Staff Officer Xie also ran over.

"What's the situation?"

"Our knife squad and the enemy have done it."

"How many are there?"

"I don't know, the frequency of listening to gunshots shouldn't be very much."

"So what do we do?"

"The brave of the two armies wins, and we can't go back, deputy company commander, you take the other two squads, find a favorable terrain in front, stabilize first, I will take the second platoon of people and turn to the enemy's right."

"Okay."

Guo Kaiqing ordered the 'heavy machine gun squad', ran to the front and joined the first platoon, the cooking squad, the 'artillery squad', and maneuvered to the third platoon reserve to wait for the 'follow-up order' from the company commander Zhang Wenzhi.

As soon as the third platoon commander saw Guo Kaiqing coming to his side, he immediately reported, "The company commander has outflanked the enemy's right, and he told us to wait here." ”

At this moment, the two machine guns of the 'heavy machine gun squad' also opened fire, and it seemed that their 'fire suppression' was very effective, and the enemy seemed to have retreated. (To be continued......)
